Speaker 3: This is Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

00:00:35
Speaker 2: Well, welcome everyone. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Wednesday, July the thirtieth. I'm Matt Jones here in Lexington, Kentucky. You can give a show a Clarks Puppy Shop full nine eighty five to nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. It's gonna be an Ask Anything Wednesday. A Vision Auto Glass text Machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four in this edition sponsored by the t J Smith Loves called TJ. He'll make them pay. We are on studio. John Michael Montgomery will be here today at eleven o'clock. Life's a dance you learn as you go, time you follow. Yes, I swear that's my favorite Rundy County auction. What else, there's a bunch Let's be my baby, tonight be my I can love you like that. Yeah, that's a good Letters from Home, which I think is actually a beautiful underrated song, like a military song people writing letters. I thought that song, that's one of my favorites. I'd forgotten about that one. Anyway, he will he will be here at eleven o'clock to promote his concert. He's gonna have at Raupparina. We got a full house today. Media Day is Friday for UK football and we have a lot of various things I want to talk about, but I want to start with one thing that just happened to me this morning. Went to went to my McDonald's. Right, Okay, how's that been going. It's been going good. I mean that McDonald's and I are going well. And uh, you know, there's there's usually you go, you order and there's an older guy that takes the money very good. He's quick, he's efficient, no nonsense, Shandon, no conversation, takes the card four two hands it right back, next car, next car, bam. Sometimes he'll go have a good day, but it's like a stern have a good day. It's not a happy yet. It's like a move along it is. It's like, okay, we've had enough of you, get out, get out of here, and I'm for it because the efficiency is part of it. Today the way wasn't as crowded. He was not there, so first of all we'll thrown off different person. That's okay. People need days off, right, they gotta have other things that they gotta have other things going on. I pull up. This guy looks at me, does it this is important? Doesn't say hello, no greeting at all, younger guy. He just looks at me and says, what if i'd know at five years old what I know now? Can you imagine that? That was the first thing he said. Never seen this person before in my life. I am rarely speechless. I didn't know what to say about that. Does he mean generally what if we knew when we were five years old? Or him specifically, what if he knew what he knows now at five years old? I don't know him. I don't know what he knows. And he looks at me kind of waiting for a reaction. This is as if Shannon, we've been in a conversation for a long time. We've never seen each other before to my knowledge, and I just look at him and I go, that would be amazing, and he was like, yes, it would and then he just hands me my card back. And I thought about it ever since. I didn't know what else to say to him. I guess it would be amazing. But what I thought it was interesting to just, out of no way just say that to someone. And this isn't a complaint. He's had me thinking for thirty minutes. What if that guy had known what he knows now when he was five years old? Who knows?

00:04:10
Speaker 4: I think it's brilliance on his part. He probably does to everybody this morning that came through the drive through.

00:04:14
Speaker 2: You think he does that to every if he's kindly got a varety of questions.

00:04:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you just happened to be the five year old questions saying, oh.

00:04:21
Speaker 2: That's an interesting theory. So you say instead of just saying hello, have a nice day, he's trying to spice it up, yeah, with interesting comments.

00:04:30
Speaker 5: You know, And when you started the story, I thought he was gonna be kind of a psycho now that I'm thinking about it, still on your brand, kind of like the movie you know, I've work to drive through. It can be very boring, just same thing over and over. I like that he's probably trying to keep the job fun, mix it up a little bit, so even though it probably threw me off quite a bit, and I like his move.

00:04:46
Speaker 2: I also think, though, if you had a five year old who knew everything a thirty five year old would do, that would be a maladjusted child. I think you would have a hard time sharing and interacting with the world. If he had a brain of a thirty five year old in a five year old body.

00:05:00
Speaker 3: Would be a real problem. In kindergarten, There's.

00:05:01
Speaker 2: No doubt about it. He would. He could just look at the kids and go, child, Yeah. The teacher would go, what did you like to be? I want to be a singer, and this guy'd be like, there's no chance. Just so you understand, being a singer in today's society is very difficult.

00:05:15
Speaker 5: Did he mean just general thinking of a thirty five year old or specifics like I would invest in video or I know who's gonna win the super Bowl.

00:05:21
Speaker 2: I bet on it. It wasn't somebody behind me, I probably would have continued the conversation. So that was That was good and I needed it because last night during the Reds game, I nearly uh well, let me tell you how angry was at the end of the Reds game. Okay, and this you think this is a joke, crime, It's not a joke. I was so mad at the end of the Reds game last night. I nearly called the postgames. Oh my, I nearly was Matt from Lexing, Yeah, okay, Lance McAllister almost got a call from me. I was so frustrated by it. I was so frustrated by we had the Dodgers beat and then he Substitutito substitutes Jake Frayley for for Santiago Espinal and Connor Joe, who's a nice guy, but he should be he should be like selling T shirts. There's no reason for him to be on the team. Substitute substitutes Marte for Connor Joe. Both Marte and Freiley had hit a home run earlier in the game. Took them out. Got Gavin Lux in left field, who plays it like Mario Wood. I mean, it's just it's just a disaster. We end up losing the game five to four. Graham Ashcraft and his stupid goatee can't throw strikes, and next thing you know, we lose. And I was very upset. Most upset I've been at a baseball game maybe ever. Oh wow, Well, because I mean I don't watch, you know, I don't care and I don't but see that they reeled me in after sleeping the race six games above five and they start reeling me in and then they're up four to two in the seventh and it all falls apart, and I almost called the postgame show. I was gonna go Lance, and then I was gonna say, can you hear me? Lance? Can you hear me? And then I was gonna do that. I almost did it last night.

