Speaker 3 (00:59):
Welcome to two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Now Here's Matt Jones waterback.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
I re number two Tucky Sports Radio eight five nine
two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Couple open lines.
You can give us a shout after the contest. Uh.
The text machine is seven seven two seven seven four
five two five four. The week kind of a slow
week with the draft is tomorrow. Uh, Kentucky guys hopefully
will be will be picked. Reed Shepherd probably looks like
(01:28):
he'll stay in Houston after the Durant deal. He wasn't
part of it. I thought there was a chance if
they made a big deal he could get shipped off
in it. So now Reed Shepherd's gonna play with Kevin Durant.
That's kind of exciting.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Yeah, and should get a big step up in minutes too.
I mean they traded away two guards in that back court,
so I'd say Reid's gonna be a big piece coming
off the bench.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
Maybe one day when you went into starting point guard.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
You could end up with a situation where Reid's like
Cason Wallace playing on a really good team, playing fifth
six man minutes here even next year, depending on how
good they are.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Reid's already done hundred things, no unexpected. But I mean
we're two years removed from him just transitioning from North
Laurel to UK. And now you're telling me, I mean
he could be in the finals next year passing to
Kevin Durant.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I mean he literally was playing against Barber Bulle in
the two and a half years ago. And now he's
gonna be like, Hey Durant, A KD get open, I
got you.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
And they're the second or thirdish favorite to win it
next year behind the Thunder. I mean there'll be a contender,
just some nuts that it's gonna be Read Shepherd and
Kevin Durant.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
You'll like this The Matt Jones Show. This week we
have two different episodes. Would you like to hear the
two guests please. One guest is going to be an
expert on the Iran Israel conflict, okay, and the other
guest is Aaron Fleener.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Where that's not the same guest.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Aaron Fleener the caddy for JT Post and that's he's
going to talk about what it's life is like as
a caddy on the PGA tour. Sure I can seeails
are two. They were not putting them on together. I
don't think they would. I don't think they would have
the same, the same thing going.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I'd be interested here Aaron Fleaner's thoughts on the war.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
All right, so let's I had somebody ask me about
this yesterday, and I do think it's important to remember
sometimes we talk about a subject and the average person
listening might not even know what we're talking about. And
we were talking about the whole quote unquote motivated Mark Stoops. Yes,
and there were people who wrote me and said, I
have no idea what you're talking about. Because we have
to remember that. I say this all the time, only
(03:22):
like ten percent of our fan base is on Twitter.
I mean, think about how many people are listening to
this that are not on Twitter. It's a massive amount
of people, yes, And then there's a ton of our
fan base that's like only on Facebook, something I don't
even get on really, and all you got to do
(03:43):
is look at the comments sections and things to see those.
And then there's this whole ton of the fan base
it's only on TikTok, right, and won't see it. They're
the ones that know Mario better than they know a
lot of the rest of us. Yep, So everybody's different.
I so just quickly the explanation and then This is,
(04:04):
you know, goes to the question of what they should do.
We all agree that right now UK football has almost
nothing to market. Would we agree? Yes? Let's say you
were in charge of marketing for UK football and they
said market this season and get everybody going, what would
you pick?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I've probably proped Calzada up there, our quarterback in.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
But how many what percent of our fans know what
he looks like?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
That's why that's why I would do it. I would
prop him up and make him say to the program.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Calzada, do your fan? Do you think our fans would
even know what that means?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
That's why I think the marketing program needs to be
get that out there.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
So what would you say about it?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
He's old on the new face of the U of
the UK football program. There here's our guy right here.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
That's not a great sloan.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
No, but I wouldn't start with it.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
What about you, Shannon? What would you market UK football?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Come see us or don't?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
The dude?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Well, very queen for me.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
If you're trying come see us or no, what would
you do?
Speaker 7 (05:15):
Well?
Speaker 5 (05:15):
This is their problem. I've mentioned this several times. They
don't have anything to really say.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Well, look at this. Get excited about this.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
They don't players we know?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Yeah, I would say, concession stands closed.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
We have our act together. We are no longer going
to eat during games. Our bad apples are gone. Look
at this culture, culture, Look at this brand new locker culture.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Yeah this before we get left, let me give you
just dad series text machine seven seven two seven seven
four five two five four. I know UK people listen
to show every day. I'm a big believer in collective
intelligence is better than individual intelligence. Usually, give me a suggestion,
(06:00):
serious suggestion if you for those of you, and because
I'll read a few of them in UK, will hear it?
Seven seven two seven seventy four five two five four
of the textans what would you market? Because I don't
know the answer. The coach is not popular, we're coming
off a terrible season, the culture was bad, and we
(06:21):
have no players than anyone knows. Other than that, I
don't know what you but other than that, how was
the how was the play? Miss Lincoln?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
You're right, you know in years past, when we were
kind of in this situation, will levis ate a banana
with the appeal on it, he kind of it just
gave it to us, so will.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Levis was a naturally charismatic guy who also was like
highly touted.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Maybe Calzada is that guy too. We just don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I don't any think about him.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Do you think he's I don't know, he's not highly touted.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
He was out of high school.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Yeah, and that was the seventies. It hears.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Even though it's a good program and it produced the
number one pick like him coming from a carnate word,
it's hard to put on word. It's hard to it's
hard to mar yea from incarnate word to that's that's
a tough move.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
So se we say we got rid of our dog.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
That's the new slogan. We let the dog out. You
just throw vents under the bus.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Oh that's interesting. We let the dog out, so market
it around.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
We lost our dog.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
No, we all start dog sounds bad. We let the
dog town. So so the point of all that is
to say, with so little to grasp onto, there have
been a group of fans on the internet who really
don't like Mark Stoops. I think it all really goes
(07:48):
back to the whole basketball school football school comment. They
kind of said it sided with cow and they blamed
him right. And by the way, they're well in the
football program who sided with Stoops and hated Cow. But
Stoops has not had success since that happened, so they
(08:09):
don't like him. So they started this. Every time he
does something or says something or is seen out, they
would just go, oh, he's motivated, but it's like a
sarcastic thing. He's motivated, and it became like, any time
you want to criticizing motivated Mark Stoops. And my reaction
(08:32):
to that is, well, you can't tell people, hey, don't
make fun of our coachs, Like that's not gonna work, right,
So the easiest way is for them to embrace it
and just make it to where this thing that's used
to criticize him, they say, this is what we are.
(08:53):
I'm open to a better idea, but I don't have one.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
They need to do something because the silent from UK
to football and the media people have been deafening over
there at.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
UK and that picture, which I think a guy named
Shannon flim flam Mate.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah, flim Flam flim.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Flam I think is as good as any so it
might is that a terrible idea?
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Yeah, but there's nothing better. It is a terrible idea,
but it is a terrible idea. I mean, do you
want to embrace your coaches love for alcohol and no, no.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
No, I'm not saying you can take the alcohol and
the cigarette out of this. I'm just saying to you
the idea of using I'm not saying smoke. I don't
even think he smokes cigarettes. You know, you don't have
him out there just pounding SIGs. I'm saying, like, but
the idea of that being we're gonna take this thing
(09:48):
we know you're giving us a hard time about, and
we're going to try to make it fun. I think
that's better than anything else because they're not going to
stop making fun of him. So you know, it's like
when people kept when I was in college at Trancy,
the other fraternities occasionally would say we were dorks. So
we just started wearing shirts that said dorks and beating
(10:08):
them in sports. It took away their things, right, Yeah,
it took it away. You call me a stupid liberal,
Well I'll just say I'm a stupid liberal, and I
take that away from you. Why wouldn't you do that
for this?
Speaker 6 (10:22):
I'm all for it. I think they should completely lean
into it. I mean yesterday. Did you see they tweeted
motivation Monday?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
So do you think that was for that?
Speaker 5 (10:28):
I don't think that was intentional. I hope it was.
Do you think was looking pretty slim in that photo?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Okay? I wanted to bring that up. If I may
compliment the footballers, I'm going to give you something that
years ago I had someone at UK say to me
talking about Cow and Stoops. They used to say that
they would judge how good Cow and Stoops were gonna
do by based on how thin they were, that their
(10:55):
weight would fluctuate based on where their state of mind was.
And if you go back and look, there's some correlation
to that. Stoops looks as thin as he's looked in
a long time. Did you see the picture of Cow
at the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Game looking swaggy?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Did you see that down a lot of weight.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Had a style of shirt on.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Maybe Arkansas is gonna be better than we thought too.
