Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face. I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out. There was a large chunk of my 20s that I, like, was just so wanting to, like, be out of that phase out of my skin. And I just, like, really regret not living in the present more. You don't need to have everything figured out right now. You just need to understand yourself a little bit better. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to Hour 2 of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones. We're sitting here. I want you to do what you did with the college kids. I want you to do it with UK fans tonight at the game. Okay.

All right. Same set of people. But like, take widely different ages. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. Take widely different ages and let's see what it comes up with at the game. We'll also see how many people listen to this show.

Because if they listen to this show, they should be able to get it. No, who are they are coming. So probably if you get people who, if you do the video, if somebody's listening to the show, we'll know. But there'll be a lot of people. at the game who don't listen to the show. And I'd like to see what the different...

Because here's what my prediction is going to happen. At the game, Gilchrist will have at least some people who know him. Oh, yeah. Although not everyone. Not everybody will. I think more people will know Bashir at the game because they're older. Fewer people will know Portnoy. Correct.

Everybody's going to know Pope, obviously. And almost everybody will know Patino. There might be a younger fan you meet who doesn't know Patino. But I think the Portnoy-Bashir Gilchrist stuff will flip. flip. Well, flip. Because, like, my mom wouldn't know who Portnoy is. I was just saying, do Alex Cooper, you two wouldn't know who that is, right? I don't know who that is. But you do. Of course. I do. Every woman, though, under 30 would know. Every woman, under 30 would know Alex Cooper, but you two have no idea who that is. The old guy and the young guy, we don't know

who she is. That's like the female Portnoy. Oh, okay. Right. Barstool? She used to. Now she does her own thing. Okay. But, alright, 859-280-2287. I want to get back. the phone's got a lot of people on. Ryan, you have a lot of support on the baby thing. I mean, it's still more people saying you're wrong than right, but you probably have 40% of the people that agree with you. There are people, though, saying Ryan's wrong, we should ban babies, but he's right that taking a baby to a game is a miserable experience.

Agreed. And if we're going to do it, I think the lap ticket is the way to go. It is? Yeah. Apparently, a lot of the Reds rule is three. has to buy their own ticket for the Reds. They're just trying to get people there. Maybe.

Although I think we're going to win the division this year. I like Ryan said absolutely not to two-year-olds, but he took three-year-olds, so we know his line. Right at the two and a half. Why are you laughing, Shannon? We're good. We're good. We got Terry Francona now. We got Ellie, Matt McLean's healthy.

We got a great rotation. We got like seven, eight starting pitchers. I'm going to be watching spring training games this year. Oh, boy. Ellie said at the end of the year, I want to be the best player. in baseball. And so like, Ellie, listen, you're going to hear me talk a lot about Ellie, so y'all just need to get ready. Unless Ellie gets 10 at bats every game, it's not going to matter.

Now watch him get hurt in spring training, but this is going to be my, this is going to be my summer of Ellie. Well, I like McLean. He's good, but he was out all that. I know. I thought coming up, he was going to be the next superstar. We got to talk about Kansas real quick at Bill Self. Kansas lost by 34 points last night to BYU.

on the road. On the road. 34 points. It's the third largest loss in the history of Kansas basketball and the largest loss since like 197. When the game was over, remember, now remember, don't forget that Bill Self last year said the team basically quit at the end of the year because they knew they couldn't make the NCAA tournament or win the NCAA tournament.

Remember that? Yeah. He basically said we were just over. He's asked about the team and he was like, yeah, we're just not very good. And then he said, I thought this trip would make us bond, but now we need to get all away from each other. That's not what you want to hear from your head coach. He seriously acknowledged with six games left in the regular season that his team hates each other.

He was like, we need to get away from each other for a few days. Now they play on Saturday, so I don't know how much a way they can get. But how about that? After a year. And then look, he won a title two years ago. So it's not like he's, you know, a disaster. but he basically says like after last year saying we stopped being caring because we knew we couldn't win a title now he says we got to get away to each other we don't even like each

yeah they're a mess and part of that has been as Kentucky's been losing lately like the other night when we lost to Texas you flip over and Kansas is just getting destroyed by Utah who's got a guy with hair down to his back just schooling everybody also it kind of you know we won at Hunter Dickinson pretty bad the Hunter Dickinson experience is not gone well for two years in Kansas He is as much an example of a guy you cannot win with as any player in America. Like, he's good, but you can't win with it. He makes your team worse, which is crazy if you think about it, because he's so good, but it doesn't matter. You think, yeah, he'd be a great addition to your team, but it seems like it has been the other way.

