- [00:41]
Ryan Lemond
Welcome back.
- [00:42]
Matt Jones
Last time I was here, you had eaten all the donuts.
- [00:46]
Ryan Lemond
Oh, my.
- [00:47]
Matt Jones
You ate eight and a half donuts out of ten. I guess my big question is, how did.
- [00:52]
Ryan Lemond
How did you survive after you guys left? I laid down, my stomach, started doing cartwheels. I threw up and then slept for two hours and was fine after all that. So that seems to be. That was key to my recovery. Throw up and a nap.
- [01:06]
Matt Jones
Yeah, Throw up in a nap.
- [01:07]
Ryan Lemond
Yes. Get rid of all.
- [01:08]
Matt Jones
That's nice. So you didn't. You felt fine that night.
- [01:11]
Ryan Lemond
I'm telling you, man, I had. I've had whatever number you think people have asked me about donuts. It's double that everywhere. People want to know about these donuts.
- [01:19]
Matt Jones
Like, do you think you could have one today?
- [01:21]
Ryan Lemond
Not a glazed donut. I'm not eating a glazed donut for a while.
- [01:24]
Matt Jones
You don't like. You really don't. You couldn't. You couldn't see, they make you sick.
- [01:28]
Ryan Lemond
Now you think I can eat, like a long john or an apple fritter, but a regular glazed donut? It's gonna be a minute before I have one of those.
- [01:33]
Matt Jones
Well, it was. It was exciting. He did better, Drew, than I would have thought he was going to do.
- [01:38]
Shannon The Dude
He was spotted in town that night at Drake's. We. We went over this last week. He was also spotted getting lobster bisque at Publix. So it didn't completely do him in for the whole day. He had a. He had a few more.
- [01:49]
Matt Jones
So you were still able to eat.
- [01:50]
Ryan Lemond
Oh, after I woke up from that nap, I was. Felt fine, really.
- [01:53]
Matt Jones
It was. It was all anyone wanted to talk to me about, too. I kept getting phone calls. People want me to check on you and make sure you were okay.
- [02:01]
Ryan Lemond
Those dudes who were calling me a wimp because I couldn't complete the challenge. You tried to eat 10 of those Jeff donuts.
- [02:07]
Matt Jones
It was hard.
- [02:07]
Ryan Lemond
It was really hard.
- [02:08]
Matt Jones
It was really hard. I think, in hindsight, had you had you taken a different strategy, Drew? I think he could have done it. I think he was eating too slowly at the beginning because he thought he could just massage his way through it. So I think if he. If he. If he wanted to, maybe he could have done it.
- [02:24]
Shannon The Dude
It was close, but he never really had it at all. Just you needed to get way out in front. You needed to sprint and then crawl to the end. But when you were only at the average pace, three minutes and one donut, we knew you were done.
- [02:35]
Matt Jones
So then when that was over, I went to lunch before I took off for the. For the week with my friend, and we went to eat. What's that name of that place? The. The barbecue place on Versailles Road? You know, Double H, double H, double H. It's a. Like, it's, you know, good food. It's always like a. It's like an old Lexington crew everywhere. And I saw radio host Jack Patty there. Lexington legend. Radio host.
- [03:05]
Shannon The Dude
Big day for double. Two radio legends having lunch.
- [03:07]
Matt Jones
Well, I went in there. He was so nice, and he. He called me over. We took a picture, and he's like. You know, he was on the radio or has been on the radio since when? Like, the 30s, 70s?
- [03:21]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah.
- [03:21]
Matt Jones
I mean, he's been on forever. He's been on for, like, 50 years, and he's. He's like a legend. He was very nice. Said really positive things about this show, which I thought was very cool. And then I. And then I left. I had some difficulties, Ryan, at an airport.
- [03:37]
Ryan Lemond
Oh, no. Leaving your first flight.
- [03:40]
Matt Jones
I literally got through security, and the moment I got through security, they canceled my flight. So I'd already checked my bags, gotten through security, and then they cancel the flight. So they said, you know, flights canceled. So I go to one of these people, and I'm like, hey, can you help me? They said, your next flight can't do till tomorrow. So fine. I said, well, how do I get my luggage? They were like, go downstairs. They'll take care of it. Sat downstairs for two and a half hours, waiting for luggage for a flight that I am not taking. Right? And there was only one other person who had been in my situation who had checked the flight and didn't have the luggage. She was a woman, probably 40 years old, married, and clearly having Drew. Marital problems. Oh, okay.
- [04:30]
Shannon The Dude
So she that clear at AD Baggage claim.
- [04:33]
Matt Jones
You wouldn't think it would be that clear at baggage claim, but while we were sitting there next to each other, her husband calls, and she starts yelling at him, and she says, you're probably Wondering what that's about. And I wanted to be like, no, not really. But we're here. It's just the two of us, right? Me and Nashville housewife. I say, yeah, Everything all right? And she then proceeds to basically tell me, Shannon, that she's contemplating divorce.
- [05:02]
Drew Franklin
Oh, and opportunity for you.
- [05:07]
Matt Jones
That's one way to look at it. One door closes when you're a stranger, though. When you're a stranger and you're listening to this, it's a lot. And so I basically became marital counsel for two hours, you know, and it was. It was a lot. So I just kept hoping, please bring my bags. And they said, you know, we're going to have to get the people that get off the plane first. So I. It was like two and a half hours. So that was a tough start to the vacation, but otherwise, good stuff.
