I hope everybody had an amazing Memorial Day weekend. You can give a shout on the Clark's Puppet Shop. Phone line 859-2802287, A Vision Auto Glass Text Machine,

So go on in here. We're in studio so I can pick out your calls. And you know that that means good things for some callers. Not so good for some of the others. That's all right. 859-280-2287. Full house here today. It is nasty outside. And I don't like it. I thought it was supposed to be summer. This whole weekend was like 59 degrees. and rainy. When do we, you know, the only positive effect of global warming is it's supposed to be warm, and we don't even get that. It's a weird Memorial Day weekend. I started a fire on Saturday. Set outside on my porch by fire, which was nice, but it didn't feel like the unofficial start of summer.

You started a fire. Well, I mean, I didn't like get sticks and rub stones together. I mean, I have a fire pit. But, you know, Memorial Day weekend, you don't think you're going to need a fire, but I did on Saturday. I was about say, look at you, camper Joe. No, not quite that. I hit a button. It's hooked up to propane. Well, good. Nice job with that.

But weird weather. You said you went to the Lexington soccer thing? I'm now a, I think we're called Railbirds. Had a great time. They call them railbirds? I believe that's what we're called. I'm still learning. Still learning the chance.

I didn't get any of the smoke bombs or a drum. I'm not all the way in yet. But it's a good time. We're apparently not very good, right? We got some growing to do. Been a while since they've won. They're in the last place in the West, and we played the last. team in the east and it was a draw.

So I guess the tunes are still is. But we're not definitively the worst. Correct. You all should go. It was a lot of fun. I know we did the show out there when there wasn't a match. But I had a blast. I've tried to, I mean, we did the show out there. I've tried to get involved with them in the show. And for whatever reason there's just been, I mean, we went out there.

So that was neat. But I'd love to do something with them. I think I want that to succeed. You know, I want sports. Louisville's team has succeeded, has succeeded. has succeeded a lot, not just on the field, although I think they've won it before, but just like it's a big thing in the city. And I'd like that to happen here too, Ryan, as well.

And if Drew said, they host Louisville coming up. I mean, that should be the game we all go to, and they host... I think they call it the Commonwealth Cup. July 26. Got a little time. July 26th. All right. So is it here? Yes. So we can go and yell at them.

Yes. All right. Well, either way, that was good. Ryan, did you have something with your lady? Are you crying that your son is about to leave you? What are you doing? A little of both. Yeah. I had a, I had a lemon life weekend.

What was the disaster? I broke my phone. Oh, no. Good. And you guys don't know it, but I broke my nose. What? Broke your nose? My nose is broken, like right up here.

I can't. It's awful. What do you mean you can't? It doesn't look broken. I know it. Thank God. It swole a little bit because it happened like Saturday nights. I've had a couple days keeping ice on it.

How did you break your nose? I don't want to tell you. It's embarrassing. We got to know now. Well, see, I mean, obviously we're going to know. First of all, were you diagnosed with a broken nose or are you just saying that you have a broken nose? I didn't go in. Oh, well, so you didn't break your nose.

I broke my nose before and it feels the same way. There's nothing they can do about it. There's nothing they can do for it. It can't do anything for it. You tell me there's not what modern medicine. There's not one. one thing they can do for a broken nose. Unless it needs set, but it doesn't need set.

How do you know? Because it looks straight to me. I mean, you already. It looks straight to you. Yeah. That's your medical diagnosis. It looks straight to you. First of all, you already have the worst snoring on earth.

This is not going to help. Maybe it fixed it. It's like Rookie of the Year when he broke his arm. I'm telling you, I have been breathing better the past 48 hours since it happened. Oh, so you think you popped it into play. I think like my deviated septum, it got. It got vated. Yes, I think so.

Was the broken phone and broken nose in the same movement? No, different days. So what did you do to break your nose? I can't tell you. No, no, no. You got to tell us. Monique witnessed it. She was, it happened over in Georgetown.

Monique witnessed it. She was all about after then. So you live close to Monique. Yeah. So you fell down. Yes. Okay. So you fell down walking up the stairs.

You hit your nose on the stairs. No. Okay. What was it then? Gosh. Say it. You know the herbies, you put your stuff in, the trash, your herbies. I don't know what that means.

You know, your herbie that you take it out to the corner. Okay, you mean a trash. Yeah. Okay, yeah. We call them herbies. All right. We were doing some yacht landscaping. We're putting the weeds in the herbie.

And it was in the grass. And we were done. So I was going to pop it back up on the sidewalk. You know, give it a real hard push to pop it from the grass up on the sidewalk. Okay. And I did it, and it didn't pop on the sidewalk. And I face planted right on the candle. of the Herbie.

