I'm in studio. Shannon is across the hall. Ryan and Drew are in Lexington. You give shout on the Clark's puppet shop phone line. It is ask anything Thursday. You can ask anything you want. This is my last day of not interrupting Shannon, and so far, this is the day. This is the day. That puts it to a test, though. 859280, 2287. I'm also looking at the phone, so I'll be able to pick here on ask anything Thursday. Hope to get some good questions. The Clark's puppet shop phone line, a vision auto glass text machine is 772-774-5254. In this edition sponsored by the TJ Smith Law Office, you call TJ. I'll make them pay. I am told right now, Shannon, that the WLAP stream is down. Yeah. Which once again, how does this always happen to us? I still don't get. I do not understand how in 2025 things break always with us. We had the show the other day in this 790 station in Louisville. Just in the middle of it just switched to Dan Patrick in the middle of the show. Who's trying to listen to Dan Patrick? Come on. Dan Patrick's not even on Louisville. And so they just picked a random show in America and said, we'll play that instead of Matt. Well, the good is nose whistle790amcom is still working. What is the actual website? Is it. That's. That's the way I know it. I mean, 790 KRD, but the one that I know works. Knows whistle 7 90am I'm being serious. I'm being 100 serious. You're telling me if you put in no Swiss 7 90am AM.com who did that? Let's just say our bosses have a good sense of humor. No, it redirects to it. It does. Are you serious? Yes. I've been using this link. I'm looking at it right now. Swiss790-am.com works. Yes. Stop it. No, that's actually a funny joke. Who did that? Here? I just. Shannon the dude, probably. Look at him laughing. He did it. You did that. Well, what a. Yes, it does work. What a jerk you are. That's hilarious. That is so rude. Wow. All right. Nose whistle798. I never heard that until right this second. Yep. All right. There you go. Phone line 859-280-2287. Drew, tweet that out so people can just did. Can find the show if they. If they need To Ryan, here in downtown Louisville. Last. I'm. I'm going to start the show with the controversial opinion. And I've expressed this opinion before, but I feel it more strongly now than I. Than I think I ever have. Last night I came to downtown Louisville. I was meeting some people for dinner, and I guess it was graduation night here in Louisville. Right. For some schools. All right. People everywhere, you know, as my mom would say, kind of amongst them, right? They're everywhere and everybody is proud and they're happy and I'm proud for them and I'm happy. Right. Congratulations to all the people graduating from the high schools here in Louisville. I think they had it in the little convention center here next door. But it looked to me like there was also a like kids graduation, you know what I mean? Like kindergarteners or fifth graders or whatever. These kids in their. In their robes. And I am even more adamant than I've ever been that when we do graduations for children, that should be illegal. There should only be. You should be able to have high school graduation and college graduation. But graduations for kindergarten and fifth grade, to me, Ryan, are the stupidest things I've ever seen. And as I saw those kids, and you know, I'm not anti kid, I think they should exist, Drew. But as I saw those kids walking around in their. In their robes, I thought, this is so dumb. First of all, the traffic's bad, and secondly, why do we do that for children? 8th grade. Still pushing it, but whatever. But when they have these little kid graduations, I think it's the stupidest thing I've ever seen. But you're not proud of their accomplishments. I mean, they. What have they accomplished? Cursive. What did they. They had to eat chalk. That's what they do with. That's what. Kindergarteners, they don't accomplish anything. I think you should. Why do they do the superintendent of Jefferson county public schools take. Well, I had a friend who was on the school board. I ain't doing that. I know what that's. Now what that's like, but Drew, is that not the stupidest thing to have? Are you for graduation for kindergarteners? I'm not going to say it gets under my skin like I'm feeling from you here, but it does seem a little over the top. It also diminishes all the other graduate when it's just every year you get to have a graduation. Exactly. Make them work hard all the way until the very end and then have the big one. Now, I'm not trying to get rid of children or. I'm not going to be out yelling at cars or anything. I was yelling at some cars yesterday. People need to learn to park. And they need to learn over the top, though. Louisville, Shannon. Because these one way streets, like when. If you don't understand downtown Louisville with these one way streets, you're going to screw everything up. And I'm fine with it for high school