- [05:35]
Shannon The Dude
Sounds like she's oversharing. You're just trying to get your. Your toothbrush and your contacts.
- [05:39]
Matt Jones
And I feel like I'm going to check on her in a couple of weeks, Shannon, see if she was able to make it work from her husband. See if they're going to be our.
- [05:45]
Drew Franklin
We need some sort of update one.
- [05:46]
Shannon The Dude
Way or the other.
- [05:47]
Matt Jones
Yeah, we need an update.
- [05:49]
Shannon The Dude
Rebound.
- [05:50]
Matt Jones
No, not interested in a rebound. I just. I just want to make sure. I want to see family stay together. Then I got back Saturday and yesterday watched the glory that is the tbt.
- [06:02]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [06:02]
Matt Jones
Okay. So I. You have to understand something. I haven't really. I haven't really been part of the TBT tournament last year was. I was out of the country.
- [06:11]
Shannon The Dude
Right.
- [06:12]
Matt Jones
Didn't see any of it. Didn't see Drew get punched. Didn't see any of it. The first game where I was, they didn't have it. So I didn't get to see the game where they played, like, Astros or what. What was their name of the squad. Didn't get to see it. So yesterday is the. Really the first experience I've had with it. Most entertaining thing I've seen in a long time. All right. Why do I love it? 1. You get all these names from the past, right? It's kind of cool to see the Twins being the Twins. It's cool to see Willie. Willie looks like he's. He's. Need some sleep, but otherwise it's good to see Willie. Daron Lamb looks exactly like Daron Lamb, just with a more mischievous smile.
- [06:55]
Shannon The Dude
A little longer hair.
- [06:56]
Matt Jones
A little longer hair. Then you throw in getting Archie and Cleo Whitney getting to see them have good moments in. In a thing I don't know who some of these players are though. Who is DJ Burns? Where did he come from?
- [07:07]
Ryan Lemond
He played for Sean woods at Southern, played at Murray State, but he finished at Youngstown State.
- [07:12]
Matt Jones
But how's he on the tape from.
- [07:14]
Ryan Lemond
Sean with the Sean woods connection? Sean was.
- [07:16]
Matt Jones
He's La Familia now. Yeah, we need him.
- [07:19]
Ryan Lemond
Oh yeah, he's a fan favorite, pretty good.
- [07:21]
Drew Franklin
He's more loud, familiar than Jesser ever was.
- [07:23]
Matt Jones
He's certainly, certainly more than just.
- [07:25]
Ryan Lemond
But you know, we watched him play when we stopped and watched Youngstown State play Ohio, he played for Youngstown State.
- [07:32]
Matt Jones
Okay.
- [07:33]
Shannon The Dude
I remember I could not take my eyes off of him because what you're seeing right now with La Familia, he was doing in that game. He is full speed the entire time.
- [07:41]
Matt Jones
We need him. And then Skinner, is that a person center? Who's the other guy on our team that was not on our team? No, I know Cantor Warwick. Who's that?
- [07:51]
Ryan Lemond
Marcus Work, he played at Henry Clay.
- [07:53]
Matt Jones
Okay.
- [07:54]
Ryan Lemond
Career scoring leader, went to Northern Kentucky.
- [07:56]
Matt Jones
Kentucky.
- [07:57]
Ryan Lemond
And last year played at Missouri and almost beat Kentucky with some big shots. He hit.
- [08:01]
Matt Jones
He's good on our team too.
- [08:02]
Shannon The Dude
He had like 18 in that game in Missouri.
- [08:04]
Matt Jones
Last year's brother was really good last year. He doesn't seem as good this year. Okay, I've only watched one game but anyway, here's what I love though, Shannon. What chaos these games are. Oh yeah, like no, no offense to the coaches, but they ain't doing a lot of coaching. Like people are just running up and down the court. It's like eight year olds playing basketball at the end of the game. Especially that sequence when it was 76. 76. And the next team that got three points. One.
- [08:34]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [08:34]
Matt Jones
Is the funniest basketball I have ever seen in my life because neither team was going to shoot anything but a three. No one was taking a two. And that Auburn got a rebound. The guy had a layup and just kicked it right back out for a three. He wouldn't shoot it and it was joyfully out of control. And I don't know if you saw the little game later in the night. The coaches were cussing out their players, the referees are mic'd up so we get to hear how idiotic they are during the game. They don't even know the rules during the game. They're not calling anything, Shannon. I mean people are hitting each other with a two by four and nobody's calling a thing.
- [09:13]
Drew Franklin
It's one step above street ball.
- [09:15]
Matt Jones
It's not even street ball it's people dribbling off their foot. They're tackling each other. There are things that happen on that court. If they happen on the street, you would be in trouble. And they're just letting it go. I find it drew glorious. And then I find myself, like, yelling at the screen, it's July. These people don't. These are just dudes that played here. And I'm going, khalil, you can't take that shot in that situation. Andrew Harrison. I thought that three was going in, in and out. I'm like, it was awesome. And then when Archie got the steal and the end one, first of all, as he shot it, I thought, oh, no. Because he hadn't been shooting free throws. Well, he's gonna have to shoot these free throws. And then it goes in. I went crazy. I loved it. Absolutely.
- [10:02]
Shannon The Dude
I get into it, too. I didn't find it as glorious. I was livid when they went to hero ball and we're taking turns jacking up threes. Sean Woods. I apologize for the things I was yelling at my tv. I couldn't believe. Especially when they had the lead, not when it got tied. They started a big lead with elamending all that size. And they completely quit going to the room and just getting so mad.
