2025-05-21- KSR - Hour 2

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Welcome to hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones quarter back.

00:00:07
Speaker 2: It is having them two Kentucky Sports Radio. Now the sun is out, looks like it's gonna be a beautiful day. Eight five, nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. It is Wings day, Dollar Wings. Come on out for lunch. Already got some folks here. The man's already gotten his order. How about that? And then eleven o three foods are already out, ready to rock, Ryan Lemon, Drew Franklin, Matt Jones, and Shannon the Dude. One person writes, Matt, I think you're wrong on the way on the tips. It should be limited to the service industry plus only twenty five thousand dollars.

00:00:38
Speaker 3: Well, we'll see.

00:00:39
Speaker 2: I mean maybe if that's again, I'm probably four. I just think it's important, like when we when we talk about issues, like it's easy to say you're for something, you got to see how it'll play out in practicality, like what's actually gonna happen. And I think the tips thing is interesting if they limit it to restaurants. Okay, well what about people who get tips at work? At a hotel. Should they not be Should they not be part of it? What about landscape, mo and launch? Should they be part of it?

00:01:07
Speaker 3: Well? If not? Why?

00:01:09
Speaker 2: And then once you open it up to that stuff, the abuse thing I think becomes. Think about a realtor. What if they just say, all right, my payment to you for realtors one hundred dollars and the rest is my tip for you doing such a good job.

00:01:21
Speaker 4: I'll tell you, let's let's go, let's do it.

00:01:23
Speaker 3: I know you would, yea. That gives you.

00:01:25
Speaker 2: That gives you kind of a perverse incentive, right, And so I think that's just the thing you have to think about.

00:01:30
Speaker 5: I thought that seems every job is asking you for a tip. So yeah, I mean, you know, it comes up.

00:01:36
Speaker 3: In a lot of things.

00:01:36
Speaker 4: What we're gonna say. I got another angle want to ask you about. It's hard for servers to get a mortgage, like with stockedon mortgage because most of their income they make is on tips and they can't prove it. I guess if it's taxable income, they could prove it trying to get a mortgage.

00:01:49
Speaker 3: That's a very good point.

00:01:50
Speaker 2: That would But again, in the moment, are people going to think about when they have to get a mortgage down the line, or are they gonna think I can have more cash in my pocket right now. They're gonna say I want more cash in my pocket now right. I mean, that's at least what I would do.

00:02:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, they usually got plenty of cash, but there's no way to show it, prove it when it comes to trying to Morgan.

00:02:06
Speaker 2: So, I mean, I still am probably for it. I just think it's a I was surprised it was unanimous. You can't they can't get one hundred senators to agree on anything, and they they did that, which is even ran Paul, you know, I mean I was, I was just I was just a little surprised. Last night, before we go to the phones, I watched four games of sports at the same time, did you yes?

00:02:28
Speaker 3: Uh?

00:02:28
Speaker 2: And all four of them went not the way I wanted them to go. Okay, First of all, the Rads lost, the Pirates won nothing. There's nothing worse than watching the Reds score no runs to the Pirates. It was raining, it was disgusting. There were kids throwing candy cake what do you call it, cotton candy in their face and everybody was getting wet and we.

00:02:47
Speaker 3: Still lost one to nothing.

00:02:48
Speaker 2: The Pictures pitched really well for the Reds, but you know, when you don't score a run, you don't score a run.

00:02:54
Speaker 3: I'm already mad at Terry Francona.

00:02:56
Speaker 2: All right, we got our two hottest hitting guys on the team are left handed pictures right handed into the game. Will Benson and Gavin Lux are sitting there. They can check the check in. That's a basketball turn.

00:03:05
Speaker 3: But they can what are you saying, baseball sun sub men pitch.

00:03:09
Speaker 2: They can pitch hit exactly, and they don't put them in and they leave Connor Joe, who I didn't even know was on the team until last night. They made him hit and he was terrible, and we end up winning lose. Will Benson is hitting like four hundred in the last seven games.

00:03:22
Speaker 3: So we lost.

00:03:22
Speaker 2: So that made me man. Plus it looked miserable in Pittsburgh looked miserable. They were like eighteen people at the game.

00:03:30
Speaker 3: So that was that.

00:03:31
Speaker 2: Then the basketball, I was kind of rooting for Julius Randall and them and Oklahoma City. I kind of think Drew They're just gonna run through the whole series, Like I just I don't think Minnesota they just don't have enough ways to score.

00:03:42
Speaker 3: And Oklahoma City's defense is so good.

00:03:44
Speaker 5: I thought Minnesota was giving him a series. Then after I saw that defense last night, I kind of maybe not.

00:03:49
Speaker 3: If you tell me Julius Randall has twenty points and.

00:03:52
Speaker 2: A half he was and they still lose by twenty six points. That's not a very good sign, right, Yeah.

00:03:57
Speaker 5: Oklahoma City just has so many guys that can defend at there throwing at Edwards right now. He didn't have a great game.

00:04:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was awesome in the first half, and then Shay was awesome in the second half.

00:04:06
Speaker 3: So then so that was so now I'm all for two hockey. My Hurricanes got.

00:04:11
Speaker 2: Demolished in Game one, like just destroyed, not just five to one, like they couldn't they couldn't score. It was it was a disaster for moment one. I didn't enjoy that, and then the game I ain't up watching the most as I watched Caitlyn Clark, who's a lot of fun to watch.

