This is Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones. No Matt Jones, but Black Jones is here. Yeah. Kentucky. I have arrived, fellas. There are people here at KS. Bar, that's such a cool scene

it's cool to do it live we talked about like a month ago I had a trip plan but it got changed right so initially I was supposed to be here Friday to see Mark Pope he went to Peach Jam

so they had to change my flight last week to go to Peach Jam came back here but it's good to be here I'm glad to be here we're glad to have you here on another Mary Monday yeah thank you all

thank you all for having me I showed up and there was food, which, you know, I'm not a hard man to please. You know, I came in, there was just food everywhere from wild eggs. I've been talking about Waffle House a lot. Yes, you have. You all know. I think it kind of was making a man.

They were going to prove to you that this is a better breakfast. Yeah, and then, you know, when Drew gave me directions, he's sitting me by a Waffle House, which I thought was, you know, what was that about? You couldn't give me a detour because, you know, how tempting that was for me to stop. Well, Lisa, I warned you that you. you were going to see one.

I didn't want you to just be driving down Broadway and see it and get distracted and have a collision or anything. His direction is literally said, just so you know, there's a Waffle House on the way. So he knew. He knew it was possible that I might stop. But I didn't because I wanted to taste this wild eggs. Chris, their operations managers here. I believe May Lynn is the chef. Yes, back in the kitchen.

Let me tell you all something, right? I put this pancake in my mouth, and it was a spiritual experience. We could tell. You needed a moment to yourself. I wanted some privacy, to be honest. It was just, it was special. And then I had this, what is this, chicken Florentine crepe, I think it was?

Oh, my. And that was another moment where I felt like, you know, am I doing the show or am I just going to take care of all this food? Because it was that good. So thanks to all the folks at Wild Day. I really appreciate it. This is my favorite pancake.

This is my favorite pancake of all time. Well, we'll give it our Whiskey Thief pancake of the day. There you go. I'm with it. All right. I'm with it. Because it's, you know, it's like a real pancake. Somebody's mama made this pancake.

You know what I mean? This isn't one of those like you're just throwing a bunch of pancakes. This was made for us. Yes, ma'am. And you can just tell. I really appreciate that. So thank you again to the folks at Wild Eggs. How have you all been the past week?

I've enjoyed seeing you. I got to see you yesterday. We did. We'll talk all about your busy weekend. You've had a basketball fan's dream. But, I mean, this morning I took you up to KS. Office. Yeah, man.

I haven't been up there myself in a while. I'll had to tidy the place up. Apologies for that mess, but you're jumping from this. This ends at 1157. We're going to run you up the stairs where you're already set up to do ESPN at noon. So you've got a busy day here at KSpar.

Yeah, it's interesting. I got like some deadlines I have to hit, right? So I'm here on the show that I'll sprint upstairs, you know, to try to make my ESPN show from 12 to 3. And then here's the thing. Yes. I got a 526 p.m. flight out of the Cincinnati airport, right? I'll probably get out of here, what, 315 after I pack up?

Probably so. Everything. What are my realistic chances of making that flight? Just be honest with me so I can brace for the best and worst case scenario. First of all, I would try to get that 315 down to 305. Those 10 minutes could go a long way in your journey because you're going to be cutting it close. It's possible. I've done the leave Lexington with a short window to get on a plane at CVG, and it worked out for me,

but you will be, you don't want to hit any hiccups. Okay. Because you added, not only do you have this flight at 526, you have to turn in a rental car, and you have to check one bag. Yeah. Yeah, that's a lot. I shouldn't have check the bag. You want to leave it at my house and we'll bet it to you?

I may have to do something like that. Yeah. Because like, and then it's like, you know, I'm going to be running through the airport. Yep, probably so. And like, once you hit a certain age, like running isn't a pretty sight. You know what I mean? I got multiple bags. I probably drop one.

I'm pushing my way through people. You know, I don't want to be that person who's like, I got a flight, everybody move out of the way like I'm special. But with the deadline, I kind of have to be that way a little bit. So I'm going to try to push my way to the front, maybe sweet talk somebody to help me get to the front of the line if possible. Maybe. I don't know if you're air airports.

Pretty smooth right now, right? No issues whatsoever anywhere. Let me tell you. Have you heard about this last couple of days flying? Oh, yes. it has been terrible. Awful. Worldwide.

It's not just the United States. This has like been worldwide. So I was through the airports when they had the blue screens of death. You know, they didn't know where your flight was leaving and coming. Like everything was like glitchy. Yeah. There were lines throughout every airport in America.

I flew through O'Hare. Then I went to Charlotte, drove down to Augusta for Peach Jam where they had, you know, a great event down there, drove back. So now I'm in Charlotte again. And you literally like can't get through the airport. because there's people everywhere.

And you can't, like, push through to get to your badge, right? But I go to TSA, right? It's already a mess of a day. It took me 10 hours to get to Charlotte, by the way, from Chicago, because we were delayed four hours. We sat on the term out for three hours, and then whatever they let us sit. But, like, I'm checking into TSA, and they pull my bag aside. All right, okay, I don't have anything.

It's probably that I have a water or something like that. Yeah. So this dude opens my bag. And they looks at the other TSA agent. and he goes, you know, what, what am I looking for? And she says, did you find the torch? I said the torch. What torch?