- [10:23]
Matt Jones
I was watching the Louisville team last night. Montrez Harrell is the best player in the league. No one could guard Montrez Harold. But the end of the game, they didn't even think about giving him the ball. Like, these random guys were trying to shake four people and shoot a three. They were playing a team called sideline cancer, which at first, Shannon, I think I thought was this. Teams are admitting that they are cancers to the team. But it was sideline cancer, not we are sideline cancer. Right?
- [10:50]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
- [10:51]
Matt Jones
They have a little dude who's balding, who's the best player I've ever seen. Did you see that?
- [10:56]
Shannon The Dude
I don't think he's balding. I think he's already there. I think he is bald.
- [10:59]
Matt Jones
He's not in the process stops and hits 40 footers and talks trash. He had a layup and he shot a three and baked it in off bat. That was amazing. So I'm just a huge fan of this. I'm a huge fan of watching it. I'm also just a huge fan of. It's clear. Like, the network is kind of into it, but not really into it. So Robbie Hummel, who called our game, he got in the car and went to Louisville. Shannon. And called two games that night. Yeah, he did the two games in Lexington and he left here. Our game ended at 5. He was there in Louisville at 7 for their game that night.
- [11:36]
Ryan Lemond
Pretty impressive.
- [11:37]
Matt Jones
That's pretty good timing to get from there.
- [11:39]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. I wonder if he had his own personal helicopter or something. But. Yeah, you know, in these TBTs you got guys that are in full jerseys who are coaching their team. Like that stuff you don't see anymore.
- [11:49]
Matt Jones
There was one game last night where they had the guy. Clearly there was a jersey that they ran out of jerseys and he had to wear it because it was way too tight. And he's like his belly button was showing because the jersey was too tight.
- [12:02]
Shannon The Dude
As funny as you think the Kentucky games are, we at least have the connections to the Harrisons. Willie, all the greats watch a random TPT game where you don't know anyone. And those are the fun ones when it's the bald guys versus the bald guys.
- [12:13]
Matt Jones
The other D.J. burns played last night, the one from NC State. The one from NC State, he has not been keeping in shape. I know that may not. That may surprise you, but he was fun. They had the guy from the NCAA tournament that carries the boombox. Yeah, he was in it. Wichita State has a guy that they call. It's not white. Mamba. Wheat Mamba. Because he's got hair that's blonde and they're the Shockers. His name. No, I'm.
- [12:43]
Shannon The Dude
I know.
- [12:43]
Matt Jones
Have you seen this guy?
- [12:44]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah, I watched a lot of tbc.
- [12:46]
Matt Jones
He. He was awesome. Like, I love it. And now I guess it's set up to where if we keep winning, we will host every game.
- [12:53]
Ryan Lemond
That's right.
- [12:53]
Matt Jones
Right.
- [12:54]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah. Since Louis got beat, we're now in place to kind of win Tuesday night. And then they gonna win the host.
- [12:59]
Matt Jones
So they play Tuesday night at 6:00'.
- [13:00]
Caller
Clock.
- [13:00]
Matt Jones
Yeah, I'm going.
- [13:02]
Ryan Lemond
We gotta go.
- [13:03]
Matt Jones
Everybody needs to go. Like it. Like it's. I. We had a pretty good crowd yesterday, but I. I don't know how much are the tickets? Are they a little expensive?
- [13:14]
Shannon The Dude
I mean, you can get in the door for cheap. I don't know exactly what's.
- [13:17]
Matt Jones
Whatever they are. They. People need to go because Tuesday night's gonna be fun. Now. I think that team, they play Tuesday night's pretty good.
- [13:22]
Shannon The Dude
Oh, we have beef. That's Archie's old team. He played for them for several years. He got them to the Final Four last year. He's a leading scorer. But then this year he said, sorry, guys, I'm going to La Familia. And then they got put in our region.
- [13:33]
Matt Jones
Wow.
- [13:36]
Drew Franklin
Didn't get the text message asking to be on La Familia's team last year. We found out that last, last week in the interview.
- [13:42]
Matt Jones
Let me say this about that and I'm not done talking about this. We're coming back. But your interview, both of yours, but you kind of let it. Ryan, the interview with Archie. I don't ever, you know, I don't listen to things when I'm gone. That's just. I. But people said, Matt, you need to listen to that. I thought you did an awesome job. I, I really, I mean that because you did better in that than I could have because, you know, sometimes I. This is going to shock people. I like to cut people.
- [14:11]
Ryan Lemond
No.
- [14:11]
Matt Jones
Now, no, no. I know people don't think that's true, Shannon, but I'm going to say it a little bit.
- [14:17]
Drew Franklin
It's a myth.
- [14:19]
Matt Jones
It is a myth. But you, you did exactly what you should do there, which is you let him talk, which allowed him to open up. And I thought his thing where he talked about that year he played here and how his role was not what he thought he'd be. I just thought it was, it was excellent. And I wanted to give you, both of you, kudos for that, but that really was, I thought that it was one of the best interviews that we've ever had on here. And I, you, you deserve credit for.
- [14:45]
Ryan Lemond
Well, I appreciate you saying that. Andrew and I talked about this. You could just see it in real time. He's working through some stuff that happened to him as an 18 year old kid that he had never talked about and never really.
- [14:54]
Matt Jones
I'm so proud of him.
