It is Kentucky Sports Radio here live at 5:11 in Hamburg celebrating the army's 250th birthday. We have had a great time here. Ryan deadlifted 240. We opened up cut the cake for the 250th birthday. How's the cake? You already made a mess of it.
- [03:16]
Ryan Lemond
It's really good. I had to replenish all the nutrients I lost dead lifting that enormous amount of weight.
- [03:22]
Matt Jones
Nutrients in that. Yeah, it looks good. At least you have that. Hey by the way, if you join the army here's some benefits. Shannon. Full college tuition coverage.
- [03:30]
Ryan Lemond
That's great.
- [03:31]
Matt Jones
Scholarships, trade training, full medical, dental, vision and life insurance even for family members and a ton of skills you can learn. We were talking about some of the jobs that you could do and you know, even if that's not for you, it's take a time, take a second this weekend to celebrate the army 250 years. Probably every single person listening to this has someone in their family or a friend who's been in the armed forces and who's been in the army and this is a good time to think about it. Today on the 250th anniversary tomorrow I.
- [04:04]
Ryan Lemond
Want to give a shout out 18 year old Jacob Browning back there, I coached him when he was a little guy in football. Signed up, joined the army. He's here to help celebrate.
- [04:11]
Matt Jones
You're 18 now. That's a 35 year old mustache you got right there, man. Army will put hair on your face.
- [04:19]
Ryan Lemond
That's a man right there.
- [04:20]
Matt Jones
Seriously, that congratulations. Congratulations on doing that. 859-280-2287 before we go back to phones, let's go over. There's a bunch of a bunch of sporting events this weekend that I'm going to talk about here in the second hour. But let's start with the one that I think is the most ridiculous. Shannon. In Cincinnati tomorrow night the Savannah Bananas are playing at Great America ballpark and they are. It's sold out. I've never, I've had more people say to me matt, you go in the Savannah Bananas. I'm not. I sold my tickets that I was able to buy. Got some good money for the Savannah Bananas tickets would you go, absolutely.
- [05:00]
Ryan Lemond
I've always wanted to go, but you have to win a lottery just to be able to buy tickets. We season ticket holders, us peasants, have to win a lottery to be able to get tickets to it. But I've always wanted to go. It's kind of like the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball. It looks like a lot of fun.
- [05:15]
Matt Jones
It is like, it's a perfect example of how things will go viral and be huge. I mean, they are getting insane crowds this summer. I don't know how long that'll be able to continue. But it's wild, the crowds they're getting.
- [05:26]
Ryan Lemond
They went from selling out minor league stadiums to now selling out major league baseball stadiums. They were in Louisville last year.
- [05:33]
Matt Jones
They're sold out football stadium. It's crazy. They sell. They showed out Charles sold out Charlotte Speedway twice, like back to back nights. That's crazy to me.
- [05:46]
Ryan Lemond
And they just make it so much fun for the fans. If a fan catches a foul ball, the players out. So they play their own form of baseball. Banana ball, they call it.
- [05:55]
Matt Jones
Is that right? The fan catches it?
- [05:56]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So if there's a foul ball and you catch it, the guy's out.
- [06:02]
Matt Jones
Here's the only thing I don't like about it. I don't like their stupid dancing umpire because, like, if you watch the game. Oh, everybody said, ah. If you watch the game, just all of a sudden they'll be playing. And then all of a sudden he just gets up and dances and everybody goes crazy. And I. For some reason, that annoys me and I don't know why. They also have a shot, a clock. It only goes two hours. The game ends after two hours, no matter what it is.
- [06:23]
Ryan Lemond
I watched the documentary they had on them and fell in love with them. And I've always wanted to see him. So, yeah, next time you get tickets, offer them to Shannon and me first before you go sell them and making all that money. They always play the. The party animals, I think, is the team.
- [06:33]
Matt Jones
They always play a few teams. The party animals, like the. But monsters or something like that.
- [06:39]
Ryan Lemond
I don't think that's a team.
- [06:40]
Matt Jones
There's like three or four teams they play. But anyway. And by the way, the games are real. Like, they don't win. Everybody.
- [06:46]
Ryan Lemond
I was going to ask you that. Like, you know, the Washington in general has only won like once or twice.
- [06:50]
Matt Jones
I think other teams will win.
- [06:51]
Ryan Lemond
Yes.
- [06:52]
Matt Jones
I think Savannah is better, but the other teams will. Will win. All right, so we went. We talked about the board. UK announced another thing yesterday which is. They're putting. They asked the university for $131 million for athletic projects. The board granted 71, and they put, I think, 50 under review. I thought it was kind of interesting, ryan, about the 71, since that was what they had to detail. 41 is going. Excuse me, 40 is going to football renovations, which includes some new suites, an updated sound system, thankfully. And WI fi. They're gonna have WI fi.
- [07:31]
Ryan Lemond
We've been asking for that for years.
