Starting point is 00:02:34 Welcome to Hour 2 of Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now, here's Matt Jones. Welcome back, Kentucky Sports Radio, hour number two here at the KS Bar and Grill. Come on in and have lunch. Got some folks already in here on a nice Tuesday after a holiday for some people, not for Shannon, but that's okay. Comp day, Shannon. That's right.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Comday. 859, 280, 2287. Can I do three topics that people wrote about that I want to read the question and then I'll give you the answer. All right, let's go. Let's start with this one. What is Matt, softened the text machine, 772-774-554. What do you think about Liam Cohen going on a blocking spree? Yeah, so Liam Cohen like blocked a number of Kentucky media people, fans like a ton of people.
Starting point is 00:03:26 including Nick Rouse, who was the football beat guy for KSR. I think Luckett might have gotten one too. Oh, luck it got one too. Did Larry Vaught get one? I don't know. I didn't see. I think I saw Larry Vaught maybe. Yeah, he did.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Yeah. Larry Vaught got the block. He got blocked. He got blocked. He won't even know Vod's views anymore. Come on, Liam. How are you not going to know Vod's views? I did not get the block.
Starting point is 00:03:53 I don't think, well, I don't know. Did you get the block? I didn't even look. I don't know. Look, it was a big deal. All media people went to see. A lot of people got a block. I checked.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Shannon, did you get a block? No, the only person that blocks me is Rosie O'Donnell. I'm not blocked by Liam. I forgot that Rosio Donald blocked him. Still don't know why. That's a great mystery. That's the craziest thing, because she follows me and blocked you. I don't get it.
Starting point is 00:04:17 You remember that? So Liam does not block me. Are you blocked? He wasn't even following me. So it doesn't have to follow you. He can block you even if he doesn't follow you. I'm not followed and not blocked. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Well, I was not blocked, so I was glad to see that. But I guess he doesn't like the criticism, Drew, that maybe he took when he left here to go to go somewhere else. I mean, what did he expect, though? You know, I mean, you did the double one and done after saying you're going to plant roots. Of course, some people are going to fire off some jokes on Twitter. Yeah. I don't know, Liam. I would just tell him that if you want to be a football coach, maybe don't let that get to you like it seems to be getting to you,
Starting point is 00:04:55 because that's going to exist anywhere you go for your entire career because those are fans on Twitter. Did he think no one was going to notice? I don't know. He did it all in one day. So it feels like, you know, I'm a, I block. Like, I'm a block. Like, if you're a jerk to me, I'm going to block you just because life's too short to sit and read people being crappy. So on one hand, I understand.
Starting point is 00:05:20 But on the other hand, but a football coach with media members is a little different. He is a little different. And you engage and you're on there. He's just a football coach. Well, he engages too. That's what I'm saying. You don't need to do that. You're a football coach.
Starting point is 00:05:32 I don't know. It's weird to block Rousch, Luckett, and Larry Vaugh. Because those are probably three of the eight or nine people that came to your press conferences the most. You know what I mean? And so to block them, to me, is a really sort of strange thing. I saw a leaked GM where he was getting on somebody for saying he's leaving. But then the time stamp was like the day before he left. So they're like, well, I said you're leaving because you're leaving.
Starting point is 00:05:57 I don't know. It seems weird. Like just you went to Tampa. Remember us. We'll remember you. Let's all go our separate ways. You don't have to keep blocking and DMing people. I'm glad you didn't get blocked.
Starting point is 00:06:07 I was worried about that, that you would have been the one to get blocked. No, I'm worried about his house, though, if it's up for sale again. That house has been up for sale twice in like two years. Why are you worried about it? It's up for sale twice and two years because he's done it twice. It's him both times. I mean, it's not like this is not a mystery. to why it was.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Did he move back into the same house from before? No, I'd say he had a little more money around around. He bought a new house. We need an offensive coordinator house. It's just like you get your key. When you get here, you do a year, the furniture's there. It's already staged. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:38 We get a little car in the driveway. They used to do that at my church. They had a parsonage. Yes. Well, the preacher would live at the parsonage. We need an offensive coordinator parsonage. The way it's changed every year. I think it's a great plan to help lure another.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Did your preacher have a parsonage? Oh, yes. Right now, Shannon, did you have a parsonage? I didn't have one, no. I think we had one. I'll do you one better. When we hired a new pastor out of Russellville, Kentucky, me and my dad went and moved him into his parsonage.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Into the parishage. Is that a normal thing now? Do churches still have parsonages? Maybe in small communities. And what is the word parsonage? Where does that come from? It's maybe a question for John Short. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Why would it be John Short? He knows these kind of things. He knows parsnages? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I would not. heard that word outside of the Middlesboro First Christian Church.
