Speaker 3 (00:59):
Welcome to our two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by
Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones waterback.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
It is our number two here at Kentucky Sports Radio
eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven
at Chos Bar and Grill. You know, we sell food
here at Chaos Bar and Grill, but sometimes people bring.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
Us other food as well.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
Jeff's Donuts over here just brought us donuts for all
the Owen County students and they are eating it up
right for lunch. They're gonna spoil dead lunch if they're
not careful, but still it's still good.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Our mothers would not like that, would we eating a
sweet before lunch? You're gonna spoil your dinners?

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Always ask why they would say that. It just means
I'll eat more. It's not gonna spoil anything. Drew.

Speaker 6 (01:39):
You know, yeah, aren't you mister sweets for breakfast over here.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
I love a good donut, and I love Jeff's Donuts.
They're very good.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
They are very very good. Eight five nine two eight
oh twenty two eighty seven. Let's go over a couple
things here before we get going. Vince Merrow has interviewed
for the Bowling green Head coach job. You know, usually
you get through, you get through January and you get
through the possible coaching switches and the where is Vince

(02:05):
Merrill looking? But because Bowling Green's coach went to work
for an NFL team, they have a job. I've kind
of heard that it's very unlikely Bowling Green could afford
to take a you know, somebody making what Vince does,
but you know, totally understand why you would do that
if it were to come up. I think those jobs

(02:27):
drew are not what they once were because of innil.
I mean, at school like Bowling Green, if you develop anybody,
they're gone. So I mean, I think, actually think those
jobs are not as attractive as they once were. I
think if you want to go to a school like that,
now you got to be like this is where I
want to coach forever because it makes it's just very
hard with you. You just can't keep players.

Speaker 6 (02:48):
And with this one in particular, whoever gets that job,
you're in a tough spot. Just getting hired right as
springball is starting. I mean, I'm sure the roster is
what it is, but their coach just left last week.
I think he went to the Eagles, So I mean,
with Vince, it's probably gonna be a pay cut no
matter what. You also have to consider how hard it
will be to kind of get going now the march
is already here.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
I mean, I understand why that dude would have taken
a job with the Eagles.

Speaker 5 (03:10):
But at the same time, that's kind.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Of a terrible thing to do to your players, right, Like,
all of your players have already decided to come, and
you got a lot of people to transfer in and
then you just leave.

Speaker 5 (03:22):
Like, that's gotta be a hard situation.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
I think that's why this is. This is so odd
to have a coaching search like this right here, right
before spring football starts. This is kind of an odd
time of year for it to happen.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
But I mean, he took a job yeap with the Eagles,
and that's what it is which brings me the second thing.
Jay Lucas gets the job with Miami. Former Kentucky assistant
coach now duke coach. We've talked many times about what
he means to this show, but what he is leaving
the team before the NCAA tournament. He is leaving after

(03:56):
the Carolina game Saturday, And when they gave us but
a statement about it, he was like, look, with the
transfer portal, I gotta go get a roster gotta be ready.
He was like, and if Duke goes to the championship game,
transfer season is gonna be going for two or three weeks.
He said, I owe it to Miami to go, and

(04:17):
as far as Duke, they don't need a half attention
assistant coach. I've never heard of a coach leaving before
the NCAA tournament, but Drew, I kind of understand why
he has to do it, don't you.

Speaker 6 (04:31):
Yeah, weird circumstances here. I mean, they're not just in
the tournament, they're one of the tournament favorites of one seed.
You'd think you'd want to see that through. But I
completely understand just what I was saying about football. You
don't want to get a late start on your first
season as a coach somewhere, So I can understand why
he'd want to get to Miami as quickly as possible.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
How would you feel, Ryan if Alvin Brooks or Jason
Hart here or at Kentucky was to say I'm leaving
right before the NCAA tournament.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Think and if he goes to a school in our
conference like Lucas is doing, I think you in the conference,
you little betrayed you know, I think you know you're
you're you're one of us right now, So act do
you blame me? I honestly, you don't know what else
he's supposed to do with the transfer portal that makes
the difference in the world right there. He has to
be on top of that to build his roster for next.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
Year, because I mean, presumably he's gonna have to get
a whole new roster. So it's just a weird situation.
But I get it. I do. I get why he
would have to do that.

Speaker 6 (05:26):
Yeah, if it happened here, I wouldn't blame it at all,
completely understand, and I would think that, you know, no
disrespect to assistance. They do good work, but it shouldn't
affect you too much if one of them had to
step away right as the tournament starting.

Speaker 5 (05:36):
One person rights Matt.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
I am determined with my wife that we're gonna go
to the first and second round wherever it is. We're
gonna that way, we can visit a new city and
we're gonna make that a thing we do every year.
Wherever the first and second round for Kentucky is, that's
where we're going. So where do you think we're gonna go.
I was looking at this. This is kind of how
I think it plays out. If we beat Missouri then

(06:00):
and I think we will end up in either Milwaukee
or Providence. If we lose to Missouri, I think we'll
end up in either Providence or Denver.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
So I think Providence.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
If you were making a bet, I'd say Providence Rhode
Island is the best bet. But I think win, you
might add Milwaukee. Lose, you might add Denver. That's kind
of how I look at.

Speaker 6 (06:22):
The new Bractology just came out and then already moved
us to the four in the West. I do not
want that, but uh, maybe if you went on Saturday
and get out.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Of that four in the West, go to Seattle.

