so go on in here. We're in studio so I
can pick out your calls, and you know that that
means good things for some callers, not so good for
some of the others. That's all right. I'm nine eight
twenty two eighty seven full house here today. It is

(01:18):
nasty outside and I don't like it. I thought it
was supposed to be summer. This whole weekend was like
fifty nine degrees and rainy. When do we you know,
the only positive effect of global warming is it's supposed
to be warm, and we don't even get that.

Speaker 5 (01:32):
It's a weird Memorial Day weekend. I started a fire
on Saturday, set outside of my porch by fire, which
was nice, but it didn't feel like the unofficial start
of summer started off fire well, I mean I didn't
like get sticks and rub stones together. I mean I
have a fire pit. You know, Memorial Day weekend, you
don't think you're going to need a fire, but I
did on Saturday.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
I'd say, look at you, Camper Joe, Yeah, not quite
quite that. I hit a button. It's hooked up to proping.
Look good. Not nice job with that, but weird weather.
You You said you went to the Lexington Sockey.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
Yes, I'm now a. I think we're called reilbirds. Had
a great time. They call them real birds. I believe
that's what we're called them. Still learning, still learning the
chance I didn't get any of the smoke bombs or
drum I'm not all the way in yet, but it's
it was a good time. We're apparently not very good,
right we are. We got some some growing to do.
Been a while since they've won. They're in the last
place in the West, and we played the last team

(02:24):
in the East and it was a draw. So I
guess now we know that we are. We're not definitively
the worst. Correct you all should go. It was a
lot of fun. I know we did the show out
there when there wasn't a match.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
But oh, I've tried to I mean, we did the
show out there. I've tried to get involved with them
in the show, and for whatever reason, there's just been
I mean, we went out there, so that was neat.
But I'd love to do something with him. I think
I want that to succeed, you know, I want sports.
Louisville's team has succeeded, has succeeded a lot, not just

(02:54):
on the field, although I think they've won it before.
But just like the it's a big thing in the
city and I'd like that to happen here too, Ryan
as well.

Speaker 6 (03:04):
And if Drew said they've got their host Louisville coming up,
I mean that should be the game we all go
to and they host.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
I think they call it the Commonwealth Come July twenty six,
got a little time.

Speaker 7 (03:12):
July twenty six?

Speaker 4 (03:12):
All right, so is it here? Yes, so we can
go and yell at him? Yes? All right? Well, uh
well either way, that was good. Ryan. You did you
have something with your your lady or are you crying
that your your son is about to leave you? What
are you doing a little of both? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (03:30):
I had a I had a lemon life weekend.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
What was this? What was the what was the disaster?

Speaker 7 (03:37):
I broke my phone?

Speaker 4 (03:39):

Speaker 7 (03:39):
I broke and you guys don't know it, but I
broke my nose.

Speaker 4 (03:42):

Speaker 7 (03:44):
Broken, like right up here. I can't it's awful.

Speaker 4 (03:46):

doesn't look broken. I know what?

Speaker 7 (03:49):
Thank got it?

Speaker 8 (03:50):

Speaker 6 (03:50):
Swoll a little bit? Because it happened like Saturday nights.
I've had a couple of days. Keep an eye on it.
How did you break your I don't want to tell you.
It's it's embarrassing.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Uh, we got to know now, I mean, obviously we're
gonna know.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
First of all, were you diagnosed with a broken nose
or you just say you have a broken nose?

Speaker 7 (04:06):
I didn't go in but oh, well.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
So you have. So you didn't break your nose.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
I broke my nose before, and it feels the same way.
And nothing to do about it. There's nothing can do
for it.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Is it can't do anything. They can't do. Tell me,
there's not what modern medicine. There's not one thing they
can do for a broken nose unless it needs set.

Speaker 7 (04:23):
But it doesn't need set. It's you know, because it
look it looks straight to me.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
I mean you already it looks straight to you. Yeah,
that's your medical diagnosis. It looks straight to you. First
of all, you already have the worst snoring on earth.
This is not gonna happen. You fixed it.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
It's like Rookie of the Year when he broke his arm.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
I have been breathing better the past forty eight hours
since it happened.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Oh so you think you popped it into plut I.

Speaker 7 (04:47):
Think, like my deviated septum.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
It got it gotated, Yes, I think so.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
Where it was the broken phone and broken nose in
the same movement.

Speaker 7 (04:56):
No different days you do.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
To break your nose?

Speaker 7 (04:59):
I can't tell you. No, no, no. Monique, Monique witnessed it.
She was. It happened over in Georgetown.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Monique witnessed. So you live close to Monique. So you
fell down? Yes, okay, so you fell down walking up
the stairs. You hit your nose on the stairs. No, okay,
what was it?

Speaker 8 (05:19):
Then?

Speaker 4 (05:20):
Gosh to say it?

Speaker 7 (05:22):
You know the herbies, you put your stuff in the trash,
your herbie's.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
I don't know what that means.

Speaker 7 (05:27):
You know your herbie that you take it out to
the corner.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
Okay, you mean a trashrash can?