because these kids, like, this is a big moment in their life. For a lot of them, this might be the last time they have something like this. But. But for kindergarteners to see those little kids, you know, waddling around in their stupid robes. It's a big moment, though. They learn colors. They learned their letters. Do they still do the letter people in kindergarten? That was a big, big thing. What does that mean, the letter people? What does. I don't know what that means. Well, like each day you would have a different letter, and then each letter had its own song, its own theme song. There was Mr. M with a munching mouth. There was. You don't know the letter people? No, no, no. What? What? Give me an example. Like, sing me one of the. I remember Mr. M. It would go like Mr. M with the munching mouth. Bump, bump. His mouth goes munch, munch, munch. His mouth goes munch, munch, munch. What is happening to midnight? Midnight to morning. Mr. M with the munching mouth. That's it. I'm telling you. I'll play. I still remember that. I still remember that. So you're saying you learned that in kindergarten? Yes. And you still remember the song. So did they have one for every letter? Every letter had a different song and each day you did a different. You learned your letters in kindergarten. Wow, Shannon, first of all, that's much more impressive than those stupid kids I saw graduating yesterday. We gotta play those. But you play those coming into the breaks. We're gonna learn some of these letter songs. Yeah. Had you ever heard this, Ryan? I'd never heard these songs. No. Maybe something special in Bullock County, I guess. Come on, you. I've never heard that's. Never heard I've ever heard that in mind. I mean, this was a big thing in like the 70s and 80s. So there. And there was 26 or whatever of them. Yeah. Wow. So you don't even know how many letters you need to go back to kindergarten. Maybe. So was that wrong? Is it not 26? It is. Okay, all right. You just didn't sound confident when you said. Well, I wasn't confident. I thought there could be 27, maybe even 28. I want to tell you something's gonna make even more frustrated about this. Okay? Not only do they have kindergarten graduations, they're now doing preschool graduations. That's ridiculous. I mean, that's ridiculous. Pre. I mean, all you have to do preschool is breathe. Right? Like, you don't even have to. So try not to pee on yourself. Here's the thing that you. They do that won't even get you out of preschool. I don't think it's. Drew, this is clearly for the parents, right? The parents want to make a big show of everything. I'm going to even go so far as to say, I bet the kids don't like it. I bet the parents don't like it. When I was a kid, I didn't want to wear itchy clothes. And these kids, they make them dress up, and then, most importantly, they clog up the traffic in downtown Louisville. And, Drew, I'm. I'm. I'm completely against it. High school, I think you should make the biggest scene of it possible. College, make your scene. But in these elementary grades, Absolutely ridiculous. Do you know the root of the problem? I have a theory. Facebook and Instagram, they want attention of their kids. Pictures in their gown. Yes. Have your party at home with family. That's how it was forever. Until we got social media. Everybody needs a reason to have more pictures to post and say, look at my kid. He didn't pee on himself in kindergarten, and he finished, and he's moving on to. There's nothing worse. Attention, attention, attention, attention. I agree. There's nothing worse than on, like, when I go on Facebook now, it's only people's kids. And it'll be like, can you believe he's eight? Yes, I can. I can. You know why? You had him eight years ago. The other thing is, nobody cares. No one cares. And Grandma. No one cares. Exactly. Right? Just. Just text it to grandma. Yeah. It's like that one time. Ksr. TJ Bisner, who now works with Bill Belichick and Jordan Knutson, which, speaking of kids. Yes, T. T.J. visner. Somebody was mouthing off to him on Twitter, and the guy only had two followers. And TJ responded with the great line, drew, remember we were on one of our road trips, and TJ just responded, you have two followers. Just text them. And I thought that was a great line. Same thing about pictures of 8th graders. Just. Just send them to grandma because no one else. Ryan, really cares. No, Drew's right. It's all just the social media. Look at me, me, me. Look at my kids. Look what they're. Look. I feel like Ryan would be the type of parent that would do that though, wouldn't you? Wouldn't you tweet out like, you know, I was not around when you had little kids, but I bet you put out every picture, right? Look at, look at Josiah. He's nine. Oh my. What? Can you believe it? Probably it is different when it's your kids. Like, I don't want to put stuff out about myself, but I want to put stuff out about my kids. Why? You