[Matt Jones]

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

[Drew Franklin]

Welcome back. Our number two Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287 Text Machine 772-774-5254 so I'm excited about this Drew. KSR Villain Bracket. Now here are the rules for the KSR Villain Bracket. Most these people, 14 of these 16 entrants were picked by someone, Shannon, that was not me, but clearly a longtime listener to the show. I switched two out and added to it. Okay. But we will collectively talk about it. Now here's the key. The question here is historically, were they a villain? Not where are they a villain right now?

[Shannon]

Because we're big forgiveness people.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm huge on forgiveness. And honestly, of all of these people on this list, there might be one or two people that still annoy me, but I'm kind of good with people for the most.

[Matt Jones]

I need, I need to know who those two are.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, or I haven't thought about them in a lot. Some of these people I haven't thought about in a long time. So I don't have. You know what I mean?

[Shannon]

Some of them are dead to me, even though I don't know who they are.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. I mean, it's just like I don't deal with them anymore. But the question was at the peak of their villain hood, who was a bigger villain? Okay. Now for I give this person credit because I would not have thought of some of these. Here we go. These are not seated. These are just randomly put in. First matchup, Tom Jurich, Captain Suntan.

[Shannon]

Keeping it in one building over there

[Matt Jones]

in the same family.

[Drew Franklin]

All right, so I'm going to say here, this is an easy answer for me. It's Tom Juridge because even though it was a friendly radio rivalry with John Ramsey and at times actually not so friendly, it's friendly now, but Judge tried to get me fired Multiple times and did all he could to get me fired all the time. So from a villain standpoint, plus, he was the leader of the most corrupt regime ever, the Evil Empire.

[Matt Jones]

But did he ever try to fight you physically?

[Drew Franklin]

He did not try to fight me. But you know what? That's okay.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

A physical fight is not the same as trying to get lose your job.

[Matt Jones]

I agree. I agree with that. Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

So I'm going to say Jurich for that one. Any thoughts on that? On Juridge?

[Shannon]

No. I never really had any interactions with Captain Suntan other than almost having to get between you two in the press box. I didn't really have any dealings with him.

[Matt Jones]

Kind of like John Ramsey. Like, he was cool with me, but.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. And he's. And he. And for what it's worth, he's been cool with me recently. So I'm. But. But even at the height of the. It would still be Jerus Baloney Head versus Seth Greenberg. Baloney had, of course, former president of U of L. Another Ramsey. Right. What was his name?

[Shannon]

James.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, we'll just call him Baloney.

[Matt Jones]

Wasn't Charles. It was a different Ramsey.

[Drew Franklin]

Baloney Head versus Seth Greenberg.

[Matt Jones]

One of these two you still owe money to.

[Drew Franklin]

I do not owe Seth Greenberg money. No matter what he says. I'm taking Seth Greenberg longer. Baloney had. I never had any real interaction with him except, remember, I sat next to him on a plane one time on a whole flight to New York. But I'm going Seth Greenberg. Because even when I liked him, Shannon, he would complain about us owing money. He was always complaining about.

[Matt Jones]

It was sort of a weird relationship that you guys had because you didn't really like each other. Yet he agreed to come on the show and host it during the summer a couple of times or one time at least.

[Drew Franklin]

But he came up to me. He came up to me at the UK Arkansas game. Cows first came back and started yelling at me.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Saying that I was the reason this whole game was happening. And I was like, seth, go away.

[Matt Jones]

Did he block you too, on Twitter?

[Drew Franklin]

Yes, he's blocked me.

[Matt Jones]

Come on, man. Yeah, I think this is your answer right here.

[Drew Franklin]

It's Greenberg, Matt Bevin, Amy McGrath.

[Caller]

Oh,

[Matt Jones]

the both of these.

[Drew Franklin]

All right, so if. So, here's the thing about Matt Bevin. Politically, I'm very anti Matt Bevin, but on a personal level, we. I kind of always got along with him. He won his election because of this show.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

That debate. He was the.

[Drew Franklin]

Like, he knows. He knew that. He knew that. And so, Shannon, he. Remember you Want to talk about crazy? We did our show for Matt Bevin's inauguration.

[Matt Jones]

That's right.

[Shannon]

That's right.

[Drew Franklin]

Do you all not remember how much

[Shannon]

you loved Matt Bevin there for a little while?

[Drew Franklin]

I didn't love him. He invited us. And I said, for all the people that are like, you liberal, you on fire by. We did our show from Matt Bevin's inauguration, right?

[Shannon]

Yep.

[Drew Franklin]

We went to the Trump White House.

[Shannon]

I was gonna say, I've never been to a Kid Rock concert with Amy McGrath.

[Drew Franklin]

I've been to one with Matt Bevin. Okay, Think about that. Have we ever been to a Democratic inauguration? No. Have we ever been to a Democratic White House? No. Have we ever been to a Bad Bunny concert? No. But we've been to Kid Rock with. With. With Matt Bevin.

