[Shannon The Dude]

This is Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome, everyone. It is Kentucky Sports Radio Tuesday, July 8th. I am Matt Jones here on a sunny day in Lexington, Kentucky. You can give us a shout on the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line. We'll be taking your calls. 859-280-2287. A Vision Auto Glass Text Machine, 772-774-5254. In this edition, sponsored by the TJ Smith Law Office. If you call TJ he'll make them pay. In studio today on a slow July day. I was in Cincinnati last night, set through a rain delay, watch the Reds get one hit. That's two straight games. They've only gotten one hit, which very rarely do you win games when you only get one.

[Drew Franklin]

Very rarely.

[Matt Jones]

But watch them lose to the Marlins. It was bark in the park day.

[Drew Franklin]

So they had a lot of dogs.

[Matt Jones]

They didn't bring as many dogs yesterday, I think, because it was, it was raining and so I guess dogs, I don't know, they not like rain. What do they do? I don't know.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm shocked. There was another bark in the park. Felt like it was two weeks ago. You had a bar.

[Matt Jones]

I think they have them like every couple, you know, every few days, just get a dog, just say this to the red stadium. They got the worst food of any baseball stadium. I've been to a lot of baseballs. I counted there, what, 30 Major League Baseball teams. I think I've been to 21 stadiums. And Reds have the worst food there they might be. The worst stadiums for food are the Reds and the Yankees, which you would think the Yankees.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. No kidding.

[Matt Jones]

Would have, really. But they don't have good food either. And sometimes the best stadiums are not in places you would think, like Pittsburgh's got a great stadium.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Even though they stink, they got a great stadium.

[Ryan Lemond]

Last time I went to a Reds game, I might have shared this already, but the woman as she went to take my order at the food place, quit her job, walked away. And the guy cooking hot dogs is like, I don't know, man. And he Just started me handing hot hot dogs off the grill. So, yeah, I actually enjoy the Reds culinary experience.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, they just don't have as many. There's not as many good choices. Stadium's awesome. Yeah, it is, but it's like Skyline Chick Fil A.

[Drew Franklin]

You get a big red smokey when you go to.

[Matt Jones]

But that's it. Every game. Every game has a hot dog. You say that every time we talk about the Reds. There's not a baseball stadium in America where you can't get a hot dog.

[Drew Franklin]

But the big red smokey in Cincinnati is, like, the best.

[Matt Jones]

What's the difference? It's just a hot dog.

[Drew Franklin]

It's.

[Matt Jones]

It's.

[Drew Franklin]

It's a big red smokey. It's a smoky big. That's.

[Matt Jones]

Is there something on it? No, it's nothing. It's the same as everything else. It's fine. But like. Like the Mets. You've been in the Mets. They've got, like, one of the best stadiums. They got everything. They got like every kind of restaurant, every kind of foo foo, smoo shmoo stuff. I mean, they have everything. When we went to Arizona, the Diamondback Stadium, all kinds of different food. Never been there, but tacos and nacho. Well, who's we?

[Ryan Lemond]

Did you have a mouse in your pocket?

[Matt Jones]

I mean, I went by myself, but you were in Arizona and. Well, anyway, so I missed our old.

[Ryan Lemond]

Baseball tour to put a bow on that. That was.

[Matt Jones]

We used to do that.

[Ryan Lemond]

I was thinking about that while I was at Coors.

[Matt Jones]

Good trip. This summer's been a little hectic in terms of everybody not being here, but I'd love to do. I'd love to do a trip where we go to the stadiums again. I think we've figured out the date for our December trip. We're going to go down to St. John to the Atlantic. St. John's game. So we're going to tour the south this December. We've never really toured the south, actually. We've gone to pretty much every part of the country except the south and.

[Drew Franklin]

The games in Atlanta.

[Matt Jones]

Games in Atlanta. So we'll leave, probably do like Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana State. We haven't done a lot of those states. Are you excited about that? Shannon get to see Mississippi in December.

[Shannon The Dude]

We could dip into Florida while we're there, too.

[Drew Franklin]

Shannon's condo that go to Play State. Shannon's place.

[Matt Jones]

The good thing about that is it won't be as cold as sometimes it is on some of our other trips when we go up towards the North.

[Ryan Lemond]

So exciting game too.

[Matt Jones]

That's right. All right, so there. This is one of those days that there's no, like, big picture thing. I have a ton of, like, little things.

[Drew Franklin]

Those are the best ones.

[Matt Jones]

But I want to start with a question. I got on the text machine last night, and it got me thinking. Okay, so this was from a two seven. Oh, number. Matt. I was drinking with my friends this weekend. We were talking about our various coaches in basketball, and we were trying to figure out who would be the best in certain circumstances. Here were the ones we discussed. Would love to hear you discuss these on the air. So there were like 15, but I'm going to give you the five that I like the best. All right, so remember, we're talking Rupp, Joby Patino, Tubby Gillespie, Pope Sutton. So seven different guys.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Right. Have been our coach. And the question is, how would you rank them for these various jobs? Let's start. You have to pick a UK basketball coach as President of the United States. All right, who is your top choice? Who is your worst choice? Let's all just agree, seventh place, Shannon, is Billy Gillespie. We do not want Billy Gillespie to be the President of the United States. Would everybody agree with that?

[Drew Franklin]

Unanimous.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so now how who you putting as being the president? I have a selection, but I'd like to hear first from you.