know, I don't know. I don't know why. And I say this respectfully to people's kids. I'm not even friends with their kids. So, like you're making me look at. I. I mean, nobody will say this, but Shannon, I know you'll agree with me. Yeah. You know, until the kid has a personality, what is there even to say to him? Well, I mean, I think the kid has a personality at the age of six. But do you have friendships with your friends, kids? No, but I mean, I ack as they've got. I acknowledge them too. I've started to as they've gotten older. Yeah, right. Because now I feel like I can interact with them. But when they were like three or four, you just kind of look at them and go, hey, kid. Can only imagine how mad people are getting on the other end of this radio. If you ever have a kid, this is gonna be the greatest stretch of radio. If I have a kid, I am not going to. I can guarantee you I will not post. Look how old my kid is. Can you believe he's six or whatever. But you'll be posting proud papa moments. Especially if it's a cute little girl. Matt's gonna be so proud of his little girl and her little child when they graduate high school. You'll see them when they're born, Shannon. And when they graduate high school, okay, so there'll be 18 years. And if the rate I'm on, I may not even be alive when they graduate high school. That's all right. Mick Jagger's still doing it. You can do it too. Anyway, they at least should learn how to get through the traffic because it was, it was a circus in here, in this town. And you know, they run, they make them back to back. So people are leaving and getting there and it I. You know, the city of Louisville with the one way streets, it just freaks people out. They were turning the wrong way. It was a circus down here last night. It's Two weeks from today in Lexington. Just a heads up warning. It don't. Don't come to downtown. Lexington only has so many roads you can go on. You know Louisville, Shannon's got tons of one way streets. And sometimes it's two one ways in the same direction. Back to back. Right. They don't alternate. Yeah. You gotta, you gotta pay attention. You gotta know easy to go down the wrong way. You're exactly right. Is very easy in Louisville to go down the wrong way. And a lot of people were doing it for kindergarteners in their. In their robes. You want to. You want to know what. How much of a change of turning of the page I have for this new like not interrupting week, Shannon. What's that? Let's start with Bob and Jamestown right now. Yes. Already. First segment. First segment. We never take calls in the first segment. First segment, Bob. Oh my gosh. Go for it, Matt. My mother was so proud when I led the band in Mrs. Bailey's kindergarten crash at Anchorage Public School. I mean it's cap and gown, full dress. She was so. I still got a picture of it. 1959. See Shannon letting him go. There's no way they had kindergarten. Yeah, graduation back then. I don't believe that, Bob. They didn't have kindergarten graduations in 1959. That didn't happen. Anchorage Public School. I mean it was one of the best schools in the state out there. It's one of the best kindergartens in the state. They have. They had kindergarten rankings in 1959. They still have their original 1911 building there. Well, that. I don't. I think their facilities do. Who? Who. Fine. It's great. Who ranked kindergartens in 1959? Bob? Was that U.S. news & World Report? State Board of Education. What did they rank them based. Board of Education. What did they rank them based on? All kind of scholastic averages. The classroom, the subjects, attendance. Just showing up. That's why you don't have it. Well, Bob, that's the shortest I've ever made you wait. So. Happy birthday. Okay, now that's. That was back in March. Anyway, have a good day, Matt. Bye bye. There you go. 859-280-2287. I'm so proud of you right now though. I'm telling you, Big Bob first. Let him talk, Shannon. And that was why you were very surprised I did. Right there. We will take a break. It's ask anything Thursday. I can't wait to see the text machine with all the moms. This is KSI hosting season's.

From buzzer beating shots, jaw dropping defense and logo threes, the WNBA delivers non stop action and world class talent every game. These athletes don't Just play the game. They elevated. The New York Liberty are the reigning champions and the Golden State Valkyries are the newest team to join the league since 2008. Watch the WNBA this season on ABC, CBS, ESPN, ION and Prime starting May 16th. There you go. Wow. Wow. I never. I've never heard this in my life. Me neither. Never heard it. I had no idea that was a thing. I'm getting a lot of people on the. The Twitter machine that. That have heard it though. That's amazing. Good for like, you know. I like this show cause it teaches me stuff. We learned about Joe Creeson's book, which now sits on my coffee table in. It's a great. That's a great book