Welcome to Hour 2 of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones. Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-28027 here at the KS Bar and Grill. We are now open and ready to rock. We got Ryan, we got Drew, and we are doing our thing here on a beautiful day.

beautiful day here in Lexington, Kentucky. I'm amazed at the comments coming in on the text machine about the Botox. Apparently, I guess I'd heard of this, but I didn't make the connection in my head. People have Botox parties where everyone comes to someone's house and they bring in a person to shoot Botox in everyone's faces. Yeah, that sounds safe. I don't want to be a part of that. Yeah, I don't think I do either. One person writes, Matt, there's a school in Louisville, I won't say which one, where while you're waiting to pick up your kids, people walk around and will give you Botox.

No, my goodness. No way. That can't be right, Shannon. That cannot be right that you can pull up to the school lane and get shot with Botox in your face while you're picking up your school. I've never heard that, but I wouldn't doubt that it's true. Do you think that's true? Like soccer moms probably would be the... First of all, let's guess what school?

Christian Academy of Louisville. it's not a bad guess if you were going to guess which one it was maybe like one of the like assumption or sacred heart I don't know it's hard for me to believe though if you can't go pick up your kid at school without needing to quit Botox shot but you know if you're a young entrepreneur

that's not a bad gig to do just go down the car line squirt you're asking for a lot of liability there don't go walking around squirting people all right that's not what we're going to do at any at any lot, any lot. Let me ask you, Botox is like a live being, isn't it? I don't know. Sounds good.

This feels like a topic, we'll be experts on. I think Botox is like a, it's something, what is it? It's a toxin, but it's, it's alive, right? Like, it's a, I don't know. I know you can get it like. It's alive. What you think of the tree animals in you? Look up what Botox is. Just look up what it is.

It's like some sort of bacteria. Botox is a drug. drug made from a toxin produced by the bacterium, claust or d, words I can't say. But it is a, it's not dead, right? Like, it's a live bacterium. You're shaking your head. Does that, is live not a word to use with bacteria? It's fair.

Okay, that's right. It's like a live bacteria. Like, it's, I don't want to say it's crawling, because that makes it seem like it's an animal, but it's, I don't know, it's active. Yeah, it's like running around and dancing when it's in your face, I think. Well, I think I'm good on that. I'll pass. It's supposed to like what? Like fill in wrinkles, but people now are using it for migraines.

Like guys are getting it for migraines. I think people do. I think it actually does both. I do know. People will get it for migraines. I'm not saying it's not a good thing to get. I'm just saying I'm not doing it in a school line while I'm listening to the radio. You're going into someone's home. Yeah.

Well, there's your medical advice for today. Did you see that Jason Kelsey lost his Super Bowl ring in a vat of Chile in Cincinnati? I got to hear this story. Really? Yes. Was he at a restaurant or was he at someone's house? I didn't see the specifics. I don't know.

Somehow he had a vat of, he was working on like either eating chili or looking at chili and his ring fell off into the chili and he didn't realize it. And then they threw the chili away. Oh, my goodness. He thinks the ring is gone forever. Oh, no. It's, I have the story here. was an inflatable tub of Skyline Chili, and it was part of their, uh, the brothers have an event

that they hold at Cincinnati. So it was a skyline? An inflatable tub of it, according to the story. Wow. And they threw out, they threw it out? They had a bunch of replicas in there, and then one actual Super Bowl ring with like the real one. And they couldn't find the real one.

Oh, so it didn't fall off. Okay. No, they intentionally put it in there. I see. So he put his actual ring in there along with replicas and whoever got it. whoever got the real one won the prize and then they couldn't find the real one. That's right. Yeah.

Wow. No one would have left that property until that ring turned up. We would have had everyone on all fours looking for that. That's what I'm saying. At some point you just give up and say, well, I guess it's not there. You know it's in there. Yeah, I appreciate the idea of doing the contest. But I think I would have still used a replica of the real one.

I don't think I would have put my real ring in there just for the chance you might lose. it, right? Right. How stupid. I'm sweating just thinking about this story, man. One of those rings costs like $20,000 or something? Probably. And he'll get another one.