[Ryan Lemond]

My president is John Vincent Calipari.

[Matt Jones]

Really?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Interesting.

[Ryan Lemond]

I think to be the president, you have to be a little full of it. Kind of have to be a showman also. He changes families. Go up. Changing generations of families. Maybe he could change generations of families as the president.

[Matt Jones]

You don't think there's a little bit of people don't like politicians that are kind of full of it? Well, I think they're all full of it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. People wouldn't like him, but I think that's why it's the perfect role.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. He just kind of is a. Paul would be second for you. It's tough if you like that trait, that I would think Patino.

[Ryan Lemond]

I was gonna say, I think Rick would just slide right in as his successor.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so you're gonna go Cal Patino. What about you?

[Drew Franklin]

I'm going a different route. I'm going Joseph Beesman Hall, Joe B. Hall as my president. Kind of a grandpa type figure, like your pet gravity.

[Matt Jones]

We've had a lot of grandpas. Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. Replaced. Had the toughest job of replacing a legend. I think he can unify the country. So I'm going with Joe B.

[Matt Jones]

Hall, who's second for you.

[Drew Franklin]

Tubby Smith.

[Matt Jones]

Tubby Smith. Now, here's what's interesting. Four different people mentioned.

[Drew Franklin]

Yep. Huh.

[Matt Jones]

All right, Shannon, who's your president?

[Shannon The Dude]

I would like to be different, but I think Drew's spot on. I think you got to have John Calipari. He's good with people. You know, he's good at going out and. And talking to, I guess, you know, your everyday layman, if you want to use that term. He is full of it. But he's a great talker, too. And I feel like he would be, you know, really good at going out and doing all the. The speeches and everything. So I would have him number one, probably Patino. Number two is his vice president.

[Matt Jones]

All right, So I think if it were, like, the 90s, the pre social media, pre Trump era, I'm with you. I think it would be Cal and Patino, But I think this is a different time now.

[Drew Franklin]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

I think now you have to just kind of be genuine. I think people want genuine. So my president, I'm a big believer. Smart wins out over everything. Mark Pope. Why would Mark Pope not be a perfect president? He's the smartest coach we've ever had.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

All right. Big heart.

[Drew Franklin]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. Analytics. Probably our best chance of knowing technology. Very true. I mean, I don't know if the older people. You think Joe B. Is going to understand AI?

[Drew Franklin]

I don't think he's going to.

[Matt Jones]

I think so. Mark Pope would be number one, and then Tubby would be number two for me because he's got a good heart.

[Drew Franklin]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

And I think he. Like, he's a. He's a unifying figure. So we all. Well, you, Shannon, and Drew have the same president.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

But three different presidents. I'm. To me, Mark Pope's the easy choice because he's so smart.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so that's number question number two. Question number two. You're at war. You need somebody in your foxhole with you. Y' all have each other's back, and you also want to have skill to get through a war. Ryan, which UK Coach are you wanting in the Fox Hole for. For the war?

[Drew Franklin]

I'm. I'm leaning Tubby Smith.

[Matt Jones]

Really?

[Drew Franklin]

He was 17. Kids he had to fight in his entire life for everything.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. He's very.

[Drew Franklin]

Family's very important to him. I thought. I think he would have your back. I'm going with Tubby.

[Matt Jones]

All right. I don't know if he has a skill set, but I'm feeling like Adolph Rupp would be good in a foxhole. I'm feeling like I don't know, he might have even been in World War I. I'm not sure. I feel like if I'm in a foxhole, Shannon and I need somebody to have my back and go out. I'm thinking Adolph Rupp will be good at that. What about you?

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, that's actually going to be my pick, too. I think just because, you know, he's old school.

[Drew Franklin]

Right.

[Shannon The Dude]

He's tough. You got to have somebody that's tough. And I think he was probably the toughest coach. And of course, seven of them.

[Matt Jones]

If we're stuck somewhere, I think he could probably win. Whittle it. Whittle a sword from the wood.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, right.

[Matt Jones]

Like he could do something practical to help us. What are you going to do with.

[Ryan Lemond]

The sword in the World War?

[Matt Jones]

Stab people when they're. When they're. While they're reloading their guns.

[Shannon The Dude]

He's not going to be too good with, like, Modern Warfare, but, you know, that's true.

[Matt Jones]

We'll teach it to him. No, I figure, like, he'll know gadgets. He'll. He'll figure out how to work. All right, what about you?

[Ryan Lemond]

Kind of going to surprise you all again here. I'm going. Billy Clyde Gillespie.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, I can see it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, I'll tell you why.

[Matt Jones]

No, I can see it because I bet. Because I bet you he's going to run, walk into battle and do crazy things.

[Shannon The Dude]

He would run.

[Ryan Lemond]

And I remember a story, a walk.

[Matt Jones]

On told me he did run. Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

I can't remember if it was Krebs or someone else from that team, but they told me Billy Gillespie pulled him aside at practice one time and literally is what you just said, said, hey, get in the foxhole with me. And they didn't know what he was talking about, but he kept insisting, you have to get in the foxhole with me. So Billy. He's already a foxhole guy.

[Shannon The Dude]

I'm going with Billy Gillespie down there is what he had in that fox.

[Matt Jones]

Billy would have been second for me. I mean, I'm going eight off front, but Billy would have been second. All right, next question. Shannon, you go first.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Host a talk show. The Tonight show needs a new host. It can only be a former UK guy. Who is it?

