Welcome to our too of Kentucky Sports Radio present it
by Stockton Mortgage. Now Here's Matt Jones walker back.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Tucky Sports Radio Come op in lines, Take five, nine, two,
eight oh, twenty two eighty seven. I got some of
the stuff I want to get to, but i'd love
to talk to you. Media Day is Friday, camp starts
for UK football. We have asked UK to let us
come Friday. Hopefully we'll get to do that. If not,
I've just told well, then we'll just go to the
Reds game because they play Friday as well, so we'll

(01:27):
do one of those two. But I'd like to go
to media day because I haven't been in the last
couple of years. Are you excited about camp starting and
UK football kind of officially kicking off this week?

Speaker 2 (01:36):
You know, I kind of admitted recently that I am
kind of getting excited and sucked in a little bit.
I knew I would the season got closer and closer,
and I always like going to media day. One of
my best Matt Jones stories is media Day, you walking
around barefoot, barefoot on the field, carrying our little equipment,
interviewing people.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, I'll do it again. It's comfortable, although it's not
comfortable now they got that new field. Yeah, kind it's at.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
The time they had natural grass and you're walking around.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Are they are we doing? Are they doing a fan
day Saturday? So? So? So Media Day is Friday? Correct,
Fan Day is Saturday. Yeah, I want to say the
doors open at ten. I'm gonna say that with a
little hesitation. I think that's for those of you that
are UK fans, that's a really good day to take
your kids. Yes, it is because the players play with
the kids, and I would say, you know, it's a

(02:20):
lot of them are really into it because they don't
get to do a lot of interaction with fans. So
I would say if you don't have something to do
the Saturday fan day, I do think Ryan is a
good thing.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Always been a huge success, and you know, the Kentucky
Ata does a really good job of letting the players
interact with the kids and the families, photos, autographs, whatever.
It's a lot of fun.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, and maybe we'll get to know the players Friday. Maybe.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
I think, you know, it looks like we've got a
chance to maybe get some players on if we decide
to go out there Friday.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
We do.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
Yeah, what about Mitch? Can I get him on?

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I didn't ask.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
He's talking at nine to thirty, so he'll be there.
So let's ask for me. Okay, there's no Stoops this year.

Speaker 6 (02:54):
He's talking right now because he has a procedure later
in the week, so you want to go ahead and
get his media out of the way.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
So Stoops is talking right now, just wrapped up. Probably
what did he say. I've been trying to keep up
with highlights.

Speaker 6 (03:06):
No, he is media day thing right now. Yes, he
can't do Friday. He's having a minor procedure. I think
I saw a tweet that said it's something on his
face and he doesn't want to do TV with a
big bandage on his face. So Stoops was today, But
Friday will have Barnhart in the two coordinators and if
we have a new coach, not head coach, but oh

(03:26):
the tight end coach. No, we have a new offensive
line the assistant offensive line.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Have an assistant to the regional manager, Shannon of the
offensive line.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Gotta go through hump first before you get there. Wolf.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
What's his name? Yeah, I need to pull that up,
but from somewhere, but I guess Drake Jackson got a job,
Greg Frey, Greg Fray. So now we have two offensive
line coaches.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
The wait a minute, didn't our main offensive line coach,
just get a major raise. Why does he need an
assistant assistant?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Why does he need an assistant?

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Because that's what you do with offensive to.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Fall down one time this season.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Shit, that's what you do with offensive lines that have
been killing it. You give and then you give him
an extra assistant. And there's one thing we know. Our
offensive line has been killing.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
It, killing our quarterback.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
So yeah, well hopefully this guy helps. He's coached in
a lot of different schools over here, coached with stoops before.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Everybody says delphensive line, much much improved going into the season.
So if they can do that, I got my optimism high.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
By the way, this is a second. Do you remember
a couple of years ago me complaining on this show
about a guy that played for the Reds named Bubba Thompson.
Oh yeah, and I said he was terrible, and I
was like, Bubba Thompson, get rid of Bubba Thompson. Guess
what Bubba Thompson's doing right right now? He's like an
all star driving ruber quarterback for South Alabama. No way, yes,

(04:47):
no way. I don't know, but he is the quarterback
that dude that I used to complain about the First
of all, I'm clearly right. If he's now the quarterback
of South Alabama, then he shouldn't have been playing baseball.
But is that not? While that is crazy, he is
the he is the starting quarterback this year for South Alabama.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Went from the big in the Major League. You know,
Russell Wilson never made it the big leagues when.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
He went from the Major leagues to South Alabama football.

Speaker 6 (05:11):
Arkansas has a receiver that's thirty. He just retired from
South Alabama football.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
I kind of like it, to be.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
Honest, as long as he's not on the rints. All right,
A couple of little things here. First of all, the
Baseball Hall of Fame was yesterday. Uh, here's who got
in each your row? Yeah? You like each your row? Absolutely?