Speaker 6 (05:30):
Yeah, okay, yeah, we call them herbi's. We were doing
some landscaping. We're putting the weeds in the herbie and
it was in the grass and we were done. So
I was gonna pop it back up on the sidewalk,
you know, give it a real hard push to pop
it from the grass up on the sidewalk. And I
did it, and it didn't pop on the sidewalk and
I faced planted right on the candle of the herbie.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
So you punched yourself onto a trash can, Yes, that
was the That was the better explanation. You you punched
yourself with a trash can.

Speaker 7 (05:58):
Yes, And there was blood everywhere.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
And and so you were bleeding everywhere everywhere. There's never
a moment you thought maybe I should get this looked at.

Speaker 6 (06:05):
Yes, yeah, but I when I had my vertigo, I
went to the emergency room. That cost me five thousand dollars. Like,
I'm not spending another five thousand dollars when I'm broke to.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
Cost you five thousand dollars.

Speaker 6 (06:15):
Yes, I'm still paying on that bill for what emergency rooms?

Speaker 7 (06:20):
Cat scans, eat eat, kg's all this mess?

Speaker 4 (06:24):
Do you do? You have insurance?

Speaker 6 (06:25):
Yeah, but it's awful. It's not good. It's a cheap insurance.
It's not very good.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
I mean, you're getting old, I know, and you're hinting
yourself with trash can. Yeah. I mean you literally punch
yourself in the face with trash cans. Face plan getting
insurance that? I mean when I I have had, unfortunately
go to the emergency room at times with my uh,
you know, when I had the seizure stuff, people get
scared and then I know it doesn't cost me five
thousand dollars. Yeah, crazy, it doesn't cost anything close to

(06:51):
five thousand. So I was not going back to know
they're getting it. Okay, why don't you get new emergency.
I'm gonna have to. I'm gonna have to. You know,
you work at a company that has insurance.

Speaker 6 (07:00):
But I'm just considered a part time employee. They I
can't get it. I've tried.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
What mean you've tried.

Speaker 7 (07:05):
I've tried to try to get on the insurance.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
Your contract negotiations.

Speaker 7 (07:10):
I've tried that.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
I tried that last time. Didn't work and what happened?
They can't do it? Come part time? But why don't
you say? Why don't you make me full time? I
don't think they want to.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
You got to work thirty hours a week.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
They don't want to give insurance. A guy was breaking
his nose on trash cans. It's all right, it's expensive.

Speaker 6 (07:28):
I mean it hurts so bad, like if you know
you wipe your nose like that.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
There's a thing in Kentucky, at least at least for
now until they pass this built. There's like a portal
where you can get insurance. They tried that. What why
don't you get that? Well, I'll tell you off the air. Okay,
all right, well you said.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
You know you you're depressing, and yes, what happened to
the phone?

Speaker 6 (07:54):
Dropped it and it felt like this, So I can't
charge it. The sim card doesn't work.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
Now it hard to work.

Speaker 7 (08:01):
Everything on this end doesn't working.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
On the bottom of the phone. Doesn't time for.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
You to get an iPhone and we can all be
blue in the group test.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
So exactly, let's get an iPhone.

Speaker 6 (08:09):
I've already I got a exchange program. I got a
new Android coming to day.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
Can I ask you a question? Are you getting one
like older one?

Speaker 9 (08:21):
Like?

Speaker 4 (08:21):
Are you getting one that's even older than when you
have because it's cheaper.

Speaker 6 (08:24):
It's it's the same, it's a it's a the warranty
program I had.

Speaker 7 (08:28):
It's the exact same phone, old Android.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
All right, he's spending more on.

Speaker 4 (08:34):
Yeah, I mean, first of all, what are you doing
my warranty programs? You know that all warranty programs with
electronics are a scam. Well maybe not for you because
you can't because you break them. Moment. Actually, I just spoke.
It's the insurance on the phone. Yeah, the warranties getting
then you know you don't buy insurance. I'd do for
all my phone, of course, the boys phones, my phone.

(08:55):
You get a case.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
I had a case and it broke and I hardn't
replaced it.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
His phone's in sugar than he is.

Speaker 7 (09:00):
I've dropped so many time of the case on the
case broke.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
When you said Ryan House your Memorial Day weekend, I
did not expect to peel back all the layers of
this onion.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
This is. It was awful and I you know we.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Love yeah, of course, but he is pitiful like he is.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
He is absolutely pitiful on like all levels. If a
disaster can strike, you know what he needs. He needs
serve pro just for like yeah, just like a person
who comes around and make sure he can like contribute
to society without causing a disaster.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
He's like rkle Like everything he touches brakes or he
like falls apart.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
And all right, so there's your two weekends. Well you
was ready to have the weekend of Matt Yeah, okay,
like as the as the British leisure like just gonna
be completely everything's great. So comes here in town for

(10:00):
the weekend series. I thought, you know, if I want to,
I could go to all these. Sure I go to
all three of 'em. It'll be fun. Went Friday night.
Never been that mad at a non UK game in
anything in my life, even the Bears when the kicker

(10:22):
Cairo Santos missed that field goal, and the playoffs, not
as mad as I was Friday night. Because you know
how you can see disaster coming, right, you can see
it and you know it's coming, and you want to
tell everyone to stop, but you can't. That was me
six two reds going into the seventh inning. It's an