[Shannon The Dude]

I think it's John Caliperi again.

[Matt Jones]

Another John California. I think the John Caliperi. That's what he's made for. Hey. Well, everybody, I don't know if his monologue would be good. You'd hear the same jokes every single show. He'd be like, oh, pooping ice cream. But I do think he would probably do that the best. What do you think?

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm going a different direction. I don't think he would shut up to let his guests talk. He would talk. He would talk through the commercial break. I don't think he'd be a good host. He needs to be the one being interviewed, not doing the interviewing.

[Matt Jones]

That's a good point.

[Ryan Lemond]

So I have him last. I'm going Jo B. He would almost be like his audience.

[Matt Jones]

To the talk show.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. And he would be almost. And I want the older Joby almost. He'd be like the audience's grandpa. All the guests would love him. He could talk about hunting, fishing, whatever he want to talk about with him. So I think Joe would be a. Joe B.

[Matt Jones]

Would be a good host a talk show. So that should. So maybe it is Joe B. What do you got?

[Drew Franklin]

No, no. All this, no disrespect. The talk show he hosted stunk. It was awful.

[Matt Jones]

Wow.

[Drew Franklin]

Wow.

[Matt Jones]

You probably have a hearing. Wow.

[Drew Franklin]

So you can't.

[Ryan Lemond]

Is it better than the cow podcast?

[Drew Franklin]

You can't have Cal Perry because the talk shows where guys just talk and talk and talk are just boring. You can't have. And you can't have Rick Patino for the same reason. So that's why I'm going with Mark Pope. I think Pope's smart enough. He can relate to anybody.

[Matt Jones]

Special he.

[Drew Franklin]

Didn'T talk about, like, Patino and Cal does. I'm going Pope.

[Matt Jones]

Cal does have, like, three failed podcasts, so that's. That might be a problem for his. Okay. Marry your sister.

[Shannon The Dude]

Oh, you got to pick one.

[Drew Franklin]

Your first.

[Matt Jones]

Your first Pope, right?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, Pope's going to be the most pure guy to marry your sister.

[Drew Franklin]

Hope or Toby, I think. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, Gillespie definitely last.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

So Pope's going to take her out for a.

[Matt Jones]

So that's me and Patino. I don't know who you're picking last between those two. It's going to be one of them. I'm going. I mean, is anybody going to say.

[Ryan Lemond]

Pope's an easy answer.

[Drew Franklin]

Hope or Tubby?

[Shannon The Dude]

I think Tubby would be a good one. Okay, I'll go.

[Matt Jones]

Finally go to Vegas with.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, boy.

[Shannon The Dude]

Billy.

[Drew Franklin]

Billy Gillispie.

[Shannon The Dude]

Eddie, too.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

So you take it, Billy. You take it. Eddie or Rick.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm going Rick all day. I've been on a flight to Vegas with Rick.

[Matt Jones]

I think Rick. I think Billy would take you to the degenerate parts of Vegas. You're going to old Vegas, Rick. You're getting, like, the Red carpet treatment into the clubs and into the restaurants and you're at the high limit table with Billy. You might be found next to Nicholas Cage dead on the street if you're not careful. Shannon. So I'm taking Rick.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, But I think Billy would be more of a good time overall though. I. I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

Billy's you.

[Shannon The Dude]

He would party.

[Matt Jones]

Billy's Billy is a booty shaker.

[Shannon The Dude]

And I'm telling you, that sounds fun to me. I don't know about you guys.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so I'm going, Rick, you're a Billy.

[Ryan Lemond]

Easy. Rick.

[Matt Jones]

Rick.

[Ryan Lemond]

You walk into the wind and Italian guys in suits come out and just start following you. They don't even have names.

[Matt Jones]

They're all casino in real life. Isn't he?

[Drew Franklin]

See, my Richard was coaching out there.

[Ryan Lemond]

So they got all the connections.

[Drew Franklin]

My day of. Of a good time in Vegas, I was going to senior Frogs. That's Billy Gillespie and Eddie Sutton. That's who I'm going with.

[Matt Jones]

See, actually, I feel like you're more of an Eddie guy. I can see you and Eddie sitting at the bar until three in the morning, just the two of you talking.

[Drew Franklin]

Talking basketball.

[Matt Jones]

All right, well, I like those questions.

[Drew Franklin]

Those are great questions.

[Matt Jones]

Thank you very much for. For sending the message. 859-280-2287. Text machine. 772-774-5254. We'll go over a bunch of the news today. This is ksr. Welcome back. It is Kentucky sports radio. People on the text machine. 772-7745254. Can't believe how many shots you took at Jo B. What do you got against Joe B. He was on the air against us when, when I started, I just said.

[Drew Franklin]

The show wasn't any good. You know, you turn into it. It's like, hey, Denny went fishing last night. Hooked a big one. I didn't know if it was a crappie or a bluegill, but I think it was a crappie. Right when.

[Matt Jones]

That's what the show was. Why?

[Drew Franklin]

When I got into the bank, it got off. Denny, that was the show.

[Matt Jones]

That was the show.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I don't think I ever listened to it. But I mean, they used to do it. Shannon. They used to do it at Hooters.

[Drew Franklin]

They did.

[Matt Jones]

Joby would be at the Lexington Hooters. Denny would be at the Louisville Hooters.

[Shannon The Dude]

Man's got to eat.

[Matt Jones]

And they would just every day be at each Hooters talking to each other. That's. That's the part that was always baffling to me they were like seven straight years where they did every single day.

