Well, what welcome everyone. It is Kentucky Sports Radio, Monday,

already had heated accusations from uh Saturday night and ready
(01:18):
to go. Guys, it's football week. I'm gonna talk a
lot of football today. Not gonna start with it because
I have some complaints I need to to mention to
the world. But U can you feel the excitement of football?
I can. I'm very excited.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
I know we still have the rest of the week
to get to the game, but game week just feels
completely different. Stoops will talk today. Yeah, we see an
actual depth chart out and holding our hands. Zach Cow's

Speaker 2 (01:44):
It is game week. Even the first Mark Stoops coaches

Speaker 5 (01:49):
Some blue hens. No, it's not they're not blue. What
are they? Rockets?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Rockets?
Speaker 5 (01:54):
That's Delaware. You get some too, Delaware. We should play Delaware.
I ain't worry about either one of you. All right.
So a couple of things. First of all, we had
our ks bar, friends and family opening UH Saturday. A
couple of things. Uh one, Shannon, you told me Ryan
Lemon made a mess of the plus, am I correct
(02:14):
about that? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
So Mario first of all knocked into one of our
servers and knocked sour cream all over the place.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Also Mario started it with a sour cream.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Now, Ryan then tries to be hopeful, gets down and
starts wiping up the sour cream, then stands and then
stands up, turns around and immediately knocks into another server
who's coming with a pint of beer in each hand.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Is spills beer all over the server.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Oh wow, Yeah, so you're the one that spilled all
the beer. I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I heard of comedy.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
I heard that there was beer on servers, and that
was you.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
It was a great bump because all the beer went
on him, not a drop on me, not a drop.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Good And it was probably just starting. It was a
brand new server. Yeah. Well, welcome them to the to
the family. It's a lot of fun. Thank you to
the people listening here who are friends and family who came.
It was exciting. Nice to have had a lot of
legends there. I mean, Drew missed it because he was
on the Bachelor party, but you had Let's just go
through the Kentucky media legends. You had Tom Leech, you
(03:10):
had Terry mynern Miners, Rob Bromley, Rob Bromley, right he
made Jeff Pikoro made an appearance, right Lee Cruz, Mary
Joe used to be Perino now four. Yes, all kinds
of legends.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
The biggest rock star in the whole building was your mom.
People were flocking to go talk to you about.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
People like my mom was just like had a list
just people coming up wanting to meet my mom. There
were some people I know a lot people that were
there were so nice to my parents. Even Larry, like
we had CJ. Cain, who plays with Tyler Childers, like
he travels around the world with Tyler Childers, came up
to talk to Larry about playing the bass, and Larry,
(03:55):
of course no idea who Tyler Childers is, like he's
talking to a shanted Larry's like you're in a band.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
He had no idea who he was, and I wanted
I wanted.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
To be like Larry. He's in like the biggest like country,
like one of the biggest country acts there is. But
for Larry was like, well, I played in the it
was great, was so sweet and CJ was so nice
to him. And like I just I really enjoyed it.
It was good.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Well, I was in an area where I could see
the people go to that table your mom and Larry
were sitting. All your trancy friends went to see him,
All your KSR friends went to see him. All the
people just wanted to meet your mom and talk to her.
She was She had a steady flow of people coming
to talk to her last that night.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
When he started putting Karen on like the social media graphics,
there's no doubt Karen's gonna become like I mean, she's already.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
They're already more popular than me in terms of likability.
They are. There's no doubt about that. And part of
the reason why is what I'm about to do next.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Here we go.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Dun dun dum. All right, I'm gonna say this like
nicely because I don't want to be one of these
like Nimby people. You know what Nimby is like, not
in my neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Okay, I hadn't heard that.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
They put up that park. First of all, extremely nice park.
It's awesome as far as I've heard, no broken legs yet,
although it's coming on that part on that that playground.
People there First of all, you couldn't ask for two
the better days a web right, people everywhere, Like I
(05:30):
think the whole city went to the park at some point,
and it seems to have gotten rave reviews. Have you
heard that.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I drove by Saturday morning and it was a zoo,
so you knew it had to be popular.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
I mean, and I think it's gotten rave fountains and
there's you know, they're they're they're stars and there's just
all kinds of things, right stars. Yeah, like you know
stars when they come down and like it's it's it's
it's it's I feel like the park in terms of
as a park Rave review. With that said, I may
(06:04):
have to have multiple people arrested. It has caused my
street to become mad Max Furios. Okay, the parking situation
down there is an issue now. I mean that's true
for all towntown events, right, but it's especially true for this,
I think because they don't have as many parking lots
(06:25):
open because like it's not an event, you know, So
my street has become just taken over by people trying
to park. Here's the thing, Shannon, you know me, I'm
fine with people. I want them to have fun. I
want them to do whatever. You're very patient on the road.
(06:48):
My street, My street essentially is a two lane street,
but three cars could get through if they need to.
You are allowed to park on one side of the street.
That allows it to still be a two lane street.
Are we following each other?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Ah? You?
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Starting on Saturday, people just decided ignoring the yellow line.
Do people still know what yellow lines mean? To park
on both sides of the street? Now if it's one day,
you know, me laid back, all right, But it's chaos
because then it becomes a one lane street at a
(07:27):
dead end. Now, think about what a one lane street
at a dead end is. You get people going both
ways and there's nowhere for them to go. Yeah, okay,
so you just run into each other, just look at
each other, waiting for each other to move.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Then more cars pile up behind them. And this happens
from nine am till ten pm. Whoa and never stops.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
And oh, by the way, there's a street full of
people that need to get out. Okay. Also, my parents
are there Saturday, so you can imagine them trying to
navigate that. So driving in and out literally is a
war zone. I'm going out with a battle axe. Maybe
not the best thing, trying to get people out of
the way, all right, with your ex So there were
(08:17):
many encounters. I'm gonna give you the most pleasant one.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Okay, the pleasant one.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
The most pleasant one is I go, one person is leaving,
so one parking spot's becoming open now again because it's free.
This is where everybody wants to be because everything else
is charging. Right. This woman, wonderful lady, okay, older black
lady with her sister, and there are maybe three kids
(08:45):
in the in the back. She's driving a mini van.
She's trying to parallel park. Oh, I can tell Shannon,
this person is not a parallel park you know what
I mean. I watch her go up, back, up and
back and up, and I'm like, the restaurant opening is coming.
(09:06):
I gotta go get there. So I get out very patiently.
I say, ma'am, respectfully, would you like me to park
your car? And she said, oh, honey, yes, I don't parallel.
That's what she said, I don't parallel. So I got
in her car. She's in a minivan and she's got
(09:27):
it jacked up to the front. So my knees are
like up on my face, and I get in, and
I like, you know, I do it. I parallel park
the car. Good for you, all right, I get it in.
She as I get out of the car, she looks
at me and she goes, oh, honey, thank the Lord
(09:47):
for men. If it wasn't for men, what will we do?
And then her sister's like, oh, if it wasn't for me,
And I'm like, now I'm almost embarrassed because you know,
I'm like.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
You're the king of all men right now?
Speaker 5 (10:01):
No, no, no, because I'm like you're equal.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
You you're just practicing for your African troops. But you can't.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
You could do this too, right, like we can all
do it, you know. Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
She wasn't feeling it though, Yeah, but she was being
like overly nice.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
But I didn't want to be the only men com
parallel park. That sounds like some rhyme would say, right,
but anyway, Then she she walks out, I'm like, I
have to get out of my car and go. You've
got to back up. If you don't back up, none
of us will get out. I can't do this, true.
So I did the one thing that I've never done
in my life. I called the police, did you? I
(10:40):
called the police, and I said, look, I don't want
anybody told. I don't want anybody like arrested, but y'all
got to do something. You gotta do something about this row.
You got like it's a disaster, and I said, someone's
gonna get in a fight. You have to do something.
(11:00):
They never came that I saw.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
At least turns out they didn't have to do anything else.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
It turns anything and Sunday was a little less chaotic,
but still same issue. They gotta do something right, And
I'm not like, I'm not the kind of person who
goes to this town neighborhood zoning like I don't do that.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
You should, they're fun, but I'm I don't do that.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
But I have registered my complaint privately and now I'm
registered at publicly. If it's like this again, next weekend,
you may be looking at a host who's head explodes.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And it's a shame because it's a beautiful park. It
was a beautiful weekend, all set up to be a
great day for everybody. But there's nothing but you see,
you know where I am, Yes, you see how that
can happen? Oh, absolutely, I can see it. There's nowhere
to go, No you're just stuck. So I mean they're
gonna have to police it. They'nt have to toe people
to police it or something.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I think they have to. Like, I mean, one guy
parked in my driveway. How do you have the audacity
to park in someone's driveway?