He'll get another one, but it'll never be the original one. Have you, I feel like, and I have no basis for this, but I feel like you've come close at some point in your life to losing your wedding ring. Have you? I was one of those guys. I just never took it off. Never took it all. That's good.

I just felt like you would have been somebody who misplaced it or something, but you never did that? No. No, I've lost my Kentucky Wesleyan and NCAA baseball tournament ring. That's too bad. That was hard to replace. I found it, but I felt I lost it for several years. Well, good. Well, anyway, Kelsey loses it in Skyline Chili.

I'm literally sweating, just thinking about that. He seems like the typo that might just laugh that off and appreciate having that story more than the actual ring. They seem silly enough to be like, oh, lost my ring. Well, they probably both. Both are now, I mean, financially in a sense where if he wants another one, he can get it if he wants. You know who's loving it is Skyline Chile getting all the extra advertising. Skyline Chile getting a ton of advertising. Who's up next?

Zach, go ahead, Zach. Yes, sir. Good morning, everybody. First time, long time. Who are? What's up? All right, so a couple questions. First one is going to be on the rumors with Jones and the NIL deal.

Do you think this is going to kind of force kind of putting a salary cap on that? No, because you can't, so the legalities of all this are very complicated, but this is how I understand the law as it is today, but I want to put the caveat that it could change because so the reason there's a salary cap in the NBA, the NFL, baseball, etc. is because the players collectively bargain with the owners. And the players say, if you give us this, we will let there be a salary cap. Legally in life, in America, you can't have a salary cap unless Congress tells you. So like, for instance, I can't have a salary cap along with other restaurants on what we pay restaurant workers. That's not allowed. The reason baseball, basketball, and football and Ford and all these people can do it is they collectively bargain.

Well, in college sports, there's no mechanism to collectively bargain. There's no way for the players to have a union and to bargain. So until that happens, I think any attempt at putting a salary cap on NIL will be considered illegal. The only way that can change is if Congress passes a law that says in the area of college sports, there will be a salary cap. Now, in my opinion, sir, that'll happen one day. At some point, Congress will do that. But until they do it, any attempt to put a salary cap, I think, will be found illegal under the law. Gotcha. Gotcha. Second question real quick also. With a do with a deucey arrow looking at, you know, testing the NBA waters, how far down do you

think he needs to drop, you know, in the draft before coming back to Kentucky's more enticing and the better option? I appreciate the call. I think. think coming back to college is going to be the better option for a do theero because he is not going to get drafted but at the same time i don't know drew does he just want to play in the pros sometimes guys want that and then even if he comes back what makes you think he's going to come to kentucky right right like he can go anywhere else so i would be very very surprised if a du thiero plays for kentucky next year yeah and i think uh if he goes to all the testing he'll put up good numbers in the NBA, and if he goes back to college and takes another big step, he might be a guy that is on

the boards big time next summer, but I don't know where he'll go in college. I think he's got some potential to make a big jump with another year, but I don't know if it'll be in like that. And didn't he get in the portal before Cal left? He did. That's what makes it interesting to me. So like that. They put out like 20 schools that they're in contact with. Yeah, so I kind of, I'm, I would be surprised if a do even ends up at Arkansas. Right. Like I would, I would assume that he just ends up in a different school altogether. Well, I mean, his dad wasn't quiet on Twitter, and it might have been a cow thing. You know, they weren't, they didn't love playing time.

I think if you just looked at his dad's tweets and how things were run, so it might be, heck, Lexington might be more attractive now. We don't know what's going through his head, but he was quick to get that portal when the season ended. Yeah, there were a lot of schools he was in contact with. There were a couple guys who weren't thrilled with things last year. You know, he's one of them. Well, he thought he was better than Justin Edwards, and he wasn't getting those minutes that he thought he should get.

And there's another guy that came off the bench that thought he was better than some of the people that were playing. So that's why I don't think, I mean, Cal got Z, but I don't know how many dudes that were on the team last year. I mean, do you think Aaron Bradshaw's going to go to Arkansas? He went to Ohio State. I'm sorry, you're right. That's right.

