Now here's Matt Jones. Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-2802287. A heart spotlight day. Mario looks so nervous. Why is he nervous? Well, because he has to set everything up. Like he went and rented a camera to like go. with the camera he has, so he has two different shots.

Is he's setting up in a different studio here or something? He and Billy have been working on this for like 48 hours to try to make this look. I don't know how it's going to look. Well, like I said, I'm so proud of you get dressed up. You did shave today. I shaved. I thought like that was a good step. Yeah.

Right? Not have stubble. Glasses. Well, I'm not going to wear the glasses in it, but I'm wearing a Marine. Is that a harness racing hat you've got on? What is that? It's not a harness racing hat. It's just a hat.

It's like, you know, I don't know. A horse pulling a horse pulling a. buggy. Exactly. It's a horse full and a buggy hat. Yeah. It's a

nominish hat. Yeah. So 859-2802287. Before I go, the phones, here we go. Chuckie cheese in Lexington is closing.

I got to admit I'm sad. A lot of my memories of taking my boys out to Chuckie cheese over the years. It definitely kind of gives me

a little, you know, sentimental feeling when I think about the Chuckie cheese in Lexington. We've done a show there. Are you sad? I'm not sad. I want to

congratulate them on an unbelievable run. The fact that they made it to August 5th, 2025 is incredible. So good for you, Chuck Echese. I can't say that I've been in 30 years, but I, the fact... Did you go when we did the show there that one time? No, no, no. That was the only time I've been, maybe ever, but certainly in a long, long time. When did we do a show to Chuckie?

I don't know. Ryan and I did once. We did a remote at Chuck E.C.C.C. Did you have to take a kid with you? No. No, that was part of our conversation. is, are you allowed in a Chucky Cheese without children? That's right.

We had that wrong conversation. I think that's why they brought us. We were having a conversation about how it would be really weird to go to a Chucky Cheese without kids. And they did what businesses should do. We were kind of critical of it. And rather than get mad, they brought us out. You remember? And we came out there and we actually had a good time.

Because secretly, their pizza is, I always thought pretty good. Yeah, because I remember what it was. Okay, now I remember. I had had to go out there. There was a friend of mine had taken his kids out there and we went. And I talked about how like snotty kids and their breathing and all that. And then, but then they brought us. Yes.

And the food was good. Gave us pizza. And we had a big crowd of adults and children. They explained their security system they've got to allow people in and out. You have to get a stamp on your hand. Your stamp has to match the kid's stamp. When you come in? So people just can't come in and walk out with a kid.

you get at a security in place. I remember them telling that story. I didn't remember that. They stamp you so you can't take other people's kids? Yeah, like my stamp and like Gavin stamp would match. So if I walk out, they check. I don't remember that at all. Okay.

But anyway, they're gone now. I know that I saw a couple weeks ago a random guy dressed as Chuck E. Cheese got arrested. Yeah, saw that. What did he do? I don't know what it was, but. Yeah, he got, there was a, they were arrested a Chuckie Cheese. In Lexington?

No, no. This was somewhere else. Yeah. Yeah. Somewhere else. a guy got arrested and he had the Chucky Cheese uniform. I just know that it's him though. Am I right?

Didn't basically another Chucky Cheese opened in the same facility? I don't know about that. So that Chucky Cheese is in that old South Park Mall, right? In Lexington? Yes. No, it's on Woodhill. Yeah.

It's in Woodhill. Oh, okay. You're talking about Malibu Jackson and all those. Yes. They did open two or three of those next to each other. And that's basically the same thing, right? Well, Chuckie Cheese has the video games and then the animatronic band.

The band. What happens to the band? They got rid of the band. I don't think the animatronics are there anymore. Oh, they're not? Well, that's part of that. That's probably was they're down. They were all probably, though.

Yeah. Look at the way. You get rid of the band. Also, they did, the KHSAA says they did a survey amongst all high schools in Kentucky to ask, would you like a shot clock? Because one of my big things is high school basketball needs a shot clock. And of course, the story was we can't afford it.

Yeah. Which I still throw the challenge flag on. How much can a shot clock cost? But they said they did a survey in 60% of the high schools in Kentucky are anti-shot clock. Why? Well, I think you said, I think the cost. Okay, how much does a shot clock cost? We looked this up once before.