[Ryan Lemond]

I never knew they were at dueling Hooters locations. I just thought they were at the same place. Soon they're the same place. They were ahead of this Lexington, Louisville dynamic before we even got to it.

[Matt Jones]

Now before we get to the phone, the basketball players he deciding today. This crowd, Crow.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. It's coming up. Kentucky was slipping. He's a five star guard so people don't know.

[Matt Jones]

This is like the number two point guard in America. And Kentucky has led in theory from the beginning. His name is like Jason Crow Jr. Jason Crow Jr. And everybody assumed he was going. And then this weekend it just came out. He's may go to Missouri.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, it's not his. He announced his commitment date. It's coming up. It's not today.

[Matt Jones]

It's not today.

[Ryan Lemond]

I don't think so. Unless that popped up and I didn't see it. It is later this week or this upcoming weekend. But Kentucky has been sliding.

[Matt Jones]

Could you lose to Missouri? I mean I'm not blaming like I'm sure it's a money thing when you say how could you. But why would you want to go to Missouri? Missouri over Kentucky?

[Ryan Lemond]

It would have to be money. Especially when we saw how they fizzled out.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so this is the number two point guard. The number three point guard is the sixth overall player. Yeah. The number three point guard is the kid that's likely going to Louisville. The one from Newport.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

So I was hoping we'd get the number two so we'd be like oh, eat it. But you're saying maybe we won't get him.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm not as hip on what he's going to do. I know that Kentucky, there were stories on, on three that he slid and he led the EYBL and scoring. He's a great player. Hope we get him. But it's. There's a pack of teams still in the mix.

[Matt Jones]

He looks like what I've just seen highlights, don't know but he looks like a dynamic player. Like the kind of player that you go, okay, you just hand this kid the ball and he's going to be really good.

[Ryan Lemond]

I just love that pope. We worried about him and these blue chip five star guys that Cal always got. Now his first class had two Kentucky ones that made it easy but he's in with a lot of them this year. Next year he's not going to be surrendering the top picks just because he has a different style than Cal. He's in the mix With a lot of the guys.

[Matt Jones]

Well, we'll see. I hope we get him. I mean, I got excited when I saw that it looked like they were going to. They were going to get him. And then as soon as I saw it, then I see Missouri. I can't imagine why you'd want to go to play for Missouri. No one's at the game. You know, Missouri, to me is about as boring a school as you could go to. Like, they give me. I mean, give me something that makes you want to go to Missouri. Keon Dueling Tom Hards.

[Drew Franklin]

Probably ready to fight you right now.

[Matt Jones]

Well, no, it's true. It's just boring.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's so yellow. I know color shouldn't matter, but it's.

[Matt Jones]

Just so yellow, so you're exactly right. It's like yellow and burnt brown are their colors.

[Ryan Lemond]

Even their court. It's typical hardwood court, but they managed to make it even kind of yellowish.

[Matt Jones]

And I mean, their biggest school is journalism, which, you know, sleep. It's like, I don't. I don't get Missouri. If it were up to me, we would kick Missouri out of the sec. No, in. Replace them with, like, North. If you could just take Missouri out, put North Carolina, that would definitely be.

[Drew Franklin]

Better for basketball, be better for everything.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, Missouri's not good at anything. Missouri didn't win any baseball games this year. They won, like, one.

[Drew Franklin]

Did they?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, football.

[Drew Franklin]

They kind of consider us. I don't know why, like one of their rivals now on the sec.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I don't consider them.

[Drew Franklin]

I don't.

[Ryan Lemond]

I beat him so much when things.

[Matt Jones]

Were going well, and then they beat us in the last couple years. Get them out of here, Andy. Go ahead, Andy.

[E]

I think that Commitment day is July 18th,08. And the only.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, other.

[E]

Yeah, the only other explanation I can think of other than money is I guess they told him he could go there and be the guy, you know, be the main point.

[Matt Jones]

I don't understand wanting to be a. The guy on a bad team, but, you know, you're probably right. Go ahead.

[E]

Just had a basketball question. I was thinking about next year's guards. We're gonna have five guys that basically need playing time, needs to be on the floor at least 10 to 15 minutes. I was gonna say if you would rank the most minutes to least amount of minutes with low. Oh, wait. Chandler, Johnson and Aberdeen.

[Matt Jones]

Low one away to Aberdeen three, Johnson four, Chandler five. But I think they all play. I think all of them will be in double digits.

[Ryan Lemond]

I think it's be very.

[E]

They definitely need A minute.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Appreciate the call.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm very conflicted with Colin Chandler. I have. Part of me really thinks we're going to be surprised by how good he is.

[Matt Jones]

I think we're going to play three guards a lot. I think we're going to. I mean, I think, you know, I think that three spot in Pope's offense can be. I mean remember most last year away was playing that spot. Right. So whether it's away or Chandler or whoever you want to put there, will. Well, yeah, I think William's gonna play the four a lot, but I think you're gonna see that five. I think three of them are going to be on the court most of the time. So you'll get all their minutes.

[Drew Franklin]

3 guard lineup definitely their. Their best lineup this year. I agree with you about Jalen Log just because I think we're a little thin at point guard. I think he gets the most minutes out of those five.

