Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Festival Season in Louisville

• Discussion of festival line-ups and crowds
  • Shannon shares updates on two big festivals: Bourbon & Beyond and Louder Than Life.
  • Both events are anticipated to draw 50,000–60,000 attendees nightly in Louisville—a mix of overlapping audiences.
  • Louder Than Life leans heavily "metal" this year with headliners like Slayer, Rob Zombie, Manson, Avenged Sevenfold, Deftones, and Bring Me the Horizon.
  • Bourbon & Beyond has high demand for tickets, potentially more than previous years. The crew debates what’s driving this—big names like Noah Kahan, Benson Boone, or just the event’s general popularity.
• Humorous attire comparison for concerts
  • Matt jokes about his cowboy hat at country concerts versus "dressing the part" at other genres.
    • Quote (Matt): “If I end up going to a heavy metal concert and wearing a T shirt like that and chains, you’re gonna have to take up for me.” (02:04)

2. Cutting the Cord: Goodbye DirecTV

• Matt’s confession:
  • After 20 years as a DirecTV subscriber, Matt finally cancels his service due to high costs and the viability of streaming alternatives.
  • Anecdotes on quirky cable TV relics—religious channels and music channels bring a bit of nostalgia.
  • Group reflects on their own transitions away from traditional cable, poking fun at the outdated technology and “absurd” monthly bills (over $230 at one point).
    • Quote (Matt): “Now they’re actually bundling up cable to where we’re just gonna have cable again.” (03:47)
    • Quote (Matt): “I was paying like $230 a month… I told them give me everything—well, I didn’t get the porn—but like everything else…” (06:10, 06:15)

3. Tennis Gossip: Holger Rune's Relentless Pursuit

• Trending tennis podcast revelation:
  • Anna Kalinskaya publicly shares that Holger Rune (Mistakenly called “Holger Dane” at first—corrected later as Holger Rune) has DMed her asking for a date ten times, all rejected.
  • Rune’s quote: “If I want to go on a date, I ask for a date.”
  • Other female players confirm similar stories; the crew debates when persistence becomes too much.
• Debate: Is outing him fair? How many times should you ask someone out?
  • Consensus: “One ‘no’ is enough. Move on.” (Shannon, 10:07)
    • Quote (Shannon): “There’s plenty of fish in the sea. You’re not the only one.” (10:07)
  • Ryan admits maybe he’d try a second shot, but not ten—“Ten is a little stalker. It’s a little creepy.” (10:23)
  • Banter about “moves” for asking someone out; Ryan humorously describes his zero-game approach: asking out coworkers face-to-face for a drink or a meal.
    • Quote (Ryan): “You take your shot, you get your own rebound…” (10:23)

4. Coldplay Concert Viral Incident: Separated Before the Scandal?

• Update on viral concert incident:
  • Recall: Man hides, woman mortified—husband later claims they were already separated when the viral picture was taken.
  • The crew questions why it took months for him to speak up.
    • Quote (Matt): “He kind of let his ex just flounder out there for a long time.” (14:17)
  • Discussion expands into public shaming and the aftermath for people caught in viral moments, referencing the book “So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed.”
    • Quote (Matt): “I do wonder, Shannon… do you ever think, what happens to these people after it’s over?” (16:10)

5. UK Football QB Criticism & Transfer Portal Economics

• Caller Rick raises concerns about Kentucky’s quarterback situation, suggesting UK isn’t spending enough in the transfer portal.
  • Matt and Drew explain that Kentucky has actually spent well on recent transfers (Vandagriff, Leary), but results haven’t panned out.
  • Calzada likely wasn’t the most expensive QB, as much NIL was spent keeping Cutter Bowley.
    • Quote (Drew): “I think people are putting a little too much money into Calzada’s bank account… last year, the small look at Bowley—you just couldn’t put all your eggs in that basket. But Leary and Vandagriff were very expensive, and… those didn’t work out either.” (20:25)

6. Football Game TV Ratings & National Attention

• Kentucky vs. Ole Miss:
  • Second-most watched game of the previous weekend (4.8 million viewers, sixth most watched game of the season).
  • Discussion about how these high-exposure games can be double-edged swords if the team collapses under the national spotlight.
    • Quote (Matt): “It probably played out the worst it could, Drew, because I think everybody turned over just in time to see us fall apart…” (25:24)
  • Importance: UK’s schedule guarantees regular big-time national TV slots due to the Louisville rivalry and end-of-season FCS game planning.

7. Fans’ Role and Kentucky’s Struggles

• Caller debate: Should fans always talk about their team winning?
  • Matt: Support at games is expected, but “blind optimism isn’t analysis.”
    • Quote (Matt): “That’s just not, that’s not analysis. That’s just being a cheerleader.” (28:35)
• Offensive woes & coordinator consistency compared to Nick Saban/Alabama; Stoops is praised for long-term defensive success, but offense is inconsistent.

8. Additional Topics, Listener Calls & Banter

• Shoe/Boot Advice for Matt’s Africa Trip: Multiple listeners offer advice on hiking shoes, "breaking in" boots, and essential gear like insect repellent.
  • Quote (Drew): “You’re getting too serious with this boot. You just need something to keep your feet comfortable… sneaker Hoka hiking boot, you’re fine.” (23:24)
• Baseball team’s brutal 2025 SEC schedule: UK draws 8 of the top 10 teams in the league.
  • Quote (Drew): “Maybe we’ll be one of the problems for those other teams.” (36:34)
• Humor: Four waitresses named Madison:
  • Joking on trending names, “Madison” was the 3rd most popular female name in 2005; jokes about what to do when all servers are named Madison.
    • Quote (Matt): “I think women are only named Madison of that age group.” (42:31)
    • Quote (Drew): “Do you know what the number three most popular name in the year 2005 was? Madison.” (43:43)
• Callers interject jokes, random charity requests, and attempts at humor—keeping KSR’s call-in tradition lively.

