Speaker 6: They were like, why is Ryan setting up the equipment with three minutes to go before the show?

00:01:30
Speaker 5: Yeah?

00:01:30
Speaker 2: I was coming in hot tonight today. Yes morning, you know, I mean.

00:01:33
Speaker 5: The show starts it it really goes at ten oh three.

00:01:36
Speaker 6: Yes, not the best to start putting the equipment up at nine point fifty eight. Am.

00:01:41
Speaker 5: Uh.

00:01:41
Speaker 2: The good thing is I remember the equipment because it was in my son's car. You know, he went to.

00:01:45
Speaker 6: I'm not giving your lice chan and he doesn't get credit for doing the one job he has in the morning, which is getting this set up.

00:01:51
Speaker 5: But the good thing is we made it.

00:01:53
Speaker 6: We didn't make it after our trip yesterday to London and we are back and ready to get back to sports. I do want to know, you know, when after the show yesterday, we we walked around the London neighborhood, the Sunshine Hill neighborhood for a while. They it seems like they now have sort of a better control system kind of in place of who can get in and out, and I think that's good. So there was a lot it was a lot less chaotic than it was when I was there on Saturday, and there were you know, we just saw people sort of cleaning up as much as possible they wanted to get before the storms. Here today, we got to talk to a lot of people and you know, there's an interview I did that is online that I'm sure many of you have seen by now, but with the brother in law the of the first responder who passed away, that was a pretty powerful conversation. And you know, guys, we were there yesterday kind of on the ground, and I want to thank all the people who have who have written in and talked about it with me and said, you know, nice things.

00:03:04
Speaker 5: But that was a you know, it was a tough thing to.

00:03:08
Speaker 6: Watch but also you know, there are positive things happening down there and trying to recover, and hopefully that continues to occur.

00:03:16
Speaker 2: I'm trying, like you guys. I couldn't stop thinking about it the rest of the day yesterday. Those those images and those stories we heard walking around and visiting with people, just a heartbreak. And I kept going back to that. That minister who was sitting in front of his church that no longer existed. He was just sitting out front there and the church was gone.

00:03:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, there was the minister of the sun Sunrise Hill or is that what the Sunshine Hill Baptist Church and he you.

00:03:39
Speaker 5: Know, he was just sitting in front nothing.

00:03:41
Speaker 2: What can you do? The church is gone.

00:03:43
Speaker 6: He had found a bell from the church and he had seated next to him, and you know he kind of had a look like, we don't really know what to do at this point. And yeah, now there was some some really positive things. The North lawl football team. We saw those guys walk by during the show. They were they look like you would think a bunch of guys to get work done. And there were a lot of people clearly that had come from a long way to help clean up. I mean, I continue to get people asking what can we do? I think the cleanup is the thing now. I think they probably can use somebodies. You know, the cinder was on here. It said that he wasn't sure about that. I can say I think they do need some bodies, and people have people there have said they could use that. And that's kind of where it is now as it gets to the difficult part.

00:04:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was one thing to just when we first got there, we just walked around, we had visuals. But then after the show actually talking to people who lived at the man who lost his brother in law and whose sisters in critical condition. We met the guy whose parents they were lucky, but they were in the bathtub and everything kind of fell on him.

00:04:49
Speaker 5: He showed us the picture of that.

00:04:50
Speaker 6: So here in the storehouse was gone, Shannon, except the bathtub. Wow. And they laid in the bathtub, these two, I think he said, in their seventies.

00:04:59
Speaker 5: He was out there get up to the debris next to us while we were talking to.

00:05:02
Speaker 6: And that's an unbelievable thing. And if and he showed us the picture. All the house is gone except sitting there was the bathtub that they were in, so yeah.

00:05:09
Speaker 7: Just hearing the stories just added to it. The visuals were enough to break your heart, but hearing from people who actually lived it.

00:05:14
Speaker 5: I'm with Ryan. I thought about it all night.

00:05:16
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I did too. It was well, I mean, it kind of is what we've said. It's tragic.

00:05:24
Speaker 5: We will.

00:05:26
Speaker 6: I expect today that there will be an announcement about a fund.

00:05:30
Speaker 5: I mean I continue to hear.

00:05:31
Speaker 6: People there locally say, with the exception of a couple things like the gloves and the and the plastic what do you call it, tarts, the toats. I think they have the tarts now, but the toats, I don't know that they need goods, a ton of goods, but they do need those. And then I think it will be a financial thing for the for the rebuild.

00:05:55
Speaker 2: And we were walking around Mario and I are like, well, you know, where are these people going to stay? Where they're gonna live?

00:06:00
Speaker 5: Now?

00:06:00
Speaker 6: The governor said, eight hundred people are being housed right now in various places in Laurel County, sou So. Anyway, God bless all the folks down there, and thank you to all the people who were hospitable to us down there. There were a lot of people who were cleaning up who said they were listening during the show, So that was nice.

00:06:21
Speaker 5: Now we come back and the real world here is back, and I believe Drew.

00:06:28
Speaker 6: You you can tell me this is a basketball recruit deciding to well, we have a commitment. Watch. It is amazing to me how behind I've gotten on this stuff because I saw the kid's name.

00:06:42
Speaker 7: It's like Hawthorne, Branden Hawthorne from West Virginia, and I've.