Okay. So you punched yourself onto a trash can. Yes. That was the better explanation. You punched yourself with a trash can. Yes. And there was blood everywhere. And so you were bleeding everywhere.

Everywhere. There was never a moment you thought maybe I should get this looked at. Yes. Yeah. But when I had my vertigo, I went to the emergency room. It cost me $5,000. Like, I'm not spending another $5,000 when I'm broken nose. It costs you $5,000.

Yes. I'm still paying on that bill. For what? Emergency rooms. CAT scans, ETKGs, all this mess. Do you have insurance? Yeah, but it's awful. It's not good.

It's a cheap insurance. It's not very good. I mean, you're getting old. I know. And you're getting yourself with trash cans. Yeah, I mean, you literally punch yourself in the face with trash cans. Have you contemplated getting insurance that, I mean, when I have had, unfortunately, go to the emergency room at times with my, you know, when I had the seizure stuff, people get scared.

And then I know, it doesn't cost me $5,000. Yeah. Crazy. It doesn't cost anything close to $5,000. So I was not going back to emergency room for that. Okay, why don't you get new emergency? I'm going to have to. I'm going to have to.

You know you work at a company that has insurance. But I'm just because they're a part-time employee. I can't get it. I've tried. What do you've tried? I've tried to get on the insurance plan. So when you have your contract negotiations. I've tried that.

I tried that last time. Didn't work. And what happened? They can't do it part-time. But why don't you say, why don't you make me full-time? I don't think they want to. Then you got to work 30 hours a week. week. They don't want to give insurance a guy who's breaking his nose on trash cans. It's expensive.

I mean, it hurts so bad. Like if you wipe your nose, you kind of go like that. There's a thing in Kentucky, at least for now, until they pass this bill. There's like a portal where you can get insurance. I tried that. Why don't you get that? Well, I'll tell you off the air. All right. Well, I don't get in your business. What a weekend. You know, you're depressing. And I'm sorry. Yes. What happened to the phone?

Dropped it and it fell like this. So I can't charge it. The SIM card doesn't work. That's going to make it hard to work. Everything on this end doesn't work. Everything on the bottom end of the phone doesn't work. It's a perfect time for you to get an iPhone and we can all be blue in the group text. So exactly.

Let's get an iPhone. I've already, I got a exchange program. I got a new Android coming today. He won't quit. He won't quit. Can I ask you a question? Are you getting one? one, like older one?

Like, are you getting one that's even older than one you have because it's cheaper? It's the same. It's a, the warranty program I had is the exact same phone. Old Android. All right. He's spending more on his mortgage program that he has his insurance. Yeah. I mean, first of all, what are you doing my warranty programs?

You know that all warranty programs with electronics are a scam. Well, maybe not for you because you can't because you break them all the time. Actually, I misspoke. It's the insurance on the phone, not the warranty. Even worse. The warranties, you know, you don't buy insurance. Oh, I'd do for all my phone. Of course you do.

The boys' phones, my phone. Why don't you get a case? I had a case, and it broke, and I haven't replaced it. His phone's insured more than he is. I've dropped so many time with the case on. The case broke. When you said Ryan, how is your Memorial Day weekend? I did not expect to pill back all the layers of this onion.

This is a lot. It was awful. Shannon, you know we love Ryan. Yeah, of course. But he is pitiful. Like, just he is absolutely pitiful. like all levels, if a disaster can strike. You know what he needs? He needs serve pro just for life. Oh, yeah. Just like a person who comes around and make sure he can like contribute to society without causing a

disaster. He's like an urchal. Like everything he touches breaks or he like falls apart. Did I do that? All right. So there's your two weekends. I was ready to have the weekend of Matt. Yeah. Okay? Like, as the British leisure, like, just going to be completely, everything's great. So, Cubs are in town for the weekend series.

I thought, you know, if I want to, I could go to all these. Sure. I could go to all three up. It'll be fun. Went Friday night. Never been that mad. at a non-UK game in anything in my life. Even the Bears, when the kicker,

Cairo Santos missed that field goal in the playoffs, not as mad as I was Friday night. Because you know how you can see disaster coming, right? You can see it and you know it's coming and you want to tell everyone to stop, but you can't. That was me. Six-two Reds going into the seventh inning.

It's an important game. We're playing the team that leads the division, right? We're trying to catch them. We're up 6 to 2. And they bring in Shannon, stupid Ian Jeboe. And I knew when I saw, first place, like number 57, never put in somebody that's number 57. Name me a great 57 in sports history. I didn't even know they could make a 57.