Torch? The torch. So I'm like, wait a minute. What are you talking? And the guy's like, don't reach across, you know, as I'm searching your back. And I'm like, wait, did she say torch? And then TSA talks about you like you're not there. You know what I mean?

Like, it's like you had a parent-teacher conference and you're the kid. And you're like, why are you talking about me and I'm sitting right here? But she's like, yeah, the torch. Did you find it? And then you get so nervous sometimes at the airport. For a second, I'm like, did I pack a torch? You know what I mean? I don't think I did, but maybe I did.

I don't even have a torch. Might be something you would remember. Right? But it makes you feel guilty. Right? I'm like, do I confess now to try to make things easier on myself? Then he searches the bag and then he goes in. And he's like, okay, I found it.

And he pulls out my inhaler. And I've asthma. You know what I mean? and I didn't like the way he showed it to everybody. Like, okay, yeah, I'm 40-1. Not a torch, ladies'lige. He, like, held it up so everybody can see, look, everybody, it's the kid who's wheezing all the time.

I didn't think that was necessary either. First, you accused me having a torch, which, where would I get a torch? And if I did take a torch, why would I pack it in a back? That's true. Like, I mean, that'd be a terrible idea. Then you hold up my inhalers so the whole world knows I have asthma. It just felt like they were making an example of me at some point,

I didn't like it, fellas. I just, I didn't like, I didn't feel good about that whole experience. You know what I mean? This is what we're looking for, but ladies gentlemen, it's an inhaler. The man has an inhaler. There's no torch. He has an inhaler. For everyone to see.

First, you accuse me having a torch, so people are looking at me. Yeah. Torch guy over here. No arsonist getting on the plane. Yeah, and then asthma guy. Now you're asthma guy. How about you just get out of our airport, right? And I'm like, come on, man.

Let me just get on. to the flight. Maybe they gave you those complications on your flight here so it's smooth on your way to see you. You've already paid your airport dues. That's the hope. I like the way you think, right? Because even getting out of there, another thing that happened. I've never heard

of this before. We get to the gate and they say sorry everybody, but our first officer, who I guess is like the co-pilot, another flight stole him. I said stole him like he was traded?

Yeah. But like multiple picks? What do you mean? First round pick next year. They said another flight stole our first officer so we can't leave. We're on the flight. Like, okay, I don't know what's going on. But they're like, we got another guy coming.

Don't worry. 15 minutes later, they're like, sorry, everybody. They just stole him too. What? So I guess they're stealing pilots. I guess that's a whole thing. So they get us off the plane. So now we're like, we don't know what's going to happen.

Like, do we have a co-pilot? What do we have? So an hour and a half later, they're like, we got a guy coming from San Francisco. Now we can go. Was this guy a pilot? This is a pilot. Okay, just making sure. So we're waiting, right?

We're all, like, we're all upset. Like, we've been sitting there for hours. And then suddenly this guy, like, is walking through. He's got kind of an open collar, kind of a messy shirt. But he's got the pilot, you know what I mean, the wing thing. Yes. They do, you know. He's got a barrel of popcorn, right?

And then he goes, you all going to Charlotte? I'm your guy. Oh. It was like a movie scene. It was like a movie scene, right? Now, here was my challenge, fellas. And I don't know if this is too judgmental of me because I was being selfish. Did you have to stop for popcorn?

Like, I don't, you know, I didn't know how I felt about that, right? Because we've been waiting for a long time and he's got the big, like he's got the big barrel of popcorn. First, I'm going, where are you going to put that? Yeah. You'll put that in the cockpit with you up there. There's not enough room in the cockpit. And then he goes, just wait, everybody. I got to get dinner first.

now I'm like, all right, now you're overdoing. And now's a little much. And he comes back with this giant pizza, right? Which I'm like, you can grab a couple of slices, man, and just get us on with the flight. But we finally took off and it was a wild day, but I'm glad I ended up getting here and being able to do this. When you're in the cockpit,

shouldn't you be paid attention and have your hands on the control? Not with one hand in a pop-gum barrel, another hand on a pizza box. A full pizza. Where are you putting that? I didn't really understand the space element of that. I don't get it either. I'm more worried about these pilot kidnappings we're having.

That's what I'm thinking, man. Did you ever find out if they're going to other planes? Or people were literally taking our pilots from airports? Well, my concern is like, do we get a three-star prospect? We were going after a five? Maybe that was my thing. You got the fourth best pilot in 2025 for your current one. And I've got to be honest, you know, I kind of have this image of a pilot, like the movies.

You know what I mean? Like Richard Gear or somebody like that. They just look like a pilot. Big mustache. Got to have a mustache start the plane. Yeah, like they look like they could fly you through a hurricane. This guy didn't have that look, man. He was disheveled and carrying a big bucket of popcorn.

He looked like the 115 prospect, maybe, in the class and not top 10. And that's okay because 115 can become a superstar down road. Did he get you where you're supposed to go? We didn't. Oh, there we go. We ended up getting where we had to go. But it was a long, wild day to actually get here. And then we get here last night at the TBT.

And I realized how old I was because I'm seeing Willie Collis Stein and Alex Poitris and the Harrison twins. Guys I covered in high school who are now almost 30. Have you ever had those moments? Did you have that moment too yesterday, Drew, when you see those guys? Well, we interviewed the whole team last Wednesday. Yeah. And, you know, we used to interview these guys. It's all about NBA, the Cal area.

