It is Kentucky Sports Radio Tuesday, June 17th. I am Matt Jones here off Leavestown Road on Town Center Drive at the Glenn Eye center right here in Lexington, Kentucky. You can give a shout on the Clark's puppet Shop phone line 859-280-2287. A Vision Auto Glass text machine is 772-774-5254. In this edition sponsored by the TJ Smith Law Office. If you can called TJ, he'll make them pay. This is a part of a new initiative this we're doing this summer where we are during the summer going to some businesses. We don't tell people where we are. We just come and we're here. It's they're like non crowd shows so that you but to help well to advertise for businesses around the city and state and you can call iHeart and learn how to do those. We're doing our first one here at the Glenn Eye Center, a new I glasses store slash optometrist off off Leavestown right next to where they're putting in the new what first watch. Is that right?
Drew
First watch going in right next door.
Matt Jones
So the new Drake. You know Drew, you and I lived right across the street from here. Yes, I mean we both lived right across the street. I used to come to this little area and the only thing here was this Applebee's. That was it. That's all that was there was Applebee's. We've talked about. I spent a Christmas night at that Applebee's once before and now look at this place. There's all this stuff including Glen Eye center with this wonderful ability to. I, I ordered some glasses. Yeah, you saw that.
Unknown Speaker
This is my old block. This shopping center is where I famously went to join a gym. And the gym had since become a Domino's. So I got pizza and went home. It's one of my favorite moments in my life. I was dressed to work out. I'd been meaning to join it as one of those 24 hour places for months. Finally got the courage to win and it was a domino's So I just still gave him business.
Your priorities just took over.
Right. The address.
Matt Jones
I absolutely love that. I love that. You know, I really feel like working out now. I'll just get fat. That's okay. That's. That's a tough. That's a tough change for members of that gym.
Unknown Speaker
Well, certain gyms, Planet Fitness, they actually offer, like, pizza for everybody like the first Monday of the month. I always thought that was kind of strange. You mean, so you go into the gym, like, the first Monday of every month. They would just have pizza laid out for everybody, like, come eat pizza, then go work out.
Well, they don't want you getting too fit because then you'll cancel your membership. You reach your goals, they got to keep you chubby.
Matt Jones
You know what? It's like the American pharmaceutical industry. They got to keep you addicted. They got to keep you addicted to the. To. To. To. That hadn't thought.
Unknown Speaker
Have a slice while you're doing your curls.
You know, this is also a famous block for Ryan. Isn't this where you race your son and broke a leg or something, walk.
Drew
Right across the parking lot from El Mariachi down to Domino's. He and I raced down the. The sidewalk. I ended up doing a Pete Rose slide down the sidewalk.
Matt Jones
Right? You, like, broke something, didn't you?
Drew
I've broken. Well, I pulled my. My groin racing.
Unknown Speaker
He does that every time he gets up. Bulls is growing.
Matt Jones
Yeah, well. Well, now you don't have to do any of those things. You can come to the Glen eye center. They've got, like, very nice glasses. You got great Ray Ban, Gucci, Prada, moomoo. How about that one? And you can get your eyes checked. And like I said, I just bought some glasses. What was the. What was the kind I got Costa?
Drew
I thought you were going down to the moomoos. You were down in that corner over there with a moomoo.
Matt Jones
Or is it Mimi? Okay, well, yeah, the eye should mean something. It wouldn't be moo moo.
Unknown Speaker
They have some glasses. They have sunglasses that help you hear, too. Well, those are kind of cool.
Matt Jones
Yeah. Are they like.
Unknown Speaker
Like, hearing aids?
Matt Jones
They have hearing aid glasses? Well, I put on the meta glasses.
Drew
Yes.
Matt Jones
And I'm scared of them because they are. Meta is in, like, Facebook, right? You. You put them on and you can ask them questions, and they answer it. So, like, I was looking at Mario and Drew, and I said, meta. What am I looking at? And these are the glasses?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Matt Jones
And they told me you're looking at people having a conversation. They didn't tell me, Mario, but I would assume at some point they will be able to tell me, Mario.
Unknown Speaker
So you needed the glasses to tell you that? That's two people having a conversation. You couldn't figure it out for yourself?
Matt Jones
No, but I mean, think about when it could work, though.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Like, you walk upon something, like, let's say you're visiting, I don't know, Barcelona. Right. And you walk upon a building. You don't want to sit there and Google where I am. You could go, meta. What. What am I looking at here? And they would say, oh, that's cool. Yeah, you could see how that would be cool.
Drew
Yeah, I don't know. When I asked that question, they said, you're looking at people having conversation in an eye doctor's office.
Matt Jones
Yeah, they did say that in an I. So that. That's kind of. And apparently you can listen again. This is technology. Probably the rest of the world knows, but it doesn't take much to blow my mind.
Unknown Speaker
Me neither.
Matt Jones
You know, virtual reality, I think, much to blow my mind. You can listen to the show in your glasses and nobody around you knows. Yeah, think about that. You can walk down the street, listen to ksr. Nobody knows.