It wasn't, we did. It was not very much. But then you got to get somebody to run it during the games. You got to get one person to run a shot clock and most people would volunteer. I know you would volunteer to do it. So I just don't buy the cost call. Yeah, I think that's the biggest thing. Do you think it's that these schools think their best chance to win if they're not very good is to hold the ball?

Probably smaller schools, county schools. I think that probably plays into it, don't you? Yes. It looks like a decent shot clock around $1, $1,300 or something like that. Oh, well, that's much more than I would have. And that's on rollers. That's not one that's like attached to the goal. Oh, that is much. Why is it so much?

A good one is like $3,200. That's crazy. I mean, you could one on each end of the court. You got to buy two of them. That is insane to me. What, why can't you just have like a, you got to have one in the each end zone? You have multiple gyms. You got to buy four of them.

That shocks me that it's that much. I would have literally thought it was $200. $1,200 for a cheap one and $3,400. Well, that's a lot. But that still shocks me. I mean, if you're like, well, I understand. If it's, if it's, if it's $2,500. to do it. I can understand why schools don't feel like they can do it. I just, I'm shocked

that's how much it costs. Like I said, a lot of schools have a secondary gym, so the guys and girls can both play at the same time. It's all that means you've got to have four shot clocks. Okay. Well, I guess I should have looked that up. Ponyo. I still think, though, it would be better for the game of basketball. Because when I go to the Sweet 16, the worst thing is when teams, they get up seven or eight with four minutes to go and they're basically holding on to the ball. That to me is just awful. Yeah, and well, we were there. It was fun to watch, but Lyon County, when Travis Perry did that, I mean, was it the, when they played Trin-law?

Was it the game? I think it's Harvey County, and he just kept running around and they couldn't do anything about it. I don't like it. And there's a lot of games that are seven or eight points with three or four minutes to go, and teams just start doing that, and that's not entertaining basketball. I think it's where we're headed. I think the schools, though, have to come up a way. They're going to have to come up a way to find the cost. I think it's coming.

You do? Yeah. Why? I just think that's the evolution of the high school game. We know any, like what percentages of states have it? Do we know? No, don't know. Yeah, I don't either.

I mean, yeah, you've got to either force every school to get it. It can't be some. No, no, every school has to get it or nobody has it. Yeah, you can't do it like home field advantage. Jerry, go ahead, Jerry. Hey, man, first off on South Carolina, I think they're pretty overrated because they lost nine or ten players off their defense. But they do have like that Hizmann-level quarterback sellers who crushed us last year.

He did, but he had some stinkers last year, too. But the other thing about Vandy, and fortunately that is going to be Diego Pavia's senior night when we go down there and play Vandy. I'm going to tell you, I'll see. I think that kid's overrated. I think he's fun. But he's had the whole – Keeping these receipts.

Here's the thing. He had the whole off season. Well, Ryan McGee was on ESPN with me, and we were talking about Diego Pavi. And he was like, Diego Pavia has enjoyed being Diego Pavia. And Ryan said there's some worry at Vandy like, is he too into being Diego Pavia? So I'm going to go ahead and predict. I think he'll be fine. But I'm predicting, Jerry, a Diego Pavia step down this year.

I hope so. The other thing I want to ask you about, I was listening to one of those SEC preview podcasts. I know you're into Phil Still. And they were saying, when they were doing Kentucky, they were claiming that I guess still ranks the top 50 at every position and the Kentucky had no player ranks in the top 50 at their position except for the punner.

That wouldn't surprise me. I mean, I haven't read it, but I appreciate the call, Jerry. Would not surprise me. I mean, look, objectively, if you were to look at Kentucky's team and you were to know nothing about it, you would say they're going to stink, right? Yeah.

They don't have any, they have one or two guys that are projected to get drafted. What, Alex Safari and then, you know, Pete is on some boards way down. We don't have anyone else projected to get drafted, right? Unless some of those defensive guy step up. But Alex Safari is the only one I think that's even projected. The quarterback is in his seventh year. You know, you have a, so I can understand. I'm not going to get mad at anybody for thinking we're going to stink.

But it has been the case historically that this was when we got the best of Mark Stubbscher. Yeah, I mean, ideally we'd love to have first team all Americans, but this kind of is when Stoops had a success. It's when everybody counted us out. Let's get our lunch pail and go hit somebody in the mouth. And that's kind of what they've gone back to trying to rebuild. Who knows if it'll work, but that's the mentality Stoops is trying to get back. Because when they had their most success, it was when it was. was a bunch of guys that say they're from Ohio

when Ohio State didn't call or you're Josh Allen and only Monmouth called you. You had a lot of guys with chips on their shoulders. I totally get though why someone objectively would look at it and go, they're going to be bad. I totally get it. Yeah, because you look at who we're bringing in. We've got 50 new players. A lot of these guys are going to start. 50.

