nmlsconsumeraccess.org welcome to hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.
Callers
Welcome back.
Shannon Dawson
Our number two Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. We were just having a conversation about how Drew, you know, some people, some people have new have kids and they're like, oh, you don't see them for a while.
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
Shannon Dawson
Like they don't leave their house and they become like, you know, like you see them again like two years and Drew is already like Drew's talking about like going to poker night.
Matt Jones
We have been going tonight and bringing the baby's first bingo tonight. I'm excited.
Drew Franklin
Are they still smoking bingo halls?
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, going to smoke Avery. It's nice having you, but you ain't messing up poker night here.
Drew Franklin
Second smoke.
Matt Jones
My thought with bingo is you get two cards per person and I'll get her to play. So I'm kind of doubling my odds
Shannon Dawson
tonight, which then led me to think about I have these friends, Shannon, that that their baby. I don't know how it was. It was less than a year and they met me in Europe when I went to Europe a couple years ago. And it just occurred to me last night in talking to a friend of mine, I was Like, I wonder, did they get the baby a passport? Because like, you can't just get on a plane with an unmarked baby. I would think you at the border,
Matt Jones
it's one of your carry on items
Shannon Dawson
if you're just carrying on babies. But then it's kind of weird to think of a baby getting a passport, right? Yeah, like, like they go sit up, turn to the right, don't smile, don't smile, look in the camera, baby. And then you know you have passports for 10 years. When the baby is 8. Is it still showing the baby passport?
Matt Jones
Yeah, I think so.
Shannon Dawson
Unless you update when you get to the TSA agent. How does the TSA agent know it's the right baby?
Drew Franklin
Facial, facial, Facial recognition technology.
Shannon Dawson
They all look, oh, there's a passport with a baby.
Matt Jones
There's an example.
Shannon Dawson
Creepy.
Matt Jones
It is. Expires like 10 years later.
Shannon Dawson
So yeah. Can you imagine an 11 year old just with a baby picture and going, here, let me, like, why do you
Drew Franklin
have your baby picture? Can I take my baby picture in there and get, get a passport with it?
Shannon Dawson
Well, I mean, it lasts for 10 years in theory.
Drew Franklin
It's been a while. So I just said, you know, these
Shannon Dawson
are just little things that you don't. That I had never thought about. All right, I want to go over a couple of things. I want to play it before I'm going to go right back to phones for polite. Matt. But there's a couple of time sensitive things I want to play. Is this fair? Okay, normally we have three judges. Today we just have two. Drew and Shannon. Is this fair? A lot of you are probably paying attention. There's a primary election in Nebraska today.
Matt Jones
Oh, man. Up all night thinking about it.
Shannon Dawson
So let me give you the standards real quick because there's two candidates in that both that people think both might be unfair. And you have to decide, is this fair? The Republicans have the guy, that's the senator, he's running. He'll have the Republican nomination. There's a guy who's running against him who has a real shot to win in the general election. He's an independent. Being a Democrat in Nebraska is like not the most popular thing in the world. So he's running as an independent. And Shannon, he has a real chance. Former military guy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So the Democrats are in a weird spot. If they run somebody for real, it'll take away votes from this guy Shannon, and they'd rather that guy win, you see what I'm saying, than the Republican.
Drew Franklin
Yep.
Shannon Dawson
So both parties are doing something a Little suspect. And I want to see if you all think it's fair. The Democrats are running a person who has said, elect me the primary nominee and then I'll drop out.
Matt Jones
Oh, like tanking.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, elect me the primary nominee and I'll drop out so the independent can win. All right. The Republicans seen that this was probably going to work, have run a person who's a far right wing Republican as a Democrat, hoping they get the nomination so they have to stay in and in theory take away votes from the independent. See what I'm saying? Yeah, I'm with you. So is it fair for neither of these candidates who really have any intention of wanting to be the senator to run?
Matt Jones
I'm saying no. I already think for both of them or one of them, the running someone intentionally to just quit. I'm a hard no on that. I already think a lot of politics, it's a clown show and people aren't serious and doing the right thing anyway. And that just adds.
Shannon Dawson
What if they say up front I'm going to quit?
Drew Franklin
That's stupid. That's where they made their mistake. Why say that?
Shannon Dawson
Because the theory is that the Democrats in Nebraska will know what she's doing.
Drew Franklin
They would just.
Matt Jones
Just have an election.
Shannon Dawson
What about the guy who's running for the other party just to sabotage it?
Matt Jones
I give him a little more leniency because the. The other side is being shady first. It's almost like a response to what
Shannon Dawson
they both did at the same time. I don't think it was.
Matt Jones
Well, I don't love either way.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, I don't know which one was okay actually. So I'm not sure which one was.
Matt Jones
Well, I would say both are unfair and silly.
Shannon Dawson
All right. What about you, Shane?
Drew Franklin
Yeah, I kind of agree with them. Yeah, I don't think that either one of them are fair if they're announcing that they're going to tank Now. Do you have to run somebody in your party? Can you just say that we don't want to run anybody?
Shannon Dawson
Well, that's what the Democrats were going to do, but then they heard that this wing guy was going to do it. We can't have him because then they're worried that somebody will show up at the poll and be like, I always vote Democrat and they'll vote for this guy, but he's actually not even a Democrat.
Matt Jones
The other people that just check.
Shannon Dawson
The people who just check our box.
Drew Franklin
Well, if you're going to.
Shannon Dawson
But if the woman runs and then drops out, then the ballot can be empty.
Drew Franklin
If it's Unfair on one side, it's got to be unfair on the other.
Shannon Dawson
So you think both of them are out.
Drew Franklin
Out. You've already announced that you're trying to sabotage today.
