Welcome everyone, Kentucky Sports Radio, Monday, July the twenty eighth.

We are one month away from the start of college football and it is a beautiful Monday morning.

You can give us a shout.

Clark's Puppet Shop fold line eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.

A Vision Auto Glass text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four in this edition sponsored by the TJ Smith Lofice called t J I'll make Them Pay.

It is been a fun weekend and we are getting like I'm starting to get in the mode of Oh, season's not that far away.

Got a cool announcement that we're gonna make a little bit later today, and everything is going well.

What happened to the summer?

August is coming up this week.

It's amazing that media Day and fall Camp starts in a week.

See, I feel like the summer's long because this is the first summer I've been I've been here the whole time because usually basically I'm off in June, but because I took the time in April and then in September, I've been here all summer, and summer's long.

So it's a long summer, especially you know when you're sitting there going all right, what's there to talk about today?

And you just look at blank pages.

You go, all right, we're going to create a show out of this.

But yeah, I've enjoyed it.

Yeah, I mean too.

It's a fast moving summer, but it does feel like that first kickoff is just right around the corner.

I know it's still July, but I feel like we're already in August.

It feels like it's just right in front of.

Its supposed to be like insanely hot day across America, Like they canceled the horse races at Ellis Park.

They said it was too hot for horses.

I think the heat index in parts of western Kentucky is supposed to get to like one o eight to one ten today.

It's been hot for a couple of days, and I guess today's kind of the yesterday.

I felt like when I got outside, you know, I do the Sunday Morning show, and then I walked outside to walk to Chipotle for lunch in Louisville, and I felt like I was stepping into a furnace.

It was the hottest, and that walk walking into this was yesterday was.

Not Did you wear a hoodie while you were walking?

Because I feel like you still wear the hoodie even in the summer.

Now I wear the T shirt like hoodie, like the hooded T shirt, which is which is okay, but still it's not.

It's just I mean, I think I could walk naked it would still be hot.

It's just so hot outside.

I mowed my yard and it's not even a big yard, but it was ninety five when I started, and I didn't think I could get through the issues.

I was absolutely so, does she have like a neighborhood kid?

I enjoy mulling.

I actually looked, all right, you do you know, if I had a big yard, then it's an about an hour and a half.

Get my postmo beer.

It's a it's a whole event.

Were good well in terms of sports this weekend to two major things.

First of all, the summer of ally has officially clicked in.

We wondered when it was gonna happen.

Now it's going.

It's clipped all right.

So they beat the Rays, swept them, swept them.

Billy's Rays got swept.

Both teams came in with the same record.

Both teams were fifty three and fifty.

Both teams trying to decide do you go for it?

Yeah, right, the trade deadline or do you sell?

And really that weekend may have decided because I think the Reds are going and I think the Rays are selling.

And it was exciting.

Man.

I mean I went to the game Friday.

The crowds are starting.

I mean yesterday crowd wasn't great, but the crowd Friday was huge.

Crowd Saturday was huge.

Huge.

Friday in Cincinnati was so they had like a music festival going on at the same time.

Oh so there was like sixty thousand people at the football stadium at the music festival, and then there was forty thousand people at the baseball stadium.

And you want to talk about just people everywhere.

But Ellie gets a bases loaded hit, I go crazy kiss r fans everywhere.

By the way, yeah it's Saturday, when yesterday the Red's probably didn't even deserve to win, and they won.

So I'm starting to feel it now.

They do have the Dodgers this week, which is going to be probably a hit to reality.

But you know, Drew, are you feeling the excitement?

Are you starting to You're starting to want to join the train.

I know you.

Let not forget this is Braves week too, but you are out of it.

You don't have a chance.

Why not join the fun?

Uh No, I'll what you have it.

But I will say I didn't keep up with each game as it was happening.

But last night when I looked up and saw that they were fifty six and fifty, I was like, oh, okay, okay, maybe Hi, maybe there's something here.

Highs record one of those.

Stupid Padres who names the team Padres?

That's father san Diego.

Fathers, what a stupid you shut up?

So uh so, Now, yeah, they play the Dodgers, but they gotta get all their good guys.

The Show is pitching Wednesday.

I'm gonna go.

You gotta go.

I've never seen him pitch.

You gotta seen him hit, but I've never seen him pitch.

I feel like, you gotta go.

And we're pitching like our worst pitchers.

So we're probably gonna lose that game, but I still want to go to say I saw show.

He will definitely have money on that game, you think, so, oh yeah, yeah, are you getting excited?

I know you listen to the games a lot.

I do like to listen to the games.

But even if they don't do against the Dodgers, you swept the Rais, got a chance to maybe.

