Speaker 1: One of the biggest misconceptions about buying a home right now is that you have to wait for the perfect moment, perfect rates, perfect timing, perfect market. The truth is that moment doesn't really exist. A lot of buyers pause because of headlines or assumptions, but every situation is different. Race change, market shift, and personal goals matter just as much as what's happening nationally. That's why talking to a local lender can be so valuable. When you contacts doctor Mortgage, you get paired up with a local lender. That lender will give you your options. That lender will explain the situation. You can ask your own questions. That's what it's all about, getting to the closing table as simple and as easy as possible. Our friends at stock to Mortgage focus on helping people understand their options. Whether you're ready to buy now later or just starting to ask questions. There's no pressure to make a decision, just a chance to get real information and a clear picture of what's possible.

Speaker 2: Welcome to Hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio, present it by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Joes Quarterback.

00:01:09
Speaker 3: Hour number two Kentucky Sports Radio. If I'm nine two eight twenty eighty seven, Mario was live on Instagram and he caught me. I almost missed the start of this segment, so I said a cuss word, which I don't do a lot.

00:01:21
Speaker 1: You're giving your lowdown of your shoes and you're fit for the truth.

00:01:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I got new new UH sneakers I was gonna talk about all right, text, It's Ask Anything UH Tuesday. One person writes Matt for the average listener, who would you say that the average listener knows the most about in real life on the show, and who knows the least? Aka, I think Shannon's the most mysterious person on the show. Is that correct or not? So that's a good question. So like everybody, if you listen to show regularly, there's six of us that are some part of it. I would say the person that the average listener knows the most about if they listen to the show is actually when you agree, No.

00:02:02
Speaker 4: Not at all, it'd be you.

00:02:05
Speaker 3: No, I think it's Ryan, because there are parts of me that people don't know. Everything about Ryan is known, like like there's no like.

00:02:13
Speaker 4: I could I don't know if you boy could tell a million McDonald's stories from you.

00:02:17
Speaker 3: And no. But what I'm saying is you there's a part of my personality that you have to know me pretty well to see Mario shaking his head. You know it because you know me well. But the average person sees like this exaggerated version of me that's on the air. But like, I'm much quieter in person and by myself, et cetera. Ryan is Ryan, Like there's like, I don't think there's any mystery to Ryan. Do you agree? Disagree? I think there's a lot of mystery to Ryan. I don't know. No, But he's just He's this, He's just this sitting in the dark waiting for someone to talk to. I mean, you spent vacations with Ryan. He any different than he is on the air.

00:03:01
Speaker 4: No, Ryan is Ryan the most I have a good idea of what you would be.

00:03:07
Speaker 3: I have no idea what Ryan's off doing. Yeah I do. He's just Ryan. He's just walking around living in this body and hands.

00:03:17
Speaker 1: Beopping through life, be bopping, fighting off the ladies.

00:03:21
Speaker 3: Do you do you agree or not?

00:03:23
Speaker 1: I think we're all pretty open, to be honest. I think it's one thing that makes us attractive on this radio show is that we're kind of open with our lives, all of us.

00:03:31
Speaker 3: I think everybody's oping. I think Shannon is the most closed, so he is the least I think. No, I mean I don't know a lot about like like when like when Shannon leaves here, Drew, we none of us really know what he Oh, he's he's runaway winner of the Mysterious Award. Yeah, I mean that's good.

00:03:52
Speaker 2: No, I mean I think it's funny over exposures worse.

00:03:56
Speaker 3: I mean, people don't hate you as much, even though I think objectively you have the qualities that would make people the maddest in life. Like what, well, you dislike people more than anyone?

00:04:07
Speaker 2: That is not true. That again shows that you don't even know me. You've been you've been doing this show with me for fifteen years and you don't know me.

00:04:13
Speaker 3: You you you think you like the most people.

00:04:18
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm the first person. They're the last one to leave them.

00:04:21
Speaker 3: That's true. You know that's truelle, Like you don't have to like Ryan and Drew and I have to and Mario. We see people at the bar all the time. You don't get all that because.

00:04:30
Speaker 2: That is true. That is true with me being here and you guys being in Lexington, So there's there's a lot of truth to that. We don't see each other as much.

00:04:36
Speaker 1: I think that's why when people meet us they feel like they know us, because we are so open with our personal lives on this on this show.

00:04:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, but I would say in general, if you listen, you do know no one's a different person.

00:04:47
Speaker 1: No off the air, Yeah, I do say you're a little bit different when you take your Matt Jones hat off and are just Matt with us, you know, chilling out having a McDonald's burger.

00:05:00
Speaker 3: But do we have a McDonald's burger. I'm not eating a McDonald's burger and I probably have not had a burger from McDonald's in twenty years.