Nmlsconsumeraccess.Org welcome to hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back. Hour number 285-928-02287. Text machine is 772-774-5254. It is wings day. KS Bar Dollar Wings all day. Try the new hamburgers as well. The Phone lines are open. 859-280-2287. We did some interviews and stuff, so if you were gonna want to get in, today's a good chance. One person writes, matt, you dress like a cowboy at country concerts. How's that different than Craig?

[Shannon]

Good point.

[Matt Jones]

That's a fair point. Fair point. Because I have my cowboy hat, I only wear it at an occasional country concert. So fair enough. But Shannon, if I end up, if I end up going to a heavy metal concert and wearing a T shirt like that and chains, you're gonna have to take up for.

[Shannon]

Yeah, I'll take you in.

[Caller]

We'll.

[Shannon]

We'll have a good time. We'll go go. Mosh.

[Matt Jones]

Are you out there like the whole.

[Shannon]

Time I am out there eight. Well, eight out of 11 days. Because remember, Louder than Life is the next Thursday. So we get Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday off, then we're right back.

[Matt Jones]

Who are the big people at Larger Than Life?

[Shannon]

It's. It's very metal heavy this year. It's Slayer and like Rob Zombie and Manson.

[Matt Jones]

But isn't it always?

[Shannon]

Yeah, well, yes, those other ones, but Avenge, Sevenfold, Deftones, Bring Me the Horizon, those are the big headlining bands for each night.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. But yeah, both those. What is the total amount of people that will be in Louisville for those two? It's a crazy amount of people, right?

[Shannon]

Yeah, I mean, I would say around 50 to 60 per night. Now, some of those people may be the same people. Right.

[Matt Jones]

For 50, 60,000.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I will tell you just anecdotally, I've had more people hitting me up for tickets for Bourbon and Beyond than I have in a long time.

[Shannon]

Yeah, it's a good lineup.

[Matt Jones]

Why do you think that is, Drew? You think. Is that Benson Boone or Noah Khan or. Who is it? Why is that?

[Drew]

I really don't know. I don't want to say this one's down, but they've had some big stars every year, so this one doesn't seem that unique compared to past years. Maybe it's just a good event people want to be a part of. It is pretty star studded.

[Matt Jones]

All right, a couple things. I finally, ryan cut the DirecTV chord after 20 years.

[Ryan]

Wow.

[Matt Jones]

Of having DirecTV.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I finally just one day was like, you know what? Why do I still pay for this? You can get all this stuff other places, you know. Now they're actually bundling up cable to where we're just gonna have cable again. When I called to give it back to them, they asked me. They looked at my. The box I had, and, you know, normally they make you return the box. They were just like, you can just take yours to recycle.

[Ryan]

Just punted, outdated. Nothing we can do with it.

[Matt Jones]

You can take yours to recycling. I was like, okay, I guess so. So now I don't know who is still subscribing to DirecTV, but they lost one subscriber and I realized how much I was paying for it. It was absurd. So there's any. Do any. You all don't. None of you still have it, right? No, no.

[Ryan]

Got rid of it a long time ago.

[Shannon]

Yeah. So good to see they take care of their customers. I mean, they could have given you a newer box, but no, they just let you keep the same one. For 21 years, I've called Before and.

[Matt Jones]

They'Re like, does yours work? And I'd say, yeah. They go, then I think you're good. I don't know what to do. I don't know. What would the new box have even gotten?

[Shannon]

I mean, maybe. Maybe a new remote control that doesn't stick, you know?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, yeah. Well, all that stuff would have been good. So. But it is kind of, you know, it's been a long time. So I'm trying to figure out there are going to be channels that I will completely forget exist. You know, I used to sometimes during the middle of the night, like go look at. I don't think people know unless you have DirecTV, how many religious channels are out there. There'd be like 90 channels with preachers on. And so sometimes really late at night, I would just flip and there'd be somebody yelling at me in Houston and then somebody yelling at me in Salt Lake City, then somebody yelling at me in St. Louis. And I kind of liked it. I thought it was. It was very. It would take me back to my childhood of 70 or 80, like pictures all over the country. I'll probably never see those channels again.

[Drew]

I haven't seen DirecTV in about 15 years. But do they still have the black channels that just play different music? Like this is the. Yes, the rap channel. We're not gonna put anything on it. It's just gonna be a blank screen. But we'll play music for you and.

[Matt Jones]

They'Ll play like spa music and jazz music. And you know, it was a. It was a good product. It's just now, it just, it doesn't make sense. I mean, I was looking at the bill. I think Ryan, at the end I was paying like $230 a month.

[Drew]

Oh my goodness.

[Ryan]

Goodness.

[Shannon]

I thought 120 was.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I think because I told him, give me everything. Like, say, well, I didn't, I didn't get the porn. But like everything else, I was like, give me air. Cuz I just was like, I just want to have the options. But the reality is you say you want that and, and then you don't watch it all, you know, you can't. I mean, when was the last time you turned on stars? Well, I had stars. I don't think I've turned on stars in 10 years. But I think I was paying for it, Shannon, every month. And. But why? I've never watched one show on there, I don't think.