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yes, if you If you can't count up all these
hits from Japanese in the United States, he's the.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Leader in world history if you were to count everything. Yep,
he's got It was interesting to see him. He looks
the exact same in the face, except now he has
a great he looks. But it was kind of I
liked each row. He was like, uh, he was little
and he would just hit. I always like lefties who went.
After they hit, their one hand falls off the bat
and they almost look like they hit with one hand.
For some reason, I always think that's cool.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
You know, every I thinks Pete Rose is the hit king,
but at Cheero maybe the best piece. Cheiro Cheer Cheero
e hei row.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
Yeah, I just didn't know if you knew. I thought
maybe you weren't correcting this. Did you see he uninvited
the voter that didn't Yeah, I had a voter who
didn't vote for him to come to dinner. And then
he said, all right, invitation rescinded because the guy never
would say who. He said, it's expired. Yeah. Ce Sabbathia
made it in actually oddly weird. Once had a lot

(06:31):
of interactions with C. C. Sabathia.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
How's that happened?

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Remember there was a business thing you remember, Well he
was involved in the oh and so I and I.
He was really nice. I really liked him, C. Sabbathi,
So congrats to him. Were some custom jays to his
ceremony yesterday he did Billy Wagner, Dick Allen, who I
guess passed away, his wife gave the speech. But then

(06:54):
for me, the highlight was Dave Parker, the guy who
played for the Pirates and the Reds. He unfortunately just
recently a month ago, with complications of Parkinson's disease. But
on his way, I guess before he died, he wrote
a poem that he wanted his son to read at
the Hall of Fame ceremony. Okay, and you're probably thinking, oh,

(07:17):
that's emotional and sad. That was not the kind of
poem he read, right, He he was not interested in
a sad poem, Ryan, He was interested in a in
a funny point. And of course now I can't put
it up, but in it he included it said lines
like I'm the prettiest, I'm the sexiest, I'm the cobra.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
I think that's gonna google long with his personality. That's
why he wanted to go out and want to be
remembered that because that's the type.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
Of person that Shennon if after you passed, would you
would you have write a poem and not be emotional
or sappy, just be like.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Fun Absolutely, Yeah, it's gonna be like one last hill
ovw promo that I'm gonna have you read to everybody.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Yeah, and including the line I am the cobra, which
I thought was hilarious.

Speaker 6 (08:00):
And I think he said something like known from my
rocket arm or something like that.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
Running over catchers. He was literally cut. He was That's
a good example. He was cutting a promo on his
way out, So I thought that was kind of funny.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
I thought it was awesome. Like I said, Yes, he
wants to be remembered. Remember me, not the guy who's
in a wheelchair with Parkinson's Remember me as the player,
the cobra, the king.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Yes. Then did you see Jokic Nikolai Jokic?

Speaker 7 (08:23):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (08:23):
Apparently sus the bat fastball season is over. He goes
to Serbia and he starts horse racing. He owns horses.
He doesn't race himself, but and it's like harness racing, right,
It's like people sitting back and hitting the thing. And
he goes and his horse won, I guess a big
race in Serbia yesterday. Did you see him crying?

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Was he?

Speaker 4 (08:43):
He showed more emotion cheering for his horse yesterday than
he did when he won the NBA finals. Like he's
he's bawling. Go look up the video. He's bawling because
he's so happy that his horse won a harness race
and then they countered it with when he won the
NBA Finals and he just walked off the court. He
didn't even like smile, he didn't do anything, and then

(09:05):
he cries when his horse won the horse race. What
did you think about it?

Speaker 6 (09:09):
It was funny to see if for a guy who
doesn't show a lot of emotion, you know, what is
he like? A three time MVP NBA champion. But this
little harness track where it didn't look like that many people.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Were there work. It looked like the Red Mind he ran.
There were forty five people at the Red Mind.

Speaker 6 (09:23):
He gives that jockey the biggest hug. He's Pooring's champagne
on him. That looks to be the happiest he has
ever been.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
It's a fascinating video. You know they always say that
people are happier when their kids succeed, yeah, than when
they succeed. But could it be happier Shannan, that you're
happier when your horse sixceeds than when you succeed.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
No, I think that's a little strange. I'll be a
lot more happier for me than my horse out there.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
But he was not thrown. I guess he was. I
mean this man must really love horses, like really love it, you.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Know, and reported that said he doesn't really love basketball,
doesn't condition in the office, and doesn't practice much.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Well, they act like he looks at basketball like I
looked at law. Yeah, Like, well, I guess I just
here we go. There has to be no player that's
been good that seems to hate what they're doing more
than him.

Speaker 6 (10:15):
And love something so random and like a harness racing
a fraction of the significance of his American harness racing people,
why don't they want him involved?

Speaker 8 (10:25):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (10:27):
They should be like begging him to come be part
of American harness racing, right.

Speaker 6 (10:32):
Something with him. Set up a Serbia versus America harness
racing and bring Yokic over.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
Here anyway that mill needs to do it. Nobody was
happier than Jokic at the hardest.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
He runs out there onto the track and he looks
to be the size of the horse as he's hugging everyone.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, I would pay to watch him do the harness racing. Brad,
go ahead, Brad.