00:07:03
Speaker 4: You should have done it. But now you got it. You're so fired up. You said you may go tonight because show Hay's gonna pick.

00:07:07
Speaker 2: Well, I have to go tonight show Hay's pitching. When am I gonna see it? Like? I mean, he the Dodgers are here once a year. Sometimes you don't even get show Hay in the rotax shit, right, So like this is the one chance to see him. I've seen him hit, but like this might be the best player of all time. Part of it is because he hits and he pitches. So if if it's gonna pitch, but now we're gonna lose, we're picking pitching Nick Martinez who throws as bad as Shannon did last night for the Legends, And so I mean, we have to go. I have to go, but I'm I'm frustrated. Shoe Hay is one of those athletes if they're anywhere near you and you have the opportunity, you know, this is like a generational talent. You have to go see it. Who have been the athletes in our lives that if they if you have a chance to see him, you have to in our lives, all right. Michael Jordan's absolutely magic, Johnson, Larry Birds, Lebron. Those are the basketball. Okay, maybe Steph he throws Steph in thereby, Okay, I'll take that, all right, So that's your Basketball's football. I don't think football guys resonate like that, like the team is what you want to see, But to the extent you would want to see him, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Montana.

00:08:17
Speaker 4: Before all these off the field stuff. I felt that way about Brett Farr. I went to watch Brett far f but I mean he was not.

00:08:22
Speaker 2: You might it's because you liked him, but I don't know that he's that special.

00:08:26
Speaker 5: You're in that football didn't give you that individual and individual thing.

00:08:30
Speaker 2: It feels like it's more of a team. You know, they're wearing their helmets for some reason. Football doesn't work like that. With me. It's basketball and then baseball. Okay, Barry Bonds. I wanted to see, first of all, I wanted to see Sosa McGuire hit home runs. Yes, I drove up to Chicago when the when Saint Louis played Chicago and they went against each other. I didn't know you did that. I was. That was the game where Sosa passed McGuire for the lead and then McGuire passed him back in the same game. That was awesome. That's one of the best sporting events ever been to Sosa McGuire beards and then show her right it is right now? Is there another one in your life that you can think of? I just want to say I've seen it.

00:09:07
Speaker 3: No.

00:09:07
Speaker 5: I mean there's a lot of great players, but you're talking about doing everything you can when they're near you at all to go see them and just and.

00:09:13
Speaker 2: You would have Tiger, Yeah, oh for sure. I think he's the only one in golf in my lifetime. Yeah, you and I saw Federer and Nadal in tennis, and that was kind of a cool, like special thing seeing those two, especially even Djokovic didn't do it for me like the two of them did, even though he might end up being a better player. Is Serena in the tennis conversation? Serena is in the tennis conversation? For sure? Anybody else? Is anybody else you can think of, like I have to go see them do their craft?

00:09:44
Speaker 5: Not really, I mean I think of like girls in Kaitlyn Clark that we're getting there with Kaitlyn Clark.

00:09:49
Speaker 2: There's another one. I don't know that Ione, but I would if I knew that. I I know she's not far away in theory, I guess I could. But if I knew that Caitlyn Clark was playing in Louisville Lexington, I'd be like, I kind of have to go to go to that. Yeah, she's entering that realm for sure.

00:10:04
Speaker 4: See when I was a kid, you know, was Nolan Ryan Pete Rose, those guys Rose.

00:10:09
Speaker 2: I'm sure it was like that for a certain It's a little before my time, but I can see that. I mean, show he's pitching, you almost have to go, And it would be nice to sort of be able to contrast the greatness I'm going to see tonight with what Shannon did last night at the.

00:10:25
Speaker 3: Basic Me and what I did last night. First of all, I'm going first.

00:10:27
Speaker 2: So I heard you and Billy were about to fight today. Is that true? No?

00:10:31
Speaker 3: Absolutely not.

00:10:32
Speaker 2: Well, he was saying that you're the worst pitcher that's ever pitched.

00:10:35
Speaker 3: Billy was saying that.

00:10:37
Speaker 2: Well, I think he said on the show.

00:10:38
Speaker 3: Billy's just upset because nobody asked him to throw out a first pitch, and if they didn't, nobody would care. So I think maybe that's why he was a little upset.

00:10:46
Speaker 2: Wow, WHOA Right, there was kind of a first segment of the pre show. I was listening there. There was a little bit of a it was like my parents were fighting. It's pretty cool. You got asked to throw out the first pitch. That's awesome.

00:10:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks selection Legends for having us.

00:10:59
Speaker 2: Yes, and but you did. I was told on the text machine, you tell me if this is right. You were registered on the machine as twenty seven point four miles out.