00:05:09
Speaker 1: Egg white delight.

00:05:10
Speaker 3: Okay, they don't make that anymore. I do. I drink diet.

00:05:13
Speaker 1: Coke, yes, But I think when you take your Matt Jones hat off and are just Matt, it's a I think it's a different guy.

00:05:20
Speaker 3: I think you all are all essentially completely yourself. Yeah, I'm myself, but I have to amp it up like twenty percent to be on the air. Yeah, but you guys.

00:05:33
Speaker 1: That makes the show work. That's why it works.

00:05:35
Speaker 3: So I think people are surprised, like when they come up to me that, like, I don't have a lot to say. I tend to be quiet when I meet.

00:05:42
Speaker 1: People and very gracious.

00:05:44
Speaker 3: I try. I'm not always sometimes, like you can't sometimes you're in a bad I hate when sometimes you're in a bad mood and then you talk to somebody and I feel bad. Afterwards. I'm like, well, I didn't mean.

00:05:54
Speaker 1: Don't you wish you could reach back out to him? Said, man, I'm sorry I didn't handle that well.

00:05:58
Speaker 5: I was.

00:05:58
Speaker 3: I was on a flight a few weeks ago and I got very fra like I don't know, and so during the course of the flight I felt bad, and on the way out, I was like, hey, man, my bad.

00:06:08
Speaker 1: Good.

00:06:09
Speaker 3: I'm glad you said that. I listened to you every day. I didn't want to be. But you have to remember that, right, right, you know.

00:06:16
Speaker 4: Sometimes I forget how open we are, Like say I have a random you know, a service at my house or a restaurant. Someone says something very specific, like, oh, you wore your house shoes to the show last week. I'm like you, oh yeah, we just say everything on the air and forget that. We're just open books here every morning.

00:06:32
Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, since we mentioned McDonald's, McDonald's is doing a promotion. I wanted to see if you would want this. McDonald's is at stores in New York, LA, Dallas, and Chicago having a special this week where they are going to have McDonald's caviar based on a trend on TikTok. They are going to put caviar on their chicken McNuggets and if you go to McDonald's, they'll give you the ca av They're having a whole caviar set and twenty five McNuggets. It's like you get twenty five McNuggets and caviar for like thirty dollars or something, and it's there. They're specialists to try to encourage people to use caviar with their chicken McNuggets. Would you like? I think you like cavy love cash. I mean I don't get to eat it often because it's would you would you like caviar with chicken McNuggets? Uh?

00:07:28
Speaker 4: The weird part for me is the chicken nuggets here. I try not to eat those. I mean I might do it to say I did it. I don't think they go together. Caviar does not deserved to be anywhere near McDonald's, Shannon.

00:07:41
Speaker 2: No, not for McDonald's. If I gonna eat caviar, it's not gonna be at McDonald's.

00:07:45
Speaker 3: I don't understand the appeal of cavo. I don't think it tastes good.

00:07:48
Speaker 2: It's delicious.

00:07:49
Speaker 3: We ate five pounds of it on that road trip in Canada. Man.

00:07:53
Speaker 2: We once that caviar. Cavar Company sponsored the pre show for like a year of the first year, I remember.

00:07:58
Speaker 3: That caviar is best cat because that's made.

00:08:03
Speaker 2: If you want to come back America's best caviar, I'll eat a caviar.

00:08:06
Speaker 3: Have you do you do you?

00:08:07
Speaker 1: I've had it one time, and when we were at Kelly Kraft at the Canadian Embassy, it's one I've ever had it.

00:08:12
Speaker 3: She had like they had the Canadian Embassy. The American Embassy in Canada had caviar out the wazoo. Yes, And it was really strange to be sitting there with you all eating cave. American embassy in Canada.

00:08:26
Speaker 4: I remember taking a little sample and Tomlin and I are like how much of this can we eat? And She's like, go crazy and we emptied the fridge. They Canada ran out of caviar because ate all the caviar.

00:08:34
Speaker 3: And then that American tax dollars going into your and Tomlin's belly, ate.

00:08:39
Speaker 1: All our caviar. On the next morning, Daniel ate all their syrup you did, that's her caviar.

00:08:44
Speaker 3: So back to the McDonald's part of.

00:08:46
Speaker 1: This, I would try it. I would definitely try it.

00:08:49
Speaker 3: Are they providing the caviar? I guess apparently there's a TikTok trend where people are like putting caviar with things you wouldn't think caviar has McDonald's trying to get in on it, and so they've gotten some caviar company and they've agreed for thirty bucks, Like normally it'd be like one hundred and fifty bucks. You get twenty five McNuggets and caviar. As long as you try it and then make your videos of you eating.

00:09:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would try it. I would definitely try it.

00:09:16
Speaker 3: Maybe there's a McDonald's, maybe one that you.

