We're in studio so I can pick out your calls, and you know that that means good things for some callers, not so good for some of the others. That's all right. I'm nine eight twenty two eighty seven full house here today. It is nasty outside and I don't like it. I thought it was supposed to be summer. This whole weekend was like fifty nine degrees and rainy. When do we you know, the only positive effect of global warming is it's supposed to be warm, and we don't even get that.

00:01:32
Speaker 5: It's a weird Memorial Day weekend. I started a fire on Saturday, set outside of my porch by fire, which was nice, but it didn't feel like the unofficial start of summer started off fire well, I mean I didn't like get sticks and rub stones together. I mean I have a fire pit. You know, Memorial Day weekend, you don't think you're going to need a fire, but I did on Saturday.

00:01:49
Speaker 4: I'd say, look at you, Camper Joe, Yeah, not quite quite that. I hit a button. It's hooked up to proping. Look good. Not nice job with that, but weird weather. You You said you went to the Lexington Sockey.

Speaker 5: Yes, I'm now a. I think we're called reilbirds. Had a great time. They call them real birds. I believe that's what we're called them. Still learning, still learning the chance I didn't get any of the smoke bombs or drum I'm not all the way in yet, but it's it was a good time. We're apparently not very good, right we are. We got some some growing to do. Been a while since they've won. They're in the last place in the West, and we played the last team in the East and it was a draw. So I guess now we know that we are. We're not definitively the worst. Correct you all should go. It was a lot of fun. I know we did the show out there when there wasn't a match.

00:02:33
Speaker 4: But oh, I've tried to I mean, we did the show out there. I've tried to get involved with them in the show, and for whatever reason, there's just been I mean, we went out there, so that was neat. But I'd love to do something with him. I think I want that to succeed, you know, I want sports. Louisville's team has succeeded, has succeeded a lot, not just on the field, although I think they've won it before. But just like the it's a big thing in the city and I'd like that to happen here too, Ryan as well.

00:03:04
Speaker 6: And if Drew said they've got their host Louisville coming up, I mean that should be the game we all go to and they host.

00:03:08

00:03:12
Speaker 7: July twenty six?

Speaker 6: I broke my nose before, and it feels the same way. And nothing to do about it. There's nothing can do for it.

00:04:15
Speaker 4: Is it can't do anything. They can't do. Tell me, there's not what modern medicine. There's not one thing they can do for a broken nose unless it needs set.

00:04:23
Speaker 7: But it doesn't need set. It's you know, because it look it looks straight to me.

00:04:27
Speaker 4: I mean you already it looks straight to you. Yeah, that's your medical diagnosis. It looks straight to you. First of all, you already have the worst snoring on earth. This is not gonna happen. You fixed it.

00:04:39
Speaker 5: It's like Rookie of the Year when he broke his arm.

00:04:41
Speaker 6: I have been breathing better the past forty eight hours since it happened.

00:04:46
Speaker 4: Oh so you think you popped it into plut I.

Speaker 7: Think, like my deviated septum.

00:04:49

00:05:19
Speaker 8: Then?

00:05:20
Speaker 4: Gosh to say it?

00:05:22
Speaker 7: You know the herbies, you put your stuff in the trash, your herbie's.

00:05:26
Speaker 4: I don't know what that means.

00:05:27
Speaker 7: You know your herbie that you take it out to the corner.

00:05:29
Speaker 4: Okay, you mean a trashrash can?

00:05:30
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, yeah, we call them herbi's. We were doing some landscaping. We're putting the weeds in the herbie and it was in the grass and we were done. So I was gonna pop it back up on the sidewalk, you know, give it a real hard push to pop it from the grass up on the sidewalk. And I did it, and it didn't pop on the sidewalk and I faced planted right on the candle of the herbie.

00:05:51
Speaker 4: So you punched yourself onto a trash can, Yes, that was the That was the better explanation. You you punched yourself with a trash can.

00:05:58
Speaker 7: Yes, And there was blood everywhere.

00:06:01
Speaker 4: And and so you were bleeding everywhere everywhere. There's never a moment you thought maybe I should get this looked at.

00:06:05
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, but I when I had my vertigo, I went to the emergency room. That cost me five thousand dollars. Like, I'm not spending another five thousand dollars when I'm broke to.

00:06:13
Speaker 4: Cost you five thousand dollars.

00:06:15
Speaker 6: Yes, I'm still paying on that bill for what emergency rooms?

00:06:20
Speaker 7: Cat scans, eat eat, kg's all this mess?

00:06:24
Speaker 4: Do you do? You have insurance?

00:06:25
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's awful. It's not good. It's a cheap insurance. It's not very good.

00:06:29
Speaker 4: I mean, you're getting old, I know, and you're hinting yourself with trash can. Yeah. I mean you literally punch yourself in the face with trash cans. Face plan getting insurance that? I mean when I I have had, unfortunately go to the emergency room at times with my uh, you know, when I had the seizure stuff, people get scared and then I know it doesn't cost me five thousand dollars. Yeah, crazy, it doesn't cost anything close to five thousand. So I was not going back to know they're getting it. Okay, why don't you get new emergency. I'm gonna have to. I'm gonna have to. You know, you work at a company that has insurance.