- [07:32]
Matt Jones
I don't know if they'll have it this fall, but hopefully for the next one. So WI fi. So those are. Those are. That's good. They're going to do soccer and softball renovations. So it was football. Soccer, softball. What was interesting to me about that is we've talked about sports that I could have seen getting cut. I kind of wondered if soccer might be one of them, because a lot of the SEC teams do not play soccer. Looks like. No, they're putting an investment in it. The other one is they took a $31 million loan for balancing the budget. But in the convert, it was interesting. In the conversation about approving it, they made a point that I do think, in today's world, Mitch Barnhart again needs to be saluted for. This will be the first time that Kentucky's ever had to take a loan for its. Its expenses. They. They. They said. Mitch Barnhart said, we expect to pay it back in, like, three years. But they noted we are the only team in the sec, Ryan, with a balanced budget. We are the only SEC athletic program that operates in the black. At other schools, they have to take money from tuition, the general fund, et cetera. UK athletics operates as its own individual body and comes in the black every year. I bet you there's only a handful of schools in America that do that. I do think Kentucky and especially Barnard deserves credit for that. To have successful programs and actually balance the budget, pretty impressive.
- [09:02]
Ryan Lemond
That's why he's so respected across the country as an athletics director. It's not necessarily what his teams do, but on the business side of it, and you just laid it out for us, that's amazing. He's able to do that year in, year out. Balance the budget for their athletics budget. That spends a lot of money.
- [09:16]
Matt Jones
Finally, Jay Bilis was on a podcast and said something that I get asked about a lot. I got asked yesterday at the house, Judd and Laura's house we were at yesterday, which is, Matt, is anything ever gonna be done about the transfer portal? Specifically, you know, how long people stay. Jay Billis had An interesting point. Now, I don't know, Shannon, if I agree with this. I'm not sure I think he's gonna be right about this. But he's very smart and very respected. He predicted that as part of starting July 1, as part of the new revenue sharing that schools are gonna make, kids sign contracts and basically sign two year deals to come to play at the school. Say, okay, you want us to pay you X amount of money you have to agree to play here for two years. He says he thinks that will make it to where next year's transfer portal has a third as many people as now. That's interesting to me. Now, I wonder, Shannon, if players will just say, no, if you want me, I'm only signing for one year.
- [10:18]
Ryan Lemond
Yep.
- [10:19]
Matt Jones
But then schools could say, all right, what if I gave you $100,000 more and it's two years, you know, 100,000 more a year. I don't know. But it'd be interesting to say. Billis thinks that schools are gonna do the two years pretty consistently. Would you like that? But you'd also be locked in, by the way.
- [10:38]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [10:38]
Matt Jones
If the kid doesn't work out, you gotta get him anyway. It'll be like in the pros if he, if you, if he comes and he said it doesn't work out. Sorry. You're still paying him for two years.
- [10:46]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah. It's a gamble on both sides. It's all gonna come down to, you know, negotiating skills per school and per player. You know, there's so many players in the transfer portal this year, like thousands that were in there. I think that this might give it a little bit more stability if you sign players to two years. So I think as a lean, I kind of like it a little bit.
- [11:06]
Matt Jones
I'm fine with it. But I tend to disagree with Jay. Right. I think a lot of players are going to go, hey, Kentucky, you want me to sign for two years? Well, UConn only wants me to sign for one year and I got more freedom. I'm going to UConn. I kind of think the market is going to make it hard for schools to get guys to sign for two.
- [11:24]
Ryan Lemond
Then what if a guy signs for two years and is eligible or, you know, like, let's say that the draft.
- [11:30]
Matt Jones
He just couldn't transfer to another college.
- [11:32]
Ryan Lemond
Okay. If you're a high end player of five star, maybe in a four star, I wouldn't lock in for two years. I didn't want to just lock in for one year. You have that one good year, maybe you can Move on or go pro.
- [11:41]
Matt Jones
I think there would be players that would want to do it, but they're probably not the best players. Yep.
- [11:46]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, I think you're right about that.
- [11:47]
Matt Jones
I think the best players would want to have the freedom to do it every year. That's just. That's just my guess, but that's kind of how I feel.
- [11:54]
Ryan Lemond
And then would the team necessarily want that type of player to sign for two years? Because, like you said, it may not work out for the team.
- [12:00]
Matt Jones
It's an interesting wrinkle. And it's all the more reason that the people you have in the position doing this stuff need to be business people.
- [12:06]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [12:07]
Matt Jones
You know, they don't need to be just Johnny Joe Bob. They need to be people who understand contracts, who understand negotiation and business.
- [12:14]
Ryan Lemond
You don't want to pay a player an extra $100,000 to come for a second year, then it doesn't work out. Now you're paying that player all that money to sit on the bench.
- [12:22]
Matt Jones
I don't know how it's going to look starting July 1st, but I'm telling you, and I'm. I'm not. People know his name. If you're really involved, I'm not going to give it just because I don't know if he wants that kind. But you and I both know, right, on the basketball side of things, there's a dude that's been doing this for Kentucky for the last three years in the collective sense that everybody should give a thank you to, because he negotiates these deals. And he honestly is part. Not as much as Pope, but he's partially why these guys end up here and nobody knows who he is because he. He's on the private side. He does the Club Blue stuff, But he's been hugely important. And it's because they found a dude who can relate to people, who's really smart, who young people really like, and knows how to deal with their agents. I gotta think, Ryan, a lot of schools don't have a dude like, no.
- [13:17]
Ryan Lemond
And he's very valuable and he's got a financial background. So that's what makes him even more valuable when he comes to negotiating these quote, unquote deals. They're working out with these.
