This is Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones. Welcome, everyone, Kentucky Sports Radio Tuesday, August 6th. I'm Matt Jones here at the KS Bar and Grill in Lexington, Kentucky, where it is Repair TV Day.

everyone, all the televisions in here are getting a little tune up to get ready for the season. And you can give a shout on the Clark's puppet shop phone line. All right. So, Shannon, 859-280-2287. Since I've been gone, today is if you have a question. Okay. All right. If you have a question about anything that's happened, our take on anything, you know, trip, the Olympics, life, whatever, 859-280-2287, I'd like to hear from some of you all because I haven't talked to you in a long time.

A Vision Auto Glass Text Machine, 772, 774 in this edition. Sponsored by a T.J. Smith Law Office, you call T.J. He'll make them pay. Got some good folks here this morning. This man's from a place I didn't know existed. Lexington, Indiana. Didn't know there was a Lexington, Indiana. Did you? I grew up in Indiana and did not know there was a Lexington, Indiana. And we got these folks right here. Two guys are playing football at Kentucky Wesleyan. They didn't act like they knew who you were, which I thought considering how famous you are was a little disconcerting.

Twins from Elizabeth Town, and now they both play in Kentucky Wesley. And so woo-woo. That's going to make them pumped up for the game. So glad to be back today. It was a fun day here yesterday with a ton of people. Everybody was very nice. Thank you to all the comments that came in. And now a couple things are going on.

Like I said, it's TV Repair Day. And then we just hung up up here at the top. Yep. For many years, CBS Sports, of course, did the SEC games. And they, you know, they're not doing them anymore, right? No more SEC games. And what they would do is in each place they'd go, they'd have a banner. The last CBS sports game that they did in Rupp Arena, Drew stole their banner.

I wouldn't say steal. Did they know you have it? You stole it. I ocean 11ed it out of there for the last game. So it is now hanging in the bar. The CBS sports, the banner that hung in Rupp Arena for all of the legend. secondary CBS sports broadcast is now hanging in

KS Bar thanks to Drew's theft and we appreciate it Drew. Again, I don't like to call it a theft. I don't know the statute of limitations there, but it looks really good up there. Has it passed yet? Remember that the day of that game I said on the radio show I was leaving Rupp Arena

with it. You did. You did. I called my shot. You did. And it's up there. It's right next to the Final Four banner from 96. So, you know, one of your job, while I was gone, Ryan, was to sort of redecorate. You got the final four banners. You got a Reed Shepard jersey and Oscar Shibway jersey.

So things have gone well. You still got a couple things to do, but you've done well. Yeah, we're done on this thing. We just need behind the stage here. We're with some new pictures here, and we'll have it all ready to go for you. We need some baseball in here. I don't know what people have. I don't know what we have.

Well, that brings up a good question. No, we could, if somebody had a picture of the two guys doing the Spider-Man thing to each other or three guys at home plate, that'd be good. hang up if we had that. We had a debate when you were gone. The Noon McCarthy slide into home plate. Also good. But he transferred. He's leaving and going to Georgia. He's on the schedule. Yeah, no. We do the one where they point to you.

I feel like that's the sort of legendary image with everybody, the Spider-Man. So if anybody has that picture, like a good version, because we can't just take it off the internet. If you have one, then we'll turn it into a picture and we'll hang it up somewhere. Or maybe you could tell the people at UK, they probably have it. I bet they've got it. I bet they would give us one. I'll hang up my pink bucket hat too. That'll be a nice addition.

Also, today, we have, I'm not looking forward to this. So. Welcome back, Matt. Billy calls me on Friday, and Billy goes, hey, just so you know, Tuesday and Wednesday, we have a two-hour podcast seminar. And I said, what is that? And they go, we're going to teach. they're going to teach us about podcast for two hours.

Now, first of all, I was doing podcasts before them. True. Okay. Remember, we for a couple years couldn't get access because Big Easy started the podcast before I heart. So I'm not looking forward to this. I'm not going to lie to you. What are they going to teach us in a podcast? I thought we were the ones teaching.

I thought we're speaking. No, they're teaching us. So what are we? Well, I think, too, we have to go shake some hands, some things. some clients are going to be there. I don't mind that. I don't want to go to the podcast soon. I'm with you, but go not just once, but twice, today and tomorrow.

