Speaker 2: Welcome back number two Kentucky Sports Radio Here next to the Athens exit off. What is that one? O? Three, one oh five. What is the one o eight one oh four, I'll get one of one something, keep saying it, I'll get it. Well, exit one oh four. We are here at the Cornbread Hemp farm. Member Cornbread Hemp has a new facility constructed in Louisville where they make their hemp products. But they grow it right here outside of Lexington, and they are harvesting it now. And you can certainly smell the hemp out here.

00:01:28
Speaker 3: Going from farm to jar right now, right in front of our eyes.

00:01:31
Speaker 2: It's right. This is they do this. How many times a year? Did you do this? Once? Once a year? This is a big day.

00:01:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, so' hold all the hemp plants on this flatbed truck. Then they take it to the lab and they then they make their corn bread gummies.

00:01:43
Speaker 2: Uh, somebody reminded me. I'll do one more Scottie Bassler story. When he was in Congress. Apparently he's known as being very frugal. Okay, you won't spend any money.

00:01:51
Speaker 3: That's a good word, not cheap, frugal, You're kind of frugal. Frugal.

00:01:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm not.

00:01:56
Speaker 3: I'm not live within my means, Yeah I'm not.

00:01:59
Speaker 2: I just don't want any. But I wouldn't say I'm frugal. Brian's frugal, your cheap skate. I'm absolutely frugal, so Scotty's. This is kind of funny. Though Scotty was so frugal. He slept on a cot in his office. He did not want to pay for an apartment in Washington, so he slept on a cot in his office while he was a congressman.

00:02:20
Speaker 1: That's why I want to be my congressman. I want a guy like that.

00:02:23
Speaker 2: You like you like that? Yeah? A guy who who is like you know what, sleeping on a cot?

00:02:28
Speaker 1: I mean, how perct is it? You go play basketball at four point thirty, then you go back to your chambers and sleep for the night.

00:02:34
Speaker 3: Have you ever slept at work before?

00:02:37
Speaker 2: Yeah? I slept at work when I was writing my book because I had a deadline and I had to finish it, and I would sleep. I didn't sleep at Simon and Schuster. That would have been weird, but I slept. I slept in the old Louisville radio building a couple of nights.

00:02:51
Speaker 3: Did you just wait a minute, did you sleep on the couch in the QMF studio?

00:02:54
Speaker 2: I did I would sleep Oh my gosh, well not in the QMF studio. I would sleep out there in that lobby you know, Areau in the back lobby, Okay, And I would sleep there. And when the last few days of writing the book, I did it. So yeah, I've done that before.

00:03:06
Speaker 1: I used to do that. Like if if there was a big snowstorm coming in an ice storm, they would make a lot of us at the TV station spend the night there because they're not going to.

00:03:14
Speaker 3: Get you a hotel room No.

00:03:17
Speaker 2: Eight twenty two eighty seven. Couple open calls, give us a shout let me. I want to talk ask you a question. So Arkansas John Caliperry, I've heard of him, in order to raise money for his inile. You may remember that their logo in the center of the court at Arkansas used to be a hog that was slobbering. Do you remember that huge they called a slobbering hog. So it would be a hog and there'd be there was like slobber coming out of its mouth. And I guess a few years ago Arkansas decided we need to be classier. We need to have a hog, but it needs to not be slobbery.

00:03:52
Speaker 3: A classy hog.

00:03:54
Speaker 2: They needed to have a classier hog, a non slobbering hog. Well, I think a lot of our Arkansas fans liked their hog to slopper. What are you laughing at?

00:04:07
Speaker 3: Continue?

00:04:08
Speaker 2: They wanted their hog slopper. It's what they like in Arkansas. So, John cal Perry, I guess they did something where some donor came and said, I will give five hundred thousand dollars to Arkansas in al if you will bring back the slabbering hall. Really yes, So, so I guess Arkansas, trying to seize an opportunity to raise money, has said that if this week they raised five hundred thousand dollars from fans, so it will match to a million dollars this year, their hog will slopper.

00:04:43
Speaker 3: What I got a follow up question for you?

00:04:45
Speaker 2: What is funny we're laughing about? So for one million dollars you can have your hog slabberd in in Arkansas.

00:04:54
Speaker 3: That's a lot of money for that.

00:04:56
Speaker 2: So my question for you is your it's not it's just.

00:05:05
Speaker 1: I'm not saying a word.

00:05:06
Speaker 2: My question for you is is there a Kentucky tradition or a Kentucky thing.

00:05:14
Speaker 3: I've already got an answer that you think.

00:05:16
Speaker 2: If we could raise could be the equivalent of a Kentucky hog slot.

00:05:20
Speaker 3: For five hundred thousand dollars. Can we bring back the wildcat with the phallic tongue and then the slobbring hog right next to it?

00:05:29
Speaker 1: If somebody's gonna give five hundred thousand for the phallic tongue wildcat.