Speaker 6 (12:00):
It is a big driveway, but ask true, you don't
know if somebody's coming in or trying to go.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
I mean, like you're gonna have to blot me in.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
So it is pulled up there next to the garage.
Is there a dedicated lot at all yet for the park?
Speaker 5 (12:14):
There is, but there were so many people out there
like I you know, and it's a unique event for
the park. I mean not a big concerts. But it's
not gonna be like that. I keep happening it now
there's a sign that says you cannot park on this
side during rupp Arena events. I think it's just got
to say.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Always put gun out there.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Oh well, my neighbor. You know what my neighbor did.
My neighbor put rocks in front of their driveway and
a sign in the yard said get out. You should
do the same thing.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Why you didn't do the same thing?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Have any rocks?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
But I guess drive down and get in. They need
someplace to turn around.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
The reality is, if they don't have my driveway, I
don't think they could turn around. They'd probably just have
to abandon their cars and leaving that I still couldn't
get out.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Wow, so car graveyard over there it is.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
So anyway, I've registered my complaint to the city the police.
You're right, Channon, I said, they have to do something,
have to do something, and they didn't have to do anything.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Let's get Linda Gorton on it to help.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
You because they didn't do a thing. And what was
I gonna do about it? Like, I mean, there's nothing
I could do about it. So I was like, well,
I you know these conversations like.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
A UK game, there's what twenty home games a year
you're gonna have every weekend.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
They see the sign that says you can't post here
during repperena events, so they don't. But this isn't a arena.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
True for thirty bucks, I can get you a no
parking anytime sign. I'll throw in the thirty bucks to
get you a no parking sign.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Just go out there.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Do I have the ability as a citizen to determine
that a people can't park on a street. I don't
think I have that ability.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I mean, and somebody unless somebody pulls it up.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
The police didn't come, so I guess it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
They're not gonna come yankee.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Or not coming either way out there. Well maybe I should.
You should just hang up my own no parking anytime
sign on the street. You there were some nails sticking
out of it. Put at the end of your driveway.
My poor parents. My mom just here's what my mom did.
She came and just sat at the window like for
an hour and looked outside and goes, this is gonna
be a problem for you. Yeah, yeah, this is gonna
(14:14):
be a pro I was like, Mom, please sit down
like you staring at it is not gonna make it.
She cares. She's been a good mother. If I'm nine
two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, we are gonna
preview UK Toledo the Blue Hens and the Cats playing Saturday.
This is Kazer. It's a good song choice I do
(14:36):
like I do like the park. It's it's beautiful and
there were a million people. Yeah, and we came added
to tray like a lot of good. It's definitely head
to traffic. Believe me, I can tell but uh thing,
it's overall positive thing for the city. Beach boys. Now,
I will tell you I ain't never gonna have to
pay for one concert there.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Shit, that's cool.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Year in my soul, in my restaurant, in my house. Yeah,
in the restroom and then everywhere. But so that's good.
When they start getting good acts, that'll be good. Have
you used the splash pad yet? Will we catch you
out there splash splash pad. I'm not gonna splash pad.
I don't feel the need to pad or splash, but
(15:15):
but it'll be good eight five nine two eight oh
twenty two eighty seven. One person says, Matt, do you
use the same tone with the police that you did
on the radio. No. I was very polite. I didn't
even say my name. I was like, this is the street,
this is the issue. I'm a concerned citizen, I said.
I didn't want to be like you know who you
know I would, I'm just it. I just wanted to say, hey,
(15:36):
this is like something to be aware of. You're just
someone looking out for their community. I did. I do think.
I said you have to come out, and Shannon has
proven that was a complete false.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Don't tell police what they have to do.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
They have to do one thing, and they were fine
with it. UK Toledo twelve forty five on Saturday. Nervous
because I didn't name the starter.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, I like I said, I don't want to be
too overconfident, but I'm not nervous. I feel like that's
this is a game that I think it'll be a
close game, but I think Kentucky's gonna win.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Again.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
They just have better players than Toledo does, so they
should win the game.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
And I'm not nervous at all, even though it is
a very difficult Week one opponent. Uh, Toledo is very
good with you saying all summer we know what Kentucky's
up against. I wouldnt say I'm nevous. I still think
they win, but I think it will be closer than
you want those first non conference games to be.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Are we winning at halftime?
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Yeah, Toledo was up fourteen to seven here about five
years ago.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
I got a little uncomfortable.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
I think it'll be low scoring, probably a boring game,
but Kentucky will be in control.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Isn't just there a stat that like Stoops is really
good about covering, Like his team's cover.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Well kinds a lot, so we cover a lot in losses.
We're one of the best teams in the couch it losses.
That's not what we want Saturday. It would be possible
for us to cover during this game and lose because
we're a favorite. We have struggled in week one, Like
I mean, we've won all the time except his first
(17:06):
year or two, but we've struggled in week one. And
we've had a lot of games where we didn't look
great in week one, and then I think the Toledo
game was the most obvious. We were losing the halftime
came back. But this is a team that over the
years with Stoops, has taken a little while to get
the engine rammed.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Yeah, in the last few years it seems they've gotten
a little bit better about it. Heck, we all remember
the early days, needing a spectacular catch to get ahead
of Eastern Kentucky that one year and you know, have
the Western game.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
To get ahead to win. It was the last drive. Yeah,
so we remember those.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Last year they played Ohio, the MAC team even won
the Mac and Kentucky handled them pretty easily if I recall.
So hopefully it's more like that. But we all have
plenty of memories of when this game has been way
too tight.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Did I see that Toledo came in like sixth last
year in the MAC or fifth? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:51):
They were?
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Why? Why is what is the reason I have not
followed the Toledo off season? What is the reason that
everybody thinks they're going to be so good?
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Well, they went five hundred in the MAC last year,
which didn't great. That's why the middle of the pack.
But outside of the conference games, they beat Pittsburgh and
Mississippi State, they went too and ohero in the Power Four.
And then they bring lots of people back and d
train them. Their coaching staff's been together like a million years.
They're just a program that's continually good. Last year, they
just lost some conference games.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
In their quarterback. Like in the Heisman conversation, even like
that can't be true.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Oh no, No, what he's talking about is Fox Sports
did a simulation where they ran at twenty six times
and one of those times the Toledo quarterback won the Heisman.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
So take that what it's worth.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
You didn't think that was reality though video game.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
There was something where he's being promoted, like I thought
I was the Heisman candidate.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
He has a big year. Okay, yeah, you wan you
want to go with that.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah, I'm gonna go with that.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Fact checked. I'm go with that. Look at his heisman on.
Let's say, if anybody seven seven two seven seven four
or five two five four at ky Sports Radio and Twitter,
can anyone find proof? Yes, it was up to someone.
You think they when you say they were being or promoting,
who's they?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Maybe the Toledo sports writers.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Are there? Toledo sports writer.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
This was a story at Kentucky Sports Radio dot com.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Okay, what is it to?
Speaker 3 (19:13):
But I don't have it in front of me, but
I remember reading it. And again it's Fox Sports that
did this.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
But it was the simulation of the video game.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
It was a simulation for no for the regular season, I.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Believe, But it was on a video game.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
They ran numbers, they ran analytical numbers. I'm not sure
if it was for a video game.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
I think if it was not a video game and
Fox Sports ran it and he won the Heisman, I
will say that that your your comment is relatively correct. Yeah,
all right, I'll give you a relatively correct.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I knew nothing about a video game. I just saw
something where he was like in the conversation.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
You're currently putting him in the conversation. It's I don't
know his name, but it's very nature Drew and media
members putting him in the conversation the Hesmand right now
on a pretty big show. People might reference this in
their previously. This is gonna be great because now people
will say they're referencing him for the high freight and
they might be using us.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
That's right, yeah, Rightan and put him in the Heisman conversation.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
All right? Does anyone think this is just like an
easy win and the game is not in question? Shannon,
you've been very positive on this tip team. Do you
think this is an easy win? Yes?
Speaker 3 (20:24):
And if it's not, then we've got much bigger problems
on our hands. I'm not nervous at all about this.