Sweat the Braves.

Well, we'll see they play one of those games up at the rest.

Yeah, if the field looks awesome those aerial photos of the field, are you.

Gonna go thinking about it?

Thinking about I'm gonna decide midweek decision?

Why not?

Why sixty five thousand people they're expecting to be there.

Yeah, so they still have the that they're putting it in the track.

They're also gonna have in the pre race they're gonna have cars driving around that part.

Yeah, the aerial of the is gonna be kind of cool.

I mean, are you looking I know you that your team's not good chanting, but are you looking forward to seeing that at the racetrack?

I think it's cool.

I mean they do it well.

How many years have they been doing this now a.

Couple of years.

They've never done it at Bristol, but they did something.

I guess it was the.

Tennessee Virginia Tech football game.

Y're about eight years ago, but they have never had a baseball game.

I'll still watch it, still looking forward to it, and the Braves can play spoiler to your Reds wild card hopes, but uh yeah, it should be fun.

Let's see, who are we gonna be pitching in that game?

You got uh yeah, Bird BurrH Singer.

So it's gonna be whoever pitches tonight.

So we're gonna have Chase burn They're gonna have Chase Burns pitching.

Well, so the Fox people are gonna love that.

They're gonna get Chase Burns in that game.

How about, just for a second, how about you were a rookie and here's how you've started your career Yankees at Red Sox, Okay at Metz.

Then he had a game against the Nationals home against the Dodgers, National TV on the Bristol game against it.

That is a tough way to start your career, isn't it.

Yeah, that's a heck of us.

You know, you're just kind of tiptoe in usually to kind of let you start a little easy get.

The hardest run to start a career ever.

So the Reds are on fire.

I'm wearing Red's gear.

You cant got a hat, a hoodie?

How can you be excited now?

The second thing that happened this weekend is the Lexington uh Sea game against Louisville.

Heartbreaking loss for people who didn't see it.

Game was tied for eighty nine minutes at ero.

Then Lexington scores.

It looks like it's going to be a storybook win, packed house, beating your Commonwealth cup breadth were in Who's first in first place and then Louisville scores two goals in the last in extra time.

I liked my text machine which had a lot of people that don't know the rules of soccer that thought they cheated to put extra time on for Louisville.

I had two people write me and go, it's supposed to be over at ninety minutes, and I was like, well, that's.

Not exactly how it works.

You were there, I was.

It was it sad, It was very sad.

It was a lot of fun.

For eighty nine minutes.

Louisville looked like the better team throughout most of it.

I was rooting for a draw.

I even bet on a draw, like a draw would have.

Been a win for me.

Okay, But then Lexington scores in the eighty eight, eighty ninth whatever it was, and we are losing our minds thinking that they're gonna beat Louisville, first time Louisvill's played there, biggest match in history.

We think we're gonna win one.

Oh and then before you could even like react or blink, Louisville ties up, like okay, well back to the.

Draw, and then they immediately score again both times.

I don't know the exact minutes, but call it ninety first, ninety third, something like that.

It was just two instant goals to steal it.

When when Lexington had scored, look down and they've already got the mayor getting ready.

On the field.

Presentation of the trophy.

Everybody is counting this as a win around me, and then Louisville just completely flipped the script.

Cheaters, Louisville.

They I didn't see what they did, but they had to have been absolute cheating.

Oh, certainly cheating.

Steroids.

Uh steroids like you would think in this level soccer they wouldn't take.

But steroids, uh, batting, HG H.

Vote buying.

I mean, there was all kinds of jerry mandering, jerry man jerry manderen stadium.

You would not think you could jerry mander, and then they did.

Now let's talk about the other packed house, right, very packed, packed, sold out, awesome crowd.

Oh, take Oway was there.

I heard the line to get a signature from him was all the way to Tait's Creek rup.

Is that right?

I think that's very accurate.

Yes, so that's good.

I had a fun O way moment.

He was on the field and I was trying to get a picture and I couldn't get a good, good one.

I said, I'm gonna yell his name, and Abby's like.

Don't don't.

I yelled, and he turned and gave me a double peace sign.

So I got to pat myself onto the picture.

After I was told not to do it.

Well, I did it anyway.

You are twice his age, yeah, and I was very far away, but I needed to do I'm a reporter.

I needed a good photo and I saw it.

I thought that I was told not to do it.

I went through it anyway.

We do have to say, though, and again I didn't see it, but apparently, uh, I think it's fair to say traffic issues not good.

Like I had a friend of mine write me from the road, going this is a disaster.

Oh, well, you tell me what happened.

We had four people and I wanted to go early and Telgate, so we got there a little after five.

