Welcome to two of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by
Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Welcome back our number two Tucky Sports Radio.

Speaker 5 (01:07):
If I'm nine two, eight oh twenty two eighty seven,
you can give us a shout. We are here on
a Monday morning. Everybody back in town and ready to go.
And uh, you know, if you were out on your
you know, various trips and you you hurt yourself or
you're just in pain, sometimes there's no reason to be.
Call my good friends at Court Physical Therapy. Summer's here

Uh with Court EF, I'm nine two, eight oh twenty
two eighty seven. Let's go for a couple things real quick.
First of all, uh, uh, Drew my reds. I went

(01:51):
into this weekend at Boston at Philly these this week
I thought love to go three and three, gotta go
two and four, ended up going to and we end
up pa facing the Phillies' best pitchers, which hurt us. Now,
this is essentially the season. This week you got the
Marlins and the Rockies seven games in a row at home.

(02:14):
Gotta win them. My thing is five and two. Gotta
go five and two. Six and one would be better,
but that's asking a lot. Five and two that would
put you five games over five hundred. Going in the
All Star Break, you'd probably be a game or two
out of the Wildcard, and you're set up with a shot.
So I think they gotta go five and two this.
If they go less than five and two, I think

(02:36):
it's gonna be hard to get done. I've been watching
all the teams we've been playing for the Wildcard have
played these two teams in the last few weeks. We're
the last one to get them, and they all banked
up wins against these teams. Now it's our time to
do it. And if we don't, then I think we're
not gonna go.

Speaker 6 (02:51):
When the summers over, the Summervelly is over.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
If we don't. If we have a losing record in
these seven games, summer Velly ends. If it's four and three,
the summer of Elly is shaky. It's still going five
and two. The summer sell Ellie's on.

Speaker 6 (03:03):
Well, it sounds like a big window has opened for you.
At this point in the season. As I mentioned last week,
I did some scouting in Colorado for you. Uh, they're
absolute trash. So if you don't sweep them in Great
America Ballpark.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
Obvious teams getting.

Speaker 6 (03:16):
Out the Rockies, they're bad. They're real bad.

Speaker 5 (03:19):
Our guy Chase Burns has pitched three times. One time awesome,
next time only got one out. Third time awesome. I
think they were stealing his pitches that day.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
There is no doubt they even get through the first inning.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Had to have been they had to pick something up. Okay,
so tell me, because I'm an idiot, how does someone
like when the ruston Red Sox people say they were
when when the they were he was tipping the pitches
And what does that mean?

Speaker 3 (03:48):
If you're like, okay, pitchers, maybe we'll do something different
when they're gonna throw, let's say it off speed pitch
versus a fastball and not even realize they're doing it.
You know, it could be something very subtle, just the
way they tilt their glove. You know, it was something
as simple as that. Hitters can pick up on that stuff.

Speaker 5 (04:03):
And if they picked up on it, then they'd be
able to know what guess the fastball. I'm ready for it.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
It's good you read what the Red Sox they think.
But they something about when he threw an off speed pitch,
like his leg like on his kick was going at
a different angle or something about his leg kick, and
they knew and he did that. They knew, and it
was an off speed pitch coming.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
It's like a tell in poker, Okay, And so as
a baseball player, if you knew what the pitcher was throwing,
you could light him.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Up, especially a big leaguer. Yeah, they know a fastball's
coming or an off speed pitch is coming. Just sit
on it and just drill it. Well, at that first inning,
they only swung and missed one time. They hit every
strike he threw. They had to know something was common.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
Had to because then the last two games, like the
first game, in the third game, I mean, we Reds
lost yesterday, but he was awesome in the Indians, he pitched. Yeah,
we just had Tony Centien who trade Espinal for a
bag of bricks and centi In needs to not be
in the eighth in he us him some other time. Espinall,

(05:05):
I don't know why he's something I'd rather have you, right,
I do however, like scuz Bucket. Scuzbuddet.

Speaker 6 (05:11):
Well, there's a person named scuz Bucket.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
No, but he's he looks like he looks like he
would hang out with Shannon uh Not in his life.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
But he looks like a rock.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
And roll guy. Barlow is his next Barlow. Yeah, I
like him, but otherwise, h you know, you.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Know we're talking about this this kid that committed from More.
He throws the baseball ninety seven miles an hour as
a short stop. That's like an Ellie type arm. He's got.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
You see the guy and the Pirates threw a ball
from the outfield yesterday one hundred and six miles an hour. Good, great,
it's the fuck it's the fastest thrown baseball they've ever seen.
Recording the baseball O'Neil Cruz. He was throwing somebody out
at home and he threw it one hundred and six miles.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
That's amazing.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Yeah, and he's not even a pitcher.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
Yeah. I guess if you took I guess you could
throw it faster if you like.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Take a crow hop Yeah, little crow running starts?

Speaker 5 (05:59):
What's a crow?

Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's like what outfitters used this show?

Speaker 5 (06:01):
Why is it a crow that I'm just.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Why they call it a crow.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
Hop kick that lego kick that leg up. Jasper Johnson
played this weekend for Team USA. He got better every game.
So like the first game or two I saw parts
of it, I thought probably eighth or ninth best man
guy on the team, I don't know, but he got
better every time. He ended up averaging eight points a game.
The big thing for me is he shot forty seven
percent from the field. If he shoots forty seven percent

(06:25):
in the field, he's gonna be really really good. And
I think as the tournament got on, he was probably
by the end the third or fourth best player on
the team. Best players were probably the AJ demonsa guy
it's going to BYU, and then the kid going to Louisville.
But Jasper got better on and on, and that makes
me very excited for it.

