1. Major Topics & Episode Flow

Kentucky Football: Can UK Replicate Indiana’s Rise?

• [05:20] RL raises the big question: After Indiana's shocking national championship, can Kentucky football become the next "Cinderella"?
• MJ & Panel Reflection:
  • Kentucky historically like Indiana—bad football history, basketball school, but now with a new coach/system and some recruiting buzz.
  • MJ: “I think the answer is yes. I never thought it would be a yes, but after I saw Mark Stoops and then get 10 wins a couple times. It can be done.” [06:17]
  • Key Ingredients: Star quarterback (reference to Will Levis), impact transfers, and culture change in a shifting college football landscape.
  • DF: Kentucky may not be a year-in, year-out contender, but "you can get in the conversation," especially with a special quarterback or defensive star (Josh Allen reference) [07:03].
  • RL: The SEC’s tough, but a 9-3 UK team gets more credit than an equivalent ACC/Big Ten squad [08:52].
  • External validation: Even national shows, including Barstool and Fox, are now calling Kentucky a potential “next Indiana.” [10:14]
  • Fan Pressure: Is there now more pressure on Louisville’s Jeff Brohm and Kentucky’s Will Stein? Panel agrees standards have changed post-Indiana. [09:28]

The Fan Conversation: What Makes the “Biggest UK Fan”?

• [15:42] Caller Deanna strongly disagrees with the idea that being present at every game makes one the biggest fan; travel and ticket costs exclude many hardcore fans.
  • RL: Agrees—"I don't think you have to go to any games to be the biggest fan."
  • MJ: Observes some of the most emotional fans “live and die by the radio call, the TV call. It's almost more emotional for them because maybe we get spoiled a little bit.” [17:26]
  • DF defends his position: “I know people who don't have money that still go…” [15:47] but acknowledges most all-game attendees do have resources.
• [35:17] Caller Peggy: UK memorabilia, collections, UK-decorated house—fanhood extends far beyond attendance.
  • RL: Suggests adding to the criteria—listening to KSR, watching every game (live or replay), knowing the roster, having a UK centerpiece at home, even pet/child naming conventions (“Kalina Azabuki Ray from Harlan County” wins extra points) [39:28].

Notable Quote:

• DF, joking about fan-criteria: “Minimum one UK tattoo. Gave up your body.” [39:28]

The Weather Segment: Meteorologist Beef and AI Debates

• [14:02 & 26:21] Running jokes about Louisville weatherman Mark Weinberg clashing over “ice maps,” and AI-generated weather predictions—local meteorologists are feuding online. MJ: “I just love watching them fight. It is so clear they hate each other.” [26:55]
• Panel imagines an on-stage weatherman debate: “Then we get a winner when we see what happens.” [27:23]

Local Color and Community Jokes

• Ghosts & Aliens in KY: The ghost/alien “support group” and Bob’s book event:
  • “He said an alien put a booger in his son's nose. He said it was a tracking device.” [34:19]
  • Mario reports back: Mostly older, all-white crowd, deeply invested. “These people really believe it, though. That's the crazy.” [33:58]
• “365 Buttons” Trend: Explained—a viral TikTok where a woman wants a button for every day, but refuses to explain her logic. “It doesn’t need to make sense to anyone but me.” [22:00-23:40] RL: “That’s you, Ryan. It doesn’t have to make sense to anyone for you.”

High School Hoops Update

• [29:14] North Oldham beats St. X in a big upset, led by Pierre Rondo, Ra’Jon Rondo’s 8th-grade son, who scored 14 points.
  • MJ speculates about Pierre’s future, possibly with Overtime Elite or big prep schools. [29:14-30:55]

Parent Corner/Tangent: Baby Names App

• [42:07] Drew demonstrates an app called “Kinder,” like Tinder but for baby names. Panel jokes through possible names, including Kentucky-legend-inspired options (e.g., “Kalina,” “Callie Perry”).

Betting Wrap & Show Outro

• [44:27] KSR DraftKings consensus: UK will win vs. Texas, but panel leans toward Texas +6.5 against the spread.

2. Notable Moments & Quotes

On Kentucky Football’s Future:

• MJ [06:17]: “With the right player evaluation, you budget the right way, you get the right players in here, you get the right quarterback. I think it can be done.”

On the “Next Indiana” conversation:

• DF [10:30]: “National people... They're all having the ‘who can be the next Indiana’ and Kentucky seems to be a pretty consistent answer across several of these national conversations.”

Fan Loyalty:

• RL [15:42]: “I don't think you have to go to any games to be the biggest fan. As a matter of fact, I would say that the biggest fans may go to, like, one game a year.”
• Deanna (Caller) [16:19]: “My schedule is revolved around the game… Before we schedule zoom meetings, the question is asked, Deanna, what night does Kentucky play?”

On Viral Trends:

• RL [22:00]: “This girl wrote, I am going to have 365 buttons. And everybody was like, okay, what? She said, each button represents one day of the year. ...It doesn't need to make sense to anyone but me.”

Ghosts, Aliens & Tracking Devices:

• Mario [33:58]: “These people really believe it, though. That's the crazy.”
• RL [34:33]: “He said it’s a tracker. That’s just what [aliens] do.”

On Fan Criteria:

• RL [39:02]: “I think you need something that’s a centerpiece of your life that says you are a UK fan. It could be a tree…your car, a tattoo on your arm… [or] you named your child after a UK person.”

Nmlsconsumeraccess.Org welcome to hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back.

[Ryan Lemond]

Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. The text machine, 772-774-5254 here at the KS Bar and Grill. It is Wednesday. You could come out, have lunch. I hope all of you will come out for the game tonight. 4:30 is our pregame show. We'll be course the game is after for the watch party. They've gotten some celebrations. The looked awesome in here Saturday for the Kentucky one and you got to watch Mario jump around and take his shirt off for the LSU and so you can get all of those going. So apparently Ty, ty Washington had 11 points last, last night in the NBA.

[Matt Jones]

I have totally lost track of Tata.

[Ryan Lemond]

He's on the Clippers.

[Matt Jones]

No idea he was in NBA.