(10:45):
important game. We're playing the team that leads a division, right,
we're trying to catch them. We're up sixty two, and
they bring in Shannon stupid Ian Jabou and I knew
I saw. First of all, he's like number fifty seven.
Never put in somebody that's number fifty seven. Name me

(11:06):
a great fifty seven in sports history. I didn't even
know they could make a fifty seven. They don't even
have fifty seven. No one even contemplates a fifty seven.
And he comes in. Remember he was the guy that
blew Opening Day. Oh it was the same guy, the
same guy, and I knew when he walked on the
field we're losing this game. And then and then he

(11:29):
allows a hit. Then there is a little like McClane
gets the ball hit right to him. All he has
to do is tag the guy. He gets a double play.
He goes to tag Shannon misses him. He's running right
in front. He misses him. With you beab the ones
he can't get him, misses him. Then they hit like
the worst little Blue three guys. It falls right between them,

(11:53):
and then it's on. They go from six to two
Shannon to thirteen to six, and they should have been
out of the inning. We beat man with Queen Johns
had been able to reach the had been able to
reach the guy. I got up, so six to four.
And then you know, medicine Crow Armstrong or whatever the

(12:13):
guy's name is on on the he killed us the
whole series. What's his name, Jace Crowe Armstrong.

Speaker 7 (12:21):
I like medicine old.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
Man, medicine Crow. He hits a grand Salmon. The moment
he hits a grand I just get up and I'm like,
forget it. I'm not doing this. This is like this
is supposed to be the weekend of mad and then
I didn't even watch the other two games. We won
one of them, we lost the other one, but I
was like, I'm taking a break. You all have frustrated me.

Speaker 8 (12:39):
Now.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
I watched yesterday they beat Kansas City, but I was
so mad in Jeebou. I would trade in Jebau for
an android. He's the worst. He's the worst. He's become
my second least favorite Red besides Jumbo Diaz of all time.
And I knew Drew when they put him in, and
it wasn't even really his fault, but I knew he's

(13:01):
just got such bad energy.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
I'm gonna pat myself on the back last week when
I said, when we get back from the three day weekend,
Matt's gonna have a red S meltdown right on queue.

Speaker 9 (13:11):
In.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
It was such a bad loss. I texted you Friday
nights and was horrible. I was literally sitting in my
car leaving when you texted me. You go, this is
a horrible loss, and I'm like, you think so, I'm
trying to get out of track. Can you leave me alone?

Speaker 2 (13:24):
And you only got four more months of this? Just
think four more months you're wearing your red Jersey today.
You look like you're about to play and suit up
for the Reds.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
This is quiet and shirt though it is a nice shirt.
But yeah, so anyway, I was very frustrated, and I
thought I had the worst week end of the group.
And then I didn't realize Sammy broke his nose over
here on a trash can was gonna be in as well.

Speaker 7 (13:47):
And broke my phone the next day.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
It's now sad, he said, and the blazeaid, just blood
all over the street. Do something about your inshurts, because
you're gonna end up. This is not the first injury
to come. There are no there are hips to break
in your near future. We need to get you some insurance.

Speaker 7 (14:04):
I agree.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
If you're an insurance agent that will not rip him off,
maybe reach out.

Speaker 5 (14:11):
Did you have the same insurance policy when you let
cash Daniel put you through a table? Because I'm wondering
about some decision making.

Speaker 7 (14:16):
Yeah, maybe that's it.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
Gosh, just get some good insurance.

Speaker 6 (14:20):
Yeah, it was this cheap insurance they were offering to realtors.
You know, we have to get our own insurance.

Speaker 4 (14:24):
So I took it.

Speaker 7 (14:26):
Didn't really read the find.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
There you go, didn't really read what I was doing
A five nine, two eight, twenty two eighty seven. We
will take a break, little Kentucky News. We are a
day away from the O Way decision. What's gonna happen?
Be right back, Welcome back, Tucky Sports Radio. You know
I was giving you a hard time, but to be fair,
your example about health insurance is really one of the

(14:51):
problems with our healthcare system right now, because you make
too much money to get in the Obamacare stuff, right,
but you really don't make enough money to where you
don't have to worry about costs. Yes, and that middle
ground is where a lot of Americans are that get
screwed about a lot of things. Yep. I mean not
just healthcare. Like there's an amount of money that's really

(15:12):
not enough money to live comfortably, but also not enough,
not too little money or excuse me, too much money
to get some of the stuff that we need, and
that that stinks. So I hate that for you. At
the same time, you need to not bang your head into.

Speaker 7 (15:29):
Trash can face plant into a herby.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
So there's a little bit of that. One person writes,
I like on the text machine. I like listening to
Ryan because he makes me feel better. About my life.
Well that's nice. It's that you're playing kind of harsh
to say to him.

Speaker 5 (15:42):
But yeah, I mean you came in thing or you're
complaining about the reds And here he is with a
broken nose.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
And a brokes all said about Ian Jabou And then
I got mister phone nose break over here.

Speaker 7 (15:51):
But I get a brand new Android later today.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Yeah that still will have green tex sh and we'll
still ruin our group chat. And uh and already.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
You're getting the exact same phone you could have upgraded, right.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
Why didn't you just go ing up lots more money? Exactly?
All right, so h one person writes, Matt, you were
once again wrong. In Jebo's number is not fifty seven,
it's seventy nine. Even worse, seventy nine. Seventy nine. He's
an offensive lineman and by the way, he's built like
an offensive lineman in the MAC. That's what he's bullying. Yeah,

(16:24):
big dude, he's he's got a belly, he's French. French.