Speaker 6 (06:41):
Yeah, he had a good turnout. He had the highest
plus minus on the team. Yesterday I only won by
a million beating Germany in the title game, but he
led there. And he had the lowest turnover average on
the team. So some good stats that stood out along
with the shooting. It will knockdown got fouled on a
three yesterday, knocked out some free throws, got another bucket
pretty well.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Just in a couple of video clips, I saw like
he steps back step back three from like NBA range.
You can't you can't guard that.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
I mean, well, listen, if he's able to shoot the ball, well,
you they are not gonna be people will not be
able to stay in front of him. No, So the
question is just can he finish at the rim and
can he shoot well? And he shot well in this tournament,
so we'll see.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
I can't wait. Like I said, he's gonna get a guy.
Once he gets in here, gets bigger, strong, He's just
gonna get better and better. He's gonna be a super seed.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
You like the Louisville fans Shannon uh celebrating the miss dunk.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, I saw that.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
I mean they put us Listen when I saw these Louisville,
when I saw these accounts that were like, oh my,
and then they were going the majesty and they had
a slow motion dunk. I thought, oh no, this dude
just jammed on these guys. And then when I saw
he missed, missed, and somebody pulled up an old tweet

(07:55):
of mine where I said something like what a pass
by do. If he had finished that, it would be legendary,
Or what a pass by z If a dude had
finished it would be remember that behind the back. But
for me, I was celebrating the past, right the past.
They were celebrating just a miss. I want to take

(08:16):
a play like first game Kentucky plays next year, take
like a miss three, put it in slow motion the
way they did, and celebrate it and then go, oh, my.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Climb, look at the form of that shot.

Speaker 5 (08:33):
Oh, that would have been beautiful, by the way.

Speaker 6 (08:38):
Do we open with Louisville next year, No, but it's early.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
It's before the Champions Clap.

Speaker 6 (08:43):
I think we'll get a game or two in Okay
the week before, but first the Champions Classic. This year,
I think it's eight days into the season.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
I didn't realize that until yesterday. I mean, I knew
it was early, but I didn't realize it was before
the Champions Classic until yesterday.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
That's why maybe it's more important to play a couple
of those exhibition games against tough teams, kind of get
ready for the Louisville game and the Champions Classic.

Speaker 7 (09:03):
Earl.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
As of right now, it is the first game.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
But some of the really stinky games. Yeah, all right,
last thing, let me ask you a question about what's
happened in Philadelphia.

Speaker 6 (09:12):
Have you seen this story in Philadelphia? Tell me about it.

Speaker 5 (09:15):
Garbage garbage workers are on strike in Philadelphia right there.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
That's not the group of people you want to go
on strike.

Speaker 5 (09:23):
No, Well, if you're talking about an industry that a
city needs, especially a city, a city, garbage workers would
be the biggest. They've gone on strike and people in
the city are mad. If you get bored, just google
Philly TikTok. People are like taking their garbage and they're
like going to their city council member's house and just
leaving it on their Here you take it. So my

(09:47):
question for you is, let's say you lived in Philadelphia
and the garbage workers are on strike. What are you
supposed to do with your garbage at that moment? Like,
where do you even go? Okay? Are you allowed? This
is Matt knows nothing about the real world. Are you
allowed to just take it to the dump yourself?

Speaker 8 (10:11):
Well?

Speaker 2 (10:11):
I mean we first of all, this is a really
stinky situation we're I'm dealing with.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
See, that's why you don't want to tell him anything.
Stupid jokes.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
All right, go ahead, But in Kentucky, you know we
have landfills.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
You can wait. So let's just say it happened in Lexington.
Lexington garbage workers are on strike. Where are you taking
your garbage?

Speaker 2 (10:27):
I think you could take it to an area landf
but you have to pay?

Speaker 5 (10:29):
But where is it? Where? Where?

Speaker 7 (10:32):
Like?

Speaker 5 (10:32):
Literally I go, Ryan, I'm stacked up with garbage? Where
do I go?

Speaker 2 (10:38):
I'm not sure?

Speaker 5 (10:39):
Do you know?

Speaker 6 (10:40):
I've been to one and I can't even think of
where I.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
Wasn't you know where one is?

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yes, that's what I want to know.

Speaker 5 (10:48):
I don't either.

Speaker 6 (10:50):
You said for sales, right, I think there's one down
pretty sure that's where I went to.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
When you say where, like where?

Speaker 2 (10:57):
It's like in between Downtown and New Circle, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (11:01):
Well that's a big distance. Where do I go between
downtown and New Circle? So you don't know where it is?

Speaker 6 (11:07):
No, I've been close, I've been I dropped off.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
So okay, yes, okayycle Let's say I have eight bags
of garbage and I need to get rid of I
just put them in my car. They'll fit right here,
and I just drive there. Let's say we know where
it is am I allowed to just throw it in
the dump.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Now you got to pay a fee.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
How much is it?

Speaker 2 (11:31):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
Is it a lot of money?

Speaker 2 (11:34):
I don't think it's a lot. But you pay, you
pay a fee, I think to use the land.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
Like, what are we talking a dollar?

