Shannon
Let'S be my baby tonight be my.
Matt Jones
I can love you like that yeah that's a good one letters from home which i think is actually a beautiful underrated song like a military song people writing letters i i thought that song i that's one of my favorites i'd forgotten about that one anyway he will he will be here at eleven o' clock to promote his concert he's going to have at rupp arena we got a full house today media day is friday for uk football and we have a lot of various things i want to talk about but i want to start with one thing that just happened to me this morning went to went to my mcdonald's right okay how's that been going it's been going good i mean that mcdonald's and i are going well and you know there's there's usually you go you order and there's an older guy that takes the money very good he's quick he's efficient no nonsense shannon no conversation takes the card four hundred two hands it right back next car next car bam sometimes he'll go have a good day but it's like a stern have a good day it's not a happy it's like a move.
Unknown
Along have a good day it is.
Matt Jones
It'S like okay we've had enough of you get out get out of here and i'm for it because the efficiency is is part of it today the way it wasn't as crowded he was not there so first of all a little thrown off different person that's okay people need days off right they gotta have other things they gotta have other things going on i pull up this guy looks at me doesn't this is important doesn't say hello no greeting at all younger guy he just looks at me and says what if i'd known at five years old what i know now can you imagine that that was the first thing he said never seen this person before in my life i am rarely speechless i didn't know what to say about that does he mean generally what if we knew when we were five years old or him specifically what if he knew what he knows now at five years old i don't know him i don't know what he knows and he looks at me kind of waiting for a reaction this is as if shannon we've been in a conversation for a long time we've never seen each other before to my knowledge and i just look at him and i go that would be amazing and he was like yes it would and then he just hands me my card back and i thought about it ever since i didn't know what else to say to him i guess it would be amazing but what it i thought it was interesting to just out of nowhere just say that to someone and this isn't a complaint he's had me thinking for thirty minutes what if that guy had known what he knows now when he was five years old who.
Shannon
Knows i think it's brilliance on his part he probably does it to everybody this morning that came through the drive.
Matt Jones
Thru you think he does that to.
Unknown
Everybody he's probably got a variety of.
Shannon
Questions yeah and you just happen to be the five year old question the guy behind you got a different question.
Matt Jones
That'S an interesting question so you say instead of just saying hello have a nice day he's trying to spice it up with interesting comments you know when.
Unknown
You started the story i thought he was gonna be kind of a psycho now that i'm thinking about it and stolen your brain i kind of like the move and i've worked drive through it can be very boring just same thing over and over i like that he's probably trying to keep the job fun mix it up a little bit so even though it probably threw you off quite a bit i like his.
Matt Jones
Move i also think though if you had a five year old who knew everything a thirty five year old would do that would be a maladjusted child i think he would have a hard time shannon interacting with the world if he had a brain of a thirty five year old in a five year.
Unknown
Old body it'd be a real problem in kindergarten there's no doubt about it.
Matt Jones
He would he could just look at the kids and go yeah the teacher would go what did you like to be i want to be a singer and this guy be like there's no chance that's happened just so you understand being a singer in today's society is very difficult did he mean just general.
Unknown
Thinking of a thirty five year old or specifics like i would invest in nvidia or i know who's going to.
Matt Jones
Win the super bowl i'll bet on it wasn't somebody behind me i probably would have continued the conversation so that was that was good and i needed it because last night during the reds game i nearly well let me tell you how angry was at the end of the reds game okay and this you think this is a joke ryan it's not a joke i was so mad at the end of the reds game last night i nearly called the post game oh my i nearly was matt from lexington okay awesome really lance mcallister almost got a call from me i was so frustrated by it i was so frustrated by we had the dodgers beat and then he substitute tito substitutes jake fraley for for santiago espinal and connor joe who's a nice guy but he should be he should be like selling t shirts there's no reason for him to be on the team substitute substitutes marte for connor joe both marte and fraley had hit a home run earlier in the game took them out got gavin lux in left field who plays it like mario would i mean it's just it's just a disaster we end up losing the game five to four graham ashcraft and his stupid goatee can't throw strikes and next thing you know we lose and i was very upset most upset i've been in a baseball game maybe ever wow well because i mean i don't watch you know i don't care and i don't but see that they they re they reeled me in after sweeping the race six games above five hundred they start reeling me in and then they're up four to two in the seventh and it all falls apart and i almost called the postgame show i was going to go lance and then i was going to say can you hear me.