00:07:00
Speaker 6: But I'm just considered a part time employee. They I can't get it. I've tried.

00:07:04
Speaker 4: What mean you've tried.

00:07:05
Speaker 7: I've tried to try to get on the insurance.

00:07:08
Speaker 4: Your contract negotiations.

00:07:10
Speaker 7: I've tried that.

00:07:10
Speaker 4: I tried that last time. Didn't work and what happened? They can't do it? Come part time? But why don't you say? Why don't you make me full time? I don't think they want to.

00:07:18
Speaker 2: You got to work thirty hours a week.

00:07:23
Speaker 5: They don't want to give insurance. A guy was breaking his nose on trash cans. It's all right, it's expensive.

00:07:28
Speaker 6: I mean it hurts so bad, like if you know you wipe your nose like that.

00:07:33
Speaker 4: There's a thing in Kentucky, at least at least for now until they pass this built. There's like a portal where you can get insurance. They tried that. What why don't you get that? Well, I'll tell you off the air. Okay, all right, well you said.

00:07:49
Speaker 5: You know you you're depressing, and yes, what happened to the phone?

00:07:54
Speaker 6: Dropped it and it felt like this, So I can't charge it. The sim card doesn't work.

00:07:59
Speaker 4: Now it hard to work.

00:08:01
Speaker 7: Everything on this end doesn't working.

00:08:03
Speaker 4: On the bottom of the phone. Doesn't time for.

00:08:05
Speaker 3: You to get an iPhone and we can all be blue in the group test.

00:08:08
Speaker 4: So exactly, let's get an iPhone.

00:08:09
Speaker 6: I've already I got a exchange program. I got a new Android coming to day.

00:08:16
Speaker 4: Can I ask you a question? Are you getting one like older one?

00:08:21
Speaker 9: Like?

00:08:21
Speaker 4: Are you getting one that's even older than when you have because it's cheaper.

00:08:24
Speaker 6: It's it's the same, it's a it's a the warranty program I had.

00:08:28
Speaker 7: It's the exact same phone, old Android.

00:08:31
Speaker 3: All right, he's spending more on.

00:08:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, first of all, what are you doing my warranty programs? You know that all warranty programs with electronics are a scam. Well maybe not for you because you can't because you break them. Moment. Actually, I just spoke. It's the insurance on the phone. Yeah, the warranties getting then you know you don't buy insurance. I'd do for all my phone, of course, the boys phones, my phone. You get a case.

00:08:56
Speaker 7: I had a case and it broke and I hardn't replaced it.

00:08:59
Speaker 3: His phone's in sugar than he is.

00:09:00
Speaker 7: I've dropped so many time of the case on the case broke.

00:09:03
Speaker 5: When you said Ryan House your Memorial Day weekend, I did not expect to peel back all the layers of this onion.

00:09:08
Speaker 4: This is. It was awful and I you know we.

00:09:12
Speaker 3: Love yeah, of course, but he is pitiful like he is.

00:09:16
Speaker 4: He is absolutely pitiful on like all levels. If a disaster can strike, you know what he needs. He needs serve pro just for like yeah, just like a person who comes around and make sure he can like contribute to society without causing a disaster.

00:09:34
Speaker 2: He's like rkle Like everything he touches brakes or he like falls apart.

00:09:38
Speaker 4: And all right, so there's your two weekends. Well you was ready to have the weekend of Matt Yeah, okay, like as the as the British leisure like just gonna be completely everything's great. So comes here in town for the weekend series. I thought, you know, if I want to, I could go to all these. Sure I go to all three of 'em. It'll be fun. Went Friday night. Never been that mad at a non UK game in anything in my life, even the Bears when the kicker Cairo Santos missed that field goal, and the playoffs, not as mad as I was Friday night. Because you know how you can see disaster coming, right, you can see it and you know it's coming, and you want to tell everyone to stop, but you can't. That was me six two reds going into the seventh inning. It's an important game. We're playing the team that leads a division, right, we're trying to catch them. We're up sixty two, and they bring in Shannon stupid Ian Jabou and I knew I saw. First of all, he's like number fifty seven. Never put in somebody that's number fifty seven. Name me a great fifty seven in sports history. I didn't even know they could make a fifty seven. They don't even have fifty seven. No one even contemplates a fifty seven. And he comes in. Remember he was the guy that blew Opening Day. Oh it was the same guy, the same guy, and I knew when he walked on the field we're losing this game. And then and then he allows a hit. Then there is a little like McClane gets the ball hit right to him. All he has to do is tag the guy. He gets a double play. He goes to tag Shannon misses him. He's running right in front. He misses him. With you beab the ones he can't get him, misses him. Then they hit like the worst little Blue three guys. It falls right between them, and then it's on. They go from six to two Shannon to thirteen to six, and they should have been out of the inning. We beat man with Queen Johns had been able to reach the had been able to reach the guy. I got up, so six to four. And then you know, medicine Crow Armstrong or whatever the guy's name is on on the he killed us the whole series. What's his name, Jace Crowe Armstrong.

