1. Introduction and Scheduling Updates

Matt Jones kicks off the episode by updating listeners on his upcoming responsibilities. He mentions that immediately after the show, he will be hosting "Joe and Q" on ESPN Radio from 12 PM to 3 PM alongside Jonathan Zaslow of Miami. Matt humorously remarks, “I host Joe and Q today on ESPN radio from 12 to 3. Neither Joe nor Q will be there, but I'm hosting it with Jonathan Zaslow of Miami” ([02:45]).

2. Player Suspensions and Team Updates

The discussion moves to recent player suspensions, specifically Jordan Addison’s three-game suspension. Matt asks, “Jordan Addison being suspended. Oh, three” ([03:00]). Drew and Shannon provide insights into the implications of Addison's absence on the team's performance.

3. Bo' Nix and Devin Key Highlights

Shannon shares her strong opinions on quarterback Bo' Nix’s performance this season. Ryan contributes by highlighting a key moment: “They had a scrimmage this weekend. Inner squad, scrimmage and Bo' Nix next to an interception by Devin Key” ([04:36]). This leads to a broader conversation about Bo' Nix’s potential and Devin Key’s efforts to secure a spot on the roster.

4. Matthew Stafford’s Injury Concerns

Matt brings up concerns regarding quarterback Matthew Stafford’s back pain, questioning the lack of effective treatments for blisters. He passionately states, “Why is it that we don't have a cure for blisters that doesn't make it take 15 days” ([10:40]). Shannon and Drew discuss potential solutions, though consensus remains that healing time is currently unavoidable.

5. Innovative Fan Engagement: Reaction Videos

A significant portion of the discussion centers around the idea of fans creating live reaction videos during games. Matt suggests, “You could always say that though. Some time that takes” ([05:09]), leading to a debate on the feasibility and entertainment value of such content. Drew shares his experience, noting, “I think there's a market out there during this season for stick a camera on yourself, watch the game” ([15:04]).

6. Internal Team Dynamics and Turmoil

The hosts delve into internal team issues, focusing on Sevier Wheeler and his impact on team morale. Matt remarks on the divided team dynamics: “The team was divided, and people like to gloss over this” ([38:00]). Drew elaborates on the internal conflicts, highlighting the tension between Wheeler and other team members.

7. Listener Interaction: Ask Anything Wednesday

Matt introduces the "Ask Anything Wednesday" segment, encouraging listeners to submit questions via phone or text. Questions range from player behaviors to team strategies. For instance, a listener asks, “Do you and Shannon think Mark Pope curses during practice?” ([22:45]). The hosts engage in lively debates, with Shannon expressing her skepticism and Matt leaning towards the possibility.

8. ESPN App and Viewing Options for UK Games

Kentucky Joe calls in to inquire about the ESPN app’s coverage of UK games. Matt confirms, “If you have the ESPN app, which, starting August 21, you don't have to have cable” ([26:14]). This segment provides valuable information for listeners looking to stay updated on their favorite teams without traditional cable subscriptions.

9. Personal Anecdotes and Stories

Matt shares a personal story about an unexpected encounter with AC/DC during his high school years. He narrates, “I walked in and... Angus was in there” ([34:00]). This anecdote adds a personal touch to the episode, showcasing Matt’s diverse interests and experiences.

10. Howard Stern Cancellation Discussion

The hosts discuss the rumors surrounding Howard Stern’s potential cancellation from Sirius. Matt expresses his disapproval: “I mean, times change, Shannon” ([46:22]). Shannon agrees, noting the shift in radio landscapes and listener preferences. This segment reflects on the evolving nature of media personalities and their impact.

11. Final Listener Calls and Predictions

In the closing segments, listeners continue to call in with questions and comments. Kentucky Joe shares his optimistic prediction for the UK football team: “I'm going out on limb. I'm gonna say nine and three” ([48:25]). The hosts discuss the potential of the team’s performance, balancing hope with realistic assessments.

Notable Quotes:

• Matt Jones on hosting Joe and Q: “...Neither Joe nor Q will be there, but I'm hosting it with Jonathan Zaslow” ([02:45]).

[Shannon]

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

[Matt Jones]

Welcome, everyone, Kentucky Sports Radio. It is Wednesday, August 6th. I am Matt Jones here on a beautiful day in Louisville, Kentucky. We are all place. I am at my house in Louisville. Shannon is at the studio in Louisville. Drew and Ryan are at the studio in Lexington. But you can give a shout out Clark's Pump and Shop phone line. That's 859-280-2287. A Vision Auto Glass text machine is 772-774-5254. In this edition, sponsored by the T.J. smith Law Office. You call T.J. he'll make them pay. I'm at my house because I, right after this show ends, have to immediately start. I host Joe and q today on ESPN radio from 12 to 3. Neither Joe nor Q will be there, but I'm hosting it with Jonathan Zaslow of Miami and. Yeah. So five straight hours of radio. And let me just tell you, Ryan, they just sent out just a few minutes ago the rundown for today's Joe and Q. Oh, man. Things I have big, big. Well, Drew and I probably need to learn this stuff, right? But these are things I have big opinions on. Jordan Addison being suspended. Oh, three.

[Drew]

Three games, right?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Do I have a segment in me on that one?

[Drew]

Well, I just gave everything I know about it.

[Matt Jones]

Three games. We're leading the show with Shador Sanders starting the first preseason game. There's Micah Parsons. Nice to you see. See you again. Shannon, how about. What is your opinion of Bo Nicks this year? Oh, I have strong.

[Shannon]

I mean, how much time you got?

