One of the biggest misconceptions about buying a home right now is that you have to wait for the perfect moment. Perfect rates, perfect timing, perfect market. The truth is that moment doesn't really exist. A lot of buyers pause because of headlines or assumptions. But every situation is different. Race change, market shift and personal goals matter just as much as what's happening nationally. That's why talking to a local lender can be so valuable. When you contact Stockton Mortgage, you get paired up with a local lender. That lender will give you your options. That lender will explain the situation. You can Ask your own questions. That's what it's all about. Getting to the closing table and as simple and easy as possible. Our friends at Stockton Mortgage focus on helping people understand their options. Whether you're ready to buy now, later, or just starting to ask questions, there's no pressure to make a decision, just a chance to get real information and a clearer picture of what's possible.

Kentucky Sports radio presented by Stockton mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.
Shannon
Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentucky sports radio here at media row in San Francisco. Whiskey thief. It is our whiskey thief takeover day with their thieve your own experience. Go check out whiskey thief in Franklin county and in Louisville's tasting room it is the bourbon of Kentucky sports radio. Billy, our sports Drew Franklin and I, you guys ran all the way up there, got a drink during the break and got here right in time. K Adam show has started over there. Even sadder that Mario is not here because we have a perfect view. For all we know, Mario did not, did not refuse, did not get, not get his credential back and is instead over there with Kay Adams. That's also possible as well.
Drew Franklin
It's gonna be one big lie.
Shannon
It all could be one big lie. Yellow bitch apparently was the guy who guarded Caleb Wilson. Okay, so that's right. That was the game I didn't get to watch because I was with my dad. So I, so I didn't know that. But yellow would be. That's an interesting option. I guess if it worked with Caleb Wilson, might as well try with Nate. Amen.
Drew Franklin
Wilson, you know, he scored a lot of points but I think he's very inefficient from the field. He had one little one handed turnaround late in the game. That was like an NBA where we thought yeah, we could have used that. But they did pretty good on him overall.
Shannon
Who's this big guy right here?
Matt Jones
I don't know.
Drew Franklin
I would not mess with that.
Shannon
He's clearly something, this dude. Well, yet the one, the guy that looks 6 8. Do you see that guy? That's the one I'm talking about.
Drew Franklin
Go shoulder bump him.
Billy
I passed by him. He said he was psychedelics helped him in recovery is what he was saying in the interview.
Shannon
He said it to you? No. What was the context of the Conversation. He just walked up to you and.
Billy
Said, psychedelics trying to get back here. And he was talking about how psychedelics had helped him in his recovery.
Shannon
Oh, you know, I hear a lot more about that. They say that about people and Kentucky is like one of the places is in Kentucky, right?
Billy
Well, yeah, the guy that.
Shannon
No, there's a guy who, who talks a lot about psychedelics to help, you know, former veterans and people like, who deal with like PTSD and that kind of thing. And, and he says that psychedelics help and, and he. I believe he is from Kentucky. Okay. So I think he's had some fights maybe with the legislature about that. Speaking of that, a non sports thing. Andy Beshear went on TV yesterday and said that the Lexington response to the snow has been unacceptable. Said he offered the state's help right after the snow to help clean up the roads and the city said no. So that's that. First of all, interesting just from a political standpoint because he and Linda Gordon are, you know, in the same party. I mean, she, I think she. Maybe she used to be Republican, I don't know. But like, she's a pretty moderate to, to liberal person. And you don't usually see a governor just call out.
Stockton Mortgage Representative
Yeah.
Shannon
To just call out a mayor. But like, if it's true that he offered the states help in cleaning up the roads and they said no, that's probably a bad look.
Billy
And Andy, because those roads are still terrible, I, I don't expect every, you know, back road to get done, but like turning lanes and busy intersections are still full of ice. So like, I just, I, I completely agree with Andy.
Shannon
If that's true, that they, that the state offered it and they said no, that's kind of inexcusable to me.
Drew Franklin
Absolutely. And just the fact that the governor's calling out the city in itself is. You don't see that often say it.
Shannon
Was the second storm in a row where it's happened.
Drew Franklin
And I'm, you know, I'm just a neighborhood subdivision, but my house in my street. I just talked to Abby last night. No different than it was the day we did Meteorologist Madness on that Monday. It has not changed. When it's just a block of ice, still nothing is different. And how long has that been?
Shannon
Man, it's been two weeks. I mean, it started snowing what, Saturday, two weeks ago? I mean, we're going on two weeks now. Apparently some of it might melt this weekend, which is good. But still, I mean, two weeks is unacceptable. It is.
Billy
I mean, I don't know, like you said, that can be a big factor in somebody trying to get reelected, right? The little things like that snowplow.
Shannon
I mean, if you think about it, like, what does a mayor do? Like, ask. Like, I think when you, when people judge mayors, they're going to judge probably number one crime, right? The number one thing is, like, public safety and crime. The second is probably like, is this place clean? Right.
Billy
Sure.
Shannon
And then third might be snow. I mean, what else does it. I, I, I know mayors do other things, but I don't think people know. Right. Like what, what do you think a mayor does, Billy, besides the things I just said?
Billy
Shake hands, kiss babies, be a figure, head for.
Shannon
For what? For crime, snow.
Drew Franklin
And the place I might put snow number one. Because right now with school being out, people are going broke on, like, daycare and things that have, I've mentioned this. Cars are going to be wrecked from what we've had in Lexington. There are parts where there's now big potholes from the ice. There's a part on New Circle that is just rampur.
