Episode Overview

This episode opens with the KSR crew snowed in across Kentucky following a major winter storm. Matt Jones, Ryan Hall, and Shannon broadcast remotely, sharing their experiences of being stuck at home. The major focus is the fallout of the snowstorm, the accuracy (or lack thereof) of local meteorologist predictions via the "Meteorologist Madness" charity contest, and reactions to Kentucky's recent basketball win against Ole Miss, including the fan booing of former Kentucky high school star Travis Perry. The episode features a lively interview with “Meteorologist Madness” winner TG Shuck and lighthearted debates about shoveling sidewalks and responsibility during severe winter weather.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Snowstorm Hits Kentucky: Experiences and Fallout

• Widespread shut down: Kentucky, especially Louisville and Lexington, are largely snowed in. Although snow totals didn't reach the original forecasts (>10 inches), significant accumulation (around 6" in Louisville, 4" in Lexington) closed businesses and schools.
• Personal effects:
  • Ryan Hall laments isolation:

    "I've not had face to face communication with anybody in like, now almost 24 hours. ... I'm going crazy." (04:08)

  • Matt and Shannon enjoy peaceful, snow-blanketed city walks on empty streets.

    "I actually find it oddly beautiful to be somewhere that's normally a lot of people and it's completely empty and silent, Shannon. It's one of my favorite things to do." (11:01)

• Weather impact dialogue:
  • Cities aren't fully operational yet due to lingering ice, and some neighborhoods and schools remain closed.

---

2. Meteorologist Madness: Charity Storm Prediction Contest

• Premise: Local meteorologists, plus a few national figures, submit their snow predictions for Louisville and Lexington, with charity money going to the closest.
• Results:
  • None of the meteorologists were close:

    "Every single person except Jim Cantore and Ryan Hall, y' all had at least 10 inches in both cities. So clearly they all thought that. And it ends up not happening." (06:32)

  • TG Shuck (WTVQ) wins, donating $10,000 to the Lexington Humane Society; Ryan Hall, y’all (YouTuber) places second, donating $5,000 to Rubicon USA (veterans’ org).

    "TG Shuck comes within 0.1 point. He beats Ryan Hall, y', all, by 0.1 point, saving the local meteorologist. Otherwise it would have been the two national guys." (06:47)

• Met Contest Analysis:
  • There's a running joke about meteorologists always forecasting ‘high’ to be cautious.
  • Ryan Hall:

    "You just can't predict Mother Nature. ... They can't tell you what it's going to do this time tomorrow. They just, you just can't." (08:34)

  • Debate on whether meteorology has gotten more accurate or not, with hosts suggesting little progress.

---

3. Interview: TG Shuck, “Meteorologist Madness” Winner (44:24–50:48)

• Shuck explains why all predictions were off:
  • The storm's “warm nose”—unexpected warm air—shifted snowfall north at the last minute, completely changing expected totals after predictions were locked.
  • Emphasizes how meteorological models are “guidance, not gospel.”

    "Some of them were still kicking out 14, 15, 16 inches of snow even as late as Friday afternoon and Friday evening." (46:39)

• On winning and charity:
  • Shuck expresses pride that his victory benefits an organization close to his heart—the Lexington Humane Society, which he previously served as a board member.

    "I've always had a soft spot for animals and have animals myself, of course. And being a part of that was really something special." (49:14)

• Outlook:
  • Warns of an extended cold snap, wind chills “possibly 20 below.”

    "Wind chills. Tomorrow morning, 10, 15, possibly 20 below. We'll below zero tonight and we're going to be around zero for the morning low because of this ice and snow pack every morning all the way into the weekend." (50:23)

---

4. Community Resilience & Humor: Sidewalk-Shoveling Debate

• City ordinance: Lexington now requires homeowners to shovel sidewalks after 4 inches of snow, or risk fines.
  • Ryan Hall refuses:

    "They can kiss my butt. I'm not getting out there and doing it. I am not doing it." (35:10)

  • Matt notes this is now law; a debate follows between hosts and listeners about responsibility, enforcement, and whether it's safer not to shovel.
• Listener call-in (Jonathan):
  • Argues it's safer to walk on snow than on slick, shoveled sidewalks.

    "You've got actually more of a chance of slipping and busting your ear in on that thing you do just walking on packed in snow." (36:44)

• First responder writes in:
  • Cautions Hall that failing to clear sidewalks could complicate emergency responses. Hall remains unrepentant.

    "Wear your snow boots. Be careful when you're walking up my ice covered driveway." (40:16)

---

5. Kentucky Basketball vs. Ole Miss: Ugly Win and Travis Perry Booing

• In-game analysis:
  • Both hosts and listeners agree the win was “ugly,” but necessary given upcoming schedules.

    "As bad a basketball game as I've ever seen. Kentucky and Ole Miss." (24:02)

  • Standout: Away scores 23 in the second half.
• Controversial booing:
  • Debate over UK fans booing Travis Perry, Kentucky’s all-time high school scorer now playing for Ole Miss.
  • Ryan Hall (against):

    "I, I'm kind of ashamed and embarrassed of our fan base a little bit. ... Every time he touched it during the game, that kind of made my stomach turn a little bit, to be honest." (26:10)

  • Shannon (for):

    "Look, he chose to leave. He wanted to go to Ole Miss. And when he comes back, he should expect to get booed." (26:45)

  • Matt muses booing may have affected Perry's play (scoreless, airballed opening shot).