Speaker 7 (10:51):
Good morning, fellas I'm gonna say on my inner Madison here,
I've got two things for you. First off, on the
new Happy Gilmour movie, it's one you gotta But then
I don't think it has that classic side to it
to where like the old one where you wanted to
watch it over and over and over.

Speaker 9 (11:07):
Oh okay, but it was still pretty funny.

Speaker 7 (11:11):
And I know we're going back to an old topic here,
but I actually lived behind that new Kroger that's being
built on Newtown Pike, and it's it's a nightmare even
getting out of our neighborhood. I tried to run the
public so to day and I couldn't even get through
the cross on on Newtown Pike in citation to get
the publics. It took me fifteen minutes to cross that

(11:34):
road in the stoplights.

Speaker 9 (11:36):
So it's it's pretty crazy.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
Yeah, well, I mean that the city, I don't know.
I appreciate the call. Lexi is a great city, but
I don't know what to do. There's too many there's
too many cars, too many people. We have the Nashville
problem on a smaller scale. We're growing too fast and
it wasn't built to hold all that it was. It's
clear we were not. And then you have the horse
farms that will not allow it to expand. I mean,
I think that's one of Likesington's biggest problems is we've

(12:01):
got all this rich horse farms everywhere, and I understand
you don't want to just run them over. But because
of that, the city just cannot expand in a lot
of areas, which means it can only expand in a
handful of areas. And that traffic, Like there's only so
much growth. I mean, it's that new Town Pike, Georgetown Road.
Those are the only places where this city can expand,
and they don't have the infrastructure to hold it.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Le seems like an island with the horse farms, you
guys said it man, and those areas that they can
develop on, they cram so much into a small area
that there's no room for the traffic.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
There's no there's nowhere for people to go. And everybody
wants to live here because Lexington is awesome.

Speaker 6 (12:37):
And now we're starting to go up. Like I know someone,
we know him together. He's told us to be out
of his house soon he's renting because they're putting in
another high rise apartment. There's just gonna be more and
more of those popping up. Yeah, well, we're not expanding,
you know the area.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
You know, I mean so, but you would you say
we got to get like till these horse farms get out. No,
that's the charm, that's what makes you Lexington. It is,
so we just I guess just have to eat it, Mike.
Go ahead, Mike.

Speaker 5 (13:06):
Yeah, man, I find that's agreeing a lot more here lately.
But we'll get back.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
Yeah, I mean see, let me just a point about that.
I genuinely believe that ninety percent of the people agree
on ninety percent of the issues, and the ten percent
where we disagree is used to make each everybody hate
each other. And I'm glad to talk about these things
that affect people's lives where we do agree, Mike, because
I think that's really what people often care about the most.

Speaker 5 (13:35):
No doubt. But the one point I wanted to make,
like you were talking earlier, which I know it's kind
of funny, but it's really not. Because traffic's like that
everywhere a little bit. Well, like you said, this hires
some smarter people to plan this stuff, because like Louisville,
for instance, when they close the bridge, well I go
to two sixty five where you have to go around,
and they cut it down to one light. So the
why do both at once. Thanks that I totally agree.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
You and I agree you don't have to hire smarter people.
But Mikey, that means you probably have to pay them,
which means you probably have to stop cutting the government
if you're gonna pay people like good people gonna make money,
so you're gonna have to pay them. I mean, these
are it's these things.

Speaker 5 (14:13):
But I don't I don't think it's take a rocket
science just to figure out don't close every way out
of the city.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
Very good point. Appreciate it probably doesn't take a rocket
side just to uh to do that.

Speaker 5 (14:25):
See.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
I like that, Ryan. We we are agreen on more
and more things.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
And the one the main artery from downtown after the
soccer stadium, don't close it down, Barrel.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
It's closed till twenty twenty seven. Court dot com krt
dot com. If you need physical therapy, go to court
dot com. That can help you feel better, and you're
your insurance can probably be used. It's ko rt dot com.
No reason to walk around and pay. Let's say you
go for a long walk like I did on Saturday,
and then you're sweaty and hot. You go to Court
physical Therapy. They can get all the knots out and

(14:56):
all the do hickeys, and next thing you know, you're fine,
it's Court do hickey. Yeah, I gotta get rid of them.
That's the only it's the only kind of hickey. Ko
rt dot com, that's court dot com. We'll take a break.
Great back to Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back Tekey Sports Radio.
If I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. I
got a comment on the text machine a few days

(15:17):
ago that said, Matt, I know you pick and choose
the questions you read from the text machine. How about
you one take just read five in a row so
that you have to answer. I think that's fair. That
way you get a good sample. So I'm just gonna
start right here. One person writes, Matt, what do you
start to miss more leading up to football and basketball seasons?
I missed the postgame and pregame shows. I think what

(15:39):
he's asking is, what do you miss when the season
is over? I guess I miss being like on at
the bar, like in those atmospheres and stuff pre and postgame.
I miss I miss that. That's probably what it is.
And I miss the postgame shows. It can get a
lot when there's all these games happening, but that probably

(16:00):
I missed the fun of everybody, kind of the community
coming together.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
I think the funnest thing we do all year are
the pregame shows that they're at Chas Bar. Yeah, just
the atmosphere and the people and the show itself. It's
a lot of fun.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
One person writes the name ichi Ro is Japanese for
the name first son, zero means second son, and soburro
means third son. There you go. Did you know that?
I did? None. Another person writes, Matt, what do you
think about scientists reporting that a dangerous alienship is heading
towards Earth and will be here in twenty twenty nine?