- [14:56]
Ryan Lemond
Exactly.
- [14:56]
Matt Jones
Yes. And then he makes the shot and that was awesome. And he made the shot in such a perfectly Archy way. Running into three people, throwing it back, banking it off the glass like that's a. Such an Archie way to, to, to finish it too. So, so that was great. Also, both teams, Shannon, at the end of the game look like they're coached by John Cal Per.
- [15:18]
Drew Franklin
That is true.
- [15:19]
Matt Jones
Yeah. At the end of the games, none of them are running anything.
- [15:23]
Shannon The Dude
They're just, I mean, they literally both.
- [15:26]
Matt Jones
Both teams look like it was completely John Caliperi basketball. We'll take a break, come right back. KSI.

Matt Jones
The game Execution in the TBT Game A I can't believe I'm interested in this. B After watching Pope's team all year and see the Pacers watching everybody just standing around, it drove me crazy. It did me too. But in a great way.
- [16:48]
Ryan Lemond
Well, you explained exactly why the TBT tournament is successful. It's just that that Chaos street ball that you get.
- [16:55]
Matt Jones
Well, the Elam ending is also great. Yes, because they can't just hold the ball. So that happened in that Louisville game last night. The other team had a huge lead, but they just, they were. They you have to go score. You can't like wait. And I like that.
- [17:09]
Shannon The Dude
I enjoy the Elam ending in this format. I don't want anywhere else. I wouldn't want how like we saw yesterday, everyone completely forgets the concept of team basketball and they all want to hit the game winner.
- [17:20]
Matt Jones
I think it's hilarious. I think it's funny. Can I say a couple things about just also what it says to me about some bigger like okay, Ansley Almanor is on the team. Yeah, but like he doesn't get to play. Does that maybe give you a little more appreciation for what Pope did last year?
- [17:40]
Shannon The Dude
It does. I actually had this thought yesterday watching the game. It a showed me how good these pros still are that Ansley Aminor, who just play competitive basketball barely can get on the floor and although he did hit the game winner Saturday, hasn't even done much when he's on the court outside of that. But it shows. It's kind of tells how good these pros are and also shows what happened last year.
- [18:01]
Matt Jones
I think it shows. You know, I mean he's Mario's favorite player, but when I saw Ansley Almanar I was like, I don't know if this guy can play Kentucky. But the fact that. That Pope made him into a contributor on a very good team, I think it showcases to me that some of his coaching ability then. I mean, you know, a lot of these other teams, the dudes are the best players are only a couple years out of college and Almanor is. And he's not even playing.
- [18:28]
Ryan Lemond
I think it shows the brilliance of how he put that roster together. He. He knew Almanor wasn't going to be a starter, but he wanted a guy that could hit a three.
- [18:35]
Matt Jones
And it worked. And it worked, and it worked.
- [18:37]
Ryan Lemond
That's what his role was. And he played it, Played the role perfectly.
- [18:40]
Matt Jones
I do. I do genuinely love that Archie and Khalil Whitney are getting these moments. Yeah. Like getting to have these kind of the cheering at the. At Memorial and just. I'm just really. I just, you know, I'm a sucker for these guys. If you think about it, three out of the five or six biggest players are all guys who had hard experiences here. Archie, Khalil, and even Andrew Harrison to some extent. And for them to get all that love and that the fact that they would want to come back, I just think that's. I just think that's really co.
- [19:10]
Shannon The Dude
I was worried yesterday Archie was going to get the whole experience again when he was 1 for 9 from the free throw line. I was like, oh, no, no. We hugged Archie last week and it's gonna happen again. But he got the game winner. Yeah, I, I said, we did that interview. It doesn't matter what happens in this tournament. Archie's already had a successful week because he was able to. To. To explain himself. He's told Brian Ryan during the break. He said, I've waited 12 years to be able to explain my side of what. What didn't work out.
- [19:34]
Matt Jones
That. And listen, big shout out to the fans as well. I saw on social media you guys all reached out to him. His social media followers went up after that interview. So that's very cool. Now who do they play now?
- [19:47]
Ryan Lemond
I'm not sure who they play now.
- [19:48]
Drew Franklin
Ever line drive.
- [19:49]
Matt Jones
Archie's oldest ever line drive. Where is. What's an Eber line drive? Where are they?
- [19:55]
Drew Franklin
I have no idea who's.
- [19:56]
Matt Jones
What's ever lined.
- [19:58]
Ryan Lemond
I don't know that.
- [19:59]
Matt Jones
Everybody's just saying. Everybody's looking at me like, do you know one curious. But me, whatever. Like, I understand what it means to sideline cancer.
- [20:06]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [20:07]
Matt Jones
But what does it mean to be an Eber line drive?
- [20:09]
Shannon The Dude
I just know they've been a contender in this. Almost going back to the first few years. So they're no. They're no easy opponent. We can look over. But as far as where? Eberlin Drive, the street.
- [20:19]
Matt Jones
Who are these people?
- [20:20]
Shannon The Dude
I have no idea.
- [20:21]
Matt Jones
Who. Who brought them together? Who's there? 20 Beckham.
- [20:26]
Shannon The Dude
They have some recognizable names.
- [20:27]
Matt Jones
Okay.
- [20:28]
Shannon The Dude
But it's more of a Hodge.
- [20:29]
Matt Jones
Give me who the ever line drives.
