Nmlsconsumeraccess.Org welcome to hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

[Drew Franklin]

Welcome back our number two Kenny Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. Couple open lines. You can give us a shout after the contest. The text machine is 772-7745254. The week kind of a slow week, but the draft is tomorrow. Kentucky guys hopefully will be will be picked. Reed shepherd probably looks like he'll stay in Houston after the Durant deal. He wasn't part of it. I thought there was a chance if they made a big deal he could get shipped off in it. So now Reed Shepherd's gonna play with Kevin Durant. That's kind of exciting.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, it should get a big step up in minutes too. I mean they traded away two guards in that backcourt. So I'd say Reed's gonna be a big piece coming off the bench. Maybe one day starting point guard.

[Drew Franklin]

You could end up with a with Reeds like Case and Wallace playing on a really good team, playing fifth sixth man minutes here, even next year depending on how good they are.

[Shannon The Dude]

Reed's already done a hundred things no one expected, but I mean we're two years removed from him just transitioning from North Laurel to uk and now you're telling me, I mean he could be in the finals next year passing to Kevin Durant.

[Drew Franklin]

I mean he literally was playing against Barberville in the two and a half years ago and now he's going to be like, hey Durant, KD get open.

[Shannon The Dude]

I got you and they're the second or third ish favorite to win it next year behind the Thunder. I mean they'll be a contender. Just nuts that it's going to be Reed shepherd and Kevin Durant.

[Drew Franklin]

You'll like this. The Matt Jones Show. This week we have two different episodes. Would you like to hear the two guests?

[Shannon The Dude]

Please.

[Drew Franklin]

One guest is going to be an expert on the Iran Israel conflict.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

And the other guest is Aaron Flaner.

[Shannon The Dude]

That's not the same guest.

[Drew Franklin]

No. Aaron Fleener, the caddy from a JT post. That's our friend. He's going to talk about what it's life is like as a caddy on the PGA Tour.

[Shannon The Dude]

Sure.

[Drew Franklin]

I can see the trails are two there. We're not putting them on together. I don't think they would. I don't think they would have the same. The same thing going.

[Matt Jones]

I'd be interested to hear Aaron Fleeners thoughts on the war.

[Drew Franklin]

All right, so let's. I had somebody asked me about this yesterday and I do think it's important to remember sometimes we talk about a subject and the average person listening might not even know what we're talking about. And we were talking about the whole quote unquote motivated Mark Stoops thing.

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Drew Franklin]

And there were people who wrote me and said, I have no idea what you're talking about. Because we have to remember that I say this all the time. Only like 10% of our fan base is on Twitter. I mean, think about how many people are listening to this that are not on Twitter. It's a massive amount of people. And then there's a ton of our fan base that's like only on Facebook. Something I don't even get on really. And all you got to do is look at the comment sections and things to see those. And then there's a whole ton of the fan base that's only on TikTok. Right. And won't see it. They're the ones that know Mario better than they know a lot of the rest of us.

[Matt Jones]

Yep.

[Drew Franklin]

So everybody's different. So I. So just quickly the explanation and then this is, you know, goes to the question of what they should do. We all agree that right now UK Football has almost nothing to market. Would we agree?

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Drew Franklin]

Let's say you were in charge of marketing for UK Football and they said market this season and get everybody going. What would you pick?

[Matt Jones]

I've probably prop caused up there our.

[Drew Franklin]

Quarterback and how many what percent of our fans know what he looks like.

[Matt Jones]

That's why. That's why I would do it. I would prop him up and make him the face of the program.

[Drew Franklin]

Calzada do your fan. Do you think our fans would even know what that means?

[Matt Jones]

That's why I think the marketing program needs to be get that out there.

[Drew Franklin]

So what would you say about him? He's old.

[Matt Jones]

On the new face of the. Of the UK football program there. Here's our guy right here.

[Drew Franklin]

That's not a great slow.

[Matt Jones]

No, but I wouldn't start with it.

[Drew Franklin]

What about you, Shannon? What would you market UK football?

[Ryan Lemon]

Come see us or don't.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon. The dude will play Dairy Queen for me.

[Drew Franklin]

If you don't come see us or don't. What would you do?

[Shannon The Dude]

Well, this is their problem. I've mentioned this several times. They don't have anything to really say. Well look at this. Get excited about this.

[Drew Franklin]

They don't have players we know.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah. I would say concession stands closed. We have our act together. We are no longer going to eat during games. Our bad apples are gone. Look at this culture.

[Drew Franklin]

Culture. Look at this brand new locker room culture.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Well we clean questions before we get.