DJ Wagner. He'll probably end up with DJ Wagner will go. I think DJ Wagner will go there. But that Jordan Burr, I don't know where he'll end up, maybe. I kind of think those are going to be the only two to go to Arkansas, are DJ Wagner and Z. And his freshman class, I mean, you've got. They're not going to all go. Well, Jaden Quaintens was the prize in that.

He's looking at other schools, including Louisville, Boogie. Billy Richmond will go. Yeah, he's got the Cal. Billy Richmond will go. But the thing about Boogie Fland is I'm not sure if he'll go to the same school DJ Wagner goes. That, and if Boogie Flan and Jaden Quaintons don't follow Cal, those were two of the big prizes in that class. I mean, if he ends up with Sompto, Billy Richmond, and Carter Knox. Yeah, I mean, those are still guys with some potential,

but that's not the one and done that I think you need to succeed. Would you rather Jaden Quaintens go to Louisville or Arkansas if those were the two choices? Because I think those are two of the three or four choices, which one? I don't want baby Mark Pope in Louisville getting some good momentum to start his career. So I'd rather-I'd rather Cal just keep Quatins than Louisville getting some momentum. What about you? Yeah, that's a good argument. You don't want Louisville to get anybody good.

I want them to stay dead. Yeah. I mean, you know, 12 wins over two years. He's got a lot of pressure to top that. Yeah, I would say Arkansas too. I think that I'm kind of with you. I don't want to see Kelsey get it going. Yeah.

And Clayton's would help him doing that. Who's next? Jason. Jason. Go ahead, Jason. Hey, what's going on, guys? What's up? I grew up in Eastern Kentucky.

I live in Louisville now, so I appreciate you taking up for that area. of state. Also, my kids go to Christian Academy of Louisville. I called in before, I was already on the line before the Botox stuff. So, um, do you think it's, is it, do they do that at Christian Academy of Louisville? Do they shoot you up with Botox while you're in line? I can verify I've never seen that happen person. Okay. Fair enough. Good. All right. We'll scratch that school off. Yeah, the only thing we did up there is win football championships. Yeah, cheaters. All right, but go I'm kidding. I'm just kidding. I have no basis. Anyway, I mean, I got so many comments, like I said.

I just, yesterday was listening to the show, I was thinking we need to stop talking about Mormons because people are going to think we're a Mormon school now at UK. Might lose some recruits that way. I'm kind of joking, but I was like, man, all this Mormon talk, I hope it doesn't run anybody off. Anyway, I don't think, I don't know that. I mean, we're not, we're not implementing Mormon requirements here. So I don't think like, I don't see Mark Pope saying no, no women at UK. I don't think that's going to happen. So I don't, I don't really think having that connection will hurt. I was just trying to stem the tide with that. My main question was, what do you think draft night is going

like? I mean, Rob's going to be fascinating. I don't know. It's going to be fascinating. May go. I'm talking about for Cal will be noticeably absent or will he be like Count his guys like Let's talk about that for me I appreciate the call I'm going to be in Europe so I won't get to

watch it you are going to have to tell me Cal so the two guys Only two of our guys will get invited into the green room will be Rob and Reed I don't think even if other guys go in the draft they won't be in the green room

my inclination is cow would go and sit with read but at the same time Jeff is going to want to help Mark so is Mark sitting there too I'm not saying cow wouldn't sit with Rob that's a little harder for me to see for a variety of reasons I know Cal will support him but would he be at the table I don't know. What do you think happens on draft night? I think he will absolutely be there to support those two guys.

But who's inviting him to sit? That's the question. Where will he sit? I think he'll probably bounce back and forth between the two tables. Is he wearing Arkansas gear? He'll wear a red tie or red something, I believe. I don't know. But I think he'll be there to show his support.

So will Mark Pope be there? He was never his coach. He's not the coach. He's also good friends. I mean, like, he's no roommate since he was born. Well, yeah, but he still wasn't his coach. I mean, you think he's just going to invite everybody that was a friend of his dad into the green room because he was friends? Well, so not that.