Starting point is 00:07:27 But I feel like KSR needs in person. Let's get that mortgage cover. Let's see what we can do. All right. Second thing, one person writes, Matt, I heard you on the postgame show talking about your hot tub with eight dudes. First of all, don't just say that out of context. Like, it wasn't my hot tub out of eight.
Starting point is 00:07:45 It was a caller. I'd like to know Ryan and Drew's eight dudes in the hot tub. So if you didn't hear this, a guy called him, first. call he's in Gatlinburg with his boy Shannon right yeah yeah they're all just hanging out in Gatlinburg he was like me and my seven buddies were just sitting here in the hot tub listening to you it's a lot of guys from one hot tub it's a lot it better be a that's a big hot tub or a lot of guys right next to each other so I saw a lot I was like oh eight dudes in a hot tub which sounds like a movie right and then a caller later said what seven former UK athletes would you want to share the
Starting point is 00:08:17 hot tub so I picked the male athletes because I think it gets weird if you start mentioning and female athletes. So the male athletes, I mentioned, Ramel, Wu, Mike Pratt, Richie Farmer, Jared Lorenzen,
Starting point is 00:08:37 Max Duffy, and DeMarcus. That's a good group. That was my group. That's a really good group. It was later suggested to me that Mike Pratt would not want to hang out with that group. He wouldn't want to have anything to do with them.
Starting point is 00:08:49 So, but I still am keeping it because I think it would be fun to hear his wisdom. them to that group. So my question for you is, former UK athletes, who are you putting in the hot tub, but then who are you taking out if you put in? My guess is you want to put Dante in. I got to put Dante.
Starting point is 00:09:06 So who are you taking out? Wait a minute. You already do that all the time with Dante. Are you sure you want to waste this experience on another hot tub with Dante? Yeah, he's got to be here. So who are you taking out? DeMarcus. I don't really know him that well.
Starting point is 00:09:17 You're going to take DeMarcus out of the hot tub. Who's going to have better stories than DeMarcus? I don't really know him that will. at all. All right. So who, anybody else you're going to put in? I got to put Ravi in.
Starting point is 00:09:27 So you can put right, who goes out? This just sounds like your backyard. I know. They're in my backyard all summer anyway. So who are you taking out? Oh, I'm going to take out Mike Pratt.
Starting point is 00:09:36 All right. So Mike Pratt and DeMargis are out. Yeah. All right. And then who else? I'm going to have to think a minute. That's because I like your other group a lot with Habel and Wu. I did this exercise as I was listening to you.
Starting point is 00:09:49 If we're not worried about the size of the hot tub, because I got a lot of, got a lot of big guys in here. I had DeMarcus. I had Wu. I wanted to go across generations to combine the stories. So I had Richie. I think I threw in Sunny Collins.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Yeah, I had Sunny Collins. Sunny Collins is in there. If there's anybody that's got hot tub stories. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Okay. I think I had Willie. Yeah, I had Willie in there.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Willie, okay. Willie's got Bahamas stories. We have unfinished business, including money he owes me from the Bahamas. So part of that is just a collector. It's a debt collector. Yeah. We're past the statute of limitations. on that. I think that was it. I had Jared.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Just let me say mine. I had it written down. I have Wu, DeMarcus, Jared, Willie, Richie, Rex. That was my other Reds. Needed some. You keep a Max out? I know. I took more of the approach of you know, I want to talk to him.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Well, I want to take advantage of the situation. Like Ryan's putting people he could go right now and they'd be in his hot tub. I could get Max any time. I wanted more of. I'll tell Max you get left him out of the hot tub. That's all right. Well, there you go. Is there anybody you would put in? Maybe Miles Butler so I could slap them in the face while he's in there.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Other than that, that's probably about it. I love that you slapped it in the face. That's still one of the funnier things that I've seen. All right, so that's second one. Then the third one, and I've been asked this so many times. I just, people keep asking me, Matt, I saw the Trump started selling sneakers. Are you going to buy them? Just for the record.
Starting point is 00:11:20 I think this goes without saying. Of course. not. First of all, $400 retail for a pair of sneakers. Is that what they are? $400? No sneakers outside of like Louis Vuittons are $400. Like Jordans and all that, they end up going on
Starting point is 00:11:35 resale for that, but the retail price. But no, there's zero chance I would buy those. I also wouldn't buy Joe Biden sneakers. I'm not buying presidential sneakers. They're just a little foam slippers. You can get them anywhere. Crocks.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Yeah. I think it wears crocs. A little plastic bag It's the sleeping slippers, I understand But no, I'm not going to buy I cannot believe that whole scenario I mean That he's selling sneakers Like
Starting point is 00:12:06 Well he did the Not crypto What were they NFTs? He did one of those Yeah I mean sold out That what a change If you had told like my grandparents The president would sell sneakers after they were president
Starting point is 00:12:19 Like no one would ever believe it would they're gold. Are they gold? I've not seen a picture. No. They're gold and they have the American flag. You've got to be here. It's not even about him.