Once in Lexington, tomorrow's in Louisville. So it's national podcast people are coming, apparently. So, Shannon, are you excited? You know, I love podcast. I've still got the word podcast blocked on Twitter. If you tweet me the word podcast, I'll never see it. That's exactly right. Shannon does have the word from people being mad with the podcast.

podcast up. If you need to know when the podcast is up, you better find a different word because Shannon won't see it. He has it blocked because he hates people asking. That's right. People are getting creative on how they ask for the podcast. So anyway, we have that today as well. 859-280-2287. We will take your calls. There are a couple things we didn't get to yesterday that I want to talk about. And I think we need to talk a little bit about just football in general. Probably didn't talk about it as much yesterday. And two things. I want to talk about the season coming up and then also talk about Stoops' comments last week. But let's talk about the season. So you look at this schedule coming up this year. I don't know that it occurred to me until I was

looking at things a few nights ago, just how hard this game. Oh yeah. I mean, you could make three of the top four teams in the SEC in the preseason standings. We play. Two of them on a row. Yes. Okay. We basically traded Missouri and Mississippi State for Texas and Auburn. That's basically what we did. Sure. Missouri and Mississippi State for Texas and Auburn. That's not easy. Especially when it's at Texas.

And then Vandy, which my view about Vandy is you always want to play them on the road because they have no home field advantage. You're basically wasting a home game with Vandy. So it is a very hard. schedule and I was sitting here looking at it and saying all right because I like to try to break it down in my head let's assume you win the four stinky teams southern miss Ohio Murray state and I'm going to go ahead and put Vandy in there too okay so let's just give them those four all right now I'm going to say that it's going to be really hard to beat Georgia yes and I'm going to go ahead and say it's going to be

really hard to win at Texas all right that's not impossible. Teams go and do it, but I think this year it's going to be odd. Yes. So that means there are basically six games. So to me, the floor is four and eight. The ceiling is 10 and two. There are six games then that decide your season. South Carolina at home at Old Miss, at Florida, Auburn at home, at Tennessee, Louisville at home. I don't think you can put Louisville into that we're definitely going to win like we could for many years. I look at those six games, Ryan, and I say, you could win any of them.

There's not one of those games that I won't go into and think they got a chance to win. But you could lose any of them, right? There's not one of those games that I would go into and say, well, we're definitely winning this one. So the fact that there is such a fluctuation between what they can do this year, whereas in most years we think we know what they're going to do in nine of the 12 games. I think makes this a really exciting but nerve-wracking season. No doubt about it. And so this is one of those years when you need to take care of business at home.

You've got to beat South Carolina, Auburn, and Louisville at home. Let's rank the games, those six, in terms of difficulty. Okay. To me, South Carolina is the easiest. You have to win that game. The second game of the season is, in my opinion, the most important game of the year. The last two years they've got in Kentucky, Kentucky. You should have won those.

it's week two. You lose that, and I think a lot of the excitement of what can be done with the season if we take a big hit right away if you don't win that one at home. You have to win that game. Then I think the second easiest for me is probably Auburn, which is odd to say, but I still don't think Auburn has, it's not the Auburn we think of. They just barely edge Kentucky out in the preseason poll. They're just right above them for a couple votes. Then I'm going to say Louisville, because it's at home. They don't play anybody all year. They could come into this game 10 and 1, and I still think we're going to beat them. All right.

Then I'm going to say at Florida, because I think Florida will be better, but their schedule is so hard this year. And then I'm going to say at Tennessee. Actually, I'm going to say at Ole Miss because I don't pick us to beat Tennessee unless we do. And then the hardest at Tennessee. Would you disagree with any of them? That's exactly how I would rank it. There's no doubt.

That road game at Tennessee out of the six to me is the hardest. To prove to me you can win down there. To win at Ole Miss will be extremely, extremely hard. We had that game two years ago, and they kind of took it away from us. But they're good. I mean, they're top ten for a reason. Why did those guys walk out? I don't know.

I mean, go see. Tell them they welcome in. Like, what do they do? I don't think they liked our rankings. They just turned around. Maybe they were scared. I don't know what they were doing. Here they come.

Here they come. All right. I'm going to cheer when they come. Is there anything that you, do you disagree with any of it? Ole Miss could potentially be in the same Georgia, Texas realm. They're going to be top 10. I think they're seventh in the coach's poll. Do you believe that?

It's still Ole Miss. I know. They load it up, though. The good thing is Kentucky historically has played them close every year. Even, you know, you lose one on a touchdown throw here in Lexington. Last year had the play taken away. So I guess Tennessee is historically, you know, we get killed by them every single year. So I guess I could give just, if you're looking backwards, maybe put Tennessee above Ole Miss.