Shannon
I'm telling you that restaurants, I've talked just in the last week to restaurant owners who say business is like, way down in the last two weeks because there are still people who don't want to be out at night because of the ice, and so they won't come out at night. You know, we had, we've been down in the last couple weeks because of it. Like, I get it. I mean, I think there's a lot of reasons for people to be frustrated, you know, so. But you don't see a governor calling out a mayor very often.
Billy
Now, that'd be like, you know, good morning football. Calling each other out on air and say of off the air. It's like Andy just wants to say, like, my hands are clean of this. And he's just throwing Linda.
Shannon
So you don't. Wait a minute. Okay. Now that Shannon's taking the opposite view, you don't you, you think Shannon, he's just covering his tape?
Billy
Well, he's going like, look, don't blame me for this. We offered them help. He's throwing Mayor Gordon.
Shannon
What if that's true, though? What if he actually did offer him help and they didn't take it?
Billy
Well, then that's, that's bad on Mayor Gordon for not taking their help. But he's kind of just throwing her out there under the snowplow.
Shannon
I mean, yes, he is throwing her under the snowplow. That's exactly right. Let me just say, Shannon, yesterday Was a hilarious moment. So there's a thing over here called the. It's like the Bounty football challenge. And you're trying to throw footballs through a hole.
Stockton Mortgage Representative
I watch.
Shannon
Okay. Yeah, yeah. Now, the way to do that is probably to take two hands and just push it right, rather than try to make it. But. But. But I decreed that we couldn't do that because I thought that was like, Shannon unfair right now. Fair to me and Drew, the hole was, like, low. There it is. Shannon, the hole was low.
Billy
Billy said you'd say this on the pre show.
Shannon
Well, the hole was low. So Drew and I were having to come, like, throw and I both in. Or people were asking, well, why did you throw like that? It was the only way for me. If I threw it from above, I wouldn't have made any because of the. You know, so. So Drew and I both kind of had to throw it sidearm. Billy being a widow, he was able to throw it more normal. With that said, I got six, Drew got four, and Billy comes up and starts poorly. I mean, he's all over the place, right?
Drew Franklin
We wondered if he'd get one.
Shannon
He's like Zach Calzada and he's not getting his money right. Like, he's not hitting the target. And then with a 10 seconds left, goes on an amazing run. Four in a row gets the win. He gets seven, wins the competition. Shannon, no one's ever been happier than Billy. I mean, like, the cell, the celebration that was not for camera. Like, that was just his internal. You know what I mean?
Billy
Like that I saw nipple in the celebration.
Shannon
He decided to reverse the quarter zip. Gave the crowd a little bit of what they wanted, you know, gave the people working for Bounty some excitement. And. And I. I have to say, even though I'm very competitive and like, to win, I kind of was happy for you because I saw how much you wanted to win. And it was kind of had just.
Billy
Gotten off the set where Christian Watson had called me lazy. And five and one shampoo for the quarter.
Shannon
Okay, so for people who don't know, you've got to listen to Friday's Cover Zero. We're having an interview with Christian Watson where he roasts Billy. I mean, so much so Shannon, that I may cheer for the packers now because he. He roast Billy about his quarter zips, including saying that his quarter zips are the equivalent of five in one shamp.
Stockton Mortgage Representative
So.
Billy
So I just got off the stage from that. Yeah, a lot of pent up in me. I had watched too many Dr. Pepper halftime shows. At the SEC championship game, we didn't do the push, but, you know, I had the spiral down. I started using the laces late, and that's how I got on the run.
Shannon
Your first, first few throws, you didn't use the laces, which is something they teach you at quarterback school. But I was happy for you. He got. He won a month supply of Bounty, which is nice. He will have. He'll have clean counters and whatever else they clean.
Billy
So, yeah, I'm surprised we talked about this. Bounty is like the number one sponsor.
Shannon
Number one spot. Everybody here's Bounty. They're. They're everywhere. It's a. It's a crazy scenario. But were you happy for Billy?
Drew Franklin
I was that. That release there was like something pent up there. You even shaking a little bit. And, you know, I'm not that competitive. I wanted to win. But your excitement was more excitement than Matt and I ever could have had.
Shannon
And I loved it, so we needed you to have it. I'm glad you got that. And you went on a run to do it too. You came from behind, kind of like Kentucky versus lsu. You had your Malachi Moreno moment.
Billy
There's something about wearing khaki pants, whether it be hay bale tosses or football contests. Still do.
Shannon
All great football quarterback, square khaki fans. I'm proud of you. Who's up next?
Billy
Let's go to Ryan.
Shannon
Ryan, go ahead, Ryan. 859-280-2287.
Caller or Guest (e.g., Ryan, Wendell, Steve, Mary)
Hey there, Matt. This is Ryan. First time caller, longtime listener since.
Shannon
What's up, man?
Caller or Guest (e.g., Ryan, Wendell, Steve, Mary)
I have a grievance about the man that called in earlier. A little bit of hate towards San Francisco. Now, I'm born and raised in southeastern Kentucky. My whole life, you know, just praying to the Lord, stuff like that. So you can kind of imagine who and what, you know. I am like my wife. She works at a wonderful place here in Lexington, Greenhouse 17. They had an opportunity to go to San Francisco to a conference. So I jumped on board and it was an amazing time. Not only is that city beautiful, geologically, geographically, I mean, all of those things, it is an intelligence. I think that is the biggest problem. Maybe that, that that man with the chawl on his jaw didn't quite understand. I'm not here to be, you know, so upset, but people want to talk ill about a place. Now, that's one way, sure. But whenever you go there and you experience it, now that's a totally, totally different.
Shannon
I have only been to one and I appreciate the call. I've only been to one city in the world where I felt unsafe, I think that. I think there's like this, this thing that people get scared of travel because they think. I don't know, because it's unknown. I've been to one city in the world where I was felt unsafe. Where Marseille, France. And even then I've heard there are parts that are really nice. I just wasn't in them.