00:06:45
Speaker 5: Heard about him. And when I heard about him was a while back.

00:06:48
Speaker 6: When I was talking to folks at UK and he was kind of the this could be the last guy. But this was before we got the Croatian, so I've kind of assumed he wouldn't be the last guy anymore. But he's siding today and some people think he might go. Kentucky's right in the mix. There's been conversations with him for a while. He visited last month, but the roster seems seem pretty complete everyone on the outside. So we've been watching but not knowing how serious it was. But now that we're in the final hours, who makes his announcement tonight? Kentucky's in like the top two. He was committed to West Virginia at one time, So tell me he's from West Virginia. Yeah, where is he from?

00:07:22
Speaker 5: A A. I don't know the exact plane.

00:07:24
Speaker 2: Hunting.

00:07:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, played huntingson Prep played Hunting. That's where people know. That's where Patrick Patterson played.

00:07:29
Speaker 7: Okay, he committed to them and decommitted, but it's still considering them the second time around.

00:07:34
Speaker 6: Why would you do that? And Pitt is the other school West Virginia Pit. So I guess the question is Duke in Virginia Tech are on the list, but those Kentucky Pit and West Virginia seemed to So it sounds like the question is do I want to go to a school where I may play or do I want to go to a school where it's Kentucky but I may not play. Do you think that's kind of kind.

00:07:53
Speaker 7: Of completely what it is, because uh, I mean, I think Kentucky's been up front with him, like we are stacked right now pretty much across the board. You'll be a following year guy we really want to develop and put into his starring role. So he's got to decide, you know, Pitt, let's just say they were trash.

00:08:11
Speaker 5: We know that. Keep it up with Jayalen Low. Wait just a second, they were trash. Absolutely yeah, everyone, Well we got jay Lo Low.

00:08:17
Speaker 7: Anything you know about jayl Low is he's basically playing one on five out there, So I mean, if he were to go to pitt he's gonna play right away and be the guy. West Virginia's offered a lot of money, it's home. He's already committed once also more immediate playing time, but it seems like he's really considering just taking a spot kind of deep on Kentucky's bench and being a developmental piece for his sophomore season.

00:08:35
Speaker 5: What would you do?

00:08:36
Speaker 6: Would you want to go be the thirteenth or fourteenth man? But a thirteenth or fourteenth man? Who tell me?

00:08:42
Speaker 5: What is he ranked?

00:08:43
Speaker 6: I thought he was like a flyer, and then I saw maybe twenty four to seven Sports had him as the number thirty.

00:08:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, he had a big spring.

00:08:49
Speaker 7: Some of them haven't really adjusted, Like I think he might be still in the eighties on one list, but I think he's thirty fifth with ON three.

00:08:56
Speaker 5: He really blew up just very recent.

00:08:57
Speaker 6: So he is thirty fifth player in the country with ON three, and we might just get.

00:09:02
Speaker 7: Him as a guy who knows he won't get a whole lot of a media playing time.

00:09:06
Speaker 5: That's wild.

00:09:07
Speaker 6: I mean that's like a really highly ranked recruit and and I cover it, and I like kind of knew he existed. We could get the thirty fifth ranked recruit in America this year and it just kind of has happened.

00:09:21
Speaker 7: Without having to promise to a certain amount of shots. Like I mean, maybe he breaks out and does play a lot, but the assumption is, hey, you're gonna be how tall is six eight six seven forward?

00:09:32
Speaker 5: So I mean this could be like this be a huge recruitment. That's no one.

00:09:37
Speaker 6: You talking about, no one mentioning. I mean, Brydon Hawthorne. That's coming out of nowhere, isn't it.

00:09:45
Speaker 2: I love his thought process if he's if he knows he's gonna concerning Kentucky knowing he's gonna be maybe the thirteenth guy. Maybe that's what his whole process is. I want to learn as much as i can for one year, and then the next year I'm gonna earn that plain time on that spot.

00:09:58
Speaker 6: Well, the other way to look at it is if if you were to go to pitt Or, West Virginia and he were to have a good year. He might just end up here anyway, true, you know, I mean there's a little bit of that's kind of how it goes. Maybe his thought is why skip the step? Why not just go ahead and go there? I mean, I guess that's you think that's maybe one way.

00:10:16
Speaker 7: Looking definitely, there's been questions obviously about Pope recruiting you know, good high school talent. But if he can recruit a guy to not even play right away, that's pretty insane to just stow him away, his thirteenth fourteenth guy and like it. Maybe he breaks out if he does come here and steal some spots, but that's not being.

00:10:34
Speaker 5: Assured in the recruiting process.

00:10:35
Speaker 6: If they end up I mean, if you just want to do a direct one for one, if you end up replacing Travis Perry with a kid like this, this.

00:10:42
Speaker 5: Is an upgrade.

00:10:43
Speaker 7: I mean, that's an upgrade, isn't it. Like, I mean, Duke's on his list. A bunch of school has reached out to Dukes in his final five. I don't know how serious it is at this point, but I mean, this is a big recruit. It's not a top five like we would get spoiled with years ago. But a four star who's in the ranks had a big spring.

00:11:01
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:11:01
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

00:11:02
Speaker 6: It is amazing to me how much, at least on a personal level, the whole recruiting process has changed. I mean, there was a time this fan base, you know this, I mean you've been this was timeAs fan base was obsessed with recruit and it wasn't just col it was it was that was during Tubby, and that was during Gillaspie. And that has just completely changed. I think we're obsessed with the portal and we might be obsessed with like one or two guys as they come. But it is amazing how it's changed, hasn't it.