Unknown Speaker
They also record video and nobody knows. Which could be a dangerous game.
Matt Jones
Oh, really?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. I have a friend that has a pair of those. He's constantly recording whatever he's doing now.
Matt Jones
I don't know about that. That seems a little.
Unknown Speaker
I think one of the OVW guys had that on the other night because he was in a ladder match and you could see it from his perspective, and he went off and did.
Matt Jones
Oh, is that what referees are doing now? Did. See?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. The glasses on. You can see it from a first point. Point of view.
Matt Jones
That's really interesting.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Matt Jones
So. So anyway, this is all just to.
Unknown Speaker
Say technology is crazy these days, kids.
Matt Jones
Can you believe it? They have streaming and the movies are in your tv.
Drew
I mean, I just think it was a big deal when your lenses would tint, get. Get dark when you go outside.
Unknown Speaker
My grandpa had those.
Drew
Yeah.
Matt Jones
You thought that was cool.
Drew
I thought that was the coolest thing ever. You go outside.
Matt Jones
Chad Norfleet had that in 1997 at Transylvania.
Unknown Speaker
That was the peak of technology.
Drew
Cool stuff. Now we got. My glasses are talking to me.
Matt Jones
Yeah. Anyway, you get Glenn Eye center here off. Off Leavestown Road. What is this complex called?
Drew
Town Center.
Matt Jones
Town Center. Town Center.
Unknown Speaker
Town with an E. Right.
Matt Jones
Town with an E. That's how you know it's. It's fancy towns. Town with an E. Town Center Drive. All right, so I want to start with this. I made the Louisville fans mad yesterday. Right.
Drew
Well, that's.
Unknown Speaker
Good for you.
Drew
Congratulations.
Matt Jones
They got very mad at what I thought was a very simple and non controversial opinion. And I'll just. Let's say I'm not gonna call them out because I don't want you getting mad at them because I know you Louisville people are listening almost all of the major Louisville shows. Their host wrote me and said I was right about this. Okay, so. So I don't know why this makes everybody. But. But. But I just make these Louisville people mad. Again, thank you for listening. But I said, you know, that Louisville, Lexington were different cities. Remember I said Vince would not be as popular in Louisville as he is in Lexington. And I was explaining the differences and blah, blah, blah. And then somebody wrote me, Drew. And I thought they explained this perfectly.
Unknown Speaker
Okay, that's rare.
Matt Jones
I. Very rarely in the comment section do people explain things perfectly. I thought this was explained perfectly. In the state of Kentucky, the analogy between Kentucky and Louisville, we like to say it's Big Brother, Little Brother. They like to say they're Big Brother, which is the stupidest convention because there's no way there. But. But Big Brother, Little Brother, I do think downplays a little bit Louisville success right there. The seventh or eighth best college basketball program of all time, depending on your metrics.
Drew
They'd be Big Brother in most states.
Matt Jones
Exactly. I mean, the top basketball programs are tier one, Kentucky, North Carolina, ucla, Tier two by itself, Duke. Then I think Kansas is next. And then after that, depending on what you value, you could say UConn, you could say Louisville, you could say Indiana. Everybody agree with that? Everybody. Is that fair? Everybody agrees with that. Okay. But in the state of Kentucky, I've struggled. So what is the analogy between Kentucky, Louisville and somebody? Hit it, Drew, and see if you agree with this. We are the Lakers, they are the Clippers. Okay, what are you laughing at, Mario?
Drew
Like that.
Matt Jones
That's not crazy.
Unknown Speaker
No, we are the Lakers. See it?
Matt Jones
They are the Clip. Okay? They are the modern Clippers. Not the Clippers that were terrible all the time, but the modern Clippers. And what that means is this. In any given year, the Lakers and the Clippers. The Clippers might be better.
Drew
Yes.
Matt Jones
In a given year, the Clippers have Kawhi. They sometimes. They had Lamar. Right. Like, they can sometimes have the bet. The. The better thing. But in the state of Kentucky, we are the Lakers because A, we've won more, but B, the Lakers losing is a bigger story in la. Than the Clippers win.
Unknown Speaker
Kentucky is the brand. Kind of like the Lakers are the brand.
Matt Jones
The Lakers are the brand. You can put us on television and everybody's gonna watch it. You can put the Clippers on television and they'll watch it. Drew, if they're good, if they have.
Unknown Speaker
Blake Griffin if they're good.
Matt Jones
But if they're bad and they. Then. Then Pat Kelsey has to walk down the street begging people to come to the games. Do you have to beg people to come to Lakers game?
Drew
Never.
Unknown Speaker
No.
Matt Jones
No. But do you sometimes have to beg people to go the Clippers game?
Drew
Yes.
Matt Jones
Right. Now, are the Clippers games sometimes more fun? Yeah. Do the Clippers have the nicer arena now? Yes, if you've been to it. Do they have their own stars? Sometimes. But the Lakers are the team in Kentucky. We are the Lakers. We, you know, as Marcus Teague would say, we, as Kentucky, we give no blanks. And I think that's the analogy I've been looking for. And it's the analogy. Vince will realize that in the state of Kentucky, yeah. If you win, they'll be nice, they'll be excited. But Kentucky will always be Kentucky, just like the Lakers will always be.