because it has like, Ryan, each story is like a page. So you can like just kind of come to it, leave come to it and leave. That kind of thing. And now I want to read about this song. Yes. Yeah. It's actually a great book for you. Right? It's in those little short bursts. Yeah. Little. Little recap on each counties like somebody else did not too long ago. I love that kind of stuff. Yeah. It's like Alan Cutler's book, if it wasn't just about Alan Cutler. Like his was cut to the chase. Yes, it was cut to the. Cutler, not surprisingly, drew some people not agreeing with me. Oh yeah. On the comments. I wondered if WLAP pulled the plug knowing what was come. I mean, I'm just one person. Writes Matt, I don't really believe you should talk about kids. You don't have them, so you don't understand. When I hear people say this, my answer is this. Do you feel that way about other things? Right. If you do, then I'm fair. But do you think. You know what? I can't talk about politics because I've never done it. I can't talk about medicine because I've never done it. If you feel that way, then fair. But people. Ryan, we always said talk. I always say this. People act like kids are something that's impossible to comprehend unless you have. But then they have an opinion on everything else. Why can't. Why is that different? It's something about just being proud of them. Or something about you seeing them. No. And you should be proud of them. Yeah, but. But Shannon, they can be proud of them just with themselves. Yeah. Why do they have to show it to you? And if we're only talking about things we know. I mean, we never played NFL or NBA. We all have opinions on that. The only thing I could literally talk about is law and radio. Yeah, that's it. That would be all you'd be able to talk about. One person writes, matt, I have a kid. I went to a kindergarten graduation last year. You're completely right. The whole time I sit there thinking about what you were saying and say, matt would hate this. And then I decided I hated it, too. There you go, Drew. We're having an impact on society. People maybe just they need to hear this. Yes. You know what? The kids getting tired of graduations like, oh, I did it again. Let me put on my gown again. No, the big one is what you want them to look forward to way down the line. Every kid I saw downtown last night looked miserable. The high school kids looked happy. They had flowers. I was happy for them. The little kids looked miserable. Shannon, there's a person outside my door. Yeah. They're telling you that there's a local Bats game about to start and you're in their studio. Please don't. They watch. They want me to leave this studio for a Louisville Bats game. Yeah. And go where? Yeah, I'm not going anywhere. Go out on the streets of 4th street and just call in on your phone. So the Louisville Bats game starts at 11, I guess, and they want me to leave so they can broadcast the Louisville Bats. But I don't know where you're going to go. Yeah, we're not doing that. This is a standoff. Lock the door. You're not going to let them. I'm not leaving. Put a chair up under the door handle. Don't let them in. No, I'm going to go lock. Hang on. Just. He is going to lock. I don't know. There's been a guy. Hang on. I'm going to put a chair up against the door so they can't push it. That'll stop them. Yeah, yeah. One of those chairs while he's locking the door. This. This is a heck of a start to a show. I feel like we're in a second hour. Yeah, sorry about that. 859-280-2287. All right, before I get the phone, Andy Beshear has a podcast. Has anyone listened to it? Have you also seen the clip I mentioned that last? I haven't, like, sat down and said, oh, I want to listen to Andy for an hour. But I've seen a lot of the clips on stuff. I haven't listened to any of it. I like Andy. I can't really imagine listening to a podcast of him hosting. I actually think he is a guest isn't bad, but. But it May be good. I haven't listened to it, but his guest that came out this morning, Ryan, is John Caliper. Really? Yes. Good decision, bad decision for the governor of Kentucky to have Cowan. I don't think by the way, he's had Pope Kelsey Stoops Brahm. I don't think he's had any of them on. Good decision to have John Cal Peri on. I think you would want to have him on, but not before the guys you just mentioned. I think you want to get your Kentucky coaches on first, wouldn't you? And then maybe bring cow on months later. I'm a little surprised, I have to say, Drew, that you go with Cal. You know, if Bashir was like a hard hitting interviewer, I actually wouldn't mind hearing it to see somebody ask Cal some questions from the Kentucky perspective. But I don't think that's what Beshear is going to be. But I was a little surprised. I, I would think this is episode six. I would have thought by now he would try to get Pope. Now Pope and Kelsey and them might want to stay away because of, you