Starting point is 00:12:32 I just don't know where I would wear gold sneakers. Oh, my goodness. I have a pair of Kobe's that are gold. That gold? Those are gold. Not that gold. Not that gold. Not that, no.
Starting point is 00:12:42 But so no, I'm not going to. I saw somewhere I was trying to look it up that it said what you bought that image may not be the actual sneaker. It was like it ships months from now, and this is like an image. Well, there's only doing a thousand of them. So, like, I'm sure they'll end up being worth money because if there's only a thousand, and there'll be a thousand people that want them. Oh, yeah. But no, I'm not going to buy the seats here.
Starting point is 00:13:09 And then the last thing, Rich Skangarillo, former UK offensive coordinator, was hired by the Vegas Raiders, which means he's going to be living in Vegas. Now, I just want to remind you of something, Shannon. Yeah. Do you remember when he got hired here when Vince Mero came on this show? Do you remember that? Vangley. Do you remember what he said?
Starting point is 00:13:33 Oh, no, I don't remember what he was sitting right in this seat. And I said, tell me about Rich Scangerell. And like, he did the whole thing. He's an offensive mind, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I think I said something, well, you know, he kind of looks like a nice guy. It looks maybe a little nerdy. And he goes, well, you ain't seen him in Vegas. Oh, my.
Starting point is 00:13:50 You remember he said that. And now he's going to live there. He's going to be the quarterbacks coach in Vegas. So I'm just saying the Skang Gang, watch out Vegas. Here it comes. The Skang Gang is back. When I saw this news, that's the first thing I thought of because I'd heard, like when Rich first got here, the first thing I heard about him is he's a Vegas.
Starting point is 00:14:10 He likes to have a good time on the weekend in Vegas. Let me. Off the record, everyone would tell you he's a wild man. And I would look at him, Shannon, and go. What? No way. That dude. And they'd be like, dude, wild man.
Starting point is 00:14:28 And now it's on record. And now, well, no. I mean, Vince hinted that on the show. Yeah. But now he's in Vegas. Can you believe that? Sounds like a perfect setting for him where he wants to. Maybe that's where he'll thrive now and stay there for a while.
Starting point is 00:14:43 He's home. Is he going to do like a LeBron? I'm coming home article? Well, good luck to Rich Skagarillo in Vegas. with the quarterbacks for the Raiders. Who's next, Shannon? Donnie. Donnie.
Starting point is 00:14:55 How are you, Donnie? Hey, good. Thanks for taking my call. You've already talked about this a little bit. Reeves, because of his shooting ability, no doubt. He's your number one offensive guy, just because he can just shoot the ball. At the end of the game, I think Dillingham, or Wagner, I'm good with either one, has the ball in their hands because they have the ability to create space.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Yes. And I know they've shaken back. They have that first quick step. Yes. And it's all about space. Yes. And Reeves has the ability, he's just continuously moving. But I like that.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Something that really bothers me. And I don't know maybe this is, I'm out of bound here, and maybe you've talked about this. There was a three-point shot, and I've seen this all. You're talking about the Reed Shepard thing, right? Where they called the foul. Yeah, I mean, that shouldn't have been a foul on Reed. But, you know, again, people make mistakes. I am not, like, I don't get outraged about an official making a mistake unless it's a mistake where, like, it transforms the game.
Starting point is 00:16:20 I mean, I can see why the referee thought that was a fact. It was not, but I can see why he did. But remember, sir, we're watching it slowed down at 160th speed, and the official doesn't see that. Matt, we see, I have seen this all year. No, they do. They teach them to do that. They teach them to do that, and they need to stop it.
Starting point is 00:16:45 But the only way they'll stop it is if they change the rule and say, if you kick your leg out, it's an intentional. Now, if you remember, was it Auburn or Texas A&M where we benefited from that? Do you remember that? There was, against Texas A&M, sir, he kicked his leg out and they reviewed it and called it an offensive foul on him. And Rob had just done it and they didn't call it. And Rob had just done it and they didn't call it. So, I mean, we've gotten a benefit of that a couple times too, sir.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Yeah, but it's not good. Either or I hate that. Well, I do too, but that's... But here's why they do it, and I thank you, sir. They do it because they call it. Yeah. You know, I mean, like, if they didn't call it, the guys wouldn't do it. But it's tough.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Like, I can see why in the moment when you kick your leg out, you're going to fall back, and it's going to look like a foul. And I know why guys do it. So maybe they need to get to where they always replay those, but then we're sitting there and waiting, and everybody hates that, right, you know? And it seems like we're seeing it. more and more. It's like players are starting to do it more and more. So I don't know how you're going to stop it by going to the monitor and making it a technical and people just don't want to,
Starting point is 00:17:55 you know, they don't want to do it. And Rob does it all the time. Rob kicks his leg out. Buzz was hot in that game when Rob does it all the time. Now he doesn't always get the call, but he does it all the time. Hey, this Valentine's, why does it still say Valentine's Day?

