Speaker 6: and everybody loves strings them all together.
Speaker 3: Yeah.

Speaker 6: of his famous jingles.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: You know, I was just sitting here thinking too.
Speaker 2: Every day we're together for two hours, I probably spend
Speaker 2: more time either talking to you guys, or at least
Speaker 2: doing the show with you guys than I do my
Speaker 2: own family, you know, like we do ten hours a
Speaker 2: week together. I don't know if I spend ten hours
Speaker 2: a week speaking to my parents, Actually I know, I don't,
Speaker 2: So you know, it's just one of those things where
Speaker 2: you start putting it together and how many hours we've
Speaker 2: done radio over the years together, and you times that
Speaker 2: by what fifteen years or something like that. We've done
Speaker 2: a lot of radio. So I'm happy to have you
Speaker 2: guys here with us, and we're gonna get into some
Speaker 2: random stuff. But yeah, speaking of concerts, Bush, last night
Speaker 2: I went to see Bush Ryan. I'm assuming Drew, you
Speaker 2: know who Bush is. You probably know who the band
Speaker 2: Hoopa Stink is.
Speaker 5: Oh, I love some move Steak Ryan.
Speaker 2: Do you know who either one of those bands are.
Speaker 6: I've heard of both of them, but I couldn't tell
Speaker 6: you a Bush song, but I know they're out there.
Speaker 2: Glycerin Glistens a good one, Yeah, Seren, I know that song.
Speaker 3: Yep, they thought that was Nirvana.
Speaker 2: No, that's a Bush song.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: But I bring this up because I have some observations
Speaker 2: about going to see a band from the nineties that's
Speaker 2: basically a nostalgia band at this point.
Speaker 4: First of all, the people that were there are all,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 2: Forty plus, and they're all sort of reliving their glory years.
Speaker 2: And I'm looking around and I'm seeing people in their sixties,
Speaker 2: probably wearing stuff that they should wear. I'm talking about
Speaker 2: man and women. The first thing I see when I
Speaker 2: walk in as a guy that has a big beer
Speaker 2: belly and the shirt wouldn't even pull down over his belly.
Speaker 2: The belly's just hanging out and he's just standing there
Speaker 2: and everybody's walking by going through the line, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: all right, this is gonna be an interesting show already,
Speaker 2: Like the people watching is incredible. But as I'm watching
Speaker 2: all these people in their forties, fifties, and sixties, I
Speaker 2: just came to the realization of, man, I am old.
Speaker 2: I am old, Like this is now like the bands
Speaker 2: that I grew up listening to, this is their their demo.
Speaker 2: Now it's forty fifty sixty year old people. And I
Speaker 2: just came to that reminder. I mean, I didn't just
Speaker 2: realize that I'm old yesterday. I knew that, but it
Speaker 2: was just another reminder that man, I'm getting old. And
Speaker 2: these people that are there are all just rocking it out.
Speaker 4: But it's like it's kind of depressing a little bit.
Speaker 2: And I just I wondered, guys, if you like remember
Speaker 2: the first time that you came to the realization that
Speaker 2: you're now old, because I could tell you mine. Mine
Speaker 2: was about ten years old, but ten years ago when
Speaker 2: I walked into QMF, which is a classic rock station,
Speaker 2: and they were playing Bush and Nirvana and all these
Speaker 2: bands that I grew up, and I'm going, what's going
Speaker 2: on here? Like what these bands are being played on
Speaker 2: QMF now? And I think it was a Minnetti that
Speaker 2: looked at me and goes, yeah, dude, that song's twenty
Speaker 2: five years old. I'm going, oh my god, I am old.
Speaker 2: So Ryan, do you have like a moment that you
Speaker 2: just remember, like it came to you that, oh my god,
Speaker 2: I'm actually old. Now I'm the old guy.
Speaker 3: I can save it with honesty. It happened this morning.
Speaker 2: Do you just realize you're old this morning?
Speaker 5: First time?
Speaker 6: No, not the first time, but for the first time, Oh,
Speaker 6: the first time.
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 3: The first time is easy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I just got the job here in Lexington, so I'm
Speaker 6: like thirty years old, and my buddy Punk takes me
Speaker 6: to a place called Two Keys, tavern.
Speaker 3: Uh huh.
Speaker 6: And I walk in there and the high school kid
Speaker 6: that I just covered in the basketball game before I
Speaker 6: went to Two Keys Cavern is in Two Keys Tavern
Speaker 6: and he's in high school.
Speaker 3: I remember, Okay, yeah.
Speaker 6: I I need to get this is not the place
Speaker 6: for me. That's the first realization, like I am old
Speaker 6: when high school I see high school kids in the bar.
Speaker 2: I remember Dawson who used to call into the show,
Speaker 2: or when people will come up to us Drew and go, yeah,
Speaker 2: I used to listen to you when I was a
Speaker 2: little kid. And they're now twenty two years old, and
Speaker 2: I'm going, oh my god, have we really been on
Speaker 2: the radio that long? Do you have one for you? Drew?
Speaker 2: Like where you're you go? Man, I'm the old guy now.
Speaker 5: Well the one you just mentioned happened to me twelve
Speaker 5: hours ago. Last night, I went to an event in Lexington.
Speaker 5: There was like a little private they had like invited
Speaker 5: influencers and just kind of people from around likes and
Speaker 5: there's some music. It's a good time at the Bourbon Hotel.
Speaker 5: But there was a lot of younger female like social
Speaker 5: media influencers there and I was like, oh, I already
Speaker 5: fell out of place, but I was having a good time.
Speaker 5: And then when I was like, hey, you're Drew. I
Speaker 5: grew up listening to you and I just just stared
Speaker 5: at my bourbon. It's like, yeah, nice to meet you.
Speaker 5: Help me over here in the corner by myself leaning
Speaker 5: on the wall. So that happened last night, but it
Speaker 5: happens a lot at UK media events. I don't remember
Speaker 5: the first time, but it happens a lot, say, interviewing
Speaker 5: players and you ask them who they grew up watching
Speaker 5: and they say someone that I feel like was three
Speaker 5: years ago. They'll be like, oh, I grew up watching
Speaker 5: Shay and you're like not John Wall, and like now
Speaker 5: it's before my time and it's like, my goodness, John
Speaker 5: Wall feels like yesterday. Or just looking around the media room.
