Matt Jones
Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio. 859-280-2287 Text Machine 772-774-5254 it is Ask Anything Thursday. Got a couple things. First of all, that, that group right there in the back, that's a, Is that a dad's weekend T shirt I see, I could see it. I can tell the dad daughter dynamic. It's at the bar. Like you were like, where do I go eat with my dad? And then you come here. Like I, I see that. That's a very common one here. Parents weekends, like next weekend. Right. But for your, oh, for your sorority. It's dad's weekend. See, I can always see. So dad, thank you very much for, for coming out this way.
Ryan Lemond
No better place for dad to take the daughter than K. Right?
Matt Jones
I'm, I'm, I see that dynamic. And then my man right here is getting married tomorrow in Rock Castle County. First of all round, getting married in Rock Castle. Now that's very exciting. So I said, man, where are you getting married? In Rock Castle County. And he gave me the most Rock Castle county answer of all time. He said, we're getting married at our.
Ryan Lemond
Yard sale front of their house for the yard sale.
Matt Jones
You decided, let's not get married and have a yard sale. Let's combine them into one thing. I like that.
Ryan Lemond
Nothing, nothing says love like selling some old T shirts.
Matt Jones
Yes. So you're gonna. So here's the thing. You're not gonna get married. You're gonna make a profit.
Mario Urrutia
Wow, that's smart.
Ryan Lemond
Pay for that wedding.
Matt Jones
That's exactly. That's exactly what you want to do. That's capitalism at its fine.
Ryan Lemond
You know, I've heard a lot of crazy locations for weddings. You added neighbor at your yard. Front yard. Yard sales. One I've not heard before.
Matt Jones
By the way, this segment's brought to you by Serve Pro. Number one choice in cleanup and restoration. Whether it's mold, fire, storm or water damage, servpro will come in and make it like it never happened. They sponsor Serve Pro, the umpire challenge in the ballpark. Did you know that they do that at the Reds?
Ryan Lemond
No.
Matt Jones
When there's a challenge, Serve Pro sponsors it and Serve Pro shows the replay, which we don't do at uk.
Ryan Lemond
Oh, we need to get that sponsorship at Kroger Field.
Matt Jones
That's right. Serve Pro also has the first Responder poll coming December 26th. It is Serve Pro and servepro.com S-R-V-P-R-O.com.
Ryan Lemond
I gotta say something about them. They heard me talk about my basement getting flooded. They called me just to double check, say, hey, you need anything where. You know, we heard you guys talk about on the radio show.
Matt Jones
That's nice.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, that's super nice. That's good customer relations right there.
Matt Jones
Text machine. Let's just ask. Anything Thursday. Couple hypotheticals here, Matt, to expand on the Vandy and Louisville scenario. What if the Louisville game comes down to a field goal with time expiring? If we hit it, we go 5 and 7 and beat Louisville. But if we miss it, we're 4 and 8.
Mario Urrutia
These scenarios are crazy.
Matt Jones
What would you prefer?
Ryan Lemond
Hit it. Take five and seven, bring him back the next year end on a high note. Bringing him back.
Matt Jones
Hit it. First of all, I'm never going to cheer for us not to beat Louisville on a field goal, never. But it would be ironic for sure. Shannon, what are you choosing?
Shannon Dawson
Oh, we want to hit the field goal and be. But you know, like the scenario came up years ago with that Mississippi State game. It did, but that was about, you.
Matt Jones
Know, way through the season though that wasn't the end.
Shannon Dawson
But still kind of talking about that could have saved his job, you know, on a field goal.
Matt Jones
Yeah, no, you're right. You. You to me, you got to hit the field goal. Here's a question, Matt. What would you say are the is the best and worst thing about the city of Lexington in the city of Louisville? I like that question.
Ryan Lemond
It's A good question for you.
Matt Jones
And we can't. Nobody can say the same thing. So let's start with Lexington. What's the best thing, Ryan, about Lexington? And it, like, it has to be something specific. It can't be like, oh, everybody likes each other. Like, it's got to be something specific.
Ryan Lemond
Damn it took my answer away.
Matt Jones
Like, it's got to be something. It's got to be something about Lexington. Best thing about Lexington.
Ryan Lemond
I think Lexington is very diverse, and I'm kind of proud of that. You know, our relations with all generations, nationalities. I'm very proud of my city that they're very diverse.
Mario Urrutia
I say best thing about Lexington is that the university centered around it. So Kentucky's Lexington is centered around Lexington. So, like, if you go to Louisville, it doesn't feel. You don't feel the University of Louisville when you go to Louisville. You know what I'm saying?
Matt Jones
No, I think that's probably right. I think that's probably right.
Mario Urrutia
It's more of a college town. Lexington is more of a college.
