The hosts express frustration over schools' reluctance to adopt shot clocks due to perceived high costs, arguing that better financing solutions could make implementation feasible. They discuss how shot clocks could prevent teams from intentionally stalling, ensuring more dynamic and entertaining games.

[Matt Jones]

I gotta admit, I'm sad. A lot of my memories of taking my boys out to Chuck E. Cheese over the years, it definitely kind of gives me a little, you know, sentimental feeling when I think about the Chuck E. Cheese in Lexington.

[Ryan Lemon]

We've done a show there. Are you sad?

[Billy]

I'm not sad. I want to congratulate them on an unbelievable run. The fact that they made it to August 5, 2025, is incredible. So good for you. Chuck E. Cheese. I can't say that I've been in 30 years, but I. The fact that.

[Ryan Lemon]

Did you go when we did the show there that one time? Okay. That was the only time I've been maybe ever, but certainly in a long, long time.

[Drew]

When did we do a show at a Chucky? I don't remember.

[Ryan Lemon]

Ryan and I Did once we did a remote at Chuck E. Cheese.

[Billy]

You have to take a kid with you.

[Ryan Lemon]

No, no, that was part of our conversation is, are you allowed in a Chuck E. Cheese without children?

[Matt Jones]

Right. We had that conversation.

[Ryan Lemon]

And that's. I think that's why they brought us. We were having a conversation about how it would be really weird to go to a Chuck E. Cheese without kids. And they did what businesses should do. We were kind of critical of it. And rather than get mad, they brought us out, you remember? And we came out there and we actually had a good time.

[Matt Jones]

Because secretly their pizza is, I always thought, pretty good.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. Cause I remember what it was. Okay. Now I remember I had had to go out there. There was a friend of mine, had taken his kids out there. And we went and I talked about how, like, snotty kids and their breathing and all that. And then. But then they brought us.

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Ryan Lemon]

And the food was good. Gave us pizza, and we had a big crowd of adults and children.

[Matt Jones]

They explained their security system. They've got to allow people in and out. You have to get a stamp on your hand. Your stamp has to match the kid's stamp when you come in. So people just can't come in and walk out with a kid. You get. They have security in place.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, I remember that.

[Matt Jones]

Telling that story.

[Ryan Lemon]

I do remember that. They stamp you so you can't take other people's kids.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Like, my stamp and, like, Gavin's stamp would match. So if I walk out, I don't.

[Ryan Lemon]

Remember that at all. Okay. But. But anyway, they're. They're gone now. I know that. I saw a couple weeks ago, a random guy dressed as Chuck E. Cheese got arrested.

[Drew]

Yeah, saw that.

[Ryan Lemon]

What did he do?

[Drew]

I don't know what it was, but, yeah, he got.

[Ryan Lemon]

There was a. They arrested a Chuck E. Cheese in Lexington. No, no, this was somewhere else. So. Yeah, somewhere else, a guy got arrested and he had the Chuck E. Cheese uniform.

[Drew]

Like, how they just know that it's him, though, you know?

[Ryan Lemon]

Am I right? Didn't basically another Chuck E. Cheese open in the same facility? I don't know. That Chuck E. Cheese is in that old South Park Mall, right?

[Matt Jones]

In Lexington?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

No, it's on Woodhill. Yeah, it's in Woodhill.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, okay.

[Billy]

You're talking about Malibu Jackson. All those. Yeah, they did open two or three of those next to each other.

[Ryan Lemon]

And that's basically the same thing, right?

[Matt Jones]

Well, Chuck E. Cheese has the video games, and then the. The animatronic band happens to the band.

[Drew]

They got rid of the band. I don't think the animatronics are there anymore.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, they're not. Well, that's part of. That's part of. Was they're down. Yeah. Get rid of the band. Also, they did. The KHSAA says they did a survey amongst all high schools in Kentucky to ask, would you like a shot clock? Because one of my big things is high school basketball needs a shot clock. And of course, the story was they we can't afford it.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

Which I. I still throw the challenge flag on how much can a shot clock cost. But they said they did a survey and 60% of the high schools in Kentucky are anti shot clock. Why?

[Matt Jones]

Well, I think you said. I think the cost. I think.

[Ryan Lemon]

How much does a shot clock cost?

[Drew]

We looked this up once.

[Ryan Lemon]

It wasn't. We did. It was not very much.

[Matt Jones]

But then you gotta get somebody to run it.

[Ryan Lemon]

You gotta get one person to run a shot clock. And most people would volunteer. I know you would volunteer.

[Matt Jones]

I would volunteer to do it.

[Ryan Lemon]

So I, I don't. I, I just don't buy the cost. Car.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I think that's the biggest.

[Ryan Lemon]

Do you think it's that these schools think their best chance to win that if they're not very good, is to hold the ball?

[Matt Jones]

Probably smaller schools, county schools. I think that probably plays into it, don't you?

[Drew]

Yes, it looks like a decent shot clock. Around 12, $1300, something like that.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, well, that's much more than I would.