00:12:21
Speaker 7: I like medicine old.

00:12:23
Speaker 4: Man, medicine Crow. He hits a grand Salmon. The moment he hits a grand I just get up and I'm like, forget it. I'm not doing this. This is like this is supposed to be the weekend of mad and then I didn't even watch the other two games. We won one of them, we lost the other one, but I was like, I'm taking a break. You all have frustrated me.

00:12:39
Speaker 8: Now.

00:12:39
Speaker 4: I watched yesterday they beat Kansas City, but I was so mad in Jeebou. I would trade in Jebau for an android. He's the worst. He's the worst. He's become my second least favorite Red besides Jumbo Diaz of all time. And I knew Drew when they put him in, and it wasn't even really his fault, but I knew he's just got such bad energy.

00:13:03
Speaker 5: I'm gonna pat myself on the back last week when I said, when we get back from the three day weekend, Matt's gonna have a red S meltdown right on queue.

00:13:11
Speaker 9: In.

00:13:12
Speaker 4: It was such a bad loss. I texted you Friday nights and was horrible. I was literally sitting in my car leaving when you texted me. You go, this is a horrible loss, and I'm like, you think so, I'm trying to get out of track. Can you leave me alone?

00:13:24
Speaker 2: And you only got four more months of this? Just think four more months you're wearing your red Jersey today. You look like you're about to play and suit up for the Reds.

00:13:32
Speaker 4: This is quiet and shirt though it is a nice shirt. But yeah, so anyway, I was very frustrated, and I thought I had the worst week end of the group. And then I didn't realize Sammy broke his nose over here on a trash can was gonna be in as well.

00:13:47
Speaker 7: And broke my phone the next day.

00:13:49
Speaker 4: It's now sad, he said, and the blazeaid, just blood all over the street. Do something about your inshurts, because you're gonna end up. This is not the first injury to come. There are no there are hips to break in your near future. We need to get you some insurance.

00:14:04
Speaker 7: I agree.

00:14:05
Speaker 4: If you're an insurance agent that will not rip him off, maybe reach out.

00:14:11
Speaker 5: Did you have the same insurance policy when you let cash Daniel put you through a table? Because I'm wondering about some decision making.

00:14:16
Speaker 7: Yeah, maybe that's it.

00:14:18
Speaker 4: Gosh, just get some good insurance.

00:14:20
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was this cheap insurance they were offering to realtors. You know, we have to get our own insurance.

00:14:24
Speaker 4: So I took it.

00:14:26
Speaker 7: Didn't really read the find.

00:14:28
Speaker 4: There you go, didn't really read what I was doing A five nine, two eight, twenty two eighty seven. We will take a break, little Kentucky News. We are a day away from the O Way decision. What's gonna happen? Be right back, Welcome back, Tucky Sports Radio. You know I was giving you a hard time, but to be fair, your example about health insurance is really one of the problems with our healthcare system right now, because you make too much money to get in the Obamacare stuff, right, but you really don't make enough money to where you don't have to worry about costs. Yes, and that middle ground is where a lot of Americans are that get screwed about a lot of things. Yep. I mean not just healthcare. Like there's an amount of money that's really not enough money to live comfortably, but also not enough, not too little money or excuse me, too much money to get some of the stuff that we need, and that that stinks. So I hate that for you. At the same time, you need to not bang your head into.

00:15:29
Speaker 7: Trash can face plant into a herby.

00:15:31
Speaker 4: So there's a little bit of that. One person writes, I like on the text machine. I like listening to Ryan because he makes me feel better. About my life. Well that's nice. It's that you're playing kind of harsh to say to him.

00:15:42
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean you came in thing or you're complaining about the reds And here he is with a broken nose.

00:15:45
Speaker 4: And a brokes all said about Ian Jabou And then I got mister phone nose break over here.

00:15:51
Speaker 7: But I get a brand new Android later today.

00:15:53
Speaker 4: Yeah that still will have green tex sh and we'll still ruin our group chat. And uh and already.

00:15:59
Speaker 3: You're getting the exact same phone you could have upgraded, right.

00:16:02
Speaker 4: Why didn't you just go ing up lots more money? Exactly? All right, so h one person writes, Matt, you were once again wrong. In Jebo's number is not fifty seven, it's seventy nine. Even worse, seventy nine. Seventy nine. He's an offensive lineman and by the way, he's built like an offensive lineman in the MAC. That's what he's bullying. Yeah, big dude, he's he's got a belly, he's French. French.

00:16:28
Speaker 5: How many French baseball players? This was a patriotic weekend. Why is he in the game anyway?

00:16:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, before we go the phones, Jordan, why did you guy, I was gonna lead off with you O take away. Yeah, we got a lot of guys who today and yesterday announced they were they're they're leaving or coming back. Excuse me. PJ. Haggerty, the number leading scorer, says he's coming back to college. He's going to Kansas State. Houston's guard, the point guard. He's coming back. So some big guys made their decision. I haven't heard anything from Oway concerned it all. He's got till tomorrow at midnight.