Billy
Is that where you get lost in the backyard or get stuck?
Shannon
No, that was in Luxembourg. I wasn't, I wasn't there scared there. But Mar. Marseille, France was the one place where I was walking down the street and I was like, but I mean, listen, I say this all the time. Every place has got places where you shouldn't go, right? There are places of Bell county that I would tell you, if you don't know anybody and it's after dark, maybe don't go to rj, right? You know, because they're gonna be like, what are you doing here? Why are you here every city? So you know, are there places in San Francisco that are not nice? I'm sure there are, but there's a lot of nice places, so don't be scared to, to come to a place.
Drew Franklin
I had a moment yesterday. I went to that. It's like a hundred year old place here. And I met the staff, they're all so nice. And I said, I'm from Kentucky. He's like, we never get Kentucky here. And I was like, really? And he said, yeah, I think it's TV news. We don't have the best reputation. And I had a great conversation, great meal. When I was leaving, he gave me a stack of postcards. He said, give these to your friends and family in Kentucky and say we loved having Kentucky here and hope more people will come visit. And I was like, hey, that kind of hit me. Like, dang, they feel like we, we hate them in Kentucky. But also he was so nice, was like, take these back and pass it around.
Shannon
And it's also like, Billy, there's some things here that you can't see in any other city. The hills, like the hill. Like there's no other place. There's no city in the country that's got hills like that.
Billy
Island prison.
Shannon
And there's an island prison. There are other places with island prisons.
Billy
But yes, two, two bridges that I hope that we're gonna.
Shannon
There's a Golden Gate Bridge and a Bay Bridge, although Drew has made clear which one he likes.
Drew Franklin
And I mean, we got Lombard street.
Shannon
You got these way mo's everywhere.
Billy
We were on top of the world last night on the.
Shannon
Let me say that that's a beautiful view at the top of. It's called the top of the mark. And you. And. And the windows are. There's windows all across around the building. And that's like. That's one of the better views. Like, you. You have to go to Manhattan to see a view that high and that. That pretty.
Billy
It was beautiful. It was stunning. But then also, earlier that day, we were in an alley that smelled like urine and where Mario could have lost his credential over there.
Drew Franklin
I do think that's where Mario's credentials are.
Billy
You did a photo shoot?
Shannon
Yeah. So he did. He. He did probably lose his credential in the urinaly. But that's not. You're not helping my point there.
Billy
Well, like, there are places, like, even in the most beautiful cities, like. Like the urinaly.
Shannon
Yeah.
Drew Franklin
Listen, I've peed in multiple alleys in Lexington. Sometimes you gotta pee in an alley. I'm not judging anybody for peeing in an alley.
Shannon
Well, I mean, I've done that this calendar year. Tell me about Stockton mortgage, Billy.
Billy
Oh, Stockton mortgage. You know, it's always a great time to buy, but maybe you're prepping for spring season, right? I mean, maybe that's when you're targeting. They can get you ready. They can put you through the entire process. When it comes to, like, if you're somebody like me who's still renting and you're not sure of, like, the. The more, like, what a mortgage is or, like, even, like, what you need to do next, they can walk you through that entire process. They're really friendly. It's not like AI like here in San Francisco. You're gonna get a real person talking to you.
Shannon
That's nice.
Billy
So, yeah, check out Stockton mortgage. They obviously work with Ryan, but they've done a lot for.
Shannon
What would the website be?
Billy
Stockton.com.
Shannon
That'S right.
Billy
And then ML NMLs, there's a number.
Shannon
You know the NML.
Billy
Don't know that one.
Shannon
Okay. 859-280-2287.
Billy
Yes. But thank you to Stockton for all that they've done.
Shannon

Billy
No.
Drew Franklin
No script.

Drew Franklin
So matlow, Inside ball. They used to have UK gear, and when I talk about UK isn't the easiest to work with. Sometimes they don't have UK gear anymore.
Shannon
Billy, first of all, Billy freaked out during the break. Who did you see?
Stockton Mortgage Representative
Gerald.
Shannon
Shady McCoy.
Billy
Gerald McCoy.
Shannon
Gerald McCoy. You, like, went crazy. You said you looked. Shannon. He looked at him and he goes, gerald, you're a true buck.
Drew Franklin
Preach to him.
Shannon
You did. You said you were a true buck. You were excited.
Billy
Well, he was a high draft pick and was on the team for a while on some bad teams. Like, really bad teams. Okay. Very outspoken. He's kind of got a quirky side. He's like a comic book nerd. He's really into superheroes.
Shannon
He's like you.
Billy
No, but, I mean, that stuff is fine. But, like, he really connected with the fan base. He's gotten a lot of criticism, though, and I think it's unwarranted in a lot of ways. So I just wanted to give him my.
Shannon
Now, who is this person right here that you don't like?
Billy
This is Cameron Jordan. He's a saint.
Shannon
All right. Cameron Jordan. Ask Cameron Jordan to come on the show.
Stockton Mortgage Representative
Oh, boy.
Drew Franklin
I'm not watching this. I'm turning my back.
Shannon
Ask. Will you watch?
Billy
I don't want to have him the show.
Shannon
I understand, but I do so like you. You're the. You're one. You're a producer here on the set. Why don't you walk right over there? Will you walk right over?
Billy
It seems like he's, like, with them, right?
Shannon
Could you pop on? Could you pop on for just a second?
Billy
Why? So you can set me up with this guy? Doesn't like you.
Shannon
Yes. You know.
Drew Franklin
You know exactly. He's walking you to your own funeral.