00:05:35
Speaker 2: You want? You want him to be next teacher? Yeah? Okay, see before and after?

00:05:40
Speaker 1: Okay, did you take some gummies during the break or something?

00:05:45
Speaker 2: I was wondering where they win? Now I understand? Okay, So do you think UK? Because I knew your answer was going to be the old tongue?

00:05:54
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:05:56
Speaker 2: Could you see a world where UK agreed that if they raised a million dollars to bring back the old tongue? And would you want UK to do that? Because you would be like before it was unintentional, but now it would clearly be intentional.

00:06:16
Speaker 1: I of course would love it. But there is no way Mitch Barnhart would ever let that happen.

00:06:21
Speaker 2: No, he ever, No, he would not. So let's since we agree that wouldn't happen. Are there UK traditions of the past that you would like to see brought back. I think one people, a lot of people are gonna say the block k K, the power k helmet that that's really the one that people would want. Is there anything else in seven seven two seven seven four five two five four on the text machine? Is there anything else that was a UK tradition that has gone away that you would like to see comeback? Like the slobbery.

00:06:50
Speaker 3: Stickers on the court.

00:06:53
Speaker 2: No, no, you want the crooked stickers from Central Bank.

00:06:58
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm this personally dancing guy. I know we can't bring him back because he dropped a kid.

00:07:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gonna be hard to come back for dropping the child.

00:07:07
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Uh, trying to think of anything else that just comes to mind.

00:07:11
Speaker 2: I got one okay, what Doug they didn't bring of course, called flip off one student section. Yeah, come on, and then you can't come back?

00:07:22
Speaker 1: Come on?

00:07:22
Speaker 2: Where's forgiveness?

00:07:23
Speaker 3: And my blue coats doing that thing? Exactly?

00:07:28
Speaker 2: You're you're an older fan, Ryan, Uh. Is there anything you can think of that UK used to do that you think we ought to bring back?

00:07:36
Speaker 1: No, unless it's like, you know, just the the Chicago Bulls intro music. You know, Although I do like our intro music right now, But that was kind of a thing during the Patino era, and you guys hit the good one. The power K was gonna be my answer. I can't think of any more.

00:07:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know anymore either, But I do think it's interesting that they are having like a a resurgence of this old uh slobbering hog and that they're willing to for a million dollars bring it back.

00:08:02
Speaker 3: How much will we have to pay to get Tom Hammed and Larry Connley to do one more game? I love those two.

00:08:09
Speaker 1: Larry Conley health, Health's not good?

00:08:12
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I didn't know that.

00:08:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it would be cool with with Tom, Yeah, yeah.

00:08:17
Speaker 3: I loved him calling games. Jefferson Polot Sports.

00:08:20
Speaker 2: Oh, you like, maybe one game bring back the Jefferson Potots Sports logo, row back Night. You know that's actually a good one.

00:08:26
Speaker 1: So what if Pope wants to do a game in the denim uniforms? You forder against it for it?

00:08:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean one game in the denim uniforms. I think it would be fun to play. I think it would be cool if we play Saint John's in a couple of years in that game, have them come out in the in the in the denim uniforms, the uniforms from maybe our best team of all time.

00:08:47
Speaker 3: That's the most likely out of the ones we've suggested to happen.

00:08:49
Speaker 2: I actually think that would that would be kind of awesome. Yes, it would say, for one gay, especially if it was against Patino, bring back those ninety six denim uniforms. I would like that.

00:08:59
Speaker 3: If the internet existed back then, it would have blown up the internet. Yeah, you know, people seeing that for the first time. Okay, what if he wants to use the Icicle pants for a game.

00:09:08
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that too. Those for one game. Those would be really cool for one game, one game.

00:09:13
Speaker 2: The problem those years were that was our uniform the whole season, but for one game, the Icicle A lot of the Icicle pants were cool. I don't care what anybody says. They were cool.

00:09:23
Speaker 1: I think I hope they do that. Just bring back those pants for a game, Bring back the denim uniforms for a game. That's you know, that era is what we're trying and we've all been aerding to since they hired.

00:09:33
Speaker 2: We have a few of them. Bring back uh camp out. Yeah, I don't think they're not going to be able to do that on campus anymore because just of the way out of the building. But I still think the idea of that is a good one and they should find a place shon to do that. I don't understand why you can't do it on campus anymore, but you could do it, Honestly, you could do it in Rapperinas parking lot. Fans, to be quite frank with you, if you wanted to.

00:10:01
Speaker 3: Fans want that. Make Marsha the president and and make it happen.

00:10:05
Speaker 2: One person writes, how about bring back Ryan screaming at halftime?

00:10:09
Speaker 1: Oh? I lost that gig?

00:10:12
Speaker 2: Wild Cat wild Cat, wild Catina. Do you think you saying squirt to the ceiling was worth you losing the job?