Matt Jones
I would say the best thing about Lexington, Lexington is its size because it's still small enough that you see people, you know, and you feel a bond, but it's big enough that it's not, like, suffocating and there are things to do. And it has, like an airport or community here. I like this size, which is probably, what, 400,000 people? Is that what we're at?
Ryan Lemond
Pretty close.
Matt Jones
I'd say this size, I think, is a really good size for a city. So that's what. What I would say. Shannon, what about you?
Shannon Dawson
I mean, you guys live there in Lexington, so you got better answers than I. I think Lexington is actually a beautiful city.
Matt Jones
I mean, it is pretty. Well, yeah, with the horse farms and all that.
Shannon Dawson
I would say just the, you know. Okay, the site.
Matt Jones
Now, what's the worst part about Lexington? I'm going first, so you can't say it.
Ryan Lemond
No, don't say it.
Matt Jones
I'm gonna say it. The traffic. This is the worst traffic for a city that is not huge of anywhere in the United States. There are places with worse traffic. D.C. has worse traffic. Chicago has worse traffic. New York at times has worse traffic. But there is no worse traffic for a city of this size anywhere in the United States, in my opinion, because it's just not designed to have as many people as we have here. So I'm going to say the worst traffic. What about you?
Ryan Lemond
Well, of course, that's what I was going to pick. I was going to pick traffic. So I'm going to say we all get asked this question, hey, I'm coming in from out of town, I've got an 8 year old, 11 year old. What are some things I can take my kids to do? There's really not a lot of options for kids around in Lexington. There's really not. What are you gonna do? Take them to a park, Take them bowling, Take them to Gatti Town?
Matt Jones
What would there be in other places? Like, where would you, like, what would you say go do in Knoxville?
Ryan Lemond
I don't know Knoxville, but any city. Knoxville has a zoo.
Matt Jones
Okay, so you want a zoo.
Ryan Lemond
I want a zoo. I guess I can send them to your neighborhood, go to Gatton park and walk around there.
Matt Jones
If you want a zoo. There's horse places.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah. For 8, 9, 10, 11 year old boys, there's just, well, you know, I always have struggle with what I tell them to do.
Matt Jones
Okay, what about you, Mario?
Mario Urrutia
Can I just say the traffic lights. No traffic.
Matt Jones
Traffic.
Mario Urrutia
The lights are just terrible.
Matt Jones
Traffic lights are not different than traffic. That doesn't count.
Mario Urrutia
If I had to pick one, I like Lexington a lot. I'll probably say I wish it was. I wish it was a little bit bigger.
Matt Jones
If I had to change, it was a little bit bigger.
Mario Urrutia
A little bit bigger inside.
Matt Jones
All right. Shannon, what about you?
Shannon Dawson
From what I could tell, it feels like Lexington has limited nightlife, like other than KS Bar and Grill.
Matt Jones
Like, you know, listen, you are exactly right.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Lexington has almost no nightlife if you're single and like over 24. You know what I mean?
Ryan Lemond
It's all college bars.
Matt Jones
These are. It's basically all bars are overtaken by college students. So you. No, that's. That to me, next to traffic, that is the worst thing about Lexington. All right. Best thing about Louisville. I'll go first.
Ryan Lemond
Food.
Matt Jones
For a city of its size, Louisville's got the best food choices. I. I struggle to outside of, you know, obviously the big cities have more choices, but if you're talking about a city the size of Louisville, I'd be interested. How many have better food choices than Louisville? Louisville's got everything, food wise, every kind of nationality. Food wise. Louisville not crushes it. What about you, Shane?
Shannon Dawson
For me, it's the concerts. Like having North America's biggest rock festival. Louder than Life and Bourbon and Beyond. A lot of great music venues. For me, it's. It's the music scene.
Matt Jones
Okay, what about you?
Ryan Lemond
I think the Elm center is one of the best state gymnasium, stadiums, whatever you want to call it in the country. I think it's awesome. I think they built it perfect.
Matt Jones
Great for basketball.
Ryan Lemond
Great size.
Matt Jones
Great size every.
Ryan Lemond
No matter where you sit.
Matt Jones
Luxury areas, good views. I agree with that.
Ryan Lemond
Yep.
Mario Urrutia
I'm going. I'm going scenic route. So I like. I like the skyline of Louisville, like right by the Ohio river with the bridges. I think it's beautiful. I think that's.
Matt Jones
I agree with you. That is a really pretty right on the river with the bridges. Yeah. I would also note Louisville's got. If you like parks. There are very few cities with more parks and greenery in the center of them than Louis, than Louisville is. You know that Cherokee parks right in the middle of the. And it's beautiful and big.
Ryan Lemond
Is that the park by you? By the park.
Matt Jones
By me.