It's been a deterrent on the team. Yeah, I mean, they've gotten significantly worse since he transferred there. They still play two top 10 teams and another top 20 team in the year. They can have like 13 regular season losses. They're going to make the tournament but close, but I'll tell you who might not make the tournament. Yukon. Yeah. There's a world they might miss the tournament.

There's a world Gonzaga might miss the tournament. Wow. They still play some good teams. A team that is one of our signature wins. Yeah. So some powers not necessarily showing up this year. Hurley's lucky they won last night. That could have been two in a row.

And up next they go at St. John's. Imagine them on a losing street going to see Rick this weekend. North Carolina might not. You might have a year. I think Kansas makes it. But there is still a world where North Carolina, Kansas, Yukon, and Gonzaga are all like not certain to make the tournament. Which is crazy.

Connecticut just won two straight titles. North Carolina was in the championship game. Kansas just won two years ago, three years ago. So, I mean, it's crazy. My mom thought I asked you, Alice Cooper. That's what I thought you were saying at first, too. Alice Cooper. Everybody knows.

There's a lot of people. Yeah, but we would. But there's a lot. Young people wouldn't know who Alex Cooper is. My generation definitely does. Who do you think? We've talked about this before, and then we'll go to the phones. Who do you think outside of Trump and Obama is the most known person in the United States?

Trump and Obama are one and two. I'm going to say, by picture, by picture, not name. Snoop Dog. Taylor Swift. I'm going to say Taylor Swift. Yeah. I think Snoop's up there. Who's the most famous non-mus.

musician by picture. Because I think a lot of the most famous are going to be musicians. Probably Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift and Snoop are a good one too, actually. I'm sure there are other ones that pop up there. I think there were a time you could say Jordan and a time maybe you could say Tiger Woods. I'd say, I wouldn't say either of them now. Not now.

Is it LeBron? Probably LeBron. It's Steph. Maybe. Yeah, those two. LeBron and Steph. Patrick Mahomes. All right.

What about non-singer, non-athlet? I'm going, sticking to entertainment, going to an actor. Actor or like an influencer type? Who's like everybody? Because who's the person? Like, I know that person. Oh, man. So generational.

Like younger generation, they all know Mr. Beast, but people my age may not have an idea who Mr. Beast is. I don't know that I would recognize him just by face. Beast Games, great show. How do you recommend? That's a good question. That's a good question. 772-74.

I think just by picture. Trump would be one. I think Obama would be two, but it could be like Taylor Swift. I mean, there's young people. There are people out there who Obama's not been president since 2016. Joe Biden, no, but he wasn't famous as them. Would you put, is Elon getting close to that? A lot, but there's, you know, if you're not, if you don't follow the news, you could not know who he is.

Well, we'll see. Let's go to Bob and Jamestown Defender. Hello, Bob and Jamestown Defender. Hello, and I think he should put him on soon after. But that's not my reason. I didn't ask you to program the show, but go ahead. I think he picked the wrong guy on the 2012 team. Michael Good, Gilchrist, I'm the same age as him, and I was following the team very well.

I don't remember seeing him. Well, who else would I pick? I'm not going to be Anthony Davis. Everybody knows Anthony Davis. I mean, who else am I going to pick from that team? There's nobody on that team besides Aaron. Deron Lamb, there's no way kids would know who Duron. He's more distinguished. I'd say he's more distinguished.

Had a better personality, I feel like the MKG did. A better personality. MKG was the biggest. Do people forget MKG? Like, you say you're his age. He had the biggest personality on the team. His smile, he lit up a room. I mean, he was a much bigger star than Duran.

I mean, Drew liked Duran because he had his used mattress, but otherwise, I think it was MKG, right? Maybe, okay, I just think that he just kind of, I mean, Anthony Davis definitely, Duran has a look. I think there's a lot of different people that you could pick other than MKG that would get. Not off that team. I mean, not off that. I appreciate the call. I mean, of course, Anthony Davis, but he's still playing. So that's not, a lot of people know him because he's on the,

or was on the Lakers, you know, and won a title. That's a little different. Starting to get a little aggravated with fan base. We can't be forgetting Michael Kid Gilchrist. Do kids know who Oprah is? Because there's a jet, anyone 25 and older knows Oprah. Do kids know who Oprah is? I hope so.