[Shannon]

I think more and more people are cutting the cord and realizing there are other options when it comes to watching what you Want to watch. And you can get it a lot of different ways.

[Matt Jones]

So here a couple stories I want your all's opinion on. Drew, I'll start with you on this one because you and I were one time tennis beat reporters. Right back in. Oh, yeah.

[Drew]

Good ones.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so I. When I see tennis now, I don't necessarily know who these people are, but there's a woman, very popular tennis players, very attractive. And I think that's also why she's very. She's good, but she's also very attractive. Her name is like Anna Kalinskia. Does anybody know who that is?

[Drew]

Any of the not familiar.

[Matt Jones]

Do not. All right. I don't either. You do, Drew.

[Drew]

Well, I just keeping up with recent events.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. Yeah. So I didn't know who she was, but she's Anna Kalinsky. And there's a male player whose name is Holger Dane, which is an unfortunate name, Holger, but his name is Holger Dane. And Anna Kalinsky was on a podcast, and she said that Holger Dane had asked her out 10 times in her DMS, that she never has said yes, but that he keeps asking her out.

[Caller]

And.

[Matt Jones]

And she said he must have a lot of confidence. Now, remember, these are both very good tennis players. So, I mean, in the, in the basketball world, this would be like, I don't know, Ron Howard saying that Devin Booker just keeps asking her out over and over and over. Holger Dane was like, no, I don't. I'm just being friendly. And then a couple of other women's tennis players are like, well, he asked me out all the time too. And it's becoming not. Not that he's, like, creepy, but that Holger Dane is asking out all of the female tennis players, and they all say no, and they're all saying no. Wow. So in the tennis world. The tennis world is kind of like, Holger Dane looks like a good looking guy. Why aren't people going out with Holger Dane? My question for you is, does aunt did Anna Kalinskia, did she violate some sort of tennis bro slash female code in outing Holger Dane as being multiple times asked out? Oh, and he also was asked about it, and he said, if I want to go on a date, I asked for a date. That was his. That was his quote, which I thought was a really funny quote. So what do you think, Drew?

[Drew]

I think she just reached her breaking point. Also, a key detail in this is she dated Yannick Sinner for a long time, who's ranked A few spots higher than him on the.

[Matt Jones]

So maybe he's just dated the dude her. His rival before?

[Drew]

A little bit.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Drew]

Definitely someone he plays against. I think that makes it even weirder. Also, like, dude, there's a lot of people in the world. Like, you don't have to date this person that you travel city to city with. That's on the women's tour.

[Matt Jones]

All right, what is the most assuming that you're not being like, because. Because she was clear that find him, like, creepy at all. Like, that they spoke and they were friendly. But what is the most amount of no's, Shannon, you can get before you should just say, it's just not gonna happen. One. Yeah, for me, it's one being.

[Shannon]

You know, having somebody say no one time is enough for me. I don't need to come back and ask again.

[Matt Jones]

So you're like. You wouldn't say even a second time. I'm gonna try again.

[Shannon]

I would say there's plenty of fish in the sea. You're not the only one. I'm gonna move on to somebody who is one. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Drew, what about you? One. Yep.

[Drew]

No, it's good.

[Matt Jones]

Try.

[Drew]

Well, big gulps, huh? See you later. It's. That's all I need. Just got my. No, I'm out.

[Matt Jones]

Ryan, I feel like you might get to two or three sometimes. Am I right about that?

[Ryan]

You know, sometimes you take a shot, you get your own rebound, and you shoot again. So maybe you need to take a second shot at it. But 10. 10 is a little mud. 10. It gets a little stalker. It's a little creepy.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You get your own rebound.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Take your shot.

[Matt Jones]

Sounds like. It sounds like you took a shot, you got blocked, and then you were like, but I'll be able to shoot over them this time.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I can maybe put a spin move on the person and dunk over their head and.

[Drew]

Wow.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Your angel Reese down there getting your own rebound.

[Ryan]

So you guys gotta follow your shot. Right after they teach you. You gotta follow your shot.

[Matt Jones]

You have us. You have a spin move with ladies you use sometimes.

[Ryan]

Oh, my spin the post is.

[Matt Jones]

I don't undeniable.

[Drew]

I don't need to hear this.

[Matt Jones]

How do you. What is the most common way. Ryan, you have asked out women over the years. I'm kind of fascinated on what your. What your moves are.

[Ryan]

I have absolutely 100% zero moves. I mean, zero.

[Matt Jones]

So you've asked people out. What was the common way?

[Ryan]

You've done it face to face.

[Matt Jones]

What do you say? What do you.

[Ryan]

What do you say, say, hey, you want to go grab something to eat? Want to go hang out for a little bit? That's pretty much I have zero moves. I have never been Rico Suave whatsoever. So I fully admit.

[Matt Jones]

You say, you want to go grab something to eat, hang out, let's go hang out. That's your date?

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think that's pretty much it. Have a drink. And that's pretty much all I got.

[Matt Jones]

The problem for me is if you ask somebody out like you want to go get, get something to eat? I'd be like, how do you know if they're interested in you or not? That could be platonic. Like you're just going to get lunch or something. How do you know that there's romantic interest?

[Ryan]

Oh, when you're sitting there at the dinner table over your cheeseburger and french.

[Matt Jones]

Fries, but you're already, but, but like you're already at dinner with him. I'm saying when you're, let's say because you've asked out most of your people if I'm, if I'm correct from work. Am I right with that?