[Ryan Lemond]

The Don Lemon thing is they went into a church. The preacher of the church is one of the head ice officers. And so that's why they went in to, I guess during a church service. Yeah, that's poor form. I was telling this man right here. The, the people that. So if I were to rank people in politics that frustrate me, number one are confident stupid people. I really don't like confident stupid people who just. Most people on television now are stupid. Not all, but most people are stupid. And when they speak with confidence and they're stupid, they make me mad. But I have a special place in my heart for confident stupid people on my side because they make it worse for us because they do things that make it harder for us. Like I would think if you're a Republican, you should really hate all these little young, like racist people that now have Internet platforms like the Fuentes. Like, you should really dislike them because they're the. Like they're hurting you, in my opinion. Well, for me, I don't like people who think, oh, there's things ice is doing that we're not comfortable with. By the way, I would agree with that. So I'm going to interrupt the church service. No, people don't know. That doesn't help. Why do you think that helps? That hurts. It's going to make people go, why are you interrupting the church service?

[Drew Franklin]

Nobody wants church service. Being church.

[Ryan Lemond]

My grandmother would have been in there. She would have been tithing, praying, singing, gospel singing. So, yeah. So like, I don't, I wouldn't like that because you're hurting the cause. Like we're on the. If you believe you're on the right side of the Cause don't do things that objectively make it worse. And I would think interrupting church services would make it worse.

[Matt Jones]

I'm sure he thought he was making a big splash. I'm going to make a big statement and they're going to be talking about me and I'm going to get all kind of cl.

[Ryan Lemond]

I did talk about you. Yeah, but it doesn't help. It doesn't help the cause.

[Matt Jones]

No, it doesn't. You know what I mean?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. All right. 859-280-2287. Let's talk about football for a second. With Indiana winning the national championship, the conversation has now gone to, okay, well, who's the next Indiana? Right. Who's the next team that can do something like Indiana? And we, Kentucky are a pretty good contender because we've been terrible in our history, just like they have.

[Drew Franklin]

Correct.

[Ryan Lemond]

New coach, new system, some excitement in recruiting, do you think? Let's leave aside Indiana did an historic run. Okay, 16, 0 national champion, lost two games in two years. I'm not saying that level, but do you think that Kentucky could have a Indiana, like, transition to their program to where they can be a contender even if not a national champion?

[Matt Jones]

I think the answer is yes. I never thought it would be a yes, but after I saw Mark Stoops and then get 10 wins a couple times. It can be done. With the right player evaluation, you budget the right way, you get the right players in here, you get the right quarterback. I think it can be done. Like you said, Maybe not a 16 oh national championship run, but you can have another 10, maybe pushing, get in the playoff type run.

[Ryan Lemond]

You got to have the quarterback, Drew. I think that's the key. You got to have the quarterback. When we, we had Will Levis. All right, so that worked out. You got to have the quarterback. The last few years we haven't had the quarterback. And then you have to find the right players around them. He was able to bring all those dudes from James Madison. That helped. Do you think are your expectations about what Kentucky football can be? Have they changed?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

And really it's not even Indiana. What they did was extraordinary. It's the other teams that were in the top 25 all year where it's like, Georgia Tech's in there, Vandy's in there. There's a bunch of logos we're not used to seeing in the mix. Now, they didn't all get to the final prize like Indiana, but I think Kentucky can join that club in spurts. It won't be consistent every year we're in the conversation, but you can get in the conversation. Just, you need a good roster, but a good quarterback or like a star edge. Like when you had Josh Allen, you need like one or two stars and just good pieces around.

[Ryan Lemond]

You need to use the parlance studs. The studs that you can feed.

[Drew Franklin]

You need to find the studs.

[Ryan Lemond]

So ACC and Big 12 teams, I don't really care what they do because they're playing in a different conference. So acc, Georgia Tech having success doesn't convince me of much because half the teams they play stink. Right. Big Ten, SEC teams convince me. But I would still argue from top to bottom, the SEC is better than the Big Ten. The Big Ten's been better at the top. But you get down to I think the Purdues and the Minnesotas and the, even the, the, the in the acc, the cows and like it's just, they're not as good. So I get a lot of excitement about Vandy being good. Right. And what did Vandy have? They had a star quarterback.

[Matt Jones]

Yep.

[Ryan Lemond]

Right. They had really good coaching. That makes me excited. You know, Missouri has over the years been good. Again, really good quarterbacks. Had two or three of them go to the NFL. Good coaching. So I do genuinely think it is possible and as we've talked about many times, I think we're in a five to seven year period in college football where the order is going to change as to what the programs are and this is when we have to kind of take our advantage.

[Drew Franklin]

And being in the SEC is harder. But you'll also get more credit for a nine and three season.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes.

[Drew Franklin]

And if you just get in the bracket at that point, who knows you were good enough to get in the field for the playoff and we want to win a couple games.

[Ryan Lemond]

We'll have a schedule where nine and three can get you in because we will play the nine SEC games and then we will play Louisville, who as long as Louisville's pretty competitive, that's going to be better than when these other teams are playing but State. And so if you were to beat Louisville, you're. You're going to have 10 really solid games on your schedule. And so Ryan, you, you, your strength of schedule can be very good.

[Matt Jones]

So do you think our fan base will understand that we're in this triangle of Indiana, Louisville, Kentucky? Is there more pressure now on Jeff Braum in Louisville and Will Stein in Kentucky from our fans?

[Ryan Lemond]

More pressure? Listen, I, I think there were a segment of the fans, I was one of these fans who said it'll Never happen here. And so my standard was lower that now changes can. It's theoretically possible. Right. So now your standard is going to change without question.

[Drew Franklin]

There's also, you know, we're all fans, been fans of Kentucky forever, seeing the national conversations right now we're not listening to it because it's on, but people are sending me, I guess on the barstool show this morning, they're all talking about Kentucky's the next.

[Ryan Lemond]

Because that Bobby, right?

[Drew Franklin]

No, no, it's, it's, it's not him. It's like the, the Fox show.

[Ryan Lemond]

He wrote the story Bobby. Right.