00:10:26
Speaker 1: I thought it was a good line at the time of losing my job over I don't think so, because it wasn't referring to I was referring to the basketball bounced. So it was the night it was that day.

00:10:40
Speaker 2: Interview, so you could understand how UK might think you were connecting it to the interview that had happened earlier that day.

00:10:47
Speaker 1: They must not have watched the shot the kid took it hit the rim and bounced way up in the sky, squirted almost to the season.

00:10:54
Speaker 2: I don't think that was This is the most double entendreus segment that we have done in a long time. Who's next? Rick? The go ahead?

00:11:04
Speaker 4: Ron, Hey, I can tell you where to go this weekend. Okay, Battle of Perryville reenactment.

00:11:14
Speaker 2: I've been to that before. I have. It's cool, isn't it, I mean to me, Yeah, yeah, I mean I get I get it. But like, to me, a Civil War reenactment is kind of odd, just because it's like you have all these grown adults and they're almost like playing dungeons and dragons just outside but with coats on.

00:11:42
Speaker 3: It is it is.

00:11:45
Speaker 4: I found it kind of fascinating at one point because of reenactors. They actually kind of compete amongst themselves to see who's the most authentic some of ms actual identities of the people that were at the.

00:11:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I get it. I'm not trying. I mean, there are people for whom and I appreciate the call. There are people for whom that's like they love it. But there's just a little bit of sort of dressing up in those like uniforms and stuff. That just it doesn't really do it for me.

00:12:14
Speaker 1: You're right though, with the people that do it, they are one, all in and do it. They travel around the area doing these reenactments all over the place.

00:12:22
Speaker 3: And how long does this go on for? Is this like a twenty minute thing.

00:12:25
Speaker 2: That goes on as long as the battles so three to four months? Now it doesn't No, I mean they do it. It's over the course. Sometimes it'll be a week end. Yeah, sometimes it'll be the course of an afternoon or something.

00:12:37
Speaker 1: I don't know.

00:12:37
Speaker 3: If I commit it to an entire weekend, I might watch a few minutes of it though.

00:12:40
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh, Perryville's there was a battle there. Yes, that's why they do it there. There was a battle there eight five to nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.

00:13:41
Speaker 1: Wowow yeah, good point there.

00:13:44
Speaker 3: It is a good one.

00:13:45
Speaker 1: What a novel idea?

00:13:46
Speaker 2: I do like that one.

00:13:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, win in March.

00:13:48
Speaker 2: That's a really good one. One person writes, how about the checkerboards?

00:13:52
Speaker 3: No, no, no.

00:13:56
Speaker 2: No. As a matter of fact, one person says, what are the traditions you wouldn't want to bring back? That one's up there.

00:14:02
Speaker 3: That's probably number one.

00:14:05
Speaker 1: The pants that go down past your knees.

00:14:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I liked them, but I think a lot of people hated when we wore silver that one time year game. Yeah, remember the crown like the silver basketball uniforms that was against Michigan State State. Yeah, one person rights. Matt Civil War reenactments are like uk U of L games. They're boring because you already know who's gonna win. Some strong tweets coming in the day, you know what I gotta say, that's what those are pretty good. Two pretty good tweets going back to back before we go to the phone. Remember we talked about the Diego Garcia island. I talked about that, didn't like there was a dispute. Did you see they settled it this morning because you talked about on the show Crazy. They sailed it this morning. Britain has agreed to give back the island to mar Idis or whatever the country is, to allow the people to come back to the island, the descendants, and they have agreed to let the USA keep their military base. But for the first time in like fifteen years, Britain is voluntarily giving it up. And this was right after we talked about it yesterday or two days ago. They are voluntarily giving it up, but the US will be able to keep their military base, so see bring it up. People say KSR curse. This was a KSR bonus. As soon as we mentioned it. They fixed this thing that's been going for ten years.

00:15:29
Speaker 3: Very peaceful ending there. I'm glad that we were able to work it out. They were able to come back to their island. We can keep our people there.

00:15:34
Speaker 2: So they're gonna be able to come back if they have proof that they are descendants. If they want to, they will be allowed to return the island. And I will tell you when we talked about it a couple of days ago, the amount of our listeners that wrote me that have been stationed on that island, it had to be at least fifteen listeners who told me they've been stationed, which means there have been a I mean think about just in our listening back fifteen. So think about how many people United States citizens must have been stationed there. And yet I'd never heard of the place. Apparently, like no journalist had ever been at the place. So it's crazy that like so many people had been there.

00:16:14
Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw the same. We got a textra tweeted from somebody and said it's beautiful too, like the island is no it.

00:16:21
Speaker 2: Has it's supposed to have. They took pictures of it in that BBC store. It's supposed to have some of the most beautiful blue water, like the clearest blue water in the world. Because there's not been a lot of pollution because people haven't lived there except for the military.