Starting point is 00:19:02 Where are you all from? Mount Sterling in the house. Yeah. Mount Sterling. Moco. Moco. That's exactly right. 859-280-2287. One person writes, Matt, you know if there were Obama shoes you would buy you liberal? No, I would not. I'm not buying presidential shoes.
Starting point is 00:19:22 I have lines. I will buy bad bunny shoes, but I'm not buying William Henry Harrison shoes. Oh, I'd wear some Harrisons. Would you? I did like... Who do you think would have the best shoes if you were... Probably Obama would have the best shoes, right?
Starting point is 00:19:37 You'd think he probably would have... JFKs would be probably very fashionable. Yeah. You wouldn't want to wear, like, George Washington be like, wouldn't. Bill Clinton might have some good kicks. You think in Arkansas? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:49 You think Arkansas, you think feet? I don't know if shoes are the thing you think about when you think about Arkansas, is it? I can't think of a president. He'd rock some cool kicks. The shoes people look like they wore in the 1800s do not look comfortable. DeSantis wears the high hills now. He could release some shoes. Those boots?
Starting point is 00:20:08 Yeah, I think that would be good. 859-280-22. What about Rick Petino throwing his players far under the bus? All the way under the bus. I mean, Rick Petino. Did you see that, Shannon? No, yeah. After the game was basically like, yeah, I'm never doing this again.
Starting point is 00:20:23 This is the worst year I've ever had. I hate these people. Most unenjoyable experience. Of my life. Most unenjoyable experience of his life said the team was unathletic, couldn't guard anybody. And then last night they said, hey, man, you maybe want to like temper that a little bit. And he was like, no. He's to the point in his life where he doesn't care what anybody thinks, right?
Starting point is 00:20:46 What is the age that people get where they're like, I don't care anymore? Is it 70? The point to where you don't have to have a job, I think that's it. But he has a job. But he doesn't have to have it, though, right? He's just doing it for fun. But what is that? There is a point where people get to an age where they're like, it's like when people ask
Starting point is 00:21:05 if, like, Trump or Biden's going to change. No. When you get to that age, you're not changing. I think it's like 70. It seems to be around 70. Yeah. At 70, people are just like, I'm not changing. Yeah, because by then you're retired, more than likely.
Starting point is 00:21:21 You know, your kids are all established. You can just do whatever you want, wherever you want, however you want. Yes. What about, like, have you changed in the last five years on anything when you turned like 50? No, I don't think so. It's coming. You just wake up one day and you're just mad at things. Is that how it works?
Starting point is 00:21:42 I guess. I feel like I still change quite a bit. Like, I changed my battery. on my smoke alarm. That was something I wasn't used to be able to do. Thank you, sir. You're welcome. I take all the accolades for that.
Starting point is 00:21:53 When was your last oil change? I need one. Well, we know that, but when was it? I didn't want to ask you something. I drove by your house the other day, and all your neighbors had their trash cans out. I didn't have any trash. His trash was in their cans.
Starting point is 00:22:09 They had enough room. No, but you are. You're growing. No, I mean, I mean, I'm slowly but surely learning how to do basic things. Yeah, good for you. I need to do something right now. I think my car's, like, needs something because it's going left.
Starting point is 00:22:30 It's alignment. I've had that. I think it needs some alignment. It's a quick fix. Yeah, I mean, I just handed somebody. I mean, I'm not going to fix it. But, uh... Get the pinion and the rack and all that.
Starting point is 00:22:43 And then rack and, yeah. I just know, put your hands on your. chest if anything happens. Who's next? Morgan. Morgan. Go ahead, Morgan. Good morning, guys. How you doing? Doing good. Always listen to KSR. Thank you. And watch and listen. So I'm a big fan. Well, thank you.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Love the way the catcher playing now. Looking like a real team and love Swaggy Cowell coming back. All right. My question. I want your opinion, Don, this. Why is Reed Shepard our best 3.50% of shooter stop shooting? Why is he our best three-point shooter? No, why did he stop shooting?