But Stoops is like that too. Stoops, this is the
trimest Stoops has been in a while. You know why
I'm grasping for things here, Shannon, I know that, but
I'm looking for something right.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Well, maybe you know the years passed when they were bad.
He was stress eating.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
I don't know. Well, in your life, when you've put
on weight, are you in a good place? Usually not?
Usually not. Usually, it's usually because you're going through stress,
you're eating badly, you're not exercising. I can look it through.
I can go through my pictures in my life and
I can see the weight flow and it usually corresponds
(11:58):
to what kind of mood I was in.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
And at the time you're talking me into Kentucky football
in twenty twenty five, I'm.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Saying, you got thinner, motivated stoops, you're.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
In the building more, you're by the treadmill, the ways,
the nutrition you.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Got Calzada not quite time to collect AARP and so
he's still able to get it going.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
We're gonna crush Toledo so bad. Oh yeah, I'm trying.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Mbury, Go ahead, mbury.
Speaker 8 (12:31):
First time, long time? Who are first time? Long time?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Thank you?
Speaker 8 (12:37):
Then, I always appreciate when you guys do you're the legislator,
and so what do you think about the bill?
Speaker 4 (12:44):
I actually have that on my plate for eleven thirty,
But go ahead?
Speaker 8 (12:49):
Is it Senate Bill won eighty one?
Speaker 4 (12:52):
I don't know what I don't know the numbers, so
I'm not sure.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Oh okay, Well, it's the Kentucky Senate bill that we
that is establishing at precible communication electronic communication between students,
and that.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Is on my list. If you will hang on, that
is on my list. I appreciate the call. I have three.
If you were the legislator, what would you do? And
that is on my list. I will do that. At
eleven thirty. What why are you just staring off in
the space. I'm looking at you, waiting for a respect.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I thought she was getting out of response. You get
appreciate her call. I thought she was getting ready to say something.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I did appreciate her call. Swag Sandwich, go ahead, that's
really a name. Swag Sandwich.
Speaker 9 (13:34):
Hey man, I'm gonna assume you're doing good and not
ask thank you. I got a question on the rev
split and the Chicken Man. How do you think that's
going to affect Caliperry in Arkansas? And do you think
that they will get a more higher percentage for their
basketball team than we will?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
No? No, they they their percentage will be less for
basketball than ours because they Arkansas fans desperately want to
be good at football. And they desperately want to be
good at baseball. So I would actually argue that basketball.
For most Arkansas fans, basketball is definitely second, and for
(14:16):
some of them it would be third.
Speaker 9 (14:20):
Wasn't like they're like big thing, like now's going to
get all this money and now it's the REV splits condoct.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Well, I mean they'll still get the like I think
he'll still be able to get like Tyson will probably
sign these people to INIL deals. But if they enforce
the thing where the deals have to be real, then
they'll still have to be real. One of the things
we don't know, and I appreciate the call, is whether
or not this whole rule that comes into place that
deals you give outside of the REV share inile deals
(14:47):
have to be real deals, they have to be market value.
If they enforce that, it changes everything. Now are they
going to enforce it, Drew? I don't know. They say
they are, but I want to see it first.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
How do they How can they really Oh, what's a
real deal? I don't know, because like and also what
just stops people from buying the heck out of T shirts?
Like someone ain't really rich? Maybe they even go by
the NIO rules and still overpay for a product or whatever.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
The theory of making laws, you're always every law. You
can't not make a law by saying somebody is going
to break this, because people will try to get around
every law. The question is is that the best law
you can make as a base. Whatever they do, people
are going to try to get around it. I just
want to see do they try to enforce it, even
at its most basic level, right, and we'll have to
(15:36):
see they say they will. I think schools have an
incentive to do it because they want to stop paying
all this money. But we'll see if they do.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I think it's gonna be hard to police because obviously
doing a deal in Lexington or Fayetteville is a little
differ than if you're in Chicago.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
But they can at least hire a private company that
is responding to shareholders to do it, so it's not
just a couple people. It is a is this that
does give me in some encouragement? Right, they're paying this
company to do it, the company is beholden to their shareholders.
I think they're gonna have to try to do it now.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Whether it works, yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Who knows. Summer weather has arrived. Shady excuse me. Cornbread
Hemp is offering a free four pack of free four
pack of four Seltzers. That's true, four pack of four
seltzers with every order over seventy five dollars. They just
sent me some the other day. You use use the
code Summer SIPs Summer SIPs if you get if you
(16:33):
get your regular gummies or oils, use Summer SIPs and
you can get a free four pack of Seltzers to
try them. It's pretty good, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Some of them are really good summer SIPs.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
So use that's a cornbread hint between me and you.
Tough slogan, Summer SIPs, Summer SIPs. Use cornbreadhimp dot com
Summer simps for a free four pack of Seltzers with
any order over seventy five or more. It's cornbread Hemp.
We'll be right back, summer set well back in his
Kentucky sports radio. Uh, we got a message from Matt
(17:08):
Jones hoops training.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
He sent you a message.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
He sent me a message.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
What did he say?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
He said, this is the other Matt Jones of Lexington.
Just all respect to coach Pope in the program as
a person who teaches shooting for a living. I just
have a difference in opinion when it comes to shooting.
Fair enough, it's not exactly what he said on Instagram.
You would think. See, that's the difference between real life
(17:33):
people and then what they are on social media. In
real life. He goes, all respect to coach Pope, I
just disagree with him about shooting online. He goes, this
is what's all with college coaches, Burbler, b Breah. It's
a different thing. And I'm sure Matt Jones shooting hoops
is great. But like you know, that's different than what
(17:54):
you would say if he was standing there.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yeah, you would think a young guy starting a business
about hoops, basketball, shoot training. You want to get on
board with the head coach of the university in your city.
I think you want to kind of go hand in
hand with him, not fight the guy.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
All right, let's go through some of these suggestions on
what UK football can do to market, Shannon. We'll see
if you like it. All right, Uh, Number one market,
Our opponents come to come to Kroger Field and you
can see really good teams play.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
So it's not even about our own team, it's about
everybody else.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
I know.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Sadly, that popped in my head when you asked me
for ideas.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Right. One person says, Uh, we're just getting started again, Bro, We're.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Just restarting, restarting, Bro, We're just getting restarted.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Okay. I like that. I like that. One One person says, Matt,
brad White has been fired up on Twitter. He's actually
really gotten me into it. Maybe they should give him
more of a voice. Might be a good idea. I've
always liked brad White. Maybe make him more of a thing.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
And I think that's the strength of the team this year,
the defense. Well, maybe they should lean into that a
little bit.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
What person says Matt. They've gotten totally away from a
lot of the fan outreach they did early. Haven't had
a women's clinic in six years. They need to have
ways for fans to meet the players and do more
things to get us to care. One way or the other,
totally agree with that. They've got lazy on all of
that stuff. When the women's clinic used to be a
big thing, even when we stunk, women really lie they
(19:22):
got to go. There was always this fun stuff. They've
just completely gotten away from that. COVID gave everybody an
excuse to do all this, stop doing all this stuff
they didn't want to do. They need to go back to.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
It, women's clinic, what about a spring game. They used
to fill that stadium or you know, at least have
a decent turnout for a spring game. This thing last
year is almost like they didn't want anybody there.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Spring game, fan day, women's clinic, all these things. And
this is if they're going to do it, this is
the year wherehen they need to do it to get
the fan base back on board.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
What about this is a slogan Kentucky Football, Embrace the mystery.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Who the hell knows what's gonna happen out there?
Speaker 4 (20:04):
It's a mystery. It's gonna be a complete mystery. Anything
could happen.
Speaker 10 (20:08):
I like kill.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
We all want this program to succeed, but when we
see what's coming to end next year and the schedule
they've got, it's just one of gonna be one of
the toughest season we've had since we've started doing this show.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Listen, we'll be into it leading into the Toledo game.
If we win, we'll be into it leading in the
Old Miss game. Butmer, but remember preseason games start early
this year and they're against good teams in basketball, and
most of our home games are in the first six
weeks of the season. We only have one think about this,
we only have one home game in November.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I didn't realize that one.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
If this team isn't good, this fan base will check
out in October. They'll just check out, they will. John
one minute is that he has aunt on there is
all right, Well, let me take Jonathan and then I'll
go to him. Jonathan, I got about a minute.
Speaker 11 (20:58):
Okay, if you guys have time, well, I love to
you talk about maybe drafting on all UK teams in
the NBA like current players and talk about how good
they are or how how far do you think they
could go on playoffs?
Speaker 7 (21:11):
And I will do that.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
I will do it right now, but I appreciate the call.