[Drew Franklin]

Not the post. I'm talking about on tv. They're comparing Kentucky to Indiana but he.

[Ryan Lemond]

Bars the barstool shows talking about it because Bobby Reagan wrote about whatever other.

[Drew Franklin]

National people to Josh Pate, you name them, people that never mentioned Kentucky unless to say look out for a sleeper that might win seven or eight games. They're all having the who can be the next Indiana and Kentucky seems to be a pretty consistent answer across several of these national conversations.

[Ryan Lemond]

We are definitely the program that looks the most like it. I mean we are definitely the program that looks like they do because we've had no good history basketball school. Right. That's the other thing. New coach.

[Matt Jones]

Right.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean I, I, we do fit the blueprint. Now the question is, is it a blueprint or is it a one year blip? Like is this something that can continue to happen or is Kurt Signetti just like the best coach that ever walked the planet? Well, we'll see. We don't know the answer to that question.

[Drew Franklin]

I think it's a little bit of both. He also woke up a fan base that has a little more money that wasn't going into football. So I don't know if we'll have the Indiana money or even the Vandy money. That's another thing people aren't saying much. Vandy, the Nashville rich people have just gotten into. Vandy didn't even go there and throwing money at it. But it all took a pavia or a signetti to waken those people up and getting that in. You got to have a coach and some star power to even get the ball rolling.

[Ryan Lemond]

I think you, I think there are a substantial amount of people that would like to donate money that need to feel like it's fun and it's going somewhere. And you just have to remember we haven't been fun in a lot of years in basketball or football.

[Matt Jones]

You won one, what, one sec home game in three years now, something like that. I, you know, if you believe in winning the game up front, we've got the studs up front. I think it all falls on our quarterback. I've mentioned a guy that can, you know, he hasn't played much, he's got a lot of his potential but he's not played. But if he can come in and play really well, I think this team could do something.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, it's going to come down to him.

[Matt Jones]

Yep.

[Ryan Lemond]

We're going to have to see what he is and if he's good and the, and we have no idea. And if I'm uk, we'll give my advice to University of Kentucky. If you believe in this Minchi kid for real, and I assume you do, that's why you got him. You need to promote the heck out of him. You need to get this fan base excited about him. The rest of these guys, like we're not going to know these guys. Like we don't really know these receivers and we're not going to really know these running backs. And you know, you got this. I mean how many players on this roster are fans going to really know what Rod, Willie Rodriguez and Ty Bryant. I mean so you've really got to make us. And it starts with the quarterback. You got to make people believe in Kenny Minchee and if you do, then I think fans are going to be really excited. But that's going to be, I think a six month process that they really need to take seriously.

[Matt Jones]

You know they, they did do it with Levis when he came here. They came on the show.

[Ryan Lemond]

Will did have an oversized personality.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

You know what I mean?

[Drew Franklin]

He was making videos and he was.

[Ryan Lemond]

Eating mayonnaise and all. Like he was drinking mayonnaise and like he was doing his own thing.

[Matt Jones]

So I think if Mitchie can come in and kind of win us over also with maybe some interviews and some personality but like there's so hard to.

[Ryan Lemond]

Find any tape of him even online. But even like he doesn't have that much high school tape.

[Matt Jones]

It's amazing. They all say he almost won the job but yet he didn't play Harley at all up there.

[Drew Franklin]

You know who I heard that about? Brock Vandergriff. Remember that conversation?

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Drew Franklin]

He almost won the Georgia job.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, well, we'll see.

[Drew Franklin]

I agree with you on the marketing though. He can't do it himself. I know the Stoops area is a little different last year but that was embarrassing. Spring through fall they need to be all in on. Look at what we have over here.

[Ryan Lemond]

Weinberg. Oh, here comes the Bad boys tweet. Be careful. When you see ice maps posted, they are horrifically wrong. Ice does not accrete one to one, not even close. So these maps are guaranteed to be wrong. It shocks me to see this from meteorologists who should know better.

[Matt Jones]

I want to know now.

[Ryan Lemond]

Who put up the ice map? Yeah, somebody put up an ice map.

[Matt Jones]

Somebody.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right, Somebody do research. Find out why Mark Weinberg's mad.

[Matt Jones]

Did he just put that this morning?

[Ryan Lemond]

Jay posted 20 minutes ago.

[Drew Franklin]

I searched ice map. That was something completely different.

[Ryan Lemond]

Who put up the ice maps? Okay, somebody's stirring the pot. That's an early shot from Draymond Weinberg there. Who's up next?

[Caller Host]

Let's go to Deanna.

[Ryan Lemond]

Deanna, go ahead. Deanna. Hey, there.

[Caller]

First off, I just want to thank you. With you all talking about the catfish story brought back an old memory of my dad and the albino catfish that lived in Ernst Howard. But anyway, that's. No, I was calling. So always listen to you guys getting ready for work and on my drive the next morning. So yesterday's podcast, Drew made a comment about the biggest you paid basketball fan after the Will Stein comment and stuff, and said, you know, he thinks that the biggest fan is one that goes to all the games home and away. Disagree with me. I just. I disagree with you totally. Basically, what you're saying is to be the biggest UK Fan, you have to have money because we know these games aren't cheap in the travel. So that's.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm with you. I mean, I'm with you. I. I didn't like that comment by Drew, but I was.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, let me defend my. I was thinking of the people who actually are at the top level. I'm not gonna use names, but I know people who have had broken down cars trying to get together. I'm thinking of the people who don't have money that still go.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, there aren't too many people that go to every game that don't have money. I mean, I said try.

[Drew Franklin]

Let's skip my statement.

[Caller]

Third season ticket holders, I would argue.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm with you. I'm with you. I don't think you have to go to any games to be the biggest fan. As a matter of fact, I would say that the biggest fans may go to, like, one game a year.

[Caller]

Exactly. I live in Ohio now. I've been up here since 2019. I may confess, I might be the biggest UK fan in Ohio. You can ask all my friends, family, everybody. My schedule is revolved around the game. Before we go out to dinner with friends. They say, does Kentucky play tonight? I'm involved in a collie rescue. And we do a lot of zoom meetings. Before we schedule zoom meeting, the question is asked, Deanna, what night does the.