00:16:39
Speaker 3: It hasn't been tampered with. It hasn't been tampered like all the other oceans and different parts of the world out there.

00:16:45
Speaker 1: So now that the people have it back, do they can they commercialize it or is there still.

00:16:50
Speaker 2: No because it's still a military base.

00:16:53
Speaker 3: So like, I don't think you can go on a cruise the Yeah, I don't.

00:16:55
Speaker 2: Think you're gonna be able to go on a cruise and go to our nuclear warships there. Up next, Shane is up next, Shane, Go ahead, Shane.

00:17:05
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, I heard that you were plugging in some weekend events, so I wanted to see if I could talk about one in summer.

00:17:11
Speaker 6: Second time.

00:17:12
Speaker 2: You can do one if it's very quickly.

00:17:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, So this Saturday, summer second Ducky Cumberling con it's a paranormal comic book convention.

00:17:22
Speaker 2: Okay, right there, I got a questions. What's it called? Again. Okay, what's it called Cumberland con Cumberland Con. You're so you all are having a paranormal convention in Somerset.

00:17:34
Speaker 5: Yeah. So it's a paranormal and comic book convention. It's kind of like two worlds combining from eleven to seven and Somerset High School.

00:17:43
Speaker 2: So I've been to comic book conventions. Tell me what a paranormal convention is.

00:17:49
Speaker 5: It's a great question. So it is where you can have people can express their love of cryptics, their love of things that are paranormal. But also we're gonna have special guests. People have craft vendors, paranormal vendors where people have So.

00:18:07
Speaker 2: When you say paranormal, is this like these are ghosts, right or or monsters?

00:18:12
Speaker 5: Well, they could be ghosts, cryptics. There's a little bit of the you know, the horror nature in it too, you know.

00:18:19
Speaker 2: So these are people who will come and talk about having seen ghosts or cryptics or whatever.

00:18:26
Speaker 5: We do have some people in our panels that will be talking about some of that stuff.

00:18:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, can we bring the ghost of Scout Scottie Bassler have them to speak there?

00:18:35
Speaker 2: Okay, all right? So and where where in Somerset? Is this.

00:18:40
Speaker 5: So it's at Somerset High schools at.

00:18:43
Speaker 4: The high school.

00:18:45
Speaker 2: The high school, let you all in. I know it's amazing, all right, Well, there you go, Somerset High School.

00:18:53
Speaker 3: What's your favorite cryptoid, Matt.

00:18:56
Speaker 2: I don't know.

00:18:56
Speaker 3: I don't know, like like Bigfoot, the moth Man.

00:18:59
Speaker 2: You I don't believe. I appreciate you call that's enough. I you know, I don't believe in any goes. So I certainly don't believe in Bigfoot except cash flow on Paramount Tulsa King season two. I don't believe in any of that stuff because it's all fake. So I would show up at the convention and go, you all know none of this is real, right, Like you can like it, but it's all fake.

00:19:25
Speaker 3: We got the Popelic Monster Fest in Louisville.

00:19:27
Speaker 2: What is the pope Lick Monster That is?

00:19:30
Speaker 3: You know that train track that goes like it's up in the sky and it goes across the Popelic Park. You know what I'm talking about.

00:19:38
Speaker 2: Where's Pope Lick Park?

00:19:41
Speaker 3: Taylor'sville Road? There you go, thank you, Eric.

00:19:43
Speaker 2: Taylorsville Road. Yeah, so there's a train track and it's supposed to have a monster on.

00:19:47
Speaker 3: There's a monster that lures people up there, and then they go up there, and then this train comes across and they fall like fifty feet from the sky from this train track. And so there's been a lot of deaths there there.

00:19:59
Speaker 2: You think though they're might have been a lot of death because unfortunately people may be committed suicide.

00:20:03
Speaker 3: No, you think it was the Pope monster lured them up there.

00:20:07
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well that's a shame. I don't want to hear about the.

00:20:10
Speaker 3: Danemic voices to make it sound like somebody like Matt come up here, sneaky little monster.

00:20:16
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?

00:20:17
Speaker 1: Looking up?

00:20:19
Speaker 3: You think I'm making this up?

00:20:21
Speaker 2: Yes, I completely make you think you're making it.

00:20:23
Speaker 3: Look at the on Wikipedia.

00:20:25
Speaker 2: See that's what happens, Mario, That's what happens when you're in a bye week. Shannon ends up talking about popelic monsters. Mixed voices, MI, mixed voices. That's completely made up. See we've been we've this field. I knew when you all start harvedsteing it the smell, I knew it was going to have an effect on Shannon. Who's next? Mike is up next?

00:20:44
Speaker 7: Mike, Go ahead, Mike, Hey, guys. Something that I missed from back in the day is I know this might be kind of unpopular. I missed the old rapperina letters around the finer circle that spelled Rupperenakish.