Starting point is 00:23:37 He made at least one on Saturday, I think. I mean, why does any of it if it were up to me, and I appreciate the call, Reeves and Shepard would shoot more, but, you know, he just doesn't. I think should be more sufficient in his shooting. I feel like he passes up open shots a lot, but I don't think Cal's telling him not to shoot. He's got to decide Drew to do it, you know? I almost wonder, you know, I don't know what's between Reed's ears,
Starting point is 00:24:03 but he had to take on a bunch of new roles while DJ was out. You know, he's sometimes the lockdown defender. He's bringing up the court. He's facilitating. He's still getting steals. I wonder if maybe he just had so much he's processing that when he does get the ball, he's not being as aggressive as he needs to be
Starting point is 00:24:17 because he has so many roles and he's adding more as each game goes, it seems. I mean, yeah, I see him pass up open shots to give it to somebody who might be more open, but I think I'd rather have him shooting the open shot. The only person I'd, he and Reeves to me, if they're open, shoot, and I'll live with whatever I get. Don't you agree with that? Yeah, and I think Drew said it. I think he took on the new role of point guard and I think became less looking for his shot. I think that'll come now that DJ's back.
Starting point is 00:24:46 He'll get back into that role he was in while DJ was still healthy. But I think that's definitely been a big, you all think you can see it, the change in his attitude on the floor far on the offensive end. Did you see that fight last night, Texas A&M Commerce and an incarnate word? No, I haven't seen that one. It's the worst brawl I've ever seen that didn't have one punch throw. Really? Watch it.
Starting point is 00:25:06 I'm going to look at it. Shannon, watch it during the break. They are brawling. I didn't know if it was a brawl or a celebration. I didn't tell. But nobody throws a punch. I've never seen anything like it. It's very odd.
Starting point is 00:25:16 You need to check it out. We'll take a break. Barry back. KS.R. T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. He'll make them pay. Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Starting point is 00:25:31 I don't know what I'm doing. I wish you all could be here to listen to Ryan Lemon right here. So for people who don't know, Ryan Lemon joined Facebook this weekend. So on Friday, we'll talk more about this in a couple weeks. I'm going to tell you what all's going on over the next few months. But we had to meet him Friday so I could tell these guys what's going on over the next few months. And I said, amongst the things we had to do was everybody had to get on all the social media. Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:59 So if you weren't on Instagram or TikTok or Facebook, you had to get on. And we're all working towards, we're going to try to have all working TikToks and all that. But Ryan wasn't even on Facebook, Shannon. Never ever. So he just got on Facebook, Ryan Lemon. The world is coming to an ad. And you didn't add me as a friend. I thought I just hit the button following you.
Starting point is 00:26:20 What do I have to do here? First of all, you said you couldn't find me. No, I couldn't find you. I thought you were KY Sports Radio. That's not me. I'm Matthew Harper Jones. Now, you're Ryan Lemon. People should add you on Facebook.
Starting point is 00:26:31 You can be their friend, right? Yeah, but how do I... I accepted you at the Bondnet Bridge, so to speak, Facebook Facebook. Thank you. And I made my first post. But then I wondered, why doesn't he add me as a friend? I don't know how. How do I do it from right here?
Starting point is 00:26:45 I already, you got to, hit, right there, respond, confirm. Now we're friends. I had to request you. That's a big moment. That's a big moment. I went and deleted a lot of people off my friends list because you can only have so many. And no offense, I don't know a lot of these people, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:04 So I went and, if I didn't know you and if we didn't share a lot of friends, I unfriended a bunch of people because I thought, you know, maybe there'll be new people on. Like me. But you have to request me as a friend. I don't know how to do that. It's Facebook. Like, grandmas know how to operate. I'm not asking you to like... I've been on it less than 24 hours.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Have you put anything up? Do you have pictures? I posted my first post. I thought I wanted to be something really, really special. So it's Shannon, face down on the mat, and me pointing and laughing at him. Did you make a profile picture? I did. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Yeah. We're in his header photo. You're in my header photo. Okay, good. My favorite part during the commercial break, he goes... Oh, Matthew Harper-Jones. Is that you? Who the hell else would it be?
Starting point is 00:27:50 There can't be any other Matthew Harper-Jones. Like you just met him or something. Yes, there can be. So you're going to get on Facebook. Everyone should ask you to be friends, Ryan Lemon, and you're going to be posting on things. I just want, yeah, this Bond That Bridge, so to speak, group. That's what I want to get in.
Starting point is 00:28:09 But you're already in. I accepted you. Thank you. I did like, Shannon, you know, to get in Bond That Bridge. you have to put two of our sponsors in. Ryan almost got the question wrong. You put Don Franklin Auto. You put Noche Linda, but you spelled it wrong.
Starting point is 00:28:25 How you spelled Noce Linda? Not the way you did it. You had it as Noges A. Nachos. Nacho Linda. She sounds like a nice lady. Food truck outside of Lexington. I am worried about Ryan's Facebook journey.