Okay, Mario thinks Oprah's a good one. Oprah's a good one. Because like a lot of people, yeah. maybe i think she's definitely probably in our top five we did this 10 years ago she's number two there's no doubt right number one i think there's a lot of people wouldn't know over now does she still out there she hasn't been on anything a long long time yeah i don't know uh let's go to find bob and james now go ahead go ahead bob matt the lake is 15 feet below my property i'm getting scared anyway monica lewinkey

In all seriousness, I hope that turns out, okay, it's obviously people are still dealing with it. And with this snow, it's a tough situation. I know. Monica Winsky, remember her? She was on today's show today. She looks fabulous. I mean, these people in college today, they wouldn't know who she was. But anyway, she's back and she looked better than ever.

And Hal McCoy, the sports writer, says the reds, could be contenders. They made some trade. Ellie's back in Goodyear, Arizona, sunny. They're getting ready to play some... All right. I appreciate to call, Bob. I mean, again, this is the thing about going to him.

He's in being just a Shannon. He talks about Badaico Lewinsky being hot. Like, that's what he does. It doesn't matter what the topic at hand is. I'm sorry I missed her on the Today Show. He's just going to say what he's going to say. Where? Let me see.

She does look pretty good. Pull it up to your camera. If you can see that. Oh, she does look good. Good for her. Yeah. She, I have, I feel bad for her. I mean it.

Like, how old was she when that happened? 19, 20. Like, the president is interested in you. It shouldn't, like, ruin the rest of your life. Okay, I'm drawing a blank. What was the lady's name that turned her in? Linda Tripp. Yes.

That's it. Good pool. Linda Tripp. That's not that name. Yeah. Snitches. Yeah. That, she was rude. Yeah.

Linda Tripp should not. Because she didn't like, Monica told her in confidence. Yeah. Trusted her as a friend. Yeah. Now that, I was saying when I was a kid, when I was in college, like nobody cared about politics except that story. Yes. I remember when the Star report came out, my whole college printed it out and was reading it.

Because it was pretty salacious stuff. Now it probably wouldn't even, nobody would even. care. But back then, that's the president. Now we would just assume. But like back then, Ben, go ahead, Ben. Hey, I'm just calling say, Ryan, what the heck, man. You're supposed to be the family guy. You're supposed to take a for us dads. I mean, I've got a, I've got a 10 week old baby.

And my wife and I, probably were probably playing on going to the game tonight. And we're going to have to buy our ticket for our 10 week old. So, everyone wants to criticize parents. Ryan, hang on. Tell him, telling me can't go. Here's my advice. No, no, not advice. You're setting the rules. You are the new mayor.

It is okay to go and just be husband and wife. You don't always have to be mom and dad. Get a babysitter for that kid. And you and your wife enjoy the game. It's a week. It's school night. They got a neighbor. They got a friend.

They got somebody at church. They've got somebody. That you can throw your 10-month-old. Have a date and enjoy just being husband-wife. 10-week-old. Yeah. That's why you don't want to take that baby to the game. Will you watch their 10-week-old?

No, I'm busy tonight. you have a response, Ben? Everybody wants to criticize parents and say that their entire life or their world revolves around their baby. But when parents try to live normal lives and take their baby along with them, look, my 10-week-old is probably going to be a lot less disruptive than a 3-year-old. I agree with that. I agree with that. A 10-week-old is a lot less likely to whine like a little child than a little child is. I'm on your side. I am

I am now the family. I appreciate the call. I'm now the family person on this show. Ryan lost it. I lost the title. Who's scoring big in the NBA this season? Well, it could be you with Draft King.

this is like a baby song? This Lone Star. Lone Star. But it's about children, right? It's Mr. Mom, yeah. Did you not like Lone Star in the 90s? Was that one of your... I like that one song.

No News. Is that them? I think that is. Yeah. The woman on the bus was really attractive. You know what I'm talking about in the video? It's been a long time since I've seen that. That's a long time.

I don't remember. I might look at it now and think differently, but I just remember... Yeah. I mean, they're just certain women from your childhood, right? Like, you remember, like her, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, Smith videos, right? Alicia Silverstone. And then what was that?