Shannon
First time.
Matt Jones
Lance can you hear me and then i was going to do the thing i almost did it last.
Shannon
Night you should have done it but now you got it you're so fired up you said you may go tonight because shohei's going to pitch i have.
Matt Jones
To go tonight show his pitching when am i going to see like i mean he the dodgers are here once a year sometimes you don't even get shohei in the rotation right so like this is the one chance to see him i i i've seen him hit but like this might be the best player of all time part of it is because he hits and he pitches so if if it's going to pitch but now we're gonna lose we're picking pitching nick martinez who throws as bad as shannon did last night for the legends and so i mean we have to go i have to go but i'm i'm frustrated shohei is one of.
Unknown
Those athletes if they're anywhere near you and you have the opportunity you know this is like a generational talent you.
Matt Jones
Have to go see it who have been the athletes in our lives that if they if you have a chance to see them you have to in our lives all right michael jordan absolutely magic johnson yeah larry bird lebron those are the basketball okay maybe steph throw steph in there kobe okay i'll take that all right so that's your basketball ones football i don't think football guys resonate like that like the team is what you want to see but to the extent you would want to see him tom brady patrick mahomes joe montana.
Shannon
Before all these off the field stuff i felt that way about brett favre i went to watch brett favre one.
Matt Jones
Time but i mean he was not you might it's because you liked him but i don't know that he's that special you're right that football doesn't give you that individual thing it feels like it's more of a team you know they're wearing their helmets for some reason football doesn't work that with me it's basketball and then baseball okay barry bonds i wanted to see first of all i wanted to see sosa mcguire hit home runs yes i drove up to chicago when the when saint louis played chicago and they went against each other i didn't know you did that i was that was the game where sosa passed mcguire for the lead and then mcguire passed him back in the same game that was awesome that's one of the best sporting events i've been to sosa mcguire barry bonds and then shohei.
Shannon
Right it is right now is there.
Matt Jones
Another one in your life that you can think of i just want to say i've seen him no there's a.
Unknown
Lot of great players but you're talking about doing everything you can when they're near you at all to go see them and just lay eyes on you.
Matt Jones
Would have tiger yeah oh for sure i think he's the only one in golf in my lifetime yeah you and i saw federer nadal in tennis and that was kind of a cool like special thing seeing those two especially head to head even djokovic didn't do it for me like the two of them did even though he might end up being a better player is serena in the tennis conversation serena is in the tennis conversation for sure anybody else is there anybody else you can think of like i have to go see them do their craft.
Unknown
Not really i mean i think of like girls and caitlin clark that we're getting there with caitlin.
Matt Jones
Clark there's another one i don't know that i would drop it i would if i if i knew that i could i know she's not far away in theory i guess i could but if i knew that caitlin clark was playing in louisville or lexington i'd be like i kind of have to go to go to that yeah she's entering.
Shannon
That realm for sure see i when i was a kid you know it was nolan ryan pete rose those guys.
Matt Jones
Rose i'm sure was like that for a certain that's a little before my time but i can see that you.
Shannon
Saw him play at least i mean.
Matt Jones
Show a's pitching you almost have to go i think you have to and it would be nice to sort of be able to contrast the greatness i'm gonna see tonight with what shannon did last night at the baseball what i.
Unknown
Did last night first of all first.
Matt Jones
Of all i heard you and billy were about to fight today is that true no absolutely not well he was saying that you're the worst pitcher that's.
Unknown
Ever pitched who billy was saying that.
Matt Jones
Well i think he said on the.
Unknown
Show i think billy's just upset because nobody asked him to throw out a first pitch and if they did nobody would care so i think maybe that's why he was a little upset wow.
That right there was kind of the first segment of the pre show i was listening there there was a little bit of a it was like my.
Matt Jones
Parents were fighting cool you got asked to throw out the first pitch that's.