[Matt Jones]

Oh, my. Well, I've got 15 minutes I gotta figure out on that one.

[Ryan]

I got a little nugget on Bo Nicks for you today.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. Okay, now wait a minute. Here we go. Shannon. If he gives me a nugget that I can use, I'll slip it in. Let's see, at 11:00am or. Excuse me. Well, no, that's. That's 12. This would be my 12:00pm set. Go ahead.

[Ryan]

They had a scrimmage this weekend. Inner squad, scrimmage and bone next to an interception by Devin Key.

[Matt Jones]

Probably not gonna throw that one in, Shannon, because I don't know that the nation is gonna. Is gonna have as strong an opinion about that.

[Shannon]

Yeah, if you get desperate. You could always say that, though. Some time that takes.

[Matt Jones]

Sounds like I know a lot about it, right?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

You're naming off, like, unknown players.

[Ryan]

A guy, Devin Keith, fighting for a spot on the roster, picked off the starting quarterback.

[Shannon]

I think you should say it really Extended there.

[Drew]

Like you watch it. Like Devin was just sitting there waiting. Both through it right to him.

[Matt Jones]

You know what? All right, fine. Yes, yes, yes. I guess it's at 1:00pm let's. I'm trying to look at this. It says 12. Yeah. So this would be 1:00pm I am. I'm. We are doing Bo Nicks. I'm going to find a way for you, Ryan. Thank you.

[Ryan]

Thank you.

[Matt Jones]

To mention Devin Keys interception. So this is just. This is just. This is for you. You tell his family and I'm going to throw that in there for you.

[Ryan]

You just made my day. I'm smiling ear to ear. That makes me very happy because Devin's trying to make a spot. So let's get him a little pub, get a little national publicity.

[Matt Jones]

And by the way, also, Matthew Stafford has back pain. That's 145. I don't know what.

[Ryan]

Drew, do you have to tune into that?

[Matt Jones]

I can talk about what back pain feels like, right?

[Drew]

Yeah. These are all easy topics. I have back pain all day. He only has it at 145.

[Shannon]

Now. You should bring on Drew as your, you know, back hurt her.

[Matt Jones]

Drew and I could just sit there and talk about how much it hurts to have your back pain.

[Drew]

Oh, he sits on a computer for 10 hours a day, too.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. No, I mean, I'm going to make this. I'm going to make it more entertaining.

[Ryan]

I'm just glad you got five hours of radio. I'm glad you got this really elaborate radio studio to do five hours of radio in this morning.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, well, I'm in my house. I'm sitting here right next to all my candles. I'll probably light a few of them today. Matter of fact, why don't we. I'll do that during this first break. Shannon. A little cypress and amber white barn to kind of get my. In the ambiance of this. Of this.

[Shannon]

I like that. I remember last. That one time I was over there, we went and we picked out a different candle each time. You have an absurd amount of candles for a man. You really do.

[Matt Jones]

Is it for a man or just for a human?

[Shannon]

Well, just for a human being. Especially for a man.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Well, fair enough. So anyway, we will do that. This is going to be an ask Anything Wednesday. Now, here's what I'm going to say to you. You obviously can ask anything on the text machine or on the phone. You know, usually I'm like, hey, the more absurd the better. And I still believe that if you want to ask something off the beaten path, I'm good with it. But I think I talked about this yesterday. There are literally. There are like, no UK stories. Like, nothing. There's just. There's nothing. I have one thing, and then the rest of this is other stuff. So I'm going to say on your Ask anything Wednesday, while you can still ask anything else if you want to ask something about Kentucky. Normally, I'm kind of against that, but today's the day to do it because there's just not any stories. So this is the time to ask. Like, somebody asked me yesterday. I think it was the St. John's fan, and he said, do you think St. John's is going to be. Do the rules favor him? And we got into that conversation. I thought that was good. So, you know, 502 or 879. 27 0, 2287. I think now is the time. Right?

[Ryan]

What did he just say?

[Matt Jones]

I don't know. There's so many numbers. What? What is it again?

[Shannon]

8-59-280. 2 2, 8, 7, 2.

[Matt Jones]

That's what I said.

[Shannon]

8, 7, 9, 6.

[Matt Jones]

I did not say 8, 7, 9. I may have said 2, 7, 0, 2287. Anyway, the point is, everybody knows the stupid number. It's just 859-2802-2-8,7. There's just a lot of numbers in my head today. So. Anyway, Ryan, tonight, today may be a good day to ask a UK question.

[Ryan]

Well, you know, we're early in fall camp, so but maybe some people start to have some football questions or basketball.

[Matt Jones]

Drew, you brought up y the picture of Otaga in the boot, and we questioned whether it was A.I. turns out it was real. You. That was not a fake picture. And he is in a boot. He got injured at the Jason Tatum camp. Okay. Jason Tatum and CP3 have a camp. Apparently he injured his toe that but he decided to to still keep it in a boot. But it is expected he will miss no practice or anything serious. So I just wanted to make sure we updated that because, you know, some people may have left there a little worried after you brought up the picture.

[Drew]

Yeah, no one loves seeing their star player in a boot, but we're a long way from the season still boots, guys wear them often. They wear them more than we'll probably ever know. And Jack confirmed with always mom that it's just the toe. Really. My anger is with Chris Paul and Jason Tatum. Leave him alone. He was here practicing. Why did you take him to Vegas and hurt his toe? I shouldn't have done that.

[Matt Jones]

Vegas. Yeah. Yeah.

[Drew]

People Were noticed he was missing from practice highlights last week, wondering what was going on.