Speaker 5 (16:28):
How many French baseball players? This was a patriotic weekend.
Why is he in the game anyway?

Speaker 4 (16:33):
Yeah, all right, before we go the phones, Jordan, why
did you guy, I was gonna lead off with you
O take away. Yeah, we got a lot of guys
who today and yesterday announced they were they're they're leaving
or coming back. Excuse me. PJ. Haggerty, the number leading scorer,
says he's coming back to college. He's going to Kansas State.

(16:54):
Houston's guard, the point guard. He's coming back. So some
big guys made their decision. I haven't heard anything from
Oway concerned it all. He's got till tomorrow at midnight.

Speaker 5 (17:06):
Not really, and if I were him, you know, I
wouldn't wait till midnight, but you might as well see
the whole process through. I don't know if he has
anything scheduled in the last twenty four hours, but other
than just trying to put the fan base at ease,
there's really nothing to come back to in Lexington right now.
I mean, Pope was in DC yesterday. There's nothing going
on for the basketball team. I'm gonna find out the
Knicks forty well, if you could get one more workout
in or one more part of the process, I don't know.

(17:28):
Their schedule is probably nothing at this hour, but I
would take it to the very last minute, just for
the experience. But I still haven't seen any real Maybe
one mock draft has him at like number fifty nine
or something. I haven't seen anything that says suggests he'll
be the where he wants to be in the draft.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
So I'm not too worried. Worried at all.

Speaker 7 (17:44):
No, not really shading you are.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, neither. I think he
comes back.

Speaker 6 (17:49):
I saw the other you know what, Carter Knox announced
he's going back to Arkansas. Hubbard's going back Missippi State,
so he's sec guards. It's all starting to happen. I
expect to hear it from ohway, maybe by the end
of the day, that he's going to come back to
cont Wait a minute, No, that's just my total feeling.
I have no inside knowledge.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
It seems like you're on You've had a tough run
on the scoop. Yeah, I'm just saying I wouldn't It
wouldn't surprise me if he just like this isn't no,
not at all. Billy came in here, Shannon and goes,
let me see your nose and see Ryan go see
it straight.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
And Billy goes, let's get a ruler out and make
sure it's straight.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
It does have a little cutover on the side. I
can see it got you.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
Yeah, I do feel bad for you. It feels like
it was at a friend in high school named DJ
who it felt like everything bad always happened to I
kind of feel like you. You've had a run of this. Yeah,
I mean your house caught on fire for crying fire.
You know, you've had a run of this. We need
to snap you out of it, you know. I don't

(18:50):
know how we do that.

Speaker 7 (18:51):
Maybe we need to go back to that place in
Denver and reverse the curse. The lemon like part of.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
The problem is you say things like instead of reverse
re averse.

Speaker 7 (19:00):
Well, that's a special kind of reverse.

Speaker 5 (19:02):
And when we went there, we bought stage to burn
and you dropped it in water.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
Yeah that's true. Twenty eighty seven. A couple of the
lines given shollers go to camera, go ahead.

Speaker 9 (19:11):
Camera, All right, guys, first time, long time? Who I was?
I was actually just calling. I got an employee that
has listened to your ALS radio show for about five years,
hasn't missed the day of it, and uh today I
hadn't heard from him. So I was actually calling because
I know he's listening. I was gonna call him to
him to get into work. And he knows who he

(19:32):
is Landing land.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
And he knows who he is land He knows you
Landon Landing. Why why do you think Landing is not
at work?

Speaker 9 (19:45):

hadn't called in once.

All right, So tell land And why he needs to
show up to work here at ten twenty six.

Speaker 9 (19:57):
Well, we got some wires that need told and he
ain't here to pull them.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
They got wires and he pulled and Landon is not
there to to pull them. Can you give me You
don't have to give me the town. If you don't,
what can you give me a part of the state
where Landon needs to be pulling the wires?

Speaker 9 (20:14):
Uh, he needs to be in Lexington. I'm sure he's
in Babyville right now.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
Okay, And that feels like there's probably a woman in
baby Is there a woman in Babyville?

Speaker 9 (20:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (20:27):
Yeah, that's those woolyworm women you got. You gotta be
careful with the woolyworm women. You gotta watch. All right.
I appreciate to call cam Landing. You need to leave
the wooly worm come pull your wires that you need
to be pulling in Lexington. That was a festival. We

(20:47):
were talking about festivals. We got the festival. That's a
that's a whole big thing. There was a girl when
I went to Trancy who was very pretty and she
had she was very meager like. She didn't not Meager's
not the word that meek. She didn't like talk a lot.
She was very pretty and she had a big accent,
and she would talk about the Wooly Worm Festival and

(21:07):
when she said it, she kind of made the guy's melt.
And I've always associated her with the Wooly Worm Festival.
So I feel like I can understand why Landon might
have stayed.

Speaker 7 (21:17):
Maybe it's her.

