Has anybody tried the new Boneless Chicken from KFC? I had it yesterday and I thought it was pretty good, although I think I like the white meat better. The dark piece was a lot messier to eat which I thought made it harder to eat than a normal chicken leg. But overall, I thought it was really good! I ate the bones! Also, it has been 27 days since Indiana lost in the tournament and we still haven’t heard from The Truth!
Indiana is undefeated in the last 27 days?!?!??!! Make a t-shirt!
you ate the bones of a boneless chicken?
IU is busy working on the design of their back-to-back sweet 16 rings.
@bbncatscratch
Matt, Did you watch Backyard Oil? What are everyones thoughts on this show?
Matt, ask Matt how much he can bench press.
Matt Elam rocks!
If Russ Smith does indeed returneth (scratcheth head), Archie Goodwin shall be happy.
Awesome Video!!!

Haven’t been able to listen since Monday. I got in trouble at work for having my phone and listening with iHeart! I know there are podcasts but it’s not the SAME!
The obvious headline for this story is “Accusations of Attacko Are Whacko.”
Whacko is being FRAMED!!
I love Kentucky. We have great news.
But have you read the story about the one night stand that took place in Boston? For all the awful things that happened there last week, this will bring a moment of laughter. Very funny story.

KSR seems to have a lot of unsolved mysteries. The dude that had a stroke on the air, the guy who was going to ask his girlfriend to marry him, the guy that spoke in a different language and then denied it, etc etc.
Whacko is being harassed by The Man. Time to put the Law Dog hat back on.
Alf is the one terrorizing Waddy.
Can’t wait for the Elam interview. I’m going to try to catch a few JHHS games since the HS is two miles from my house and the Bulldogs beat the shit out of all the area teams. Wish him nothing but the best of luck with recruiting and up-coming season in the fall. And hope he picks the Cayts.
No question that it was Big Foot….
While he is reading this i was looking at the pic of eric bledsoe with his face painted……..
Please play the call from the guy from Waddy on the post game show. One of the best calls ever!!!
These people must be confused, Wacko is a mole.
Sasquatch bout to teach em bout kentucky
sounds like the pope lick tressel goat man has moved east.
FREE Wacko!!!!
Maybe Whacko’s owner turns into a Werewolf. That seems the most logical…
Was Ernie the caller from Waddy? One of the weirdest calls ever on a post game show.
the ricin guy when questioned said, “I don’t even eat rice!”
What is this Coast to Coast AM? I thought I was liatening to KSR?
It was Richie Farmer with a 7 day beard…..
Large black hairy figure terrorizing women. Must be Lexington Steele.
Dam Finding Bigfoot is coming back to KY
I have a gold game at the Shelby Country Club Saturday morning, is it safe?
No bigfoot, Billy Clyde runneth amok in Waddy Peytona.
Obviously, the Foot Stabber has taken his reign of terror to a whole new level.
They are calling it the Waddy Werewolf
Matt’s stalkng the fine folks in Waddi in his sleep with his nose whistle
Remember that caller to the post game show who was speaking “Spanish” from Waddy-Peytona? Maybe he was fending off a Werewolf transformation by speaking a forgotten incantation? Or he was communicating with our new alien overloads to give them the location of livestock in the area. It Could Happen.
So the creature only eats the face and ears?
BREAKING: Stephen King is racing to Waddy as we speak to begin his next novel, Silver Bullet 2
Gotta be a monkey
Marve Albert
If you have ‘The Hub’ channel on your cable or satellite, they show ALF reruns.
Speaking of DVD purchases, I just bought an 80s classic Tuff Turf starring a young James Spader and Robert Downey Junior.
You haven’t lived if you haven’t seen Alf on Blu Ray.
You know, if we listened to te crazy late night show we’d probably know more about this case, or perhaps have greater insight. Also in unrelated news I want the former football cats (cough a certain RB….) that like to show discontent with the fans, if like them to show how much they appreciate the football support now.