We can do that at some point. Remember, tomorrow is
unpopular opinion day. Yes it is. Don't forget unpopular part.
All right, Matt Jones, the shooting instructor is on the phone.
Is he really okay? Matt Jones, the shooting instructor, how
are you, sir? First of all, great name.
Speaker 12 (21:30):
It's it's a wonderful name. It's a tough one here,
Inkington sometimes trying to differentiate a little bit.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Yeah, does that annoy you do? People like, does that
annoy you to have the same name? I would understand
if it did.
Speaker 12 (21:43):
I mean, we have the most common name on earth.
I think so. I don't think we either of us
could be probably too mad about it.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Okay, well what so what you put that comment on
Pope's thing? Looking back? Did it express what you wanted
to express?
Speaker 12 (22:00):
Yes, it did. I'm just saying in general, it could
be any college coach, because I've had these discussions with
others where to me, I just think it's a little
it's off to me where you know, you'll spend a
million dollars to get a role player who's eighth man
on the roster, but programs won't invest eighty or one
hundred k to pay a shooting coach to help develop shooting.
(22:22):
You know, everyone's trying to recruit shooting all over the
place and will pay dumb money to go get a
Shooter's like, why the why is developing shooting not also
a piece of this because it's.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
But I think this point was. I think his point was,
I have a choice between a number of players. I'm
at Kentucky. I want to get guys who have good
mechanics and then teach them other things rather than teach
them mechanics. What's wrong? Why would that be a bad opinion.
Speaker 12 (22:49):
I don't think that's a terrible opinion. I just think
how many of those guys when you look at it,
you say, oh, he's got a beautiful shot with great mechanics,
like very You know, if you have five guys on
your roster at any place who can really shoot, your
doing well? Or it's like why why can't we try
to develop two or three more?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
So you stand by your comment that what Pope said
is what's wrong with college coaches.
Speaker 12 (23:11):
Yeah, I stand by I stand by it. I just
think when you see the money that's being thrown around,
it's like, you know, you'll pay crazy money. Why not
spend a legius a little bit of money and bring
someone in that well.
Speaker 4 (23:24):

More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Here's Matt Jones, quarterback Kentucky sports radio. I'm just sitting
there talking with the guys about my new you know,
given the sneakers away on that I leave them around Lexton, Louisville,
like on the sides of the road.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
That's kind of cool. You got a one in one
out policies, and.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
One in one if I get a new pair of shoes,
one of them's go. I'm out of space. I have
no more space. So there's a one in one out policy.
So when new ones come in, one of them's got
to go.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
How do you decide which one to get rid of?
Speaker 4 (24:09):
The one I like the least, you know, I mean
I have I have a lot. I probably have like
two and fifty. So what are you laughing at? Yeah,
exactly one of each. But then if one one comes out,
I'll go. Sometimes I'll give it's a good will but
(24:29):
you know some of them are nice, Like I don't
want somebody just walks in good with so I want
them for people who need them. So I've given them
way to middles people in Middlesborough like the And then
sometimes I leave them on the street and they'll be
gone five minutes later because I figure like somebody will
pick them up that needs them.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
So they're gonna come a day.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I put some rods out the other day, so somebody's
walking around, but I'll drive them to different parts of town.
I want to leave them always in the same place.
So I left a pair of let's a pair of
lebrons on Frankford Avenue and they were shaying and then
just gone. Of course five minutes.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Later, they're not gonna sit out there all day. You know,
somebody's gonna pick them up.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
So you'll be driving your car look over and somebody's
be walking.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
That would make me very happy. Actually, yeah, yeah, that
would that would be nice. If I'm nine to two
eight twenty two eighty, say all right, let's do our.
I'm gonna give you an issue currently being debated in Kentucky,
and you're gonna tell me what you would do, what
you would vote if you were in.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
The legislation corner's in session right now. Let's go.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
The first one is what the woman just said. Yeah,
they have they are taught a bill pass a bill
that would say teachers cannot email or text students without
doing it through an official system where the school system
would be able to see all correspondents between so they
(25:55):
cannot email or text a student. They can only send
it through this thing it's called like parent scope or whatever,
in order to contact the student. And that also includes
for now social media as well, meaning no likes on Facebook,
no following on Instagram without going through this system to
(26:15):
where it could always be reviewed by the school board.
Do you like it or do you not like it?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I like it and I hope that it's like they
extend it to the evenings and the weekends where maybe
kids needs everything.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
It's for it's until they graduate.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
That I like it because a lot of times these
kids are their home life is not good. Maybe the
teacher is the only person they trust and can depend.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Now that you're making an argument a different way, you
got it backwards, You got it backwards. This bans it.
You can't make any of these things without well, you
can communicate with them, but you have to go through
this thing called parent scope or whatever that the parents
would have access to, the school would have access to.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
As long as they have access to it some in
some capacity.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
But would you worry about on the parents having act
Like what if it's what you said, like, maybe their
parents are abusing.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
That that's it, you know, abuse kids may be hungry.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
So are you for it or against it?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I don't want to ban it.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
I'm for it now. The other side would say, though teachers.
I think they said one hundred and ninety four teachers
have been suspended in the last three years for inappropriate
communication with students. Sixty percent of it was like sexually
inappropriate in Kentucky. I think that's what the article that
made number to make. But it was it was higher
than I thought.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
It was really high if it's just Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
So what do you think.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
I support the bill moving to the parent app just
for the reason you just said. I feel like I
see way too many stories on the internet, not really
just in Kentucky, but everywhere of teachers crossing the line
with students.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Numbers worry though about like, let's what if they're saying,
my parent is doing this? They don't they can say.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
I do think you would need another avenue for that
one caveat there of that. They need a way to
be able to reach.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
The teachers should be able to like posts on Facebook, Instagram. No,
not even like, but not even like hey I got
into trancy okay there without going through official things.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
So sorry to all the good teachers out there. There's
many more good than bad, but there's too many weird
bad ones.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
All right, Shannon, what do you vote?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I would vote for this parent scope app. I think
that it keeps both sides accountable. You have a way
to go back and see all communication outside of school.
If you have an issue with your parents at home,
you could talk to the teacher in person. So I
don't think there's any reason. I'm not gonna name.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Any any are you? Okay, go ahead?
Speaker 3 (28:49):
But I have a friend whose daughter gets snapchats from
her teacher.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
And that is just that, And this is why I think.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
You need that that's inappropriate.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Do you do you like that the school board has
access to all communications? Is that worry you at all?
The collection of all that stuff?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
No, I think you know, if you're a teacher and
you're communicating with the student, it needs to be documented.
It needs to be where everybody can see.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Yeah, I'm generally on your side. I'm probably I vote
for it. I'm there's a couple parts. I don't know
that the liking of a comment on Facebook isn't this
because again we don't that's actually public that it's done that.
But in general, I'm for it, and uh so we're
three to one. This would pass our legislature, Ryan being
the dissenter.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yeah, I don't want to ban it. I think too
many kids need help sometimes.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
All right. Robo taxis Austin, Texas just approved it and
it may get brought up soon. Uh in Louisville in
the next couple of years potentially then Lexington robo taxis
no driver, so instead of Uber in Austin right now
they're doing for the entire summer for four dollars. You
(29:58):
can take a robo tax see anywhere, which, of course
is try to get you hooked. Yeah, no driver, would
you if you were on the Louisville City council, would
you vote yes to robotaxis?
Speaker 6 (30:12):
I support robotaxis.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
I have not ridden in one, but I've been in
the Tesla's when someone's driving, and I've seen the car
like it literally knew someone was stepping off the sea.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
I got one in Austin when we were for the
football game and someone was stepping off the sidewalk and
it showed it on the screen and the car stopped.
So I trust them enough. Hell, they're better than.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Actual drivers us more than people. Most people.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Yes, you don't worry about getting hacked.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Drive down Winchester Road and you would want nothing but
robo let's.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Say, But what about the hacking thing? That's what worries
me is that I agree with you in general, the
robotaxis are probably better drivers than the average person. But
what happens if a foreign power hacks all of our
cars and rexamend each other and you cannot stop it.
That's what worries me. Now, granted, I don't know if
that's like, I don't know the likelihood, I don't know
(31:02):
the science, but that does worry me because at least
there's a human that stops it. If we don't have that,
what happens if we get hacked?
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Add that to the list of problems that our world
will be facing in the years to come.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
All right, so you're for it? What about you?
Speaker 7 (31:16):
Right?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I don't think I would do it, but I'm for it.