Ryan Lemond
Okay. Yeah.
Matt Jones
All right. What about worst for me?
Ryan Lemond
I got to think about this. The worst. Oh, I know one.
Matt Jones
Okay.
Ryan Lemond
The Louisville Zoo stinks.
Matt Jones
You just said you wanted Lexington to have a zoo. Yes. And now you're crushing the Louisville Zoo.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Why? Why are you doing that?
Ryan Lemond
The Cincinnati Zoo is awesome. The Louisville zoom.
Matt Jones
About you and zoo.
Ryan Lemond
I've been a lot.
Matt Jones
You act like zoos are the most important thing in the world.
Shannon Dawson
You know, stinks. I mean, it's a bunch of animals pooping and peeing all over the place. What do you expect it to smell like?
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, it's poorly designed. It's just not put together very well.
Matt Jones
So you think this Louisville Zoo smells?
Ryan Lemond
The Louisville Zoo needs much improvement.
Shannon Dawson
I'll tell you what smells is downtown. It's dirty. It's dirty downtown. That's my worst.
Matt Jones
So that's your worst. Dirty downtown stinks when you drive by. Don't you think it's gotten better, though, in the last year or two?
Shannon Dawson
I think Craig Greenberg's done a good job trying to, but it's. It's an uphill battle.
Matt Jones
I mean, I will say right after Covid in like 2021 and 2022, I thought Louisville's downtown was like, really fall. Just awful and falling apart. And I think it's gotten much better in the last two years. And there are parts of it that are nice. I do agree. The combination of the river and just that there's a stench to downtown. You are. You are right about that. Although it's not as bad as it was. What about you, Mario?
Mario Urrutia
I'm probably gonna say. Well, every big city has this. I'll probably say danger.
Matt Jones
Yeah.
Mario Urrutia
It's really dangerous in parts of some parts of it. Some parts of it.
Matt Jones
Most of it is not. But there are parts of it that I think you would say.
Mario Urrutia
Yeah, gotta be careful.
Matt Jones
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
About you.
Matt Jones
I mean, I really like Louisville. I think the problem, I would say is that Louisville is. Is very, very segregated. Not just it is segregated racially, but it's also segregated economically. Like, the people all live out in the, you know, every part of town is almost. Unfortunately, even though it's very diverse, the rich people live out in the, you know, Oldham county suburbs. You've got the 7th street divide between. That goes back, you know, a long time. I live in kind of the hippie area. Then you've got the sort of working class white area out Dixie and Pre. Then Preston. It's just, I feel like it's very segregated, which causes the city to fight. Like, Lexington does not fight amongst itself nearly as much as Louisville.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Matt Jones
And I think a lot of that is people live in these segregated groups and it makes them distrust the other groups, which leads to a lot of fighting. Because, like, Louisville is a more liberal city than Lexington, but it is. They fight much more with each other. Right. Because the conservatives in Lex, in Louisville are very conservative and the liberals are very Louisville and they fight. Whereas in Lexington, I feel like everybody kind of gets along. Do you agree with that?
Ryan Lemond
I do agree. I think, Alexa, we all kind of get along. Both sides seem to coexist.
Matt Jones
I remember Adam Eagle and tell me many years ago when I was thinking about running, he was like, the thing you need to remember about Lexington and Louisville. The difference is he was like, Louisville people want to argue and Lexington people just want to live and be happy. And he meant that though, like, Louisville people are standing up for their causes.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Whereas Lexington people are just like, hey, things are pretty good. Can we all just like, they don't ruin it. That's kind of how they are, like. And I think that's true. I mean, you live in both cities. I think that's true. Louisville people are on Louisville politics and Louisville's. It's just on edge. Whereas in Lexington, you know, we're a pretty liberal city. We. I think Linda Gordon is a Republican, isn't she?
Ryan Lemond
I'm not sure. Actually.
Matt Jones
That's the thing. The fact that you don't know is what I'm saying. Like, nobody even really knows. I think that's actually a good thing.
Ryan Lemond
I think that what Adam Elin said about both cities are dead on accurate. We do, we're here in Lexington. We do just try to want to get by, be happy, don't want to ruffle any feathers, so to speak.
Matt Jones
But if you were to say to me, okay, I'm, I'm in college. Where should I live? I would say Lexington. Lexington. If you were to say to me, I'm 25, where should I live? I'd probably say Louisville. If you were to say to me, I'm 35 and a professional, where would I live? I might still say Louisville. But then if you were to say to me, I have a family, where should I move? I'd probably say Lexi. You know, so I think everything, it just depends.
Ryan Lemond
Well, actually, you know, it's growing exponentially going into the, you know, Woodford County, Scott County, Clark county, kind of expanding, getting bigger and bigger. And I think that's a good thing for growth.