Unknown
Awesome yeah thanks to likes and legends.
Matt Jones
For having us yes and then but you did i was told on the text machine you tell me if this is right you were registered on the machine as twenty seven point four miles.
Unknown
They didn't have the radar gun even going first of all i did throw from the mound from the rubber but.
Matt Jones
You didn't throw from the rubber yes i did well the picture i saw you were there's some pictures mario has.
Unknown
Pictures stuff out there there's a lot.
Matt Jones
Of mario has pictures where it looks like you're two or three feet in front of the rubber mario would you.
Unknown
Like to pull the pictures up incorrect.
Matt Jones
Okay all right i i feel like i saw them but go ahead you you were you were through from the.
Unknown
Rubber and if you look right here you can see the first video there that's the actual video you'll see that i'll throw it right down the middle a perfect strike billy looks to me.
Matt Jones
Though that's like okay here first of all i'm gonna look at the picture for mario i see i see you at least two or three feet in.
Unknown
Front of the you are wrong sir.
Matt Jones
So did you take a running start is that why you're in front of.
Unknown
The rubber can you not are you not able to see put those glasses.
Matt Jones
On i know you got that's the first time i've seen okay so that angle and then it looked like it bounced did it not bounce no that.
Unknown
Is an ai video ai is getting crazy these days it really is like ai is getting really good this is the first video that existed and then twenty minutes later mysteriously this other video this altered video came out and ryan's trying to spread false information and it's okay if it makes you feel good about yourself ryan to do that but you know the first you were there.
Matt Jones
Live how would you judge i was.
Shannon
There live i had a camera behind home plate my video is as accurate as anything you're going to see it bounced in front of the plate corey price has now tweeted out a picture showing that it bounced in front of the plate it was such a bad pitch it was such a bad pitch the catcher couldn't even catch it the guy behind the plate the professional baseball.
Unknown
Player was so bad player and cannot reach out and grab the ball i.
Matt Jones
Mean what you're blaming the catcher i.
Unknown
Mean he was set up twenty feet behind home plate no obviously not he's.
Shannon
Right behind right behind home play looking.
Matt Jones
At corey price's picture that is strike this is not you laying on the ground at the end of wrestlers embarrassing.
Unknown
But it's up not embarrassing at all first of all everybody's like you're a former college baseball player yeah twenty years ago dude all right it wasn't two years ago and a torn rotator cuff i mean come on are you saying.
Matt Jones
You have a torn rotator cuff now.
Unknown
I think i still have some lingering.
Matt Jones
Effects okay all right well that would make some sense as to why this.
Unknown
Looks so bad of my first pitch and i don't care it was awful.
Shannon
It was one of alan stein for the legend said it's one of the worst first pitches they've ever had in the history of their franchise you know.
Unknown
What you keep talking you keep getting chesty i wasn't going to do this but i have some information here i've got a little ammo of my own from ten years ago when you threw out a first pitch and i'm going to tweet it out for everybody to see right now you want me to do that you want to keep talking.
Shannon
It'S awful talking it's pretty bad ryan.
Matt Jones
Yours is worse than shannon i was.
Shannon
Trying to throw it as hard as i could and i threw my shoulder out you watch me walk off the.
Matt Jones
Field i can't even yeah he literally hurt himself it almost went the crowd.
Unknown
I think the the wall back shannon.
Matt Jones
You should put that out that's the.
Unknown
Worst throw of all time said mine was bad twenty times worse yeah this.
Matt Jones
Is baba boo so that leaves me.
Unknown
And you matt is the only two that have gotten it there at legends.
Matt Jones
Games i got it there i got it there i got it there didn't we all three throw it when we.
Unknown
All did it we did it well.
Matt Jones
We did it well you didn't do.
Unknown
It you threw at the same time from the rubber huh how did that.
Matt Jones
Happen well it's a big rubber we brought our own rubber well you didn't throw it from the rubber either i just want to see so shannon was.
Shannon
On the rubber the picture you're seeing i think is on the follow through he was actually on the rubber three.
Matt Jones
Feet in front of the rubber on.
Shannon
The follow through you know you take a step towards home plate and you're.