[Ryan]

Over the years, the, the pretty much, yes. My spirit doesn't go up outside the newsroom. That's pretty much it.

[Matt Jones]

They don't work right in front of him.

[Shannon]

He's not, he's got a type. They have to work in news.

[Matt Jones]

He's, he's got it type. They got to be in the room, baby.

[Ryan]

You, you, you, you glance over, catch eyes and then you kind of, you can kind of feel it. You kind of know, okay, something's going down here. You can feel it.

[Matt Jones]

When you clance sure glanced eye.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. They start, you know, addressing you with their eyes. I think they got.

[Matt Jones]

Now you're being ridiculous. I'm being serious. So you, you would then go up to them and say, let's go grab something neat.

[Ryan]

I, I, yeah, I mean I'm old and you know, when I, after I got divorced, there was no on the dating, no getting on apps, no looking for somebody. It just kind of just naturally happened with yoga girl.

[Matt Jones]

All right, well, good for you. Well, I, I, do you feel bad at all, Shannon, for Holger Dane that he got called out for 10 no's?

[Shannon]

I feel bad that he asked her 10 times. I don't feel bad that he got called out. He should have been called out for asking her that many times. But I mean, my guy should be able to find a date.

[Matt Jones]

I would think so. He's a good looking professional tennis player. Feels like he'd be able to mix it up.

[Shannon]

Change. Change your approach.

[Matt Jones]

Change it up. Now, let's go back in time to about six weeks ago to the Coldplay concert. Okay. Now, remember, it was a man and a woman, and the man was the one who hid, and the woman looked mortified. Now the woman's husband has come out and said, hey, I want to say something. We were already separated, and we're in the process of getting ready to get a divorce. And he was basically like, everybody kind of overreacted, at least as it pertains to this woman, because we were already apart. Now, Drew, do you buy that?

[Drew]

I will believe.

[Matt Jones]

I'll buy that.

[Drew]

Yes. I will believe that, because I don't think you would come forward and say that.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, I will believe it. Why did he wait so long? Why did he wait so long? Like, if, if that's true, Shannon, why did they wait? Why did he wait so long? Because he let it. To be fair, he kind of let. If that's true, he kind of let his ex just flounder out there for a long time.

[Shannon]

Yeah, I don't know that I believe him, but do you think that took him this long to come up with that excuse? It is kind of strange. He should have come out immediately and said, look, we're not even.

[Matt Jones]

But if it's true, it's not an excus. So, like, I, I, I guess it was clear to me the man had cheated. Right? Like, it was.

[Shannon]

Or he just didn't want anybody to see that he's with somebody in his company, you know, like he's dating the HR director.

[Matt Jones]

It's pretty clear to me the man had cheated. Like, a man doesn't run. Like, that's right. Unless he cheated. He didn't run.

[Drew]

He oozed out like ketchup coming out of the bottle. It was like the slow. He hadn't even landed yet.

[Matt Jones]

But I remember at the time, like, she looked mortified, but also didn't necessarily look like, I don't know, she didn't look as worried as him. So I just feel like, I mean, I guess it's nice that the man said that, but I kind of feel like, Drew, if that's true, it would have been nice for her if he'd said that two months ago. Right.

[Drew]

It's true. But if you're him, you're like, who cares? What do you want me to do? I'm not going to go on TV and just do a round of media. If somebody asked me, I'll be honest, but I'm not, not going to seek out the attention. I'm laying low.

[Ryan]

What, what if the reason they got separated because she was messing around with this guy? So maybe that's why he's like kept quiet for so long.

[Matt Jones]

You think that was the original reason for the separate.

[Ryan]

Maybe. Maybe that's why he kept quiet for a couple months and now he's coming forward to kind of help his ex mother his children. You know, I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

I wonder. I do wonder, Shannon. I thought this to myself. Do you wonder like what that. What those people are doing right now?

[Shannon]

Oh, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You know, because they both lost their jobs. Right. And they both. I think it's going to be hard for them to get a job at least in the same industry. Do you wonder ever, like in situations like that, what, what happens after? Like when the whole world moves on?

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

What happens to these people after it's over? I do.

[Shannon]

Yeah, I do too. I think in their case, though, they've got a lot of money and they're probably set for life. So they're probably on a beach somewhere in a nice, you know, vacation home.

[Matt Jones]

But there's a book I read many years ago that's called so you so you've been publicly shamed. And it's about what we're talking about. It's about somebody who had some kind of incident happen to him and then what happens next? Remember our story about the woman who sent the text message and then that went on the phone to South Africa? She woke up and she lost her job and all that stuff. You remember that?

[Ryan]

Remember that?

[Matt Jones]

That book is really interesting because it talks about that and how like people try to rebuild their lives after those moments. Just kind of an interesting, interesting thing. We will pay if you're late. You heard me talk about estate renovations. Kentucky's go to high end home remodeling. Well, remember, if they give you a project completion date, they'll pay $100 a day for every day they're late. Home makeovers, kitchens, bathrooms. They're serious about keeping your project on track.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back, radio. It's Holger Rune, not Holger Dane. He's Danish, but his name is Rune. Yeah, so I got that wrong.

[Ryan]

He's persistent, little feller.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Well, I mean, if the 11th time's a charm, I believe is a Danish setting. In America, it's third, but in Denmark, it's 11 859280. 2287. Let's go. The phone. Who's up first?