They don't even have 57. No one even contemplates a 57. And he comes in, and you remember he was the guy that blew opening day. Oh, it was the same guy. Same guy. And I knew when he walked on the field, we're losing this game. And then he allows a hit. Then there is a little, like, McLean gets the ball hit right to him.

All he has to do is tag the guy. He gets a double play. He goes to tag Shannon misses him. He's running right in front. He misses him with the little bitty arms. He can't get him. misses him. Then they hit like the worst little bloop,

three guys, it falls right between them, and then it's on. They go from six to two, Shannon, to 13 to six. Yeah. And they should have been out of the ending.

If we don't be the Matt McQueen-Jolms had been able to reach the guy, I got up, so it was six to four. And then, you know, Medicine Crow Armstrong or whatever the guy's name is on the,

He killed us the whole series. What's his name? Jace Crow Armstrong. I like Medicine Crow. Old Man Medicine Crow. He hits a Grand Slam. And the moment he hits a grand... I just get up and I'm like, forget it.

I'm not doing this. This is supposed to be the weekend of Matt. And then I didn't even watch the other two games. We won one of them. We lost the other one. But I was like, I'm taking a break. You all have frustrated me. Now, I watched yesterday they beat Kansas City.

But I was so mad. Ian Jeboe. I would trade Ian Jebo. for an android. He's the worst. He's the worst. He's become my second least favorite red besides Jumbo Diaz of all time. And I knew Drew when they put him in.

And it wasn't even really his fault. But I knew he's just got such bad energy. I'm going to pat myself on the back. Last week when I said when we get back from the three-day weekend, Matt's going to have a red's meltdown. Right on cue. I'm injured. It was such a bad loss.

I texted you Friday night. And I was sitting in my car leaving when you text to me. You go, this is a horrible loss. And I'm like, you think so? I'm trying to get out of traffic. Will you leave me alone? And you only got four more months of this. Just think.

Four more months of the reds. You're wearing your reds jersey today. You look like you're about to play and suit up for the Reds. This is quite a jersey and a hat. It is a nice shirt, though. It is a nice shirt. But yeah. So anyway, I was very frustrated.

And I thought I had the worst weekend of the group. And then I didn't realize Sammy broke his nose. over here on a trash can was going to be in as well. And I broke my phone the next day. Listen how sad he said. And the blaze is just blood all over the street. You got to do something about your insurance. Because you're going to end up, this is not the first injury to come.

There are hips. There are hips to break in your near future. We need to get you some insurance. I agree. If you're an insurance agent that will not rip him off, maybe reach out. Did you have this same insurance policy when you let Cash Daniel put you through a table? I'm wondering about some decision-making too. Yeah, maybe that's it.

Gosh, just get some good insurance. Yeah. It was just cheap insurance they were offering to realtors. You know, we had to get our own insurance. So I took it. Didn't really read the fine print. There you go. Didn't really read what I was doing.

859-280-2287. We will take a break. Little Kentucky news, we are a day away from the O-A decision. What's going to happen? Be right back. Last night, a blown call changed the game. This morning, The internet lost its mind.

experience in the mental health field and conference. conversations with so many incredible guests. I'm talking. Tripp Fontaine, Ryan Clark.

He felt destined for greatness. So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey. I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies I've ever come across. When Jacob met Levant this plant to a billion dollar fraud. But with two kings from entirely different worlds, just how long can their empire survive? the largest tax investigation in American history. You need to tell me what you know.

Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life. Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential.

Either way, the podcast. Podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back, Tucky Sports Radio. You know I was giving you a hard time, but to be fair, your example about health insurance is really one of the problems with our health care system right now. because you make too much money to get in the Obamacare stuff.

Right. But you really don't make enough money to where you don't have to worry about cause. Yes. And that middle ground is where a lot of Americans are that get screwed about a lot of things. Yep. I mean, not just health care. Like there's an amount of money that's really not enough money to live comfortably. But also not enough, not too little money or excuse me, too much money to get some of the stuff that we need.

and that that stinks. So I hate that for you. At the same time, you need to not bang your head into trash cake. Very true. Face plant into a herbie. So there's a little bit of that. One person writes, I like on the text machine, I like listening to Ryan

because he makes me feel better about my life. Well, that's nice. It's kind of harsh to say to him, but yeah, I mean, you came in thinking you're complaining about the reds and here he is with a broken nose and a broken phone. I was all upset about Ian Jabot. And then I got Mr. Phone nose break over here.