00:09:20
Speaker 1: Know Waddie Potonia. Maybe they'll have it.

00:09:22
Speaker 3: Maybe one that we've had some conversations, you know, maybe that's just a way to we'll try it if they get it in next time we're in there eating burgers with you like we do, to bring it up or some McDonald's. Joe, go ahead, Joe.

00:09:36
Speaker 6: Yes, matt On Mark Pulse. Recruiting and all that. I was looking at the roster n of these players to come back.

00:09:46
Speaker 3: I mean, yes, I no point, but I think that here's the thing, Joe. I think they thought that they were going to bring a lot of this team back. Now, maybe if they finished the season strong, they will. I think that I would be surprised to see some of these guys back. But I think part of the way reason they recruited who they did last year was to bring a lot of these guys back. Because you're right there are you said ten? I thought it was nine, but it might be ten. But there are a lot of guys who can come back.

00:10:17
Speaker 6: Yeah it's ten town, but Quintin's ain't coming back here, right. The only seniors you got is the whole way in Aberdeen.

00:10:27
Speaker 3: Correct. Yeah, So I appreciate the call. I mean, there are a lot of people who could come back. I think a lot of it's gona depend how the season ends. You know, they're gonna have to go get here's what they have to do. They're gonna have to go get at least three guys out in the portal who.

00:10:44
Speaker 1: Can shoot, no doubt.

00:10:47
Speaker 3: Because they're gonna lose Aberdeen in O way and they might lose Low too, but they're definitely gonna lose Aberdeen no way. So you gotta go get some guards. We don't have enough guards as it is.

00:10:57
Speaker 1: Two of the guys you think most likely to come back, though, are champ are In, Cam Williams, two.

00:11:01
Speaker 3: Shooters, Moreno, Chandler, Williams to me are the three most likely guys to come back. I'm not saying other people won't. And then Hawthorne, but I don't count him because he hasn't played. I would assume he's got didn't He didn't come here to red shirt and not play next year, so I would assume that. That's if you were saying, Okay, who's on the team next year, I would start with Moreno, Chandler and Williams, throwing Hawthorne. I think that's a good bed as the four. Then Jayalen Lowe. It's just a yes or no decision. I'm gonna clean that it'll be a yes, and then everybody else I'm kind of not thinking's gonna be here wild Card, Trent Noah, because I don't know what's in his mind. Yeah, I'm gonna kind of assume Diabate's not here yet next year. I'm gonna kind of assume Garrison's not here next year. I don't know about yellowch I really don't. I have no I have no idea. I don't know if he's enjoying it. Yeah, I really have no idea. I don't you know, I don't have any connections as so I have no idea about him.

00:12:01
Speaker 1: Do you like him in the starting lineup where they got up to the good started geits Arkansas with him out there, and he had like what seven points or any thinking the game?

00:12:07
Speaker 3: I think it's gone pretty well, right.

00:12:09
Speaker 4: He doesn't take many, but his three point shooting percentage, especially in the SEC, has been really good. It's close to fifty percent. He's just not shooting many.

00:12:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't but they gotta go. They're gonna, I mean, you're gonna lose alway in Aberdeen your two primary scores. So you're gonna have to go get some good dudes, and especially if you're not gonna have any recruits. Let's go to Adam. Go ahead, Adam, what's up? What's up?

00:12:35
Speaker 6: Sense of ask anything? Right?

00:12:37
Speaker 3: Well? Yes, doesn't mean why I answer it? But yes?

00:12:41
Speaker 5: So what what happened in the pool?

00:12:44
Speaker 7: Was Willie Kaliston and Bahamas twenty fifteen.

00:12:49
Speaker 3: In the pool?

00:12:49
Speaker 4: Well, I can tell that one. That one's easy. He bet some people maybe cash was involved, Maybe it wasn't. I don't know the statue. I think now you can say cash. He bet he could swim the length of a very long pool and back without coming up from here.

00:13:03
Speaker 3: There was a lot of money on the line.

00:13:05
Speaker 4: A lot of money, and he did it in the end, but he went so slow it was like it built suspense.

00:13:10
Speaker 3: We're like, there's no way he can keep holding it. He swum from one end of this pool to the other underwater. How long do you think he was underwater? It felt like forever.

00:13:19
Speaker 4: The moment he started, like, there's no chance at the pace he's going that he will even get to one end and back end.

00:13:25
Speaker 3: For so long it was shocking, and he because he's so tall. He looked like this massive fish underwater. And I would say forty five seconds to a minute. It was a long time. It was. It was that was one of the more amazing physical sights I've ever seen.

00:13:44
Speaker 4: Whatever pace you think he was on, it was slower. We had no faith in him, and as I said, there was a little bit of gambling going on. So when he popped up the people that had bet on him, it was it was a big scene around the pool.