Just got an email from Headliners that Ice Cube will perform in Louisville. Naturally, the presale code word is Predator.
Do you think the shelbyville sasquatch could actually be drew franklin on his pony?
Cal must have known about the sequestor. The guy is always two steps ahead of everyone else.
Over under in the number of football commits before Andrew wiggins decides?
Draft Xpress is no Tony Reali on the asphault
What is Elam status with Florida????
A suspect with a hatred of cats????? Rick Pitino = Waddy Warewolf
Does driver Dad live in Waddy? His screaming kids may have finally pushed him over the edge.
I love Wiggins because he wants to be the best. There is an animal in that guy. I absolutely loved that he wants to destroy Jabari Parker. He has that super-aggressive streak that the great ones have.
IF Russ comes back, it is quite possibly the worst business decision ever…. Everyone rips Cal for “manipulating the one-and-done rule”. When is someone going to rip Pitino or Roy Williams for being selfish pricks and convincing these kids to return just for their own sake? How much money has Roy cost McAdoo? Went from a top 5 pick- to a lottery pick – to not even being mentioned in the lottery in 2014….Russ Smith had a chance to go 1st round, a chance….and if he comes back he wont even be mentioned in the same breath of “first round”. I mean come on, at least Cal is HONEST with kids and does what is best for them and their families and isnt selfish. The only guys that honestly do whats best for the kids is Bill Self and Cal.
Sounds like a great setup for the next episode of call of the wildman. Turtleman will get to the bottom of it!!!!
college basketball is going to be LOADED next year
I think in Watership Down the military rabbits would rip the ears of a rabbit that broke the rules. In Waddi we might be seeing evidence of an underground autonomous animal society policing their own?
#14. That’s some funny stuff.
Do your phone lines run through Waddy? If so, I would guess the sasquatch is messing with you.
Jay-Z and Ryan are going to get Nerlens a great car from Motervation Motor Cars
The werewolf is actually a black panther. It escaped from either the circus or the Louisville Zoo. No joke. It caused a 3 car pile up when it ran across the highway this morning
Andrew Harrison was shooting hoops in the gym and not hanging out, nor making friends, when others were vining and shit. lol
Matt, will you actually pray for him?
Where do we go to hear the re-uploaded podcast. Technology Illiterate Listener here.
Waddy solved. It’s Nosferatu, AKA “Corpse Face” Rick Pitino.
Maybe its Chewbacca in Waddy, Han Solo said he could pull the ears off a Gundark.
IMPORTANT – the Lexington Dream Factory wants to reach out to the young man we just talked about on the radio, Noah Layman. Does anyone have contact info that I can pass along? Thanks!
Guys, calm down…. It’s Russ Smith…..Remember Russdiculous?
Matt Elam needs to stay in the home state. At the flagship university. You know, the one that had 50,000 fans at a scrimmage.
Please do the Billy Clyde podcast this summer. The anticipation of the tales to be told is more intriguing than anything since the mystery of “Who Shot JR Ewing.”
I like this kid. Everything is “Yes sir” or “No sir” and he’s pretty level headed.
Love hearing ‘Sir’ and ‘Maam/Miss’ from young kids. That’ll get you far man.
Love the fact the first name Matt Elam said was Drew Barker. Happy thoughts for BBN.
This kid won’t come to UK. Oh, wait. That’s last year’s thinking. We have a shot at him!
What a respectful young man! I don’t know how good of a football player he is, but I like his personality a lot.
Matt was very polite and friendly. Definitely a Ky native and makes me proud he is from Hardin County too. Great interview, Matt!
Matt Elam is very well spoken and a beast on the field. Would be a great get for Stoops Troops
He would be a leader of the D line, BBN wants him
Very impressed with Elam. Not often you hear kids answer with no sir or yes sir. Hope he becomes a Cat!!!
There is no such thing as a female bull elk !
Alright guys, on the elk:
Bull Elk have antlers, they are male, they taste great.