Speaker 5 (11:39):
Twenty dollars twenty five dollars, twenty dollars a bag?

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Maybe I don't know.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
It's not twenty dollars a bag.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
They're not charging me.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Maybe a little twenty dollars one hundred.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
And sixty dollars. Throw eight bags of garbage in there?

Speaker 6 (11:51):
Why people don't go by the weight, not the bag.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
Okay, so you go throw, so you go there right.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
So if you're in a big city, they don't have that.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (12:03):
A lot of people in line and think about how.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
Long it would take to get into the line. So
what are people supposed to do? They just let the
garbage pile up. Here's my point of all this. I
know we have garbage workers that listen to this. We
take them for granted, yes, because in Philadelphia right now,
people are losing their minds because they can't get the garbage.
And I actually think Shannon these garbage workers have all

(12:26):
the leverage in the.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Work, right they have to have them.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Let that garbage stack up, take two weeks and stinky
and rats all over the blaze.

Speaker 5 (12:34):
And what if the whole city stinks.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
It's a trash city anyway, So I mean, I think
it's it's appropriate they got trash fans. Told you I
hate Philadelphia, like next to the state of Kansas, Philadelphia
is the worst place in.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
The state of Kansas, and then Philadelphia favorite place. Well,
I'm for the garbage. I don't even know what they're
asking for, but I'm for it. But I was realizing
as I saw that story, what would I do? And
I don't know the answer, And it sounds like none
of you all do either. You could toun I'm sure
it's easy, yes, but in Lexington or Louisville, I'm not
one hundred percent sure what you do. And it can't

(13:10):
be twenty dollars a bag. But if it's even ten
dollars a bag, that'd because which he probably isn't. But
whatever it is, it's got to be really expensive, because
you're right, or else people would just line up and
do it.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
The mom people are probably burning what they can you.

Speaker 5 (13:22):
Know it's illegal.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, and your case take the garbage, you know.

Speaker 6 (13:28):
In your case, Matt just leaving the car in the floorboard.
I did see. I googled it says the average to
use a landfill is forty to sixty dollars per ton
per ton.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
That's a lot of garbage for a ton.

Speaker 5 (13:42):
It's a lot of garbage.

Speaker 6 (13:43):
So you can probably drop how much is it's according
to uh, a ton two thousand.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Pounds sounds right? In lection here they do have like, oh.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
Is that how much?

Speaker 7 (13:53):
Does that right?

Speaker 5 (13:54):
I think it's Google two.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Two thousand pounds. Lection has three days, were like for electronics,
your stuff, free to put it in the landfall.

Speaker 5 (14:03):
Because it's that line. It's that line from that na
Burgatzi SML thing. He was like, we will have a
word for two thousand pounds and he goes it's a
And the guy goes, well, what is the word for
one thousand pounds? And he was like nothing. So anyway,
shout out to the Philly garbage workers. Jay and Lyndon.

(14:23):
Go ahead, Jay, that's on me.

Speaker 7 (14:26):
It's been Mark Stoop's dead man walking. If we're seven
and five and beat u of l is that a
statue of stoops in the stadium. What to the program.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
It's not a statue, but seven and five and beat
U of L. You would have to be like dancing
in the streets. I would even go six and six
and beat U of L. Jay, it's a very successful year.
Seven and five and beat U of L. Then you're
like sitting here going the program is.

Speaker 7 (14:53):
Roteland percent chance we go six and six, seven and five,
seven and five.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
Appreciate the call of.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
That's your three streaky wins, Louisville Vandy, and you gotta
beat two people you're not supposed.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
To, Okay, so tell what's our way to get to
seven and five? Would be Louisville Vandy, Auburn and somebody
who's the other one Florida. Probably your best chance would
be Louisville Vandy, Auburn, Florida. That's what that's the most
likely scenario to seven and five. I would say five
percent chance. I would say six and six.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
Oh, I've already told you it's happening six and six.

Speaker 5 (15:32):
I'd go fifteen, So I think you have Here's what
I would say, Matt, what percentage chance do you think
it is.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
To make a Bowl.

Speaker 5 (15:42):
Twenty that's my guess. What's your percentage chance to make
a ball? I mean a little lower. Auburn is not crazy, No,
not crazy, not crazy, unlikely, but not crazy.

Speaker 6 (16:01):
I'll say on the Bowl fifteen percent. I'll be a
little more.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
I'm probably closer to twenty than fifteen. If you I'm
telling you, I'll I'll go nineteen point five.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
Nineteen point five. Shannon, what's yours?

Speaker 3 (16:14):
I've already said that I think they're gonna get six wins.
That was my unpopular opinions.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
What's your what?

Speaker 5 (16:17):
What's your should go?

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Well, it's got to be more than fifty, so I'll
save fifty.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
Five fifty, right, Shannon is mister positivity.

Speaker 6 (16:27):
Well, very likely there will be an underdog in every
game that's not the three stinky.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
Teams exactly right. Probably will we'll take a break very
back chaos. So yeah, that was gonna be my other question.
So the dumps are they in the city? Are they
outside this because I would think they would stink one
on them.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
It's actually old Frankfurt Pike, not Versales Road. People tell
me it's inside New Circle Roads.