[Matt Jones]

He will not end up being underrated when the season starts because I won't shut up about him. But I still think people. People just look past him. They the assumptions online that always going to lead us in scoring. I think, I'm not saying he won't. Maybe he will. But I think if you went to Vegas and you made me bet on who was going, I would easily say Jalen. He's going to have the ball the most, he's going to play the most. He's going like he's going to score a lot. I don't know if he'll be the MVP or not. We'll see. But to be honest with you, if we're going to be really good, he needs to be the.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, if he is the leading scorer, I think that's really good sign for how the season's going because the other guys. I agree with you. I think it's going to be pretty balanced. I think away could lead the team with a lower number than he had a year ago.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I mean I love away, but Jalen Lowe's going to score like 17 and 8 this year.

[Drew Franklin]

And you think, you think Jasper gets more menacing Chandler?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, but it'll be close. I but I would. If you made me bet I would get Jasper but I could see it being ch. They wouldn't shock me if it was Chandler. Let's go to Teague. What's up Teague?

[E]

Hey, first off on that last call, I think you're tripping if you think Colin Chandler is getting anywhere the same amount of mendance as Jasper Johnson. That's ridiculous.

[Matt Jones]

We got to see how the season starts. If he plays like he did in the last couple of games at Team usa, then he'll get more minutes. If he plays like he did in the first couple games, then it'll be different.

[E]

I think Jasper Johnson is an inconsistent player right now, but I think that it's worth keeping an end, trying to get him high.

[Matt Jones]

That's what Mark Pope coaches.

[E]

I realized that. Second off, I want to say I could eat 10 more donuts than you ever could in one sitting. More than you could even dream of.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, but no one would care. I appreciate the call. We want. People want to see Ryan do it, and we have to talk about that because we're doing it. But Ryan, there. There are people upset about it. One is your girlfriend very upset. Another is the ladies of KSR Facebook page.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, really?

[Matt Jones]

The women in general, women in Ryan's life, the women sort of aren't fans. The men are like, you should have gotten. The women are like, you shouldn't get him to eat any. So we do need to discuss it.

[Drew Franklin]

Got my friends last night said, you can do it. And I said, they're Jeff's donuts because you can't do it.

[Matt Jones]

Were they men or women?

[Drew Franklin]

Men.

[Matt Jones]

Exactly. The men want you to do it. The women are worried about your figure. And so we have to discuss. We'll take a break. Be right back. Ksr TJ Smith, personal injury attorney.

[Drew Franklin]

Call TJ he'll make them pay.

[Shannon The Dude]

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

[Matt Jones]

What is this?

[Shannon The Dude]

The donut song.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, okay. Well, we're going to hear this on Friday. Yes. 859-280-2287. On the text machine, one person writes, matt, Missouri has won the SEC championship. I don't know how you can say you don't want them. They've had more success in football than we have. Don't care. It's not about success. It's about why do we want them in. Like, what do they add? Do they add excitement? Do you ever get excited about Missouri game? You ever sit there and go, oh, man, can't wait to play Missouri. Think about that atmosphere.

[Ryan Lemond]

I've not had one urge to go to a Mizzou game.

[Matt Jones]

Missouri is the most boring. Which, I mean, if I. If you're. If you're being honest, if I were to say to you, would you rather have North Carolina or Virginia or Missouri in the conference? Who's saying Missouri?

[Drew Franklin]

Only Missouri grads.

[Matt Jones]

Nobody. They're not Southern. Okay. This is the sec, we are still the one conference that to some extent has geographical consistency. Missouri is not Southern in the least. We are, like, arguably Southern. Missouri is not Southern at all. No, it is Midwestern. It's just boring. I mean, they're in. They're not going anywhere. But they should be in the Big Ten, right?

[Drew Franklin]

They just wanted them to get the St. Louis market. Right?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, but that was in the old cable system days. That doesn't matter anymore.

[Drew Franklin]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

Missouri should be in the Big Ten. That's where they're like. That's where their heart is. Right. And we should have somebody else.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'll happily get rid of them. It was impressive when they came right in the SEC and had some football success for a few years other than that.

[Matt Jones]

But they hit down years in the.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, they've had some terrible years. And as you mentioned, their baseball team, they.

[Matt Jones]

When they won were years that the SEC was just kind of down overall and they got, you know. Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

And then they've had some horrible years. And as you mentioned, their baseball team almost went winless this past season.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, they only won one game, the baseball team. All right, let's talk about the donuts real quick. You. So I've had. I've had a request for a modification.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

There are people who think the 10 and 10 minutes, you're gonna have no chance.

[Drew Franklin]

No chance.

[Matt Jones]

Because they're so big. So what. What, what if we do this? You still have to do 10, but I'll give you 20 minutes. Oh, so that eating them quickly is not the issue, it's just eating them, period.

[Drew Franklin]

I. I think once I get to five or six, no matter how much time you give me, I'm not gonna be able to cram four more down my throat.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, but you again, you have to believe in it.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, that's right. That's right. I can do it.

[Matt Jones]

All right.

[Drew Franklin]

I practice. I had a donut this morning, so I was kind of practicing it.

[Matt Jones]

Free eating. So does anybody have an objection to giving him 20 minutes?

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, I do.

[Matt Jones]

You do?

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah. Because yesterday he said he could do 10 in 10 minutes. Now you're changing the rules.

[Matt Jones]

I'm kind of of the opinion, though. The issue for him was not going to be eating it quickly. It was going to be eating it at all.

