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

Speaker 4 (01:06):
I remember two Kentucky Sports Radio A couple of the
lines eight. I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
A lot of stuff I want to get through here
in this segment. Let's start with this.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
First of all, prayers to our longtime listener and one
of our caller that everybody knows on the show, Uh,
Marcia uh Poe. Her mother passed away last night. You
all have heard her over the years, probably uh if
she hasn't attended more remotes than anyone. She's in the
top three of all time. And her her mom passed away,

(01:39):
and so our prayers Ryan are with her, her family
and uh everyone. She her mother and mom had been
to our shows before.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, she's brought her mom to several of our shows.
And you know, people like Marsha have become you know,
friends and then become part of our family. We feel like,
you know, they were a big, big blue nation ks
our family. So it broke my heart. I know Marsha
was going through this with her mom, but I was.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
In my room and I noted she Marcia, and think
about this from it over two years of our old
summer tour that we would do. She would make a
folk She would take photos at all the stops she
went to and make a photo album for me. And
I have those from like two different summer tours and
you look back and that's so those are such great memory,
some of them like ten years ago and she did that.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
Yeah, we don't like to play favorites, but Marsha is
one of my favorites.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
Yeah, and no bigger UK fans front row of women's games,
front row of Big Blue Madness. You know Matt at
the parking situation at UK football like like that's and
so her whole family we've gotten to know. And prayers
to all of them in somebody we don't know, but
it is famous probably somebody. I would think that Ryan

(02:46):
at one point in his life had a crush on
Lonnie Anderson passed away.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
W KRP and Cincinnati. We watched it for one reason.
It was because Alannie Anderson was on that show.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
That's the only reason you watched. Yes, it wasn't that
it was a good show. Okay. Married to Burt Reynolds.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
I believe she was at one time.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
Yes, she was like this, you know she was seventy nine.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Well she seventy nine. Wow, she was definitely probably one
of the big sex symbols of the early eighties, late seventies,
early eighties for sure.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
Yeah, it was a little before my time. I kind
of know her through Burt Reynolds and recognize the name
and her picture. But I'm sure, uh, there's Ryan over
here has some some thoughts Angelina Joe Lee.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yeah, yeah, there wouldn't you think.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Definitely know he was the biggest, one of the biggest
male stars and she was one of the hottest stars.
So they were a big power cup on Hollywood UK.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
I want to give a quick update on UK former athletes. Okay,
all right, so we'll start reed. Shephard was named by
h ESPN as the number one second year player to
watch take a leap this year, No kidding, Big gonna
be a big year. Houston's gonna be a playoff contender.
They have Kevin Durant and Houston's coach has said we're

(03:59):
playing and Reid he'd better be ready.

Speaker 6 (04:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (04:02):
Just recently Houston had one open spot. People wondered if
they'd get a guard or something else, and they went
and got a forward, which pretty much solidified Reid is
you know, you have a big role on this team
or count on you to keep it at the level
we're at, maybe even better with Big Katie coming in.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Sidney McLaughlin and Makay Russell to uh, former Kentucky hurdlers
both won their their events in the World Championships. Sidney
has now moved to it. She wins the hurdles by
so much now she just runs the regular four hundred
wins that too.

Speaker 7 (04:31):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
But to still the former track cats out here winning
gold medals won the World Championship.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
We look back twenty years from now, she may be
the most decorated athlete haven't come out of this school,
you know, with all.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
Our I think maybe she already is.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
I think so too, right.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
I think if you're if you're saying, what former Kentucky
athlete is the best at the sport they play vis
a v the rest of the world, I mean she's
number one, right, No football player, no basketball player. I
mean maybe.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
She's a world champion.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
Yeah, yeah, I mean she's got She probably is the
best athlete to ever play in any sport.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
I think so too, best of the best at her sport.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Number we will often forget the other Russell because of that.
She gets overshadowed. But then she goes and wins too.
That was a very close, like three people just by
nose and she won.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Well, they became hurdle you for whatever reason. That coach
over there became hurdle you.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
With Florio's dad, that was the reason. Yeah. And then
Dion Walker was named by the Buffalo Bills uh their
main fan site, as the best potential lineman that the
Bills have had at his position in like a decade. Now.
Of course, I mean we thought that too, so like

(05:56):
he's got to actually go and do it. But that's
kind of exciting good to hear that.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
Also good news from the Bills camp is Harrison looks
like he had a bad injury and it being okay,
he's gonna be able to play. Uh, I'm a Titans guy,
but it's gonna be hard not to root for the
Bills with those two on a super Bowl contender.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Davis course playing too. I mean, that's gonna be a
super Bowl contending team and they're gonna have three of
our guys playing big minutes while they're there.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
I hope for Dion Walker's sake, he looks in the
mirror and understands that he's got a chance to do
this because I think he lost his focus and lost
his drive and he's passion here at Kentucky. So maybe
he can get that back and be a star. We
all think he could be.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
At the bills starting tomorrow, they're on Hard Knocks, and
those two Harrison and Hopey, I assume heavily featured as
two of their best Tomorrow Night's Bill's bills here on there.
Also tomorrow is the SEC documentary our documentaries that was
I don't want to think about it.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
So a lot of first episode apparently is about us
in a bad way.