- [13:24]
Matt Jones
And then he represents a lot of these guys when they go to the NBA. So he represents Bam Adebayo and Anthony Davis and a lot of those guys. Kentucky's lucky to have that guy. And I guarantee you, most people don't know his name. Shannon, do you even know.
- [13:36]
Ryan Lemond
I don't know his Name. But whoever you are, thank you.
- [13:38]
Matt Jones
Yeah, well, he knows who he is. He's probably listening right now. Big salute. Who's up next? Bob is up next. Is this Bob in Jamestown? Because I have something to say to him if he does. No. Okay. By the way, a second, Bob, this made me a little sad. The ladies of ksr, you know I mentioned that Facebook pages.
- [13:59]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [14:00]
Matt Jones
They had like over a hundred people try to join the page and when you do you have to ask questions. Some of them I think were newer listeners. They didn't know the answer the question. So I told the woman that runs it make the questions easier. So they just made a question of name your favorite KSR caller.
- [14:16]
Ryan Lemond
No.
- [14:16]
Matt Jones
35% said Bob and James.
- [14:18]
Ryan Lemond
Wow.
- [14:20]
Matt Jones
Now I'm gonna argue it's because that's the only one they know because otherwise I don't think women would pick Bob and Jamestown.
- [14:28]
Ryan Lemond
I think Bob and Jamestown created a bunch of Facebook accounts.
- [14:32]
Matt Jones
Women's accounts.
- [14:33]
Ryan Lemond
Yes, it checks out.
- [14:35]
Matt Jones
That might be right. All right, go ahead, Bob. This is old Bob. I understand Bob mentioned people that have.
- [14:43]
Ryan Lemond
Contributed to the professional from Kentucky. Yes, one I think is 11 championships in the ABA and he played for championships in the NBA. Was Cliff Hagen.
- [14:57]
Matt Jones
I mentioned him. Bob, the next segment, the next segment. I mentioned it. Okay.
- [15:04]
Ryan Lemond
But anyway, he and Frank Ramsey were a pair at Boston and Red Arrowbox. That's the biggest mistake he ever made was when he got rid of Cliff Hagen.
- [15:16]
Matt Jones
Yeah, I appreciate the call, Bob. Yes, we mentioned him. I did. I did forget him in the first round. But otherwise I think we did a good job with our list. When it's all said and done with cow guys, what's going to be the final ranking of cow guys? When it's all said and done, when they're all retired, how are we going to in the pros? Cow guys in the pros.
- [15:34]
Ryan Lemond
In the pros, like you laid out Anthony Davis going to be number one.
- [15:37]
Matt Jones
You think SGA doesn't pass him? I. I mean there's a world where SGA could. He could MVP a couple times. I mean it's possible. But you still would go Davis.
- [15:45]
Ryan Lemond
I go Davis 1 Shay 2 shade. Then it gets a little dicey. Maybe Carl Anthony Towns is going to be in the top five. Julius Randall may end up in the top five. Booker. Booker.
- [15:55]
Matt Jones
What do you think? Anybody? Is there any young guy? Bam. Bam's easy to forget. But Bam's. I mean BAM's two time Olympic gold medal winner won a title, I think. No, he hasn't won a Title.
- [16:08]
Ryan Lemond
Murray is still out there. He won a title.
- [16:12]
Matt Jones
I don't know if he'll get it next year, but if he stays in San Antonio long enough, he could.
- [16:16]
Ryan Lemond
Tyrese Maxey.
- [16:18]
Matt Jones
Yeah. So just. If you're going to predict. I'm going to say. I'm gonna say Shay ends up number one.
- [16:24]
Ryan Lemond
Are you really?
- [16:24]
Matt Jones
Because I think he's gonna be good for another five years. And that team is set up to be good for another five years. They're young. So I'm gonna go. Shay 1, 82, Booker 3, Carl 4, Maxi 5. I think that's how it ends up.
- [16:40]
Ryan Lemond
You can't argue against it. Listen, you know, you try to go on just on titles if you win a title, and that's why, you know, maybe Jamal Murray might sneak up there pretty close to the top five.
- [16:48]
Matt Jones
Yeah, well, it's. I mean, he's gonna have. Here's another way to look at. How many hall of Famers is he gonna have? Shay's gonna be a Hall of Famer. Anthony Davis is going to be a Hall of Famer.
- [16:59]
Ryan Lemond
The other ones.
- [17:00]
Matt Jones
Are Kevin Booker gonna be a Hall of Famer. He's gonna be close. He and Carl are gonna be close.
- [17:05]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [17:05]
Matt Jones
But Anthony Davis and. And Shay, he'll at least have two. Maybe he has four. I mean, it's plausible. We'll see. They're close.
- [17:13]
Ryan Lemond
They're very close.
- [17:14]
Matt Jones
They're close. I don't know if they will be or not. Tell me about Stockton Morgan Stockton Mortgage.

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio here live at 5:11 at Hamburg. Got a lot of army tactical gear, like sort of, you know, hunting the manly stuff in there. They want me to come and get some manly stuff when it's over. I'm gonna look manly.
- [20:34]
Ryan Lemond
I'm waiting for you to put. Yes you are. I'm waiting for you to put that helmet on.