[Shannon The Dude]

We let the dog.

[Drew Franklin]

Let me give you just dead Serious Text Machine. 772-774-5254. I know UK people listen to show every day. I'm a big believer in collective intelligence is better than individual intelligence usually. Give me a suggestion. Serious suggestion. If you. For those of you. Because I'll read a few of them and UK will hear it. 772-774-5254 in the text machine. What would you market Because I don't know the answer. The coach is not popular. We're coming off a terrible season. The culture was bad and we have no players that anyone knows. Other than that I don't know what you. But other than that how was the. How was the play? Ms. Lincoln?

[Matt Jones]

You're right. You know, in years past we kind of in this situation. Will Levis ate a banana with a peel on it. He kind of just gave it to us.

[Drew Franklin]

But Will Levis was a naturally charismatic guy who also was like highly touted.

[Matt Jones]

Maybe Calzada is that guy too. We just don't know. We don't know. I don't know anything about him.

[Drew Franklin]

Do you think he's.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know.

[Drew Franklin]

But he's not highly touted.

[Matt Jones]

He was out of high school.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. And that was the 70s.

[Shannon The Dude]

Even though it's a good program and it produced the number one pick like him coming from incarnate words hard to.

[Drew Franklin]

Put on the word.

[Shannon The Dude]

It's hard To.

[Drew Franklin]

It's hard to market this from incarnate word to. That's. That's a tough move.

[Shannon The Dude]

So I think we say we got rid of our dog. That's the new slogan. We let the dog out. You just throw vents under the bus.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, that's interesting. We let the dog out. So market it around.

[Shannon The Dude]

We lost our dog.

[Drew Franklin]

No, we lost our dog. Sounds bad. We let the dog put our dog down. We put our dog down.

[Matt Jones]

So.

[Drew Franklin]

So the point of all that is to say with so little to grasp onto. There have been a group of fans on the Internet who really don't like Mark Stoops. I think it all really goes back to the whole basketball school, football school comment. They kind of sat it, sided with Cal and they blamed him. Right. And by the way, there are people in the football program who sided with Stoops and hated Cal. But Stoops has not had success since that happened. So they don't like him. So they started this. Every time he does something or says something or is seen out, they would just go, oh, he's motivated. But it's like a sarcastic thing. He's motivated. And it became like, anytime you want to criticize him, motivated, Mark Stoops. And my reaction to that is, well, you can't tell people, hey, don't make fun of our coach. Like, that's not going to work. Right. So the easiest way is for them to embrace it and just make it to where this thing that's used to criticize him. They say, this is what we are. I'm open to a better idea, but I don't have one.

[Matt Jones]

They need to do something because the silence from UK football and the media people has been deafening over there at.

[Drew Franklin]

UK and that picture, which I think a guy named Shannon Flim Flam made.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, Flim Flam.

[Drew Franklin]

Flim Flam, I think is as good as any.

[Ryan Lemon]

Hey. Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

So it might. Is that a terrible idea?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, but there's nothing better. It is a terrible idea. But what's better?

[Drew Franklin]

You think it is a terrible idea. Yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

I mean, do you want to embrace your coaches love for alcohol?

[Drew Franklin]

No, no, no, I'm not. You can take the alcohol and the cigarette out of his mouth. I'm just saying to you, the idea of using. I'm not saying you just have to go around smoke. I don't even think he smokes cigarettes. All right. You know, you don't have him out there just pounding cigs. I'm saying like. But the idea of that being we're gonna take this thing we know you're giving us a hard time about, and we're gonna try to make it fun. I think that's better than anything else because they're not gonna stop making fun of him. So. You know, it's like when people kept. When I was in college at Trancy, the other fraternities occasionally would say we were dorks, so we just started wearing shirts that said dorks and beating them in sports. It took away their thing, right? Yeah, it took it away. You call me a stupid liberal. Well, I'll just say I'm a stupid liberal and I take that away from you. Why wouldn't you do that for. For this?

[Shannon The Dude]

I'm all for it. I think they should completely lean into it. I mean, yesterday, did you see they tweeted motivation Monday?

[Drew Franklin]

So do you think that was for this?

[Shannon The Dude]

I don't think that was intentional. I hope it was. Do you think Stoops was looking pretty slim in that photo?

[Drew Franklin]

So, okay, I wanted to bring that.

[Shannon The Dude]

Up if I may compliment the football coach.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm going to give you something that years ago, I had someone at UK say to me, talking about Cal and Stoops, they used to say that they would judge how good Cow and Stoops were going to do by based on how thin they were, that their weight would fluctuate based on where their state of mind was. And if you go back and look, there's some correlation to that. Stoops looks as thin as he's looked in a long time. Did you see the picture of Cow at the Oklahoma City Thunder game?