Billy
So I'm going to decline this interview request before it even happens.
Shannon
Wait, how can you decline this interview request? You don't. You don't get to decline. Cameron George. He's on the move here. He is. Do you have a second? Okay, so that's a no.
Billy
Exactly.
Shannon
There you go.
Billy
See, he doesn't.
Shannon
Now you know why you don't. Now you know why you don't like him.
Billy
I didn't want to talk to him.
Shannon
He could probably tell. That's Why? I didn't want to do it.
Drew Franklin
Yeah, you said no first, Billy. Let the record show that Billy was.
Shannon
The first one to say you turned him down before he turned.
Billy
I don't even like him talking to Gerald over there like they should be rival.
Shannon
Oh, that's your Bucks guy talking to him.
Billy
They should hate each other.
Shannon
See their friends.
Billy
I don't like.
Drew Franklin
Billy's starting to get that look he got last night when he needed to go outside for fresh air.
Shannon
That's what you look like before you slam down the restaurant. That's right. See, he would have come on, but he heard you turn us down.
Billy
You asked him, and he said you said, do you have a second? He said, I might.
Shannon
He did say I might, Shannon. That's a weird answer. Do you have a second? I might.
Stockton Mortgage Representative
Yeah.
Billy
It depends on who you are, who's.
Shannon
Asking, or did he say I could? That made it sound. Does he want me to pay him? Yeah.
Billy
I don't know.
Shannon
All right, here. I got a 20. Cameron, will you come on first, I respect.
Drew Franklin
Respect, Billy. When you have your rivals and your people, you don't. You don't bend, you don't cave just because they're in front of you. You don't like him, you don't like them.
Billy
Unless you look like Jeff. Saturday, you put on a Colts jersey. I could see that as a Titans fan, but no, you gotta.
Shannon
All right, fine. You know what? I'll tell you what, Billy. I'm. I'm declining the interview.
Billy
We're anti Cameron.
Drew Franklin
I hope they offer him to you on, like, ESPN1 Sunday.
Shannon
No, no, declined.
Drew Franklin
Can we get Billy?
Shannon
For the first time ever, our first ban from KSR is. I don't know who this Cameron Jordan. Who's next?
Billy
Wendell?
Shannon
Wendell. Go ahead, Wendell.
Caller or Guest (e.g., Ryan, Wendell, Steve, Mary)
Hey, greetings, fellas. It's great to be on the show. It's been a while since I've talked to you. I hope you're having fun out there in San Francisco.
Shannon
Thank you.
Caller or Guest (e.g., Ryan, Wendell, Steve, Mary)
My question is, there's been a ton of earthquakes out that way in the last few days. A big swarm right there underneath San Francisco. Have you all felt any of them? Have you all been worried about it? And how's Billy Dealt with? Shaking?
Shannon
Yeah, I've not felt any. Have you felt any earthquakes? Yeah, I think maybe they're used to it here. Maybe it's built in, but I haven't felt. I haven't felt any.
Drew Franklin
I didn't heard a mention of it.
Shannon
Yeah. No. So I. I appreciate the call. I think, you know, they had the Big one a while back. It's sand. What is it? The San Andreas fault? Is that the name of the.
Billy
Sounds right.
Shannon
Okay.
Billy
Can't confirm.
Shannon
You're still worked up about Cam Jordan?
Drew Franklin
Yeah, right after he got his Gerald.
Shannon

Billy
Jake.
Shannon
Jake, go ahead. Jake. Jake.
Billy
All right, let's try Mary.
Shannon
Mary, go ahead, Mary.
Caller or Guest (e.g., Ryan, Wendell, Steve, Mary)
Yes, this is MB3 of the UK insiders. I had to work this week, so today is the first time I've been able to ask this question. Question or know the answer. So it may have been answered, but has there ever been three separate technicals within 38 seconds in a game like occurred at the Arkansas game? And secondly, I love Sam Fran. And insiders are saying cast by seven.
Shannon
Can I ask you a question? Let me go back just a second. Let me go back just a second. You introduced yourself. What did you introduce yourself as?
Caller or Guest (e.g., Ryan, Wendell, Steve, Mary)
Mary MV Free.
Shannon
I don't know what that means.
Caller or Guest (e.g., Ryan, Wendell, Steve, Mary)
Well, that's my code name. MB3 of the UK insiders. Mary Beth Freeman, actually.
Shannon
What's the UK insiders?
Caller or Guest (e.g., Ryan, Wendell, Steve, Mary)
It's just a group of cronies here in Kentucky. There'd be cat Fans.
Shannon
Okay, well, MD3 of the UK insiders. That sounds like. Is it a show? Because it sounds like the name of a show. The. The UK Insiders.
Caller or Guest (e.g., Ryan, Wendell, Steve, Mary)
Well, it's not a show, trust me. But it could be.
Shannon
Maybe we will. Maybe that'll be our next investment. Is MB3 from the UK insiders. To answer your question, I don't know of a game where one team has gotten three technicals in 38 seconds. I'm sure that there have been fights over the years, Drew, where there have been those amount of technicals, but to have three different incidents trigger a technical within 38 seconds, three different plays, I have to think that has almost never happened. Would you agree?
Drew Franklin
Yeah. Because usually after one and certainly after two, you do something to make sure it stops. Either that ref that's been teeing him up goes to the other side of the court, separates himself from the coach, or you tell both coaches, get your group together. I can't believe we've already had two. We got to have this discussion. So getting a third. It was just way out of hand there in Arkansas last Saturday.
Shannon
Yeah, I don't know. Thank you very much. I don't. I don't know that it's never happened, but I don't know of it happening in my. In my days.