Matt Jones
Louisville and Lexington.
Ryan Lemond
That was a good little segment breakdown.
Matt Jones
We will take a break, take your calls, be right back.

Matt Jones
Welcome back techie Sports radio. Alright, a couple things written people write bad thing about Lexington. Very true. Airport terrible.
Ryan Lemond
Good one.
Matt Jones
No flights out of here and they're all a bajillion dollars.
Ryan Lemond
Always more expensive.
Matt Jones
Cincinnati and Cincinnati and, and Louisville. So much easier to fly out of. Yeah, airport's a big thing. Like you can't fly anyone here. And it's all, it's so expensive wherever you go.
Ryan Lemond
Thankfully, yeah. Louisville and Cincinnati are both just about an hour drive away because you can save yourself a lot of money.
Matt Jones
Did you see the, did you see the interview with the woman? If you want to see a bad politician interview, look at the interview with the woman running for governor in California. I don't know if you saw this. It's not good. Her name is Katie Porter.
Ryan Lemond
All right.
Matt Jones
She's running for Democratic nomination for Gallon Bear, California. If you want a who's a what's what of? This is not how you do an interview. Go watch her.
Ryan Lemond
Really?
Matt Jones
They ask her some questions. She's very hostile with the interviewer. And then they showed an interview from a few years ago where she screams at her staffer in the middle of the interview and goes, get out of my shot. It is a little incorrect. And she was like, get out of my shot. Like, I think she'll lose the election because of that. She will. I think she was, like, the favorite for the nomination. You remember I said this? I think she's gonna lose it because of how mean she comes across in this.
Ryan Lemond
Well, for somebody like me, I have no idea what her policy is, what she's running on, but I'll remember that.
Matt Jones
Yeah, exactly. That's what I think of you with this.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Because you, like, in a primary, you just be like, oh, that woman's mean.
Ryan Lemond
She's the one that yelled at her staffer. I ain't voting for her.
Matt Jones
Yeah. Really, really bad. Not. We had an ask anything from here and here. They said, what team do you hate most in each sport? Let's go through them. College football. Tennessee. College basketball. Louisville. And then Duke College. NBA, Celtics. NFL. Patriots. I hate the good teams.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah. Baseball.
Matt Jones
Baseball. I don't really hate Red Sox. In hockey, I don't really care. Florida Panthers, I guess. What about you? Who do you hate?
Ryan Lemond
Cowboys. In football, Cubs. And baseball. Basketball's the Knicks.
Matt Jones
Why do you hate the Knicks?
Ryan Lemond
Because I'm a Celtics guy.
Matt Jones
Okay.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Mario Urrutia
I thought you were a Pacers guy.
Ryan Lemond
Well, I am a Pacers guy, but I like to sell. I grew up liking the Celtics and the Pacers both. Football. I'm just gonna. Football and basketball. I gotta pick Louisville, I guess.
Matt Jones
Louisville.
Ryan Lemond
Still you have the Tennessee hate from where you grew up. More of a Louisville hate for a lot of us.
Matt Jones
I mean, Tennessee, for me, even would be the highest in football. In basketball, except I just. I don't know, we've kind of. I don't hate Rick Barnes, so it's harder for me to hate them.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Matt Jones
What about you, Mario?
Mario Urrutia
College basketball. I'm probably going Duke. NFL. I don't really watch much NFL. I'll probably go on Patriots, though, if I had to pick. And then you guys know I hate the Boston Celtics.
Matt Jones
Shannon know.
Mario Urrutia
He knows I hate Boston. Boston Celtics. I just hate him. I can't stand him.
Matt Jones
Yeah, I'm kind of with you. I hate Boston fans.
Mario Urrutia
Fans.
Matt Jones
It's more Boston fans than the team. I really don't Like Boston fans. What about you, Shannon?
Shannon Dawson
Baseball, Yankees? Basketball? Probably the Magic because they were so good.
Matt Jones
The Magic. Who hates the Magic?
Shannon Dawson
Shaq, why would you hate the Magic?
Matt Jones
Do you hate Paulo Banera?
Shannon Dawson
I didn't like the Orlando magic in the 90s.
Ryan Lemond
Brothers?
Shannon Dawson
No, absolutely not. NFL, the Cowboys. And what you did. College football? I guess. Probably. Well, it's gotta be Louisville.
Matt Jones
Yeah. All right. Well, there you go.
Ryan Lemond
Good question.
Matt Jones
859-280-2287. Did you see what happened at Stanford? A guy named, let me get his name right. Bradford Freeman. Bradford Freeman dies. He's a longtime Stanford alum and donor. He dies, he gives a hundred million dollars to Stanford for nil. For football.
Ryan Lemond
Wow. No kidding.