[Shannon]

Let's go to Rick.

[Matt Jones]

Rick. Go ahead, Rick.

[Caller]

Oh, yeah. How y' all doing today? Hope you have a blessed one. First and foremost, Ryan, my son, is your poor. Is your pool boy.

[Ryan]

Well, he does a great job. Is it Tristan?

[Matt Jones]

Your son is pool?

[Caller]

Yeah, Tristan's my youngest.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. So does he say Ryan is a good boss?

[Caller]

Yeah, he's got good things to say about Ryan.

[Matt Jones]

That's good, man.

[Ryan]

I got to be honest. He didn't like. He didn't like my dogs. My dogs go after him, and I've had to be careful when Tristan.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so he does. Okay, wait a minute. See, Yaka. I knew there was hesitation in your voice, Rick. I could tell. So he doesn't like Ryan's dogs, right?

[Caller]

No, he don't like his dog, but he says Ryan's pretty cool.

[Matt Jones]

All right, well, good. What do you got?

[Caller]

And he's. Well, also, he said he sold you a picture of my pickup, which is a 22 Silverado. It's a University of Kentucky edition that I drive around. He's been trying to steal. Anyway, what in the world is going on with the quarterback situation? We seem every time they go into the portal, it seems like they don't want to spend no money to get somebody that knows what the heck they're doing. This team was doing good for the longest time, and now all of a sudden, it's like they can't win a dag on game.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I mean, I think they've spent money, Drew. I mean, I. They've got. I appreciate the call. I mean, I think they've gotten with Vandergriff and Leary. They got dudes that were very highly ranked. Calzada was a little lower, but at one point, in his career has been highly ranked. I think they got guys that they spent money. I don't know if they got their top choices always, but it just hasn't. Why do you think it's not worked out this season?

[Drew]

I think people are putting a little too much money into Calzada's bank account. I don't think he was as expensive as a lot of people think, because you're already paying Cutter Bowley a lot of money and you had to keep him here this year knowing he's next year's plan. So Calzada, they knew they had to get somebody. And, you know, Calzada I don't think was top 25 quarterbacks in the portal rankings. So he.

[Matt Jones]

I see him. I think they paid him. You think they. I mean, do you think that.

[Drew]

I mean, saying numbers. I have no idea about numbers. I just don't know that he's even the highest paid quarterback on the roster. But you had to get somebody to put with Bowley because last year, the small look you got at Bowley, you just couldn't put all your eggs in that basket. But Leary and Vandergriff were very expensive, and to that point, you know, those didn't work out either. So it is an ongoing problem moving forward. Those were two of the most sought after guys in their portal classes.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I mean, I think that's a fair question. Larry and Vandergriff, lots of people wanted. Didn't work. Drew's probably got a good point. They probably split. They probably split the money between Cutter and Calzada, and so far, maybe not paid the biggest dividends on the Calzada part. Who's next?

[Shannon]

Kelly.

[Matt Jones]

Kelly. Go ahead, Kelly.

[Caller]

Hey, you got a quick suggestion on the shoe purchase for your trip once you get these shoes? Because I've had to break in a lot of work shoes for my line of work as a mail carrier. You can take insoles from shoes that you've already broken in and stick them on the inside of the boot that you're trying to break in. And that'll give your foot a. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I don't have any insoles that I've broken in. Let me ask you a question. People have said this to me in writing. You seem like a guy who would know. Again, assume I'm stupid, all right? When it comes to this stuff, people keep telling me I need to break in the shoes, okay? So in theory, I know one way you can break them in is to use them. But I guess the principle is I don't want to ruin My feet while I'm using them. So is there a way for me to break them in without also getting blisters while I'm breaking them in?

[Caller]

There's a way to break in shoes, especially if they're leather a little bit quicker. You can soak them in some lukewarm water, and that loosens up the fibers of that leather a little bit. The main difficulty with breaking in boots is they're usually just made of a denser material than your average tennis shoe. So it's gonna be a little bit rough.

[Matt Jones]

So if I put them in lukewarm water, I want your. If I put them in lukewarm water, I won't ruin them?

[Caller]

I don't think so. You might want to look up shoes.

[Shannon]

Is what you're gonna have.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know if I want to walk around with wet shoes.

[Caller]

I. I've never done that technique myself. I've heard people have tried it and it's worked. I've had concerns about ruining shoes myself, though, doing that, which is why I haven't ever.

[Matt Jones]

Let me ask you that. Can I just be the wall Shannon? What can I do to.

[Shannon]

I think you can, you know, take them, sort of flex them a little bit. You know, I think that would help break them.

[Matt Jones]

Throw them down on the streets here in New York.

[Shannon]

Exactly. Yeah. Drop them from a building.

[Drew]

I think you're getting too serious with this boot. You're not, like, climbing mountains. I have a sneaker Hoka hiking boot. You're not getting in the water. You just need something to keep your feet comfortable. That's a high. High top shoe. I've been to three hiking trips with, like, a sneaker boot, and it's fine. You're not out there living on.

[Matt Jones]

What's a sneaker boot?

[Drew]

It's breathable. It's cushioned at the bottom. Like mine are. Hoka brand. They're great. I've been out for two days on a hike, and it's been fine. The leather and all this stuff. You're not. You're gonna do this one time and probably not wear them again. I think you're getting a little too extreme.

[Matt Jones]

We'll get a good.

[Drew]

Get a good. Get a good comfortable shoe. You're not a professional. We don't have to break in leather. You just need a good high top that's durable because you're not out doing too many activities on this.