- [20:38]
Matt Jones
Oh, I forgot. I need to do that here in just a second. Text machine 772-774-5254. One person writes. Matt, I enjoyed listening to your pot. Your show last night, the Matt Jones show with Billy. It was fun watching Billy get educated about politics. No, if he was. Billy was good last night. I was proud of him. He edited out one line he didn't want to be said over the radio because he was embarrassed. But beyond that, he died. We put it all up there. Understood. You were, you were right to do that. Okay, but, but so check that out this weekend, just us talking about stuff and I got a lot more positive feedback than I thought I would on it. So thank you to all of you who listened.
- [21:18]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, you, you warned us. It's not a sports broadcast.
- [21:20]
Matt Jones
It's not. And it's, you know, don't, I mean I don't, I don't want to get into it, but just, just check it out if you want. On there, one person says, Matt, why wouldn't schools sign a contract with the player, allow an opt out for the school if the player doesn't work out? Well, why would you say that wouldn't happen?
- [21:39]
Ryan Lemond
Wouldn't because the player would.
- [21:41]
Matt Jones
Why would the players.
- [21:42]
Ryan Lemond
I mean, that's the thing.
- [21:44]
Matt Jones
Part of what has happened with all this is we've given players something they used to not have, which is rights. So why in the world is the player going to sign something where the school can get out of it and they can't?
- [21:56]
Ryan Lemond
Because you know, very good deal to me.
- [21:59]
Matt Jones
And you know what will happen is another school that's trying to get him instead of us. We'll just say, all right, we'll sign the same deal, but we won't make you put the opt out.
- [22:05]
Ryan Lemond
Absolutely.
- [22:06]
Matt Jones
So I mean that's the thing, is that you've heard me say over the years when we've talked about this. College sports has been the only entity in America that does not app. That has not operated as capitalism. Now it's capitalism. You're going to have to offer a better deal than your competitor to get Someone to come work for you. That's what it's going to be. And so Kentucky, they, Kentucky can say, hey, we'll give you this, we can opt out after a year. You can't. But if Tennessee wants to say something different, Tennessee's gonna get them. Like that's gonna be how it is. It's capitalism.
- [22:37]
Ryan Lemond
When you're negotiating these contracts, can like insurance and benefits and all that stuff get thrown into negotiations as part of something?
- [22:44]
Matt Jones
Well, no, I mean, part of the settlement is giving those people insurance. Like. Well, they've always had insurance, but now they're gonna have workers comp. You know, part of what the NCAA did or not workers comp. But like if people get hurt, though, part of what the NCA did is, and this was good, they put a chunk of money from the major schools away. That goes to the small schools for when players get serious injuries. Because, you know, there were small schools out there that could not pay for that.
- [23:11]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [23:11]
Matt Jones
And now the, the large schools, unbelievably to me, are actually agreeing to put money so that if a kid plays for, you know, I don't know, Murray State and he gets hurt and it's a long term life injury, there's money for him, which is good. That's a positive.
- [23:27]
Ryan Lemond
I think Billis is right on, on this. I mean, more and more college has become closer to the NBA. So I can see contracts being a part of the college game.
- [23:35]
Matt Jones
Yeah, Cal, Cal Perry. Some reports that he's called and said to the Knicks, I'm available. What do you make about that?
- [23:47]
Ryan Lemond
Not shocked. Same old Cal. Kind of throwing his name out there, trying to Jill up, drill up some exposure again for him, get his name out there like he did when he was here. You know, I'm flirting with UCLA, you know, the 76ers.
- [23:59]
Matt Jones
Well, I think when he flirted with UCLA and with Cleveland and those, I think those schools actually wanted him. Shannon, I don't know why the Knicks would want. Yeah, I mean, no offense, but he's a 712 years old and why would they want him? Now?
- [24:13]
Ryan Lemond
That's a great question. And usually when you're the coach and you're making the first move, it's not a good sign. You know, I think that they should come after him first if they're interested.
- [24:21]
Matt Jones
I do think it's clear the Knicks fired their coach without any plan.
- [24:26]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [24:26]
Matt Jones
Because they've, they've gone to like six different NBA coaches and the coaches, that's their teams have said, no, you can't.
- [24:32]
Ryan Lemond
You Know, it serves them right, though. Tom Thibodeau took them to the. The Eastern Conference finals.
- [24:37]
Matt Jones
But like, Jason Kid, MAU Doku. Who else? Quinn Snyder. They've already been turned down by Billy Donovan. I mean, like, I don't know. They really did not know what they were, who they were going to get.
- [24:51]
Ryan Lemond
See, I. When they did it, I thought it was exactly the opposite. I thought they had a deal in place with somebody or. Why else will they let Thibodeau go like that? But obviously, I was wrong.
- [24:58]
Matt Jones
Looks like they did not. They just decided to do it. Who's next? Danny is up next. Danny. Go ahead, Danny. Hey, guys. Hey. I just want to give you a little bit of some flowers that. What makes this show so special to me is you all traveling around the state and doing these special remotes. That is that you all just kill it when you do that. And I just want to thank you for that. And then on the next. That's very kind of you.
- [25:27]
Ryan Lemond
Everybody says, oh, he has a better.
- [25:29]
Matt Jones
Chance to win at Louisville. No, he has an easier chance to win Louisville, because that's exactly right. So that's it. That's. That's. That's. That's actually a better way to put it. I agree with that, sir. I appreciate the call. Yes, Vince might win more at Louisville, but because it's easier there, they're playing in the acc. I mean, again. Well, let's do this. I'm gonna pull up Louisville's football schedule. Okay, so let's. You tell me, who does Kentucky play in the SEC next year?