I don't know. I don't know if I'm.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
There yet before it, but you wouldn't get in it.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
I wouldn't get in it before it, but I don't
think I'm not there yet. I will step into it
and trust.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
So you would take it too.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Drew Oh yeah, all ready for it.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
I know there are terrible human drivers that exist, Ryan Lemon,
but I don't know that I'm going to trust a robot.
I saw a video a couple of weeks ago of
a guy who was late for his flight at an
airport because he was stuck in one of these cars.
It was in a parking lot and continually just doing
a circle and he could not get out of it.
And that's the type of thing that I would worry
(31:53):
about if I got into one of these robo cars.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
So do you think, Okay, so you wouldn't want to
get in it, but would you make it legal?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
No? No, not no, I want I want human drives.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Okay. So I'm today a no, but open to one
day being a yes. Here's the reason i'm no. If
we continue to take jobs from everyone.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Yeah, that's another side of it too.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
I mean, now we're not even gonna have uber drivers.
Wait until we get this is all a step to
no truck drivers. Okay, wait till there's no truck driver.
Think about what a huge part of our economy it
will be not to have cross country truck drivers. If
all the drivers go away, that is a massive part
(32:38):
of our economy gone, What.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Are we gonna do, like when all of our jobs
are taken?
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Like America, I don't think America or the world has
really contemplated what is going to happen when all of
these jobs go away. It'll be easy to know, Joe Budden,
Donald Crump. No, this is just this is humanity. Like
fifteen percent of the workforce is just going to disappear.
(33:04):
And what are we gonna do. Are we just going
to all just pay for the people that don't work,
or are we just gonna let them start? Like, I
don't know what we're gonna do, cause it's gonna happen.
Like it's easy to talk about people who don't work
now and go they get off their butt and they
need to do this, and I'm not even disagreeing with that,
but soon there's gonna be people who want to be
(33:24):
off their butt, who want to be doing something, and
there will not be enough jobs. They are going to
go away, and then what and so this is a
step in that direction. So it worries me. I'm not
saying I can't ever be for it, but you just
take it. Just imagine if every truck driver is put
out of work, we had a ton of truck drivers
(33:46):
listening right now. What if they're all put out of work?
Those are good jobs that pay a lot of money
and they're just gonna be gone. Do people think about that?
We better?
Speaker 3 (33:59):
I agree one hundred perc on on that.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
I mean, that's almost here the truck. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
And if you're a business, and I'm not saying I
agree with this, but to not have a driver, I
have a truck that.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
Can go all night, probably.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Don't have to pay the salary, don't have to pay
health care. I mean it's of course they're all going
to do it.
Speaker 6 (34:20):
That's why it's here.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Of Course they're all going to do it. And so
like we have to make laws, we cannot just turn
all this over to technology. To put it a different way,
I don't really trust a lot of people in leadership
to make laws, but I trust them more than I
trust these tech people who just want to save money. True, right,
(34:42):
because it's gonna be I mean, this is coming and
it's coming soon, and we are not ready for it.
We are not thinking about these things. Because when all
those jobs are gone, what do you do?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
All those families?
Speaker 4 (34:59):
What do you do? Like, who's gonna buy the stuff.
If they don't work to have the money right, all.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
These factories will be robotic.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Told people a salary to not work, I mean otherwise.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
We have told generations for thirty years the safest job
you could go get was to go be a computer programmer.
We told kids that forever. Those people are all going
out of work. All these people who went and got
computer science degrees, except for the top top ones, they're
all gonna lose their jobs programmers. And we told them
(35:35):
that was the safest thing they could do. It's just scary.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
You just scared me to death.
Speaker 4 (35:41):

(37:43):
the uh because if you look at those people, something's
wrong with all of them, Like they they're not like
normal human beings. And we're gonna get to a point
that they're more powerful than any government because they'll control
the whole world. Yep, it's gonna be like eight people.
You know. That's who worries me, the governmental change. But
(38:04):
what about these people we can't vote out of office,
you know what I mean, they're here to stay. The
people that Sam Altman that runs AI. What if AI
runs everything, we can't vote him out office. No, there's
no check on him whatsoever. That's the stuff, honestly drew
that really worries me.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
What if I told you they're all building underground layers
Right now.

I'm sounding like a crazy person, but of course they
are because they well.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
Only we had movies warning about this for decades.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
The good thing is hopefully we'll all be dead by
the time. Now kids Now, let our kids worry about it. Well,
I don't have kids yet. Let's go to Matt. What's up?
Speaker 7 (38:48):
Maps, Hey, what's up? Guys?
Speaker 4 (38:52):
What's going on?
Speaker 7 (38:55):
I just seen it's meditating out here in my garden,
and I just got a couple things that ask it.
I'm in j mister Matt Jones. Do you know the
biblical meaning of your name?
Speaker 4 (39:08):
Uh? Well, Matthew, Well I know it's biblical, but what's
the meaning?
Speaker 7 (39:15):
Okay, gift from God?
Speaker 4 (39:17):
Actually I didn't know that. I didn't know that, Thank
you very much, sir.
Speaker 7 (39:22):
And one more thing would have I'm out here in
my garden bare footed, like, how can I get some
of these Matt Jones shoes?
Speaker 4 (39:30):
What size are you, sir?
Speaker 7 (39:33):
I'm twelve and a half.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
I got something for you. I'll tell you what. Hang on,
give shed in your dress and I'll send youself.
Speaker 9 (39:43):
Are you serious?
Speaker 4 (39:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (39:45):
Why not? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (39:47):
God a high topper, your high topp or low top,
whatever you want to give me.
Speaker 7 (39:55):
I like low top, but.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
All right, I'll get you next low top that I'm
gonna just get. Hang on, give Shan your address, Okay,
I got them on hole sounds like a guy. I
want some colorful shoes like actually I have SpongeBob perfect,
I have some right now that I was about to
let go that I'm I already know what I'm gonna
send him. Go to Danny.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Go ahead, Danny, Hang on a minute, let me get
his address. All right, here we go.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
There you go. All right, Danny, go ahead, Danny.
Speaker 10 (40:24):
Hi a future here in Kentucky. And I am actually
for the bill for a couple of quick reasons. One documentation.
I have had kids email me for my school email
about a sensitive situation at home or bullying, and you
know we have a process in place for that to
make sure those kids are taken care of safely. And
(40:44):
you need documentation.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
I don't want to do parents have access Like if
a if a kid emails you to say, hey, I'm
being abused by my parents, does the parent have access
to potentially see that email and then punish the kid.
Speaker 10 (41:01):
The situation that I'm referring to that emailed me from
their school email. Now, it's my understanding that a parent
could get into that account if they wanted to.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
But what about this new system, Well, a parent have access.
Speaker 10 (41:14):
To that, they will. But what I have found is
that the parents usually kids who are involved in those situations,
their parents aren't really involved in the school, and they're
not very well connected, sadly, and I don't I don't
see that as a risk as much as I do
a kid trying to reach out to me on Facebook,
and I don't check Facebook often enough to know something's
(41:36):
going on, you know.
Speaker 4 (41:40):
I'd be worried though that a kid would say I
don't want to send a message to my teacher if
my parents could see that I sent it, right right?
Speaker 10 (41:50):
I think though, it might be safer than social media privacy.
I don't I tell all of my students from day
and neither you nor your families can reach me via
social media. It's not a reliable source of communication. Also,
I want some privacy for my family. I don't add
anyone on Facebook on us. I trust them like with
(42:11):
my kid or in my house.
Speaker 8 (42:12):
You know.
Speaker 4 (42:13):
So yeah, I'm about to let you go, I'm sorry,
I'm to go to the show's about to end, but
I appreciate the call. And yeah, but I mean that Bill,
I think it's past. I actually think it's going into effect.
Sensitive Top had some teachers write me say, uh, that's
the part of the problem is it's no tolerance. Like
one message in you're fired. It feels a little harsh.
Speaker 6 (42:35):
Yeah, but it's a little much, but I agree that
something should be in place.
Speaker 4 (42:39):
Yeah. Well, these are the kind of decisions legislatures like
the one you're now involved in, Ryan have to make.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
That's why we elect them to make these tough decisions.
Speaker 4 (42:48):
Yes, and why I elected you to make the decision
as well. Well you Tomorrow, it's it's Unpopular Opinion Day
here on KSR. Get ready to call in. We'll see layers.

Welcome to two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Now Here's Matt Jones waterback.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
I re number two Tucky Sports Radio eight five nine
two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Couple open lines.
You can give us a shout after the contest. Uh.