It's amazing. 50's a lot. Yeah. So I can see why Phil still maybe doesn't rank anybody in the top 50. You're talking about podcast. You know, Shannon, I've been, I signed Ryan, or not Ryan, excuse me, Drew, Billy, and Mario to listen. We basically were all assigned to listen to all of the NFL podcast, basically our competition.

And I got them to listen during the week last week, and then I listened over the weekend using some of the ones they suggest. They are the most boring things I believe to. Well, that's where you come in and spice things up. That's what I'm saying. Like NFL podcasts, well, Drew, you listened even more than I did. they take themselves so seriously. They're all so awful. I love the NFL.

I wake up every morning I watch NFL Network. Good morning football is my show. But when you go to NFL podcast, there's not really a fun one. They all get so into the weeds with their game recaps. I listen to any podcast in the top 200 that had the NFL in the title. Most of them were fantasy. But the ones that are recapping games went back to last season. I'm someone that loves the NFL and could not get into those shows.

So, but this is also a classic Mario is from a different world than us. All right. So in this meeting, I'm like, Drew, Billy, Mario, tell me your thoughts. Billy's talking about the podcast from the athletic. You know, Drew's talking about the podcast from ESPN or the NFL. I go to Mario. I'm like, Mario, what's your thought on the podcast? Mario goes, these are awful.

And he goes, there's only two I liked. And then these were the two he liked. Run with Manny Wilson Never heard of that No You ever heard of that? Never heard of it Who's Manny Wilson and running?

And then with a serious face He looks at me and goes Probably the second best What is called urinating tree Wow Did he not? I was there? I was there.

And that's an NFL podcast? Yes And I was like What? He goes, I'm telling you he was like It's pretty good. It's like it's just some guys hanging out. And I didn't get a chance to check on urinating tree during the thing.

But like that just shows you. He's just the younger generation. Yeah. He was like all the rest of these are boring. But urinating tree is pretty good. And respectfully, Manny Wilson didn't have much of a following as far as I can see. So Marley had like 400 followers. So good for Manny Wilson.

The point of this is I think there's an opening for us. It makes me want to listen to urinating tree and find out what it's all about. To be honest, interesting Google image searches come up. Rick, go ahead, Rick. Who you want? Rick. Oh, yeah, there is. Hey, guys.

Throw back to last week a little bit. You guys were talking about construction and traffic problems and stuff in Lexington. I moved to Evansville, Indiana, in 1987. And the first newspaper headline I saw was talking about building an I-69 from Indianapolis to Evansville. It's still not done. It doesn't surprise me. And they haven't even picked where they're going to build a new bridge across the Ohio. They still haven't picked a spot for it.

The worst things that have happened in society is whatever we try to do with the Ohio River. It never works. It's filthy. The bridges break down. They fall. The Ohio River, we probably should have all just agreed to stay on either side of it because it's trying to get across it is always a problem. Fairies.

Exactly. Fairies is what we should have done. I told some friends years ago that if that had been Kentucky, they would have built the road, put a toll on it, and had it paid off before Indiana finished theirs. I mean, they did it in sections. It's like they built a stretch. And then there would be a 20-mile gap to the next stretch.

It was ridiculous. Yeah. No, you're right. You had to go a roundabout way to get to any of it. And the second thing, we were talking about the Cubs last week. You know, there's a century of terrible teams or whatever. In 1984, I had a job where I was off in the afternoon, and there wasn't anything else on TV. So I watched the Cubs every day they played in the afternoon and kind of became a fan and was really rooting for them.

They had a lot of likable players, you know, Dawson and Sandberg, or they picked up Rick Sutcliffe, who was amazing. Yeah, I just got like 10 seconds real quick. Well, and they lost it. They won the first two games in the playoffs and then lost three in a row of the Padres. I remember that Gary Templeton was the on the Padres. Appreciate the call. Stop overpaying for sunglasses.

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHart Women's Sports. Welcome back, Techie Sports Radio.