- [25:59]
Ryan Lemond
Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, Ole Miss, South Carolina. Vanderbilt. Yep.
- [26:06]
Matt Jones
All right, can I read you Louisville's conference schedule for 2025? Okay, well, first it has to come up, but 2025 schedule. All right, so here's Louisville. This is their conference. Well, here, let me just read you their whole schedule. Eastern Kentucky, James Madison, Bowling Green, 3 030. Now, here's their conference schedule. Pitt, Virginia, Miami, Boston College, Virginia Tech, Cal, Clemson, smu. Good grief. So who do you. Who has a better chance of winning those games? Louisville. So, yeah, I like that. I need to start using the word Shannon. Easier instead of better. Because it is easier. It just is.
- [26:48]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, I mean, the ACC versus the SEC in football, there is zero comparison to the two. I mean, you're. You know, you're playing against the top teams in America when you're in the sec, and there's no Georgia, there's no Tennessee even close.
- [27:00]
Matt Jones
And I also remind you that last year, when I think Louisville went 9 and 3 or whatever they were. They won almost every game on the last possession. But they also didn't play Clemson.
- [27:12]
Ryan Lemond
Right.
- [27:13]
Matt Jones
And they didn't play. And there was somebody else good. But they didn't play Clemson, the best team in the conference. So it is worth noting that they have got, they get some breaks with the schedule.
- [27:22]
Ryan Lemond
You got one team that even gonna probably flirt with the playoffs and that's Clemson. We got four teams coming to our field of home games that are flirting with the playoffs next year.
- [27:30]
Matt Jones
Yeah, I mean, well, it's for Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, Florida all go into the conference thinking they can make the playoffs next year.
- [27:40]
Ryan Lemond
Probably Ole Miss too.
- [27:41]
Matt Jones
And Ole Miss. So we have five games of teams and Louisville thinks they can make the playoffs. So you could argue half our schedule.
- [27:48]
Ryan Lemond
That's right.
- [27:48]
Matt Jones
Is against teams.
- [27:49]
Ryan Lemond
We're going to get a conference conference home win this year.
- [27:52]
Matt Jones
Don't give me with specifics. We'll take a break and be right back. Kentucky Sports Radio welcome back Tech Sports radio here live. 250th anniversary of the U.S. army. You took a picture of me in the, what do you call the headpiece there. Is it like army combat helmet? An ach. You took a picture and I do not look like a military person.
- [28:15]
Ryan Lemond
I think you'll get this.
- [28:16]
Matt Jones
You didn't do a great job of framing that.
- [28:18]
Ryan Lemond
Well. I think the ladies are going to endure you as much as they do in your cowboy hat.
- [28:22]
Matt Jones
I don't think it looked, I don't think that was exactly the same. But, but that's all right. Cornbread Hemp though, this weekend if you're trying to rest, relax from this heat. Cornbreadhip.com the seltzers. What's your favorite seltzer? Shane?
- [28:35]
Ryan Lemond
Salted watermelon is my absolute favorite. Yeah, I like the salt peach tea. That one's a good one too. Good one, yeah.
- [28:41]
Matt Jones
Yes. Try it. It's Cornbread Hemp is the good life. There are new title sponsor of the Matt Jones show on WHS and podcast Cornbread Hemp. Use my code KSR 30% off your first order. Cornbread Hemp and Cornbread Hemp.com There are a lot of sporting events this weekend. This is another June weekend with a lot that you don't think of. So I'm gonn them really quick. Let's go. I'm wearing an Edmonton Oilers hoodie. Last I I, I know a lot of y' all don't watch hockey, but this has been like the best series maybe ever. I mean it's been last Night. They won in overtime or again, five to four. It's two games to two in Edmonton in Game 5. They are saying it could be one of the loudest games in the history of hockey.
- [29:23]
Ryan Lemond
Wow.
- [29:23]
Matt Jones
Edmonton. There are already Edmonton people waiting in line for the game on Saturday to get ready for it. Will you watch any of it?
- [29:33]
Ryan Lemond
I probably won't watch a second of it, but I am paying attention more to it than probably I ever have. Just because it's been. Every game has been like, Florida players.
- [29:41]
Matt Jones
Shannon, are like you. They're little annoying gnats. Okay.
- [29:45]
Ryan Lemond
Annoying.
- [29:46]
Matt Jones
No, I mean, they try to fight.
- [29:47]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [29:48]
Matt Jones
Let me tell you what. What one of them did last night. All right, so the goalie was out on the ice warming up. Right. So they're hitting. They're hitting shots at him and he's moving to get him and sliding.
- [29:58]
Ryan Lemond
Yep.
- [29:58]
Matt Jones
Florida's backup goalie went right in his line of vision and was just mocking whatever movement he made. No, I'm not kidding. As he was like trying to. He knew the goalie would be looking at him and whatever. The backup goalie just did the exact same thing he did. Rather than warming up himself, he existed only to troll. Do you like that?
- [30:24]
Ryan Lemond
I haven't watched any of the finals, but now I know who my favorite team is. Florida. So I will be watching.