Speaker 5: When I started, it was a lot of the names
Speaker 5: that have moved on. Bromley colors around a little bit,
Speaker 5: but you know, he's mostly retired, Tipton, they're all gone,
Speaker 5: and now I'm one of the veterans and older people
Speaker 5: in there. So really going to work anything UK related,
Speaker 5: whether talking to players or just looking at on the room,
Speaker 5: I definitely feel old.
Speaker 2: Billy said that I'm also old because I posted a
Speaker 2: concert video. I guess that's an old person thing now.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I always did it even when I
Speaker 2: was younger, But is that an old man move posting
Speaker 2: a concert video? I didn't like post the entire concert
Speaker 2: because I've noticed you can go on YouTube. There's a
Speaker 2: great thing about if you're a concert fan and you
Speaker 2: want to see your favorite band play from last night,
Speaker 2: there's some people that will film the entire show.
Speaker 4: I don't need that.
Speaker 2: I grab like maybe a minute of my favorite song,
Speaker 2: and I may post it on like an Instagram story,
Speaker 2: or maybe I'll post a Twitter or Facebook whatever. But Drew,
Speaker 2: is that an old man move now to post a
Speaker 2: concert video if you're at a show.
Speaker 5: I mean, I do it.
Speaker 3: We're all old.
Speaker 2: I guess you know.
Speaker 5: I don't record the whole concert, but there have been
Speaker 5: times where like an artist will do an acoustic version,
Speaker 5: or maybe they'll do a cover, or I've recorded it
Speaker 5: and I've actually gone back and listened to it several times.
Speaker 5: I've even like put my own videos onto Spotify before
Speaker 5: because it was such a unique one off thing. And
Speaker 5: then you know and obviously post that. So I know
Speaker 5: some people say you put your phone. Buckle up, put
Speaker 5: your phone down at concerts. But there's been times where
Speaker 5: I've captured something that I've listened to five years later,
Speaker 5: and I'm sure I posted it in the moment too.
Speaker 2: Ryan, Do you do that when you go to the
Speaker 2: shows or are you the course? Are you the guy
Speaker 2: that's knocked like, Okay, here's the thing You're gonna come
Speaker 2: to Bourbon and be on later this year?
Speaker 7: Who?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Blowfish is gonna play there?
Speaker 3: Absolutely?
Speaker 2: Are you gonna have your phone out the entire time?
Speaker 6: Does a fat baby fart? Of course, I'm gonna have
Speaker 6: my phone out the whole time. That's what I want
Speaker 6: to relive, those memories. And I don't care if I
Speaker 6: post it. I don't care if you like it or not.
Speaker 6: That's a good thing. I getting old. We can do
Speaker 6: whatever we want and then I don't care what you
Speaker 6: think about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: But my moment this morning when I felt old is
Speaker 6: when you said Mick Jagger was eighty two years old
Speaker 6: to Billy, and I realized I'm closer to Mick Jagger's
Speaker 6: age than I am to Billy's age. Oh my god,
Speaker 6: it's off realization. It made me feel like, oh my goodness,
Speaker 6: I am.
Speaker 3: I am old, So.
Speaker 5: Another one for me. I have a little bit of
Speaker 5: gray hair in the beard, you know, especially in the goatee.
Speaker 5: And I can't remember the exact concert, but I was
Speaker 5: at Repperina in the beer line and I was still
Speaker 5: getting carted. Well after twenty one makes you feel good?
Speaker 5: And he said, I don't need your idea. I see
Speaker 5: the coconut and he pointed at my little goates. I
Speaker 5: was like, ah, so I'm getting called out from a
Speaker 5: white beard. So that that that made me feel old too.
Speaker 2: See. I take it now as a compliment when I
Speaker 2: get carted to buy a beer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, to be a hassle.
Speaker 2: You know, right when you turn twenty okay, let me
Speaker 2: where's my idea? Let me find okay, here it is now,
Speaker 2: you know, forty three years old to okay?
Speaker 3: You know, see you right, you're begging them please please
Speaker 3: card me.
Speaker 2: Of course they're carding everybody, but you know, I like
Speaker 2: to feel special, so I take it as a compliment
Speaker 2: when they do that.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: The other takeaway that I had though was that I
Speaker 2: don't know if this is a thing anymore. You mentioned
Speaker 2: Mick Jagger. You know, Mick Jagger is a rock star,
Speaker 2: he looked like a rock star. As I'm watching these
Speaker 2: bands last night, none of them looked like they were
Speaker 2: even like in a band. They look like just regular Joe's,
Speaker 2: like they could have been out, you know, in the crowd,
Speaker 2: or could have been a part of the road crew
Speaker 2: or something like that.
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's just a a thing that
Speaker 4: is gone by the way.
Speaker 2: So over the years, the guys that look like they're
Speaker 2: like actual rock stars on stage. The leads here for
Speaker 2: who the State comes out and he looks like I
Speaker 2: didn't know if he was like part of the Roady
Speaker 2: crew or what, But I was like, all right, I
Speaker 2: guess that's just not a thing anymore. For some of
Speaker 2: these bands, they don't they don't put any effort into
Speaker 2: their look anymore. They're definitely not David Bowie, you know,
Speaker 2: going out there all glam.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you missed the days of the massive eighties hair
Speaker 6: and the makeup and the glitzy uniforms and costumes.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So like when we went to see def Leppard and
Speaker 2: Motley Crue and Joan Jed and Poison at Hershey Park,
Speaker 2: like those guys, you know, they look like they belonged
Speaker 2: up there. But these guys, I was like, all right,
Speaker 2: I guess this is the band. I wasn't sure if
Speaker 2: the show was starting or not. Anyway, if you got
Speaker 2: a time that you know the realization of I'm now
Speaker 2: the old guy or I'm now the old woman eight
Speaker 2: five nine, twenty two eighty seven, I want to know
Speaker 2: the moment you came to realize that you were old,
Speaker 2: because I just got a very good reminder of that
Speaker 2: last night.
Speaker 4: All right, guys, on tonight TBT, it's Game three.
Speaker 2: We've got Memorial Coliseum hosting it and our very own Mario, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, maybe we need to bring him in
Speaker 2: on this is reporting that Archie good One is in
Speaker 2: Lexington and we'll play. No, I'm not gonna go against Mario.
Speaker 2: If Mario says it, I believe it. But is there
Speaker 2: any chance that Archie is in town? But maybe he's
Speaker 2: just going to a wedding and he's not gonna play
Speaker 2: tonight because we need Archie tonight.