Speaker 5 (16:48):
So it's inside people that live close to it. It's
gotta smell.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
There are times it reeks, so who.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
Lives are there? Their houses over there.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
In that area. But you can still smell it close
to will where we lived over there in loft Lestown Road,
at the Applebee's and the Drakes that.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
You can smell it at Applebee's times.

Speaker 6 (17:05):
Yeah, that wasn't just Applebe's. I just thought that was
the food shout out least on apple Bee's.

Speaker 5 (17:11):
You were okay, So all right. Apparently in Lexington it's
sixty dollars a ton, in Maysville fifteen dollars a ton.
But here's how they get you minimum one ton, meaning
you have to pay sixty dollars even if you don't
have two thousand pounds.

Speaker 6 (17:25):
Can't just go drop off a little bag.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
You can't just drop off a bag. Now in Harrdsburg,
apparently you can drop off two dollars a bag. So
you could drive it all the way to Harrodsburg and
drop off two dollars, or you could pay Lexington sixty
like a ton.

Speaker 6 (17:40):
I also have a Harrdsberg text that it was an
entire trailer full of furniture, including couches, and it was
fifteen dollars in Harrisburg.

Speaker 5 (17:47):
So you were ton. So a couple of things about
garbage real quick. A lot of people don't realize Martin
Luther King was killed. He was in town for a
garbage workers strike.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Oh, he was in Memphis.

Speaker 5 (18:01):
He was there to Uh to protest with the garbage
workers there. And that one was when he was killed.
The other thing you were telling me, because this is
a question I wouldn't have known the answer to. Once
you drop it off at the dump, what do they
do with it?

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Well, it's a landfill they build, They dig these big holes.
They pour the trash in the holes, and they cover
up the holes with dirt.

Speaker 5 (18:21):
Say just bury it, bury it? So does it not
like leak into our water supply?

Speaker 6 (18:27):
Probably they go to big links to make sure there's
no contamination.

Speaker 5 (18:31):
Do they do You think they do that everywhere? You
think every town goes to big links to the top.

Speaker 6 (18:38):
You can't let it get.

Speaker 9 (18:43):
Remember?

Speaker 5 (18:43):
Is that what they do? The thing we vote on
that we tried to put you into office floor.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Imagine me out there being your conservationist.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
Would you be out there doing the soil and water?
Of course again I'm just I don't know the end
is that? Like what the E p A Checks got
to because somebody has to make sure you don't just like.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Bury into the creeks in the water system. Yeah, did
you have trash pickup or did your parents have to
take the trash?

Speaker 7 (19:08):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (19:08):
No, no, we had trash pickup.

Speaker 5 (19:10):
But I've told the story many times on here when
they gave mandatory trash pickup in Whitley County. That was
when Whitley County started charging I don't know what it
was dollar a month or two dollars a month on
taxes because they were going to make everyone in Whitley
County have trash pickup, and there were people that didn't
want it. And apparently at the meeting excuse me, this

(19:33):
was in Bell County. They were doing this out in
the county in Bell County, and somebody came to the
meeting mad that they were going to start doing mandatory
trash pickup. And at the meeting, the person said, this
is communism. Mandatory trash pickup is communism next door.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
There ain't no communist in Whitley County.

Speaker 5 (19:52):
That's it. And then he said, we is free, that's it.
So in Whitley County for a long time, I guess
you didn't have mandatory trash pick. There may be places
now where you don't have mandatory true, I don't know.
I have no idea. I feel like it's I'm for it.
Just shan and go ahead and charge me to take
the track.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
When I lived in Lovelle, you didn't have to have it,
and Fern Creek, really you didn't have to have it.
You had an option. I don't know what you would
do with it if you didn't.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
Well, no, when you say you didn't have to, yeah,
did you have to pay the tax though? But I
bet even if you didn't use it, you paid the tax.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Well that's possible.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
I think you probably did. Like you don't have to
use public schools, but you pay for it. Yeah, yeah, Mike,
go ahead, Mike.

Speaker 9 (20:32):
Hey, Matt, this is I called in earlier about the
about the prospective donor thing, and before Shannon shut me off.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
Well finish quickly. Who's the prospective donor?

Speaker 9 (20:42):
I cannot say.

Speaker 8 (20:42):
I cannot say who it is, but I just thought that,
you know, you give them a lot of credit for
being forward thinking when you know, you say the future
of all this is like public private ownership and partnerships.
But when you have somebody come in and offer you
give hundreds of millions of dollars in return for a
split of the revenue, and they're absolutely shut down and
they cut up.

Speaker 5 (21:00):
Well. But I mean, first of all, hang on a second, A.
I don't know that what you're saying is correct if
you won't say the name, but b who that is
a big decision to No school in America has decided
to give a portion of the revenue to a private individual. Now,
I think it's coming. But when you say, Mitch Barnhardt

(21:22):
should be forward thinking, do you I don't know that
I necessarily want my public university sharing profits with a
private individual. Now maybe I will.

Speaker 10 (21:32):
That's a good point.

Speaker 5 (21:33):
I mean, that's a big deal. You're acting like that's
just a normal thing to agree to. That changes the
entire notion of what public schools are.