Stephen Tyler's daughter, which I always thought that was weird that he put his daughter in the video. Didn't you think that was weird? A little bit. It's a little bit weird when you're like, the, the, the, the, the, the, that, the, the, the, the, the, the, that, the, the, that, the, the, that. 2000. What do you mean? You're too young. No, Baywatch is like not mid-19s.

Like I was, I was talking about she was in a music video though. Oh, I don't remember that. What music video was she in? The band lit, miserable. See, I don't remember that. Okay. Just thinking about videos, the Alicia Silverstone ones was the one from my generation. Don't you think? Drew, do you remember that? Yeah, I remember that one. Yeah, that was the one. What was the video? Crazy.

Yep. I don't know if there was one. we've talked about it before where the girl had on a red, white, blue bikini. So you can't do it. He can't keep it subtle. He just can't. You know what I see, Shannon? Like you and I are talking about it kind of above ground.

And then he comes in and he's like, he's talking about Little Texas. I know that's what he's talking about. That's it. Before the conversation even came up, I knew the vet. Yep. I didn't go to him, Shannon, because I knew he was going to bring up the Little Texas video. I knew he was because he does it every time. And I was like, I don't need that.

At least he hasn't brought up Janet Jackson yet. That was next. Yeah. Before I go to Sean, real quick. Drew, NASA, I don't know if you're keeping up with this. Oh, yes. Every day NASA gives the new percentage chance that an asteroid is going to hit the Earth in 2032. I'm all for NASA.

but what I don't understand is it's going up substantially every day. So like last week it was like 1.6. I think it's 2.4 a week ago. I've not been keeping up with it. Now it's 3.1 and they're going to give another update today. And it just keeps going up. And they say, 3.1 doesn't sound like a lot, but it's like a 1 in a 33 chance. So we had a 3% chance of winning the lottery.

I'd take it. Wouldn't you? Exactly. One in a 33% chance that an asteroid hits the Earth. And the asteroid, it's not apparently big enough that it would like wipe out humanity, but it would wipe out a city the size of New York. Now, they don't know where it's going to hit. They said it would be more likely to hit one of the large cities in Asia.

But still, like, let's say it hit a city in Asia with 25 million people. That's obscene death. And it would cause all kinds of other things, including typhoons and hurricanes that would affect the entire world. I feel like this isn't getting enough coverage. 2032 is not that long. Eight years. Right. 3% chance.

Not huge, but it's gone up 1% since last week. So clearly like things are spiraling here. Does that enter your radar at all? I've been tracking that, I mean, I'm not looking up at the sky tracking it, but the percentages. And in most things, you know, 3%, it's like, a slim chance, not going to sweat that. But an asteroid hitting the earth, 3% is way too high for me.

It's only 12% higher or lower than what our chances were to lose at Texas when we were up five. And don't think. What about St. Peters? Oh, yeah. I bet it is lower than St. Peters. Don't think it can't happen. I mean, hello, Middlesboro, Kentucky.

It happens. Well, that was a crater. But like, this is. So, I mean, this is a huge thing. I heard a guy on TV say, if it's coming, there's very little we can do about it. That we will not have the ability to shoot it down. And as a matter of fact, with our weapons, even if we shot it, we might make it worse because it would split into a lot of pieces and maybe hit even more parts of the world. So we just got to sit there.

We're a sitting duck waiting on it to hit? Yeah. Maybe. That's a little scary. A little bit. I wondered if it like narrowly misses us. If we just look up, will we just see it go by? Probably.

We just step on our porch and be like, whoa, that was close. So I don't know. Just something to watch. We got eight years. I mean, I don't know. I'm not saying you need to like worry about it every minute, but like, I feel like 3% is a decent, a decent size. They say it's the largest percent chance of something hitting like this in 150 years. Wow. Makes you want to take notice.

Especially if the percentage chances keep going up. How does it go up so quick? It's just been a week. What is it? 70, 71% of the world is water. So there's a good chance it's going to go there. But that's even worse. That'll cause massive tsunamis.