Unknown Speaker
I like that because, you know, when I think of Los Angeles and I think of basketball, I think of the Lakers. Sometimes I forget the Clippers even exist.
Matt Jones
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker
And I think when the Clippers are good, yeah, people will go.
Matt Jones
And the Clippers can beat the Lakers in any given year.
Drew
Can. Yeah.
Matt Jones
But they're still the Clippers.
Drew
I love that analogy because that kind of explains it. You know, the high profile Showtime, Lakers. That's Kentucky.
Matt Jones
Yes. Knicks are us. They're the Nets. Right?
Drew
Yeah.
Matt Jones
They might be better in a given year. They can go get Durant, Kyrie, etc. But the Knicks can have Jeremy Lynn and people are still excited about it. That's the analogy. And like I said, I think that's what Vince is going to figure.
Unknown Speaker
I wasn't sure where you're going to go with this, but like everyone else, I agree. Kentucky's the show. It's the hot ticket. You know, you got the. I guess the venue makes a good point. Few things here and there, a little having a good season, but overall it's all about Kentucky. So I like this comparison.
Matt Jones
Yeah, well, I do get annoyed when Louisville fans listen and then get my quotes wrong. What somebody wrote yesterday, Matt Jones goes on the radio and says, no one in Louisville cares about sports. Sports. Not what I said.
Drew
No, you said.
Matt Jones
But I said half the people don't Care about sports. And Shannon, that's. You live there. You know this, right?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Matt Jones
I could walk down Bardstown Road.
Unknown Speaker
None of those people care about sports.
Matt Jones
Those people care about sports. That's why.
Unknown Speaker
I mean, maybe skateboarding, if you count that as a sport, you know.
Matt Jones
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
Or.
Matt Jones
Or hacky sack.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, you know, I guess that could be.
Matt Jones
If weed smoking is a sport. It's the number one level 100 in. In the world.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. Contact bus just from walking around.
Matt Jones
But it is not. And that's the point.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. I like that analysis. Yeah. And you're right. In Louisville, you got half the people that don't care, then the other half, or maybe not half, but let's say 40 of the other people are Kentucky fans.
Matt Jones
Yes.
Unknown Speaker
So the other thing, that happens too, a lot of times we'll say something, they say, you said it. Oh, that's my favorite thing.
Matt Jones
I hate that yesterday that people were like, matt Jones almost fell for a scam like the other game.
Unknown Speaker
Matt's got a timeshare.
Matt Jones
Every. Matt's got a chime share. Matt's got a kid who signed his name to make him go to prison. I mean, it is. It's like if I were the three of you all, I would take it more personally.
Unknown Speaker
No, I like it.
Matt Jones
You all don't have. We have no accountability. Get in trouble for whatever you say. We can say anything, but nobody goes. Matt Jones is a rock star like Shannon. I only get the negative of what you all do and none of the positive.
Unknown Speaker
That's. That's what happens when you're the star of the show.
Matt Jones
Yeah, well, you. You are the star. 859280, 2287, we are at the green eye center. Jason. Excuse me. Glenn Eye center. Jason Glenn was previously located in the Lexington Green for 10 years. He is now here. One stop shop. Eye exams, glasses, contacts and medical eye care. Plus you can try on the cool meta glasses, talk to it, have a conversation, maybe even a friend. On your face.

Matt Jones
Welcome back it is Kentucky Sports Radio 859-280-2287 text machine 772-774-5254 people trying Yankees and Mets are the analogy. I don't think so. The Mets Yankees are the biggest thing in New York but Mets are huge too. I mean the Mets there's a huge part of New York City that also is the Queens is pretty much all the Mets decent part of Brooklyn's the Mets. I think the Mets are almost too big for my analogy. Lakers Clippers I like more or maybe Dodgers, Angels, Cubs.
Unknown Speaker
White talks not give Louisville too much credit.
Matt Jones
Yeah Cubs, White Sox. Cause you know the south side of town likes the White Sox but the Cubs are still the bigger thing, right?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, everybody still, you know, loves the Cubs. Wrigley Field, you know, Bell County, Middlesboro.
Matt Jones
Well except we're, we're the Kentucky is the, is the Kentucky part. We are here at Glenn Eye Center. Part of the reason I like going to places like this, I like these summer things where we go to places with no crowds. We get to learn about the, about the, about where we are. So I was asking about eye exams and he said they still, they still.
Unknown Speaker
Blow the air in your eye. Yeah. Oh hate it.
Matt Jones
That's my least it's honestly partially why I I tend to wear old prescriptions. I don't want to go get the.
Unknown Speaker
Air blow those things. You know it's coming, they're telling you it's about to happen and you still jump back.
Matt Jones
You know I hate it and it's. And he said now they have a way where they can touch your eye. I'm fine with that.