00:13:53
Speaker 3: The twenty fifteen team trip to the Bahamas is probably the closest Drew and I've ever been with a group of players at a team. I mean, essentially the fans were all in one part of the hotel, and then this other part was just the players, really big donors, and then like me, Drew the turkey hunter, and and so what was happening is that, like you were getting to know the players and they were having fun. The coaches were leaving them alone, and pretty much everyone except Carl was like doing their thing and like doing their thing. Carl would come in and out. Carl, remember my airshots with Carl. Carl would find and they would party. Carl didn't party, but then he would come and take shots of air so that he can be part of the team. Shit, he'd find me ready for another airshot. I just had one. I'll try to do a second one. But you got to know him, and Willie was the leader of the whole, I mean Willie. Will Willie was wild that entire week. I think he would acknowledge.

00:15:05
Speaker 1: That, and those guys that talked about that made him closer, That made him better as a unit.

00:15:09
Speaker 3: I think that was huge for that group because you had all these young guys and then all these old guys, and I think that trip brought them all together.

00:15:17
Speaker 1: Yeah. I heard many guys talk about that would.

00:15:20
Speaker 3: Ran fifteen team in wildness Willie. That one was I was gonna start at bottom. The Harrisons were the most business like on that one. I had business.

00:15:29
Speaker 4: About every player. They they were pretty locked in. Ulis and Booker enjoyed their first intro to Big Blue Nation.

00:15:35
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go anything Willie one, Todd Lantern two, Derek Willis, Derek Willis three. I'm making Derek Willis talk about one. That was my story. Derek Willis was the hello, and then probably Ulis Booker. That would have been your starting five of Partying and Derek playwell too. I have to add that I think Balance learned what we learned, what works for him. Cornbread HEMP that worked for me on the trip, helped me sleep. Cornbreadhimp dot com promo code don't quit. Actually that chromo co's over. KSR. Okay, you go to ks us KSR get thirty percent off. You got gummies. I got packed them for the trip trip and I just lost my headset. You also have topical oils and more. That way you can rest and relax. It's at CORNBREADTHEMP, cornbreadthimp dot com, Live the good Life. We'll take a break, Bret backs KSR. Somebody just wrote me and said they have a video of Willie's swimming. It probably exists. I'd like to see that. I think the caller was talking about the other story. It's just hard for me to talk about the other story because like these people are still around. Yeah, you know, but the other story is the best UK story. I will tell it one day. I think we've said it on like a late night something once. I think so, but never on this show. No, probably won't. I'll do it on one that's not on podcasts eight nine twenty two eighty seven. Text machine is seven seven two four five two five four. One person writes, Matt, what do you think about the story about Savannah Guthrie's mom in Arizona? Shannon? That one's awful, right, Yeah? I mean eighty four year old woman kidnapped outside or in her home.

00:17:20
Speaker 2: Ye, treating the house now as a crime scene. There was signs of forest entry, and there's blood that they found. They don't know whose blood it is. Probably that's all moms.

00:17:27
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's awful. I pray for the best result in that. That's probably terrifies older people across the across the country.

00:17:36
Speaker 1: They're scared to begin with. Then you hear that an eighty four year old woman was yanked out of her home, that's just going to magnify it scared.

00:17:42
Speaker 3: They said anything about why that seems like such a random thing to happen.

00:17:47
Speaker 1: I didn't. The only thing I heard this morning that they're definitely treating it, treating it as a kidnapping.

00:17:52
Speaker 2: I mean you could guess why, with her being a celebrity. I mean there's probably something that she said, and probably some crazy person that knows where her mom lives.

00:18:01
Speaker 3: And oh, you think it's because of something, Savannah Guthrie said, Yeah, but she's not like an outspo I don't even know what does she even believe or like, I don't know. So you think it was something to do with her.

00:18:15
Speaker 2: Daughter, I think there's a very good chance.

00:18:17
Speaker 3: Well that would be that would be awful for the daughter to think like something they did. Yeah.

00:18:23
Speaker 2: Otherwise it's just completely random, I know.

00:18:25
Speaker 3: But that's in some way scarier. Yeah, like if it was completely random. See, that's one of the things I think about when when you have crimes, like crimes where somebody does something for a reason are awful, but when it's random, I think it's even scary, very scary, because then it's like, well, that could happen to anyone, you know what I mean.

00:18:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean other ones are awful, but the motive, whether right or wrong, someone has a scenario in their head with.

00:18:54
Speaker 3: That part that wouldn't be me. Yeah, you know what I mean.

00:18:57
Speaker 4: But I mean, you know, when it's just completely random, it can be anyone on the street, regardless of who they are, what they've done, any relationship at all.