By about five forty five, we looked up and we could see the chaos already forming an hour behind the match.

Just the line coming in was bad.

Had some friends on Richmond Road say it was already getting bad.

What happened?

Because I mean I had a full house before.

How was this one's managed so much poor?

I heard Richmond Road was terrible.

Then I guess they I don't know if they ran out of parking.

But then there was a shuttle somewhere that you would get on that people weren't planning on a guy K who walked in with like twenty five minutes left in the whole night.

But if you weren't there by six, you probably faced a severe delay.

Even in the second half, when I'm walking around like the concourse area, you could see a lot of people still scanning in in the second half.

Well, I had a friend go who wrote me and said this, you just get ready for the text machine to blow up, And then it did at night of people saying to me that, which is a shame.

You know, it's tough because I mean, I'm sure it's hard to plan for the major crowd, but you get that moment.

But they've also had a full crowd before, so I don't know why it was so bad.

Had they had a crowd this big, Like was there you said, the crowd before?

I think they've been full once.

Maybe it was just everybody arriving so early.

Maybe that's what it was, because I think there was like gonna be a big celebration.

People were treating it like football and tailor.

There's a lot of teligating out there.

I'm glad I went early.

I wasn't even sure I was going to go that early, but I'm glad I did, because not, I don't know when we would have gotten in.

And a few weeks ago they had a big match and there was like food and logistical line issues.

I didn't see as much as that Saturday, but it could have been because people were still outside the stadium, so they I think they figured out their food and beer lines from a few weeks ago, but the traffic was it not.

I mean, let me ask you this.

If you took that aside and you went to that event, does it look like something when you go, this can work.

Yeah, They're gonna need to get more support.

And it's still a year one and a lot of the crowd were Louisville people coming in.

I think the lection crowd still has a ways to go.

But I've been twice and had a blast both times.

It really is an awesome venue out there, with a lot of fun.

You don't even have to like soccer.

There's so much to do.

So I hope it works out, but things like what happens Saturday, they'll have to figure out new plans for their next big match.

Yeah, I think that makes sense.

I would.

I mean I have said to them that, you know, they've advertised on the show I'd love to.

I I mean I went to them before the team even started and said, you know, I'd love to to be a part of this, right Like, I'd like to figure out a way to you know, help you guys, and to also not just with advertising, but to somehow be a part.

When we talked about it and it just didn't This was three four years ago when it first got announced.

It just didn't happen.

But I want it to succeed.

I mean, I think for Lexington, I think it's important to have something succeed here that is not just UK related.

I've always believed that and I'd love to see it succeed.

They got to get through these growing pains obviously for that to happen.

I guess that's what's kind of like disappointing in the Lexisprint Club.

They needed an event like this to kind of showcase everything.

I mean on them.

Yeah, it marks in Little now.

Little has a lot more people than we do, but it works there, so they've got a good base.

I've noticed just driving around town there's a lot of lexing and sc stickers.

I see people out, not even on game days, wearing the gear.

So they have people catching on.

It's just good.

It's time to grow.

Well, hopefully that'll be able to keep happening.

And the summer belly, I mean that's part of it's a distraction of the summer had been.

Yeah, I mean a lot of people are like, oh, some y we need a trade.

That's what we need.

Well, correct, we need to go get one bat and one middle reliever.

I'm all in on YACHTI Diaz, okay for for for Shannon, for the Rays.

Go trade all of our players that stink and go get him.

That feels like a fair trade.

We get rid of the people I don't like.

He could just stayed in town exactly.

He should have done it yesterday.

He wouldn't have even had to get another fly.

But the Braves are gonna be sellers.

They're meeting up this weekend.

Maybe you can, yahr, dude, go shopping on our dugout.

Who isn't what I'm like?

Ozuna?

Isn't that guy?

Yeah, he's not.

He's him.

I don't want him.

I want YACHTI because I also like saying YACHTI e if I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.

Uh, we will take a break, be right back this's KSI quarterback Tekey Sports Radio.

E if I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.

See now people are saying on the text machine that they were doing construction on Richmond Road.

Say like, I'm just gonna say this.

I think I think we have in Lexington a pretty good mayor.

I think Linda Gordon does a pretty good job.

I mean, I still think they got it.

This is gonna be my city, you know, my domestic city thing.

We got to do something about the homelessness thing, like like they you know, just from as a humanitarian, but also like it's everywhere and you go to Louisville and it's a lot better.

So I don't know what happened.

I really don't.

And it's not it's gotten significantly worse in like the last three or four weeks, and I don't know, you know, the city's got to do something.

I'm not saying it's an easy situation.

I don't think it is.