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

On the futility of weather prediction:

“You just can't predict Mother Nature. ... It's a ridiculous notion. They can tell you what you're doing right now. They can't tell you what it's going to do this time tomorrow.”
— Ryan Hall (08:34)

On personal reactions to snowed-in days:

“I've not had face to face communication with anybody in like, now almost 24 hours. ... I'm going crazy.”
— Ryan Hall (04:08)

Critique of ‘tougher times’ nostalgia:

“I hate when people say things like that. Shit, 40 years ago ... the streets would have been worse. There was less four wheel drive cars. Are you kidding me?”
— Matt Jones (21:09)

On sidewalk-shoveling enforcement:

“They can kiss my butt. I'm not getting out there and doing it. I am not doing it.”
— Ryan Hall (35:10)

[Shannon]

This is Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome, everyone. It is Kentucky Sports radio. Monday the 26th on a snowed in day all across Kentucky. I am Matt Jones. You can give a shout on Clark's puppet Shop phone line 859-280-2287. A Vision Auto Glass text machine is 772-774-5254. In this edition sponsored by the TJ Smith Law Office, if you call, TJ will make them pay. All across Kentucky, many of you are stuck in your house. Some of you are not. But in Louisville, I think most people are. In Lexington, I think most people are. And in the surrounding area. And we didn't get as much snow as they said, but we did get a lot of it and enough to shut the city down. Ryan is at his house. Shannon already heard something falling in the background before we even start. But, Ryan, how was your weekend alone?

[Ryan Hall]

I hated it.

[Matt Jones]

Turn him down. Good night. Move the. Move your stuff down. All right, go ahead.

[Ryan Hall]

I hated it. I haven't.

[Shannon]

You're still really loud.

[Matt Jones]

You're. You got to turn down.

[Ryan Hall]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know if you've ever used that equipment.

[Ryan Hall]

That'S on normal setting.

[Shannon]

What you're saying is you hated it.

[Matt Jones]

All right, go ahead now.

[Ryan Hall]

I hated it. I. I've not had face to face communication with anybody in like, now almost 24 hours. I hate it. I'm going crazy.

[Matt Jones]

I'm bored out of my 24 hours. It started 48F.

[Ryan Hall]

48 hours? Yeah. Since Saturday after the Kentucky game, I've not seen a per. A human being.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, Shannon, am I the only one that thinks he's still, like, he's a little loud?

[Shannon]

Like. Yeah, he's still screaming.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Maybe move the microphone back from your mouth or something, but.

[Shannon]

All right, how's that radio 101.

[Ryan Hall]

I know.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, we're teaching Ryan how to turn on his equipment right from the start. Okay, so you've been by yourself. Let's just talk about what's happened here with snow. All right, so we got, I think Louisville. Here in Louisville. Shannon, see, listen, those dogs. Absolute disaster from moment one. And absolute disasters. His dogs are going nuts in the background. I don't know if people can hear that.

[Shannon]

I could hear them, but.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon, six inches in Louisville, Right. Looks like about four. In Lexington, we did meteorologist Madness. And unfortunately, Shannon, it doesn't look like anyone was close.

[Shannon]

Nobody was close. I mean, Jim Cantori sort of close, but he doesn't even count because he was just turned it in late. Yeah, he did. He turned in his homework too late. But I think this goes to show you what I've thought a long time is that none of these guys really know what.

[Matt Jones]

I'm not going to do that to him.

[Shannon]

I think that's.

[Matt Jones]

I'm not. I think that's rude. Shannon, all these people. Vol. No, I'm being serious. All these people volunteered their time to do this. And I think you still say it is clearly the case that these folks are. It's not as scientific as we think. Like, I mean, every single person except Jim Cantore and Ryan Hall, y' all had at least 10 inches in both cities. So clearly they all thought that. And it ends up not happening. I'm gonna. But I'm gonna celebrate. Who did win. Our winner is TG Shuck from wtvq. TG Shuck. He had the lowest total for Lexington and he had the. Excuse me. He had the lowest total for Louisville and one of the lowest totals for Lexington. He comes within 0.1 point. He beats Ryan Hall, y', all, by 0.1 point, saving the local meteorologist. Otherwise it would have been the two national guys. Ryan, that ended up coming. One, two. T.G. thundershuck comes in. He wins. He will win $10,000 for. He picked the Lexington Humane Society as his. As his charity. That's 10,000 comes from Commonwealth causes, Servpro and me. And then we had White, Greer Maggard, the dentist office, come in at the last minute, offer 5,000 per second. And Ryan Hall, y' all picked Rubicon USA, an organization I wasn't familiar with, but works with veterans. That's his second place. So he'll get 5,000. And Lexington Humane Society gets $10,000. Thanks, Ryan. To T.G. shook.

[Ryan Hall]

All the guys had a great attitude about it. You know, they knew it was for fun. They knew it was for great cause. TG is one of like just two of our contestants, has actually worked in both markets. Maybe that played his.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, you think that was a hell.

[iHeart Radio Announcer]

Ooh.

[Matt Jones]

Interesting. You think by working in both markets, he had sort of. There was no full road game for him?

[Ryan Hall]

Yeah, I think him and Justin Logan are the only two that have worked actually in both markets. And they were both kind of low on their predictions. So maybe, maybe that played into it a little bit.

[Matt Jones]

These guys, you Know they're what? There are allegations out there, Shannon, that there are sometimes meteorologists can be snow hoes. Yes, right. There's allegations. Does this, this does seem to suggest that we, that they do enjoy picking high totals. Do you agree with that?

[Shannon]

Yes. And I wonder if in the future some of these meteorologists are going to reel it back a little bit and come back to reality and maybe not project such high totals because of what happened here.

[Matt Jones]

Better to project high and it go low than the other way, right? I mean, cause you could. If you, if people are not ready and then they get stuck, isn't that worse?

[Shannon]

I guess it is. But look, I mean like at the end of the show on Friday, we all gave our snow total predictions. I don't even have Doppler radar and I got closer than some of these guys did.

[Matt Jones]

But that doesn't mean anything. It's a one time guess. Now, Ryan, you have four decades been on the thing that you can't predict, Mother Nature. I feel like you probably think this was a vindication for you.