00:19:04
Speaker 3: The denim uniforms are getting broken out Saturday, yep, Saturday, we saw the initial release of of the like you know at tire that you could buy the sweatshirts and the shit. I have to tell you, it didn't look denim to me. It looked just white, didn't it. Yeah?

00:19:23
Speaker 4: I hate I mean it has the little it has the old logo that used with the denim. But I hate that they at least what we've seen so far, it's not white.

00:19:29
Speaker 7: Now.

00:19:30
Speaker 4: I mean they have like that color as the font, but it's not leaning into it enough.

00:19:34
Speaker 3: Yeah. So what do we think it's gonna look like? So this is Saturday. You think it's gonna be cool? Uh? Yeah, I think they'll The shoes are cool. Have you seen the shoes the converse? Well, those are just the old shoes. That thing that went viral. That's just a picture of the old shoes. But I the sneaker News website, I have no that was just the old one. So this isn't they're not re releasing them. There are shoes, Yeah, they're really the old shoes, not those. So what are they re releasing some new shoes? So you know, the new shoes perhaps? Oh okay, so tell me about it. I can't They don't look like the old on Why can't you tell me?

00:20:15
Speaker 4: I've heard whispers of some new shoes, think more NBA in All Star.

00:20:20
Speaker 3: Week coming up. So, but are the Kentucky team players gonna wear? The thing that went viral was just the old shoe. I said that when it came out. I was like, these aren't even new shoes. These are the exact same converses. I think that's sold. So they're not re releasing the old ones. They could surprise us, but there will be other shoes. Okay, look at true knowing there all right, Well to the original point, I did not love the hoodie that came that. They've already leaked Mark to suggest he was gonna wear something different for the game. Somebody called him on the show last night and as if he was gonna wear something denim, and he said, I got something ready.

00:20:51
Speaker 2: He should wear jeans like a jean jacket.

00:20:54
Speaker 3: I can't imagine what does like a denim suit look like.

00:20:58
Speaker 1: We know, so for the home uniform, worms and white, they'll have just a splash of denim. I want to see the road. I want to see a road denim. That's where we got to see the full denim effect. I want them to wear the dinner.

00:21:08
Speaker 3: There's going to be the white home ones. Those were not that cool. I agree, I want to blue denim was the cool.

00:21:14
Speaker 1: That was the cool one.

00:21:14
Speaker 3: I want to wearing that. I wish they would, unlikely because that'd be the away uniform.

00:21:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, but that's.

00:21:20
Speaker 3: What everybody thinks about.

00:21:22
Speaker 4: But when they originally wore the whites in the anniversary, they had like five straight home games of the whites. They didn't break out the blue denim for a little later. I would love for them to do the blue denim. But being a home game, I'm expecting white.

00:21:34
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, now I'm not as excited about it because I thought I thought it was the going to be very denimy.

00:21:41
Speaker 4: Maybe they will still wear those in an upcoming road game or break them out later. Yeah maybe, but in the home game, probably white, but maybe it won't be surprised.

00:21:49
Speaker 3: Mark, go ahead, Mark.

00:21:52
Speaker 7: Hi, I got a question for Drew and then one for you.

00:21:54
Speaker 1: Go for it, Drew.

00:21:55
Speaker 7: I've been trying to think, trying to think of the name for this team, and it has to be related to Forrest Gump in his box of chocolate. Because you never know what you're gonna get the gumps, I know, the chocolate cast.

00:22:14
Speaker 3: I don't know.

00:22:15
Speaker 7: I can't come up with anything.

00:22:16
Speaker 3: But we can't tell them that. Yeah, we can't call them there.

00:22:20
Speaker 7: Okay, we'll talk about it. This is this is brainstorming. There's no bad idea that I figured.

00:22:31
Speaker 3: You know, it's not that there are bad ideas. What's your second one?

00:22:35
Speaker 8: Okay?

00:22:35
Speaker 7: Second one is regarding the uniform change. Our guys are going to go up and down the court looking like a super Mario Brothers. You played the game before, right, Not?

00:22:47
Speaker 3: Well, but are you talking about in the denims?

00:22:52
Speaker 7: Yeah?

00:22:54
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:22:54
Speaker 7: What what kind of pants? What kind of pants do they wear?

00:22:57
Speaker 3: I appreciate the call. I assume they're just gonna wear what they were ninety I mean, I would think that's what they're doing, right, it's the thirty year anniversary. I assume that's what they're doing.

00:23:04
Speaker 4: I'd be very disappointed if they did some kind of twist.

00:23:07
Speaker 3: I mean, so just work at the time, the white ones that they used to wear in ninety six. I assume that's what they're gonna wear. I mean, people were not excited about this, but now that we've beaten Arkansas, now Oklahoma's lost eight straight games, so we cannot lose to it.