Shannon Dawson
One of these two people is probably going to win. And neither one of them has any intention of wanting to be if they
Drew Franklin
didn't announce, which is hilarious, you know, once you announced you're gonna intentionally sabotage it, you can't be in it.
Shannon Dawson
Oh, so you're saying if they were just sneaky about it, you'd be fine.
Drew Franklin
Why would you say, yeah, hey, I'm just gonna.
Shannon Dawson
I'll update you tomorrow on which of the two people that didn't want to win.
Drew Franklin
Please do.
Shannon Dawson
Ended up winning. Because you know what they say, somebody has to win.
Callers
Right?
Shannon Dawson
All right, next, is it fair? UK baseball. UK baseball was supposed to play Northern Kentucky today. So here's the UK baseball situation. They are firmly on the bubble. They play Arkansas this weekend at home. Most of the prognosticators say if UK wins the series against Arkansas, they'll probably sneak in. If they lose, they probably will sneak out. Everything is on the line at Arkansas. They play Northern Kentucky today. Northern Kentucky stinks. If they beat Northern Kentucky, they'll get no credit for it. But if they lose, might hurt them.
Matt Jones
Nail in the coffin if they lose, probably potentially.
Shannon Dawson
They went to Florida. The game was delayed on Saturday night to late. Then it had to play early. Then they had Trump flight troubles, all this stuff. They finally got home at like midnight Sunday night. Yesterday, they canceled the Northern Kentucky game. After they announce it, the NCAA puts out a letter that says, if you cancel games, we're going to use that against you. Now, they didn't say Kentucky, but, you know, came out a few hours later. Fair or unfair to Kentucky to cancel their Northern Kentucky game to focus on the Arkansas. All serious.
Matt Jones
I'm going to say unfair, but I'm also going to say I'm all right with it just because it's my team.
Shannon Dawson
Okay, here's my objectively unfair. But you're good with it.
Matt Jones
Yeah, because I ride with my team. I will say I had this thought, like, it's not a great look, but once the Arkansas series starts and maybe you get in the tournament, no one is even going to ever think of canceling that game. We'll forget about it by next week if they're in the tournament. Yeah, so just eat the criticism.
Shannon Dawson
It did go viral in the college baseball world. People were. And then, Shannon, what if they, like, win two of three against Arkansas and don't get in do you think people will point to the fact that they didn't play this game? Did send out that letter?
Drew Franklin
Yeah. Unfair, bad. Look, if you don't like it, don't schedule the game there at the end of the season where that's even a possibility. So if I'm Kentucky, I'm going to go out and like get the sprinkler system, you know, working. Take an axe, take an A. I'm going to flood my field. So there's a rain out that you
Shannon Dawson
and I are on the same now.
Drew Franklin
We can't play the game. We can't play the. Sorry.
Shannon Dawson
The letter said if you don't play it for non weather related reasons, don't you have to just fake a problem?
Matt Jones
Yes, Cal Ripkin. It powers out.
Shannon Dawson
Yes, Cal Ripken. We were ready to go. No, well that's fine.
Drew Franklin
We'll play it at one o' clock today then. Now what are you going to do?
Shannon Dawson
They're not here yet.
Matt Jones
Yeah, they're so far away up there in northern Kentucky.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, we call them at 10:30 and go where are you? This game was flights, the field is flooded.
Drew Franklin
Then there's nothing we can do about it. You know, it's. It doesn't matter what time of day it is.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, it's a little suspect to me.
Matt Jones
It is.
Shannon Dawson
I feel like if you're going to schedule a game you need to play it. Yeah.
Matt Jones
I think the biggest issue is why even have the. Why is this on the schedule? Because the Arkansas series earlier, it starts
Shannon Dawson
Thursday, thought that they would need to win this series to make the tournament. I mean I think if this wasn't a must win series they'd probably go ahead and play the game.
Matt Jones
They said it was general last, last week of the season. You need the non conference.
Shannon Dawson
You know what mutual is? Write them a check and go say this is mutual.
Drew Franklin
Yeah, I know. Like I'm wondering like why does Northern Kentucky not want to play the game? I would want to play the game if I'm Northern, probably to keep goodwill
Shannon Dawson
and to get to play them in future years and stuff like that. That would be my guess. If Northern made a big deal about it, they might be like, well we're never playing you again.
Matt Jones
Well you're just like in general teams need this non conference game this week. I mean the series with Arkansas starts Thursday. It's a day earlier, it's the last week of the season. I mean why are you playing a team like that anyway?
Shannon Dawson
I'm kind of with you. I think it's a bad call. I think it looks bad, but we got to make the tournament. But if we don't, if we win two of three against Arkansas and then don't make the tournament, this will, like. There'll be a lot of criticism for
Matt Jones
this decision, but you could say maybe we don't win two of three if we hadn't taken that day off.
Shannon Dawson
Nobody know. Nobody knows. You're exactly right. Nico, go ahead. Nico.
Callers
Hey, how are you? I'm just calling in to ask the basketball question. That's okay.
Shannon Dawson
Go for it.
Callers
So I was just curious, for guys like Milan, are we. Like, when is the last day he's able to kind of make his decision on if he's gonna stay in the draft?
Shannon Dawson
Drew said earlier. May 20th. May 27th. May 27th. And then, you know, he can take, I think, as long as he wants to decide where he's going to school. I think start next year. You have to decide where you're going by, like, June 1st, but I don't think that's in place yet.
Callers
Okay, and then what is. What do you think our chances are of real. Of getting him? Like, realistically?
Shannon Dawson
I honestly don't know. I mean, I appreciate the call. I think. I think. I think there's a pot of money that's still out there to get potentially, but. But I don't know if there's a. I mean, there's a spot for him if he wants to come, but we already have four big guys. I don't know. I. There are people who think that it can happen. I have not heard that, but I. You know, it'd be great to have him, but when they got the guy from. From Cameroon, I kind of thought, well, they don't think they're going to get Milan or. Because otherwise you're going to have five guys who expect to play two spots.