[Shannon]

And he was wearing all denim. Was that the great look, Canadian tuxedo,

[Matt Jones]

where he's giving you the death stare? Was that.

[Drew Franklin]

Now that one that goes in the other direction. He wanted to kill us at the Republic. But I'm saying Amy McGrath, once again. She got me fired.

[Shannon]

And she just wore me out with commercials.

[Drew Franklin]

She got me fired.

[Shannon]

That's. That's a. She might be like a one seed in this. When you really break it down.

[Matt Jones]

How can you do that to a

[Drew Franklin]

fighter pilot and a mother.

[Matt Jones]

And a mother.

[Drew Franklin]

And a soccer Coach?

[Matt Jones]

Mother's Day, two days ago.

[Drew Franklin]

Sorry, Amy. Amy McGrath beats Matt Bevin in. Probably a surprise in most people's brackets.

[Shannon]

Is the first time she's won.

[Drew Franklin]

Yes.

[Caller]

What?

[Drew Franklin]

Angry. Last season. Caliperi versus technical difficulties. I got to go. Technical difficulties.

[Matt Jones]

They went over everything. Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Because even when Caliperi was mad and trying to also get me fired, he. I still wanted to win. Right.

[Shannon]

I love that last team.

[Drew Franklin]

And I had a good history. And I had a long history with him. Technical difficulties. Always.

[Matt Jones]

They have been our.

[Shannon]

And they haven't left.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. They've been our nemesis for 20 years.

[Drew Franklin]

Yes. So technical difficulties are going to move on. Greg Marshall's wife wondered if she'd make the cut against Mark Maggard. An odd matchup.

[Shannon]

It is.

[Drew Franklin]

Greg Marshall's wife got Drew kicked out of the NCAA tournament. Tried.

[Shannon]

She ended up being the one getting kicked out.

[Drew Franklin]

But also got him on Inside Edition.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

She also yelled some awful things at our players that I couldn't believe. The coach's wife, who is kind of like a motherly figure to these teams, was yelling at. Remember Monk and Briscoe especially.

[Drew Franklin]

Yes. But Mark Maggard, first five years of ksr, was enemy number one.

[Shannon]

And I Know some. Some people that paid for his subscription and get that money back. I know them personally.

[Drew Franklin]

He also, though, for about four or five months, wrote on ksr, which people forget.

[Shannon]

He pops on cast board occasionally.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm going with Greg Marshall's wife because she also went after KSR and UK collectively. But did make you famous for a day.

[Shannon]

I was famous. I was in the. What's that international newspaper over in the Guardian. I was in that. You're in the Guardian is that you're in uk.

[Drew Franklin]

All right, Shannon. John Higgins versus my mentions on Twitter. Oh, that's a tough one.

[Matt Jones]

That's a good one. Those mentions come at you every day

[Drew Franklin]

and they're every day.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

Versus your mentions. Didn't cost us a title, but John

[Drew Franklin]

Higgins cost us a title and sued you and legal fee. And we were on the COVID of Sports Illustrated.

[Shannon]

And that Times Square scroll thing with the news. Yes, I remember that. That's when I knew we were.

[Drew Franklin]

Big picture of Drew on Sports center in the plane landing goggles.

[Shannon]

Now, see, I kind of like that. I still laugh at that. That's actually a plus for him.

[Matt Jones]

This is a really.

[Shannon]

Still take easy him.

[Drew Franklin]

This is touch.

[Shannon]

I'm taking aside our connection. Just the calls that he messed up for against Kentucky.

[Caller]

Is that.

[Shannon]

That's enough for me.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm taking Higgins.

[Matt Jones]

It's like an 8, 9 matchup almost. You can't hardly.

[Drew Franklin]

Higgins. I'm taking Higgins because my bank account. That was when I didn't have a lot of money and I had to spend it all on that stupid legal fees. Dan Dockage versus people calling in for Reds tickets.

[Matt Jones]

We already did that. But you asked for it today.

[Shannon]

They're sympathetic figures today after Shannon, what he did to Sean.

[Drew Franklin]

Yes. And Dan Dock itch just came up to me at a game, said hello, and then went on the radio and said that he asked me to fight and I was scared of him when literally all he said was hello.

[Shannon]

Also remember he went at Oscar Combs. You don't go to Oscar.

[Drew Franklin]

Oscar Combs.

[Shannon]

That's a deal breaker for me.

[Drew Franklin]

He's always making. Saying bad things about UK fan. So I'll take Doc Itch. But that's not a thing for you all to call for red tickets. Mitch McConnell, Michael Bennett.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, this is an easy one. This is Michael's lovable.

[Drew Franklin]

Michael's harmless.

[Shannon]

Yeah, I don't mind Michael. I hated what he. What he did to Shannon, especially by faking his own death.

[Drew Franklin]

But faking his own death is quite a.

[Matt Jones]

That is. That's quite A move.

[Drew Franklin]

It's quite a strong move on your friend.

[Shannon]

Michael's always been nice to me.