[Ryan Lemond]

Cast, I think whether you are the biggest fan, although it sounds like you are the biggest fan in Ohio. That might be a debate, but your general point, I think is a valid one, which is, yeah, and I appreciate the call. I don't think you have to go to games to be the biggest fan. I think you. If you are the biggest fan, you would like to go to games. So you might have to work yourself to try to get to games. But no, I would say the biggest fans I know of Kentucky basketball, a lot of them go almost never.

[Matt Jones]

Right.

[Ryan Lemond]

Because either they don't live here or they don't have the money for it, or they just, for whatever reason, do not.

[Matt Jones]

There's something about those fans that don't get to go to the game, that live and die by the radio call, the TV call. It's almost more emotional for them because maybe we get spoiled a little bit. We get to go anytime we want and go to the game and kind of get a little spoiled. Those people.

[Ryan Lemond]

This bar is full of those people every game day who. This is their one trip a year. So they come. They come here before the game or after the game. And it's like the one time they come that. That. I'm totally with her on that. And, you know, Drew can be snobby with the elites because that's who Drew hangs out with to Jeff Ruby's. And I understand that. And that's not. Doesn't mean they're not big fans, but, I mean, not everyone is in your social strata.

[Drew Franklin]

Let's put paychecks on the table first, then have that conversation. I did not say that at all. I said the people that are doing everything they can to get to games. I know people who've had a van breakdown on this way to South Carolina. There was a guy in here not too long ago that drove from Seattle so we could see a women's game and a men's game. And I think maybe the last football game. I don't mean the blue glasses guy that has seats. I mean people who are spending money. They don't even have to try to get there. Probably irresponsibly trying to get.

[Ryan Lemond]

There are people who will leave your. Your. Their box at Keeneland to go to. To the. When's the last time you were in.

[Drew Franklin]

A box at Keeneland?

[Ryan Lemond]

Years, probably A deck.

[Drew Franklin]

Was it in the fall?

[Ryan Lemond]

No, I wasn't there in the fall. Okay, that was you. New year, New year, same house. That's the problem. If the word remodel makes you think of stress, surprises and contractors who vanish, then call estate renovations. They do it differently. You get a real designer who helps pick everything out and makes it to where your kitchen, bath or basement is covered. Mention KSR and you're going to get half off your design renovation. Estaterenovations.com that's Estaterenos R E N O S.com KSR estaterinnovations.com estaterinos.com KSR mention KSR get half off your new design of a home. We'll take a break and be right back. KSR.

[Questlove]

Hey, what's up, y'?

[Drew Franklin]

All?

[Questlove]

This is Questlove. Recently I had the opportunity to sit down with ASAP Rocky ahead of his album release. Don't be dumb. He reflects on his journey from his Harlem roots to global icon status, discovering the hip hop origin of his name. The ledge was on the tv. Rakim had the bucket hat Kangol joint on. My pops was like, that's Rakim. That's who you nameked after.

[Ryan Lemond]

I just was like, damn, that got swag.

[Questlove]

Rocky offers a window into not only a boundary breaking artist, but as a man committed to fusing creative ideas, community, and remaining unapologetically himself. Have you ever gotten roasted for any of your outfits? For sure. Some people don't be getting the vision, but if they could roast me, they could. They can cook me, they can deep fry me, they can saute whatever they want. Nobody with my fashion sense and my taste is impeccable. I'm just like, I impress myself a lot. It's an amazing conversation, one you definitely don't want to miss. So listen to the Questlove show on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, it's nice of these people to snow blow, but I don't think they need to do it on the patio, do they?

[Matt Jones]

When we're on?

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, we don't even have any snow on the patio.

[Matt Jones]

Look, he's literally on the patio right now.

[Ryan Lemond]

I like you folks, but do we do need, do we need to do this right here, right now?

[Matt Jones]

Matt will love us doing our good job. Let's do it right now. See us doing it.

[Ryan Lemond]

8, 5, 9. Can you all, can you hear this, Shannon?

[Caller Host]

Oh, yeah, I can hear it. Yeah. Sounds like snow blowing inside of the restaurant.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, no, he's trying.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, They're. I'm sure they're nice fellas. I think they're trying to talk to him, but they don't speak English, so that's. He's. Communicate. Okay, good. Okay, thank you very much. Thank you. Jamal.

[Drew Franklin]

I think they got that spot. It's good.

[Ryan Lemond]

8 5. Yeah. The inside of the restaurant's clean. 859-280-2287. Text machine is 772 774. 5254. One person writes, what does Ryan think about the 365 buttons?

[Matt Jones]

Girl, I've not seen it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Have you not seen this? See, this is everybody. You all saw Don Lemon on your thing. I had the 365 button. Girl.

[Matt Jones]

What is this about?

[Ryan Lemond]

Somebody wrote something, I believe, on Tick Tock that was like, how do you measure? Like, what are you going to do in the new year? Like, what's your. What's going to be your new year thing?

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Ryan Lemond]

And this girl wrote, I am going to have 365 buttons. And everybody was like, okay, what? Why? What are you gonna do with 300? She said, each button represents one day of the year. And everybody's like, okay, but what. And then she got. And people kept asking her question. Then she got mad and says, it doesn't need to make sense to anyone but me. That was her thing, okay? Now that's just normal interaction. But it took off, and now people are all using her phrase, her name was Tamara, to mean it doesn't need to explain. Make sense to anyone but me to explain all of their actions. And I thought, ryan, it actually is a perfect phrase for you. It doesn't need to make sense to anyone but me, because that's kind of what you do. Saturday Night Live even did a skit about this one.

[Matt Jones]

Really?

[Ryan Lemond]

And she's accepting no interviews. So, like, the New York Times tried to interview her. All these people are trying to interview her to get. What does she mean by the365 buttons? And she's like, it represents each day of the year. Well, what are you gonna do with them? It doesn't matter what I'm gonna do.

[Matt Jones]

With them, as long as it makes sense to me.

[Ryan Lemond]

And that's you. I don't think most people understand what you do, but it doesn't have to make sense to anyone for you. So you're like, tamara, I thought you.