[Drew]

And that's on rollers. That's not one. That's like attached to the goal.

[Matt Jones]

So you gotta.

[Ryan Lemon]

That is. Why is it so much.

[Drew]

A good one is like three, 200.

[Ryan Lemon]

That's.

[Matt Jones]

And you gotta buy two.

[Ryan Lemon]

I mean, you could.

[Matt Jones]

One on each end of the court. You gotta buy two of them.

[Ryan Lemon]

That is insane to me. What. Why can't you just have like a.

[Matt Jones]

You got to have one in each.

[Ryan Lemon]

Gyms.

[Matt Jones]

You got to buy four of them.

[Ryan Lemon]

Shocks me that it's that much. I would have literally thought it was $200. Twelve hundred dollars for a cheap one and 3400. Well, that's a lot. But that still shocks me.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, if you're like, no, I understand.

[Ryan Lemon]

If it's. If It's. If it's $2,500 to do it. I can understand why schools don't feel like they can do it. I just, I'm shocked that's how much it costs.

[Matt Jones]

And like I said, a lot of schools have a secondary gym once all the guys and girls can both play at the same time, you know, that means you got to have four shot clocks.

[Ryan Lemon]

Okay, well, I guess I should have looked that up. I still think, though, it would be better for the game of basketball because when I go to the sweet 16, the worst thing is when teams, they get up seven or eight with four minutes to go and they're basically holding onto the ball. That, to me is just awful.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Billy]

And when we were there, it was fun to watch, but Lyon county with Travis Perry did that. I mean, and was it the.

[Ryan Lemon]

When they played that game, I think.

[Billy]

It'S all their free throws running around and they couldn't do anything about it.

[Ryan Lemon]

I don't like it. And there's a lot of games that are seven or eight points with three or four minutes to go and teams just start doing that, and that's not entertaining basketball.

[Matt Jones]

I think it's where we're headed. I think the schools, though, have to come up a way. They're going to have to come up a way to find the cost. I think it's coming.

[Ryan Lemon]

You do?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

Why?

[Matt Jones]

I just think that's the evolution of the high school game.

[Ryan Lemon]

Do we know any, Any, like what percentages of states have it? Do we know?

[Matt Jones]

No, I don't either.

[Billy]

So do.

[Drew]

Well, you know, I mean. Yeah, you got to either force every school to get it. It can't be some.

[Ryan Lemon]

No, no. Every. Either every school has to get it or nobody has it. Yeah, you can't do it. Like home field advantage. Jerry. Go ahead, Jerry.

[Shannon]

Hey, man. First off, on South Carolina, I think they're pretty overrated because they lost nine or 10 players off their defense.

[Ryan Lemon]

And that quarterbacksman level quarterback sellers who crushed us last year.

[Shannon]

He did, but he had some stinkers last year, too. But the other thing about Vandy, unfortunately, that is going to be Diego Pavia's senior night when we go down there and play Vandy.

[Ryan Lemon]

I'm going to tell you, I think that kid's overrated. I think he's fun. I think, but he's had the whole receipts. Here's the thing. He had the whole offseason. Well, Ryan McGee was on ESPN with me and we were talking about Diego Pavia and he was like, diego Pavia has enjoyed being Diego Pavia. And he was. And Ryan said there's some worry at Vandy. Like, is he wor. Is he too into being Diego Pavia? So I'm. I'm going to go ahead and predict. I think he'll be fine, but I'm predicting Jerry a Diego Pavia step down this year.

[Shannon]

Well, I hope so. Now the other thing I want to ask you about, I was listening to one of those SEC preview podcasts. I know you're in the field still and they were saying they were. When they were doing Kentucky, they were claiming that. Can I guess, Steel ranks the top 50 at every position and the Kentucky had no player ranked in the top 50 at their position except for the punter.

[Ryan Lemon]

That wouldn't surprise me. I mean, I haven't read it, but I appreciate the call, Jerry. Would not surprise me. I mean, look objectively, if you were to look at Kentucky's team and you were to know nothing about it, you would say they're going to stink, right?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

They don't have any. They have one or two guys that are projected to get drafted. What Alex Safari and then, you know, Pete is some on some boards way down. We don't have anyone else projected to get drafted. Right.

[Matt Jones]

Unless some of those defensive got back guys step up.

[Ryan Lemon]

Alex Safari is the only one I think that's even projected. The quarterback is in his seventh year. You know, you have a cat, so I can understand. I'm not going to get mad at anybody for thinking we're going to stink. But it has been the case historically that this was when we got the best of Mark Stoops. True.

[Billy]

Yeah. I mean, ideally we'd love to have first team, all Americans, but this kind of is when Stoops had a success is it's when everybody counted us out, let's get our lunch pail and go hit somebody in the mouth. And that's kind of what they've gone back to trying to rebuild. Who knows if it'll works, if it'll work. But that's the mentality Stoops is trying to get back because when they had their most success, it was when it was a bunch of guys that say they're from Ohio and Ohio State didn't call or your Josh Allen and only Monmouth called you. You had a lot of guys with chips on their shoulders.