Speaker 5: It was actually just confirmed up by TBT on Twitter.
Speaker 5: They put out the roster Archie is active and Marcus
Speaker 5: Lee is not, and why we bother listing him now?
Speaker 5: But they have confirmed Archie is active for tonight.
Speaker 2: So Mario at the scoop, take that look at that bang?
Speaker 5: What's up man?
Speaker 4: Welcome to the show, buddy.
Speaker 2: So, uh, we're gonna win tonight, right, we got Archie,
Speaker 2: We got Archie. Are we still riffing on each other
Speaker 2: or the guys getting along?
Speaker 9: Yeah, they're getting along, man.
Speaker 3: They know the job.
Speaker 9: The job is to get the w tonight. That's that's
Speaker 9: what they're planning on doing.
Speaker 4: So so what about Willie.
Speaker 2: I hear that he's he's expected to give it a
Speaker 2: go after getting injured.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I don't know anything about Willie, but you know, yeah,
Speaker 9: they're hopeful that he's gonna play tonight. We're gonna need him.
Speaker 9: This is one game that we need so well.
Speaker 2: I mean, one thing's for sure. We cannot have the
Speaker 2: Bill come in here and beat us in Lexington. That
Speaker 2: can't happen tonight.
Speaker 5: So I don't, I don't.
Speaker 9: I'm hoping that's not gonna happen. But it's gonna be great, man,
Speaker 9: its gonna be It's gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 9: This is what it's all about. One game, a lot
Speaker 9: on the line, and you know, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 9: I'm I'm I'm confident in my guys right.
Speaker 2: I know that the there's been a lot of controversy
Speaker 2: around the team, but I kind of like it, like
Speaker 2: this has been the most entertaining part.
Speaker 5: Did you drama?
Speaker 2: Did you guys right? Did you see Andrew? Mario? Did
Speaker 2: you guys see Aaron Harrison? He retweeted a tweet that
Speaker 2: said something to the effect of that Andrew is gonna
Speaker 2: be the only Harrison twin to ever lose to.
Speaker 6: Lobelle talking smack to his own brother.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 2: That's good stuff.
Speaker 3: But you guys are right, man.
Speaker 6: Nobody wearing red comes and wins at Memorial Costing, not
Speaker 6: just Memorial Cossium, historic Memorial Cosseum. That's just not going
Speaker 6: to happen. So I bet there's a big crowd there tonight.
Speaker 6: I bet it's a great crowd, very vocal, and I'm
Speaker 6: excited to watch it now.
Speaker 2: I understand it's wild Eggs Wednesday. Mario, are we doing
Speaker 2: that right out the gate today or do you want to.
Speaker 9: See We can do it. You're you're hosting, so you've
Speaker 9: picked the tom. Whenever you want me to post it,
Speaker 9: I'll post it, and we can do it on Instagram.
Speaker 2: We've already kept the scrambled word I do. Okay, all right,
Speaker 2: we'll go ahead and post it now. I'll post it live,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 5: We're posting it on Instagram. Chaos on the Show?
Speaker 3: Are the Show Instagram?
Speaker 6: All right, kas are the Show on Instagram. If you
Speaker 6: know first segment Wild Egg's Wednesday.
Speaker 4: You know, here's the deal.
Speaker 2: If I don't get to it now, I'm going to
Speaker 2: forget about it and it won't get done. So we're
Speaker 2: gonna knock it out right now. I need to do it.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna okay, I'll take listen it right now, post
Speaker 2: it now. I'll jump on during the break here and
Speaker 2: I'll see if I can figure it out, and we'll
Speaker 2: come right back. We'll take your calls. Eight five nine
Speaker 2: two twenty two eighty seven. I got Drew, I got Ryan,
Speaker 2: I got Mario. Shannon. Billy's not here. He's abandoned us,
Speaker 2: so we'll get with him. I guess whenever he gets
Speaker 2: back for the pre show. Mario, you're gonna be on
Speaker 2: with me tomorrow on the pre show, right I am.
Speaker 5: I'm excited.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well, we had a lot to talk about,
Speaker 2: especially if they lose tonight.
Speaker 5: I've got a lot of your so so negative.
Speaker 4: Well, right back, it is co Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Welcome back, it is Kentucky Sports Radio eight five nine
Speaker 2: two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Pat tweetered is
Speaker 2: a ticket stub from a Barry Manilo show from October
Speaker 2: twenty first, nineteen eighty going to what that ticket costs?
Speaker 2: Speaking of which another person writes and it says one,
Speaker 2: uh says let's see. Oh yeah, it says, I don't
Speaker 2: go to a concert anymore because it literally cost you
Speaker 2: an arm and a leg. I don't know if it
Speaker 2: literally cost you an arm and a leg, but concert
Speaker 2: ticket prices have just gone like through the roof, Like
Speaker 2: trying to go to a show and you go on
Speaker 2: Ticketmaster and you get to that last page where it
Speaker 2: says put in your credit card information, and the ticket
Speaker 2: that said fifty bucks jumped up to like one hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty, Like, what what is this? But it is
Speaker 2: not cheap, Ryan, I know a lot of us here
Speaker 2: are at the station. You know, it's a good perk
Speaker 2: of working at a radio station. You get free concert tickets.
Speaker 2: But if you've tried to buy a ticket anytime recently,
Speaker 2: you know it is not cheap.
Speaker 6: No, and that's why I would prefer just to have
Speaker 6: somebody else record it and watch it on YouTube.
Speaker 3: Like you said, you want the bootleg versions, put the version.
Speaker 6: Well the we talked about this this week, but the
Speaker 6: prices for like the World Cup, just not just concert,
Speaker 6: any event tickets are just getting ridiculous. That's why it
Speaker 6: was kind of crazy that UK actually lowered their ticket.
Speaker 3: Prices for football this year.
Speaker 6: I was really impressed that they did that when everybody
Speaker 6: else is skyrocketing.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's yeah, it's one thing that you don't
Speaker 2: normally see really anywhere in life. His prices going back down, right,
Speaker 2: you know, if anything, they're going to hike the prices up.
Speaker 2: So I mean they're doing it on beer, food, ticket prices.
Speaker 2: I think we're moving in the right direction. So I
Speaker 2: think that that's just going to add to the excitement.