- [20:30]
Shannon The Dude
Well, A.J. slaughter played at Western. Oh, Davion McKnight. Lexingtonian. Right.
- [20:36]
Matt Jones
Wait a minute. Are these all, like. Are these traitors to Kentucky? Davion McKnight. And by the way, AJ Slaughter and Davion McKnight, both former hey Kentucky guests.
- [20:46]
Ryan Lemond
Were they really?
- [20:47]
Matt Jones
Yes, they both were on the hey Kentucky set with me from here.
- [20:50]
Ryan Lemond
Mr. Basketball.
- [20:51]
Shannon The Dude
That. It's just a. It's not like one where they're attached to school. I mean, there's Iowa, Washington, Arkansas, Bellarmine, Providence.
- [20:58]
Matt Jones
Okay.
- [20:59]
Shannon The Dude
UC Irvine, Austin P. They're. They're from a little bit everywhere.

Drew Franklin
I've got your answer on why it's called Everland Drive. Says the team was named after the street in Frazier, Michigan, that co General manager Jacob Hirschman grew up on. So that's why it's called Pepper Line Drive. So, you know, if you were general manager, it could have been. Well, you don't want to say your street name, but whatever your street.
- [21:17]
Matt Jones
I mean, I could say my old street name.
- [21:18]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
- [21:19]
Matt Jones
Edgewood Road.
- [21:20]
Drew Franklin
See, that sounds like a good TBT name.
- [21:22]
Matt Jones
Actually, that would be a good name.
- [21:23]
Ryan Lemond
Edgewood Road.
- [21:24]
Matt Jones
La Familia versus Edgewood. All right, one thing. One more thing, and then I'm gonna move forward. Feel free to tell me I'm wrong about this. There's a part of me that wants us to change the name from Wa Familia.
- [21:37]
Drew Franklin
It feels very. Caliper is very.
- [21:40]
Matt Jones
Let me give you some of the other names. West Virginia, their team's called Best. Virginia. Love it.
- [21:47]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [21:47]
Matt Jones
Marshall Thundering Herd. Heard that.
- [21:51]
Ryan Lemond
Makes sense.
- [21:52]
Matt Jones
Wichita State, the Shockers, their team's called the Aftershocks. Huh?
- [21:57]
Shannon The Dude
Auburn war ready.
- [21:59]
Matt Jones
Auburn's war ready. Louisville's the Ville. I. We. I. I feel like I want something other than la familia. That's a cow thing, and it's fine, but, like, I want it to be something Kentucky.
- [22:14]
Shannon The Dude
Also, Cal's Italian, and we use the Spanish spelling of la familia, not the Italian.
- [22:18]
Matt Jones
I never noticed that.
- [22:19]
Shannon The Dude
I think Cal was going for more of the Italian approach, so we use the Spanish version.
- [22:23]
Matt Jones
So let me ask you this. 772-77-45254 on the text machine, if we were to change the name and make it something Kentucky again. Best Virginia. Aftershocks. Heard that. The Ville. What are we picking? Kentucky.
- [22:40]
Drew Franklin
Wintucky.
- [22:41]
Matt Jones
See, I thought Wintucky. Yeah, I thought Wintucky isn't bad. Maybe people don't like it. There are things that. There are things that rhyme with ucky that maybe we don't. We don't include in the name.
- [22:53]
Drew Franklin
We should go all in. Let's lean into that.
- [22:57]
Matt Jones
Blue balls.
- [23:01]
Ryan Lemond
Well, that's not different.
- [23:02]
Drew Franklin
Love it.
- [23:03]
Matt Jones
The Commonwealth.
- [23:05]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
- [23:06]
Matt Jones
Yeah. You don't like that?
- [23:07]
Ryan Lemond
You mentioned another one, though. That was pretty good.
- [23:09]
Matt Jones
We liked Wintucky.
- [23:11]
Ryan Lemond
There was another one that came in, like, right at the beginning. Oh, I can't remember what you said it was.
- [23:16]
Matt Jones
I don't either. Well, there's a lot of them. Catitude. These are gonna be. Just remember, we do these nicknames. We always put terrible names up.
- [23:26]
Shannon The Dude
My favorite thing we do.
- [23:27]
Matt Jones
And we do do that.
- [23:29]
Shannon The Dude
The worst, the better for me.
- [23:30]
Matt Jones
Yeah. Power K. Okay.
- [23:33]
Shannon The Dude
I think more football with Power K, but I don't hate it.
- [23:35]
Matt Jones
All right. I, I just think it would. That's just my take. All right. Before I want to go to the phones, but I, I, I've waited a long time, so, Shannon, I, I, I have to talk about the Coldplay couple. I know it's been a few days away, but I didn't get a chance to, like, really.
- [23:48]
Shannon The Dude
And it hadn't calmed down.
- [23:52]
Matt Jones
I have some strong thoughts about this, but let's just go through it real quick. I woke up Thursday morning, turned on my phone, saw it immediately, like, on a random TikTok. It had not blown up yet. And I thought, oh, this would be great if we were on the ra. If I was on the radio like this, this would be with. This would be great by the end of the day. I've never seen anything blow up. Like, harkened me back to a previous time in the Internet. I would even say, like, a pre Trump Internet, because now the Internet, it feels like 80% of the things we talk about are Trump related, pro or con. Right. And then it's also. People are so hateful to each other. Right. This felt like it was a pre. You know, it felt what Twitter was like in, like, the early 2010s when it was fun and the, like, mid to. Yeah, it felt like it was like, oh, let's make. Let's make funny pictures and jokes about things.