[Ryan Lemon]

I totally get though why someone objectively would look at it and go, they're going to be bad. I totally get it.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Cause you look at who we're bringing in, got 50 new players. A lot of these guys get to start 50. That's amazing.

[Ryan Lemon]

50 is a lot.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. So I can see why Phil still maybe doesn't rank anybody in the top 50.

[Ryan Lemon]

You're talking about podcast. You know, Shannon, I've been. I signed Ryan or not Ryan. Excuse me, Drew, Billy and Mario to listen. We basically were all assigned to listen to all of the NFL podcasts, basically our competition. And I got them to listen during the week last week, and then I listened over the weekend using some of the ones they suggested. They are the most boring things I've ever listened to.

[Drew]

Well, that's where you come in. And spice.

[Ryan Lemon]

That's what I'm saying. Like NFL podcasts. Well, Drew, you listen even more than I did. They take themselves so seriously. They're all so awful.

[Billy]

I love the NFL. I wake up every morning, I watch NFL Network. Good Morning Football is my show. But when you go to NFL podcast, there's not really a fun one. They all get so into the weeds with their game rep, game recaps. It's. I. I listened to any podcast in the top 200 that had the NFL in the title. Most of them were fantasy, but the ones that are recapping games went back to last season. I'm someone that loves the NFL. Could not get into those shows, so.

[Ryan Lemon]

But this is also a classic. Mario is from a different world than us. All right, so, Drew, so in this meeting, I'm like, drew, Billy, Mario, tell me your thoughts. Billy's talking about the podcast from the Athletic. You know, Drew's talking about the podcast from ESPN or the NFL. I go to Mario. I'm like, mario, what are the. What's your thought on the podcast? Mario goes, these are awful. And he goes, there's only two I liked. And then these were the two he liked.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Ryan Lemon]

Run with Manny Wilson. Never heard of that.

[Matt Jones]

No.

[Ryan Lemon]

You ever heard of that?

[Matt Jones]

Never heard of it.

[Ryan Lemon]

Who's Manny Wilson? And running. And then with a serious face, he looks at me and goes, probably the second best one is called Urinating Tree.

[Matt Jones]

Wow.

[Billy]

Did he know there I was there.

[Ryan Lemon]

Urinating Tree.

[Matt Jones]

That's an NFL podcast?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yes. And I was like, what? He goes, I'm telling you. He was like, it's pretty good. He's like, it's just some guys hanging out. And I didn't get a chance to check on Urinating Tree during the thing, but, like, that just shows you he's.

[Matt Jones]

Just the younger generation.

[Ryan Lemon]

He was like. Like, all the rest of these are boring, but Urinating Tree is pretty good.

[Billy]

And respectfully, Manny Wilson didn't have much of a following as far as I could see.

[Ryan Lemon]

Mario had, like, 400 followers.

[Billy]

So good for Manny Wilson.

[Ryan Lemon]

The point of this is, I think there's an opening for us.

[Matt Jones]

It makes me want to listen to Urinating Tree to find out what it's all about.

[Drew]

To be honest, Interesting Google image search is coming up.

[Ryan Lemon]

Rick, go ahead. Rick who you want Rick?

[Drew]

Oh yeah, there he is.

[Shannon]

Hey guys. This throwback to last week, a little bit you guys were talking about construction and traffic problems and stuff in Lexington. I moved to Evansville, Indiana in 1987 and the first newspaper headline I saw was Talking about Building I69 from Indianapolis to Evansville. It's still not done.

[Ryan Lemon]

Exactly. It doesn't surprise me.

[Shannon]

And, and they haven't even picked where the, you know they're going to build a new bridge across the Ohio. They still haven't picked a spot for it.

[Ryan Lemon]

The worst things that have happened in society is whatever we try to do with the Ohio river, it never works. It's filthy. The bridges break down, they fall like the Ohio River. We probably should have all just agreed to stay on either side of it because it doesn't. Trying to get across it is always a problem.

[Shannon]

Very.

[Ryan Lemon]

Fairies. That's what we should have done.

[Shannon]

I told, I told some friends years ago that if, if that had been Kentucky they would have built the road, put a toll on it and had it paid off before Indiana finished theirs. I mean they did it in, they did it in sections. It's like they build a stretch.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

And then there would be a 20 mile gap to the next stretch. It was ridiculous.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

So no, you're right to go around about way to get to Indianapolis and then. And the second thing we're talking about last week, you know, their century of terrible teams whatever whatever. In 1984 I had a job where I was off in the afternoon and there wasn't anything else on TV so I watched the Cubs every day. They played in the afternoon. Kind of became a fan and was really rooting for him. They had a lot of likable players. You know Dawson and Sandberg. They picked up Rick Sutcliffe who was.

[Ryan Lemon]

I just got like 10 seconds real quick.

[Shannon]

Well, and they lost. They won the first two games in the playoffs and then lost three in a row to the Padres and broke my heart.