Starting point is 00:28:40 The fact that you answer spam calls worries to me you're going to be answering messages. Yeah, listen, let me give you something. There's a lot of scams on there. If you see a woman, like, in a bikini sending you a direct message, that's spam. And if anyone asks what street you were raised on and your birthday in. If there is a Drew Franklin or someone you follow, if another person with that name write you in the messenger and is like, click this, I need bail money.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Don't do that. Okay. It is easy to get scammed on Facebook. On Facebook. And you answer Robo. You're the only person I know that has conversations with Robocons. But just trust me, there is no woman whose Facebook profile is bikini who wants to chat. I got eliminated about 50 friends now.
Starting point is 00:29:30 I saw Eric Daniels as your friend. Answer his messages. Shannon, tell him they don't want to chat. I know you might think they want to chat. They don't want to chat. Speaking of our friends, we did. did kind of hurts one of our friends' feelings. Freddy needs to be in the hot tub.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Freddy's got to be in the hot tub. I don't know how you forgot. Yeah. Freddy's in the hot tub. Freddy's in the hot tub. Who am I going to kick out? That's a good question. I'm probably going to have to take Mike Pratt out because I didn't think he wanted to be there anyway.
Starting point is 00:29:57 So I think I'll put Freddy in instead of Mike. You already kicked the Mike out. So who are you kicking out? I got to kick. Why don't you kick one of the people that you see every day out of the hot tub? Like Dante. Dante did actually kick them out. Dante did text me.
Starting point is 00:30:10 say, I ain't getting in a hot tub with eight dudes. Perfect. He's out. Easy decision. Dante's out, and now you can have... I want to go back to Petino, though. If you're his players and you read Petino say, this is the worst year of my life, how do you go play again? I don't know how he maintains that locker room after what he said just this past weekend,
Starting point is 00:30:34 where the worst time of his life and the lowest he's ever been as a coach. I mean, dude, it ain't brain surgery. it's basketball, college basketball. Yeah, I mean, I just felt like he was really mean. Like, it's one thing to say our players need to play better. It's another thing to say, you people make me miserable. Yeah. I can already think of some experiences in his life that I know of that were probably more miserable
Starting point is 00:30:57 than coaching that basketball team. So if I were there, I'd be really offended. But really, to the point, you know, I know you're at school and you only have these years, you don't want to throw off your career. But at some point, I'd be like, if it's that bad, Lee, like, I'm not going to play for you if I'm the worst experience of your life. I don't know how he does it. Now, the other thing I'm excited about, Friday night at Manchester Music Hall,
Starting point is 00:31:20 we're doing OVW, and we have the main event, and it's Shannon is in it. Yeah. It is Shannon, and you don't have the sack to be with Joe Mack. That's right. They're wrestling cash flow and Linda Kay, the women's announcer. Shannon, you're going to get beat up by Linda Kay, and you're going to get chopped by cash flow, and I cannot wait to see it.
Starting point is 00:31:45 That's not going to happen, but I look forward to seeing everybody there. It's going to be a sellout crowd, I'm sure as it was last time. Why are you fighting with Linda Kay? I'm not. I don't book this stuff. Why don't you ask yourself?
Starting point is 00:31:56 I didn't do it. I just got the graphic's coming out today. I can't wait to see the graphic. You better hope Joe Mack ate a good breakfast, Shannon, because you're going to get beat up. Joe Mac can just sit there in the corner. I won't even tag him in. man, I'll take care of Linda and cash all by myself.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Cash weighs two, like, two of you. Yeah. And Linda Kay is going to kick your ass. She's little, too. Like Linda Kay is little. She got the sack, face Joe Mack. But she does have enough to face Shail. She should have a move called the Power K here in Lexington.
Starting point is 00:32:31 I think that'd be a good move. For people who don't know, she's the one, like she'll come and she's the announce and she wears, she's going to beat you up. and it's going to be really funny. I'm not going to lie. So people are asking, Haley will be there, Cash, EC3, certified. Certified.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Layla, like pretty much almost everyone. The only person is Shira is recovering from a little injury, so he will not be there. But we will have the, we will have everyone. Get a little boo-boo. The tough guy, Shira's got a little boo-boo. Put a band-aid on and get out there. Tough guy.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Who's next? Let's go to gym. Jen, what's up, Jen? Hey, man, I think they need to take control of their bench. The way Mitchell was throwing up the three goggles and dumping up, every time they showed the bitch, he was the only one running around going crazy. He don't look that injured. Hope he plays at LSU.
Starting point is 00:33:27 And, man, that Fiero dump, I don't know. I don't know how he got up there. That was a great dunk. So what you didn't like? I mean, I love seeing those guys celebrate on the bench. I loved watching Trey Mitchell do all that. Like, why are you, you know, listen, I mean, you can have an injury. And, like, if you hurt your shoulder, your feet still work, right?
Starting point is 00:33:50 Like, I mean, so it's not the case that the, you know, just because his shoulder hurts doesn't mean the rest of his body doesn't work. I don't know, man. He's throwing arms up, down. He's jumping up. I don't know. It doesn't look injured to me, but, hey. Well, I don't think that's fair.