00:04:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have to say a lot of fun to watch. They lost.

00:04:27
Speaker 2: You know, I was in Europe during the whole Caitlyn Clark's thing last summer, so.

00:04:31
Speaker 3: I didn't really get to see.

00:04:32
Speaker 2: It really fun to watch they but they lost too to Ron Howard and Britney Grinder who played together in uh in Atlanta.

00:04:39
Speaker 4: You know, I don't Katen Clark has a lot of haters, but she is fantastic.

00:04:42
Speaker 3: She is.

00:04:43
Speaker 5: She has a lot of haters.

00:04:44
Speaker 3: It feels like who hates her?

00:04:46
Speaker 4: I guess maybe the other players, other fans of other teams.

00:04:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like she's pretty popular. I mean, she's probably the most popular women's player.

00:04:55
Speaker 4: Little girls love her.

00:04:56
Speaker 3: Yeah. Who She's the most popular women's basketball player ever, isn't she?

00:05:01
Speaker 5: Yeah? So who would be more good? Started?

00:05:04
Speaker 3: Who? Lisa Leslie?

00:05:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know if, I mean, not as many people knew who she was, is Kate? I mean again, my mom would know who Caitlyn Clark is, Like, I don't know if she would have known who Lisa Leslie was in her day.

00:05:18
Speaker 5: That stat that she's one game away from the twenty points tennisis already She's number two all time and number one played like four hundred something games and she's played like forty. That is crazy.

00:05:29
Speaker 3: The thing that I can't believe.

00:05:30
Speaker 2: So I look this up during the game and if you know the answer don't say it. But if you do know, or if you don't know, then you can guess. Tay, I want you to guess. Do you know how much Kaitlyn Clark makes? But don't say it. If you know, no, I don't know.

00:05:45
Speaker 3: Do you know? I don't know, Shannon, do you know? No? Do you know? Mario?

00:05:50
Speaker 2: All right, I want you all four to guess what does Kaitlyn Clark make a year?

00:05:54
Speaker 3: In Sally?

00:05:54
Speaker 2: There are forty WNBA games and she was the number one pick in the draft, so you know there's a rookie scale.

00:06:01
Speaker 3: Mario, what do you think she makes a year? Eighty thousand?

00:06:05
Speaker 5: I'll say one hundred and seventy thousand.

00:06:07
Speaker 4: What do you think I was gonna go one point five one point five million?

00:06:10
Speaker 6: Okay, uh shit, two hundred and fifty thousand.

00:06:13
Speaker 2: Well, the one person who must know is Mario. It's seventy eight thousand dollars.

00:06:18
Speaker 3: Get greed. Wow, that's seventy eight thousand dollars.

00:06:23
Speaker 2: This woman is one of the most famous athletes in America now and is one of if she may not be the best, but she's one of the five or six best players in the in the league.

00:06:33
Speaker 3: She makes seventy eight thousand dollars. I was shocked.

00:06:37
Speaker 2: I mean I thought it would be like two hundred one point five million a little and that's.

00:06:42
Speaker 5: Over the salary cap for teams it really is. The max is a two hundred thousand, something like two twenty and so.

00:06:48
Speaker 4: That's while these ladies go play overseas, they make more money over That's.

00:06:51
Speaker 2: Why Brittney Grinder and those women ended up in Russia because in Russia they were playing like half a million dollars a year for the women to come play a couple months in Russia. So there's like these Russian oligarchs that run teams and they would pay these American women like tons of money to come play. Now they've stopped doing that obviously because Britney Runner got arrested. So now they're like, I'm not going there, But.

00:07:14
Speaker 1: Why doesn't she get in the league max. Then if it's two twenty, wise she because there's a.

00:07:17
Speaker 3: Rookie scale, like you know, the rookies make less.

00:07:20
Speaker 6: If she'll get that next year, then.

00:07:22
Speaker 2: Well it's like a four or five year deal before she she'll eventually get it. But when you think about the fact that every arena she plays in she sells out and it's mostly because of her seventy eight thousand dollars through to me is insane.

00:07:38
Speaker 5: And I've seen it wasn't it Just recently she like paid the fine for a teammate and they still have pretty significant funds. I feel like WNBA funds should be much lower in knowing their salaries. But she clearly making most of her money on endorsements. If she's able to have the wealth that she does, because it's not coming from that rookie deal.

00:07:52
Speaker 2: I feel like though those women are getting completely screwed by that completely. I mean, I'm sure when they signed it like attendance was bad and all that, but now all these games are getting record ratings and they're still getting seventy That was just an amazing.

00:08:06
Speaker 6: A rookie deal for five years. I mean, what is that for four years?

00:08:13
Speaker 3: It's insane to me that that's the amount of money. But they're gonna be like.

00:08:16
Speaker 5: The old Boston Celtics players working on farms in the sun.

00:08:18
Speaker 3: They do have other jobs. All these women do other things in the offseason because they have to.

00:08:23
Speaker 6: Kaitlyn Clark on a door dash maybe I.

00:08:26
Speaker 4: Wonder what she made at Iowa their last year at Iowa. She probably made a ton of money there.

00:08:31
Speaker 2: Well, that's one of the reasons these women are gonna stay in college for four years.

00:08:35
Speaker 3: If they're really good.