00:21:01
Speaker 2: Yeah so yeah, it used to around the center circle is now a UK logo, correct? And it used to be a circle that said rupp Arena. And why did you like that more?

00:21:13
Speaker 7: I don't know. It's just a nostalgic thing, just taken back to my childhood when I first started watching Kentucky games, and it's more of a comfort thing, I guess.

00:21:22
Speaker 2: Okay, I understand that we.

00:21:24
Speaker 7: Have a thing. The other thing I wouldn't necessarily bring back. It's just more of a good memory. But back in the days when you had to watch games on pate delay.

00:21:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if we'd bring that back watch the games on tape doay? Yeah, I appreciate the call. What do you think about having a game where you had the court look like it did back then?

00:21:42
Speaker 1: We you know, I think they've got that center circle. Is it out in the.

00:21:45
Speaker 2: It's out in the lobby lobby?

00:21:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I always petitioned we should have gotten Big Bertha to hang over that center court.

00:21:51
Speaker 2: Big Bertha was such an ugly it was so ugly.

00:21:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, they're selling parts of the old court.

00:21:57
Speaker 2: So you can buy parts of the old This is not the court we used for one game to lose to un C Wilmington is.

00:22:03
Speaker 3: No, But the new one looks just like that one. That's the one they're gonna be using this, So.

00:22:07
Speaker 2: You can buy the court that was used for how.

00:22:09
Speaker 3: Many years since two thousand and one?

00:22:11
Speaker 2: Since two thousand and one. Yeah, so that's a court that's had a lot of Oh yeah's people play there. I'm selling that right now because they will finally have the new court without the crooked logos and the loss to U and C wilbeton.

00:22:23
Speaker 1: Well, we're all and one on that court, right We used it one game, we lost to Wilmington and didn't use it again.

00:22:28
Speaker 2: What did they end up doing with that, like after they had them because they only played one game on it, what did they end up rolling.

00:22:33
Speaker 3: Into the wood chip or where it belonged?

00:22:35
Speaker 1: Put it back in storage.

00:22:37
Speaker 2: That was one of the great like failures of all time was bringing out a.

00:22:41
Speaker 1: Court, brand new court, debut at.

00:22:43
Speaker 2: Brand new court logos crooked and then they go and lose to U and C willbey.

00:22:48
Speaker 3: According to some accounts, the Public Monster uses hypnosis and voice mimicry to lower trespassers onto the trestle to meet their death before an oncoming train.

00:22:58
Speaker 2: And in Louisville. And you believe that, I mean it's on. If it's on the internet, then it might. It must it most certainly must be true. I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Kentucky Basketball Day is media or is Kentucky Media Day is next week? And then some new predictions on the SEC basketball standings are out. We'll tell you where people think Kentucky is gonna be. That's next right here on Kentucky Sports Radio Live at the Cornbread Hemp Farm. Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. Reminder. We will be at Shady Rays tomorrow in Lexington. Great We're in Lexington next two weeks at Shady Rays and then our big pre Big Blue Madness Show is at Kentucky Branded next Friday. But tomorrow at Shady Rays. Love to come out. It's gonna be always a fun gig out there. I have to say we today's show has been slow on callers, and I don't know why. Like I was willing to take more than than I normally do so eight I'm nine, two eighth twenty two eighty seven. But has been great on tech. One of our better days on the text machine. All right, so let me give it through a few of these One person rights, Matt. My wedding ring is made out of a piece of the old rough floor from the seventies and eighties. My wife got a piece and put it in my wedding ring.

00:24:16
Speaker 3: That's pretty cool. That, Like, that's amazing.

00:24:20
Speaker 2: How would you do that?

00:24:21
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Get a little piece of it and.

00:24:24
Speaker 3: A little splinter of it. That's interesting.

00:24:26
Speaker 1: You know they've they've made ink pens out of parts of the floor.

00:24:30
Speaker 2: Yes, I have one now. One guy always used to UH to bring him. One person rights, Matt. It's not a UK tradition, but I'd like to get back to the SEC Basketball Tournament being played in different places every year. Do you agree with that?

00:24:42
Speaker 1: I do kind of agree with that, whether you just rotate it Atlanta, Tampa, Dallas, Saint Louis.

00:24:48
Speaker 2: I was always very big on it being in Nashville every year, but I have to say the change in what Nashville is now is making it to where I'm more and more thinking I wish it would rotate a little bit because now, you know, it used to be that the SEC tournament in Nashville, the Kentucky fans took over the city. But now there are so many people in Nashville every weekend, so many parties, so much like you, it can't happen. So when you go, there's still a lot of UK fans, but it doesn't feel like it's our place anymore. It feels like we're sharing it with bros from a and you know, bachelorette parties and so Shannon, I I would I was a big advocate of doing it in Nashville every year, but now I kind of wish we had some variety to be hore.