Unknown Speaker
I don't know if I want that.
Matt Jones
I touch my eye all the time just for pleasure. But no, no, just to put my contact. So that doesn't really bother me. You get freaked out when I put my contact.
Drew
I can't even watch videos or other people touch their own eyes. I can't. It's something about it just freaks me out.
Unknown Speaker
I like the air blower. You look down the desert at the hot air balloon and you stare at it.
Drew
My eyes are watering right now just thinking about it.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, it's a beautiful scene, though. Looks like a great day. Wherever that was.
Matt Jones
We also got a question here.
Drew
What?
Matt Jones
What's your name that asked me the question? Stacy. Stacy asked me. And you know, I'm not making fun of this, Stacy, because you're not the first person that's asked me this in the last, last few days. Probably been asked this 10 or 12 times. You know, there were the pictures of all the players, the UK players, like jumping up in the air.
Drew
Yeah, right.
Matt Jones
And doing their thing. And some of them had on what would best be described, Drew, as a sports bra looking thing.
Unknown Speaker
That's exactly what it looks like.
Matt Jones
People ask me, what is that sports bra? But it's men wearing them. Explain to people what that is Because I've gotten asked that a lot now.
Unknown Speaker
They've had them. UK basketball's had them for a couple years. You're seeing them more guys working out this summer shirtless, and it looks like they're just out there in a sports bra. But as I understand it, it reads like everything imaginable, not just heart rate, but they know how fast you're running. And if any given drill you slow down, that shows up on the chart.
Matt Jones
So it's measuring things.
Unknown Speaker
Your constant movement, heart rate, I'm sure is one of the biggest parts, but it knows your speed numbers. I can't even think of to, to list here. It can read about anything.
Matt Jones
Yeah. So yesterday I got to do a kind of cool thing. My mom had to take her brother, went with her brother to, to the doctor. So I took, I had, I was in charge of Larry for the day.
Drew
Nice.
Matt Jones
You know, I, I, I, I. You got like, you've had wife and kids.
Drew
Yeah.
Matt Jones
You all had siblings, you know. Well, Drew didn't, but yeah, you did. You had a sister. So like, I'm not used to taking care of another person. So I'm like taking my 88 year old father around and I was like, what am I gonna do with him during this time? We need to do something fun. So I took him to Memorial Coliseum. Good. I thought he was, he hadn't been in there since 1973. I should have taken you with me, Mario, because it was cool. Like Memorial Coliseum has, you know, all these pictures of all the old teams.
Drew
Yes.
Matt Jones
And he was able to walk around and he was telling me stories about like meeting Alex Groza as a kid and stuff. And that was really neat to do. And then UK was nice enough. You know they're redoing that.
Drew
Yes.
Matt Jones
You know.
Drew
Oh, yes.
Matt Jones
So I thought this was interesting. They're basically taking away the Cal era. Everything up there is NBA, right. They're kind of taking that out and they're making it pretty much Kentucky history now. There was some of that there before, but they're basically making it to where they're going to highlight the history of Kentucky basketball in there. And it not just be kind of the last 15 years. Even though I think that's a great idea. It's also symbolic, Ryan, in some ways of the change just in mentality in the last year.
Drew
And I think that goes along with what Pope went through with the program. He wants to encompass everybody, not just the Cal era. People at Cal did. So that big mural you're talking about all those players it needs to have Jamal Mashburn, Rex Chapman.
Matt Jones
Well, we went to these guys to the practice. Deb Moore is very nice to take my dad so she. He could see where they practice. And I noticed all that stuff's gone. Yeah, like all those NBA cards all around. Like all the. This is like all of that is gone. Drew, I think soon to be replaced by just uk, SEC championships, ncaa, whatever it is they're going to put up there. But the Panini cards of every UK player in the NBA gone.
Unknown Speaker
I think those Panini cards came down in a hurry, like maybe days right now. And it was cool at the time when cows promoting the message. But there's the big NBA mural. It's fascinating. It has like 24 Kentucky players on it, but they might even be in their NBA jerseys.
Matt Jones
They are there.
Unknown Speaker
Now that we've closed the book on that era, I like that Pope is expanding everything that was nice to show a five star recruit. Like look, you want to be one of those guys. But the times have changed. I like it's getting back to the contest.