Cow Elk do not have antlers, they are female, they taste great.
So, in conclusion, both taste great, and both need to be killed to keep populations healthy.
I thought female Elk are called Cows???
that caller is not meant for comedy
Male elk are bulls. Female elk are cows. There are no female bull elk. However, there are four different lotteries and two of those are female elk only.
A female elk is called a ‘cow’. You have a better chance at drawing a tag to hunt a cow than you do a bull.
LOL, Evander gets back to siring.
Like Whitetail, Male “Bull”Elk have horns, and females do not. Most hunters hunt for the “trophy” or the largest rack. Im sure they are promoting female elk to help with the population.
The Toomer’s Corner trees are already gone.
Female Bull Elk is a oxymoron!!! A female elk is a cow. Cows are desired because they are not as muscular or go into rut which can taint the meat if not skinned properly.
Shabazz Muhammad’s dad thinks that kid is 12.
Billy Clyde offered Seventh Woods a scholarship when he was 8 years old…true story.
Wacko was profiled by law enforcement.
This pitbull thing is apparently an issue. My band played a benefit in Louisville for pitbull protection and it shocked me how many people came.
The main clientele for pitbulls are super hot chicks and lesbians, going by that benefit.
What has Justin been smokin this morning ?
No way I would refer to what that guy did to the Toomer’s Corner trees as a prank, Matt. More like an act of environmental terrorism. Seriously, this isn’t like painting the UT rock or something – he killed something that took nearly a century to grow. You can repaint a rock or put a sign back up, but you can’t just pluck down a 75-foot oak tree! That guy was a complete ass-wipe and a moron. ‘Bama fans should be ashamed of him.
I like that Justin gave a serious answer in regard to Brutus being able to drive or not.
canine profiling. 99% of pit bulls are good citizens.
Somebody get these guys a tall glass of water. The thirst is real with the Snapchat talk.
I love listening to Kentucky Animal Radio in the morning
Toonces: the cat that could drive a car.
Female bull elk are just a little confused.
Russ Smith couldnt pass on the opportunity to go 2nd Round next year and get beat by the top 10 in the draft at Rupp next year.
Brutus may have been driven by Toonces to Waddi so his alibi isn’t rock solid.
Pit Bulls used to be referred to as “nanny dog”.
If Russ thinks he is going to have a repeat of this year’s storybook season where everything fell into place, he is dreaming.
Toonces is based on a true story
that shooting happened at what used to be University Commons. . . right in front of my apt. that was summer of 1999. it was insane with how many shots were fired.
Want to be #1 in Louisville next book?
Spill all the Billy Clyde beans during sweeps week!!!
Russ should stay as long as possible. He would have to COMPLETELY change his game to make it in the NBA. What pro team wants to turn over the keys to a small volume shooter? Sure, he can play. But JJ Redick or Jamal Crawford are the closest comps, and they are better than he is.
Russ coming back shows the difference between Rick and Cal. Cal has the best interest for kids while Rick only cares about himself. Grade A A$%&ole.
The female bull elk serveth to remind us that faycts art optional on KSR.
#83, as bad as the car/deer collisions have become with the whitetail population explosion, imagine what will happen if the Elk follow the same path!
Cal is making the 40-0 statements because he knows Wiggins will be here.
Hi, Matt- I missed hour 2 yesterday. Did you talk about the changes at KSR? I am excited to learn what you all have in the works. Love the site and radio show.
It wasn’t a panther, it was Billy Clyde in Pumas. Eyewitnesses describe a strong fruity odor.
WLEXTV-18 reported a Black Panther sighting in Lexington back in 2009.

Mickie Demoss has a female Bull Elk tattoo.
This is how I workout http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/webdr06/2013/4/6/9/anigif_enhanced-buzz-32511-1365254388-6.gif
#111 But if he could go this year and get picked first round, doesn’t that gaurantee a 3 year contract? It’ll be impossible for him to get 1st round next year, and I can’t imagine him changing his game like you say in just 1 year. So take the contract now and try to adjust your game over a 3 year period, rather than get taken in 2nd round and cut, and get no money.