Speaker 9 (16:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (16:31):
What do you think about that?

Speaker 4 (16:32):
I don't believe that's true, and I think you're making
that up.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
How do they know it's a dangerous alien ship? Could
be a friendly alien ship?

Speaker 4 (16:39):
I was reading on this last night. Is this what
you mean? It's a real thing.

Speaker 6 (16:43):
I mean it's reel as an alien ship coming for
Earth can be. But I mean they didn't just make
that up. There are things out there. What the places
I go on the internet, we get into some weird things.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
Spaceship is heading our way, alien spaceship heading our way.

Speaker 6 (16:58):
I didn't mean there is. I'm saying it is being
said on the internet. Boy who read it?

Speaker 4 (17:03):
I was for read it.

Speaker 6 (17:05):
No, I actually did read a link about it. I
don't believe it, but that is being passed around the internet.
That's some gigantic ship is heading for us.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
I like how they have an eta, like they know
it's gonna be here about twenty twenty nine. How do
you know?

Speaker 4 (17:17):
Well, I will say this. Okay, I've been reading, all right,
So now a little sidetrack here. I've been on this
kick about reading about the Aztecs and Montezuma. Okay. I
read this book called You Dreamed of Empires. It's a novel.
It's really good. It's weird, very weird, but very good. Uh.
And it's about you know, I went, like, when Cortes

(17:38):
and those people came to, uh to off the coast
of Mexico. You know that Cortes and the Tenoche de Clan.
Do you know any of that stuff from history?

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Cortes story sounds and may I don't know what the others.

Speaker 4 (17:49):
He came from Spain within then they landed on the
coast of Mexico and then the people in Mexico City,
which used to be called Tenoche Declon they met him,
and they didn't know what to do. Anywhere I've been
reading all that point is they talked about how both groups,
the people from Spain and then the Native well I
guess not Native Americans, Mexica was what the name of

(18:09):
the Indian group. They both looked at each other like
they were aliens because they had never seen anything. Like like,
think about it. You're ere the Mexicas and you see
what are basically to you, white people, and you've never
seen white people before, and you're like.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Aliens, what is this?

Speaker 4 (18:31):
And then the people who are sailing are like seeing
all these headdresses and they see the city on an island,
and they're like, what in the world is this? And
even though I don't think they're aliens, Shannon, that could
be what would happen. Imagine we just look up one
day and like when the Mexicas see these ships, they
didn't even know what ships were. They were only on canoes,

(18:54):
and they said it looked like floating houses. That could
be us one day when whatever, Shannon, if.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
It sounds like you're kind of coming over to our
side and it's no, it's not gonna.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
But we when we do, it would have to be
what it was like for them when they were like,
what is this that just shows up? I would be
very confused.

Speaker 6 (19:17):
But if I'm not mistaken, I think the story I
read said these are hostile people coming to kill us,
so it might be a quick standoff.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
How did they know that? I have no idea. I'm
just repeating, what did you think about Trump cheating at golf?

Speaker 6 (19:28):
We remember I've read the Trump Cheating at Golf book,
so I know more Trump cheating at golf stories than
I need to know, So just add it to the list.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
That was a good one, though. Yeah, I have to
say I love the you got and you got. When
you get to a point you're so powerful, you could
have somebody go ahead of you and then casually throw
the ball behind their back so that it lands to
where you can hit it, and then you get out
of the cart and.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Go, well, look at the good shot I just.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Happened to be right here. That that that's how you
know you're powerful, right when you have people go ahead
of you to make sure your ball is there. Uh,
there's a lot of that.

Speaker 6 (20:07):
I can't think of the name of the book that
Rick Rawley wrote, but a lot of that. I think
the Secret Service just keeps his golf balls in their
pocket for that reason. If they see him hit in
the water, they just kind of everyone around, I think
is participating and making sure he's having a good day on.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
The golf course.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
Who has that job? Like, is that a specific job?
Definitely is part of the you know, job description for
some service.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
There's there are caddies at Valhalla that will do that.
Oh no, no, there's caddies. I've seen it. There's caddies
at Vaja. Somebody will give the caddy a fifteen. Go
make sure I get a good lie. I don't need
to pay fifty for that. I'll just tear myself.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
I have absolutely zero prom I'm just saying.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
Maybe I played golf with Terry Minders and I saw
fifty exchange hands before it started, and then all of
a sudden you'd be like.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Wow, Terry, good lie there, what a bright sand.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
I thought that was over there in the fiscue. And
then you go Terry's like, we'll take care of you,
like you know, Terry catching strays here, catching strays. I'm
just saying that's a that's a style I've seen before.