00:25:38
Speaker 3: The good thing about it being in Nashville is the proximity of like where the arena is tight, broadways, very go hang out there, and it's all close together. When we were in Saint Louis or in Tampa, it was all kind of spread out and it didn't have the same feeling to it. I like Nashville, but I understand also moving in around to different.

00:25:55
Speaker 2: Cities, it's a tough call because you're exactly right, Like Tampa is spread out, so that's not quite as good Atlanta. I like when it's there. I think it could be there again. I actually liked Saint Louis. It was better than I thought it would be, too.

00:26:11
Speaker 3: But it's just how many more years do we have Nashville.

00:26:14
Speaker 2: Like till twenty thirty one or two, and then they just haven't said yet. There's one year it's in Dallas, but.

00:26:21
Speaker 1: He used to be in New Orleans every two or three years.

00:26:23
Speaker 2: I like that. I enjoyed that as well. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, one person writes, Now, how about this question, Matt. Now, with AI, we are able to recreate people's voices, would you think it would be cool if we could use AI to recreate Kwood Ledford calling the game? Yes? Now that's probably doable. Yeah, I mean you would maybe not today, but you would have to have someone say what's happening and then it go through Kwood Ledford's VOI do you think that would be cool to have k Wood Ledford AI call a game? That's that blows your mind, But I actually think that's something that could be doable in the near future.

00:27:11
Speaker 3: Can we put like a k Wood filter on Tom Leech's voice and make whatever Thom is saying go in k Wood's voice?

00:27:17
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, let's say you could. Yeah, would you want that?

00:27:21
Speaker 3: I think maybe one time it would be cool.

00:27:23
Speaker 1: I'd want to have like maybe Tom and k would do a game together. Wouldn't that be awesome? Let him call a game side by side? Well, what if you did k Wood and Ralph Hacker.

00:27:33
Speaker 2: Back?

00:27:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, for one game? For one game?

00:27:38
Speaker 3: It is kind of creepy, it's also kinda cool.

00:27:41
Speaker 2: First of all, let's say this. Somebody's gonna do that, right, somebody's gonna do that for a game at some point, somebody's gonna bring back like Madden in Summer all or something.

00:27:51
Speaker 3: The question is, could you do it live or would you have to go back and like, you know, overdub it like voice.

00:27:58
Speaker 2: I bet you there'll be a day you could do it where the person says it and it just comes out in Kywood's voice.

00:28:05
Speaker 1: Technology may not be there right now to do it. Lot.

00:28:07
Speaker 2: Jim Hagden, I can tell, is baffled by that. It's hard. It's hard to think about that. It would be interesting, though, Like would if you could hear Kaywood Ledford call the night the twenty twelve National Championship game.

00:28:23
Speaker 3: It's dangerous too though. It is because like if I could take your boys and make you say anything out.

00:28:29
Speaker 2: Oh, I think that's awful for society long term. Yeah, I mean have you seen like they're like people are doing this with Joe Biden or Donald Trump's voice and they're putting it on things he didn't say, and like you, you can't really tell unless someone tells you it's fake. But then I think what's gonna happen is people are gonna get caught saying things and then they'll say it's fake, and there's no way to show that it's not.

00:28:55
Speaker 3: You're not gonna be able to believe anything you see.

00:28:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, that worries me for the future.

00:28:59
Speaker 1: We'll ask you a question, Well, if you had a chance, they said you can have k Wood on your show, and they do it through AI where you're going to talk to k Wood on the show.

00:29:07
Speaker 3: But it's not really his mind. It's just as pol so.

00:29:09
Speaker 2: If I was interviewing Kwood, I would want to talk your Shandon's right, I would want to talk to Kwood's mind. I don't need to talk to a replica of him. I think that's a little different than calling the game, where it's more about the cadence of his voice and what he's saying than his mind. So no, I don't want to interview Ji Kwood.

00:29:33
Speaker 3: And an answer from somebody else's thoughts.

00:29:35
Speaker 2: But I think hearing him call a game would be unique interesting. So this is again something about this setting has led us to have conversations like this, Who's next? Mike is next? Mike? Go ahead and Mike. What's doing good?

00:29:56
Speaker 8: H in County for their for their country Ham Festival or whatever?

00:30:04
Speaker 2: Yes, we all, we all were there, Yes, all right, Well y'all need to.

00:30:09
Speaker 8: Come to Western get down the big city of Katy's in Tri County. We have a big ham festival every year.

00:30:18
Speaker 2: Well, they have to bring us. Marion County brought us to the Ham Festival, so Trick County would have to do that. Yes, we we definitely. We go where people bring us most of the time.

00:30:31
Speaker 8: All right, well, I'll have to talk I know the.

00:30:33
Speaker 2: Mayor real well, oh dropping name Shannon.

00:30:40
Speaker 8: I'm not y'all tell you that he's an undertaker, but.