[Shannon The Dude]

Looks waggy.

[Drew Franklin]

Did you see that? Slim down, a lot of weight, had.

[Shannon The Dude]

A stylish shirt on.

[Drew Franklin]

Maybe Arkansas is going to be better than we thought, too. But Stoops is like that, too. Stoops. This is the trimmest Stoops has been in a while. You know why I'm grasping for things here, Shannon. I know that, but I'm looking for something. Right.

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, maybe, you know, the years passed when they were bad. He was stress eating. I don't know.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, in your life, when you've put on weight, are you in a good place? Usually.

[Ryan Lemon]

Not usually.

[Drew Franklin]

Not usually. It's usually because you're going through stress, you're eating badly, you're not exercising. I can look at through. I can go through my pictures in my life, and I can see the weight flow, and it usually corresponds to what kind of mood I was in at the time.

[Shannon The Dude]

You're talking to me into Kentucky football in 2025.

[Drew Franklin]

Right. So I'm Saying you got thinner motivated.

[Shannon The Dude]

Stoops, you're in the building more. You're by the treadmill.

[Drew Franklin]

The way the nutrition you got Calzada not quite time to collect AARP and so he's still able to to get it going.

[Ryan Lemon]

We're going to crush Toledo so bad.

[Shannon The Dude]

Oh yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

I mean get out of the way Toledo.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm trying. Embry. Go ahead, Embry. First time, long time. Who are first time long term. Thank you. Then I always appreciate when you guys do.

[Caller]

You're the legislator.

[Drew Franklin]

And so what do you think about the bill? Yes, I actually have that on my plate for 11:30, but go ahead. Is it Senate Bill 181? I don't know what. I don't know the numbers, so I'm not sure. Okay. Well, it's the Kentucky Senate bill that. That is establishing a traceable communication electronic communication between students. And that is on my list.

[Matt Jones]

Nice.

[Drew Franklin]

If you will. Hang on. That is on my list. I appreciate the call. I have three. If you were the legislator, what would you do? And that is on my list. I will do that at 11:30. What? Why are you just staring off into space? I'm looking at you waiting for a response.

[Matt Jones]

I thought she was getting ready to respond. You didn't get to appreciate her call. I thought she was getting ready to say something.

[Drew Franklin]

I did appreciate her call. Swag Sandwich. Go ahead. That's really a name. Swag Sandwich. Hey man, I'm gonna assume you're doing good and not ask. Thank you. I got a question on the Rev split and the chicken man.

[Matt Jones (Shooting Instructor)]

How do you think that's going to.

[Drew Franklin]

Affect Caliper in Arkansas? And do you think that they will get a more higher percentage for their basketball team than we will? No, no. They. They. Their percentage will be less for basketball than ours because they Arkansas fans desperately want to be good at football and they desperately want to be good at baseball. So I would actually argue that basketball, for most Arkansas fans, basketball is definitely second and for some of them it would be third. Was it like that? They're like big thing like how's gonna get all this money and now it's the red splits kind of. Well, I mean they'll sit them in the. You know what? Like I think he'll still be able to get like Tyson will probably sign these people to nil deals. But if they enforce the thing where the deals have to be real, then they'll still have to be real. One of the things we don't know and I appreciate the call is whether or not this Whole rule that comes into place that deals you give outside of the rev share in il deals have to be real deals. They have to be market value. If they enforce that, it changes everything. Now are they going to enforce it, Drew? I don't know. They say they are, but I want to see it first.

[Shannon The Dude]

How do they. How can they really tell what's a real deal?

[Drew Franklin]

I don't know.

[Shannon The Dude]

Because like. And also, what just stops people from buying the heck out of T shirts? Like someone really rich. Maybe they even go by the nil rules and still overpay for a product or whatever they're selling.

[Drew Franklin]

The theory of making laws. You're always every law. You can't not make a law by saying somebody's going to break this. Because people will try to get around every law. The question is, is it the best law you can make as a base? Whatever they do, people are going to try to get around it. I just want to see do they try to enforce it even at its most basic level? Right. And we'll have to see. They say they will. I think schools have an incentive to do it because they want to stop paying all this money. But we'll see if they do.

[Matt Jones]

I think it's gonna be hard to police because obviously doing a deal in Lexington or Fayetteville is a little different than if you're in Chicago.