If so, like it would have been solved everywhere, but like go talk to Craig and Louisville.

It's a lot better in Louisville, and it was much worse than Louisville for a long time.

So but so put that to the side.

That's one issue.

But the traffic in this city I don't blame.

It's just always been like this.

But how do you have a big event and then have construction on Richmond Road the only way to get Like, how do you do that?

I don't know, I really don't.

Are there traffic czars like Shannon, Is there someone who's sole job is traffic because there should be, Yeah, especially in this city, because it's the traffic in this city is you know, I go to New York a lot.

Traffic in New York is bad, but it's plannable.

You know where it's gonna be, right, Like, you know, stay away from thirty fourth Street, right, the tunnels getting in and out are gonna be hard.

In Lexington, traffic can hit you at any minute from any place, any place, and there's no rhyme or reason where you just will be like I'm driving down the road, Okay, Newtown Pike is back to Paris at this point, right, Oh, I'm driving down the road Richmond Road.

There is a gorilla match in the middle of it.

Like it is always terrible and you never know where it's gonna hit you.

How is it not better after all of these years.

I don't know.

That's why I was just talking about this with my mom yesterday.

I was showing her I use ways to go pretty much anywhere in Lexton, in places I go weekly, just because I never know what could be between me.

And where I'm going.

It could be a detour I need, so I use ways to go to the grocery store, even though I know exactly where the grocery sty.

I mean, last night, all of downtown was one lane, all of it, like the whole, like literally, if you want to be downtown, there was one lane and they were paving roads.

And actually, I'd prefer them do.

That on a Sunday night, yes, like I I'd rather you do that than during the week.

But I was just driving around one way streets.

I couldn't get anywhere.

Everything was closed off.

You know, I just I hope there's somebody in charge of traffic in Lexington, and then I hope they replaced that person with someone else.

Shit, And because they don't do a good job.

I thought that was like a branch of the police department where you have like traffic, and that's.

What there is.

What they do is there a person that that's their job.

I would think there is.

Can we move them to be in charge of florists.

Possible?

Just something else the thing.

There has to be someone who can do it better than we do it right now.

Especially the lection cycle Club match.

It's not like that just sprung up on like a thunderstorm.

It's been playing for months and there's only one way out there, one way out, one way back.

Like you gotta make sure you don't want to play the road that day.

That's the one day, right.

There are some areas of electionon that have had barrels in the same spot since I moved here twenty something years ago.

Yeah, I completely agree with you.

Newtown Pipe, they've just decided we'll be in construction.

We will all die and they will still be trying to make that third lane on Newtown Pipe and.

They're still buildings.

This is out there.

Walmart just got put up in six minutes.

You know where was that km what Kroger Croker not k MARTO.

They're going the other way.

There's a Kroger out there there.

Just I think they literally put it up in two days.

So traffic just gonna get worse with the new right.

How did that come.

Nobody even lives out there?

Why is there a Kroger.

I think they're gonna they're building one, is gonna build around it.

Amazon.

That took a three days.

Yep.

All out there on hol Road needs is more tight.

I'm done with this traffic.

I'm just saying to you.

Like I listened to Offster non af Traffick Report.

I'm not exactly sure how I got off on that.

But all right.

On Friday, I had on my Interrupted by Matt Jones podcast, Matt Norland.

Okay, really good episode.

I think we had two of our best episodes last week with Tommy Vitour and Matt Norlander.

If you haven't yet subscribed to Interrupted by Matt Jones, give it a nice rating.

It's rising on the on the chart.

Like we every episode gets more downloaded in the last.

But Matt Norlander was all college basketball.

People say, Mat, you're talking about to politics.

This is college basketball, and if you want more of these things, you got to listen to them.

He was talking about Kentucky's roster and he said that he thinks Kentucky's roster this year costs conservatively fifteen to sixteen million dollars or all the way up to potentially twenty million.

Now, he makes the point that the people that played this year will get more money than anyone's got gonna get in the next ten years because they got double paid, they got the rev Chaer and the Nile.

Basically, he was like, if you're in college basketball this year, thank your lucky stars.

This was the year to be in college basketball.

Which was interesting.

But let's say he's right that it's fifteen to sixteen million dollars up to twenty does it make you put more pressure on Kentucky based on how much money they're being paid or do you not care?

I pretty much don't care.

But as far as grading Pope and how he's doing overall, I do keep in the back of my brain that he's taken well care of with Nil and that he shouldn't have any problems building a roster.

But you know, when we get to February and they're at whatever Auburn on a Saturday night, no part of me, ero part of me, will think about money and Nil and what's going on with their bank accounts.

What do you think, right?