[Drew Franklin]

He's been. He's fine.

[Matt Jones]

We gave him an obituary on the air.

[Drew Franklin]

We literally gave a tribute to bring

[Matt Jones]

him back the next segment.

[Shannon]

That's the first time I've seen Shannon, like, show some emotion and support.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. But I'm still moving Mitch on for obvious reasons. Jurich. Now we're in the second round. Juridge. Seth Greenberg. I think this is a pretty. This is one of those one versus 8989 squid and then loses by 20, right?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

I'd go Greenberg.

[Drew Franklin]

Go Greenberg.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

I mean, you ruined college game day for me.

[Drew Franklin]

I don't watch it in three years.

[Shannon]

I used to love that show. He got like, you know, he got like one tweet from an anonymous UK fan that was bad. He act like all of BBN is the worst on Twitter because one dude without a picture DM'd him.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

He randomly messages people I know out of the blue to tell him, you know, just complain about cow things. Easily. Greenberg for me.

[Drew Franklin]

Wow. All right, George. But a second. Yesterday. Come back.

[Shannon]

Yesterday I sat down to watch the combine scrimmages as bad. And it was just him.

[Matt Jones]

The whole.

[Shannon]

Just like a Greenberg podcast.

[Drew Franklin]

Amy McGrath versus technical difficulties.

[Shannon]

Both pull you off the air.

[Drew Franklin]

That's true. They both do. Full is off the air. I'm going to go. Technical difficulties because Amy pulling me off the air allowed me to write my book and I got a big payout with that.

[Matt Jones]

So.

[Drew Franklin]

Technical difficulties never do anything that make me happy.

[Matt Jones]

No. They've caused arguments amongst us.

[Drew Franklin]

Yes, they. That's exactly right.

[Matt Jones]

Trying to tear the team apart here because of technical difficulties.

[Drew Franklin]

Technical. Technical difficulties. Move on. Greg Marshall's wife, John Higgins. Higgins. Easy, Higgins.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Dan Dockage, Mitch McConnell. Neither are likable figures pretty much by anyone now, but.

[Matt Jones]

Did you write a book about Dan Dockage?

[Drew Franklin]

I did not.

[Matt Jones]

You should.

[Drew Franklin]

I did not. And Dan Dockage did not hire someone to follow me around the state for a year. That's a big one.

[Shannon]

As Mitch McCarthy

[Drew Franklin]

did. What if he did?

[Shannon]

As Mitch McConnell tweeted at Oscar Combs?

[Drew Franklin]

True. Mitch McConnell never in person challenged me to a fight. Mitch McConnell took a picture with Mr. Pectacular and Luscious Lawrence.

[Matt Jones]

Makes him likable.

[Shannon]

I'm feeling a second half comeback by Docker Chair.

[Drew Franklin]

I think with a shot at the buzzer, though. Mitch moves on.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, wow.

[Shannon]

Okay. It's moving on. Something we've all wanted.

[Drew Franklin]

You're on it today. I like it. All right. What a final four.

[Matt Jones]

Who we got?

[Drew Franklin]

I tell you what, we'll do it after the break. We have Tom Jurich versus technical difficulties and John Higgins versus Mitch McConnell.

[Matt Jones]

All one seeds.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I mean this is, this is a final four. That's a ratings boost.

[Shannon]

Mario, how quickly can we get a graphic with these way in here?

[Drew Franklin]

I think if you were to say to me what are the four things over the years that have annoyed me most? This is it. By the way, shout out to the person that suggested this great premise and

[Shannon]

the, the, all the names they came up with were great.

[Drew Franklin]

That's true. This is like from the entire history. I mean you really did pick out the perfect things here. We'll take a break, we'll take your cause. We'll also pick our winner of the all time KSR villain next.

welcome back Tuggy Sports Radio. Glad to see people seem to be enjoying this like I do. Drew just found the video of him watching Scott Van Pelt's commentary about us

[Shannon]

because we knew we were going to be on. So we're, like, ready.

[Drew Franklin]

I still remember I was sitting in that apartment, which was most recently Colin Chandler's. I was sitting on the chair, nervous because Scott Van Pelt had called me earlier in the day and said, look, I'm doing this commentary on what do you want me to know before I do it? So we knew it was coming, and the game I think that was on went late, so it was, like, past midnight. And you were. And you and I were both watching, so nervous. And then that picture of you came up, and I could not stop laughing. It made it to where whatever he said after didn't matter because you were up there with your things. I just tweeted out the picture.

[Shannon]

I just tweeted the video. It's worth watching.

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, unbelievable that that occurred. Some names, by the way, of people that apparently were on the bubble. Shannon.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

And didn't make the bracket. Clay Travis.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

That would have been a good one. Bob in Jamestown.

[Shannon]

I wondered when you were talking about getting annoyed if he would make the list.

[Drew Franklin]

Bob in Jamestown. Did not make the list. Pat 40. Yeah, that would have been a good one. I still think we got the right one.