Now it's like, well, me and my five kids, our favorite movie is Cars 2 and the wife and I go golf on Sunday. And it's just a completely different conversation than it was 10 years. ago. It was unbelievable. I'm like, if you're 30, like Alex Porthas, I think said he's 30. Like if Alex Porthorce is 30, how old am I? Yeah. Because I covered him in high school. In high school. And Willie Colley Stein and the Harrisons and Eric Bledsoe, like all those guys were young guys when I started at ESPN and now here they are. They're 30 years old. So that aged me a little bit. Like you realize how old you are when you see those guys that they're now adults, like you said, with families and everything. Yeah, they're on the sidling with

their kids come to watch daddy play it was wild Drew said he walked around with you said he was walking around royalty he said you people were all coming up to you the whole night it was Drew now I was right in your co-tells now Drew everybody wanted to see Drew not true and then a couple people you know wanted to see me but Drew was definitely I think the star of the show you you've covered TBTs in the past other other places you're telling me that crowd we're we should be pretty proud of that yesterday my father best crowd really I've covered I've covered the TBT title games I've covered

games all over the country. By far the best. Good. I mean, when you have the champ go big blue and I've never heard that at like a TBT game, you know what I mean? Yeah. It was cool to see, especially, you know, a lot of times these are like guys who were D2 guys, low level D1 guys who end up playing overseas and then they come back together.

I mean, this is the most decorated TBT team I think we've ever seen. Ohio State had a good squad a couple years back. But you got Eric Bledsoe, you know, who was a star in the NBA. Yeah. You got the Harrisons, who I think are the most underrated players in recent Kentucky history. Oh, I agree with you. A lot of people agree with you. Yeah.

We were talking about this, Drew, like, you talk about 2014 and 2015. Like, those runs don't happen without the Harrison twins, man. Most successful back court, I think, in UK history. It's incredible. Go to a championship game. The next year you go 38 and 1. I mean, how you top that? And now another tournament format, 2 and O.

I'm counting this for their official record. There we go. They're just running through another bracket. 100%. And with the crowd, I don't think that was our best work last night. I feel like, to be honest, I was a little disappointed. Really? As good as that looked, we got much better.

I thought Friday was a little better. Tomorrow night, they play at 9 o'clock. I think we're going to see them better than that. But it was so much fun. Yeah. Seeing all those guys back. Yeah, I mean, guys I cover, man. I think Daniel Orton filed some guy, and I was fearful for his life.

Because I was like, yeah, you don't want to get filed by that dude. No. Like, that's a night-night file. You know, you might wake up somewhere else tomorrow. That was Randy Orton, not Daniel. It looked like that. And then he did like the point to the scoreboard and did like two little things. And I was like, yeah.

At a boy. So now they play what? They play Marshall, right? Tomorrow night. He heard that. A TBT fan favorite. I mean, you know, they're kind of the team everyone really is familiar with from all the years. They're good.

They're one of those teams. They've been together for a long time. Yeah. They played, you know, a lot of basketball. Whereas, you know, Kentucky, a lot of these guys are playing together for the first time. I don't realize the Harrison twins hadn't played together since Kentucky. That's what they said. This is the first time.

they played together. So like they're enjoying that as well for sure. It's going to fun to watch that, man. Absolutely. And talking to people that know them, you know, they tried to pair up overseas a few times. It didn't just work out. But I've heard they actually had a little bit of an issue being separated because, I mean, their entire lives, you look over and you're with your brother. And now they're in different parts of the world. So the TBT, and those two playing together, or while they signed up and why it's been so special to them. I was talking to Alex Poetters on the sideline. And he was telling me, because the Harrison twins are like notoriously quiet. Like when you would interview them, they would never have a whole lot to say.

Like pretty introverted guys. They seem that way. But on the court, they're trash talkers, right? And you saw that, you know, yesterday they were talking more than anybody. And I was talking to Alex Porthorz and he was like, listen, if you go at one Harrison twin, the other one just automatically starts trash talking. So he's like, it doesn't matter what the situation is. If you're talking to one, the other one's going to come in and they're just going to start chirping at you.

But it was amazing because I'd never seen them. as trash talkers because they were always such quiet guys when they played here. There was a moment last night, the Atlanta team, the Knopf. That was the opponent. They were jawing on the other end of the court from La Familius Bench, and both Harrison stood up and said, bring that stuff down here. So, yeah, they were, that was getting a lot more chippy than anyone expected. I thought we were going to have some fisticuffs at certain points.

One thing you know is if you fight the Harrison Twins, it ain't going to be a fair fight. You're fighting two. That's right. You got to be able to get somebody else because they're going to join forces. Daniel Orton was sitting next to him. Like, yeah, bring it down here. Man, when he followed that guy, I was like, yeah, man, I would just stay down. You know what I mean?

Like, I would just be like, what am I going to do? Get up and do what? You know what I mean? When the Orton was on the show, I think he scared people with his intensity about how he was talking about this game and his program. So, yeah, I can see him bringing it to the floor for sure. And now I guess he's coached like a middle school team or something like that? Youth basketball, yeah.