Billy
And you know, we've seen two Mark Pope technicals already this year.
Shannon
Kind of surprising. Yeah, kind of surprising that he's. I mean, I. I sort of thought he might be a guy who never got technicals, Although I feel like they judge him on a different scale. You know what I mean? I feel like if you are as good a guy as he is, even a little screw up gets you a technical. Whereas like John Cal Peri or Mike Krzyevsky or those guys could just cuss and cuss and Hurley and like, they don't give it to him. I feel like you get almost a. Being a good guy almost hurts you a little bit because they're like, I do not expect that from you guys.
Drew Franklin
Mark raised his voice over there. Do we need to get this under control?
Shannon
He must be upset.
Stockton Mortgage Representative
Whoa.
Shannon
I mean, I'm only kind of half kidding. I kind of think because, you know, Dan Hurley 50 times a game says things as bad as Mark Pope did.
Drew Franklin
Well, it's like fouls and teams of foul. They don't call them all. So you're just a team that fouls and hacks a lot. So when you're screaming a lot, I can't tee you up every second.
Shannon
Was at Louisville, he said his defensive philosophy is we foul a lot because they can't call all of them. And. And so they got away with more because they just took the view that that that's what they could do.
Drew Franklin
So if you're just yelling the whole.
Shannon
Game, Tateo's right here. You want to ask him to come up?
Billy
I'd love to ask Mantai.
Drew Franklin
There you go.
Shannon
All right. You have a job. We'll be right back. KSR T.J. smith, personal injury attorney.
Billy
Call T.J. he'll make him pay. Now more of Kentucky sports radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.
Shannon
Welcome back. Tucky Sports radio. It is the whiskey thief takeover, Franklin county and the Louisville tasting room. Single barrel bourbons and whiskeys and you can get them right out of the barrel. Shannon. We just had objectively. All right. I like to kind of make fun of all these players walking around. This was very cool during that break. Standing what drew within 10ft of us.
Drew Franklin
We were kind of even brushing shoulders.
Shannon
Some of them within 10ft of us at the exact same moment were Bo Jackson, Barry Sanders, Drew Breeze, Larry Fitzgerald and Luke Kley.
Billy
There's a lot of talent. A lot of talent right there.
Shannon
Right there next to us. Bo Jackson is right there right now. That is Bo Jackson. Do you know that?
Drew Franklin
Yeah. I didn't know he was still doing media.
Shannon
I mean, for people our age. Yeah. Who was cooler than Bo Jackson.
Billy
I can hear you geeking out during the break.
Shannon
There's like, like Barry. Barry Sanders and Drew Brees. But that's Bo Jackson.
Drew Franklin
V, like, that's not someone we see a lot.
Shannon
He's not media.
Drew Franklin
He kind of keeps a low profile.
Shannon
You don't see. You do not see him. There he is.
Drew Franklin
That's a legend. I mean, a video game legend.
Shannon
When I was a kid, the thing where he had the bat on his arm, football pads, and his shirt off. Shannon, that was the coolest picture of all time.
Billy
Yell over there and see if he'll come on the show.
Shannon
Well, he's doing television right now. He's sitting next to Seth Rollins.
Billy
What about Barry Sanders and Cam Jordan?
Shannon
Barry. Barry Sanders is about to go on.
Billy
At least Fitzgerald.
Shannon
I try. I get. No one wants to come.
Drew Franklin
See, we're like their. Their lounge. We're sitting where they're waiting to go on.
Shannon
We're kind of in the NFL since we're NFL podcast. We are in the NFL TV lounge. So, like, they come in here to wait to go on the NFL Network work. But, but if we could get Bo Jackson after. After the other guy turned us down.
Drew Franklin
I mean, we're here with credentials. Why don't we just lie to him? Be like, no, no, you're not on set. You're audio only for this one. We try to lie to them. Like, they're supposed to be here with us.
Shannon
They are technically with the NFL.
Stockton Mortgage Representative
Yeah.
Drew Franklin
Look at Billy's hat.
Shannon
Billy, That's Bo Jackson. I'm.
Billy
I'm. I'm a little star struck. The last five minutes were insane.
Drew Franklin
And Rich Gannon.
Billy
Rich Gannon.
Shannon
I didn't mention Rich Gannon. I didn't even get to him. Listen, I, I'm trying to think. Athletes of my youth that would make me have that reaction would be maybe King Griffey Jr.
Billy
Bo Dion.
Shannon
Well, but Dion's been so overexposed in recent years. I think you're right. I think it's the fact that we don't see him much that makes that kind of cool. You know what I mean?
Billy
Yeah.
Drew Franklin
And just yesterday, one of our NFL bosses was telling us, like, he doesn't really get into NFL stuff because he works here, but he's like, but I love Bo Jackson.
Shannon
I wish you were here right now in the 90s. Who would that cool athletes have been? Shannon King Griffey, Bo Jackson, and Michael Jordan. Wouldn't those have been the three cool athletes?
Billy
Yeah, but. But again, I say Dion because Dion was a Multi sport athlete. He was really cool.
Shannon
He was.
Billy
Yeah. So I throw him in there.
Drew Franklin
Those four probably also remember Mario asked Larry Fitzgerald to take our picture in Scottsdale. We should have been like, hey, we can't find Mario. Will you social media for us?
Shannon
Mario still not in the building yet. Potentially at the police department trying to get his credential. Who's next?
Billy
Go to Steve.
Shannon
Steve. Go ahead, Steve.