But Ole Miss will be a better team than Tennessee. All right. So then now let's do, and we'll do this again right before it starts. but a month out before we've really heard a ton about camp, et cetera, give me the win or lose. Let's everybody agrees we win the four stinky games we lose to Georgia and Texas, right? Agreed. Anybody disagree with that?

No. Shannon, disagree? No, I'm on board with you. All right, so then I'm going to go through, win or lose. South Carolina. I say win. Win. Win.

Win. When. Got to. Auburn. Win. Win. Win. Win.

I'm going to say win. Louisville. Win. Win. Win. I'm going to say when. So now we are at seven. Okay.

And that's the same seven. Like that's the, to me, that's the seven. You've got to get to have a minimum happy season. All right. Now it gets hard. Yep. Okay. At Florida.

Now, I know it's easy to go. We've beaten them all these years. It's still Florida. It's the swamp. We are playing them later in the year this year. Usually we play them right at the beginning. What do you think? I'm going to say when, but I'm not going in expecting it for this exercise.

I'll say when, but that's going to be a tough one. Kentucky is the better team. Florida is actually below Kentucky in the preseason polls, but you're going on the road in the SEC. That's never easy. I don't care where you're headed. Right. If there's one road game, you've got a chance. I think it can win it.

It's that one. So that's the only road game I think Kentucky can't. Kentucky wins it. They're a better program than Florida is now. So while I said the most important game of the year is South Carolina, it is. It's hard to see having a good year and losing that one. To me, the game that will decide for

Matthew Harper Jones whether or not this was a good year is the Florida one. Because we're better than Florida. Yes. And I don't know if we're better than the other four teams we're going to talk about, but we're better than them. I think there's a difference in our fans' mind

between 7 and 5 and 8 and 4. I almost feel like that's where your mind flips. Do you know what I mean by that? 7 and 4 seems average, but or 7 and 5, 8 and 4 seems better. I'm going to pick us, but I'm like Drew. I don't love it. Ole Miss.

I want to say loss. Like Drew said, Ole Miss, I think it's going to be really good this year. Yeah, I'm going to say loss. In Tennessee, I'm not picking us to beat Tennessee. I can't. I mean, they just, it happens too much. Drew, will you do it?

I mean, I will on that Friday when I get excited, but right now I'm saying no. Shannon. If Kentucky is going to pull off an upset over the four teams, like the four toughest games, I think this is the one they have. I think this is the one. I think this is the one, yes.

We did win there. What was that? Four years ago, beat them pretty good. So that would mean all of us kind of have Kentucky at eight and four. Eight and four. And what's crazy to me is I think we can be eight and four, only one game better than last year, but be significantly better.

Be a significantly better football team and only have a one game better record. We just all have to train our brains that, you know, the 10-win seasons are 8 and 9 is what we were looking at as 9 and 10 a few years ago because the schedule has got so much harder this year and then when you're adding maybe a 9th game moving forward the 8 and 4 is I'm ready to start having parades especially if the schedule looks the way it does this year and let me also say this let me throw one more thing in we just said that there's eight games that we think they will win if they can win one more they might be in the playoffs in the playoff talk one more yep you look at

that Ole Miss, Texas, Tennessee game, if you win the ones we predict, win one of those, we might be in the playoff. So this season has such a feast or famine possibility that I think it's going to be really interesting. 859-280-2287. We're going to take your calls. I have to talk about the event in the Olympics that I just realized that is the craziest one so far. And we will take a break and be right back. It's Kentucky Sports Radio.

surprise if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals. The World Cup is almost here. Experience it all with us. Listen to Inside American Soccer with Tom Bogart and Tab Ramos on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back, Tegi Sports Radio. Remember if you have questions, 859-280-2287. Text machine 772 7524. Serbia leads Australia about one point with 30 seconds to go in the basketball. quarter finals. I think the U.S. plays later today. Three o'clock, I think today. Three o'clock. So the USA plays. Who do they play?

Puerto Rico or no? Brazil. Brazil, yeah. They play Brazil. Yeah, that's who they play. One person writes, Matt, I agree with you on all this, but I'm glad we don't play Missouri this year because they're actually preseason number 11. I'd still rather play Missouri, though, than Texas, wouldn't you? Oh, Missouri is Texas, yeah, but Missouri is much better than they were all those years. What, we went like seven straight or something crazy?

Dude, since stealing that one in Lexington, they've really had a great run. They have. All right, so this is the event that I think is insane. Okay. Do you know what the modern pentathlon is? I mean, I know the word about, I'm sure what the events are included in. Do you know what the modern pentathlon is? Shannon, do you know what it is?