00:23:21
Speaker 1: We cannot lose to Oklahoma.

00:23:23
Speaker 3: But assuming we win that game, I think people will be excited for this for Tennessee.

00:23:27
Speaker 1: Because it's Tennessee and it's at home. We'll go Earn Denham.

00:23:29
Speaker 3: Yes, all right, Conway take us out. We'll be right back. TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay.

00:23:37
Speaker 7: Now.

00:23:37
Speaker 2: More of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:42
Speaker 3: All right, one person rides Matt. I know Mark Pope's Taylor. He is having a custom denim suit made. Oh can you imagine what that would look like?

00:23:53
Speaker 1: Six foot eleven Mark Pope walk out in a denim suit.

00:23:57
Speaker 3: Well, that'll get attention. You got, by the way, if you come out in a custom denim suit, shin and you gotta win exactly.

00:24:04
Speaker 2: And then what if he sweats so heavy?

00:24:10
Speaker 3: Well maybe be awesome though, well let's hope. So I think it'll be awesome. I think if you're gonna go, go, get go, do it.

00:24:17
Speaker 4: I agree, but there's pressure on the game. Helps that they got the one in Knoxville out of the way. But I mean all the stuff they're doing, and someone during the break told me not to give up on the maybe two pairs of shoes.

00:24:30
Speaker 3: Well maybe the converses will exist. Okay, good I thought, because that was a really by the way people write and going, oh, you're an old man falling for Facebook. That was sneaker news. That was like the big sneaker site that had it. So that's not like some random the.

00:24:42
Speaker 4: Photo they showed it was definitely an old photo. Okay, but I mean they could still be in the works, okay, because I'd love to get those. Okay, gotcha, all right, so Drew just show me.

00:24:51
Speaker 3: There we go, right though, they gotta win that game.

00:24:54
Speaker 2: You look like a clown if you stand there after getting.

00:24:57

Speaker 1: You're nervous about the corners, multiple quarter zips. I just want him to match the NFL hat like I just.

00:26:06
Speaker 3: Some people don't know Shandon. He has a hat that just has the NFL logo AC problem, Like, it's just the NFL logo, no team, it's just the logo.

00:26:16
Speaker 9: I'm a company man.

00:26:20
Speaker 9: Now I have a third stranger things NFL had that strang.

00:26:25
Speaker 3: Yes, So you're you're wearing the quarter zips. You've fourned quarter zips before. Why would that make you nervous? I don't know, you're shaking. I told you on the pre show. I could feel it through the radio. I don't know, I don't know what happened is remember there was a show Ryan forgot the equipment. Yeah, and that was a big That was the Tornado relief show. They had an audience at a school. We just didn't show up. They had a huge audience, showed up and Ryan just forgot the equipment. You have the equipment. Yes, presumably it'll work.

00:26:57
Speaker 9: Yeah, if we can get it through security with them.

00:27:00
Speaker 3: That's all right. You just tell them to tell them and then you'll be okay.

00:27:05
Speaker 9: Yeah, But like you know, I don't know, like Christian McCaffrey, what am I going to say to Christian McCaffery.

00:27:09
Speaker 3: And you're an it's Drew and I host the show. You're the producer. Oh yeah, you say something. But if you don't say anything, it's okay. Tell him about your quarter collection. I want you to admit what you're really nervous about, what you want to impress these media members. You you see this as the Billy super Bowl networking show. This is this is where he's trying to leave. We're taking you to your exit. Yeah. Now he's trying to find another job. I think that's what's happening.

00:27:40
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, if they have a job open, like so you'd move.

00:27:44
Speaker 3: I'm like if somebody said, Billy, we want you in Chicago at you know, Chicago ESPN Radio, Yeah, are you gone?

00:27:54
Speaker 9: I mean it depends on several factors, like like what throw anything off the table.

00:28:01
Speaker 3: To put out the door?

00:28:03
Speaker 8: None?

00:28:03
Speaker 9: But I have a business card, a digital business card.

00:29:36

00:31:19
Speaker 2: No, okay, all right, Dick Van Dyke shoots shoes.

00:31:24
Speaker 3: I get out of here. I'll get you out. Let's go to Seth. Go ahead, Seth.

00:31:30
Speaker 2: You're gonna skip over. Do you not see who's on number ten right there?

00:31:33
Speaker 10: Oh?

00:31:34
Speaker 3: No, it's it's made up? Who is it? Oh?

00:31:36
Speaker 2: It says Chester?

00:31:37
Speaker 10: Oh?

00:31:37
Speaker 3: Chester?

00:31:37
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Chest, He's up next.