[Ryan Hall]

I do. You know, the, the good thing was they saw it coming, they warned us we were going, the snowstorm was coming. But you just can't predict Mother Nature. You had no idea how much he was going to dump on you. It's a ridiculous notion. They can tell you what you're doing right now. They can't tell you what it's going to do this time tomorrow. They just, you just can't.

[Matt Jones]

That. But you, you worked in a business.

[Ryan Hall]

I did that.

[Matt Jones]

This is a key part of the economics of that business succeeding. Local TV news is weather. Do you not worry that like you're undercutting the very foundation of the business you came up in?

[Ryan Hall]

More people tune in to local news because of weather. More than anything, weather drives people to your local newscast. You can't deny that.

[Matt Jones]

And, and they're saying it's wrong and that they, they don't know what they're doing.

[Ryan Hall]

Well, like I said, they, they saw it coming. They, they warned us it was coming. I mean, they all gave us a heads up, hey, there's a chance for a lot of snow coming. And I, you know, that's good. We need to know that when a, when a hurricane's coming in, hey, there's a chance this hurricane can come and hit Florida, but then it will make a right hand turn and go a different direction.

[Matt Jones]

It is odd to me, Shannon, that we don't, it feels like everything in life, the science gets more and more science and, but I'M not sure that's true about the weather. It feels like the more we learn, the. We still are just as close as we were before, right?

[Ryan Hall]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

You would think that now you would be able to get it down to like the tenth of an inch, like we were asking. You could pinpoint it down, but you can't.

[Ryan Hall]

You can't.

[Shannon]

You can't. And I think what happened is it just all shifted up north and Indiana.

[Matt Jones]

It went north and. But even a lot of those places didn't get quite as much. I know in New York City, they were expecting a foot and they got like six inches. Now, having said that, we got six inches here in Louisville.

[Shannon]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

And it makes me wonder what a foot would look like, Shannon, because the town is shut down over six inch.

[Shannon]

Oh, yeah. If we got as much as they were projecting, forget about it. Like, nobody would be. I probably wouldn't be here at work right now.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Because six inches yesterday, I did one of my favorite things to do, which is when you have a big snow like this, Shannon. I like to go out and walk up and down Bardstown Road, you know, a very busy road because you can walk in the middle of the street and no one's there.

[Ryan Hall]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

And it's. I find it amazingly peaceful. Okay. To be on a major street and no one be there. And I actually find it. I don't know if this seems weird to you all. I actually find it oddly beautiful to be somewhere that's normally a lot of people and it's completely empty and silent, Shannon. It's one of my favorite things to do, and I got to do that yesterday afternoon.

[Shannon]

Yep. I took a little walk last night downtown. Stayed overnight at one of the hotels here, but I took a walk down to Country Boy Brewing. And it was cool to just see, you know, all the snow. And like you said, not many people out. Maybe a couple of people here or there. But it was. It was really nice.

[Matt Jones]

Completely empty. Every business on Bardstown Road, every single one, was closed except the subway. The woman. So subway was open. So I thought, I'll go into Subway.

[Ryan Hall]

Attaboy.

[Matt Jones]

Because it's open and I'll get a sub. And I asked the woman, it was probably two o', clock, and I asked the woman, when did you open? Or how long. How many people been here? And she goes, you're number three. And she was there, and I got a sub. And I gave her a big tip. And I sat there. I sat there for a long time. No one else came in, Ryan. But I enjoy. I Haven't eaten at Subway in a long time, I'm gonna admit. But it was actually the chicken teriyaki sub was pretty good. Chicken sweet onion chicken teriyaki.

[Ryan Hall]

I know you'd eventually come around to the subway train.

[Matt Jones]

Well, when nothing else is open, Shannon, it's a great place.

[Shannon]

Hey, former winner of the KSR food brunch, right?

[Matt Jones]

Still, still one of the.

[Shannon]

Thanks to Ryan and I voting.

[Matt Jones]

That was still one of the worst culinary. Culinary predictions that have ever happened. There was.

[Shannon]

There was a time where I ate there like twice a week. Same for years because it was right down from the radio station at our old location. But I haven't eaten there in years now, so.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so where. What is it now? Do you think this city will open today? I feel like. I feel like, you know, there are cars now on the street that I'm on. People are starting to clean off their cars. Do you think the city turns to normal? They say that is going to be like down to negative degrees tonight. Ryan, what are your thoughts on that?

[Ryan Hall]

Well, at least, you know, they couldn't catch up cleaning the roads because it just kept snowing. They clean it off. Then they get some more snow. Now they got the ice on top of it. That's what's kind of scary. Like my neighborhood has not been touched at all because there's nobody getting out because it's just nothing but a sheet of ice. So the main thoroughfare is. I watched the news last night. Looks like they like on the interstate, like one lane on the interstate was clear. But I don't know about the other main streets.

[Matt Jones]

Are people. You're downtown. Are people out right now, Shannon?

[Shannon]

Not many this morning. I mean, I walked over, you know, it was around 6:30 this morning. So I haven't been out since then. But there were very few people out. The problem is like it's not going to get above freezing until next week at some point. So all this ice and stuff is just going to stay there.

[Ryan Hall]

Just stay there.

[Shannon]

And schools are already closed in Jefferson county for tomorrow.

[Matt Jones]

They're already closed tomorrow as well.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Yep. Well, there you go. Well, we, we, we are here. And by here I mean my house. We will be, you know, keeping you up through the day and we'll talk about the game, etc. I want to go back for a second though, to our weatherman thing. TG Shuck winning. Ryan, let's talk. People may not know who this is. He was in Lexington for a long time, am I right? And then did he leave? Did he retire. What happened?