[Ryan Lemon]

I remember that Gary Templeton was the on the Padres. Appreciate the call. Stop over paying for sunglasses. Check out Shady Rays independent American owned company. Started right here in Kentucky. Whether it's running fight, fishing, biking, golfing. You could go to Shady Rays, get a pair of their premium polarized shades and try them risk free for yourself.

Welcome back Techy Sports Radio 859-280-2287. People are riding the text machine and saying they actually started that bridge. The bridge across Evansville 16. That's what they're saying. I don't know. I mean, I'm not there, so I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

I'm not. I've been there many years.

[Ryan Lemon]

859-280-2287. One person writes, Matt, I've been to the Dirt Bowl. Most fun thing you can do in Lexington. Also, best collection of food in Lexington.

[Matt Jones]

I'm telling you, as soon as you pull up, the smell of food knocks you over. It's so good.

[Ryan Lemon]

Is it?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, it really smells good. But you mentioned walking. That's a good idea because there's cars everywhere.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, there was. I drove by a week ago Sunday and there were people. Yeah, absolutely. Everywhere.

[Matt Jones]

It's a big deal. It's been a big deal, like that guy said, for 50 years. In Lexington.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. At KY Sports Radio, on Twitter. Okay, so let's go to the next one here on my list. This has been a topic on a lot of radio shows, and I thought, I mean, if it is, then I need to hear your all's opinion. Only two of us are married, but, Shannon, you and I, one of us is married. Yeah, you're essentially married, but you and I get to have as much of an opinion as they do.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon.

[Drew]

Okay, I like this.

[Ryan Lemon]

Checking accounts. In a marriage, should a man and woman keep separate checking accounts? They can have. The premise is, yes, you could have a joint account, but can you, in addition to the joint account, each have your own separate account as well? Or does it suggest that your marriage is not trusting?

[Drew]

Oh, I'll jump in there. I'll say, absolutely, you can have a separate checking account. As a matter of fact, do you.

[Ryan Lemon]

Think you should be able to tell? You think your wife should be able to know what's in your separate checking?

[Drew]

I mean, if she wants to ask, I'll tell her, but I think I should be able to have my own separate checking account. I think she should be able to have her own separate checking account as well. I have no problem doing that. If I were married.

[Billy]

I am married. I have no idea what Abby buys.

[Ryan Lemon]

And I don't care.

[Billy]

I trust her. She trusts me, Bill.

[Ryan Lemon]

So do you all have a joint.

[Billy]

We got combined and our old ones that we had before we were married, we kind of got a hodgepodge of stuff. But, like, if she spends $500 on Amazon today, I might be like, that was a big purchase. But like, we're not monitoring.

[Ryan Lemon]

What if she spends $500? Like, so you don't have any idea what's in her her separate account? No, because it could be any amount of money.

[Billy]

We're both pretty responsible with our money. Now, if it got to a point like, hey, what are you doing over there? But we've had no issues. I completely trust her. She trusts me.

[Ryan Lemon]

There are people who argue you should not have separate accounts that, like, all of. Once you get married, it's a union between two souls, and everything should be a joint checking account.

[Drew]

Those are the same people that have joint Facebook accounts.

[Ryan Lemon]

What do you think?

[Billy]

We have, like, six accounts. I mean, it's still.

[Ryan Lemon]

Look at you. Money back.

[Billy]

No, I mean, it's still.

[Ryan Lemon]

I've got six accounts. Shannon, look at all the money. Money Drew's got.

[Billy]

All we. Y' all want to talk about money? Because we can talk about money on this show. I mean, I still have my one in Madisonville from elementary school when I started at uk. I mean, I have just hodgepodge of stuff. I'm not saying they're full of money, but it's chaotic. It's not all in one thing.

[Matt Jones]

This is something that's definitely evolved in my. When I got married the first time, like in the early 90s, I think everybody just got joint checking accounts. Nobody had separate.

[Ryan Lemon]

No one had separate accounts. Okay.

[Matt Jones]

I think it's evolved where now, like you said, you have one joint account, but then you have your own separate account.

[Ryan Lemon]

So how do you decide what money goes into the joint account? Especially when you're maybe like, you get a paycheck.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

If you have a separate account and a joint account, your paycheck comes in, which account do you put it in?

[Matt Jones]

I think you got the direct deposit. Should go to the joint account.

[Ryan Lemon]

So then what is in the separate account?

[Matt Jones]

Like, maybe you withdraw a couple hundred dollars each time for your own spending money while you play golf.

[Ryan Lemon]

Knows what all. Where all of your money is going.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. And I also think that, like, maybe there's a lot of families where money's tight. You need every penny just to make. Pay your bills. So, you know, I think I will.

[Ryan Lemon]

Go ahead and tell you if I get married. There. There. The. The money. No.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, the money.

[Drew]

No. Good answer.

[Ryan Lemon]

The money is not going into a joint. I mean, could I have a joint checking account? In theory, yes, but you want your own thing, right? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't. I didn't come here to become a child again. Right. Like, I mean, I.