- [24:48]
Shannon The Dude
We're all coming together to watch together.
- [24:50]
Matt Jones
We're going to meme. Because it was such a perfect conglomeration of Absurdity. It's Coldplay of all bands. Shannon. Like if it's any band except Coldplay, I don't think it's as funny. But it's Coldplay. It's a CEO and the head of hr.
- [25:07]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [25:07]
Matt Jones
You know, not just two employees. Arguably the worst two employees you could have do it. The CEO and the head of hr.
- [25:15]
Ryan Lemond
Head of hr.
- [25:16]
Matt Jones
Right. By the way, that company was started in Cincinnati. Really? Did you know that? That's a Cincinnati company that then moved to New York?
- [25:23]
Ryan Lemond
Didn't know that.
- [25:25]
Matt Jones
The reaction. What. What did he think he was doing?
- [25:30]
Shannon The Dude
Took him so long.
- [25:31]
Matt Jones
I mean, he. He got on the floor like he had been shot.
- [25:37]
Shannon The Dude
He's looking for his contact.
- [25:38]
Matt Jones
I mean, he was like that meme of. Of Homer Simpson going into the bush.
- [25:42]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, yeah.
- [25:43]
Matt Jones
He just.
- [25:44]
Drew Franklin
He just melted.
- [25:45]
Matt Jones
Collapsed to the ground. Slowly, slowly. She turned around and looked like she was even laughing. He.
- [25:54]
Ryan Lemond
You've been shot.
- [25:55]
Matt Jones
He looked like Lee Harvey Oswald had taken him down.
- [25:59]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [26:00]
Shannon The Dude
He felt his bank account get cut in half.
- [26:02]
Matt Jones
Chris Martin, the singers got to be like, well, are they having an affair? Like, that did not help. No, it didn't.
- [26:08]
Ryan Lemond
That's what made it funny.
- [26:09]
Matt Jones
That did not help. It was a perfect storm of everything awful that could have happened in that scenario. So I have like three questions. Question one. If they had just acted normal, what happens, Shannon? What if they just act like they're a couple?
- [26:26]
Drew Franklin
No one would have recognized them and none of this would have been going on right now.
- [26:30]
Matt Jones
The guys from New York, okay, so that's important. The concerts in Boston, they're from New York. Can we all agree, if they don't collapse, nobody would have like. It wouldn't have gone viral.
- [26:42]
Ryan Lemond
Not like that.
- [26:43]
Matt Jones
Nobody would not have.
- [26:44]
Shannon The Dude
No one twice.
- [26:46]
Matt Jones
Nobody there. Somebody in the stadium might have known and maybe they still would have been done with their spouses, but it wouldn't have gone viral.
- [26:55]
Ryan Lemond
Not even close.
- [26:56]
Shannon The Dude
Even if somebody in the stadium knows, it takes someone actually uploading it to the Internet and that person to be filming. I don't think it gets out at all. If they just.
- [27:04]
Matt Jones
So if he just acts normal. Yeah. Here's the other thing I learned about this. They do this at every Coldplay concert. Coldplay puts up on the. Chris Martin apparently stands there and he sings about people in the crowd. So he'll do this intro and go, I want to say hello to the crowd. And he'll put a picture of somebody up and then he will make up a 30 second song about them. Okay. And he'll like seeing it when he starts that, Shannon, don't you have to let go of the person that you're on a mistress date with? Right. Isn't that a like go to the restroom moment?
- [27:45]
Drew Franklin
Oh, yeah, yeah, exactly. Unless they're not big fans and didn't realize that. But.
- [27:50]
Matt Jones
But if you watch the video, they had gone to somebody else first.
- [27:53]
Drew Franklin
So that is it. That is the stupidity of this entire thing. When you see that they're doing this, you're each other to go grab a.
- [28:00]
Matt Jones
Beer, get away from each other at that point. Right.
- [28:04]
Shannon The Dude
This tells me how bad they are hiding this. They're probably at the headquarters doing out in the open, if you know there's cameras going around and you think we're still just going to cuddle up, then you're just being reckless.
- [28:16]
Matt Jones
So was his reaction the natural reaction? Just fall to the ground.
- [28:20]
Ryan Lemond
When you're. When you're a CEO of $1 billion company and you're having an affair with the HR director and your wife's going to see it, I think you fall to the ground.
- [28:30]
Matt Jones
What did he think that was going to do?
- [28:32]
Drew Franklin
It's too late. They've already seen you at that point. And now the COVID up is worse than.
- [28:37]
Matt Jones
The COVID up is worse than the crime. The COVID up is why you went viral.
- [28:42]
Ryan Lemond
Do you think while he's headed down to the ground, he realizes, I just lost a billion dollars?
- [28:47]
Matt Jones
This is the part where I'm gonna say, I feel a little sorry for him. I know that's not gonna be a popular sentiment. They shouldn't have done it. Their spouses are obviously. That's the worst for them and their kids. I grant you all that. But I want you to think about the moment after it happened. They probably walked to leave and they're like, oh, no, this isn't going to be good.
- [29:14]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [29:14]
Matt Jones
But Shannon, they could have had no idea it was going to be what it was.
