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 contact 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 scot To the 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 our two of Kentucky Sports Radio, present it by a Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

00:01:09
Speaker 3: Welcome back ever number two Tucky Sports Radio eight from nine two twenty two eighty seven. We can't spend this whole show just being frustrated. By the way, Kaspar, my trivia is tomorrow night. You got your team ready, I'm got half of them ready. I'll load up the rest of my dream team. By the end of the day, you were one spot away from making it all. We were right there, so you're very close.

00:01:29
Speaker 4: You could make it this time.

00:01:31
Speaker 1: Can you help me cheat a little bit?

00:01:33
Speaker 3: No, but I'm working on the questions today and I'm gonna make it extra special. Okay, And I may even have one question that if you have paid attention to the shows you would get correctly, which means you're not gonna get it correct even though you're on it.

00:01:47
Speaker 5: Uh.

00:01:47
Speaker 3: Let's do one non UK basketball thing just to try to like the mood. Little Winter Olympics. Canada is playing the Chechia. By the way, they don't call it the Czech Republic anymore. Czech Republic. Did you know that it's hard to keep up with what to call check the check area used to be you called it Czechoslovakia. Then they are like, no, not doing it anymore. Then it was Czech Republic. It's not that anymore. Now it's Chechee, chech Nia, Chechnia or Chechia.

00:02:13
Speaker 4: Either way, it's an EA.

00:02:15
Speaker 3: So just so you know, because I called it the Czech Republic and somebody was like, Nope, not that.

00:02:19
Speaker 1: Anymore, didn't know that.

00:02:20
Speaker 4: It's hard to keep up with it, all right.

00:02:22
Speaker 3: So I got asked a question which I think is good for the group outside of curling. Okay, because that's the obvious answer to this question, take curling out. Which winter Olympic sport do you think, if you trained you could get the best at?

00:02:40
Speaker 4: All?

00:02:40
Speaker 3: Right, So which winter Olympic sport if you trained for like a year, do you think you could get the best at? Not Olympic level, Yeah, but good enough, Shannon, you go first.

00:02:52
Speaker 2: The team Bob's luoting. I feel like once you get in there, you just kind of lay there and enjoy the ride. I know you have to shift your weight around a little bit, but I feel like I could do that.

00:03:00
Speaker 3: So I ran, by the way on the Bob slid. If you want to do the team bob slid, the place you need to be is third in the in the because the first person drives, the back person has to shift to be able to like handle the corners. The second person has to hold the driver and keep them in place. The third person is just along.

00:03:22
Speaker 4: For the ride. Well, there you go.

00:03:23
Speaker 3: You remember herschel Walker was the third person at one point, so you can learn to just That's the I think this is the correct answer unless someone gives me a better one. Third person in the bob slid. You just got to learn to run quick enough and jump in there so that they don't leave you.

00:03:40
Speaker 4: That's where I was leaning. I can't. I can't skate, so throw all those out to skate.

00:03:46
Speaker 1: You're to train for it?

00:03:48
Speaker 4: Well, I mean I.

00:03:48
Speaker 6: Could, but compared to just sitting in a bob sled, I gotta lean bob sled since I've never even attempted to skate.

00:03:53
Speaker 4: I have for Hakentucky. You didn't go well, never skied, So you think you could lose.

00:03:59
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would have to be a lose or a bob slid or something where I'm just holding on for dear life.

00:04:04
Speaker 4: Would you do you.

00:04:05
Speaker 3: Think you have the courage to lose your skelet No, I would do any of the I hop in the box, do a skeleton with your head first.

00:04:12
Speaker 4: Not me.

00:04:13
Speaker 3: I don't think I would do that feet first. I'm not going hit.

00:04:18
Speaker 4: I'll do anything.

00:04:18
Speaker 6: Like we were talking about people trying to bob slid. If there's a pro in the bob slid with me, sure to throw me in there.

00:04:23
Speaker 4: Me just doing it.

00:04:24
Speaker 6: No, that's how someone dies. But I would do any of these events sitting with like a team where someone knows what's going on.

00:04:30
Speaker 3: There are a couple of sports that'd be interested. How they decided to do them, like skeleton. You know, they were always doing the loge, and to me, the luge always seemed crazy dangerous. What made them decide, how about we go head first?

00:04:44
Speaker 1: Here's a crazy fool that decided that, how.

00:04:46
Speaker 4: About instead of feet first, let's just go head first.

00:04:49
Speaker 2: Well they were saying, you could tell all the athletes that are do the skeleton because they have like a scar on their chin from hitting the ice. Oh really, yeah, so I guess every skeleton athlete has that scar.

00:05:00
Speaker 3: But I just wonder, literally the thought process of this is not crazy enough all right, I have, in my opinion, the sport that I understand how it happened, the least two man luge.