Speaker 8 (06:54):
Is it like after a loss or something?

Speaker 4 (06:56):
After the South Carolina game, that's the first episode. I
think that I've heard that. Now maybe it's not, but
like I've heard, the first episode is a lot of
us getting beat. And you know a lot of people
watch those shows and they'll only get through an episode.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah, that's the thing.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Like when you're the team they're tracking and you allow
them to bring in those cameras, you better win that
game otherwise it's gonna have a negative outlook on So.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
We might get some good UK football stuff with the
Hard Knocks And then at the exact same time get
some negative UK stuff with the SEC show.

Speaker 5 (07:31):
Hopefully, because Kentucky's season last year was so insignificant, they
just blow right over it and go focus on Texas
all the other ones because it was such a bad year.
But in the trailer, well, Danes like sitting on a porch,
so it looks like Dane's gonna be featured in a
little bit. Dean Walker's dripping out around town.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Yeah, they in the in the trailer, they've got Dane
and Dion a lot, well a lot, I mean they're
in the trailer.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
I will definitely watch it, and I hope it pisses
off this UK football team this year.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Why do we need to cut this is a radisho.
Why do you have to use salty language on the air.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Because it's football and it's football season?

Speaker 4 (08:07):
I understand, but we there are rules of society. Don't
get me called in the office. Already got called in
the office because of another die tribe, oh a couple
of weeks ago. I don't need to get called into
the office again. Because you can't have a potty mouth.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
You can say it the P word that way, you
can't say the way.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
How do you know.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
That's the FCC rule.

Speaker 8 (08:30):
Yeah, we take these tests every year. Don't you take
that one?

Speaker 4 (08:32):
I mean I've seen it. I don't remember, no, I
take it, but I don't remember that word being on
the test. But all right, So you remember the caller
a few a couple of weeks ago who called in
and was like, I want to use this show to
get someone to buy my printer. Yes, you remember that.

(08:53):
He was like, uh, I called Long john Silver and
I tried to sell them a print and they wouldn't
buy or they haven't gotten back with me. So I'm
on here saying, hey, Long John's by my print. I
remember that guy?

Speaker 5 (09:08):
Yeah, very well.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
Yeah, and then he called again twice in one show
to try to get Long john Silver's to buy a printer.
Now Long John's is going through. I mean, this is
if you are a Long John's person, this is as
good as it gets. Like, this is your renaissance, renaissance.
I mean, Nicholsonville breaks the record for most money in
Along John's. When I was in Middlesbrough, they have a

(09:31):
Long John's now, I know they used to. I thought
it closed. It's back and it has a new facade,
like new building. So Long John's on it. So this
guy was like, hey, let me sell you the printer. Well,
I noticed on LinkedIn the CEO or I say CEO,
But the head of Long John's whatever his job title is,
goes on LinkedIn and basically writes, let me tell you

(09:52):
a story about business. And it's he's, you know, like CEOs,
he's a little full of himself, like, dude, come on,
no one needs to read all this, just make the fish.
But he writes this long thing about how you know
I met with this person a year ago and I
thought about buying their things, and he was like, persistence

(10:13):
pays off, but don't turn persistence into annoyance. And he's like,
this man called a local radio show. Hey, Long John's
didn't even mention the show. Come on, don't get too
big for your britches, fish fish boy, all right, he uh, you.

Speaker 5 (10:31):
Can mention that he saw the post already he could.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Mention the show and basically saying, because this guy called in,
I'll never buy his printer. Ah, what do you think
of that?

Speaker 2 (10:44):
I think he's, uh, he's maybe missing a chance out
on a great printer. Is maybe the best printer ever made.
So that's how you read the situation. Huh, he might
be missing a heck of a printer. Could be Yeah,
I saw the LinkedIn post.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
What are they even printing out the documents?

Speaker 5 (10:59):
The men?

Speaker 8 (11:00):
He's like, what are they printing on this printer?

Speaker 3 (11:01):
What?

Speaker 8 (11:01):
What's so great about this?

Speaker 9 (11:02):
True?

Speaker 6 (11:03):
I don't know that.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
There's a whole lot you have to print.

Speaker 8 (11:06):
That's what they do company.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
Well, But so the guy who called in ended up
not only not getting the sale, he is now ended
up saying basically saying, you will never have your printers
sold here at long John the post side. Are you
on are you on Laungeohns CEO side, or are you
on caller side?