- [30:29]
Matt Jones
There was a guy, Wayne Gretzky was on the postgame show. There's a guy's name's like biz or something. He wears a mustache. He's kind of their Charles Barkley in hockey. He. They. He said of the eight most annoying players in the league, Ryan, Florida has five of them. Wow.
- [30:44]
Ryan Lemond
So, I mean, so quite a ratio.
- [30:46]
Matt Jones
So that's probably why they're known as.
- [30:48]
Ryan Lemond
Well, they obviously must be good. They won last year. Trying to repeat again this year in the finals.
- [30:52]
Matt Jones
I'm for Edmonton. They care more. All right, NBA Finals, same thing. Game four tonight in Indiana could be absolutely wild in terms. If they win, they could win the series. Tickets are insane right now. If you go on the secondary market, I know you're excited.
- [31:10]
Ryan Lemond
I got my Pacers hat on, man. I've been sporting it all the last couple of weeks. Pacers will not lose at home tonight. Win up 3, 1. Will not lose. Can't lose at home tonight. I'm pulling for Indiana, but I picked OKC in six. I'm going to stick with that. Indiana, I don't think wins another game.
- [31:27]
Matt Jones
College World Series, first time in ever. Eight teams, seven different conferences here. They said there'd be no parody. But eight teams, seven different conferences. The SEC is the only one with two. You got lsu. You got Arkansas, ucla, Louisville, Oregon State, Coastal Carolina. Who am I missing?
- [31:48]
Ryan Lemond
Murray.
- [31:51]
Matt Jones
I'm an idiot. Murray State. There's still somebody else anyway. Miami. Miami. What do you think? No, Miami lost. Never mind. Shut up, Matt. Wait, who you are you gonna watch?
- [32:01]
Ryan Lemond
It's crazy. Only two SEC teams, and they're gonna play each other in the first round.
- [32:04]
Matt Jones
And they're probably the two best teams left in the tournament.
- [32:06]
Ryan Lemond
But what's the only state that has two teams in the College World Series? Kell?
- [32:10]
Matt Jones
I don't count Louisville. We have one team in the state. Okay. No, I'm kidding. I like the city. Yeah, but.
- [32:16]
Ryan Lemond
But I'll be watching all the games. Of course. Yeah.
- [32:21]
Matt Jones
Against Louisville. The US Open is taking place in the through the first two rounds. It's the second hardest course they've ever had in the US Open. A guy this morning shot 51 on the front, which is really, really, really, really bad. Leaderboard kind of stinks, though. The good, huh? You can do that. That's exactly right. The leaderboard kind of stinks. Do you like watching the US Open? Because the golfers all struggle. Do you enjoy that? Because they do struggle.
- [32:47]
Ryan Lemond
They do struggle. And I do enjoy that, but I don't watch it.
- [32:49]
Matt Jones
All right, so you're out on the US Open.
- [32:51]
Ryan Lemond
I might watch a little bit of it. It does make it more relatable for somebody like myself, who is terrible at golf, to watch professionals be terrible at golf.
- [32:58]
Matt Jones
You need to watch. There's a shot Jordan Spieth hit yesterday that. He hit it like a foot. He was trying to hit a full shot. It literally went a foot. So there is something about that that's good.
- [33:07]
Ryan Lemond
I also like the story about Scotty Scheffler's Venmo being public. Somebody got a hold of it. Now people are send tips when they win bets or maybe if they didn't win a bet. Yeah.
- [33:17]
Matt Jones
All right. And then finally, Ryan, you can answer this. The high school baseball and softball tournament feels like it goes on for two to three months. It is still going on this weekend. The boys, I think it's like Trinity Boyd County. I can't PRP and somebody else. And then the girls is like assumption. And so you tell us you know better than anybody who's winning.
- [33:40]
Ryan Lemond
Well, you know, they used to do it all. The Sweet 16 in one weekend. But then it got to the championship game and teams were having to throw like a JV kid that only Threw like, didn't throw one varsity game all year in the state championship game. So they got a final four. Gave them another week so their best pitchers can pitch this weekend in the final four. That's what they did for baseball. PRP and Trinity are in opposite brackets. I think it's gonna be an all Louisville final. Prp.
- [34:01]
Matt Jones
Yeah. I know people don't like necessarily always cheering for Louisville schools, but on Saturday, if you have nothing to do and it ends up being PRP and Trinity, that might be one of the better high school finals they've had absolutely. In years here. Those are two really, really good teams. Prp, by the way, you know, I hadn't won anything in a long time, so I'm kind of pulling for prp. What about you?
- [34:21]
Ryan Lemond
I think I'm going for PRP as well. Now, you talked about the. The pitching side of this for softball, though. Softball players can throw.
- [34:28]
Matt Jones
They pitch till their arms.
- [34:29]
Ryan Lemond
They can throw every game, right?
- [34:30]
Matt Jones
Yeah. Those girls can pitch, like, every game.
- [34:31]
Ryan Lemond
I never understood, like, exactly why that is. I know it's a different motion. Different motion. It doesn't hurt your arm as much, but I guess you're trying to consider. Not put anybody at risk. So he spread it out over two weeks.