Jeff could help Mark by putting him in that room and just having him on TV. If Mark Pope, if Jeff invites Mark to sit there, that would help Mark. Is it up to Jeff, though, or is it up to read? I mean, it would be up to read. That's what I'm saying. I don't know. I would assume. Cal will be there, Pope will not.

I assume that also. If I was going to make the prediction, it would be Cal sitting at Reed's table. That's my prediction. But I also won't, I don't know. I mean, no scenario would surprise me. I don't know how strong their personal relationships are right now. The Pope Shepard things, if I kind of find it hard to believe Cal would be at that table, just because you're, he's the Arkansas coach.

I think it'll be interesting. Hey, sound the trumpet, Shannon. Oh, that's my cue to, like, play a trumpet or something? Yeah, that's what, because when we do this, I say sound the trumpets, and then if you don't sound them, then I just, thank you very much. All right. It's horse racing time, and D.K.

Welcome back. It is KSR 859-280-2287. Text machine 772-774-5254-Botox. By the way, stands for botulism toxin. Did you know that, Shannon? No, botulism is like a food, like illness, isn't it? Botulism? I don't know.

I think it is. That's the food poisoning or something. That's the Botox. See, you learn something new here every day. Can I tell you what I'm not ready for, right? I'm ready. I am doing the official postgame show for every round of the NFL draft. Oh, nice.

Right in your wheelhouse. No. I was going to spend the last two or three weeks studying, but I've been a little distracted. Yes. And I'm not ready. It's coming up, too. The ESPN is sending me today their like 300-page packet of NFL draft information, and I'm not ready.

I mean, I'm excited about it because it's cool. It's a good opportunity for me and Myron, but I don't know any of these people. Lean heavily on Myron. Luckily, I just have to do rounds one, two, and three. So, but round two and three is the one I'm worried about. Well, given the current projection, sounds like a big opportunity for Andrew Phillips. Yeah, you'll know in that area. So Kentucky has three guys now projected in round three or four.

Drew Phillips, Trevin Wallace, and Ray Davis. Drew Phillips is like creeping up to maybe even getting into the second round. The athletic has him in their big one, and they do a good one. They have him in the second round. So how about that? You know, I remember thinking the same thing about Carrington Valentine. Man, I didn't even think he should go pro. He ends up going high, now he starts for the Packers.

I thought the same thing about Drew Phillips, man. I'm like, why is he going pro? They're obviously proving me wrong because he's going to be a high draft pick. ESPN has Trevon. ESPN says this is an historically weak draft for linebackers, but has Trevin Wallace is the fifth best linebacker in the draft? Wow. No kidding.

I mean, both of those guys, if you'd said that this time last year, we'd be shocked. But with Andrew Phillips, Kentucky's got a little bit of a DVU going on with the fight. It's crazy to say that for Kentucky football to have cornerbacks and safety is going to the league. But that marks been pretty consistent. Yeah. And not just guys that go in and get a sniff at it. I mean, there's guys that are longtime starters at this point. Mike Edwards has two Super Bowl rings.

Lonnie Johnson's been in the league for a long for a lot. Lots of guys. Chris Westry played forever. He'd keep finding a way on. Even like a Brandon Eccles just recently, a few years ago. So anyway, I got to learn something, Shannon, because I know the top three quarterbacks. I think there's a guy named Kool-Aid. Yeah.

We got, who else? The Harrison, the wide receiver. Marvin Harrison, Jr. J.J. McCarthy. Yeah. Don't forget Caleb Williams and his fingernails. Cat Williams. No, Caleb Williams. No, Caleb Williams. I know the three major quarterbacks. Caleb Williams, Jalen Daniels, and Drake May. That's at the start. You're rolling now. Joe Alt. That'll be my Titans.

Who's Joe Alt? He's a tackle. We need a tackle to protect Will Levis. I'm going to say him a lot. Joe Alt. Notre Dame. Isn't there a guy? Yeah, that's the extent of my knowledge. Don't give away all your secrets because you don't just do your whole radio show now. Yeah, Byron may be listening. Stealing all your lines. Brock Bowers at Georgia. There's four guys.