[Matt Jones]

Were gonna say, like, each button had, like, you know, be, be kind. Laugh today. Have, like, a little motivation.

[Ryan Lemond]

No, it has nothing. Just they said, are you gonna wear the Buttons? No. Are you gonna put the button somewhere? No.

[Matt Jones]

Why you have the buttons then?

[Ryan Lemond]

It doesn't need to make sense to anyone but her.

[Matt Jones]

But her.

[Drew Franklin]

I thought when you first. I thought she was gonna wear them.

[Matt Jones]

I did, too. Each one would be a little motivation. So if you see somebody, you look good today. That's why my button says, I have.

[Drew Franklin]

Thoughts and ideas of what she could be doing, but I don't want to invade her privacy because whatever is going on, it is very personal about my business.

[Ryan Lemond]

She does not care what you think about her.

[Drew Franklin]

But I'm trying not to think, but I'm wondering what doing.

[Ryan Lemond]

So I think that's why the Internet took hold of it is they're like, what is it? And more importantly, why won't she tell us what she's doing with the buttons? And now she refuses to say anything. She's like. Like she's gone silent because she has her buttons.

[Matt Jones]

She could have started a movement with these. Motivational.

[Ryan Lemond]

But she already has a movement, and she doesn't even want it. Yeah, that's what I like about it. It's her movement. Who's next?

[Caller Host]

Let's go to Charlene.

[Ryan Lemond]

Charlene, go ahead. Charlie.

[Caller]

Hello, Matt, Ryan and Drew and Shannon. How's everybody?

[Ryan Lemond]

Everybody's good.

[Caller]

All right, so I'm calling in because for Christmas, my sweet daughter gave me the best Christmas gift ever, which was a flight from Tampa to Lexington tomorrow to go see Kentucky play on Saturday.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, wow.

[Caller]

She and her. And she and her boyfriend are coming down from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, to meet me there. And we had this wonderful weekend of bourbon and tastings and travel plans, and now we're like, oh, I guess we're not going.

[Ryan Lemond]

No, no. Why aren't you going? You should come. You get. You'll be able to get. Yeah, but here's the thing. No, you'll be able to get here. You're coming on Thursday. You'll beat the snow. Get a hotel close to the arena. You can.

[Questlove]

The game.

[Ryan Lemond]

The game will still be packed. Now, you might not be able to, like, go to the bourbon tasting, but everything else, you could walk. You could walk to KS Bar. You can walk to restaurants. Like, you'll be fine at the Hyatt.

[Drew Franklin]

You're great.

[Caller]

We were afraid that some places would be closed.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, some places might be closed, but some places will not be closed. I can't imagine we'll be closed unless it's like, 24 inches. Like, we're going to be open on a game day. So I.

[Matt Jones]

You.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes. You still need to Come. You'll be here before the snow and by Sunday or Monday, you'll be able to fly out.

[Caller]

Have they ever canceled a game?

[Ryan Lemond]

They will not cancel. They won't cancel. So, yeah, they won't.

[Caller]

And please let me just shout out to that daughter, today is her birthday and I'm very proud of her.

[Ryan Lemond]

Thank you very much. Today is also my mother's birthday. Happy birthday to my mom. It's her birthday too. We'll take a break. Be right back.

[Matt Jones]

Ksr, TJ Smith, personal injury attorney.

[Drew Franklin]

Call tj. He'll make him pay.

[Caller Host]

Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

[Ryan Lemond]

Welcome back Tech Sports Radio. Bry Jones, the young weather man, just tweeted out. If I see another meteorologist posting AI slop, snow, total maps five days out, I might lose my mind. Now he's mad at AI. Yeah, this is just what happens with weather. Their anger screaming at the clouds. They are, they're angry because, you know, I, I could see why it happens. If you're a weather guy, you spend most of your time just being like, all right, you know, not doing much, and then all of a sudden when it comes, you're ready to fight people.

[Matt Jones]

You get such a kick out of it too. That's what I love about.

[Ryan Lemond]

I just love what. I love watching them fight. Cuz it is so clear they hate each other. I mean, Bailey and Mac, I know personally, Bailey's a really fun dude, but I don't think he likes Mech. I don't think Mech likes Bailey. There's, there's definitely. It's like heated rivalry. The weatherman, but they're cordial.

[Matt Jones]

They're Mitch and cow.

[Ryan Lemond]

Just like, just like the book. But it's two other guys.

[Drew Franklin]

It would never work. But I wish there were a setting where we could get them all on a stage and they have five minutes to forecast or debate their philosophy. And then the, then we get a winner when we see what happens.

[Ryan Lemond]

And then Weinberg is clearly the, you know, he's the ass of the group. But, like, I don't know him. He may be an awesome guy. I'm just seeing his online Persona. Then there's the outsider, the Internet dude who's now making like millions a year. And these guys with their, like, why look at that guy? Stop making all that money with your weather haul, y'.

[Drew Franklin]

All. He's killing it. See, his advantage is they got local TV on. They got to cut it.

[Ryan Lemond]

He could break in any time. He's.

[Drew Franklin]

He can be live for Eight hours. If he wants.

[Ryan Lemond]

He can do whatever he wants. And he's just living in Pikeville, so he's bored. So he's just getting online and being like, look, there's a. There's a hurricane, there's a snow, you.

[Drew Franklin]

Know, and they're having to be like, up back to traders.

[Ryan Lemond]

He takes the view. He takes the view that I told you about the draft, which is, why should I do my own research? Let's just let them do it for me, and then I'll do. That's what he's like, y' all tell me the snow. I'll just tell them and I'll be.

[Drew Franklin]

Live on YouTube while you all have commercials.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's exactly right. You all have to show Chris Russo screaming into the tv. I'll just talk about the weather. It's how it works. Two major upsets in high school basketball night. Okay. Saint X, number one in the state, hadn't lost yet. They lose to North Oldham. North Aldum came into the game 8, 9, and they beat Saint X. So a major upset. But what if I told you that a young man named Pierre Rondo scored 14 points? Pierre Rondo is Ran Rondo's eighth grade son who lit up the number one team in the state for 14 points.