00:05:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, lay on top of me.

00:05:14
Speaker 4: But what was this again? What was the scenario where they were like, lay on top of me.

00:05:20
Speaker 6: You've never been out sled with the boys, had a few beers, and you just all band together and make one big team.

00:05:25
Speaker 1: I mean it started in the Olympics. That's how it started, the Olympic village.

00:05:30
Speaker 3: Let's get okay. So my question is who's driving? Is it the guy on the bottom or the top?

00:05:37
Speaker 4: Oh? Boy, well the bottom. I don't know.

00:05:43
Speaker 3: If you've seen it, it's quite a look. First of all, I would think to do two man luge, you gotta be.

00:05:49
Speaker 4: Friends with that person.

00:05:52
Speaker 1: More than friends.

00:05:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, But you like, there are certain sports like you know how we talked about how Mike and Mike didn't like each other and did a radio show.

00:05:59
Speaker 4: I think you have to like the guy laying on top.

00:06:02
Speaker 2: I like to see Mike and Mike going on to lose together.

00:06:05
Speaker 3: If you don't like him on top, Yeah, and you have to go down all the way.

00:06:09
Speaker 4: That's gonna be f.

00:06:10
Speaker 6: It's one of the only two man sports where you literally have to spoon, like you all have to cuddle a little bit to be good at it.

00:06:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean like Ryan and I we get along very well, but I wouldn't want to cuddle with him every night.

00:06:24
Speaker 4: What if you a segment just laying side by side here right now?

00:06:27
Speaker 3: So then the guy on the bottom, he's holding onto the thing, he's got to be the driver, right, presumable, So what's.

00:06:34
Speaker 4: The guy on top doing? Left? Right? Left?

00:06:37
Speaker 3: And that's what you're laughing? But is that what he's doing? And like, all right, make a left up here, all right and see him? And then because the guy on the bottom can't see Shita laying.

00:06:50
Speaker 1: On top of hed in the way.

00:06:52
Speaker 4: And then maybe he maybe I could see if you get off of me.

00:06:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe the top uses his feet like he uses his toes to break or the like aerodynamic point which way they want to go.

00:07:02
Speaker 4: Maybe, but it's got to be way too loud to communicate.

00:07:06
Speaker 2: They just unnecessary this whole that's really extremely unnecessary.

00:07:10
Speaker 3: It's like if they just started the downhill skiing and going all right, but now you got somebody on your back.

00:07:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's just do like the triple lose like three people.

00:07:20
Speaker 4: Let's just put it down our backs and see what happens.

00:07:24
Speaker 3: I feel like what has happened is there weren't enough Winter Olympic sports, so they just started adding things, like they've started adding mixed relays. I mean, that's fine, but you don't see that in the Summer Olympics.

00:07:36
Speaker 4: They don't that.

00:07:37
Speaker 3: We don't hand them like they don't hand in the one hundred. Okay, now hand to a woman. Now hand it to a child, Now hand it to a grandma. Like it's like everybody. But but they keep adding these sports. But I don't understand how the two man losee began.

00:07:52
Speaker 4: Well, you say they're out of sports.

00:07:53
Speaker 6: I would think they were out of Lousis and had too many people and just had a buddy system.

00:07:58
Speaker 4: Just get on top of it. I we'll figure this out.

00:08:00
Speaker 3: But drives because I don't understand what the guy on top is doing except being in.

00:08:06
Speaker 6: The way telling him where to get. Well, you're right, probably can't commute. It might just be like a hip thrust, like I'm I'm kind of nudging us right.

00:08:13
Speaker 3: Hey, how cool would it be if everybody, Hey, buddy, you're gonna take a ride right here.

00:08:19
Speaker 6: I've got the best Olympic sport. How about you take that? But every round you had another person. Oh my, so it gets to like six or seven Russians just on top.

00:08:27
Speaker 4: Of each other. I would watch it. Every round you add another loose, you get you get to take some seconds off per person.

00:08:36
Speaker 1: I love it.

00:08:37
Speaker 3: I like the idea that you just keep adding people. Well, I I maybe that now this show has a long reach. There might be a two man loser listening shick.

00:08:47
Speaker 2: There could be.

00:08:48
Speaker 3: I would be fascinated with how the two man lose began. What happens if you get into it and let's say you are the best two man lose team and you just.

00:08:58
Speaker 4: Decide you hate the guy.

00:09:00
Speaker 2: Still gotta keep doing it.

00:09:02
Speaker 3: You gotta just keep keep doing it. So I'm I'm a big fan the Winter Olympics. I have found very entertaining. They always sneak up on me every four years and I don't realize they're happening, and then when they do, I find joy. We got the story of the guy who told his girlfriend he had cheated Audie. We got we got the proposal quad God with maybe the biggest choking our our our female gold metal contender, she kind of choked too.