I mean, is there a when you're grading Pope at the end of the season, or any coach should how much money They're like, do you say, Okay, this isn't a a Sweet sixteen team, but considering the money, it should have been a Final four team for UK basketball.

I probably don't think that way unless the number was bigger, like thirtyollion, thirty thirty million.

Or something like that.

That's when I would probably think, come on, man, you spend all this money, you gotta win more games.

For twelve to fifteen million with twelve players a million or sole a player, I think, yeah, man, go for it.

What if I tell you it's the third highest in the country.

It should be should be the highest.

That doesn't mean you expect them to be the third best team in the country.

No, I like, I'm kind of drew on that.

You know, the UK basketball you're gonna take care of itself once the game starts.

I'm not thinking about much.

Do you care?

Yeah, I mean I do think it matters.

If you got that kind of money, you're investing in it, you expect results.

So you know, if you get to the NCAA tournament they losing the first round, we say, we just invested twenty million to lose in the first round.

People are gonna be happy about it.

I think that's where you'll hear a lot of complaints if they were lose in the first round or something.

For me, I'm kind of like Drew in the sense of it's not my money.

Where I think it's going to matter is when we find out how much of the REV Share money goes to each sport.

So if Mitch Barnhardt makes the decision that basketball is going to get thirty to forty percent of the REV share and we're going to give less to football, and our football team suffers, then I think our basketball team has to be good, you know what I mean?

Like, because that is a limited pool of money, and athletic departments are going to choose what to focus on.

When they make a decision to choose to focus on a sport, I think it's rational for friend Basis to say, now I expect that sport to be good.

Yeah, right, Yes?

Do you agree with that?

Yeah?

Definitely.

I don't care necessarily about the nile from the collectives because it's not my money.

But if we're going to take our REV share money and focus on a sport, then that sport has to perform.

In my opinion, A five nine eight twenty two eighty seven.

We'll take a break.

Be right back.

Its Kiosi TJ.

Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.

He'll make them pay.

Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

Here's Matt Jones.

Welcome back Kentucky Sports Radio.

If I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven, one person says Matt.

I would not blame the city of Lexington for the traffic.

I would blame the state and Butcher, I blame the state when it's on state roads, but in the city of Lexington, I'm on the city.

Yeah.

Like, now, if the city people were to tell me we can't do anything about it the state keeps it, then I'll I'll blame the state.

But like, I don't think the state is in charge of Richmond Road.

I mean maybe they are.

I don't think they are.

Though outside of man of War maybe, But.

I mean, like when there's a traffic jam in Middlesbrough on Nineteenth Street, is that the State?

I don't think so.

I think it's the city, right.

Like going on on Nineteenth Street in Middlesborough.

I just picked a street in there, but I just so, yeah, I blame him.

One person writes, Matt, you look at the facts.

Homelessness is down thirty three percent in Lexington.

I don't believe that.

I'm not trying to be like a truther and that's like I you know, but I don't believe that I've done your own time I live downtown, I see it.

I mean, if they are that might be official, but there is ero doubt in my mind that there is more homelessness in downtown Lexington and around campus now than there's ever been since I've been here.

There's no doubt in my mind about that.

It's like every intersection.

Every intersection, and there's some and I'm not mad at these people.

The factors that cause that are infinite, you know, addiction, joblessness, you know, there's a lot of things.

But the city, like it's a negative for those people, but it's also a negative for the businesses.

It's a negative for the community.

Like it has to be treated as a serious problem in a city, and I don't feel like Lexington does.

It was awful in Louisville.

It was like terrible, and it has gotten better.

I don't know what they did, but it is better.

Lexington's got to find a way to do the same thing.

You know, you're downtown.

I mean there's a couple of street corners.

That street corner where Tin Roof is, yes, I mean that's and that's on campus.

And then right there in front of Ropperina.

Yeah, not the where the Wildcat Liquor is.

There's just you've like everybody knows, why do we try to act like it's not but the one at campus right there at Tin Roof, I don't understand how that's There are businesses all over there, and there are fifteen people there all times of day, all night.

I go downtown for breakfast almost every weekend.

Shout out Pearls Bagels.

But it's across from the courthouse and I'm sitting there eating and I'm having this like there's just so many out there, and that's early on Saturdays.

Sad and like, So they're building these parks downtown.

You're gonna have the place behind Rupperina, You've got the place next to this building right out here, you've got the new courthouse.

Those are beautiful things that will help the city.

But go there and and it's just it's homelessness everywhere.

Like those places won't succeed if you do that, and it's not fair to those people, and it's not fair to the general public.

So you gotta find something.

We gotta find a way to do it.

I don't know what it is.

I'm not sitting here telling you how my answers.