[Drew Franklin]

At least hire a private company that is responding to shareholders to do it. So it's not just a couple people. It is a business that does give me some encouragement. Right. They're paying this company to do it. The company is beholden to their shareholders. I think they're gonna have to try to do it now, whether it works.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Who knows? Summer weather has arrived. Shady. Excuse me. Cornbread Hemp is offering a free four pack of. Free four pack of four seltzers. That's true. Four pack of four seltzers with every order over $75. They just sent me some the other day. You can use the code Summer Sips. Summer Sips. If you get. If you get your regular gummies or oils, use Summer Sips and you can get a free four pack of seltzers to try them. It's pretty good, isn't it?

[Matt Jones]

Some of them are really good Summer sips.

[Drew Franklin]

So use. That's a Cornbread Hemp between me and you, tough slogan.

[Shannon The Dude]

Summer Sips.

[Drew Franklin]

Summer sips. Use cornbread hemp.com summer simps for a free four pack of seltzers with any order over 75 or more. It's Cornbread Hemp we'll be right back.

[Matt Jones]

He sent you a message.

[Drew Franklin]

He sent me a message.

[Matt Jones]

What did he say?

[Drew Franklin]

He said, this is the other Matt Jones of Lexington. Just all respect to coach Pope in the program. As a person who teaches shooting for a living, I just have a difference in opinion when. When it comes to shooting. Fair enough. It's not exactly what he said on Instagram. You would think, see that? That's the difference between real life people and then what they are on social media in real life. He goes, all respect to coach Pope. I just disagree with him about shooting online. He goes, this is what's wrong with college coaches. It's a different thing. And I'm sure Matt Jones shooting hoops is great, but like, you know, that's different than what you would say if he was standing there.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, you would think a young guy starting a business about hoops basketball shooting training. You want to get on board with the head coach of the university in your city. Think you're going to want to kind of go hand in hand with them, not fight the guy?

[Drew Franklin]

All right, let's go. Through some of these suggestions on what UK football can do to market Shannon. Let's see if you like these. All right.

[Shannon The Dude]

Be fun.

[Drew Franklin]

Number one, market our opponents. Come to. Come to Kroger Field, and you can see really good teams play.

[Ryan Lemon]

So it's not even about our own team. It's about everybody else.

[Drew Franklin]

No.

[Ryan Lemon]

If that's a good idea. Like that one.

[Drew Franklin]

No.

[Shannon The Dude]

Sadly, that popped in my head when you asked me for ideas.

[Drew Franklin]

Right. One person says, we're just getting started again, bro.

[Shannon The Dude]

We're just restarting.

[Matt Jones]

Restarting, bro.

[Shannon The Dude]

We're just getting restarted.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay, I like that.

[Matt Jones]

I like that one.

[Drew Franklin]

One person says, Matt, Brad White has been fired up on Twitter. He's actually really gotten me into it. Maybe they should give him more of a voice. Might be a good idea. I've always liked Brad White. Maybe make him more of a. Of a thing.

[Matt Jones]

And I think that's the strength of the team this year, the defense. So maybe they should lean into that a little bit.

[Drew Franklin]

One person says, Matt, they've gotten totally away from a lot of the fan outreach they did early. Haven't had a women's clinic in six years. They need to have ways for fans to meet the players and do more things to get us to care one way or the other. Totally agree with that. They got lazy on all of that stuff when the women's clinic used to be a big thing. Even when we stunk, women really, like, they got to go. There was always this fun stuff. They've just completely gotten away from that. Covid gave everybody an excuse to do all this. Stop doing all this stuff they didn't want to do. They need to go back to it.

[Shannon The Dude]

Women's clinic. What about a spring game? They used to fill that stadium or, you know, at least have a decent turnout for a spring game. This thing last year is almost like they didn't want anybody there.

[Drew Franklin]

Spring game started, bro.

[Matt Jones]

Fan day, women's clinic, all these things, and this is if they're going to do it. This is the year where they need to do it to get the fan base back on board.

[Drew Franklin]

Shannon, what about this is a slogan. Kentucky football, Embrace the mystery.

[Ryan Lemon]

Who the hell knows what's going to happen out there? It's a mystery. We don't even know.

[Drew Franklin]

It's going to be a complete mystery. Anything could happen.

[Ryan Lemon]

I like that one.

[Matt Jones]

We all want this program to succeed, but when we see what's coming in next year and the schedule they've got, it's just. It's one of the toughest seasons we've had since we've started doing this show.

[Drew Franklin]

Listen, we'll be into it leading into the Toledo game. If we win, we'll be into it leading in the Ole Miss game. But remember. But remember, preseason games start early this year and they're against good teams in basketball. And most of our home games are in the first six weeks of the season. We only have one. Think about this. We only have one home game in November.