I also heard there was a Pegasus sighting in some neighborhoods.
Just learned Turtle Man on his way to Waddy!
I want the guy who called in and said the JUCO player was better than Russ Smith to call back in if Russ stays and we get to hear his opinion now about how great Russ Smith is.
Trent DiGiuro was gunned down on his front porch – July 1994; http://leoweekly.com/news/shot-dark
Was arguing with my girlfriend and i said she did. And without thinking I replied “Kinda didn’t!!!” tring to sound like the girl from the workzone commercial
she said she did something**
Who wouldn’t want to eat a female? I don’t know for a fact, but I imagine that females taste better.
Any news on Trevor lacey to UK….I would take him
I heard one of the coldest things ever this morning. A female gym coach in a Catholic school was let go for being gay. The school did it after an obituary for the teacher’s mother was brought to the school’s attention. Apparently it recognized surviving family members of the woman as the teacher and her life partner. So the woman loses her mother and then her job all thanks to some jerk individual.
I’m starting to get paranoid. Every time I refresh the show thread my comments disappear. Have I been blocked?
first he said “Gay” because he was trying to pronounce the name of the Boston Marathon winner. then he said “f-in s***”
I often cuss during my point of views, that is my point of view.
Go to f*** youself, San Diego!
i lied, not the winner, but trying to pronounce somebodys name and he said “gay f-in s***”
The Boom Goes The Dynamite guy was on Tosh.0, and he never did another sportscast. Forgot what he is doing now.
I kinda knew Ryan would have zero sympathy for this kid who got fired. Lol
Ryan, you are so misinformed it just pisses me off. Learn to read. He didn’t say a slur he was trying to pronounce a name.
I used to think it was funny and just cute, but the idiocy that you display on a daily basis is ridiculous.
Matt: last i heard “boom goes the dynamite” guy was working for the fox affiliate in cincinnati. I think i heard that on tosh.o.
It was a Chimpanzee. They tear your face off when they attack. They can open gates and cages. A witness saw a dark hairy manlike creature. This is a slam dunk.
UK’s chance is 8% to go undefeated
Wow…Ryan…that’s a bit insane.
70%, might by Ryan’s worst comment ever.
40% chance of an undeafted season.
Ryan is a [email protected] idiot..
Seventy percent…and Matt’s head just exploded. 🙂
Math never was Ryan’s strong point.
Matt, he was right on it…if he thinks we have a 99% chance of winning every game.
With AW, I’d say its 45%. Without him, 10%.
I do believe that we will be favored in 100% of the games.
Ryan, care to make a wager with those odds?
Matt, that statistics table posted yesterday was NOT CORRECT lol….
Does anyone have a female bull elk report for I-64?
stop speaking math. i’m not bilingual. understood none of that. not sure you did either.
Don’t they think that it might be smart to send the argumentative barber to Anger Management?
Matt, will you shout out to the Truth to call in? We haven’t heard from him in a while…I miss the guy.
cats – great attempt at trying to be funny and a hard ass. all you did was embarrass yourself once again. you obviously don’t know what you are talking about. you obviously didn’t know the story as you claim. great try. gonna have to try harder.
I don’t think Ryan’s guess is that ridiculous compared to Matt’s guess…Ryan is assuming we’re 99% chance to win any game… Matt’s guess of 10% to 20% means he thinks there’s at 94% to 96% chance to win any game. I don’t think there’s that much difference between 94% and 99%
Cawood didn’t get fired when he cussed (mildly) on the air and Ryan’s expertese in current events is almost matched by his understanding of math and odds.
ULSportsRadio!!!!
I’m sorry shut up about Louisville!!!
shut this u of l fan up.. no one cares
WTF… callers are effing idiots. Put a sock in it Judy.