00:11:09
Speaker 3: They didn't have the radar gun even going. First of all, I did throw from the mound.

00:11:13
Speaker 2: From the rubber, but you didn't throw from the rubber.

00:11:15
Speaker 3: Yes, I did.

00:11:16
Speaker 2: Well the picture I saw you were. There's some pictures. Mario has pictures stuff out there.

00:11:21
Speaker 3: There's a lot of all.

00:11:22
Speaker 2: Mario has pictures where it looks like you're two or three feet in front of the rubber.

00:11:27
Speaker 3: Mario would pull the pictures up incorrect.

00:11:30
Speaker 2: Okay, I feel like I saw them. But go ahead. You you were you were.

00:11:35
Speaker 3: Threw from the rubber. And if you'll look right here, you can see the first video there. That's the actual video. You'll see that. I'll throw it right down the middle, perfect strike.

00:11:42
Speaker 2: Billy looks to me though, that's like okay here. First of all, I'm gonna look at the picture for Mario. I see, I see you at least two or three feet in front of you were wrong, sir? So did you take a running start? Is that why you're in front.

00:11:56
Speaker 3: Of the rubb hurting the rubber? Can you not? Are you not able to see?

00:11:59
Speaker 2: But those that's the first time I've seen this angleing. Okay, so that angle and then it looked like it bounced. Did it not bounce?

00:12:06
Speaker 3: No, that is an AI video. It's getting crazy these days. It really is like AI is getting really good. This is the first video that existed, and then twenty minutes later, mysteriously, this other video, this altered video, came out and Ryot's trying to spread false information. And it's okay if it makes you feel good about yourself, Ryan to do that. You know, the first one, we were there live.

00:12:26
Speaker 2: How would you judge that I was there live.

00:12:28
Speaker 4: I had a camera behind home plate. My video is as accurate as anything you're going to see. It bounced in front of the plate. Corey Price is now tweeted out a picture showing that it bounced in front of the plate. It was such a bad pitch. It was such a bad poll the catcher couldn't even catch it. The guy behind the plate, the professional baseball player, guy is so bad.

00:12:47
Speaker 3: Pitch and cannot reach out and grab the ball. If it was it was horrible pitch. Blaming the catcher, I mean he was set up twenty feet behind home plate.

00:12:55
Speaker 4: No, obviously not right behind right behind home play prices.

00:13:00
Speaker 2: Picture that strike. This is not you laying on the ground at the end of Wrestlers embarrassing, But it's ups.

00:13:07
Speaker 3: Not embarrassing at all. First of all, everybody's like you were full of coolige boostbool pleaar. Yeah twenty years ago, dude, all right, it wasn't two years ago. And torn rotator cuff.

00:13:16
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, are you saying you have a rotator cuff now?

00:13:20
Speaker 3: I think I still have some lingering effects.

00:13:22
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Well that would make some sense as to why I'm.

00:13:25
Speaker 3: So proud out of my first pitch. And I don't care.

00:13:27
Speaker 4: It was office. It was one of allen Stein for the Legends. That's one of the worst first pitches they've ever had in the history of their franchise.

00:13:33
Speaker 3: You know what, you keep talking, You keep getting chesty. I wasn't going to do this, but I have some information here. I've got a little AMMO of my own from ten years ago when you threw out a first pitch, and I'm going to tweet it out for everybody to see right now. You want me to do that?

00:13:45
Speaker 2: You want to keep talking. It's awful.

00:13:47
Speaker 4: It's pretty bad.

00:13:48
Speaker 2: Ryan. Yours is worse than cham Yeah.

00:13:50
Speaker 4: I was trying to throw it as hard as I could and I threw my shoulder. You watched me walking.

00:13:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, he literally hurt himself. Yeah, it almost win the crowd. I think the wh and you should put that out. That's the worst of all, yeah, said talents. Stein said mine was bad. This is twenty times worse. Yeah, this is Bob a boo. She believes me and you mad as the only two that have gotten it there at the Legends games. I got it, I got it there, I got it. There didn't we all three? We all did it. We did it? Well, Well, you didn't do it.

00:14:20
Speaker 3: You threw at the same time from the rubber. Hunh, how did that happen?

00:14:23
Speaker 2: Well, it's a big rubbers. We brought her on rubbers. You didn't throw it from the rubber either. I just want to see it. So Shannon was on the rubber. The picture seeing, I think is on the follow through. He was actually on the rubber three ft in front of the rubber.

00:14:36
Speaker 4: On the follow through, you take a step towards home plate and you're.

00:14:39
Speaker 2: And you've ended up falling off of home plate, fall off the rubber, still out of base. I don't think show how he's going to fall off of home play.

00:14:45
Speaker 4: Watching after you releases the ball, he's a foot or two in front of the rubber.

00:14:48
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, Now of a sudden, Ryan's coming around on my side a little bit.

00:14:57
Speaker 2: I love you too so much. I'm not sure who's worse Connor, Joe or Shandon last night, but they were both. They were both bad. We will take a break, John Michael Montgomery at eleven o'clock. Some basketball practice gossip going along as well. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:15:14
Speaker 6: M M.