[Matt Jones]

He missed practice to go to this game.

[Drew]

Yeah, that's what I'm. Back off Chris and Jason, we gotta. We got things going on. Alexander, we don't need you hurting our toes in Vegas, but he'll be fine.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I think, I think the rule is, Ryan, the team cannot have like, they can only have one or they can only have a handful of mandatory workouts in the summer. So they do allow these guys to go to things like the Tatum camp during the non mandatory workouts.

[Ryan]

Good experience for Otega too, to go to something like that. You know, he's gonna be looking to expand his wings very soon, go in the NBA. So I'm glad he got that opportunity to play those guys.

[Drew]

A lot of college stars there too. And high school. Like Arkansas SEC had like 10 people there. Arkansas had three. So it was a big event he was a part of. Even though they tried to sabotage.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, don't hurt his toe. That's. That's, that's bad. Now speaking of extremity injuries, Shannon, they put Nick lodolo on the 15 day disabled list for that blister.

[Shannon]

Oh, must have been a really bad blister.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so this is more of a question for the medical community. How is it that we don't have a cure for blisters that doesn't make it take 15 days. Shit. And he's not going to be able to pitch for like three go arounds in the rotation. And this is a key time of year. We won last night. We're rolling. I mean, the summer belly is kind of back on life support. Why can't. Why is it so hard to fix a blister? I know everybody just assumes, oh, you get a blister, but three times around the rotation. Explain to me how we don't have a better way of fixing a blister.

[Shannon]

Yeah, I mean, isn't there something you can just spray on it? You would think like a. I don't know, some sort of like skin that you could spray over top of them.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, there are very few surgeries that keep you in the hospital for. For 15 days. I would think there would be something. I'm Shannon. I agree. A spray. Yeah, that you could spray like a spray and then your skin would just be back. Drew. And there it is. Why is it so hard? What is it? Why do we not have a better cure?

[Drew]

I don't know about the spray, but it seems you just need time for your. That layer of Skin to grow back and cover up the blister. And if you go pitch, it's just gonna make it worse.

[Kentucky Joe]

You.

[Drew]

You need time for that to. To heal.

[Ryan]

That's it. They want it to heal so he can be strong here at the stretch run.

[Matt Jones]

But I don't understand why we don't have easier ways to do that. I think about this stuff all the time. I like. I think about ailments that it feels like to me we should be passed. Like, I still don't understand why there's not a cure for baldness. It feels like there would be a market for it. Shannon. Yeah, like I'm. I'm shocked that people can't do that. I'm always surprised that people. We never have a really a cure for the common cold. We spend so much money on these things and then things that to me would see them seem the most easy to fix. When I saw he was going to be out for 15 days, Ryan, I was furious because it just feels like that shouldn't be how long you're out for a blister.

[Ryan]

Well, I think you guys hit it. I think they just getting completely 100%. He'll get that the blister area completely skin tough again so he can be ready to go and not miss any starts at all. Then during the stretch run, is there.

[Shannon]

Like a 10 day thing you could do or a five day or does it have to be.

[Matt Jones]

It has to be. I don't know how the rules are. I don't know if it has to be 1050, but I saw that it was 15 then because the. The Reds have been playing the Cubs when I get on the TikTok. Because as we established yesterday, Drew, your phone listens to you, right? Like, oh yeah, started getting blister ads on my TikTok now all over my feed are. And this I guess is the thing. Chicago Cubs fans, I guess do this thing where they film themselves watching games. Okay. And they film themselves having live reaction to Cubs games. I don't know. I've never seen any other team do it. I don't know of a Reds fan that does it. I've seen over the years videos of like Kentucky fans at the end of a game losing their stuff. But I've never seen videos where a person's watching the game the whole time. They film themselves and then they cut it into things. Drew, I have to tell you, I've watched 15 of them in the last. In the. Because watching them get upset as the Reds have won on these various plays makes Me so happy. Especially like Monday night when the guy missed the base, you know what I'm talking about? And they got the joy of thinking he had scored and then he missed the base. And I. I have really, really enjoyed them. And I would say to the Kentucky listeners, Drew, I think there's a market out there during this season for stick a camera on yourself, watch the game, just let the reaction come. Then you later edited into a video where you're acting a fool, Drew, I actually think there's a market for that. Yeah.

[Drew]

Especially at Kentucky where we know the emotions run hot during a game. Our guy Steven did one last season and it had a ton of viewers.

[Matt Jones]

Like he did one with just on him.

[Drew]

It was an away game, away basketball game. He had a couple of guests that would rotate it in and out, but mostly just him. And it had more viewers than you'd think there is a market for.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I don't.

[Drew]

Watching people watch a game.

[Matt Jones]

I agree. I don't think you want to watch it live, Ryan, because you want to watch the game. But what. But just keeping it on you acting like you forget that it's there. Like, don't put on a show. Just forget that it's there. Watch it. And then we get to see all the craziness. Like, if there was a camera on me, Shannon, during a game, I couldn't put it out because it would.

[Shannon]

No, I'm gonna be in the shower. You can't put that out.

[Matt Jones]

Serious. Like. Like there are very few people I allowed to see me in that state. It's usually only been women I've dated and a lot. And a couple of them have broken up with me after seeing me. And so if there are people like me who would have similar reactions, you know, I'm pacing around and I'm throwing stuff and I'm, you know, I feel like, Ryan, I would watch if there were a Kentucky fan doing it.

[Ryan]

There's something hilarious about watching people lose their mind over a last second shot or last second play and just going ballistic. There is something entertaining about it.