- [34:41]
Matt Jones
Yeah. The girls in the College World Series just pitch and pitch and pitch. Who's up next? Jared is up next. Jared. Go ahead, Jared. Hey, man. I just am very disappointed in the UK fans that are wishing Vince Merrill success or happiness at U of L. I mean, my dad, for instance, I mean, died in 2013. Great friends. Played football at Blage High School with Howard Schnellenberger. Never ever heard him wish him success at UofL when he. He always felt that he betrayed, you know, UK and him remain friends. I mean, Howard came to my dad's funeral, but he never wished him well at UofL when they. When they played. And it just. It's disappointing. I mean, in fact, take my dad when. When UofL used to play in basketball, the USSR Soviet Union team, we would.
- [35:38]
Ryan Lemond
All gather around and.
- [35:40]
Matt Jones
And cheer for the Soviet Union team. You just can't cheer for U of L. That's a great. Yeah, fair enough. I get it. I. I appreciate the call. I generally agree with you. I can't cheer for a little. I did have a guy write me on the text machine. I don't have it pulled up or I would read exactly what he said, but he said something like, matt, if you only listen to ksr, you would think that the state that are Kentucky fans all Hate Louisville. He's like. But in my experience, over half of Kentucky fans still cheer for Louisville when Kentucky's not playing. I think that's nonsense. But I also live in my KSR world. Do you think there's any chance that's true?
- [36:21]
Ryan Lemond
They're rivals. I don't think you want your rival to win ever.
- [36:24]
Matt Jones
But do you know people who also cheer for Louisville?
- [36:27]
Ryan Lemond
Maybe your dad might be the only one. He's a Louisville fan. Yeah. Yeah.
- [36:32]
Matt Jones
I don't.
- [36:33]
Ryan Lemond
Before I got it.
- [36:34]
Matt Jones
Imagine cheering for Kentucky and Louisville. Hillary Clinton is the only person I could see cheering for both teams. Because, like, you have to have principles. You have to have principles. Like, I'm still mad at Andy Beshear for that Louisville hat. And I know he's the governor of Kentucky and I get it, but, like, principals.
- [36:53]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah. I don't know anybody in real life that pulls for both.
- [36:56]
Matt Jones
I could not cheer for Louisville or Tennessee in any game unless they were playing with each other or playing against each other. I'd pick the one I hated the least in it. But otherwise, other teams. There's a world. There's even a world. I can see myself cheering for Duke. I cheer for the football team sometimes. There's no world. I can see myself cheering for Louisville or Tennessee.
- [37:20]
Ryan Lemond
Now, here's a caveat. I just thought of it. I know some people who are Kentucky fans, but their kid went to play for Louisville.
- [37:26]
Matt Jones
If they. We've talked about.
- [37:27]
Ryan Lemond
Yes.
- [37:28]
Matt Jones
Like if Josiah was playing for Louisville football. You are allowed to cheer for Louisville football. I give you permission.
- [37:34]
Ryan Lemond
But then when the season careers.
- [37:36]
Matt Jones
When the career's over, it's over.
- [37:38]
Ryan Lemond
Over.
- [37:39]
Matt Jones
And you can't cheer for another sport. You can't go cheer for their. So you can cheer for the team. Your son is agreed. That's it.
- [37:45]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah. That's the one free pass you get. There's always an exception. That's it right there.
- [37:49]
Matt Jones
Do you agree with that?
- [37:50]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, I think so. I mean, you would almost have to cheer for your kid. Yeah. I mean, imagine you didn't cheer for your kid. You go to the game, you lose, son. Actually, I might do that. You know, Sounds like something I would.
- [38:01]
Matt Jones
Do if anybody was going to do it. I could see you do it. We will take a break. We are here at the Army's 250th birthday. Final segment before the weekend. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

- [42:02]
Matt Jones
From field to Fork. Noche Lindafarms.com innocate CH Linda Farms.com you know, we say facts are optional here. I don't get everything right. I said PRP hadn't won anything in a while. They did win the state title last year, but besides that, they don't win anything a lot. I am going to go this weekend, though, out next to prp I've been told is like a place with the best sandwiches in Lexington or in Louisville. Gorilla Bob's.
- [42:33]
Ryan Lemond
Gorilla Bob.
- [42:34]
Matt Jones
Is it good?
- [42:34]
Ryan Lemond
Marcia says I'm going there.
- [42:38]
Matt Jones
Get the Cuban at Gorilla Bob's. All right, so I'm gonna try. I don't know. I'm not giving my endorsement. I've never been, but some. I had two different people this weekend. Say, Matt, when you go to Louisville Gorilla Bob. So I'm gonna try Korilla. You've been there.
- [42:51]
Ryan Lemond
I've never been there before, but it sounds good. If Marsha likes it, I'm sure I would like it, too. So let me ask you, now that you know that PRP just won last year, does that change who you want to win this year?
- [43:00]
Matt Jones
No, I still always pick a public school over a private school. I'm always going to pick PRP over. But also, I never get to that part of town. Like, you got to want to go out there.
- [43:09]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [43:10]
Matt Jones
You know what I mean? Like, it's way out there. And so. But so I will. Maybe I'll eat. Well, the game's in Lexington. I guess I won't go to the game out there, but I will at least go to Grill.

Johnson that I saw online was really funny of him juggling three basketballs. And I was just wondering which one of you guys would learn to juggle the quickest. I can juggle. I don't need to learn. I can't juggle basketballs, but I can juggle tennis balls. You've seen me do it. I mean, I'm not, like, great, but I can do it. But basketball is. I don't. I. I guess I could learn. If you can learn tennis balls, you can learn better. Have you seen that video? Jasmine Johnson? He's like, I want to see a juggle.