And like, like, if it hits. it will do massive damage. All the shorelines. Wherever it hits. Yeah, wherever it hits. Let's go to Sean. What's up, Sean? I called him to agree with Ryan,

but I don't know if you realize you just made your show have a theme. You've tied in Asteroids, Armageddon, the movie, Aerosmith, and Liv Tyler, all in the last few minutes. That's true. The reason I agree with Ryan has nothing to do about the fan experience. It's all about the health of, uh, your baby, you're going to talk about taking a kid to a ball game. It's going to be about 13 degrees tonight, tip off.

You're going to have 20,000 people probably down there with God knows what kind of germs. If you got a small child, you just leave them at home because it's healthier for them. I did have a question. You all talked about BYU in Kansas. That kid that didn't come with Mark Pope here, is he doing anything out at BYU? Was that Saunders? Is that the kid we wanted? Yeah, I saw him playing last night.

I don't know what kind of year he's had. I appreciate the call. I think he's been decent, but I haven't heard like him being great. Yeah, I mean, I'm not sitting around watching BYU. I can BS if you want, but I just caught a little bit of Kansas game. I think they have the same record we do,

but playing in an easier conference. He scored a lot for him last night, but as far as what he's doing. Yeah, I did notice him out there, and I think we did want him, and he ended up staying. I just pulled up his stats. He's getting 15 points.

game this year. So we could have used him. Yeah. Yeah, we could have used him. That would have been, I mean, we could have used anybody with the injuries we've had. I mean, Pope did have 12 scholarship players, but it would have been nice. Probably if we had one more. It'd been nice to have had it. Should have four point guards, not three. Yeah, that's right. 859-280, 2287 will be right back. KSR. 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. Walker Mac, Tegi Sports Radio.

Text Machine 772-745254. One person writes, Matt, I knew the moment you did that that Ryan would bring up the God Bless Texas video. As a matter of fact, if there was someone next to me, I would have bet on it at that moment. He said it so much. He knew that was going to... Janet Jackson was coming out of my mouth next.

Yeah, don't... No. 859-2802287. One person writes, Matt, would you dislike Elon less if he saved us from the asteroid? Well, whether he does or not, he'll say he does. Like, the Elon stands are even crazier to me than the Trump stands. Like, the Trump stands at least, like, it's like political and people have lost their minds about politics, so I just, I just get that.

But the Elon stands. Like, when in human history have people been so obsessed over the richest person in the world? Like, we're supposed to not like that person. Don't look at history. When has it ever been good to put the richest person in the world in charge of things? Has that ever turned out? Well, ever? Can't think of a time.

I can't think of a time. Like, the idea that America, like, people just worship the richest. Like, I liked when Warren Buffett was the richest person. He didn't do anything. You didn't even barely know who he looked like. Yeah. Right? That's what the richest people should depart.

You can be the richest, but you also shouldn't be in charge. Those should be two separate things. The richest and the most powerful should be two different people. I'm going to take that view. So, no, Elon scares me a lot more than Trump. Because Trump at least wants to be liked. Elon just seems to just be like, whatever. Plus, I mean, like, when was it okay to start wearing a hat in the Oval Office?

Oh, was you wearing a hat? Yeah. Like, I love wearing hats. But I didn't, like, it would be respectful. I was always at the view like, you took your hat off when you went into. My man had his kid crawling on his head with a hat on. It's like, whoa, things have changed. I just feel like we've forgotten that every superhero movie has a billionaire that decides they want to control the world and then we need a superhero to stop them.

I feel like we've forgotten most 90s movies about this. Billionaires in charge of the world never works out. I've seen it in a zillion movies. Have you ever heard of a billionaire who's like, you know what, this dude, he cares about it. When has that ever happened? And in a lot of them, they build robots. And then we can't fight the robots. I feel like we're walking right into it.

You're not far from the robots killing us. We're walking right into it, guys. What's going to happen is the robots are going to stop the asteroids and then just murder Mario. Oh, no. Which is not nice. And Billy will be taking the picture of it when it happens. And he'll put it right.

He'll put it right up. Two things. First, KSR, KSpar trivia, mine with me hosting is going to be tomorrow night. I would tell you to call and make reservations, but our phone lines aren't working because of the snow. Hopefully they'll be working about his afternoon. But call and make reservations. Tell your friends.

You can be a finalist for the final prize, all that. Second, if you're not going to the game tonight, send me the ticket. I gave away 34 tickets for that game the other night in the snow. Was that Tennessee? I think it was. Yeah. I've already got a few. Send them to matt.

dot Jones at Kentucky SportsRadio.com, and I will get them to people who will be there and who will make noise. And also we try to give a lot of them to people who don't get to go. So I think I've already got like six or eight to give away. if you write me and ask me for them, what's going to happen, Drew? You're going to get blocked. You're going to not get any of them.