We need a UL-free show like yesterday was a Wiggins-free show.
btw, was that Judy Jurich that just called into the show?
UL players doing good things in the community?!? We need Jerry Smith back so we can mock him for being tazed. Was he the hair brush story or the drunk and tasered story??
Judy had several things that really upset her. lol
I think Judy misunderstood shaping to a line beard as shaving their beard
I feel ya, Matt. These UofL guys r way too likable. I’m holding out hope that Dieng is the creature in the woods in Waddy
You got a lot of cards fans that wanted to listen to you suffer. That’s why your ratings went up.
That is why I had to retire.
I ask again: when’s the IPO? I want in.
Please get this contract worked out uncle matt… i hope it isn’t like time warner cable and KSTV. Also new website.
In fairness to Ryan’s 70% comment, he thinks the full amount is 360. So 70% out of 360% is actually a pretty good guess.
Smart? What is smarter than a chimpanzee
? Not Ryan.
Pretty sure that there is a person behind the Waddy Animal attacks, anyone got a bead on that little sicko from Fairdale who was killing cats last summer? Perhaps he moved on to larger game and a new location.
Does anyone else think cal looks identical to George Jetson. Put the cartoon pic beside his pic smiling at a press conference.
Waddy werewolf= Waddians find out about bath salts. LOL
Matt–you’ve been called “sir” by 3 different people today, approaching your life time total in a 2 hour segment
Chester’s back.
Congrats on the ratings, Matthew! KSR leverageth the power of BBN in the most ridiculous manner possible. Not surprisingly, Ryan already predicteth a 95% chance you’d be second in the city.
I hate Ohio State but when Hawks son from the tag team Hawk and Animal played linebacker for osu he came dressed up as his wrestling character but sat in the stands. He had the face paint and spiked shoulder pads and all.
Sting in the black outfit, with Black and White facepaint bringing out the UK team in their all black uniforms and the white helmets. The house would come down.
Matt- Here’s an idea for the KSR Store… what about shirts that say BBN in the style of the NWO shirts?
Andrew Wiggins, what side of history do you want to be on next year?!?! NUFF SAID!
The full moon is tomorrow so beware in Waddy. Keep your chickens and female bull elk in the barn.
Andrew surely you know its pronounced Caliperry not pari.
Back to Maker’s for me. Done with Big House. You don’t ditch the dude!
Drew Deener is not entertaining and he never has been.
I also heard your 103.9 is going to be Drew Deener FM soon. That is my point of view.
Shannon – tossin’ all my bourbon. switching to Jack D. It’s their loss. BTW I don’t drink, only purchased because of yoy.
No way — if you are a star basketball player — you don’t want to come to the epicenter of college basketball next season. Kentucky and Louisville will be the talk of college basketball all next season.
Two Words: Town Branch
That ratings number doesn’t even include us iiheart radio listeners!!
sorry, i would not listen to this show if i didn’t care for UK. You guys aren’t THAT entertaining…
#183 Good Call!
Naming your dog Whacko is like naming your kid Jesse James.
Another great 2 hours. Fun & info combined…Still want IPO shares..please.
Wacko could work. Johnny Short named his old dog “Crazy.” RIP Crazy
I saw Keenan Burton at the gym yesterday afternoon! His girlfriend was there (in a thong-style bikini) practicing for the Derby Classic Fitness competition. She is hot as can be and I got to watch her walk around and pose in front of the mirrors.
Nancy Cox sang the national anthem in Rupp while she was “Miss Kentucky”.
What’s the link? Can’t go to twitter on work pc…C’mon Matt!
TAKE PITINOS JERSEY DOWN!!!!!
Podcasts not on I tunes yesterday?? Upgraded iOS on my phone is that why? Just checked yesterday’s still not there?
Why does the show have to end? I wanted to hear Ryan’s insight on the prison system, potential over-crowding, type of convicted criminals who should be incarcerated, etc. 🙂
Same in computer so not my phone?