No, I don't. This is an event in the Olympics. It's the best at a combination of running. Okay, makes sense, right? Jumping. Makes sense. Shooting. Yeah.

Okay. That's a little weird, right? Swimming and equestrian. I knew all those but swimming. I didn't know swimming was included in all that. So think about that. Good grief. Apparently it goes back to who is the best at things you would do as a soldier?

Because as a soldier, you might have to do all of those things. But it's just hard for me to see the same person who rides a horse. like doing the high jump. Isn't that a weird sport? And I learned that when it comes to the horse part, unlike other equestrian where you get to bring your own horse, you get drawn and you just get given horse. If you're a soldier, you're not packing your own horse over there.

That's exactly right. You're running, you swim, and then like when you're wet, do you jump on the horse while you're wet? It's not a race. It's like the decathlon. You do five different sports and add up the points. Oh, okay. It's not a race. But like, you just get drawn a horse.

And apparently in the last Olympics, the horses just kept throwing everybody off because they didn't like having, I don't know if they just got horses off the street or if they were horses. But that is an event in the Olympics. What are the strategy? Do you just try to be really good at one of them? Or you divide all your time across all of them to practice? Because you've got to be a great athlete to do all of those things. And what body type? What body type would be good at all that?

Would you want to be tall and skinny? Would you want to be short and, I mean, probably don't want to be short and fat, but like you, I mean, what would be the body type that would make you be able to do all those things? Certainly not mine. I would not do well on that. I would say you have to be very fit. I don't know about height and length if you need that, but obviously very in shape. But apparently this may be the last time they ever do it. It's not on the schedule for the L.A. Olympics because of the horse issue. Because apparently the horses just didn't work last time. So as of now, it is not on the next Olympic schedule. That's what puzzles me. The moat you don't get to pick your own horse. You just some random horse.

You may be the leader and get some horse that just that day decides how you're doing it. Like a drunk horse or something. Yeah, maybe he stayed out way too late last. I just, I found that. I think that event, by the way, is going on now as it goes. All right. So Shannon, who's up first? Let's start with Doug.

Doug. How are you, Doug? Hello, Matt. Now, this is question is for you. My favorite all-time KSR show was when you were talking about your last European vacation. and I think you went through Luxembourg. Yeah, I slept in a woman's backyard in Luxembourg. Yeah, that was the last one.

That's why I was going to ask you if you fell in any backyard. No, I didn't. I was a little more careful. Probably the weirdest interaction I had. I appreciate the call is, you know, you all make fun of me for that when I was kidding that one time. And I said I knew more than the internet. We do. We do.

We do. We remember that. Pittsburgh, yeah. Yeah. Well, I met a real person who actually believed it. and really made my head want to explode. I was in London and I was in a hurry. I had to meet somebody at night

and I was coming from the airport. And if you've ever been to London, the Heathrow airport is like an hour away from the city. It's a long taxi ride. Getting this taxi, this dude's really nice. He's talking to me. British voice.

You know, I don't know about you. I kind of like people with British voices. They just seem like they seem smarter, I think, when they talk. And I just, I liked him. And then all of a sudden, I was looking at my little app and, you know, it's such terrible.

traffic and the way it was saying to go he was not going that way and we just kept getting caught in traffic so after the first time I let it go after the second time I let it go and then I go hey man because I noticed he doesn't have a traffic app up I go hey you know you you use ways or do you use like Google Maps or whatever and he said I don't use the internet I went oh okay well my app is saying there's a wreck up here maybe we should go around it and he goes there's no wreck

and I said well I think there is and he was like there's not and I showed him I said here it says that and he goes there's no way it could know that and I said what do you mean there's no way it could know it he said there's no way it could know it I've been driving in London for 30

years I think I know the traffic and at this point I'm like I'm sure you do know the traffic, sir, but this knows it's a wreck. And he said, there's no wreck. Well, of course we get up there, there's a wreck, and we're stuck. And I said, again, don't mean to be rude, but like, you want to look at this?

And he goes, let me ask you a question, Mr. Internet. That's what he said. He goes, let me ask you a question, Mr. Internet. What are you going to do when computers go down one day? And I said, well, I don't know, but they're working. today. And so today, why don't we use them to go wherever? And he refused.

And he said, there's no app that knows more than me about London traffic. And I, you know what? There comes a point, Drew, you don't really have an answer to that. What are you going to say? You just go, so we ended up being like a $150 cab ride because the dude would not go, whatever. Yeah, I use ways going just across Lexington. he did on routes, I know for that reason, because it tells me things that I don't know what's in front of me. He said, there's no way it could know there's a wreck. And I was like, yes, you think it just guessed?