Speaker 5 (11:28):
I'm on the ceo. Even though his post was a
little too like LinkedIn buzzworthy for me, it was like,
let me tell you how not to do this, and
he tried to flip it into like how to create
a sale.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
He's trying to teach the fifty ways to sell printers
to fish company.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
If I'm in his shoes and someone's calling in the
radio shows calling me out for not answering the phone,
I'm like him, not answering that phone.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Okay, what about you, I'm on the collar side. He's
a hustler. He's a salesman. He's trying to make a sale.
Drew said, the CEO guys talking down to him. You know,
you don't talk down to people like that. Gonna come
back to bite you in a booty one day.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Whose side is there anything more annoying than a really
push he sells person.

Speaker 8 (12:08):
I don't think there is. I'm on the CEO side.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
You don't call a local radio show or our shows
not local. We're all over the place, by the way,
we're not local.

Speaker 8 (12:17):
Don't call us over a radio show. You don't call
a radio show to air out your dirty.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Laundry because of a business transaction that didn't work out
of your favorite Yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
You certainly wouldn't go on a radio show and say
you got upset at a restaurant for not being as
good and then go on and talk about you that. No,
all right, But I was against the caller because he
called twice huh and was not on topic. But the
CEO has now flipped me back to the call. Yeah.

(12:44):
I didn't like his post. First of all. I didn't
like that he didn't say our name. But that's not
the biggest thing. You were using this as a lesson,
and I didn't like his hoity toity. I didn't like
that he was like talking down to the guy and
trying to act like he was Dude, you if nothing else,

(13:04):
you got free publicity from the guy. True, he's we
were talking about long John's and you're gonna I mean,
if you don't want to buy his printer, I don't
cam with Shannon. How many printers does Long John Silver
park like this? I don't understand the whole story, Like,
how many printers could Long John Silver's possibly bop? I

(13:28):
mean seriously, I got called and acted like he was
about to make the biggest sale in the world. Huh.

Speaker 5 (13:35):
I feel like fifty dollars at Walmart could get long
John Silver as the printer they need.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
Yeah, I mean that's another thing. Can he not just
go and get his own price? He needs you to
get the printer. With that said, I didn't like the
way the CEO talked to it. I didn't either, So
now I'm back on the sales guy side. So we're
split two to two on this.

Speaker 5 (13:52):
It did read like CEO g went to chat GBT
and said, make the most business nerdy message.

Speaker 4 (13:59):
I hate when people you his words like management and effectiveness,
and it's like, just speak like a human being, you know. Yeah,
so I'm now back on the collar side, although if
he calls twice again, then I'm back on the CEO side.

Speaker 5 (14:13):
Persistence is powerful, tactics priceless.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
So do you have the thing?

Speaker 5 (14:17):
Okay, read a little bit. Would you like to know
the first sentence? Yes, there's a thin line between tenacity
and tect.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
That sentence right there tells me I don't like you.

Speaker 5 (14:25):
I get it. Cold outreaches part of the game. But
last week of sales, tectic caught me off guard, not
in a good way.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
I hate to do that to him.

Speaker 5 (14:34):
Wait, now that I'm looking at closely, why did local
radio show is italicized and nothing else is?

Speaker 4 (14:40):
If you're gonna talisize it, name it. Yeah, Like the
whole point of italics is the name. You would not
talisize the phrase local radio way to hang on? You
think maybe he was supposed to insert the name and
he took it chat GPT and that's what he was
supposed to do.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
Yeah, yeah, Well it says uh he live listener used
his airtime to name drop me, not rudely, but clearly
as a way to say I've been trying to get
in touch with you. I was floored.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
He was floored.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
Well, we've created LinkedIn drama.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
I I will say buy the man just by stupid printer.
I'll buys printer, I ship it to laun jobs. Could
printer even be local?

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Guy?

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Support your local business.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
Tell me about mortgage.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Stockton Mortgage is a local business. They're all across the state.
They're even new business outside of state. They're growing. They
got Stockton offices all over the place. I passed one
in Georgetown almost every day. So when you have time
to maybe buy that new house, maybe do a cash
out refinance, maybe to do or just a refinance on
your house. You know the rate are still kind of high,
but maybe you've got one of those ridiculous hidle at
rates from like the seventies. Go ahead and do it,
get it to get it done with Stockton Mortgage. They'll

(15:46):
get you to the closing table. And that's what it's
all about. So Stockton Mortgage NML has eight two five
nine equal housing.

Speaker 8 (15:50):
Loans, doesn't pay their mortgage off since the seventies. That
would be like a fifty.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Year loan financing away. Way you're gonna have some interest
rates to deal with. We'll be right back. What is this.
I've never heard this, but it sounds awful? Do you okay?