[Matt Jones]

Pete Thimalto.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, Fimil Toe. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. He's the only one that we got to watch. Demarcus Confront.

[Shannon]

That was fun.

[Matt Jones]

What was the other name you used to always. It was a Dana o'. Neill.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. Yeah, she was. That was more of a cow thing, though. I didn't really have anything against her. That was more of Cal. Really didn't like her. All right, Final Four. Jurich versus technical difficulties. Both have caused this show lots of heartache over the years.

[Shannon]

He might have even been behind some of the technical difficulties back in the day.

[Drew Franklin]

I once had to stand up at a remote in. I think at Red state barbecue in Georgetown. And you remember when I had to read that apology. Earl made me read an apology to Tom Jurich. And honestly, if we hadn't had the remote scheduled that day, I might have quit. But there were, like, a hundred people at the remote. Red State was one of our biggest Advertisers. And I just didn't feel like I could just 10 minutes before quit the show. But I was close and I had to get up there and read that. And if you were at the remote, you may remember I rolled my eyes and acted like. Like I'm. You know, just so people know. I do not mean any of this.

[Shannon]

Yeah, I'm being forced to read off this property.

[Drew Franklin]

Technical difficulties like this to this day.

[Shannon]

Just a few weeks ago had some probably not going away anytime soon either.

[Matt Jones]

Technical difficulties. And they can strike at any given moment. It could happen right now. It can knock us off the air. Tom Jurge can't do that right now.

[Shannon]

Just like tomorrow we're trying to go out and have fun somewhere. Technical difficulties. Just waiting for the opportunity.

[Drew Franklin]

That's right. Tom Church has moved on with his life.

[Shannon]

I kind of forgot he exists.

[Drew Franklin]

All right. I agree. Technical difficulties. Moved to the championship. John Higgins, Mitch McConnell. I mean, this is hard.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Mitch McConnell tried to get me fired. Did not succeed. But he did file an FCC complaint against me that he then refused to confirm members of the board. So I couldn't even adjudicate my innocence.

[Shannon]

When you know you're good at politics, that's like a.

[Caller]

Remember?

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

He also pulled me off the air. Those are the cons. And he's been a plague on this state for 30 plus years. However, I wrote a book about him. It made the bestseller list. It has given me opportunities that I would have never otherwise had I saw

[Shannon]

someone brought the book to a show just maybe even last week.

[Drew Franklin]

Still, people bring for me to sign.

[Matt Jones]

You should say thank you to Mitch.

[Drew Franklin]

So Higgins has never done anything for me except heartache.

[Shannon]

Also plagued the state of Kentucky.

[Drew Franklin]

So John Higgins moves on to the next round. So finally, biggest KSR villain of all time, John Higgins or technical difficulties.

[Shannon]

I'm able to laugh at the technical difficulties. Sometimes I cannot even smile at the mere mention of John Higgins. Leave aside our own connect. Just the Wisconsin game alone is all I need from him.

[Drew Franklin]

He didn't do that. He did the this.

[Shannon]

He knew both. He was the shot clock violation too, wasn't he? I know he's the North Carolina.

[Drew Franklin]

I don't know if he was. The shot clock violation. Yeah. And that the Higgins thing. Literally. Sports Illustrated, the New York Times, the Athletic, espn all win at me and you as individuals solely because of that man. We had to go to federal court to the sixth Circuit to defend our good name.

[Caller]

That's right.

[Drew Franklin]

And we won at the Nebraska District court. We won at the Kentucky District court. We won in the Sixth Circuit and in the process had one of the preeminent First Amendment cases. They read it in law schools. I have people write me all the time and say, higgins versus ksr. They read in their First Amendment class. Written to the tune of Casey at the bat. Because that judge was getting feeling himself.

[Shannon]

Very clever and punny in that one.

[Drew Franklin]

Yes, Technical difficulties are annoying, but, Shannon, would you argue they've gotten better?

[Matt Jones]

Slightly. Slightly. A little bit. And look, I know I'm going to be outvoted here because I wasn't sued two of the other people on the show. So you guys can vote me out, but I would say technical difficulties, but I understand if you want to pick Higgins.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm picking Higgins.

[Shannon]

Easy for me. I can. I can find the difficulties charming sometimes. Nothing about him is charming.

[Drew Franklin]

John Higgins.

[Matt Jones]

There you go.

[Drew Franklin]

Ksr, villain of the century.

[Matt Jones]

Give him the trophy.

[Shannon]

Should we mail him a trophy?

[Drew Franklin]

No, I don't want to get sued again.

[Matt Jones]

He's coming down on the roof right now.

[Drew Franklin]

859-280-2287. I enjoyed that. And I think your line of. At least you won something.

[Shannon]

Proud of that one.

[Drew Franklin]

That's one of your best lines. Casey, go ahead. Casey.

[Caller]

Hey, fellers. Good morning.

[Drew Franklin]

Good morning.