But I get a brand new and. Android later today. Yeah, but still we'll have green tech, Shannon, and we'll still ruin our group chat. You're not even upgrading. You're getting the exact same phone. You could have upgraded, Ryan. Why didn't you just go ahead and upgrade? Splur. It would cost more money. Exactly. All right, so

one person writes, Matt, you are once again wrong. Ian Jabot's number is not 57. It's 79. Even worse. 79. 79. He's an offensive lineman out there. And by the way, he's built like an offensive lineman in the

That's what he's Oh, is he really? He's a big dude. He's got a belly. He's French. French. How many French baseball players? This was a patriotic weekend.

Why is he in the game anyway? Yeah. All right, before we go, the phones. Jordan, why did you go? I was going to lead off with you. Otega away. Yeah. We had a lot of guys who today and yesterday announced they were

they're leaving or coming back. Excuse me. PJ Haggerty, the number of leading score says he's coming back. to college. He's going to Kansas State. Houston's guard, the point guard, he's coming back. So some big guys have made their decision. We haven't heard anything from

O.A. Concerned at all, he's got till tomorrow at midnight. Not really. And if I were him, you know, I wouldn't wait till midnight, but you might as well see the whole process through. I don't know if he has anything scheduled in the last 24 hours. But other than just trying to put the fan base at ease, there's really nothing to come back

to in Lexington right now. I mean, Pope was in D.C. yesterday. There's nothing going on for the basketball team. What's it going to find out the next 40? Well, if you can get one more workout in or one more part of the process, I don't know their schedules, probably nothing at this hour. But I would take it to the very last minute just for the experience. But I still haven't seen any real, maybe one mock draft has him at like number 59 or something.

I haven't seen anything that suggests he'll be the where he wants to be in the draft. So I'm not too worried. Worried at all? No, not really. Cheney, you are? No, no, no, no, no. No, no. I think he comes back.

I saw the other, you know what, Carter Knox announced he's going back to Arkansas. Hubbard's going back to Mississippi State. So these SEC guards, it's all starting to happen. I expect to hear it from, oh, way, maybe by the end of the day, that he's going to come back to Kentucky. Now, wait a minute. No, just my total feeling.

I have no inside knowledge. Okay. It seems like. Because you're on a, you've had a tough run on the scoops. Yeah. I'm just saying, it wouldn't surprise me if he just like, hey. But this isn't the inside knowledge. No, not at all.

All right, good. Billy came in here, Shannon, and goes, let me see your nose and see Ryan go, see it straight. And Billy goes, mm-hmm. let's get a ruler out and make sure it's straight it does have a little cut over on the side i can see where it got you yeah i do feel bad for you it feels like i had a friend in high school named dj who it felt like everything bad always happened to i kind of feel like you you've had a run of this yeah i mean your house caught on fire for crying out of fire you know you've had a run of this we need to snap you out of it you know i don't know how we do that maybe we

to go back to that place in Denver and reverse the curse the lemon life. Reaverse. Part of the problem is you say things like instead of reverse, reaverse. Well, that's a special kind of reverse. And when we went there, we bought sage to burn and you dropped it in water. That's true. 59-280-2287. A couple of lines. Give a shout. Let's go to Cameron. Go ahead, Cameron. Hi, guys. First time, long time. Who was actually just calling. I got an employee that has listened to your all's radio show for about five years

hasn't missed a day of it. And today I hadn't heard from him. So I was actually calling because I know he's list. I was going to call him to him to get into work. And he knows who he is, Landon. Landon knows who he is. He knows who he is. Landon. Landon, why do you think

Landon is not at work? Man, anything. Any reason could be the reason. He hadn't called in once. All right. So tell Landon why he needs to show up to work here at 1026. Well, we got some wires that need to be pulled, and he ain't here to pull him. There you go.

They got wires that need pulled, and Landon is not there to pull him. Can you give me, you don't have to give me the town if you don't want, can you give me a part of the state where Landon needs to be pulling the wires? He needs to be in Lexington. I'm sure he's in Bativore right now. Oh, okay. What's going on there? feels like there's probably a woman in Beatty. Is there a woman in Battyville?

Yeah. Yeah. That's those woolly worm women. You got to be careful with them. Them woolly worm women. You got to watch. All right. I appreciate to call Cam, Landon. You need to leave the woolly worm. Come pull your wires that you need to be pulling in in Lexington. That was a festival. We were talking about festivals. We forgot the woolly worm festival. That's a that's a whole big thing. There was a girl when I went to Trancy who was very pretty and she had, she was very meager. Like she didn't, not meager is not the word, meek. She didn't like talk a lot. She was very pretty.