Speaker 9 (21:44):
Yes, yes it is, But I think I'm not upset
about the the not doing it. It's more about the
unwillingness to proceed or even leave the door open. It's
more like, you know, if you can tell that it's coming,
I feel like keeping a good relationship and maybe trying
to figure out what it could be would be a
lot more creative then just completely shutting it down and basically.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
Yeah, well, I appreciate the call.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
I mean, I don't know the specifics of the situation.
I you know, if somebody said, I'll give you one
hundred million dollars, but you have to split all revenue
from now on. I'm not saying we may never get
to that point, but that is not an easy decision
to make, right Do.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
You see Barnhart going that route?

Speaker 5 (22:24):
Depends on what everybody else does. Somebody's gonna do it. Yeah,
I mean, somebody's gonna do it. I don't know if
it's a good idea. Do I want Let's just say,
Let's say Ryan Lemon has five hundred million dollars and
he's willing to give five hundred million dollars to UK Athletics,
but he gets half the profits and he gets a
final say on who the coach will be. Do I

(22:48):
want Ryan Lemon to have that? This is a public university.
This is not like a private corporation. This is not
like Tesla or Microsoft or whatever. Do I want one
person who's it's just because they're rich, then gets to decide.
I know that happens a little bit behind the scenes,
but this would be official they get veto power.

Speaker 7 (23:08):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
I mean that's a big decision, and I could understand
if I didn't want to be the ad that would
be the first one to do that. If they're older,
their kids inher it. Do their stupid kids get to
pick the coach from now on? It's a tough question.
We'll take a break. We'll be right back this KSR.

Welcome back segment sponsored by Cornbrad Hemp.

(23:59):
Check it out from our friends at Cornbred Hemp. Seltzer
was first place you could buy was it? Kspar Yeah,
for a week or two and now it's everywhere. I'm
gonna go to the phones. There's people who have information.
I will note, Ryan, one of my favorite things has
just started. The Tour de France.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
It did start, okay, it was it was great. Lance
Armstrong is still doing well.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
No, no, he's not a part of it, but he
does he does the postgame show. Oh he's in media now. Yeah,
he does the postgame show. But it's great. Sit there
and watch it. You can go in and out of sleep.
Nothing much has happened while you were gone. There was
a there. You should look this up if you haven't
seen it yet. Though in stage one they have these
like intermediate things along the way, so like it's not

(24:45):
just the final thing. They'll have little sprints along the
way and you get points. And Shannon, you got to
look this up. These two riders in the Tour de France,
they were going for it at the intermediate and they
were going all out, and they were on cobblestones, of
course they call him in Europe hobbles. And the guy
passes the dude at the line and he like jerks

(25:06):
up to celebrate, and he loses control of his bike
and crashes into the other guy. So they had just
crossed the line and then they crash into each other,
and the other dude looks at him like, what the
hell man you just video? It really wasn't his fault.
He hit a cobble, but he had just reached across.

(25:30):
They like quicker than and he reached across to celebrate,
and he completely lost control of his bike and just
crashed into the other guy. You'd be really mad at
you with the other guy if you got passed and
then wrecked into you.

Speaker 6 (25:43):
Gotta know when you're on the cobble, gotta keep both
hands on your rig. Got to get through that before
you start celebrating.

Speaker 5 (25:47):
He was not able to control his rig. Look at
the video, it's it's pretty uh makes now which one
of these guys did you say? Well, first, Joe is
in Philly, So Joe is their garbage everywhere?

Speaker 11 (25:59):
I don't see garbage everywhere.

Speaker 12 (26:01):
I missed most of that segment.

Speaker 11 (26:03):
I apologize.

Speaker 12 (26:04):
I was talking to a neighbor I was called about Jerry.
But I can answer I think any questions you might
have about all of it.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
Well, how long has the garbage been piling up?

Speaker 11 (26:17):
So the strike started last Tuesday was Tuesday July. First,
I think the strike started last Tuesday, and uh yeah,
so's it's going on like seven days now.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
So what are you going to do if you get
into like next week and it's not it's not solved.
What are you gonna do with your trash?

Speaker 12 (26:39):
So I think I caught the tail end where you
were talking about taking it to temporary places in Lexton.

Speaker 7 (26:46):
I don't.

Speaker 12 (26:46):
I don't obviously, I don't know what's going on in Lexton.
So in Philly any time of year when this isn't
going on, there's six centers throughout the city you can
bring things to if you just want to get rid
of them. If you don't want to wait for trash
day and it's free, you bring recycling trash. I actually
do it a couple of times.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
I'll let you. They'll let you bring all your trash
for free somewhere right now.

Speaker 12 (27:11):
Oh yeah, so even on both normal times. So in
a normal time, I have at my at our houses,
I have two pickups Monday and Thursday, Tuesday and Friday,
and you can take your stuff. If you don't want
to wait for your day, you can take your stuff
for me. There's two different places within ten minutes you

(27:32):
can take your recycling or your trash for free and
you just say, well, get your plate and you just
drop it off.

Speaker 13 (27:39):
Now, with.

Speaker 12 (27:42):
This going on, they have those six centers are still open,
and they have sixty five additional centers that are like
on like dead ends. I think they're trying to do
it on dead End Street.

Speaker 5 (27:54):
So there's one. Yeah, let you go. I appreciate you
it because it's okay you too, But sanitation workers are
losing their edge here. I wonder why you can do
it free in Philly.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
I would think there'd be less.

Speaker 5 (28:11):
Space in Philly for trash.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Absolutely in a big c like that Philadelphia.

Speaker 5 (28:16):
You know who knows? Tony Soprano just started to rewatch,
wasn't he in trash management was a big mafia job.