00:17:06
Speaker 5: Not really, and if I were him, you know, I wouldn't wait till midnight, but you might as well see the whole process through. I don't know if he has anything scheduled in the last twenty four hours, but other than just trying to put the fan base at ease, there's really nothing to come back to in Lexington right now. I mean, Pope was in DC yesterday. There's nothing going on for the basketball team. I'm gonna find out the Knicks forty well, if you could get one more workout in or one more part of the process, I don't know. Their schedule is probably nothing at this hour, but I would take it to the very last minute, just for the experience. But I still haven't seen any real Maybe one mock draft has him at like number fifty nine or something. I haven't seen anything that says suggests he'll be the where he wants to be in the draft.

00:17:42
Speaker 4: So I'm not too worried. Worried at all.

00:17:44
Speaker 7: No, not really shading you are.

00:17:46
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, neither. I think he comes back.

00:17:49
Speaker 6: I saw the other you know what, Carter Knox announced he's going back to Arkansas. Hubbard's going back Missippi State, so he's sec guards. It's all starting to happen. I expect to hear it from ohway, maybe by the end of the day, that he's going to come back to cont Wait a minute, No, that's just my total feeling. I have no inside knowledge.

00:18:04
Speaker 4: It seems like you're on You've had a tough run on the scoop. Yeah, I'm just saying I wouldn't It wouldn't surprise me if he just like this isn't no, not at all. Billy came in here, Shannon and goes, let me see your nose and see Ryan go see it straight.

00:18:20
Speaker 3: And Billy goes, let's get a ruler out and make sure it's straight.

00:18:25
Speaker 5: It does have a little cutover on the side. I can see it got you.

00:18:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do feel bad for you. It feels like it was at a friend in high school named DJ who it felt like everything bad always happened to I kind of feel like you. You've had a run of this. Yeah, I mean your house caught on fire for crying fire. You know, you've had a run of this. We need to snap you out of it, you know. I don't know how we do that.

00:18:51
Speaker 7: Maybe we need to go back to that place in Denver and reverse the curse. The lemon like part of.

00:18:56
Speaker 4: The problem is you say things like instead of reverse re averse.

00:19:00
Speaker 7: Well, that's a special kind of reverse.

00:19:02
Speaker 5: And when we went there, we bought stage to burn and you dropped it in water.

00:19:05
Speaker 4: Yeah that's true. Twenty eighty seven. A couple of the lines given shollers go to camera, go ahead.

00:19:11
Speaker 9: Camera, All right, guys, first time, long time? Who I was? I was actually just calling. I got an employee that has listened to your ALS radio show for about five years, hasn't missed the day of it, and uh today I hadn't heard from him. So I was actually calling because I know he's listening. I was gonna call him to him to get into work. And he knows who he is Landing land.

00:19:35
Speaker 4: And he knows who he is land He knows you Landon Landing. Why why do you think Landing is not at work?

00:19:45
Speaker 9: Man? I anything, any reason could be the reason he hadn't called in once.

00:19:51
Speaker 4: All right, So tell land And why he needs to show up to work here at ten twenty six.

00:19:57
Speaker 9: Well, we got some wires that need told and he ain't here to pull them.

00:20:01
Speaker 4: They got wires and he pulled and Landon is not there to to pull them. Can you give me You don't have to give me the town. If you don't, what can you give me a part of the state where Landon needs to be pulling the wires?

00:20:14
Speaker 9: Uh, he needs to be in Lexington. I'm sure he's in Babyville right now.

00:20:19
Speaker 4: Okay, And that feels like there's probably a woman in baby Is there a woman in Babyville?

00:20:26
Speaker 9: Yeah?

00:20:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's those woolyworm women you got. You gotta be careful with the woolyworm women. You gotta watch. All right. I appreciate to call cam Landing. You need to leave the wooly worm come pull your wires that you need to be pulling in Lexington. That was a festival. We were talking about festivals. We got the festival. That's a that's a whole big thing. There was a girl when I went to Trancy who was very pretty and she had she was very meager like. She didn't not Meager's not the word that meek. She didn't like talk a lot. She was very pretty and she had a big accent, and she would talk about the Wooly Worm Festival and when she said it, she kind of made the guy's melt. And I've always associated her with the Wooly Worm Festival. So I feel like I can understand why Landon might have stayed.

00:21:17
Speaker 7: Maybe it's her.

00:21:20
Speaker 5: H Imagine you're Landing, You're living your best life. Just turn on your favorite radio show and you're getting called out by your boss for not being there to pull wires. That's gotta be a shocking thing to hear on them.

00:21:28
Speaker 4: You gotta gets well. Do you think if otag Away were to decide to go to the draft, which I don't think he's going to, I assume you Mark Pope probably has in his mind a backup. Would you agree with that?

00:21:42
Speaker 5: I would think so, And he also would have a lot of money to go get one. Yes, but just the way he's been talking, the way that Oway is not really projected anywhere. I mean, I don't want to KSR curse anything or get a guarantee wrong, but I just can't imagine he would take any other option but the money on the table and the opportunity of Kentucky next year.