Matt Jones
In his will somewhere he's got a.
Ryan Lemond
Son and a daughter that is mad as a Hornet.
Matt Jones
What do you think about that? I mean that's, that's a. That's an amazing thing, isn't it, for Stanford football? So like, I mean you would think that's gonna. That should make them good soon.
Mario Urrutia
It's a lot of money.
Ryan Lemond
100 mil. If they're not good now, something's wrong. 100 million to build your roster, Shannon.
Matt Jones
What are the chances, let's say you were worth a billion dollars. What are the chances you'd give? 100 million for Stanford Football or not for Stanford football? I don't think you would give any. Zero for Stanford football. But for the team of your choice.
Shannon Dawson
Probably 0.100 million because you don't even.
Matt Jones
Get to enjoy it.
Shannon Dawson
Team. No.
Matt Jones
You're absolutely not even get to enjoy it.
Shannon Dawson
No. Who's doing that?
Ryan Lemond
There's got to be something else behind that. Him. How do you not give that to his family? Why does he got to give the hundred million to Stanford football? Did he play there?
Matt Jones
Yeah. No, he was an alum and all that, but he still gave a hundred million dollars. Pretty amazing good luck goodness for good for Stanford.
Ryan Lemond
So would you do it for Middlesboro boys golf? Give a bunch of money in your will?
Matt Jones
What do you think? What do you think Middlesbrough boys golf could do with a hundred million dollars?
Ryan Lemond
I don't know. What could.
Matt Jones
Stanford Middle school boys golf. They would, they could really build a course.
Ryan Lemond
There you go. You know, Donate that money for them.
Matt Jones
I would say if I was worth a billion dollars and I died like right now, I don't have any kids, right. So I mean, is it in theory, could I. Would I give some to the University of Kentucky athletics? Yeah, yeah, I could see that in the. Right.
Ryan Lemond
I mean, would you give a hundred.
Matt Jones
What am I going to do with it.
Mario Urrutia
You give it to us?
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Matt Jones
No, I mean, I would give some of it to you all. I would give us some of it. I would set up a thing for people from eastern Kentucky to go to college. I would set up some sort of foundation, but I could see. Given like a little bit of money.
Ryan Lemond
To a hundred million.
Matt Jones
Yeah. I get to pick the players, though, from the gray. I get to decide.
Ryan Lemond
That'd be hard to do.
Matt Jones
Who's up next?
Shannon Dawson
Let's go to Scott.
Matt Jones
Scott. What's up, Scott?
Caller
Hey, guys, got two questions. First, one, how much stock are you going to put into the Purdue Kentucky exhibition game? And second, if Mark Stoops were to leave this year.
Matt Jones
That's a great question.
Caller
What do you see his future?
Matt Jones
How much stock do you put into UK Purdue exhibition? Do you. Do you care if we win? Does it matter? It doesn't count how much. That's a great. I mean, it's coming up. How much stock you put in there?
Ryan Lemond
I know it's an exhibition game, but I'm gonna put a lot of stock in it because Purdue and Houston are, everybody says, the best two teams in the country, and Purdue is the best team in the country. If we're able to play them down to the wire, even beat them or play them real close. I think I do put a lot of stock in there.
Matt Jones
Do you. If do. If you're Mark Pope, do you play the game to win or do you play everyone? You.
Ryan Lemond
I think you play a lot of guys, but you're playing to win.
Matt Jones
Play to win, Shannon, but those might be conflicting things. Play to win and play everyone.
Shannon Dawson
No, you play to win this game. I think this is the measuring stick. I think a lot of people's opinion on how the season is going to go will probably be put into how well they play Purdue.
Matt Jones
I think you play it like. I think you play it like a real game and you're like, trying to win.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah.
Matt Jones
And you play who you're going to play. You know, you got those games beginning of the year against Nicholls State and all that. That's when you can play everybody.
Ryan Lemond
Good point.
Matt Jones
I think when you play Purdue, Ryan, you're playing to win the game. I think you're putting the guys in. You're seeing what they do against a very difficult opponent. That's what I would do.
Ryan Lemond
You find out, you maybe what your rotations work, what rotations don't work with different. You know, put some guys in different spots. Yeah, you can do that in the Nicholl State game. Play this game to win it.
Matt Jones
Yeah.
Mario Urrutia
Yeah.
Matt Jones
100.
Mario Urrutia
I think it's a great test for Mark Pope, kind of. You get to see, like, who can do what and you know, how your rotations might look. So I think. I think you played.
Matt Jones
All right, let's say we win. Are you planning a final four trip?
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Matt Jones
All right, let's.
Ryan Lemond
Ketucky fans, but let's say we lose.
Matt Jones
Say we lose by 10. I think you take the game seriously. 859-280-2287. Be right back.