859-280-2287. People are riding the text machine and saying they actually started that bridge. The bridge across Henderson to Evansville? That's what they're saying. I don't know. I mean, I'm not there. I haven't been there many years. 859-280-2287.

One person writes, Matt, I've been to the dirt bowl. Most fun thing you can do in Lexington. Also, best collection of food in Lexington. I'm telling you, as soon as you pull up, the smell of food knocks you over. It's so good. Is it? Yeah, it really smells good. But you mentioned walking.

That's a good idea because there's cars everywhere. Yeah. I drove by a week ago Sunday, and there were people. absolutely everywhere. It's a big deal. It's been a big deal like that guy said for 50 years in Lexington. Yeah. At KY Sports Radio on Twitter. Okay, so let's go to the next one here on my list. This has been a topic on a lot of radio shows and I thought, I mean, if it is, then I need to hear your all's opinion. Only two of us are married. But Shannon, you and I can have. One of us is married. Yeah, you're essentially married. But you and I get to have as much of an opinion as they do, Shannon.

Okay. I like this. Checking accounts. in a marriage should a man and woman keep separate checking accounts. They can have a, the premise is, yes, you could have a joint account, but can you, in addition to the joint account, each have your own separate account as well? Or does it suggest that your marriage is not trusting? Oh, I'll jump in there. I'll say absolutely you can have a separate checking account. As a matter of fact, if I were married, I would.

Do you think, though, you should be able to tell you, you think your wife should be able to know what's in your separate checking. I mean, if she wants to ask, I'll tell her. But I think I should be able to have my own separate checking account. I think she should be able to have her own separate check-in account as well. I have no problem doing that if I were married. I am married. I have no idea what Abby buys and I don't care. I trust her.

She trusts me. So do you all have a joint check-it? We got combined and our old ones that we had before we were married. We kind of got a hodgepodge of stuff. But like, if she spends $500 on Amazon today, I might be like, that was a big purchase, but like we're not monitoring each other's favorites. But what if she spends $500, like, so you don't have any idea what's in her, her separate account? No.

So it could be any amount of money. We're both pretty responsible with our money. Now, if it got to a point like, hey, what are you doing over there? But we've had no issues. I completely trust her. She trusts me. There are people who argue you should not have separate accounts. That like all of, once you get married, it's a union between two souls and everything should be a joint checking account.

Those are the same people that have joint Facebook accounts. People think like that. What do you think? We have like six accounts. I mean, it's still. Oh, look at you money bags. I mean, it's still. Oh, I've got six accounts, Shannon.

Look at all the money. I still have money. All right. Y'all want to talk about money because we can talk about money on the show. I mean, I still have my one in Madisonville from elementary school. One I started at UK. You're playing in elementary school?

I mean, I have just podge pods of stuff. I'm not saying they're full of money, but it's chaotic. It's not all in one thing. This is something is definitely. definitely evolved in my, when I got married the first time, like in the early 90s. I think everybody just got joint checking accounts. Nobody had separate accounts. Nobody. Okay. I think it's evolved where now, like you said, you have one joint account, but then you have your own separate account for your own money. So how do you decide what money goes into the joint account? Especially when you're maybe...

So like you get a paycheck. Yeah. If you have a separate account and a joint account, your paycheck comes in. Which account do you put it in? I think you got the direct deposit should go to the joint account. So then what is in the separate account? Like maybe you withdraw. a couple hundred dollars each time for your own spending money. So then your wife knows where all of your money is going. Yeah. And I also think that maybe there's a lot of families where money's tight. You need every penny just to pay your bills.

So, you know, I think that... I will go ahead and tell you, if I get married, the money, no. Yeah. The money no, good answer. The money is not going into a joint. I mean, could I have a joint checking account in theory? yes, but you want your own thing, right? Yeah.

I mean, I don't, I didn't come here to become a child again. Right? Like, I mean, at some point, you have to ask to go out. Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to sit there and go, well, why did you buy this? I needed some more Kobe's. I'm not dealing with that. Yeah, you need your own account, but you need that joint account to make the house payment, pay your bills, or do you split the bills up, honey?

You pay electric water gas. Okay, I can just think about me. If I got married, I'm fine paying all the bills, whatever. But I'm also not signing up to have a new, like, mother oversee what I spent. Right? It's true, but. Okay, so let me ask you this. Let's say I get married.