Speaker 6 (21:13):
Okay, well, not everybody follows the USG rule book as
closely as as you.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
I'm not gonna act like I don't enjoy I saw
they showed later on today. He did my thing, which
is like four foot putt. You tap it towards the hole,
but don't really get kind of drag it. You kind
of drag it to the whole. I've done that. Not
gonna lie, that's okay, I'm alright with it. But the
having a caddy go ahead and throw the ball in

(21:40):
the ground, that's a that's a little bit of a Again,
that's a Terry Miners move, Shannon, if I was to call,
if I was, you can look me in the eye
and tell me he didn't do that. Noah, go ahead, Noah, noah.

Speaker 10 (21:58):
Hey guys, sorry, uh hey. I just wanted to be
able to give an apology to Ryan, specifically on Friday,
when you guys were over here, Nick was still I
was the one who was backing the car when Ryan
was out there trying to smash that watermelon in with
the bed lick.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Are you almost You almost hit Ryan with the car
And I didn't even know it was back there.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Yeah you I mean the video you came very close
to running over poor Ryan Lemon.

Speaker 5 (22:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (22:27):
I had to head out to work early before. That's
why I asked you before if you could wait, if
we could win the price tickets before if we had.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
Asked me to change the rules so you could win tickets.
I said no, And you decided to just go run
over Ryan Lemon and return.

Speaker 8 (22:45):
No.

Speaker 10 (22:45):
I just had a hurried I had to take my
client back to back to work.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
Okay, all right, Well I appreciate the car. I don't
know if you did. You see in the video how
close you were to getting hit by car.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
I didn't see it until the video. I had no idea.
We were out there trying to bang that watermelon.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
You you came to he was out there banging water
It happens. He watches American Pie. I will say, what
was the name of the place again? Custom fitting Kentucky
customs and up fitting Kentucky customs and upfitting that bedliner
they put on the football. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, football,
They should sell that.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, it's kind of cool.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
I think people would buy that. I've put it up
in my house and every like, I think it's the
coolest thing I've ever seen. Oh, you mean, just sell
the stuff. I was like, they do sell the bed football,
dip it in bedliner and sell it. I think people
would buy that. I took the donuts. It's pretty neat.
I think it's awesome. We'll be right back. TJ. Smith,
personal injury attorney, called TJ. He'll make them pay.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage.
Here's Matt Jones.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
Walker's back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Draft Kings Tonight,
Rens and the Dodgers play. It's y'a I'm a moto
versus the Reds. I think we're pitching Chase Burns. You said,
but nothing says summer like Draft Kings. Never bet on
baseball before. Pick a guy to go yard, pick a
picture to get strikeouts. Chase Burns gets a lot of them.
Gives off the hits too, but he gets a lot
of strikeouts. You can do it on the Draft Kings app.

One person writes in, Matt, I hate to say this

(24:30):
because I love him, but I've been Terry Miner's caddy before,
and you're exactly right. That is wedding, no caration. The
caddy outing you thought I was lying, and the caddy
is backing up that. The trump throw the ball behind
your back put it in is also a Terry Miner.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
I don't like this Terry slander that's going on. Terry
on here to defend himself.

Speaker 4 (24:54):
Listen, it's okay, I pick up four footers. Terry pays
caddies to throwing the ball back in the fairway.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
It's okay. It doesn't sell, it's okay.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
According to Billy, came in here all angry. Billy, tell
real quick what you said during the break.

Speaker 11 (25:12):
Oh well, speaking of cheating, I went to Pinehurst a
couple of years ago.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
And we got to let me pick up that name
you dropped okay.

Speaker 11 (25:21):
Yeah, So I went to Pinehurst a couple of years
ago and we got a four caddy, so they will
go ahead of you to watch where your ball lands
and throw. And so they did not tell us this,
but the fore caddies would go up to your ball
and move it onto a better lie. They say, for
pace of play. You know, all these amateurs come out
here in the waste collection area and they're just hitten
into the sand and they don't make any progress. The

(25:43):
caddy goes up and moves your ball to give you
a better lie.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
He didn't notice. It's awesome.

Speaker 11 (25:48):
Don't touch my ball. Okay, I'm trying to play around
the golf. Don't give me a better lie.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
Good enough. I say this with respect because you're probably
about the same as me. You're not good enough to
not move the ball.

Speaker 11 (26:03):
Okay, Well, I mean the sport of golf is I
mean about integrity, and I don't cheat. I don't want
to doing it for everybody. Let's test myself. Maybe what
I can score on a nice course, but do.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
You know what you can score on a nice course badly?

Speaker 11 (26:18):
Well, I wouldn't say that. That's subjective.

Speaker 4 (26:20):
What did you shoot ninety two? So you shot ninety two,
but they moved the ball. Yeah, so imagine what you
would have shot otherwise. Yeah, Like I don't know, And
that would have made you feel better to shoot one
hundred and five.