00:15:16
Speaker 2: It's a great song. It is a great song, and it's it's good life advice. So don't worry about what you don't know life sedance, You learn as you go. Now, the guy McDonald's would like to have known what he knew later, Sir fake fake Brandon, I who now calls himself fake, Sir Brandon, says Matt with young Matthew would have liked to known how to swim, paint pictures, change the oil, fix radio technology, and learn NFL rosters. Those would have been healthy. Or if I had one, I'd like to do over again. I wish i'd like learn to swim, because I I mean, I can do it. But not really, And I feel like I missed out on like fun because of my not enjoying swimming. I wish I wish I was comfortable around the water more so that that is one. Everything else who needs to learn how to change the oil they got places. But I do wish I could I could swim better.

00:16:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, if I could go back, I'd probably not even bother trying to play basketball. I've wasted my time a lot of chasing sports. I would have focused on things. I probably would have had a better chance. Who knows, I could have been U case kicker if at a young age I just started kicking other athletes.

00:16:26
Speaker 2: People say Bo Jackson, that would be one that I would when, especially when he was at his prime, when he was able to just do both so well, that would have been nice. Hussain Bolt, Oh my goodness, Yes, I think Bean. I've never been at one, but Bean at like an Olympic one hundred meters huh would be amazing, Like if it was one of those big ones, right, like the same boat Mike Tye. Yes, that's another good one. That's got to be one. Yeah, I mean in that moment, it would have been something to be at a Tyson fight, right.

00:16:57
Speaker 3: One of his last ones was actually in Lois but he.

00:17:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm not talking about that one. I'm talking about when he was Mike Tyson, when he was like walking in in like a scary dude. I think that would have been great.

00:17:10
Speaker 5: I have one that I just did two summers ago. I went to Nashville to see Messi when he was Miamissi and it was the one goal or one game score goal, like the whole season, uh.

00:17:19
Speaker 2: One person, say for young women, Simon Biles. I could see during that period when the gymnasts like Mary lou Rettin or one of those people, and I could see certainly I could see for certain people because you know, I mean when they do these gymnastics events that memorial, people are losing their minds.

00:17:34
Speaker 4: I did Muhammad Ali. I didn't even I saw him after he retired, just seeing him in person, like, oh my goodness, that's a.

00:17:40
Speaker 2: Said that UK football game at that time, right, Dale Earnhart, dal Arnheart's a good one. I saw Dale Earnhardt. That would have been yeah. So these are all good. There's maybe more than I realized, but show hey, you know that an hour Yeah, from definitely in the category I'm gonna I'm not gonna boo. I'm going to respectfully clap before we lose. I bet there's a crowd to night too for this game. Oh the tickets. If I was gonna sell these, I mean make a little cash tonight, right, Oh, it's crazy like the tickets. I sold my money night tickets for a lot of money last night, a little less, but tonight, if I wanted to sell them, yeah, I bet it would be absurd.

00:18:19
Speaker 5: But for ones like this, do you ever consider selling your single and just sitting with the person you sold to? No, I mean if you could make where you can make a stranger, I mean you're probably gonna sit buy a stranger anyway.

00:18:30
Speaker 2: The prices at Reds games for selling them without question. The if you get a weekend game against the Yankees or the Red Sox, I ain't going No, I mean a weekend game against the Yankees, I can get a grand for my tickets or more. Red Sox are close if the Cubs are good. When the Cubs are good, you can get along. Yeah. I always look as soon as the schedule comes out, Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox are they here? And is it on a weekend because during the week it's not as much, but if you get them on a Saturday. And then and then I had my buddy and I had a conversation about what team gets the worst, Like who brings the fewest fans to a Cincinnati game? And I think I've seen them all play. I think the team that brings the fewest fans is the Arizona Diamondback. Yeah, gotta be in them because they come here a lot. But Padres actually have something. Really, they come here a lot because they come here every year. Huh, and they don't have any fans. Tampa Bay's pretty bad.

00:19:30
Speaker 6: TI.

00:19:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I always give Billy tickets because that doesn't matter. And then and then the Marlins. Those are the ones that, like, you can't you can't give away.

00:19:38
Speaker 4: I bet tonight there's as many Dodger fans as Reds fans there tonight, wouldn't there be?

00:19:41
Speaker 2: Think which show does to show, Hey, a lot of Reds fans. I think it's gonna be full. I'm just gonna get I think it's gonna be absolutely uh a full tonight. If I'm nine to two EIGHTHO twenty two eighty seven, right before we go to the Ask Anything Wednesday, a little basketball scoop. Jack Pilgrim got some practice info and I got so similar to him. I guess sometimes I think UK people just decide we're gonna let people have a little infoc because it seems like everybody gets him on the same day. But really not a huge change, but a lot of things that we've heard. Here's the good news. Okay, Jalen Lowe is going in the direction that we want him to go. Yeah, like he is. If he's not, it's either going to be him or Oway as the best player, and I think he's going to be the leading scorer. I think best player will be in the eyes of the beholder. But from what I understand, like taking to the Pope system, playing under control, and people are saying what they hoped this was the exact quote given to me, what we hoped Jalen Lowe will be. He might even be a little bit better. Wow. I like that.