00:11:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, the recruitment of high school kids has definitely taken a back seat. And when we look at our roster for next season, you're right this this guy would have been on the forefront of everybody's mind for the last month or so.

00:11:42
Speaker 5: We would have known all about this, Yeah, and I would And again I would have been watching his high school game. Yeah, and we would have been like.

00:11:48
Speaker 2: Oh, you know Athorn updates.

00:11:51
Speaker 5: AJ Stewart likes to play pickleball.

00:11:53
Speaker 6: I mean that would have been kind of that that thing, And it's interesting. I'm trying to think of the aj Stewarts of the world. You think of the names of the past that didn't come here that you remember. Okay, So in my internet world, the first name I can remember being like obsessive on the Internet was Darius Rice.

00:12:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you remember Darius Yeah?

00:12:18
Speaker 6: He was the he was when I was starting mcglore fifty two. Okay, that stage of my career. That was Darius Rice was the big one. Jay Lucas, I think, is another one you have to mention as a name of the past. What else?

00:12:35
Speaker 7: I actually mostly remember the Billy Gillespie high school kids, and the the Vinizola's we did this, Ryan, Mike Lavery, Letter, mclintarh.

00:12:43
Speaker 6: But but those are but those are guys we actually got. I mean, can you think of the dudes that we didn't get that are names from the past, and and and maybe ones that didn't end up being very good. When it was the kid's name that that skipped us to go to high school and then went to Notre Dame, Oh he did. He turned down a Kentucky offer to stay in high school for another year.

00:13:06
Speaker 5: What was that kid's name? I remember? He was kind of like a little he was Cherubic. You remember that.

00:13:15
Speaker 2: I remember that story. I can't remember the name. I can't remember the names that it popped up in my mind with Shabaz Moham.

00:13:19
Speaker 6: I mean people say cherubic, I think is a funny word. Sometimes people say my favor. Sometimes true. I didn't ask you to say I was anyway.

00:13:27
Speaker 2: Go ahead, uh, Shabas Mohammed is when I remember, Well, he was really good though, but the one you gotta go way back, and of course it was before you guys time. He was a guy named Byron Mutan, and every day at Channel eighteen we did m every single day of Byron Muton up there. I don't know we ended up picking Maryland, not Kentucky.

00:13:45
Speaker 6: I say, I vaguely remember that. We're talking like O two something like that.

00:13:49
Speaker 2: Ye, yes, every day a Byron Mutan update.

00:13:53
Speaker 6: Well maybe in the text machine for those of you who remember the old Internet, but that this is called the Darius Rice because Darius Rice was the I think Darius.

00:14:02
Speaker 5: Rice was the first Internet recruit, don't you think so?

00:14:05
Speaker 2: He was definitely up there, one of the first ones that I remember.

00:14:07
Speaker 5: He and I have no idea what happened to him. I wish him the best.

00:14:11
Speaker 6: What is that kid's name that went to high school instead of Kentucky. We'll figure it out. Eight five nine two eight, twenty two eighty seven text machine is seven seven two seven seventy four five two five four. Kentucky could end up with a player tonight. We'll be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:14:27
Speaker 5: Tyrone Nash. That's it.

00:14:29
Speaker 6: That was his name. You came up with Tyrone, right, Tyrone. I didn't get the Nash.

00:14:34
Speaker 2: What a crazy story that was.

00:14:35
Speaker 5: Yes, Cavortney Barber, that's a good name from the past.

00:14:38
Speaker 2: Uh huh, that's a good one.

00:14:39
Speaker 6: Yes. They're getting to be fewer and fewer of us that can remember these names, you know, as you get older, Like that used to be. If I did this show in twenty eleven, everybody would have been able to name Tyron nat If. You know, we get farther and farther from it, there's a whole other generation. They're like, oh, yeah, we lost Zion. Yeah, well yeah, I know I'm talking.

00:14:59
Speaker 7: Uh before there's a few early Cowwins. I remember, like whatever happened to Steven Zimmerman the Big Seventh? He was like number one overall we wanted him. He goes to maybe UNLV and I don't know if he's ever been heard from a good.

00:15:11
Speaker 6: Right And it wasn't his mom somehow involved.

00:15:13
Speaker 5: That was one of the earliest. Ye she knew a lot of media too. Yeah, she was like, get out of him and shade and be like, mom.

00:15:19
Speaker 4: Go home, Mom, this is not your time. This is for yourself.

00:15:23
Speaker 5: You're just talking about you're getting kept up at night.

00:15:26
Speaker 7: Drew by local high school team. Yes, I mean the Douglas Broncos. They've always well, they're in my backyard and sometimes with the football team they're practicing. I'm listening to their music. We'll have my coffee. But the softball team.

00:15:39
Speaker 5: Did they cheat as much as the football team? No?

00:15:41
Speaker 7: No, none of them cheat. The great great athletics over there, but they are by far the loudest. Part of it is proximity to my home, it's the closest. But softball they scream about every ball one scream.