00:08:35
Speaker 2: They will make more in college then they will make in the WNBA. Right, Georgia Amore, I am certain made more money this year then she will make in the first year of the WNBA.

00:08:47
Speaker 3: I'm sure that's true.

00:08:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, And if they don't have endorsements, that's an alright salary for someone, but a professional athlete with all those eyeballs on them, you think it'd be more.

00:08:56
Speaker 3: So it was interesting to me in watching that game last night.

00:08:59
Speaker 6: Who's now, Diane?

00:09:00
Speaker 3: Diane?

00:09:01
Speaker 7: Go ahead, Dian, Hello, everybody. Back to the deal about paying taxes on tip. I was a career server, and I wanted to clarify several things I think would be interesting to our public. First of all, Matt's comment about the minimum wage. If you work with slow day and you make five dollars, they have to pay minimum wage. That is true. Over a period of a week.

00:09:27
Speaker 3: That's true.

00:09:27
Speaker 7: You have, right, one very one, very slow day and you make nothing or two even you're screwed at the end of the week. Okay, because most of the time that that's not going to happen very rarely. Secondly, people need to pay taxes on tips so they can pay into social Security.

00:09:45
Speaker 3: You're exactly that that she makes a very good point. This is like your point about let me know, hang on, just hang on, let me past the show, and I'm glad to let you talk.

00:09:55
Speaker 7: That's where I don't want you to interrupt me like that.

00:09:57
Speaker 2: Other I'm sorry you to your point about getting taxable money for a mortgage. Same thing's true about social Security. If you don't report it, it won't go towards your social security A long time from now. However, the natural inclination is for somebody to go, well, I need the money now, I'll worry about social Security later. So I mean I very few people sit drough and think about what's going to happen to him in twenty five thirty years, right.

00:10:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, to change the little Since I was serving, there's more cash. But the end of the night, when you'd clock out, it would say what did you make and say you made two hundred, like, yeah, I made about eighty. But you don't think long term, or it's harder because credit card tip go ahead and I never did that, by the way.

00:10:37
Speaker 7: Well then, and the two things that are kind of connected. When you are a server and you check out at the end of the night, they're going to have a total of credit card tips, and they're gonna have how much you had in cash now of sales. So you have to pay the full credit card tips, have to report, but.

00:11:02
Speaker 3: Not anymore, not anymore. This is the point of this bill.

00:11:05
Speaker 2: The spill would the spill would let you take the credit card tips and not be charged tax on it.

00:11:10
Speaker 7: Well, I'm talking about now, but let me finish about the taxes on tip. But with cash tips, by law, you're only required to pay tax. You only required to report ten percent of it. Even though we are now basically a cashless society. The best way to help a server is tipped up. Pay cash for your bill than anything you tip them. They only have to pay ten percent, they only have to report ten percent of it. Then, the last thing I'll say is Ryan's comment about the mortgage thing and getting a mortgage. When you're a server, the biggest challenge is no matter how many hours a week you work, that type of work is always considered part time and you have to work a minimum of two years consistently part time work before they will use your income for a mortgage.

00:11:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I appreciate the call exactly right, and not like, yeah, this is not I'm not here to argue with the thing. I'm just pointing out what is going to, what has happened, and there will be you know, there will be ramification. People say ask sometimes, Matt, how do you get through all the noise in news to find out what's important? And I think that's a really fair question because so much of politics now is I like this person, I hate this person. I like this person, I hate this person, and it becomes like about the people and not the policy. Right now, Congress is debating this budget which will decide probably the next ten years of our future as to taxes and many many things, and most people don't even know they're like voting on them before they've even read them. It's amazing, Like and this tax thing is part of it. I just but this is something that will obviously.

00:12:52
Speaker 3: Affect people like right immediately, And I just wan the only reason why I brought it up.

00:12:57
Speaker 4: She has some good points. I think she thought it was on interrupt day.

00:13:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, she was appreciating your call.

00:13:03
Speaker 2: I know, I felt like I was being scolded Shannon, but I needed to go ahead and let her finish.

00:13:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, when old women call in, I know that's your soft So she's not old.

00:13:11
Speaker 2: Why do you say that people are old? You're the one that always say you don't know that she's old. She see, I'm the one that's considered to be mean and Shannon says things like that, No, I do. That is my soft spot older women.

00:13:26
Speaker 3: I feel like you know what you for.

00:13:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't think he's older than me.

00:13:31
Speaker 3: That's not the same as as who's that.

00:13:34
Speaker 6: All right, let's go to speaking of old people. Bob and Jamestown.

00:13:37
Speaker 3: Oh goodness. If I'm not said, Bob, you got a minute, I'm gonna have to go to break.

00:13:43
Speaker 8: Oh I want to give you thirty seconds. Is it time for a dedicated UK basketball museum? Craft Center is pretty much the museum now, but I think we need something like back when they headed in Reparena early. I could say.

00:13:59
Speaker 2: Here's something I don't Bob and James Town, and I agree with you. Yep, I do think we need a UK basketball museum. I also think that we it's going to make it very hard to happen because we gave all that stuff away. I mean, it's one of the great, in my opinion, tragedies of the UK basketball is when they closed that museum, whoever was working at UK at the time said we don't want this stuff.

00:14:19
Speaker 3: So remember it was it was it was a.