00:20:45
Speaker 5: You know, we will star have to see it here in November, but I like that. It sounds like his floor is pretty high because when we got I mean, he wasn't the first option. He was at pitt where his efficiency numbers weren't great, but so far it sounded like he's in a great spot, as you're saying, in any concerns and maybe not pan out or even being like a bust or something. It's looking like he's going to be good.

00:21:02
Speaker 2: We know, always going to be. Then the other sort of universal thing is that trit Noah is the best shooter on the team. It was said to me he will not start, but he is going to force himself to be played with how well he's shooting the ball, which is great.

00:21:17
Speaker 4: You know, when we started talking about the roster early on who we were worried about him being hinh eleventh twelfth guy. I think the fact now he's earned the right and and learned the respect where he's going to be on the floorplane many because he's been our one of our best shooters.

00:21:27
Speaker 2: Remember we still don't have Jaden Quainton's yet. Now to the extent there's a negative and I always hesitate to do this, but there is some I want say concern, but there is some. Is Brandon Garrison gonna take a step up, and I think there is some concern with the team of between Brandon Garrison and Moreno and our Slovenian who's not here yet. Are we going to have a five or parts of five that we can rely on. I think that's gonna be the worry of this year. We take for granted how much we could rely on Omari last year. I do think there's a lot because that five is a huge position in Mark Pope's offense. And I think there's a little concern of hey, has Brandon taking the step up that we needed? And I worry.

00:22:17
Speaker 5: You know, we joked last year as Brandon Garrison time because sometimes he call his Oe number. I worry that now he has a bigger opportunity and he's trying to fill a Mari's shoes. If he's going to try to do too much, I think they really need to keep him in a role that he can thrive in rebounding. If he could play defense like he did in Oklahoma last year, that's good, But I worry about him trying to do too much.

00:22:35
Speaker 2: Good stuff for Mohamed Diabayte, good stuff from Aberdeen. I think they want to see a little more from Cam Williams in terms of they think he's got potential to be great. They want to see him kind of get a little bit, take another step up. But what makes me excited is I don't think this team can be great without Jyalen Low being great. And it sounds like those steps are happening, and that makes me very happy. He's got to be good for this team to be good. I think he's got to be great for this team to be good. Hey, fave well to be great. They can be good with him, but like to be great. Hey, if I'm nine to two twenty two eighty seven, we'll be right back. TJ. Smith personal injury attorney, call TJ. He'll make them pay. Now.

Speaker 3: More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:19
Speaker 2: Welcome back, tell you Sports Radio, John Mike Montgomery here. In thirty minutes, one person writes on text machine, Matt, I give swimming lessons ten dollars an hour. That's a wow. I'm not gonna go to lessons now. I'd be worried about videos coming out of me flopping around the water, doggy paddling out there. I'm not gonna do that, but uh got water wings put those on not listen. I can be fine. I just have told you I don't like to jump into the water, you lower me down. I can swim around.

00:23:47
Speaker 3: Lower you down like in a harness. It comes like.

00:23:54
Speaker 2: That's not what I mean if I go down like the steps of a boat or the steps of a pool or whatever I use myself in. But like if I just jump in, I can do it, but I panic. I don't. I could sit here and act like I could, but I don't.

00:24:13
Speaker 4: You know, you missed out on some things in life, like you guys wnchking the Bahamas.

00:24:16
Speaker 2: And it's not even that for me. It would be like I'd like to go, like to Lake Cumberland or something on the boats on a nice day when everybody's having fun, everybody's looking hot, and like I don't want to be the dude reading a book in the book like I'd like to be able to, but I don't. I tend to stay away from that stuff because I don't want to be like, just get in the water, it'll be fine. It's like when people tell you about your dogs that they're like, oh, you'll love my dog. No I won't. No, They'll always be like it'll be fine. Like the lake is the scariest thing. You can't see the bottom. I don't know how deep it is.

00:24:52
Speaker 3: We'll bring it out. We'll get the boat, we'll get your harness, we'll lower you.

00:24:55
Speaker 2: I don't want to harness. Let's go Andy, go ahead, And it's asked anything Wednesday.

00:25:04
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, mask anything Wednesday? Uh, coming up to elections tomorrow for the weekend and Friday night, I'm going to Jeff Ruby's for the first time. I've never been, and I was wanting your recommendations on what to order.

00:25:17
Speaker 2: Well, I mean if you if you've never been. I mean, they're known for their steaks. Don't get like a chicken sandwich. You know, if you want to spoil yourself, if you want to spoil yourself, Andy, they do these cakes that are like wild and they'll set them on fire and you know they'll be like So that's why I would say, if you wanted to spoil yourself, but in general, you know, don't go too far. They I don't know, do you like oysters.

00:25:41
Speaker 7: I've tried to smoke the oysters. I've never done the raw oysters.

00:25:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I mean it's an acquired taste. Yeah, if it's acquired taste, So if you like it, they're good, but you'll have a good time. I appreciate it any and uh, we'll see you at the wing thing to tomorrow night.

00:25:56
Speaker 7: I appreciate the come right, see you guys tomorrow night.