That's awesome. Back in Lexington. That's awesome. Is it break time? I don't know what the time should is at all. All right, we're going to take a break here and we'll be back. a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending, opinions are flying, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where Sports

Slice comes in. I'm Timbo. Every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the plays, the controversies, and the stories behind the headlines. We go straight to the source, the athlete themselves, their locker room stories, their reactions, the stuff nobody gets to hear. The laughs, the drama, the triumphs, the moments that never make the highlight real. From viral moments to historic games from buzzer beaters to controversial calls, we break it down, give you context, and ask the questions everybody wants answered. SportsSlice brings you closer to the action with stories told by the people who live them. Listen to SportsClace on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

And for more, follow Timbo Sliced Life 12 in the TikTok podcast network on TikTok. What's up guys? This is Clivert Taylor the 4th. And on my podcast, The Cliverts Show, I'm bringing you conversations about all kinds of stuff. like being an internet famous referee. We're in the middle of a game. This linebacker walks up to me, he goes, hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What?

Time out. Quarterback on office blue 42. Hey, ref, my mama want you to wave at her. What? Where's she at? Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Clifford show on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

What's up fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano and our podcast Point Game is about defining the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs.

I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He run up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball. Like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

What song is this, man? This is Tom Petty, Learning to Fly. Oh, it's Tom Petty, learning to fly. So I grew up with a kid who was Tom Petty's cousin, no joke. And it was like his claim to fame. Like he was just bringing up randomly all the time. I would do. You'd just be talking about, you know, sports.

He'd be like, yeah, oh, yeah, the Packers and Bears. By the way, Tom Petty's my cousin. And I'd be like, okay. You know, but at some point it's like, you got anything else? You know, you know people like that who their whole claim to fame is like someone they know or someone they're like related to. Well, there's a radio show host that I like a really lot that told us the other day how he was hanging out in a room with Prince and Madonna.

Oh, no, that was. Yeah. I'm not. I wasn't like, I didn't know Prince and Madonna. I was out there at a party with them, you know. But I wasn't like, it was like one-on-one. You know, that whole thing. Yeah.

It's just like he was there, the aura of Prince, you know, and Madonna. Closer than we've been. I'd still lead with that in most conversations. Yeah, people always ask me about it, but I don't want to be that person. Again, because it's not like a personal story. I didn't like, I wasn't partying directly with Prince. He was just there, and I was in the room with a bunch of other people. And then Madonna happens to walk in.

I kid you not, man. Madonna walked in. You couldn't make it up. And then a bunch of people were just in the room watching. kung fu movies like that's prince was into that like prince for he would party in one room and then he'd be playing like old karate movies in another room it was the weirdest scene you have ever seen man it was just a a wild thing but yeah my my buddy would always say he's related to tom petty what's your biggest claim to fame like who you know or who you related to well when

i was little keep in mind who i am yeah my last name i used to tell my friends i was related to metal arc lemon the harlemn he's black i'm white but i but i would tell all my friends that's i'm related to metal arc lemon we had the same last name how'd you get to that

like how did you get to that you know as a kid like how did you decide he had his last name was my last name's lemon yeah yeah same same disease that's a leap did anyone believe it no i don't think any people believe you back in those days i was wondering yeah that'd be a that'd be a leap. I like you, though. I like the confidence, though. Yeah. You know what I mean? Well, Matt and I, we've said it's a lot on the show. When you say something with confidence, yeah, even if it's not true, people are going to believe you. 100%. Yeah, that's basically our show, my show with Matt. You know, I just say things, try to say it confident. There you go.

And then maybe people. By the way, I talked to him this weekend. Oh, yeah, he's around. People keep asking me, like where he is. I'm like, I told you all, he's in Europe. Yeah. You all don't believe it. He's, he's in Europe for two months. I, I, he called me. So we talked for a little bit. And I said, dude, I said, you were on a boat in the water? He goes, well, hold on a hold on, let's clear it up. I was on a boat. I was not in the water. He does not like water.

He won't get in. He doesn't like swimming, doesn't like get in the water at all. So he was on a boat, did not get in the water. So he said, make sure we understand that. But he's floating in the water. Floating in the water. But he didn't jump in. He's above water.

Above water. Which, I mean, I don't just jump in a pool of water, right? Like out in the ocean, wherever he is. Here's another fact, he said. He's been in the city. Seven times that that team played in the Euro Cup. Soccer team. Soccer team.

Seven times he's seven and oh. Every time he's in the town when they play, they win. That's going to become a thing. That's going to become a thing. Like Spain went three and oh why he was in Spain or the Spain teams or something. Yeah, he is seven and oh in the countries when he's there when their team plays in the Euro Cup. So he's a good luck, John. I think his way.

Draft Kings probably needs to take note of that. We need to probably work on Draft Kings and set up something when they play a game wherever he is. I think it's over, but he had to go run. He must be, I didn't know you had talked to him, but he must be getting a little lonely because this is week nine, week one through eight. I got two text messages. One was a happy birthday and one was about you running against J.D. Vance last week. Okay. But this weekend, the text turned up quite a bit.

He's calling you, he's texting me. I was in two different group texts that he's in. I think he's starting to miss home a little bit. Yeah, I began to see. It was radio silence all summer, but they're starting to show up frequently. I'll be getting some texts and some face times. We have a group chat with some other ESPN folks, and he's quick to jump in that when he's got something like he disagrees with. So he's been very active in the group text.