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about football. I mean, because
Speaker 2: of me, I think we need to put that on
Speaker 2: a shirt, print them up. Will Stein gave us that
Speaker 2: quote from SEC Media Day. Then yesterday we got another
Speaker 2: quote that was I don't have it right here in
Speaker 2: front of me, but basically said I'm a psychotic.
Speaker 4: Member of BBN.
Speaker 2: You know, we talked about Mark Pope and how he
Speaker 2: won the offseason in his first year before the season
Speaker 2: started here at Kentucky, Drew, I feel like will Stein
Speaker 2: is saying all the right things. He's getting the recruits,
Speaker 2: he's doing everything the right way. Before we even played
Speaker 2: the first game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, he has to win on the field,
Speaker 5: but since his first press conference in January, he's just
Speaker 5: been winning left and right. His recruiting class is awesome,
Speaker 5: built for the future. Social media is back. We mentioned
Speaker 5: that a little bit yesterday, how they're doing such a
Speaker 5: good job with that. The old regime went pretty quiet.
Speaker 5: I think most interviews with Mark Stoops he would say,
Speaker 5: I don't want to make a headline. I don't want
Speaker 5: to make a headline. He was saying the bare minimum
Speaker 5: just to kind of get through it. You wouldn't get
Speaker 5: much out of him. Will Stein is a walking headline
Speaker 5: right now and he's loving it.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 5: We'll see in the fall how he year one goes.
Speaker 5: But to this point, I mean he gets an A
Speaker 5: plus on what he's doing in fan engagement, bringing players in,
Speaker 5: bringing excitement to the building. They got a young coaching
Speaker 5: staff that he even set himself. You know, at the
Speaker 5: end of the day, they'll have a beer with you. You know,
Speaker 5: get the work done and go out and Lexton and
Speaker 5: enjoy the town, enjoy the community to a certain extent.
Speaker 5: Nothing too crazy, but they're just a fun group of
Speaker 5: guys that are excited to be in Lexington and coach football.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 2: I think we could all agree that when you take
Speaker 2: over as a coach, you kind of get the first
Speaker 2: year free. You know, you get that honeymoon period. But
Speaker 2: life is all about expectations. So like, what would you
Speaker 2: define as success for the team this year?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 2: Is it a certain amount of wins? Is it how
Speaker 2: close we play teams? If I said to you Ryan,
Speaker 2: and I'm coming to you next, Drew, what is success
Speaker 2: for this season for will Stein in the first year?
Speaker 2: How would you answer that?
Speaker 6: See, that's such a great question because even like we
Speaker 6: talked about a little bit yesterday, they could be much
Speaker 6: better and the record not reflected. But even though they're
Speaker 6: better to be for success to me going into the
Speaker 6: fourth quarter, you know, in it with Alabama and LSU
Speaker 6: and Florida and all these tech at Texas A and
Speaker 6: m be in the game, maybe you got a chance
Speaker 6: to win it. At the end of the game, you know,
Speaker 6: and and even if they'd lose it, I think at
Speaker 6: the end of the year, if I can look back
Speaker 6: and say, we didn't get embarrassed, we didn't get blown out,
Speaker 6: we're competitive in every single game, I would give him
Speaker 6: an A for that honeymoon year because of just how
Speaker 6: tough all the opponents are.
Speaker 4: So you say, just be competitive.
Speaker 2: If we win three games but we're close, that's going
Speaker 2: to be success for you.
Speaker 5: No, I would need more than three.
Speaker 6: Okay, Well, what if the over unders four and a half,
Speaker 6: I mean a half, they can get to five. I
Speaker 6: mean I think that's a that's a success this season.
Speaker 4: Okay, so five wins you're saying this is a success.
Speaker 3: Drew, sounds awful, But well, I.
Speaker 2: Mean no, that's that's you get to set the expectator
Speaker 2: expectations wherever you want.
Speaker 4: So you say five, Uh, what about for you, Drew?
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you're one first time head coach doing a
Speaker 5: rebuild in the SEC. It's hard to put too much
Speaker 5: pressure on actual wins. Like if he goes to a
Speaker 5: bowl game, my goodness, we're going crazy. Six wins as
Speaker 5: I think even went winless in the SEC, that would
Speaker 5: be disappointed. But if you're competitive and if you can
Speaker 5: knock off one of the big dogs, maybe you get Tennessee,
Speaker 5: maybe you get that Alabama game, get a good signature win.
Speaker 5: I think fans will be engaged excited about the future
Speaker 5: because it is a tough turnaround from what they've had recently.
Speaker 5: Brand new faces out there. We've got a few returners,
Speaker 5: but brand new everything. And it's his first time coaching.
Speaker 5: He's handing over play calling duties, everything's new in lection,
Speaker 5: and so he gets a pretty long leash in year one.
Speaker 5: I'd say, like I said, if he goes bowling, that's
Speaker 5: that's nuts. But five wins I'd still be pretty happy with.
Speaker 5: When we had five wins last year and four wins
Speaker 5: the year before with a veteran coach who had this
Speaker 5: thing built true, So it doesn't take a whole lot
Speaker 5: to turn it around. But that schedule is brutal.
Speaker 6: Win an SEC home game, that'd be nice for our
Speaker 6: fan base.
Speaker 5: Yeah, w a long time without those.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know you look at you know, part of
Speaker 2: the Stoops era here. I mean he did things that
Speaker 2: I never thought we would see. The ten win seasons.
Speaker 2: I never really thought I would see that in my lifetime.
Speaker 2: Happened twice, so I mean, I don't it's it's tough
Speaker 2: to put a win total on it, but I think
Speaker 2: if I had to, I'm kind of with you Ryan
Speaker 2: and saying, Okay, if they get the five, but they
Speaker 2: can't get blown out the other games, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. They can't go five and seven and get
Speaker 2: blown out in all all seven losses. As long as
Speaker 2: you can get the five and you're competitive in the
Speaker 2: other ones that you lose, I would say for year
Speaker 2: one that success.
Speaker 5: Let's not forget this is the first year with the
Speaker 5: non sec game schedule. Speven has one more harder Gametop said,
Speaker 5: you only get two of the so called cupcakes then Louisville.
Speaker 5: Then you got a gauntlet in.