[Drew]

At some point, you have to ask to go out.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. I mean, I'm not gonna sit there and go, well, why'd you buy This. I needed some more Kobe's. I'm not. I'm not dealing with that.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, you need your own account, but you need that joint account to make the house payment, pay your bills. Or do you split the bills up? Honey, you pay electric, water, gas.

[Ryan Lemon]

If I. Okay, I can just think about me. If I got married, I'm fine paying all the bills, whatever, but I'm also not signing up to have a new, like, mother oversee what I spend. Yeah, right. It's true.

[Matt Jones]

But.

[Ryan Lemon]

Okay, so let me ask you this. Let's say I get married. This is an honest question. I'm not the money I had coming into it, am I? Do I should do a prenup, Right. By the way, I should. The answer is yes.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, Most. Most people don't have a lot of money when they get married, you know, I understand.

[Ryan Lemon]

But let's say you do have some. Yeah, well, I would do the Chris Rock thing. If you got a lot of money, may not hurt you. If you only got a little money, you need to prenup even more. It's like, you know, it's the little money you do have. You make tea. If you have 30 million, your wife wants 15. Who cares? Yeah, but if you make 30,000 and your wife wants 15, that's. So I. I don't even know. The whole premise of a joint account is difficult to me. I'm sure I would do it, but I would definitely have my own.

[Billy]

A lot of it depends on what baby step you're on with. Dave Ramsey, too. If you've already got your nest egg and your emergency. If you get to baby step four, you listen to the baby steps, right.

[Ryan Lemon]

Shannon, I don't see you. I won't see you doing a joint checking account.

[Drew]

No, I probably wouldn't. I mean, I would definitely have my own. And there may be a joint account where I have a little bit of money in there and it's all hers. But no, you.

[Ryan Lemon]

The joint account for me would pay the bills.

[Drew]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

And if you have kids, you know.

[Ryan Lemon]

But when it comes to individual spending.

[Drew]

Yeah, that's my own thing.

[Ryan Lemon]

I think it should be your own thing.

[Matt Jones]

I think the majority of your money, if you have kids and your bills are tight, should go in the joint account. And then you have your own little bit for spending money, because you got.

[Ryan Lemon]

To think the wife should know what you spend that on.

[Matt Jones]

No. Okay, but she's going to see if you withdrew $300 that week.

[Ryan Lemon]

See, I don't want to be explaining that I'm taking $300.

[Matt Jones]

It's got to be an understanding. She could take 300 and you can't question her either.

[Billy]

I don't think it's about where the money is. You should have a general budget. I mean, you don't have to get down in every month and maybe some people do, some people don't. But that's why you and I just be.

[Ryan Lemon]

And I can just like. I mean, I just, I. If I'm going to get married, I want to be in a partnership where we trust each. I don't want somebody overseeing my day to day life.

[Drew]

I want a woman who has that same mindset.

[Ryan Lemon]

I totally agree with you. I totally agree with you. We'll take a break. Right back, KSI, TJ Smith, personal injury attorney.

[Drew]

Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

[Ryan Lemon]

Here's Matt Jones, Text machine. Is a lot of people, Shannon saying this is why you two aren't married.

[Drew]

Oh, okay, fair enough.

[Ryan Lemon]

I'm fine with that.

[Drew]

You know what? I'm happy.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, me too. Here's the thing, all right? So I don't want it to be. I don't want it to sound like I'm selfish. All right? If I get married at this stage in my life, whoever I marry will have whatever they want, within reason.

[Drew]

All the shoes you want, all the hoodies you want.

[Ryan Lemon]

No, I mean, like, I don't spend money. So I will have, like, whoever marries me will be fine. But in exchange for them being fine, they can't be sitting there telling me what to do. You know what I mean?

[Matt Jones]

When you're the main breadwinner.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, I mean, maybe I'll marry somebody that's a bigger breadwinner than me. I'm not going to tell her what to do. You know what I mean? Like, I mean, I think that's. And I would argue, this is when I was a lawyer, I said if you have anything, it you don't. People think you have to be rich to like have a prenup. No, if you have anything, you have to think about it. And I understand, like when you're getting married, you don't want to think about getting divorced. I get that. Like, that's not romantic.

[Matt Jones]

Right.

[Ryan Lemon]

But it's also reality. And it's not just about the cash you have. Let's say you own a business. Okay, Technically she's entitled to half of the appreciation when it starts, but that means you need to have an appraisal of what it's worth when you get married. You need to decide, do you really want to give half of what. And I'm talking. It can be the smallest business in the world. I would argue the more central what you have is to your day to day existence, the more you need a prenuptial agreement, in my opinion.

[Matt Jones]

Well, isn't in Kentucky? Kentucky's reciprocal state. What's yours is hers and hers is.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yours from the day you're married.

[Matt Jones]

Right.