00:22:00
Speaker 6: You know, Mark Pope told you he wouldn't do an interview until his roster was finalized.

00:22:03
Speaker 7: Tells me that's true.

00:22:04
Speaker 4: That's he said. That's exactly what they said to me, and then he did the interview.

00:22:08
Speaker 7: Yep.

00:22:08
Speaker 4: So yeah, I would think. So it's interesting that PJ. Haggerty, dude from Memphis. There are reports he got a million less dollars. He waited so long, really that team spent more money on other things, and he basically had to take a million less dollars. He was going to be the highest paid player in college basketball and maybe now he won't.

00:22:27
Speaker 5: And he ends up at Kansas State where they spent a bunch of money last year and it didn't work out.

00:22:30
Speaker 4: I want to go to Kansas State. I don't get it.

00:22:33
Speaker 5: I don't know that they loaded up a year ago and didn't do anything with him still there. No, he's uh, he's a Virginia cavalier. Now, I think who goes in Virginia?

00:22:41
Speaker 4: I think so I didn't. I'll double check that, but I think who goes over Virginia? Boy, I don't see him in that system, do you know? Wow? All right? Eight five nine, twenty two eighty seven. We will take a break. Beer it backs KSR. TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay.

00:22:58
Speaker 2: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage.

00:23:01
Speaker 3: Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:03
Speaker 4: Oh oh, by the way, that's gonna sound really weird on the podcast. On the regular show. That sounds perfectly normal. But me doing that on the podcast, and you gotta remind me of that before I just moaned. That's my favorite of the microphone.

00:23:23
Speaker 2: You're just yelling and singing falsetto at a random songs that nobody else.

00:23:27
Speaker 4: All right, all right, folks. With basketball season over now, it's a perfect time to tackle that remodel you've been putting off. Friends. At State Renovations, they do kitchens, bass basements, and even decks. They offer guaranteed pricing. No surprise, coach costs, no nickeling diming along the way. The State renovations is professional and BBN approved. Check them out State renos dot com. That's a State R E n O S dot com And if you mentioned ks R for June first, you'll get half off your design agreement. That's by this week. State renos dot Com Person Rights Matt. I love Ryan Lemon. I just want to give him a hug. Tell him if it were if if I were there, I would hug him. That's very nice. I appreciate that.

00:24:09
Speaker 6: But that song is our Lemon Life theme song. I believe because man, if it's if Lemon luck, if it's bad, it's gonna happen to us.

00:24:15
Speaker 4: There's no doubt. People are making comments about what Landon's doing at the Wooly Worm Festival. I can't read these on the here folks. I understand. I mean there's I mean I like the double on Tundras, but driven I can't. I can't say those love here.

00:24:31
Speaker 1: Uh.

00:24:32
Speaker 4: UK baseball makes the NCAA tournament, all right, Hey didn't look like they were going to. It was bad weekend for him because all the bubble teams, like a lot of the teams that were guaranteed in lost in their conference tournaments, so there were a lot of stolen bids. Western Kentucky stole one, cal poly Store stole one. Nebraska won the Big Ten tournament, so it wasn't clear they were going to be in. As a matter of fact, than the final D one Baseball mock bracket, Kentucky was the first team out. But then not only they make it, the NCAA committee says they weren't even one of the last four inns, so they were actually a lot more in than we real Yes, so they go to Clempson. They're in a region with West Virginia, Clempson and U see us, excuse me, South Carolina, upstate West Virginia they played last year in the tournament. You know they're in a region where they have a fighting chance.

00:25:21
Speaker 6: You know that this really may be Minjeon's best coaching job. Even though they went to the World Series last year, they lost everybody off that team. They had like what one starter bos They had one starter, Devin Burke was their only starter back, lost all their weekend pitching staff, and yet he rallied the team got him to where they were making a getting the MTA tournament and they have, so this really may go down.

00:25:42
Speaker 4: It's his best coaching jobs that he's been here.

00:25:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't feel great watching the selection show live because the team cal Polly got a three seed. I think Miami jumped in and stole someone spot. About halfway through, we're kind of throwing our arms in their like this isn't gonna end well for us. Then they get in and I to draw looking up those teams. They're kind of limping in. You avoided a lot of big names, and just that stat of Kentucky leading and twenty eight of thirty one SEC games gives me hope they can compete with anyone if they can just finish the job. The bull hen has to get bullpen has to get it figured out moving on. But they can play some good baseball and I like that spot. You don't have to travel far. Oregon was projected on Sunday before it all got shuffled around, so might get some fans there.

00:26:24
Speaker 4: So they play. They play Friday at noon against West Virginia and then if they win, they would play Saturday, probably evening against against Clemson. But they got a shot.

00:26:38
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, they've played against some of the best teams in the country, which happened to be SEC teams. They did fairly well going ahead to head against the top level teams in the conference. Why can't they go down there and win this thing?

00:26:47
Speaker 4: Why not us? Right?