I mean, clearly it knew, and he just, Ryan, he just did not buy it. You didn't give him my man, my man? Well, I mean, he's controlling the car. What am I going to do at that point? I'm at his mercy. So who's next? Let's go to Marshall. Marshall, I got about 40 seconds. Go ahead. Hey, I just want to, oh wait, first time long time. Who are? I just want to say how much I appreciate you guys.

I've been listening since middle school. I'm 20 years old now, y'all. Such a big part of my life. Well, thank you, man. That's very nice of you. Y'all have such a big impact on just the little things. Like, besides my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, like, y'all are something I can listen to every single day.

I just really appreciate you. Thank you very much. We got like 10 seconds. Did you have a question? I think it's ironic how we finally play Florida in the winter and we don't have good running backs. That is true. You know, we always play them in the spring.

Thank you very much, sir, by the way. I appreciate it. That is crazy that we do always end up doing that. Australia hits a shot at the buzzer, and it looks like Australia is going to beat Serbia. Was it Patty Mills? Oh, it's tied. Go into O-T.

Never mind, I'm like that British announcer. We'll be right back. It's KSR. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind.

It was the dude from Minnesota. Tim Walls. He used to be a high school social studies teacher, like your dad. Just like my dad. He used to coach football. Well, my dad was a high school coach. So he used to coach football. I could give you all this policy and all that stuff.

but I want to give you the fact, Drew, that will make you like him the most. I didn't know the difference between him and Jeff Walls. For Halloween, for Halloween, five straight years when he was, do you know what he dressed up as? I do not. Chris Farley's man down by the river. I might have a candidate I like for the first time ever. Big Chris Farley guy. He kind of looks, to be honest with you, he kind of looks like him a little bit.

And he put his belly and I haven't seen a picture of him doing it yet. But I did read for five straight years, he was the man down by the river for Halloween, which I think if he's at the Democratic convention, he's got to show up like that. And he was like, I'm thrice divorced. Shannon, his dirty laundry looks to be like he got a DUI once. And when he got pulled over, said he was somebody else, like that dude. Oh, said it's not me. It wasn't me.

We did the shaggy defense. It wasn't me. But so we'll see. Can he do a debate as Matt Foley, the motivational speaker? Pulling up his pants Doing his legs like that I think he should So there you go

So we won't go to Chicago Because Andy didn't get picked Apparently Andy I am now According to the reports Andy was third It was the governor of Pennsylvania And then Andy coming in third I hope I never learned anything else

About this guy Just that he was met fuller That's all he needs for you This guy's governor of Minnesota right now Governor of Minnesota yes Had you ever heard of him before this No Okay no

Have you heard of him now? Now, what's his name? I just said it. Tim Wals. Well done, sir. I feel like during the break, you got everything. I got smart during the break? Well, I wouldn't say that. I did hear while I was gone, Shannon, you picked up pickleball.

Oh, yep, I did. I did. I played it actually a couple of nights ago, and I hate to tell you, Matt. Kind of like it. It's kind of fun. You know, I knew you were a dork. Why is that a dork? It's an athletic event.

It's a sport. No, it's not an athletic event. it's a faux athletic event where you like act like you're an athlete you i mean i don't understand why you would betray me like that well look i mean team mobile it's team mobile tuesday they gave me free pickleball paddles and a ball right hang on what is t mobile tuesday pickle what is that we've talked about this before so t mobile if you're a subscriber every tuesday they give you free stuff free whopper at burger king or free pizza at pizza hut well a couple of tuesdays ago it was free pickleball paddles and I go you know what wait a minute you got they gave away a free pickleball

paddle yeah like you just get to keep it yeah and I go well it seems like a pretty good I mean I don't want to play pickleball that seems like a pretty good deal okay okay it's a paddle away exactly so I go okay well it's free it's right up the road I'll just go up there and get my paddle and ball and maybe I'll play and see how it is and I played and I had fun you would too you would love it you would love it and you would like it and you would be good at it because you're good at ping pong and tennis, this has kind of got you written all over it. I can't ever play it because I will be good at it. The one thing I was, the best thing I was good at in tennis was volley.

So I'll be good at it, but I refuse it. It's all because of Paul. Well, forget about Paul. No, it's all I don't want to get, I had to listen to. You would be way too smug. It's all because of Paul, Drew, I can't play. Don't give Paul that power over your life. Just put it aside and go play pickleball like everyone else in America.