So, yeah, I'm sure. It's been like, it feels like it's been a year. It has been a long time. You know what I mean? This is the ninth Monday without him. Got one more next week. He's got to come back with some like, you know, I don't know, like some revelation or something, right? Like, he's got to come back with something.

that like he's just really changed or thought about if you're going for two months. And I wonder what that's going to be. Yeah, he's back two weeks from today. Yeah. So you got just this show and one more show with us. That's it because he's back from two weeks. Merry Mondays, man. Mary, two more.

It's been fun. Yeah. It's been a lot of fun, man, to fill it on Mondays. It's been cool. When Matt gets back, I have a feeling, Ron, and I'm not going to have a lot of room to talk on those first few shows. I think Matt's going to have a lot to say after being gone for some. A lot of topics to catch up on.

A lot of stories from his. trip i think ryan i will be listeners next to him it's gonna be like castaway you know i mean what that dude was on the island you know like however long it was uh tom hanks yeah and then you know once they found him you know he's gonna be sharing all the stories uh i think of what happened man but yeah two months that's good for you man yeah amen you can be in europe and living your life you're having fun go do it man and definitely uh enjoy it we're gonna take some calls i think we have some calls 859-280 2287 and then uh we'll be back here on this Mary Monday here at KS Bar and Grill.

Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending, opinions are flying, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where Sports Slice comes in. I'm Timbo. Every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the plays, the controversies, and the stories behind the headlines. We go straight to the source, the athlete themselves, their locker room stories,

their reactions, the stuff nobody gets to hear. The laughs, the drama, the triumphs, the moments. that never make the highlight real. From viral moments to historic games, from buzzer beaters to controversial calls, we break it down, give you context, and ask the questions everybody wants answered.

I'm bringing you conversations about all kinds of stuff. Like being an internet famous referee. We're in the middle of a game. This linebacker walks up to me, he goes, hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What? Quarterback on office blue with 42. Hey, rep, my mama want you to wave at her.

What? Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Clippers show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed.

And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted. this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like

Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the bar like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Oh, yeah. Get your ass up and down the court and you're going to get the balls. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

podcasts. T.J. 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. My Rebecca, I'm here filling in for Matt Jones. Like I've been doing all summer here on Mary Monday, you know I like about doing this show?

What's that? Is you get real-time feedback. Yes. On Twitter from people. Like, you know, a lot of times. I'll be doing the show and I've checked my DMs or my mentions and people will be commenting as they're listening to the show. That's just a really cool element. But someone named, is it Jolie McClure?

She says my inhaler sets off security too. I feel your pain. Right. So like, you know, I told you my inhaler, TSA. So it's not just me. I guess all of us asthma people, we're just setting off security all over America. I didn't realize I wasn't alone in that. It's good to know.

It's making me think that TSA thinks all these people are walking around with torches in their luggage then. Like, really? You know, anybody that's got a torch. And when you said torch, I pictured like medieval where you get the big thing and dip it in the flame and hold it up to walk through the castle. So I was wondering how that would even trigger the TSA going through there. And I'd like to believe that you don't say the word torch unless you're sure. Yeah. We are in an airport.

Like, why are you saying torch and you don't know for sure it's a torch? Right? And they're like looking at each other doing some like eye coat. thing like yeah this this I'm right here everybody no I don't have a torch but to even say that sets things off right made people a little jittery you know and I didn't have a torch those little things that like they're kind of like cigarette lighter yeah that what they're saying are the torches that they look like your inhaler I think they thought he was Game of Thrones yeah cost while coming through yeah how many black folks on Game of Thrones by the way it wasn't me okay

there's no torch right but she didn't even wait to say look in the bag let's confirm and then he did the whole, you know, inhaler thing, man. Like, I didn't like that. Anytime I see something like a silly law or a rule or something that comes up like this, I think, well, that had to have come up before. So maybe someone did bring a torch through and they just, they have their guard up looking for torches. I thought that when I saw the sign, fireworks can't fly.

Because I'm going, are people loading their bags with fireworks? Is that happening? Somebody obviously has done it or they wouldn't have the sign up. But, like, clearly someone's doing it. Yeah. Or else they wouldn't try to make you realize you can't do that. I'm like, who is loading their bag with sparklers in, like, M60s and thinking that they're going to be able to fly to Texas?

Don't let them near your torch. That's what I'd be an incident. Clearly, clearly, maybe they're also mistaken things, too. You know, they thought I had a torch. It was an inhaler. Who knows? What's happening with that? The fireworks were Q-tips.

So where's your inhaler at for your trip home pin? Oh, it's in my bag again, you know? Oh, this could be trouble. You know? Maybe I should carry it on. me. Yeah. No, not a torch.

Yeah, but I didn't like this thing. They're like showing everybody. Yeah, that was the kid who would wheeze three times a day. Like, leave me alone. You know what I mean? Like, you'd have to tell everybody that I had asthma. We got some calls. We do.

Yeah, let's start with Joe. Joe, how you doing here on this Merry Monday? Hey, I'm doing really good, Marne. Enjoyed, listen to your, all your shows and everything. I appreciate that. I'm going to go back to your first show, Maron. Okay. on June the 3rd.