Matt Jones
We can be a tall wing. He played the three a lot at Iowa State. And do you think he could play the third? I think Kentucky has money aside just looking at rosters and what they can offer him. Pope said yesterday in his video he wants to take 33 a game right now. I don't know who's taking those.
Shannon Dawson
He did say that.
Matt Jones
You tell me, Lon, like, come take
Shannon Dawson
10 of them if you want that when he said that, I believe he
Matt Jones
wants to, but looking at the roster, I don't know who's shooting them. You can go to mom Silovich and be like, you want 10 threes a game? I'll give them to you.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah.
Drew Franklin
No, I don't believe we'll see that for two seasons.
Shannon Dawson
To believe him. That's a little bit like when John Caliper used to always say, we're going to start speeding up the tempo and stuff. Like you. He would say that and it would never happen.
Matt Jones
Part of me worries he's going to leave the draft. We're going to be the name all the way up till the very end. And then we're all. Which we're just going to get punched in the stomach again.
Shannon Dawson
Tj. Go ahead, TJ.
Caller Nurse
Hey, Matt. One, babies do get passports. A friend of mine a few years ago, they have to like throw a sheet over the parent and they hold the baby to take the picture.
Shannon Dawson
Has a sheet over them and then they hold the baby.
Caller Nurse
Yeah.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah. That's actually cool. I didn't know that.
Caller Nurse
Yeah. Two, I am the nurse and I'm calling to take up for myself.
Shannon Dawson
Okay.
Caller Nurse
I. I'm the one who won the smackdown tickets. I don't know if he wanted me to be in a patient's house taking care of them when I called, but I think that's frowned upon also. Also, this past week was nurses week and I do appreciate that very much.
Callers
Matt and I have a little boy
Shannon Dawson
that is very Matt. Polite Matt not only gave you the tickets, I was willing to give him the tickets if we have them. We're still waiting.
Caller Nurse
I know. That's wonderful. And I didn't just steal him from a little girl. My little boy's doing.
Shannon Dawson
He's stealing from a little girl.
Matt Jones
You can't do. Wow.
Callers
Yeah.
Shannon Dawson
You can't do that. So I hope you enjoy smackdown. It's the 22nd. Is your little girl excited?
Caller Nurse
Oh, it's my. It's my little boy. I said I was your little boy. Oh, yeah, Listen, he does a really good stone cold impression, too. He is so excited. He loves wrestling. Cody Rose. He's gonn.
Matt Jones
Is he nearby? Let's hear it.
Shannon Dawson
Is he there?
Caller Nurse
He's. He's. He's not. Because I'm working.
Shannon Dawson
All right, well, listen, thank you very much. And. And I'm. And then thank you. You. It's good you took up for yourself. Okay.
Caller Nurse
Awesome. Thank you.
Shannon Dawson
Appreciate it.
Matt Jones
Hard to beat the allegations when she said she's working right now. Calling in. That's kind of what the guy said.
Shannon Dawson
Polite Matt says that I hope she and her son have a wonderful time. Just like I had a wonderful time Friday at Don Franklin.
Matt Jones
Oh, it was a great time.
Shannon Dawson

I think this is it. You remember this song? And we played this one, Alice Bluegown.
Shannon Dawson
Everybody knows the world is full of stupid people, Right?
Callers
Yep.
Matt Jones
Yeah.
Shannon Dawson
Seemed Polite Matt would never believe that.
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
Shannon Dawson
I don't know.
Drew Franklin
I don't think you think everybody's wonderful.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, I do. So Kentucky's not the only team, by the way, that is cancel games. Virginia Tech and Ohio State have as well. And it happened. I think it happened last year. I don't. It wasn't Kentucky. There was some team that did this last year, and it was very controversial.
Drew Franklin
This made Billy very upset on the pre.
Shannon Dawson
Billy had the hottest take.
Drew Franklin
Yeah. He said, you can't just stop canceling games.
Shannon Dawson
He was like. I was like, whoa. That's kind of how the idea, by the way, of Polite Matt came up was I was listening to how angry Billy was.
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
Shannon Dawson
And I was like, speaking of that, I'm not gonna say what it is. And. And he has already changed it. Okay. So that's why I can say that he's already changed it. But Billy showed me how to do something in here, and he said to use his password. And his password was Ebola. Why would he make his password Ebola? Like, what. What is the scenario where you're like, you know what? I want my password to be Ebola.
Matt Jones
Numbers.
Shannon Dawson
No numbers. Also not a good password. There are no capital Letters. There are no numbers. There are no symbols.
Drew Franklin
I wasn't going to tell you, but my password is actually chickenpox. And before that it was dysentery.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, syphilis. And I always thought it was normal.
Matt Jones
A capital better.
Drew Franklin
Simple as one exclamation mark.
Shannon Dawson
It's also only five letters.
Matt Jones
Yeah, that would get turned down on most websites. Not strong enough.
Shannon Dawson
You can't even get into Yahoo with Ebola.
Drew Franklin
Chlamydia. 1, 2, 3.
Matt Jones
I wouldn't have admitted that. I would have just leaned over you and be like. Let me type this in real quick.
Shannon Dawson
Ebola is the worst. It's the worst password I've ever heard in my life. But, you know, whatever you want, Billy. Sean from Austin. Go ahead. Sean.
Callers
Yeah, for polite. Matt, if somebody, you know, was in your. On your new rug there and they had a little Ebola or they spilled some coffee or something on that. I was in my undergrad. I was a carpet cleaner, but myself. Okay, just get yourself a squirt bottle with like half water, half pine Sol, and just squirt some water on the stain. Let it sit.