[Shannon The Dude]

I want to see it in 10 minutes, though. That was the deal. Now we're going to 20. Well, then make it two hours if you're going to change the time and to say eat 10 donuts.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so you're vetoing the 20.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, Ryan, you said you could do it. You got to do it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Claude. 15, meet in the middle.

[Matt Jones]

How about we meet in the middle? 15 minutes, 10 donuts. Now the people in your life, they're trying to get you not to do it.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, she just sent me another text. I think it basically said, matt can suck. It is exactly what the text said.

[Matt Jones]

Why she mad at me? I'm just.

[Drew Franklin]

I think she thinks you're trying to kill me.

[Matt Jones]

You're the one that said you could do it. This I will remind you, this all came from you. You can go listen to the tape. I didn't say. I didn't say you could do 10. You said I can eat 10 in 10 minutes.

[Drew Franklin]

I thought it'd be a fun little experiment to try.

[Matt Jones]

This is an experiment. That's what we're doing.

[Drew Franklin]

Of course, I would prefer.

[Matt Jones]

Let me ask you a question. What if I put up a GoFundMe and fans can contribute to you if you get it? Like, because I had people online offer to put up like a hundred bucks themselves, et cetera. What if I put up a GoFundMe? I bet it would get, you know, I bet it get a grand.

[Ryan Lemond]

Probably I'd go higher.

[Matt Jones]

What if I put up a GoFundMe and then would that give you more incentive? If you throw in my 200 and then you might get 500,000, who knows? I think it depends on how much the fans are excited about.

[Ryan Lemond]

Joe Craft could be excited about it.

[Matt Jones]

Who knows?

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, you could.

[Matt Jones]

We don't know. We've never done anything like that with money, so we have no idea what it would be, but it conceivably could be a good amount of money.

[Drew Franklin]

Could probably pay for my ambulance ride to the hospital and my stomach pump once I get to the hospital.

[Matt Jones]

Look, this. You have a great bread. It's just like. It's just bread.

[Drew Franklin]

Just bread, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

So do you like that? I mean, would you want me to do the GoFundMe?

[Drew Franklin]

I go for it. I'm just still worried about my accomplishing the ten donuts period.

[Matt Jones]

But do you think you'll have more incentive if the fans have put in? Sure.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. There'll be more incentive. Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

What happens if the fans donate all this money and he doesn't do it? We just cancel the GoFundMe.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. They get it back.

[Drew Franklin]

You know, this reminds me. Remember that time your bet Drew could gain, like, what, 20 pounds in a week?

[Matt Jones]

That was unhealthy. That was trying to get empty, actually, though. Yeah. Yeah. But that was Like, Drew, can you gain. It was like £50 in a month or something. And that would genuinely have probably hurt his health. This is like a one time. Yeah, I can see you eating four or five on your own.

[Drew Franklin]

I could eat four or five donuts, no problem.

[Ryan Lemond]

Eating one earlier. What's nine more?

[Matt Jones]

So I'm not trying to talk you into this. You have to decide this.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm going to try it.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so then what's. There's no debate.

[Drew Franklin]

No debate.

[Matt Jones]

You want me to put up the GoFundMe? Do you want me to give the chance for fans to. To do.

[Drew Franklin]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. So fans can contribute a little more incentive. Well, I mean, I don't know how much money it could be. I think, you know, he's gonna get.

[Shannon The Dude]

$10,000 to eat 10 donuts. That's what's gonna happen.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know if it'll be 10,000. I don't think it'll get to that, but it wouldn't shock me if it was over a thousand or two thousand, which is awesome.

[Drew Franklin]

People are great, but there, I still. I don't have a chance in France of getting there. So they're just, you know.

[Matt Jones]

Well, here's what now, don't anybody like people do fake ones? Don't donate to one unless it comes from me. Like, wait till you see it from me.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. I'll put it up either tonight or tomorrow to give people a chance to do it. All right.

[Drew Franklin]

And we'll probably donate it to one of my favorite charities.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, you could use it.

[Drew Franklin]

I definitely could use it.

[Matt Jones]

So then why do you. I mean, if you want to donate it to charity, you can, but I will. People would rather give it to you.

[Ryan Lemond]

You are the charity.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, they've seen my bank account. They know a lot of red numbers in there.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I mean, it's up to you if you want to give it to charity. That's very nice of you, but why wouldn't you just keep it?

[Drew Franklin]

I just feel guilty.

[Matt Jones]

What would you feel guilty about? You're not forcing these people to do it.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's a transaction they signed up for.

[Matt Jones]

It's for their entertainment. And some of them would be doing it for, like, the joy you've given them over the years.

[Drew Franklin]

They want to see me throw up. I think that's why they're donating the money.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, but fine. So why. I mean, look, if you want to give it to charity, that's very nice of you, but I don't want you to feel guilted into giving it. To charity?

[Drew Franklin]

No, no, I feel guilty. I want something I wouldn't want to do. Kind of do it as a fundraiser for something.

[Ryan Lemond]

So you're eating ten donuts for charity?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. That's even better.

[Matt Jones]

Took a turn. I just felt like I'm sweating already.

[Drew Franklin]

Thinking about these donuts.

[Matt Jones]

All right, well, it's very, let me say, very nice for you to give to charity. I also don't think, though, I don't think people would feel bad if you. You took it this. You're. You're like working for a prize. I mean, Shannon didn't give his $5,000 from the walk to charity.

[Shannon The Dude]

I did some.

[Matt Jones]

How much?