00:14:21
Speaker 2: Private foundation, right, and they once they closed it down, they didn't have anything to do with it, and they offered the university the stuff back and the university said no, and so they just gave it away. So there are private people all over Kentucky that have these pieces of UK basketball history and it kind of drives me crazy. And I know some of them and I think they treat it with respect. But now it's all over the place and you're missing. I mean, imagine if the Hall of Fame just gave away all their baseball memorabilia and then you try again later to put it back together. It's like an egg. You can't put it back together, you know.

00:14:59
Speaker 3: It was.

00:14:59
Speaker 4: It was very sad that all played out there at the end. But Kentucky UK definitely need some sort of museum showcase. I mean, Oscar Oscar Combs has got some great stuff walked in like a storage unit.

00:15:10
Speaker 2: Oscar Combs has stuff I've talked about how the heavy hitter has.

00:15:13
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean and Bob, what do you you don't have any What do you have?

00:15:20
Speaker 8: Bob oh Man, I got all kinds of.

00:15:26
Speaker 3: What do you have? UK Basketball Museum.

00:15:32
Speaker 8: I've got a T shirt with my picture on it with when they had.

00:15:40
Speaker 3: The museum. You. Honestly, a picture of you needs to be in the museum.

00:15:48
Speaker 9: Anyway.

00:15:48
Speaker 8: We need to get that. We need to get He listened to him.

00:15:54
Speaker 3: This is what I get.

00:15:55
Speaker 2: He makes one good point and then he's like, I have a man in it.

00:15:58
Speaker 4: What the UK back came on?

00:16:00
Speaker 3: Museum? Stop it? Do you can? Shannon? This is your fault. The NBA files are almost tier.

00:16:06
Speaker 2: Every second counts with the draft gigs, sports book, player props, game lines, live bets.

00:16:38
Speaker 3: I don't do Anythingeah you do.

00:16:45
Speaker 2: Welcome back, Take you Sports Radio eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.

00:16:49
Speaker 3: I just got a message from the Jay and lofolks.

00:16:52
Speaker 2: They're gonna postpone the interview U until next week, so there you go.

00:16:57
Speaker 4: I'm anxious to hear from him. I mean, there's a lot of expectations on his shoulder. He's gonna be the guy driving the car next to you next year, and I really don't know a lot about him yet.

00:17:04
Speaker 3: One person, right, Matt.

00:17:05
Speaker 2: I listened to the Matt Jones podcast after I accidentally started the other one, which wasn't as good. Yeah, the other guy got a boost. Yes, you did what you think. I really enjoyed you talking to Bomani. I like you in the long form interviews. You do need to change the name of it, though, I think I do. I think I'm gonna give myself through the weekend. I think I'm gonna call it interrupted with Matt Jones. There's already three matts planning, so I don't think I can do that. You like that one, right, interrupted with Matt Jones.

00:17:36
Speaker 3: What do you think?

00:17:36
Speaker 5: I think that's the one. I liked Matt's planning, But if there are others, we don't want more confusion like we had yesterday.

00:17:41
Speaker 2: We did have a lot of confusion yesterday, but we still had significant numbers of people that like, kind of shockingly high numbers. So like there'll be two more this week next week. Drew doesn't know this. He's gonna be on for an episode, all right, He's up. So just so you know, where are you in the theme song? Well, the problem is there's no theme song. Unless somebody writes it specifically for me, I can't use it on the podcast. So I you know, maybe somebody will write one that catches my fancy and we can do but I can't.

00:18:11
Speaker 3: You know, there's not gonna be anything I can.

00:18:13
Speaker 2: Put on that people will know that that is allowed on the podcast, at least right now.

00:18:18
Speaker 5: If only we knew a musician who's plugged into the show right now.

00:18:21
Speaker 3: I've offered to have Shannon do it, and he hasn't written.

00:18:23
Speaker 1: An you're releasing a new song, you want me to like write one specifically with lyrics for you Interrupted?

00:18:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that would be good.

00:18:32
Speaker 2: Like, you know, the song could be called Interrupted. I can use it on the show, and you also can use it in your things, Like it doesn't have to be about Matt Jones, but just the titles interrupted and then you write what you feel?

00:18:43
Speaker 5: All right?

00:18:44
Speaker 3: Does that sound like something?

00:18:46
Speaker 4: I think it sounds a great idea.

00:18:47
Speaker 3: It sounds like something to me. ESPN is sending Myron and I to the c m A Fest for our show.

00:18:54
Speaker 2: Oh Man, which is crazy. Has never been to a country music concert. He has never been to Nashville, and they're sending us to the CMA Fest to do the Matt and Myron show in two weeks. I've never been to CMA Fest. I've heard it's like wild.

00:19:13
Speaker 3: Is that true?

00:19:13
Speaker 5: I went to CMA Fest while the Preds had a home game in the finals in Broadway. It felt like the actual concrete was bouncing when you walked on. I'm not kidding. There were so many people you could literally fill the ground, move underneath your feet, just shoulder to shoulder everywhere.

00:19:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're trying to book all these bro country singers, which I might have to act like, Oh hi, hey, Parker McCullum, nice to talk to you today. But I am excited to go to CMA Fest. I don't know why they're taking us there. I really don't, but we're gonna be there Sunday, June eighth or ninth, whatever.

00:19:46
Speaker 5: It is not sticking to sports. It seems onyest.