Matt Jones
You know and you end up falling off of home plate fall off the rubber still out of base i don't think shohei's gonna fall off of home.
Shannon
Plate watch him after releases the ball he's a foot or two in front.
Matt Jones
Of the rubber okay yeah eight five nine two eight zero twenty two eighty.
Unknown
Seven now all of a sudden ryan's coming around on my side a little.
Matt Jones

Unknown
Yeah if i could go back i'd probably not even bother trying to play basketball i wasted my time a lot of chasing sports i would have focused on things i probably would have had a better chance who knows i could have been uk's kicker if at a young age i just started kicking field.
Matt Jones
Goals other athletes people say bo jackson that would be one that i would when especially when he was at his prime when he was able to just do both so well that would have been nice usain bolt oh my goodness yes i i think being i've never been at one but being at like an olympic hundred meters would be amazing like if it was one of those big ones right like a same boat.
Shannon
Mike tyson yes that's another good one.
Matt Jones
That'S got to be one yeah i mean in in that moment yeah it would have been something to be in a tyson fight right one of his.
Unknown
Last ones was actually in louisville but.
Matt Jones
He lost yeah but i'm not talking about that one i'm talking about when he was mike tyson when he was like walking in and like a scary dude i think that would have been.
Unknown
Great i have one that i just did two summers ago i went to nashville to see messi when he was.
Matt Jones
In miami messi great one and it.
Unknown
Was the one goal or one game didn't score a goal like the whole.
Matt Jones
Season one person for young women simone biles i could see during that period when the gymnasts like mary lou retton or one of those people and i could see certainly i could see for certain people because you know i mean when they do these gymnastics events at memorial people are losing their mind i.
Shannon
Think muhammad ali i didn't even i saw him after he retired just seeing him in person like oh my goodness.
Matt Jones
That'S a legend that uk football game dale earnhardt ellen heart's a good one i saw dale earnhardt that would have been yeah so these are all good there's maybe more than i realized but shohei you know an hour yeah from.
Shannon
Definitely in the category i'm gonna i'm.
Matt Jones
Not gonna boo i'm going to respectfully clap before we lose i bet there's.
Shannon
A big crowd tonight too for this.
Matt Jones
Game oh the tickets if i was going to sell these i mean make.
Unknown
A little cash premium pricing tonight right.
Matt Jones
Oh it's great like the the the tickets i sold my money night tickets for a lot of money last night a little less but tonight if i.
Shannon
Wanted to sell them yeah i bet.
Matt Jones
It would be absurd but for ones.
Unknown
Like this do you ever consider selling your single and just sitting with the.
Matt Jones
Person you sold to no but i mean if you could make like but.
Unknown
Something extreme where you can make a.
Matt Jones
Stranger i mean you're probably going to.
Unknown
Sit by a stranger anyway when it.
Matt Jones
Comes to prices at reds games for selling them without question if you get a weekend game against the yankees or the red sox i ain't going no i mean a weekend game against the yankees i can get a grand for my tickets or more red sox are close if the cubs are good when the cubs are good you can get along yeah i always look as soon as the schedule comes out dodgers yankees red sox are they here and is it on a weekend because during the week it's not as much but if you get them on a saturday and then and then i had a my my buddy and i had a conversation about what team gets the worst like who brings the fewest fans to a cincinnati game and i think i've seen them all play i think the team that brings the fewest fans is the arizona diamondback yeah gotta be in the comments because they come here a lot the padres actually have some really they come here a lot because they come here every year and they don't have any fans tampa bay is pretty bad too yeah that's why i always give billy tickets because that doesn't matter and then and then the marlins those are the ones that like you can't you.
Shannon
Can'T give away i bet tonight there's as many dodger fans as reds fans there tonight wouldn't there be anything with.