[Ryan Hall]

Yeah, he grew up in Lexington, was a kicker at Lafayette High School, kicked at Georgetown College, held the Georgetown College scoring record for years and years and years as a kicker. Was a meteorologist at wkyt, went to. Was in Louisville for a long time, came back to WTVQ here in Lexington.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so he is on wtvq. This is almost Shannon, like a Kurt Signetti situation in Indiana. All right, WTVQ is underfunded, sort of like Indiana football. Right. Often forgotten, considered the third TV station far behind wkyt. And WLX rarely gets the respect it deserves and is often an afterthought when talking about Lexington news, sports and weather. And TG Shuck comes back, goes to this, this underdeveloped program and takes them to the national championship. And it shows in the new age of weather. Anyone like Kirk Signetti, Shannon, anyone can do it. And TG Shuck has been able to do it.

[Shannon]

Today, his odds were not good. I mean, everybody was counting him out. He was.

[Matt Jones]

He's one of the.

[Shannon]

One of the biggest underdogs.

[Matt Jones]

One of the biggest underdogs on the board.

[Shannon]

Yep. And somehow comes from behind and is able to win this thing. And $10,000 going to charity is pretty awesome for him.

[Matt Jones]

To the Lexington Humane Society. Ryan, you are a big Lexington Humane Society person. Are you happy they got the money?

[Ryan Hall]

Super happy for. But I think I was talking to TG last night. He used to be on their board, and so this is very near and dear to his heart, the Lexington Humane Society. So, you know, he's. He and I used to do the Sunday morning sports talk radio show on WLAP for like three years together. He and I did it every Sunday morning.

[Matt Jones]

You and Shuck?

[Ryan Hall]

Yep, me and TG Shuck.

[Matt Jones]

Wow.

[Ryan Hall]

How about that? Sure.

[Shannon]

You taught him everything he knows.

[Matt Jones]

What did you talk to him about?

[Ryan Hall]

Well, he was UK football, you know, on Sunday morning after a UK football game, you get to play his Monday morning quarterback on Sunday morning. So we used to get a ton of calls on that show. It was really popular.

[Matt Jones]

Are you going to do anything about those dogs? Are you just going to let them yap? Yeah.

[Ryan Hall]

During the commercial break.

[Shannon]

They must have take them to the Lexington Humane Society. Maybe that's where they came from.

[Matt Jones]

Have you noticed over the years, he always says that the dogs happen to get out the moment the show starts.

[Shannon]

How does that work?

[Matt Jones]

Where do you. What do you put them in? Like, how do they always get out?

[Ryan Hall]

I'm upstairs and they're downstairs and I got A fence gate blocking off the stairs. And they're so smart, they can figure out how to get around that gate.

[Matt Jones]

Have you thought about getting a better gate?

[Ryan Hall]

I'm gonna have to, or I'll just throw them outside. But they're like, they're, they're all throw them outside.

[Matt Jones]

Well, there's a good ad for the Lex that you made society.

[Shannon]

Throw them out in the cold.

[Matt Jones]

Throw your dogs out in the snow. This is what happens when we let him by himself. 859-280-2287. Congrats to TG Shuck.

[Ryan Hall]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Thank you to Commonwealth causes and serve pro and white Greer Maggard for joining us. I now have to Shannon, write a check to dogs.

[Shannon]

I know you love that, right?

[Matt Jones]

There's one thing I love. It's. It's giving animals money for the puppies. But TG Shuck does it and Ryan Hall, y', all, with his computers and pike will second. Thank you to everybody else that participated and all of you who joined. This went viral all over the Internet this weekend and it was because of you guys. We appreciate it. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.

[Matt Jones]

Is, Little TG Thunderstruck 859-280-2287 Got some open lines. Listen, I know none of y' all are working or not. None of y'.

[Ryan Hall]

All.

[Matt Jones]

But a lot of y' all aren't. Give us a shout. 859-280-22871 Person Writes Matt, everyone's gotten soft. 40 years ago, 6 inches would just be normal. No one would change their life. I don't believe that. At least I hate when people say things like that. Shit, 40 years ago I like no, first of all, the streets would have been worse.

[Shannon]

Yeah, because we had no idea how to handle it.

[Matt Jones]

The streets would have been wires. There was less four wheel drive cars. Are you kidding me? I hate when people say things.

[Shannon]

Yeah, that's ridiculous because yeah, I mean Even like 20 years ago, the way we handle the roads and stuff is differently different than how they do.

[Matt Jones]

Ryan, you're old enough to remember 40 years ago, it would have been worse, right?

[Ryan Hall]

There was a snowstorm 40 years ago, like it was in 1978. And we went to school in January for two days. We got stuck at home, only went to school for two days. So, yes, it was not worse. I mean, it was not worse today. It was just as bad as back then as it is today.

[Matt Jones]

We actually may have gotten lucky. I mean, let's talk about what happened to the north and the south of us. They got 16 inches in Columbus, Ohio. That would have shut this state down for a week. But what about to the South? Have you all seen the video? The pictures and videos in Oxford, Mississippi.

[Shannon]

All the ice and stuff?

[Matt Jones]

Oh, my goodness. That's the worst ice I've ever seen.

[Ryan Hall]

Wow.

[Matt Jones]

Look up. If you have not seen Oxford, Mississippi, two inches of ice, the entire square, like down in the center of town, which, for those of you who've ever been there for a UK football game or whatever, you've seen trees down everywhere. There are 30,000 houses that have power, that get electrical service in Oxford. And Ryan, 29,500 are without power.

[Ryan Hall]

Oh, my God, look at it.

[Matt Jones]

You look at the pictures and video. That's not getting cleaned up for a long time. There are trees in the middle of, like, every street. I, that, that I have a couple friends that live there. I feel really sorry for the, like, that. I don't think that place is going to be completely fixed for a long time.

[Ryan Hall]

It takes weeks. You're right, because those tree limbs, they break and fall on power lines. When I get the power, people have to get down there and fix it. I think there's still like a bunch of people down in southeastern Kentucky without power right now. Just in Kentucky?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, just like in Southern, like, you know, like what Wayne county and places like that, I think is where a lot of it is. But you look at, look at that. Oxford, Mississippi. I mean, that looks. That's as bad as I've ever seen. Shannon.