The text machine is seven seven two seven seven four
five two five four. The week kind of a slow
week with the draft is tomorrow. Uh, Kentucky guys hopefully
will be will be picked. Reed Shepherd probably looks like
(01:28):
he'll stay in Houston after the Durant deal. He wasn't
part of it. I thought there was a chance if
they made a big deal he could get shipped off
in it. So now Reed Shepherd's gonna play with Kevin Durant.
That's kind of exciting.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Yeah, and should get a big step up in minutes too.
I mean they traded away two guards in that back court,
so I'd say Reid's gonna be a big piece coming
off the bench.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
Maybe one day when you went into starting point guard.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
You could end up with a situation where Reid's like
Cason Wallace playing on a really good team, playing fifth
six man minutes here even next year, depending on how
good they are.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Reid's already done hundred things, no unexpected. But I mean
we're two years removed from him just transitioning from North
Laurel to UK. And now you're telling me, I mean
he could be in the finals next year passing to
Kevin Durant.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I mean he literally was playing against Barber Bulle in
the two and a half years ago. And now he's
gonna be like, Hey Durant, A KD get open, I
got you.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
And they're the second or thirdish favorite to win it
next year behind the Thunder. I mean there'll be a contender,
just some nuts that it's gonna be Read Shepherd and
Kevin Durant.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
You'll like this The Matt Jones Show. This week we
have two different episodes. Would you like to hear the
two guests please. One guest is going to be an

Aaron Fleener the caddy for JT Post and that's he's
going to talk about what it's life is like as
a caddy on the PGA tour. Sure I can seeails
are two. They were not putting them on together. I
don't think they would. I don't think they would have
the same, the same thing going.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I'd be interested here Aaron Fleaner's thoughts on the war.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
All right, so let's I had somebody ask me about
this yesterday, and I do think it's important to remember
sometimes we talk about a subject and the average person
listening might not even know what we're talking about. And
we were talking about the whole quote unquote motivated Mark Stoops. Yes,
and there were people who wrote me and said, I
have no idea what you're talking about. Because we have
to remember that. I say this all the time, only
(03:22):
like ten percent of our fan base is on Twitter.
I mean, think about how many people are listening to
this that are not on Twitter. It's a massive amount
of people, yes, And then there's a ton of our
fan base that's like only on Facebook, something I don't
even get on really, and all you got to do
(03:43):
is look at the comments sections and things to see those.
And then there's this whole ton of the fan base
it's only on TikTok, right, and won't see it. They're
the ones that know Mario better than they know a
lot of the rest of us. Yep, So everybody's different.
I so just quickly the explanation and then This is,
(04:04):
you know, goes to the question of what they should do.
We all agree that right now UK football has almost
nothing to market. Would we agree? Yes? Let's say you
were in charge of marketing for UK football and they
said market this season and get everybody going, what would
you pick?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I've probably proped Calzada up there, our quarterback in.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
But how many what percent of our fans know what
he looks like?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
That's why that's why I would do it. I would
prop him up and make him say to the program.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Calzada, do your fan? Do you think our fans would
even know what that means?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
That's why I think the marketing program needs to be
get that out there.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
So what would you say about it?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
He's old on the new face of the U of
the UK football program. There here's our guy right here.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
That's not a great sloan.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
No, but I wouldn't start with it.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
What about you, Shannon? What would you market UK football?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Come see us or don't?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
The dude?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Well, very queen for me.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
If you're trying come see us or no, what would
you do?
Speaker 7 (05:15):
Well?
Speaker 5 (05:15):
This is their problem. I've mentioned this several times. They
don't have anything to really say.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Well, look at this. Get excited about this.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
They don't players we know?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Yeah, I would say, concession stands closed.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
We have our act together. We are no longer going
to eat during games. Our bad apples are gone. Look
at this culture, culture, Look at this brand new locker culture.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Yeah this before we get left, let me give you
just dad series text machine seven seven two seven seven
four five two five four. I know UK people listen
to show every day. I'm a big believer in collective
intelligence is better than individual intelligence. Usually, give me a suggestion,
(06:00):
serious suggestion if you for those of you, and because
I'll read a few of them in UK, will hear it?
Seven seven two seven seventy four five two five four
of the textans what would you market? Because I don't
know the answer. The coach is not popular, we're coming
off a terrible season, the culture was bad, and we
(06:21):
have no players than anyone knows. Other than that, I
don't know what you but other than that, how was
the how was the play? Miss Lincoln?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
You're right, you know in years past, when we were
kind of in this situation, will levis ate a banana
with the appeal on it, he kind of it just
gave it to us, so will.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Levis was a naturally charismatic guy who also was like
highly touted.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Maybe Calzada is that guy too. We just don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I don't any think about him.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Do you think he's I don't know, he's not highly touted.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
He was out of high school.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Yeah, and that was the seventies. It hears.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Even though it's a good program and it produced the
number one pick like him coming from a carnate word,
it's hard to put on word. It's hard to it's
hard to mar yea from incarnate word to that's that's
a tough move.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
So se we say we got rid of our dog.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
That's the new slogan. We let the dog out. You
just throw vents under the bus.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Oh that's interesting. We let the dog out, so market
it around.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
We lost our dog.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
No, we all start dog sounds bad. We let the
dog town. So so the point of all that is
to say, with so little to grasp onto, there have
been a group of fans on the internet who really
don't like Mark Stoops. I think it all really goes
(07:48):
back to the whole basketball school football school comment. They
kind of said it sided with cow and they blamed
him right. And by the way, they're well in the
football program who sided with Stoops and hated Cow. But
Stoops has not had success since that happened, so they
(08:09):
don't like him. So they started this. Every time he
does something or says something or is seen out, they
would just go, oh, he's motivated, but it's like a
sarcastic thing. He's motivated, and it became like, any time
you want to criticizing motivated Mark Stoops. And my reaction
(08:32):
to that is, well, you can't tell people, hey, don't
make fun of our coachs, Like that's not gonna work, right,
So the easiest way is for them to embrace it
and just make it to where this thing that's used
to criticize him, they say, this is what we are.
(08:53):
I'm open to a better idea, but I don't have one.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
They need to do something because the silent from UK
to football and the media people have been deafening over
there at.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
UK and that picture, which I think a guy named
Shannon flim flam Mate.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah, flim Flam flim.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Flam I think is as good as any so it
might is that a terrible idea?
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Yeah, but there's nothing better. It is a terrible idea,
but it is a terrible idea. I mean, do you
want to embrace your coaches love for alcohol and no, no.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
No, I'm not saying you can take the alcohol and
the cigarette out of this. I'm just saying to you
the idea of using I'm not saying smoke. I don't
even think he smokes cigarettes. You know, you don't have
him out there just pounding SIGs. I'm saying, like, but
the idea of that being we're gonna take this thing
(09:48):
we know you're giving us a hard time about, and
we're going to try to make it fun. I think
that's better than anything else because they're not going to
stop making fun of him. So you know, it's like
when people kept when I was in college at Trancy,
the other fraternities occasionally would say we were dorks. So
we just started wearing shirts that said dorks and beating
(10:08):
them in sports. It took away their things, right, Yeah,
it took it away. You call me a stupid liberal,
Well I'll just say I'm a stupid liberal, and I
take that away from you. Why wouldn't you do that
for this?
Speaker 6 (10:22):
I'm all for it. I think they should completely lean
into it. I mean yesterday. Did you see they tweeted
motivation Monday?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
So do you think that was for that?
Speaker 5 (10:28):
I don't think that was intentional. I hope it was.
Do you think was looking pretty slim in that photo?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Okay? I wanted to bring that up. If I may
compliment the footballers, I'm going to give you something that
years ago I had someone at UK say to me
talking about Cow and Stoops. They used to say that
they would judge how good Cow and Stoops were gonna
do by based on how thin they were, that their
(10:55):
weight would fluctuate based on where their state of mind was.
And if you go back and look, there's some correlation
to that. Stoops looks as thin as he's looked in
a long time. Did you see the picture of Cow
at the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Game looking swaggy?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Did you see that down a lot of weight.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Had a style of shirt on.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Maybe Arkansas is gonna be better than we thought too.
But Stoops is like that too. Stoops, this is the
trimest Stoops has been in a while. You know why
I'm grasping for things here, Shannon, I know that, but
I'm looking for something right.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Well, maybe you know the years passed when they were bad.
He was stress eating.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
I don't know. Well, in your life, when you've put
on weight, are you in a good place? Usually not?
Usually not. Usually, it's usually because you're going through stress,
you're eating badly, you're not exercising. I can look it through.