00:31:40
Speaker 8: Hey, Matt, listen. I just want to say first of all, that i'm I'm I hope that we can stick with Pope and cut out the nonsense about trying to get rid of him. No matter what happens the rest of this season, I feel like he deserves at least a good three years before we make any sort of comments about that. Second thing is I don't know if y'all talk about it, but what I loved about that game against Arkansas, was Tyler Uless over there wearing that blue suit. I don't know if y'all talked about it, but he had on a blue suit. And you can't tell me that was an accident. You cannot tell you that was a message. That was a message to the big Blue Nation. And I hope to someday see him back over on our sideline. Last thing and I'll get off here. You all were talking about the ankles. I do not understand this. For the life of me. When I grew up, I had weak ankles. I would always be sprame ankles. And then basketball tennis shoes started to change. And I believe it was an eight eight or maybe an eight eighty or something that a Villa made, and I got me a pair of them. And you cannot sprain your ankle in a shoe like that.

00:32:51
Speaker 10: Now.

00:32:51
Speaker 8: I'm not saying they got to get back to the old eight eighties or anything, but when you look at these shoes these players are wearing, they don't they don't make it.

00:33:00
Speaker 10: High top.

00:33:00
Speaker 8: I sold the other day at this youth league some kid, I said, looking at that kid was wearing a pair of skateboard shoes out there, And my buddy said, those were the new Devin Booker shoes.

00:33:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, these shoes are very rarely hot tops. Yeah. Lebron's like the only one that still wears hot tops.

00:33:16
Speaker 8: And the players are way more powerful and more strong and cutting on them. I don't understand it. Why don't they Why don't they wear a hot top? I mean, we used to wear a high tops to prevent the ankle spray, and you wouldn't get an ankle sprain in a lot of them shoes because they were they were they were throwing.

00:33:32
Speaker 3: You know, you're not the only person that said that. Chester. Good to hear from you, by the way, Uh, don't be a stranger.

00:33:38
Speaker 8: Okay, Well, I appreciate it. It's the show's popular.

00:33:42
Speaker 3: I've been on here.

00:33:43
Speaker 8: Waiting for an hour. It's it's a.

00:33:44
Speaker 3: Lot of shit, a lot of work. I appreciate the call. What do you think you agree with about the high tops?

00:33:53
Speaker 1: That thought crossed my mind last night. I was watching the Pacers Rockets game and they every one of those guys are wearing low top shoes. I just do to that game we went to watch read Shepherd in the Rocket Me and yoga girl. I gave her that for her balance. I gave her that as a Valentine's present. Nothing says romance like Read Shepherd.

00:34:11
Speaker 3: You gave her an NBA game for her Valentine's Day presence, and she an NBA fan.

00:34:17
Speaker 1: She loves Read Shepherd. She would leave me for Red Shepherd in a second.

00:34:22
Speaker 3: That's a big age gap.

00:34:24
Speaker 1: She if Reed Shepherd's on TV. She's watching it and she's never been to an NBA game.

00:34:28
Speaker 3: Did she want that?

00:34:29
Speaker 1: She loved it?

00:34:31
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, did Read play well?

00:34:33
Speaker 1: I started? No, Kevin Durant or Reid started, but he didn't have his best game. But there were Kentucky people everywhere. We got out of our car and thirty seconds later we were in like seven dudes from Manchester. They were Kentucky people all over the place. And when he got announced in the starting lineup, he got the biggest applause of anybody.

00:34:48
Speaker 3: Well, that's cool, very cool. Interesting. Valentine's Day GAF.

00:34:52
Speaker 1: Nothing says romance like Read Shepherd.

00:34:54
Speaker 3: Valentine's Day's coming up.

If I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven, one person says, Matt, I love you guys, love this show. Four of you are getting on a flight and you just said earlier middle finger to Annabell, take it back.

00:36:03
Speaker 1: I tried to get you to take it back.

00:36:05
Speaker 3: All right, fine, because we're getting on a fly. Sorry, Annabell. Thank you. You're a wonderful young lady and I wish you the best.

00:36:15
Speaker 1: Very sincere.

00:36:16
Speaker 2: You're talking to a doll.

00:36:18
Speaker 3: You're the one that thinks you're the one that thinks all these players got injured because of it.

00:36:23
Speaker 2: I don't really think that, but you just apologize to it.

00:36:27
Speaker 3: Sorry, Annabell. One person writes Matt. In the corporate world today, everybody uses digital business cards. Billy's ahead of the game. You just don't understand. Yeah, I don't believe that. I mean, I believe people may do it and they act like they want it, but they don't. We're also not in the corporate world. He's trying to do that to Christian McCaffrey. Yeah, I mean I I I will grant you that there are probably a lot of people that have them and they tell them to scan them. But like, I don't think anybody.

00:36:51
Speaker 1: Uses you scan his. You got to put in your name, your phone number, your email, all your information before you can even get tweets.