00:25:59
Speaker 2: I was at the bar last night. We were yesterday. We were testing the burgers and we we were not don't say which one, but we did. We had to do a blind taste test of all the different kinds of meat, and we all agreed on one. And it's so much better than what we used to do. No offense to what we used to do. I think we were The burger wasn't great, to be honest, it was okay, but what this is gonna be really good? And so we were like tasting. I didn't realize how much difference buns make. Yeah, oh yeah, So we tasted like five different buns. I didn't realize that buns were such a big deal. I just thought, you know, like that old commerci when I was a kid, motor oils, motor oil buns a bun, but it's.

00:26:35
Speaker 5: Not bad, bonill ruin a good burger? Yeah, get a good potato bun on there.

00:26:39
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, we we tried a bunch of them. You remember that commercials Old guys, I remember that commercial. You and I are the only ones that seems to Mario doesn't doesn't remember that. Bob. Go ahead, Bob, what's going on?

00:26:55
Speaker 7: I've been.

00:26:57
Speaker 8: I've been blocked, dropped short. But the popper you gave me was my colls and you stopped me to tell me, Bob Jamestown was the most recognized color.

00:27:09
Speaker 2: Bob, I just I can't. I can't suck up to people. I think it's likely the case that Bob from Jamestown that doesn't mean good hey, but he is probably the most recognized.

00:27:21
Speaker 8: I'm poinder changed. But my question is, you know, we have a concept of something and then one look can change it. Forever you were you were a hunting I think the bowl and they get trophies that put on the walls, fish and their heads and antlers. Have you ever seen this set of handlers? I don't know where it was. I had a set of gonads hanging from them and a smirk on that. What are you talking about? About?

00:27:52
Speaker 2: Have I seen.

00:27:56
Speaker 9: You?

00:27:56
Speaker 4: Explain that?

00:27:56
Speaker 9: Again?

00:27:57
Speaker 2: But Bob, have I ever seen what hanging from the walls?

00:28:01
Speaker 8: Their head set up with a set of gold ned hanging from the rats.

00:28:06
Speaker 5: That's the first time and the second time that, yeah, Bob, I have not seen that, and uh, I don't know.

00:28:13
Speaker 2: I don't know where one would where where one would see that.

00:28:17
Speaker 3: And we have those A buckets, you know, Whiskey thief called the day that I'll say that.

00:28:22
Speaker 2: I don't know how Bob is, but there is an age where people will just say it sure, and I think he's hit that.

00:28:29
Speaker 5: I think, Oh no, last summer while you were gone, didn't we have some Bob shows where we had to kind of I think he got grounded.

00:28:35
Speaker 2: For a week.

00:28:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, he said some things we had to.

00:28:38
Speaker 3: Think that Bob, that same Bob.

00:28:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you think that guy is?

00:28:42
Speaker 6: Next?

00:28:42
Speaker 2: Te calls? I got to ask you late seventies, early age, you know what I mean? He could be like Madison sounds old and he's not that old.

00:28:50
Speaker 5: One time he called us and this wasn't one of the inappropriate ones, but I think it was the same week he was like, I'm just wondering if y'all are going to start talking about anything entertaining today.

00:29:00
Speaker 2: All right, Bob, we'll get on that. Yeah. Since I made fun of myself for how bad I aim at swimming, I am the only person here who's ever shot a fish with a bow and arrow? That is true.

00:29:11
Speaker 4: Somehow you got lucky and shot it in the boat.

00:29:17
Speaker 2: One person shot the fish with an arrow that jumped up in the air. The Asian carp fish got in the way of your arrow. There, I think is what happened. No, and I was going to keep it, but it smells clay or Ben, go ahead, Ben?

00:29:32
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, So I bought a ticket for tomorrow night swing casing I unfortunately gonna go after be A. My daughter has a preschool open house. I have to go to that. I was looking to see if I could give the ticket away. I don't really know how to go about that. I don't want it to go away, so I just wanted to give it away. I didn't know if there was a way for me to do that, or if you all had a recommendation day.

00:29:53
Speaker 2: What I'll in your honor? What's your name, Ben? And you just bought one? Yes, all right, Ben, in your honor, I'll give it to somebody and give them your reservation. Ben yep, Okay, thank you so much. I can handle that, all right, appreciate you. I'll give that to someone because, yeah, we don't want to go to waste where this is. This is science, and good.

00:30:15
Speaker 5: For him to not just you know, leave it and go about his life and not worry about it. He wants to make sure that's he gets filtered. We appreciate, we'll ben well, we'll try. That's nice of you, Clay. Go ahead, Clay.

00:30:25
Speaker 6: Hey, Matt, I want you to tell me where I'm confused, because I'm gonna set I'm gonna go to football here. Okay, we have this is the most depth that we've ever had on a Kentucky football team. Four four and five wins. You know, I'm thinking, Wait, why do you say?

00:30:44
Speaker 2: Why do you just okay? Are you Are you being silly or you being real?

00:30:48
Speaker 6: I'm being I'm being I'm there's not a smile on my face.