Speaker 6 (06:32):
Yeah, or doesn't he didn't have the cities for the
first round. It's just the how do we move? That's
what I'm wondering. He's got us drop into the thirteenth seed,
but we won completely agree. Wait about five minutes ago.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Who won? Who did he move ahead of us to
the eleven or the twelve?

Speaker 6 (06:49):
Saint John's is the twelve, but I thought he had
the eleven them as the eleven before, So.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
Well, who's ahead? Did somebody get a big win. Who's
at eleven or ten or something like that.

Speaker 6 (06:57):
Ten's A and M. Well, I guess the B A
and M, then.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
A, Yeah, because A and M beat UT.

Speaker 6 (07:03):
Yeah, Well then John's so.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
We got passed by A and M, and A and
M is gonna beat LSU probably on set. That's another one.
If you want to root for the best thing for Kentucky,
you probably want to root LSU to pull off.

Speaker 5 (07:14):
The upset at home against A and M. So there
you go. So that would move us.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
Still, though, even if we were the four in the West,
I still think Drew we would end up in Denver.
We wouldn't end up in Seattle if we were the first.

Speaker 6 (07:25):
That will change if you beat Missouri and you know
you'll go up, and if you lost to Missouri you're
gonna end up before Anyway, I still think you win
a couple in the SEC, and you if you beat Missouri,
win a couple there. One of the big teams you
can get all up to. Heck, if you be like
a Florida or Tennessee, maybe you get all the way
up to two.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
So Providence, Milwaukee, and Denver. How do you feel about
those cities?

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Uh, we've been to Denver a couple of times. You
know both the KSR curse in Denver, so I'm okay
with that one. I've never been to either one Milwaukee
or Providence to Milwaukee.

Speaker 6 (07:50):
Never been.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
I think Milwaukee for listeners, and I think Milwaukee is
the coolest city that people don't think is a cool city.

Speaker 7 (07:59):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
Anyway, we're close to here, Like like if I were
to say Milwaukee, you wouldn't think that's a cool place.
But it's got like, it's got some nice nature areas.
There's a lot of golf courses that are very close
to it, a lot of breweries in Milwaukee, nice little
area just north of downtown that has a ton of
bars and is a really cool like scene.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
I actually think Milwaukee's kind of a cool place.

Speaker 6 (08:22):
When we did this exercise a few weeks ago and
ranked our cities, I had Milwaukee in Denver at one
and two. I've been to Milwaukee for a weekend, had
an absolute blast there. I'm hoping that's the case now.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
Providence, on the other hand, I don't know, man, but
that's the kind of city I like to go to
because I can guarantee you there'll never be a day
in my life that I say, I want to go
to Providence like ever, and so if I end up there,
you know, it might rhyand it might be the only
time we ever get to do it.

Speaker 5 (08:49):
Well.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
I thought that way about Boise. I said, I'm never
gonna be in Boise, Idaho ever again. And yet we
all really really enjoyed our trip out to Boise.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
Yeah, and for the NCAA tournament, you're there three or
four days hopefully, so you get He.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Did say something that makes a difference for me. You said, Milwaukee,
it's kind of walkable where the arena is. That could
be cold.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Yeah, I mean it might be cold up there, depending
on how it goes. Who's up next, Chad? Chad? How
are you? Chad? Right?

Speaker 7 (09:16):
A great first time Colin who was Colin was calling
to peeback of what you guys were talking about earlier.
Elton Scott out of Marion County was one of the
best players I've ever seen.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Played with Anthony Apps, and then Elton Scott went Anthony
Apps went to Kentucky. That's right, yes, sir.

Speaker 7 (09:34):
We also talked about Dante Allen. Dante Smith was his
father at North hard and he didn't get missed the basketball,
but he was amazing and they went on to play
College Boss too, and I think Elton ended up in
West Virginia after top forty eight in Louisville. Last thing
I wanted to say if I could, is, after watching Missouri,
I feel like I feel really good.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
About that win.

Speaker 7 (09:55):
I feel like we can go into Missouri, get away
in and keep that momentum going into the tournament. And
I don't want to play Tennessee three times. I'm so
sick with Zigler.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
You know, are you let me ask you that? Would
you what would you think about playing Tennessee again? Are
you if you saw that in the bracket? I appreciate
the call. Would you feel confident playing Tennessee again? Brillant?

Speaker 6 (10:15):
I mean looking at them as a top tier team.
If it's Tennessee, Florida, Auburn, or Alabama, I want Tennessee
every time. I know they say it's hard to win
three games against the team in one season, but I
just feel like they can't score enough points against Kentucky.
Even if Kentucky's not defending that well, Tennessee just struggles offensively.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Tennessee is the best defensive team in the country and
yet somehow in both games, Kentucky's found a way to beat,
you know, score the basketball. So they've got they got
a little magic mojo, I think with Tennessee. So they
don't scare me. We got to play them a third time.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, who's up next?

Speaker 8 (10:45):
Let's go to Bubba Bubba?

Speaker 4 (10:48):
Go ahead?

Speaker 9 (10:49):
Any first time? Long time? Who said earlier the kid
from Trinity you pronounced his name? It was Nathan Goodoney.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
Yes.