Speaker 11 (26:29):
No, but it would have been all me instead of
the caddy moving my ball into a better line.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
Oh, you had a ninety one or ninety three.

Speaker 11 (26:37):
If you're going to do that, at least tell me,
don't like, just go out there.

Speaker 4 (26:40):
And so you got mad at this person trying to
do you a favor.

Speaker 6 (26:43):
Could it have been you were so bad he didn't
want to tell you because you'd argue, He's like, I
gotta speed this guy up.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
He's holding up the course.

Speaker 11 (26:48):
He was like, I do this to everybody. Like you
were not special. It's not like you're noticeably bad.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
Oh you thought maybe he came up to you and
was like this guy particularly needs he tell me.

Speaker 11 (26:58):
Yeah, I didn't want to see.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
I felt bad. I didn't want that. So okay, Well
I would say to you, it'd be better for you
to have a ninety two than one hundred and one.

Speaker 11 (27:06):
Yeah, but that one on one would have been mine, Matt.
And now there's an asterisk next to my ninety two
because of this stupid caddy.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
All right, well it's not like my Beth Page Black
eighty eight, which is completely legit. And as you watch
the Ryder Cup, you can know Matt Joones shot eighty
eight on this exact same course. My biggest take away
at all this is Terry didn't pay enough for the
caddy and not telling him. I mean, you're obviously cheap
if the caddy is going to go tell people. Yeah,
all right, let me. I'm gonna say this now real quick,
since Billy is in the room, some cool news. This

(27:34):
is not an official announcement, So this is just like
I'm giving my our audience little heads up. It's not
one hundred percent official, but it's probably like ninety eight
percent official, unbelievably for reasons that I'll don't really understand.
The NFL I'm talking about, the National Football League has

(27:58):
hired Drew and I to do a for them.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
This is nice.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
The boys knew I'd get to the NFL. What a
bizarre decision. I mean, like the other podcasts are like
Good Morning Football, Ian Rapaport. I mean, they have like
six podcasts, and now it's gonna be me Andrew I
don't know why. And we get to come up there

(28:25):
like you all pick what it's gonna be. You all
like they're gonna build us a studio. They are thinking
about sending us to the super Bowl. Oh my why,
I don't really know. This is not the official announcement.
I'm just letting y'all know. I have a meeting to

(28:45):
kind of finalize it this week where you have to
pick out a name. Matt and Drew do it for
you different. We'll get some mother I just but anyway,
it's exciting. Billy's gonna be producing, Mario's gonna do some
of the social media. But are you excited about that?

Speaker 8 (29:07):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (29:08):
I'm very excited. I absolutely love the NFL. I'm still
like you a little bit in the what huh why?

Speaker 4 (29:15):
I mean when they called me about it, I just
thought they were like, wrong number. You mean the guy
that played at Arkansas? Oh you mean the Florida running back. Oh,
the Australian golfer Matt Jones.

Speaker 8 (29:29):
No, you.

Speaker 4 (29:31):
And you know, I mean I've met with the NFL
people like they they they're talking about, They're like you
if you want to have on as guests. Sometimes they're like,
we can help you get players. What in the world
am I going to say to these NFL players but
still exciting, Well, they had to have seen my experience.

Speaker 6 (29:49):
I played tight end fifth grade West Broadway, Bobcats one
career catch. You know, in our football pregame show, everyone
just fills the knowledge oozing from their radio football. They
certainly feel that with me on the ESPN, I think
they see us as like a Madden Summer all type.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
No, they specifically said to me in all serious is
they were like, we want a show for fans who
aren't necessarily experts. And I said, well, I'm you or
I'm me, whether you want somebody it's not an expert.
Here you go. It's way too much work for me.
But I can't say no. Okay, right, you can't say no.

(30:27):
You gotta do it that we will tape on Sunday
nights after the games. So that's one of the things
the four of us have to do is we're gonna
have to trudge down to this studio on Sunday night
after Sunday Night football, which means we're probably gonna watch
the game sometimes like together. And uh so the record

(30:49):
like a reaction show immediately after it's over and then
I'm up six am Monday morning. No, I mean, I'm
gonna be previous. I don't even like me. We'll cut
that part of them. Yeah, don't say that too loud,
but no, I like it. If you had told me
ten years ago that we'd be doing this, I would
have thought you were crazy. I really would. I would

(31:12):
have liked of all the sports.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
But you know, obviously your expertise you bring to the
NFL expertise none. You bought a book that one time.
They did ask me. They were like, we want you
to know the rosters. So that's something I'm getting Billy
to help me. Like we got to figure out, like
how do we.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
Learn this flash cards. Jake Ferguson just signed a new
deal with the Dallas Cowboys. Oh I love Fergie fer
that's my guy. He dates a Cavender, which is what
I know about it. So anyway, so it's exciting. Hopefully
we'll have more details in the coming weeks. I'm excited
for Mario and Billy that they get a chance to
do this. And like, you know, but the NFL is

(31:52):
going to see what the were technical difficulty beings.