Shannon Dawson
Why do I do half pine Sol, half water? Why not just all?
Callers
Well, because you don. Well, because the. The next step is you're gonna have to get yourself this thing they call a spot extractor. It's like a little mini vacuum. Yeah, yeah, but. But if you put straight pine, solid will get all bubbly, so. But yeah, that's a little tip there for polite. Matt and his expensive rock.
Shannon Dawson
All right, good stuff. Thank you. I had no. I didn't know about any of this.
Matt Jones
Well, this help you're getting, how long.
Shannon Dawson
I appreciate the call. How long do you have to do that? I assume you gotta do that quickly, like you were in here scrubbing your T shirt.
Matt Jones
Yeah, this looks awful. Now I'm in trouble today. This is worse than. Yeah, you.
Shannon Dawson
You had two tiny drops of coffee and now it looks like your nipple is leaking.
Callers
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Who's. Who's breastfeeding the baby? Me or Abby? Looks like it might be me with this shirt.
Shannon Dawson
Why did you think that was better? That's much better.
Matt Jones
Well, I thought just here with you to be fine. I'm hoping, because I'm going somewhere immediately after this. Downtown. I'm hoping it dries in the next 30 minutes. If it doesn't, we have problems. It's awful. Okay, Mario, put the phone down.
Callers
Dammit.
Matt Jones
Get that out. Give me some privacy, please.
Shannon Dawson
It's really awful.
Matt Jones
I know it is, but I'm hoping that it dries before I leave this
Shannon Dawson
room, coffee stain, and you've turned it into a big blotch of water. I know.
Matt Jones
I'm just here with you two. I thought you two would ignore it a little bit. And now Mario's got his phone up in my breasts.
Shannon Dawson
What? Mario does? Noah. Go ahead, Noah.
Callers
Hey, Matt. This is Wednesday. Noah. Thank you guys for taking my call. Appreciate it.
Shannon Dawson
Of course.
Callers
I got two things. Yeah, I got two things for you here. First off is for Drew specifically. I just. I know I'm already late to the party with saying this, but first off, congratulations. And secondly, you really just stepped into the absolute most number one job in the world of being a girl. Dad. Specifically, my wife and I just had our first girl three months ago, and I. I'm telling you, I'm surprised. I do not cry. I'm surprised. I don't cry every single day. Just with the steps of just seeing what the. The beauty of having it.
Shannon Dawson
You and I couldn't understand.
Drew Franklin
Yeah, I know.
Shannon Dawson
Like, it's impossible. All of a sudden, this show is becoming segregated by babiness.
Caller Nurse
That's right.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, right.
Drew Franklin
Everybody's like, oh, you should get a baby.
Shannon Dawson
You don't understand what's. What Drew is going on. Here's what I know about Drew. Big water puddles next to his nipple, and now he does.
Callers
Oh, my goodness.
Matt Jones
Congrats to you too. No, I know we talked about it before.
Callers
Thank you. I appreciate it secularly for it, man. I remember last week, caller had a question for you guys about asking, like, if you had 24 hours that you could have any athletic. Athletic superpower.
Shannon Dawson
Oh, yeah. We never answered.
Callers
You're doing it over the break, and we never answered it. Yeah. So I was curious to know what you guys.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, that's a good. I appreciate the call. We didn't get to it. I. I decided I thought about mine later. I would want to be able. And we're talking about realistic athletic super power, not, like, you know, fly. And I decided I would like to, for 24 hours, be able to run, like, Usain Bolt. I just think it would be.
Matt Jones
Where'd you go?
Shannon Dawson
I just race people
Matt Jones
take a bunch of Ambien that morning and go out and race.
Shannon Dawson
People love to, like, look like I do, and people be like. And I just go up to people. I'd go to people that I assume would think they're faster than me and go, you want to race some of this? And then just shock them. Don't you think that would be good?
Matt Jones
That'd be pretty fun. I didn't consider being a track star.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah. So I think that's the one I would pick. What would you pick, Shannon?
Drew Franklin
I would like to be able to hit a baseball like Barry Bonds on steroids, to be able to hit it
Shannon Dawson
out of the park.
Drew Franklin
Just go take batting practice.
Shannon Dawson
So you're just gonna like join a
Drew Franklin
major league baseball team for one day.
Shannon Dawson
Let you do that? Like, they're not going to let you go do that. So like what I'm saying, like, if it's just you have the superpower, you got to think of one you can use.
Drew Franklin
Okay. I want to be able to punch like Mike Tyson in his prime. I'm just going to go knock people out on.
Shannon Dawson
Go up and ask people. Just knock people out.
Matt Jones
You're going to go to prison.
Shannon Dawson
Okay. So you're going to get an assault charge. People are going to be like, he is just for 24 hours walked around and just beat people up.
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
Shannon Dawson
Okay. What about you?
Matt Jones
I wish it were for more than a day, but I think I would still be able to hit a golf ball like Tiger woods and go play around the golf and just see how that feels.
Shannon Dawson
I think that would be my second choice is what would it be like to go just be to hit every shot I want to hit and go with no error, just perfectly. Just perfectly. That would be, I think. But the thing is with that I can do one shot, you know what I mean? Like take Tiger's best putties ever hit. I could hit it once.
Matt Jones
Yeah. I've already had that feeling one time.
Shannon Dawson
I'll never be able to have that sprinting feeling, you know, that's why I
Matt Jones
was a little hesitant to say it. And it's just like a one off maybe my backup was being able to try to think of like one of the best dunkers, being able to jump like that just to see what that feels like.
Shannon Dawson
Go to Rucker park one day looking like you pulling off all the dunkers, just dunking on everybody.