00:19:48
Speaker 3: They were fine, they want us to do it, so I said, sure.

00:19:50
Speaker 4: You're gonna break out the cowboy hat.

00:19:52
Speaker 3: Oh for sure.

00:19:53
Speaker 2: This is definitely I mean if there was ever a time to bring out the cowboy Hey, but you've been so you.

00:20:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, what are you gonna ask Shaboozi.

Speaker 2: I want want to hear your I thought everybody in the club getting tips was a different person.

00:20:36
Speaker 5: It's Jake one and Chaboozi stolen and made it country.

00:20:59
Speaker 7: Uh.

00:20:59
Speaker 9: Pretty sure they're on their honeymoon right now with the plus sized park hoppers in Disney on the teacups. But also just wanted to say one more thing there. Just kind of curious on the UK performing in the Transfer Portal. Yes, I really don't understand how we're gonna lose a nine time SEC champ in Lexington Legend Stone Cold Willow to Cincinnati.

00:21:20
Speaker 3: I just really like to hear your thoughts on that.

00:21:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, Stone Cole Willow, who famously nearly injured Netherlands no oil before he got injured, is leaving. I wish Stone called the best. You were been buddies with him forever. He's leaving Lexington.

00:21:34
Speaker 5: I will say. I saw him last November and he gave me a big hug, said he's leaving. I've seen him several times since, including two weekends ago, so I don't know if he's still leaving, but he is. He's right where we left him.

00:21:45
Speaker 3: It's like the John Cennickadby tour.

00:21:47
Speaker 5: I went out downtown two weeks ago and Willow is one of the first people I saw on the sidewalk, So I don't know if he's actually gone yet.

00:21:53
Speaker 2: By the way, there's a report yesterday Kentucky spent the most money in the transfer portal.

00:21:57
Speaker 4: You good with that? Good with that, Mark, Pope. We should spend the best. We should, you know, be at top of all the categories because we are Kentucky.

00:22:05
Speaker 3: Do you want us to always like spend the most? Yes? Yes? So no, no saving him month.

00:22:12
Speaker 4: I'm like, Drew, it ain't my money what we're saving it for.

00:22:14

00:24:14
Speaker 7: So?

Speaker 5: There's a big gap between your show and Zach Top where I don't know most of these people.

00:25:01
Speaker 3: That's okay, Now you got me excited. If I get Darryl Worthy and Zach Top, it's worth the true Also Dirks Bentley, his wife's very nice. And it ends with Luke Bryant. If you want to go see some movie, bea top. That's a good get.

00:25:14
Speaker 5: Though he and Mason Ramsey stand out on that list.

00:25:17
Speaker 2: We talked yesterday about the engagement of Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson. It looks to be It looks to be real. Now, what do you think about this edition? Did you hear about his boat?

00:25:29
Speaker 8: No?

00:25:29
Speaker 3: You know his boat was called eight rings because he's won eight rings two is a defensive coordinator of the Giants, and then six as.

00:25:37
Speaker 2: The head coach of the Patriots. He called it eight rings. Someone Shannon has painted. They have changed the name of the boat to one plus eight rings for her state championship cheerleading.

00:25:54
Speaker 6: And her engagement ring, and that would be.

00:25:57
Speaker 3: Two aims the name of his boat to add her ring to the to the number. Is that not amazing? Man?

00:26:10
Speaker 2: It is everything every day comes out, becomes more and more crazy, and I love it.

00:26:15
Speaker 3: And so it is. It's now called one plus eight.

00:26:18
Speaker 5: Looking at it, I'm looking at a video.

00:26:20
Speaker 4: Of it, one plus eight rings.

00:26:23
Speaker 6: There's no end.

00:26:24
Speaker 3: Twice.

00:26:25
Speaker 2: If you need help, you act like though you all wouldn't do this if it was.

00:26:31
Speaker 3: I mean, I've watched.

00:26:32
Speaker 2: I don't know that I can think of anything for any of you that's quite this extreme. But there's no doubt in my mind, Ryan does similar things, he just doesn't tell us. And you know, but one plus eight rings is pretty it's something else?

00:26:47
Speaker 5: What does he not or what does she not have control over?

00:26:50
Speaker 3: At this point?

00:26:51
Speaker 5: Does Bill have like a room he can go to?

00:26:53
Speaker 3: Do you think do you think he he demanded or a prenup? Like what? What do you think the prenup situation?

00:27:00
Speaker 5: She would have wadded it up and thrown in his face.

00:27:03
Speaker 4: About he is doing whatever she says?

00:27:06
Speaker 3: So you think, no, you think there'll be no pre nup?

00:27:09
Speaker 4: No, I think she'll talk him out of it. Sounds like she's got complete control of that man right now.

00:27:14
Speaker 3: Wow, I love it.

00:27:18
Speaker 5: One plus eight rings, one plus eight rings rings?

00:27:22
Speaker 3: Who's next? Shame Derek, Derek, go ahead.

00:27:24
Speaker 10: Derek, Hey guys, what's up?

00:27:28
Speaker 3: How you doing?

00:27:29
Speaker 10: I had a comment about pretty good. I had a comment about you saying you would put your kids on social media, But I got a equation that you're probably not even considered.

00:27:41
Speaker 8: Okay to have those kids.