Speaker 9 (11:02):
And also I was listening to when you were talking
about the loft and kid from Tennessee, Uh with a
testicular cancer. Well, I'm a testicular cancer survivor of forty
years that back then, the cure rate was the expected.
You know, there was only like a two percent chance
that you weren't going to make it. But when you're

(11:24):
sitting there with a i'v stuck in your arm, somebody's
going to make up a two percent, you're kind of
wondering who it's going to be. But it is very curable. Uh,
Like I said, ninety eight percent cure rate would through
a couple of surgeries and uh, three or four months
worth of chemo, you could you could do it. But uh,
he wasn't feeling real well when he was playing basketball.

(11:47):
So but it takes a lot out of you.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
But well, I appreciate the info and glad that you
uh survived were a survivor as well. And uh, you
know the fact Lofton played through that I'm actually looking
I got I can't stand Tennessee. Appreciate the call, but
I am actually looking forward to doing that. I think,
you know, when we talked the other day about our
favorite Tennessee player at Kentucky, I think if you ask
most fans, all of them would say Chris Loten, because

(12:13):
you know, he's one of us, a Kentucky kid, and
it seemed like a really nice guy and unfortunately lit
us up every time we played him.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
He's such a great guy too, and he's kind of
settled back here in Lexington now that he's playing. Days
are over, works out with a lot of kids out
there at the Sports Center complex. Just a really really
good person.

Speaker 6 (12:29):
Yeah, I've seen him around lexingon a lot. Everybody has
good things to say about him. If you can just
turn off the fact that he wore that orange jersey
for a few years, I think he's a great guy
all right.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
So for the folks here at Owen County. I wore
I put on my Owen County rebels. Yes, hoodie, there
we go. Yes, I remember I went to Owen County
doing the book and everybody was very, very nice. I
actually went to the school when I did it. So
we've ended up like you know, there's a triangle in Lexington,

(12:57):
Northern Kentucky, Louisville and Lexington and then kind of right
in the middle. A lot of people don't go or
know those counties. Owen is one, like Henry, I think,
is one in in that area. Gallatin's on the way
between Louisville and and UH and Cincinnati, and then Carroll
County and all those and those are places that, honestly Ryan,
until I did the book, I don't know that I'd

(13:19):
really been to any of those places. Went to all
of them, and it's a really nice group of people
right there that's kind of in the middle of the
triangle of population.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, you asked it been one of the breaks, who's
your rival? And they all said, all those schools you
just mentioned. He said, what Gallaton, Henry and Carroll and Carroll. Yea,
so those we did.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
Wendell Berry is from Henry County, that's right up there
next to him. And I wrote him probably five times
to try to get him to talk to me the book.

Speaker 5 (13:48):
Never no response, no response ever.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
But he's like a like a recluse, like he kind
of does his own thing. It is his his daughter
wrote us back. But I think he kind of does
his own thing.

Speaker 6 (13:59):
I will always associate Owen County with Mario's day because
we sent him for two hours, and I remember I
texted him at like seven pm. I was like, are
you still there? Are you ever coming home? Or are you
just now live in Owen County? And he loved every
minute of it.

Speaker 5 (14:11):
He went to every he went to every part of it.

Speaker 6 (14:13):
Was there like a men's suit shop or something too.

Speaker 5 (14:16):
That, yeah, yeahright to the suit shop. He went to
the bar.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
He said the bar wasn't hopping, but it was at
Tuesday afternoon, so that that that's that's probably why it wasn't.
But thanks to the Owen County folks for coming out
Corn Brett hamp tomorrow. What's the address?

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Oh, he justs sent to this Cheff Avenue.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
Okay, but I asked you to have it out and
ready for when I when I threw it to you.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Forty six twelve, forty six twelve Chef Avenue.

Speaker 5 (14:40):
All right, so forty six twelve and Scheff is like
s C h U f F.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
It's correct Chef Avenue where they're in Louisville. Tomorrow they're
giving out free samples in all honesty, Like I can't
believe they're letting you all come because I didn't really
think it was a public thing.

Speaker 5 (14:57):
But like you, it's one of the cooler places.

Speaker 7 (15:00):
This is.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
I been because you can watch the.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
Production because they do it all like by hand, like
they pour for the gummies.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
They pour the molds into the little things.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
And cut them and put the little sugar on it
and then put it in the boxes. You can see
every step of the production. And you know you like
most companies don't let you do that. So there So
tomorrow forty six twelve Chef Avenue and then they will
be giving samples as well for KSR. But it's back
for those of you who live in Louisville, it's kind
of back there. It's close to OVW, Shannon, it's back

(15:31):
there next to Shepherds. It's very close to OVW actually,
but it's kind of back there, and you gotta you
gotta have your map on to find it. Sor right.

Speaker 6 (15:39):
We like a good show in Louisville. It's been a
while since we've been there. Always get good crowds and
with everything they're gonna be given away and stuff you
can see. I think this will be a popular one.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
And if you want to order cornbread, hip dot com
promo code KSR thirty percent off your first order. These
kids are already digging in their cheese lugs over here
to the right. We will take a break and be
right back. It's Kentucky Sports Radio. Walk back. It is
Kentucky Sports Radio eight five nine two eight oh twenty

(16:06):
two eighty seven. Good mix of the Owen County High
School folks and then people eating food and drinking beer
at the bar and ks bar is open if you
want to come out. Tomorrow, by the way, is a
huge day uh in UK sports. The UK women will
play at two thirty in the SEC tournament. We're gonna
have a thing here for people to watch the game.