Caller or Guest (e.g., Ryan, Wendell, Steve, Mary)
Hey guys, I haven't heard anything about the recruiting. You know, when JMI was having all that backlash about whatever the contractual provisions were that were causing problems with Stokes and Collins. So I was wondering if you guys had heard anything because usually when, you know, recruitments go bad, they turn around and they commit to a different school. That hasn't happened yet. So I'm just curious if you're all holding any hope that we may sign one or both of those two people. I guess with the whole K as well. So I'll take a time and talk to.
Shannon
I mean, I guess I'm holding. Appreciate the call. A tiny bit of hope. But I wouldn't say Drew, I'm holding a lot of hope of getting either of those guys.
Drew Franklin
No, I would love to be surprised. This looks like a year where it's going to be mostly returners and portal. I don't know how many high school kids are even out there still to go get.
Billy
Well, Rick Patino said he wasn't recruiting high school kids a couple years ago. He's since changed that a little bit. Is that notion still stand or you still want.
Shannon
I mean, Kentucky cannot, with a straight face, the basketball program make the argument that they're not recruiting high school kids. They recruited all these guys.
Drew Franklin
They're top three with a lot of.
Shannon
And a couple of them. They were the leader with Christian Collins and Stokes, they were the leader. So they cannot, with a straight face say we did not want to recruit high school kids. They. If they don't get these guys again, this is an off season conversation in my opinion. But I'm, you know, if they don't get those guys, there have to be a serious conversation about why that that happen. Did it happen because Mark Pope can't recruit those guys? Did it happen because of the JMI contract situation? Did it happen because these dudes are asking for so much money and we don't want to spend it? I, I don't know what the answer is but. And maybe it's a combination of all these, but there needs to be an answer because this is Kentucky and we are going to get none of the top Players, most likely none. And two of them are from Kentucky, by the way. And two of them lived here. Okay. We're going to get none of them. And by the way, the other power programs are all getting guys. So it's not like a philosophical sea change where now all these dudes are going to Iowa State, these dudes are going to Kansas, Duke, North Carolina. They're just not coming here. And so why that happens has to be a serious conversation and it cannot be. Mark, just saying everyone is special. Like, there has to be an explanation as to why that is. It's probably an off season conversation, but it is going to be one we're going to have to have. Yeah.
Drew Franklin
We were mentioning Caleb Wilson earlier in the show. Like 24 hours before he committed North Carolina, it looked like he was committing to Kentucky. Remember last year they were like, what's your dream top five in college. He's like, man, I would love to play with Jasper Johnson, Malachi Marino, Kate Lilly. He just named UK's freshman class. And then you lose them in the final hour. So we'll learn more about the nil situation stuff. But I think it's very obvious that the closing is already an issue because they've been all the way to the last step with a lot of players and none of them ended up signing.
Shannon
I got a message from the mayor's office that said the city did not refuse state help with roads. It was a misunderstanding. Apparently the mayor would never refuse state hell. So maybe that's breaking news here on KSR show. Yeah, she's not playing. That makes it even. Even in more. More odd that Andy would say that yesterday, right?
Stockton Mortgage Representative
Yeah.
Shannon
Andy versus Linda Gordon in the square circle.
Drew Franklin
It's a. It's a weird matchup, one that we didn't ever expect.
Shannon
Got Seth Rollins and Bo Jackson right there. They could be the special guest referees if they won. Who's up next?
Billy
Isaac.
Shannon
Isaac. Go ahead, Isaac.
Caller or Guest (e.g., Ryan, Wendell, Steve, Mary)
Hey, guys.
Shannon
Like, look how little Barry said, like.
Billy
That'S why I made him great.
Drew Franklin
He's also just dressed like everyone's like an older man. Like, shirt, tuck, button up, tucked in.
Billy
Yeah.
Shannon
I mean, he's dressed like. He's dressed like Larry dresses to go.
Drew Franklin
Short sleeve button.
Shannon
But, like, that was like the best. Like, that was the best running back of all time. And like, he's wearing dad jeans.
Drew Franklin
He looks like he's somebody's proud dad. Watching him here, he's like, just smiling.
Billy
I love.
Shannon
Barry Sanders and Bo Jackson are about to shake hands. This is like running.
Drew Franklin
I'm getting A video.
Shannon
Loyalty. Right here. You've got. Barry Sanders and Bo Jackson are about to embrace right in front of us. And where's Mario?
Drew Franklin
The police station.
Shannon
I mean, this is a crazy. All right, sir, I'm sorry, but you have to understand, right in front of us is Barry Sanders and Bo Jackson. Go ahead.
Caller or Guest (e.g., Ryan, Wendell, Steve, Mary)
No, I'd be in the same boat as you all. I'm extremely jealous of you all right now, but hope you're having a good time. I was gonna say, I've been thinking about Brandon Garrison and all the technicals he gets and how often he's just, like, ready to fight at any given moment. So I was trying to think, if you could think of any Kentucky players in history that you would want to go into a fight with, like they're going to be the guy that's right next to you in a fight, who would it be?
Shannon
It's a great question. Before I do it. There it is. They're hugging.
Billy
They dapped.
Shannon
They dapped. They dapped. I appreciate the call. Look at that.
Drew Franklin
I got an amazing video. I'm selling that to TMZ right now.
Shannon
I mean, Shannon, they're talking right now. Look at this.
Drew Franklin
He's got his arm on his shoulder.
Shannon
Get out of the way, Cow brand.
Billy
His arm is on his shoulder.
Shannon
Look at that. Wow. That is Cam Jordan.
Drew Franklin
Kyle was a running back. Princeton.
Shannon
Why are you all in the picture?
Drew Franklin
Angry runs.
Shannon
Barry Sanders. Okay, now look, they're talking. What do we think they're talking about? Hey, Bo, how you doing? Barry, these kids today. That's right. They can't run us back. Look, look.