00:09:29
Speaker 4: Did you see the snowboarder or the figure the figure skater, she choked.

00:09:34
Speaker 3: She tried to do a triple axle and she did and she only did a double, so she got zero points. And uh they said she would have got more points if she fell down, but she didn't even try.

00:09:44
Speaker 4: And uh, now she's she's out of it too. She just finished and.

00:09:48
Speaker 6: Just started crying, which is sad, you know, but it's kind of been a sad run. I mean, the French cheated our our married couple from Wisconsin. Roaway's gonna win the medals.

00:09:57
Speaker 1: They're way ahead, aren't they.

00:09:58
Speaker 4: They're way ahead.

00:09:58
Speaker 3: Norway is gonna win the goat, which makes sense because it's Norway and they're in snow more, but they're gonna They're gonna win.

00:10:03
Speaker 4: The gold Mas.

00:10:04
Speaker 1: When is the women's USA Hockey gold match against Canada?

00:10:07
Speaker 4: Is it today?

00:10:08
Speaker 1: I thought it might be today.

00:10:09
Speaker 3: I think it's maybe today or tomorrow. But Canada is losing right now to the uh to Checchia. So he if I'm nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven, who's up next? Joseph, Joseph, go ahead, Joseph.

00:10:23
Speaker 5: Hey mat i thought maybe this team maybe had turned a corner, but after last night, it looks like, uh, we'll go into the season with that. Winning the conference. Would have been nice to have the Florida Missouri win, Yeah, except their time, and I think last night all the chances are now.

00:10:41
Speaker 4: Gone for for what the double buy or.

00:10:47
Speaker 5: No to win the regular season.

00:10:49
Speaker 4: Oh well, we've definitely lost the regular season.

00:10:51
Speaker 3: Yeah we if we even if we had it, we're three games back of Florida, even if we had a small chance. It went away yesterday. So no, we're not gonna win the regular season. Like I said, I mean, you got to look at the at the schedule, at the schedule and the standings we're I think right now our big thing is can we get a double by.

00:11:10
Speaker 4: In the SEC tournament. I mean we we're.

00:11:12
Speaker 3: Probably on a path to play Florida on Friday in the SEC Tournament. I mean we may have two more games with Florida coming up here, So you know, I don't know, it's unfortunate. There were a lot of things on the table for us and that that got hurt yesterday. I appreciate the call, and I don't mean to be a doomsdayer, but folks, there is a scenario where we don't make the NCAA tournament. It is a very plausible scenario. I mean, we're seventeen to nine. Play at Auburn, We're gonna be an underdog. Play at South Carolina, probably be a favorite, but you can lose that game, even though they stink. If you're on the road, play Vandy at home, probably gonna be an underdog. Play at a and M gonna be an underdog, and then Florida at home. We're gonna be an underdog if you were to lose all those games, which I don't think we will, but if we did, I think I don't know that we make the tournament.

00:12:08
Speaker 4: We probably don't, and.

00:12:10
Speaker 3: If we win one, we're probably in, but we're kind of on the bubble and probably need to land it win at least one game in Nashville. So, I mean, I drew the tournament was almost like a given, and I don't think it's a given yet.

00:12:27
Speaker 6: Now still need to win a couple more games, even though they're on the road. I think the next two might even be the most winnable. South Carolina they're down bad. I mean, that's a tough environment, but you cannot even though it's a road game. I feel like we have to win that one with Florida Vanderbilt, and I still think A and M is good at the end of the road. So Auburn, they're so inconsistent. I don't know what we'll get Saturday, but you gotta find a way to definitely get one of these two road games, hopefully both.

00:12:54
Speaker 1: So what do you think they finished these last five games.

00:12:57
Speaker 3: I think they'll finish two and three.

00:13:02
Speaker 4: He'll steal one.

00:13:03
Speaker 3: I mean, we'll win at South Carolina and then will I think I'm gonna just say we.

00:13:08
Speaker 4: Beat Vandy at home.

00:13:09
Speaker 3: I feel like we old and Andy, so I'm gonna say they still might finish three and two. I kind for some reason, I feel like they'll win one of at Auburn and one of at Auburn and him. I feel like they'll steal one of those, just because that's what they've been doing. I don't know which one, but I just kind of feel like they'll steal one of them.

00:13:26
Speaker 6: I worry if they do whooped at Auburn. That's three in a row and all the goodwill and confidence they had built up from that run. I don't want them to lose it because it has felt like they've turned a corner and I don't. With a couple of games left them kind of get back in a rut and lose all the momentum they had built up on that run.

00:13:42
Speaker 4: So one person says, Matt, I actually think the guy on top drives and the guy on bottom doesn't. Well, then what's he do.

00:13:53
Speaker 3: If the guy on the bottom's not driving, he's the most worthless athlete of all.