Look at this expert. Were you at the Combine? Who's something? How do you can know all these people? Brad. Who's up next? Brad. Go ahead, Brad.

Hey, good morning, fellas. Good morning. Just a little scuttle, but on a premier shooter from the Northeast, NYC area. just out of respect for the kid and a very close friend of mine that I sat down and had some time with yesterday. A lot of outlets are reporting that he's staying in the northeast from what I got out of the time. You're speaking way too vaguely. Just let me bring it down to you.

Are you saying there's a kid from the northeast that will be coming to Kentucky? Possibly. But possibly is not an answer. Like, is Kentucky talking to him? Well, yeah. I mean, it's already out there. But what I'm saying is, I mean, easily you can find out. He's from New York City.

All right. So hang on. From New York City, he's a shooter. He's one of the best three-point shooters in the country. Last year? Okay. In college basketball? And you're saying you think Kentucky's got a good shot at him?

Yes, and let me tell you why. So my good friend was a transplant from New York City. He's been in the area for over 20 years. I'm from Louisville. Okay, I just got 30 seconds. You're going to have to make it. I don't mean him. I'm rolling.

Anyways, he spent time in Lexington, my friend. And anyways, the kid value, he's a very faith-based kid, and he values the kind of lifestyle in the Midwest. He really likes it. So this is, just to be clear, this is a guy that played college basketball last year in the Northeast and was one of the best three-point shooters. No, no, no, no. No, he was in a Midwest school. Okay.

I'm going to let you go. He's in the Midwest school from the Northeast, one of the best three-point shooters. He thinks he's going to Kentucky. Figure out who that is, Drew. We'll be right back. I'm on it. Jay Smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. He'll make them pay.

Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones. All right, welcome back, Techie Sports Radio. All right, so let's go over the context clues that guy gave. Besides, he was having lunch with his friend. He said that the kid was one of the best three-point shooters in the country last year. Yes. He's from the northeast.

Yes. Everybody thinks he's staying in the northeast. But he went to school in the Midwest. and now I think the kid's going to go to Kentucky. A lot of you are writing a description of who this could be. Let's see if you agree with this. Kobe Brea, or is it Bray? Brea Breaerah.

The Dayton kid? Because Kobe Brea is from New York. He was a 49% three-point shooter. People think he's going to Villanova or Yukon, and he went to Dayton. And he's already on the list of people UK. He's already been contacted, right? Yeah. So what do you think?

Does that sound like? like that might be the right description there? I thought it was Ramel Bradley for a long time. But, yeah, UK's already contacted that guy from Dayton. That's one we know that. So now this dude, we're going to call him, Shannon, lunch scuttlebutt. Okay. Okay.

All right. Because he had lunch with a person. And so he says this is happening from lunch. Lunch scuttlebutt says Kobe Brea to UK. We'll find out whether you can believe, Drew, the things you hear at lunch. Also, I'm thinking Dayton's not that far away. You could easily have lunch with someone from Dayton if you're a Kentuckian. You know, the Midwest is so big.

He said he had lunch with his dad. Oh, with his dad. Well, still, dad might be close to Dayton. I just like that it's a school near the bluegrass adding to it. I looked up a kid I thought was it. And then I pulled him up, and he attempted zero three pointers last season. So I'm going to scratch him off my wrist. But he was from New York and Kobe Bryant shot 49%.

That's good. That would seem to make sense. Yep. The early chatter has been northeast. Mario, I feel like now we just got to see his lunch, Scuttlebutt, correct. You know, usually when you get something like that, there's usually a little truth in there. You know, it may not be completely true, but there's always felt there's a little nugget of truth in there. Speaking of Scuttlebutt, I have a source who has just written me.

Who told you the big secret of women in the carpool lot getting at Christian Academy of Lexington getting Botox? So I wrote them and I said, is it true? This was a response. There is a girl who does it. I knew it. She's an allergist, and then there's more details that I will not say. So there you go. I knew it.