This is an honest question. I'm not, the money I had coming into it. I should do a pre-up, right? By the way, I should. The answer is yes. Yeah. most people don't have a lot of money when they get married you know I understand but let's say you do have some yeah well I would do the Chris Rock thing if you got a lot of money may not hurt you

if you only got a little money you need a pre-nup even more it's like you know let's see the old money you do have if you have 30 million your wife wants 15 who cares yeah but if you make 30 thousand and your wife once 15 So I don't even know. The whole premise of a joint account is difficult to me. I'm sure I would do it, but I would definitely have my own. A lot of it depends on what baby step you're on with Dave Ramsey, too, if you've already got your nest egg and your emergency.

If you get to Baby Step 4, you listen to the Baby Steps with Dave Ramsey, right? Shannon, I don't see you, I won't see you doing a joint checking account. No, probably wouldn't. I mean, I would definitely have my own, and there may be a joint account where I have a little bit of money in there, and it's all hers, but no. The joint account for me would pay the bills. Right. And if you have kids, you know.

But when it comes to individual spending, no, yeah, that's my own thing. I think it should be your own thing. I think the majority of your money, if you have kids and your bills are tight, should go on the joint account, and then you have your own little bit for spending money. But do you think the wife should know what you spend that on?

No. Okay. But she's going to see if you withdrew $300 that week. See, I don't want to be explaining that I'm taking $300. It's got to be an understanding. She could take $300. and you can't question her either. I don't think it's about where the money is.

You should have a general budget. I mean, you don't have to get down on every month and maybe some people do, some people don't. This is why you can just be reckless. And I can just like, I mean, I just, I, if I'm going to get married, I want to be in a partnership where we trust each. I don't want somebody overseeing my day-to-day life. You got a father of a woman who has that same mindset.

I totally agree with you. I totally agree with you. We'll take a break. We're right back. KS. I, T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney. Call TJ. He'll make them pay. Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio

presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones. Text machine is a lot of people, Shannon, saying this is why you two aren't married. Oh, okay, fair enough. I'm fine with that. You know what? I'm happy. Yeah, me too. Here's the thing. All right, so I don't want it to be, I don't want it to sound like I'm selfish.

All right? If I get married at this stage in my life, whoever I marry, we'll have whatever they want. Within reason. All the shoes you want. All the hoodies you put. No, I mean, like, I don't spend money.

So I will have, like, whoever marries me will be fine. But in exchange for them being fine, they can't be sitting there telling me what to do. You know what I mean? When you're the main breadwinner, yeah. Well, I mean, maybe I'll marry somebody that's a bigger breadwinner than me. I'm not going to tell her what to do. You know what I mean? Like, I mean, I think that's, and I would argue this is when I was a lawyer, I said,

If you have anything, you don't, people think you have to be rich to like have a pre-nup. No. If you have anything, you have to think about it. And I understand like when you're getting married, you don't want to think about getting divorced. I get that. Like that's not romantic. Right. But it's also reality.

And it's not just about the cash you have. Let's say you own a business. Okay. technically she's entitled to half of the appreciation when it starts. But that means you need to have an appraisal of what it's worth when you get married. You need to decide, do you really want to give half of what? And I'm talking, it can be the smallest business in the world. I would argue the more central what you have is to your day-to-day existence,

the more you need a prenuptial agreement, in my opinion. Well, isn't in Kentucky? Kentucky's reciprocal state. What's yours is hers and hers is yours? from the day you're married. Right. But when you come into it with stuff, that's where it gets tricky because you, what's yours is yours when you come into it.

But then there's appreciation, right? So let's say you have a bank account and it gets interest. What about the bank? What about the interest after you? And for people who have a lot of money, that might be a lot. But where it really comes into play is you own a business. Like Ryan owns, I don't know, your real estate thing. Like let's say it was worth whatever it's,

worth. When you get married, then whatever happens forward, you know, it gets complicated. Right. I know. You're telling you're preaching to the choir. Right. I mean, you've been through this. You understand. You own property. The appreciation of the property. Like, there's all kinds of stuff that comes in and you need to have that. This is not my expertise. I didn't do this. But I, and so, I mean, I know it would be non-romantic, Drew, to sit there and go, honey, will you marry me? Okay, now let's get a pre-knit. Sign this first. Here, sign this.

But I think if you want to avoid potential hassle later in life, I think you have to do it. Or else you'll just, then you'll end up when you get divorced hating each other because you'll be fighting over stuff, which you shouldn't want, I wouldn't think. So you're saying until death do us part, but just in case. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, let me put it like this. You would never buy a house and not get insurance.