Matt Jones
I understand it. What they're going to do is they're going to highlight in various sections, here is what we've done in the Final Four. Here's our NCAA tournament success. Here is our SEC tournament success. Here are our guys who've had NBA careers. Here are our guys who've won Olympic gold medals. Remember Kentucky was the U.S. olympic team one year in 1948. We were the whole Olympic team. And I think that's going to be really cool. The. The other thing, and this is more. I think the general public should know this. Many of you know this, but many of you may not. I had Never seen it. You know, Memorial Coliseum is named. It's a war memorial for people who died initially in World War II, but they have now extended it to Vietnam and maybe Korea. I'm not sure they have now built in front of it these pillars that are up. They just went up this spring. And it has the name of every Kentuckian who passed away in World War II, Vietnam War or. And maybe Korea. I think it does. I know it has World War II in Vietnam because I saw the names on there. And it is arranged by county, so you can go to your county that you live in and see every veteran that passed in that war. I went with with Larry to bell county. Was167 People in Bell county, and it was all. You could see last names that. For me in Bell County, I knew these names like Knuckles Ralston, et cetera. But you could do that for any county. And it is in order. And they are pillars up up in there. And then if you go inside, there's an electronic touchscreen that has the same names and you can touch. And some of them, there are stories about them, and some of them, there are interviews with their families or stories about what they did. They really have put the memorial immemorial Coliseum. And I highly recommend, obviously you have a family member who passed, but even if you haven't, it's actually a really powerful thing to stand outside and walk and see every Kentuckian that passed during these wars. Big shout out to the folks at UK that did that. I think it was not just UK athletics, but some UK Historical Society people. One of the guys that did it just happened to be standing there when we were there and explained some of it to me. Ryan. I. I hadn't seen it and really focused on it, and I thought it was great.
Drew
You know, they used to have all the names listed when you walked the concourse of Moral Coliseum, but they took them all down. So I think there was a fear they were going to miss that. So I'm so glad they put those pillars out in front because it's really kind of impressive now when you walk up to it.
Matt Jones
Very impressive. And you can see, like, they have highlighted. This is Bell County. This is Breathitt county. This is Carter county, whatever. And, you know, I don't know that everybody knows that's there, Drew. But now it's great they made that.
Unknown Speaker
A priority when they had to redo Memorial. Like Ron said, they lost some parts that have been there for long time honoring those people. So it's nice as they kept them in the. In the rebuild.
Matt Jones
And you also see things when I went that I didn't expect, like Ricky Lumpkin, former UK football player, giving a tour to the UK School for the Deaf at the basketball facility.
Drew
Really?
Matt Jones
You go like. It's like a mad lib. Who had any idea that would all be there?
Drew
But there was, you know, Adolph Rupp's office is still tucked away back in the corner, but you can't get to it anymore.
Matt Jones
You can't get to it anymore. But that is neat. So, anyway, we will take your calls. I just want to let people know that we are here at the Glen Eye center in Town Center Drive. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back. Glenn Eyes center here off Town Center Drive, Leavestown Road. If you come in and you mention ksr, you can get a free Optomap and retinal exam. It's pretty good. Just mention ksr.
Drew
Yeah, good.
Matt Jones
Little call for an appointment. Or when you come in, just mention ksr. It is the Green Eye Center. Glenn, why do I keep saying green?
Unknown Speaker
Because they were in Lexington Green.
Matt Jones
Glenn, I Center, I've already ordered glasses today.
Drew
You did. So the moomoos.
Matt Jones
They're not Moomoos. Cosmos.
Unknown Speaker
We'll get it right. Listen, by the end of the show.
Matt Jones
Either way, they're going to be good. You saw it took me one minute to pick them out. So it's it. There's a big selection here. All right, who's up first?
Drew
Rick got Steve up first.
Matt Jones
Steve. Go ahead, Steve. Yeah, I listened last night to Matt Jones. They're talking about high school football and the playoff system that you guys got going in Kentucky. Well, I'm from Michigan and I moved down here to Indiana. I'm a truck driver, so that's how I get to listen to you so much. But anyway, they. In Michigan, they've got it broke down into 8G classes. And it goes by the number of students and, you know, so break it down evenly. I mean, one year you may be in class five, and next year you may be in four. Just depends where your student body falls in. And, you know, I tell you, Michigan has their high school playoff system down pat. I mean, you don't have very many complaints about the way. We don't want that. We don't want that. We're unique in Kentucky on this. We are like the last state in the country that throws everybody together. And we like that. And, you know, one point I want to make. One point I want to make. Is that about the Michigan system? Is if you play like, let's Say if you're a five and you play up to a four, and if that team is. Hasn't won a game, you don't get no points for that. That does you no good. I understand and I appreciate the call. I like the Michigan. That's nice. But here we. We. We like. I like the fact that in everything but football, we put everybody together. Yes, the big schools are going to win more, but we don't, in College, have multiple NCAA tournaments in Division 1. Now you could say, well, they have a Division 1, 2, and 3, but that's mostly about whether or not you give scholarships. It really has nothing to do with the thing. I like that. Yes. Trinity won baseball this year. Those kind of schools will win more often than not, but sometimes there are other schools that win, and that's exciting.
Unknown Speaker
We just had Lyon county versus Harlan and county in basketball. Two years.
Matt Jones
Exactly right. With two, it was two years ago.
Drew
I'm okay if they had the classes in football, but for basketball and baseball. Baseball, keep it the way it's all. You know, you get those little schools, give them a chance to make it a bigger run.
Matt Jones
And football, the teams are so big, I think you have to do it. Basketball, you need to find. Find five kids in your school.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Honestly, five kids in your school and in any school, in theory, can do that.