Speaker 5 (21:20):
H Imagine you're Landing, You're living your best life. Just
turn on your favorite radio show and you're getting called
out by your boss for not being there to pull wires.
That's gotta be a shocking thing to hear on them.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
You gotta gets well. Do you think if otag Away
were to decide to go to the draft, which I don't
think he's going to, I assume you Mark Pope probably
has in his mind a backup. Would you agree with that?

Speaker 5 (21:42):
I would think so, And he also would have a
lot of money to go get one. Yes, but just
the way he's been talking, the way that Oway is
not really projected anywhere. I mean, I don't want to
KSR curse anything or get a guarantee wrong, but I
just can't imagine he would take any other option but
the money on the table and the opportunity of Kentucky
next year.

Speaker 6 (22:00):
You know, Mark Pope told you he wouldn't do an
interview until his roster was finalized.

Speaker 7 (22:03):
Tells me that's true.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
That's he said. That's exactly what they said to me,
and then he did the interview.

Speaker 7 (22:08):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (22:08):
So yeah, I would think. So it's interesting that PJ. Haggerty,
dude from Memphis. There are reports he got a million
less dollars. He waited so long, really that team spent
more money on other things, and he basically had to
take a million less dollars. He was going to be
the highest paid player in college basketball and maybe now
he won't.

Speaker 5 (22:27):
And he ends up at Kansas State where they spent
a bunch of money last year and it didn't work out.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
I want to go to Kansas State. I don't get it.

Speaker 5 (22:33):
I don't know that they loaded up a year ago
and didn't do anything with him still there. No, he's uh,
he's a Virginia cavalier. Now, I think who goes in Virginia?

Speaker 4 (22:41):
I think so I didn't. I'll double check that, but
I think who goes over Virginia? Boy, I don't see
him in that system, do you know? Wow? All right?
Eight five nine, twenty two eighty seven. We will take
a break. Beer it backs KSR. TJ. Smith, personal injury
attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
Here's Matt Jones.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
Oh oh, by the way, that's gonna sound really weird
on the podcast. On the regular show. That sounds perfectly normal.
But me doing that on the podcast, and you gotta
remind me of that before I just moaned. That's my
favorite of the microphone.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
You're just yelling and singing falsetto at a random songs
that nobody else.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
All right, all right, folks. With basketball season over now,
it's a perfect time to tackle that remodel you've been
putting off. Friends. At State Renovations, they do kitchens, bass basements,
and even decks. They offer guaranteed pricing. No surprise, coach costs,
no nickeling diming along the way. The State renovations is
professional and BBN approved. Check them out State renos dot com.

(23:47):
That's a State R E n O S dot com
And if you mentioned ks R for June first, you'll
get half off your design agreement. That's by this week.
State renos dot Com Person Rights Matt. I love Ryan Lemon.
I just want to give him a hug. Tell him
if it were if if I were there, I would
hug him. That's very nice. I appreciate that.

Speaker 6 (24:09):
But that song is our Lemon Life theme song. I
believe because man, if it's if Lemon luck, if it's bad,
it's gonna happen to us.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
There's no doubt. People are making comments about what Landon's
doing at the Wooly Worm Festival. I can't read these
on the here folks. I understand. I mean there's I
mean I like the double on Tundras, but driven I can't.
I can't say those love here.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
UK baseball makes the NCAA tournament, all right, Hey didn't
look like they were going to. It was bad weekend
for him because all the bubble teams, like a lot
of the teams that were guaranteed in lost in their
conference tournaments, so there were a lot of stolen bids.
Western Kentucky stole one, cal poly Store stole one. Nebraska

(24:52):
won the Big Ten tournament, so it wasn't clear they
were going to be in. As a matter of fact,
than the final D one Baseball mock bracket, Kentucky was
the first team out. But then not only they make it,
the NCAA committee says they weren't even one of the
last four inns, so they were actually a lot more
in than we real Yes, so they go to Clempson.
They're in a region with West Virginia, Clempson and U
see us, excuse me, South Carolina, upstate West Virginia they

(25:15):
played last year in the tournament. You know they're in
a region where they have a fighting chance.

Speaker 6 (25:21):
You know that this really may be Minjeon's best coaching job.
Even though they went to the World Series last year,
they lost everybody off that team. They had like what
one starter bos They had one starter, Devin Burke was
their only starter back, lost all their weekend pitching staff,
and yet he rallied the team got him to where
they were making a getting the MTA tournament and they have,

(25:41):
so this really may go down.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
It's his best coaching jobs that he's been here.

Speaker 5 (25:45):
Yeah, I didn't feel great watching the selection show live
because the team cal Polly got a three seed. I
think Miami jumped in and stole someone spot. About halfway through,
we're kind of throwing our arms in their like this
isn't gonna end well for us. Then they get in
and I to draw looking up those teams. They're kind
of limping in. You avoided a lot of big names,
and just that stat of Kentucky leading and twenty eight

(26:07):
of thirty one SEC games gives me hope they can
compete with anyone if they can just finish the job.
The bull hen has to get bullpen has to get
it figured out moving on. But they can play some
good baseball and I like that spot. You don't have
to travel far. Oregon was projected on Sunday before it
all got shuffled around, so might get some fans there.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
So they play. They play Friday at noon against West
Virginia and then if they win, they would play Saturday,
probably evening against against Clemson. But they got a shot.