Speaker 6 (31:55):
Yeah, they don't have many of those NFL films the sables.
They didn't have many difficult.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
Technical meeting last week and they were asking about all
this equipment and they said do you have that? And
the answer was no to everything. So they're having to
bring in I think there's somebody from the NFL coming
to this studio. I we got this, I mean, so
I'm excited about it. That's this is an unofficial announcement.
The official announcement will come when we have a name

(32:22):
and stuff. They're going to take our videos, Shannon and
put it on the official NFL Instagram and TikTok page.
Followers are forty five million followers. Big Time Now forty
five million follows.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
For all the analysis, I don't.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
Know what to wear. They said, just dressed like you
normally would, And I was like, you sure the NFL?
All right? So anyway, Mark go ahead? Mark? Hello, Yes,
go ahead. Hey.

Speaker 9 (32:51):
The first thing, congratulations on that, Matt. I it's I'm
not gonna say, well deserved the ideas.

Speaker 4 (32:57):
Thank you.

Speaker 9 (32:58):
Oh that's the thing. That way things are going these days,
and you know, gotta like Average Joe podcast and different
things like that. But what I called about is I
go back and forth between Cincinnati and Lexing and lawful lot,
and I personally think the traffic in Lexing is worse
than Cincinnati. You haven't seen bad traffic in Cincinnati until
they complete this bridge in about the next seven eight years.

(33:21):
Everyone should just pretty much if you have to cross
the river, you should never move somewhere else.

Speaker 4 (33:25):
I agree, it's terrible. You're exactly right. You said seven
or eight years. I'll double that. They will. They'll be
doing that. They'll be doing that when Drew's first born
goes to college, I can guarantee you.

Speaker 9 (33:39):
I'm not quite sure about that because it's it's actually
become an initiative with their infrastructure things, so people are
really pushing a big time because it's actually a safety
hazard and it cuts down a whole lot of things. Hey,
one last thing I want you talking about. I know
you're a big Reds fan and you dump on the
Sundle players. Sometimes you know one of the players that
you originally dumped on about four or five years ago,
au Inio.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
I know now I want him, want him, Now I
want him. I agree, I dune thought him and now
he's good, and now I would like him to come
back to Cincinnati. So I can go eho oh and
get him his five syllables. I'm I was that was one.
I appreciate the call. Most of them I've been right
about I was wrong about him, and he's the number

(34:21):
one trade piece everyone's trying to get.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
I started the red pregame show. They spent most of
the pregame show talking about who could they trade to
bring him back to Cincinnati.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
I would love to have a hu Hainio back, but uh,
that might be hard to do. We'll take a break.
AF I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty Seven's
KOSR Welcome Back file, say Kentucky Sports Radio. If I'm
nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. I will
have a new interview today our our friend Josh Hopkins
the actors coming in uh to talk today on the show. Yeah,

(34:50):
in studio. He's in town. So we're going to talk
about his acting career. Also, you know he amongst the
things I want to talk about, he was on that movie, uh,
the Alec Baldwin.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Oh, he was on the set.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
He was one of the actors.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Was he there when it happened?

Speaker 4 (35:04):
I think so? Oh my, So, I mean we're gonna
talk about I don't think he's talked a lot about it.
I think we'll probably talk about that.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
Sure he'll want to talk about the Sarah Spartans winning
the state football title.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
He probably will. I'm nine two eight h twenty two
eighty seven. I do want to say one thing before
I go to the phone. Prayers to the people in
folks in Wayne County, Kentucky. Caleb Brice, a young man
who had just finished his freshman year of high school
played football and basketball at Wayne County, died in a
car accident this weekend. I've spent a lot of time

(35:35):
in Wayne County in the last couple of years. They've
been very kind, invited me. I've spoken at their school
and events in Monticello. You know that is a very
very tight knit community, and from what I understand this,
this young man was beloved part of the community. Like
I said, played all the sports, played for a couple
of state wide basketball teams. And it is very devastating

(35:59):
for anybody that age is gonna go in into a
sophomore year of high school. So my prayers are to
everybody there. I know it is it is, uh. I mean,
there are no words that can make it better, but
it is having a strong impact there and I feel
a personal connection because of all my travels there in
the last few years. So my prayers and I know

(36:20):
everybody on the show Ryne for the family friends in
town with the passing of Caleb Brice.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
When you know, a tragic event happens like that in
a small, tight knit community, it resonates and everybody feels it.
I mean, the everybody's feeling the lost down there right now.
So yeah, thoughts and prayers to everybody down there.

Speaker 4 (36:38):
Yeah, free bird, go ahead, free bird.

Speaker 8 (36:42):
Hey guys, Yes, prayers to the families down there. I
got a lot of buddies down there in Wayne County.
Matt didn't last year, wasn't the Kentucky Derby and the
Oaks race, didn't they excuse me, wasn't the time later?

Speaker 4 (36:57):
Also? I know, yeah, now they're racing the Derby at
like six thirty six forty five. But this is going
to be at least with the Oaks fully under the lights.
It's like going to start at like eight thirty or
eight forty. So, but yes, it's gotten later over the years.
It used to be at like five, and it's they've
continued to move it farther and farther back.