I can go through my pictures in my life and
I can see the weight flow and it usually corresponds
(11:58):
to what kind of mood I was in.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
And at the time you're talking me into Kentucky football
in twenty twenty five, I'm.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Saying, you got thinner, motivated stoops, you're.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
In the building more, you're by the treadmill, the ways,
the nutrition you.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Got Calzada not quite time to collect AARP and so
he's still able to get it going.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
We're gonna crush Toledo so bad. Oh yeah, I'm trying.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Mbury, Go ahead, mbury.
Speaker 8 (12:31):
First time, long time? Who are first time? Long time?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Thank you?
Speaker 8 (12:37):
Then, I always appreciate when you guys do you're the legislator,
and so what do you think about the bill?
Speaker 4 (12:44):
I actually have that on my plate for eleven thirty,
But go ahead?
Speaker 8 (12:49):
Is it Senate Bill won eighty one?
Speaker 4 (12:52):
I don't know what I don't know the numbers, so
I'm not sure.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Oh okay, Well, it's the Kentucky Senate bill that we
that is establishing at precible communication electronic communication between students,
and that.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Is on my list. If you will hang on, that
is on my list. I appreciate the call. I have three.
If you were the legislator, what would you do? And
that is on my list. I will do that. At
eleven thirty. What why are you just staring off in
the space. I'm looking at you, waiting for a respect.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I thought she was getting out of response. You get
appreciate her call. I thought she was getting ready to say something.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I did appreciate her call. Swag Sandwich, go ahead, that's
really a name. Swag Sandwich.
Speaker 9 (13:34):
Hey man, I'm gonna assume you're doing good and not
ask thank you. I got a question on the rev
split and the Chicken Man. How do you think that's
going to affect Caliperry in Arkansas? And do you think
that they will get a more higher percentage for their
basketball team than we will?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
No? No, they they their percentage will be less for
basketball than ours because they Arkansas fans desperately want to
be good at football. And they desperately want to be
good at baseball. So I would actually argue that basketball.
For most Arkansas fans, basketball is definitely second, and for
(14:16):
some of them it would be third.
Speaker 9 (14:20):
Wasn't like they're like big thing, like now's going to
get all this money and now it's the REV splits condoct.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Well, I mean they'll still get the like I think
he'll still be able to get like Tyson will probably
sign these people to INIL deals. But if they enforce
the thing where the deals have to be real, then
they'll still have to be real. One of the things
we don't know, and I appreciate the call, is whether
or not this whole rule that comes into place that
deals you give outside of the REV share inile deals
(14:47):
have to be real deals, they have to be market value.
If they enforce that, it changes everything. Now are they
going to enforce it, Drew? I don't know. They say
they are, but I want to see it first.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
How do they How can they really Oh, what's a
real deal? I don't know, because like and also what
just stops people from buying the heck out of T shirts?
Like someone ain't really rich? Maybe they even go by
the NIO rules and still overpay for a product or whatever.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
The theory of making laws, you're always every law. You
can't not make a law by saying somebody is going
to break this, because people will try to get around
every law. The question is is that the best law
you can make as a base. Whatever they do, people
are going to try to get around it. I just
want to see do they try to enforce it, even
at its most basic level, right, and we'll have to
(15:36):
see they say they will. I think schools have an
incentive to do it because they want to stop paying
all this money. But we'll see if they do.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I think it's gonna be hard to police because obviously
doing a deal in Lexington or Fayetteville is a little
differ than if you're in Chicago.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
But they can at least hire a private company that
is responding to shareholders to do it, so it's not
just a couple people. It is a is this that
does give me in some encouragement? Right, they're paying this
company to do it, the company is beholden to their shareholders.
I think they're gonna have to try to do it now.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Whether it works, yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Who knows. Summer weather has arrived. Shady excuse me. Cornbread
Hemp is offering a free four pack of free four
pack of four Seltzers. That's true, four pack of four
seltzers with every order over seventy five dollars. They just
sent me some the other day. You use use the
code Summer SIPs Summer SIPs if you get if you
(16:33):
get your regular gummies or oils, use Summer SIPs and
you can get a free four pack of Seltzers to
try them. It's pretty good, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Some of them are really good summer SIPs.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
So use that's a cornbread hint between me and you.
Tough slogan, Summer SIPs, Summer SIPs. Use cornbreadhimp dot com
Summer simps for a free four pack of Seltzers with
any order over seventy five or more. It's cornbread Hemp.
We'll be right back, summer set well back in his
Kentucky sports radio. Uh, we got a message from Matt
(17:08):
Jones hoops training.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
He sent you a message.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
He sent me a message.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
What did he say?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
He said, this is the other Matt Jones of Lexington.
Just all respect to coach Pope in the program as
a person who teaches shooting for a living. I just
have a difference in opinion when it comes to shooting.
Fair enough, it's not exactly what he said on Instagram.
You would think. See, that's the difference between real life
(17:33):
people and then what they are on social media. In
real life. He goes, all respect to coach Pope, I
just disagree with him about shooting online. He goes, this
is what's all with college coaches, Burbler, b Breah. It's
a different thing. And I'm sure Matt Jones shooting hoops
is great. But like you know, that's different than what
(17:54):
you would say if he was standing there.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yeah, you would think a young guy starting a business
about hoops, basketball, shoot training. You want to get on
board with the head coach of the university in your city.
I think you want to kind of go hand in
hand with him, not fight the guy.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
All right, let's go through some of these suggestions on
what UK football can do to market, Shannon. We'll see
if you like it. All right, Uh, Number one market,
Our opponents come to come to Kroger Field and you
can see really good teams play.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
So it's not even about our own team, it's about
everybody else.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
I know.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Sadly, that popped in my head when you asked me
for ideas.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Right. One person says, Uh, we're just getting started again, Bro, We're.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Just restarting, restarting, Bro, We're just getting restarted.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Okay. I like that. I like that. One One person says, Matt,
brad White has been fired up on Twitter. He's actually
really gotten me into it. Maybe they should give him
more of a voice. Might be a good idea. I've
always liked brad White. Maybe make him more of a thing.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
And I think that's the strength of the team this year,
the defense. Well, maybe they should lean into that a
little bit.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
What person says Matt. They've gotten totally away from a
lot of the fan outreach they did early. Haven't had
a women's clinic in six years. They need to have
ways for fans to meet the players and do more
things to get us to care. One way or the other,
totally agree with that. They've got lazy on all of
that stuff. When the women's clinic used to be a
big thing, even when we stunk, women really lie they
(19:22):
got to go. There was always this fun stuff. They've
just completely gotten away from that. COVID gave everybody an
excuse to do all this, stop doing all this stuff
they didn't want to do. They need to go back to.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
It, women's clinic, what about a spring game. They used
to fill that stadium or you know, at least have
a decent turnout for a spring game. This thing last
year is almost like they didn't want anybody there.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Spring game, fan day, women's clinic, all these things. And
this is if they're going to do it, this is
the year wherehen they need to do it to get
the fan base back on board.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
What about this is a slogan Kentucky Football, Embrace the mystery.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Who the hell knows what's gonna happen out there?
Speaker 4 (20:04):
It's a mystery. It's gonna be a complete mystery. Anything
could happen.
Speaker 10 (20:08):
I like kill.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
We all want this program to succeed, but when we
see what's coming to end next year and the schedule
they've got, it's just one of gonna be one of
the toughest season we've had since we've started doing this show.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Listen, we'll be into it leading into the Toledo game.
If we win, we'll be into it leading in the
Old Miss game. Butmer, but remember preseason games start early
this year and they're against good teams in basketball, and
most of our home games are in the first six
weeks of the season. We only have one think about this,
we only have one home game in November.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I didn't realize that one.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
If this team isn't good, this fan base will check
out in October. They'll just check out, they will. John
one minute is that he has aunt on there is
all right, Well, let me take Jonathan and then I'll
go to him. Jonathan, I got about a minute.
Speaker 11 (20:58):
Okay, if you guys have time, well, I love to
you talk about maybe drafting on all UK teams in
the NBA like current players and talk about how good
they are or how how far do you think they
could go on playoffs?
Speaker 7 (21:11):
And I will do that.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
I will do it right now, but I appreciate the call.
We can do that at some point. Remember, tomorrow is
unpopular opinion day. Yes it is. Don't forget unpopular part.
All right, Matt Jones, the shooting instructor is on the phone.
Is he really okay? Matt Jones, the shooting instructor, how
are you, sir? First of all, great name.