00:30:45
Speaker 2: He's not. He is both. He's both the mayor of Katies and the undertaker in the county.

00:30:52
Speaker 8: Well, he is one undertaker. He owns He owns his own funeral.

00:30:57
Speaker 2: Interesting wonder if there's a conflict of interest there. He both knows them when they're alive and then and then he gets them when they die. All right, well, sorry, joy your new Ham festival. Okay, since all right, well there you go enjoy your moderately old Ham Festival. And I appreciate it. I appreciate the call. I got it. I got it. He didn't give me the date, but I still got it. Who's next?

00:31:25
Speaker 1: Nancy?

00:31:26
Speaker 2: Is next? Nancy? How are you? Nancy?

00:31:29
Speaker 9: I'm good, guys. How are you all?

00:31:31
Speaker 2: Do it? Amazing?

00:31:32
Speaker 5: Okay?

00:31:33
Speaker 9: So I was going about sometime in August. I was traveling to Spencer, North Carolina, and they took me through Middlesbrough. I can't remember ever going through Middlesbrough, but it was very nice. I'm like, oh, this is where Matt Jones is from. This is beautiful there, absolutely beautiful. Maybe I went there as a kid, I don't know.

00:31:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is beautiful and you go right through and the downtown is there.

00:31:56
Speaker 3: That's a big sign that says home with Matt Jones.

00:31:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, sometime bout once a week somebody will take their picture with it and send it to me. That's always very nice.

00:32:04
Speaker 5: Okay.

00:32:05
Speaker 9: So I'm just sitting here and you all are just making me crack up with everything going on over there. So maybe I need to get some cornbread.

00:32:13
Speaker 2: Certainly will make you laugh. I think that's fair to say.

00:32:16
Speaker 4: Okay, you have a great day.

00:32:18
Speaker 2: Appreciate ith seven. I want to tell a quick story before we go to break. So if you were on Twitter last night, you may have seen there was a guy. He's like a police officer, and he wrote responded to one of my tweets and did one of those like Matt Jones, I like you for Kentucky sports, but stick to sports. Don't be telling me what you think about politics kind of things, right, Yeah, And I did what if I'm in a salty mood sometimes I do, which is retweet it and say basically some form of no. Okay, turns out he was he was a cop. Okay, he was a police And I'm not gonna say where because I don't want everybody to get get frustrated with the guy. But so he and I like go back and forth for a minute while I'm watching the Braves and Padres on Twitter, and then I just decided because people were being mean to him, and I thought they were being too mean to him, so I decided to write him privately. And I wrote him privately and we had back and forth on direct message, probably for forty five minutes, a conversation where I sort of told him about my perspective on a couple of things and he talked about his, and it was very like, very respectful. He said that one of the things I said actually made him think about something he did a little bit differently, and when it was over, he actually thanked me for the conversation. I went back and deleted the tweet because I wanted people to stop being like rude and mean to him. And it occurred to me in talking to him, I mean, this is a dude that if if you went on his account, it's like all Trump, all Maga, all this, and everybody knows what I think. But it reminded me of what we said about the vice presidential debate, Like away from that world, it was fine. And not only that we talked and had a difference of views, we talked about it. He said he might have changed his mind on something. He actually made me think about something differently, and it just reminded me something that will be very easy to forget over the next thirty days. We all have more in common than we have a part, and we all are much better versions of ourself offline or in my case, in private messages with somebody than in public when you're trying to dunk on someone. And Ryan, I just felt like I should share that because some of you that were online you would have seen that conversation. It was a good example of we should give people. As I've said before on this show, give people the benefit of the doubt that you would like them to give to you.

00:34:54
Speaker 3: It's very well said.

00:34:55
Speaker 2: It's a very simple thing. Yeah, but just give people the benefit of the doubt that you would like them to give to you. And if you do that, I actually think it's a lot better.

00:35:04
Speaker 1: That's the way it should be. And I'm glad you shared that story because we don't hear those sides of the story. We usually hear the right that side of the story.

00:35:11
Speaker 2: So it's good.

00:35:12
Speaker 1: You know, you can be the way that it's supposed to be debate.

00:35:15
Speaker 3: And in life when you're having a conversation. You never have the same conversations you have in public on Twitter or again.

00:35:22
Speaker 2: This is another thing I've started saying that. I think it's true, whatever your weakness is, whatever it is, you're a worst version of yourself online. If your weakness is anger, or if your weakness is sensitive, whatever your weakness is, you are the worst version of yourself online. Huh. And I think that's true for me. I think it's probably true for everybody. And it was a good reminder of that.

00:35:46
Speaker 1: But then you go to private messages and you having just to.

00:35:48
Speaker 2: Just try to try to be here the person you are in life when you are online. I actually think that's a good way to go if you're looking for a great new home where you and some people just suck on and off. But that's not But I don't think that's everybody. If you're looking for a great new home where you'll enjoy watching the games, how about Bluegrass home Center Bluegrass home Center dot com multisection manufactured homes two three, four, five bedrooms.