I think Kentucky wins, and they win convincing.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Now, sometimes though, teams that are good can have a
bad I mean, remember Notre Dame last year went to
a championship game and lost to Northern Illinois.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yess right.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
You know a lot of people forget they lost to
Northern Illinois last year and ended up in the in
the championship, so that can happen. I'm not saying that
if we lose Saturday, I'm gonna be like, hey, We're
still going to the championship, but you know, I could
see it being a difficult game. There's never been a
Kentucky team in my lifetime since I've been doing ks R,
at least that I've known less about than this. I
(21:01):
freely admit to knowing almost nothing. I'm I've set aside
part of Friday for study up for the pregame show
on Saturday, But I acknowledge in part because of their
lack of doing the things that UK Football has done
over the years to promote their team, in part because
(21:22):
of the massive transfer of talent Drew. I have no
idea what to expect. There's a lot of people like you.
If you think about like the depth chart, which is
probably coming out at any minute now, there's going to be
a new starter at most positions. How many positions are
we going to even have a returner? I mean, j
Cory Macklin, he didn't.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Start and start the receivers, running backs, quarterback and most
of the offensive who are going.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
To be the return Joshkatis, Jagger, any other offensive Lineman Farmer,
Kid Farmer, Jalen Farmer, all right, Defense Alex Safari.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Jordan love it, Jordan love it.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
There's a little more maybe six returning start. Yeah, defensive
line has some back.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Khalil Saunders and just say a haze on.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Some of those dudes. Some of those guys have been
replaced them.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
So it's probably seven eight positions at least where you're
gonna have brand new people in there.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
What kind of crowd are we going to get?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Well, we've talked about the opening day crowd is usually
pretty good. You know.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
I saw two tickets on the front row of one
section for one hundred bucks today. That's not good. I'm
worried about it. I know, friends, I think it's gonna
be huge for Old Miss Saturday next Saturday. I'm a
little worried about this Saturday.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
The people that set up the big tailgates tradition, I'm
not worried about them because that's what they do. But
they don't fill the stadium. You need just a common fan.
You gotta get you gotta get the cash. We'll to
fill the stadium. Yeah, we'll see. If I'm nine to
twenty two eighty seven, give us your thoughts. We'll take
your calls.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Right after this KSR TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.
He'll make them.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Pay now more.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Walterback Tucky Sports Radio EF. I'm not two eight oh
twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seventy two seven
four five two five four one person rights, Matt, no offense.
But how do you have opinions on football this year
while admitting to not knowing much about the team. I mean,
if people can are not allowed to have opinions about
things without knowing much about it, most conversation would stop.
(23:32):
I mean, when I get on Facebook, everybody has an
opinion about everything, and a lot of those people I
went to high school with, and I remember what their
grades were on the subjects that they do have opinions on.
I have multiple friends who failed many classes in biology,
who are experts on medicine. So yes, I'm just acknowledging.
(23:53):
I'm acknowledging what is true about most people in your
lives that talk about sports. They don't know as much
about it as they think they do. I'm just acknowledging it.
I don't know much about this team. Now this week
will change it a little bit, we'll know more. But
one person writes, Matt, part of it is your all's fault.
You've talked less about football than any year ever and
(24:13):
that's partially why fans don't know it. I mean, maybe
a little bit. But let me also just be real.
We're in the business of entertaining. This is an absolute fact.
Take it to the bank. You can believe me or not,
but it's true. Of all the topics we have talked
about this summer, the one that kills the phone lines
and kills the text machine the most is UK football.
(24:34):
I can talk about UK basketball, I can talk about parking,
I can talk about cheeseburgers, I can talk about the Reds,
I can talk about fly fishing, and we will get
triple the phone calls and triple the text mess and
UK basketball than UK football. When I talk about UK football,
(24:54):
it gets the least response. Now I feel some responsibility
to still talk about it because this is a UK
show and I want to whatever, But that's just the reality.
There is less appetite for UK football than I can
ever remember it reminds me of when I started doing
this years, years and years ago when Joker was the coach,
(25:14):
and that was the last time Ryan it has been
like this. Now starting Saturday, that will probably change, but
it's just how it's been.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
And it's with so many new faces, so many unknowns.
They kept things so quiet over the you know, the
off season. They didn't expose a lot of their guys
to us. I mean, there's just a lot of things
we don't know about this team.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
Now you come out if we win by thirty, Drew,
it's a different conversation next week, yep.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Right, But that's just how it is right now, and
it's liked just us. I went to their spring game,
which you can't even call it a spring game. I
mean there's no one there, and they didn't even tweet
about it from their own social media count. There was
like they didn't even want people to know the practice
was happening. Back in the day, they did this. I mean,
they did this, and maybe it'll be a good strategy.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Maybe we'll be halfway through the season, we'll be five
and two, fan base will be rowing and it'll be
a good strategy. But if it's not, they only have
themselves to blame. They did this. You're right. The spring
game is a perfect example. Fan Day got almost no
like you know, media like, it got almost no advertising
(26:15):
leading into it. I think it was the lowest attended
fan day they've had. They did this, and so you know,
now you have a situation where we have a quarterback
that we're playing that could walk down the street and
wouldn't be known. That's just different.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
It just did I had no idea what do you
even look like? Until he sat down with this on
media day. They should agree with you forefront. Ever since
the spring the Heath should have been the poster child,
get out there and meet the fans.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
But once the game starts, all of that matters significantly less.
And so we'll see Adam go ahead, Adam.
Speaker 7 (26:52):
Hey, Matt. First of all, to the texture or color,
who said that, you know it's your all's fault because
you're not talking about what are you supposed to say?
Because you know, pull off the CALIBERI line like, I
haven't seen them.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
That's a great point. I mean what there is a
sense of when you don't know the players, you haven't
been told anything about them, you haven't been allowed to
watch them. Practice and you haven't seen them play. What
is there even to say? They seem like nice people,
I mean, just nothing to even say really in some ways.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Yeah, I've actually this weekend talked myself into I think
Kentucky is gonna win comfortably against Toledo, and Drew hit
on it. I think Van Hollis talked about it on
Tom Leash to show that, Yeah, UK even though they
were bad last year, only won four games. They beat
the mac Champ forty one to six, and then that
same team beat Toledo twenty four to seven. Like, I
(27:45):
don't understand where the Toledo hype's coming from.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
That's interesting. That's a really I hadn't thought about it
like that, but that is interesting. Appreciate. Adam Van Hiles,
by the way, is the new co host of the
KSR Football podcast. Over the years that it's been Jared Lorenzen,
Freddie Maggard, Max Duffy and a lot Charles Walker, a
lot of folks, and then every time they have one
he ends up something you know, going somewhere else or
(28:10):
something happens. And now you have Van Hiles, who does
for people who don't know, does extensive breakdowns of football
on Twitter after games that people really like.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
Yup, we're doing our first one after this show. We're
gonna do a little later this afternoon, looking forward to
to talking to Van. As you said, we've been doing
it for years, started with me, Raush Freddy and Jared.
Where's mostly Jared Freddy just telling locker room stories. Austin
McGinnis did a couple of years. Well, I mean, heck,
it's thirteen. I don't know how many years we've been
doing it, but it feels like a long time. And
now we're excited for the new chapter of Van. So
(28:41):
we'll be promoting that this afternoon. I have something I
think you'll like, Shannon. Did you see Tommy Fleetwood finally
won in golf? That's the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
Do you know who Tommy Fleetwood is? Sham?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
He's a golfer.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Crap. If he wasn't a golfer one that would have
even been more so.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
You should have asked me that before you said he won,
and go.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
I won the tour championship. He had, like had Ryan
thirty top fives okay leading up to this, and had
never won, never won a tournament, thirty top fives, never won.
Think about that, Yeah, had multiple tournaments this year, like
led the final day and then choked.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
So he wins. So I watch him winning and I'm thinking, Shannon,
that's very cool, Like I'm pulling for this sure. So
as I look at him, though, as he's walking up
the thing, you know, I don't know a lot about him.
So as I'm looking at him, I walk up and
he's walking up the eighteenth I'm like, how old is he?
Because I thought he was pretty young, but he kind
(29:44):
of looked old yesterday, like he just looked a little haggard.
Maybe it was just the pressure of everything. Maybe he
hadn't gotten sleep losing. Yeah, So I looked him up
and he was thirty four years old, and I thought, well,
he looks a little older than thirty four, but I
can see it. Then he wins, he makes the putt,
he wins, and this guy comes on the green and
(30:06):
hugs him, and I'm like, oh, that's probably like best
buddy because they look to be the same age. Huh.
And then he goes that's his step son, and I
was like, hm, his step.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
Son looks as old as him, looks as old as him. Okay,
I say, you're taller than him. It looked like I
was like, that's odd. Step son looks old as him.