Matt Jones
Shows of show hey a lot of reds i think it's gonna be full i'm just gonna i think it's gonna be absolutely full tonight eight five nine two eight zero twenty two eighty seven all right before we go to the ask anything wednesday little basketball scoop jack pilgrim got some practice info and i got similar to him i guess sometimes i think uk people just decide all right we're going to let people have a little info because it seems like everybody gets them on the same day but really not a huge change but a lot of things that we've heard here's the good news okay jalen lowe is going in the direction that we want him to go yeah like he is if he's not it's either going to be him or away is the best player and i think he's going to be the leading score i think best player will be in the eyes of the beholder but from what i understand like taking to the pope system playing under control and people are saying what they hoped this was the exact quote given to me what we hoped jalen lowe will be he might even be a little bit better wow i.
Unknown
Like that you know we'll start to see it here in november but i like that it sounds like his floor is pretty high because when we got him he wasn't the first option he was a pit whereas efficiency numbers weren't great but so far it sounded like he's in a great spot as you're saying and any concerns and maybe not panning out or even being like a bust or something it's looking like he's.
Matt Jones
Going to be good we know always going to be then the other sort of universal thing is that trit noah is the best shooter on the team it was said to me he will not start but he is going to force himself to be played with how well he's shooting the ball which is.
Shannon
Great you know when we started talking about the roster early on who we were worried about him being tenth eleventh twelfth guy i think the fact now he's earned the right and earned respect where he's going to be on the floor plane mainly because he's be our one of our best shooters remember he.
Matt Jones
Still don't have jaden quite as yet now to the extent there's a negative and i always hesitate to do this because you don't but there is some say concern but there is some is brandon garrison going to take a step up and i think there is some concern with the team of between brandon garrison and moreno and our slovenian who's not here yet are we going to have a five or a parts of five that we can rely on i think that's going to be the worry this year we take for granted how much we could rely on amari last year i do think there's a look because that five is a huge position in mark pope's offense and i think there's a little concern of hey has brandon taken the step up that we.
Unknown
Need him and i worry you know we we joked last year it's brandon garrison time because sometimes he calls on number i worry that now he has a bigger opportunity and he's trying to fill amari's shoes if he's going to try to do too much i think they really need to keep him in a role that he can thrive in rebounding if he can play defense like he did in oklahoma last year that's good but i worry about him trying.
Matt Jones
To do too much good stuff for mohammed dbate good stuff from aberdeen i think they want to see a little more from cam williams in terms of they think he's got potential to be great they want to see him kind of get a little bit take another step up but what makes me excited is i don't think this team can be great without jalen low being great and it sounds like those steps are happening and that makes me very happy.
Shannon
He'S got to be good for this.
Matt Jones
Team to be good i think he's got to be great for this team to be good eight five well to be great they can be good with him but like to be great eight five nine two eight zero two two eight seven we'll be right back tj.
Ryan Seacrest
Smith personal injury attorney call tj he'll.

Shannon

Matt Jones

Matt Jones
Filled so we appreciate it so we'll be and we'll we'll try that's nice of you clay go ahead clay hey.
Unknown
Matt i want you to tell me where i'm confused because i'm gonna skip i'm gonna go to football here okay we have this is the most depth that we've ever had on a kentucky football team that's four four and five wins you know i'm thinking about wait.
Matt Jones
Why do you say it why do you just okay are you are you being silly are you being real i'm.
Unknown
Being i'm being i'm there's not a smile on my face here all right.
Matt Jones
So why do you think we have depth what are you basing that on tell me who our second string no let me let me tell me who our second string linebackers are i think.
Unknown
I mean.
Matt Jones
I can't get i appreciate the call eight five nine two eight zero two two eight seven i mean i i we don't have depth depth is the problem we we don't have depth we we might might have a good starting group we'll see i'm i'm a little skeptical but there's an argument that with the portal and with the guys moving up we might have a pretty good starting group i think we at wide receiver but i don't know if that depth is that everybody's good or everybody's just the same yeah and i think we might have some depth in the secondary but i don't know if it's that everybody's good or everybody's just the same but we do not have depth on say the offensive line we do not have depth on the defensive line and that's part of the concern we might have a first string that works but we'll have to see.
Shannon
About the rest yeah the defense i think they are very happy with the first string guys but i think the concern is kind of contradictory that guy said there's not a there's kind of a lack of depth you mentioned who's the backup linebackers are i have no idea i can't think of one guy.