Speaker 2: The convent louis Wille. Embarrass you exactly that happened, all right,
Speaker 2: we gotta get to a break eight five, nine, two, eight,
Speaker 2: twenty two, eighty seven. Will take your ask anything phone
Speaker 2: calls coming up next here on KSR, Welcome back. It
Speaker 2: is Kentucky's Sport Radio. Shannon the Dude, Ryan Lemon, Drew
Speaker 2: Franklin here with you, got Rick Ryder in here too
Speaker 2: with us. We're bringing in all the stars fricks over
Speaker 2: there on the ones and twos. Some people riding in
Speaker 2: with the best moments of realizing that they were old.
Speaker 2: When person says they reached down to pick up a
Speaker 2: spoon and throw out their back. Yeah, that's a good
Speaker 2: that'll do it.
Speaker 4: That'll do it.
Speaker 3: That'll do it.
Speaker 2: Another person that rode in and said, when I caught
Speaker 2: myself getting into the routine of going to bed at
Speaker 2: nine o'clock, you know what, I'm with them on that,
Speaker 2: Like if somebody that's got to get up normally at
Speaker 2: five o'clock in the morning. Ryan. I used to laugh
Speaker 2: at my grandparents because every night nine o'clock they'd be like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's time for bed. I'm like nine o'clock. When I
Speaker 2: was younger, I wouldn't even go out to the bars
Speaker 2: until eleven o'clock at night, wouldn't even leave the house,
Speaker 2: and they'd be going to bed at nine o'clock. And
Speaker 2: I'm going, what and now here I am Ryan doing
Speaker 2: the same thing.
Speaker 4: Nine o'clock. I am ready to go to bed.
Speaker 6: The eleven o'clock news was such a big part of
Speaker 6: my life for like twenty years. I can't tell you
Speaker 6: the last time I stayed up to watch the eleven
Speaker 6: o'clock news. I'm in bed.
Speaker 4: Didn't you used to be on the late news though.
Speaker 6: Yes, that's what I'm saying. It was such a big
Speaker 6: part of my life for so long. Now I never
Speaker 6: never mad. I can drive across town, like from my
Speaker 6: house on the west side to Hamburg and the east
Speaker 6: side and get out of my car like, oh my goodness,
Speaker 6: I just ran a marathon. Jeez, it hits you quick,
Speaker 6: it does.
Speaker 2: And and then one more person says that whenever they
Speaker 2: had to start having their hairdress or cover up their grays,
Speaker 2: some some moments that you realized you were the old person.
Speaker 4: All right, we got phone lines full eight, five.
Speaker 2: Nine, eighty seven. Maybe we'll give away the Berry Manilo tickets.
Speaker 2: Just my best moment I was I realized I was old.
Speaker 4: Call that we get today.
Speaker 2: So idea And if you don't want to do it,
Speaker 2: if you don't want the Berry Manilo tickets, you don't
Speaker 2: have to do that. It's ask anything today. So whatever
Speaker 2: you want to talk about, we're here for it. Let's
Speaker 2: go to Matthew first on the phones. What's up, Matthew?
Speaker 3: I yeah, I'm pumped up for you know, UK football, and.
Speaker 2: This is the year to beat Alabama. You know that
Speaker 2: seems to be a popular pick. Nick Rausch was he
Speaker 2: on Fine Bomb the other day saying that, guys, I
Speaker 2: think I saw that somewhere that Ralsh was on Fine Bomb.
Speaker 5: He did. Ralsh is the SEC media day star every year.
Speaker 5: We're just lucky he wasn't wearing a big foam cowboy
Speaker 5: half this time, but he rattled the Fine Bomb phone
Speaker 5: line cages by going on there and predicting a Kentucky
Speaker 5: win over Alabama. I'm sure Fine Bomb will be hearing
Speaker 5: about that one for a few more days.
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks for the call, Matthew. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Ryan. Do you think that Kentucky gets it done? It
Speaker 2: seems to be a popular pick. I don't honestly. Ralsh
Speaker 2: is the first person that I said that I heard
Speaker 2: say that they would beat Alabama this year. I guess
Speaker 2: he bases that off of Alabama recently sort of struggling
Speaker 2: early in the year, that game being the second one
Speaker 2: on the schedule. Are you going to jump in there
Speaker 2: and say that Kentucky beats Alabama with Ralsh?
Speaker 6: I gotta give Drew props. Drew said this in the
Speaker 6: spring when the schedule came out.
Speaker 2: It was Drew first. Okay, Okay, well then I'll give
Speaker 2: the credit to Drew then. So you're all about it
Speaker 2: and you think it's gonna happen. If you were the
Speaker 2: first person to say it, I guess Ralsh jumped on
Speaker 2: your bandwagon.
Speaker 3: Yeah we can share it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a shared belief with the KSR website crew.
Speaker 5: Part of it is, you know, they're not sold on
Speaker 5: Calen to board Alabama. He has big shoes to fill.
Speaker 5: But even though he's been fine, he hadn't been up
Speaker 5: to their standards. They have a new quarterback who will
Speaker 5: be traveling for his first SEC road game against the
Speaker 5: defense that has shown nothing this spring in this summer,
Speaker 5: so it'll be a mystery what even they're going against.
Speaker 5: Hopefully UK is able to hide their cards in Week
Speaker 5: one against Youngstown, and Alabama's taken early season losses since
Speaker 5: Debor has been there, so the opportunity is there for
Speaker 5: Kentucky to pull off the upset in what will be
Speaker 5: a rowdy environment. It's just everything is aligning perfectly. They
Speaker 5: just have to go do it.
Speaker 2: Ryan, can you imagine? I mean, let's just assume we're
Speaker 2: gonna win the first game of the Year Game two
Speaker 2: national television. Will Steine taken on Alabama in the second
Speaker 2: game of his career at Kentucky and beats Kentucky. Can
Speaker 2: you imagine like the atmosphere and the excitement of this
Speaker 2: fan base if that were to happen.
Speaker 6: This state is so overdue to feel good about our
Speaker 6: UK team and to celebrate, especially in football. You know,
Speaker 6: our diehard football fans suffer through those one in ten
Speaker 6: seasons back in the day and two and nine, when
Speaker 6: there was just eleven games, they would go.
Speaker 3: This state would go crazy.
Speaker 6: If they start the season two and oh, which includes
Speaker 6: a home win over Alabama and Willstein's second game.