Speaker 6 (28:23):
That's why I wondered with the sanitation stuff going on,
do they still have the mafia tis or has that
been cleaned out over the years.

Speaker 5 (28:29):
I don't know that was that is the big thing,
right that waste management? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (28:33):
Which one did you say?

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Justin?

Speaker 4 (28:36):
Justin go ahead, you have answer to my question.

Speaker 10 (28:39):
I got good answers, buddy, first time, long time?

Speaker 5 (28:42):
Who are all right?

Speaker 10 (28:44):
So I worked in Louisville at a place called Municipal Equipment,
which is a garbage truck dealer. For twenty years, we
sold in service to everybody in Kentucky, tennessee. So what
happens is l f UCG let's say government picture garbage
up in Lexington, takes it to a transfer station there
on Manchester Road. They contract that out to Republic Waste.

(29:05):
Republic Lace takes it to the landfill. The transfer station
is just a holding area.

Speaker 4 (29:09):
Basically, Okay, where's the land truck? Where's the landfill?

Speaker 10 (29:13):
It's c k y out in Georgetown, north of Georgetown
where so all.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
Of Lexington's trash ends up in Georgetown.

Speaker 10 (29:22):
Yes see, and you were talking about they put they
put plastic match down underneath everything before they even set
up landfill. So they capture all what's called uh, it's
called juice effluent, garbage waste juice yep. So they captured
all that stuff.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
So much does it guard?

Speaker 5 (29:39):
You said you used to play for the used to
work in a place a sold garbage trucks. Let's before
you give me the answer, Shannon, how much would you gas?
A top of the line garbage.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Truck cost seventy thousand.

Speaker 5 (29:51):
Seventy thousand. How much is the top of the line
garbage truck one hundred and twenty thousand, Ryan.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Two hundred and seventy five thousand.

Speaker 5 (30:00):
To Mario eighty thousand. I'm gonna say one. I'm gonna
say one oh five. What's the top what's the top
of the line garbage truck?

Speaker 10 (30:09):
All right, you're looking at a front load garbage truck
for commercial use picking up garbage bins. It's four hundred
and fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 10 (30:18):
Actually, I actually work for the manufacturer now. I travel
all over the United States, fly everywhere and work on
brand new garbage trucks.

Speaker 5 (30:26):
What I do for a living trade in how is like,
how does a town like Middlesbrough afford a garbage truck?
Because they wouldn't. I mean, that's a lot of money.

Speaker 10 (30:38):
Normally they don't buy the front load garbage trucks. It'd
be a real load garbage truck.

Speaker 14 (30:41):
Those would probably be about two fifty for a big one.
They still they still find yeah, they still finance theme.
You know, it's it's usually a big process between buying
a garbage truck and buying fire equipment. Those are always
who we go against because of fire equipment. You said
on the side of the road, and everybody loves seeing that.

(31:02):
Nobody likes seeing garbage trucks. That's the last thing you.

Speaker 10 (31:04):
Think of until until it's not picked up. Until it's
not picked up, and then everybody's screaming and yelling.

Speaker 5 (31:11):
Makes confect says, well, thank you, I appreciate the call.
Those are good answers to our question. See Drew, you
learn about life here on case.

Speaker 6 (31:18):
I learned to expensive those things where I thought I
had a good guess and.

Speaker 5 (31:21):
I thought Ryan was insane to say two fifty, and
that was almost exactly. It's like you were in the business.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
You think about a big city like Lection and they've
got fifty of those trucks running around the city all
the time.

Speaker 5 (31:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (31:32):
Probably well and been a very educational shits, it really has.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
Chuck, go ahead, Chuck.

Speaker 10 (31:40):
Hey Man.

Speaker 15 (31:40):
Two quick comments on pan of Hosky from a molar guy.

Speaker 5 (31:44):
I've heard you're a molar guy. So you're you're a
molar guy the high school. Yep, sin go for it.

Speaker 15 (31:52):
I've been watching you play for two years. I've heard
some tim Couch, Comps and so forth a different type
of athlete. I see Puny being more of a corner
outfielder or corner infielder if he goes baseball long term.
I think Couch could have played small forward for for
the Cats. Secondly, uh, they host Moler, will host Trinity

(32:13):
on September fifth at the College of Mount Saint Joseph
and Cincinnati. If you want to come up here, I'm sure, so.

Speaker 5 (32:19):
Tell me so tell me what his uh. I mean,
it's hard, I know, because but give me an example,
like if you were to pick a quarterback that he
would that we would know that he most reminds you
of what would you say, just not even in skill level,
just in terms of how he plays, in.

Speaker 15 (32:35):
Terms of how he plays. I mean, it's it's it's
not going to be the comp that people want to
hear necessarily. I feel like, but I see a lot
of Drew Barker. I mean, we never really got to
see Barker. I feel like is a finished product. Pamatowski's
strengths are he's extremely accurate, and he's very cerebral. He
doesn't make bad decisions.

Speaker 5 (32:55):
That's good. We haven't had a guy like that. In
a while, yep.

Speaker 15 (32:59):
And he's good at ball play, you know, and that's
what the NFL looks at now as ball policeman. And
but he's a very cerebral kid, so he can slow
the game down in his mind. Do you give him
a year like you said, Matt, and I think he's
gonna take over quickly.