Ryan Lemond
I'm gonna go get these three chocolate chip cookies. I'll let you juggle those.
- [44:26]
Matt Jones
Yeah, I'm still. I. They have to. Everything has to be the same. Like, it needs to be that in order for me to do it. I'll juggle these knives here. My money's on Dr. Could do it. What do you mean, your money's on Drew? Just hang up on Ben. Who's next? I actually can.
- [44:40]
Ryan Lemond
Dr's not even here.
- [44:41]
Matt Jones
Money's on Drew. He's in New York. Who's next? Mac is up next. Mac, Go ahead, Mac. Hey, there.
- [44:49]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, just comment there. I. I am a Kentucky fan, but I pull for all the Kentucky schools in their.
- [44:55]
Matt Jones
Whether it's football, baseball, basketball, when they're when they're playing.
- [44:58]
Ryan Lemond
But my questions are in, in college basketball, when are they going to go to six fouls and when they go to four quarters.
- [45:09]
Matt Jones
Four quarters maybe. Certainly four quarters is going to happen. If it doesn't happen this year, it'll happen the next year, but it's going to happen. I wouldn't be shocked if happens this year. Six fouls I think is unlikely, especially when they go to four quarters. As far as cheering for Louisville, all I can say, sir, is you should be ashamed. That's all I can say. But for the rest of the teams in Kentucky, I'm with you. I cheer for Murray more. Eastern, Western, Western. Most of the time. All of my. I can't. I can't cheer for a little.
- [45:41]
Ryan Lemond
Well, that's okay.
- [45:42]
Matt Jones
Appreciate the call for Bellarmine. Like trancy. I'll even cheer for center but can't cheer for Louis.
- [45:52]
Ryan Lemond
I guess we always have that debate. Louisville and Cincinnati. Louisville and Tennessee.
- [45:55]
Matt Jones
Call sir.
- [45:56]
Ryan Lemond
Louisville versus Tennessee or Louisville versus Duke.
- [45:58]
Matt Jones
Pins on pins on the team. Team depends on the team. Like it depends on do I like if like when Kenny Payne. I think one year Kenny Payne maybe played against Tennessee and I cheered for Kenny Payne because Tennessee was good and Louisville was terrible. So I didn't want Tennessee to win. So it depends on the circle when those two play.
- [46:17]
Ryan Lemond
I don't know though, man. Tennessee and Louisville. Can you just hope that nobody wins?
- [46:21]
Matt Jones
This just ends up in general would end up going to Mars. Who's next? Adam is up next. Adam. Go ahead, Adam. Hey guys. I just want to say happy birthday, United States Army.
- [46:35]
Ryan Lemond
So proud of what you all do every day for us and grateful that you all do it. But Matt, I just want to ask a question.
- [46:41]
Matt Jones
Paul Kogan is supposedly going to try to bail out Hooters and try to.
- [46:46]
Ryan Lemond
Bail out Hooters and since you.
- [46:49]
Matt Jones
And since you've had your like I.
- [46:51]
Ryan Lemond
Guess your toes and bow the restaurant business and the. In the.
- [46:55]
Matt Jones
In the wrestling business, I would just want to see what you. What your take was on that and I appreciate you letting me be on and like I said, happy birthday. I think that's a little bit the restaurant a little bit different than the. You know, I appreciate the call the restaurant I would say I've been involved in with law and a lot of different businesses, obviously with media own some real estate. The two hardest businesses I've ever been in to make money are restaurants and wrestling. So if you're telling me you're trying to combine the two, good luck, Mr. Pectacular.
- [47:30]
Ryan Lemond
Bring you a burger out on skates.
- [47:32]
Matt Jones
Good luck, man. Those are the two hardest things to make money on. You know, I think the problem for Hooters is, like, there's so many other options now. When I was a kid, if you wanted wings, like, that was the one place. And now you got. Got local places like KS Bar. You got people who, like, just have little holes in the wall where they only do wings. You got wing stop. I think so. I. I think that the. Those two things. I think it's gonna be hard, but. And plus, you know, well, we don't have to go into detail, but I think Hooters makes it tough now. Two people have more options, Shannon, even in that world, than they used to. So I. I just think it's hard.

Ryan Lemond
That's the one thing that's holding me back from investing in Chi Cheese. You know, I could be a part owner of Chi Cheese, but I'm afraid, you know, El. No. Paul is out there. It might end up being better than Chi Cheese would love.
- [48:14]
Matt Jones
I think you. I would love for you to just go all in on. I feel like that is your.
- [48:19]
Ryan Lemond
Doesn't seem very wise.
- [48:20]
Matt Jones
That is your thing. One more real quick. Who's next? Matt is up next. Matt, 30 seconds, go. Okay.
- [48:28]

Ryan Lemond
We all have great fathers, so happy Father's Day to all of our dads. And I hope to get to see him. Well, I'm gonna see him next weekend. I don't know if I'm gonna get a scene this weekend or not. Well, I'm supposed to go to a pontoon boat with my kids for Father's Day but storm if it storms then I think I'm gonna go to Indiana.
- [49:40]
Matt Jones