know, political aspect. I don't know. But interesting to me that Cal Perry. I, I that's almost like, I don't know. I, I, it's an odd thing for the governor of Kentucky to do, don't you think? I was quite surprised to see that name pop up. But I'm also look at Cal doing media in Kentucky. What's his first interview since 2020, 2021. At least somebody was able to book him in this. True. I'm looking at the other, the other guests. Would you like to know who they are? Yeah, I'm just reading off the titles. Episode one, it says Andy, his son and the CEO of Morgan and Morgan. Episode episode one was not the CEO of Morgan and Morgan. That's what it says. I'm just John Morgan. All right. Yeah. Andy mystic podcast.com Episode 2. Nicole Avant on Lost Leadership and Legacy. I don't know who that is. Shannon needs to check out episode three with Senator Amy Klobuchar. Okay. Senator Chris coons to federal firings in episode four. He's actually a smart guy. All right. So okay. And episode five was a Kentucky Derby special. So you can kind of get the timeline of what Bashir is going for here a little bit, starting with a lawyer and then ending with getting up to Cal. I mean, it would be hypocritical of me, Shannon, because I would have Cal on in a heartbeat. Sure. But yeah, I don't know let's go to Kelly. Go ahead, Kelly. You got about a minute. Oh, I get a whole minute? Well, no, you don't. I know. Don't worry, I won't. But Shannon, I remember the other people and I immediately started singing the theme song. I'm not going to embarrass myself and do it on the radio, but my ask anything Thursday question last night at the KSR bowling league, we were kind of reminiscing on like hashtags from the past. We were talking specifically about the ass ham hashtag that kind of went viral and got trending. What are Urals favorite? Like hashtags or topics or things that went viral? My favorite was when we were like, what world. We took the one guy, what was it? Drew Slade. Brian T. Slade. Do you remember that? Yeah, that was my favorite. And that went like number one in the country. And it was a dude who just called and like kind of was arrogant. Brian T. Slade. I remember that now. That's my favorite. You got one, Drew. We got Drew Franklin Day and Matt Jones book to number one in the country. We did? Yep. TJ Smith, personal injury attorney. Call tj. He'll make him pay. Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. There's Matt Jones. Wow, that's perfect. Mr. N with the noisy nose. This is amazing. Turn. Turn it up just a second. Wow, Shannon, you have a whole world of songs I did not know existed thanks to you. You can start at A and go all the way through the Alphabet and listen, I gotta drive. I gotta drive back to Lexington tonight. Maybe that's what I'll just picturing you driving back listening. I guess I'm just a nosy nose to new theme song for your podcast. You know, I was trying to figure out what the theme song would be. There you go. There we go. By the way, some people are making the point. Ryan, this makes some sense. You know, Beshear is wanting to run for president. Cal's a pretty big name. Maybe that's why that's fair. I mean, Cal is probably a bigger name than Pope or Kelsey if you're trying to get a national stage. So that that makes sense, I guess. Yeah, I totally understand him wanting Cal on there. It just seems a little odd that the timing. You don't have the Kentucky guys on first and then you bring Cal on for a big splash. Yeah. Do you? What do you think? You know, that he's on. I mean, true. Beshear is going to run for president. That's going to be weird, isn't it like he's. Like he's going to run. It's. That is going to happen. Everybody's reporting like he's one of the first people getting in. I mean, the election's three plus years away, so it's a little early, but I think that's going to happen. Yeah. And it's gotten. Even if you're not paying that close of attention, someone like me, you can just tell by stuff popping up on social media, the cow thing included. I agree that he's trying to get a big name. Beshear is doing a lot of stuff he wasn't doing in his first few years, putting himself out there a lot more than he ever has. Would you vote for him, Shannon? Do you or do you care. Do I care about Bashir's podcast? No, no, not the podcast. But would you vote for it? Like, it's like if you were voting in the Democratic. Yeah. Yeah, I think I would. Would you be more likely to vote for him because he's from here and because I know more about him and I probably wouldn't know anything about the other candidates or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. Yeah. Well, I don't. You know, I'm still mad at her. She made me miss the Royal Rumble. Miss the Royal Rumble, that's right. For him. Just because that selfie took with Ryan, where Ryan put his head on his chest at the PGA last year. That was weird. That was very. That was very weird. Now the people