But other cities have cleaned it up.

Lexington has to make it a priority.

Do you agree?

Oh?

You know the homeless shelters out there off loud and close to Russell Cave.

You know, they keep building and building and building.

I'm thinking, is it getting that.

I don't desp I wish I knew what.

I don't think it's an easy solution, but I know what's not working.

But we're doing whatever we're doing right now.

It's like the hotter it gets, the more people are coming out.

Man, it's super hot.

It's it's it's it's awful.

Yeah.

So anyway, I'll get off on that.

That huge art exhibit they're putting in front of the courthouse by the way it is, and that's a lot where they're homeless people gather.

I don't know what that's there for, what that will impact, but that is a huge exhibit going up right now.

I don't know what it is, but go ahead, John.

John, Good morning, fellas, good morning.

It's good.

First time, long time.

Go ahead, John, Yes, thank.

You, thank you.

Are you guys aware of a report that says that the UFL Football League was making plans to move four teams.

Yeah, and we talked about that.

We talked about that last week.

Yeah, we talked about that last week.

It's exciting.

I hope it happens.

Well, it is, it is, I'd like to see that happen.

Secondly, to your point about the roads, we had this issue at Richmond, came down of the dally and I learned that major roads like US twenty seven, US sixty, US twenty five, all those roads are statements.

Well, if they are, then and I appreciate the call.

If they are sure they are state roads.

I don't know who handles when to put the cones up, but if it's the state, then, Jim Gray, we gotta work on it.

That's all I'm saying.

If I were governor, would you like to If I were governor or mayor, you know what my rule would be to be, we only fix roads after eight o'clock at night.

Yeah.

Now, some things you can't help.

I understand some things you gotta leave up.

I get that, but like it would be especially in the summer, it's so hot for those people.

Can you By the way, there's a commercial that runs during the Reds game.

Have you seen it?

That's eye opening.

It's like this thing.

It's an Ohio based commercial that basically says, people slow down when you're in construction ones and it shows these people working on roads and how fast the cars go by, and Shannon Is I saw it and it was like the first time it hit me, Yeah, we do go too fast when those people are on the interstate, you know, when they're out there, like it was showing people working on the interstate and how fast the cars fly by.

Some of these people, you're just a few feet away from them.

You are just right next to them.

And I have to tell you when I saw it, that commercial worked on me.

The next time I drive through one of those, I'm driving slower because it was now.

I'll probably get sick of it.

They'll probably run it like all those Reds commercials nine million times.

But it actually worked because I was like, whoa, that is right next to those people.

I had my eyes open.

Changing a tire on the left side of the car.

Yeah, cars that don't get over when people are on the shoulder.

I mean I probably didn't do it every time until I was actually one of them.

That is terrifying if you're just standing there on that line because they're coming at you, and you're like, I hope they're paying attention.

I don't know.

So I would encourage, you know, if you see someone on the side of the road or work or whatever, please get.

Over to the left and get all the time, do it at not not too I can't believe this is just turned into old man traffic.

They also like, is there is there any traffic on the planet worse than the traffic getting into Cincinnati?

No, No, trying to get across that bridge.

How has that never gotten better in seventy five years?

So you said it was the music festival at the football stadium and a baseball all the time.

It's like that all it's there's no time of day, there's no traffic.

It backs up all the way to what those backs up to, like Florence Lawren't y'all?

Yeah, it's crazy.

Russ go ahead runs.

Hey guys, good morning, greetings from Vanderberg County, UH to talk about what you were talking about earlier about UH expectations with nil.

Remember back in the day when Kentucky would be losing and in football and they would go off the field at halftime and people would start booing, and we would say, oh, don't boo the players, don't do the players need to do the coaches?

Well, what if Kentucky's down by ten at halftime against Toledo or they end up losing the game by three against Toledo, can they can they boo?

Yeah?

They probably will.

I'm not I've never been as anti booing as other people.

I don't like when you boo individual players.

So I don't like when, for instance, a player makes a bad play and you boo a college player.

I don't like it.

Now I do do.

I think it's gonna happen more now in the days that people get paid.

Yes, I do.

Booing coaches hang on booing coaches, I think is much more understandable.

But I don't think booing is like this sacred.

I boo the umpires at every Reds game, but I don't think booing is necessarily about I don't like when it's targeted, though, at one player, a college player.

I've never really enjoyed that it can happen.

Sometimes it happens.

I would never really boom owned team regardless.

I mean, I'll get mad and you know, cuss under my breath or text people, you know.

But as far as like booing my own team even when I'm upset, I don't.

I don't think my other team my own team.

But there are people that do.

Are you Does it make you mad when people boo?