Unknown Speaker
I like the way that it is, too. I agree with you. And I didn't think that our first call would be about Michigan high school football.
Matt Jones
Yeah. I mean, details about how the system works. I didn't. I didn't. But you never know. You never know what you're going to get here at the Glen Eye Center. Who's next? Adam is next. Adam, Go ahead, Adam.
Unknown Speaker
What's going on, Matt? Eric Crawford has a report this morning.
Matt Jones
I need your thoughts.
Unknown Speaker
Louisville gonna name a road after Tom Jurich.
Matt Jones
Unbelievable. Yeah. I mean, I got to be careful because this is my man Craig Greensberg's decision. I appreciate the call. You know, I mean, look, I saw. So they're. They're. They're bringing Tom Jurich back and having, like, Tom Jurich Day or something, Having a parade. They're not. Okay. I mean, did he do amazing things at Louisville? Yes. Did he oversee the destruction of the entire athletics department and in some ways, the ac. The economic structure of the university. Yes. So, I mean, it's their road. They can do what they want with it. I'm, you know, I'm. I'm surprised because a lot of the people, like, they all know what Tom did is it just not matter anymore. No.
Unknown Speaker
They're gonna put the banner back up soon.
Matt Jones
Yeah, that actually bothers me less than honoring Tom Church in some ways, but I get it. He was very successful. But, you know, if it was. If he was wrong enough to fire him and get ready, get rid of him, and they just waited till the statute of limitations was out on all his claims, and now they're gaming a road after.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. Not surprised, though.
Matt Jones
Will you.
Unknown Speaker
Will you be able to listen to KSR on that road? Will Tom have rights to people's radios over there?
Matt Jones
Well, so I'm not outraged by it, but I am a little surprised, Ryan, when you consider. I mean, just think of all the scandals of the. I mean, I could sit here and list for you 10 scandals, one of which would have been outrageous at any University, and 10 of which occurred in, like, four years at Louisville.
Unknown Speaker
What if about on the light polls down Drew Rich way, they have a little banner for each scandal. Like sometimes towns, like, they're proud of people, graduates, they could put a little.
Matt Jones
Scandal banner on prostitutes for recruits. Like, that's one. This. People just skip over that one as if it's. If it's. If it's nothing.
Drew
Maybe the road they're going to name him is a. A back alley off a side street. Kind of be appropriate.
Matt Jones
Oh, it's on campus, I think. I think they're putting it like campus. I think they're putting it like, right in the middle of the game.
Unknown Speaker
What was the only place that would fire somebody, then give them a road named after them?
Matt Jones
What was the only place where they would fire you?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, go.
Matt Jones
I have to fire you because you are outrageous and ruining the reputation of the university. But by the way, we're also going to name a road after you that will last in perpetuity.
Unknown Speaker
I can't wait for Billy Gillespie Street, Joker Phillips Road.
Drew
We had How Mummy Pass for a little bit. Yeah, they took it down.
Matt Jones
That's a perfect example. We had How Mummy Pass. What did he do? Claude Bassett gave people a hundred dollars to go get fish. I mean, like, when we took the road down.
Drew
Took it down.
Matt Jones
Who's next?
Drew
Brandy is next.
Matt Jones
I don't know if it was fish or not.
Unknown Speaker
I just feel like it sounded good.
Drew
For a better story.
Matt Jones
Go ahead, Brandy. I'm a say Matt Jones Boulevard. We need a Matt Jones Boulevard. I have a sign. I think that's plenty. I got a sign that was all. That was all I needed in Middlesboro, but go ahead.
Unknown Speaker
Now I got a couple, three things.
Matt Jones
I hadn't Called in a while, but I heard the Vince Marrow thing with the piano music yesterday, and that's just sad. And I was always taught, you know, actions, not words. So I think you. Actions, not his words. And, yes, also, you were talking yesterday about people that don't get caught for the crimes that they do. You need to watch the Mortician on Max. Okay, so I've heard about this. I haven't watched it. Have it.
Unknown Speaker
Have any of you watched a little bit of it?
Matt Jones
There's. Apparently. It's called the Mortician. Appreciate the call. It's on. It's on, Max. I believe it's about a Los Angeles funeral home where bad things occurred, but apparently there's a twist ending that is supposed to be one of the best twist endings of all time. You may remember that show the Jinx. Was that or not the jinx is that it was in the jinx, and it had, like, a crazy ending, which I won't. I mean, it's been 15 years situation. Yeah. Where he basically was like, I did it. Right.
Unknown Speaker
He forgot. He didn't know he has a mic on.
Matt Jones
He had his mic on. Didn't realize, by the way, I did it. Oh, wait, is this on the record? This is supposed to have the best twist ending, Ryan, since the. The Jinx. It's called the Mortician. I think it just came out on Max. I have not seen it, but I've. I've heard it. Is that seems like your kind of thing?
Unknown Speaker
Oh, yeah. I would definitely watch that, but I feel like we could look up what the twist is. I mean, I feel like it would play out in the news, right? It's a real story, right?