00:13:58
Speaker 1: That's the one I want the start to push off on the start.

00:14:01
Speaker 3: Well, he just has a guy laying on top of him and he's just sitting there being squashed the whole.

00:14:06
Speaker 2: Way carrying the way to the other guy.

00:14:08
Speaker 4: So so he's not if he's not doing anything. I'll let's figure out how this works.

00:14:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, here's a fascinating figure it out something.

00:14:17
Speaker 3: Actually, we'll stop, I'll do it, do a break, and then I'll take a call Cornbrat Hemp.

00:15:00
Speaker 4: Cai's card, Welcome back Tekei sports radio.

00:15:04
Speaker 3: If I'm nine two eight h twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seven two four five two five four, it's checkia, Checkia, checkia. They lead to one against Canada. That would be a huge upset if Canada were to go down. We play Sweden today. Sweden's good, so we could get If we're not careful, we could get knocked out.

00:15:21
Speaker 1: Or was this men's hockey?

00:15:22
Speaker 3: The women play for the gold. The men are in the quarterfinals and they play Sweden.

00:15:26
Speaker 4: Okay, Uh, what person rates Matt? Where was this? Oh?

00:15:32
Speaker 3: How much money do you think nil Pope will get next year to spend it's a great question. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I do you. I don't know if we will get the same amount of resources from donors, uh that we had this year.

00:15:49
Speaker 4: It's a good question.

00:15:50
Speaker 3: I think they probably get the same but uh, but but I don't know for sure.

00:15:55
Speaker 1: I could see donors like questioning, like, look, I gave a lot of money last year, and this is the product I got you guys, didn't you know, may finish with nineteen wins. I'm not giving you as much this year. I can see some donors maybe being a little reluctant.

00:16:07
Speaker 3: But the funny thing is this is the death spiral. I think it's one of the things that's interesting to watch in college sports. You can have a death spiral if you're not careful with your program, because you can end up if you spend a lot of money and don't win, the donors don't want to give you as much money to spend the next year, which makes it harder to get players, which might make your team worse. Like you could end up in spiral where you kind of go downhill, and that's that could be a problem.

00:16:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll admit I'm pretty worried about it. I've thought this since donors started paying this nil. They're not gonna do it forever. They did not get rich by just giving people money to blow. They need some return, they need some happiness. They need to see these players play well. And if you go a couple of seasons without that, I don't think these rich people would keep writing that check. I think they would be crazy to keep writing the check.

00:16:51
Speaker 4: Well, it's interesting.

00:16:52
Speaker 3: I mean, the whole economics of nil goes against what rich people do. Like, think about it for a minute. Rich people's goal is to make money, right, invest money to make it, invest money to make money. But nil, even if it works and you win, you're not making the money back.

00:17:14
Speaker 4: No, your just happiness.

00:17:16
Speaker 3: It's it's like you're giving it to a charity that doesn't really do good work. I mean, you're giving it to a charity that essentially is just to make.

00:17:26
Speaker 4: You personally happy for sports.

00:17:29
Speaker 3: So I was looking at there was an interesting thing online I saw yesterday which I could do a whole different episode of Interrupted about, but I won't right now, which was looking at the fifteen richest people in America right now and how much money they give to charity versus the fifteen richest people in the nineteen seventies and how much money they gave to charity. And basically the premise was the fifteen richest people in the nineteen seventies gave a lot of money to charity. They created charitable foundations like the Aafeller Foundation and all these things that did really good work. And if you look at the fifteen richest people today, only two of the fifteen give a lot to charity, and one of them, Bill Gates, is problematic.

00:18:12
Speaker 4: For other reasons now that really Warren Buffett.

00:18:16
Speaker 3: Is the only richest person that really gives significant amounts of charity to charity, whereas like Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, Zuckerberg gives some but not the percentage that people used to that essentially they give very little money to charity.

00:18:31
Speaker 4: And the point was kind.

00:18:32
Speaker 3: Of to say charities are like, hey, part of the deal of being so rich in America as you're gonna give stuff back, and people don't do that.

00:18:41
Speaker 4: Now, that's all a lot a thing to say.

00:18:44
Speaker 3: Giving to sports in io is almost kind of giving it to a charity in some ways because you're not getting the money back.

00:18:50
Speaker 4: Right, and you do wonder how long do these people do this? You know, and imagine your charity. In one case, you open your phone and they're throwing the money on Snapchat. Yeah, I'm being.

00:18:59
Speaker 6: Very serious about that. Is somebody's harder dollars.

00:19:02
Speaker 3: There is someone out there who gave Zach Calzada one point five million dollars and they saw him sit the bench and get on charity and say what, Garrett, Garry gets your money. Garry gets your money, right. I think I can see a lot of pitch people.