You know what happens start happening a lot.

When it's fourth and short and they decide to punch that I go for it.

Then yes, I say, coaching decision, it's okay to booh.

Like when we when we punted against Georgia last year.

Yes, I think that's a legit boo, and it was you ain't got the legit boo Shannon.

Oh yeah, I think so.

But then again, it's not those people out there.

That's not their job on the line.

You know, if you make the wrong call, you don't.

Yeah, you don't just go with the fans.

With the fans, I think it's okay.

Like when Mark Stoops punted against Georgia, I was booing in the ESPN Bosses house.

I was looking at Mario and booing in his face because that I knew you knew we were going to lose.

As soon as he did that, there was no way where we're going to win.

Call.

You're the one who has to answer to it, not all those fans that are booing you.

So that's true.

You know you can't happen to do what you.

He didn't make the right call and we ended up losing.

I was gonna add a I wouldn't boo someone dropping a pass or missing a shot either, but a coaching decision where I want to be like, we should have been more aggressive, like Kentucky football.

We've seen him give up fourteen points at the end of the second quarter in a minute many times into the first half.

If you're booing like how half ended, probably directed at the coach, that's fine, But booing a guy for a mistake, I don't do that.

All I want to feature at the game where it's like who wants to be a million let's pull the audience, should we go for it or punt it?

And then when they say we go for it and you don't make it and go, well, all the fans wanted it.

That.

Actually, if I was a coach, i'd before that send it to the audience.

If they get it wrong.

You know what, audience see there, eat it there you go boo.

Audience appreciate the call.

If you ordered something online for to arrive looking nothing like the picture.

What no Cha lend of Farms, that never happens.

We'll take a break and be right back.

It's KSR.

Welcome back.

Take you sports radio A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.

Text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four at kay we Schwitzer.

You know, let's go over a couple of quick things here.

First of all, did you see the new happy Gilmore.

Yet of course I didn't see it good or bad.

It's it's kind of a split online, I say, very entertaining.

As far as being a good movie, I don't even really know what the plot was.

In hindsight, it felt like a bunch of celebrity skits put together.

But I still love the two hours.

I mean it was it was good watch.

I mean, it's so hard to keep up with how many people are in it.

It is just one after another.

They're like in the background.

It's almost a game trying to see how many celebrities you can is it?

What's I haven't seen it?

What's the plot?

He's going against Shooter again.

I don't want to spoil anything, but there's a new league kind of got to live twist, which is weird because they used Brooks and Bryson to like go against this new live That was a weird angle.

But yeah, and uh, Sandler's daughter, it's both of his real daughters plays daughters in the movie.

Okay.

One of them is like needs money to go to ballet school or something, so he realizes he has to go play golf again.

He's he's coming back while facing this new a Shooter in it.

Shooters in it, a lot of cameos.

Will Zelatoris and Scottie Shuffler are the highlights.

They make fun of themselves pretty well, all.

Right, I'm looking forward to that.

He's good.

It was really fun to watch.

As far as I've.

Watched the first hour of it.

I enjoyed John Daily.

John Dealy is really good in it to me.

Have you seen it, Shannon, No.

I haven't seen it yet.

I probably will at some point.

This tie I'm gonna watch.

I spent most of my weekend with the Reds and Gilded Age.

Uh you know, listen, let me tell you something.

You all you gotta do it.

I know you don't want to do it.

The first couple of look, Marian is a dud.

Just understand that the main relationships are dud Marian and Tom Dudds.

I don't know, they're both duds.

I'm seven episodes in.

They haven't done one thing interesting.

Get them out of my show.

But everybody else oh so good.

Still totally into Bertha, although she's mean.

Agnes is such a mean old woman, and I like it.

You got miss Cornelius.

There's just so many good things, and I'm in and for those of you that have written me.

It's not a large group, but for those of you that have and said you've watched it, you know what you we know something other people don't.

It's fun and well I do a podcast about it.

Maybe I'm gonna watch it.

I'm a little behind.

Last night I started to turn it on, but I still had a dexter or some other things, so I push it off.

But maybe tonight i'll have.

You're gonna like it.

There's so much, so much social intrigue.

And the thing that's cool is it actually follows history.

When you watch events happen, you can look them up that they happen in real life.

And I find that very very interesting.

So I'm enjoying that.

It's next on our list.

We're actually gonna go sit it and.

Go through it.

Tyle Childers has a new album.

I like it.

I don't love it, but I like it.

I like it better than a couple of things he's done recently.

Still not Purgatory.

I'm just gonna have to accept that it'll never be another Purgatory, but I like it.

I think it's gotten some harsh reviews from people.

I don't think that's fair.