(16:14):
Turned up? Oh my goodness, I mean this is so terrible,
he said. My my, I'm a little more My collar
is a little more blue. My truck is bigger than
your truck, smaller than your This is the most small
blank energy you could have in a song. Seriously, if

(16:40):
you're just like my, my muscles are bigger than your muscles.
It's like, dude, you know I just live hardy. Isn't
he also like a goober? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (16:54):
I saw him live in concert unfortunately. Yeah, he was
all big on America. He's throwing beers and I'm more pat.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
I got a bigger buck and bass on my wall,
he says, he's got more.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
That's good for you. Go'm glad you got all that
spit in your chaw. Eighty seven. One person writes, mad,
I love you, but just because you doesn't don't like
a song doesn't mean it's not good. Yes, it does
what it does to you it does to me, which
is which is what this is. I mean, if if
the standard is somebody likes it, so I can't criticize it.

(17:31):
Then we wouldn't be able to criticize anything.

Speaker 6 (17:33):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (17:34):
In this room, on this show, it's four oh, terrible.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
Song, terrible song, terrible. Apparently people are saying the printer
he wanted to sell is the thing that prince receipts.

Speaker 8 (17:42):
Oh ah, that makes sense.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Like when you order, yeah, and so then it comes up,
got you? So I guess special receipts. They're digital now
they're new Roley print receipts. I got screens for that now,
Oh you don't.

Speaker 5 (17:53):
I mean I don't know that, but I hate print receipts.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
Receipts to me, especially especially that's one thing when you're
in a nice restaurant, But receipts at McDonald's it's like,
I don't what am I going to do with this?

Speaker 8 (18:08):
I love keeping receipts.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
What do you keep them?

Speaker 8 (18:10):
I've got one on you with your big Bruce.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
But but I understand what you're saying. Let's do I
want to do this?

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Ye?

Speaker 4 (18:21):
No, I want to go to Bill. Go ahead, bit
come on.

Speaker 10 (18:26):
Oh that's that's a good Uh. Speaking of two things
UK football, I think the quiet confidence that I'm seeing
in stoops, I like it. I think they're going to
get back to some blue collar ball, and I think
while the results on the field this year with the
schedule may not be higher than normal, I think the
quality of the play and the fire and the players

(18:46):
is going to be better to watch. So I'm looking
forward to that. I can't wait for three weeks to
get here. And then second on that.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
Point, I'll let you make your second point. But on
that point, there's nothing worse than watching a bad team
Ryan that's also undisciplined, because it's like it's one thing.
Like with this Reds team this year, part of what
I've enjoyed is while they have many deficiencies, I always
feel like they're given their all and they make stupid
mistakes and it drives me crazy. But they're likable and

(19:14):
it feels like they like their manager. They're doing they're
trying really hard and doing the best they can, Like
Ricky Steamboat last year. When you watch a team stink
and then they have those discipline issues, that's a terrible cost.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Stink. You see some of your star players taking plays off. Man,
that does affect everybody.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
That does affect you.

Speaker 10 (19:30):
Go ahead, sir, Yeah, that's a bad product to watch.
But last point is, you know, with the donkey donk
and a couple of the points you've made on the
episode or the show today is that you gotta remember
and this this fat is irrefutable. Half of America has
below average intelligence.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
Well, that's true, and I freely acknowledge that on most
of these issues, I'm not in the majority. You know,
people will write me sometimes when I express an opinion
online that they don't like, and they'll go, Matt, most
of your listeners don't agree with you, Okay, But does
that mean I don't get to have the opinion? Yeah, right, Like,

(20:08):
I actually think the easiest thing in the world to
do is to give the opinion that everyone else has.
It's much more interesting to hear someone who has faaried opinions, right.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
And I think that's one reason why this show works.
People may not agree with your decisions, but they like
to listen to the show for the topics and the
conversation that we have about these things.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
I heard Dave Portnoy once he was talking about Clay Travis,
and they said why don't you like him? Because they
were like, you all have the same views, and he
was like, because he's boring, he said, take any issue,
and I know exactly what he's going to say, right,
So the same thing is true. Like in politics. Now
there are people that I don't care what Trump does,

(20:54):
They'll defend it. And there's people that I don't care
what he does, they'll criticize it. Those people aren't interesting.
Interesting is something happens and then you go, oh, I
wonder what this person's take will be on it. And
so you know with QK sports there are people who
and I there's they're nice people, but they're they're going

(21:15):
to parrot the Kentucky Company line no matter what. How
is that interesting?

Speaker 5 (21:22):
And uh, this is a big world with a lot
of us. If we all believe the same things and
like the same things to be boring place, we're all different.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
But with all that said, no one should like that.

Speaker 5 (21:30):
I agree with that the world should unite.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
More, but doncs that is the one thing I think
that I think everyone should agree. All right, Fine, Chinn
in Kentucky.

Speaker 8 (21:39):
Joe, Joe, pick up.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
Joe. I knew it. This is what this is what
I get for even trying. Matt, Go ahead, Matt, Hi, guys,
what's going on?

Speaker 6 (21:58):
I'm just seeing out in my guarding in the day. Shine.
Just finished my meditation enjoying the nature and being thankful,
had a couple of corn bread hemp gummies and I
got two thirds for you.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
Okay, all right.