[Shannon]

I think I would like to see that video of when we were watching the Kentucky game at the B Dubs and you nearly knocked me out of my bar stool for a shot. Do you remember that? I mean, I was going.

[Matt Jones]

The Notre Dame game. I think we took the. We had a shot to take the lead or something and I was. Tried to push you on the ground because I thought it was going to go in.

[Shannon]

Yeah. On the road somewhere, but.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I'm just As someone who appreciates content, I'm telling you, after having seen like 10 of these for the Cubs last night and getting joy and watching them get mad when key Brian Hayes gets the one handed throw to first there, there is a market. Because the great thing is if we win, Drew, everybody's going to want to see you celebrate. If we lose, the other team's fans are going to want to see you upset. So it's perfect, really.

[Drew]

I'm in for the wins and losses just to know that I'm not alone in going chaotic. I think it would almost be therapeutic seeing someone lose their mind if you're someone who loses your mind knowing you're not in it alone.

[Matt Jones]

So my advice though is if you're going to do this, don't try to put on a show and forget the camera is there. Just be yourself and then when it's over you can edit the reactions into a bit. Don't try to live stream it. You're probably not entertaining enough to have a camera on you for two hours straight, but do that. I People ask me sometimes, man, how do you think I could break into this? Because it's harder now than it was when I did it. I think this is a way. I'm just saying. We'll take a break. Be right back. 859-280-2287 it is Ask Anything Wednesday It's.

Welcome back Techie Sports radio People are sending me their home blister solutions, Ryan and like there are sprays and stuff but clearly like they don't work that well. Or wouldn't they do? I'm sure the Reds have seen these, right? So clearly they can't work that well.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you'd think after the all these years advances in medicine, we come up with something more than pickle juice and a band aid.

[Matt Jones]

It doesn't work apparently. You said expand his wings, not spread his wings in the last segment. Did you say that? I didn't hear it probably. Okay, JR says holy boomer radio. Matt is just discovering live streams in 2025. I've discovered them. I've seen them a million times. You know, barstool does them. But the problem. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying these reaction videos, Drew, the only ones I've ever seen on Tick Tock will be like. They'll be like black people hearing country music songs for the first time and getting excited. You know what I'm. You know what I'm talking about. You've seen those, right? Or young people seeing old people's songs for the first time and getting excited. Yeah. You've seen those, right?

[Drew]

I haven't, but that sounds exciting. We all have different algorithms.

[Shannon]

Yeah. Like just reaction. Like live reaction videos.

[Matt Jones]

And I. I've seen sports ones where they do the whole game, but most people are too boring for that. I'm talking this edited, concise, and unless somebody tells me, I don't know of any Kentucky one. People mentioned Stephen. Pete did one. I'm gonna go check that out. But I just am saying to you, I think there would be a market for that. One person writes on Ask Anything Wednesday. Do you think Mark Pope curses during practice? Ryan, you know him better than I do. Do you think he curses during practice? Cal used to curse like a sailor.

[Ryan]

I'm gonna say Pope doesn't, but every now and then, one slips out. I mean, it's nothing else on the regular, I think just every now and.

[Matt Jones]

Then, kind of guy who says, you think, like, freak that.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

That's a bunch of stuff.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Shoot.

[Ryan]

Darn it.

[Matt Jones]

Dag dummit. I bet he does. Who do you think's the biggest cursor? Head coach, uk football, basketball history.

[Ryan]

Oh, in here.

[Shannon]

Rup.

[Matt Jones]

You think it was rough? See, I feel like that was a different time. I feel like people didn't cuss as much. Oh.

[Shannon]

I feel like back then it was a whole lot worse.

[Ryan]

Patina was every other word.

[Matt Jones]

Was it?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

So you think patino more than cowboys?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

What about Billy? I don't know if he cusses, but it feels like he would.

[Ryan]

I don't really know about that either.

[Shannon]

Oh, I'd be willing to put him.

[Ryan]

On the football side.

[Matt Jones]

All of them?

[Drew]

Every one of them.

[Matt Jones]

I don't think there's anybody in foot. I mean, Mark. Mark Stoops curses like a sailor. Rich Brooks did. Was how Mummy a cusser?

[Ryan]

Not with the media, but I'm sure he was on the practice field during the game.

[Matt Jones]

Rich Brooks has a. Rich Brooks did it a lot. I think I heard.

[Ryan]

Let's go beat Florida Damn it. All the time.

[Matt Jones]

Is that your Rich Brooks impression?

[Ryan]

Let's go get Georgia.

[Shannon]

Damn it. I feel like Mark Pope is a gosh dang it. Type of guy.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I think Mark Pope says the word frick at least a couple times a day. I do. I would. I would venture. I would be shocked if there's a coach that cusses as much as Rick Patino or John Cal. Peri. I would think. I mean. I mean, I went to Cal practices. There are a lot of cuss words. But Robick cussed a lot. Drew, you remember when he was. When he would do it?

[Drew]

Yeah, I would think it's common with just about every coach. But Mark Pope.

[Shannon]

I can't hardly see Joe B. Hall going after maybe.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I can't either.

[Matt Jones]

Do you think? I don't see. Was Tubby a cusser? Ryan?

[Ryan]

Not a big cusser. I don't remember him being a big customer.

[Shannon]

I mean, that was. That was his form of cussing.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I'm not. I mean, I'm not a big cusser. I don't. I feel like there are more words to use, but when you're coasting coaching, I think it's like you're not sitting there trying to expand your vocabulary. So I think you just say whatever you say. Who's up first?

[Shannon]

Alan.