00:27:43
Speaker 10: You're probably gonna have wife. And you ever heard happy wife, happy life. She's probably gonna dictate this whether or not if you put that on Facebook or social media. Just just f y.

00:27:57
Speaker 2: I but she could put it on her account. I don't have to put it on mic. You see what I'm saying? Like that, I think that would be that that would be the way I would do it.

00:28:06
Speaker 5: You're gonna have a joint account.

00:28:07
Speaker 3: But I'm not gonna have a joint account.

00:28:09
Speaker 9: No.

00:28:10
Speaker 2: I do think when people have a joint account all when I see a joint Facebook account, that tells me all I need to know about the man Like that tells me, tells me who runs the relationship. I mean, that is a very very clear and obvious ending.

00:28:26
Speaker 6: He wants it that.

00:28:28
Speaker 3: No, that's not why. That's not what I happened to go ahead.

00:28:32
Speaker 10: I'm surprised those the guys have chimed in on that.

00:28:34
Speaker 11: Especially there's only one here.

00:28:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, the only one. All right, appreciate the experienced Ryan, do you does it?

00:28:51
Speaker 2: Somebody was saying yesterday that they thought you sounded angry when Shannon made fun of you for your marriages not working.

00:28:57
Speaker 3: Are you okay with those with that comedy?

00:28:59
Speaker 4: I'm okay with it. I mean, I live through it. It may be who I am today. I'm proud of who myself. I laugh at myself.

00:29:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's okay, though, you know, they say third times a chunk, no chilend of Farms.

00:29:13
Speaker 2: June twenty twenty five, we started receiving beef from no Cha Lindon Farms newest harvest, and it would make a great Father's Day gift.

00:29:20
Speaker 3: When is Father's Day? June second, third.

00:29:23
Speaker 5: Week June it's k sixteenth fifteenth whatever you can get.

00:29:27
Speaker 2: No Cha lend of Farms order now drive beef for your father's door. Go to no Cha Lendafarms dot call or calm or call eight five nine seven oh seven, seven thousand and four. They have gift cards running through June eleventh through June fifte excuse me June through June fifteenth. Go to no Cha lendafarms dot com for your Father's Day gifts. Great beef at great price and it is better than anything you'll get at a restaurant. Try no Cha Lindafarms dot com. We'll take a break of you right back. It's Kysorry like Daryl Worley.

00:30:01
Speaker 3: The song was a little ridiculous, but but he's got other ones too. I can't remember, but they're good. And don't you tell me not to worry about Ben Lauden? Have you forgotten?

00:30:13
Speaker 4: So are they gonna be scheduled guests or just cut people walk by. You're gonna grab him as they cake.

00:30:17
Speaker 2: Shaboozy is scheduled because Myron requested him. Because Myron said he didn't want to be the only black person there, so he requested Shaboozie and asked if he could come.

00:30:25
Speaker 3: So that's the been good.

00:30:27
Speaker 1: Anna, You're gonna tell Daryl Worley that you haven't forgotten.

00:30:31
Speaker 3: I haven't forgotten Daryl Worley.

00:30:33
Speaker 2: I genuinely really like Deryl Worley, and I have a couple of stories I can talk to him about. So I'm excited about that. Let's go over a couple of little news things before we go. They just decided to not ban the tush push good or bad.

00:30:48
Speaker 4: I'm okay with it. But I thought they were gonna ban it. Said there was such a rallying cry in the NFL to get rid of it. But I'm not. I'm okay with it.

00:30:55
Speaker 5: I'm okay with keeping it is the rule, just because they found a good way.

00:30:59
Speaker 3: To get the play.

00:31:00
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, thank you, Fellas. It's just a boring play. Otherwise I'd be fine with it. It's just a little boring. Yeah, but nevertheless, uh, they're keeping it. Boogie Flann commits to Florida. Some people say this might make Florida a contender for preseason number one. Would you say Florida is a power program now under Todd Golden? I mean, obviously they want a title. Do you think they're gonna be consistently really good again?

00:31:22
Speaker 5: They got some guys coming back. I feel like he's gonna make a huge jump playing for Todd Golden. I mean, we saw how good Walter Clayton was playing for him. I think Boogie Flann's gonna be Is that gonna.

00:31:32
Speaker 2: Be a bad look for Cal Yes, if Boogie Flann goes in conference and becomes very.

00:31:36
Speaker 4: Good, I gotta admit this kind of surprised me. I mean, you know, Arkansas allegedly has all that money, and yet he's gonna leave after you know, when he was hurt, he wanted to come back, and kind of you know, he wasn't.

00:31:48
Speaker 3: He wasn't gonna get picked in the first round.

00:31:50
Speaker 2: No, I mean, ultimately that's you know, he came back for many reasons, but the biggest reason was he wasn't good, and Arkansas was good better without him than they were with him, so he's coming back because he has to. But I actually agree with Drew. I think I think he's gonna be good next year. I think Todd Golden has shown that dudes like that he can make it work. I think he's gonna be really good. And it's gonna be awkward for Arkansas fans if any of their three guards don't if DJ doesn't make a big jumper, if one of the freshmen don't play well, they're gonna be looking across the conference like, why didn't we keep him instead? Because I think it was a decision by Cal to roll with the other three, Which.

00:32:24
Speaker 3: Gets me to my third thing.

