2026-06-02 KSR - Hour 2
The second hour of Kentucky Sports Radio (KSR) pivots from the triumphant announcement of Milan Momchilevich's commitment to a surreal, hilarious deep dive into squirrels, parenting fails, and AI-generated beach photos. The episode begins with a flurry of podcast promos—Jonas Brothers, Point Game, Family Secrets—before launching into a celebration of the UK basketball recruit. Host Drew Franklin and co-hosts Billy Rutledge and Shannon the Dude dissect Momchilevich’s elite shooting stats, projecting him to break Jody Meeks’ single-season three-point record and potentially reach 10 threes in a game. But the real show unfolds when Drew recounts a harrowing moment: a squirrel falling 7,500 feet from a tree and landing on its back in front of his baby’s stroller—only to run off unharmed. The conversation spirals into a debate over whether squirrels survive falls due to their low terminal velocity, with Shannon claiming he’s eaten squirrel as a kid. The absurdity peaks when they analyze Mark Pope’s AI-generated beach photo, dissecting fruit, playing cards, and a non-alcoholic drink, ultimately concluding it’s likely fake—until Billy flips and admits he’s now convinced it’s real. The episode closes with a raw, funny confession from Drew about forgetting to put a diaper on his baby, turning a parenting fail into a shared human moment. The entire hour is a chaotic, heartfelt, and unexpectedly profound mix of sports hype, absurdity, and vulnerability.
Milan Momchilevich’s 136 three-pointers last season at Iowa State puts him on pace to break Jody Meeks’ UK single-season record of 117.
Squirrels can survive falls from any height due to their low terminal velocity (20–23 mph) and parachute-like body shape.
Drew Franklin forgot to put a diaper on his baby after changing her, a parenting fail he publicly confessed to during the show.
Mark Pope’s beach photo with fruit and playing cards is likely AI-generated, though the hosts are divided on the authenticity.
Squirrel falls from high trees are survivable due to their lightweight bodies and large surface area to weight ratio.