00:26:48
Speaker 5: And just I don't know what men Jones has to do to hit the reset, but that Vandy series and then leaving six or seven people on base and Hoover put that all behind you because they finished the Strong this season very poorly.

00:26:59
Speaker 4: Forget about that.

00:27:00
Speaker 5: Move on, because they are capable of playing really good baseball.

00:27:02
Speaker 4: Yeah they are, and they got it, so they got a shot. We were gonna go. And then I rouse the KSR Golf Scramble is Friday, which makes it to where it's gonna be unlikely for us to do it, but I will be pulling for him. I looked up they have the top one hundred and fifty players in the country and only one person in this region is in them. So, like the talent levels are, Clemson has an outfielder that's projected to go in the first round. His name is Cam We shouldn't throw to him. But besides that, let's go, let's go win, and let's steal more from West Virginia. It feels like we've been taking We took their players both football and Basketball's true, and we beat them last year in the tournament. Let's just keep piling on West Virginia.

00:27:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I checked. Our friends of DraftKings were plus three hundred to win the regional. I might dabble on that a little bit, make a little three to one odds on that things fail off.

00:27:52
Speaker 4: It feels like plausible. Right, Yeah, it's not too bad. I like it. I like said I like to draw. I like the spot eight nine two eight zero twenty two eighty seven. Congrat that's minion though, Yes, because I mean even minji On himself told me I don't know about this year, and now they were able to take that first time she hadning in school history. They've made three straight NCAA tournaments. Pretty amazing stat.

00:28:14
Speaker 2: Yup, he lost a lot from last year. He was able to rebuild and put together a team to make the tournament. So I think they can make some noise in that region.

00:28:21
Speaker 4: And they got a lot of guys. I think it will be back next year, so hopefully they will have some continuity to going forward.

00:28:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, because he had to start with basically nothing Devin Burke and go from there this year.

00:28:32
Speaker 4: So congratulations Tyler. How are you? Tyler?

00:28:39
Speaker 8: Pretty good? I know her name May and Austen, but what did your future look like? Talking at Crystal Ball? Speaking of women.

00:28:49
Speaker 4: First of all, she's married, but people have enjoyed that conversation. I knew Crystal when she Crystal Ball is like, she hosts a show called Breaking Points. She does not have a brother named Basket like you said, Ryan, no cousin name foot. But yeah, I knew her when she was in Louisville. She uh, she lived in Louisville for a few years. But she's great and that Did you enjoy the interview or did you just want to like give me a hard time?

00:29:17
Speaker 8: No, man, I've a I've I've really enjoyed every episode of the podcast and the Sunday show with Myron. You everything you guys are doing for us, We really appreciate it.

00:29:26
Speaker 4: And I just wanted to call in and that's very nice. Okay, thank you, thank you very much for that. Uh let me give you quickly, guys, three things that happened uh yesterday on the on the Matt and Myron Sunday Morning Show to get your take on right. First of all, we had Jamal mcglaur on, Oh you did, very excited for you. So you know when they're playing this game this summer, Stanning guess the Wildcat and they're bringing on form like you gotta listen for this if you're at Kentucky Fan. They're just bringing on former Wildcats all summer to national ESPN Radio because they hear me talk about Kentucky so much. We had Travis Ford on the first one. They're got to make the questions harder because I guess him immediately. They're like, he was the center from ninety six, from ninety seven to two thousand. Oh, I think I got that. But what they didn't realize, Shannon, is that's like one of my two or three favorite players.

00:30:16
Speaker 2: When a player's name is part of your email address, my email.

00:30:19
Speaker 4: Address years, for many years was mcglure fifty two at hotmail dot com. When I posted on Kentucky Sports Report dot com beginning in nineteen ninety seven, two, it was mcglore fifty two.

00:30:37
Speaker 7: Wow, And yet I had.

00:30:39
Speaker 4: Never spoken to it.

00:30:40
Speaker 7: Really, i'd never talked to him.

00:30:43
Speaker 4: And he doesn't sound like you think you like you probably remember, yes, But in your mind, Shannon Drew, think about what you think. Jamal mcglure sounds like. He doesn't sound like that. He sounds Canadian. He does accent very Canadian as a matter of fact. And it threw me off a little bit, Drew, because I'm expecting Jamal McLure. I realized it had been so long, I didn't really know what he sounded like, and then this like e comes on and it was kind of shocking, to be honest.

00:31:15
Speaker 5: Of course, I remember Jamal McLure, loved watching him, but I don't remember hearing any interviews or press conferences or him talking at all back then, So that would throw me off too. If he just started speaking right, he is Canadian talking like Canadian.

00:31:26
Speaker 7: Didchi fanboy out a little bit for sure?

00:31:28
Speaker 4: Yeah? If you hear the intro, I'm like, we're doing Remember when I no ided I was Remember when you put Wojo in the rack? Hey, hey, do you remember when you beat the mascot up from Miami of Ohio.

00:31:44
Speaker 6: He was the enforcer that has been missing from a lot of UK team since then. He was a guy you weren't gonna come down the lane, you weren't gonna get easy, went with him back.