(16:28):
So the UK women play at two thirty. Then the
UK Gymnastics has their meat that night at Memorials, so
you can come by before or after, and the rodeo,
the rodeo is tonight and tomorrow at Rapperina. So there
ain't nothing wrong with the rodeo. I guess that was
the radio was the song. Nevertheless, the rodeo is at

(16:51):
is that Roperina in the baseball game tomorrow and a
baseball so I conceivably could break out my cowboy hat
and really like make an impact.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
I don't know if I will do that or not.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
You ever been to a rodeo?

Speaker 5 (17:04):
Yeah, we went.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
I enjoyed here. I think, didn't we I really enjoyed it.
I mean, those guys are nuts.

Speaker 5 (17:11):
All right, Shannon.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
I want to read you a bill, you know the
Kentucky legislatures in I want to read you a bill
that's being offered and see what you think of an
amendment that was offered to the bill. Are you ready, Shannon?

Speaker 8 (17:21):
Read it?

Speaker 4 (17:22):
There's a there's a female legislator that has proposed making
marijuana legal for recreational use. Okay, so that would mean
you could use it no matter what. We've become one
of the states where you could use marijuana, and that
it is unlikely to.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
Pass, but they she's she has brought it up.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Now, you know the way the legislative process is then
people can make amendments to change your bill. Yes, would
you like to hear a change that a that a
legislator has has wanted to make to the marijuana bill?
It's okay. So the ferson that filed it is named
Nima Kulkarney and Steve done filed this change. Here we go.

(18:07):
It would add this sentence, any cannabis or marijuana guaranteed
under this action shall be odorless. Okay, so it would
make the marijuana be odorless. I don't even can you
do that?

Speaker 8 (18:20):
I don't think so.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
I don't even know that there would be a way
to do that.

Speaker 6 (18:24):
You couldn't when we were in Denver.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
Okay, So, but he says, now this is the part
I like, any cannabis guaranteed under this action shall be
odorless because some of y'all puff mad lie to get
High's a kite. I'm gonna read this again. This is
a legislator wrote, any cannabis guaranteed under this section shall

(18:48):
be odorless because some of y'all be puffing mad lie
to get High's a kite.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
This is an official amendment.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
This is written by a guy named Steve Doane.

Speaker 5 (19:00):
To see where this guy's.

Speaker 8 (19:01):
From I just want to see a picture of him, Steve.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
Look, let's look it up. Let's look up Steve done
here for a second. I got to see what this
dude looks. He is from northern Kentucky. This is him
right here. He wrote in the legislature, puff mad lie
because y'all get high's a kite.

Speaker 5 (19:22):
This this dude right here wrote.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
That maybe he should have somebody proofread that before he submitted.

Speaker 10 (19:29):
Do you think he was like I'm sure he was
like trying to be cool. I mean, I don't think
that's a mistake. I don't think you need anybody to
proof read it. That's what he wanted to say.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
But this dude right here wanted to write puff mad
lie to be hiza ky.

Speaker 8 (19:43):
He sounds like somebody that has experience doing that.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
It sounds like Michael Scott on the office. You'll be
puffing mad lied to be highs.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
A cop on a legal document, a legal amendment.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
And that's an official amendment with the Kentucky Legislature.

Speaker 6 (19:58):
So in thirty one hundred years from how people could
look back at that and that's how it was written.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
I mean, it's not gonna happen, but in theory that
could pass and be in our laws, and a judge
one day would have a court case come for him
and he'd go, are you all puffing mad lie to
be highza Kai?

Speaker 6 (20:14):
I think he's hurting his chances of writing it like that.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
No, I'm just picturing whoever has to read this on
the house for oh.

Speaker 5 (20:21):
I want to see that, you know they do.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
They have a thing where the person it's called an
official reading, and the it's I think it's like an
older woman and she gets I'm not kidding you. They
have a thing where they have to stand up and
read it officially. I've got to see this woman get
up and say a puff mad lie to be Hizaki?

Speaker 6 (20:42):
Can we do the show there, sit up in the
balcony like we did forv W Day.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
I didn't. I didn't even know that was a phrase,
puff mad lie, not at all. I didn't either.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
So Steve Doane, he's a.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
Republican elected in northern Kentucky from Boone and Kent. Wow,
there you go. Who knew? Who's up next?

Speaker 8 (21:05):
Let's go to Dave Dave Go ahead, Dave.

Speaker 11 (21:09):
Hey, guys, a big fan of your show. Thanks for
taking my call. Is it okay if I asked Kentucky
football question is all right, Yeah, I know. I was
a season ticket hope last year, and I'm remember you
talking about coach Stupe will be in maybe to do
an interview. I'm really looking forward.

Speaker 5 (21:26):
So we've already done that.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
He's going to come in Tuesday, so Mark Stoops, we'll
be doing an interview with us. We have to do
it in studio because of what you know, the Jay
and my stuff, but we will will be doing it
next Tuesday.

Speaker 12 (21:40):
Oh.