[Caller]

I was just curious, what do you think the percentage chance is that Malachi comes back and we get mom Silovich? Because I'm just really worried about the state of our team if we don't get them both.

[Drew Franklin]

And that's all I had. I hope you guys have a great. Appreciate it. Hope you're doing well. Casey. Percentage. We get them both.

[Shannon]

Both. 17.

[Drew Franklin]

I was going to say 20. So, I mean, I think the percentage chance Malachi comes back is 6 to 70. I think the percentage chance we get Mom Silvich is 33. So now we're. I think if you did the math there, that's probably about 20. So that's where I'll be with that. Tyler. Go ahead, Tyler.

[Caller]

Hey, man. First time. Long time.

[Drew Franklin]

Who are.

[Caller]

So. Got an Appalachian word for you. So I played at Union College in Barville. Played baseball over there. And. Yeah. And I had a buddy turn into my best friend. Lives in Manchester, and we moved into an apartment, and he told me one day that a shelf was Cy Goggling. And I said, what in the world is Cy Goggling? And so he said, it's crooked or lopsided. And I was like, oh, okay. And I was like, well, this Glasgow boy didn't know anything about that.

[Drew Franklin]

I don't think I'd ever heard of Cy Goggling. I mean, I. The thing is, I don't think I've ever heard that. But if I heard someone say it, I think I would know what they meant.

[Shannon]

It's the first time I've ever heard that one.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I appreciate the call. I think I would guess Cy Goglin. That would be it. Well, thank you very much. 859-280-2287. We will take a break and be right back. Good historical KSR hour. Okay. We'll be right back.

[Advertiser]

T.J. smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. he'll make him pay.

[Matt Jones]

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

[Drew Franklin]

We got some great ones of people just reminding me ones over the years. The U of L sheriff, Doug Schalls. We like. Doug Shallows. We kind of. But. But there was a time. Slash, slash, slash. Sal Palantonio. Because you remember every time I'd go on the air there, then some would just Drew, do that again.

[Caller]

Slash, slash.

[Drew Franklin]

That goes way back then. Just the ones with Drew that I'd forgotten from Chet Lemon. Cole Swindell.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

That wasn't really a feud. I was just a little annoyed. Just kept introducing himself.

[Drew Franklin]

One time the, the porn star from Kansas.

[Shannon]

That was a feud. That was a feud.

[Drew Franklin]

Big Black.

[Shannon]

That was a big feud. Rip though, he passed away, so. Yeah, that was a good run. I remember we met Rob Dyrdek at the Breeders cup in California. He was like, wait, aren't you the guy that's always going back and forth with Big Black? I was like, wow, I'm on your radar.

[Drew Franklin]

Yes. And then crisscross. Who said we would never. We didn't have a voice for radio. We could never make it all that. So I like this one too. Line five to go.

[Matt Jones]

When I lump that in with technical difficulties, though.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. Line five. So a lot of people don't know what those means, but those are old school right there. UK Arkansas baseball starts tonight. Kentucky needs to win two of three to make sure they make the tournament. Might still get in at 1 and 3, but then skipping that game might come into play. Do they win two of three at home this weekend against Arkansas? And I hope people go. Cause I think these are going to be big time. Game starts tonight.

[Shannon]

Yeah, it's. They moved up. It's a.

[Matt Jones]

Move it up.

[Shannon]

But it's one of the Thursday Saturday series this year. I'll say they definitely get one and that'll be enough. I don't know that to be a Fact, I feel good about getting one, but Arkansas is tough and Kentucky's had a hard time.

[Drew Franklin]

I think we got to get two or three, I think. Although when I looked at it, the teams were on the bubble with are all from terrible conferences. So maybe that helps. Helps. Maybe it hurts. I don't know.

[Shannon]

D1 baseball has a new bracketology where we're last four in and it says like you win one and you should feel comfortable. But I mean, it's not a sure thing. We certainly want to get at least two.

[Drew Franklin]

I might go tonight. I'm thinking about it just because I haven't been to a game this year.

[Shannon]

Well, Nate Harris on the mound.

[Drew Franklin]

They. Harris on the 30. Are we winning two? Shannon one.

[Matt Jones]

I think we got it. Yep. Mingy own with his back against the wall. He's going to take two of three. They're going to make the tournament.

[Drew Franklin]

No, I hope you're right. This is, you know, they've made the tournament. How many straight years?

[Shannon]

Four.

[Drew Franklin]

Four straight years. It's a chance to continue that, you know, they've lost so many games, like in weird ways and close and be nice to get to get this one.

[Shannon]

Sundays have been especially bad. But no Sunday.

[Matt Jones]

And if you're going to the game, don't bring your glove. Like don't cost us a game. Especially like this.

[Drew Franklin]

Yes, please. No. Kyle, Go ahead. Kyle.

[Caller]

Hey,

[Drew Franklin]

you there? Kyle. What is it?

[Matt Jones]

Technical difficulties.

[Shannon]

Mad that it didn't win.