00:32:26
Speaker 2: Arkansas fans Arkansas media, I've noticed starting to complain that Cali Perry won't talk to the media, has no access, and nobody knows what's going on. I mean, I hate to say I told you so, Drew, but I think we kind of told them so.

00:32:40
Speaker 5: We heard a little bit of that middle of the year. Part of it is they're frustrated because they were losing. I think they forgot pretty quickly once they went on that run late in the season, but there was a time early last year where they were like, does Cal even live in Fayetteville, Like, no one ever sees this guy, and that's just who he is.

00:32:55
Speaker 3: Like, that's what you that's what you get when you sign on to him. Ryan.

00:32:58
Speaker 2: Sesame Street has been bought by Netflix, and there had been some talk it might go away because Trump might cut funding to PBS. Netflix has bought it and now Sesame Street, Sesame Street will live on on Netflix.

00:33:12
Speaker 3: Do you like?

00:33:12
Speaker 4: That makes me feel good? Really? You know, because that's what we we all grew up on. I grew up on it every day watching Sesame Street when we only got like three channels.

00:33:20
Speaker 2: All right, let's play a game here between you three. All right, it is name a Sesame Street character. Let's see who who gets knocked out first, Ryan.

00:33:29
Speaker 4: Cookie, Monster, Oscar the Grouch.

00:33:31
Speaker 12: Shannon Elmo, Elmo, Ryan Big Bird, Drew Bert Bert, Shannon Bernie, Ryan, Count Dracula.

00:33:42
Speaker 5: Okay, what was the big thing snuffull of?

00:33:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna give you credit for snuffle off. I guess well done, Shannon.

00:33:50
Speaker 6: I'm trying to think of who's even left now? Oh uh, Kermit?

00:33:57
Speaker 3: Part of that. Kermit was a muppet that's differently. All right, So you're out.

00:34:00
Speaker 2: So now it's down to YouTube Sesame Street characters Ryan.

00:34:04
Speaker 4: Uh, Julio? Is that Javier Jose? What was the Hispanic new the new Hispanic one?

00:34:11
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you can't just keep casing do we know what? Do we do? We know? I can't remember his exact name, Okay, so it's all so Drew, if you get one, you win.

00:34:20
Speaker 5: Wall no more as far as I could, you got no more zero.

00:34:24
Speaker 4: Do you know what.

00:34:28
Speaker 3: I think?

00:34:28
Speaker 6: We named them all? Oh?

00:34:30
Speaker 3: I know one? Okay?

00:34:31
Speaker 6: Oh no, No, he was a muppet. It was Grover on there.

00:34:35
Speaker 2: Grover, Yeah, Grover, Grover Sesame Street. Okay, so there would have been one more.

00:34:41
Speaker 3: So you two tie for first. There's gotta be more.

00:34:44
Speaker 2: Miser I feel like Grover was said, count right, I know two, Okay, go for it.

00:34:49
Speaker 4: Bert and Ernie said, they said, I don't know.

00:34:52
Speaker 5: You guys said like second round picks.

00:34:54
Speaker 2: I like, how confident he was excited And.

00:34:58
Speaker 3: We had already said, Burt Mario, did you watch Sesame Street? Do you know any all? Right?

00:35:03
Speaker 2: Finally, HBO Max is putting out a documentary two hour documentary on the life and times.

00:35:11
Speaker 3: Of Pee Wee Herman.

00:35:13
Speaker 6: I watch.

00:35:13
Speaker 2: I kind of think that's gonna be good. I have to say, because you know, you got this man. He was like a really good comedian. He does this one character which then becomes his life. Like he was like a comedian. He was in the groundlings, like the people that went and did Saturday Night Live and all that.

00:35:28
Speaker 3: He was part of that group.

00:35:29
Speaker 2: He did one character as a joke one time, got a TV show from it, and it became his life and for the rest of his life.

00:35:36
Speaker 3: They didn't call him Paul Rubens.

00:35:37
Speaker 2: They called it. Everybody called him pee wee. They'd scream at him on the street peewee. Then, of course he had that time that he did that thing and that thing when things were happening, and that that made it kind of bad. They canceled his show and then he had to live the rest of his life as this man that everyone called pee weee and knew that he had done with his pee wee some things in the in the thing, So, I mean, he did have some picko finchers.

00:36:01
Speaker 3: I think that'll be an interesting documentary, don't you.

00:36:04
Speaker 4: Young girl and I have been counting down the days I'll leave. It's tomorrow. It comes out tomorrow. We will absolutely watch it. I'm really excited.

00:36:09
Speaker 3: To see it.

00:36:10
Speaker 2: You've been counting, Yeah, you got a pee we count down on this second.

00:36:14
Speaker 3: I just wondered if you were going to watch it. You're telling me you're counting down the day.

00:36:17
Speaker 4: We were sitting there watching it when we saw the trailer come on in the like may second, Like, okay.

00:36:22
Speaker 3: We're watching that day it's coming out.

00:36:23
Speaker 1: I think.

00:36:24
Speaker 6: So he's got to drive a race board on his refrigerator. He's counting down there a hard.

00:36:27
Speaker 3: Time talking wrong to watch.

00:36:29
Speaker 2: My man has an alarm clock situated for when it comes on.

00:36:33
Speaker 5: Okay, I can't compete with that. I'll definitely watch it.

00:36:35
Speaker 9: Do the.

00:36:37
Speaker 3: The dance.