She had a big accent. And she would talk about the woolly worm festival. And when she said it, she kind of made the guys melt. And I've always associated her with the woolly worm festival. So I feel like I can understand why Landon might have stayed. Maybe that's why Landon's there. Maybe it's her. Yeah.

But imagine you're Landon. You're living your best. life, just turn on your favorite radio show and you're getting called out by your boss for not being there to pull wires. That's got to be a shocking thing to hear on the airways. Do you think if Otega Oway were to decide to go to the draft, which I don't think he's going to? I assume Mark Pope probably has in his mind a backup. Would you agree with that? I would think so. And he also would have a lot of money to go get one. Yes. But just the way he's been talking, the way that Oway is not really projected anywhere. I mean, I don't want to KSR curse anything or get a guarantee

wrong, but I just can't imagine he would take any other option but the money on the table and the opportunity at Kentucky next year. And you know, Mark Pope told you he wouldn't do an interview until his roster was finalized. That's true. That's exactly what they said to me. And then he did the interview. Yep. So, yeah, I would think so. It's interesting that PJ Haggerty dude from Memphis, there are reports he got a million less dollars. He waited so long. Really? That teams spent more money on other things, and he basically had to take a million less dollars. He was going to be the highest paid player in college basketball, and maybe now he won't. And he ends up at Kansas State where they spent a bunch of money last year and it didn't work out.

Why didn't even want to go to Kansas State? I don't get it. I don't know. They loaded up a year ago and didn't do anything with it. Is Hugo still there? No, he's a Virginia Cavalier now, I think. Who goes at Virginia? I think so. I'll double check that, but I think Ugo's at Virginia. Boy, I don't see him in that system. Do you? No. Wow. All right. 859-280-20287. We will take a break. Beardbacks, 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. Oh. By the way, that's going to sound really weird on the podcast. On the regular show, that sounds perfectly normal. But me doing that on the podcast, Shannon, you.

got to remind me of that before I just moan. No, that's my favorite part of the podcast. You're just yelling and singing falsetto to random songs that nobody else can hear. All right, all right, folks, with basketball season over. Now it's the perfect time to tackle that remodel you've been putting off.

Tell him if I were there, I would hug him. That's very nice. I appreciate that, but that song is our Lemon Life theme song, I believe. Because, man, if Lemon Luck, if it's bad, it's going to happen to us. There's no doubt. People are making comments about what Landon's doing at the Woolly Worm Festival. I can't read these on the here, folks. You have to understand.

I mean, I like the devil entendres. But I can't say those up here. UK baseball makes the NCAA tournament. All right. How about that? Didn't look like they were going to. It was a bad weekend for them because all the bubble teams, like a lot of the teams that were guaranteed in,

lost in their conference tournaments. There were a lot of stolen bids. Western Kentucky stole one. Cal Poly stole one. Nebraska won the Big Ten tournament. So it wasn't clear they were going to be in. As a matter of fact, in the final D1 baseball mock bracket, Kentucky was the first team out.

But then not only they make it, the NCAA committee says they weren't even one of the last four in. So they were actually a lot more in than we realized. So they go to Clemson. They're in a region with West Virginia, Clemson, and UC upstate, or, excuse me, South Carolina upstate. West Virginia, they played last year in the tournament.

You know, they're in a region where they have a fighting chance. You know, this really may be Minji Oans' best coaching job. Even though they went to the World Series last year, they lost everybody off that team. They had like one position starter back. They had one starter. Devin Burke was their only starter back, lost all their weekend pitching staff, and yet he rallied the team, got them to where they were making a, getting the NTA tournament, and they have.

So this really may go down as his best coaching job since he's been here. Yeah, I didn't feel great watching the selection show live because they were one of the last team's in. Cal Poly got a three seat. I think Miami jumped in and stole someone's spot. About halfway through, we're kind of throwing our arms in the air like this. It's going to end well for us. Then they get in and I love to draw.

Looking up those teams, they're kind of limping in. You avoided a lot of big names. And just that stat of Kentucky leading in 28 of 31 SEC games gives me hope they can compete with anyone if they can just finish the job. The bullpen has to get it figured out. moving on, but they can play some good baseball, and I like that spot. You don't have to travel far. Oregon was projected

on Sunday before it all got shuffled around, so might get some fans there. So they play Friday at noon against West Virginia. And then if they win, they would play Saturday, probably evening against Clemson. But they got a shot.