Correct. Great point. So that doesn't mean you want your house to burn down. True. But if it's, Shane, I'm wrong. No, you're spot on, man. So if I'm going to get married, I don't want it to end. But it could. But it could.

And I need to understand what's going to happen. So when the house sets on fire, I'm not running around with a bucket trying to pour the water out. We're basically just a couple of Romeo's here. But no, no, no, here's the Romeo poem. Anyone that marries me is going to have, like I'm giving, but I'm also not stupid. And I think this is something else that has evolved over the last 15 years or so, where it used to be just the rich people got the pre-nup. No, you know, nobody else even thought about it.

I mean, if you have nothing, that's different. But a lot of people have, a lot of people have more things that they can lose than they realize they can. Yes. You know what I mean? And that's why it's at least worth having the consultation. Look at us, giving him wedding advice, marriage advice. You said that you think it's changed over time that when you were young, all accounts were joined.

I don't know of anybody when they got married had joint, I mean, separate checking accounts. You didn't know. So immediately all the money pulled into one source. And of course, you know, this was back in the day when there wasn't mobile apps and stuff where you could manage your money a little easier. All money was funneled into one account. Let me play out a scenario for you, Matt. Woman of your dreams. Absolutely perfect.

You've been in this relationship a couple of years. It's time to get married, but she will not sign the pre-nup. What are we're doing? Well, chances are, I'm going to be honest with you. Chances are if someone, if I logically present what I just said and someone says they cannot do it. And by the way, I'm going to be generous in the pre-nup. Like if we divorce, I'm going to want, I'm going to be happy with this person.

I'm going to want them to be. But if they won't do it, then chances are they're not coming into it with the same motives. I want to come into it. Right. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like if you won't sign the pre-up, then that says something to me about like, well, what are you trying to get out of this? Mm-hmm.

But couldn't they say, since you're forcing a pre-up on me? Not forcing. Are you all the way in? I would have a very generous pre-up. But I'm not going to say, I don't, I have watched people's lives, friends of mine, devolve into two and three-year legal fights over non-year legal fights over non-year. sense. And then it affects their kids. If they have them, you don't want that. It's for everybody's peace of mind. And like I said, I think it's more common now. I think people are more open to it now than they used to be. Matt, go ahead, Matt. Hey, guys. You know, on the Mitch Barnhart interview last week,

there were sort of two things. I don't know you guys have talked about since I thought were interesting that he said. On one hand, he said that the power for conferences are going to kind of control the future and shape the future of college athletics, which I think on the football side makes sense. Yes. On the other hand, he did kind of admit that he's worried about the Big East basketball schools. And probably a subset of those schools because all those schools have a lot of money. And my question

is, and you know, I'm a big East guy. And as a John's fan, and you know, when I hear that, that's sort of, to me, gives a little bit alarm bells. Because that's something, you know, what he said was we want control, but we're worried about this other group that's not like us. Yeah.

And I think, I think he's, I think that you're exactly right. That is a little bit contradictory, but it's also, I think, how they feel. And it's really only in basketball. That's where they're worried. Like, they're not worried about you guys in other sports. They're really worried about men's basketball. They're worried that a handful of schools, St. John's is one of them,

Yukon is one of them. Matt Norlander said Marquette is one of them. There's a handful of schools that people in the power for conferences are worried have the access to spend $20 million and don't have anything else to spend it And so we'll see how it plays out. St. Johns, I think, is going to be the test case. You guys will push the envelope as you should. And you guys will probably spend this year's a little misleading because we talked about they were able to double do it by having private money in the July.

But starting next year, you guys might spend twice as much on your roster as any other team does. And it'll be interesting to see how the power four schools handle that, specifically Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, and Duke who feel like. like you all shouldn't be able to do that. Agreed. And is there anything that they could legally do that would stand up? I don't think so. I don't think so. I think you guys have the ability

to do that. Just from my read on it, and I appreciate the call. I'm not claiming to be an expert. But I think the Big East Schools, Drew, have a chance to a handful of them create mega rosters. And I think if St.