Ryan Lemond
T.J. smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. he'll make him pay.
Shannon Dawson
Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.
Matt Jones
Welcome back. It is Kentucky sports radio. Well, 859-280-2287. Text machine is 772-774-5254. Before we go back to phones, what do you think about Belichick? There were reports after our show went off the air yesterday he wouldn't even get to coach Friday. Then he might be let go yesterday, and they play Friday night, and he wouldn't even be at that game. Then things kind of shifted, both the part the school and Belichick made a statement. We're committed to each other. You buy.
Ryan Lemond
I saw this one story came out. I guess they interviewed some of the players, and it seemed like the players don't have necessarily a problem with Villacheck. It's everybody else surrounding Billicheck.
Matt Jones
Belichick.
Ryan Lemond
Belichick.
Matt Jones
Not Bill.
Ryan Lemond
Billichek. Combining.
Matt Jones
Combining their two names.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
But it's like, you know, his son and all the people he hired, the general manager. That's, that's the people they don't like being around.
Matt Jones
What if they had not let him go to the game Friday? I mean.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, five games in and you don't let him go to the game.
Matt Jones
You don't even let him go Friday night.
Mario Urrutia
I'm, I'm kind of shocked, man. I, I didn't expect him to, like, man, are you guys not surprised that he.
Matt Jones
I'm surprised he's this bad, but they're not surprised early.
Shannon Dawson
And it's five games into the season. He can still flip this thing around.
Matt Jones
No, but the stories about how the whole thing is falling apart. There's no organization. I mean, it's less. I mean, they're, they're two and three. They got the same record. We do. So it's not like they're. They're the worst team in the world. It's just surprising to me, Ryan, that this guy who Was built on no distractions, organization, like, all this stuff. It's surprising to me that it just seems like a complete cluster.
Ryan Lemond
Maybe there's something new in his life that's distracting him a little bit, who's.
Shannon Dawson
Running things behind the scenes?
Matt Jones
Why is it the woman's fault? Like, isn't it all.
Ryan Lemond
I didn't say that. I thought maybe there might be something in his life that's maybe different than the past and maybe getting distracted a little bit. Maybe he's not getting enough rest at home. Me, I don't know what the situation is.
Shannon Dawson
He's an old man. She's keeping him up all night.
Matt Jones
You are. You are.
Ryan Lemond
Oh, man.
Matt Jones
859-280-2287. Text machine. Ask anything Thursday. One person writes. This question is for Matt and Shannon. Favorite Andy Griffith episode. Let's go for it. Shannon, what do you got?
Shannon Dawson
Oh, when aunt B gets drunk off the moonshine.
Matt Jones
If he gets strong.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah. And Andy comes home, and she's playing the piano and she's singing and she's. She's.
Matt Jones
Yeah, I like that one. Okay, I'll take the one with Freddie Fleet and his band with the beat.
Shannon Dawson
You like that one?
Matt Jones
Okay. Because isn't that the one with the 4th of July parade and then they sneak into the band?
Shannon Dawson
I think.
Matt Jones
Yeah, those two different.
Shannon Dawson
I think that's the one with the.
Matt Jones
Town band where they can't play. You know what I mean?
Shannon Dawson
Yeah.
Matt Jones
And then Barney thinks he's singing, but it's actually another guy.
Shannon Dawson
Ray Foster, wasn't it? That's singing in the background.
Matt Jones
Yeah, Barney thinks he's singing. Yeah.
Shannon Dawson
That's a good one.
Matt Jones
That's a really good episode. These two have no idea.
Mario Urrutia
No, we don't.
Ryan Lemond
We don't.
Matt Jones
Mario, do you even know what the Andy Griffith show is?
Mario Urrutia
I do not.
Ryan Lemond
Oh, my gosh, Is that bad? Have you ever seen an episode?
Mario Urrutia
Speaking of episodes.
Matt Jones
Hang on just a second. You've never heard. I mean, I've heard of the name, though.
Mario Urrutia
I've heard of the name. Sound familiar?
Matt Jones
But to be fair, there would be no reason for you to watch the Andy Griffith show. But have you. You've never seen it.
Mario Urrutia
No, I've never.
Matt Jones
Can I just give you some TV shows and you tell me if you've ever seen one episode? Let's do it, Seinfeld.
Mario Urrutia
I haven't seen a full episode. I've seen, like, clips of it.
Matt Jones
Okay. I Love Lucy.
Mario Urrutia
I've never seen that.
Matt Jones
Brady Bunch.
Mario Urrutia
I've heard of it. Never seen it.
Matt Jones
It.
Mario Urrutia
Okay, friends, seen Clips, but never watched a full episode.
Ryan Lemond
You're so old.
Matt Jones
We are. Seen any of these?