00:15:53
Speaker 6: I would say to parents out there, if you want some parental advice, and who better Mario to give that to me. If you want some parental advice, have your young daughter go into softball or volleyball. They are the two most positive sports because whether they no matter what happens, they cheer. In volleyball, what shade them whether or not they get a point. They give each other a high five after every play.

00:16:17
Speaker 4: Basketball, though, they get a high five.

00:16:20
Speaker 6: Yeah, but just for the free throws. They do it for every single play, after every play, just watch a volleyball game. They all clap and then they give each other five and then they go play the next play. Softball is the same way I watch the College World Series. Those girls scream after every pitch, every single pitch, Like if you if you had a kid and you were worried about them having self esteem. Just play those sports. They will always get affirmation.

00:16:48
Speaker 7: I don't even know who's winning or losing because it's just non stop cheering. Like it just seems to be so much happiness over there. Also, when I'm grilling, I think Christy Thomas from from UK over here does the intros. I'll be just flipping burgers, and I think I have a lot of memorize just from here to.

00:17:04
Speaker 6: Uh, Shannon, you watched part of the bin Laden thing. I had some people write me they seem to like it like I did. Yeah, you watch it?

00:17:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, that first episode is amazing, just a lot of different, like behind the scenes stuff that you would never get to see otherwise.

00:17:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, and yeah, the.

00:17:17
Speaker 3: Guy that coming in with the stock of paper, with all the warnings that that was gonna.

00:17:21
Speaker 6: Set out to me that he printed out stacks of papers. He said, so I can prove that I tried to warn everybody that's us. I remember when they did the nine to eleven Commission, they said one of the big problems with they had all these different branches of government and they never coordinated with each other, and then that that was kind of Yea.

00:17:40
Speaker 2: I have a question. I haven't seen it yet, but it just seems a little odd to me that they let a video crew record all this at the time, like when they're not afraid of maybe leaking something out of I think there's.

00:17:50
Speaker 6: A lot of stuff in government that gets recorded live for for history, because you know, it's like so many years after a president dies, they re leave all their papers, like I think I read Reagan's the date of the release of his is coming soon. I don't know when did Reagan died. Did he died in two thousand and one, maybe something like that. I think.

00:18:13
Speaker 5: I think I could be wrong about it.

00:18:15
Speaker 6: I think twenty five years after a president dies, I may be making up that number four two thousand and four. Okay, so twenty twenty nine would be it. Twenty five years after a president dies. I think they release all of his stuff, and I think Reagan's is coming, and so part of it may be that once they had.

00:18:33
Speaker 5: The video part of it, they would do that.

00:18:35
Speaker 6: Now how they got access to put that in the Netflix documentary, I don't know exactly that.

00:18:40
Speaker 2: Camera cru that was in there during those meetings where they're bush and they're trying to decide what to do. I'm like, why can't Eve they allow this to be videotaped, thinking it might leak out somehow.

00:18:49
Speaker 6: But they didn't really show those Like they showed him sitting there, but they didn't show what they said to each other vibe.

00:18:54
Speaker 2: Okay, So I haven't seen it yet.

00:18:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, they don't really images over it. Yeah, it's just like a picture and then the people talking.

00:19:01
Speaker 5: Okay over I watched the.

00:19:02
Speaker 7: First episode last night too. A lot of it stands out, but one of my favorite parts is the small group of CIA guys are over there and they're kind of surrounded, out numbered, and then they go to some girl who was like the sorority vice president at USC and she's man in the drones just picking people off, and she's just like this little blonde.

00:19:20
Speaker 6: They shure her sororities and she was the vice president of her sorority.

00:19:24
Speaker 5: She h.

00:19:25
Speaker 6: They got hired her at the CIA, and two years later she's trying to search for Ben Lawden, Like.

00:19:30
Speaker 4: That's crazy. You would want somebody who has, like, you know, years and years of experience and you're out of college.

00:19:36
Speaker 6: She's like, I went from planning sorority parties to picking people off with drones. Why does that happen?

00:19:41
Speaker 5: In the world did that happen? She said?

00:19:43
Speaker 7: She the CIA was at a job fair at her school, and one thing they liked is because in her position the sorority, she would have to kick girls out based on things they did. She had to make tough decisions to like kick them out.

00:19:55
Speaker 6: I don't know, but she was a badass with her letters on or blonde and that's who's out there just picking people off.

00:20:02
Speaker 5: There's once you learn stuff, there may be a lot that you don't want to know. Who's up first?

00:20:06
Speaker 6: Shit? Noah, Noah, go ahead, Noah, if I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven, go ahead and Noah.

00:20:14
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, So I remember last week you guys were talking about there was a caller who came in talking about the best in Florida, that you would go in there, find out good things to do, whatever. And I remember you guys not giving a lot of good reflection from that, especially from Drew. So I wanted to give a bit of a better life towards it. So me and my wife we actually went there on our honeymoon this past November, and I gotta tell you, one of the most fun things that we had from it was jet skiing with dolphins.

00:20:41
Speaker 6: Yeah. Listen, I'm not trying to say Destin is the worst place in the world. I'm just saying you're not gonna find me there. But I think for you and your wife and the dolphins, it sounds wonderful. That sounds like a beautiful honeymoon. I just think there would be children there in Jermy, in Malaria, so I would That's why I would try to stay away from it. Yeah. Well, good, Well, I'm glad you had had a wonderful, uh honeymoon, and I appreciate.