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, if you could somehow just pull off
Speaker 2: that win, I mean yeah, it matters what happens the
Speaker 2: rest of the season, But you're talking about building up
Speaker 2: some good will and some excitement. You beat Alabama, you've
Speaker 2: definitely got it. You've definitely do it. Absolutely all right,
Speaker 2: let's go to uh, who's next. Let's go to Bob Hey, Bob.
Speaker 7: Yes, TLAs. My question is we all know how tough
Speaker 7: the SAC is on quarterbacks, and we know who are
Speaker 7: expected starter it's going to be, But what do we know?
Speaker 7: I know we got a recruit from Moler, but what
Speaker 7: do we know about the backups? QB two, QB three.
Speaker 7: Thanks for listening or thanks for letting me listen. Man,
Speaker 7: I'll talk to you later.
Speaker 4: I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Drew. I kind of lean on you as our football
Speaker 2: expert here. I mean, both of you guys know more
Speaker 2: about football and the roster than I do. I'll grant
Speaker 2: you that Panatowski is he uh? I mean, is he
Speaker 2: gonna get any playing time at all? Or is he
Speaker 2: just gonna set the bench and be a project long
Speaker 2: term here at Kentucky Or what about the backup situation?
Speaker 5: They have a deep room there. You got a guy
Speaker 5: from Canada. Uh got Brendan Ward who's been on the
Speaker 5: team a little bit. I still think Panaitowski, even though
Speaker 5: he's getting a late start, just joining the team at
Speaker 5: the end of the summer, he'll be here in time
Speaker 5: for training camp, but wasn't there in the spring. I
Speaker 5: still think he's so talented and we'll be competing for
Speaker 5: the keys after Kenny Minshew that he'll be first one
Speaker 5: off the bench if you get to that point. Hopefully
Speaker 5: Minshi stays healthy throughout the season. But who when's the
Speaker 5: last time that's happened where quarterbacks played the whole year.
Speaker 5: So if I were setting the odds right now, I'd
Speaker 5: say Panaitoski, even though he's a true freshman, is ahead
Speaker 5: of the rest of the guys. But they have several
Speaker 5: bodies back there in case someone wants to emerge and
Speaker 5: stand out behind Minschian in fall camp.
Speaker 6: That's the thing, and we've said this before. In the
Speaker 6: SEC your quarterback is going to get hit and more
Speaker 6: than likely he's going to miss some time. So Ponatowski,
Speaker 6: I think, is going to get a chance to get
Speaker 6: on the field a little bit prove what he's capable of.
Speaker 2: I think Ponatowski just sees the riding on the wall
Speaker 2: being drafted by the Cincinnati Reds. Ryan He's like, you
Speaker 2: know what, the Reds are so pitiful. I know they're
Speaker 2: like his home team and everything, but it just goes
Speaker 2: to show you he would rather go to Kentucky make
Speaker 2: some nil money then he would go play for the
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Reds right now.
Speaker 6: Well, and I think he saw what happened to Tyler Bell.
Speaker 6: Tyler Bell was drafted in sixty six, came played one
Speaker 6: year at Kentucky. He was drafted top ten. Ponatowski is
Speaker 6: such a good baseball player. He's p every thinking I
Speaker 6: can improve my eighteenth round status by playing one year
Speaker 6: in the SEC and maybe be a top top, top
Speaker 6: round pick.
Speaker 2: And you know, like the Billy and I talked about
Speaker 2: this on the pre show the day after the draft.
Speaker 2: These guys that go around and play minor league baseball.
Speaker 2: You think they're making good money, but we looked it
Speaker 2: up and the salary of like even a triple A
Speaker 2: baseball player is around fifty thousand dollars if you go
Speaker 2: to a Lobel Bats baseball game. Ryan, sometimes I'll sneak
Speaker 2: into the players parking lot here and whenever I go
Speaker 2: to a game and I'm like, yeah, yeah, I heard them.
Speaker 2: I'm working here. And you could see in the players
Speaker 2: parking lot the guys that have been up to the
Speaker 2: majors and the guys that are just coming up. Based
Speaker 2: on the car like there's a you know, one hundred
Speaker 2: thousand dollars car park wreck right next to a beater,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 4: One that's you know, maybe a couple grand.
Speaker 2: You could definitely tell the guys who have had the
Speaker 2: big contracts and the ones that haven't.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the bonus babies that make the gazillion dollars and
Speaker 6: may get sitting down to CINCINNTI for a rehab assignment.
Speaker 3: It's obvious what they drive.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: For Pototowski though, I think it makes sense. I mean
Speaker 2: obviously long term, well.
Speaker 6: He can make more money in IL money here next year,
Speaker 6: probably can get football in AL money and baseball in
Speaker 6: IL money.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: He'd be better off here just just making the Anile
Speaker 2: money than he would traveling around in a minor league system.
Speaker 2: And long term, he's gonna end up being a baseball player.
Speaker 2: I think he said several times in interviews that's his
Speaker 2: first love. But uh, you know, not a bad gig
Speaker 2: when you can do both. But I think long term,
Speaker 2: would you rather go out there and get beat up
Speaker 2: as a football player, Ryan, or be a pitcher and
Speaker 2: throw every five or six days, you know, throw basically
Speaker 2: once a week. And some of these baseball contracts are
Speaker 2: absurd too. Once you finally get to the majors.
Speaker 6: Well, you know, pitchers are not really athletes. They play
Speaker 6: one every five You got to be an every day player.
Speaker 4: How are you going to say that you.
Speaker 3: Got to be an everyday player. Pitchers, you got sit
Speaker 3: in a bullpen most.
Speaker 2: Of No, no, no, no.
Speaker 5: Don't they travel with their golf clubs.
Speaker 3: They do.
Speaker 6: They play golf on their off day, sit down in
Speaker 6: the bullpen on their non pitching days. Maybe they'll long
Speaker 6: toss and then call it a day.
Speaker 2: Come on, man, Well, I'm gonna tell you when I
Speaker 2: was playing at Bellerman while you guys, you position players
Speaker 2: are up there doing your batting practice, is the pictures
Speaker 2: pictures were running their butts off.
Speaker 3: We were. Scotty wing An was your coach.
Speaker 4: Scotty Wigan.
Speaker 2: He was out there making his new bear Cross talking
Speaker 2: about a drill sergeant of a coach man. But he
Speaker 2: had us whipped into shape. We couldn't beat anybody, but
Speaker 2: we could outrun anybody in the across country.