[Shannon The Dude]

I think it was a thousand at least of it.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, 20%. You want to give 20% of it?

[Drew Franklin]

Sure.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so now he's going to keep you. I knew it wouldn't take him long to get to the 80%. Tyler, go ahead.

[E]

Yeah. Hey, Matt, can you hear me?

[Matt Jones]

Yes, always. Go ahead.

[E]

I've got two quick questions, and they're unrelated to each other. The first question is how long. What's the longest period of time you could realistically see Mark Pope being here? And the second question is, how good do you think Archman will end up.

[Matt Jones]

Being on the first question? I could see Mark Pope Being here 15 years, easy. I could see it. I mean, I don't know how long the man wants to coach, but he seems driven by it. He seems to love it. You know, if he's successful and wins, I could. I don't think he's going to go anywhere else. So, Ryan, I could see him 15 years.

[Drew Franklin]

He's only early 50s. I mean, he's a young man, really, in the coaching world. So I can see him definitely being here 15 to 20 years.

[Ryan Lemond]

I agree, is, you know, assuming it's going well, I'll put him. I'll say retires at 70, I guess. I think he's 52. That'll be 18 years.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I mean, it's all going to be about. For me, it won't be about him leaving. It's about, is he successful? Sure, I think he will be. But if he's successful, I think Mark Pope will be here as long. Like, there are very few coaches in the country that I think I could see being at their school longer than Mark Pope here. Even young guys like John Shire. I could see John Shire go to the NBA one day. Right. Mark Pope's not going to the NBA.

[Drew Franklin]

This is his job.

[Matt Jones]

This will be the job. And so I. Yeah, for sure. I think he could stay here a long time. Arch Manning. I let him start for a couple of games.

[Drew Franklin]

I mean they play at Ohio State, don't they? First?

[Matt Jones]

We'll find out quickly. Fine. Bomb said he was going to be better than Tim Tebow. Like calm down, dude. Let him play some games first. I'm excited. I bet he's good though. The man are smart and so I bet he's good. Tim, go ahead. Tim.

[E]

Missed the the show yesterday. I tried to call in. I got a sad song for you. Teddy Bear by Red Sylvine.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I, I don't, I don't like that song. Isn't that, isn't that the one cb. He's on the cb. That's not even a song. They're like talking to each other the whole time. That's always been one of my least favorite Willie's Roadhouse songs.

[E]

And also I have a comment on the football team. I wonder if they're downplaying this year to keep our expectations lower. Over the last few years they've been really high and we haven't done as well. Maybe they're keeping them low so we'll surprise people this year.

[Matt Jones]

Maybe that's called. You gotta hope that's the case. You know you can. I mean, I hope so do I think it's likely? I don't know. I think it is amazing how solid they've been and it's clear they're not deviating from that path. We have criticized it. Other people have criticized. They've said nothing. They are calling people now for season tickets that had season tickets last during like the Truman administration, like they are doing. I give them credit but they are not deviating from the plan of hiding to the public. And I guess that's just gonna be what it is. But again, if they win, none of that'll matter.

[Ryan Lemond]

Next week's SEC media days. You can't hide there. But Stoops did get the last day time slot when most the media has gone home and the room's empty.

[Matt Jones]

They're going 16th of the 16 teams which in the past means no one will be there.

[Ryan Lemond]

Most people have already left.

[Matt Jones]

Most people will have already gone home. Stop overpaying for sunglasses if you're tired of buying expensive sunglasses only to lose or break them.

The mystery pair, shady rays and shadyrays.com. we'll take a break. Be right back. It's KSR. I hate to say. Yeah, this is the worst. I can't stand this song. It's because it's not a song. You're just talking and it's long to Shannon. Like seven minutes long.

[Shannon The Dude]

Five, but probably four minutes too long.

[Matt Jones]

Feels way too long.

[E]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

More people saying they're going to donate. I again, first of all, only do it if you want to. Second, you should do whatever you want with the money. Don't. Don't you have a great conscience? But you're also somebody. You were like you were telling me during the break like if people give me money, I'll feel bad. That's what entertainment is like if you were to go put on a stand up comedy show, people pay for a ticket to come see you. That's entertainment.

[Drew Franklin]

This seems weird to me.

[Matt Jones]

Why?

[Drew Franklin]

I don't know.

[Ryan Lemond]

Give me eating 10 donuts in 10 minutes is weird.

[Shannon The Dude]

The show is weird.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I just, I'm just saying I know that it would be helpful to you and I don't want you to feel like you can't do it because of you're of any sort of conscience or anything.

[Ryan Lemond]

I think most people that would give would want Ryan to keep to.

[Matt Jones]

That's exactly right. They would be doing it. They would want you to do it. That's why they're doing it. So. But you know, that's up to you. I got a question for you, Shannon. Yesterday on the, on the Interrupted by Matt Jones podcast, we talked about this. Drew and I gave our thoughts pretty extensively. You can see it. Subscribe to Interrupted by Matt Jones. Yesterday's show was really fun with me and Drew and Billy talking about the news. But one of the things we talked about I have to ask you about because you've talked about it for years, which is the Epstein thing. They really the FBI releases and says there's no list, he committed suicide, case closed.

[Shannon The Dude]

But no, no, I don't know. I think, you know there's a lot of coincidences that were going on with like the cameras that weren't working, guards that didn't do their rounds at the time they were supposed to. If you go through there's a lot of things that weren't that didn't happen that were supposed to. And you know, I don't think that's a coincidence that the cameras just so.