[Matt Jones]

He's an eighth grader and he is legit. He's a guy that's gonna be a superstar. Don't know if they'll send him to ote. He may not finish at North Oldham with OT Overtime Elite.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's where he's going to high school.

[Matt Jones]

No, I'm saying I don't know if he'll end up going to a school.

[Ryan Lemond]

Clearly, you think he will or you don't just bring up overtime.

[Matt Jones]

Even Rajan went and played at Oak Hill his last two years from a little Eastern.

[Ryan Lemond]

But you don't just pick Drew Overtime Elite. Unless you think he's going overtime.

[Drew Franklin]

He's only in eighth grade. You're already trying to ship him off.

[Matt Jones]

He's a superstar. The kid is legit.

[Ryan Lemond]

Good, I guess. 18. He's a. He's in eighth grade.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm not trying to say we should go all Michael Avery, Billy Gillespie here, but let's. Let's get an offer out that way. He's going to be one of the top players in that class. First of all, you go ahead and have that conversation and get it over with.

[Ryan Lemond]

You have to have Ran Rondo's kid here.

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Ryan Lemond]

Right. You have to. I don't even care if he ends up being One of the top players. He's ran randos kid. His name's Pierre. We've never had a basketball player named Pierre.

[Drew Franklin]

Great name.

[Ryan Lemond]

So Pierre Rondo, North Oldham is. You must. Are you scooping that he's going to overtime Elite?

[Matt Jones]

You misunderstand what I was saying. So he'll go to a place like overtime Elite.

[Drew Franklin]

How do you know?

[Ryan Lemond]

But Shannon, I feel like that's very specific place to pick. Yeah, he was, you know, his dad was Oak Hill. He could have said Oak Hill.

[Caller Host]

He was dropping that in there.

[Ryan Lemond]

He was dropping that in there.

[Matt Jones]

That's just where all the good players seem to go these days.

[Ryan Lemond]

Name another one.

[Matt Jones]

Jasper Johnson.

[Ryan Lemond]

Who else?

[Matt Jones]

The dude that plays for Alabama. What's his name?

[Drew Franklin]

Phylon.

[Matt Jones]

Phylon.

[Drew Franklin]

I don't think he went there though.

[Matt Jones]

One of those dudes in Alabama went to overt overtime Link. They were teammates.

[Drew Franklin]

That was at Link Academy.

[Ryan Lemond]

Pierre Rondo's going to overtime elite.

[Caller Host]

That's what I'm hearing. I mean, I don't know.

[Ryan Lemond]

He knows and he's. And he realizes he slipped up and said it. He's turning red right now. He's turning red because he knows. Nobody knows. Eighth graders in Kentucky, like, okay, well don't say, yeah, basketball, 8th graders in.

[Caller Host]

Kentucky, like, Ryan scoop limit is back though.

[Ryan Lemond]

I think, I think that's exactly what happened. One person writes, Matt, now that Bob at Jamestown was with Mario. Are you believing more in ghost? No, I'm with Mario. Less. Less. After I saw the guy and watch Mario interview him. And then the people, I mean, it's, it's, it's older people trying to make some sense of life. Can't explain what's happening. So it's got to be ghost.

[Caller Host]

Did you hear what the guy said to Mario?

[Ryan Lemond]

Like, what did he say?

[Caller Host]

He said that an alien put a booger in his son's nose.

[Ryan Lemond]

He said an alien put a booger in his son's nose? Yes.

[Caller Host]

You didn't see that video?

[Ryan Lemond]

I didn't watch it all the way through. That needs to be just for the record, Mario, in your editing, you need to just have a five second clip.

[Questlove]

Yes.

[Ryan Lemond]

That says alien booger in my nose. That's all you need to say. That will go viral. You need to let people know what he's saying. You got to do that because alien. He said an alien put a booger in his son's nose.

[Drew Franklin]

10 second video. Watch the, watch the impressions go up.

[Ryan Lemond]

And I'm supposed to believe in ghosts.

[Drew Franklin]

This guy's hurting, hurting the alien he's like Don Lemon. He needs to calm down. When I saw Paul and Mario when they got back, and they were like, that dude made me believe less. I knew it didn't go the way it should have, but Bob's outfit was still.

[Matt Jones]

The show had no doubt about it. He looked good.

[Ryan Lemond]

He did. Did. Did you enjoy being with him? Here, come on. The mic here for just one second. Mario, tell me what. And be honest. Tell me what? Hanging out with Bob is like.

[Matt Jones]

He's.

[Mario]

He's a little bit odd, but, you know, he's. He's a cool dude. He was showing me, like, pictures of his new car that he got.

[Matt Jones]

He got.

[Ryan Lemond]

What kind of car does.

[Mario]

He's like a Corve.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay.

[Mario]

It was all red, and he was like, just show me. It was kind of random how he just, like, brought it up, but I was like.

[Ryan Lemond]

How would you describe the ghost crowd? A lot. Older folks. Were there any other black people?

[Mario]

No, there's no. There's no black people.

[Ryan Lemond]

All white people.

[Mario]

All white people.

[Ryan Lemond]

All white people. How many people?

[Mario]

I would say about 50 or 60 people. It was packed in there. The church was. It was a lot of people in there.

[Ryan Lemond]

It was in a church.

[Drew Franklin]

It was in a church.

[Mario]

It was kind of like.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's kind of odd, though, that churches would have a ghost thing.

[Caller Host]

Yeah.

[Mario]

I was kind of nervous walking in, but I sat in the front row, so I was like. I was front and center.

[Ryan Lemond]

Were people. I would. Were people trying to talk to you, like, what are you doing here, young man?

[Mario]

No, not really. They didn't really care about me. They were more focused on the aliens and everything.

[Ryan Lemond]

Did he sell a lot of books?

[Matt Jones]

He did.

[Mario]

He had a long line of books. Long line for the. For people, like, just buying books.

[Ryan Lemond]

Did you think while you watched it that it was a scam? I didn't. No. I didn't think it was a scam. These people really believe it, though.