are saying the graduations are not till May 23. So who was downtown last year last night? Maybe it was just the little guys, because preschool graduations, kindergarten graduations, I think are happening now. Even dumber. One person writes, matt, do you follow as a law your famous trials, like the Karen Reed and Diddy trials? No, I don't. I know who Karen Reed. I've heard her name. Yeah. And I know what. Did she allegedly kill her husband? Is that what it is? That or kill who did she kill or allegedly. Yeah, her husband left him out in the cold to die. Allegedly. Alleged. Allegedly. Yeah. But I don't know any details. I think the first trial happened when I was in Europe last summer, so I didn't really follow it at all. But no. And I've seen that the Diddy trial is going, but I haven't really followed that either. It makes me kind of mad when I see trials because of. I know people in the news don't know anything about it. And so I think. Drew. I just don't follow it because I don't Feel like they know what they're talking about. So I don't really watch them. Do you? No. I'm not someone that does the all day Court TV thing, but once Keith Morrison packages it up into an hour special on Dateline. Yes. Like, so I know Karen Reed from what Datelines told me, but I don't get into the live. So you all do know Karen Reed. So what is it? She supposedly killed her husband and. But there's a lot of people, it seems like they don't think she did. Yeah, they think it was a cover up by the Boston Police Department. Larry. She. She ran over her husband and left him out in the cold when it was like below zero degrees to die. But then they're saying that the Boston Police Department are covering it up and that they. Why? Why would they cover it? Why would they care? Don't know if they were involved. He was a police officer. Oh, yeah. Okay. Well that's an important point. He was a police officer. Okay. It was like a late at night. People have been drinking. They allege that she hit him with a car leaving in the snow or something like that. Right. Clearly I don't know it that well, but that's the. And this is the Drew and Ryan version. The second trial. Yes. Okay. Because what happened to the first one? Can't tell you because you don't know. I don't know. So you don't really follow the story very well. I think it was. They were deadlock six. Six. Okay. Okay. Yeah. All right. Ask anything. Thursday, a different Bob. Bob, go ahead. This is the real Bob. Oh, hey, Bob. How are you? I like. I like to remember Harvey. He was the eye on top of his game and y' all wouldn't ask him the hard question. And what was the hard question? Is all of Rosemary. How it would cure everything. Yeah, that was. That was. Yeah, that was Harvey. You're right. The. The guy from Burnside or whatever. Yes, he was entertaining and he would all Rosemary on the belly buttons. Yes, it worked good on the innings. But what did he do on the Audi? I don't know. And there's one other thing I'd like to ask. The older you get, you get a little spicier. Have you noticed that Shannon about him? The older he gets, like his comments, the risk is not as great. It's a good outlook. That actually is really. There's one other thing I'd like to say back to. Back in the great. To the great programs you had the one in Wadi. Yeah. I love to see Ryan up There with a Conway Twitty hairdo out there at Euros Camping. Appreciate the call. We didn't ever go though. We were supposed to go to Wadi to see the werewolf. That's one of the ones that people say is a KSR thing, Ryan, that never ended up happening because we never went. Yeah, I had my tent, I had my backpack. I was ready to go camping overnight out there. Then they end up catching the dog that they think was doing all the damage. That was a great continuing story for people who haven't been listening for a long time. They thought there was. People in Wadi thought there was a werewolf and it turned out just to be a dog. But that was. That was a good multiple week story. Jacob, go ahead, Jacob. Hey, Matt. So I was just curious. You can kind of elaborate on what happened with Mark Stoops and Texas A and M. I think of course the reports come out A and M saying the donors said no. Yeah, I believe I remember you saying that that was definitely not what happened. But I was just hoping you could laugh. Well, I don't. I mean I, you know, so there was a night. So we beat Louisville during the day that day. I think we beat him at noon and I am fairly confident he had been talking to A and M before that game. I. Then when he won, I think things changed a little bit. There was more. Would you agree with that, Ryan? There was more excitement there for. We lost us. Yeah. Did you. What's going on with Iheart? Do they. All right. Well, I guess we're still here, right? Yeah. You turn them down. So turn them down. We'll keep going. So you know, we, we. We beat Louisville and then I think he was ready to