If I was at AD at St. John's or the AD at Yukon, those are the two to me. I would say, let's go become the new, I mean, Yukon already has, but let's go and become the new. I think Rick Patino was quoted as saying, we should be the evil empire. They should be, and they should, because they have the money and they have the means, and now they have the rules to be able to do it. I'm also a little worried about Villanova. That's another one. Recent championships, all in on basketball, no football team.

have that money to spend. Really, the Northeast is going to be dangerous. And if you can't do anything about it, almost just have to root that if they are overspending, if you've got a guy on the bench, make it through me, you just got to hope for turmoil and that that doesn't work out. It'll also be interesting at some of the smaller levels.

Like, let's say you're a really rich alumnus of LMU. Do you just go, all right, we're about to enter D1. Let's be really good. Why wouldn't they? Because LMU could spend $2 million and be dominant in their conference. Eastern Kentucky football could say, why don't we go back and start winning national championships again? Yeah.

Why wouldn't you? Why wouldn't you? Yeah. So this will happen. But for our purposes, St. John's, Rick Patino said we should be the evil empire, which says he wants to be the evil empire. I'm going to say, well, to stop him from doing that.

Nothing, I think, can stop him. It won't happen this year, but next year is the year. See what happens next year. He might get every kid in the portal. Why wouldn't you? Why wouldn't you? Especially up there in New York where they think stay home. Exactly.

And all you got to do is look at the sidelines of St. John game and look at those dudes. You know they've got the money. Right? They all look like John Gotti sitting on the sideline.

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, too, billion dollar fraud. But with two kings from entirely different worlds, just how long can their empire survive?

On hurdle with Emily Abadi, we sit down with the most inspiring women in sports and wellness,

professional athletes, coaches, and Olympic champions to talk about the challenges that shaped them and the mindset that keeps them going from the WMBA standout Kate Martin and rising hockey star Layla Edwards. If a boy can do it, I don't see why a girl can't. Like, I've never understood that. Like, it didn't make sense in my brain. It's hard to be in spaces that no one looks like you, but don't ever feel like you don't feel like you don't belong.

Don't let that be the reason you don't do it. An Olympic champs Gabby Thomas and Katie Ladecki.

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Welcome back, Techie Sports Radio. Here's a woman that writes, Matt, I think joint checking accounts came from a time where men were trying to control

what women did with their own money. Probably some truth to that, you know. Back in the day, that was kind of the, as crazy as it sounds now, but I guess that was kind of the way life was. Yeah, I think that makes sense. I don't, I mean, I feel like, well, I don't know. A lot of people are like you too. You and Shannon don't know anything because you're not married.

And that's probably true. But you all are married. I'm not married. I mean, you're married. Let's stop acting like you're not married. You're essentially married. We're taking our first vacation by ourselves next week. Just me and her.

No kids. Where are you going? Hilton Head to the timeshare. I got a guy that would get you out of that. It's not a longer, though. I've not heard. I'm not heard about it. You and that timeshare.

How many years are left on it? A gazillion. I have no idea. Don't pass that on to your kids. Yeah. If you get married, put that in a pre-nup. You don't want to make her have to deal with that.

Well, I'm babysitting it for Gavin. If it's supposed to be, it's going to be sitting down to Gavin, I'm just kind of babysitting until he's ready to take it over. Does he even like Hilton had? He's been there several times. That wasn't the answer.

The answer was not. Yeah, timeshares are one of the few gifts you can give that continue to cost. Well, we'll see. Yeah, that's not a gift. That's a project. Can he deny it? You're literally giving him debt. Well, if I only knew someone I could call to get out of it.

I know a guy. Alan, go ahead, Alan. Hey, guys. How you doing? Good. In regards to the Texas Republicans leaving the state, the reason why they went to Illinois is because J.B. Pritzker's the governor. He's a Democrat, a billionaire, and owns a bunch of hotels. change. She probably gives them a place to stay. In regards to the other account, yeah, I'm married,

and me and my wife, we have a joint account, but I also have an individual one, and it doesn't cause any issue. Thanks for taking a call. You'll have a one of a place. See, he has. Yeah, I think that's how it's evolved. There's a joint account to pay your bills, but you have your own individual accounts. But you still get to the same issue as how do you decide when Ryan Lemon makes $50,000, how do you decide how much of each of it goes into which account? It's still the same fight, isn't it? I think probably, but you got to make sure there's enough in there to pay your mortgage and your car insurance and your cell phone bill and all your other bills.