Matt Jones
As a backup why can't either and that would have been the thing shannon he could have said any names i might have said yes that's right.
Unknown
All.
Matt Jones
He would have had to say was you know andrew smith is showing some great i might have been like well i mean that's plausible he just said.
Unknown
Smith he's good there got a couple of them i will add the running back we're going to have some depth there because last year wilcox and patterson were two of the options and now they're fighting for third and fourth so the running back room did add some.
Matt Jones
Who are who are the starters in.
Unknown
The running back yeah nebraska yeah down el from nebraska and then they got.
Matt Jones
The mcgowan supposed to be good right and mcgowan's from where he's kind of.
Unknown
Bounced around he even took like he came from juco had a year off with some issues but he's he's here now and stoops raved about him he'll probably be the two but those are that's a pretty good one two punch and then wilcox who was good last.
Matt Jones
Year'S confident because they are talking like they're confident i mean obviously bush hamden said the thing about the offensive line but even stoops you know you said i mean do you buy that do you think it's false bravado do you think they're just like do you think they're just i think they feel better.
Shannon
About this roster because they cleaned up some things that need to be cleaned up you know we talked about the culture some guys maybe not getting effort in the classroom and then look at the film room and that kind of thing i think i think you think.
Matt Jones
They look in the mirror the coaches and go this team is good this team is good yeah but you think.
Shannon
They believe it i think they believe it i think the schedule is not friendly but i think they believe they.
Matt Jones
Got a good team okay well i mean but i mean that's hard to have you ever thought they didn't believe they had a good team though true i mean you know i don't we'll.
Shannon
Find out early like we found out early last year that there were some issues going on with that team last year i think we'll find out i.
Matt Jones
Do think that i will say this i don't know how much i think they're going to be better than last year i don't know that their record will be significantly better right i do think though one thing i feel confident about i do think the chemistry problems last year it will be better this year i do too do you agree.
Unknown
With that absolutely we're already hearing that too even it's a small thing but stoop santa freshman was late early in the summer and that coaches didn't have to say a word the players jumped on him like we're not late here.
Matt Jones
That'S good a year ago that wouldn't have happened it is impossible to overstate how bad the culture got and as the season went on it got awful but also i think they had just let it slip and so now that stuff is good to hear now what it turns into on the field we're going to have to see you know nothing says summer like long days what do you think show hey strikeouts are going to be tonight he's got to pitch a lot he'll only pitch like four i'll go seven seven what do you think nine i'm going to go i'm going to go six but you can bet on draftkings sportsbook app for a major league baseball game ellie hits he gets one almost every game showy struck out four times last night by the way did you say the strikeout where his eyes got big you need to look at that video lodolo throws a pitch that like it baffles him and his eyes he looks like what like he saw a ghost look at my twitter i have it's amazing go to draftkings sportsbook use the code ksr get one hundred fifty in bonus bets when you bet just dollar five only on draftkings the crown is yours if you have a game problem call one eight hundred gambler eighteen plus kentucky only eligibility supply new customers only bonus specs by one hundred sixty eight hours after issuance just no terms responsible gaming resources dkng co audio you see that like he he the ball like falls off a cliff and then he just go he's like it's like he's never seen anything like it what happened right there we'll take a break be right back.

Matt Jones
Business i'll just dance on the boat you hang on the boat somebody's got to hold this down yes exactly you'll float off if i don't do it one person says matt i've listened to you interview people for many years i think your josh hopkins interview was the best one i've ever heard him talking about rust was made me cry and him talking about uk basketball made me sing with joy i don't know about singing but i i do think it's one of the best things we've done i mean he talked about you know he was literally on the set when alec baldwin accidentally shot the and he talked about what happened that day you know and i don't want to spoil it but mario you were here was i mean it was like amazing it really was and he talked it was the first time he's talked we talked for like thirty minutes about it we did other stuff too but i really like i thought it was great i think if even if you don't even know who he is i guarantee you.
Shannon
You'Ll like it he said you know the first time he really talked excuse me talked about it almost maybe he needed to needed to like some therapy to get talk about that incident he.