So how about that? Not only did someone, that was scuttle butt that was true. That's true. This is someone that's in the carpool lots who has written and told me. This happens a lot, but right now I think about the people who are like, I want to learn more about Pope. I'm going to turn on KSR. I'm just going to fill out what they're talking about in Kentucky. Let me ask you something.

And we're talking about Botox. you're going to remember what is going to be more remembered from this show you think you're going to remember what we said about these players no are you going to remember that when they're waiting to pick up kids at christian academy of louisville they're getting botox shots absolutely i'm going to remember it i think every time they make a state championship i'm going to be like hey come to ks bar we have somebody outside giving boatops you know you ted drew and i could do schedule whatever we want for the two months you're in your We're not doing Botox here.

We are not. We're not having a KS. Botox party. Free Botox for the first 50 people. That's right. By one meal, get a Botox here. Ten wings and Botox. Ten wings. It's Botox Day.

Taylor Swift Trivia tonight, by the way, Botox Free this evening. Who's next, Shend? Grassy Creek. Grassy Creek. How are you, grassy Creek? Boys, I'm doing the best. I think a lot of you boys, Matt, you've always been pro-eastern Kentucky. We need to call the dollar store, folks, to combat Jerry, the chicken people in Walmarts. That's true.

You know, dollar stores, people don't know, don't realize Dollar General started in Allen County, Kentucky, and we need to get them to chip in because there's one on every corner in eastern Kentucky. And one last thing, I predict in the next two years you're going to get married, possibly to a Mormon. And you boys have a good day. Wow. Now, that's quite a prediction. My guy says I'm going to get married in two years to a Mormon. Must be a fade this listener.

You were very big on the Mormons on our podcast. I do think Mormons are nice. They're very nice. They're very nice. I don't know that I'm going to marry one, but I do think they're very nice. We'll get used to them. It's going to be a part of our basketball culture for the near future. Yeah.

It's going to be, this is going to be like, we're going to get the best Mormon player in the country. whenever they happen if they want it. I mean, that's going to happen. I'm good with it. Yeah. I mean, Jimbers out there. There's Jimmer. Yeah, that's remember.

Jimmer for debt. What if he had come here? Yes. Danny Age. Danny Age. Danny Age. Brandon Davis was their player earlier. Like I said, Duke had a couple over the years.

I can't remember who they were. But they got a few for a little bit of time. So who else has been good at BYU over the years besides Jimmer? Sean Bradley. Sean Bradley. You know, Everybody makes fun of Sean Bradley. He was really good in college.

He was not a good pro, but in college, he was a really good player. I think he was a decent pro. The problem is, anytime he got dunked on, it just looks so different than everyone else get dunked on. So a lot of his pictures and memories are, he's on the wrong end of place. That's right. Who's up next? Adam.

Adam. Adam. Hey, guys. Just a quick question and a comment. Go for it. If we got rid of the CBS Classic, what's a possibility? picking up the North Carolina series. Possible.

I think that's possible. I said Big 12. It's actually ACC. I said we played a Big 12 game. It's actually now the ACC C.C. SEC challenge. What I could see, sir, maybe more than the CBS classic,

is just they set it up to where Kentucky every year in that SEC, ACC, is either playing Duke or Carolina. I mean, this year we had to play Miami because of both the CBS and Champions Classic. What I think's going to end up happening is eventually they just make the SEC ACC classic where Kentucky's playing Duke or Carolina every year. That's just my guess.

That's cool. You guys were talking about yesterday. Used to wear something embarrassed back in the day. Which one of you wore more Jinkgo jeans? Oh, me. Definitely hand up. Me. Did you really?

Oh, yeah. What is that? You know what that is? They were pants that were so baggy. You could barely walk in them and they were very expensive. But I was a Jinko guy for a feeling. few years. More of a skating culture. I didn't skate. I guess I was a poster. I know what you're talking about. When I worked at, uh, I worked at hearts dry cleaners down on Broadway. And that was

when those things were popular and guys would come in and just get like starch. No, no, they would get those things starch to where they were so stiff. So let like I worked at hearts dry cleaners right there on North Broadway close to the baseball state. Yes. I worked there for two summers. And it was the when people all would get their jeans. It was mostly African Americans would get their genes, starch like as starch-tastic as they could. Like you could break them over your knee. Exactly.