[Matt Jones]

I'll send you a link Is no.

[Caller]

I'll say.

[Matt Jones]

Does he. He has no faith.

[Ryan]

We know you.

[Matt Jones]

I don't. I'M sure I would get boots, put them in water and then they'd be ruined. I'd be like, thanks a lot, soggy boots. Take a break. Be right back. KSR.

[Ryan]

Round. Turn around. Come ahead.

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

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back. TY Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. UK football game Brian against Ole Miss was the second most watched game of the weekend last weekend. Only Michigan, Oklahoma had more viewers, 4.8 million viewers. It was the sixth most watched game of the season so far. Good or bad? Well, considering how that went, like we.

[Ryan]

Talked about earlier this week, you know, it's on network TV right in the middle of the day at 3:30 and all sudden that score pops up. Kentucky's ahead of ole miss 10 nothing. I think a lot of eyes flipped over to watch this game. Like, oh, maybe Mark Stoops can beat Lane Kiffin for the second year in a row. Only to these old people watch us kind of.

[Matt Jones]

They got it reverse in the first half. It probably played out the worst he could, Drew, because I think everybody probably turned over just in time to see us fall apart at the end of the first half.

[Drew]

Yeah, that's the bad part. Like with our YouTube videos, we can see the exact moment people are watching when they turn it off, when they turn it on. Hopefully when ABC sees that a lot of second half viewers seeing, oh, Kentucky's quarterback just hurt, their backup came in and didn't look too bad. They're within seven. But if you're watching the last two minutes of that first half, that was just making fun of Kentucky.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, yeah, that's, that's the unfortunate part. But you know, I mean, that's it because Kentucky plays Louisville every year to finish the year, the second or third week of the season, we are going to get a big time game, SEC game every single year. And because most of the other teams in the SEC have not started their conference play yet, we will get this slot a lot. Ryan. This week two prime slot we've now had for like three years in a row, three or four years in a row. And we took advantage of it a couple times when we beat South Carolina and beat Ole Miss. Then we looked awful last year during the South Carolina game I think in week two. But it's a big game for Kentucky because for some people to be the only time they watch them play all year.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And you just said the last two Years we got embarrassed at home by South Carolina and then we looked at, we don't know what we're doing at home against Ole Miss two years in a row. Maybe this is not a good time spot for Kentucky to end up, but.

[Matt Jones]

We'Re going to do it every year because of that Louisville game. Because of the Louisville game and because UK makes the decision to play their FCS game at the end of the year, which I don't like. I think we should be playing that at the beginning of the year. But because we choose to play it at the end of the year, we will end up with an SEC Game of Importance Week 2 almost every season. And it just puts a lot of. It put a lot, puts a lot of importance into that game every year. And this year we saw what happened. What's next, Derek? Derek. Go ahead, Derek.

[Caller]

Yeah, I got a couple things I'd like to talk about, if you don't mind. Do you not think as a fan base we should be cheering for the football team to win instead of going into the game as, oh, we're going to lose? Because I feel like those guys would play harder if they knew.

[Matt Jones]

It's not, I'm not talking about. There's nothing, none of this is the fans fault. I, I think if you.

[Caller]

No, no, I'm not saying that.

[Matt Jones]

But I think if you watch that game, fans cheered. The, the, it was, it was loud when the fans cheered early. I don't think. I think the fans cheered. I mean, there's a difference between saying, should the fans cheer? Yes. Should the fans be pumped up? Yes. Should the fans be encouraging? Yes. That's different though than the second part you said, which is shouldn't we come into the game talking about how we're going to win? That's not rational. I mean, we can't go into every game just going, well, we're going to win because we always win. That. I mean, that's just not, that's not analysis. That's just like being a cheerleader.

[Caller]

Well, that's kind of what a fan is, is cheering their team on. But my second thing is.

[Matt Jones]

But do you, but I mean, do we think we should not act like we're struggling ever? We should just always say, go team.

[Caller]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying we should be trying to push them through to the win. Not.

[Matt Jones]

I think people have done going in.

[Caller]

Defeated right off the rip. Yeah, that goes to my second, I think the, that goes into my second Part of the question is, you know, Saban had so with different coordinators almost every season, why can we not get to that level of success? And I'll get off here and listen.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, because. My answer would be because Mark Stoops, Drew, is not Nick Saban. Right. I mean, you know, some coaches produce some coaches, the names around them change and they keep rolling because they're legends. And then some coaches are. They lose their coordinator and things are never the same again because it was the coordinator, not them or it was the team. I think Mark Stoops has done an amazing job with consistency at defensive coordinator and producing consistent, great defenses. But for whatever reason, Drew, it's just not worked out consistently on the offensive side.

[Drew]

And you're right on the Nick Saban comparison. Stoops isn't Nick Saban, and Kentucky's not Alabama. I mean, he. He named the job that coaches would run through fire to get. I don't know that Kentucky's even on the top 10 when our spots open. But, you know, it is not just comparing it to Saban. There is an offensive coordinator issue since Stoop's tenure. We've been talking about it long before Bush Hampden got here, and he even said last Saturday, I don't tell him anything to do. But there are just too many examples of it looking the same over the course of time.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, let's talk about basketball for a second. Okay? If I were to say, how come Ole Miss can't get the same recruits Kentucky does every year in basketball, that would seem like an absurd statement, but sometimes our football fans act like that statement. You know, we're not Alabama. As a matter of fact, let me just read you where we are right now. I was. I went on the SEC Network's Instagram page just a second ago. I mean, they. They have ranked, they've had all their. Their announcers give their top 16 power, like, ranking. Shannon, you ready for it? Let's play a game.