Speaker 11 (21:40):
I didn't usually get to listen during the day, but
I'm excited about that. I'm really concerned listening to you
talk about this big ten stuff. Of course the NIL.
I'm really concerned about the football program. My question is
do you a lot of stuff's been going on with
Meryl this year, a lot of rumors about different jobs.
Do you think that's like a a red potential red

(22:01):
flag for the future of our program. I'm really concerned
about Kentucky football. I've always believed we can be a
competitive team in the mid tier of the SEC and
occasionally make that playoff run. And I just want to
hear from students like what he believes in this program.

Speaker 4 (22:16):
I am concerned. I appreciate to call. I think this
is the most important year for UK football since the
first couple of years for Stoops. I think when you
consider the nil piece, when you consider the twenty two
million being paid to athletes starting next year, when you
consider the fact that like the ACC has just gone
to where the best teams get more money than the

(22:38):
other teams, and you got to think the SEC and
Big ten are going to consider that when you think
of all those things, I like, this is a big year, Drew.
I think it's just that's a fact, like this is
a major, major year.

Speaker 7 (22:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (22:50):
With the point about guys looking for other jobs, I
have wondered if they see that just this is winding down,
whether it be this year, next year on Stoops terms,
not on Stoop terms, because you've had a lot of assistance.
Lead Brad White was rumored places. This is what Vince's
at least third interview that we know of. So it
does make me wonder what they know internally that they
all seem to be looking elsewhere for just in case.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
And you know you're when you're looking at next year,
you know you lost your three best defensive players, you
lost some of your main offensive weapons. I mean, you
got a lot of new faces you're plugging in next year.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
You do, and they better not puff mad lie to
be heiza cut. If they can't be doing that, We'll
take a break and be right back here at kas Bars.
Kentucky Sports Radio.

Speaker 8 (23:34):
T J Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
He'll make them pay.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

Speaker 8 (23:42):
Here's Matt Jones.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. Uh as somebody here in
the crowd mate, uh mentioned I think it'd be funny
to watch that bill being read with the sign language person.

Speaker 6 (23:57):
Made on how you show that the lie is mad?
That'd be a tough one to get to be like that.
I didn't do this.

Speaker 8 (24:02):
Show it on your face that you're mad.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
Owen County's basketball district. Let's see how you can do.
There are one, two, three, four, five six teams in
Owen Counties basketball district. Can you name you?

Speaker 2 (24:13):
I'monna go with the ones we already talked about. Henry County.
There's one, Gallen County's two Gallanton County.

Speaker 5 (24:18):
Gallons three, uh.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Grant County, no, Carroll County.

Speaker 4 (24:25):
Four two more uh, one county, one city. Oh, a city, Covington. No,
what there's seven. Oh, I don't know the.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Seven schools in the district. No hints, no hints, I
won't look away. Uh, I'm not sure.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Sometimes it causes me to huh it's a that's a
that's a gospel sign. Sometimes it causes me to throw up.

Speaker 5 (24:59):
The name of the the name of the count.

Speaker 6 (25:03):
You think there's a.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
Gospel song that says.

Speaker 5 (25:05):
Sometimes it causes me to.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
School. No, sometimes it causes me to drew travel. Yeah, well,
I thought that was a pretty good hint. That was good.

Speaker 6 (25:19):
That was a good hint.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
Sometimes when you're referring to royalty, you might say, thank
you my.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Lord.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
Okay, but there's not a city called Lord. I'm trying
to help you to places in Kentucky. Thank you, my.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
King.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
There's not a city called king. Think about the name
of a school, Drew. Some you're like you might bow
and go thank you. You're like, okay, closer, Shannon, anybody,
I mean, they know it sounds like Lord Imminence was

(25:59):
a tough You should have gotten the trump.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
That's a big district that they playing up there, though
it is.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
I thought those were pretty good hints.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
Around the Horn, the TV show will be canceled on
May twenty third. It has been on for twenty four
years and it is going away. Are you sad to
see the end of a stat boy Tony really? Uh?
And Around the Horn?

Speaker 2 (26:20):
I haven't watched it Around the Horn in twenty four years,
so I will not miss it even for a little bit.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
You've never watched it.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
When it first came on. I remember I watched a
couple of times. Woody Page, Is he still on the show?
That's what I thought. I thought he's still on. He's
been doing it all. She's like every he's been on
there for all twenty four years.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
When it first started, it was like Jay Marriotti, that's
a name from the past, Woody Page, Bob Ryan would
be honest, he would back then, Tim Tim Kallis Shaw yep.
And then there was a guy in La I think
jaa Donde did it a lot? Yes he did, Yes
he did. But are you sad to see it go?

Speaker 6 (26:56):
I'm not sad.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
I don't.

Speaker 6 (26:57):
I don't do the daytime p and TV haven't done
it many years, but when it was new, I didn't
miss it. I don't know why. I loved the concept,
but when he would just mute people when he didn't
like what they were saying, it was entertaining television. I
just think it got a little dry over the time.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
Where do you think appreciate the call comes from? It's
like it's my version of the mute button. It was good.
I think it kind of wore out its welcome, like
it probably went a little long, But I thought in
general it was good. I uh, I was always hoping
the one time get on it, and the other day
I turned it on and om yummi suck was on
it and was good.

Speaker 5 (27:31):
Man. That dude gets me on everything.