00:19:24
Speaker 4: I'm not doing that.

00:19:25
Speaker 6: I agree like you just made a mockery of that million that I've worked hard to make.

00:19:29
Speaker 3: It's one thing if you give it to you know, Francisco Mendoza. It's another thing if you give it to to to To some.

00:19:37
Speaker 1: Point, so much has been made out of this twenty two million dollar roster. People keep bringing it up. I think the people that help donate to that are gonna be a little reluctant to give that money next year.

00:19:46
Speaker 3: One person writes, Matt, I want you to ask Ryan of a television show that I know he watches, or if he just doesn't watch, I think he would love.

00:19:53
Speaker 4: Does he watch Love Is Blind? I do not.

00:19:56
Speaker 1: I've heard of it, but I don't watch it. Actually, I heard it's pretty good.

00:19:59
Speaker 4: I'm on my first season of it. I tried to find it. So Love is Blind This season is set in Cincinnati?

00:20:05
Speaker 1: Oh is it?

00:20:06
Speaker 4: Did you know everyone in it is from Cincinnati?

00:20:09
Speaker 1: Okay?

00:20:10
Speaker 4: And you know?

00:20:12
Speaker 3: So the premise I think is like you you can don't get to see each other. You just try to fall in love just by talking, and then you it's revealed, And it feels like the premise of the show is just they see each other and they both are like, what do we do?

00:20:28
Speaker 6: The look on their faces. They can't they can't hide how they're feeling.

00:20:31
Speaker 3: They're always no, they are you go some disappointments, Oh no, you're not attractive, And it feels like, why would you go on that show?

00:20:37
Speaker 4: It would be so embarrassing for someone to look at you and be like ugh.

00:20:41
Speaker 1: How long do they talk back and forth with the big reveal?

00:20:43
Speaker 6: Oh, they get very they propose without even seeing it. They get serious in just a matter of days. But what hooked me is Abby showed me one from a couple of seasons ago. This this woman kept saying she looks like Megan Fox and the guy obviously has a picture of Megan Fox, and they get this relationship and they do the grand reveal and respectfully to her, she looks absolutely nothing like Megan Fox, and his face says, you do not look like Megan Fox.

00:21:07
Speaker 4: So that's what hooked me.

00:21:08
Speaker 6: How some people will just blatantly live what they look like, get engaged, and then they still.

00:21:12
Speaker 3: Try to like make it work, but it's clear that they don't like each other. I saw a clip yesterday where he was like, she goes, you don't say I'm pretty, and he was almost like, well, I mean, but all these people are from Cincinnati, which which the reason I say that is there's gotta be a lot of people listening to the show.

00:21:32
Speaker 1: Who know, who knows some people that are gonna be on the show.

00:21:34
Speaker 4: They are all from Cincinnati. Everyone's single in it this time.

00:21:38
Speaker 1: Somebody listening right now know somebody's gonna be on the on the show right now there.

00:21:42
Speaker 3: So I feel like you should be our love is blind corresponding. Okay, you can tell us if it's good.

00:22:10
Speaker 7: Switching gears a little bit. When y'all were talking about the Olympics the other night, it was either Sunday or Monday night. They were having the long version of the double skating. Yeah, and uh, Terry Terry Gannon threw out of myronism. The male skater lifted up the woman skater and threw and then caught her and laid her down softly on the ice as she was skating. He said that they are so smooth. They go together like peanut butter and jelly.

00:22:38
Speaker 3: Okay, well I didn't know. He said that that's good. Well, Myron's things are stare are stacking up. I appreciate the call. You got a shout out yesterday. Tom Hart said, Uh, if you if you work hard, you're hardly working or whatever it.

00:23:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard you ended up making like a ton of money at Valentine's.

00:25:25
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he mentioned that I think yesterday maybe off the air.

00:25:28
Speaker 4: You're showing me a house.

00:25:29
Speaker 3: It's a a house of a former UK person. I'm not gonna say which one, but that would be Do you better not.

00:25:38
Speaker 4: Screw this up to Cow's House on Richmond Road? Cows House?

00:25:42
Speaker 1: Wow, honey, you got it's a very nice house. I worry about it where it is because you know you kind of like you don't.

00:25:50
Speaker 4: Have to tell people where. Yeah, matter of fact, don't. I won't. But are you gonna embarrass me? No?

00:25:57
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be your realtor and show your run and point out things and let you make it the You're.

00:26:02
Speaker 3: Gonna point out, You're gonna tell me what I need to see.

00:26:05
Speaker 1: Sure, are you excited?

00:26:08
Speaker 4: I've been to one of these with you and you had holes in your socks. That's his move. That was That was Drew. Yeah, these a little little piggies for coming out for you.

00:26:19
Speaker 3: Put your little second toe was peeking out and giving people a little a little whoopsie, and I didn't I didn't know that that was I had to stop.