[Matt Jones]

I didn't realize that one.

[Drew Franklin]

If this team isn't good, this fan base will check out in October. They'll just check out. They will. John, wait a minute. Is that. He's on there?

[Ryan Lemon]

He is.

[Drew Franklin]

All right, well, let me take Jonathan and then I'll go to him. Jonathan, I got about a minute. Okay. If you guys have time, I'd like to hear you talk about maybe drafting an all UK team in the NBA.

[Caller]

Like us current players and talk about.

[Drew Franklin]

How good they are or how.

[Caller]

How far you think they could go in the playoffs.

[Drew Franklin]

And we'll do that. I will do it right now, but I appreciate the call. We can do that at some point. Remember, tomorrow is unpopular opinion.

[Matt Jones]

Yes, it is.

[Drew Franklin]

Don't forget unpopular. All right. Matt Jones, the shooting instructor, is on the phone.

[Matt Jones]

Is he really?

[Drew Franklin]

Okay? Matt Jones, the shooting instructor. How are you, sir? First of all, great name.

[Matt Jones (Shooting Instructor)]

It's a wonderful name. It's a tough one here in Lexington. Sometimes trying to differentiate a little bit.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. Does that annoy you? I do. People like ask, does that annoy you to have the same name? I would understand if it did.

[Matt Jones (Shooting Instructor)]

I mean, we have the most common name on earth. I think so. I don't think we, either of us could be probably too mad about it.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay. Well, what. So what you put that comment on Pope's thing, looking back, did it express what you wanted to express?

[Matt Jones (Shooting Instructor)]

Yes, it did. I'm just saying in general, it could be any college coach because I've had these discussions with others where to me, I just think it's a little. It's off to me where, you know, you'll spend a million dollars to get a role player who's 8th man on the roster. But programs won't invest 80 or 100k to pay a shooting coach to help develop shooting. You know, everyone's trying to recruit shooting all over the place and will pay dumb money to go get a shooter. What's like, why do. Why is developing shooting not also a piece of this? Because.

[Drew Franklin]

But I think his point was. I think his point was I have a choice between a number of players I met Kentucky. I want to get guys who have good mechanics and then teach them other things rather than teach them mechanics. What's wrong? Why would that be a bad opinion?

[Matt Jones (Shooting Instructor)]

I don't think that's a terrible opinion. I just think how many of those guys, when you look at it, you say, oh, he's got a beautiful shot with great mechanics like Vero. You know, if you have five guys on your roster at any place who can really shoot, you're doing well. Or it's like, why, why can't we try to develop two or three more?

[Drew Franklin]

So you stand by your comment that what Pope said is what's wrong with college coaches?

[Matt Jones (Shooting Instructor)]

Yeah, I stand by it. I stand by it. I just think when you see the money that's being thrown around, it's like, you know, you'll pay crazy money. Why not spend a little, just a little bit of money and bring someone in. Focus on that.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, I, I appreciate it. You and Rambo, major point. Thank you for calling. We'll take a break. Be right back. Ksr, TJ Smith, personal injury attorney. Call tj. He'll make him pay.

[Ryan Lemon]

Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

[Drew Franklin]

Welcome back, Techie Sports Radio. I was just sitting there talking with the guys about my new, you know, giving the sneakers away on the. I leave them around Lexington, Louisville, like on the sides of the road.

[Matt Jones]

That's kind of cool. You got a one in, one out policy right now.

[Drew Franklin]

One in one. If I get a new pair of shoes, one of them's got to go out. I'm out of space. I have no more space. So there's a one in one out policy. So when new ones come in, one of them's got to go.

[Matt Jones]

How do you decide which one to get rid of?

[Drew Franklin]

The one I like the least. You know, I mean, I have, I have a lot. I probably have like 250. So what are you laughing at?

[Shannon The Dude]

It's 500 shoes.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, exactly. One of each.

[Shannon The Dude]

A lot of shoes.

[Drew Franklin]

But then one and one comes out. I'll go. Sometimes I'll give it to Goodwill. But, you know, some of them are nice. Like I don't want. Somebody just walks in. Good. So I want them for people who need them. So I've given them away to middles, people in Middlesboro, like the. And then sometimes I leave them on the street and they'll be gone five minutes later because I figure, like somebody will pick them up that needs them.

[Matt Jones]

So there's going to come a day.

[Drew Franklin]

So I got Put some lebrons out the other day. So somebody's walking around but I'll drive them to different parts of town. I want to leave them always in the same place. So I left pair of. I left a pair of LeBron's on Frankfurt Avenue and they were Shannon then just gone.