Then I looked it up. Tommy's thirty four wife fifty seven. Now,
let me be fair.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
If that's flipped, nobody says a word.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
Nobody says a word. Nope, right, fifty seven year old
dude thirty four year old woman. Nobody would think one
thing about it? Well, man, I think something, but that
wouldn't be we probably wouldn't even be talking correct, But
that is something you don't see a lot if that way, right,
(31:03):
I have to think, though, Shannon, they got to be
like crazy in love. Right's a good looking dude. Looked
a little haggard yesterday, but he's a good looking dude
fifty seven. So then of course I'm like, how did
they meet? When did they whatever? Because he seems very
close with the step son. They met when he was
twenty six and she was I guess what, forty nine,
(31:28):
forty nine, and that's when they fell in love.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
How about that early special have.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
You? Can you think of another famous couple with an
age gap like that but flipped where the woman is
twenty three years older than the guy.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Stifler's mom.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Well, I don't think they were married in the movie.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
No, yeah, they were.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
You're right. Uh, what is the difference between the president
of France and.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
His wife Macron? And uh, that's the first one that
came to mind. She's seventy two and he is, well,
give me a second, Okay, so that's seventy two. So
she's seventy two and he's forty seven. Forty seven, so
that's twenty five. Yes, and she was his teacher, right,
I think that's the story.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
I think she was. She was his teacher. But you
don't see that a lot, No, you don't. And so
it was really it was really like when the step
son runs onto the thing and I'm thinking it's his
brother or his best friend, and it's his step son.
You just and they were like they clearly really like
each other. Probably step son's happy, got somebody to hang
out with. He's crying. Yeah, yeah, So does that surprise
(32:46):
you at all? Wrong?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
It is kind of odd that our society we do
look at that totally different instead of it was flipped.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Now.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I remember when well, like, was it Scottie Pippens's ex
wife was dating somebody the same ages or something?
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Good? That's a good one. You know, Scottie Pippins's ex
wife is Dady Michael Jordan's son.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Michael Jordan's son, and everybody looks at kind of odd
like she's robbing the cradle. But why don't we think
it the other way around?
Speaker 5 (33:08):
You know? Well, I mean we know why we don't.
That's like sexism, it is, but it was surprising to me.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Shit, do you know who Calista Flockhart is?
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Apparently al Mcbealeah get married to Harrison Ford and she
is twenty two years older than him.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
That's not true, that's what it says. Harrison Harrison Ford's
like in his seventies. That would make her in her nineties.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Maybe she's ninety.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
Do you even know who Calista Flockhart is? No, she
was Ali mcbeill. You think Ali mcbill's in her nineties.
I'm just saying what Google says. Google could be wrong. See,
this is the problem with Google AI. It's just saying,
like now, fake things and people just take it as fact.
That's not true. If you google a I mean, they
(33:56):
have like six different people listed as my wife. Really no,
I'm not kidding. If you put in Matt Jones Kentucky wife,
they'll have me being name to people like Elaine, like
people that are not even real people, or people that
I've just taken like pictures with. Yeah, they'll say they're
(34:16):
my wife. On AI now they will, so, I mean,
I believe you that's what it says, ship, but it's
it's sixty. She's sixty. I didn't realize she was that old.
And what's Harrison by pushing eighty? Oh yeah, he's got three. Yeah,
so they just flipped it.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Damn j GPT.
Speaker 6 (34:34):
I asked it for some Kentucky basketball stat one time
and it said John Wall won the seventy eight championship.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
And I'm like, yeah, we got a little time before.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
That's the problem with googling things. Now AI comes up first.
I hate it, and I didn't ask for that, but
it's there.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
I think there's now an opening for a search engine
that doesn't give me AI answer, right, because jeeves bringing
back when there is, because AI, at least the Google
AI is not is not particularly good yet. No, you're right.

Good, that's a good one.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
That's a good one. But they're not still together, are they?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
I don't think so. Marty Stewart and his wife, Oh
we talked about that on the show before.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Yeah. He said when he was a little kid, he
listened to her sat play and said I'm gonna marry
her and he did. He did. Tonnie Tonnie Smith. She's
the one that sings the Cincinnati So okay, Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Ow I remember us talking about him.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
And then I didn't realize this. They say, Randy Travis's
wife is a lot older than him.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
He's old.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Yeah, see how old Randy Travis's wife is. I didn't
know her. Randy Travis and his wife.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
Well, he's sixty six, so what is she?
Speaker 5 (36:28):
I don't know. Apparently Tommy Fleetwood's wife was his agent. Okay,
and they have a child to get Oh they do? Now?
If they met when she was forty nine, that means
she had a child a lot later in life with him. Yeah, right,
you have the Randy Travis. I'm looking. I'm not finding rage. Okay,
well there you go. Apparently one of the Kim Kardashian's
(36:51):
mom is dating a twenty seven year old who's that?
Chris Jenner.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Chris Jenner, she was dating like the yeah, the trainer.
He's a lot younger than her.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
How do you know this?
Speaker 2 (37:02):
I used to watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians regularly.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
So you watch Oh yeah, I know it's that show.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Oh yeah, yeah, watch a lot of them.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
I thought she's had a boyfriend for like ten years.
That's older.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
I think he's younger the black guy. He's a younger guy.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
Okay, y'all stop arguing. We try to keep up with
I deal. I will say I turned on. I wanted
to watch something mindless. Turned on the first episode of
Hunting Wives on Netflix. I mean, you want to talk
about a terrible show, but then I'm probably gonna watch
every episode of Have you seen that?
Speaker 2 (37:32):
It's funny? Well, some of your transit friends were talking
about that at the party Saturday.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Coming from Boston, like moves to Texas. She meets all
these like maga gun women. Then it turns out they're
all a little risque, and then she gets caught up
in it. And I mean, it's terrible, but I couldn't
see myself watching all eight episodes of it.
Speaker 6 (37:56):
I got home really late from Tahoe last night. Right away,
go to Day.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
I'm in, I'm all, can we talk?
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I'm talking about Guild to Day halfway.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
Let's just see what can I say?
Speaker 2 (38:06):
What I told you?
Speaker 5 (38:08):
Uh? Yeah, if you want, Drew.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
There is no way. Matt Jones was sitting at home
one night and decided I'm gonna start watching Guildeday.
Speaker 5 (38:19):
I just said.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
I got home from Tyhoe and immediately was her name?
They watching Gilda.
Speaker 5 (38:24):
I genuinely like, I don't think it's a great show,
but I think it's entertaining. I like it because it's
so trivial and stupid. I have the hots for Bertha Russell.
Agnes is mean but funny. I'm hoping Ada or Ava
or whatever get hooks up with the Preacher. Don't spoiler
alert and tell me if she does. Okay, they got
(38:46):
rid of mister Rakes, who was so boring.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yes, married him off.
Speaker 5 (38:51):
Yeah, got him away. I like, what you know, Gladys
Russell's now out on the town. Hopefully she finds a suitor.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
My favorite character is Oscar Oscar.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
Oscar gets more involved as it goes on. It's a
good show. Famous said, like they'll be like there's Clara Barton,
there's Oscar Wilde, and like T. Washington, there's Booker T Washington.
That's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
So there's no way you're sitting home like I'm gonna
start watching this by myself.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
What was her name?
Speaker 2 (39:18):
What was her name?
Speaker 5 (39:19):
Going? There's no blushing, I'm telling you it was I
watch I really like HBO Max probably my favorite of
the apps. I turned it on. They I just kept
seeing it. Then I was like, all right, one episode,
I'm CONFU. You seem to know a lot, you seem
to know more than me. Matt got, that's a really
good point. You know, how do you know? Booker t
(39:40):
We's that's halfway through season two.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
That's right, I'm right the halfway through season two.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
So that means you're watching.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
You told us that you hooked us, you got us
excited about it, watch it.
Speaker 5 (39:50):
But if you're all the way through season two, that
means you clearly like it enough to keep watching.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Because Yoga Girl loved it. It is a chicken Girl
is halfway.
Speaker 5 (39:59):
Through and it's absolutely it's good.
Speaker 2 (40:04):

like dorky Dungeon and Dragons people that play their card games,
and they seem really happy. And I'm I'm I guess
I'm giving you a hard time, but I also think
that's cool. I mean that I'm not y. You realize that.
Speaker 9 (41:17):
No, yeah, no, of course, I mean. Yeah, we we
have a great people and and I'm sorry, actually Saturday
might have been partially our fault too about your parking situation.