Matt Jones
Yeah, but why would you want to know?
Unknown Speaker
You could do that about anything.
Matt Jones
I mean, you could do. Yeah. You could ask those glasses over there what the twist is. The point is, I mean, do you just not want to go?
Unknown Speaker
I feel like, you know, you can.
Matt Jones
Watch a movie comes out. Shannon just Googles. How does it end? Well, I don't need to go.
Unknown Speaker
If you know how it plays out. Like the. There's a.
Matt Jones
Did you watch Titanic?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Then you knew the ending.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, but I wanted to see how it played out. I wanted to see everybody think.
Matt Jones
He'S.
Unknown Speaker
A big Kate Winslet.
Yeah, I am a big Kate Winslet guy. I do love her.
Matt Jones
What was the. The comedian had that really good bit about he doesn't know anything about history. And he watched Tyler Hero. That was not the one. No. He watched Pearl harbor, and he was like, I was as Shocked as anybody. Wednesday is the new Friday at UK Federal Credit Union. With early pay, you can get your payday up to two days early.

Matt Jones
I wanted to ask you Shannon, about your vanity guys.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Did you see your guy Diego Pavia?
Unknown Speaker
No, what's he doing?
Matt Jones
Diego Pavia said starting this year Vandy would quote, run the state of Tennessee from now on.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, I love it. I love that cockiness. Screw Tennessee. Yeah, I hope he does. I hope he does.
Matt Jones
I mean you don't think that's a little poking the bear? Maybe he's on his way out.
Unknown Speaker
What does he care? Right?
Matt Jones
Well he's playing this year, right?
Unknown Speaker
I know, but he's not going to be around for next year if they end up, you know, getting their butt kicked by Tennessee. But I love that.
Matt Jones
Yeah. Do you like that?
Unknown Speaker
I love it.
They just beat Alabama last year. Why not?
Matt Jones
But they didn't beat Tennessee.
Unknown Speaker
Well, they're going to beat them this year.
Couldn't even keep their quarterback. He's allowed to talk. He's the best quarterback in Tennessee including the Titans right now.
That's probably true.
Drew
That's probably very true.
Matt Jones
You think saying that they're going to run the state of Tennessee from now on is a good idea?
Drew
See, I don't know if it's a great idea but I love it. I love the guy. Got that kind of confidence. He, I know he tore us up but I kind of like watching him play, man. He did great things for Vandy last year.
Matt Jones
I think we will. I mean it's hard to imagine even a semi successful Kentucky season this year without beating them. Do you think that. Are we going to beat them? We beat him two years ago at their place. We've lost the last two at home.
Unknown Speaker
I don't love having to see him again. That is a game. I don't think you can have a good season unless you just really pull off a big upset. Unless you win those swing games like Vandy.
Matt Jones
Yeah, but I don't think like if.
Unknown Speaker
You lose the Vandy, it's hard unless you knock off Texas or something crazy. But, but you got to win that Vandy game to have any kind of, any kind of season that could get you into a bowl game which a lot of fans need.
Matt Jones
I mean I, I would go as far as to say if you lose to Vanderbilt, Mark Stoops won't be the coach the next year.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, you think it comes down to his entire career?
Matt Jones
It's because of what I'm, it's because of what Drew said though.
Unknown Speaker
What if they.
Matt Jones
Are you going to have a good year? Well, if you lose to Vandy and beat Texas, but you still only have four wins. I mean, that was just what we did last year. Yes, we beat Ole Miss and didn't beat anybody else. We had four wins. So I don't think even beating a Texas is enough. If you lose to a Vandy and I don't see a way you can get to six wins and lose to Vandy, what is the scenario where you win three SEC games and don't beat Vandy?
Unknown Speaker
It stinks.
Matt Jones
That one's in your dreams.
Drew
Probably the only way that's possible.
Matt Jones
It's not going to happen.
Drew
The thing about Vandy, if they beat Kentucky again, that's three of the last four years they've surpassed you as a football program in the sec. That's unacceptable.
Matt Jones
Let's be more clear. If Vandy beats you this year, you are either the worst or next to worst team in the. It's either you or Mississippi State.
Drew
Yep.
Matt Jones
And. And that is pathetic.
Drew
Which a second. We kind of clawed our way to get in that middle.
Matt Jones
We were in a tier of seventh, eighth, top middle. We were in a. There were a couple years we were arguing, hey, we're knocking. I mean, there was a moment where we had passed Vandy, we had passed Mississippi State, we had passed Missouri, we passed Arkansas, South Carolina, past South Carolina, and we were sitting there going, hey, Tennessee, Florida, I think we're as good or better than you. And then the next step was your Georgia's, etc. And now we're like, well, we might be Vandy and Diego Pavi is out there talking trash. And he's not even talking trash to Kentucky, Drew. He's talking trash to Tennessee.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, he's looking over the top of us looking to Tennessee.
Matt Jones
He assumes if there was a Vandy.
Unknown Speaker
Sports radio, which there might be, I don't know.