[Matt Jones]

Alan. Go ahead, Alan.

[Shannon]

Oh, what is that?

[Matt Jones]

Alan's working somewhere. Right?

[Kentucky Joe]

He's about 6, 8, a solid 260, and moves like.

[Shannon]

Oh, okay.

[Matt Jones]

See? Did you get that?

[Shannon]

Yeah, well, I hit the button. I'm gonna. Yeah, okay.

[Matt Jones]

Well, see, that's what we get.

[Shannon]

That was not Mark Pope words right there.

[Matt Jones]

That's what we get. We sit there and say, does anybody cuss? And we get a guy who says, first caller. But I think a lot of that got dropped.

[Shannon]

I hope he said.

[Matt Jones]

The caller said he's 6A. £250. He's a solid. Murder. Murder and who he was like. And it sounded like he was in a factory, right?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I thought he was giving us a scanning report on some recruit or something for a second.

[Matt Jones]

I want to know more who we talk about. Yeah, we need to start that guy, don't we?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

Especially if he's.

[Matt Jones]

I'm sorry, sir. I wanted you to go first, but you cannot say that. There are some words that we've argued about whether you can say confident. You can't say that.

[Ryan]

Confident.

[Matt Jones]

No, that's the one. I know. You can't say. What's next?

[Shannon]

Let's go to Kyle.

[Matt Jones]

Kyle, Go ahead, Kyle.

[Kentucky Joe]

Is this Say anything Wednesday.

[Matt Jones]

No, no, you heard it because you're on hold. Yeah, yeah.

[Kentucky Joe]

Yes, I did. My ears are burning. No, hey, I just heard yesterday that ESPN has got their app. Yeah, I've cut the cord on everything. I cut my Direct TV. I cut my YouTube TV. I was just. All I was watching was the Office and Judge Judy. So with having espn, totally, I can watch every UK game in basketball, football. Is that correct?

[Matt Jones]

Yes. If you have the ESPN app, which, starting August 21, you don't have to have cable. You can just buy it from espn. You'll get pretty much every UK game. There might be one or two where we played a road game against a team that their contract is with a different partner. I don't know that there is one off the top of my head, but that could happen. But for the most part, you would get every UK game on that. So, yeah, it's. It's expensive. I think I saw it was $29 or something. But you would get all the ESPN stuff.

[Kentucky Joe]

And, yes, that does include the SEC network again.

[Matt Jones]

Would include the SEC network, yes. So it's. It's a way for you to have espn, but you don't have to go through cable.

[Kentucky Joe]

That's what I like to hear. And just one more quick thing, and I don't, you know, don't get mad at me, Matt, but this is Ask Anything Wednesday.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Kentucky Joe]

How does your mom feel? How does your mom feel about you advertising for gambling sites? Love you, man.

[Matt Jones]

You know, I don't know. We've never really talked about it. The only time my mom and I have ever talked about an ad was when I started with Cornbread Hemp. And then I explained to her honestly how it helped me sleep at a time she knew that I was really struggling sleeping during that time after I got out of the hospital. And she kind of said, like, if it helps you, then I want you to do it. So. So, yeah, we've never really talked about gambling. I mean, my grandfather was very against gambling, but then his brothers would buy lottery tickets and say it wasn't gambling. And we always used to laugh at that. So, you know, I mean, I. I like to sports gamble, but I can see why people would be against it. But we've actually never talked about it. Cornbread hemp was the only time we ever, ever chatted. We'll take a break because I don't do cigarettes or alcohol. So we'll take a break. Be right back. TJ Smith, personal injury attorney.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Call tj.

[Matt Jones]

He'll make him pay now.

[Shannon]

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

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, that is kind of what that guy said. This is not really a song, Shannon. I. It comes on Willie's Roadhouse sometimes.

[Shannon]

I kind of like it, though, man.

[Matt Jones]

You do? Because all he does, he does it. It's not a song. He just talks the whole time.

[Shannon]

Yeah, but I like. It's Jimmy Dean.

[Matt Jones]

Is it the same Jimmy Dean as the sauces?

[Shannon]

You know, I've always wondered that. I never looked it up. It might be. I can make sausage.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, the guy's gotta have gotten famous to make sausage somehow.

[Shannon]

That's right.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Yeah. A 592-80-2287. One person says, Matt, I thought it was odd that guy asked you about the cornbread hemp, by the way. I didn't. That's a good question. You. You know, nothing wrong with asking that. There's a lot of people who probably have thought the same thing. But you skipped over the fact that he only watches Judge Judy and the Office. Don't you think those are two odd shows to watch? Yeah, Drew. I mean, what do you think about he only watches the Office and Judge Judy? Now?

[Drew]

Listeners probably heard me laugh out loud at that one.

[Matt Jones]

That's.

[Drew]

That's a great combo. I. I didn't know Judge Judy held up. Everybody binges the office.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'll.

[Drew]

I'll still check on the office. But Judge Judy still packs a punch.

[Shannon]

My neighbor will record that and go back and watch it later in the day.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Shannon]

Loves Judge Judy.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. That's interesting. I. I can't. I don't. You know what? I don't think I've ever watched one episode of Judge Judy. I don't know that I. Maybe it's just because I did law. I hate the judge shows because I feel like nobody knows. You know what I mean? Like, it's not. I guess, Shannon. Because it's not real law.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Did she go to law school?

[Matt Jones]

I'm sure she did.

[Shannon]

You think so?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

What about Mills Lane? He didn't go to law school. He was a boxing referee.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, he didn't. He was only about. Or did he go to law school and a boxing.