Speaker 6 (26:38):
Well, yeah, they've played against some of the best teams
in the country, which happened to be SEC teams. They
did fairly well going ahead to head against the top
level teams in the conference. Why can't they go down
there and win this thing?

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Why not us? Right?

Speaker 5 (26:48):
And just I don't know what men Jones has to
do to hit the reset, but that Vandy series and
then leaving six or seven people on base and Hoover
put that all behind you because they finished the Strong
this season very poorly.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
Forget about that.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
Move on, because they are capable of playing really good baseball.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
Yeah they are, and they got it, so they got
a shot. We were gonna go. And then I rouse
the KSR Golf Scramble is Friday, which makes it to
where it's gonna be unlikely for us to do it,
but I will be pulling for him. I looked up
they have the top one hundred and fifty players in
the country and only one person in this region is
in them. So, like the talent levels are, Clemson has

(27:24):
an outfielder that's projected to go in the first round.
His name is Cam We shouldn't throw to him. But
besides that, let's go, let's go win, and let's steal
more from West Virginia. It feels like we've been taking
We took their players both football and Basketball's true, and
we beat them last year in the tournament. Let's just
keep piling on West Virginia.

Speaker 5 (27:43):
Yeah, No, I checked. Our friends of DraftKings were plus
three hundred to win the regional. I might dabble on
that a little bit, make a little three to one
odds on that things fail off.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
It feels like plausible. Right, Yeah, it's not too bad.
I like it. I like said I like to draw.
I like the spot eight nine two eight zero twenty
two eighty seven. Congrat that's minion though, Yes, because I
mean even minji On himself told me I don't know
about this year, and now they were able to take
that first time she hadning in school history. They've made
three straight NCAA tournaments. Pretty amazing stat.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yup, he lost a lot from last year. He was
able to rebuild and put together a team to make
the tournament. So I think they can make some noise
in that region.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
And they got a lot of guys. I think it
will be back next year, so hopefully they will have
some continuity to going forward.

Speaker 6 (28:28):
Yeah, because he had to start with basically nothing Devin
Burke and go from there this year.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
So congratulations Tyler. How are you? Tyler?

Speaker 8 (28:39):
Pretty good? I know her name May and Austen, but
what did your future look like? Talking at Crystal Ball?
Speaking of women.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
First of all, she's married, but people have enjoyed that conversation.
I knew Crystal when she Crystal Ball is like, she
hosts a show called Breaking Points. She does not have
a brother named Basket like you said, Ryan, no cousin
name foot. But yeah, I knew her when she was
in Louisville. She uh, she lived in Louisville for a

(29:11):
few years. But she's great and that Did you enjoy
the interview or did you just want to like give
me a hard time?

Speaker 8 (29:17):
No, man, I've a I've I've really enjoyed every episode
of the podcast and the Sunday show with Myron. You
everything you guys are doing for us, We really appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
And I just wanted to call in and that's very nice. Okay,
thank you, thank you very much for that. Uh let
me give you quickly, guys, three things that happened uh
yesterday on the on the Matt and Myron Sunday Morning
Show to get your take on right. First of all,
we had Jamal mcglaur on, Oh you did, very excited
for you. So you know when they're playing this game

(29:48):
this summer, Stanning guess the Wildcat and they're bringing on
form like you gotta listen for this if you're at
Kentucky Fan. They're just bringing on former Wildcats all summer
to national ESPN Radio because they hear me talk about
Kentucky so much. We had Travis Ford on the first one.
They're got to make the questions harder because I guess
him immediately. They're like, he was the center from ninety six,

(30:09):
from ninety seven to two thousand. Oh, I think I
got that. But what they didn't realize, Shannon, is that's
like one of my two or three favorite players.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
When a player's name is part of your email address,
my email.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
Address years, for many years was mcglure fifty two at
hotmail dot com. When I posted on Kentucky Sports Report
dot com beginning in nineteen ninety seven, two, it was
mcglore fifty two.

Speaker 7 (30:37):
Wow, And yet I had.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
Never spoken to it.

Speaker 7 (30:40):
Really, i'd never talked to him.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
And he doesn't sound like you think you like you
probably remember, yes, But in your mind, Shannon Drew, think
about what you think. Jamal mcglure sounds like. He doesn't
sound like that. He sounds Canadian. He does accent very
Canadian as a matter of fact. And it threw me

(31:03):
off a little bit, Drew, because I'm expecting Jamal McLure.
I realized it had been so long, I didn't really
know what he sounded like, and then this like e
comes on and it was kind of shocking, to be honest.

Speaker 5 (31:15):
Of course, I remember Jamal McLure, loved watching him, but
I don't remember hearing any interviews or press conferences or
him talking at all back then, So that would throw
me off too. If he just started speaking right, he
is Canadian talking like Canadian.

Speaker 7 (31:26):
Didchi fanboy out a little bit for sure?

Speaker 4 (31:28):
Yeah? If you hear the intro, I'm like, we're doing
Remember when I no ided I was Remember when you
put Wojo in the rack? Hey, hey, do you remember
when you beat the mascot up from Miami of Ohio.