Drew Franklin
Look how this is incredible. Hey, I can't get over how much of just a proud dad he looks like. He's just happy to be.
Shannon
I'm sorry.
Billy
He's going to church.
Shannon
That was cool. Forget it like that. Those are the things. Barry Sanders and Bo Jackson. They're talking. It's like we're there. It's surreal. We're right here. We're right here. You could give Barry Sanders a noogie and just don't do that.
Drew Franklin
We need Derek Henry to walk in. Should I go check the bathroom?
Shannon
Wow.
Billy
It's very, very hair. Does he.
Shannon
Who?
Billy
Barry Sanders. He's bald.
Shannon
Yeah. No, he's got a. He's got a full head of hair.
Billy
Oh, okay.
Drew Franklin
It's receding a little bit, but it's good.
Shannon
He still being good to him, doesn't he?
Billy
Two guys forced to retire in their.
Shannon
I will say, though, he is dressed. I think even I have dressed Barry Better than Barry Sanders.
Drew Franklin
Barry is an older Monso Allen. For any UK football fans that like to turtle, it looks a lot like him.
Shannon
Wow. All right, what was the guy's question? I got.
Drew Franklin
I don't know. I'm so starstruck.
Shannon
I asked who we would want to go in a fight with. Easy, easy answer for me. If I could have any UK player to fight in a fight with me, I would go with Jamal McGaughire.
Drew Franklin
Yeah, Jamal's good. I'm thinking as much as Dubate Ligon. Some of those guys come to mind. I need a center with some reach. McGlor fits that mold. I'll say Brandon Garrison to just stick with, you know, 100 when he gets worked up in games.
Shannon
I think I, I like Brandon, but I think Brandon's a lot of.
Drew Franklin
Well, if we're doing like our ratings, his crazy level like his, his now.
Shannon
That'S his not give a blank is.
Drew Franklin
Higher than anyone else.
Shannon
You don't want to fight crazy.
Drew Franklin
Yeah. So.
Shannon
Yeah, that Maybe so, but McGlory was crazy.
Drew Franklin
He was McGlore.
Shannon
I'm taking McGlory. I'll tell you a sneaky one. Lance. Where Lance?
Drew Franklin
How about Lance Cousins.
Shannon
Well, that's a good one too. You know, I feel like Cousins though, at the end of the day, doesn't want to get hit.
Drew Franklin
Can't mess that up.
Shannon
Yeah, I mean he did use Jared.
Drew Franklin
Swap Shire's face as an armrest in the, in the Louisville game.
Shannon
That's true. Well, that was, that's, that's a good list. And that was a cool.
Billy
Vince got us geeking out. He got photos of us taking photos.
Drew Franklin
Look at us.
Shannon
Look at me pointing. Now that's a great picture of us geeking out. That picture of all of us geeking out right there, that's kind of cool. Thank you to Vince for doing that. That's good.

All right, big news. Liquid IV's got something huge coming this February 8th. Have you heard about it? Yeah, you just told me a second ago. Fair enough. I'm guessing it has something to do with fighting dehydration. Speaking of, do you know seven potential signs of mild to moderate dehydration? There's thirst, obviously. And six more, right? Fatigue, brain fog, nausea, headaches, irritability. And there's one more that I can't remember. Does that mean I'm dehydrated? Maybe. But I think I'm dehydrated because you're irritating me right now. Then drink some Liquid iv. I like the sugar free raspberry lemonade, but mango pineapple is great, too. Liquid IV sugar free is the only sugar free hydration product on the market clinically demonstrated to hydrate faster than water alone. And there aren't any artificial sweeteners or colors. You gotta stay hydrated. Well, that's my crash course on dehydration. But no doubt Liquid IV will have something more to say on February 8. Anything else happening that day? I don't know. I'll have to check the calendar. Stay hydrated. Stock up on Liquid IV at liquid dash IV and use the code nuthouse for 20% off for a first time purchase.

Stockton Mortgage Representative
Welcome to the club.
Shannon
I just had my moment.
Billy
What was your moment?
Shannon
Seth Rollins just told me he recognized me from Wrestlers. He said, aren't you.
Drew Franklin
Look at him blushing, Billy.
Shannon
He said, aren't you the guy that. Aren't the guy that was in Wrestlers? And I was like, yes, I am Seth.
Billy
At least we know Seth Rollins.
Shannon
I'm the guy that had the seizure.
Drew Franklin
You didn't lead with that, did you?
Shannon
First thing I said. You feeling all right? No. Yeah. That was kind of cool.
Billy
You've gotten that a few times this week, right?
Shannon
Crazy. Probably gotten it more this week than I've gotten it since the show came out. Like, since the early few weeks of the show.
Stockton Mortgage Representative
Yeah.
Shannon
Yeah.
Billy
Bring some wrestlers.
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
Shannon
You're the guy from the.
Drew Franklin
You're very red right now.
Shannon
I mean, that was kind of. Come on. And I've been in those wrestling locker rooms. I didn't. They don't know me.
Drew Franklin
I'm just telling you. Welcome to the club. Billy met Gerald McCoy. I met parts of Derek Henry and then met Kyle Brandt. And now you're having your moment. Well, I mean, Mario met Stitch.
Shannon
It's just weird to think about. It's just weird to think that, like, they watched the. That show. Like, it doesn't feel, you know, it didn't feel real.
Drew Franklin
They have Netflix accounts just like us.
Shannon
Regular people, celebrities. They're just like us. Who's up next?
Billy
Daniel.
Shannon
Daniel, by the way, the new denim uniforms are out. You like them?
Drew Franklin
I do do. Looking pretty much exactly like the old ones. I love the. They do that different UK logo. It's like the throwback. I don't know how to describe it. Got the little basketball in there on the shorts. I love them.