00:21:08
Speaker 7: You can say something nice about it. Crab Island is very nice there. I've been to Crab Island. That's a lot of fun for me. It's just too many people in one one spot.

00:21:15
Speaker 6: I if you were to talk about for me the top five places I don't want to go, Okay, Number one by far As Orlando.

00:21:27
Speaker 5: Okay, you you you you Orlando.

00:21:30
Speaker 6: Yeah, you could take me to Uh. I would rather spend a month in Knoxville then than in Orland. Wow.

00:21:37
Speaker 5: Uh.

00:21:38
Speaker 6: Second is Myrtle Beach. Okay, I did Myrtle Beach. There's too many like tie did or you know, what do you call it? The T shirts?

00:21:46
Speaker 5: Brush airbrush t shirts? Uh?

00:21:49
Speaker 6: You know, they don't even have good taffy like like like Gatlinburg Number and then Virginia Beach is another one. Too many biker gangs.

00:21:57
Speaker 5: I've been there.

00:21:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's and and and then I would say right there that next tier is probably Ryan Destined.

00:22:05
Speaker 2: I thought for sure you'd have Gatlinburg in your list.

00:22:08
Speaker 6: The thing about Gatenburg is there's at least though, like, at least these are my people, you know what I mean, It's not like at least they're Appalachian people there some but in those other places, it's just everybody is sweating, and they are everywhere, and they are like, you know, there's a lot of pasty skin drew and it's just it's just too much for me in those cities.

00:22:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's about the timming. I can enjoy the offseason.

00:22:36
Speaker 7: I don't like when it's just every restaurant is slammed and you can't drive anywhere and the beach is just absolutely covered. If I'm on vacation, I need a little bit of.

00:22:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean the whole poison vacations to be able to spread out. Yeah, I don't need some kid throwing a ball and hitting me in the face while while they're lathering sunscreen and dripping it everywhere. That's not really what we need. We'll take a break. We are here at the KIVS Far and Grill. It's Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:23:03
Speaker 4: TJ Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.

00:23:06
Speaker 5: He'll make them pay.

00:23:07
Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

00:23:11
Speaker 4: Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:12
Speaker 6: Shan, do you think this is like the most American song in terms of like, if you wanted to express how do Americans look at the world?

00:23:21
Speaker 5: You would play this probably so yeah, like.

00:23:26
Speaker 3: You know, like, hey, yeah back then, you know, we're all extra patriotic right after that happened, and people love stuff like this.

00:23:33
Speaker 5: You know they did. I mean, that's what I'm saying. I'm not even judging it.

00:23:36
Speaker 6: I'm just saying this is like the most American thing, you know, I put a flag on your truck and then go kick somebody in the face. With that said, I do think it's a great song. Like I when it comes on, I'm singing it.

00:23:49
Speaker 4: Somebody's ass.

00:23:51
Speaker 6: You're right, I mean, look at it. I'm ready at any given moment to.

00:23:55
Speaker 4: Your SpongeBob SquarePants shoes.

00:23:59
Speaker 5: They will just be yell.

00:24:00
Speaker 6: When I put if I'm twenty seven on the text machine, one person writes, Matt sounds like such a fun guy, not wanting to go to those places. I think I have a fun guy. I just don't like to go. I'm with you.

00:24:14
Speaker 7: Like where it's crowded. You would like Crab Island. You kind of get out in the water a little bit, but it's not deep so you can. I mean, it's just like up to your knees and it's more of an adult scene.

00:24:22
Speaker 6: I'm you know, this. I can have fun anywhere. Right when we go on road trips, I enjoy anywhere we go.

00:24:30
Speaker 2: Usually the more obscure place, the more fun you have.

00:24:32
Speaker 6: That's exactly right. I'm I'm I'm better off you put me in a random town.

00:24:37
Speaker 5: I will have a lot of.

00:24:38
Speaker 4: Fun, like the karaoke bar in Oregon.

00:24:40
Speaker 5: And went to karaoke bar. Yeah, that song.

00:24:46
Speaker 6: Perfect, perfect example. But it's just where there's a lot of people together and specifically children that I beat.

00:24:53
Speaker 7: Crowds lines, children are three things you don't care for in some of these places, especially during the peak season, spring break, get away from the.

00:25:01
Speaker 5: Crowds, line and children.

00:25:03
Speaker 6: That's that's exactly uh right, all right, do me a favorite, sir.

That it is now up on podcast on Spotify and Apple until we change the name, which we will at some point and everybody do that and then hopefully we can rise up the rankings.

Speaker 5: But also you can listen episode one with Bomani Jones.

00:25:59
Speaker 6: I have who gas book this week, Ryan McGee yes from ESPN, and then Crystal Ball, who is a woman that I think people will find very interesting.

Speaker 5: Who does political stuff.

00:26:11
Speaker 6: There. So that those are the two guests and one of them will put on the w h AS Thursday night and then the other one will be podcast only.

00:26:18
Speaker 5: I hit five stars also yeah, yeah, if you want to go ahead and hit did you hit five s?

00:26:22
Speaker 2: No? I didn't option five stars. I just followed it and didn't see the option. Then and we go back.

00:26:26
Speaker 6: I like the description k sr's host, Matt Jones sits down with fascinating individuals from all walks of life. But Billy wrote that Okay, well, Billy wrote that that's okay. And then the first if you're if you're one of these YouTube kids, there's also it's on YouTube and you can.