Matt Jones
Also talked about like how he almost got jerry maguire the movie yeah and then he didn't and so like what that was like to have a movie that you know gets nominated for an oscar and you the jerry o' connell part was supposed to be him and it didn't happen so just things like that and then we talked about uk basketball and he suggested a show that i think would be a great show so this was like four or five years ago when i was really struggling with stuff and i went to austin people always give me a hard time about going to austin part of why i went to austin is i really like josh josh was a fun person to hang out with he lives down there and he and i watched a uk auburn game when both of us were kind of struggling and we watched the game we lost the game but during the game he and i would talk about what was going on and he said it was like kentucky therapy and then he goes wait a minute that would be a great show kentucky therapy people talk about their problems while watching a uk basketball or uk football game and i was like you know what i would like that that would be a good yeah i'd definitely tune.
Unknown
In what if the game is the.
Matt Jones
Reason you need therapy especially the football that's a very good point during a football game that might be the case john michael montgomery is waiting outside so we'll get to him in just a sec what was that oh you're on your computer jacob jacob go ahead.
Unknown
Hi good morning i hope you're all having a great summer matt i just want to recommend i know you're looking forward to going to south africa next few weeks i definitely recommend it it's an awesome place if you do go some more snorkeling i recommend taking some grab i mean because if you're prone to seasick mix but my actual question is especially when it comes to college football there's a lot of the solutions generally relates to collective bargaining but for the players why would most players be interested in actually agreeing to restrictions is there a percentage like well i mean they.
Matt Jones
Like to be civil majority well they'd.
Unknown
Like to be like percent and it.
Matt Jones
Would be like that's like asking why would you want to have a union i mean union i mean there are people who don't want to have unions but in general on the whole unions get better working conditions and money for the average member than than a than a total like free for all now you'll see this with the major league baseball players union right now the top players in major league baseball do not want to have a salary cap because it limits how much the best players will make but you could the middle and the bottom players it actually probably will help and so in the union there's this argument between the bryce harpers of the world and the connor joe's of the world about whether or not you want a salary cap and maybe even whether you would want a union at all the same thing will be true in college sports if you had a union and a cap it would probably hurt the earning potential of you know otega away but it probably would help the earning potential of a colin chandler or something like that and so i think that your your point is why would they want to do it well the other option which is that congress passes a law that limits all of their money i think is probably worse than if they get to collectively bargain.
Unknown
For college football though especially would it need to be negotiated between like.
Matt Jones
Schools or conferences well that's a great question nobody knows is the is the union going to be school by school is it going to be conference by conference or is it going to be college football as a whole the answer to your question is nobody knows right now and that's an issue like should you have sec players negotiating mac players deals or should you say the sec gets a union the big ten gets a union etcetera i don't think they'll do it school by school i think they do it conference by conference and then the sec has to think maybe if we give our players a better deal we'll get players that otherwise would go to the big ten that's exactly.
Shannon
What i was going to say so.
Matt Jones
Then it becomes like the union negotiation the players and the school might have an incentive you know what i mean so i think there's so many different ways this could go and it's hard to know right now trevor go ahead.
Unknown
Trevor hey matt as as future traffic czar of lexington do you think the traffic problem could be solved by anytime you see traffic you go ahead and zipper merge like you were telling everybody.
Matt Jones
Works really well i think zipper merges work really well i don't think that's the big problem though and i don't think it's that's more of an interstate problem that's a cincinnati problem the problem in cincinnati is everybody hits their brakes on seventy five and there's nothing to hit your brakes for and it slows it down in lexington it's just construction and we need more roads we just need more roads i appreciate the call but people don't want to interfere with the horse farms and you know ryan would tear down all businesses on nicholasville road to only have roads but then have nowhere to go yeah we don't.
Shannon
Need sidewalks take those sidewalks out.
Matt Jones
Probably the best thing lexington would need is it'd be nice if we had public transportation but i know that'll never happen.
Unknown
One day we're going to have the new circle monorail that goes to georgetown and nicholasville and then circles lexington wouldn't.
Matt Jones
That be awesome it would but no we won't well i can dream they'll never do that john michael montgomery when we return our number two this is kentucky sports radio in the heat of.