Speaker 6 (22:13):
The first thing I gotta know more about this Courtney
Cox house visit, Like, did you, like, you know, throw
a little game to Courtney Cox? Did you take the
opportunity to throw you didn't?

Speaker 4 (22:26):
Yeah, I mean what you're talking about For people who
don't know Josh Hopkins and I talked about the Courtney
Cox visit to her house. It was it was amazing.
She's got the best house I've ever been to. But
it was also her birthday party and I didn't know
her and it was her closest friends. That probably wasn't
the time map for me to try to make a move,

(22:47):
not that it would have been successful.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
I got you, I got you.

Speaker 6 (22:51):
I understand that, but I had an I just I mean,
that had been awesome.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
It was it was whether it was it was awesome,
You're exactly right.

Speaker 6 (23:01):
Okay. Have you ever heard of the Portland Pickles baseball
team in the West Coast Premier League.

Speaker 5 (23:08):
I saw this. I know what you're talking about. The Pickles.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
What did they do?

Speaker 6 (23:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (23:13):
Click, what did they do?

Speaker 6 (23:15):
Well? Okay, real quick, they had a thing where they
picked a random person in the in the stadium to
come and hit, and a legit hit and he got
a hit, and then gave him another chance and he
hit a homer. And now they gave him a one
day contract.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Yeah, I saw it. That's awesome. Appreciate TJ.

Speaker 8 (23:33):
Smith, Personal injury Attorney, TJ. He'll make them pay now.

More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

Speaker 8 (23:40):
Here's Matt Joe.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
I mean this might be the worst example. Like this
is maybe even worse, worse than truck. Yeah, because he
like takes shift and like makes it go a long time.

Speaker 8 (23:52):
Yeah, this is Kenny and this.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
Is Kenny Chess to do this.

Speaker 8 (23:56):
Kenny Chess went straight too.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
Wait a minute, this no, it's not.

Speaker 8 (24:01):
It's with George Straight.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
Is he does he need money?

Speaker 8 (24:05):
I don't know. I'm just saying this was this was
fifteen years ago.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
That disappoints me with George Straight. He's too good for this.
One person writes, Matt, would you consider Achy Breaky Heart
one of those? Well, it's stupid, but it is great
and it was his first song. So he's trying to
make it. I have a little bit more sympathy for that,
but it is stupid.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
One of your go to karaoke songs.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
I do like it, though, good song it is. I
don't know why I think that's different, but I do
think it's different. Do you what does it? You can
tell my arms to go back to the farm, he says.
You can tell your ma, who lives in Arkansas, wow,
dog to my leg. Yeah. You know they were writing that.
They were like, all right, we wanted to say something

(24:53):
about his ma. What's what rhymes with it?

Speaker 11 (24:58):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (24:59):
Are in Saul?

Speaker 8 (25:01):
Yeah, that's brilliant.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Let it down.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
She could have done it with other states, though, or
you can come get lucky with me in Kentucky. He
could have done like much he should have done when
he went on tour, saying each version wherever he.

Speaker 5 (25:15):
Was, or tell your aunt Louise, tell anything you please.
I think, I say, this is a great song.

Speaker 8 (25:21):
Yeah write that. Who wrote that song? He may not have.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
I mean, it wouldn't have been him. I wouldn't have
think if I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven,
by the way, all week long from ten to two,
so from ten in the morning two in the afternoon.
We are interviewing at ks Bar for positions. We did
a bunch on Friday, but Monday through Friday this week

(25:45):
ten to two just being a server, a cook or
whatever we are. We're fulfilling the positions this week. So
if you're if you're interested, they'll just you just have
to go there from ten to two or if you call,
I'm sure they will and a way to set up
another time for you.

Speaker 5 (26:03):
Fun time ahead football season, good chance to make some money.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
We did our wings thing. It was good because we
first of all, it is so nice to have people
make the trip and come sure like they were for everywhere. Yep,
had about you know, eighty people. We left it as
a small group. Everybody was very excited. It was fun.
It was good because we tested something and we were like,

(26:27):
that doesn't work. We're not going to do that, huh,
And so that's good to know. And we our wedges
are really good, the new ones. Yes, And we decided
we tested like a new kind of wing and we said,
you know what, we liked the other one better. The
other one was good. We were going to try to
have two different kinds and now we're just gonna go
with the one that we have.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
So it was kind of cool. We saw some, you know,
of our regulars, like you said, like some new people
that drove.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
There were a group of people there that had never
been there.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah, try to.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
It was kind of story. They had a daughter who
really wanted to come. She was like fifteen and she came,
and they came the day we closed. Oh no, I
didn't know that part of the story driven from like Louisville,
and they came the day we closed, and so I said, well,
I'm glad you came back. And that was very nice
of them.