[Shannon]

Well, maybe he did, but, I mean, I always thought he was a boxing ref. Yeah, but if you went to law school, why would you be a boxing ref?

[Matt Jones]

Well, if you went to law school, why would you own a wrestling company? Why would you do a sports radio? You know, I mean, like, people have varied interest. One person writes, matt, if you had a live reaction video on you. What Kentucky games would have provided the best content? Oh, those are great. That's a great question.

[Ryan]

It is a good question.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so I think the best content would be games, Ryan, where I was, like, going back and forth between happiness and worried.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

So 2014 Wichita State. Wow. With me pacing back and forth in that exercise room in the hotel, I feel like that would have been a really funny video. You know, any UK Louisville game, you will see me going nuts a lot.

[Ryan]

Was there one you ended up on, like, an exercise bike?

[Matt Jones]

That was the Wichita State game.

[Ryan]

Oh, that was Wichita State game.

[Matt Jones]

That was Wichita State. There's probably never been a game that I thought was more going to give me a heart attack in that Wichita State game. Because you remember that game was just back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. You remember that? I mean, it was like. Yeah, they just kept. Just trading baskets.

[Ryan]

I got a poop tooth that game.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, that's right.

[Ryan]

You chipped my tooth on the fried ravioli.

[Drew]

Me, you and Rob Bromley sitting there eating lunch together.

[Matt Jones]

You chipped your tooth on ravioli, which would be hard to do. What. Can you. Can you all think of a game where, if you'd had it, it would have been good watching back and forth.

[Ryan]

You said Louisville. I was going to say that Louisville game up in Indianapolis that we did the pregame show, and then you kind of hid from everybody and had to walk back to the arena to do the postgame show after the game. That. That whole game, I think was probably.

[Matt Jones]

I think the reaction. If you had my reaction when Austin McGinnis made the field goal against Mississippi State to send us to a bowl that was a pretty great one. I think anytime. Anytime. It's a game where it's back and forth. Those are the ones at the Wichita State stands out. Drew, does one stand out for you?

[Drew]

I'm a bad example because I've been trained for 15 years.

[Matt Jones]

You don't have any emotion. Yeah, well, it's bad.

[Drew]

Like, even when I go to a Titans game, I don't clap because I'm so used to being told I can't clap. Like, Abby will nudge me. Like, you're not working. You can cheer here. Like, my body is trained to be stoic. But I will add, I was hesitant to confess this. Right now I'm looking at what I think is a broken finger. Yesterday I was playing the video game and Texas A and M ranked undefeated, beat me on a Hail Mary and I. I was stood up for the final play and I stuck my Hand in my ceiling fan, and right now, my finger does not bend, and it is very purple.

[Matt Jones]

So I'm playing a video game.

[Drew]

Yes, it was a bad call, too. He was out of bounds, fourth and, like, 18.

[Matt Jones]

But I threw.

[Drew]

I threw my hand in my controller up and stuck it right in a ceiling fan. So yesterday would have actually been a funny one.

[Matt Jones]

That's awful. That's. That. That's really bad. I'll tell you otherwise, though.

[Drew]

I'm. I hate that It. Like, I love my job, but you don't show emotion.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Drew]

And they tell you get in trouble if you're cheering the press box.

[Matt Jones]

I sit next to you. When we lost Oakland, you showed no emotion whatsoever. That's. That's crazy to me.

[Drew]

Made me a robot.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I'll tell you another one. If you had a live stream on me and my mom when Big Z scored all those points in the Georgia game, that's a good. I was sitting with her, like, in the low arena, and she and I were losing it. Like, that was. That. That would be. I think that would be one that people would. Would like. Who's next? Shannon?

[Shannon]

Chris.

[Matt Jones]

Chris. Go ahead. Chris. Chris.

[Shannon]

People are having trouble with their phones.

[Matt Jones]

All right, go.

[Kentucky Joe]

Did you tell your ACDC story?

[Matt Jones]

My ac. Oh, yeah. How do you remember that?

[Kentucky Joe]

As a long time ago. You brought.

[Matt Jones]

That was a long time ago.

[Shannon]

I don't know if I know your story.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I appreciate the call.

[Ryan]

Do you ask anything Wednesday?

[Matt Jones]

You all know this story.

[Ryan]

I don't recall you telling an ACDC story.

[Matt Jones]

When I was, I don't know, 15, 16, 17, something like that. The state high school academic tournament was in Louisville. Like, academic team, you know, quick recall. And we were there, and AC DC was staying at the same hotel as us. It's that. It was that old. What's the hotel out there next to the. To the. To Freedom Hall, Shannon. The Crown Plaza.

[Shannon]

Plaza. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, yeah. It was that hotel. We were there. And I walked. I was walking down the hall, and I smelled weed, which, you know, at that age, I guess, Shannon. I didn't smell a lot.

[Shannon]

Yeah, because there was a skunk in there.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, because Middlesbrough. I mean, they had it, but they didn't bring it around me because my mom was the prosecutor. Right. Yeah. So I never saw it. And I smelled. And I looked in and the door was open, and it was, like, part of ACDC in there smoking. And I don't know, I walked in and they kind of looked at me like, you can't be in here, kid. While we smoke. Weed in the Ace in the Crown Plaza in Louisville. And it was the dude who's the guitar player. Angus.

[Shannon]

Angus Young.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, he was in there. And I was like, wow. And then one of them said, come. Then one of them kind of gave me a bad look, and one of them said to come in. And I got. I got scared and I ran.