Speaker 2: Billy's sitting right over there and he's a Tampa Bay fan. I'm taking Tampa Bay. He won the hay Baale contest. He's gonna win the game night, Liam Cohen, Baker, Mayfield and Billy get the victory. Brewers Mets Game three, winner take all moves on. Game is in New York, which is weird because normally, really I think, so isn't that right? They played two games? Or do they play all the games? So it's in Milwaukee a right, So all the games are in Milwaukee, So who you.

00:38:00
Speaker 3: I don't think it matters where they play it. The Mets are gonna win. They've been the hottest team in the last six weeks.

00:38:05
Speaker 1: I go Mets and go the under. Usually, you know, the deciding games they're always under Is that true?

00:38:10
Speaker 2: Are you just saying that?

00:38:11
Speaker 1: I think I'm just saying that.

00:38:11
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I'm gonna take I did not sound like a stat I've ever heard. I'm gonna take the Mets as well. They've been hot.

00:38:19
Speaker 1: You need to say one thing, But can I say one more thing about baseball if you want? The Detroit Tigers are kind of the surprise team right now. They're starting short stuffs from Louisville. Yeah, we talked about not knowing anyone. Their starting shortstop is from Louisville. What's his name, Ray Sweeney? Trey Sween.

00:38:33
Speaker 2: His dad John listens to this show. He's probably I'm sorry I missed your son. I'm now pulling for the Tigers because of you. John KSR. Listener's kid. Yeah, playing go Tigers. I like them anyway because they're an underdog team, haven't been in the playoffs and like everybody, who's next? Ryan is up next? Ryan? Go ahead, Ryan.

00:38:53
Speaker 6: Man, I'm gonna go quick. I know you don't have a lot of time. My first question, I got one question then something about Kentucky. Why do we not have table games? We have two places that have slots on papolo Heim on downtown. They got sports gambling. How come we don't have table games in Kentucky?

00:39:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly here, we we should. We should, There's no logical reason not to. But I would go say, look who pays for the packs in in the in the Kentucky legislature, and there you'll get your answer.

00:39:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, I understand that. But they got sports game I mean sports gaming too, and.

00:39:27
Speaker 2: I agree agree they should have it. They should have it. What's your other one? Here's the here's the other question.

00:39:32
Speaker 6: I don't remember when Kentucky spent on national TV three times.

00:39:37
Speaker 2: In a row. Correct.

00:39:38
Speaker 6: I'm uh, you know you talk you talk about you know, ABC, and I don't remember that. It's got to be good for recruiting. We got to be we need to support coach Toops. I'm one of the guys that running down like everybody else. But uh, I get on here and forget what I gotta say. I got one hundred things.

00:39:58
Speaker 2: That's okay, go on. I appreciate the call. The new ESPN TV deal has been great for Kentucky football. We've had three games on network television now of the first five that would never have happened on any other TV deal and last week, first of all, the Kentucky Georgia game, which we almost won, was the most watched game in college football. That week, the Kentucky Old miss game, which we did win, was the third most watched game in college football. Kentucky Football's got more eyeballs on it in the last three weeks. Two very good performances than we've probably had in years. And Ryan, that's cause of the new TV.

00:40:33
Speaker 1: And the college right. That helps recruiting tremendously. You're on national television and you play well, and you upset some of the six ranke team in the country at absolutely gets you lost.

00:40:41
Speaker 2: Sorry, Ole Missus final Drive where we held them. Seven point five million people were watching that only one game all day. George, Alabama had more people watching a moment in the game than that one. You cannot tell me that's not good for the UK football program. Who's next, Corey, Corey?

00:40:59
Speaker 10: Go ahead, court, Hey my first time, long time?

00:41:03
Speaker 2: Who are.

00:41:06
Speaker 10: Just got a couple of things say about the DraftKings done a five dollars bet for the first time this week, got the two hundred three put twenty five on Ya's parlay and hit big.

00:41:15
Speaker 2: Look at that congratulation. You picked a good week to do the first one because we lost all the other ones. But we'll do go do another one tomorrow.

00:41:24
Speaker 10: Also, if y'all haven't been knock coming, he's got a trailer ride going on a horse trailer ride. They have two a year, the five ones this week, the other ones in the spring, the same weekend as the Kentucky Derby.

00:41:36
Speaker 2: Interesting, so you can go and get on a horse and they'll have the horse.

00:41:41
Speaker 10: It's just a bunch of people comes in from different states. They usually have five ten thousand people with horses up.

00:41:47
Speaker 2: There's horse. We'll enjoy it, enjoy it not and Caddy, I hate to cut you off. I gotta go break, but nice to hear from you, and congrats on your hit. All right, Tomorrow we are at Shady Rays correct, come on out, Sunglass, all of us will be that.