[Matt Jones]

Happened to be so what do you think about the fact that the one dude that's now the assistant head of the FBI, Bungino, he had been one of the biggest Epstein conspiracy theorists. He was like, it's conspiracy. They're hiding things. Now he's in charge. And he's like, well, maybe they're not.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, well, I mean, they're not going to come out and say that they killed him.

[Matt Jones]

But he said the whole re. I mean, Trump's whole thing was, I'm going to run to put this out. And then the woman, the Attorney general had said, I got the binder on my desk with all the names. She should have to, like, resign, right?

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, I would think so. And why are those names not out there, by the way? Like what?

[Matt Jones]

Well, I think probably because they don't exist. We talked about this on the podcast. Like, I doubt there was, like, just a ledger of names, but she said there were just a few months ago they were like, and you. And now nothing. So you still. You still think, like, they're hiding stuff?

[Shannon The Dude]

Oh, yeah, there's definitely something going on. I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

So nothing in this announcement changes your mind?

[Shannon The Dude]

No, no. Still believe it.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. Because Billy said he used to believe it. Now he believes that there's no, like, he. They changed Billy's mind. I've always believed, by the way, there was no list. That it was just like, something people said. Because I didn't believe he took a ledger and just wrote people's names down.

[Drew Franklin]

I think that would be pretty careless of him to do something like that.

[Matt Jones]

It would be stupid. Right? But people are mad online.

[E]

What?

[Matt Jones]

The list.

[Shannon The Dude]

They want it.

[Matt Jones]

A lot of the people, a lot of the biggest Trump supporters are like, we. You said you do it. Now they're not. And they're mad. People are mad online, Drew.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, it was like a big charade. Remember, they brought all the podcasters and gave them bonders and they're like, posted, look, we got the list and they.

[Matt Jones]

Were holding it up and dancing. Which I thought that was weird. When they did it, I think is.

[Ryan Lemond]

There just needs to be an explanation of why people in power have talked about it so much. But then now it's nothing. Like, it's the math ain't math. And maybe it's not some crazy conspiracy. But why were you saying you had it if it never existed?

[Matt Jones]

I didn't see again, I may be wrong, but in the video, is there one minute that's missing? Is that the story?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes, I know you're talking about there's.

[Matt Jones]

Like, One minute of the video where he. Where it's missing. Like, it jumps from 11:58.58 to midnight.

[Drew Franklin]

This is the video of the. The jail cell.

[Matt Jones]

Of the jail cell or the hallway.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's not the actual cell, I don't think.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, that cannot be. Like Shannon said, it cannot be coincidence, right? That the. The. The. The. The. Yeah, the film was messed up. You see, it's not really film.

[Matt Jones]

How many digital did you do? Yeah. Was that like six straight, maybe?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

I think we found a topic to.

[Matt Jones]

Get some worked up past. Mine's a. The donuts.

[Shannon The Dude]

It all happened, though, during that minute. Minute and a half, whatever it was. That's not on the film.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I haven't seen that. You know that apparently they released all 11 hours, but that minute. Still not.

[Shannon The Dude]

Come on. That's.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. You know, but. Yeah. You.

[Shannon The Dude]

You don't think that.

[Matt Jones]

That.

[Shannon The Dude]

You think that's just some big coincidence?

[Matt Jones]

I don't have a strong opinion.

[Shannon The Dude]

I just think it literally happened there.

[Matt Jones]

I just think it's interesting. This is what I say about conspiracy theories. I just think it's interesting. These people that prom like said the conspiracy theory, then you put them in charge, and then they're like, well, nope, there's nothing.

[Drew Franklin]

We were wrong.

[Matt Jones]

Well, then why'd you say it for all those years?

[Drew Franklin]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

Let's go to Kevin. Go ahead, Kevin.

[E]

Yeah, I'm calling. I've heard you guys predict all your. Your starting lineups, and I know, you know, three more months to go, so it's perfect time to talk about that. I just want to see or understand why you guys don't think Jelovich will start.

[Matt Jones]

I think because you. I've never seen him play one second in my life, and he's not even in America yet.

[E]

Yeah, but he's doing it against pros, and he's averaging.

[Matt Jones]

What's he doing?

[E]

Respectful number. He's averaging 11 a game. And.

[Matt Jones]

But. But, I mean, so was Z.

[E]

Wouldn'T play. Was Z playing against pros? I don't think he was.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, Z was. Z was not in the league this guy was in. But Z was playing against pros. Again, I'm not. I mean, would it shock me? No. But if you're telling me, okay, I have to decide about a dude who played here last year. Okay, has been in Pope system. Pope loves him, is working out with the team all summer, and came back to college to play for Pope, Or I have to decide for a dude that I've never seen that, as of this moment, is not even in America yet and that they don't even really talk about on a day to day basis I'm going to pick the known guy with Garrison.

[E]

Sure sure and I, I I think you know beginning of the season. Yeah but I think by the by January I think you'll see low Aberdeen away acquaintance and yellow bitch that's just just throwing my adding you may be.

[Matt Jones]

Right you may be right. I appreciate the call I mean I don't know but my initial reaction is going to be let's get him in the States first because the longer he's not here and the longer like I don't hear about it there's a part of me going I'm certainly not going to bank on him. True you can't right at least not yet I hope I hope he comes in and is amazing because we could use it. We'll take a break come back our number two KSR.