[Mario]

That's the crazy.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, but, I mean, people believe in scams. Yeah. Yeah. Look at Ryan Lemon's life.

[Mario]

Yeah. Ryan Lemon's a good example.

[Ryan Lemond]

People can. It can be a scam, and people still believe in it.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Mario]

I won't buy the book.

[Ryan Lemond]

You weren't buying the book?

[Questlove]

No.

[Ryan Lemond]

What was the. What was the weirdest thing someone said?

[Mario]

Well, the alien. The. The alien and the booger thing, like, that was kind of weird.

[Ryan Lemond]

The.

[Mario]

The guy who's running the whole thing, he said, like. He gave me a story, and he said that the alien planted a booger in this kid's nose. And he said that they do that normally. Like aliens just.

[Ryan Lemond]

They do that? No, it's just what. That's just what they do.

[Caller Host]

A tracking device.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's. It's, it's a track. He said it was a tracker.

[Mario]

He said it was a tracking device.

[Ryan Lemond]

And that's what they do. So that, like, all the time.

[Mario]

It's just normal.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's just normal. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Now.

[Questlove]

What was.

[Ryan Lemond]

Did, did you find that Bob. Did he talk a lot?

[Mario]

He was quiet at first. And then, you know, once he warmed up to me a little bit, he started talking to me a lot more. Showed me his car. And we didn't say showed you his car.

[Ryan Lemond]

Like a picture of it.

[Mario]

Yeah, his new car.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay.

[Mario]

His new car is like a red Corvette. It was really nice. I was like, bob, you should take. You take me out in it whenever.

[Ryan Lemond]

You get a chance. You all should go looking for ladies. You and Bob in the Corvette. Absolutely not. Well, I'm glad you went. That was very nice.

[Mario]

Yeah, it was fun.

[Ryan Lemond]

And I appreciate you doing that. Who's next?

[Drew Franklin]

Next.

[Caller Host]

Let's go to Peggy.

[Ryan Lemond]

Peggy, go ahead. Peggy.

[Caller]

Hey, good morning, guys. And happy birthday to you. Your mom.

[Ryan Lemond]

Thank you.

[Caller]

This thing about being the best fan is not because you're there.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Those of us who cannot afford tickets, we are listening to every game through good and bad. And those of us who collect all kinds of memorabilia because that's what we can afford. And those of us who have, like me, I have prints all over my house. I have all kinds of bottles that I've collected. I have.

[Ryan Lemond]

Peggy, I, I believe you. The problem is Drew here.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. Peggy, I don't think you're the biggest fan.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, Drew's being kind of harsh here, don't you think?

[Drew Franklin]

I'm just let. We got a collection. We got collectibles. That's good. What else we got?

[Caller]

I mean, I. My house is totally decorated. Year round.

[Ryan Lemond]

Is Drew's.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm not saying I'm the biggest fan. I've not. I've not claimed that.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay. So, Peggy, I. I actually think you are at least one of the four biggest fans. And I'm sorry about Drew. I really fan than me.

[Drew Franklin]

Peggy, I'll admit that I really.

[Ryan Lemond]

I am sorry about Drew because I, I, we. I. I've been taken up for you. But you know, sometimes you can't convince people of things, right?

[Caller]

And I have a UK tree right now.

[Ryan Lemond]

UK tree.

[Matt Jones]

There we go. I vote for Peggy.

[Ryan Lemond]

I vote for Peggy Clement.

[Drew Franklin]

Is this the Biggest fan ever.

[Ryan Lemond]

She's in the conversation. I appreciate the call, Peggy. We should maybe during the off season do who's the biggest UK fan. We need to figure out, Shannon, what the criteria is because I do think that's. Or is it just in the eye of the beholder?

[Caller Host]

I can tell you who it's not. It's not Will Stein. So it's going to be. Yeah, it's got to be somebody else.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. You didn't want to say it was Will, stop. But I mean, what makes it. Is it like doing. Is it what you put in your house? How much doing things to your body.

[Caller Host]

Spend in your life, like your daily life? How much of that is dedicated to like Kentucky football or basketball?

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean that's a good question. But like that's a little weird because then it would be, I mean, probably people like me and Drew is probably at that point.

[Drew Franklin]

99.

[Caller Host]

Well, no, if people spend two hours like listening to it, then they're. They're grouped into that too.

[Ryan Lemond]

No, I would say. Okay, let me put it like that. I would say for you to be the biggest UK fan. I. Yes. Listening to this show is a prerequisite. Or at least if you don't like, if you don't like us, then you have to listen to some show. Listening to some daily UK show I think is part of it. You have to watch every game. Every game. And if you miss it for whatever reason, you have to go back and watch it or follow it on your phone while you're out doing the thing that you had to do. Right. You have to, you have to like follow the roster. You know, you may not know all the players, but you follow the roster. Football, it's hard to know all the players, but certainly basketball, right? You should know every player. What else does that have to tree?

[Drew Franklin]

Obviously gotta have a UK tree.

[Matt Jones]

I think you get. Listen to the pregame show, but definitely the postgame show after a game.

[Ryan Lemond]

Which one?

[Matt Jones]

Both. Football.

[Ryan Lemond]

Basketball, but like ours or jmis?

[Matt Jones]

Ours.

[Ryan Lemond]

Ours. Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

Pretty much if there's a UK something on you should be tuning in. I kind of whatever that is.

[Ryan Lemond]

I, I think attendance is. You try to go to games when you can. And then I think you need something that's a centerpiece of your life that says you are a UK fan. It could be a tree, it could be something in your house, it could be your car, it could be a tattoo on your arm, if that's what you want. But you need something that sort of says in a major way, I am a Kentucky fan.

[Drew Franklin]

I was going to say minimum one UK tattoo. Gave up your body.

[Ryan Lemond]

Some people don't get tattoos at all.

[Drew Franklin]

Not the biggest fan then. I'm sorry.

[Ryan Lemond]

Also extra points if you named your, your, your child after a UK person.

[Drew Franklin]

That's true.

[Matt Jones]

Good.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes. Right. You know, if your name is Kalina Azabuki Ray from Harlan county, then Glenn.