We also threw a renaissance there that had like five
thousand people show up.

servers and knocked sour cream all over the place.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Also Mario started it with a sour cream.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Now, Ryan then tries to be hopeful, gets down and
starts wiping up the sour cream, then stands and then
stands up, turns around and immediately knocks into another server
who's coming with a pint of beer in each hand.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Is spills beer all over the server.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Oh wow, Yeah, so you're the one that spilled all
the beer. I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I heard of comedy.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
I heard that there was beer on servers, and that
was you.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
It was a great bump because all the beer went
on him, not a drop on me, not a drop.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Good And it was probably just starting. It was a
brand new server. Yeah. Well, welcome them to the to
the family. It's a lot of fun. Thank you to
the people listening here who are friends and family who came.
It was exciting. Nice to have had a lot of
legends there. I mean, Drew missed it because he was
on the Bachelor party, but you had Let's just go
through the Kentucky media legends. You had Tom Leech, you
(03:10):
had Terry mynern Miners, Rob Bromley, Rob Bromley, right he
made Jeff Pikoro made an appearance, right Lee Cruz, Mary
Joe used to be Perino now four. Yes, all kinds
of legends.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
The biggest rock star in the whole building was your mom.
People were flocking to go talk to you about.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
People like my mom was just like had a list
just people coming up wanting to meet my mom. There
were some people I know a lot people that were
there were so nice to my parents. Even Larry, like
we had CJ. Cain, who plays with Tyler Childers, like
he travels around the world with Tyler Childers, came up
to talk to Larry about playing the bass, and Larry,
(03:55):
of course no idea who Tyler Childers is, like he's
talking to a shanted Larry's like you're in a band.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
He had no idea who he was, and I wanted
I wanted.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
To be like Larry. He's in like the biggest like country,
like one of the biggest country acts there is. But
for Larry was like, well, I played in the it
was great, was so sweet and CJ was so nice
to him. And like I just I really enjoyed it.
It was good.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Well, I was in an area where I could see
the people go to that table your mom and Larry
were sitting. All your trancy friends went to see him,
All your KSR friends went to see him. All the
people just wanted to meet your mom and talk to her.
She was She had a steady flow of people coming
to talk to her last that night.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
When he started putting Karen on like the social media graphics,
there's no doubt Karen's gonna become like I mean, she's already.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
They're already more popular than me in terms of likability.
They are. There's no doubt about that. And part of
the reason why is what I'm about to do next.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Here we go.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Dun dun dum. All right, I'm gonna say this like
nicely because I don't want to be one of these
like Nimby people. You know what Nimby is like, not
in my neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Okay, I hadn't heard that.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
They put up that park. First of all, extremely nice park.
It's awesome as far as I've heard, no broken legs yet,
although it's coming on that part on that that playground.
People there First of all, you couldn't ask for two
the better days a web right, people everywhere, Like I
(05:30):
think the whole city went to the park at some point,
and it seems to have gotten rave reviews. Have you
heard that.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I drove by Saturday morning and it was a zoo,
so you knew it had to be popular.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
I mean, and I think it's gotten rave fountains and
there's you know, they're they're they're stars and there's just
all kinds of things, right stars. Yeah, like you know
stars when they come down and like it's it's it's
it's it's I feel like the park in terms of
as a park Rave review. With that said, I may
(06:04):
have to have multiple people arrested. It has caused my
street to become mad Max Furios. Okay, the parking situation
down there is an issue now. I mean that's true
for all towntown events, right, but it's especially true for this,
I think because they don't have as many parking lots
(06:25):
open because like it's not an event, you know, So
my street has become just taken over by people trying
to park. Here's the thing, Shannon, you know me, I'm
fine with people. I want them to have fun. I
want them to do whatever. You're very patient on the road.
(06:48):
My street, My street essentially is a two lane street,
but three cars could get through if they need to.
You are allowed to park on one side of the street.
That allows it to still be a two lane street.
Are we following each other?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Ah? You?
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Starting on Saturday, people just decided ignoring the yellow line.
Do people still know what yellow lines mean? To park
on both sides of the street? Now if it's one day,
you know, me laid back, all right, But it's chaos
because then it becomes a one lane street at a
(07:27):
dead end. Now, think about what a one lane street
at a dead end is. You get people going both
ways and there's nowhere for them to go. Yeah, okay,
so you just run into each other, just look at
each other, waiting for each other to move.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Then more cars pile up behind them. And this happens
from nine am till ten pm. Whoa and never stops.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
And oh, by the way, there's a street full of
people that need to get out. Okay. Also, my parents
are there Saturday, so you can imagine them trying to
navigate that. So driving in and out literally is a
war zone. I'm going out with a battle axe. Maybe
not the best thing, trying to get people out of
the way, all right, with your ex So there were
(08:17):
many encounters. I'm gonna give you the most pleasant one.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Okay, the pleasant one.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
The most pleasant one is I go, one person is leaving,
so one parking spot's becoming open now again because it's free.
This is where everybody wants to be because everything else
is charging. Right. This woman, wonderful lady, okay, older black
lady with her sister, and there are maybe three kids
(08:45):
in the in the back. She's driving a mini van.
She's trying to parallel park. Oh, I can tell Shannon,
this person is not a parallel park you know what
I mean. I watch her go up, back, up and
back and up, and I'm like, the restaurant opening is coming.
(09:06):
I gotta go get there. So I get out very patiently.
I say, ma'am, respectfully, would you like me to park
your car? And she said, oh, honey, yes, I don't parallel.
That's what she said, I don't parallel. So I got
in her car. She's in a minivan and she's got
(09:27):
it jacked up to the front. So my knees are
like up on my face, and I get in, and
I like, you know, I do it. I parallel park
the car. Good for you, all right, I get it in.
She as I get out of the car, she looks
at me and she goes, oh, honey, thank the Lord
(09:47):
for men. If it wasn't for men, what will we do?
And then her sister's like, oh, if it wasn't for me,
And I'm like, now I'm almost embarrassed because you know,
I'm like.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
You're the king of all men right now?
Speaker 5 (10:01):
No, no, no, because I'm like you're equal.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
You you're just practicing for your African troops. But you can't.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
You could do this too, right, like we can all
do it, you know. Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
She wasn't feeling it though, Yeah, but she was being
like overly nice.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
But I didn't want to be the only men com
parallel park. That sounds like some rhyme would say, right,
but anyway, Then she she walks out, I'm like, I
have to get out of my car and go. You've
got to back up. If you don't back up, none
of us will get out. I can't do this, true.
So I did the one thing that I've never done
in my life. I called the police, did you? I
(10:40):
called the police, and I said, look, I don't want
anybody told. I don't want anybody like arrested, but y'all
got to do something. You gotta do something about this row.
You got like it's a disaster, and I said, someone's
gonna get in a fight. You have to do something.
(11:00):
They never came that I saw.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
At least turns out they didn't have to do anything else.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
It turns anything and Sunday was a little less chaotic,
but still same issue. They gotta do something right, And
I'm not like, I'm not the kind of person who
goes to this town neighborhood zoning like I don't do that.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
You should, they're fun, but I'm I don't do that.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
But I have registered my complaint privately and now I'm
registered at publicly. If it's like this again, next weekend,
you may be looking at a host who's head explodes.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And it's a shame because it's a beautiful park. It
was a beautiful weekend, all set up to be a
great day for everybody. But there's nothing but you see,
you know where I am, Yes, you see how that
can happen? Oh, absolutely, I can see it. There's nowhere
to go, No you're just stuck. So I mean they're
gonna have to police it. They'nt have to toe people
to police it or something.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I think they have to. Like, I mean, one guy
parked in my driveway. How do you have the audacity
to park in someone's driveway?
Speaker 6 (12:00):
It is a big driveway, but ask true, you don't
know if somebody's coming in or trying to go.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
I mean, like you're gonna have to blot me in.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
So it is pulled up there next to the garage.
Is there a dedicated lot at all yet for the park?
Speaker 5 (12:14):
There is, but there were so many people out there
like I you know, and it's a unique event for
the park. I mean not a big concerts. But it's
not gonna be like that. I keep happening it now
there's a sign that says you cannot park on this
side during rupp Arena events. I think it's just got
to say.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Always put gun out there.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Oh well, my neighbor. You know what my neighbor did.