Matt Jones
That'd be pretty fun.
Shannon Dawson
That would be fun. I agree with you. That would also be fun. 859-280-2287. We got to talk about. Well, I'll save it. We'll be right back. Kentucky Sports Radio.
iHeart Advertising Advertiser
TJ Smith, personal injury attorney.
Shannon Dawson
Call tj.
Drew Franklin
He'll make him pay. Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.
Shannon Dawson
Welcome back, Tucky Sports Radio. Well, the news. Guess who's back in the news. Lane Kiffin. Oh, yes, he is. It has led to one of the more fascinating arguments I've seen on the Internet in a long time Ole Miss vs. LSU fans on who is the least racist. They are literally Ole Miss and LSU fans going, no, we're more progressive than you.
Matt Jones
No, we are pulling out stats.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, it's crazy. So here's what Lane Kiffin said. He said he left. First of all, this is nonsense. This is not why Lane Kiffin went to lsu, okay? I don't care what he says. He lies. Like, he's like back when I used to say about Rick Patino, he was the lioness liar that ever lied. Lane Kiffin's giving him a run for his money. He said that he left LSU because in part, it was hard for Ole Miss to struggle to distance itself from symbols like the Confederate flag, Colonel Rebel, and the nickname Ole Miss. Quote, parents would come up to me and say, hey, coach, we really, really like you, but my grandparents aren't letting me move to Oxford, Mississippi. That doesn't come up when you say Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Parents were sitting here this weekend saying the campuses diversity feels so great. It feels like there's no segregation. So that went over really well. And oh, where he already was. Hated him. And now he's like, yeah, it was hard for me to get players there because people thought you were racist. You know, I mean, there's so many different ways you could go. Ole Miss then comes back and we're like, we have more black students than any other school in the sec, which apparently is true. But either way, you know, they go to Ole Miss this year.
Matt Jones
Oh, I was already so excited about that.
Shannon Dawson
I mean, Shannon, will there be a more hostile environment?
Callers
No.
Drew Franklin
Nobody believes that he left. Nobody believes he left because of that. He left because of the money.
Shannon Dawson
He left because of the money. Yeah, but why throw that in on the way out the door?
Matt Jones
He's really trying to burn it down.
Shannon Dawson
You all were racist. Like, that's what a thing to say on the way out the door. And it's not like, by the way, he moved to Berkeley, California. He moved to Baton Rouge.
Matt Jones
The origins of the LSU Tigers.
Shannon Dawson
I didn't know that until this.
Matt Jones
I didn't either know.
Shannon Dawson
I did not know the origins of the name LSU Tigers goes back to a Confederate army.
Matt Jones
Like a real mean one.
Shannon Dawson
Not the. Yeah, like the worst terrible one. Yeah, I had no idea about that, Shannon. So at least I learned some history from this.
Drew Franklin
I had no idea about that either. I think he's just still mad that they put all of his stuff, like from his. His office out on the street when they Moved him out. Remember that Lincoln?
Shannon Dawson
Remember that? Put his clothes out on the street like he had cheated. Like a wife that had had her husband cheated on the pile.
Matt Jones
Has there anyone that's left? Places, more circumstances link. Everywhere he goes, he just burns down the place behind him as best he can. I mean, Tennessee threw mustard at him. They did Ole Miss, they're gonna have to put him in like a glass
Shannon Dawson
box on the sideline they got. They are gonna actually have to be careful. Right? I would like to go just to be there. Then Ole Miss is like, okay, well, we've gotten over the fact that our coach just called us racist. Then later in the day, Steve Sarkeesian, coach at Texas, was asked about recruiting. He said, it's actually a little harder here at Texas because Texas is university rules are when you transfer in, you only get credit for half of your credits from the other school. He said, it's not like when you go to Ole Miss, he just brings
Drew Franklin
up Ole Miss just getting pounded out.
Shannon Dawson
It's not like when you go to Ole Miss and you can graduate for basket weaving.
Matt Jones
Old Mrs. Just sitting there.
Shannon Dawson
What are you talking about me? For strays, like, they get called racist and stupid in the same day.
Drew Franklin
They're the punching bag of the SEC this week.
Shannon Dawson
Unbelievable. Ole Miss is like, what did I do to you, Steve Sarkeesian?
Matt Jones
That was a rough day there.
Shannon Dawson
Wow.
Matt Jones
September 19th is the lane Kiffin return. I'm so excited.
Shannon Dawson
The lowest rated school in the SEC academically. So I guess at least that has some connection, you know, to reality. I used to always wonder about Ole Miss, how they got players back when they had the fans all with the confederate flag. And I bet it did hurt him back then. But they don't do that anymore.
Matt Jones
They've cleaned that up. They went, got a shark mascot.
Shannon Dawson
They got rid of Colonel Reb and they put a shark.
Matt Jones
I don't know. Still don't really know the shark angle.
Shannon Dawson
Katy Perry, because he went. She went there. Remember the shark.
Matt Jones
Oh, from the Super Bowl.
Shannon Dawson
And Super Bowl.
Matt Jones
You rarely like with. Okay, Lane Kiffin was coming from Ole Miss. He shouldn't have said it, but at least you don't understand why he's talking about it. Steve Sarkeesian just randomly throwing strays.
Shannon Dawson
What's the school I can think of that produces the stupidest people?
Matt Jones
You barely hear coaches name another school when they're talking about something like, so
Shannon Dawson
tough day to be a Ole Miss fan. Austin. Go ahead, Austin.
Callers
Hey, Matt, thanks for taking my call. Really liking the glass half full mentality. That you got going on today?
Shannon Dawson
Well, it's more just like.
Callers
Well, it works for you.
Shannon Dawson
Okay.