Well, yeah, they've played against some of the best teams in the country, which happened to be SEC teams. They did fairly well going head-to-head against the top-level teams in the conference, why can't they go down there and win this thing? Why not us, right? And just, I don't know what Mention has to do to hit the reset, but that Vandy series and then leaving six or seven people on base in Hoover, put that all behind you because they finished the season very poorly.

Forget about that move on because they are capable of playing really good baseball. Yeah, they are. And they got a shot. We were going to go and then I roused the KSR golf scramble is Friday, which makes it to where it's going to be unlikely for us to do it. But I will be pulling for them. I looked up they have the top 150 players in the country, and only one person in this regional is in them. So like the talent levels are, Clemson has an outfielder that's projected to go in the first round.

His name is Cam. We shouldn't throw to him. But besides that, let's go win. And let's steal more from West Virginia. It feels like we've been taking. We took their players, both football and basketball. That's true. And we beat them last year in the tournament.

Let's just keep piling on West Virginia. Yeah. I checked our friends of draft kings were plus 300 to win the regional. I might dabble on that a little bit, make a little three to one odds on that. It feels like plausible, right? Yeah, it's not too bad. I like it. Like I said, I like the draw.

I like the spot. 859-280-2287. Congrats to Mingeo. Yes. Because, I mean, even Mingeon himself told me, I don't know about this year. And now they were able to take a bet. First time, Shannon, in school history, they've made three straight NCAA tournaments. It's a pretty amazing stat.

Yep. He lost a lot from last year. He was able to rebuild and put together a team to make the tournament. So I think they can make some noise in that region. And they got a lot of guys, I think, will be back next year. So hopefully they will have some continuity, too, going forward. Yeah, because he had to start with basically nothing. Devin Burke can go from there this year.

So congratulations. Tyler, how are you, Tyler? Pretty good. Matt, I know her name ain't often, but what did you? your future look like talking at Crystal Ball, speaking of women? First of all, she's married. But people, people have enjoyed that conversation. I knew Crystal when she, Crystal Ball is like a, she hosts a show called Breaking Points.

She does not have a brother named basket, like you said, Ryan. Cousin named foot. No, cousin named foot. But yeah, I knew her when she was in Louisville. She lived in Louisville for a few years. But she's great. And did you enjoy the interview? or did you just want to like give me a hard time?

No, man, I've really enjoyed every episode of the podcast and the Sunday show with Myron. Everything you guys are doing for us, we really appreciate it. And I just wanted to call in. That's very nice, I mean. Thank you very much for that. Let me give you quickly, guys, three things that happened yesterday on the Matt and Myron Sunday morning show to get your take on. All right. First of all, we had Joel.

Maul McGlor on. Oh, you did. Very excited for you. Nice. So, you know, when they're playing this game this summer, Shannon, guess the Wildcat. And they're bringing on former, like, you got to listen for this if you're a Kentucky fan. They're just bringing on former Wildcats all summer to national ESPN radio.

Because they hear me talk about Kentucky so much. We had Travis Ford on the first one. They're got to make the questions harder because I guess them immediately. They're like, he was the center from 96, from 97 to 2000. Oh, I think I got that. But what they didn't realize, Shannon, is that's like one of my two or three favorite players. When a player's name is part of your email address, that's how you know, you're a super fan. For many years, for many years was McGlore 52 at Hotmail.com.

When I posted on Kentucky Sports Report.com beginning in 1997, you're McGlore 52? I was McGlore 52. Wow. And yet, I had never spoken to it. Really? I'd never talk to him. And he doesn't sound like you think he would. Like you probably remember.

Yes. But in your mind, Shannon, Drew, think about what you think Jamal McGlore sounds like. He doesn't sound like that. He sounds Canadian. He does. He sounds very Canadian, as a matter of fact. And it threw me off a little bit, Drew, because I'm expecting Jamal McGlore.

I realized it had been so long, I didn't really know what he sounded like. And then this like, eh, comes on. And it was kind of shocking to be honest. Of course, I remember Jamal McGlore. I love watching him, but I don't remember hearing any interviews or press conferences or him talking at all back then. So that would throw me off, too, if he just started speaking about it. He is Canadian to talking like Canadian.

Did you fanboy out a little bit? Oh, for sure. Yeah. Don't geek. If you hear the intro, I'm like, I love you, Jimabal McLaugh. Were you doing the Chris Farley? Remember when? No, I did.

I was like, remember when you put Wojo in the rack? Hey, do you remember when you beat the mascot up from Miami of Ohio? He was the enforcer that has been missing from a lot of UK teams since then. He was the guy, you weren't going to come down the lane, you weren't going to get an easy one with him back there. A couple things about McGlore, too, people forget. McGlore was the very first college athlete to have his own web page. Oh, he was. He had Jamalmaglore.com.