My neighbor put rocks in front of their driveway and
a sign in the yard said get out. You should
do the same thing.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Why you didn't do the same thing?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Have any rocks?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
But I guess drive down and get in. They need
someplace to turn around.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
The reality is, if they don't have my driveway, I
don't think they could turn around. They'd probably just have
to abandon their cars and leaving that I still couldn't
get out.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Wow, so car graveyard over there it is.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
So anyway, I've registered my complaint to the city the police.
You're right, Channon, I said, they have to do something,
have to do something, and they didn't have to do anything.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Let's get Linda Gorton on it to help.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
You because they didn't do a thing. And what was
I gonna do about it? Like, I mean, there's nothing
I could do about it. So I was like, well,
I you know these conversations like.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
A UK game, there's what twenty home games a year
you're gonna have every weekend.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
They see the sign that says you can't post here
during repperena events, so they don't. But this isn't a arena.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
True for thirty bucks, I can get you a no
parking anytime sign. I'll throw in the thirty bucks to
get you a no parking sign.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Just go out there.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Do I have the ability as a citizen to determine
that a people can't park on a street. I don't
think I have that ability.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I mean, and somebody unless somebody pulls it up.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
The police didn't come, so I guess it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
They're not gonna come yankee.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Or not coming either way out there. Well maybe I should.
You should just hang up my own no parking anytime
sign on the street. You there were some nails sticking
out of it. Put at the end of your driveway.
My poor parents. My mom just here's what my mom did.
She came and just sat at the window like for
an hour and looked outside and goes, this is gonna
be a problem for you. Yeah, yeah, this is gonna
(14:14):
be a pro I was like, Mom, please sit down
like you staring at it is not gonna make it.
She cares. She's been a good mother. If I'm nine
two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, we are gonna
preview UK Toledo the Blue Hens and the Cats playing Saturday.
This is Kazer. It's a good song choice I do
(14:36):
like I do like the park. It's it's beautiful and
there were a million people. Yeah, and we came added
to tray like a lot of good. It's definitely head
to traffic. Believe me, I can tell but uh thing,
it's overall positive thing for the city. Beach boys. Now,
I will tell you I ain't never gonna have to
pay for one concert there.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Shit, that's cool.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Year in my soul, in my restaurant, in my house. Yeah,
in the restroom and then everywhere. But so that's good.
When they start getting good acts, that'll be good. Have
you used the splash pad yet? Will we catch you
out there splash splash pad. I'm not gonna splash pad.
I don't feel the need to pad or splash, but
(15:15):
but it'll be good eight five nine two eight oh
twenty two eighty seven. One person says, Matt, do you
use the same tone with the police that you did
on the radio. No. I was very polite. I didn't
even say my name. I was like, this is the street,
this is the issue. I'm a concerned citizen, I said.
I didn't want to be like you know who you
know I would, I'm just it. I just wanted to say, hey,
(15:36):
this is like something to be aware of. You're just
someone looking out for their community. I did. I do think.
I said you have to come out, and Shannon has
proven that was a complete false.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Don't tell police what they have to do.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
They have to do one thing, and they were fine
with it. UK Toledo twelve forty five on Saturday. Nervous
because I didn't name the starter.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, I like I said, I don't want to be
too overconfident, but I'm not nervous. I feel like that's
this is a game that I think it'll be a
close game, but I think Kentucky's gonna win.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Again.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
They just have better players than Toledo does, so they
should win the game.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
And I'm not nervous at all, even though it is
a very difficult Week one opponent. Uh, Toledo is very
good with you saying all summer we know what Kentucky's
up against. I wouldnt say I'm nevous. I still think
they win, but I think it will be closer than
you want those first non conference games to be.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Are we winning at halftime?
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Yeah, Toledo was up fourteen to seven here about five
years ago.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
I got a little uncomfortable.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
I think it'll be low scoring, probably a boring game,
but Kentucky will be in control.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Isn't just there a stat that like Stoops is really
good about covering, Like his team's cover.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Well kinds a lot, so we cover a lot in losses.
We're one of the best teams in the couch it losses.
That's not what we want Saturday. It would be possible
for us to cover during this game and lose because
we're a favorite. We have struggled in week one, Like
I mean, we've won all the time except his first
(17:06):
year or two, but we've struggled in week one. And
we've had a lot of games where we didn't look
great in week one, and then I think the Toledo
game was the most obvious. We were losing the halftime
came back. But this is a team that over the
years with Stoops, has taken a little while to get
the engine rammed.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Yeah, in the last few years it seems they've gotten
a little bit better about it. Heck, we all remember
the early days, needing a spectacular catch to get ahead
of Eastern Kentucky that one year and you know, have
the Western game.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
To get ahead to win. It was the last drive. Yeah,
so we remember those.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Last year they played Ohio, the MAC team even won
the Mac and Kentucky handled them pretty easily if I recall.
So hopefully it's more like that. But we all have
plenty of memories of when this game has been way
too tight.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Did I see that Toledo came in like sixth last
year in the MAC or fifth? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:51):
They were?
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Why? Why is what is the reason I have not
followed the Toledo off season? What is the reason that
everybody thinks they're going to be so good?
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Well, they went five hundred in the MAC last year,
which didn't great. That's why the middle of the pack.
But outside of the conference games, they beat Pittsburgh and
Mississippi State, they went too and ohero in the Power Four.
And then they bring lots of people back and d
train them. Their coaching staff's been together like a million years.
They're just a program that's continually good. Last year, they
just lost some conference games.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
In their quarterback. Like in the Heisman conversation, even like
that can't be true.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Oh no, No, what he's talking about is Fox Sports
did a simulation where they ran at twenty six times
and one of those times the Toledo quarterback won the Heisman.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
So take that what it's worth.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
You didn't think that was reality though video game.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
There was something where he's being promoted, like I thought
I was the Heisman candidate.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
He has a big year. Okay, yeah, you wan you
want to go with that.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah, I'm gonna go with that.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Fact checked. I'm go with that. Look at his heisman on.
Let's say, if anybody seven seven two seven seven four
or five two five four at ky Sports Radio and Twitter,
can anyone find proof? Yes, it was up to someone.
You think they when you say they were being or promoting,
who's they?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Maybe the Toledo sports writers.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Are there? Toledo sports writer.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
This was a story at Kentucky Sports Radio dot com.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Okay, what is it to?
Speaker 3 (19:13):
But I don't have it in front of me, but
I remember reading it. And again it's Fox Sports that
did this.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
But it was the simulation of the video game.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
It was a simulation for no for the regular season, I.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Believe, But it was on a video game.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
They ran numbers, they ran analytical numbers. I'm not sure
if it was for a video game.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
I think if it was not a video game and
Fox Sports ran it and he won the Heisman, I
will say that that your your comment is relatively correct. Yeah,
all right, I'll give you a relatively correct.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I knew nothing about a video game. I just saw
something where he was like in the conversation.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
You're currently putting him in the conversation. It's I don't
know his name, but it's very nature Drew and media
members putting him in the conversation the Hesmand right now
on a pretty big show. People might reference this in
their previously. This is gonna be great because now people
will say they're referencing him for the high freight and
they might be using us.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
That's right, yeah, Rightan and put him in the Heisman conversation.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
All right? Does anyone think this is just like an
easy win and the game is not in question? Shannon,
you've been very positive on this tip team. Do you
think this is an easy win? Yes?
Speaker 3 (20:24):
And if it's not, then we've got much bigger problems
on our hands. I'm not nervous at all about this.
I think Kentucky wins, and they win convincing.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Now, sometimes though, teams that are good can have a
bad I mean, remember Notre Dame last year went to
a championship game and lost to Northern Illinois.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yess right.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
You know a lot of people forget they lost to
Northern Illinois last year and ended up in the in
the championship, so that can happen. I'm not saying that
if we lose Saturday, I'm gonna be like, hey, We're
still going to the championship, but you know, I could
see it being a difficult game. There's never been a
Kentucky team in my lifetime since I've been doing ks R,
at least that I've known less about than this. I
(21:01):
freely admit to knowing almost nothing. I'm I've set aside
part of Friday for study up for the pregame show
on Saturday, But I acknowledge in part because of their
lack of doing the things that UK Football has done
over the years to promote their team, in part because
(21:22):
of the massive transfer of talent Drew. I have no
idea what to expect. There's a lot of people like you.