Secretly play. We don't have to tell anybody. Somebody'd see me and take a picture. Get the little whippleball. I'm not going to. I was very disappointed, right, when I read, when somebody told me that Shannon had broken my heart, it's like Fredo Corleone. You know, he breaks my heart, and I'm going to have to take him out on the lake now because he,

because he did it. Not only played it, enjoys it, and he's going to play it a lot more. He's one of them now. We're going to get you to turn over to the dark side, Matt. You're going to do it. I'm busy that day. Who's up? next. See, I invite you to do stuff and you don't want to do it with me. Oh, but and you're moving

too, right? Did you buy a new house? Yeah, I moved. I'm back in Bullitt County, so now you can say that's so Boynt County. Oh, you're living in Bullitt County now. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. A lot happened while you were gone. Mountain Dew across the board. All right, what's next? Andrew. Andrew. Andrew, go ahead, Andrew. So my take on the winds being vacated in 21, I know I rushed that field during the Florida game, and I know I got stung by all those bees, and my buddy hasn't helped to improve it. Oh, that's right.

You were the guy, for people who don't remember, you were the guy who, who was it we beat? Florida. After we beat Florida, you stormed the field, and then you went outside, and your buddy's car was filled with bees, and you got stung. I remember that.

Yeah. and then my buddy got a tattoo with a B with the U.K. helmet and the score of the game on his arm. Wait a man, hang on. I've seen the tattoo. You have? I have. Will you send that again, Daniel? I'd like to see that.

The tattoo with a B., it's a B with the U.K. helmet on? Yeah, I'll have him send it to Drew or Ryan. I think he has Ryan's number, so I'll have to. Yeah, send it to Ryan's phone. People should always send stuff to Ryan's phone. Yeah. So, okay, well, I'm with you, and I appreciate it. the call. I mean, they can vacate those games. We know they happen. Yes. Right. I mean, the only

people who will even care, probably Louisville fans, because we made fun of them for getting their title vacated, but they still act like they won the title. Ryan, I mean, it's not like you're going to act like that citrus bowl didn't happen. Is it really, it only affects what, Mark Stoop's Wikipedia page and our ability to make fun of Louisville. I think it'll affect the fact that, like, they won't be able to say, you know, they won't be able to show the Citrus Bowl trophy, right? Like, they won't, because Mitch will not push the envelope at all. So, like, there'll be no mention of that team, which is a shame because that's Wondell. That's Will Levis. You know, that's Chris Rodriguez. That's a team of guys we love, but that'll be really the impact. That bowl game had a crazy

ending, them driving the field and Wondell jukeing that guy out of his shoes. You can't take that away for me. I'll remember that. I don't have to pay back those bets that I've already won. It all happened. Yeah. But it is a, I mean, it is a bummer. I don't think it will, I mean, long term, I don't think it matters. It doesn't matter long term. It is a bummer.

Who's up next? Radio Ron. Radio Ron. How are you? I am 89 and I'm fine, Matt. Good. I want to say good morning to all you guys, but I had to call in and say welcome back. Thank you very much, Ron.

And guess what took place this past Saturday? day. Let me guess because I know when we hear from you, the Kentucky senior games, and let me guess you were in them and you won a bunch of events. That's right, Matt. And I entered all the sprints, 50, 100, 200, 400, and then the discus shot put hammer throw. And I finished, wait a minute, Ron, you can't do the hammer throw where you spin around? Yeah, you spin around and you let it go. They didn't. It's qualified me once, Matt, because I went out of the ring in the front instead of the back. He said, Mr. Chilton, New York, is qualified on that trip.

I want to ask you some times. What is your 100-meter time? In 18-5. Okay. It's pretty strong. That's pretty good. What about your 400-meter time? Oh, that's a little about three and a half minutes.

Three and a half minutes. Okay. Yeah. And then what's your, how far do you throw the discus? I throw the discus 45 feet. And that's not too bad for an 89-year-old. Is that the actual disc? You throw an actual discus 45 feet?

Or is that like a senior discus? Well, they do have various weights for seniors. So mine is a little lighter, but it looks like a disc to me. And I let it go. I had so much. Well, that is very awesome. Good for you. And did you win all those events, or is there another person coming out of you?

Tangle medals, man. Yes, to be able to yourself. Did you do the competition? But did you have any competition? No, I wanted to tell you because you always ask, I am the oldest and the last guy in my age category. Well, that you deserve a gold medal for perseverance regardless, and seriously, I kid you about it, but 89 years old to go out there and do the events and throw the discos and spin around with a hammer. That is awesome.