Speaker 6: Meet Breakoutah, let's get one more before the break.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Brendan. Hey, Brendan, Brendan, can't you hear us?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: No, Brendan Rick, Let's try. Let's go over to Cody. Hey, Cody, Hey,
Speaker 2: are you good? What's up? Cody?
Speaker 7: Hey?
Speaker 8: I've got a question, uh for sins? Chance that any
Speaker 8: of these things happened within the next five years. Okay,
Speaker 8: and I've got four got four things, all right, let's
Speaker 8: go through them. The UK hoops makes the final four.
Speaker 8: That's Kenny Kenny Brooks team makes the final four in
Speaker 8: the next five years.
Speaker 2: You want to see that.
Speaker 4: You want to go one at a time?
Speaker 2: Here, Okay, percentage chance that you said, Kenny Brooks makes
Speaker 2: the final four? Yes, in the next how many years?
Speaker 8: Five?
Speaker 2: Five years? You guys want to jump in there.
Speaker 3: First, I'd say it's gonna do it.
Speaker 6: I would say the percentage is high, like, I'll go
Speaker 6: with like eighty five.
Speaker 2: Eighty five, Wow, Okay, I wasn't gonna go that high, Drew.
Speaker 5: I'm confident eighty five is a little high. I'll say
Speaker 5: seventy Okay, maybe even this upcoming year.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's just so tough to get there.
Speaker 5: And man, he's already been to one at Virginia Tech.
Speaker 5: This is a step up.
Speaker 2: I'll go. I'll go sixty percent chance, all right, what's
Speaker 2: your next one?
Speaker 8: Okay, same thing? Five years. UK flipball beat the top
Speaker 8: five team. UK football beats the top five team.
Speaker 4: Okay, top five pole ranked team.
Speaker 6: All right, twenty it's not a bad guess I was
Speaker 6: thinking twenty five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Drue, uh, you know.
Speaker 5: You'll probably have a couple every year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, depends on how many opportunities you get to.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean top five is pretty high up there.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I could see him getting like a Texas or Georgia
Speaker 5: in the next five years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and get him.
Speaker 5: I mean Texas wasn't top five last year. But I
Speaker 5: mean so how close they played him? Yeah, under stoops
Speaker 5: played Georgia close pretty consistently. Now, if Stein takes that
Speaker 5: next leap like they think you will, I think they
Speaker 5: can knock off the top five team.
Speaker 2: All right, what's your next one?
Speaker 8: U can't basketball makes the Final fours and makes five years.
Speaker 2: See. Now this is an interesting question because it all
Speaker 2: depends on what happens with this season. Like, if things
Speaker 2: go well this season, Mark Pope might be here for
Speaker 2: another five years. If it does, if it goes south
Speaker 2: quick that, I don't know that he's our coach the
Speaker 2: season after this one. So I mean at that point,
Speaker 2: who knows who the coach is. So I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: go to sound really pessimistic saying this. I'm going to
Speaker 2: go ten percent.
Speaker 3: Well that's fair.
Speaker 6: I mean, we've been only three final fours in the
Speaker 6: last what twenty five years?
Speaker 5: Been over a decade that we've been to one.
Speaker 3: So I was going to say, like maybe fifteen percent true.
Speaker 5: I'm joining you, Shannon. Yeah, I wish I were more optimistic,
Speaker 5: but I don't feel great about it in the next
Speaker 5: five since it's been so long. Yeah, the urgency is
Speaker 5: starting to kick in with some success. Even Cala Perry's
Speaker 5: title that they turned into the floor of the locker
Speaker 5: room is starting to get some dust on. It been
Speaker 5: a while on that twenty twelve bend are also, Yeah.
Speaker 2: So where you going? Okay, matching chain, all right, what's
Speaker 2: your last one?
Speaker 8: Last last one? Now? Secure us? Often typle will agree
Speaker 8: to that. The odds Matthew Harper Jillns gets married within
Speaker 8: the next five.
Speaker 2: Years zero, I'm going zero.
Speaker 3: Thanks for the negative zero zero point zero zero in honor.
Speaker 2: Of Matt Jones.
Speaker 4: I appreciate the call, Drew. Any chance Matt gets married.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think he's open to it, but since
Speaker 5: he currently doesn't have a girlfriend, it's hard to predict
Speaker 5: them to happen. If he were, you know, had someone
Speaker 5: he was dating. Seriously, I'd go a little higher. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I don't think it's like impossible, but I don't see
Speaker 5: it as things stand now.
Speaker 2: See, Matt always talks about me being mysterious, but I
Speaker 2: think Matt's mysterious in his personal life too, because I
Speaker 2: don't really know a whole lot about what Matt does
Speaker 2: when he goes home. He always says that about me, Ryan,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Like I know, you guys probably see
Speaker 2: him more because you live in Lexington and that's where
Speaker 2: he's at now all the time.
Speaker 4: But I don't never really hear what Matt does when he's.
Speaker 2: Not on the radio.
Speaker 6: Ryan, Well, he does protect his personal life and we
Speaker 6: all respect that. Sure, sure he'll he'll tell us what
Speaker 6: he wants us to know, and doesn't tell us most
Speaker 6: of the stuff.
Speaker 5: I catch up with him at ten o'clock with everyone else.
Speaker 5: I heard about the Reds games and what's going on
Speaker 5: at the house.
Speaker 2: See that's the thing, Like people think that we do
Speaker 2: all this show prep, but we don't. We don't. I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't ever talk to you guys at all reallyunless
Speaker 2: it's a group text, which I probably won't see until
Speaker 2: eight hours later, because I don't really do group text,
Speaker 2: as we've talked about. But Yeah, we don't talk about
Speaker 2: really anything before the show. We just turn on the
Speaker 2: mics and go. And sometimes that's obvious depending on today,
Speaker 2: but yeah, I'm going. I think we're all going zero
Speaker 2: percent on that. We'll take care.
Speaker 5: And with everything we've all gone through recently, with Ryan
Speaker 5: having his health thing, me having the baby we did,
Speaker 5: we haven't even gotten together outside of work in a
Speaker 5: long time. We do do it, uh, but here recently,
Speaker 5: the days have been few and far between that we've
Speaker 5: even gotten together outside of what people here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all these bachelor parties coming up, and you know what,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be there. I'm gonna be gonna be out,
Speaker 2: So you know what.
Speaker 5: We'll teke notes for you.