[Shannon]

Let'.

[Matt Jones]

Alyssa Lang, where does she have Kentucky 16 out of 16? Benjamin Watson, where does he have Kentucky 16 out of 16? Chris Doring, where does he have Kentucky 16?

[Ryan]

He's usually pretty optimistic for Kentucky.

[Matt Jones]

And Darienoka, where does he have Kentucky 16 out of 16.

[Ryan]

Wow.

[Matt Jones]

That's unanimous. So, you know, I had someone write me close to university saying, I don't know why you're so negative right now, two games into the season. Fair enough. But these people are objective, and every single one of them has this in last place in the conference right now. Every Single one. It's not like a conflicted opinion. I think that matters. Who's next?

[Shannon]

Noah.

[Matt Jones]

Noah. Go ahead, Noah.

[Caller]

Hey, Matt, I got two things for you guys, both pertaining to football. I remember a caller yesterday trying to give suggestions for songs to be able to pump up for the crowd for it. And one of me gave in. There was the Don't Feel the Reaper from Blue Oyster Cult. I know I am no Shannon the dude, but as someone who's been a PA announcer and DJ for sports events for six plus years, you put that song on. If I put that song on at any event that I'm working for, there's no quicker way that fans are going to go to their phones and tune out for the entire event. If you put on something like, I'd hope that caller comes sometimes give a better suggestion for a song.

[Matt Jones]

I totally agree with it.

[Caller]

I have no idea. Yeah, and I have no idea if this thing could even work for it. I don't know the details and stuff with from NIL necessarily, but I think what would help potentially help with it for the football team. You get an nil deal between Alates and Shiash Pete. You shoot a commercial that does almost a remake from the old dosa Keith Most interesting man in the world type way.

[Matt Jones]

I like it. I think it'd be, they waited too long to make that kid known. I mean, they did. I appreciate the call, but they didn't make any of the players know. They didn't make any of the players known during the off season. And it hurts in nil. It hurts in a lot of ways. I mean, at this point, the games are going on, so it doesn't matter as much. But that was a huge whiff. It was a huge whiff. And we called it as it was happening and nobody seemed to care. And you know, you still have vast majorities of the starting lineup of the team that most fans don't know. And that's, you know, the university did that. They made that decision and they have to live with the, with the consequences. Clark's Pumping Shop. Don't commit a party foul. Get your tailgate ready at Clark's Pumping Shop. Discounts on gas.

[Ryan]

They pick my card sometimes, but it's not. They pick somebody else. Like, like two people could have the same card.

[Drew]

So you're finalist.

[Ryan]

Yeah, well, but I haven't got the right one yet. I'm still playing. I'm still trying.

[Matt Jones]

I don't understand what he's saying. But you don't win.

[Ryan]

Yeah, like they've got like a deck of cards and like, like they might pull out Shannon, the dude who had card number 18. Well, I also had card number 18.

[Matt Jones]

Card number 18 in a deck of.

[Ryan]

Cards I'm just using as an example. It's 1 through 52. It's not like a. A face.

[Matt Jones]

It's not like a jack or whatever. Okay.

[Ryan]

Yeah. It's like one through card one through 52.

[Drew]

That's part of your problem is the deck of cards you're using. I don't know that'll ever get picked.

[Matt Jones]

Part of the problem is he keeps picking 18 and Shannon going, why?

[Shannon]

It goes up to king.

[Matt Jones]

Got the king of eight.

Eight of the top 10 teams in the SEC next year they end up with on their schedule. It's one person wrote on D1 Baseball. He thinks it's the hardest conference schedule any team has ever gotten.

[Drew]

You know, they had a good off season. Maybe, maybe we'll be one of the problems for those other teams like they.

[Matt Jones]

Can be competitive in it.

[Drew]

Heck, yeah. I mean, that's. That's Life.

[Matt Jones]

In the SEC, they could have drawn. They drew eight of the top 10. They only got. They only got one team. I think that was amongst the not good team. So, you know, they're going to go find out early, Ryan, how good they are.

[Ryan]

Yeah. You go to the College World Series, you're going to end up getting. Maybe getting your schedule. Strength of schedule increase a little bit. Today's Nick Mingyon's birthday, though, so that's a good birthday present. Here. Here's your schedule. You got to play all these tough games.

[Matt Jones]

The hardest schedule of all time. Happy birthday. Is he. How old is he? I'm going to guess first. Is he. I don't know.

[Ryan]

Let's look.

[Matt Jones]

46. 6. I'm gonna say he's one year younger than me.

[Ryan]

I was gonna go 43.

[Drew]

45.

[Matt Jones]

What is the answer? I thought Ryan was looking it up. Are you not looking it up?

[Ryan]

I'm trying.

[Shannon]

Looks like he is.

[Drew]

I got 47.

[Ryan]

47.

[Matt Jones]

47, yeah. Okay, so he's the same age as me. All right, well, happy birthday to Nick and good luck with the hardest schedule of all time. Who's next?

[Shannon]

Charlie.

[Matt Jones]

Charlie. Go ahead, Charlie.

[Caller]

Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. I really enjoyed the show the other day when you talked about the lady in Whitesburg with the.