And you can't be like, hey, just wanted to check and see if they're still. Like, the answer is always no. There's not going to be any story you can tell me because I can't set that precedent. Right. So you can't say to me like, oh, my kid is, I mean, I'm sorry. I'm sure your kid's a wonderful person. I'm not setting the precedent that like. And Ryan doesn't want your kid there anyway.

So Ryan doesn't know if you write about your kid. Yeah, exactly. If you write about your kid, Ryan's going to be banning your kid. kid from walking in anyway. Get a babysit. But when I do put out the thing saying if you want tickets, that's when you write. And we gave a bunch of way last time and I will today if people have them to get them. I watched the first episode of the White Lotus.

Yes. I can't wait to discuss it with you guys. This isn't really a spoiler alert because nothing huge has happened. Correct. Except there's a body, but there's always a body. Yeah. Right? There's always a body.

I think it's really good. There are two things I really like about it. First of all, I love Uncle Baby Billy. and he's in it. He's kind of a jerk, though. He's kind of a jerk in Rochester. I mean, he's kind of a jerk. Have you seen justified?

He's kind of a jerk in that. That's what Walton Goggins is, right? But just having him there is great. I love that his girlfriend, the one woman, came up and said, Love your teeth. Yeah, you can't stop staring at her teeth. They kind of work for, I think, oddly. And then the fact that there's a couple there from Durham, North Carolina,

and they fight over Duke, North Carolina is kind of awesome. And as someone who went to college or went to law school in Durham, North Carolina, their voices, that is what people sound like there. I see a lot of people complaining about their accents. The accent in North Carolina is different in that part of North Carolina. It's like a different sort of drawl. North and South Carolina have a different voice. You know what I mean?

Like it's a different voice. And the families and the kid that plays a kid that went to Duke, That is exactly how they are at Duke. You want to know how obnoxious he is? That is how obnoxious they are at Duke. Preppy boys. That is a Duke frat guy to the max. They couldn't have cast it better.

And you know who that actor is? Well, you told me. Arnold Schwarzenegger's kid. Wow. He's good. He's good because he's a jerk on there. So highly recommend episode one. You liked it?

I can't wait for the next one to come out. Very good. Let's go to Corey. What's up, Corey? Hey, man. First time, long time. Who up? So kind of piggy back in off of, you said we should bring the walk on to fight Vanderbilt tonight.

Let's do it. Punch him right in the face. So I grew up in East Kentucky and Larry Stamper played for Coach Rupp back in the late 60s, early 70s. And he told us a story that Coach Ruff, we were oddly without playing Vanderbilt. And they had a big boy that. was just eating our lunch, right? So Coach Rupp looked at him and said, hey, I want you to go and get him thrown out of the game. So he comes up and gives him a good elbow to the chest and Larry gets thrown out and the Vanderbilt

boy gets a technical. But to keep the persona going, Coach Rupp had to pretend like he was chewing him out. So he comes over and says, what have I always taught you? He said, I told you to lead with your left, not your ride, and send him to the locker room. I like it. Listen, sometimes you got to get that dude thrown out. I appreciate the call. know how many times that's happened in history.

You know, we thought they would throw out, was it Rashid Wallace when Andre Riddick fought him? And they just gave him both technicals. I've always thought Patino got Riddick to get in that fight so they both would get thrown out because Rashid Wallace was too good. Yeah. And with the, Larry Stamper was before my time. But that's all I know about him is people talk about how he would go in and fight when they needed it. I don't think that's the only situation where he threw a punch. We had that with Lance Ware. Lance Ware was a little bit of that. Can go in and get that rough style.

Aaron fight. Yep. Lance did that. He's the last guy we've had. Well, we also had Aaron Bradshaw who kissed the guy in that fight before Larry's all. Everybody's got the different. Everybody's got a different technique.

Everybody's got a different technique. Jay Rock. What's up, Jay Rock? Hey, what's going on? Y'all, it's been a while. First off, I'm down here in Pikeville. You know, I live in the 606 now. And just keep praying for it down here.