Callers
To get to the bat, to get to the basketball. So we were 79th ranked in transfer portal rankings. That is 16 out of 16 schools. Or 95th in high school ranking, which is 14 out of 16. I know. Facts are optional on KSR.
Drew Franklin
Is that true?
Shannon Dawson
Is that true? That is.
Callers
Yes. Yes. That's on three.
Shannon Dawson
We are ranked 16 out of 16 in the transfer portal in the S. Yes.
Callers
And then that's based off of. On threes recruiting rankings for both. And. And all of our rivals are ahead of us in both categories. So I. I definitely think the facts are there that we do need a gm And I hope. Hope. I hope he kind of, you know, goes towards that direction. Good luck with the rug. Thanks. Go cats.
Shannon Dawson
Appreciate the call. That really surprises me because you did get two top 30 guys.
Matt Jones
LSU has, like, two players.
Shannon Dawson
Huh. Wonder why that is.
Matt Jones
Well, one argue you can make is most teams are done, and hopefully we're not. So that could change a lot of teams.
Shannon Dawson
16th. We're behind Vanderbilt. Yeah.
Matt Jones
We're 79th, I think, in the country.
Drew Franklin
Wow.
Shannon Dawson
I didn't realize that. Matt. Go ahead, Matt.
Callers
What's. What's up, guys? I'm out in my garden barefooted on this beautiful day in Highland, Kentucky, and I was just talking to my buddy Jay Crawford. Like, do you remember him on ESPN did cold pizza.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah. Because he did WKY or WYMT for a while.
Callers
Yes, yes, yes, yes. He's like family. Well, anyways, we was trying to think of a good trivia question for you to represent what the fans are going through with the upcoming season. Well, he couldn't give me a good one, but my guy Donovan at work. Shout out Donovan. Yes. There's been five teams that have started the season unranked and won the national championship. Can you name them? Y' all have a blessed day.
Shannon Dawson
I mean, you can't get off. I won't know the answer. If you don't. If you don't. So hang on. One Yukon in 2014. Is that one of them? He got off.
Matt Jones
I think Hurley got one. Hurley. I don't think they were ranked for one of his start the year. His first one.
Shannon Dawson
I don't think I want to say maybe Florida's first title. The next year they were number one. But I think going into that year, they might not have been ranked. I have no idea. That's a good question. I mean, I would really have to sit and think about 85. Villanova maybe, but I would really have to think about that, and I'll never know the answer because you hung up. Michael.
Matt Jones
I want to add one thing on the transfer portal rankings, too. To make it clear.
Stockton Mortgage Advertiser
It.
Matt Jones
It factors in your outgoing as well. Oh, so it's like a score based
Shannon Dawson
on up and down score. Okay, well, now that makes more sense to me. Okay, gotcha, Michael. Go ahead, Michael.
Callers
I just wanted to. Got a couple questions and. Oh, I got a little game.
Shannon Dawson
Well, you got to do one polite.
Callers
Okay, one thing little game for you. If you're having Ryan go out and eat by himself for a while, how about Monday through Thursday in the evening, after you're done with everything, you go over and help Drew parent. And maybe you can get a little bit more appreciative.
Shannon Dawson
The thing is, like, you have to
Callers
say the knot to deal with the crime baby, too.
Shannon Dawson
But people keep saying things like that to me, and they're like, you should offer to do this for Drew, or you should, like, I think Drew loves me. I think Drew is one of my best friends. But Drew also, I don't think. I think he understands my strengths, and he also understands my weaknesses. And I think he doesn't. I don't think he's excited about giving, you know, oversight of his child to me. Am I correct?
Matt Jones
Well, I'll also say it's not just you. We don't really want anyone coming over during the chaotic evenings. Even, like, we, like when family stops by. But, like, we're not trying to host parties while we're dealing with a four week old.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, yeah. So I.
Matt Jones
It can be a little hectic at night. We don't need additional people.
Shannon Dawson
I also think like. Like, we treat some things on this show like it's like a game. Like a reality show. I'm not sure, Shannon. Four week olds are the way to, like, do experiments.
Drew Franklin
No, no. Who doesn't want us over there? Yeah, I don't blame them. Wouldn't either.
Matt Jones
Now, if you want to come mow outside while I'm inside.
Shannon Dawson
Dylan, that's not going to happen. But I would be glad to come
Drew Franklin
and mow his lawn.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, I'm not gonna come mow your lawn. Yeah, but I would be glad to, like, come. I'll bring you. You all dinner or whatnot.
Matt Jones
That'd be great. My landscaping's way behind. I've been meaning to do that, but we've just been pretty awkward.
Shannon Dawson
That's what I'll do. I'll bring you dinner one night so you all don't have to worry about it.
Matt Jones
Not the landscaping.
Drew Franklin
There's a shovel.
Matt Jones
I'll buy the mulch.
Shannon Dawson
I mean, I. I don't know those things. Our friends at Cornbread Hemp have something new on the shelves. This one's a little different. It's the Cornbread sp Brits, the first non infused drink. It's USDA organic, alcohol free. It's crafted with botanicals like. Okay. L theanine left. What is that?
Drew Franklin
Shannon, I don't know what you're looking at. I'd have to look at it.
Shannon Dawson
L T H E A N I N E. It has that lemon balm.
Matt Jones
Billy's other password.
Shannon Dawson
Passion flower. Ooh, that sounds fun. They come in four cocktail inspired flavors. Margarita, mimosa, cherry, lime, and blue lemonade. And they all have less than 30 calories. It's infused seltzers, but alcohol free. It's exciting. Get the Spritz variety pack free if you order 75 or more from cornbreadhip.com so you can do your normal Cornbread Hemp order and they'll throw in the Spritz seltzers with lemon balm, passion flower and Lithianan.
Matt Jones
I gotta try this. Lithian. Lithianan.