accept the job. But he then wanted to. He told his staff for the first time basically to see who would be going with him if he went. And essentially all or most of his staff it looked like was not going to go. And I think that then gave him some second thoughts. And while he had those second thoughts and was trying to decide whether or not to take it, then they had the whole controversy where a lot of his donors at A and M, they were starting to revolt. And I think the thing just fell apart. Now it's clear from Stoops side it was A. He pulled away. A and M tries to say they pulled away, but I actually think, sir, it was really a. Stoops assumed the whole gang would go with him and the whole gang wasn't going to go with him. Remember that was still Liam Cohen back then. So I think that is what made it all fall apart. But who was the first person to say no? I am not 100% sure, to be honest, but I think they both kind of mutually fell out of love with each other when things didn't work out as they thought they might. Appreciate that. Appreciate it. I'm of the belief that if we lost to Louisville in that game in Louisville two years ago, Mark might have it would have ended up the coach there. But we didn't. Mark. Then things just kind of changed and I was around a lot that evening while it was happening and it was a really bizarre thing to kind of be a part of. It's a great sort of six hours of UK history. Kind of like the six hours when Gillespie left and they couldn't find him and and all that. 859-280-2287 cornbread hemp.com these cornbread Shannon these Cornbread Seltzer seltzers are absolutely taken over.

I'm gonna apologize for the technical problems. Nothing we can do about it, but it's been, I think, a difficulty especially for people listening in Lexington. What is the Louisville side again? Nose whistle 7:90AMcom maybe you could try that one's been more consistent. But I admit it frustrates me to know in that this cannot consistently work. Doesn't happen. Well, I'll just hush about it. But it does drive me crazy. 859-280-2287 it is the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line. A Vision auto glass text machine. 772-774-52541 person writes Matt, I hear through the grapevine that you've become friendly with the administration at U of L, is that true? Say it ain't so. Well, I wouldn't say friendly, but I will, I will say this, and this is something that I genuinely think the University of Kentucky has to change in the coming years. And it has nothing to do with me. It's just in general, U of L is. Well, I'll just use a personal example. If I wanted to Drew, I could call Pat Kelsey, Jeff Brahm, the AD and people high up in the administration. I have their phone numbers now. I have no reason to call them most time. But all of those people that I just mentioned have at some point reached out to me and said, hey, love to meet you sometime. I have no way of contacting directly. Mitch Barnhart, Mark Pope, pretty much anyone except Mark Stoops. And it's because UK has a personal. Like uk, they don't reach out to media. They just don't. The people that work in the media relations department are very nice people, but they don't proact. They see media like as the enemy. And, and they also. And JMI sees them as a competitor. So whereas U of L, they're better at it. They just are. So you wonder sometimes, why does Pat Kelsey and Jeff Brahm get such good press nationally? That's a big part of the reason why. And I don't know what you think, Ryan Drew, but I think it's an absurd situation where it is much. It would be much easier for me to get Pat Kelsey on this show than it has been to get Mark Pope. We are having him next week and I'm glad. But to me that's ridiculous. But that's kind of how it is now. This is a free tool for them to use. This is on statewide right now. Well, maybe not right now because of our difficulties, but I mean, in general we would love to have anyone anytime from over there. And it's very rare that we have a guest or any kind of real conversation with anyone on that side. It's ridiculous. Part of it is, I do think the three letter brand sees us as an enemy, jmi. But also when they have something to promote, why wouldn't you hop on? This is absolutely free to just whatever you're trying to sell, whatever it is. First interview with John Rothstein's Twitter account. Shannon, It's a good question. I'm being serious. Like, I don't, I don't understand. They have offered me to have Pat Kelsey on all the time and I have said to them, I'm not going to do it till I have Pope on But Pope is like, scheduling an interview with the Pope. And when have we ever had a chance to have a UFL coach on this show? Yeah, I just. I. There's a part of me that says, I hope UK realizes we're entering into a different era where this stuff is going to matter a lot more. Fans have so much access to everything, and you're asking them for more money and you're asking them