If you think about like the depth chart, which is
probably coming out at any minute now, there's going to be
a new starter at most positions. How many positions are
we going to even have a returner? I mean, j
Cory Macklin, he didn't.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Start and start the receivers, running backs, quarterback and most
of the offensive who are going.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
To be the return Joshkatis, Jagger, any other offensive Lineman Farmer,
Kid Farmer, Jalen Farmer, all right, Defense Alex Safari.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Jordan love it, Jordan love it.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
There's a little more maybe six returning start. Yeah, defensive
line has some back.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Khalil Saunders and just say a haze on.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Some of those dudes. Some of those guys have been
replaced them.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
So it's probably seven eight positions at least where you're
gonna have brand new people in there.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
What kind of crowd are we going to get?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Well, we've talked about the opening day crowd is usually
pretty good. You know.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
I saw two tickets on the front row of one
section for one hundred bucks today. That's not good. I'm
worried about it. I know, friends, I think it's gonna
be huge for Old Miss Saturday next Saturday. I'm a
little worried about this Saturday.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
The people that set up the big tailgates tradition, I'm
not worried about them because that's what they do. But
they don't fill the stadium. You need just a common fan.
You gotta get you gotta get the cash. We'll to
fill the stadium. Yeah, we'll see. If I'm nine to
twenty two eighty seven, give us your thoughts. We'll take
your calls.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Right after this KSR TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.
He'll make them.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Pay now more.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Walterback Tucky Sports Radio EF. I'm not two eight oh
twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seventy two seven
four five two five four one person rights, Matt, no offense.
But how do you have opinions on football this year
while admitting to not knowing much about the team. I mean,
if people can are not allowed to have opinions about
things without knowing much about it, most conversation would stop.
(23:32):
I mean, when I get on Facebook, everybody has an
opinion about everything, and a lot of those people I
went to high school with, and I remember what their
grades were on the subjects that they do have opinions on.
I have multiple friends who failed many classes in biology,
who are experts on medicine. So yes, I'm just acknowledging.
(23:53):
I'm acknowledging what is true about most people in your
lives that talk about sports. They don't know as much
about it as they think they do. I'm just acknowledging it.
I don't know much about this team. Now this week
will change it a little bit, we'll know more. But
one person writes, Matt, part of it is your all's fault.
You've talked less about football than any year ever and
(24:13):
that's partially why fans don't know it. I mean, maybe
a little bit. But let me also just be real.
We're in the business of entertaining. This is an absolute fact.
Take it to the bank. You can believe me or not,
but it's true. Of all the topics we have talked
about this summer, the one that kills the phone lines
and kills the text machine the most is UK football.
(24:34):
I can talk about UK basketball, I can talk about parking,
I can talk about cheeseburgers, I can talk about the Reds,
I can talk about fly fishing, and we will get
triple the phone calls and triple the text mess and
UK basketball than UK football. When I talk about UK football,
(24:54):
it gets the least response. Now I feel some responsibility
to still talk about it because this is a UK
show and I want to whatever, But that's just the reality.
There is less appetite for UK football than I can
ever remember it reminds me of when I started doing
this years, years and years ago when Joker was the coach,
(25:14):
and that was the last time Ryan it has been
like this. Now starting Saturday, that will probably change, but
it's just how it's been.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
And it's with so many new faces, so many unknowns.
They kept things so quiet over the you know, the
off season. They didn't expose a lot of their guys
to us. I mean, there's just a lot of things
we don't know about this team.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
Now you come out if we win by thirty, Drew,
it's a different conversation next week, yep.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Right, But that's just how it is right now, and
it's liked just us. I went to their spring game,
which you can't even call it a spring game. I
mean there's no one there, and they didn't even tweet
about it from their own social media count. There was
like they didn't even want people to know the practice
was happening. Back in the day, they did this. I mean,
they did this, and maybe it'll be a good strategy.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Maybe we'll be halfway through the season, we'll be five
and two, fan base will be rowing and it'll be
a good strategy. But if it's not, they only have
themselves to blame. They did this. You're right. The spring
game is a perfect example. Fan Day got almost no
like you know, media like, it got almost no advertising
(26:15):
leading into it. I think it was the lowest attended
fan day they've had. They did this, and so you know,
now you have a situation where we have a quarterback
that we're playing that could walk down the street and
wouldn't be known. That's just different.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
It just did I had no idea what do you
even look like? Until he sat down with this on
media day. They should agree with you forefront. Ever since
the spring the Heath should have been the poster child,
get out there and meet the fans.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
But once the game starts, all of that matters significantly less.
And so we'll see Adam go ahead, Adam.
Speaker 7 (26:52):
Hey, Matt. First of all, to the texture or color,
who said that, you know it's your all's fault because
you're not talking about what are you supposed to say?
Because you know, pull off the CALIBERI line like, I
haven't seen them.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
That's a great point. I mean what there is a
sense of when you don't know the players, you haven't
been told anything about them, you haven't been allowed to
watch them. Practice and you haven't seen them play. What
is there even to say? They seem like nice people,
I mean, just nothing to even say really in some ways.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Yeah, I've actually this weekend talked myself into I think
Kentucky is gonna win comfortably against Toledo, and Drew hit
on it. I think Van Hollis talked about it on
Tom Leash to show that, Yeah, UK even though they
were bad last year, only won four games. They beat
the mac Champ forty one to six, and then that
same team beat Toledo twenty four to seven. Like, I
(27:45):
don't understand where the Toledo hype's coming from.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
That's interesting. That's a really I hadn't thought about it
like that, but that is interesting. Appreciate. Adam Van Hiles,
by the way, is the new co host of the
KSR Football podcast. Over the years that it's been Jared Lorenzen,
Freddie Maggard, Max Duffy and a lot Charles Walker, a
lot of folks, and then every time they have one
he ends up something you know, going somewhere else or
(28:10):
something happens. And now you have Van Hiles, who does
for people who don't know, does extensive breakdowns of football
on Twitter after games that people really like.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
Yup, we're doing our first one after this show. We're
gonna do a little later this afternoon, looking forward to
to talking to Van. As you said, we've been doing
it for years, started with me, Raush Freddy and Jared.
Where's mostly Jared Freddy just telling locker room stories. Austin
McGinnis did a couple of years. Well, I mean, heck,
it's thirteen. I don't know how many years we've been
doing it, but it feels like a long time. And
now we're excited for the new chapter of Van. So
(28:41):
we'll be promoting that this afternoon. I have something I
think you'll like, Shannon. Did you see Tommy Fleetwood finally
won in golf? That's the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
Do you know who Tommy Fleetwood is? Sham?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
He's a golfer.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Crap. If he wasn't a golfer one that would have
even been more so.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
You should have asked me that before you said he won,
and go.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
I won the tour championship. He had, like had Ryan
thirty top fives okay leading up to this, and had
never won, never won a tournament, thirty top fives, never won.
Think about that, Yeah, had multiple tournaments this year, like
led the final day and then choked.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
So he wins. So I watch him winning and I'm thinking, Shannon,
that's very cool, Like I'm pulling for this sure. So
as I look at him, though, as he's walking up
the thing, you know, I don't know a lot about him.
So as I'm looking at him, I walk up and
he's walking up the eighteenth I'm like, how old is he?
Because I thought he was pretty young, but he kind
(29:44):
of looked old yesterday, like he just looked a little haggard.
Maybe it was just the pressure of everything. Maybe he
hadn't gotten sleep losing. Yeah, So I looked him up
and he was thirty four years old, and I thought, well,
he looks a little older than thirty four, but I
can see it. Then he wins, he makes the putt,
he wins, and this guy comes on the green and
(30:06):
hugs him, and I'm like, oh, that's probably like best
buddy because they look to be the same age. Huh.
And then he goes that's his step son, and I
was like, hm, his step.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
Son looks as old as him, looks as old as him. Okay,
I say, you're taller than him. It looked like I
was like, that's odd. Step son looks old as him.
Then I looked it up. Tommy's thirty four wife fifty seven. Now,
let me be fair.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
If that's flipped, nobody says a word.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
Nobody says a word. Nope, right, fifty seven year old
dude thirty four year old woman. Nobody would think one
thing about it? Well, man, I think something, but that
wouldn't be we probably wouldn't even be talking correct, But
that is something you don't see a lot if that way, right,
(31:03):
I have to think, though, Shannon, they got to be
like crazy in love. Right's a good looking dude. Looked
a little haggard yesterday, but he's a good looking dude
fifty seven. So then of course I'm like, how did
they meet? When did they whatever? Because he seems very
close with the step son. They met when he was
twenty six and she was I guess what, forty nine,
(31:28):
forty nine, and that's when they fell in love.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
How about that early special have.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
You? Can you think of another famous couple with an
age gap like that but flipped where the woman is
twenty three years older than the guy.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Stifler's mom.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Well, I don't think they were married in the movie.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
No, yeah, they were.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
You're right. Uh, what is the difference between the president
of France and.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
His wife Macron? And uh, that's the first one that
came to mind. She's seventy two and he is, well,
give me a second, Okay, so that's seventy two. So
she's seventy two and he's forty seven. Forty seven, so
that's twenty five. Yes, and she was his teacher, right,
I think that's the story.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
I think she was. She was his teacher. But you
don't see that a lot, No, you don't. And so
it was really it was really like when the step
son runs onto the thing and I'm thinking it's his
brother or his best friend, and it's his step son.