Okay. I heard a lot of glorification of Allerring and no offense, Al, all the part to the young gentleman. But on June the 3rd, Myrne, do you really know what happened on that day down south in Mississippi on June the 3rd? I don't. That specific day? That was the day that Billy Joe McAllister jumped off to Tallahatchie Bridge.

I didn't know that. And all you was talking about Al-Greveau. You know who I was thinking of? Who? The beautiful girl who sung that old of Billy Joe, Bobby Joe Gentry. Okay. No offense, Al Green. All I was thinking about was Bobby Joe Gentry.

So, Byron, would you give me that? Or are you still sick with Al Green over Bobby Joe Gentry? You know, it's never a comparison with me. I just love music in general. But I respect that. We can give him some of that. We can give him some of that. We can give him so that.

We can give you so that. But, you know, it's not like Al Green. It's just a presence for me. You know what I mean? It's not over anybody. It's just, it's just Al Green. But I respect that take.

We'll give him a little bit of that. I didn't know June 3rd was that. I didn't either. We missed that on the notes that date. Thank you, Joe. Matt Jones will do that to me. Like, he'd be like, you don't know this song. Like, Matt, no.

I don't know this song. You know what I mean? Like inform me. That's all. Tell me what I don't know. And then I'll know. We talked about that day on June 3rd when you played Al Green. We expect to be a lot of babies born in this.

eight nine months from now. I got some interesting DMs, I'll tell you that. I got some folks who love it Al Green, maybe a little too much. On a Monday for sure. It was a little bit, it was a bit much, you know what I mean? But that's what happens when Al Green gets involved. I didn't lie.

Like Al Green just kind of takes over. You mentioned Matt Jones music. Ron told me something during the break that has turned my life upset. Can you mention what Matt hinted at about our plans for the winter? It's tentative. We always take a road trip. Usually in the like December, November. Like last year we went to Philadelphia.

Nice. For the Kentucky basketball game when they played in Philadelphia. Now, of course, to get there, we go up through Canada, down through Mexico, through Florida, to get to Philadelphia. Well, this year, Kentucky plays at Austin in late November, and then like a week later, maybe two weeks later, Kentucky basketball plays at Gonzaga, plays in Seattle. So we were talking about what trip to take. And he said, it really does our show about. better purpose to go to Seattle.

That's more content for a week's worth of shows driving to Seattle than driving to Austin where we only drive two or three hours a day, stop, two or three hours a day, stop. So the content might be better to drive to Seattle, but then fly back. I'm learning this for the first time, Aaron. I was counting on Austin. Yeah. I already got my Airbnb. Yeah.

It's less than half the distance of Seattle. I googled that right away. Yeah. But I learned this information from Ryan during the break, and it's really thrown me off. That's those are two completely different trips. Too complete. And Matt drives like you run from an alligator, you know. It's not a straight line.

You got a zigzag. That's how we get from A to B. Yeah, you'll be about three years older once you get to Seattle. You know what I mean? That's one of those trips. It's still not decided, but we were just talking it out. Because obviously that football game at Texas is huge for this fan base. You play on them for the first time, you know.

Yeah. How do y'all feel about Texas? I mean, coming into the SEC. I'm scared. I mean, they're getting a lot of buzz. Yes, they are. It's actually shocking to me how much praise they're getting when you have. have, you know, the Georgia's and Alabama's and the established programs.

But, I mean, they have walked in. They're not the new kid on the block. No. The cool kid, it feels like, on the block right now. They're going to be one of the best teams highly ranked in the preseason. I kind of feel like the SEC, even though we all have our own rivalries, we're kind of going to unite to not let Oklahoma and Texas just come in here and think they run the place. Like, I will be rooting for teams I don't like because they're playing for Texas, Oklahoma,

just because we got to show, this is the SEC. You're going to have to earn it a little bit. So I think in some ways it's uniting the other 14 schools as we head into this first fall with two new ones. You kind of have to be that way, right? I think, yeah. You know, we got Georgia and Texas on the schedule this year. Both people think that's the number one and number two team in the country, those two teams. And Kentucky's got to face them both this year.

Where are they at? Georgia, home, Texas at all. Texas there. Okay, wow, that's the thing you don't have any easy games, though, in this league. Yeah. If you measure the SEC teams and what their records are at the end of the year, because I see a lot of the lot of people on Twitter, you know, talk about Mark Stubes and last season. Like, if you put Kentucky, I've told Matt Joneses, if you put them in the Big Ten and you

gave them, let's say, Minnesota's schedule, they'd be a contender in the Big Team. Amen. Like, it'd be a whole different thing. Like, I always, like, I'm a Big Ten guy. I'm from, obviously, Wisconsin, live Minnesota. But every time you watch these bowl games, it'd always be like some SEC school versus, like, what you think is a good Big Ten team. And then right away, you see how much faster that SEC team is.

You're like it's like a different speed. It's like where we actually even running in the Big Ten, where we jogging? Because what is this? Right? And then you always see the gap between the two. But I'm telling you, if you put the Gabe Kentucky Minnesota schedule, it'd be a whole different thing. Like the league is just that tough. And it's only getting tougher now that you had Texas and Oklahoma.