Matt Jones
I think there's a Vandy Science radio, but I don't think there's a Vandy sports radio. They would look at the schedule and go, well, we got conduct. Sure. Right. Wouldn't they do that?
Unknown Speaker
Oh, yeah. And so much of stoop success when it was at its best is routinely beating South Carolina, Missouri and Mandy. And all three of those programs have gone up another level while Kentucky's gone backwards. That that anonymous poll with coaches just a few weeks ago where it said Kentucky can't even keep up with Vanderbilt right now in this new era. I mean, just seeing that print said enough about Kentucky football right now that other coaches are.
Matt Jones
Coach said that.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, that was. They did that. You know, the usual summer poll with anonymous coaches they said Kentucky is a step behind Vandy and South Carolina right.
Now in the new era that's very concerning.
Matt Jones
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
Like in the big picture losing three out of four to Vandy would be bad.
Matt Jones
Look, you just depressed me because I, there's not, that's, there's nothing wrong with that. That's 100% correct.
Unknown Speaker
But that shouldn't happen.
Matt Jones
No, that's partly why I will not listen to. I've had people involved with UK football privately say to me something like this, right, well how do people expect us with a 5 to 7 million dollar nil to compete with the $20 million teams? And the reason that argument falls on deaf ears to me is you lost to Vandy. I mean if your only losses were to Georgia, Texas and Alabama I would hear that argument. But you lost a Van. And there's no human world where Vandy spent more on nil than we did, is there?
Drew
No. You lost a Vandy on your home field the last two times they've been.
Unknown Speaker
There and then asked for money the Monday after.
Matt Jones
Yeah, well I think let's not forget about that. That was Missouri. They had lost to Missouri.
Unknown Speaker
That was Vanderbilt.
Matt Jones
Was it?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Matt Jones
They launched the, the pony up was after Missouri.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. But the collective thing was collective. It was two days after losing to Vanderbilt.
Matt Jones
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker
Even Missouri shouldn't be that far ahead of you. And they've been in the playoff conversation last year they were disappointed not making the playoff last year.
Matt Jones
I, you can't say to me, I mean I don't know how you convince donors to give $20 million if you don't be Vanderbilt.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Would you?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. No, no, no.
Matt Jones
I mean that's part of the thing of this. Now this may change a little bit in the rev share but in the nil era I said for a long time this is a business and businesses when things aren't going well it's hard to get your stock price up and to get investors in and that's what these sports programs are going to be. You have to perform.
Drew
Yeah. The last time we beat him I think Ray Davis had like three or four touchdowns. A Vandy guy. So somebody's not. Who, who's our Ray Davis? We have a Ray Davis this year.
Unknown Speaker
He beat Vandy with a. Beat Vandy with their own guy.
You guys credit. They went out and stole him.
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Yeah. So that do I do understand why, why Diego Pavia would say that. I don't know if it's the smartest thing in the world.
Unknown Speaker
Was he asked about that or did no One ask. And he just said it. I think there's a difference.
Matt Jones
You know, just called up. We're about to run Tennessee.
Unknown Speaker
I.
He doesn't like the confidence.
Matt Jones
Yeah. One person wrote in and said, matt, I heard Ryan talking about the scam yesterday. I'm glad he said it. He is going to end up saving lots of elderly citizens from losing their money. He should take pride in that.
Drew
Well, I hope so, because it was very convincing. I can see how maybe an older person would fall hook, line and sinker for that and offer up their credit card information over the phone.
Matt Jones
So.
Drew
But maybe. Maybe by getting it out there, it'll keep somebody from doing that.
Matt Jones
Apparently, there is a warning that has been put out by the Lexington police in the last few weeks about your exact scale.
Drew
I'm telling you, I was convinced for about 10 minutes.
Matt Jones
Did you not see the warning?
Drew
No. No.
Matt Jones
What lessons have we learned from that?
Drew
Don't answer a private number.
Matt Jones
Okay. That's a really good start. Yeah, but we told you this four to five.
Unknown Speaker
You used to brag about having conversations with the scammers.
Drew
Oh, I do. I still do that.
Matt Jones
Are we gonna stop that? Since clearly they're outsmarting you sometimes?
Drew
They did outsmart me. This time you're gonna go.
Matt Jones
Next time. It's not a contest with love. You're gonna lose. They're better at this than you are.
Drew
Very good at it. They had me convinced.
Matt Jones
So we're gonna stop.
Drew
I was ready to drive down to the third street.
Matt Jones
You're gonna stop answering the private calls.
Drew
Well, what if it's Dante?
Matt Jones
Can you tell Dante to leave a message or text you?
Drew
I bet he would leave a message.
Matt Jones
Okay.
Unknown Speaker
There you go.
Matt Jones
So we're gonna stop the. We can't keep losing money because of Dante.
Drew
Yes.
Matt Jones
Right.
Unknown Speaker
Because it could be Dante on the phone.
Matt Jones
Yeah. You can't keep giving away your credit card because this could be Dante.
Unknown Speaker
Somebody calls up to be Dante. I need your.