00:31:52
Speaker 4: There A couple of things about McLure too. People forget mcglure was the very first college athlete to have his own web page. Was he had Jamal mcglore dot com, and the NCAA initially told him to take it down. They said, we're not going to allow players to have a presence on the internet. Now think about how ridiculous that sounds today, But in like ninety eight he put up his own website and the NCAA initially tried to get it shut down. So he was a he was a trailblazer. Shandon Jamal mcglure.

00:32:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, now everybody's got a TikTok and you know profile pages on social media.

00:32:32
Speaker 4: Send Jamal mcglure some thank you.

00:32:34
Speaker 2: Did you tell him that mcglore fifty two was your persona?

00:32:38
Speaker 4: I did? I did, Okay, I couldn't. He didn't answer, so I couldn't see his face if he thought that was weird or not. But but for people who have been on the internet a long time, I mean my career was basically I posted on message boards as mcglore fifty two, and I got a little bit of a following, not much of one, but a little bit of a following, then a little bit more, and then a little bit more, and I was kind of for people in that era who are probably in their forties. You might remember mcglure fifty two, and that was kind of And that was when I went to Kentucky Sports Report and said, will you let me put this podcast up? And they said no, they said we don't want that. And so then I started Kentucky Sports Radio dot com just to have a place to put my podcast because the people at Kentucky Sports Report would not allow me to even post a free one. So if they had just said yes, you all probably wouldn't have to deal with me because I would have just been a lawyer. But I was so stubborn because everybody said no, yeah, that you ended up with this? Did you try posting it to jamalmiglore dot com?

00:33:47
Speaker 5: Oh, he would have let me. What did he have on that site? Did he TikTok dance and just upload the video to everybody else?

00:33:53
Speaker 4: Will remember? I don't remember, but I remember it was like a thing Jamal mcglure dot com.

00:33:58
Speaker 5: Also, you're fifty two? Wasn't he number forty two? How did you come up with the high school number? Was fifty two, so I could bumb the best of mcglor best of me. Is he still talking about Jersey numbers? Not a lot of fifty two? Two is a big number?

00:34:14
Speaker 4: Is he still coaching with the here the Raptors Community Liaison in Toronto? Remember he was an NBA All Star One year he was and he almost won the MVA. People forget McLure was in the NBA All Star Guy. He led the East in scoring for the game and the West won at the end. But if the East had won, He's MVP. Jamal mcglure might have been the All Star MVP. We'll take a break, be right back. It's gonna take you sports radio. Welcome back. Tell you sports radio. If I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seven two seven four five two five four what person rights mad? I heard you with mcglore. I could see your smile the whole time. I've never heard you geek out like that since Patty Loveless. That's probably true. It was a Patty Loveless esque geek. It's our three of Matt Myern. If you downloaded online, did.

00:35:07
Speaker 7: They know your affinity for Jamal mcglaure, No, so they had no idea.

00:35:10
Speaker 4: They just booking random Kentucky people. They had no idea until I said, like they just you know, they're trying to get people who went to Kentucky. That will come on. But also we can talk about something male. So I'm not just sitting there going you remember Kentucky stand for dame like they want to make and you know, because he was in the NBA for so long and all that, they.

00:35:29
Speaker 6: You know, after his junior year he went through the process and it was a big deal.

00:35:34
Speaker 7: Was he going to come back for senior year or going in to.

00:35:36
Speaker 4: The cnbator playing the NBA for twelve years? Yeah, like people know, reals twelve years he was in the NBA. That's pretty good. You would you have imagined when he was a French of a sophomore in college that dude would have been in the NBA for twelve years old.

00:35:47
Speaker 6: And like we said, not just in the NBA. He was a force, an All Star that one season.

00:35:51
Speaker 4: He was good one person rights Matt. My wife and I were going to church and I got her to turn on your show and then you made her furious when you said that what you said about the Indy five hundred as an Indianapolis native. She made me turn it off. I did make a comment that made some waves. What was it? I said, the Indy five hundred, Shannon was like the Kentucky Derby for people who don't shower.

00:36:18
Speaker 3: I can get behind that. I like that comment, and it did.

00:36:22
Speaker 4: The phone lines lit up with people from from Indiana, including people at the race that were not happy. Man, Yeah, but I stand by the Derby is classy. Five hundred is trashy exactly, That's exactly right. The Indy five hundred is like, you know, you're smelling exhaust fumes. How you can't be that nice when you're smelling exhaust fumes the whole time?

00:36:46
Speaker 6: Twice as many people, right, three hundred thousand. It's not a competition.

00:36:50
Speaker 4: As to who it's. The question is what is that? What is a more? But you have seen what goes on in the infield to Derby, but it's gotten a little class Here was on the infield at the Derby is Millionaire's row at.

00:37:06
Speaker 7: I'm just saying Dave Letterman's usually always there.

00:37:08
Speaker 4: So they were very mad at me, but I just doubled down on it, and then I kept my line about Indianapolis as the Applebee's of cities. You know, you wage war.