And so they'd come, they'd get the starch, and then all I did, I didn't know how to do anything. I just would take them from the back and walk up and go, that'll be $14. And then people would go, not enough starch. Whoa. And I'd be like, this thing is standing up. on itself.

And they'd go, I need more starch. And I'd have to walk to the back and they'd go more starch. Then they'd come back the next day. There's still not enough starch. So I don't, I have memories of that era. Well, I appreciate that caller. I needed him yesterday. That is definitely my answer when I was trying to think of the embarrassing things I wore.

I think it was seventh grade. And my mom wouldn't even let me get the super baggy wins. And I'd wait until they're on sale. But mine were still pretty dang baggy. Jinkos were a look. Jinkos. I've never heard that phrase. but now I know what I was holding.

Oh, they were gigantic. Yeah. Who's up next? Candy. Candy. How are you candy? Hey, I'm good. I just want to first say that I started watching when Jimmy Dan Connors was playing,

and I have not been this excited about our cat since Rick Petino came. So go back. That's awesome. Good to hear. Yeah, second, I missed the caller, but I heard your response about Eastern Kentucky. I'm from Bell County. Oh, okay. Some of the Old Bell County family, the Ball family.

I'm proud of my people. We're in Bell County. We're in Bell County. Middlesboro. Middlesboro. My family is the Ball Colson Feud Ball. I'm the Ball family. Okay.

I know what you're talking about. Yeah. Yeah, most people do. Have you ever been to the Historical Society down there? An old Andrew Carnegie Library. It's a great building. I think I have, but they would have been a long time ago. Okay.

So they've got a new girl. She's great. She's got great exhibits up. And they are having a jazz festival, June 21 to the 23rd, that will benefit the historical society. And I would tell anyone, like I love my people. And if you haven't gone down there, you need to go. You need to go out to the pinnacle.

Look to the left at the little town of the little town of the girl. That's right. At the little town of Harrogate. And see they're a big LMEU. building with the cows. I will tell everybody we have to go to break. I'm sorry, but I appreciate it. And it is June 21st through 23rd. You, Millsboro Historical Society. Thank you very much. Get people there you.

Like, when we were at the Rufferina thing, they're just people coming up to him, like hugging him. It's like he's much more popular than anyone else. He and I walk through a lot of those former players, and they're all just running up to say hi to him. Yeah, like people picking him up and stuff like he's Owen Meaney.

Be right back. This KSR. They play and the How you do? Who's going to? That's tonight. They're going to shake it off here at the KS Bar and Grill for Taylor Swift trivia.

Everybody's playing for second. It's by far the moment at KS Bar with the, there's only two times we have like 75% or more women here. One is Monique brings once every quarter an orange theory party. Yes. and that's a big one. The place will be full with Orange Theory, people. And then the other one is Taylor Swift.

Now, the twins who help write the questions are not going to be here. Oh, they're not. So they... Who's going to settle a dispute? I guess me. And I don't know what I don't know. So let's just hope there are no disputes. I'm trying to make them as like cut and dry as possible so that there won't be any disputes.

They were really good last time because there were a couple disputes and they were just like, no. Like there was no debate. It was like, no, you're wrong. But they can't come. So. Oh, so you're on your own. I kind of feel like I don't want to make the swifties mad. And we're still three or four questions short, which is what I have to do this afternoon.

And I don't know how to do it. So if there is anyone out there that has a Swifty in your life that wants to contribute a couple of questions, just let me know. Well, me and my Swifties have a team. and I'm coming to win. I called in a little school girl. Shout out to Katie. She'll be joining us tonight, and I hope she has all the answers.

Yes. Well, apparently, this is going to be my Kentucky branded tweet of the day, and that was my Whiskey Thief Song of the Day. Somebody writes, Ryan Lemon, as usual, is kind of right. They are called log chains, but it's not because they're made of logs.

No. It's because we use them to tie down the logs as we're driving logs down the high. highway. Yeah. We've always called them log chains. Who's we? You keep saying we.