Speaker 5 (33:14):
All right, good stuff, Thank you very much, appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
That's first hand observation right there.

Speaker 5 (33:19):
Yeah, so he plays trending, he looks like you got excited.
Is that a game you would go to?

Speaker 2 (33:22):
I think I would do to Mount Saint Joseph. I've
been there several times last couple of years, kind of
a goo little facility to have a big game like that.

Speaker 5 (33:28):
Are you gonna be as into all these now that
Joe Sid's gone? You're gonna be into all these high
school sports? Are you gonna like go back to living
a normal life?

Speaker 6 (33:35):
Are you done with the Broncos?

Speaker 2 (33:36):
I am gonna go, like on Friday night to go
into Douglas. I'll go to like maybe the game of
the week. Like we'll look at the schedule, say, okay,
what's the big game? Dante and alcohol, Like okay, Boyle
County plays Lexton Catholic. Let's go to that one, you
know something like that.

Speaker 5 (33:47):
Okay, so you're gonna be like you're gonna kind of
travel the state.

Speaker 6 (33:50):
Yeah, this will remind me of growing up when I
watch on the news if Ron Lemon was at your
high school stadium on a Friday night, it was a
big deal game of the week. To bring that back.

Speaker 5 (33:59):
We did that during COVID. It was a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
It was a lot of fun.

Speaker 5 (34:02):
We picked the game that was the best in the
state and we went. I really enjoyed that. Got to
go to all those schools. The Corbyn Douglas game especially
was a lot of fun. College game we went to,
uh while we went to Simon Kinton. Like there was
a Bardstown game. Wasn't there like two Bardstown schools playing
each other? That were good?

Speaker 4 (34:19):
We went, we went there.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
That's right, We sure did well. You did play by
play for somebody or.

Speaker 5 (34:23):
Color comment from Boyle County with that one kid County
at once.

Speaker 6 (34:27):
I remember seeing Pikeville's facilities that when they played Belfree
or whatever.

Speaker 5 (34:32):
And then there was uh It's Catholic once.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Yeah, so that was Old Thomas Highlands and we go
up there one time.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
Yep, yep, that's we did, all right. Tell me about
Stockton Mortgage.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Doctor martgat you know doctor Margan's and it does help
you close on a house. They help you go home.
That means guidance, support and loan options built around people,
not cookie cutter solutions. Buying a home can sometimes feel overwhelming,
but not when you have Stocktor Mortgage in your corner.
Their team makes things simple, fast and human, no jargon,
no pressure, just smart, real guidance. We give them a
call of Stockton dot com Doctor Mortgage MLS, a two

Back to you, Matt.

Speaker 5 (35:07):
Uh, One person writes, Matt tell Shannon Uh. He used
to be one of my favorites, but his Philly trashing
was harsh. Philly's an acquired taste but has great food. Uh,
great bars, nice area, and we are Philly and we
don't care if he doesn't like us.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
I don't care what you say. It's a trash town.
It is. I've been there. I've been there two times,
and that's two times too many.

Speaker 5 (35:27):
It's odd to me you have such anger. You're like, I.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
Can't stand the Philadelphia Eagles fans. First of all, why
aren't you Packers fans do with Philadelphia?

Speaker 5 (35:37):
But that's not a natural right, Like, why would you choose?

Speaker 3 (35:39):
I just like them in general, just because their fans
are awful, the worst of humanity.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
Worst of humanity, they are.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
Wow, mame you know we're okay? Well you want to
They were on Bobby Bones let us last week. Weren't
they worst fan bases?

Speaker 5 (35:53):
Yeah, but we were number one?

Speaker 3 (35:55):
Yeah, he's wrong about that.

Speaker 5 (35:58):
He is wrong about Gotta be careful, you may.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
We'll take a break right back.

Speaker 5 (36:03):
All right, So we have another great Ryan Lemon moment
during the break. All right. So if you go to Twitter,
I just retweeted John Robick's hair and he did a
picture that says, I'm so hyped about this donut eating
contest with Ryan Lemon. And he puts a picture of

(36:23):
Ryan Lemon eating donuts and Shannon it's pretty clearly AI.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Yeah, I mean, also I knew that First of all,
Ryan's not that fat. No, it doesn't really look I
mean it kind of does.

Speaker 5 (36:37):
It looks like a version of him. Yeah, but it
doesn't look like him, but it looks like a version
of him. But here's what's amazing. Ryan thought it might
be him?

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Does the picture on the on the right word just
me and two donuts? That's me?

Speaker 4 (36:52):
You thought this was you? Yeah, he himself, But it's
you know that's not you.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
Because it looks just like me. I got that hooting.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
Were you ever doing this?

Speaker 2 (37:05):
Not that I remember?

Speaker 5 (37:06):
I mean you felt for AI of yourself.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Yeah. The one thing that the only thing that threw
me off was I don't have that watch and my
wedding ring was black. That I didn't have a black
wedding ring, but I do have that hooting the blowfish
t shirt. Hair, hair looks the same.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
I think I could be talked into like committing a
crime based on an AI picture like that might have
been me. Like do you imagine.

Speaker 5 (37:28):
I'm looking at it? Those are your glasses? Yeah, that
kind of is your hair. Yeah yeah, but it's clearly
it's fatter than you. And how could you not know?
That wasn't you? You know, you know you've never been
in this situation. Have you ever sat have you ever

(37:49):
sat in front of a table of twenty five donuts
and eating them?