00:37:18
Speaker 8: Wow.

00:37:19
Speaker 4: I do think Indianapolis outside of when they have a big event is like it's just a strip mall. It's one big strip mall, and then five hundred. While it's enjoyable, is also just one big strip mall in some ways.

00:37:31
Speaker 6: I'm from Indiana, grew up watching it. I went one time and said, I will never come back to this event.

00:37:36
Speaker 3: We were just there in March. Was much to write home about.

00:37:40
Speaker 4: No, I mean, it was fun. It was fun. The tin roof was fun. But it's okay to do something else. Jordan, go ahead, Jordan.

00:37:47
Speaker 10: Hey, so I was gonna ask you a question. I actually have a couple of questions. The first thing, though, is I'm gonna be in loyal actually this week. And I know that Drew doesn't want to golf and I don't know about you guys. So what is a good golf course there that I could go to? Is my first question.

00:38:06
Speaker 4: We've got more golf course questions than we've uh than we've ever gotten. Well, I thought pursuing Bridge Wash was public, but it's not. I don't know. Like the problem is that.

00:38:17
Speaker 10: Every time I booked a covered bridge.

00:38:21
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's nice. That's fine. No, actually, covered bridge is really nice. But that's in southern Indiana. Yeah, yeah, that's that's uh, that's a really nice course you could. That's a good that's a good call. And then what's the one, what's the other one over there in southern Indiana? The one you and I've played what was the name of that one in southern Indiana.

00:38:38
Speaker 5: I've played golf with you in southern Indiana.

00:38:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, we played it at a resort one time. I don't think that was me, Okay, well, it was just it was a it was someone that made me think of you. Uh, but yeah, covered bridge is a good call. The problem is all the courses in Louisville they're either run by the city. Uh, and there is there's one run by the city though. That's the name of a person that's pretty good. What's that whichever one if you look at Louisville city courses, is the Charlie? That's it.

00:39:05
Speaker 5: I pulled up a list. I don't recognize a lot of these, but that's a name.

00:39:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, the one that's a name. That one, that one's pretty good too. So enjoy yourself.

00:39:12
Speaker 6: Good luck, you covered Bridge the Fuzzy Zeller course.

00:39:15
Speaker 7: Yes, we did a show out there way back in the day.

00:39:18
Speaker 4: Well, that's right. For the uh it was the Epilepsy Scrapes. It was wow. Yep, we sure did well. That is a time Yeah, that was a long time ago for the for the Epilepsy Scramble. Yeah eight nine two oh uh twenty eighty seven. A couple open lines I have. I have some recommendations for you of things to pass your okay, And these are recommendations that I think every single person you know, sometimes I'm like, this may not be your thing, Like the book all fours, don't keep bringing that up. I told you not to read in Shannon unless you were a certain kind of person, you know, James and Martyr, Yes, all for that was that was not for everybody? Are these three for everybody? Book? I'm reading and I almost finished, they got like twenty pages left. The Pete Rose Charlie Hustin, Oh yeah, everyone would like it. Whether you like Pete Rose, whether you hate Pete Rose, whether you like baseball or don't like baseball. It is a great book. I have learned more about him than I knew before, including some things that are bad about him that I didn't even know it happened. Uh, But it's also just a story of a person who was kind of a normal, troubled person who all of a sudden gets thrust into national spot like and I also don't really didn't realize what a national superstar he was. Like the fact that the Today Show went live from Cincinnati. They did their show in Cincinnati when it looked like he was gonna break Ty Cobbs record. Think about that. Yeah, could you see that happening for any baseball thing now? Probably not not today, not today.

00:40:53
Speaker 3: They didn't do it for Aaron Judge.

00:40:55
Speaker 4: I mean, who knew that? So that's that's one second thing. I think everyone outside of like college kids and younger would like the show four seasons on Netflix with Tina Fay and Steve Carrell. Have you seen I've been watching them. I think I've seen three or four of them. Not the best, but I do think it's a good time pass or you could watch it and it gets better as it goes.

00:41:15
Speaker 5: Short episodes too short episodes first episode me, but as you keep going it gets better, and then I think the last few are actually really good.

00:41:23
Speaker 4: I think Ryan, you would really like it. It's about fifty something couples. It's like, you're perfect, it's you would really enjoy it. And then again it's not great, but I think everyone could enjoy the show with John hamm breaking into people's house. I watched four of those last night. It's pretty good. Friend. It's John ham You know, he's like again in his fifties, middle aged, handsome, and now he's like he's breaking into people's yes, because he he lost his job and he doesn't know what to do, and so he just takes all his rich friends and then he breaks into their houses.

00:41:59
Speaker 7: I watched a little TV this weekend.

00:42:01
Speaker 4: Okay, but before you get to your awful TV, those are three good recommendation Charlie Hustle, four seasons and Friends and Neighbors. I can give those all a stap of approval. Now go ahead, pee wee Herman. It's a good good, it's really good. You liked it yes on HBO? Yes? And what made it good? He's awesome. I'm sol I'm in. Well, there you go.