Well, it's new.

I mean, it's very much like it looks like it sounds like Tyler took mushrooms and I know he's like gone clean, so I know that's not what it is, but it seems like maybe he went to an ayahuasca retreat and then did the That's kind of what it seems like.

But it's still very much sounds like him, and it's mountain and he uses country phrases.

He's basically like.

There's a song where he says he wishes that he was a dog with rabies and if he did, he bite you first, and like things like that that I think are really good lines.

I heard about that one.

I want to hear that one.

I haven't listened to any of it, but at least of my friends everyone liked it.

So people out there aren't liking it.

Yeah, that except people are, but you know what, they just like to complain.

I like it.

I think if you're ranking Tyler albums, it's not going to be in the top two or three for me, but I think it's better.

I actually enjoy it more than I have the last couple, so I'm I'm for it.

But it does sound like he he I understand he's gone clean, so this clearly, but it's it seems like he's done trooms when he did it, like it's very much.

It's it sounds like that Stergel album that met a mo sounds of when they were like turtles flying in the sky.

Like it's it's that that's.

A white album.

You know, they all, you know, all musicians take their turns in twilt.

That's exactly what it sounds like.

And so if if you're fine with that, which I am, I mean I I I'm good with it.

Have they released any singles off of it yet?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know that so well.

I mean I just listened to the whole album.

I don't know.

Do they even do singles anymore?

Like is he played on the radio?

Like almost never?

He has to be one of the biggest musicians in the world that doesn't get played on the radio.

Like think about it.

Who is a bigger musician that you can think of that doesn't get played on the radio than him?

Dat he doesn't.

Dave Matthews means a good one, but some of his stuff's on the radio.

I'm like satellite and crash into me and that stuff's been in on the radio.

It may not now because I don't know what station would play it, but it was on in the nineties.

Why do you think that is?

Because he's selling out huge venues?

Whose country radio city music play him?

And I would say, you know, is he the biggest country star?

No, but I would say he's in the top fifteen.

How many country music people can sell out Madison Square Garden back to back nights?

Many?

Morgan Walling?

Could you know Stapleton?

Stapleton?

Could?

I bet there's like ten?

But he can.

So why don't they play him on the radio?

I was always curious why they never even locally here in the.

Connect Yeah, I mean, we don't even play him here?

Should we walk in this other room and turn it on right next to us?

But I don't understand, Shannon, why would you not play him?

Unfortunately, music stations have become so cookie cutter and if you don't fit their image, they don't play you.

But from here, I know it, and there's great rock bands that are from here that they don't get played on rock radio.

It's crazy.

I agree, it is kind of crazy exactly.

I liked it.

I thought it was good Donna, go ahead.

Don, let's how are you this morning?

I wanted to go back to the Richmond Road traffic situation.

I live off Richmond Road, and the reason that they have to keep those cones up even on the weekend when they're not working, is because they are digging so far down over where the shoulder is supposed to be.

There's no way you want to get over there to fall in.

I don't want to fall in.

Or it would be detrimental to your vehicle, for sure.

Yes, So I have read that this construction will be ongoing until sometime next summer, so it isn't going away.

That's it is on time.

I just feel like the world is under perpetual construction and some of it will never real I seventy five South has been under construction since Truman was president, and they've never finished any of it ever.

When I was a kid, and I appreciate to go ahead, Donna, I want.

To just give you what little bit I knew, because those soccer folks out there, they're just gonna have to figure something out there to.

Deal with it, all right.

I appreciate call.

When I was a kid, they were building the tunnel from Middlesborough to Harrogate from the day I was born, and I was convinced it would never be finished ever, like ever in the history of mankind.

It When we moved to Middlesborough when I was five, they were working on the tunnel and then it did not finish until I was in college.

And I remember when they announced it was finished.

I thought they were liars, all of them.

Uh, But then they did and it was fifteen years for them to build that tunnel.

You know here and tell you that little road right in front of your house is like an obstacle course right now.

Oh my goodness, that little road right in front of my house.

I don't know if they're trying to dig to China.

I don't know what they're doing.

They are out there.

It is so loud.

They have put metal plates that are ten feet higher than the road up.

You literally have to have four wheel drive to drive it down over it.

Right.

It's a mess for people who.

I mean, I don't want to tell you where I live, but it's not hard.

There are massive plates up in the road, aren't there.

Yes, When is that going to be fitshed?

I didn't even know it was there until I went over it this weekend.

I'm literally becoming old man.

My grandparents going in the bank.

Got on a fan of the road, but you know what, that's fine.

Our two we're talking police, talking a little basketball and football Kentucky stuff.

I promise when we return.

This is Kazar