00:30:52
Speaker 2: All right, So why do you think we have depth? What are you basing that on? Tell me who our second string? No, let me let me tell me who our second linebackers are. I think, I mean, I appreciate the call eighty seven. I mean I I we don't have depth. Depth is the problem. We don't have depth. We might might have a good starting group. Uh huh, we'll see. I'm a little skeptical but there's an argument that with the portal and with the guys moving up, we might have a pretty good starting group. I think we have some depth at wide receiver, but I don't know if that depth is that everybody's good or everybody's just the same. Yeah, and I think we might have some depth in the secondary, but I don't know if it's everybody's good or everybody's just the same. But we do not have depth on, say, the offensive line. We do not have depth on the defensive line, and that's part of the concern. We might have a first string that works, but we'll have to see about the rest.

00:31:49
Speaker 4: Yes, the defense, I think they are very happy with the first string guys. But I think the concern is kind of contradict with that guy said there's there's kind of lack of depth. You mentioned who's the backup linebackers are? I have no idea. Yeah, I can't think of one guy in the back.

00:32:01
Speaker 2: Of the I can't either. And that would have been the thing. Shit, And he could have said any names, and I might have said yes. Would have been to say, was you know Andrew Smith is showing some great I might have been like, well, that's plausible. He just said Smith, he's good. There got a couple of them.

00:32:17
Speaker 5: I will add the running back, we're gonna have some depth there because last year will Cox and Patterson were two of the options, and now they're fighting for third and fourth. So the running back room did at some who are who are the starters in the running running back?

00:32:29
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:32:30
Speaker 6: Uh?

00:32:30
Speaker 5: They got Nebraska, Yeah, got out from Nebraska, and then they got the McGall supposed to be good.

00:32:34
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:32:35
Speaker 5: And the McGowan's from where he's kind of bounced around. He even took like it came from Juco. Had a year off with some issues, but he's he's here now and Stoops raved about him. He'll probably be the two. But those are that's a pretty good one two punch. And then will Cox, who was good.

00:32:50
Speaker 2: Because they are talking like their confidence. I mean, obviously bush Hamden said the thing about the offensive line, but even Stoops, you know, you said, I mean you buy that. Do you think it's false, Bravado? Do you think they're just like do you think they're just I think.

00:33:03
Speaker 4: They feel better about this roster because they cleaned up some things that need to be cleaned up. You know, we talked about the culture some guys maybe not getting effort in the classroom and then look at the film room and.

00:33:12
Speaker 2: That kind of thing. I think. I think you think they look in the mirror the coaches and go, this team is good. This team is good. Yeah, but you think they believe it. I think they believe it.

00:33:22
Speaker 4: I think the schedule is not friendly, but I think they believe they got a good team.

00:33:25
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I mean, but I mean that's hard to say. Have you ever thought they didn't believe they had a good team?

00:33:32
Speaker 8: Though?

00:33:32
Speaker 10: True?

00:33:33
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I don't.

00:33:35
Speaker 4: We'll find out early, like we found out early last year that there were some issues going on with that team last year.

00:33:39
Speaker 2: I think we'll find out. I do think that, I will say this, I don't know how much I think they're going to be better than last year. I don't know that their record will be significantly better, right. I do think though, one thing I feel confident about. I do think the chemistry problems last year it will be better this year. Do you agree with that?

00:33:53
Speaker 6: Oh?

00:33:53
Speaker 5: Absolutely, we're already hearing that too. Even it's a small thing, but stoop saying a freshman was late early in the summer and that coaches didn't even have to say a word. The players jumped on him like we're not late here.

00:34:03
Speaker 2: That's good. A year ago that wouldn't have happened. It is impossible to overstate how bad the culture got. And as the season went on it got awful. But also I think they had just let it slip. And so now that stuff is good to hear. Now what it changed. It turns into on the field, we're gonna have to see. You know, nothing says summer like long days. What do you think show Hays strikeouts are gonna be tonight? Say pitch a lot. He'll only pitch like four or four, seven? Seven? What do you think nine? I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go six. But you can bet on Draft Kings sportsbook app for a Major League Baseball game. Ellie hits. He gets one almost every game, surely struck out four times last night. By the way, did you say the strikeout where his eyes got big?

00:34:45
Speaker 3: Oh?

00:34:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, you need to look at that video. Lodolo throws a pitch that like it baffles him and his eyes he looks like what like he saw a ghost? Look at my chinn I had. It's amazing.

You see that like he the ball like falls off a cliff and then he just go He's like like he's never seen what happened right there. We'll take a break. Very back, Welcome back, Turkey Sports Radio eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four. One person writes, Matt, you guys are missing not going to like Cumberland. You would have the most fun in the world. I would have fun in theory. But then, like, I just don't like answering the questions about not getting the water. It's just like, why aren't you in the water? Lerch tell me don't get the water, so I don't feel like a water. Mind your business. I'll I'll just dance on the boat. Hang on the boat. Somebody's get hold on dancing. Yeah, it's exactly. It'll float off if I don't do it. One person says, Matt, I've listened to you interview people for many years. I've think your Josh Hopkins interview was the best one I've ever heard. Him talking about rust was made me cry, and him talking about UK basketball made me sing with joy. I don't know about singing, but uh, I do think it's one of the best things we've done. I mean, he talked about you know, he was literally on the set when Alex bab when accidentally shot to do and he talked about what happened that day, you know, and I don't want to spoil it, Mario, you were here, was I mean, it was like amazing, it really was, and he talked it was the first time he's talked. We talked for like thirty minutes about it. We did other stuff too, but I really, like, I thought it was great. I think if even if you don't even know who he is, I guarantee you you'll like it.