Speaker 6 (31:44):
He was the enforcer that has been missing from a
lot of UK team since then. He was a guy
you weren't gonna come down the lane, you weren't gonna
get easy, went with him back.

Speaker 4 (31:52):
There A couple of things about McLure too. People forget
mcglure was the very first college athlete to have his
own web page. Was he had Jamal mcglore dot com,
and the NCAA initially told him to take it down.
They said, we're not going to allow players to have
a presence on the internet. Now think about how ridiculous

(32:14):
that sounds today, But in like ninety eight he put
up his own website and the NCAA initially tried to
get it shut down. So he was a he was
a trailblazer. Shandon Jamal mcglure.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, now everybody's got a TikTok and you know profile
pages on social media.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
Send Jamal mcglure some thank you.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Did you tell him that mcglore fifty two was your persona?

Speaker 4 (32:38):
I did? I did, Okay, I couldn't. He didn't answer,
so I couldn't see his face if he thought that
was weird or not. But but for people who have
been on the internet a long time, I mean my
career was basically I posted on message boards as mcglore
fifty two, and I got a little bit of a following,

(32:59):
not much of one, but a little bit of a following,
then a little bit more, and then a little bit more,
and I was kind of for people in that era
who are probably in their forties. You might remember mcglure
fifty two, and that was kind of And that was
when I went to Kentucky Sports Report and said, will
you let me put this podcast up? And they said no,
they said we don't want that. And so then I

(33:21):
started Kentucky Sports Radio dot com just to have a
place to put my podcast because the people at Kentucky
Sports Report would not allow me to even post a
free one. So if they had just said yes, you
all probably wouldn't have to deal with me because I
would have just been a lawyer. But I was so
stubborn because everybody said no, yeah, that you ended up

(33:44):
with this? Did you try posting it to jamalmiglore dot com?

Speaker 5 (33:47):
Oh, he would have let me. What did he have
on that site? Did he TikTok dance and just upload
the video to everybody else?

Speaker 4 (33:53):
Will remember? I don't remember, but I remember it was
like a thing Jamal mcglure dot com.

Speaker 5 (33:58):
Also, you're fifty two? Wasn't he number forty two? How
did you come up with the high school number? Was fifty two,
so I could bumb the best of mcglor best of me.
Is he still talking about Jersey numbers? Not a lot
of fifty two? Two is a big number?

Speaker 4 (34:14):
Is he still coaching with the here the Raptors Community
Liaison in Toronto? Remember he was an NBA All Star
One year he was and he almost won the MVA.
People forget McLure was in the NBA All Star Guy.
He led the East in scoring for the game and
the West won at the end. But if the East
had won, He's MVP. Jamal mcglure might have been the

(34:36):
All Star MVP. We'll take a break, be right back.
It's gonna take you sports radio. Welcome back. Tell you
sports radio. If I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty
seven text machine seven seven two seven four five two
five four what person rights mad? I heard you with mcglore.
I could see your smile the whole time. I've never

(34:57):
heard you geek out like that since Patty Loveless. That's
probably true. It was a Patty Loveless esque geek. It's
our three of Matt Myern. If you downloaded online, did.

Speaker 7 (35:07):
They know your affinity for Jamal mcglaure, No, so they
had no idea.

Speaker 4 (35:10):
They just booking random Kentucky people. They had no idea
until I said, like they just you know, they're trying
to get people who went to Kentucky. That will come on.
But also we can talk about something male. So I'm
not just sitting there going you remember Kentucky stand for
dame like they want to make and you know, because
he was in the NBA for so long and all that, they.

Speaker 6 (35:29):
You know, after his junior year he went through the
process and it was a big deal.

Speaker 7 (35:34):
Was he going to come back for senior year or
going in to.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
The cnbator playing the NBA for twelve years? Yeah, like
people know, reals twelve years he was in the NBA.
That's pretty good. You would you have imagined when he
was a French of a sophomore in college that dude
would have been in the NBA for twelve years old.

Speaker 6 (35:47):
And like we said, not just in the NBA. He
was a force, an All Star that one season.

Speaker 4 (35:51):
He was good one person rights Matt. My wife and
I were going to church and I got her to
turn on your show and then you made her furious
when you said that what you said about the Indy
five hundred as an Indianapolis native. She made me turn
it off. I did make a comment that made some waves.
What was it? I said, the Indy five hundred, Shannon

(36:13):
was like the Kentucky Derby for people who don't shower.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
I can get behind that. I like that comment, and
it did.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
The phone lines lit up with people from from Indiana,
including people at the race that were not happy. Man, Yeah,
but I stand by the Derby is classy. Five hundred
is trashy exactly, That's exactly right. The Indy five hundred
is like, you know, you're smelling exhaust fumes. How you
can't be that nice when you're smelling exhaust fumes the

(36:45):
whole time?

Speaker 6 (36:46):
Twice as many people, right, three hundred thousand. It's not
a competition.

Speaker 4 (36:50):
As to who it's. The question is what is that?
What is a more? But you have seen what goes
on in the infield to Derby, but it's gotten a
little class Here was on the infield at the Derby
is Millionaire's row at.

Speaker 7 (37:06):
I'm just saying Dave Letterman's usually always there.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
So they were very mad at me, but I just
doubled down on it, and then I kept my line
about Indianapolis as the Applebee's of cities. You know, you
wage war.