Drew Franklin
Theonin.
Shannon Dawson
What is it?
Drew Franklin
What is it? It's something that's in the Cornbread Hemp.
Shannon Dawson
All right, go to cornbread.com promo code KSR. Maybe I'll ask him to bring that and you can take some of my 75.
Matt Jones
I would love to.
Shannon Dawson
Seltzers. Take a break.
Callers
Period.
Shannon Dawson

Drew Franklin
That's not very nice Polite day.
Matt Jones
When are you leaving?
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, normally I would have it scheduled now, but for reasons that I'll talk about later in the summer I I'm still waiting to hear on a date of something and so like we haven't been able to. So we're taking, like, one week off, I think June 15, and then maybe the week of Billy's wedding, and then. But it's just not. I was going to take another trip and go away for, like, to Europe, but, like, it just hasn't been able to work out. So that's the way. That's the way it goes. We were pretty good at our guests there, how to do. Well. We. It was the Yukon team. You mentioned the Yukon team. I mentioned Florida Villanova. We got four of the five off the top of our head.
Matt Jones
Bunch of ball numbers over here.
Shannon Dawson
That's pretty good. The only one we didn't get was Carmel Anthony's Syracuse thing.
Matt Jones
Yeah. Wouldn't have gotten here all day, but that's pretty good.
Shannon Dawson
Then if you go way back, there were more. But, like, since 1970, those are the ones that. But it was on, so that's pretty good. 859-280-2287 1. One quick thing, and I want to see what you thought of this. The Ray Davis, they're gonna make a movie about his life, which is kind of. Which is cool, right? You know, he's. He was, I guess an orphan that then made it to his career. And they're gonna do a movie about his life that focuses on his rise from. In childhood and then his time in college and pro football. Which means, Shannon, we have to have someone to play Mark Stoops.
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
Shannon Dawson
Someone to play Vince Merrow. Because Vince is the one that brought him here and Mark was the coach. So what actors play Mark Stoops and Vince Merrow in the Ray Davis Story?
Drew Franklin
I think I got Vince Merrow.
Shannon Dawson
Who is it?
Drew Franklin
Forest Whitaker.
Shannon Dawson
Oh, wow.
Drew Franklin
Where'd you pull that from the top?
Shannon Dawson
Whitaker? Yeah, I was gonna say ving Rhames. Oh. But is that giving Vince too much credit?
Matt Jones
Yeah, Ving raises.
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
Shannon Dawson
Forest Whitaker, that's. You got it. I can't beat Forest Whitaker.
Matt Jones
I've got Stoops.
Shannon Dawson
Stoops.
Matt Jones
Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Shannon Dawson
He's dead.
Matt Jones
Ouch.
Shannon Dawson
Sorry. For seymour Hoffman for 20 years. Well, we have. AI committed suicide. Maybe 20, but he committed suicide.
Matt Jones
Shannon, cut that out. I forgot about that. Just thinking what he looked at. Looks like he came to my mind first. All right. Paul Giamatti.
Drew Franklin
You sure you don't want Robin Williams?
Shannon Dawson
You know, Paul Giamatti?
Matt Jones
Those were the two that came up on Looks alone.
Shannon Dawson
Clark Gable,
Matt Jones
man, that's a tough look for me.
Shannon Dawson
Kurt Cobain. No, actually, Paul Giamatti. I mean. Now, again, this has to Be a high budget movie to get. Paul Giamatti and Forest Whitaker play secondary roles.
Matt Jones
Ray got a big director and a big writer. A lot of stuff.
Shannon Dawson
Giamatti, I could see it. He's got the hair.
Drew Franklin
I know he's not an actor but if he could play.
Shannon Dawson
I'm saying that's.
Matt Jones
And he's got range. He can. He can turn himself into all kinds of things.
Shannon Dawson
Who's that?
Drew Franklin
Axl Rose. Remember that? Side by side.
Shannon Dawson
There we go.
Drew Franklin
Just like Mark Stoops look like.
Shannon Dawson
I mean Mark, if you remember acknowledged that he looked like, like, like him in that picture. I kind of like Forest Whitaker and Paul Giamatti. If you have a different one. Seven seven two seven. John, go ahead. John.
Callers
Hey. Yes, calling from Graves County. I really enjoy Yalls program.
Shannon Dawson
Thank you.
Callers
I'm. I understand that we have recently signed a 25 year old big man. What do we know about him?
Shannon Dawson
He's from Cameroon. His name is Frank Capnong and he is in his seventh year of college.
Callers
Okay.
Shannon Dawson
And he's like so big, big, big strong. Think about the dude on Florida last year, Chenalu. Now he's. I don't think he's as good as he is but that. Think about how that dude was built and how he plays and I think that's how this guy plays.
Callers
Okay. Sounds good.
Shannon Dawson
Appreciate it. Yeah, he's a big strong fellow. Isaiah. Go ahead. Isaiah.
Callers
Hey, polite Matt. I just want to pick on Matt for a second. If you allow it.
Shannon Dawson
Oh no, I got this far.
Callers
Are.
Shannon Dawson
Go ahead.
Callers
Wonder. We ought to really thank the McDonald's Diet Cokes and the skylines of the world for you to be still be here with us. I don't know if you'd be here with us if it weren't for those two soul things because I don't know if you can cook. You can't hang a picture. You got a door dash, batteries.
Matt Jones
Batteries is a good one.
Shannon Dawson
Doordashing batteries was necessary. I don't eat Skyline a ton but I do do the McDonald's Diet Coke a lot lot.