[Shannon]

An entire light pole has just fallen over onto the streets from, from the ice. That's crazy. You're seeing trees just bend it.

[Matt Jones]

They got literally two inches of ice. There was a guy down there who just shows himself walking through trees and pulling it, and I couldn't believe it. So that, that, that area of the country, everybody certainly, you know, have prayers there. 859-280-2287. I was in part because you couldn't go anywhere. Watched a lot of TV and read a lot. Let's Start with the game. All right. As bad a basketball game as I've ever seen. Kentucky and Ole Miss. Right. I mean, I'm serious. Can you think of a worse basketball game? No, I mean, we won, but it was an awful game.

[Ryan Hall]

Wasn't pretty hard to watch at times.

[Matt Jones]

At times it was awful.

[Shannon]

A lot of missed shots. I mean, it was shots.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, we won, but a ton of foul shots. A ton of missed shots. I mean, I'm glad we won, but I will say the first half is the worst half of basketball I've ever seen. Second half got a little bit better, but Ryan, it's one of those we're just glad you're win. And in my opinion, you just throw away the tape and you don't ever watch it.

[Ryan Hall]

Amen.

[Matt Jones]

That's.

[Ryan Hall]

I was going to say, who cares as long as you got the W at home. You had to get that one against Ole Miss with your schedule coming up. Had a couple guys that didn't play very well, but a couple other guys kind of stepped up for Kentucky. So that was kind of good to see.

[Matt Jones]

Well, let's talk about who's good away Second half showed Ryan why he's the MVP, preseason, all SEC, etc.

[Ryan Hall]

Yeah, he didn't hit a field goal the first half and then he kind of just took over. Put him on the shoulders.

[Matt Jones]

23 points.

[Ryan Hall]

23 points. Ended up with thinking the thing I like about him and he's getting to the free throw line. I think he shot like 12, 13 free throws. He's getting to the. Getting found. Going to the basket.

[Matt Jones]

Colin Chandler hit a couple of big shots which were important. You got pretty good minutes from. From your bigs. The, you know, the worst hooking call in the history of basketball.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

To call that an and one on away. It still makes me mad now. Had we lost that game, I might have gotten sued again. I'm just saying like that that's how bad that call was.

[Shannon]

Yeah, that was bad. Can you not challenge that or, I.

[Ryan Hall]

Don'T know, challenge foul calls.

[Shannon]

I guess you can't on. On something like even if it's a hook and hold, it.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, it was. Well, it wasn't a hook and hold. I think people say that's a different thing. It was a hook, but he. I mean, it was clearly a hook. But Ryan, if you don't want to call the hook. Okay, whatever. But you can't call the foul on away in the part of it, right?

[Ryan Hall]

Yeah, that was blatantly obvious. I mean, it was right There too. There was a lot. Like there was in a crowd of people. It was just a one on one. You saw it. Everybody in the gym saw. We all saw it on tv.

[Matt Jones]

All right, what about the booing of Travis Perry?

[Ryan Hall]

I, I'm kind of ashamed and embarrassed of our fan base a little bit. I mean, I wasn't there, but I heard it was mainly just the students maybe were doing it. That might be wrong.

[Matt Jones]

But then in the post game show, some people called and said it was many, much more than okay, but, but, but nevertheless it was some group of people. But go ahead.

[Ryan Hall]

I mean, he is our state's all time high school leading score. We loved that kid for four years. I can understand maybe a little when they introduced me to starting lineup, but every time he touched it during the game, that kind of made my stomach turn a little bit, to be honest.

[Matt Jones]

All right, Shannon, I would think you have the opposite.

[Shannon]

I'm okay with it. Look, he chose to leave. He wanted to go to Ole Miss. And when he comes back, he should expect to get booed. Yeah, he's still a Kentucky and he's always going to be that. But he's playing for the other team now, so I'm perfectly fine with it.

[Matt Jones]

What about the argument, though? Well, you're not booing the other guys that play for obese. You're only booing the guy that played here.

[Shannon]

Yeah. Because we need you on this year's team. Like we need.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, but I don't think fans were upset. Like, I, I don't think most fans were like, please, Travis, stay. Right. I think most fans were fine with him leaving.

[Shannon]

I'm just tired of like, don't boo these poor kids. These poor kids are making more money than a lot of us will ever make in our lifetime. And so I'm not going to be one of these people who are like, don't boo the guy if you want to.

[Matt Jones]

Boom, boom.

[Shannon]

I'm not saying I would boo him, but I'm okay with other fans doing it.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I wouldn't boo him. I, I think it was. I, I think it was a little bit of poor form to do it the whole time. But I will also say this. I think it was done, Ryan, to rattle him. And that might have worked because he was completely discombobulated when he played and didn't play a lot.

[Shannon]

Open the game with the Airball 3.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. So it could be the case, Ryan, that it worked.

[Ryan Hall]

His five seconds into the game, he shoots the first shot of the game and it's an Airball. If he just got booed when he got introduced, I think it definitely got into his head a little bit. Didn't score a point the whole game.

[Matt Jones]

So then is it okay if it had an effect on the game in a positive manner?

[Ryan Hall]

Well, I'm kind of like you. I kind of see doing it when he introduced, but I just can't believe they did it throughout the whole game. I just.

[Matt Jones]

If they told you, if they told you, if you boo him, he will miss every shot. Are you booing him?

[Ryan Hall]

Are we still winning the game? I'm not booing.

[Matt Jones]

We don't know. I think at that point, then you might have to do it to win. We'll be right back.

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

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. Text Machine 772-774-5254. One person writes, Matt, I see T.J. shuck'. How does Ryan Lemon think that he looks like that guy? That guy is in good shape.

[Ryan Hall]

And.

[Matt Jones]

Has a chiseled jaw.

[Ryan Hall]

I never said I thought I did, but I've been confused for him for 25 years.