Mario Urrutia
I haven't.
Matt Jones
Cheers.
Mario Urrutia
Nah, I haven't seen that.
Matt Jones
Wow. These are all shows, like, I watched diligently, so I shouldn't even go into, like, Green Acres.
Mario Urrutia
I don't know what that is.
Shannon Dawson
Family Matters.
Mario Urrutia
I've seen Family Matters.
Matt Jones
All right, There you go. Okay. Family Matter. Full House.
Mario Urrutia
I've seen Full House.
Matt Jones
The original. Yeah.
Mario Urrutia
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Okay. All right, so now we're getting into more.
Mario Urrutia
Your Saved by the Bell.
Matt Jones
You've seen Saved by the Bell?
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Okay. Yeah.
Mario Urrutia
Speaking of episodes, have you started your Death Note?
Matt Jones
Yes, I watched episode one of Death Note for Jaden Quaintance. How was. Takes some. The whole anime thing is weird to me. I don't understand why people like it. But I did like the story. The story. The story is. So you've seen this?
Mario Urrutia
I've seen Death Note, but typically, like, with anime storylines.
Matt Jones
So the storyline is this guy finds a notebook. All right, so this is a good thought process for you, Ryan.
Ryan Lemond
All right.
Matt Jones
Guy finds a notebook. If he writes a name in the notebook, the person will die within one minute of him riding. So he gets it and thinks, I can make the world better by getting rid of all the bad people. So, like, serial killers. Serial killers, et cetera. And they will have a heart attack if he writes the name in the notebook. So the first thing he does is they read about a serial killer on the loose that they can't find. He writes his name in the notebook, and then he's dead.
Ryan Lemond
Dude. Society a favor.
Shannon Dawson
What if you share a name with somebody?
Matt Jones
Oh, no. You. You say which one it is. Okay. Like, they. They're very clear. You have to. I think the thing says you have to picture his face. You have to picture his face in your head while you're riding it in order for it to work.
Mario Urrutia
Interesting.
Matt Jones
So. And then. So he's like, I'm gonna use this for good to save the world. I think the theme is going to be once you have that power, you'll go out of control. That's just my guess. But do you. What do you think about that? Like, if there was some. Would you do that? Would you want to have the power that you could write a name?
Mario Urrutia
He can't do that.
Matt Jones
And the person would be. Would go away.
Ryan Lemond
I could never do that. I could.
Matt Jones
But what if it was like, it's 1939. Would you write Hitler's name?
Ryan Lemond
I think that might be one I would write.
Matt Jones
So you would like to have that.
Ryan Lemond
Power just for Hitler.
Matt Jones
We can't just.
Ryan Lemond
And then I'm going to give the notebook to somebody else.
Shannon Dawson
What about for Schlitler?
Matt Jones
Well, wait a minute. Why would. Why would you want to give it to somebody else? Because he. He talks about that at first. He says, I want to give this somebody else. And then he says, I trust myself to wield the power more than I trust anyone else.
Caller
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
I couldn't do that.
Matt Jones
Even for somebody that's you. Everyone agrees is awful. You wouldn't do it.
Ryan Lemond
I couldn't do it.
Matt Jones
That.
Ryan Lemond
Just me. I couldn't do it.
Matt Jones
So this is the show, is the point.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah. I want to.
Shannon Dawson
I want Ryan to be on the show. Will he write the name of the book? That's the show I want to see.
Matt Jones
No. So that. So I've watched one episode, and I can see why Jaden Quaint's liked.
Mario Urrutia
I'm gonna wait.
Ryan Lemond
There's 800 episodes like this.
Matt Jones
There's only 35. There's the other show he mentioned, One piece. There are 1200 episodes, and I'm not gonna watch. Yeah, that's too much commitment.
Ryan Lemond
That's where Josiah's buddy Darion was watching all of our road trips. We went to seven on seven tournaments and stuff. He sat in the backseat and watched 800 episode. Those kind of episodes.
Matt Jones
Really?
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Why do you think kids like the.
Ryan Lemond
I don't know.
Matt Jones
I don't. It's like not even really well done cartoons.
Mario Urrutia
I think it's the storylines. That's what people fall in love with, not necessarily what it looks like.
Matt Jones
Yeah. All right, who's up next?
Shannon Dawson
Bob and Jamestown.
Matt Jones
Bob in Jamestown. 859-280-2287. Go ahead.
Caller
In this weird Kentucky weather for the last three months, it's been a drought. And then Tuesday, Lexington had the wettest, ninth wettest weather recorded. I mean, it's just too weird. I was up there.
Ryan Lemond
I had.
Shannon Dawson
Sorry. You waited an hour and a half tell us that.
Caller
I mean, how do you explain it from a drought to the ninth wettest?