Speaker 5 (27:11):
So it was fun getting in there and just being
in the bar again with people. You should have seen
these dudes. They were working. They put Ryan and Drew
and I'd be to work. I was kind of on
the microphone talking and these these people were.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Working well experience I believe. I don't think Ryan does
it serving, but.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
You could tell Ryan struggled carrying the plates there.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
If I weren't at the Reds game, I hope they
didn't want to carry too many be follow the floor.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
As a former server, it kind of took me back.
I was enjoying checking on my tables, running food, pre busting,
getting drinks. It took me back to Ma Malone's days.

Speaker 8 (27:44):
I was the worst server ever. I worked it out
back that for like two months, and oh really I
could not not for.

Speaker 4 (27:49):
Me, didn't know how to do the blooming onion.

Speaker 8 (27:52):
I took it. I just couldn't.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
I wouldn't have been a good server because I would
have smarted back at people, like if they were rude
to me. Tis, yes, up a few instances, Oh I'm sure. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (28:04):
I had a guy yelling at me some water got
spilt on his three hundred dollars shoes. He said they
were three hundred dollars. It was water, and I kind
of was like, all right, man, let's calm down. So
I got a manager. She comped appetizer and he wanted
his whole bill comped. And that's when he's like, these
are three hundred dollars and his bill was one fifty.
And I said, you could give me one of those shoes.
And I got a week suspension.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
Did you really?

Speaker 5 (28:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (28:23):
You said you had to hit him with it.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
He was he was being a jerk. It was a
little bit of water, and I was like, we'll give
me one of those shoes.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
I like to give shout outs to local people who
do well. Let's start with the Lexington, Kentucky Lexington Eastern
Little League team. They won last night in their their
regional game on a walk off hit. Nice you can
see it. I tweeted out the picture. They had a
walk off hit right at the end, won the game.
They now moved to the next round. So congrats to

(28:50):
Eastern Lexington Little League as they tried to go to
the Little League World World Series. You probably don't know
who mac Meller is, do you do not? Mac Mell
is the world champion of Scrabble and he lives in Lexington,
really and he is defending his Scrabble World championship this week.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Nice, we gotta get on board here.

Speaker 4 (29:14):
I think we have an advantage in Scrabble since we
speak English and the game is in English. So I
think a lot of those other countries that don't speak
English is their primary language, we probably haven't avantaged. But
I'm not trying to discount mac Miller, so good luck
to him, which made me think of you know, I
think I said this the other day. I don't think

(29:36):
people realize how big a community here in Lexington. They
have of people who like to play these games like
with the cards and the dragons and the tiles and
all this stuff. That place it's close to ks Bar.
You know what I'm talking aboutaotic it's called like chaotic nerds,

(29:59):
and they're they're there, and I'm not first of all,
I'm not disparaging these people. I have walked that's on
my walk now. I've walked by there all times of night,
every night, and there are people there all the time.

Speaker 7 (30:15):
Yesterday I walked by it like six o'clock and it
was there were I don't know, I mean, tables are
in there, thirty all of them were filled with people.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Going, you've got my dragon, You've got you. But they
seem like they're happy, sure, and obviously a social community there. Yes,
I made us walk in one day and say teach
me how to play the Wizards or whatever. But it's
always full. I had no idea that was as big
as it is.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
I'm like, you drive by it all the time. I
don't know what they're doing, maybe uh, magic gathering, Pokemon,
I don't know. I don't know what the games are,
but it is one of the more crowded places and leasing.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Everywhere in there. And it's when I was there once
on a Sunday night at like eleven thirty walking by
it where there were people in there.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Then they had the gaming convention every year out there
at the Clarion and it is massive. It is Hey, Kentucky,
you guys sent me here that one time. Just thousands
of games and thousands of people sitting around playing.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
These That's a business that I think the city could
use more of our places for people to go everywhere
preture of my.

Speaker 8 (31:23):
Famie ks bar game.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
Maybe we'll have day night. That's all right, let's go
to Kyle.

Speaker 9 (31:30):
Go ahead, Kyle, Hey, Matt, listen to you and Shannon
uh do almost be talked about it yet? What are
your thoughts on the most important sporting events of this
past weekend SummerSlam.

Speaker 8 (31:44):
Didn't watch it.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
I watched it. I appreciate the call. First of all,
shot here are my takeaway shocked at how good or
what not? How good? But how well they did the
match with Jelly Roll. When I heard jelly Row was wrestling,
I was like, well, that will be a disaster. But
all they did was just beat him up.

Speaker 8 (32:03):
And that's good.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
But it ended up looking good Jelly Roll give him credit. Yeah,
I thought he did a good job. So that was
kind of good. John Cena and had a good, good match.
They brought brock Lesner back, who I thought would never
be back because I guess everyone, but he was part
of that whole Vince McMahon thing, wasn't he accusations there?