[Ryan Lemon]

But when you come into it with stuff, that's where it gets tricky because you. What's yours is yours when you come into it. But then there's appreciation. Right? So let's say you have a bank account and it gets interest. What about the bank? What about the interest after you. And for people who have a lot of money, that might be a lot, but where it really comes into play is you own a business like Ryan owns. I don't know, your real estate thing, like, let's say it was worth whatever it's worth when you get married, then whatever happens forward, you know, it gets complicated.

[Drew]

Ryan knows. You're telling. You're preaching to the choir.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. I mean, you've been through this. You understand, you own property. The appreciation of the property, like there's all kinds of stuff that comes in and you need to have that. This is not my expertise. I didn't do this. But I. And so, I mean, I know it would be non romantic, Drew to sit there and go, honey, will you marry me? Okay, now let's get a prenup.

[Drew]

Sign this first.

[Ryan Lemon]

Here, sign this. But I think if you want to avoid potential hassle later in life, I think you have to do it or else you'll just. Then you'll end up when you get divorced, hating each other because you'll be fighting over stuff which you shouldn't want. I wouldn't think so.

[Billy]

You're saying till death do us part, but just in case.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, let me put it like this. You would never buy a house and not get insurance.

[Matt Jones]

Correct?

[Drew]

Great point.

[Ryan Lemon]

So that doesn't mean you want your house to burn down.

[Drew]

True.

[Ryan Lemon]

But if it. Shannon, am I wrong?

[Drew]

No, you're spot on, man.

[Ryan Lemon]

So if you. If I'm gonna get married, I don't want it to end.

[Drew]

But it could.

[Ryan Lemon]

But it could. And I need to understand what's going to happen. So when the house sets on fire, I'm not running around with a bucket trying to pour the water out.

[Drew]

We're basically just a couple of Romeo's here.

[Ryan Lemon]

But no, no, no. Here's the Romeo part. Anyone that marries me is going to have like, I'm giving, but I'm also not stupid.

[Matt Jones]

And I think this is something else that has evolved over the last 15 years or so. Where used to be just the rich people got the prenup. No. You know, nobody else even thought about it.

[Ryan Lemon]

I mean, if you have nothing that's different, but a lot of people have. A lot of people have more things that they can lose than they realize they can.

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Ryan Lemon]

You know what I mean? And that's why it's at least worth having the consultation.

[Matt Jones]

Look at us giving them wedding advice, marriage advice.

[Ryan Lemon]

You said that you think it's changed over time, that when you were young all accounts were joined.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know of anybody. That when they got married had joint accounts, I mean separate checking accounts.

[Ryan Lemon]

You didn't know. So immediately all the money pulled into one.

[Matt Jones]

Absolutely. And of course, you know, this was back in the day when there wasn't mobile apps and stuff where you could manage your money a little easier. All money was funneled into one account.

[Drew]

Let me play out a scenario for you, Matt. Woman of your dreams. Absolutely perfect. You've been in this relationship a couple of years. It's time to get married. But she will not sign the prenup. What we doing?

[Ryan Lemon]

Chances are, I'm going to be honest with you. Chances are if someone, if I logically present what I just said and someone says they cannot do it, and by the way, I'm going to be generous in the prenup. Like if we divorce, I'm going to want, I'm going to be happy with this person. I'm going to want them to be. But if they won't do it, then chances are they're not coming into it with the same motives I want to come into it.

[Matt Jones]

Right.

[Ryan Lemon]

You know what I mean? Like, they're not, like, if you won't sign the prenup, then that says something to me about like, well, what are you trying to get out of this? This.

[Billy]

But couldn't they say, since you're forcing a prenup on me, are you all the way in?

[Ryan Lemon]

I would have a very generous prenup, but I'm not going to say I don't. I have watched people's lives, friends of mine, devolve into two and three year legal fights over nonsense and then that, you know, and then it affects their kids if they have. You don't want that. It's for everybody's peace of mind.

[Matt Jones]

And like I said, I think it's more common Now I think people are more open to it now than they used to be.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, Matt. Go ahead, Matt.

[Shannon]

Hey, guys. You know, on the Mitch Barnhart interview last week, there were sort of two things I don't think you guys have talked about since I thought were interesting that he said. On one hand, he said that the Power 4 conferences are going to kind of control the future and shape the future of college athletics, which I think on the football side makes sense.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yes.

[Shannon]

On the other hand, he did kind of admit that he's worried about the Big east basketball schools, a subset of those schools, because not all those schools have a lot of money. And my question is, and you know, I'm a Biggie sky and as a John's fan and you know, when I hear that, that sort of, to me gives a little bit of alarm bells because that's something, you know, what he said was, we want control, but we're worried about this other group that's not like us.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. And I think. I think he's. I think that's. You're exactly right. That is a little bit contradictory. But it's also, I think, how they feel because. And it's really only to. It's really only in basketball. That's where they're worried. Like, they're not worried about you guys in other sports. They're really worried about men's basketball. They're worried that a handful of schools, St. John's is one of them. UConn is one of them. Uh, Matt Norlander said Marquette is one of them. There's a handful of schools that. That people in the power four conferences are worried, have the access to spend $20 million and don't have anything else to spend it on.