- [29:18]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
- [29:19]
Matt Jones
No, even in that moment, they could have never imagined. No. This is going to be everywhere. Right? Like, they. Like there's no way they could have imagined that. They had to think, oh, maybe our spouses are going to get told. But they could never have imagined they were going to be on every television show, every newspaper, every Internet that it was going to be. It's around the world. Okay. It was in the newspaper in India. I saw it. Like, they shut. Like they could have drew. They could have never fathomed that that would happen.
- [29:57]
Shannon The Dude
In that moment, they're probably thinking, at worst, one of our friends was here.
- [30:01]
Matt Jones
Yes.
- [30:02]
Shannon The Dude
Gonna get Back when you get our.
- [30:04]
Matt Jones
We need to get our.
- [30:05]
Shannon The Dude
They probably didn't think that the Phillies mascots would be reenacting them at a game two days later. Or that I think I saw Morgan Wallen say, hey, we're gonna do a kiss cam if you're having an affair. Like, how about stuff.
- [30:15]
Matt Jones
I mean, I know I'm. I'm like, I know newspapers aren't as big a deal, but how about the COVID the New York Post with you on the front and the headline dumbo Tron. Oops. Did you. Could they have imagined that was going to happen?
- [30:30]
Drew Franklin
You know, normally these Things last for 24 hours. 24 hour news cycle legs and is still being talked about the next week.
- [30:37]
Matt Jones
And you know, people will move on. But that picture is going to be used forever.
- [30:43]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah, there's already been so many memes made.
- [30:46]
Matt Jones
I mean, the one from the office with Dwight. True. And Pam was one of my favorite things. But forever, when you're talking about something happening and you're wanting to, like, hide it, they're going to show that picture forever.
- [30:58]
Ryan Lemond
Oh, yeah.
- [30:59]
Matt Jones
Go ahead.
- [31:00]
Drew Franklin
How quickly your life can change in an instant.
- [31:03]
Matt Jones
Shannon, you're reading my mind. This has been something that has, like always been on my mind forever. And I've talked about it on this show. Sometimes how your life can change like that and it's never the same, ever. And it can be amazing. It can be terrible. Right. It can be serious, like someone passes away or it can be funny or whatever. They'll never, like, get over this, like, ever. They can't get a job. You think the HR lady. No one's gonna. She can't be in HR ever again, can she?
- [31:46]
Ryan Lemond
Not as an HR person, ever. Who would hire her?
- [31:49]
Shannon The Dude
It's probably the worst thing you can do. Is the head of HR have an.
- [31:53]
Ryan Lemond
Affair with the CEO.
- [31:55]
Matt Jones
So what would you do? Let's say. Okay, so two questions. I know I'm going long, but I can't help.
- [32:00]
Ryan Lemond
It's worth it.
- [32:00]
Matt Jones
This is huge. Two questions. Ryan, you're a great friend. Let's say the man is your friend. Do you call him?
- [32:08]
Ryan Lemond
Oh, yeah.
- [32:08]
Matt Jones
How long would it have taken you to reach out to him?
- [32:11]
Ryan Lemond
Probably as soon as I saw it.
- [32:12]
Matt Jones
So what would you have said? Like, because you're as good a friend as I know. What. What do you say to your friend? I think his first name was Andy. What do you say to your friend?
- [32:22]
Ryan Lemond
I probably said, hey, man, look. Said you got to get out in front of this and you know, your wife first.
- [32:27]
Matt Jones
Are you Going to, like, sympathize with him?
- [32:30]
Ryan Lemond
No.
- [32:31]
Matt Jones
You're not gonna be nice if it's.
- [32:33]
Ryan Lemond
Out there, like, you know, I don't think so. If I'm, if he's my good friend, like, man, so you got to get out in front of this. You need to go have a talk with your wife right now.
- [32:40]
Matt Jones
Okay. But that, that ship sailed. Like, what, what would you tell. You wouldn't say, hey, man, I'm here for you. You would. I thought I would think you would try to come.
- [32:49]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, I would definitely do that. Also, I thought you meant, like, what advice would I give him? But, yeah, I would say, man, look, you need to. Need a place to stay, go stay on my couch for a couple days.
- [32:58]
Matt Jones
Would you suggest that they should, Shannon? Like, should they. He hasn't even made a statement. Like, should they. Should they do an interview?
- [33:05]
Shannon The Dude
Like, what statement? Didn't he.
- [33:07]
Matt Jones
That was fake. That was fake? Yeah.
- [33:09]
Shannon The Dude
Not the one coding Coldplay. I thought he actually had a real statement.
- [33:12]
Matt Jones
Oh, I haven't seen one.
- [33:14]
Drew Franklin
Right.
- [33:15]
Matt Jones
He resigned.
- [33:16]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. I believe that's real news.
- [33:17]
Matt Jones
But what would you have him do? Should. Like, what? What would it. Should he do an interview on Good Morning America? Like, what should he do?
- [33:24]
Drew Franklin
But what good is that going to do? I mean, I don't know. I think it's already done. The damage has been done.
- [33:29]
Ryan Lemond
You've already embarrassed your wife and your kids. You're gonna just keep embarrassing them over and over and over.
- [33:33]
Drew Franklin
Nothing you can do at this point.
- [33:34]
Matt Jones
All right, so do you feel sorry for them? No.
- [33:38]
Shannon The Dude
Not even a little bit?
- [33:39]
Drew Franklin
No. No, no, no.
- [33:41]
Shannon The Dude
I mean, if you're the head of a billion dollar company and you've got a life you love and you don't want to lose that, I think sleeping with head of hr, you've got dug your own grave.