00:36:38
Speaker 5: I watched another pee wee documentary on Netflix last night, the new Brett Farvr One's out. That's got a little little bit of a bet as pee Wee in too. I recommend watching that one. Shannon, that's your boy, Yeah, a little bit.

00:36:48
Speaker 3: Of a it's gonna be really good too. I think it's gonna be really good.

00:36:51
Speaker 2: Like I think he has a very fascinating life. It would be as if you took I mean a modern day equivalent, would be as if you took a a person like I don't know when when will Forte was on Saturday Night Live and he did one skit where he acts like a child and then that becomes his whole life and and and he that's all he ever does.

00:37:15
Speaker 3: I think that's interesting.

00:37:16
Speaker 4: Watched a lot of Pee Wee playhous because of my Gavin was it young and gyoge girl's son was young at that was kind of what was popular during that day. A lot of sexual innuendos.

00:37:25
Speaker 2: There's a lot of it's very adult, Yes it is if you watch it. Another person like this is Larry the Cable guy. I didn't know for years and years that that was a character. I mean, I knew he was like being exaggerated, but I didn't know He's not.

00:37:39
Speaker 3: Like that at all. He's just a guy. And then he played this character and does anyone know his real name? No? Do you know his real name?

00:37:49
Speaker 12: No?

00:37:49
Speaker 5: But he's like stuck in it.

00:37:50
Speaker 3: Do you know his real like? And the thing is now he has to spend his whole life going gear dude and like, and it's and he's not even I don't even know if he's even Southern.

00:37:59
Speaker 5: I've seen him at like golf tournaments, no cameras around, but he still has to be Larry the Cable Guy.

00:38:04
Speaker 3: Imagine if every time you had to go out, you had to go and that wasn't who you were.

00:38:11
Speaker 2: I mean, he's made a lot of money, so I'm sure he's fine, But like that's I think that's interesting, don't you.

00:38:15
Speaker 4: I know nothing about him other than Larry the Cable Guy. If he was a comedian stand up guy before that, I know nothing.

00:38:20
Speaker 6: Name Daniel, his name's Daniel.

00:38:22
Speaker 3: His name's Daniel, and he goes by Larry and he has like if you listen to him before he did the Larry the Cable Guy, I think he just has a normal voice. He's just a person.

00:38:32
Speaker 4: Well yeah, kind of along the same line. Jim Varney from here in Lexington. Perfect example, Y did Ernest and all of a sudden, that's all he was was Ernest.

00:38:39
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:38:39
Speaker 4: Everybody just won't even go And I think about it if I know the story right. He did it first for a car commercial Tennessee, No for in lex Lexington.

00:38:48
Speaker 2: Okay, it was for a Lexington car commercial and he ended up making a career out of a character he created for a commercial.

00:38:56
Speaker 3: Just that stuff is interesting to me. All right, who's up next?

00:38:59
Speaker 6: Tim?

00:38:59
Speaker 3: Tim?

00:39:00
Speaker 11: Go ahead, Tim, what's going on, guys. A couple of things here. The WNBA lost fifty million dollars last year, and they paid these women exactly what they can afford to pay him for four months of one.

00:39:11
Speaker 2: But see that seems ridiculous to me because if they if the WNBA, which at times last year was getting higher ratings than virtually every other sport, especially when Kaitlyn Clark played, if they can't, if they still find a way to lose fifty million dollars, then that's a problem with their business model because they've I mean.

00:39:29
Speaker 11: They're followed the league that I can name ten players, I can probably name Tim.

00:39:33
Speaker 3: But you're not, to be honest with.

00:39:35
Speaker 2: You, you're not the you're not the you know, you're not the target demographic. You know they're they're not They're not trying to get you. They're trying to get younger people and women.

00:39:45
Speaker 8: I get it.

00:39:45
Speaker 11: Matt, have you ever thought about, like you've excelled at what you've been doing for the last twenty years and now when we're talking about the museum stuff, like maybe it's time for Matt Jones to do something that elevates him into maybe not just a personality level, but just something like building a museum for Kentucky athletics or Kentucky basketball. They're writing a book that capture is what it's like for a farmer to be shooting basketball baskets on the side of a cliff in nineteen eighty four. Do you ever think about that, like maybe the money is not one of the best talents?

00:40:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yes, I mean I do sometimes think I appreciate the call that you know, there are more things to do, but at the same time, you also have to know what you're good at.

00:40:33
Speaker 3: And I've written books. I'll write some more books. I don't know. If I don't, I don't have the money to put up a museum.

00:40:38
Speaker 5: That's we're in our museum right now.

00:40:39
Speaker 3: This is well, this is kind of a little bit like a museum.

00:40:43
Speaker 2: But you know, yeah, do I sit and think about, oh, are there other things I should be doing?

00:40:47
Speaker 3: Sure?

00:40:48
Speaker 2: But ultimately the point of life is to be happy and enjoy yourself, and I really enjoy I'm in a better place than I've been in fifteen years, so I I you can't help but be happy about that.

00:41:02
Speaker 5: Plus, so, how are you gonna do museum? You can't hang anything up. They be on the ground if you would pay twenty dollars, just walk und.

00:41:07
Speaker 3: Tell me about Stock to Mortgage.

00:41:09
Speaker 2: That's why I gotta stay around here and do it is to talk about Stock to Morgan.