00:26:43
Speaker 7: Watch it had good lighting. I watched it. It was a good setup. I was actually proud of the iHeart effort.

00:26:48
Speaker 6: Had good lighting sort of. We we had it back lit. So there's times I do look like you know that.

00:26:56
Speaker 5: I don't get sleep. We need to front lighted it.

00:27:00
Speaker 6: We back lit it. So it's not it's not the best, but it's better than a lot of things we've done before.

00:27:05
Speaker 7: Yeah, I expected like an iPhone three with the smudge on the camera.

00:27:09
Speaker 6: You know, it's upgrade from what we know. Money has like the real setup. You can tell his looks like a professional TV thing. We're working on that, Mario. That's that's one of his his projects. So uh to check it out.

00:27:20
Speaker 5: And I think you'll like the Bomani Jones interview if you tell you if you.

00:27:22
Speaker 2: Listen, Actually I'm here, Marty McGee, he I've never met the guy Marty McGee, Ryan McGee.

00:27:30
Speaker 6: Think for a second, Marty Smith and there's Ryan V but he doesn't go by Marty McGee.

00:27:36
Speaker 2: Marty McGee like that show. Yeah, Well, I've remember any matter, everybody says he's one of the nicest guys in the BIB.

00:27:41
Speaker 6: He might be the nicest guy, but I've always heard Ryan McGee is is as nice a person. You know, when you see these people and you go who's nice, who's not. I'm not There are a couple of people that come off as nice that are not nice. But he is even nicer than he comes off. He's the best.

00:28:00
Speaker 2: Even the guys like behind the scenes, like the UK guys that work behind the scenes, they had nothing but praise for him, and he treats those people.

00:28:06
Speaker 6: He's he's a great guy. So we're gonna do you know, the big auto racing weekend is this weekend, so we'll do that. But also college football, et cetera. So oh, he knows the racing. And like you all said, if you've seen anything he does, you can just tell how genuine he is.

00:28:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, he very much is.

00:28:21
Speaker 6: Thank you to somebody here brought us donuts. We we've talked about maybe doing a state donut ranking, inviting this summer, inviting all the people around the state that have donut places to bring donuts and we would we would blind rank the donuts to give a definitive top ten. Do you like could it be a bracket not a bracket? I think I think we were. We would set it up outside, people bring the donuts, and we would have a celebrity group of people taste, and then we would officially rank the donuts around the state.

00:28:55
Speaker 2: I think I'm being very sincere. That is the best idea you've ever had.

00:29:00
Speaker 6: Why is that?

00:29:01
Speaker 2: I love donuts, That's my one weakness.

00:29:04
Speaker 6: Somebody mentioned that people are bringing them from across the state. Are they at a disadvantage because they won't be And I don't know how, But I don't know how you fix that. What do they do?

00:29:12
Speaker 7: We have a regional winner, but travel outside of Lexington.

00:29:17
Speaker 6: I mean, we need to have Louisville and we need to have the town. So I don't know how you do it because I don't want to make people them get stale or whatever on the way. But at the same time, I want to give people the chance out in Owensboro and Paduca to compete for state's best doing.

00:29:31
Speaker 7: Golden glaze in Madison, they probably got neighbors that would be just a big disadvantage and they can just pulled out of the oven and walk it right over here.

00:29:36
Speaker 6: That's right, but I also think you know it could be good for their business if you have the definitive resking and there on.

00:29:42
Speaker 8: It.

00:29:43
Speaker 5: So got to give everybody a chance, right.

00:29:45
Speaker 2: Please don't let the disappear like the Wadi Campa. You gotta do this one. This is a mus Are you saying you would like to be a judge? I want to be chief judge.

00:29:52
Speaker 7: You've been training for this forever, right, You're the You're the justice for in quiest. You'll want all of them to bring a big French vanilla coffee. You like to sugar it out.

00:30:01
Speaker 6: Yeah you you Those are gross, by the way, when you drink them, get them all over your face. Who's up next?

00:30:07
Speaker 5: Bill?

00:30:07
Speaker 6: Bill? Go ahead?

00:30:08
Speaker 5: Bill?

00:30:10
Speaker 9: Good morning guys. Uh you just inspired me to ask you a question. But I have two quick points that I want to make.

00:30:16
Speaker 2: First.

00:30:16
Speaker 9: First, Joe packed chicken. I'm just pointed in the Watsburg people who haven't flooded. You're at the text message on you. How great it is some of the I don't even like fried chicken, and I love that chicken.

00:30:26
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know that there have been a lot of people, There have been a lot of people that have mentioned Joe Pack's chicken and said it's great, and uh so, yeah, just because I haven't said it doesn't mean there were not a lot of people that mentioned that it was really really great. And so the next time I'm in that area, I'm going but go ahead, you have to, all right.

00:30:43
Speaker 9: Second thing is, Matthew Harper Jones, I love you and I love your program, But dude, there's not a chance in the world if you had a kid that kid would be all over social media?

00:30:54
Speaker 6: Would it will?

00:30:56
Speaker 5: Not?

00:30:56
Speaker 6: Everybody keeps saying that to me that I will put my kid on social media when he or she is born, and then when here she graduates, and maybe if they accomplish something like if they if they get a Nobel prize in between, but otherwise we'll keep them.