00:36:46
Speaker 4: He said, you know, the first time he really talked, excuse me, talked about it almost maybe he needed to needed like some therapy to get talk about that incident.

00:36:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, also talkingful like how he almost got Jerry maguire the movie yeah and then he didn't, and so like what that was like to have a movie that gets nominated for an oscar and you the Jerry O'Connell part was supposed to be him and it didn't happen. So just things like that. And then we talked about UK basketball and he suggested a show that I think would be a great show. So this was like four or five years ago when I was really struggling with stuff and I went to Austin. People always giving me a hard time about going to Austin. Part of why I went to Austin's I really like Josh and Josh was a fun person to hang out with. He lives down there, and he and I watched a UK Auburn game when both of us were kind of struggling, and we watched the game. We lost the game, but during the game, he and I would talk about what was going on and he said it was like Kentucky therapy. And then he goes, wait a minute, that would be a great show Kentucky therapy. People talk about their problems while watching a UK basketball or UK football game, and I was like, you know what, I would like that that wouldn't be a good show.

00:37:52
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd definitely tune in. What if the game is the reason you need therapy? We got that's a very good point. You're in a football game, that might be the case.

00:38:02
Speaker 2: John Michael Montgomery is waiting outside, so we'll get to him in just a second. That Jacob, Jacob, go ahead.

00:38:12
Speaker 9: Jake Morning. I hope you're all having a summer. Matt. I just want to recommend I know you're look for you going to South Africa next two weeks. I definitely recommend it. It's an awesome place. If you do you go to work circling, I recommend taking some drama. I mean because if you're protacy sis. But my actual question is, uh, especially when it comes to college football, there's a lot of the solution drilling relates to collective bargaining. But for the players, why would most players be interested in actually agreeing to restrictions? Is there a percentage like well, I.

00:38:47
Speaker 2: Mean they'd like to be well, they'd like to be percent And that's like asking why would you want to have a union? I mean union. I mean there are people who don't want to have unions, but in general, on the whole, unions get better working conditions and money for the average member than a total like free for all. Now you'll see this with the Major League Baseball Players Union right now. The top players in Major League Baseball do not want to have a salary cap because it limits how much the best players will make, but you could the middle and the bottom players it actually probably will help. And so in the union there's this argument between the Bryce Harpers of the world and the Connor Joes of the world about whether or not you want a salary cap, and maybe even whether you would want a union at all. The same thing I'll be true in college sports if you had a union and a cap, it would probably hurt the earning potential of you know, otega Oway, but it probably would help the earning potential of a college Chandler or something like that. And so I think that your your point is why would they want to do it? Well? The other option, which is that Congress passes a law that limits all of their money, I think is probably worse than if they get to collectively.

00:40:14
Speaker 9: Bart for college football, though, especially what it needs to be initiated between like schools or conference.

00:40:21
Speaker 2: Well, that's a great question. Nobody knows is the Is the union going to be schooled by school, is it going to be conferenced by conference, or is it going to be college football as a whole. The answer to your question is nobody knows right now. I appreciate the call, and that's that's that's that's it, And that's an issue like should you have SEC players negotiating MAC players deals or should you say the SEC gets a union, the Big Ten gets a union, et cetera. I don't think they'll do it school by school. I think they do it conference by conference. And then the SEC has to think, maybe if we give our players a better deal, we'll get players that otherwise would go to the Big Ten. That's exactly what I was gonna say. So then it becomes like the union negotiation, the players and the school might have an incentive, you know what I mean. So I think there's so many different ways this could go, and it's hard to know right now. Trevor, go ahead, Trevor.

00:41:21
Speaker 11: Hey, Matt, as future traffics are of Lexington, do you think the traffic problem could be solved by any time you see traffic, you go ahead and sipper merge, like you were telling, everybody works.

00:41:34
Speaker 2: Really I think zipper merges work really well. I don't think that's the big problem though, And I don't think it's that's more of an interstate problem. That's a Cincinnati problem. The problem in Cincinnati is everybody hits their brakes on seventy five and there's nothing to hit your brakes for, and it slows it down. In Lexington, it's just construction and we need more roads. We just need more roads. I appreciate the call, but people don't want to interfere with the horse farms. And you know, Ryan would tear down all businesses on Nicholasville Road to only have roads, but then have nowhere to go. Yeah, we don't need sidewalks. Take those sidewalks out any Probably the best thing Lexington would need is it'd be nice if we had public transportation, but I know that'll never happen.

00:42:16
Speaker 5: One day, we're gonna have the new Circle monorail that goes to Georgetown and Nicholasville and then circles Lexington. Wouldn't that be awesome?

00:42:23
Speaker 2: It would, But no, we won't well, I can dream They'll never do that. John Michael Montgomery. When we return Hour number two, This is Kentucky Sports Radio,