[Shannon]

On.

[Ryan Lemon]

And so we'll see how it plays out. St. John's, I think, is going to be the test case. You guys will push the envelope as you should, and you guys will probably spend. This year's a little misleading because we talked about they were able to double do it by having private money in the July, but starting next year, you guys might spend twice as much on your roster as any other team does. And it'll be interesting to see how the Power4Schools handle that, specifically Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina and Duke, who feel like you all shouldn't be able to do that.

[Shannon]

No. Agreed. And I guess is there anything that they could legally do that would stand up?

[Ryan Lemon]

I don't think so. I don't think so. I think you guys have the ability to do that. From just from. From my read on, it And I appreciate the call. I don't. I'm not claiming to be an expert, but I think the Big east schools drew have a chance to a handful of them create mega rosters. And I think if St. J. If I was at AD at St. John's or the AD at UConn, those are the two. To me, I would say, let's go become the new. I mean, UConn already has, but let's go and become the new. I think Rick Patino was quoted as saying we should be the evil empire. Yeah, they should be. And they should, because they have the money and they have the means, and now they have the rules to be able to do it. Yep.

[Billy]

I'm also a little worried about Villanova.

[Ryan Lemon]

That's another one.

[Billy]

Recent championships, all in on basketball, no football team, and have that money to spend. Really. The Northeast is going to be dangerous. And if you can't do anything about it, almost just have to root that if they are overspending, if you've got a guy on the bench making 3 million, you just got to hope for turmoil. And that. That. That doesn't work out.

[Ryan Lemon]

It's also some of the smaller levels, like, let's say you're a really rich alumnus of lmu. Do you just go, all right, we're about to enter D1. Let's be really good?

[Matt Jones]

Why wouldn't they?

[Ryan Lemon]

Because LMU could spend $2 million and be dominant in their conference. Eastern Kentucky football could say, why don't we go back and start winning national championships again?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, why. Why would.

[Ryan Lemon]

Why wouldn't you?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

So there. You know, this will happen. But for our purposes, St. John's Rick Patino said, we are. We should be the evil empire. Which says he wants to be the evil.

[Matt Jones]

I'm gonna say, what would stop him from doing that?

[Ryan Lemon]

Nothing, I think, can stop him. It won't happen this year, but next year is the year. See what happens. Next year, he might get every kid in the portal.

[Matt Jones]

Why wouldn't you?

[Ryan Lemon]

Why wouldn't you? I agree.

[Matt Jones]

Why?

[Billy]

Especially up there in New York where they stay home.

[Ryan Lemon]

Exactly. And you. I mean, all you gotta do is look at the sidelines of St. John game and look at those dudes. You know, they've got the money, right? They all look like. They all look like John Gotti sitting on the sideline.

[Ryan Lemon]

Welcome back, techie Sports Radio. Here's a woman that writes, Matt, I think joint checking accounts came from a time where men were trying to control what women did with their own money.

[Matt Jones]

Probably some truth to that. Yeah. You know, back in the day, that was kind of the. As crazy as it sounds now, but I guess that was kind of the way life was.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, I think that makes sense. Yeah. I don't. I mean, if I feel like. Well, I don't know. A lot of people are like, you two. You enchanted don't know anything because you're not married.

In regards to the Texas Republicans leaving the state, the reason why they went to illinois is because J.B. pritzker's the governor, he's a Democrat, a billionaire, and owns a bunch of hotel chains. He probably gives him a place to stay. In regards to the other account. Yeah, I'm married, and me and my wife, we have a joint account, but I also have an individual one, and it doesn't cause any issue. Thanks for taking a call.

[Ryan Lemon]

You'll have a wonderful look at that. See, he has.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I think that's how it's evolved. There's a joint account to pay your bills, but you each have your own individual account.

[Ryan Lemon]

But. But you still get to the same issue as how. How do you decide when ryan lemon makes $50,000? How do you decide how much of each of it goes into which account? It's still the same fight, isn't it?

[Matt Jones]

I think probably, but you got to just make sure there's enough in there to pay your mortgage and your car insurance and your cell phone bill and all your other bills.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, Jeff, Go ahead, Jeff.

[Shannon]

Yeah. This is regarding the Dirt Bowl. Ron, you know this guy, but my brother was the first white guy that played Dirt bowl in my. A good buddy of ours was second. I was a third. This is back in the mid-70s, early 77, 78. In following year, my. We put a team together. It's called average White Team. So we've been there, done that, for a long, long time. And Ryan, you know the guy I'm talking about, he used to be a coach here at Lexington.

[Ryan Lemon]

Did you ever. Did you ever win?

[Shannon]

Oh, yeah, yeah, we were. Yeah, we were really. We had. We had a bunch of the local.

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, Rex used to play in it, didn't he? Rex would come up here and play.

[Matt Jones]

All the UK guys would always play in it every summer.

[Ryan Lemon]

Uk? They don't really play any anymore, do they?