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Caller]

But. Yeah. And I thought that was an awesome story. Really enjoyed. But I want to call in. Cause it really found out with some friends because I'm from up that way originally live in Florida now. But it ended up with some really bad news.

[Matt Jones]

What's the bad news?

[Caller]

Well, she came home, she told her husband all about it, and apparently they've been having a little trouble because he ended up getting mad at her because she didn't bring that coon home for dinner. Especially with it being already marinated and peach moonshot.

[Matt Jones]

All right, well, I appreciate the call. I think that was this. I don't know what. That was. A joke. Was that a joke?

[Ryan]

You think that attempted a joke?

[Caller]

Yeah, yeah.

[Shannon]

Nobody laughed.

[Matt Jones]

Sorry.

[Shannon]

One person.

[Matt Jones]

He was. He was. He was trying.

[Ryan]

He's trying.

[Matt Jones]

It's okay. Who's next?

[Shannon]

Kevin.

[Matt Jones]

Kevin. Go ahead, Kevin.

[Caller]

Hey, Matt, speaking of charities, what's your favorite charity?

[Matt Jones]

What's my favorite charity?

[Caller]

Yeah. Do you have one or.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I give to the Epilepsy foundation because I deal with it and a lot of kids do, so that's the one that I usually. When I have donations, etc. That's usually what I give to awesome.

[Caller]

That's totally understandable. For a flat donation or percentage, would you be willing to promote my golden auction for my game worn Daniel Kentucky jersey?

[Matt Jones]

I have no idea what those words mean. What. What would I be? I don't. I hope you understand it's not. It's not personal to you. Yeah, I can't just promote various chair like raffles and stuff or we would be getting those all day.

[Caller]

No, no, I understand. I'll still make a donation. Have a good vacation, Matt.

[Matt Jones]

Thank you very much. Yeah, I appreciate it. It's not. Listen, I hate that I. But like I get go fund me's and request to donate to things and request for charity. We get them literally every day. And I. I feel bad, but you can't do them all. And when you pick and choose, I feel like unless I have some tie to them, I just. I can't really justify doing it. So I hope. I hope you understand what's. What's next.

[Shannon]

Mike.

[Matt Jones]

Mike. Go ahead, Mike.

[Caller]

Hey, Matt. Thank you. How y' all doing? They're great.

[Matt Jones]

I'm doing well, Matt.

[Caller]

I've got several suggestions. My wife and I just got back from South Africa and I know everybody's giving you some suggestions, but I want to give you some good ones. Number one, Matt, don't worry about your shoes. Get you some Merrell Merrell trail shoes. Waterproof trail shoes. I bought some brand new ones before I went. They're great. You don't have to worry about breaking them in. Number two, Matt, insect repellent. When you get into Cape Town, they've got a little tube. It's not very much. About A$2. Get you that tube of insect repellent, you won'. The rest.

[Matt Jones]

People are telling me that the bugs are everywhere. That was one of the things that they said. I haven't been told enough that there are especially on the. The reserve. Like there's just bugs everywhere.

[Caller]

Yep. Well, Matt, we were Kruger and they are there. But you get this insect repel. They'll do a great job. Matt. Get you a wide rim hat. Now if you don't have. I got one, right?

[Matt Jones]

I got one.

[Caller]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

I got one.

[Caller]

Get you a wide rim hat. Another thing, Matt, that I bought. I got some Duluth long paints are sort of stretchy paints for long paints. They're very good. And you'll get you a long sleeve shirt. You don't wear a short sleeve shirt out there, Matt, because they will be. Insect will be all over you.

[Matt Jones]

Gotcha. I got all that. I think all that.

[Caller]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

All that stuff. I think I have.

[Caller]

Okay. And I want to thank you for treating my niece real well. She. Her name is Carrie and I think that you know, maybe who I'm talking about. But on her birthday she went in and you and Ryan and so forth. Her husband played for how Mommy.

[Matt Jones]

Yes, of course. Yes.

[Caller]

Thank you.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Caller]

I want. I want to thank you for treating her nice. And I will tell you, I hope you have great weather, have a great safari. Matt. And come home safe with plenty of all kinds of news and stories.

[Matt Jones]

I appreciate it. I will try to do all those things. That's very kind of you. Thank you. Shannon. We're gonna have. We have something we're gonna have to do at the bar. We have four servers now named Madison.

[Shannon]

Oh, wow.

[Matt Jones]

They just.

[Shannon]

I think they all have two questions.

[Matt Jones]

I think women are only named Madison.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Of that age group. So I'm thinking about forcing them to change their names when they're in the restaurant.

[Shannon]

Can we go by their last name?

[Matt Jones]

What do we drew? What do we do? Saturday during the game, there were four Madison. So I would ask the people, whose table is that Madison? And that doesn't help you because there's four of them. So, like we have to do something here. Do we make them change their names?

[Drew]

We at least make them take on their last initial, Madison B, Madison D, Madison C. Whatever it is. You can't just be Madison.

[Matt Jones]

They can't. How did people 20 years ago all just collectively decide all of our kids will be named Madison? Is that what happened, Ryan?

[Ryan]

It must have been, because remember when we first opened, we had like four or five Taylors.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, we used to only have Taylors. We used to. We used to with all Taylor's for a long time.

[Ryan]

And now we're all Madison.

[Shannon]

Like on a team, you know, you have the jersey name on the back at your last name. Put it on the back of their shirt.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, well, we don't. We don't. We're going to have to do something because there are too many Madison's. I think when we hired our new servers, they just said, all right, if you're Madison, you're hired.