The relay race would have to be tough. One final thing, Matt, you know where they were held? Where? At the Harry Stevenson Sports Field on the Transylvania campus. Oh, that's awesome. I knew you'd love that. I remember. I appreciate the call, Ron.

Yes, Harry Stevenson, when I was in college, would ref the intermural football games. you could always smell a little hint of bourbon on him when he did it, and he loved to throw people out of the games. There was one, Harry Stevenson would throw four to five players out every single game. We give Ron a little hard time not having a competition, but I think people are just afraid to sign up and go against him. I would know what he's in the field.

My man's out there with a hammer throw, and he said he threw it the wrong way. I'd be a little bit scared as well. We're going to be broadcasting Friday at A-Vision Glass at 333. Sequoia Drive in Hopkinsville to celebrate its grand opening. That's 333 Sequoia Drive. They sponsor the text machine. They're great.

They have 16 locations. They help repair your glass repair needs, cracked windshield, whatever. A-V-V-E-I-Z-I-O-N glass.com. There's one near you. And if you're in Hopkinsville, come on out and see us on Friday. We'll take a break. Be right back. KSR.

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. This linebacker whops up to me, he goes, Hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What? Time out of my. Quarterback on office, blue of 42. Hey, rec, my mama want you to wave at her. What?

Hey, Ms. Parker. Listen to the Clifford show on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life, one hot flash and hormonal crime. drag at a time. You ladies know what I mean. I'll bet you a perimenapausal chin here you do. So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast. How hard can it be with the Adamania

Arriva, where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden I'd had hanginess happening on my own. I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive. Wait, what sex? Dating at 45. How high can it be? Getting naked at 50 with the new guy.

That one's kind of hard. Well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears or tears of laughter, and dive into it, unfiltered and unbothered and ask, how hard can it be? I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public. Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva as part of my Cultura Podcast Network, available on the I-Hart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah. Who is this, Shannon? Black-eyed peas.

Black-eyed peas. All right, well, good. Who is the band that, well, these guys in Kentucky Westin would help me. Who is it? I don't want to say it because I'm going to pronounce it wrong. How do you say C-H-A-P-E-L-R-A-N? Chappel-R-A-N? Chappel-R-O-A-N? Who is that? You all know. know? Well, if you don't know, I shouldn't know. I see these huge crowds. They get, they get Chapel Rhone. They get these massive crowds everywhere. They were at Lollapalooza and they had too many people and like they almost ran out of water. Did you not see this story? And everybody was going crazy for Chapel Rhone? Chapel Rhone. I think it's just a person. I don't know it's a person. It's a band. Yeah. All right. Well, it's a good person. You should play. Is it male or female?

Female. Female. All right. So it's a female singer, Chapel Rohn. You can play, I guess, one of their songs. But apparently had so many people there that, like, it was out of control. Wow. Because they're so popular.

Again, another person that I don't know who it is. And somebody, when I was in Italy, somebody goes, you know, does everybody in America love Sabrina Carpenter? And I was like, they might. I mean, I'm not sure, I guess. They do. I don't know. I never feel older than when TMZ starts talking about, or some tweet comes across with news of some artists.

I've never heard of. Ever. But they have a million. Never heard of followers. And I, not on my radar. 859-28027. One person says, Matt, I saw on the news when people were shooting water guns at tourists in Barcelona. Did you see them and did they shoot at you?

I did see them. Did you see them? We were there that day. And I saw them gathering to protest tourists. They did not. It was me, Hubby and Sarah. They did not shoot them at us, but we saw them, and where the video was where they shot people was probably a block from us. So we just missed being the ones to get shot with water guns for being, you know, tourists.

How'd you guys get around in Spain? Hubby's wife drove. Yeah. She's wonderful. It was an adventure. You know, got to drive a stick. A lot of roundabouts. A lot of roundabouts.

A lot of roundabouts. You got to get you. to the roundabouts. If you're not used to the roundabouts, that's different. And then, you know, all the signs, all the signs are in Spanish. That can be a little bit of a, that can be a little bit of a test. I can't believe you allowed somebody else to drive you. I didn't really have a choice. It wasn't really a choice, but I can't drive a stick. So what am I going to do? Like, I can't, you know, I never learned. She wanted to drive. And 90% of the time it was great. 10% of the time was a little bit stressful. I'm not going to lie to you. You know, there's

But that's okay. It worked out well. Were you a good backseat driver? I didn't say a word. Now, they may have said words to each other. I didn't say a word. I was like, I'm just going to sit back here and enjoy it. But she did a good job.