[Shannon]

Oh, my gosh. You could have hung out with AC DC.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. At 16, though, that's probably not what you want to do. You know, my mom's listening. I don't think she's ever heard that story until right now. And so then I went back, and I think I was rooming with Bobob and went back to my room for Quick recall. So, yeah, that's almost.

[Shannon]

You have run away from every cool opportunity you've had to hang out with somebody.

[Matt Jones]

But I was scared. I was scared until I was eight.

[Shannon]

You're also scared of Kelly. Kelly. Weren't you? Admit it.

[Matt Jones]

I was not scared. I wanted that to. That would have been nice to work out. I was scared of Marilyn Manson. I'll say that. I was definitely scared of Marilyn Manson.

[Shannon]

You could have hung out with Marilyn Manson.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I was definitely scared of him. Who's next?

[Shannon]

Chase.

[Matt Jones]

Chase. Go ahead, Chase.

[Kentucky Joe]

Morning, gentlemen. Shannon. I got two things. One, I'm firmly with Ryan. You get a blister on your index finger or your middle finger as a pitcher, man. Good luck.

[Matt Jones]

So what does it do? Help me understand, because I love lodolo, and I. I'm not understanding what. What makes it so bad.

[Kentucky Joe]

I mean, you. You can't. You can't firmly grip the seams. I mean, you're not throwing a fastball and getting any rotation on that and getting any movement, man. You're throwing that to big league batters, man. They're hitting that out of the park.

[Matt Jones]

So it just makes you less effective, is what you're saying.

[Kentucky Joe]

Oh, significantly. And, you know, and I get. Shannon, you play college ball. I get it. But. And I'm with Ryan. All right.

[Matt Jones]

Two gets it. But, you know, yeah, I would have thrown two.

[Kentucky Joe]

I, I. Look, I grew up playing college or, I mean, sports year round, and the worst thing you could do is quit on your team. Is that not what severe Wheeler did? I feel like that guy glossed over. I don't want to pick on him, but, you know, it was kind of just, you know, shrouded in.

[Matt Jones]

Let me throw that one to Drew. What would you say Sevier Wheeler did at the end of that, What, Kansas State season. Is that right? What would you Say he. What would you say he did?

[Drew]

I feel like the Calder caller just nailed it. I don't have to say it. I mean, there were reports of his practicing, and he's back. We even got to the tournament. Where were we? Greensboro.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Drew]

And they were, like, making a point to talk about his comeback. But you and I both, I think going back to January, we're getting messages like, don't listen. It's not true. He ain't playing. I mean, three months before you got to March, and I were believing that the whole time. So whoever those anonymous texters were, when we were getting the beginning, then we followed up and looked at it. We were hearing Severe quit in January. And then, of course, we didn't see him again.

[Matt Jones]

That team, if I were ranking teams that had internal turmoil. Ryan, is that team number one or is the team turmoil with tubby number one? Both.

[Ryan]

They're 1A and 1B, I think.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, that's. So that's like. What year was team turmoil? 2002, I think. That's right.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Oh, two.

[Matt Jones]

Was it Tayshawn was on that team or was it. Oh, no. 30405. We were good all those years. It was. I think it was 02. I think it was Tayshawn senior year, even though he wasn't involved. I might be wrong about that. Maybe. Maybe it was a different year. But the severe Wheeler, I mean, the team was divided, and people like to gloss over this, but it's just the case. The team was divided. Most of the team was on severe Wheeler side, and then there was Oscar. And Oscar was beloved by the fans. He was beloved by the community. He was beloved by the boosters. He's beloved by, you know, pretty much. And then you had. The team itself was kind of just not feeling him to really use the term. And Coleman and really the head of it was severe, and Oscar and severe just, I think, just kind of Drew walked away. Right. And then you ended up with this team where Sevier was not the best player, but he was probably the vocal leader, and he wasn't even there. And then you had Oscar, who was seen as the leader, but really wasn't, and you just ended up with a team that just had no direction. Drew whatsoever. Yep.

[Drew]

And we don't have to use the person's name, but someone very high up in UK athletics. Remember, we saw them in Greensboro and we asked them at the pregame show, but not on the air. Like, what's all this Wheeler buzz? Is he really going to play? And the person who Would know was like, no, not.

[Matt Jones]

Come on. Yeah.

[Drew]

I mean, it was a definitive, like, laughter.

[Matt Jones]

No, like what I've never heard, though, Drew, is why. I mean, I know that players thought Oscar got too much. Not too much love for playing, but I think there was just. How would you describe how players felt about Oscar? How would you. You two both. How would you describe that?

[Drew]

I don't know this to be the case because I wasn't living it, but my. How I interpreted hearing stories. It was like in. In school when the. There's like, the goody goody in class. There's nothing wrong with them. They're a great person. Everyone likes them. But they're like telling the teacher when someone's late or, we forgot the quiz today. It was almost like he was being too perfect to where it annoyed everyone around them when they really know him, and they're like, all right, man, you're not that perfect.

[Matt Jones]

We know. I think that's exactly putting this image. That's exactly right. Yeah. Yeah. I think there was this idea of everybody's like. Like, oh, he's Mr. Perfect. And everybody was like, no, you're not just bad.

[Drew]

And the Oscar wasn't fake, but it's. It was almost like he had this image of he could do no wrong. And I just think the people around him that shared the locker room maybe thought it was over the top. That's how I interpret it.

[Matt Jones]

I don't think it was like that Oscar's first year, but I think people kind of felt like that the second year. And then the players were just closer with severe, and then it ended up in that moment. Where did he quit? I mean, I don't want to say somebody quit, but maybe don't miss your shot to win big and support a great cause with Commonwealth causes.