Yeah. Jeff, go ahead, Jeff. Yeah, this is regarding the dirt bowl. Ryan, you know this guy, but my brother was the first white guy there and played a dirt bow in my good buddy of ours was the second and out of the third. This is back in the mid-70s, early 77, 78. In the following year, we put a team together. It's called an average white team.

So we've been there, done it for a long, one time. And Ryan, you know the guy I'm talking about. He used to be a coach here, election proof. Did you ever win? Oh, yeah, yeah. We were, yeah, we were really, we had a bunch of the local. Well, Rex used to play in it, didn't he? Rex would come up here and play in it.

All the UK guys would always play in it every summer. UK, they don't really play anymore, do they? Probably not. No, he was at, Rex's way after us, but I play. when James and Jack, they were coming with in limousines on Super Sunday. They came with limousines? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

By the way, we weren't cheap. We just had those. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. We just had them. Nancy, go ahead, Nancy. Okay, I'm calling about the checking account. When I first got married,

we just had one checking account. But it's a problem when the other one spends more and then you don't have enough money to pay the electric bill or whatever. So now, when my husband's passed away a few years ago, but this is the second time around, we had a joint checking account, and we each had our own because my Social Security went into mine, his went into his. So as far as a joint, when you got a bill, I say it's electric bill, $200.

Each put in $100, and it worked perfectly, perfectly. That makes you almost sound, though, like roommates. It's like you're paying the rent by giving everybody can treat, like, okay, the rent's $800, that make sure you have $400 in the account. But it worked. It really worked. And then he couldn't say, you don't need to spend that money on whatever. And I didn't say anything to him.

It's like the capital call I have to send out every. It's a good system. It's like the capital call I send out for OVW. All right, come on. Put in the money so that we can pay our bills. Like I said, I think there's a lot of families that have to struggle with that every single month. If you've got a joint account, you pay the bills,

you got to make sure you donate enough money to pay those bills before you go out and play around the golf somewhere. Why don't you just get married? Like, I mean, I don't understand why you don't. We're talking about joint checking accounts and time shares. I mean, you, you could get me. We can have a wet, and think about a KSR wedding.

Yeah. Billy's got one coming up next year. I know, and that's good, but I think yours, like we could live stream it. I owe you one too. I'm falling through a table. I'm pouring everything on my head. Drew can embarrass himself at your reception. My mom can grab your butt. Like your mom grabbed my butt.

Okay. What? Oh yeah, Nancy grabbed my butt. All right. My wedding was a fun time. We had a great time. But let's go back. You could get married.

But you can talk to Shannon about it. Shannon's been with Sarah a lot longer. Yeah, but you two are on another left. I mean, like you, like you two, you... We don't even live in the same house. Shannon and Sarah living in the same house. Okay. First of all, our KS bar manager lives across.

the street from your woman and we know you're there every night. But not, I don't ever spend the night. Every day you don't ever spend the night? Ever. Because I still, Josiah still lives at home. I can't leave him by himself. So you just drive home every night like 1130 at night? Sometimes. You're like a teenager. You are a teenager. I am a teenage. I got a curfew. Does Josiah stay up by the lamp waiting for me and walk in? I think it's respectful for me as a dad to not expect Josiah to spend the night by himself in the house because I'm shacking up with my girlfriend. But you're there. I've heard you're there all the time. I'm here a lot. I know, probably once a day, every day. Okay, so just move in. You're paying two mortgages.

You're paying two mortgages. And you all could get in together and then it could be yoga girl and yoga boy. You could have a yoga studio. I would love to be known as yoga boy. I think you should just go ahead and do it. Mark, go ahead, Mark. Hey, this is Mark. I'm calling from Sypiana, Kentucky. All right. We're down here putting on the roof. But to your joint account with a woman with your wife, yes, we do have a joint account, but we also have a individual checking account.

Well, there you go. My other question to you I have is, why did they move to Louisville basketball game up so far? I don't like it. I don't like it. I appreciate the call. I'm sure they did it for TV. It was because when Louisville would host,

if you remember, we couldn't get on a good network. because ESPN would have college football, so they probably moved it there because ESPN has said, if you want this game to be on college basketball or on ESPN, you got it. That's my guess. I don't know that. If you remember when Kentucky would host, CBS would have it. But when it was at Louisville, we were playing on like ESPN 2 and stuff. And so that's my guess as to why it happened. But I agree it's bad. I have a friend who's a divorce attorney who says, tell Ryan, most divorces are who are about the fight is who has to take the time share, not who gets to.