Speaker 12 (21:30):
It's it's a wonderful name. It's a tough one here,
Inkington sometimes trying to differentiate a little bit.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Yeah, does that annoy you do? People like, does that
annoy you to have the same name? I would understand
if it did.
Speaker 12 (21:43):
I mean, we have the most common name on earth.
I think so. I don't think we either of us
could be probably too mad about it.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Okay, well what so what you put that comment on
Pope's thing? Looking back? Did it express what you wanted
to express?
Speaker 12 (22:00):
Yes, it did. I'm just saying in general, it could
be any college coach, because I've had these discussions with
others where to me, I just think it's a little
it's off to me where you know, you'll spend a
million dollars to get a role player who's eighth man
on the roster, but programs won't invest eighty or one
hundred k to pay a shooting coach to help develop shooting.
(22:22):
You know, everyone's trying to recruit shooting all over the
place and will pay dumb money to go get a
Shooter's like, why the why is developing shooting not also
a piece of this because it's.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
But I think this point was. I think his point was,
I have a choice between a number of players. I'm
at Kentucky. I want to get guys who have good
mechanics and then teach them other things rather than teach
them mechanics. What's wrong? Why would that be a bad opinion.
Speaker 12 (22:49):
I don't think that's a terrible opinion. I just think
how many of those guys when you look at it,
you say, oh, he's got a beautiful shot with great mechanics,
like very You know, if you have five guys on
your roster at any place who can really shoot, your
doing well? Or it's like why why can't we try
to develop two or three more?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
So you stand by your comment that what Pope said
is what's wrong with college coaches.
Speaker 12 (23:11):
Yeah, I stand by I stand by it. I just
think when you see the money that's being thrown around,
it's like, you know, you'll pay crazy money. Why not
spend a legius a little bit of money and bring
someone in that well.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
I appreciate it you and Rambow major point. Thank you
for Collin. We'll take a break, be right back. KSR.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
TJ.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay now.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Here's Matt Jones, quarterback Kentucky sports radio. I'm just sitting
there talking with the guys about my new you know,
given the sneakers away on that I leave them around Lexton, Louisville,
like on the sides of the road.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
That's kind of cool. You got a one in one
out policies, and.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
One in one if I get a new pair of shoes,
one of them's go. I'm out of space. I have
no more space. So there's a one in one out policy.
So when new ones come in, one of them's got
to go.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
How do you decide which one to get rid of?
Speaker 4 (24:09):
The one I like the least, you know, I mean
I have I have a lot. I probably have like
two and fifty. So what are you laughing at? Yeah,
exactly one of each. But then if one one comes out,
I'll go. Sometimes I'll give it's a good will but
(24:29):
you know some of them are nice, Like I don't
want somebody just walks in good with so I want
them for people who need them. So I've given them
way to middles people in Middlesborough like the And then
sometimes I leave them on the street and they'll be
gone five minutes later because I figure like somebody will
pick them up that needs them.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
So they're gonna come a day.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I put some rods out the other day, so somebody's
walking around, but I'll drive them to different parts of town.
I want to leave them always in the same place.
So I left a pair of let's a pair of
lebrons on Frankford Avenue and they were shaying and then
just gone. Of course five minutes.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Later, they're not gonna sit out there all day. You know,
somebody's gonna pick them up.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
So you'll be driving your car look over and somebody's
be walking.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
That would make me very happy. Actually, yeah, yeah, that
would that would be nice. If I'm nine to two
eight twenty two eighty, say all right, let's do our.
I'm gonna give you an issue currently being debated in Kentucky,
and you're gonna tell me what you would do, what
you would vote if you were in.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
The legislation corner's in session right now. Let's go.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
The first one is what the woman just said. Yeah,
they have they are taught a bill pass a bill
that would say teachers cannot email or text students without
doing it through an official system where the school system
would be able to see all correspondents between so they
(25:55):
cannot email or text a student. They can only send
it through this thing it's called like parent scope or whatever,
in order to contact the student. And that also includes
for now social media as well, meaning no likes on Facebook,
no following on Instagram without going through this system to
(26:15):
where it could always be reviewed by the school board.
Do you like it or do you not like it?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I like it and I hope that it's like they
extend it to the evenings and the weekends where maybe
kids needs everything.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
It's for it's until they graduate.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
That I like it because a lot of times these
kids are their home life is not good. Maybe the
teacher is the only person they trust and can depend.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Now that you're making an argument a different way, you
got it backwards, You got it backwards. This bans it.
You can't make any of these things without well, you
can communicate with them, but you have to go through
this thing called parent scope or whatever that the parents
would have access to, the school would have access to.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
As long as they have access to it some in
some capacity.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
But would you worry about on the parents having act
Like what if it's what you said, like, maybe their
parents are abusing.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
That that's it, you know, abuse kids may be hungry.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
So are you for it or against it?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I don't want to ban it.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
I'm for it now. The other side would say, though teachers.
I think they said one hundred and ninety four teachers
have been suspended in the last three years for inappropriate
communication with students. Sixty percent of it was like sexually
inappropriate in Kentucky. I think that's what the article that
made number to make. But it was it was higher
than I thought.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
It was really high if it's just Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
So what do you think.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
I support the bill moving to the parent app just
for the reason you just said. I feel like I
see way too many stories on the internet, not really
just in Kentucky, but everywhere of teachers crossing the line
with students.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Numbers worry though about like, let's what if they're saying,
my parent is doing this? They don't they can say.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
I do think you would need another avenue for that
one caveat there of that. They need a way to
be able to reach.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
The teachers should be able to like posts on Facebook, Instagram. No,
not even like, but not even like hey I got
into trancy okay there without going through official things.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
So sorry to all the good teachers out there. There's
many more good than bad, but there's too many weird
bad ones.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
All right, Shannon, what do you vote?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I would vote for this parent scope app. I think
that it keeps both sides accountable. You have a way
to go back and see all communication outside of school.
If you have an issue with your parents at home,
you could talk to the teacher in person. So I
don't think there's any reason. I'm not gonna name.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Any any are you? Okay, go ahead?
Speaker 3 (28:49):
But I have a friend whose daughter gets snapchats from
her teacher.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
And that is just that, And this is why I think.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
You need that that's inappropriate.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Do you do you like that the school board has
access to all communications? Is that worry you at all?
The collection of all that stuff?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
No, I think you know, if you're a teacher and
you're communicating with the student, it needs to be documented.
It needs to be where everybody can see.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Yeah, I'm generally on your side. I'm probably I vote
for it. I'm there's a couple parts. I don't know
that the liking of a comment on Facebook isn't this
because again we don't that's actually public that it's done that.
But in general, I'm for it, and uh so we're
three to one. This would pass our legislature, Ryan being
the dissenter.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yeah, I don't want to ban it. I think too
many kids need help sometimes.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
All right. Robo taxis Austin, Texas just approved it and
it may get brought up soon. Uh in Louisville in
the next couple of years potentially then Lexington robo taxis
no driver, so instead of Uber in Austin right now
they're doing for the entire summer for four dollars. You
(29:58):
can take a robo tax see anywhere, which, of course
is try to get you hooked. Yeah, no driver, would
you if you were on the Louisville City council, would
you vote yes to robotaxis?
Speaker 6 (30:12):
I support robotaxis.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
I have not ridden in one, but I've been in
the Tesla's when someone's driving, and I've seen the car
like it literally knew someone was stepping off the sea.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
I got one in Austin when we were for the
football game and someone was stepping off the sidewalk and
it showed it on the screen and the car stopped.
So I trust them enough. Hell, they're better than.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Actual drivers us more than people. Most people.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Yes, you don't worry about getting hacked.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Drive down Winchester Road and you would want nothing but
robo let's.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Say, But what about the hacking thing? That's what worries
me is that I agree with you in general, the
robotaxis are probably better drivers than the average person. But
what happens if a foreign power hacks all of our
cars and rexamend each other and you cannot stop it.
That's what worries me. Now, granted, I don't know if
that's like, I don't know the likelihood, I don't know
(31:02):
the science, but that does worry me because at least
there's a human that stops it. If we don't have that,
what happens if we get hacked?
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Add that to the list of problems that our world
will be facing in the years to come.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
All right, so you're for it? What about you?
Speaker 7 (31:16):
Right?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I don't think I would do it, but I'm for it.
I don't know. I don't know if I'm.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
There yet before it, but you wouldn't get in it.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
I wouldn't get in it before it, but I don't
think I'm not there yet. I will step into it
and trust.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
So you would take it too.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Drew Oh yeah, all ready for it.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
I know there are terrible human drivers that exist, Ryan Lemon,
but I don't know that I'm going to trust a robot.