I'm helping clean up. And prays for my homie, Mike Evans. Poor so has to live in West Virginia. but I got a couple things. In defense of Bob in Jamestown, I was watching Gilling's Island a couple nights ago, and man, lovey Hal, she looked good. I holl her.

That was really funny. It is looking like the Pikeville area is where it's really, it's really hit. Yeah, yeah. There were reports that I didn't really even know they had a flood, floodgate in Pikeville, and they had to close it. Oh, they had to shut it. That's what I saw some reports Saturday night.

I could see why they would have it. Because the downtown is kind of set under a little bit, everything else. So I could see that. Yeah. Well. Awful. And apparently the death toll is now like 16. You know.

The rest of the country, let me say this, the rest of the country could learn something from how Kentucky handles these disasters. You know, I want to give some credit to, I saw the floor speeches from the Senate yesterday. and the Senate is like 85% Republican. And Robert Stivers, who I think leads the Senate and who I've feuded with at various things over the year, but also worked with, he got up there and said, I just want to commend the governor and our response team. We're really good at this. And they're really good at this. And they deserve credit. And then Bashir said something similar about the Senate, Senate.

Like, that's what should happen in these situations. It should. It's not people talking about how bad people are. Like, I was like, that is a really. really, it used to be how it was, right? In this time watching people come together, this state does that well. And it really has for the last few years, because we've been hit with way more than we deserve. And so, kudos to both those guys, but especially to Stivers, that was a, that was big of him to do.

Jackie, go ahead, Jackie. First time, long time. Who are? What's up? So I've taught little kids, early childhood teacher for over 30 years. And this is, I kind of agree and disagree with Ryan, but the fact of the matter is, if you take a baby into that germ-infested petri dish, that first out of the collar was right. But you also have to consider their ears. You've got to put earmuffs on these kids.

They can't go in there. And with the war of the crowd, I'm not a pediatrician, but I can assure you it's damaging to their ears. The other thing is, I would say maybe up to three years old you could hold a kid on your lap. maybe the parents have got to use their common sense their kids going to be obnoxious and bother people don't take them ask their teacher their teacher will tell you how they'll behave in a crap there you go listen to this rind i appreciate to call getting some whereas no one took up for billy

rind getting some people taking up for him i will say going to every home game i see a lot of babies and i nine out of ten have big old ear muffed headphone things on so from what i've seen almost all of the parents or at least looking out of Do they do that at louder than life, Shannon? Do the kids wear... I think so. From what I can remember, I think they did have some sort of like... I can't imagine bringing a child a louder than life.

I don't think they had them in the pit, to be fair. I just... Why would you do that? That seems like I can't think of a worse idea than that. I was wondering the same thing. Yeah. You know, it may be February, but we still have ways to go this winter season. Thankfully, our friends at Cornbread Hemp can help you stay positive and cozy with their

One person writes on a text machine, Matt,

you know if Elon was with the Democrats, you'd be for it. you're just being hypocritical. I messed up. Help me about here. Where am I supposed to put this thing? Can't see what happened. There you go. I knocked my...

No, I don't trust any rich people ever. Ever. You know, I don't like rich people. There's like one rich person I know that I think I trust. I don't trust rich people. Democrat, Republican. So you don't trust yourself then. That's a difference.

There's a difference between rich and wealthy. I'm talking like, Uber wealthy people, don't trust them, any of them. Zuckerberg, Gates, I don't trust any of those people. You should not give the richest people in the world direct access to the government. People who have like the most contracts to the government giving them direct access, how do people think that's a good idea? It's scary, don't you think? I've already said it.

We're walking right into it. We need Batman and Spider-Man. Rich people are rich because they don't care about anything but money. money. Like, are you kidding me? When have you known a rich person who's, like, if you really are a generous soul, then they're going to give their money away? And there are rich people who do that. But when have you known a Uber rich person who wants control of government for the good of other people? You better know those people pretty well. Are we headed to a fallout between Elon and Trump? Yes. And if that happens, Elon has access to all these classified documents. But Trump's more powerful. Trump's more power. Because the average person loves Trump. They're still skeptical. in that battle Trump wins. I hope.

Elon to me is the scariest dude in the world. He's not, he, I don't mean to get off on this, but like he wants to be involved in all governments in the world. He's trying to get involved in every, like all of you folks that are worried about like a one world government,

how are you not worried about Elon? He's the scariest person in the world to me. Acts out of like Putin. I'm serious. Like that's This isn't political. Dudes like that. You know, I mean, Germany's having an election next week.