And the NCAA initially told him to take it down. They said, we're not going to allow players to have a presence on the internet. Now, think about how ridiculous that sounds today. But in like 98, he put up his own website and the NCAA initially tried to get it shut down. So he was a trailblazer, Shannon, Jamal McGlore. Yeah, now everybody's got a TikTok and, you know, profile pages on social media. They should send Jamal McGlore some thank you. Did you tell him that McGlore 52 was your?

persona? I did. I did. He didn't answer. So I couldn't see his face if he thought that was weird or not. But for people who have been on the internet a long time, I mean, my career was basically, I posted on message boards as McGlore 52. And I got a little bit of a following, not much of one, but a little bit of a following, then a little bit more and then a little bit more. And I was kind of, for people in that era who are probably in their 40s, you might remember McGlore 52. And that was kind of, and that was when I went to Kentucky Sports Report and said, well, you let me put this podcast up and they said, no. They said, we don't want that.

And so then I started Kentucky SportsRadio.com just to have a place to put my podcast because the people at Kentucky Sports Report would not allow me to even post a free one. So if they had just said yes, you all probably wouldn't have to deal with me because I would have just been a lawyer. But I was so stubborn because everybody said no that you ended up with this. Did you try posting it to Jamalmaglore.com? Oh, he would have let me. What did he have on that site? Did he TikTok dance and just upload the video to a server?

Maybe somebody else would remember. I don't remember. But I remember it was like a thing, Jamalmiglore.com. Also, you're 52. Wasn't he number 42? How did you come up with? My high school number was 52. So I combined the best of McGlore.

Gotcha. With the best of me. Is he still coaching? You're talking about jersey numbers. Not a lot of 52s out there. 52 is a big number. Is he still coaching? He is the Raptors Community Liaison in Toronto. Remember he was an NBA All-Star one year.

He was and he almost won the MVP. Yes, that's right. People forget. McGlore was in the NBA All-Star guy. He led the East in scoring for the game and the West won at the end. But if the East had won, he's MVP. Jamal McGor might have been the all-star MVP.

We'll take a break. Be right back. It's Kentucky Sports Radio. 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.

So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey. I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies, I've ever come across.

When Jacob met Levan this went to a billion-dollar fraud. But with two kings from entirely different worlds, just how long can their empire survive? The largest tax investigation in American history. You need to tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life. Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the I-Heart Radio app,

What person writes, Matt, I heard you with McGlore. I could see your smile the whole time. I've never heard you geek out like that since Patty Loveless. That's probably true. It was a Patty Loveless-esque geek. It's hour three of Matt Meierd if you download it online. Did they know your affinity for Jamal McGlore? No.

So they had no idea when they booked it. They're just booking random Kentucky people. they had no idea until I said. Like they just, you know, they're trying to get people who went to Kentucky that will come on, but also we can talk about something else. So I'm not just sitting there going, you remember Kentucky's day in for game? Like they want to, you know, because he was in the NBA for so long and all that. You know, after his junior year, he went through the process and it was a big deal.

Was he going to come back for a senior year or going into the NBA draft? He played the NBA for 12 years. Yeah. Like people don't realize 12 years he was in the NBA. That's pretty good. Would you have imagined when he was a freshman or sophomore in college? That dude would have been in the NBA for 12 years? No.

And like we said, not just in the NBA, he was a force, an all-star that one season. He was good. One person writes, Matt, my wife and I were going to church, and I got her to turn on your show, and then you made her furious. When you said that what you said about the Indy 500, as an Indianapolis native, she made me turn it off. I did make a comment that made some waves. What was it?

I said the Indy 500 shan. was like the Kentucky Derby for people who don't shower. I can get behind that. I like that comment. And it did, the phone lines lit up with people from Indiana, including people at the race that were not happy about. Yeah. But I stand by it.

The Derby is classy. The Indy 500 is trashy. Exactly. That's exactly right. The Indy 500 is like, you know, you're smelling exhaust fume. You can't be that nice when you're smelling exhaust fumes the whole time. Twice as many people, right? $300,000.

It's not a competition as to who. The question is, what is a more... But you have seen what goes on in the infield at the derby. It's gotten a little classier lately. What goes on the infield at the Derby is Millionaire's Row at the NB 500. I'm just saying. Dave Letterman's usually always there. So they were very mad at me, but I just doubled down on it.