[Drew Franklin]

Difficulty.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Saying, look, we should have won.

[Matt Jones]

Don't forget about me.

[Drew Franklin]

Cody. Go ahead. Cody. Cody. No. Oh, wow. No, this is not happening. This is not happening today. This is not like. This is not happening today. Mad technical difficulties is going to, like, use its revenge on us.

[Matt Jones]

Let's try another one.

[Drew Franklin]

David, Go ahead. David.

[Caller]

Gentlemen, good afternoon. How are you?

[Shannon]

Good morning.

[Drew Franklin]

We're good. Good. What's up? 859-2802. Go ahead.

[Caller]

Well, I'll tell you, I have some perspective about the last second shot and this is sort of. Well, and anyway, this is what I got. Rex Chapman, I think is by far the clearest cut last second shot. And I'll tell you why. I saw him put, I don't know, around 40 on Louisville in Freedom hall. And it was one of the most unbelievable.

[Drew Franklin]

Did he. But did he make those like, like. Yes, he's great. And I should have mentioned him on the list, but when you say he's definitely the one, you saw him put 40. But remember, Monk had 47 in a game against Carolina. Did Rex hit any shots like that at the end of games,

[Matt Jones]

he's gone. Telling you technical difficulties are rampant.

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, listen, Rex is definitely on the list, but. But I don't now, again, granted, I was very young then, so I may not remember. I don't remember Rex hitting end of game. You know, I mean, Jody Meeks had 54, so, like, there were games. As far as a big man that can go get a bucket. I did. Like some people wrote and said Julius ran.

[Shannon]

I felt bad.

[Drew Franklin]

That's a really good one. Kentucky, that was a guy who people kind of dog on Julius a little bit because his NBA career has been up and down and he had a bad game five the other night. But, you know, he. We call the 2014 team the Twins team. But Randall was the best player.

[Shannon]

Oh, absolutely. And just a double double machine, too. Not just a bucket getter. And when it mattered, he's the one that kicked it out to Aaron in the corner. He did against Louisville, so he knew when to pass.

[Drew Franklin]

Look at that. Aaron shot the. Aaron Harrison shot. Not the Louisville one, I think the Wisconsin one or maybe the Michigan one. For some reason, we gave the ball to Dakari Johnson.

[Shannon]

I believe that was Wisconsin.

[Drew Franklin]

And Dakari, like, fumbled it around thankfully. But for some reason, we were like, all right, Dakari Cook.

[Shannon]

Even though it was a couple seconds, I think I remember my heart falling to my feet when Dakari had the ball.

[Drew Franklin]

But he kind of dribbled it off himself and then kicked it out to Andrew, who then passed it to Aaron, I think. Raven. Go ahead, Raven.

[Caller]

Hey, I was listening to yesterday's show last night on replay, and I was calling in about the Appalachian words.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay.

[Caller]

I don't know if anyone's let you know. I don't know if anyone's let you know yet, but the word reckon is not an Appalachian word. It's in the Bible, in the King James Version Bible, several. Several times.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, I'm sure that's true. But. But the. But like, I'm not necessarily talking about. When I say an Appalachian word. I'm not necessarily talking about, like, it's a. Is it epistemology, Whatever the. Like, where it comes from. I'm talking about who still uses it. So, like, a lot of the words from Appalachia actually go back to, like, Scotch Irish. They. Some of them. I mean, somebody show me yonder is in Shakespeare, all get out came from Mark Twain.

[Shannon]

We looked that up yesterday.

[Drew Franklin]

So, I mean, there. But my point is kind of just what are the words that are still kind of used only in Appalachia or you Know, Southern or Kentucky or whatever.

[Caller]

Okay. Well, I. I just wanted to let you know it's in the Bible. I'm a pastor and.

[Shannon]

What.

[Drew Franklin]

What? Give me a. Do you know a verse that. You know a verse that says reckon in it?

[Caller]

Yes, I do. In Romans, chapter 8, Paul's writing and he says, I reckon that the sufferings of this current time. I'm not. I'm not saying it verbatim, but I reckon that the sufferings of this time will not compare to the things in glory. So.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay, gotcha. Thank you. See how many other shows will quote. Will quote Paul. I reckon the sufferings. Appreciate the call. This. Like this is. You can learn on this show. In addition to being entertained and talking

[Shannon]

about sports in this hour, we're learning about the Bible in the first hour. I think someone said we don't love Jesus or something because of our Jaden.

[Drew Franklin]

Because of Jaden. Quaint. My favorite. So a lot of our words do have, like, British, Scottish, Irish. My favorite thing British people do when they talk is that they end their sentence often with in it.

[Shannon]

Oh, in it.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

I n n I t. Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

This is some great food, isn't it? I like it. I really like it.

[Shannon]

I want your confirmation. I can't just say it isn't it.

[Drew Franklin]

Isn't it. Yeah. Which is a weird thing to add. It's almost like when we go, right.

[Shannon]

Yeah, but they go a.