(32:26):
So I don't know how they got around that. But overall,
it's too much. I don't know why they feel like
they need nine hours of it now.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
I thought, okay wrote WrestleMania, you get two nights whatever,
But Summer Slam now they're doing two nights for that.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
Too much, too much rest. I mean, that's that's too
much wrestling. But I did watch some of it and
I thought it was It was fine. I liked watching
Gunther and whoever uh see him punk? That was good.
I enjoyed it. But it was too long and that
was Shinnon. It was swearing me and you went to WrestleMania.
It was out at the Metal Lands were Yeah, that

(33:00):
was it was in the same place and that was yeah.

Speaker 8 (33:03):
Trying to get back.

Speaker 5 (33:04):
I'm gonna watch Sunday's replay today. I watched a little
bit of Saturday I don't get into current wrestling anymore,
but the WrestleMania is Royal rumbles, summer slams. I'll turn
on just for the entertaining.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
The thing that's infuriating is that Logan or is it
Jake Paul. Jake Paul is actually really good at and
like you don't want to lie, You want to think,
why is he doing it? But he's actually really and
he's he basically carried jelly.

Speaker 5 (33:24):
Rolls what frog splash you did from the turnbuckle all
the way to the announced table.

Speaker 8 (33:28):
He's really good, right, isn't either wrestler or Jake Paul's though, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:34):
Yeah, see I was think it was rand Paul. But
whichever way, so he hit his neighbor. By the way,
I'm going to do corn bred hemp. Shout out to

like speakeasy cornbreadhamp thing, didn't you.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
It was the coolest thing I've been to in a
long time. It's like an underground bunker in Loibile that
I didn't even know existed. They just take you over
on a trolley, drop you off and there's an underground bunk.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
There's an underground bunker.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Yeah, cobblestone like the entire thing was all called.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
And it doesn't have like a you don't know, it
doesn't have like a sign. No.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
No, it's just like a stone wall and then a
door on the side of a street and they've made
it into a speakeasy.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Well, well it was just a one night only thing,
you know, so you could actually drink a THHC selter
in a social setting.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
Well they have they have those speakeasies now, like that's
that's the big thing. They got it. They got like
four of a in Lexington. I'm not even talking about
those bars that we've talked about, the little clubs that
ride's and they have bars here. We have to go
in and be like you know, hammer Frank, but dunk
and dunk and then then they open the door and
you can walk in, don't I don't get I don't

(35:16):
know how. No, I don't get invited any of them,
so I don't know where they are. I just hear
about them.

Speaker 5 (35:20):
I went to one about a year ago when it
first opened, and I'm in. They're taking pictures because it
is cool, and the bartenders like, don't post these please,
we're trying to keep What is.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
The point of that, by the way, what's what's the
point of having a bar that like no one knows?

Speaker 5 (35:32):
Isn't the novelty of it? Like you walk in and
you pull a book in the bookshelf turns and the
bar is very nice and the cocktails are good, but
pull a book and the book, Yeah, you go in
behind the bookshelf. That's pretty cool. They're everywhere in New York.
But in New York it's to keep people out. I
just would think in Lexington, like the drinks are very good,
Like it's you know craft.

Speaker 4 (35:51):
Is there a name of one here?

Speaker 5 (35:53):
It's a speakeasy. You gotta find it on your own.

Speaker 8 (35:55):
There's one constitution.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
What's the name of it?

Speaker 8 (35:58):
Hell or hot water?

Speaker 5 (36:00):
Hell or high water?

Speaker 4 (36:01):
Uh huh, okay, you say the name of the one constitution.
It's good bar.

Speaker 5 (36:05):
Check it out? Where is it close to trainsy downtown?
But you can't tell me where it is? See, I mean,
I don't know the exact treat, to be honest, but
that's what it's called. I mean, if you google it, you.

Speaker 8 (36:14):
Can find it next to the Young Center.

Speaker 4 (36:16):
Yeah, I've seen that.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
I know.

Speaker 4 (36:17):
We're talking about checkout twenty two eighty seven. We'll take
a break right back. It's ksorry. Oh my goodness, who is.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
This Blake Shelton?

(37:22):
I saw your tweet last night about Sidney Sweeney. I
can't believe you're not upset about what happened. All your
people are. I have no idea. You talk about a
controversy that just I don't get the Sydney Sweeney like
jeans thing.

Speaker 5 (37:39):
It's good.

Speaker 4 (37:39):
First of all, I refuse to believe anybody's even upset.
This is a perfect example. I wish all people would
understand how we are all being manipulated to hate each other.
The Sidney Sweeney thing is the best example. There was
an ad with her in jeans right, and it said
she has good and then all of a sudden there

(38:02):
were all these stories about how people were upset about
the ad. So I Billy did it on the news,
and so I was like, well, who's upset? And I
couldn't find anyone upset, And the story about people being
upset was just random people on the internet, a handful
of people being upset, and then everyone's arguing about it.
And when you try to find who are the core

(38:22):
people that were upset, I can't find them. And so
clearly the handful of human beings random people that were
upset got amplified so we could all yell at each other.
And I'm this annoys me to no end. They do
this over and over to get us to all hate
each other so we're not paying attention while the rich

(38:42):
people take over the world. I'm you think I'm kidding,
I'm dead serious. They want us to argue about doctor
Seuss in, Sydney Sweeney and all this nonsense so then
they can pass tax cuts, so they have all the
money in the world create AI so there are no
more jobs. And we're sitting here yelling at each other
about Sidney sweet.