He's getting involved in that. Does that not scare you? I think we need to hit him with the mean girls. You don't even go here. Like, you're not from here. Well, he is an American citizen. But, I mean, like, we don't know his intentions. You all must.

Those people who are like, please, like, at least with Trump, he's elected. Right? Like, he can be. True. Like, this dude. Well, I find him to be the scariest person in the United States and in the world, except outside maybe Putin. Because at least he doesn't have nuclear weapons. I don't think.

I don't like that all three of the big billionaires are building underground layers right now. I don't like that all these billionaires who are Democrats just overnight became Republican and got access to the government. Does that not worry you? Sure. Like, they were all Democrats. So what do they believe in? Being rich. That's what they believe in.

Jackson. Go ahead, Jackson. Should they take a two-year-old of the game, though? Hey. They buy a ticket. Hey. Yeah, buy a ticket. Jackson, go ahead.

Hey, I have two points. My first point is I can't believe that nobody recognized Michael Kidd Gilchrist. Would you have recognized him, Jackson? You would have recognized him, wouldn't you? I was about six months when we won, and I would have recognized him. Good. Secondly, I have four younger siblings, and so it's really hard for us to go to games. And so I think that you should be able to buy a last.

seats, even if it is like $10 or $20, just because it's so difficult for us to be all of our kids to the game. That's just my take on it. I understand. Well, thank you, Jackson. I appreciate it. See, Jackson says you kids to know. We have faith in our youth.

Put Mario on John on for just a second. Mario, would you have known, would you know a picture of Keith Bogan's? A picture. A picture? No. If he's not in the jersey, I wouldn't know. All right. So if he's not in the jersey.

So let's not, thou doff, you know, what about Jody Meeks? By picture? Yeah, I know. But that's because you met him. No, he just has a distinct look. Okay. I'm a basketball fan too, so it's like. But, I mean, not knowing, you know, not knowing Bogan's.

That's top five leading score and hit. Would you know Kenny Walker by picture? Not really, no. Dude, he's probably out the door in Lexington. Like, he's everywhere in Lexington at any given point. All right, draft kings, let's do our pick of the night. Let's take Kentucky. How much to do it?

What's the score? spreads five and a half. I like Kentucky. That's pretty good. I'll say Kentucky covers. Wins and covers. All right. What about you?

I like Kentucky to cover. I'm feeling good, but I was also feeling good about Texas. And look where that got me. I didn't feel good about Texas. I picked them, but I didn't feel good. I feel decent about tonight. I think the crowd makes a difference. I don't like the snow, though.

We got to get everybody out there. Although the last snow game, we had a great crowd. That's true. So hopefully that happens again. Shannon, what do you think? Yeah, Vandy's been struggling on the road. I think it's going to be probably like an eight-point game. 78-70, let's say, somewhere in there.

We have to win. Have to. Cannot lose. You can't drop this one in time. If you win this one, I think we're one win away from like the tournament end. But more importantly, you have to win for seating. You have to win for momentum. We have to win because we're losing Saturday.

in Alabama. So we have to win tonight. Right. Yeah, I think Vanderbilt's beat us three of the last five. I think it's something like that. They swept us two years ago. Yeah, Cal lost in the senior day and tournament. Tournament back to back. Yeah. They also own us in football. Vanderbilt's kind of dad right now, if we're being honest. We need to get back to beating Vandy in sports. I already did it, Janen. I led the segment off. Okay. Won't you pay attention to the show? I got a lot going on over here. What do you have going on? What do you do? What are you doing? I'm good. I didn't hear you do it. That's okay.

So, pregame show is at 4.30 today. We'll be at the bar. It opens at 3. If you have tickets that you want me to give away, mat.jones at Kentucky Sports Radio, those of you that are going to the game, be loud, make noise. This one in the LSU game, we have to win.

We cannot lose these games. Tonight is the first of those. We'll see you on the pregame show. This has been Kentucky Sports Radio.

Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face. I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out. There was a large chunk of my 20s that I like was just so wanting to like be out of that phase out of my skin. And I just like really regret not living in the present more. You don't need to have everything figured out right now.

You just need to understand yourself a little bit better. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