[Matt Jones]

You did notice how he inserted, though. People say, yeah, I've been confused, you.

[Shannon]

Know, with Bradley Cooper for about the last 10 years.

[Matt Jones]

That's kind of what he did. He didn't say people confusing with Kevin Harness.

[Ryan Hall]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

He said, TG Shuck.

[Ryan Hall]

TG Shuck.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Who would you have bet on? Which were you going to bet on, the shock or who are you going to put place your bet on?

[Ryan Hall]

I probably would have gone with my buddy Bill Max, as I worked with him for 12 years. That's what I probably would have relied on.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, well, it wasn't able to get the victory. One person writes, Matt, there's 150,000 people in Nashville without power. Any chance our game against Vandy tomorrow is postponed? I haven't heard that. I guess that's always possible, Ryan. I don't think they'll have any problem getting there. But then again, I don't know about the power situation. What do you think?

[Ryan Hall]

I didn't think about that. I don't know what the Vanderbilt campus or what their situation is, but yeah, they got to fly out this afternoon to get down there. I don't know. I can see him maybe moving the game.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, the game's Tuesday. The problem is the game's on espn, right? So espn is going to be very hesitant to move it to a different day.

[Ryan Hall]

That's true. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Theory you could move it to the next day but then you ESPN loses their game.

[Shannon]

So I wonder if that'll have like any change on like what the attendance is for that game. Maybe more people will come out if they don't have power or are they.

[Matt Jones]

Probably won't have much of an impact. I mean you, you know, Vandy all most of students can just walk to the game.

[Shannon]

Probably a lot of Kentucky fans there.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. That it might, well, it might have an impact on if Kentucky fans can get what I'm saying.

[Public Investing Announcer]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You know, so I don't know that that' the game is not till tomorrow night at 9 o'. Clock. So I think we'll probably have to see how the day goes over the course of this one person writes. Matt, have you done anything to, to shovel your sidewalks or fix your car? Well, I mean you could probably guess the answer to that question. I went outside with a brush last night, Shannon, and brushed the stove.

[Shannon]

A hairbrush.

[Matt Jones]

Like, I don't know, like it's a brush, not a hairbrush. Like it was. It's a big brush like you would brush a broom. It's not a broom, but like thick. It's just a brush. It's a big brush.

[Shannon]

What do you think you're gonna do with 6 inches of snow with a brush?

[Matt Jones]

Well, I brushed all the snow off the front windshield.

[Shannon]

You brush your teeth. What are you gonna do?

[Matt Jones]

It's not, it's a big brush. It's not, it's not like a little brush. Okay.

[Ryan Hall]

All right.

[Matt Jones]

And I brushed it all off. Yeah. So it's not on there.

[Shannon]

Do you own a shovel?

[Matt Jones]

No.

[Shannon]

So there's no chance you could shovel yourself out if you needed to get your car out of the snow?

[Matt Jones]

No. I mean I have to use my foot.

[Shannon]

Was he, were you the one using a credit card trying to scrape the ice off of your windshield a couple years ago?

[Ryan Hall]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

One time. One, One time.

[Ryan Hall]

So what are you gonna do to get the ice off your car? You got the snow off. What about the ice?

[Matt Jones]

It doesn't seem to Shannon, I, I, it didn't have ice on the car last night. Now it might now, but it was just all snow and that's part of why I went and brushed it so it wouldn't freeze.

[Shannon]

Yeah. And you're going to walk where you go anyway? Probably today. So you're, you're in good shape. You're okay?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Now apparently there's a New ordinance in Lexington that passed last year, Ryan, that says if you get four inches of snow, you have to shovel your sidewalk. Did you know this?

[Ryan Hall]

I did not know this. I've never heard this.

[Matt Jones]

So this. I don't know if this is in Louisville, but in Lexington last year, a city ordinance was passed that if at least 4 inches of snow are on the ground, you have to shovel the sidewalk in front of your house. Or what?

[Shannon]

Are they gonna come arrest you?

[Matt Jones]

I think it's a ticket.

[Shannon]

They're gonna ticket you. So you think somebody's gonna go around and.

[Matt Jones]

Because, look, there's a story in the Herald Leader this morning right next to the story about the girl's new T shirt that says Millie Bobby Brown. Yeah. That says you need to. To shovel. And it even says, go help your elderly neighbors do it.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

But suggested that it was now in effect. I didn't know this, and I bet you most people in Lexington don't know it, but apparently, if you do not shovel in front of your house, the sidewalk, Ryan, you can now get a ticket.

[Ryan Hall]

I want to know what you're doing walking out in front of my house, my sidewalk, when it's got 4 inches of snow and it's 12 degrees outside.

[Shannon]

Yeah. Are they going to go out and, like, measure to see if you get 4 inches in your driveway?

[Matt Jones]

No, no. The 4 inches is a citywide thing, and it has been from, again, according to story, it has been triggered. So, Ryan, unless you want to go to the pokey, you need to go out there and start shoveling. I think so.

[Ryan Hall]

They want me to risk injury slipping on the ice, cracking my head.

[Matt Jones]

I'm just telling you what this article.

[Shannon]

If you went to jail, at least you'd have somebody to hang out with. You wouldn't be by yourself. Look at it like that. I just can't believe there'd be somebody actually going door to door to see houses.

[Matt Jones]

They have not said that like they're going door to door. Yeah, but I. But it does. This article, I read it this morning, said that that exists. That is. There's. There's an ordinance. It doesn't say about Louisville. I don't know if Louisville has one, but that Lexington has that ordinance.

[Ryan Hall]

I just understand why I have to risk injury to prevent somebody else from slipping in when they're walking around when it's 12 degrees outside.

[Matt Jones]

Society is.

[Shannon]

But it's your driveway. Well, you're not going to be in my driveway.

[Matt Jones]

Not the driveway, you don't. It's the sidewalk. So he doesn't have to do his driveway. He has to do his sidewalk.