And imagine you haven't driven a stick in 15 years. Anybody who knows how to drive a stick can tell you if hills are difficult, right? And in part of Spain, they're big hills. Wow. And they all drive little tiny cars. Like they don't drive the trucks and SUVs. They drive these little tiny cars. So because of that, their parking spots are tiny and narrow. And if you're trying to get in and out of there with a stick shift and you're not totally comfortable with it, there's a lot of back and forth and back and forth. And then the Spanish people are not very patient. They're honking. But we got through it and it was fun. We only took us an hour and a half to figure out where at the Madrid airport to drop off our room. It was like the scene in National Lampoons. Look, kids, Big Ben.

We just kept circling around and around and around. Yeah, unless there's a picture on a sign, how would you know where to take the car? You know, they have these apps, which people taught me before I left, that you can take a picture of something. It's Google Translate. So you can take a picture of something, and then it'll translate it from that language to English. But it's hard to take a picture when you're driving down the road. It's hard to take a picture of the sign. and figure out what it is.

So it was a little, a little difficult. Who's next? Lynn. Lynn, go ahead, Lynn. Hi, Matt. How you doing? Good.

What's going on? Well, first of all, welcome back. It sounds like you had a great trip and you recharge your batteries. I did. And I'm retired out of the business world. And I'm going to tell you what, one of the things I would judge leaders on

was how good the people they surrounded themselves with were. And your guys did a fantastic. job in your app. Glad to hear that. It was a lot of fun. Hey, I got a question today. Olympics. Both summer and winter Olympics,

if you guys were to add an event or two to each summer and winter Olympic game, what would you do? For instance, in the winter, I'd do team snowball fight, and in the summer I'd do individual belly flopping. Okay. So you want those kind of sports. I appreciate it.

I don't know. I was thinking of actually oddly thinking about this, what you could add to the Olympics. I think it would be good to do. They used to do this in car racing back in the day. Some of you all may remember IROC, and basically they would take 20 drivers from all different things, give them a car that was exactly the same and do a race. So I think it would be cool if you did that in the Olympics, right? Like you could take American F1 drivers, all that, give them all the exact same car, and then have a race and do auto racing. I think, Ryan, that would be interesting.

That would be very interesting. I think for you, you would pick a sport like getting out of traffic, getting out of traffic jam the best. Dude, the best at leaving an event early. Got out of Pearl Jam in Barcelona way before everybody else. Yeah. Oh, yeah, you didn't even talk about that. Yeah, I went and saw Pearl Jam.

That's awesome. Absolutely awesome. I mean, that was a top five concert. I mean, we were in Barcelona. We just, I realize, oh, Pearl Jam is playing here. tomorrow we buy tickets. It's up on the top. The Olympics in Barcelona,

the stadium was on top of a mountain that overlooks the city. So it was up there. And he played like every song I like, including, like, Just Breathe, is maybe one of my five favorite songs of all time. He plays it. He's wearing a Chicago Bears, Walter Payton jersey.

It was almost like he made the concert for me. And then in Barcelona, and it was just, it was awesome. I saw the Food Fighters seven years ago in Budapest and got to see Pearl Jam in Barcelona. Did you also go to Five Finger Death Punch? So I was walking down the street in Frankfurt, Germany, and I look up and I see all these goth-looking people going to a concert, and I'm like, wonder where those people are going. Then I see Five-Finger Death Punch T-shirts, and I realize it's Five-Finger Death Punch is playing

here. Of course, for people who don't remember, Chris Kale is from Lexington. Yes. is a fan of KSR. I text him and I say, are you in Frankfurt? He says, yes. Come through. Gives me a ticket.

Germans love their heavy metal. I mean, it was wild, wild. People, like, wild. And I'm sitting there by myself. He invites me backstage. That was, I mean, that's not my kind of music, but he was so nice and it was so cool to watch people that into it that I had an absolute blast.

Because one of the few times you called us, you were so excited. You ran into Chris Cale on the street. He's so nice. He asked me about you guys. He's such a nice guy. Real nice guy. And like they just, you know, Germans love heavy metal. Like they are into it.

And that combination was a really, really cool environment. I assume they're huge over there. It's huge. When we come back, there was an NIL decision in a court case that I think sets up college sports for the next decade. And I don't know if everybody knows the details. We will talk about it right after this. It's Kentucky Sports Radio. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy,