Speaker 2: There you go. You guys can you guys can talk
Speaker 2: about me while I'm not there eight five nine twenty
Speaker 2: two eighty seven. We'll take more of your asking anything
Speaker 2: calls coming up next. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back.
Speaker 2: It is Kentucky Sports Radio. You get Shannon, you get
Speaker 2: Ryan Drew here with you. Will take more of your
Speaker 2: phone calls. Eight five nine two eight twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 2: A couple of other people riding in with moments they
Speaker 2: realized they were old. Uh. When I told a college
Speaker 2: student to sign a form, they printed their name because
Speaker 2: they had no idea what cursive is.
Speaker 4: Do they not tesch cursive anymore?
Speaker 3: They don't.
Speaker 6: They went through an arrow where they do not teach cursive.
Speaker 6: So like my boys now try to write their name,
Speaker 6: like on a check or whatever, they they have to
Speaker 6: struggle because they do not teach cursive.
Speaker 2: So I'm confused. So how do they sign their name?
Speaker 2: They just print their name, Like if you have to
Speaker 2: sign a four you know, you don't just scribble something down, you.
Speaker 3: Like print your name, but just connect the letters.
Speaker 5: That's what they do. Underscores the like Drew.
Speaker 2: That was a big thing when we were in school,
Speaker 2: Like everybody had to learn how to do your like
Speaker 2: your lower case cursive and you had to connect the
Speaker 2: letters together, and then after you went through that, you
Speaker 2: had to do your your upper case. I mean I
Speaker 2: could still write every single letter of the alphabet an
Speaker 2: upper and lower case. I had no did you know?
Speaker 2: That was a thing Drew that people. I guess younger
Speaker 2: people don't know how to do cursive.
Speaker 5: I mean I could pass a test if if you
Speaker 5: put a paper front me and said write in cursive,
Speaker 5: but I probably haven't actually done it in twenty something years.
Speaker 5: Even when I write a check, I don't use cursive.
Speaker 5: I write my name, but I've just moved on from it.
Speaker 2: You don't even do like a little like scribble, because
Speaker 2: you know, when I sign my name in cursive, it's
Speaker 2: not like I spelt every single letter of the you know.
Speaker 2: I kind of do an S and an H and
Speaker 2: then like a sort of an A and then a
Speaker 2: little swoop and g it and maybe another G and
Speaker 2: maybe a Y, and you can fill in the rest.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 4: That's kind of the.
Speaker 2: Way I do it.
Speaker 5: My f is even a made up F that they
Speaker 5: didn't teach in cursive, So I guess I can't even
Speaker 5: count my signature. It's kind of my own little thing,
Speaker 5: but I couldn't remember the last time I've actually done it.
Speaker 2: Well, you want to worry about anybody forging your signature,
Speaker 2: then you know somebody else. Yeah, you can come up with.
Speaker 5: It made up letters.
Speaker 2: There you go. H One more person says on here.
Speaker 2: When I started taking pride in my yard being the
Speaker 2: nicest in the neighborhood, we don't worry about Billy doing that.
Speaker 4: We can get billy to mow his own lawn.
Speaker 2: But is that a thing though that it's sort of
Speaker 2: become a thing for me, trying to make the line
Speaker 2: look good when you go out and not only are
Speaker 2: you mowing the lawn, but you're like putting stuff on
Speaker 2: there that killed the dandelions. And you're yes, I think
Speaker 2: we talked about this with you, Drew. You said you
Speaker 2: had something called what was it that stuff you put
Speaker 2: on your well?
Speaker 5: I have Grandpa's weader tool. It's the greatest thing ever.
Speaker 5: Shout out to everyone that went and bought it. I
Speaker 5: get no commission on that, but Grandpa has a great product.
Speaker 5: Can't recommend it enough?
Speaker 2: There you go, But.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I tell you, I try to take good care
Speaker 5: of my yard.
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 5: Lately, the weeds have got a little at controlled. They're
Speaker 5: not like they're not visible, but you know they're if
Speaker 5: you got right up on my yard you could see them.
Speaker 5: So that's frustrating me. It's not perfect, but I try
Speaker 5: to keep up.
Speaker 4: You say your neighbor is mowing part of your property.
Speaker 5: Hey, hey did it again this week?
Speaker 2: Oh so okay, So what's the point to where you go?
Speaker 4: Enough's enough?
Speaker 2: I got to go over here and knock on this
Speaker 2: guy's door and go, look, man, this is my property.
Speaker 2: This is the link that I like my lawn.
Speaker 5: It's coming up. It just mows. It's so tight. I mean,
Speaker 5: it's like putting green and I keep mine tall. Also
Speaker 5: another issue. This isn't a big deal, but it's it's
Speaker 5: driving me crazy. I might have you a knock on
Speaker 5: the or happened again yesterday yesterday was trash day. Instead
Speaker 5: of putting his bins on the sidewalk in front of
Speaker 5: his house, which is about the same link to the
Speaker 5: sidewalk in front of my house, yes, he puts them
Speaker 5: in front of mine. So I have four bins in
Speaker 5: front of my house and there's zero in front of his.
Speaker 5: I have no idea why. Like, they're almost identical curbs,
Speaker 5: nothing blocking either one of them, but he rolls them
Speaker 5: over to my side. Should should I be bothered by that?
Speaker 5: It's just a small annoyance, but I want to be like,
Speaker 5: why aren't they in front of your house?
Speaker 2: I'm kind of with you on that.
Speaker 4: So you don't really know this guy personally.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'll wave, I'm friendly when they're outside. Couldn't
Speaker 5: tell you his name. We've not probably not had more
Speaker 5: than how you're doing conversation.
Speaker 3: They don't. They don't park a car in that spot.
Speaker 5: That you know, it just rolls them over to my side.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: See it's a small thing.
Speaker 5: But every time he does it, I'm like, what are
Speaker 5: you doing?
Speaker 2: I get him. I think you've got a legit argument there.
Speaker 2: I think you got You need to go knock on
Speaker 2: the door. You need to go air out your grievances.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not saying you need to go fight
Speaker 2: the guy or anything.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna find me as an older man. You'll
Speaker 5: get along fine with our waves, but just a couple
Speaker 5: couple of small annoyances.
Speaker 2: All right, we gotta take a break our one in
Speaker 2: the book. So I got a lot more random topics
Speaker 2: and all your calls coming up next eight five to
Speaker 2: nine two eight oho twenty two eighty seven.