00:36:57
Speaker 3: You think you think Billy McCaffrey is gonna be like Christian McCaffrey is going to be like, I'd like to put in my email and phone number so I can find out about this Billy kid.

00:37:07
Speaker 1: Billy really impressed me. I want to save his contact info.

00:37:10
Speaker 4: I think if you just tap iPhones that sends your contact info. Anyway, we could teach him that trick.

00:37:15
Speaker 3: I don't know think Christian McCaffrey wants Billy to have his iPhone number either.

00:37:19
Speaker 1: I just think, hey, he's legit nervous. That wasn't an act.

00:37:22
Speaker 3: That was that was not an act. Justin, go ahead, justin.

00:37:27
Speaker 5: Hey, Matt, I am a sophomore at Harvard from Lyon County.

00:37:30
Speaker 3: Oh wow, congratulations to you.

00:37:33
Speaker 5: By the way, thank you, thank you. I appreciate that. I wanted to get your take on the great inflation problem that you guys talked about earlier in the year. So Harvard actually reduced their number of a's from sixty percent to fifty three percent in the fall. There's kind of a split within the students of do students get more a's because we're Harvard students, or are the professors to lax so.

00:37:57
Speaker 3: They are too. Fifty three is still too high the whole point of grade. So like the fact that you go to Harvard in and of itself means I think a C at Harvard, I would assume a C at Harvard is as smart as an A at other schools. But like fifty three percent an A should be you are the best fifteen twenty percent in the class. If sixty percent of the kids are getting an A, then that's nothing. So when I was in law school, we had a curve and like I first didn't like it, but then I did well, and so I like the curve because there's a difference between the people who do really well and just kind of well. So to me, fifty three percent is way too high. I bet back in the day at Harvard only fifteen percent or twenty percent.

00:38:43
Speaker 5: Guy, as I think there's a there's a shift now where a lot of the professors are more interested in teaching rather than grading.

00:38:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's fine, but that's that's not the real world though, the real world all right now, I must sound like i'mst sound mag of Matt here for a second, But the real world is not everybody's gonna do well like it. You have to be competitive and like you have to teach people that you're gonna have to excel and so everybody is good. Is not the lesson that you that I think you want to teach. Now you're going to Harvard. If you just have a diploma, you're gonna do great in life if you don't screw it up. But like you should want to have the best of the best. So I I I know it hurts people's feelings to not get good grades, but you're at Harvard. Go for it all right, appreciate you, appreciate it. That is my view Now I feel differently maybe about UK where like I think it's a different thing. But at the top schools, I want people going for the BA. It's like at Kentucky. What if I told you sixty percent of the players in the SEC make All SEC first team. It's so fun. That's ridiculous. Who's good? Who's good? Same grades?

00:40:01
Speaker 1: Like you said, even the guy gets a D plus but gets a diploma D plus average gets a diploma from Harvard.

00:40:06
Speaker 3: You're what do you ask?

00:40:07
Speaker 1: It's still a diploma certificate.

00:40:09
Speaker 3: After you get your first after you get your first job, nobody cares what your grades were in Nobody ever asked me what my grades are.

00:40:15
Speaker 1: Douke Law school helps you get your first job and helps you get.

00:40:18
Speaker 3: Your first job. But even but if you go to Harvard, you're gonna get a good first job anyway. Yep. So that's just me if I'm not who's a big blue prophet? Go ahead?

00:40:30
Speaker 10: Oh yeah. I guess your opinion on days with the injuries is it needs to get a new medical staff or they are like like the springing we need to do with these players coming in? Are they already injured when we get them and they don't feel it's about it?

00:40:45
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I don't think they were fighting, but Drew, I don't think any other guys were. So no, I mean Low didn't have a shoulder problem. Appreciate the call.

00:40:53
Speaker 4: I had a couple of ankles here. Recently, there's a lot of people calling out our training staff.

00:40:57
Speaker 3: I I just I have.

00:40:59
Speaker 4: No idea of what they're doing and what they're not doing. You know, maybe it's an issue. But speaking of school in grades, I didn't get that far into the medical field to be able to criticize our trainers.

00:41:09
Speaker 3: Don't you want to know who the best doctors are. They need to have grade differences, you know, we.

00:41:15
Speaker 1: Don't talk always Braindy's ankle for the game and yet had twenty four points, didn't hit a three pointer, and guarded an a cup and trustrate him. That alone speaks highly of what he can do as a pro. I think he made some money in that game.

00:41:29
Speaker 3: By the way, I would also be okay if schools did pass fail like they do that at Yale Law School. Ye's just pass fail. If you want to do that, that's fine. Just be like everybody that graduates here is good. If you're gonna give grades sixty percent, getting in a is ridiculous.