[Ryan Lemon]

Of course five minutes later they're not going to sit out there all day. You know somebody's going to pick them up.

[Matt Jones]

So you'll be driving your car look over and somebody's be walking down your shoes.

[Drew Franklin]

That would make me very happy actually. Yeah. Yeah that would. That would be nice. A 592-80228 and say all right, let's do our I'm going to give you an issue currently being debated in Kentucky and you're going to tell me what you would do what you would vote if you were in the legislation.

[Matt Jones]

Corn is in session right now. Let's go.

[Drew Franklin]

The first one is what the woman just said. Yeah, they have. They are a bill pass a bill that would say teachers cannot email or text students without doing it through an official system where the school system would be able to see all correspondence between. So they cannot email or text the student. They can only send it through this thing. It's called like parent scope or whatever in order to contact the student. And that also includes for now social media as well meaning no likes on Facebook, no following on Instagram without going through this system to where it could always be reviewed by the school board. Do you like it or do you not like it?

[Matt Jones]

I like it and I hope that it's like I extend it to the evenings and the weekends where maybe kids.

[Drew Franklin]

Needs everything it's for it's until they graduate.

[Matt Jones]

I like it because a lot of times these kids are their home life is not good. Maybe the teacher is the only person they trust and can.

[Drew Franklin]

Now you're making an argument a different way.

[Shannon The Dude]

Got it backwards.

[Drew Franklin]

You got it backwards. This bans it. You can't make any of these things without. Well you can communicate with them but you have to go through this thing called parent scope or whatever that the parents would have access to and the school would have access to as long.

[Matt Jones]

As they have access to it some in some capacity.

[Drew Franklin]

But would you worry about on the parent the parents having act like what if it's what you said like maybe their parents are abusing.

[Matt Jones]

That's it. You know, abuse kids may be hungry.

[Drew Franklin]

So are you for it or against it?

[Matt Jones]

I don't want to ban it. I'm for it.

[Drew Franklin]

Now the other Side would say, though teachers. I think they said 194 teachers have been suspended in the last three years for inappropriate communication with students. 60% of it was like sexually inappropriate in Kentucky. I think that's what the article. That may number. But it was. It was higher than I thought it was a lot.

[Matt Jones]

Really high if it's just Kentucky.

[Drew Franklin]

So what do you think?

[Shannon The Dude]

I support the bill moving to the parent app just for the reason you just said. I feel like I see way too many stories on the Internet, not really just in Kentucky, but everywhere of teachers crossing the line with students.

[Drew Franklin]

Though about like, let's. What if they're saying my parent is doing this? I don't feel like they can say it.

[Shannon The Dude]

I do think you would need another avenue to. For. For that one caveat there of that. They need a way to be able to reach out.

[Drew Franklin]

They should. Teachers should be able to like posts on Facebook and Instagram. No, not even. Like, that's weird, but not even like, hey, I got into trancy. No. Okay. They'll be talking about your communication without going through official things.

[Shannon The Dude]

Sorry. To all the good teachers out there. There's many more good than bad. But there's too many weird bad ones.

[Drew Franklin]

All right, Shannon, what do you vote?

[Ryan Lemon]

I would vote for this parent Scope app. I think that it keeps both sides accountable. You have a way to go back and see all communication outside of. If you have an issue with your parents at home, you could talk to the teacher in person. So I don't think there's any reason. And I. I'm not going to name any names.

[Drew Franklin]

Are you okay? Are you. Go ahead.

[Ryan Lemon]

But I have a friend whose daughter gets Snapchats from her teacher, and that is just that. And this is why I think you need that.

[Drew Franklin]

That's.

[Ryan Lemon]

It's inappropriate.

[Drew Franklin]

Do you. Do you like that the school board has access to all communications? Does that worry you at all, the collection of all that stuff?

[Ryan Lemon]

No, I think, you know, if you're a teacher and you're communicating with a student, it needs to be documented. It needs to be where everybody can see.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm generally on your side. I'm probably. I'd vote for it. I'm. There's a couple parts. I don't know that the liking of a comment on Facebook is necessary because again, we don't. That's actually public that it's done that. But in general, I'm for it. And so we're 3:1. This would pass our legislature. Ryan being the dissenter.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I don't want to ban It. I think too many kids need help sometimes.

[Drew Franklin]

All right. Robo taxis. Austin, Texas just approved it and it may get brought up soon in. In Louisville, in the next couple years, potentially. Then Lexington. Robo taxis, no driver. So instead of Uber in Austin, right now, they're doing for the entire summer, for $4, you can take a Robo taxi anywhere, which of course is try to get you hooked.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, right.