00:31:10
Speaker 5: We'll keep them private. What's your question?

00:31:14
Speaker 9: You just mentioned donut. I have this debate with my wife all the time. Is a donut a breakfast or a dessert.

00:31:19
Speaker 6: I'll let you guys go breakfast.

00:31:22
Speaker 5: Breakfast.

00:31:22
Speaker 2: It's a breakfast to champions, is what it is.

00:31:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't.

00:31:26
Speaker 6: I think it's a breakfast. It's not a healthy breakfast, But I do think a donut is is breakfast?

00:31:32
Speaker 7: Definitely it is a good dessert though, like these leftovers, I'm gonna take one home and then tonight, right before bed, I will probably eat it again. So it can go both ways, but definitely categorized as a breakfast.

00:31:41
Speaker 2: That's the beauty of the donut. It can be breakfast. It could be a snack at lunch, it could be a late night snack. It can fill a lot of different food options for you.

00:31:49
Speaker 6: Sometimes I can look at you and see that it feels a lot of different food options for you.

00:31:57
Speaker 5: Actually, I'm kidd with you. You've lost some weight.

00:31:59
Speaker 2: I try again, I'm trying to lose weight.

00:32:02
Speaker 5: What are you doing? What is the rhyme lemon workout routine?

00:32:05
Speaker 2: No workout whatsoever. Just tried to eat better?

00:32:08
Speaker 5: And what does that include?

00:32:09
Speaker 6: Donut?

00:32:09
Speaker 5: Donut?

00:32:10
Speaker 2: Give me a free donut. I'm not gonna turn it down.

00:32:12
Speaker 7: Do you cook a healthy meal at home or do you change what you're ordering out to eat?

00:32:15
Speaker 2: Sunday night, I made a pasta and grilled chicken.

00:32:18
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah all the pasta bag just a little.

00:32:20
Speaker 6: But you know, the pasta doesn't necessarily help you with weight loss, and it's got carbs and that.

00:32:25
Speaker 2: I didn't want to eat anything greasy or you know, it's trying to stay.

00:32:28
Speaker 5: Did you put sauce on the pasta and chicken?

00:32:30
Speaker 2: I did a little bit.

00:32:32
Speaker 6: What kind of sauce do?

00:32:33
Speaker 2: Is alfredo?

00:32:34
Speaker 6: Okay, but that's the worst. I mean, there's a really good chance. Just so you know, that chicken alfredo pasta is maybe the worst thing you could eat on earth for losing weight.

00:32:49
Speaker 2: A potle on the grilled chicken.

00:32:51
Speaker 6: I was, but they just adding a lot of chicken. So it doesn't help because it probably leads to more sauce, which probably leads to more post.

00:33:00
Speaker 4: You just smother that grilled chicken and that sauce. It doesn't help, right.

00:33:04
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like a salad where you pour ranch on it doesn't make the salad healthy.

00:33:08
Speaker 2: I did have a big salad this weekend too, with what it was from Zaxby's that had all the Asian uh like chips on it. What they're calling that's a good sound. Yeah, it's a great salad.

00:33:19
Speaker 6: But what dressing did you put on it?

00:33:21
Speaker 2: Whatever comes with it? The Asian vinegar ette? Oh it's awesome.

00:33:25
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm proud of you too. I just would say when you're trying to lose.

00:33:29
Speaker 2: Weight, don't he did all these donuts.

00:33:32
Speaker 6: Chini Alfredo is the one thing that maybe you You try to stay away.

00:33:37
Speaker 4: Trying to get Ryan to work out. He won't do it. He won't do it.

00:33:40
Speaker 6: Why won't you do it? Even I do it sometimes?

00:33:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have zero interest in working out. I worked. You know, you work out all your high school career, in college career, and I.

00:33:48
Speaker 5: That's a long time ago. Yeah, I'm thirty five years.

00:33:50
Speaker 2: Done with it. You know it's twenty five years.

00:33:52
Speaker 7: Do you ever just get out and walk the neighborhood. I knew that off the gym, but I try to get get my steps in.

00:33:57
Speaker 2: Try to walk some walk the dogs around the neighborhood. That's that's pretty much it.

00:34:01
Speaker 5: Well good, that's nice. Hey, Central Kentucky.

00:34:04
Speaker 6: If you're looking for a new furniture or appliants place or with beds, look no further than p Rats. P Rats is a locally owned and operated appliance, furniture and mattress store.

00:34:13
Speaker 5: How long has p Rats been in Kentucky?

00:34:15
Speaker 2: As long as that since I've been here, and I've been thirty years, Mario.

00:34:18
Speaker 5: How long has it been in Kentucky? P Rats fifty two years.

00:34:21
Speaker 6: I want you to take how old you are, multiply it by three ol. P rats has been three marios. That's right, seventy five years, and they're experts at turning houses into homes.

Remember for seventy five years, it's been their slogan. Nobody beats p rats. We'll take a break right back. It's KSR. Okay, so there seems to be some people struggling here. The Matt Jones show is the one with my picture on it. There's another Matt Jones show that has a different person's picture, but that's not me, not you.

00:35:01
Speaker 5: Clearly I'm the one.

00:35:02
Speaker 6: With me in it. Did you think did you accidentally subscribe to the wrong one?

00:35:08
Speaker 5: Okay, he's having a big day of that guy.