Speaker 6 (27:34):
The few times I've turned it on in the last year,
I'll be honest, I didn't know the four people that
were on there. Maybe I'm just out of touch with
ESPN personalities, but it's not what it was in the
early days.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
I think that's probably true. All right. I also have
a question here. It's a good question you all in
the crowd could answer for yourselves too, Matt. We always
talk about things we like. How about this.

Speaker 5 (27:55):
What do you all think is the worst sport to
watch on television?

Speaker 4 (27:59):
What's sport would you want to watch less than any other,
and it can't be something crazy.

Speaker 5 (28:05):
It has to be something that is actually a sport
that's on television.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
So what is you said? Baseball?

Speaker 6 (28:11):
Man's bad for the future of the sport. If you
say baseball, what sport do you think is the worst
to watch?

Speaker 4 (28:17):
I'll give you mine. And I hate to say this
because it's a very popular sport for like two weeks
every four years, But I don't enjoy figure skating. I
don't enjoy it. I'm actually it makes me nervous because
I'm always worried everyone's gonna fall, and I also don't
really understand what's good.

Speaker 5 (28:38):
And then I just I have never been.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
Able to watch figure skating, except when Tanya Harding attacks
attack Nancy Carrigan. That was kind of exciting. Do you
have one?

Speaker 2 (28:49):
I'm gonna make some people mad.

Speaker 7 (28:50):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
I can't watch soccer. I've just never been a soccer fan.

Speaker 8 (29:00):
Where were you last week?

Speaker 2 (29:01):
No, I would go out there and not know anything
what's going on, but just go out there for the experience.
So you know, watch it on TV.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
You wouldn't want to watch like a European soccer game
with the crowds chanting and people jumping up and down
and they're singing songs. You just have no interest in that.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
I think that's something you gotta be there. You got
to go and experience like you went when you were
overseas and.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
When I went to the Euros this summer. I'm not
just saying this, the Euros, the European Soccer Championships were
the best. One of the top three fan experiences I've
ever had. I'm talking like a great college basketball game,
like in the final four, the Ryder Cup and that
those are probably the best things I've ever been to

(29:40):
from a sporty persent.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
And then you say like you kind of got you
lucked out. Every home team you were at the event,
they won every.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
Game I went to. I was sitting in the section
of the team that won. That's crazy, and so it
made it to where it was very exciting.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
But you're not your watching.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
I'm not watching on TV.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
What about you, Drew.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
A month ago, I would have said hockey, but I
got so into USA Canada. I'm practically a hockey fan.
Now I'm saying baseball. I'm with you, you can't watch baseball.
I love going to a baseball game. You'll see me
Kentucky Proud Park for most of them. But watching it
on television, I think it is so boring.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
Yeah. See, I watch a Reds game though every night,
Like now, I agree with you. If it's just two
random teams, if it's like the Twins versus the Astros,
I can't watch it. But if but I watch every
Reds game this year. If i'm if I'm home.

Speaker 6 (30:27):
So the soccer point, I will turn on a soccer match.
I don't even need to know who the teams are.
I can just sit and watch soccer. I know that's
probably weird to a lot of people, but I'll turn
on Premier League. I don't even have a team I
really care for, and whoever's playing, I can sit and watch.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
That they sing.

Speaker 5 (30:42):
I think helps a lot for me and it Shannon,
what's your least favorite.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
GOLFF knows it's boring. They're trying to change it up
and do indoor golf. That's how boring they know they are.

Speaker 4 (30:55):
Let me just say about the indoor golf. I think
it's awful. I don't understand why people like it. I
think it's awful. Like I read that they don't even
think that the shot tracer works. That's the whole point
I've wondered about that. No, I mean the pros say
they don't. The pros are kind of like whispering, like
they want it to work, but they're like, I don't
think the ball goes where I've actually hit it.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Well, I can believe that that does kind of defeat
the purpose of what the Indoor League's post about.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
It's really boring. I mean, I maybe it's not for me,
but I turned it on. Most of those guys have
the personality of cardboard and I just I think it's
just I think it's just boring.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Looks like they've always they've got good crowds though people
are coming to watch.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
I mean they're coming to like drink and party. Yeah,
I just can't imagine people think that's it's on TV.
I do not think it works.

Speaker 6 (31:41):
I watch it, but I'll admit I'll be surprised if
it exists in a year. I watch it just because
I'm a big golf fan, and it goes pretty quickly.
And there's a few teams that are entertaining, like Tigers
with Tom Kim and Max Homo. They were pretty funny
in the last one. But I can I don't have
much shot to make them for a last ting.

Speaker 5 (31:57):
You don't even like watching like the masters, not even
into like the master.

Speaker 8 (32:01):
It's a natural cure for insomnia. If I want a
good nap, put.

Speaker 5 (32:04):
All the masters, all right, pear enough.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
Who's next?

Speaker 5 (32:06):
Jerry, Jerry, go ahead, Jerry, Jerry?

Speaker 4 (32:14):
All right? No, Jerry, who's there?

Speaker 8 (32:16):
This is all Jerry's fault. Bob and Jamestown.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
Jerry yep two A twenty two eighty seven. All right,
Bob and Jamestown, before you start. The Ladies of ks
R who I love that group. You can follow them
on Facebook. They're a wonderful group of women, and they
like they've become friends like. The Ladies of ks are
a great group. They I value their opinion. They say

(32:40):
that I am mean to you, and I don't want
to be mean to you. I mean, I do, but
I don't want to be mean to you, and I
like them. I trust their judgment. So I'm gonna let
you have the floor, Bob, no commentary from me.