[Drew Franklin]

No driver. Would you. If you were on the Louisville City Council, would you vote yes to Robo taxis?

[Shannon The Dude]

I support Robo taxis. I have not ridden in one, but I've been in the Teslas. Someone's driving and I've seen the car, like it literally knew someone was stepping off the sidewalk.

[Drew Franklin]

We saw one in Phoenix.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, I got one in Austin when we went for the football game and someone was stepping off the sidewalk and. And it showed it on the screen and the car stopped. So. I trust them enough. Hell, they're better than actual drivers.

[Drew Franklin]

You trust them more than people?

[Shannon The Dude]

Most people, yes.

[Drew Franklin]

You don't worry about getting hacked.

[Shannon The Dude]

Drive down Winchester Road and you would.

[Drew Franklin]

Want nothing but robotaxis, let's say. But what about the hacking thing? That's what worries me, is that I agree with you in general. The Robo taxis are probably better drivers than the average person. But what happens if a foreign power hacks all of our cars and wrecks them into each other and you cannot stop it? That's what worries me. Now granted, I don't know if that's like. I don't know the likelihood, I don't know the science, but that does worry me because at least there's a human that stops it. If we don't have that, what happens if we get hacked?

[Shannon The Dude]

Add that to the list of problems that our world will be facing in the years to come.

[Drew Franklin]

Alright, so you're for it. What about you? Right.

[Matt Jones]

I don't think I would do it. But I'm for it. I don't know. I don't know if I'm there yet before.

[Drew Franklin]

But you wouldn't get in it.

[Matt Jones]

I wouldn't get in it. I'd be for it. But I don't think I'm. I'm not there yet. I'm going to step into it and trust.

[Drew Franklin]

So you would take it too, Drew?

[Shannon The Dude]

Oh, yeah. I'm ready for it.

[Drew Franklin]

Shannon, what about you?

[Ryan Lemon]

I know there are Tesla. I know there are terrible human drivers that exist, Ryan Lemon. But I don't know that I'm going to trust a robot. I saw a video a couple of weeks ago of A guy who was late for his flight at an airport because he was stuck in one of these cars. It was in a parking lot and continually just doing a circle and he could not get out of it. And that's the type of thing that I would worry about if I got into one of these robo cars.

[Drew Franklin]

But do you think, okay, so you wouldn't want to get in it, but would you make it legal?

[Ryan Lemon]

No. No, I would not. No. I want. I want human drive.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay, so I'm today a no, but open to one day being a yes. Here's the reason I'm no. If we continue to take jobs from everyone.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, that's another side of it too.

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, now we're not even going to have Uber drivers. Wait until we. This is all a step to no truck drivers, okay? Wait till there's no truck drivers. Think about what a huge part of our economy it will be not to have cross country truck drivers if all the drivers go away. That is a massive part of our economy gone.

[Ryan Lemon]

What are we going to do? Like, when all of our jobs are taken? Like we're just sitting around twiddling our thumbs.

[Drew Franklin]

I don't think America or the world has really contemplated what is going to happen when all of these jobs go away. It'll be easy to go. Joe Biden, Donald Trump. No, this is just, this is humanity. Like 15% of the workforce is just going to disappear. And what are we going to do? Are we just going to all just pay for the people that don't work or are we just going to let them start? Like, I don't know what we're going to do because it's going to happen. Like, it's easy to talk about people who don't work now and go get off her butt and they need to do this. And I'm not even disagreeing with that. But soon there's going to be people who want to be off their butt, who want to be do something, and there will not be enough jobs. They are going to go away and then what? And so this is a step in that direction. So it worries me. I'm not saying I can't ever be for it, but you just take. Just imagine if every truck driver is put out of work. We had a ton of truck drivers listening right now. What if they're all put out of work? Those are good jobs that pay a lot of money and they're just gonna be gone. Do people think about that?

[Matt Jones]

We better.

[Ryan Lemon]

I agree 100% on that.

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, that's almost here.

[Shannon The Dude]

The trucking.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

And if you're a business, and I'm not saying I agree with this, but to not have a driver, I have a truck that can go all night, doesn't need to sleep, probably not gonna.

[Drew Franklin]

Wreck, don't have to pay the salary, don't have to pay health care. I mean, it's. Of course they're all going to do it.

[Shannon The Dude]

That's why it's here.