Think how good Kentucky would be if they had like a Louisville schedule. You know, just a random team, Louisville. Schedule like that, you think we'd probably be undefeated the last several years. The Law of the Cardinals. I got to read you some. something here this is from the A vision glass text machine 502 7353680 basically it says tell mary and don't feel bad about having his inhaler pulled out at the airport security yeah because on his honeymoon they pulled out his wife's fuzzy handcuffs out of her luggage and held them up

oh that's a whole different kind of thing yes it is that it happened that had happened to me yeah wow yeah you're there with your your your wife going on your honeymoon and they pull out the fuzzy handcuffs they've got him it's right here here they are why do they have to pull it out and like why do they have to hold it up in the first place. Why they snitching? Yeah, why are you stitching? Can't you just like quietly show it? You know what I mean?

Like, hey, this is what we got. You don't have to hold it up for the whole airport to see that. I got someone here, Pam Edmonds Baker says I thought maybe you had the Olympic torch. I wish. Now, that would have been cool. That would have been cool. We got that coming up Friday. You a big opening ceremony, guy?

I'm all over it. Yeah, me too. I'm all over it. I see the parade. I don't like, who's the dude with the shirt off? You know what I'm talking about from that? There's a dude from some country in South America or Central America who like his whole, the whole country, he's like the only athlete I think represent in that country. I don't even know what sport it's in.

But he just walks in all like oiled up without his shirt off and it goes viral every single time. He does it. But like that's his lone thing and people go crazy over it. That's a little much, I think. But I do like the pageantry of the opening ceremony. It's just cool. I'm an Olympics person, man. I guess I just announced that LeBron's going to carry the American flag for the United States.

First basketball player to do it? Does he get that after almost losing the South Sudan? I don't know. What happened over the weekend? I didn't watch until about five minutes left, but Winy and Gabriel tried to take down America. He almost did. He almost did. I don't know.

I don't know how they pick. It has to be Simone Biles or something like that, right? Katie Ladecki, you'd think. But we'll see, man. It's going to be fun to watch. It's a long ceremony. It looks like a last like five hours. You know what I mean?

You know, when your kids, you're sitting there, watching it and you realize they're going to alphabetical order. Yeah. And they're in the G's, and the United States is a long way to go. You fall asleep before they even get there. You know, if you need some good music to listen to during the opening ceremonies, Shannon, anything going on this Friday? Oh, yeah, my band, Alice Bluegown will be there Friday night, 8 o'clock. You're getting to pop in here.

Alice, what? Alice, what? Alice Blue Gown is the name of the band. How'd you come up with that, Alice Blue Gown? Yeah, so that was the name of a fighter jet, like a bomb-man. from World War II. There was a plane called the Alice Blue Gown, so that's what that's named after.

But yeah, Friday night. Looking forward to playing there for the first time, and hopefully everybody will join us out there Friday. Nice. They're going to be right out here on the patio. Like right behind you. We're going to send them up right there. Check them out on the patio.

I'll be at home watching opening ceremonies and last six hours. It's a lot. I mean, they introduced every... First off, you didn't realize how many countries there are until you see the Olympics. Yes. Like, where all these new countries coming from?

I've even heard of them. Are we adding new countries still? I think so. I thought we were done. with that. Yeah. Right. I feel like if you weren't a country up until like 2015, you're out. I'm sorry. Like that was the application deadline. You don't get to just become a new country in 2019. I don't know how I feel about that. We're starting to have like plans and Dayton to get the Olympics. The brackets expanding. It's too much. We had a good format. Let's just keep that.

Countries on probation with postseason bands. Like what are we doing, man? But I love the pageantry of the Olympics. You know, the breakdancing competition starting this year. Yeah. Uh-huh. Is it flag football? Flag football's next Olympics. But breakdancing is a new sport that will debut this year in this Olympics, and we had better win. That's all I'm saying.

We bet we're not losing breakdancing. For me, it's like basketball, swimming, breakdancing. Those are the three sports where if we don't have a gold medal, what are we doing? Fire everybody, you know what I mean? If we don't get a gold medal in those. How did we form the breakdancing team? I did not see how we that came. Was there a tournament?

missed or a dance off somewhere. I'm very interested in seeing it. Yeah, so I wanted to be a break dancer as a young guy. I don't know if I told this story. I walked up to, we had a break dancing club in high school, and I actually walked up to it, and I was going to join, right? So like they had an after school practice. So I'm walking up, I'm getting ready to join.

I want to try to learn. And then I walk up, and this dude is spinning on his head. And I realized I wasn't at that level, so I turned and walked away. So I still think to this day, man, if I had gone to that practice, maybe it'd be me in Paris right now. Who knows? But I gave up my dreams too early, man. He was spinning all.

He was like spinning at a circle and moving at the same time. I was like, I'm like a level one. That's a 10 right there. I don't want to get involved, I think, in that, man. Maybe how they had that's how they picked the team. They just went to some local high schools and picked up the kids. They can do it. Yeah, well, we'll be back with more after this break.

Last night, a blown call changed the game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending, opinions are flying, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened.

And on my podcast, The Cliverts show, I'm bringing you conversations about all kinds of stuff. Like being an internet famous referee. We're in the middle of a game. This linebacker walks up to me, he goes, hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What? Time out. Quarterback on office blue with 42. Hey, rep, my mama want you to wave at her.

What? Where's she at? Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Cliverts show on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, fam? This Isaiah Thomas. I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed.