[Shannon]

I got you. I don't know. I kind of feel like that's. That should be the city's thing. I mean, the city owns the sidewalk, right?

[Ryan Hall]

City on the sidewalk.

[Matt Jones]

Do I have to shovel my sidewalk with more? I mean, this is the right story. With more than five inches of snow, many air roads and sidewalks are impassable. Lexington has a plan for clearing city owned sidewalks. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. A city ordinance says private sidewalks in front of homes and businesses must be cleared within 24 hours after the snow stops.

[Ryan Hall]

Well, they can. They can kiss my butt. I'm not getting out there and doing it. I am not doing it.

[Matt Jones]

When did you become like, this is a law? Do you just think you can just say to authorities, I'm flaunting the law.

[Ryan Hall]

I'm near.

[Matt Jones]

Are you going to go up to the police officers and say, police officer, you can kiss my butt? I'm not going to shovel my sidewalk.

[Ryan Hall]

I say, look, you want to shovel the snow? Get to it.

[Matt Jones]

The police officer is going to say, the losses. You have to shovel it.

[Ryan Hall]

Well, kiss my butt. I am not going to risk a heart attack and slip and fall on the ice.

[Matt Jones]

Heart attack.

[Ryan Hall]

I'm close to the elderly age. I'm not going to get out there and get a heart attack shoveling that snow.

[Matt Jones]

Listen, you should take. Who's your city council member?

[Ryan Hall]

I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

You should take your complaints to them. But as of right now, there is a. Here. I just got this message. I walked my dog yesterday. It would be nice for people like Ryan to clear their sidewalks so that my dog and I could walk up the sidewalk.

[Shannon]

Responsible for your dog, though. Your dog can go take a hike somewhere else. It doesn't need to be walking on my driveway to begin with.

[Matt Jones]

It's not your driveway. Well, it's your sidewalk.

[Shannon]

I know, but the sidewalk goes through my driveway.

[Matt Jones]

All right, I'm just saying. Ryan has officially told the Lexington police to kiss his butt.

[Ryan Hall]

Yeah. I am not doing it.

[Matt Jones]

I'm just telling you. I'm reading the rule. Who's up first?

[Shannon]

Let's go to Jonathan.

[Matt Jones]

Jonathan, go ahead, Jonathan.

[Jonathan (Caller)]

It's actually safer to walk on the snow right now the way it is and to walk on a shoveled sidewalk.

[Matt Jones]

I think that's probably right. Yeah.

[Jonathan (Caller)]

You've got actually more of a chance of slipping and busting your ear in on that thing you do, just walking on packed in snow.

[Matt Jones]

So. Are you telling people to kiss your butt, too, sir? Yeah.

[Jonathan (Caller)]

As a matter of fact.

[Ryan Hall]

The movement has begun.

[Jonathan (Caller)]

Dual birds to them. My question is, is what was that? What was the actual official snowfall total? I haven't heard for some reason.

[Matt Jones]

So the official one that I have is that Louisville Airport said 6.1 and Lexington said 4.1. But. But even that's a little contrary. It won't change the winner either way unless Louisville gets over like 10, which is not going to happen.

[Jonathan (Caller)]

Or where did TG Shook ended up Winning? I thought that. Right.

[Matt Jones]

Well, but Ryan Hall, y'.

[iHeart Radio Announcer]

All.

[Matt Jones]

He did, but he was way over in Louisville. Okay, so if it was just Lexington, Ryan Hall, y' all would have been the winner. But he was so far off in Louisville. TG had it much lower in Louisville. So TG was overall less off.

[Shannon]

Yeah, Ryan said 13.7. Ryan Hall.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, Ryan hall was too high in Louisville. So he was point. When they. When you add them up, TG was point one closer than Reinhall.

[Jonathan (Caller)]

Oh, okay. Well, the other thing I was going to say just to talk about this, this Travis Perry deal the other day, you know. Yeah, I've probably booed some people that over. Over times that maybe I shouldn't have, but I wouldn't have booed that kid the other day. I mean, he's a Kentucky kid and, and you know, he played here last year, I think in a pretty serviceable role considering the situation. And did. I felt pretty good. And if we had him right now, him being a point guard, you know, we're. We're point guard shy right now. He might not be the best guy on the team, but he would still be a serviceable player to have here and a player that you would have here for four years.

[Matt Jones]

He would get some minutes. Probably I don't know how many, but he would get some minutes. So I understand. I actually. And I appreciate the call, sir. I understand both sides of it. I can understand why that the kids did it. I could understand why people like Ryan don't like it. You know, it's just kind of one of those things. And I think people feel more empowered to boo now in the nil Rev share era maybe than they did before. Ring in the new year with a new ride at Don Franklin.

I just got a text message from a cop friend of mine that says tell Ryan don't say kiss my butt or else people will actually take him up on it.

[Ryan Hall]

Want to come kiss my butt?

[Matt Jones]

I don't think that's what he meant.

[Ryan Hall]

I think what he meant challenge that.

[Matt Jones]

You'Re going to violate the resolution. I don't think he literally said he was going to come and do that.

[Ryan Hall]

Well, I can see there's no snow tracks in my driveway, nothing on my sidewalk or anybody coming around my area. So I ain't shoveling it.

[Matt Jones]

One person says I'm a first responder. It's nice to have the sidewalk cleared because what if Ryan has a heart attack and we have to get into his house?

[Shannon]

That's true.

[Ryan Hall]

Wear your snow boots.

[Matt Jones]

It's only gonna hurt you.

[Ryan Hall]

Wear your snow boots. Be careful when you're walking up my ice covered driveway.

[Matt Jones]

All right, there you go. Brian is Mr. Rebel. He's taking a stand. We'll take a break. Right back this KSR run a business.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome Back Kentucky Sports Radio. A lot of people weighing in on Ryan's refusal to shovel his sidewalk. You got some supporters, you got some detractors. Just so you know.