[Drew Franklin]

Of course they're all going to do it. And so like, we have to make laws. We cannot just turn all this over to technology. To put it a different way, I don't really trust a lot of people in leadership to make laws, but I trust them more than I trust these tech people who just want to save money. True, Right. Because it's gonna be. I mean, this is coming and it's coming soon and we are not ready for it. We are not thinking about these things. Because when all those jobs are gone, what do you do?

[Matt Jones]

All those families, what do you do?

[Drew Franklin]

Like, who's gonna buy this stuff if they don't work to have the money?

[Matt Jones]

That's right.

[Shannon The Dude]

All the factories will be robotic.

[Ryan Lemon]

You have to pay these people a salary to not work. I mean, otherwise.

[Drew Franklin]

They told generations for 30 years the safest job you could go get was to go be a computer programmer. We told kids that forever. Those people are all going out of work. All these people who went and got computer science degrees, except for the top, top ones. They're all going to lose their jobs. They're going to do programmers.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

And we told them that was the safest thing they could do. It's just scary.

[Matt Jones]

You just scared me to death.

[Drew Franklin]

But I'll tell you what will make you bet happier. You don't have to overpay for sunglasses.

What's going on? I just finished meditating out here in my garden, and I just got a couple things to ask you, MJ. Mr. Matt Jones, do you know the biblical meaning of your name, Matthew? I. Well, I know it's biblical, but what's the meaning? Okay. Gift from God. Actually, I did know that. I did know that. Thank you very much, sir. And one more thing would. How I'm out here in my garden barefooted. Like, how can I get some of these Matt Jones shoes? What size are you, sir? I'm 12 and a half. I got something for you. I tell you what, hang on. Give shade in your dress and I'll send you some. Are you serious? Yeah, why not? Yeah. What kind of shoes you are? You're a high top or. Yeah, high top or a low top, Whatever you want to give me. I like low top, but. All right, I'll get you a low top. Next. Low top that I'm going with. Just hang on. Give Shan your address. Okay, I got them on hold.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, sounds like a guy wants some colorful shoes. Big bright pair.

[Drew Franklin]

Like. Actually, I have spongebob.

[Matt Jones]

Perfect.

[Drew Franklin]

I have some right now that I was about to let go that I'm, I already know what I'm going to send him. Go to Danny. Go ahead, Danny.

[Ryan Lemon]

Hang on a minute. Let me get his address. All right, here we go. There you go.

[Drew Franklin]

All right, Danny. Go ahead, Danny.

[Caller]

Hi. I am a teacher here in Kentucky, and I am actually for the bill for a couple of quick reasons. One, documentation. I have had kids email me through my school email about a sensitive situation at home or bullying. And, you know, we have a process in place for that to make sure those kids are taken care of safely. And you need documentation. I don't want.

[Drew Franklin]

Do parents have access? Like, if a kid, if a kid emails you to say, hey, I'm being abused by my parents, does the parent have access to potentially see that email and then punish the kid?

[Caller]

The situation that I'm referring to, they emailed me from their school email. Now, it's my understanding that a parent could get into that account if they wanted to.

[Drew Franklin]

But what about this new system? Will a parent have access to that?

[Caller]

They will, but what I have found is that the parents, usually kids who are involved in those situations, their parents aren't really involved in the school and they're not very well connected, sadly. And I don't, I don't see that as a risk as much as I do a kid trying to reach out to me on Facebook. And I don't check Facebook often enough to know something's going on, you know?

[Drew Franklin]

No, I mean, I understand what you're saying. I'd be worried, though, that a kid would say, I don't want to send a message to my teacher if my parents could see that I sent it.

[Caller]

Right, right. I think, though, it might be safer than social media.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, no, I get it.

[Caller]

Privacy. I don't. I tell all of my students from day one, neither you nor your families can reach me via social media. It's not a reliable source of communication. Also, I want some privacy for my family. I don't add anyone on Facebook unless I trust them, like with my kid or in my house, you know, so.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I might have to let you go. I'm sorry. I might have to go to. I might. The show's about to end. But I, I, I appreciate the call and. Yeah, but in that bill, I think it's passed. I actually think it's going into effect.

[Matt Jones]

Sensitive topic.

[Drew Franklin]

Had some teachers write me say that part of the problem is it's no tolerance. Like, one message and you're fired. It feels a little harsh.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

But it's a little much. But I agree that something should be in place.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, well, these are the kind of decisions legislatures, like the one you're now involved in, Ryan, have to make.

[Matt Jones]

That's why we elect them to make these tough decisions.

[Drew Franklin]

Yes. And why I elected you to make the decision as well. We tomorrow. It's. It's unpopular opinion day here on ksr. Get ready to call in. We'll see you later. Kentucky Sports Radio.