[Ryan]

Well, I know you don't think you ever told it on the air. For sure.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Should have seen my reaction Cam, when I walked into that room.

[Shannon]

Oh, yeah, I would have loved to see that.

[Matt Jones]

Mills slain was a lawyer, by the way.

[Shannon]

District court judge from Utah. Wasn't it Some little Utah college, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

So there you go. We'll take a break. Be right back.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio 859-280-2287. Some folks giving games that would be good Ryan, how about the Ole Miss football game last year?

[Ryan]

Oh, absolutely.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I was with my buddies at the game. There's that picture drew of me with my shirt in my mouth during it. But if you had. Yeah, if you had me when Barry and Brown got that touchdown or that catch that led to the touchdown, you would have seen me being pretty insane. That would been a good one for a reaction cam.

[Drew]

The Ole Miss game before that, I took off and went. As a fan, we had had a. Had a couple cold pops before the game, and Dane gets that touchdown, and pretty much everyone in my row had shirts off, and we're throwing them around.

[Matt Jones]

You had your shirt off?

[Drew]

I didn't. You know, I'm still. I'm still working on the physique, but a lot of people around me who don't have great physiques took their shirts off and we were losing our minds, just oblivious to the yellow flag on the field.

[Ryan]

Took it away.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. You and I are not really. Shirts off, guys. That's a Ryan Lemon thing.

[Drew]

More than the front row of Oxford.

[Matt Jones]

You know, Oklahoma SEC tournament game this year. That's a good one.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's a great. That was a great one.

[Matt Jones]

That would have been a really good one. Although my friend Dwayne spoiled it. And I already knew we won before he made this. What? On my. Yeah, I've told you that when we, you know, we were down.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

My cable feed was like a minute. We were streaming it, so it was like a minute and a half behind. He had looked online and saw we won, so he just looked at. He just whispered and said, you will be all right, friend. That's what he said.

[Ryan]

Dwayne, come on.

[Matt Jones]

I was actually okay with it. It was trying to make me not nervous.

[Shannon]

So.

[Matt Jones]

Nervous about the game. One person writes. What do you and Shannon think about Howard Stern being canceled?

[Shannon]

Wait, what?

[Matt Jones]

Well, he wasn't canceled there. He. The report is that Sirius is not going to renew his. His contracts up at the end of the year, and they're not going to renew.

[Shannon]

Oh, I didn't. It's breaking news to me.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I don't know if it's. It's like being said by some people, but I haven't seen it in official report. But. But I'm not surprised by it. He cost a bajillion dollars.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Like, he costs a zillion dollars. And while Howard Stern. There was a period of time from, like, 1998, 99 through, like, 2007 where I probably listened to every episode, you know, that Time's kind of passed and while occasionally I'll turn it on, you know, it's just not the same. I mean, times change, Shannon.

[Shannon]

He only does like three days a week of live shows now. The rest are older now. I mean, 71, I think.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, he's my, he's my parents age.

[Shannon]

Yeah, he's definitely lost his edge too. I mean, it's not as.

[Matt Jones]

It's just not the same. Like, it's just not the same. So. I mean, I, I understand. I think he did exactly what Serious wanted, which is he. I bought Sirius for him, Shannon.

[Shannon]

Oh, yeah, I did too.

[Matt Jones]

You know what. So I mean, clearly it worked.

[Shannon]

I didn't think he was ever going to retire. I guess they're retiring them, you know, for him right now.

[Matt Jones]

I've been a subscriber to serious for 23 years because of him. So, I mean, they've made enough money for me probably justify.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Who's up next?

[Shannon]

Well, Kentucky Joe.

[Matt Jones]

[Kentucky Joe]

I'm saying good morning to it. It's been a good show this morning.

[Matt Jones]

All right.

[Kentucky Joe]

I got a comment and maybe a, an offering too. I can't, I can't get over that show on Friday. You know, what's the. I mean with the UK football players especially. I can't say his name.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, don't even try. You were going to say Cheeky Pete and that's, that's a, that's a mafia member. That's not him.

[Kentucky Joe]

Well, I, I'll tell you what's happened. It's. It's touched my heart. And I also got a song about him.

[Matt Jones]

No song. No song. You know, we don't need a song. I think that's very, I think that's very sweet of you to say something nice about him because he, he, he has kind of taken over big blue nation.

[Kentucky Joe]

Yeah. God. I'm thinking, I think UK's gonna have a heck of a football team this year. It's gonna be a surprise. I'm going out. I'm going out on limb. I'm gonna say nine and three.

[Matt Jones]

Nine, three. All right. Well, good. Well, you're on the positive end of the predictions. Appreciate the call. Yeah. Sh. He's got to get. Don't you think drew an nil deal or something after all this? Right. I think I would buy one of his products.

[Drew]

Absolutely. I would love a Shias Pete shirt. Assuming he plays the way he's expected to. I think he's only going to grow more and more popular with the fan base.

[Shannon]

I would love to see his reaction of Joe actually sing a song for him like to his face. We can make that happen.

[Ryan]

Start crying. Pete may start crying.

[Matt Jones]

He'd love it.

[Ryan]

Big emotional teddy bear.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I would love it too. I would. You know, I. I wish, I wish I could have him on my interrupted podcast.

[Shannon]

Kentucky Joe is available all the time.

[Matt Jones]

No, no, not Kentucky Joe. She has Pete. Kentucky Joe can. You know, I think we get enough of him. We'll take a break. Be right back. Hour 2 KSR hey, it's Ryan Seacrest.