[Drew Franklin]

Isn't it, Kyle? Go ahead. Kyle. Kyle. You know, okay, this can't. At some point, this can't be coincidence. All right, I'm gonna.

[Matt Jones]

God's up.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm gonna give this a chance to kind of work itself out during the break. Kentucky Skin Cancer Center.

[Caller]

All right.

[Drew Franklin]

I want to tell you something you may not know. Tomorrow, Friday, Kentucky Skin Cancer center is giving free, free SPF at all of its locations. So Bowling Green, Owensboro, Glasgow, Powder, Lynn, Franklin. To celebrate melanoma awareness a month, you can get free sunscreen at all of those locations.

[Drew Franklin]

So if you are in the Bowling Green, Owensboro, Glasgow, Powderlear, Franklin area tomorrow at the Kentucky Skin Cancer center near you, you can get free spf. Okay. How exciting is that? That's very exciting that this wants me to sing.

[Shannon]

Want you to sing.

[Matt Jones]

We all do sing right here.

[Drew Franklin]

It says sing. The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home.

[Shannon]

Well, you have the floor.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm not going to do that. Kentucky Skin Cancer center paying you good money.

[Matt Jones]

You should sing.

[Drew Franklin]

I love you, Dr. Skaggs and I'm glad you're giving away SPF, but I'm not gonna sing. Sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home. It was easier when we harmonized. Go to Kentuckyskinsandcancercenter.com 2708421999 free sunscreen tomorrow at all locations. Go check them out. It's more where you're more than just a patient. Your family. Take a break. Be right back. Kentucky sports Radio. Is this like a. This is a Christian song.

[Matt Jones]

This is Ed Sheeran.

[Shannon]

Yeah, it sounds like Ed.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know. Is he Christian?

[Drew Franklin]

I don't know. But it just, you know, this kind of sounds like contemporary Christian vibe.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. Cornbread Hemp has something new on the shelves. It's the first non infused drink. The USDA organic, completely alcohol free L theanine lemon balm and passion flower.

That's true because people know your now because of Tyler Childer's song. But like it's his and. But they don't. But people don't say hersin.

[Shannon]

No. Steven with KSR submitted tumped over. Like if you were to tip or knock something over, you're tumped over.

[Matt Jones]

I still use that one.

[Drew Franklin]

You say tumped over.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, yeah. Tumped over.

[Shannon]

Dumped over my drink.

[Matt Jones]

Yep.

[Drew Franklin]

One person writes Matt. If there was a caller villain list. Bob and Jamestown's A1 seed. But who else is on it? Todd the Bod.

[Matt Jones]

I remember Todd the Bod.

[Drew Franklin]

Todd the Bod.

[Matt Jones]

Slap nuts.

[Drew Franklin]

Slap nuts is definitely. He was like the original because he was a Louisville fan.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

And would call and talk trash. I loved him. But he, he was from Jimmer Berber.

[Matt Jones]

He'd be on there.

[Drew Franklin]

Brian Bluetooth. Brian T. Slade. Bluetooth. You remember Brian T. Slade. That went. And we trended that number one in America that day.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Those are, those are, those are good. I can't think of. I don't tend to like, the callers now are so much. First of all, we have so many more than we used to, so it's hard to, like, get to know them

[Matt Jones]

because some would say the truth, but I think the truth is like a.

[Drew Franklin]

I don't think the truth. No. The truth is Jason, like JCPenney, he

[Shannon]

tries to be one, but it's too

[Drew Franklin]

charming because he's too, too goofy.

[Shannon]

You like it.

[Drew Franklin]

So I can't do it. Curry. Go ahead, Curry.

[Caller]

Hey, guys. Yeah. Prayers for Ryan. We all miss him on the show, but I have something for Drew. But while we were Aaron Grieves, KSR villains, I was leaving a Louisville City game One. Somebody kept stepping on my heels in the crowd, like, and I'm not confrontational, so I was letting it go. Finally I turned around. Like, I tell him to stop it. It's former governor Matt Bevin.

[Drew Franklin]

Like, that's not the Post. The Post Matt Bevin governor's life has been full of a lot. Like, I don't know if people follow news, but I mean, everything. We thought it got worse after he was done, but go ahead.

[Caller]

Oh, yeah, I was thinking about the KSR connection. If. If not for ksr, Matt Bevin wouldn't been governor, then Andy's probably not governor. And I don't know if he'll end up as president. But if he does end up as president, it'll be because.

[Drew Franklin]

No, wait a minute. Okay, hang on. I just got to go through that real quick. That's mind blowing, but not crazy. If Matt Bevin doesn't win, who becomes governor? Probably Jamie Comercial. Right. Because he would have won.

[Caller]

Ticked off the teachers.

[Drew Franklin]

Yes. And then I think Jamie Comer probably wins reelection, which means no Andy Beshear. So think about that for a second, Shannon. If Andy Beshear were to be elected president, and I don't necessarily think that's going to happen, but let's just say he was. You could argue that the KSR Republican primary debate, the butterfly effect.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

You know, change the course of America.