Speaker 5 (39:03):
I can't imagine caring about an American eagle head.

Speaker 4 (39:05):
I didn't whatever it is.

Speaker 5 (39:06):
Did you even know, whatever your life is, how could
you possibly care about American.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
Did you know American eagle existed?

Speaker 8 (39:13):
Whenever I go to a mall, I'll see it there,
But I don't, I mean ever now and then?

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Will you?

Speaker 4 (39:18):
Okay, I didn't know. I swear to you, I didn't
know exists.

Speaker 8 (39:22):
By the way, don't shop there.

Speaker 4 (39:24):
It's not going to change my view of Sidney Sweeney,
which is I'm a fan and I wish her the best.

Speaker 5 (39:29):
And it's good wordplay, good d good jeans, get it
jeans jeans.

Speaker 4 (39:34):
People are gonna have good genes.

Speaker 5 (39:36):
But if that affected you in any way, I don't.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
Think it did affect anybody. I think people just I don't.
First of all, I don't think people did show me
a person in your life who was angry.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
Well, conspiracy theorists might say maybe it was American eagle
kind of promoting that to give more publicity for their genes.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
Shocked me at all would make sense, would be smart.
So uh I that's one of the stories that I've
learned to sniff out and go are are you people
being serious? Ashley? Go ahead, Ashley, Hi, guys, what's up.

Speaker 11 (40:10):
I've been listening forever, but Shannon's never answered my call,
So thank you I have.

Speaker 4 (40:16):
That's good. Shannon finally decided to He finally approved you.

Speaker 11 (40:21):
I know, thank you, Shannon, You're welcome. I love the show.
It got us through a really hard year last year.
And I met Sean Woods at one of your remotes
and that was like amazing, awesome. My first question is
are you all going to go to Bourbon and Beyond
and see fish and two? What's going to be the
best game of the season, because I want tickets for

(40:43):
my birthday.

Speaker 4 (40:44):
Yeah. So I'll be in South Africa. I would love
to go. Yeah, Shannon'll be there. It's a great lineup.
I would love to go, but I will be in
South Africa, so I can't go. Appreciate the cause far
his best game, I mean, best home game this year, Florida.

Speaker 5 (41:05):
Floorda's good. I just it could all fall apart before
you get to any I say, oh, I thought we
were talking about basketball. Yeah, basketball, mm hmm. Florida been national.

Speaker 4 (41:16):
I think Florida is probably the one because our I
mean Indiana.

Speaker 5 (41:20):
Yeah, if you care about Indiana, maybe because it's been
so long.

Speaker 4 (41:23):
Well, North Carolina.

Speaker 5 (41:25):
Still Florida's defending champion. Your number one competition in Florida.
Florida is the one this year.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
If you were gonna pick one, I think it's overwhelming
the number one choice, because that's why I'm gonna say
they've got a lot of people back from their.

Speaker 4 (41:37):
Rank them Florida. I'd put North Carolina second. It's just
gonna be earlier in the year and exciting. Probably the
best first be the first really good home crowd of
the season.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
So uh, I'd probably do that is Indiana and your
conversation at all, No, I don't care.

Speaker 5 (41:56):
Are they even gonna be good?

Speaker 4 (41:57):
Yeah? I mean I know you're gonna care because it's
the first time been here in a while, but I
really don't care.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
I'm probably more excited about that game than the North
Carolina game, because.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
I mean, are they I don't know, are they even
supposed to be decent?

Speaker 5 (42:08):
It's hard to tell because last year they spent as
much as anyone. They're supposed to be good and then
they sucked again. So I think, well, they do have
that kid that we wanted, Will Kerson.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
They got a new coach, who's the.

Speaker 5 (42:20):
You don't know who their coach, Deviride does? Does yours?
Oh the dude from west in West Virginia?

Speaker 4 (42:27):
Yeah, what are you gonna do? Are you gonna say
to that kid, thanks for embarrassing me?

Speaker 2 (42:32):
Well, kid, you're talking about the kid that.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
You said was coming to Kentucky that went.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
To all that guy. I still stand by my information.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
Do you stand by your information? You still think he's coming? No?

Speaker 2 (42:41):
He was that night, that night before he was coming.

Speaker 5 (42:44):
That was a rough day for the KSR brand on
the internet.

Speaker 4 (42:46):
It was you heard us on that very I mean,
I love you, but that was a tough days. You
know what happens. All right, We will see you tomorrow.