Speaker 12 (32:56):
Vawn Rose Peach daughter has been in contact with Baseball
a missioner, and now the President says he's going to
pardon the conviction of Pete over that income tax thing
to make it where he can get in the house
saying do you think this is going to be the
year that the hit king makes me?

Speaker 4 (33:17):
Okay? Well, old me would have said we did this
topic two days ago, but knew me post ladies of
KSR ME will just act like we didn't and say yes.
I do think Pete Rose will end up getting on
the ballot, But Ryan, no, I don't think he'll get
voted in because the baseball writers are kind of a

(33:39):
you know, they haven't let him Barry Bonds. They haven't
let in Roger Clemens. So I don't know how I
appreciate the call. If you don't let him Barry Bonds
and Roger Clemens, who did not go to federal prison
and did not risk the integrity of the sport beyond
like cheating, I don't know how you can let him
Pete Rose. So until they let them in, I can't
imagine they're gonna let Pete Rose.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
But I think they all should be in good to
me to hear Bob's story that his daughter is picking
up the fight, gonna try to, like you said, fight
the good fight, get him on the ballot. If nothing else,
I don't know, maybe the Veterans Committee down the road.

Speaker 4 (34:09):
May I think the Veterans Committee it has to be
like fifteen years after you die or something.

Speaker 6 (34:13):
So it's a it's a way he's away. Are we
reenacting what we did Tuesday? Because I believe I said
Oj Simpson's in the Football Hall of Fame. You know,
it's not about how they are as people, it's exactly
what they did on the field.

Speaker 5 (34:24):
Do you agree they won't they won't vote him in.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
I mean, if they don't vote in Bonds and Clemens,
they're not gonna vote in pe Rose. That's what I see.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Because you open up that door, you're gonna all those
that whole era of baseball players are.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
Why don't they just do that? Just take Bonds, Clemens McGuire,
I mean, Sosa. I look Kurt Shilling. Kurt Shilling seems
like a dude that I would despise. But it seems
like to me they don't let Kurt Shilling in just
because they don't like his Twitter account. Yeah, I mean,
that's not a reason not to let somebody in, Like,

(34:58):
you know, just because he has different politic views and
you like, that doesn't mean he's not supposed to be
in the Hall of Fame. To me, you just let Bond's, Clemens, Maguire, Shilling,
and Rose in. Just let them all in at once
and have like a convicts day and then and then
move on.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Have you heard Bob Costas's solution? He wants to make
just a wing of the Hall of Fame with a
big sign before you went. Know, this is the era
of the steroid era. These are players that playing to
play steroid era.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
And now are you gonna get people in there though,
who didn't use steroids?

Speaker 4 (35:26):
Like, I mean, I'm fine with that, but then are
you gonna put the guys that people don't think you
steroids in there? Because at some point, if you're gonna
say these are steroids guys, you need to at least
have proof.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Yeah right, yeah, Well a guy that's very good playery
you have no proof of he.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
Was on Benny Bonds. Drives me crazy because Barry Pon's
was never suspended. I'm sure he used steroids, Okay, I'm
not acting like he did, but he never got tested neck,
he never was tested for it. He never got suspended,
And I don't understand like they're just convicting him with
no try like I feel like that you can't do.

Speaker 6 (36:01):
That rightletly agree they need to get over themselves. I
think this steroid wing would be dumb because there's probably
guys that are putting the other part of the building
that also cheated and just didn't get caught, So it'll
be hards of cheating.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
We like embrace, like we all laugh at the dudes
who like through the spitball and stuff like that. That's
cheating too, isn't. We got a.

Speaker 6 (36:19):
Spitball chamber in the Hall of Fame just for them.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
Hey, stop overpaying for sunglasses. Check out Shady Rays. If
like you're in Lexton, you drive the show tomorrow in Louisville,
you'll pass the Shady Race. That building has gotten huge
off the interstate. Is Shady rais an independent American owned
company starting right here in Kentucky.

Speaker 5 (36:37):
Shady Rais got great glasses.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
They advertise here, they advertise on pardon my take, They
advertise everywhere, and it started right here in Shepherdsville. Go
to Shady Rays Shady Rays dot com, or the Louisville
and Lexington location. It's Shady Rays. We'll take a break,
come back final segment here at kaspar It's Kentucky Sports Radio.
Welcome Back Tucky Sports Radio. Final segment. Here at Chaos Bar,

(36:59):
is there somebody in here named Charles? Charles? I got
a message on the text machine. I'm not gonna say
your last name for your benefit. Okay. Uh Hey, Matt,
my buddy Charles is there. Could you tell him to
please leave the bar and get back to work? Charles?

(37:19):
That's all right, Charles, You know what, who cares about work?
The only problem I see nothing wrong with you being here.
The only problem is he says you're a Duke fan?
Is that right? Okay, thank you very much. All right,
then you're you're you're good man.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
What kind of friend is that? Calling him a Duke
fan and calling him out for being here instead of
being at work?

Speaker 4 (37:34):
Right, I'm glad Charles is here. You could tell you,
but your friend tried to embarrass you and he hung
he hungs hanks tight.

Speaker 6 (37:39):
I actually talked to Charles during the break. I don't
know how he has two laptops out with multiple spreadsheets going,
but it's pretty impressive how much work.