[Drew Franklin]

Ozabuki Ray, I would net, I would hand it to that person. If they had a tree, I would give it to that person. Yeah.

One person says you, you don't remember not watching the games like you're, you've been there since childhood to where every time you. I think that's true. Although there are people that join later in life, I don't want to like take them out. But I do think like you have it from as a little kid, it makes it more part of you.

[Drew Franklin]

Especially here at Kentucky. It's a generational thing. It's passed to us. But we know plenty of people who didn't grow up in a household that loved it and they found it along the way and they become big fans too. But most of us a grandparent or you know, it's, it's been handed down since birth. We've been a Kentucky fan.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. One person says, Matt, my dog's name is Ozabuki. So pets, pets name for UK is good, but it's still a pet. When you do child, one person writes, my cat's name is Calipari.

[Drew Franklin]

It's good pun.

[Matt Jones]

Remember the guy that named his daughter, his last name was Perry. Named her Cali. Cali Perry here in Kentucky.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, really?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. He called in the show. So I just named my daughter Callie. My last name is Perry.

[Ryan Lemond]

You think you so if you name your daughter that, then you don't want him to leave. True. Because if you get tired of his coaching.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. See, I'm Dealing with this is I have to name a girl, and I keep thinking this child will have to go to job interviews and introduce themselves, and I. I have that responsibility right now.

[Ryan Lemond]

What do you so like when you.

[Drew Franklin]

Name your daughter Cali Perry, she has to.

[Ryan Lemond]

Are you going to announce the name before you get before the birth?

[Drew Franklin]

Probably. I think we're going to wait and look at her and be like, you're a blank.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay, so you're gonna, like, see what.

[Drew Franklin]

You'Re not gonna call her. Wow, that's harsh for censoring a word, but I'll take a. I'll take a handful of names in there and just be like, you look like a.

[Ryan Lemond]

So you have like, four or five possibilities.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, you look like a Ray John or you look like a Kalina.

[Ryan Lemond]

So. But. So you are going to agree on the pre. Names? Probably. Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

We already have it. You know, it's a running list. There's actually an app. It's like Tinder, but Abby's on one end and I'm on the other, and the name pops up, and we swipe left or right, and it tells me when me and Abby matched on a name. It's actually genius. That way we don't have to just sit at home and go over a list all night. I can just pull up my phone right now and be like, nope, don't like that one. Don't like that one. And when I swipe right, it'll be like, Abby also swiped right on that name.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, it's pretty genius. That is a. That is kind of a genius app.

[Drew Franklin]

See, look, do I want Vanessa? No.

[Ryan Lemond]

Liliana.

[Drew Franklin]

No. You just keep going through.

[Ryan Lemond]

Let's find one you want. Let's go through. Hang on.

[Matt Jones]

Lillian.

[Ryan Lemond]

No. So me, I got to read them. Hannah, yes or no?

[Drew Franklin]

No offense to. Hannah's out there. I'm going to go.

[Ryan Lemond]

Kennedy.

[Drew Franklin]

You know, Franklin, they're. They're geniuses on. On health, but maybe not this one.

[Ryan Lemond]

No. Kennedy. All right, how about Emerson?

[Drew Franklin]

See, I'm just gonna keep swiping press.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, I need to read them. Presley.

[Drew Franklin]

I don't want people listening to be offended that I didn't want.

[Ryan Lemond]

I like it. It's good for you to be offended. Journey.

[Drew Franklin]

It's gonna be a no for me. Dog.

[Ryan Lemond]

Rachel.

[Drew Franklin]

Rachel's right over there. Hello, Rachel. I love your name. I'm gonna go. No, there.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, we know lots of Rachel.

[Drew Franklin]

See, I just sit here and swipe. Okay, yes.

[Ryan Lemond]

Though I haven't seen a yes from you yet. Jennifer Ryan's got a Jennifer Sky. Blair. Juniper. Isla Blakely. Eleanor.

[Drew Franklin]

I'll go yes on Eleanor.

[Ryan Lemond]

Eleanor.

[Drew Franklin]

See? But I didn't match. No match.

[Ryan Lemond]

So she maybe hasn't gotten to it yet.

[Drew Franklin]

All right, well, that's back to Kalina.

[Ryan Lemond]

Very interesting idea though. It is. What's the name of the app?

[Drew Franklin]

Kinder. Instead of Tinder.

[Ryan Lemond]

It is brilliant. It's like Tinder, but free.

[Drew Franklin]

Free promotion there. Kinder or Kinder. I don't know how you pronounce it. Probably Kinder.

[Ryan Lemond]

Kinder. Interesting. All right, let's do draft life. Kentucky and Texas pregame show starts at 4:30 here at KS Bar. We know that Drew may name his child Eleanor, but we do want to know from DraftKings. Bet five, win $300. Cats are a five and a half point favorite. Who you got?

[Drew Franklin]

Actually six and a half. Now it's climbing. I think Kentucky wins. But if I'm betting on the DraftKings app, I would take Texas at six and a half.

[Ryan Lemond]

Six and a half. I would take Texas too. I don't know how you can. I mean, I think we win, but I think six and a half's a lot of points.

[Matt Jones]

I'm saying with you guys. Yeah, I think Kentucky. It's gonna be ugly. It could be another rock fight. But they. They've got to hit shots. They can't try to. They gotta try to outscore this team. Are gonna be in trouble.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. So six and a half. Shannon, I think you. I go with Texas on the six and a half.

[Caller Host]

You guys. Kentucky wins the game, but I think six and a half. I would take Texas.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right, well, there you go. Our pregame show starts at 4:30.

[Matt Jones]

4:30.

[Ryan Lemond]

I feel like I need to find a woman just to do the app with me.

[Drew Franklin]

It's. It's addictive.

[Ryan Lemond]

That would be a fun app.

[Drew Franklin]

Just keep swiping over and over.

[Ryan Lemond]

Just. Could you and I find a kid.

[Caller Host]

Together, get on Tinder and then go to Kinder.

[Ryan Lemond]

There you go. I'm not trying to date you. Can we pick kids names? I'll see you at the free game. Four thirties ksr.