Shannon
Yeah.
Drew Franklin
If I get my hands on something.
Shannon
I hope so, too. I like them. They. Then they look like we wanted them to. Right. With the. I think that was exactly what they were in 96.

Look great. All right, go ahead, Daniel.

Hey, Matt. The other day you talked about outdoor hockey. 75,000 hockey fans for Michigan State at Penn State. Last weekend, they built the hockey arena inside the football stadium at Penn State. That's a lot of people.
Shannon
Yeah, it was crazy. It was crazy to see all those people. And it was freezing cold. It was a. That was a very cool visual. We talked about it on the show, and I love moments like that. That's the kind of thing I would have loved to have been able to go to.
Caller or Guest (e.g., Ryan, Wendell, Steve, Mary)
Yeah, me too. I should have went. It's only like an hour from where I live. Oh, well, hopefully they'll have it again next year and I can try again. My other questions. Could you guys just comment on the bronze shoes that he wore in last night's game?
Shannon
Yeah. Very cool. Appreciate the call. LeBron wore custom UK LeBron 23 shoes with the UK logo on it last night for the Lakers game. That's got. That's an awesome surprise, right?
Billy
Yeah, that's cool. That's real. Recognizing real. I've said before, and I'll say again.
Drew Franklin
How about we don't say it again?
Shannon
That was. That was the widest thing I've ever.
Billy
Let's just remember who won the football contest.
Shannon
That was the widest.
Billy
The athletic event.
Shannon
That was realizing real. Like, literally.
Billy
Have you ever thrown a football before?
Drew Franklin
Don't deflect from what just happened.
Shannon
Listen, you won the. First of all, you won the football thing. Let's not act like your form was amazing.
Stockton Mortgage Representative
Oh, come on. Come on.
Shannon
Secondly, the first 40 didn't go in. It has nothing to do with that. Was real recognizing real. Hey, there's that one guy. You know who that is? That's the agent. When.

Covered this in hour one. But Malachi Moreno cheated a few hours ago. Kind of clamoring for a whiteout this Saturday. And so I shared it on KS4. Just kind of get some traction and share the word a little bit. I think nothing of it. Come back two hours later and I see that apparently fans have bullied him out of taking down the tweets, citing that we're Kentucky and we don't do that. Like, where are the rules of the ncaa? Does it say that Blue Bloods aren't.
Shannon
Well, first of all, nobody gets to say like the, the fan. Like fans don't get to say, we're Kentucky. We don't do it. A white out would be awesome. So, yes, if. If. I mean, I don't know if we're. If it's happening or not, but if it is happening, it would be awesome. And they don't get to say that it's not awesome. So if. Matt, you know, I don't know if. I don't know if Tech is gonna do a whiteout or not. If they're gonna do it, they need to announce it this afternoon. Afternoon. So fans have time to kind of to know and get it out. But I'd be for it. Kentucky's not above a white out. Kentucky's only thing we're above is storming the floor. But a white out would. Is. Is cool and we've done it in our history. So anybody that says we've never done it, they don't know what they're talking about. We've done it a number of times in our history.
Drew Franklin
Right.
Shannon
I totally agree. So, yeah, I appreciate it all. Do you agree with that?
Drew Franklin
I do. I don't know. It's. It's fun. That's part of it.
Shannon
Yeah, it's fun. Fun is like, this is supposed to be fun.
Drew Franklin
But he did. Mitch Malachi did delete the tweet. I just looked.
Shannon
I don't know why.
Drew Franklin
Looks like we're backing out of the whiteout.
Shannon
Well, it might have been the UK.
Drew Franklin
And we're doing it one later. I don't know.
Shannon
It may just been UK was like, well, we're not doing that. So why don't you take that down? Because. Because we're not doing it.
Drew Franklin
Well, it does take the collective effort. Like one player saying it isn't enough. It's gotta be behind it. Emails need to go out, needs to be on the ticket. Like, you really got to organize it.
Shannon
Yeah. All right. Kentucky and Tennessee. Do we know what the spread is? I'm going to guess Kentucky by. I'm going to say Kentucky by like one and a half.
Drew Franklin
That's exactly what I was going to say.
Shannon
Is it Kentucky one and a half?
Drew Franklin
Let's see if we have one yet.
Shannon
All right, while you're looking, you go to DraftKings. Bet five you can win 300 at DraftKings.
Drew Franklin
Look at us knowing ball.
Shannon
Is it one and a half?
Drew Franklin
One and a half.
Shannon
Look at us. DK Ambassadors. They're getting it right. One and a half feels right. Our pregame show will start tomorrow at 6. They'll be live from KSBAR, Cats and the Vols. Shannon, I'll let you go first. What do you think's gonna happen?
Billy
I think it's gonna be a good game, but I think Kentucky pulls it out of the end. So give me Kentucky.
Shannon
Kentucky will score.
Billy
I'll go 78, 75.
Shannon
All right, Billy.
Billy
I'm gonna go Kentucky too. I think they sweep them in the regular season like last year. I'm gonna go Kentucky 82, Tennessee 78.
Drew Franklin
I think we'll be in for a Little Rock fight. And Kentucky pulls away at the very end to win 77, 71. But it's much closer the rest of the way.

Before a little separation, our mind was melded right there. I. I initially picked Tennessee, but I can't go into Kentucky. Tennessee game. Picking Tennessee for the second time in the year. So I'm going to go Kentucky 76, 71. And I'll get the Cats winning. So there we go. How about that? Mario's out on the street. They will not let him in. He's looking through the window like a little child. They'll never be a show that had more hall of Famers if not on walking by.