Callers
And, and one other. Oh, and one other thing. I got a scenario for you. I know you value your mother's opinion highly. So you. You meet a girl and you get her to your Louisville place. She's seen that she doesn't mind that you take. You take her to your mother's house and she pulls you aside and she says Matt, she is a lovely girl. I think she's the one. You get in the car to go home with her and you think Everything goes well, and she leans over, she says, oh, good, we can still make the game. My balls are playing or my cards are playing. What is the deal breaker for the rival?
Shannon Dawson
I can do that. I, I, I could date. I, I appreciate the call. I, I, I could date a Louisville fan. Tennessee's tougher, honestly, just because, you know, Tennessee's not here.
Matt Jones
So I'll say she'll spit to back.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but I dated Louisville fans. I, I can date. I mean, not, I don't think I've ever been in, like, a relationship with Louisville fan, but I've dated, like, I can, I can handle that. I mean, it's. The Louisville people don't hate me as much as they used.
Drew Franklin
She's a 10. But you got to do L's up.
Shannon Dawson
I'm not doing L's up for anyone.
Drew Franklin
For no woman.
Callers
Wow.
Shannon Dawson
No, I'm not. Ls up. And I mean, I'll go to a game with them to be nice, but I'm not cheering for Louisville. The only way I would ever cheer for Louisville if I had a kid and they played and they went there,
Drew Franklin
then I guess that would be.
Shannon Dawson
I would only cheer for that sport like no other sport. And even then, it probably is going to be a girl because, like, I'm not cheering for a male Kentucky or Louisville team. Certainly not football or basketball. Maybe soccer.
Matt Jones
I've already told baby Avery she's not going to Louisville or liking Louisville. And my dad has tried to buy Tennessee gear. It's not getting anywhere near.
Shannon Dawson
You can't. You're not letting that happen.
Matt Jones
Those two. I mean, other than that. Choose your own adventure. It's your life. But those two are eliminated.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, Zeb. Just because I like the name zeb. You got 20 seconds. Go ahead.
Callers
Oh, my gosh. You're gonna be quick. First of all, Shannon, you and I had to be separated at birth because ports worked. My absolute first choice. Yep. And I figured since it's polite, genuine, salt of the earth, mad if I say, hey, let you me hang out one day because you got nothing else to do and, you know, we'll, you know, I'll make you a meal. You know, it'd be good stuff in the microwave.
Shannon Dawson
We'll set it up. Thank you, sir. Thank you all for listening. Tomorrow, we're at the bar for weeksdays. Ksr.

Hosts: Matt Jones, Shannon Dawson, Drew Franklin
The second hour of today’s KSR, hosted by Matt Jones, Shannon Dawson, and Drew Franklin, offers a lively mix of sports talk, Kentucky news, politics, and the usual blend of personal stories and listener interaction. Topics range from convoluted Nebraska election maneuverings to UK baseball scheduling drama, wild hypotheticals about athletic superpowers, Lane Kiffin’s incendiary comments, and playful barbs about parenting, college sports, and even passwords. The tone is humorous, conversational, and self-deprecating, with a heavy focus on Kentucky Wildcats sports and the quirks of everyday life.
"You can't just get on a plane with an unmarked baby. I would think you at the border—it's one of your carry-on items." — Matt Jones ([04:50])
"I'm saying no. I already think for both of them... I'm a hard no on that. I already think a lot of politics, it's a clown show and people aren't serious and doing the right thing anyway." — Matt Jones ([07:53]) "If it's unfair on one side, it's got to be unfair on the other." — Drew Franklin ([09:14])
"I'm going to say unfair, but I'm also going to say I'm all right with it just because it's my team." — Matt Jones ([11:14]) "If you don't like it, don't schedule the game there at the end of the season." — Drew Franklin ([11:55])
“He wants to take 33 a game right now. I don't know who's taking those.” — Matt Jones ([15:16]) “To believe him, that's a little bit like when John Calipari used to always say, ‘We're going to start speeding up the tempo...’ and it would never happen.” — Shannon Dawson ([15:44])
“Ebola is the worst. It's the worst password I've ever heard in my life. But, you know, whatever you want, Billy.” — Shannon Dawson ([23:36])
“He said that he left LSU because in part, it was hard for Ole Miss to struggle to distance itself from symbols like the Confederate flag, Colonel Rebel, and the nickname Ole Miss.” — Shannon Dawson ([29:54]) “Ole Miss just getting pounded out.” — Drew Franklin ([33:14])
“Paul Giamatti…he's got the hair.” — Shannon Dawson ([47:32]) “I kind of like Forest Whitaker and Paul Giamatti.” — Shannon Dawson ([47:42])
Matt Jones on politics:
"I already think a lot of politics, it's a clown show and people aren't serious and doing the right thing anyway." ([07:53])
Drew Franklin on game cancellations:
"If you don't like it, don't schedule the game there at the end of the season where that's even a possibility." ([11:55])
Shannon Dawson, on Kiffin’s parting shot at Ole Miss:
"Why throw that in on your way out the door? ... He's really trying to burn it down." ([31:41])
On baby passports:
"You can't just get on a plane with an unmarked baby. I would think you at the border—it's one of your carry-on items." — Matt Jones ([04:50])
On passwords:
"Ebola is the worst. It's the worst password I've ever heard in my life." — Shannon Dawson ([23:36])
Hour 2 of this KSR episode captures the fast-paced, off-the-cuff spirit that has made the show a favorite among UK fans. It balances hard sports discussion, lighter human-interest stories, pop-culture riffing, irreverent humor, and audience engagement. The hosts’ willingness to poke fun at themselves, their teams, and college sports in general keeps the tone fun and grounded—even when discussing murky political ethics, NCAA controversies, or the absurdities of password security.
Whether you’re tuning in for Kentucky sports, the inside jokes, or just a laugh about the randomness of life, this episode delivers plenty to chew on—and perhaps, a new password idea (just not “Ebola”).