Starting point is 00:34:06 I know. Exactly. I mean, I say this with respect. but you aren't a doctor, and I can see, you know, I appreciate the call. I mean, he hurt his shoulder. He's going to play probably again before the end of the year. I'm not, I did love seeing him talk trash and all that, Drew. I thought it was great.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Yeah, perfect timing on the broadcast after a do is dunk. They went to Trey, a couple other times through the game. It's just another example. The TV doesn't always catch this, but that is a lively bench cheering for each other during these games. Trey being hurt was just another example. Hey, with all eyes now on college basketball in the NBA, it's time for you to get in on the action with Draft King's Sportsbook, an official sports betting partner of the NBA.
Starting point is 00:34:42 Remember, if you sign up, use promo code KSR, you get one no sweat bet up to $1,000. That's incredible. Now, if you do that, folks, let me be clear. You sign up with KSR now, if you haven't signed up before. You get one bet, the first one, and they'll refund it up to $1,000 if you don't win. But it's the first.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Yeah. So like, if you just do a dollar, you only get a dollar. So just keep that in mind with the no. sweat bet up to $1,000 if your first bet loses, use the code KSR. If you have a gambling problem, call 1-800-Gamber, 18 plus, physically present, Kentucky, one no-sweet-bet, new sweat-bet, no-cubs.
Starting point is 00:35:16 The issue is one bonus bet, but bonus bets expire, 168 hours after issuance, deposit, wagering, and eligibility restrictions, apply, terms of sportsbook.dravkings.com. Dot,com.com slash promos. That's your beatboxing. You nailed that one.
Starting point is 00:35:33 By the way, I talked about a bad beat. I had a good beat last night. Iowa State Houston. Did you see the end of the game? No. Spread was nine. Yeah. I had Iowa State down eight.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Okay? They come down, and I thought they were going to throw up a three, Shannon, which would have been bad. Yeah. They'd go for a layup. They get fouled, right? Oh, no, excuse me. Sorry, let me say it.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Houston was up 10. Iowa State gets fouled. They go. They shoot two free throws, cut it to eight with 20 seconds to go. Now, I'm like, they're going to foul. Yeah. They decide not to foul and let the clock run out. That's a good beat.
Starting point is 00:36:07 But normally with 20 seconds, you would think, well, they'll definitely foul. Did not foul. I was just a cyclone. I was cloning. I was happy. That scenario is exactly why college basketball and college football are so different. The final seconds can change it. It's so different with free throws and most like that ball.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Both those teams are tough physically. They can't shoot. Well, they did in the second half. First half, I would say, had like six points with 10 minutes in. But they are physically, those are teams that will beat you up. Did you have any money on the Virginia game last night? No, Virginia, man. They have 41 points?
Starting point is 00:36:44 How do you root for Virginia? It's like watching paint dry. They scored like, what, 40 at the end of the game? They barely cracked 40. Had like 16 and half that. I think I saw that in the last 60 minutes of game play or something, they'd scored like, something like 62 points. They've scored like a point of minute.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Golly. It's like Iowa football. You know you're winning. That can't be fun. Stop pretending. It's got to be awful. It has to be so boring. We'll take a break.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Be right back. KS. To talk to Matt Jones and the crew, call the Clark's Pump and Shop phone line at 859-28027 or 1-800-606-4263. And send us the Kentucky brandit tweet of the day by tweeting Matt at KY Sports Radio. Yeah, blooded. Dooby-Doo-Doo. Welcome back.
Starting point is 00:37:31 It is. What are you laughing at? Is Kentucky Sports Radio? I'm just seeing, and they're redistricting right now in the state. They're putting out all the new redistricts, I guess, for Middlesbril bounces back from A and B, A and B. I think maybe we're back to A now. We just keep going back and forth. I don't know how that happens.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Take a side. I don't know what I'm B. A and 2A. Yeah, you're talking about KHSAA classes. Yeah. What was that? What did you think I was talking about? like gubernatorial
Starting point is 00:38:02 classes. Okay, yeah, the gubernatorial ones. 859-280-2287. Text machine is 7-7-2-7-4-5-254. Did you watch any of the NBA All-Star stuff? The only thing I really wanted to see was a slam dunk contest. Didn't see any of the game or anything else. Jacob Topping got screwed. He did.
Starting point is 00:38:21 He and Matt McClung were by far the two best, but they made Jalen Brown go ahead. And Jacob Toppins' dump between the legs was maybe the best one in the night. Yeah, I mean, the dunk contest is in a decline, and that didn't help it at all. It was clear. I know Topin's not the name of a Jalen Brown. That's probably why they did it, but it was so obvious that was the better dunk. Yeah, wouldn't you have liked to have seen Toppin and McClung go at it?