00:35:09
Speaker 6: No, don't help him. I don't know who that is.

00:35:12
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what helped me.

00:35:13
Speaker 7: I searched Matt Jones bomani because then it puts that episode at the top.

00:35:19
Speaker 6: But I'm just saying there are other matt joneses, but not don't not theirs. There's one called the Matthew Jones Experience, which I don't.

00:35:26
Speaker 5: That seems fun, but would that be right?

00:35:31
Speaker 2: Well we could say, we can't say it on the air.

00:35:33
Speaker 6: I first of all, hush, I let you drive yesterday, by the way, so you should.

00:35:37
Speaker 2: I wanted to do a joke so bad yesterday when we were all in the car, I wanted to get on the phone like, did you see what Trump just said?

00:35:46
Speaker 5: Well, my car I couldn't fit us all in.

00:35:48
Speaker 7: It was weird being on a road trip with you all, and Ryan was the one driving. In sixteen years or whatever it's been for me.

00:35:54
Speaker 6: That that I will Shannon, if you've you've ridden with Ryan, yep, he considers lanes of suggestion. Oh yeah, just to suggest.

00:36:04
Speaker 5: Drive really fast?

00:36:06
Speaker 6: Well yeah, I mean you do you drive really fast? Like I thought I drove fast. You drive really fast.

00:36:13
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get you guys home safe and sound.

00:36:14
Speaker 5: Don't you agree? Yeah?

00:36:16
Speaker 6: I took a little peak at the phenometer. This phenometer goes up a little bit. I was uh. Joe Lenardi put out his first Bracketology posts the spring lineups has this as a two seed. I'm not gonna get into the matchups since I think we're ways away from it.

00:36:36
Speaker 5: Mattering, But do you.

00:36:37
Speaker 6: Think over under Lenardi being correct, are we going to be better than Lenardi's two seed or lower? You can't let's say one of those things happens were either a one seed or lower. You can't say it's going to be a two seed. Which one would it be what it thinks more likely? Be a one seed, or be a three or less.

00:36:57
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say he may be on.

00:37:00
Speaker 6: Now I didn't say you, I literally said you cannot say that he's correct. Would you say it's more likely he's we're above.

00:37:06
Speaker 2: It or low it below it? Well, that's what the choice. I'd go above it. Then. I think we're gonna better than last year, and most of last week were flirting with the two seed and the three seeds, So I would if I had to pick one the other goal above it?

00:37:17
Speaker 6: All?

00:37:17
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, I think I think I'll go one seed.

00:37:22
Speaker 7: I know that's being very optimistic, probably being more of a fan there than actually being objective, but I really think they're gonna have one of the better teams in the country. The schedule's hard, but as we saw last year, as long as you win some of the big oness losses won't hurt you too bad.

00:37:35
Speaker 5: So I'll say one seed. You know.

00:37:37
Speaker 6: The good thing is the schedule is going to be such that, like we could lose seven games and be a one seed like cause we're gonna have I can't imagine there's gonna be a team with a better schedule in the country than ours. I mean, we're gonna play seven, six, seven games at least against really great teams. Now there's an ACC site that is claiming that they believe they know the sec ACC matchups and that our game would be at home against NC State. That would be a huge disappointment, wouldn't it.

00:38:09
Speaker 7: Yes, Because it's with the CBS Classic and the Champions There's only so many times you could get North Carolina or Duke, and this is one of those years where you don't have either one of them.

00:38:17
Speaker 5: So I'm hopeful it's one of them. That would be a huge disappointment.

00:38:20
Speaker 6: If we if we could have gotten Duke here, Yeah, and we don't, And it's perfect because we could go there next year because it's two years we don't play him in the Champions Classic. If we don't get Duke and we get in C State, we who stinks that would be? That would be a big disappointment to me?

00:38:36
Speaker 2: Would you Duke never played at Upperina a little bit like the one time they can finally host Duke at RUP.

00:38:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we've never played there, have we?

00:38:44
Speaker 2: Not that I know of, we've ever played there.

00:38:46
Speaker 6: I mean, you have a chance to make that matchup just for the good of the sport. Don't you have to put it together?

00:38:51
Speaker 7: You think so, But you would get Will Wade and that manager with the gold chain had all the attention I know, but like.

00:38:58
Speaker 5: They're not even gonna be good. You cannot.

00:39:00
Speaker 6: If we're gonna do this ACC challenge, you got to put the best teams against each other. And we play Louisville every year, so we're not gonna play them North Carolin and Duke. We're gonna get them in these champions and CBS Classics, But we want to play those teams.

00:39:14
Speaker 5: Home and home.

00:39:15
Speaker 6: I want to play here against Duke. I want to go to Cameron Indoor and play there. That's what college basketball is. Us Playing Clemson on the road in NC State at home is not why you want to be in that class. No.

00:39:30
Speaker 7: I mean Clemson was a good team last year. Obviously could tell you lost that game, but there just wasn't that much excitement when the schedule came out, it was on. There wasn't much build up to it. Even after it happened. It's kind of yet moving on to whatever's now.

00:39:39
Speaker 6: Clearly you can do it because when we had the Big Twelve Challenge, we played Kansas all the time, right, even though they were in the Champions Classic. So why can't you do it?

00:39:47
Speaker 5: Hopefully the site's wrong, gotta be Duke.

00:39:49