Speaker 5 (37:46):
You can do a lot of work over there, so
I uh, I appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (37:50):
One person, DraftKings, we gotta make our Draft Kings pick tonight.
You go to DraftKings use promo co KSR. I'm not
really sure. There's a lot of women's basketball tournament games.
I don't really know, so I guess.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
We'll pick Missouri Valley Conference starts today. Evansville and Murray State.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
All right, let's do that Evansville since that's the one
you want. Evansville and Murray State. I'll pull up the
line here. What do we need to know about the game?

Speaker 2 (38:15):
I think both teams struggled this year, if I'm not mistaken,
So I'm gonna go Murray State.

Speaker 6 (38:19):
The Racers. Uh is this like in Saint Louis? Do
they still do arch arch mad Madness?

Speaker 4 (38:25):
Curry State.

Speaker 5 (38:26):
It's a five and a half point favored against Evansville.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Okay, Murray State to cover.

Speaker 6 (38:31):
Evansville hasn't been that good since they quit wearing the
T shirt jerseys. So I'm going with no, I will
go Evansville. I'm going with Evansville.

Speaker 4 (38:38):
I'm gonna go Murray State. I have been I think
you went with me once, Drew. I've been to arch
mat Yeah, we had a great time. I had a
blast arch Madness in Saint Louis is an awesome, fun
event that Drew and I went to. I've been twice,
I think, and I've had a blast both times. Shannon
Evansville or Murray.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
State Evansville eleven and twenty, Murray State fifteen and sixteen
a couple of powerhouses.

Speaker 8 (39:00):
But I'm going Murray State here.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
I'll tell you who needs to be watching arch madness
is is Drake still in the Missouri Valley?

Speaker 7 (39:07):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Yeah, they're like the favorite, I think so Bubble.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
Teams like Arkansas and Texas.

Speaker 5 (39:13):
They need to what.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
They need Drake to win, because if Drake doesn't win
the Missouri Valley, they'll probably get an out large bit
and steal one from from So like you, if you're
like an Arkansas fan, you're watching the Missouri Valley hoping
Drake can win.

Speaker 6 (39:25):
Oh man, I would hate for Arkansas to miss the tournament.
If Drake didn't win that conference, that would be awful for.

Speaker 4 (39:29):
Those of you listening. One of the things I would
like for my listeners. I'm going to be right after
the season. You know, I'm going to Amsterdam and to
the Hague, but I'm also spending like five or six
days traveling around Holland and the Netherlands. If you all
have ever been, who can suggest things to do outside
of Amsterdam and the Hague, Please send me a message

(39:49):
and let me know.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
I'm very excited about that trip coming up.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
I am. I'm very much looking forward to it. If
I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, who's
next year? Jay Rock, Jay Rock? Go ahead?

Speaker 6 (39:59):
Hey what?

Speaker 13 (40:00):
First off, I got two things. The worst sport to
watch on TV has to be Slippery Stairs on the
O Show. I don't know if you've ever seen.

Speaker 4 (40:08):
It with you. I think it's funny those people fall
down the stairs.

Speaker 13 (40:14):
And second off, I listen every day and I don't
pay attention. But we need to talk about what's real important.
That is Pete Rose getting in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 5 (40:24):
He's the best man.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
All right, So tomorrow we are at at cornbrat Hill.
But let me ask you in general about Saturday against Missouri.

Speaker 5 (40:32):
Do you feel good?

Speaker 4 (40:32):
You think Kentucky's got a shot to go win, Probably
gonna be three and a half four point underdog something
like that.

Speaker 6 (40:38):
Oh, definitely, even without Robinson, I think they're still a
good team. Missouri's lost with three out of four they're
going the wrong direction as March is here, So I
think the Cats will be in it. I think it
gonna come down to the wire.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
They get the same production from Garrison, Almanor and Colin
Chandler off the bench. That just makes him so much
better without Jackson Robinson.

Speaker 5 (40:56):
What if I told you, do you know what the
term in basketball is you rate?

Speaker 4 (41:00):
Do you know what that is? I'm sure how it's basically,
it's basically what it says, when you're on the floor,
how often do you hold the like get the ball?

Speaker 5 (41:09):
How often do you shoot? How often are you part
of the offense.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
What if I told you that on Kentucky's basketball team,
the fourth highest usage rate of any player is Brandon Garrison?

Speaker 2 (41:21):
Really well, I guess because when he comes in, they
you know, him and Mario's initiate the offense a lot
and the balls in their hands.

Speaker 4 (41:26):
You think that's a good thing that that Brandon Garrison
has the fourth highest usage rate.

Speaker 6 (41:31):
I think Ryan Noll that just with Pope's high post offense,
the big guys getting a lot more touches than they
are at most.

Speaker 5 (41:37):
School all my Butler's number one of Maray Williams is
number two.

Speaker 6 (41:40):
I think that Mari's like ranked nationally, He's way up there.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
Yeah, I would have predicted that Butler was won and
Mari two. And I bet it's close because when Butler
was out of Mario did it, that's when he became
like our point guard for a while.

Speaker 4 (41:51):

at noon. It's eleven o'clock local time. I think their
fans are going to not be quite as excited because
they've lost three last four, and a couple of those
have been blowouts. So I do like Kentucky's teams.