Starting point is 00:38:44 And McClung is still very impressive because he's short and all the things he can do. But Jaylon Brown was just out there. Shannon, he was just like, like the one, he didn't even cover his eyes until he landed on the ground. Yeah, Jacob Topping was between the legs, 360. Like, you can't beat that. They literally, Jalen Brown went, dunked it, then covered himself over and be like, yeah, now what? That was so awkward when he did that. He didn't cover his eyes until he already landed.
Starting point is 00:39:11 And they gave him like a 49 for it. And then he jumped, he took a dude that was three feet tall and made him sit in a chair, and then he jumped over him. He took the shortest guy out there. It used to be one of my favorite events. It was just so bad now. I mean, McClung is impressive because he's tiny, but they're, really hasn't been any memorable moments in the last several years. I do like, I did like the staff versus Sabrina.
Starting point is 00:39:35 That was kind of cool. I got some interest. I didn't see it, but I know they got a lot of interest. And I enjoyed watching all the, I like the, the game itself is unwatchable. I watched every minute of it. Did you really? I agree, though. It's unwashed board.
Starting point is 00:39:47 It was like open gym. If we went to the seat and center on campus right now and just picked up a basketball and started shooting, it'd be about the same level of competition. You got guys have to try or you cannot watch people just run up and down the course. And like it's not interesting. I think the players think it's interesting, but it's not. And all they're doing is shooting threes, which is also not interesting. I love that in a competitive game.
Starting point is 00:40:07 But like I said, it's like they were just taking open shots. They set the record for threes made and threes tried by like 20. It wasn't even close. All they did was shoot threes three-quarter court. But that's, yeah, it didn't even a good shot. But that's also like, like, okay, so what? I don't know that that's, I mean, is that what you want to see dudes just shoot from three-quarter court?
Starting point is 00:40:29 No, it's just like it's their backyard pickup game. But that one hit like the top corner of the backboard. Everybody looked at him like, what the heck was that? I also did enjoy, though, during that game, Shannon, they had Dremont Green and Charles Barclay, making fun of each other, right? And it included, Charles Barkley goes, hey, Dremont, you know who was asking about you? And Dremont goes, who? And Barkley goes, nobody.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Dremonts are done laughing, dude. I thought that one. That was such a basic put down, but I really thought it was funny. Nobody. I will say it was, as boring as the game was, it was cool seeing so many Kentucky players. I mean, Carl had 50 points. He wasn't the MVP, but he had 50 in that game. And then we say it all the time, but just seeing Shea out there with the stars of the NBA,
Starting point is 00:41:19 my brain still can't process that the kid that was, you know, ranked 30th or whatever, coming to UK is now one of the best players in the league, but he fits. I posted a picture and people mocked what I wrote because I said, like, this is an amazing group of talent. But the West team has to be like next to the dream team the best association of players to be on a court together on a team. I mean, just think about who's on that team. This is one team. One team. Anthony Davis, Kauai Linder, Paul George, Luca, Steph, Yokic, LeBron, Booker,
Starting point is 00:41:57 Durant, Carl Towns, Anthony Edwards, and Shay Alexander. That's insane. That is a stupid group of talent. I mean, just think about, like, there are seven legends on that team. Durant, LeBron, Yokic, Steph, Luca, Kauai, Anthony Davis. Those are seven, like, put them in the Hall of Fame tomorrow, guys. Right? Forget about the rest of their career.
Starting point is 00:42:27 That's like that's And then so I posted that and people were like Well it's an all-star team what do you think The East didn't look like that The East was not the same Like the East won the game But the East like this is an historic Group of players isn't it
Starting point is 00:42:43 I don't even put Paul George in that conversation Too he doesn't have quite the Accolades and trophies as those guys But that's another dude And Booker will probably end up there at some point You know I just thought that was a crazy Group of people who's next year Let's go to Jeff.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Jeff, how are you, Jeff? Thank you, fellas. Hey, guys, doing well. I want to bounce a theory off you. So going into the Auburn game, thought Edwards kind of controlled the ceiling at his best version for a championship run, and then Addu Thiero entered the chat.
Starting point is 00:43:15 And I'm beginning to see those two, like Miller and MKG. I wonder if you all see that. And what does that do with Mitchell and how it's like? Well, they're a lot. I mean, they got a long way to go. but Edwards is, I appreciate the call, important. If he can become a good defender, which he's doing better every game, that is a big, big positive difference.
Starting point is 00:43:37 And he's done that. I think we've seen him get to be a better defender as the season's gone on. He's definitely better on the offensive end the last month or so. But the caller's right. When Mitchell comes back, Mitchell's got to be on the floor. So who do you sit? Yeah, I don't know. Hey, if you're looking to expand your professional network,