00:26:27
Speaker 4: One person writes, Matt.

00:26:29
Speaker 3: Do you think there are more fans like Darlene from the postgame show and they just don't get their voice heard as much?

00:26:36
Speaker 4: Did you? Did you hear Darling?

00:26:37
Speaker 1: I didn't hear Darlene last night what she said.

00:26:39
Speaker 3: So Darlene called and was basically like, I'm just very positive. I think UK basketball uh can still be good this year, and Mark Pope can still be good and I don't know why everybody always counts us out so quickly. Uh, basically, I'm just a lot more positive, I'm Darling.

00:26:56
Speaker 4: That was essentially what she said. And uh, yeah.

00:27:00
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of I think there are, Like you two ladies were shaking your head. I do wonder if, if some respect, our female fan base is much more positive than our male fan base. They just in, you're shaking your hand. So we have three women in here, they're all saying the same thing. They they're kids.

00:27:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I actually I do.

00:27:19
Speaker 3: Think it's important to remember, like like if when you go on Twitter, like, no women.

00:27:25
Speaker 4: Post on Twitter, not a lot. Do you all post on Twitter? No, they don't even have Twitter.

00:27:32
Speaker 3: You all are like you're probably Facebook, Instagram people right barely. I do think it's important to remember that a huge part of our fan base is women, and they are probably much more positive generally speaking than the males.

00:27:46
Speaker 6: D Yeah, that's probably the case with the demographics. And just over the years, I've learned that they're they're just different types of fans. There are fans male, female, adult kid. Even after a loss like Georgia, they just don't want to hear a bad word, like We're fine, we're gonna fix it. There's five games and we're gonna five. Like they just they can't have the convert Like if if we say we didn't shoot well, they hear, well, you think this teams are gonna win a game and you don't like them and they can't shoot And I'm saying last night they did not shoot well in that game and they lost.

00:28:13
Speaker 4: Just give an example. I mean, they shot will last night.

00:28:15
Speaker 6: But there are people who just have that I don't want to hear negative people about Kentucky basketball because we're gonna win out and that's a good way to live.

00:28:22
Speaker 4: But there's just different ways people fan. Yeah, I like Darlene's call.

00:28:25
Speaker 3: I think the thing that the biggest mistake I think Kentucky fans make is assuming the entire fan base is like them and their friends, right, because you tend people tend to run with people that are like them, and so you think everyone is is like you. When it comes to programming this show, I program this show to be quite frank with you.

00:28:53
Speaker 4: For you three.

00:28:53
Speaker 3: Ladies, No, I'm being dead serious because my theory is the men love Kentucky sports enough that they're gonna be all right.

00:29:03
Speaker 4: I'll throw them some bones, right like I'll say, hey, hey, Drew, don't you think Mitch Barnhardt should resign? Is this you want my answer? No, because I know I'll say it. I'll say it.

00:29:15
Speaker 3: Throw those bones out there right talk wrestling with Shannon. But at the end of the day, when I see young people who don't listen to radio, or women or casual fans listening, I'm like, now we're winning.

00:29:30
Speaker 4: Because if I program for the hardcore people, no, sports radio kind of sucks in the ratings.

00:29:37
Speaker 3: Like, if you go look across country sports radio does not do well in general. But if I can get those people, the hardcorese come along for the ride, and they may go Matt Jones, you stinking liberal. You'll talk enough sports, but they'll still listen, and now you can produce a big audience UK. One of the things they have to do is marketing. Is they are not just going and after the hardcore angry people on social media. And that's why sometimes I do think they do things that people don't understand.

00:30:07
Speaker 1: It's interesting to hear you talk about it. Then you think of all of our female callers. We rarely get a negative female call about football and basketball anything. There are much women are nicer.

00:30:20
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just true. Women don't fight as much as men.

00:30:25
Speaker 3: They fight in a different way, but they're nice.

00:30:28
Speaker 4: Women are just nice.

00:30:29
Speaker 1: And more optimistic maybe about things.

00:30:32
Speaker 3: Maybe because if you're a woman growing up like a nut, you have to deal with enough junk for men that you kind of learned you got to keep.

00:30:39
Speaker 6: Optimism right, all right, ladies, not a reperenam Only women get in.

00:30:45
Speaker 3: Oh, if you had a game that was I'll be seeing if you had a game that was only women in there.

00:30:50
Speaker 4: It would be as loud and positive it would it would be interesting, It would be interesting to see well, I mean the ladies, Clint, it's just all people whistling.

00:31:02
Speaker 1: Always extremely popular.

00:31:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's one of the best things they do.

00:31:05
Speaker 6: So they don't do it anymore, right though, it's one of the best things they did. No Pope still does it on basketball. Think football might have diled it back at the.