Speaker 13 (37:53):
No?

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Though, yeah, not that picture.

Speaker 5 (37:54):
But make sure they're talking, make sure is it?

Speaker 2 (37:58):
But the picture of me and just two nuts.

Speaker 5 (38:00):
I can see anything that is a fake picture, and
the other one was real.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
That's what I'm going with.

Speaker 5 (38:05):
I mean, Shannon, he ran this is Ryan limit. People say, oh, Matt,
you get frustrated Ryanan. Ryan's friends were able to say, Drew,
this is not Ryan Lemon. But Ryan himself.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Isn't really for sure about that.

Speaker 6 (38:21):
Did you just think that you has forgot about.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
It into a sugar coma?

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Can't you see me the other picture eating two doughnuts
and a plate show?

Speaker 6 (38:29):
He's within a millisecond I realized they're not real. One
doesn't even look anything like you. Here's a comeover.

Speaker 5 (38:36):
I cannot believe. Okay again, you want to know how
people fall for things?

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Amen?

Speaker 5 (38:43):
Ryan Lemon fell for a picture of himself.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
You know, uh? I think it was Channel eighteen did
a news story of the jury duty scam. Almost fell
for they like some lady did and lost with a
bunch of money.

Speaker 5 (38:55):
Yeah, and you that could have been you very story
about oout you, I will say, he's at least he's
he's sniffing it out.

Speaker 6 (39:04):
He didn't fully get scammed there, and he's now convinced
that that.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
Can't be me because that's not my watch.

Speaker 6 (39:12):
You don't have an Apple watch.

Speaker 5 (39:13):
I don't have it. By the way, he knows it's
not him, not by Shannon, oh his face.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Yeah, that looks just like me.

Speaker 4 (39:19):
Or the situation.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
I put a hooting in the Blowfish shirt that I
have that exact shirt.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
Well, first of all, when you say AI, there's not
a person that's drawing.

Speaker 6 (39:29):
It, and it says who ohe blah, the letters aren't
even right, John, go ahead, John, John, Yes, all right.

Speaker 16 (39:46):
Look two quick things. I want to be an optimist,
not a pessimist. I'll give a fifty to fifty on
the season going to Wow and a sad zong for
you to listen to from Keith Writley that you're a
It's called I Never Go Around Mirrors.

Speaker 5 (40:06):
Boy. Just that title seems sad. All right, I'll look
it up. I appreciate the call. That title seems very
very sad. By the way, it was a good night
uh on Manchester Street the other night for things Matt likes.
Even though I wasn't here. Ov W was at Manchester
Music Hall and the Bill Taylor band was at the
Borough just down the street Bill Taylor Band, I wasn't
gonna be in town or else. I could have gone

(40:28):
to both.

Speaker 6 (40:29):
It looked like a good OVW turnout.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Bill Taylor called into the show last Wednesday.

Speaker 5 (40:34):
We had them both. We had the Heathens. They were
literally right down the street from each other, and I
didn't know either one of them.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
We're gonna be there until.

Speaker 5 (40:39):
I had already made walking distance of your front door,
and you know, and I didn't see it.

Speaker 4 (40:44):
Sean, go ahead, Sean, Yeah, Matt.

Speaker 13 (40:47):
And crew, a great show today. Thank you very much
for all the different excitement of garbage.

Speaker 5 (40:53):
Or in title garbage.

Speaker 13 (40:54):
Thank you very much calling about the uh yeah, calling
about Matt pond Tusky. I live in the same town
as he does and grew up with his mom. His
mom is a Hall of Fame athlete, very very well
rounded player in high school as well. But as you
as you guys, both as everybody has picked out, he's
a two sport Gatorade Player of the Year, which is

(41:16):
very very rare, and he's only a junior, which he
has a great opportunity to win that again next year.
And I agree with the caller earlier. For Moeler, he
sees things sports wise in slow motion. He's just a
different level player, and the excitement around him for Kentucky

(41:37):
football should be way way higher hopefully, and I would
compare him and don't laugh at me, Matt, But he's
Joe Burrow like, I mean, he puts the ball right
on target. I mean, he's amazing.

Speaker 5 (41:53):
I got to cut you off. I appreciate it, but
but he's but you go, I'll take it. That's that's
what I want to hear. Tell Burrow ass I like it?
Why not? All right? A couple things. We're gonna do
the donut contest on Friday, can't wait? Interrupted by Matt Jones.
We will be taping an episode this afternoon. Look for
it later this evening. We'll do That's the News with
me and Billy and Drew, and then the rest of

(42:16):
the week we're here. We do not have a public
remote because the remote will be at your house and
it's not open to the public.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
That's correct. Yes, even though some people found my house
last year and walked in my backyard a little creepy,
not this year.

Speaker 5 (42:28):
You're gonna hide your house.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
I'm gonna hide it.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
You know, lock the gate you left it white open
last time.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
Yeah, there's no luck on it, right now.

Speaker 5 (42:35):
So it's a pool party, yes, for.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
Seeing s pools.

Speaker 5 (42:38):
It put in my pool, well nothing, It's gonna make
people want to buy a pool like you eating donuts.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
The entire time, skinny dipping after they eat donuts.

Speaker 5 (42:46):
All right, we will see you guys tomorrow. This has