[Matt Jones]

What we do, we make people president. Here at ksr, we're president.

[Drew Franklin]

Nervous. You remember how nervous Ryan was before that debate? Because all he had to do was ring. All he had to do was hit the bell. And Shannon, he was so scared.

[Matt Jones]

I think that's why he only had one job and he took that job so seriously. He's like, I can't screw this up. You know, I mean.

[Drew Franklin]

And yeah, that was wild, too. All right, go ahead, sir. Good Good memory. Oh, yeah.

[Caller]

For Drew. Yeah. Congrats on the baby, Drew. That's awesome. I share the same birthday as Avery. April 14th. I was wondering if you ever heard Drew about it being called ruination day. So April 14th is the same day that Fort Sumter fell. Civil War starts. Lincoln was shot on April 14th. Titanic hits the iceberg on April 14th. And the biggest storm of the dust bowl in the 30s was April 14th. It's all good because we redeem it. We redeem it, man. Like great lives.

[Drew Franklin]

Like Avery. Interesting.

[Shannon]

It's her one month birthday today. So happy. One month.

[Drew Franklin]

So. So she was born the day Lincoln was shot and the Titanic hit the iceberg.

[Shannon]

All right, got that going for your

[Matt Jones]

birthday,

[Drew Franklin]

I think Michael Jackson was born. And Jason Priest to two great MJ's

[Shannon]

birthday with George Bush. Yeah, I got a birthday card from George Bush. I'm sure it's directly from him, but my grandmother wrote the White House and they sent one. That's pretty neat.

[Drew Franklin]

Nice, Rick. Go ahead, Rick.

[Caller]

Yes, sir. After getting hung up on plus just how I like getting

[Matt Jones]

difficulties

[Shannon]

to Ryan.

[Caller]

Hopefully he's doing good.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay, we couple words.

[Caller]

Couple words. Slicker. When the weather's bad, the roads are bad. It's slicker and crap out hell.

[Shannon]

Slicker and crap.

[Caller]

Yep, Slicker. And every day. It's in one of your ads on the thing.

[Drew Franklin]

I do say every day, but there's a. Yeah, I appreciate the call. Those are mispronunciations, though. Those are not really.

[Matt Jones]

Slicker's a word.

[Drew Franklin]

Yes, slicker is a word.

[Matt Jones]

It's more slick.

[Drew Franklin]

Listen, you don't have to get on them.

[Matt Jones]

Why not?

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, you started this show on a heater.

[Matt Jones]

I'm going to end it on one.

[Drew Franklin]

And I thought you had kind of come off of it.

[Shannon]

No, I'm still forgotten about Sean, by the way. I still feel bad for him. It's been almost two hours and I'm. He was so excited.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm going to go as soon as this show's over. I'm going to listen to Shannon's evil laugh after Sean.

[Matt Jones]

Does it get for Sean? He's getting tickets to another game. He'll be okay.

[Caller]

Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

You're just reading the copy. What do I know?

[Drew Franklin]

It says, yes, I believe you.

[Matt Jones]

I'm not holding a copy. But yeah, maybe it's in yours.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, you need to look. See? They said yes. Don't get mad at me. Game 5 of the NHL Eastern Conference. The Montreal versus Buffalo. Shannon, what's the name of each team?

[Matt Jones]

Buffalo Sabers. Montreal Canadiens.

[Drew Franklin]

Nice. Nice.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Two. Two.

[Matt Jones]

I knew that.

[Drew Franklin]

Who wins tonight?

[Matt Jones]

Team America.

[Drew Franklin]

Buffalo taking Buffalo. They're at home. Who wins tonight?

[Shannon]

Canadians in the upset.

[Drew Franklin]

This is going to decide whoever wins the series, which city I'm going to visit.

[Caller]

Oh.

[Drew Franklin]

Because I'm going to go to game three of the Carolina Hurricanes. And Hurricanes have home ice advantage. So this will. This series will decide. Why visit Montreal?

[Shannon]

Got your passport ready?

[Drew Franklin]

I do. Or will I visit Buffalo? Because I'm going to try to go to game five. Assuming they get there in Carolina. But game three in one of these two places.

[Shannon]

High stakes game for you.

[Drew Franklin]

Yes. I gets to. It gets to decide whether or not I leave the continental U.S. we were just in Buffalo.

[Shannon]

Had a great time. We were run that back.

[Drew Franklin]

So we'll find out.

[Shannon]

Some blue cheese if you go.

[Drew Franklin]

We will find out. Hey. Thank you all very much. Fun day. We don't know where we're going to be tomorrow. Billy and I are going to decide this afternoon, but somewhere in Lexington that maybe you can drive by and wave at us. I think we're probably gonna be outside. Unless I think. Ray.

[Shannon]

Get some good weather. Enjoy the elements.

[Drew Franklin]

I think it'll be fun. Thank you all very much. We will see you later. This has been Kentucky sports rad.