I think normal people. Okay. So you're using we to mean humanity. Correct. Okay. Yeah. I don't think we were included in that. You don't like you were talking about a different group of people.

Do you get to be the person that speaks for all of humanity? Well, I do when it seems to be stuff that's common knowledge. Okay. Yeah. Log chains. Log chains. That's going to keep that rock from crushing the city of Pineville. Listen, I have to stand up for them.

Has that rock fallen on the town yet? Thank you. Good point. Exactly. This Pineville still exists. They went up there with that chain with one mission. It was to keep that rock from falling. How would you feel if you got rid of that chain because you think it's stupid and then the entire

city of Pineville was wiped out by a rock? By this big rock. It's going to roll down the mountain. Wouldn't you feel bad? It'll be on your hands. Thankfully, Matt, they've got the floodgates that maybe will block that rock from crushing the town. The floodgates will stop it. The Mount Laurel Festival's Memorial Day weekend.

And it is a wonderful event. And it is in Pineville. You can go see all this for yourself. Who's next? Cameron. Cameron. Is Hillbilly Days this weekend? I don't know.

Now, let me just say. I'm going to tell you, just one second. There are like four things in eastern Kentucky that I would tell you if you've never been and you want to get mountain flavor, you should go to. One is the Mountain Laurel Festival.

One is Polk Salad Festival, which was in wrestlers. One is court days. In Mount Sterling. In Mount Sterling. But there ain't nothing in this world like Hillbilly Days. I'm being like you can go far and wide. You can go anywhere in the United States.

And there are very few things that are singular, unique experiences. Would you agree with that? I've never been. There is nothing like Hillbilly Days. I've been there twice. I took Ramel Bradley and Joe Crawford there, and they still bring it up to me, and they're like, and then I went a couple years ago. And I'm just telling you, if you ever get a chance, it's one of those.

If you're from Kentucky, you need to one time in your life find your way down there. Starts today, by the way. It is this weekend, right? Tonight, you can go listen to them dirty vandals at 9 o'clock. Thank you very much. With music before that, too. Starts at three of the music. I might actually go tomorrow now that I know what's happening.

I'm telling you, I thought it was this weekend. All right, go ahead, sir. Sounds fun. Hey, fellas, thanks for having me. A couple of things. I'm Mormon, and I served a mission. And in grad school, I, oh, so I have some insight on the conversation yesterday about half-court basketball.

Yes. And also, in grad school, I had a roommate who would do Botox in the kitchen. So let me go back to that. So the half-court basketball thing, true. Well, it's true. It's a general rule for all the missions around the world. That is true, but mission presidents do have some autonomy, and they can. Can I ask you a Mormon question? When you all find out where you're going, is it like a ceremony? Well, we invite all our friends over and family over, and we read the letter. Do you get any choice or do they, like it could literally be anywhere in the world?

Anywhere in the world. I, yeah, I got called to Winnipeg, Canada, which is the most random place in the world. So you, so let me, I just want to put, hang on just a second, I just got a minute and I want to kind of be clear. So you, sure. So you find out, I'm going to find out on this day where my mission is. And you don't, like, it could literally. be anywhere in the world and then you just see it? Yeah, I had nightmares about getting called to Japan.

Just because I, you know, I didn't, I barely knew the gospel. I didn't want to learn a language. So you decide to, so you open up, do you like open up a sheet of paper and then it says Winnipeg? Yeah, well, there's a, there's a letter from, so the members of the quorum of the 12 apostles call missionaries to where they're going. And a lot of times it's based on need, like where the church is growing or where there's, you know, a need. I just got like 20 seconds.

I just am trying to. So you just open it up and then that's where you're going. And that's where you're going. Yeah. And by the way, the half court thing, the half court thing is just simply they just want to avoid injury. Injury. Yeah. No, I understand.

All right. I got to let you go. I thank you very much. If you're looking to expand your professional network or maybe you're an entrepreneur wanting to learn more about your business trends. Kentucky Chambers having the inaugural Young Professional Summit, Tuesday, April 23rd.