[Ryan Hall]

I mean, it's eventually going to melt. Well, I gotta get out there and.

[Matt Jones]

It'S not like a week and a half.

[Ryan Hall]

Well, then stay inside. Don't walk. Don't walk for a week.

[Matt Jones]

Have to leave your house at some point in the next week and a half. I think that's probably the case. All right, meteorologist madness. $10,000 go into charity. To the winner. And our winner joining us now on the phone from wtvq, TG Thunder Shock. Congrats on the win.

[TG Shuck]

Thanks, Matt. I actually don't know whether to say thank you or apologize or in which order.

[Matt Jones]

Well, no, you won. You ended up.

[Ryan Hall]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Now everyone was off by decent amount. Why do you think that? Why did that happen?

[TG Shuck]

Well, I was going to explain that first off. Yes, everybody missed it by a country mile. The weather service did, all the TV people did. Internet people did. The reason that it happened was this. It was the Timing of the storm relative to when we had to have our picks in because the show, your final show of the week, was on Friday morning. The snow didn't start until Saturday afternoon. What changed from. And again, in support of all my illustrious weather colleagues that were nice enough to do this contest.

[Matt Jones]

Yes, we were.

[TG Shuck]

We were literally all in the same boat. Let's say, for example, the snow was going to start on a Wednesday afternoon. Well, you got a show on Wednesday morning. You would have had us have our picks in 10, 10, 30, 11 o' clock and talk about it, what, four to six hours before it started snowing. What changed between when we locked it in on Friday morning and when everything started on Saturday? It was trending that way and it went full bore Friday night into Saturday morning. That dreaded warm nose that we all love to talk about. Yeah, I've seen it a thousand times. It always works up to the i64 corridor at the last minute. I mean, Ryan talked about it what last hour. He and I did the sports radio show here on lap 25 years ago. I mean, I've been doing this around here collectively between Lexington and Louisville. 20 years here, six years over at WHAS. It always happens. And that's what impacted my quote combined total.

[Matt Jones]

So it was a war. So the warm note, the warm nose coat comes, pushes it north and then. But, but just that. Why do you think. I mean, you guys all know the warm nose is coming. Was it warm nosier this time than the mort other times.

[TG Shuck]

It eventually got there. But see, we use guidance. And let me emphasize, that's all these different models that people throw around and talk around about and you see floating around the Internet, again, that's just guidance. It's not the Sabbath, so to speak. Literally, some of them were still kicking out 14, 15, 16 inches of snow even as late as Friday afternoon and Friday evening. But again, I guarantee you, if you would have had everybody have their picks in by, say, Saturday morning, by 11:30, they would have been reduced by probably a third across the board because everything was cutting down the overall snow total and bringing that icing farther north. And again, keeping our eye on the ball here, has the system been hugely disruptive and impactful? Absolutely. It's a mess. Obviously, I work last night and the road crews have done an amazing job. I know there's tons of people sitting in the dark and cold down in Southern Kentucky and that's awful. But people get so caught up in the snow totals and obviously the KSR curse of focusing. Just.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I think you guys Were all great sports to do it. It. Okay. Like I do. I mean, it was. We raised money for charity. It also, I think, brought awareness to people of what was coming. Etc. So I don't. I don't criticize you all at all for being off. As a matter of fact, listen, it.

[TG Shuck]

It comes with the territory, you know, it's an occupational hazard. I've been doing this so long, there's rarely a day that goes by that I'm not burned in effigy. And now.

[Matt Jones]

Well, you're not by me. I'm here to. I'm actually. Because I just got a couple minutes left. I'm here to praise team TG Shuck. I did not know you were back on the. On Lexington TV until this contest. And when I learned, it made me happy because you have a great name. TG Thundershuck. And then you pick the Lexington Humane Society. So in the last minute or two here, I want to actually praise you for not only winning, but for being a good sport and enjoying it. And then I want you to tell me why you picked the Lexington Humane Society.

[TG Shuck]

Well, first of all, I appreciate that greatly. I love how my odds were, like, plus 4,000.

[Matt Jones]

I didn't do that. That's Jay and Linda who did that.

[TG Shuck]

The only. Yeah. I'm one of the only 2 Mets besides Justin Logan that work both in Lexington and Louisville and have been doing it that long besides seem to help.

[Shannon]

Should have been a favorite.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[TG Shuck]

There you go. And Nick Rouse, thank you for the support for calling that out on Thursday night of the long odds. But to match point Lexington Humane Society, I was on the board between 2,026. Allen Stein was on there with me as well, and a number of other, you know, civic leaders here in Lexington. We strategic plan fundraised and got that new shelter, which is going on 20 years old now, built while I was on the board, which was all volunteers, of course, because the old one had fallen into hard times. It was dilapidated, very much needed. So I always have had a soft spot for animals and have animals myself, of course. And being a part of that was really something special. So I don't.

[Matt Jones]

I don't even like animals, TG and now I'm writing a check to the Lexington Humane Society because of you. So seriously, thank you very much for doing it. Thank you for letting everybody know what's gonna happen in the weather and quickly. Is it gonna be, like, stupid cold over the next few days?

[TG Shuck]

That's what I was gonna say. Impact, Impact. Impact.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[TG Shuck]

Wind chills. Tomorrow morning, 10, 15, possibly 20 below. We'll below zero tonight and we're going to be around zero for the morning low because of this ice and snow pack every morning all the way into the weekend.

[Ryan Hall]

Oh, my.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, it's fun. Well, it's not fun. All right, well, tg, thank you. Congratulations and celebrate your victory and we appreciate it.

[TG Shuck]

Thank you guys. I appreciate it. Good to talk to you.

[Matt Jones]

There you go. Minus 20.

[Shannon]

Shannon, in other words, there's going to be a big heat wave coming through. It'll probably be 70.

[Matt Jones]