I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid.

He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers

while he got the ball, like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the, iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's a good song.

Sorry, I didn't play it on June 3rd. Our Mac app here, feeling it for Matt Jones. KSR, before we get some breaking news, we got a live read here. We do. This segment is sponsored by our friends at UK Federal Credit Union, where I do my banking. I use the UKFCU app to pay bills and check balances with a touch of a button. I just had a non-month CD mature over the weekend, Ryan. So that's fun.

Big day. And if you're like Matt and you like to travel, you can use the app to live. locate the nearest fee-free ATM. I did that in Finley, Ohio two weeks ago. I'm just using all their features. UKFCU is always with you and available, and the mobile app just makes banking better. That's UK Federal Credit Union,

membership eligibility required, federally insured by NCUA, UKFCU. Check them out. Back to you, Myron. I appreciate it. Now I've got some breaking news. It's not her. Running, nah, no.

Whoa. Well. You got breaking news? Are we okay? Are we okay? I wasn't ready for that. My volume was too high. Play it one more time for hiring Shannon.

Okay, you got your volume turned down? I need to go down a little bit. Here it goes. That's your boy. Yeah, that's a lot. Okay, that's a lot. You got to prepare me for some of this stuff. I wasn't ready for that.

Like, I was like, is something happening? Yeah, something is happening. Breaking news. Breaking news and maybe not breaking news to everybody, but I think to me and you'll understand why. I know the first exhibition game for Kentucky basketball. I don't know if they've announced that yet, but I know it because my friend is the head coach, Minnesota State University.

Do you all know about Minnesota State University? It's in Mancato, Minnesota. Do you know one of their most famous alumni? Prince. Right here. You look at it. My alma mater, Minnesota State Mancato. We'll play at Rupp Arena, October 29th, an exhibition game.

All right. For those who don't know, they won the Division 2 men's and women's national championships last year. Did they really? So really impressive run. Matt Morgon-Thail has been a friend of mine for 20 years. So all I ask is, when they come to Rupp Arena, show us some love. You know, it's going to be an exhibition. Obviously, you know, it's probably going to be a lopsided game.

But give my guy Matt Morgant Thaler and the Mavericks a little bit of love, if you wouldn't mind doing that when they come to Rupp Arena on October 20th. I want to come to that game. I guess you're coming back. Yeah. I mean, that's like, that's my school. Yeah. It's cool when they get opportunities.

I was, even like the TBT, you know, watching the Noth. Is that what they, their name is? The Knopf. I was thinking for some of those guys, to play at Rupp Arena must be pretty special. It's a big deal. You know, I mean, to be on that floor. Like, I think a lot of people take some of this stuff for a grant. I think all of us who are attached to big sports and we go to these big arenas and

venues and you almost take it for grand. after a certain amount of time, and you see the way that the opposing athletes, how they feel about the mystique of a place like that, it's got to be pretty cool to compute on that floor. And I know for these guys at Minnesota State-Man Cay, they are going to love the opportunity to compete on a floor like that against Kentucky. So obviously you're going to cheer for Kentucky.

I get it. But please remember my guy Matt Morgan-Thaler, my alma mater, when they face off with Kentucky on October 29. Might be the first time. UK gets to see the Mark Pope team too, so I'd say it'll be a good crowd. And to your point about just how when guys get that opportunity, you know, they try to do things they wouldn't normally do. Like maybe last night, guy thought he could dunk on Willie Colley Stein. I'm still laughing at what he was, that man was trying to do.

He cocked it back going up like he was in slam ball, not knowing the greatest shot blocker in college basketball from years ago right there in front of him. That man did not on a TV in 2015. There's no reason you should try that. He didn't, but you know what? I had a stretch in my life where I thought I'd marry Halliberry. This guy here. I still think that. It didn't happen.

Yeah. It didn't happen. I'm still trying. Yeah. One can dream. Yeah. And I can understand maybe he thought that was his dream. That was his moment.

I love how Willie Collie Stein kind of looked at him like, what are you doing? Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, really? Like, really? Like, what did you think was going to happen? Because he did just try to dunk it. He cocked it back.

And he was trying to get sports center top plays. Oh, he got one. He did. Not the one he thought he would get. And then I remember sitting there, I was like, where does he think he's headed in this moment right now? At the same time, I respect the hustle. I respect the, you know, the opportunity and to say I got to make the most of it. But that was never going to work out in his favor.

I could ask you one more question about Minnesota State. Wasn't that the school for the old TV show coach? When we changed the name. So it was Mancato State University. Coach comes out in their Minnesota State. Minnesota State rebrands as Minnesota. Minnesota State University. Really?

That's a big part of it. It's where the Minnesota Vikings used to have their training camp. So, yeah. What was that date? I'm putting this in a tweet. October 29th. 29th. Minnesota State will play Kentucky at Rupp Arena in an exhibition game.

For you. It's basically for me. They brought in Cal's alma mater. Dwayne Peevy's alma mater. They're bringing in your alma mater now. I got to get on the broadcast somehow. Yeah. I got to get involved.

Oh, we can make it happen. I got to get involved, man, because that's a lot. That's my guy. Yeah, yeah. And that's fun, man, to know that they're coming down here to play. Mark Pope. I got a lot of information on him when we come back. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite.