00:31:12
Speaker 3: It's people sometimes don't like when I make the analogy. But you know, this state, it's very easy for you to think everyone in the state believes what you do, even politically, like even when you know when Trump wins Kentucky by thirty points, that still means thirty five percent of the state voted for that.

00:31:32
Speaker 4: That's a huge amount of people.

00:31:34
Speaker 3: If you're with two other people, one of them voted for voted against him. But if you only spend time with people that are like, you're like, well that who where are the truck? Where are the hairs? But well, there's a third of the people in the.

00:31:45
Speaker 1: State are and Kentucky basketball means so much to everybody in this state. You know, we live and die by every game, every basket, every second, the guys are just a little harder to get over a tough loss maybe.

00:31:56
Speaker 3: Than yes, And I feel like Shannon in some ways, I'm almost in the middle between.

00:32:01
Speaker 2: I have somebody's gotta balance it all.

00:32:04
Speaker 3: I have some male and then, you know, at least I try to be nicer than a lot of people sometimes are to me.

00:32:13
Speaker 4: But it doesn't all. You know, it doesn't always happen. Who's next, Lindsay, Lindsay, go ahead, Lindsey.

00:32:19
Speaker 7: Hey, so sorry to switch gears.

00:32:22
Speaker 5: But what do you think the chances are the spring game will be at night to make room for the and D Series baseball game that's same Saturday at too, or do you think they'll do it early.

00:32:32
Speaker 4: I hadn't thought about that. Well.

00:32:33
Speaker 3: First of all, I appreciate the call. Let's talk about they're bringing back the spring game. They haven't talked about this yet. Great news, right.

00:32:39
Speaker 1: Great news. Yes, I think our fan base missed the spring game, and I'm glad they're going to bring it back.

00:32:43
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm glad.

00:32:44
Speaker 3: I think it will be very crowded for the first will steinwin. You may remember the first Mark Stoops one was an amazing crowd. I think you'll see a lot of people if the weather is good. Drew come out to the spring game too. I love you mentioned the baseball doubleheader. I don't know what they'll do. Hopefully they don't put them up against each other. I mean, maybe you do an early spring game at noon and encourage people to walk over to baseball. But I think they're gonna have a lot of people there. Like that first Stoopsman, that first stoops when people were tailgating, like you know, not Louisville wasn't town, but an actual football game was about to take place.

00:33:16
Speaker 6: The parking lots were pretty full for hours. Yeah, I think you'll have that again this year.

00:33:21
Speaker 3: I love the idea of baseball game at two, spring game at nine. I'm making it an awesome day on campus. Basketball will have ended, and you just make it to where everybody comes out to have like a day like that.

00:33:37
Speaker 6: That could be awesome. That's also, uh Keenland. Maybe the last Saturday of Kenland. That is the last Saturday ke Yeah, but that's I don't think that matters to me. People that want to come to town.

00:33:48
Speaker 4: You can have people everyone right there.

00:33:50
Speaker 3: They are right next to each other there, and I think that would be very very cool.

00:33:55
Speaker 1: I like the spring game under the lights too. After the baseball game. People can tailgate before the baseball game and then tailgate after the football game. I love that idea.

00:34:02

Speaker 3: Take you Sports Radio if I'm not two eight twenty two eighty seven. On the text machine, one person writes, Matt, you can one hundred percent tail. You've never been married nor had a wife with a lot of female friends. Females are not nicer in no way, shape or form. Most are like cats with their claws constantly out.

00:35:14
Speaker 1: My goodness, that's a man who's single, sleeping on a couch.

00:35:17
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:35:17
Speaker 3: I was about to say, which one of us sounds like the one that hasn't been around females. I most of my friends are when women are nicer. Now women have their things too, but in general, yeah, women women are nicer, and you're you know, this sounds like a person who wants to fight women all the time, who's always like my wife and their friends.

00:35:40
Speaker 4: He might want to get his situation figured out.

00:35:42
Speaker 3: I feel like you're more Maybe this is more your issue, sir, than mine in particular.

00:35:48
Speaker 1: God better be careful.

00:35:49
Speaker 4: You know you're all right, man, you're good. Such as help you feel like after that game with Pope? Amen? Everything all right? All right, all right?

00:35:58
Speaker 3: So we have a new game sponsor by wild Egg. Yes that I am fascinated how this happened? I guess Wild Eggs is on a roll with Ryan and they decided they're gonna give a fifty dollars gift card to Wild Eggs every Wednesday. It's Wild Eggs Wednesday. And Ryan, you're putting up what online.

00:36:19
Speaker 1: A scrambled word like to spin off their scrambled Eggs every Wednesday, Mario's gonna post a scrambled word. And the thing about these gift card, it's not just Lexington, Louisville, it's Bowling Green, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, in the entire area. You can use your wild card Wild Eggs gift card. But if you win with the first person to unscramble the word to Mario is the right.