for more attention. And, Ryan, you're asking them to donate, and you're asking them to pay for more when they're getting less. And UK sees themselves as a product that doesn't really need. It can sell itself. And I think they're going to see this year with football that that's not true. And had Cal State, I think they would have seen it with basketball, too. Right? I think you guys hit it. I think it's the folks in the UK sports information. I think they're in a bad position because of the pushback they get from jmi. I think that. I think a lot of it stems from that. They are so scared and afraid of what JMI could do or pull away from them or whatever that they got to, like, walk a thin line with the rest of the media around here. Yeah. And I'm not calling any of these people, Shannon, because I don't need to talk. Want to talk to any of them. Honestly, I just want to sit at home. But it is a dumb world where I can pull up my phone book and have all of the UFL coaches in and I have to go through, like, nine layers of security to get to the Kentucky ones. Yeah. You would think that, like Drew said, they would want to be on this show. Think you would think it. But that talk to the entire state. There's been times, even recently, when you're out, where Ryan and I wanted to do something just outside the baseball stadium to promote. They won't let you know it. Like, we'll be in the parking lot. We're trying to put attention on opening day. They won't do it. Yeah. Nope. Get out of here. Well, they won't do it. I mean, Mark Pope's coming on. I can't do it live. They're making me come in and tape it because I can't be in the building when it's locked. How ridiculous is that? One of the coaches can't come to join us at KS Bar. Can't come to KS Bar because we are a competitor, allegedly. With Malone's. Shannon, stop it. You know, I mean, stop it. It's so ridiculous. And they're only hurting themselves, which they're going to see I think, when the football season starts. David, go ahead. David. Hey, Matt, good morning to you. You had brought up earlier this week about, I guess the decline of John Caliperi's recruiting over the years with Boogie Flan not being a first round draft pick. And it just got me thinking about that time period of time when from 2009 to 2015, Caliperi could just get anybody he wanted, whether it's the number one guy, number two guy. And then from 2015 onwards, it seemed that like Duke was pretty much getting anybody they wanted and Caliper was losing out on the guys he used to get. I think you had told said back in the day that it was a result of like, I think LeBron and Nike's camp had like a friction with John Caliper. And I could be wrong when I said that, but do you think you kind of elaborate more on that? No, that happened. When did, when did Coach K. Drew become the Olympic coach? Was that 2016? Was that when he became he was the coach in 2012 too? Because I think Anthony Davis was. Was on. You're right about that. Yeah. I think what happened, I don't know. Friction, like they were fighting, but LeBron maybe through the Olympic process or whatever, I think they developed a. An affinity for the. For Coach K. I think Worldwide west and Leon Rose kind of became either neutral or they weren't as Cal centric. And it started to show itself. You know, he still got top recruits through 2015, even into 2016, 2017. But then all of a sudden, I think when Duke started going full in on one and done, I think LeBron and them kind of said Drew wouldn't use that. Like if they asked their opinion, I think they said Duke would you agree with that? Yeah. And that got to a stretch where LeBron was bragging on Coach K seemingly all the time. And as you know, in the moment we wasn't too far removed from Lamar LeBron being the wide Rupp arena. And I remember thinking like, what are we doing, LeBron get back over on this side. And that the Olympics was had to have been a big part of it. So I don't think there was like a huge falling out. I just think the most favored nation status went to Duke. And since the guys back then they were recruiting were a small amount of people, these one and done kids, some of them just started shifting their minds in the other direction. Now we still ended up with the Aaron Fox and Malik Monk and some guys that were Jamal Murray that were very highly touted. But I do think it slipped. And then when you get to the Zion years, a lot of those dudes ended up going to Duke. Absolutely. Thanks Matt. Appreciate the call. And I do think that was a big thing Ryan for Cal. He started losing his first choice in guys which I do think hurt him, especially as we get into post. Covid. Yeah. Cause you guys know there for a long time if Cal wanted a guy, he got got that guy. I'd say in his first six years Cal maybe lost on one or two guys. That number grew as the years, as the years went on. 859-280-2287 I'm gonna go fight the Louisville Bats person out here.