Speaker 8 (37:18):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (37:19):
I do think Indianapolis outside of when they have a
big event is like it's just a strip mall. It's
one big strip mall, and then five hundred. While it's enjoyable,
is also just one big strip mall in some ways.

Speaker 6 (37:31):
I'm from Indiana, grew up watching it. I went one
time and said, I will never come back to this event.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
We were just there in March. Was much to write
home about.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
No, I mean, it was fun. It was fun. The
tin roof was fun. But it's okay to do something else. Jordan,
go ahead, Jordan.

Speaker 10 (37:47):
Hey, so I was gonna ask you a question. I
actually have a couple of questions. The first thing, though,
is I'm gonna be in loyal actually this week. And
I know that Drew doesn't want to golf and I
don't know about you guys. So what is a good
golf course there that I could go to? Is my
first question.

Speaker 4 (38:06):
We've got more golf course questions than we've uh than
we've ever gotten. Well, I thought pursuing Bridge Wash was public,
but it's not. I don't know. Like the problem is that.

Speaker 10 (38:17):
Every time I booked a covered bridge.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
So yeah, that's nice. That's fine. No, actually, covered bridge
is really nice. But that's in southern Indiana. Yeah, yeah,
that's that's uh, that's a really nice course you could.
That's a good that's a good call. And then what's
the one, what's the other one over there in southern Indiana?
The one you and I've played what was the name
of that one in southern Indiana.

Speaker 5 (38:38):
I've played golf with you in southern Indiana.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
Yeah, we played it at a resort one time. I
don't think that was me, Okay, well, it was just
it was a it was someone that made me think
of you. Uh, but yeah, covered bridge is a good call.
The problem is all the courses in Louisville they're either
run by the city. Uh, and there is there's one
run by the city though. That's the name of a
person that's pretty good. What's that whichever one if you

(39:01):
look at Louisville city courses, is the Charlie? That's it.

Speaker 5 (39:05):
I pulled up a list. I don't recognize a lot
of these, but that's a name.

Speaker 4 (39:08):
Yeah, the one that's a name. That one, that one's
pretty good too. So enjoy yourself.

Speaker 6 (39:12):
Good luck, you covered Bridge the Fuzzy Zeller course.

Speaker 7 (39:15):
Yes, we did a show out there way back in
the day.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
Well, that's right. For the uh it was the Epilepsy Scrapes.
It was wow. Yep, we sure did well. That is
a time Yeah, that was a long time ago for
the for the Epilepsy Scramble. Yeah eight nine two oh
uh twenty eighty seven. A couple open lines I have.
I have some recommendations for you of things to pass

(39:39):
your okay, And these are recommendations that I think every
single person you know, sometimes I'm like, this may not
be your thing, Like the book all fours, don't keep
bringing that up. I told you not to read in
Shannon unless you were a certain kind of person, you know,
James and Martyr, Yes, all for that was that was
not for everybody? Are these three for everybody? Book? I'm

(40:03):
reading and I almost finished, they got like twenty pages left.
The Pete Rose Charlie Hustin, Oh yeah, everyone would like it.
Whether you like Pete Rose, whether you hate Pete Rose,
whether you like baseball or don't like baseball. It is
a great book. I have learned more about him than
I knew before, including some things that are bad about

(40:23):
him that I didn't even know it happened. Uh, But
it's also just a story of a person who was
kind of a normal, troubled person who all of a
sudden gets thrust into national spot like and I also
don't really didn't realize what a national superstar he was.
Like the fact that the Today Show went live from Cincinnati.
They did their show in Cincinnati when it looked like

(40:45):
he was gonna break Ty Cobbs record. Think about that. Yeah,
could you see that happening for any baseball thing now?
Probably not not today, not today.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
They didn't do it for Aaron Judge.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
I mean, who knew that? So that's that's one second thing.
I think everyone outside of like college kids and younger
would like the show four seasons on Netflix with Tina
Fay and Steve Carrell. Have you seen I've been watching them.
I think I've seen three or four of them. Not
the best, but I do think it's a good time
pass or you could watch it and it gets better
as it goes.

Speaker 5 (41:15):
Short episodes too short episodes first episode me, but as
you keep going it gets better, and then I think
the last few are actually really good.

Speaker 4 (41:23):
I think Ryan, you would really like it. It's about
fifty something couples. It's like, you're perfect, it's you would
really enjoy it. And then again it's not great, but
I think everyone could enjoy the show with John hamm
breaking into people's house. I watched four of those last night.
It's pretty good. Friend. It's John ham You know, he's

(41:44):
like again in his fifties, middle aged, handsome, and now
he's like he's breaking into people's yes, because he he
lost his job and he doesn't know what to do,
and so he just takes all his rich friends and
then he breaks into their houses.

Speaker 7 (41:59):
I watched a little TV this weekend.

Speaker 4 (42:01):
Okay, but before you get to your awful TV, those
are three good recommendation Charlie Hustle, four seasons and Friends
and Neighbors. I can give those all a stap of approval.
Now go ahead, pee wee Herman. It's a good good,
it's really good. You liked it yes on HBO? Yes?
And what made it good? He's awesome. I'm sol I'm in. Well,

(42:25):
there you go.