- [33:50]
Ryan Lemond
I do not feel sorry for him at all.
- [33:52]
Matt Jones
But I, I'm really, I'm surprised about that.
- [33:55]
Ryan Lemond
The only feel I feel sorry for him is the fact, you know, they went to a Coldplay concert just to enjoy themselves for the evening and ended up did. Our lives were.
- [34:01]
Matt Jones
Can I give you just a little. Yeah. Okay. This is my little case for feeling a little sorry for. We all know people that have cheated on their spouse.
- [34:10]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [34:11]
Matt Jones
Okay, all of us, everyone listening to this show know somebody that's done that. Those people didn't have their lives to have this tap into them, not even close. So you can't even have a little bit of sympathy for that. I, I. Because I mean, you know, you know, a person that did this. The only difference between them and this one is, is the Coldplay piece.
- [34:36]
Shannon The Dude
But I wouldn't have sympathy for them either. If they got caught at a Coldplay concert cuddled up during Kiss Cam, I.
- [34:41]
Matt Jones
Would have to never get another job.
- [34:44]
Drew Franklin
I mean this guy doesn't need another job, does he?
- [34:46]
Matt Jones
Okay, but, but fair enough.
- [34:48]
Shannon The Dude
The job's gonna look stream with examples of people we know. I mean I don't know any CEOs sleeping with the HR. I'm just saying if someone is that dumb with a Kiss Cam to do it in public, I don't have sympathy for them.
- [34:57]
Ryan Lemond
Here's my I have a little sip.
- [35:00]
Matt Jones
I, I don't have sympathy for their act and I, and I have more sympathy for the kids, et cetera. But like this is a pretty harsh punishment for these people. I mean they're going to be a meme forever.
- [35:12]
Ryan Lemond
It looked like they were in maybe in a suite. So their suite had to be probably former co workers like other co workers.
- [35:17]
Matt Jones
There's other pictures of them that it that it looks like because they, they thought the woman next to him was their co worker. She was not.
- [35:24]
Shannon The Dude
The company said no one else.
- [35:25]
Matt Jones
She was. It was just a random woman that happened to be there.
- [35:28]
Ryan Lemond
Gotcha.
- [35:29]
Drew Franklin
Let that be a lesson. Should have went to a Motley Crue show. They have a different kind of cam.
- [35:32]
Ryan Lemond
Yes they do.
- [35:34]
Matt Jones

Just calling to check in and tell you some kind of what I consider bad news. I hate to bring your show on this part, but I just found out last week that I have brain cancer, and I'm the biggest cat fan ever. Just recently got season tickets. So I'm gonna try to enjoy my life till I die. But I just want to let you know, guys, please say a prayer for me, and hopefully I maybe make it a few more years to City cats win a few more, but it's gonna be tough.

New name for the.

Matt Jones
Wow. The team, I would think with blue Kentucky. Blue Cat. See, here we go. Shannon, the name is it Blue Cat, Tucky Tucky. I appreciate that's. I did. That's a little bit.
- [39:00]
Shannon The Dude
Everything.
- [39:00]
Matt Jones
A lot of syllables.
- [39:01]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
- [39:02]
Matt Jones
Mario, you didn't like that one as much. You wouldn't like Blue Cat, Ducky. Blue Cat, go Blue.
- [39:13]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah.
- [39:14]
Drew Franklin
That's why I love these, like, suggestions for names because they're all terrible with the exception of like a couple.
- [39:19]
Matt Jones
Well, remember the greatest one, though. Remember when we were trying to name the 2015 team Devastation Incorporated. Devastation Incorporated.
- [39:26]
Ryan Lemond
People bringing that back.
- [39:29]
Matt Jones
That was. It was terrible. It was so good. Noah, go ahead. Noah.
- [39:35]
Caller
Hey, guys. So I guess you can say for it. So we all know, obviously we give credit to Caliper during his era for getting us that championship in 2012. There's also a lot of flack on the other side for the fact that there was at least three years we could think of easily from the John Wallen Boogie era. The first year, the Harrison twins on the first round of the championship and then the year after with Towns, Booker and all of them. So we could have easily be at the point where we could be tied with UCLA in championships. Can you guys think of another year outside of those that it should have been an easy go?
- [40:10]
Matt Jones
Well, I mean, should have been is a different thing. All right, so I think if you play the Calipari years over, we probably win two titles. I think we. We. I think Caliperi, with all he did, should have won two, could have won three, ended up with one. I think there were three years that we were definitively the best team. 2012, 2010 and 2015, we were the best team. You don't always win it when you're the best team. So I think it is fair to say we should have won two of those three. But we won one. But then 2011 and 2014 we nearly won and I don't think we were one of the. I don't even know if we were one of the best teams. And we nearly won both those times, but we didn't win. And then I would throw in 2017 as another team that was good enough to win a national championship. I don't think we were the best team. I actually think we lost to the best team. Appreciate the call who won the title, but I think he had six years. When you consider 10, 12, 15, the amazing runs we did in 11 and 14, and then the talent on 17 that we had six legitimate national title contender teams.

I agree. And one that's not on that tier. I still think we Forget how close 2019 could have been and should have been if they just beat Auburn because that wasn't a tough final four. I think Virginia won that year. Yeah, they lose to an Auburn game that's missing their best player. When you're heavy favorite.

I think that's finals was Virginia and Texas mean Auburn lose their best player. You could make an argument. We should have been right there.