00:36:39
Speaker 3: So Mario is putting right now the word on Ksr's Instagram and the first person who responds with the answer will win a fifty dollars Wild Eggs gift card. Yep, all right, So Ryan, Mario, you're putting it up right now, right now, all right?

00:36:54
Speaker 4: So it goes up now. I have it in front of me.

00:36:56
Speaker 3: Oh, you have the word. I looked at it this morning. I don't think I know what the word is. What I mean, have you not seen this is supposed to.

00:37:05
Speaker 4: Be your word?

00:37:05
Speaker 1: No, I didn't.

00:37:06
Speaker 3: I didn't know what the word was gonna say. I knew it wasn't his word, shinny. When I saw how hard it was, I was like, there's no way Ryan came up with you.

00:37:12
Speaker 2: No, he's just the spokesperson for it.

00:37:14
Speaker 3: So I looked at this, and I'm not certain what the word is. I thought it was one thing, but then I looked at it. Huh, and it's not.

00:37:24
Speaker 6: That where it is I thought it was.

00:37:29
Speaker 3: I thought it was. I will say I thought it was goible, but it's not. It can't be because of the letters. So don't say we can't answer it.

00:37:40
Speaker 4: But I don't. I have to tell you I don't know what it is.

00:37:42
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is either. That's a hard one.

00:37:45
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure you could probably just put this into AI and get it in that room.

00:37:48
Speaker 4: It'll be a race for who's but.

00:37:50
Speaker 1: Nevertheless, somebody's gonna get it before the end of the show.

00:37:53
Speaker 4: I don't know what it is.

00:37:54
Speaker 3: And uh so you answer on Instagram KSR the show and you'll you'll get your first one for wild Eggs Wednesday.

00:38:01
Speaker 1: Wild Eggs Wednesday, scrambled eggs, scrambled word.

00:38:03
Speaker 4: I'm glad you didn't know the word. I didn't think.

00:38:06
Speaker 1: Well, I think they were afraid to give it to me because I'm so smart. I would figure it out and it would slip out during the commercial.

00:38:12
Speaker 4: Well, people, I thought you were going to come up with the word too. I was thinking, we're looking at like a three or four letter word here. Who's gonna be O, DG, car I got it? Who's next? Let's go to John John? Go ahead, John got a winner? Winner? Hey mat okay, go ahead, sir.

00:38:31
Speaker 8: Hey man man. I've been screaming about free throw shooting for five or six games, and I can't believe our best player can't shoot free throws. And we got twenty coaches on the bench. Can't we have somebody that can showing or I'll drive up to Lessington.

00:38:51
Speaker 4: You can teach them how to shoot free throws.

00:38:54
Speaker 8: Absolutely. I mean, I'm seventy five years old and I can make six. Ten years ago, I make eight out of ten. Okay, okay, but what but do you think?

00:39:04
Speaker 3: I mean, do you think though that they're not being taught or maybe they're just not executing, because I kind of feel like someone has taught them how to shoot a free throw.

00:39:13
Speaker 8: Well, they're not executing and they're not taking them seriously. They're free.

00:39:18
Speaker 4: I do agree that they don't.

00:39:21
Speaker 8: I mean, oh wait, it's just not I mean he's not relaxed, he's not. He's just he's shooting the line. Drive up there and take his time that they add up. Yeah, yeah, I mean I can do it. I'll just let me know when I need to go up there.

00:39:37
Speaker 4: But i'll throw in your name. I'll tell him you're available and maybe they maybe they will take you up years ago. The old guy he tried to teach.

00:39:47
Speaker 2: Teach me and I did well in the video and couldn't do it.

00:39:48
Speaker 3: Well everything you're like rhyme with the putts and all of them.

00:39:53
Speaker 1: But you know, we had good free throw shooters at the line last night. Trent Noa is a great free throw shooter. Aberdeen's a great free throw shooter. They just missed them for whatever reason last night.

00:40:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate the call. I went down a wormhole.

00:40:07
Speaker 3: Yesterday and watched old KStV videos excuse me, Hay Kentucky videos including I love watching the one with you, the outtakes of you doing your I gotta learn my hates the best thing we've done. That might be my favorite thing we've ever done on here.

00:40:24
Speaker 4: That's the hardest. By the way, this is a ten year anniversary of us making that.

00:40:27
Speaker 1: That was really years ago.

00:40:29
Speaker 4: You had just.

00:40:30
Speaker 3: Gotten your new hair and you were so proud of your new hair you had gotten and it was great.

00:40:35
Speaker 4: It was great to watch you were so happy.

00:40:37
Speaker 1: It was the hardest, just out of nowhere, laughed and I think any ever I've all had together because it just came out of nowhere.

00:40:43