[Matt Jones]

Probably not, no.

[Shannon]

He was at Rex's way after us, but I played when James Lee and Jack, they were coming with in limousines on Super Sunday, and they came with limousines. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

Back then, yes. But we. By the way, we weren't. We just had those. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. We just had them. Nancy. Go ahead, Nancy.

[Caller]

Okay, I'm calling him out. The checking account. When I first got married, we just had one checking account, but it's a problem when the other one spends more, and then you don't have enough money to pay the electric bill or whatever. So now, when my husband's passed away a few years ago, but this is the second time around, we had a joint checking account, and we each had our own because my Social Security went into Mine, his went into his. So as far as the joint, when you got a bill, say it's electric bills, $200 each, put in $100, and it worked perfectly. Perfect.

[Ryan Lemon]

That's. That makes you almost sound, though, like roommates. Like, it's like you're paying the rent by giving. Everybody can treat. Like, okay, the rent's $800. Make sure you have $400 in the account.

[Caller]

But it worked. It really worked. And so. And then. Then he couldn't say, you don't need to spend that money on whatever. And I didn't say anything to him.

[Ryan Lemon]

It's like the capital call I have to send out every call. It's like the capital call I send out to Hope for ovw. All right, Come on. Put in the money so that we don't. So that we can pay our bills.

[Matt Jones]

Like I said, I think there's a lot of families that are. Have to struggle with that every single month. If you've got a joint account, you pay the bills. You got to make sure you donate enough money to pay those bills before you go out and play around the golf somewhere.

[Ryan Lemon]

Why don't you just get married? Like, I mean, like, I don't understand why you don't.

[Matt Jones]

We're talking about joint checking accounts.

[Ryan Lemon]

This is more important.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I mean, you.

[Ryan Lemon]

You. You should. You could get. We could have a wedding and think about a KSR wedding.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, Billy's got one coming up next year.

[Ryan Lemon]

I know, and that's good, but I think yours. Like, we could live stream it. I owe you one, too.

[Billy]

I'm falling through a table. I'm pouring everything on my head drunk.

[Ryan Lemon]

And embarrass himself at your reception.

[Matt Jones]

Like mom didn't grab your butt. Like your mom grabbed my butt.

[Ryan Lemon]

Okay. Wow.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, yeah. Nancy grabbed my butt was a fun time.

[Billy]

We had a great time.

[Ryan Lemon]

Let's go back. You could get married, but you can.

[Matt Jones]

Talk to Shannon about it. Shannon's been with Sarah a lot longer.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, but you two are on another lip. Yeah, I mean, like, like, you two. You.

[Matt Jones]

We don't even live in the same house. Shannon and Sarah live in the same house.

[Ryan Lemon]

First of all, our Ks bar manager lives across the street, and you're a woman, and we know you're there every night, but not every night.

[Matt Jones]

I don't ever spend the night.

[Ryan Lemon]

Every day. You don't ever spend that ever.

[Matt Jones]

Because I still. Josiah still lives at home. I can't leave him by himself.

[Ryan Lemon]

So you just drive home every night? Like 11:30 at night?

[Matt Jones]

Sometimes you're Like a teenager.

[Ryan Lemon]

You are a teenager.

[Matt Jones]

I am a teenager. I got a curfew.

[Billy]

Does Josiah stay up by the lamp waiting for you to walk in?

[Matt Jones]

I think it's respectful for me as a dad to not expect Josiah to spend the night by himself in the house because I'm shacking up with my girlfriend.

[Ryan Lemon]

But you're there. I've heard you're there all the time.

[Matt Jones]

I'm here a lot, you know, probably once a day, every day.

[Ryan Lemon]

Okay, so just move in.

[Drew]

You're paying two mortgages.

[Ryan Lemon]

You're paying two mortgages. And you all could get in together. And then it could be yoga girl and yoga boy.

[Billy]

You can have a yoga studio.

[Ryan Lemon]

I would love to be known as yoga boy. I think you should just go ahead and do it. Mark. Go ahead, Mark.

[Shannon]

Hey, this is Mark. I'm calling from Cynthiana, Kentucky. All right, we're down here putting on the roof, but to your joint account with a woman, with your wife. Yes, we do have a joint account, but we also have a individual checking account.

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, there you go. Why?

[Shannon]

Other question to you is, why did they move to Louisville? Basketball game.

[Ryan Lemon]

I don't know. So far, I don't like it. I don't like it. I appreciate the call. I'm sure they did it for tv. It was because when Louisville would host, if you remember, we couldn't get on a good network because ESPN would have college football. So they probably moved it there because ESPN has said if you want this game to be on college basketball or on espn, you got them. That's my guess. I don't know that. If you remember when Kentucky would host, CBS would have it. But when it was at Louisville, we were playing on like ESPN2 and stuff. And so that's my guess as to why it happened. But I agree it's bad. I have a friend who's a divorce attorney who says, tell Ryan, most divorces are who are about the fight is who has to take the timeshare, not who gets to.