I saw a video a couple of weeks ago of
a guy who was late for his flight at an
airport because he was stuck in one of these cars.
It was in a parking lot and continually just doing
a circle and he could not get out of it.
And that's the type of thing that I would worry
(31:53):
about if I got into one of these robo cars.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
So do you think, Okay, so you wouldn't want to
get in it, but would you make it legal?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
No? No, not no, I want I want human drives.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Okay. So I'm today a no, but open to one
day being a yes. Here's the reason i'm no. If
we continue to take jobs from everyone.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Yeah, that's another side of it too.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
I mean, now we're not even gonna have uber drivers.
Wait until we get this is all a step to
no truck drivers. Okay, wait till there's no truck driver.
Think about what a huge part of our economy it
will be not to have cross country truck drivers. If
all the drivers go away, that is a massive part
(32:38):
of our economy gone, What.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Are we gonna do, like when all of our jobs
are taken?
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Like America, I don't think America or the world has
really contemplated what is going to happen when all of
these jobs go away. It'll be easy to know, Joe Budden,
Donald Crump. No, this is just this is humanity. Like
fifteen percent of the workforce is just going to disappear.
(33:04):
And what are we gonna do. Are we just going
to all just pay for the people that don't work,
or are we just gonna let them start? Like, I
don't know what we're gonna do, cause it's gonna happen.
Like it's easy to talk about people who don't work
now and go they get off their butt and they
need to do this, and I'm not even disagreeing with that,
but soon there's gonna be people who want to be
(33:24):
off their butt, who want to be doing something, and
there will not be enough jobs. They are going to
go away, and then what and so this is a
step in that direction. So it worries me. I'm not
saying I can't ever be for it, but you just
take it. Just imagine if every truck driver is put
out of work, we had a ton of truck drivers
(33:46):
listening right now. What if they're all put out of work?
Those are good jobs that pay a lot of money
and they're just gonna be gone. Do people think about that?
We better?
Speaker 3 (33:59):
I agree one hundred perc on on that.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
I mean, that's almost here the truck. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
And if you're a business, and I'm not saying I
agree with this, but to not have a driver, I
have a truck that.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
Can go all night, probably.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Don't have to pay the salary, don't have to pay
health care. I mean it's of course they're all going
to do it.
Speaker 6 (34:20):
That's why it's here.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Of Course they're all going to do it. And so
like we have to make laws, we cannot just turn
all this over to technology. To put it a different way,
I don't really trust a lot of people in leadership
to make laws, but I trust them more than I
trust these tech people who just want to save money. True, right,
(34:42):
because it's gonna be I mean, this is coming and
it's coming soon, and we are not ready for it.
We are not thinking about these things. Because when all
those jobs are gone, what do you do?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
All those families?
Speaker 4 (34:59):
What do you do? Like, who's gonna buy the stuff.
If they don't work to have the money right, all.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
These factories will be robotic.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Told people a salary to not work, I mean otherwise.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
We have told generations for thirty years the safest job
you could go get was to go be a computer programmer.
We told kids that forever. Those people are all going
out of work. All these people who went and got
computer science degrees, except for the top top ones, they're
all gonna lose their jobs programmers. And we told them
(35:35):
that was the safest thing they could do. It's just scary.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
You just scared me to death.

three minutes I've ever heard. I generally like your ideas
on things, tell me something to make it less depressing.
I got nothing for you when it comes to the
future job market. I'm depressed. I'm depressed that the people
(37:21):
that scare me the most in this world, like people liberals,
will come up to me and be like, man, and
we're gonna make it through these Trump years. I'm not
I don't like Trump, but I'm not like scared for
the future, like because well, I mean, he'll be gone
at some point, right, I'm scared of the muss, the Zuckerberg's,
(37:43):
the uh because if you look at those people, something's
wrong with all of them, Like they they're not like
normal human beings. And we're gonna get to a point
that they're more powerful than any government because they'll control
the whole world. Yep, it's gonna be like eight people.
You know. That's who worries me, the governmental change. But
(38:04):
what about these people we can't vote out of office,
you know what I mean, they're here to stay. The
people that Sam Altman that runs AI. What if AI
runs everything, we can't vote him out office. No, there's
no check on him whatsoever. That's the stuff, honestly drew
that really worries me.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
What if I told you they're all building underground layers
Right now.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
I'm sounding like a crazy person, but of course they
are because they well.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
Only we had movies warning about this for decades.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
The good thing is hopefully we'll all be dead by
the time. Now kids Now, let our kids worry about it. Well,
I don't have kids yet. Let's go to Matt. What's up?
Speaker 7 (38:48):
Maps, Hey, what's up? Guys?
Speaker 4 (38:52):
What's going on?
Speaker 7 (38:55):
I just seen it's meditating out here in my garden,
and I just got a couple things that ask it.
I'm in j mister Matt Jones. Do you know the
biblical meaning of your name?
Speaker 4 (39:08):
Uh? Well, Matthew, Well I know it's biblical, but what's
the meaning?
Speaker 7 (39:15):
Okay, gift from God?
Speaker 4 (39:17):
Actually I didn't know that. I didn't know that, Thank
you very much, sir.
Speaker 7 (39:22):
And one more thing would have I'm out here in
my garden bare footed, like, how can I get some
of these Matt Jones shoes?
Speaker 4 (39:30):
What size are you, sir?
Speaker 7 (39:33):
I'm twelve and a half.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
I got something for you. I'll tell you what. Hang on,
give shed in your dress and I'll send youself.
Speaker 9 (39:43):
Are you serious?
Speaker 4 (39:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (39:45):
Why not? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (39:47):
God a high topper, your high topp or low top,
whatever you want to give me.
Speaker 7 (39:55):
I like low top, but.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
All right, I'll get you next low top that I'm
gonna just get. Hang on, give Shan your address, Okay,
I got them on hole sounds like a guy. I
want some colorful shoes like actually I have SpongeBob perfect,
I have some right now that I was about to
let go that I'm I already know what I'm gonna
send him. Go to Danny.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Go ahead, Danny, Hang on a minute, let me get
his address. All right, here we go.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
There you go. All right, Danny, go ahead, Danny.
Speaker 10 (40:24):
Hi a future here in Kentucky. And I am actually
for the bill for a couple of quick reasons. One documentation.
I have had kids email me for my school email
about a sensitive situation at home or bullying, and you
know we have a process in place for that to
make sure those kids are taken care of safely. And
(40:44):
you need documentation.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
I don't want to do parents have access Like if
a if a kid emails you to say, hey, I'm
being abused by my parents, does the parent have access
to potentially see that email and then punish the kid.
Speaker 10 (41:01):
The situation that I'm referring to that emailed me from
their school email. Now, it's my understanding that a parent
could get into that account if they wanted to.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
But what about this new system, Well, a parent have access.
Speaker 10 (41:14):
To that, they will. But what I have found is
that the parents usually kids who are involved in those situations,
their parents aren't really involved in the school, and they're
not very well connected, sadly, and I don't I don't
see that as a risk as much as I do
a kid trying to reach out to me on Facebook,
and I don't check Facebook often enough to know something's
(41:36):
going on, you know.
Speaker 4 (41:40):
I'd be worried though that a kid would say I
don't want to send a message to my teacher if
my parents could see that I sent it, right right?
Speaker 10 (41:50):
I think though, it might be safer than social media privacy.
I don't I tell all of my students from day
and neither you nor your families can reach me via
social media. It's not a reliable source of communication. Also,
I want some privacy for my family. I don't add
anyone on Facebook on us. I trust them like with
(42:11):
my kid or in my house.
Speaker 8 (42:12):
You know.
Speaker 4 (42:13):
So yeah, I'm about to let you go, I'm sorry,
I'm to go to the show's about to end, but
I appreciate the call. And yeah, but I mean that Bill,
I think it's past. I actually think it's going into effect.
Sensitive Top had some teachers write me say, uh, that's
the part of the problem is it's no tolerance. Like
one message in you're fired. It feels a little harsh.
Speaker 6 (42:35):
Yeah, but it's a little much, but I agree that
something should be in place.
Speaker 4 (42:39):
Yeah. Well, these are the kind of decisions legislatures like
the one you're now involved in, Ryan have to make.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
That's why we elect them to make these tough decisions.
Speaker 4 (42:48):
Yes, and why I elected you to make the decision
as well. Well you Tomorrow, it's it's Unpopular Opinion Day
here on KSR. Get ready to call in. We'll see layers.