Speaker 8 (37:19):
Well, my question is what's an hour difference going to make.
I think it.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
Makes a big difference. Like think, so, first of all,
Oaks Day, the Oaks always ran at like six. Yeah, right,
so the Oaks, you know, you could be out by
seven and make a dinner, right if you wanted to.
All the parties the Derby would go later in the day.
But it's kind of a little like under talked about
secret that Derby night is kind of slow because it's

(37:45):
everybody's exhausted. But the night in Louisville, the social night
is Oaks Night. That's when the parties are, That's when
the big dinners are. That's when people are out until
four or five in the morning. And I think now
the worry is that with that race one off at
eight thirty eight, forty people will just do what they
do on Derby Night, which is nothing, and that will

(38:06):
that will hurt the city.

Speaker 8 (38:08):
Oh gotcha? All right, thanks for taking a calling man.

Speaker 4 (38:11):
A great listen. This is in the city of Louisville.
This is all anybody's talking about. I was there this weekend.
It's all anybody's talking about it. Jeff Ruby made a
long post basically asking to create a community commission to
work with Churchill Downs on these things. You know, there's
some people are thinking, well, maybe that what used to

(38:31):
be on Friday nights will now just be on Thursday
nights and all the parties and the dinners will will happen.
Then there's some people are saying, well, maybe everybody will
just wait and then do it on Saturday nights after
the derby. But it's a big deal. I mean, you
could make an argument the Friday night before the Derby
is the biggest social night in Kentucky of the year,
in every four all easily and this moving of the race,

(38:55):
whether it will ruin it remains to be seen, but
it will certainly have an effect, right you.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Know, right now people show up at the party's dinner,
what nine ten o'clock, they move that race back. Now
that you're talking about midnight, by the time people show.

Speaker 4 (39:08):
Like barn Stable Brown, it's hard to do that party
unless you started eleven at night, you know, And.

Speaker 6 (39:16):
Those people are getting up for derby the next day
a lot. But I think the big thing is people
are now gonna eat at Churchill Downs and when you've
already had your dinner and the race is over. How
probability You're just like, let's just go in and rest
up for tomorrow's.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
That's what really makes I think the dinner people mat
is they're basically like Churchill Downs. You are now taking everything.

Speaker 6 (39:35):
People really have a reason to go out if they've
eaten and had their fun there until late at the night.

Speaker 4 (39:39):
Yeah. Now maybe people don't start going to it until
three or four o'clock and maybe you get a lunch thing.
I mean, I don't know, we'll have to see bye.
I totally understand why Churchill Downs did it, but I
also understand why the city is frustrated, you know. I mean,
for me, let's just use ks bar. We sit there
and wait on baited breath, waiting for the time of

(40:00):
the games to come out. Yeah, it really doesn't make
much of an impact for us for football, because we
can make any time work. In football, noon, we can
do breakfast, and then we can do a postgame three
point thirty. I love because we get both seven o'clock,
you can do a lead up. But in basketball, the
time of the game is a massive financial difference, and

(40:21):
we have no control. A nine to thirty road game
in basketball is not even in Like for us, we've
just lost the night, like I would rather not. I Mean,
when I see a nine to thirty road game in basketball,
I'm like, because that just means we're gonna get nothing
that night, right Exactly, A seven o'clock road game, we

(40:42):
can make that work. But a nine to thirty road
game for us or a nine to fifty, it's just death.
And so like, now imagine that time's twenty and that's
what it's like for them, for the Oaks.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
And you know, it's such a powerful tool, the derby
and the horse racing and Oaks, but they forget about
the people that live there in that town. That's who, Matt,
why they made it this special. Well, the people they
are forgetting to, you know, can't consider them when they
make these decisions.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
Yeah, Mike, go ahead.

Speaker 9 (41:04):
Mike, Yeah, Mats just talking about being in New York
Black Page and shooting at eighty eight on the one
of the hardest courses ever.

Speaker 10 (41:13):
And of course the.

Speaker 9 (41:15):
Guys remember this, but you forgot to mention you took
a muggin on the first hoe.

Speaker 4 (41:19):
It was just one mulligan. It was one Mulligan. And
then I didn't take listen. I freely acknowledge, Mike, I
don't play the cleanest rounds of golf always. That was
the cleanest round. O. God, shut up, Mike. I appreciate
the call that there was just one drove after that.
Was it on the tee or on the team? Okay,
that's a breakfast ball. It was on the tee, and

(41:40):
then I didn't. I didn't. I was in the zone.
I wasn't playing the tips. I was playing though the
next ones, whatever you call those blues over seven thousand yards.
I know I was there, and it's the best round
of golf I've ever played an eighty eight on a
championship course from the back, playing everything, and all mulligans
aren't the same.

Speaker 6 (41:59):
I think you can get one off the tee your
first swing of the day if you didn't warm up.
Now if you're hitting the water from the fairway.

Speaker 4 (42:06):
But I didn't do that. Here stock to Mortgage, tell
me about.