You just and they were like they clearly really like
each other. Probably step son's happy, got somebody to hang
out with. He's crying. Yeah, yeah, So does that surprise
(32:46):
you at all? Wrong?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
It is kind of odd that our society we do
look at that totally different instead of it was flipped.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Now.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I remember when well, like, was it Scottie Pippens's ex
wife was dating somebody the same ages or something?
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Good? That's a good one. You know, Scottie Pippins's ex
wife is Dady Michael Jordan's son.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Michael Jordan's son, and everybody looks at kind of odd
like she's robbing the cradle. But why don't we think
it the other way around?
Speaker 5 (33:08):
You know? Well, I mean we know why we don't.
That's like sexism, it is, but it was surprising to me.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Shit, do you know who Calista Flockhart is?
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Apparently al Mcbealeah get married to Harrison Ford and she
is twenty two years older than him.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
That's not true, that's what it says. Harrison Harrison Ford's
like in his seventies. That would make her in her nineties.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Maybe she's ninety.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
Do you even know who Calista Flockhart is? No, she
was Ali mcbeill. You think Ali mcbill's in her nineties.
I'm just saying what Google says. Google could be wrong. See,
this is the problem with Google AI. It's just saying,
like now, fake things and people just take it as fact.
That's not true. If you google a I mean, they
(33:56):
have like six different people listed as my wife. Really no,
I'm not kidding. If you put in Matt Jones Kentucky wife,
they'll have me being name to people like Elaine, like
people that are not even real people, or people that
I've just taken like pictures with. Yeah, they'll say they're
(34:16):
my wife. On AI now they will, so, I mean,
I believe you that's what it says, ship, but it's
it's sixty. She's sixty. I didn't realize she was that old.
And what's Harrison by pushing eighty? Oh yeah, he's got three. Yeah,
so they just flipped it.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Damn j GPT.
Speaker 6 (34:34):
I asked it for some Kentucky basketball stat one time
and it said John Wall won the seventy eight championship.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
And I'm like, yeah, we got a little time before.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
That's the problem with googling things. Now AI comes up first.
I hate it, and I didn't ask for that, but
it's there.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
I think there's now an opening for a search engine
that doesn't give me AI answer, right, because jeeves bringing
back when there is, because AI, at least the Google
AI is not is not particularly good yet. No, you're right.

Good, that's a good one.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
That's a good one. But they're not still together, are they?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
I don't think so. Marty Stewart and his wife, Oh
we talked about that on the show before.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Yeah. He said when he was a little kid, he
listened to her sat play and said I'm gonna marry
her and he did. He did. Tonnie Tonnie Smith. She's
the one that sings the Cincinnati So okay, Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Ow I remember us talking about him.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
And then I didn't realize this. They say, Randy Travis's
wife is a lot older than him.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
He's old.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Yeah, see how old Randy Travis's wife is. I didn't
know her. Randy Travis and his wife.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
Well, he's sixty six, so what is she?
Speaker 5 (36:28):
I don't know. Apparently Tommy Fleetwood's wife was his agent. Okay,
and they have a child to get Oh they do? Now?
If they met when she was forty nine, that means
she had a child a lot later in life with him. Yeah, right,
you have the Randy Travis. I'm looking. I'm not finding rage. Okay,
well there you go. Apparently one of the Kim Kardashian's
(36:51):
mom is dating a twenty seven year old who's that?
Chris Jenner.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Chris Jenner, she was dating like the yeah, the trainer.
He's a lot younger than her.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
How do you know this?
Speaker 2 (37:02):
I used to watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians regularly.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
So you watch Oh yeah, I know it's that show.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Oh yeah, yeah, watch a lot of them.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
I thought she's had a boyfriend for like ten years.
That's older.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
I think he's younger the black guy. He's a younger guy.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
Okay, y'all stop arguing. We try to keep up with
I deal. I will say I turned on. I wanted
to watch something mindless. Turned on the first episode of
Hunting Wives on Netflix. I mean, you want to talk
about a terrible show, but then I'm probably gonna watch
every episode of Have you seen that?
Speaker 2 (37:32):
It's funny? Well, some of your transit friends were talking
about that at the party Saturday.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Coming from Boston, like moves to Texas. She meets all
these like maga gun women. Then it turns out they're
all a little risque, and then she gets caught up
in it. And I mean, it's terrible, but I couldn't
see myself watching all eight episodes of it.
Speaker 6 (37:56):
I got home really late from Tahoe last night. Right away,
go to Day.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
I'm in, I'm all, can we talk?
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I'm talking about Guild to Day halfway.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
Let's just see what can I say?
Speaker 2 (38:06):
What I told you?
Speaker 5 (38:08):
Uh? Yeah, if you want, Drew.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
There is no way. Matt Jones was sitting at home
one night and decided I'm gonna start watching Guildeday.
Speaker 5 (38:19):
I just said.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
I got home from Tyhoe and immediately was her name?
They watching Gilda.
Speaker 5 (38:24):
I genuinely like, I don't think it's a great show,
but I think it's entertaining. I like it because it's
so trivial and stupid. I have the hots for Bertha Russell.
Agnes is mean but funny. I'm hoping Ada or Ava
or whatever get hooks up with the Preacher. Don't spoiler
alert and tell me if she does. Okay, they got
(38:46):
rid of mister Rakes, who was so boring.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yes, married him off.
Speaker 5 (38:51):
Yeah, got him away. I like, what you know, Gladys
Russell's now out on the town. Hopefully she finds a suitor.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
My favorite character is Oscar Oscar.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
Oscar gets more involved as it goes on. It's a
good show. Famous said, like they'll be like there's Clara Barton,
there's Oscar Wilde, and like T. Washington, there's Booker T Washington.
That's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
So there's no way you're sitting home like I'm gonna
start watching this by myself.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
What was her name?
Speaker 2 (39:18):
What was her name?
Speaker 5 (39:19):
Going? There's no blushing, I'm telling you it was I
watch I really like HBO Max probably my favorite of
the apps. I turned it on. They I just kept
seeing it. Then I was like, all right, one episode,
I'm CONFU. You seem to know a lot, you seem
to know more than me. Matt got, that's a really
good point. You know, how do you know? Booker t
(39:40):
We's that's halfway through season two.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
That's right, I'm right the halfway through season two.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
So that means you're watching.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
You told us that you hooked us, you got us
excited about it, watch it.
Speaker 5 (39:50):
But if you're all the way through season two, that
means you clearly like it enough to keep watching.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Because Yoga Girl loved it. It is a chicken Girl
is halfway.
Speaker 5 (39:59):
Through and it's absolutely it's good.
Speaker 2 (40:04):

like dorky Dungeon and Dragons people that play their card games,
and they seem really happy. And I'm I'm I guess
I'm giving you a hard time, but I also think
that's cool. I mean that I'm not y. You realize that.
Speaker 9 (41:17):
No, yeah, no, of course, I mean. Yeah, we we
have a great people and and I'm sorry, actually Saturday
might have been partially our fault too about your parking situation.
We also threw a renaissance there that had like five
thousand people show up.
Speaker 5 (41:29):
So yeah, yeah, people and all the stuff.
Speaker 9 (41:36):
So if i's.

To teach you. Okay, all right, well I'm not sure if.
Speaker 9 (41:54):

I trust your opinion on it. I'm just kidding with you.
I walk by that rep place almost every night on
my walk, and I do think it's very cool. Uh.

think that's neat. Thank you for calling in. Yeah, thanks

Law & Order: Criminal Justice System - Season 1 & Season 2
Season Two Out Now! Law & Order: Criminal Justice System tells the real stories behind the landmark cases that have shaped how the most dangerous and influential criminals in America are prosecuted. In its second season, the series tackles the threat of terrorism in the United States. From the rise of extremist political groups in the 60s to domestic lone wolves in the modern day, we explore how organizations like the FBI and Joint Terrorism Take Force have evolved to fight back against a multitude of terrorist threats.