And then I kept my line about Indianapolis as the Applebee's of cities. You know. Oh, you waged war. Wow. I do think Indianapolis, outside of when they have a big event, is like it's just a strip mall. It's one big strip mall. And the Indy 500 while it's enjoyable is also just one big strip mall in some ways. I'm from Indiana.

I grew up watching it. I went one time and said, I will never come back to this event. Ever. We were just there in March. Wasn't much to write home about. No. I mean, it was fine. It was fun.

The 10 roof was fun, but it's okay to do something else. Jordan, go ahead, Jordan. Hey, so I actually have a couple questions. The first thing, though, is I'm going to be in Louisville, actually, this week. And I know that Drew does a little golf, and I don't know about you guys. So what is a good golf course there that I can go to is my first question. We've gotten more golf course questions than we've ever gotten. Well, I thought Perseman Ridge was public, but it's not.

I don't know. Like, the problem is that everything in the world. I booked a tea time. I booked a tea time at Covered Bridge. Yeah, that's nice. That's fine. No, actually, Covered Bridge is really nice. But that's in Southern Indiana.

Yeah, yeah, that's a really nice course. You could, that's a good call. And then what's the one? What's the other one over there in Southern Indiana? The one you and I've played. What was the name of that one in Southern Indiana? I've played golf with you in Southern Indiana. Yeah, we played it as a resort one time.

I don't think that was me. Okay, well, it was just, it was. It was someone that made me think of you. But yeah, Covered Bridge is a good call. The problem is all the courses in Louisville, they're either run by the city. And there's one run by the city, though, that's the name of a person that's pretty good.

What's that? Whichever one, if you look at Louisville City courses. Is it Charlie Vettner? That's it. I pulled up a list. I don't recognize a lot of these, but that's a name. Yeah, the one that's a name. That one's pretty good, too.

So enjoy yourself. Good luck. It's Covered Bridge, the Fuzzy Zeller? course. Yes. We did a show out there way back in the day. Oh, that's right for the, it was the epilepsy scramble. Yes, it was. Wow. Yep. We sure did. That is a, that's a long, it was a long time ago. Yeah, that was a long time ago for the, for the epilepsy scramble. Yeah, 859-280, 2287. A couple open lines. I have, I have some recommendations for you of things to pass your time. Okay. And these are

recommendations that I think every single person, you know, sometimes I'm like, this may not be your thing. Like the book, all fours, don't keep bringing that up. I told you not to read Shannon unless you were a certain kind of person. I, you know, James and martyr, yes, all four. That was, that was not for everybody. These three are for everybody. Book, I'm reading, and almost finished, I got like 20 pages left, the Pete Rose, Charlie Hustle. Oh, yeah? Everyone would like it. Whether you like Pete Rose, whether you hate Pete Rose, whether you like baseball or don't like baseball, it is a great book. I have learned more about him than I knew before, including some things that are bad about him that I didn't even know it happened. But it's also just a story of a person who is kind of a normal troubled person who all of a sudden gets thrust in the national spotlight.

And I also didn't realize what a national superstar he was. like the fact that the Today show went live from Cincinnati. They did their show in Cincinnati when it looked like he was going to break Ty Cobb's record. Think about that. Could you see that happening for any baseball thing now? Probably not. Not today. Not today.

They didn't do it for Aaron Judge. Yeah. I mean, who knew that? So that's one. Second thing, I think everyone outside of like college kids and younger would like the show four seasons on Netflix with Tina Faye and Steve Correll. Have you seen it? I've been watching. I think I've seen three or four of them.

It's not the best, but I do think it's a good time passer. You could watch it. And it gets better as it goes. Short episodes, too. Short episodes. First episode, but as you keep going, it gets better. And then I think the last few are actually really good. I think, Ryan, you would really like it.

It's about 50-something couples. It's like your love. Perfect. You would really enjoy it. And then again, it's not great. But I think everyone could enjoy the show with John Hamm breaking into people's houses. I watched four of those last night. Isn't it? It's pretty good. Friends and neighbors. Friends and neighbors. It's John Ham,

you know, he's like, again, in his 50s, middle-aged handsome, and now he's like, he's breaking into people's houses. Because he lost his job and he doesn't know what to do. And so he just takes all his rich friends and then he breaks into their houses. I watched a little TV this weekend. Okay, but before you get to your awful TV, those are three good recommend. Charlie Hustle, four seasons and friends and neighbors. I can give those all a stamp of approval. Now, go ahead. Pee Wee Herman.

It's good. It's out. It's out. Was it good? It's really good. You liked it? Yes. On HBO?

Yes. And what made it good? He's awesome. I'm in. Well, there you go. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smigel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make