Matt Jones
I can't explain why we had so much rain the other day, Bob. I mean, I can. I'm sorry, I don't really have an answer for that question.
Caller
It washed out. Memorial Hall There now the Forks, your area.
Matt Jones
We got some Russell Springs folks here. So, Bob, Russell county is in the house.
Caller
Yep. It's been dry. It's been really been dry. But then, like I say, I was up there. Tuesday wore out Memorial Hall. Now the court's gonna have to dry out.
Matt Jones
Yeah. All right. Bob. Okay. Thank you very much, man. Good to talk to you, Bill.
Ryan Lemond
Mac not called in today.
Matt Jones
Yeah.
Mario Urrutia
That was good points, though.
Caller
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
We did have a drought.
Shannon Dawson
I just want you to know, because he waited on hold for an hour and a half yesterday and we didn't get to him. And then we go to him and that's what we get.
Matt Jones
That's. I think that's what he does. I think that's just what he does. Fan day is Saturday, folks. For uk, it starts at noon. Mark Pope will go on stage at 12:30. Kenny Brooks after that, then all the women's players and all the men's players. It's an all day event. You. A, I think it's awesome UK's doing it. B, I hope people come because I want to. I want them to have the incentive to keep doing this. This is kind of. And it's completely free. I. I can't remember. Can you remember UK ever doing something like this where it was free? They've done this where you had to pay before. But do you. Can you remember them ever doing it?
Ryan Lemond
Not for basketball. You know, used to have fan day for football was a big free event, but nothing like this for basketball. And I now remember.
Matt Jones
Does any. Can anybody remember that?
Ryan Lemond
No.
Matt Jones
Well, I can't explain it to you again. I just said, look at you just sitting down, just getting married tomorrow. Just because you're getting married tomorrow doesn't mean you get your own personal show where I explain it again. But it really is amazing. And I think I hear they're gonna have a lot of activities. You're gonna be able to maybe shoot with the players, something like little kids. Not. Not you, Mario. But like little kids will be able to.
Ryan Lemond
This is exactly what the football team should have done this year of all years, get us to let us get to know these kids, get excited about these kids before the season started.
Matt Jones
So it's 12 to 4:30. You can go in and out too. You can go to. You can go and then come back and go and then come back. Hopefully you'll come by the bar and see us at some point Saturday. And then Big Blue Madness is seven. You gonna watch Big Blue Madness?
Ryan Lemond
Oh, I can't wait to watch it.
Matt Jones
I hear there is. I don't know what it is, but I've been told by people that know there's a surprise that Kentucky fans will really like.
Ryan Lemond
Really?
Matt Jones
Have you had. Have you heard.
Ryan Lemond
No, I do not.
Matt Jones
I don't know if it's a person, a place, a thing, any kind of noun adverb. I'm not sure which one it is, but I've heard that they're doing something that they think will be an exciting surprise.
Ryan Lemond
But like Drew said, I don't think the floor will light up like a football field and they'll bring Mark Stoops out this year. I think that's probably not going to happen.
Matt Jones
I don't.
Mario Urrutia
I'm excited.
Matt Jones
Do you know what that you tend to know these things. Do you know what the surprise.
Mario Urrutia
I do not know, but I'm excited. I know last year they, they brought out Rick Patino. So that was cool. So maybe you might see another person who knows.
Ryan Lemond
I don't know.
Matt Jones
Yeah, I honestly have no idea. If you have a kitchen that you don't like, it's not going to fix itself. Some people say I'll wait till January to start the remodel, but by then Estate Renovations is already going to be booked.

I never thought either of them were funny. Ah, I agree with you about Friends. It's not funny. But Seinfeld, that's legitimately funny.
Mario Urrutia
Who's the. Who's the main guy on Seinfeld?
Matt Jones
Jerry? His name is actually interesting enough. Seinfeld. Okay.
Mario Urrutia
I won't ask any more questions.
Matt Jones
No, no, you can ask a question. That's just his name is. Would you think his name wouldn't be Seinfeld? I mean, I understand if you didn't think the guy's name was Friends.
Shannon Dawson
Mario.
Matt Jones
But Seinfeld doesn't mean anything except Seinfeld.
Shannon Dawson
Mario. The main guy on the Andy Griffith show is Andy Griffith. You've never seen it.
Matt Jones
Same exact. Thank you, Shannon. Yeah, same exact situation. 859-280-2287 Want to give a shout out to UK women's basketball team. Another top 20 commitment yesterday. Emily McDonald commits to UK women. Kenny's gonna end up with another top 10 class this year in women's recruiting. Clearly UK is investing in women's basketball to get all these young women to come and they get another one yesterday.
Ryan Lemond
You know, I thought last year he had the tallest team I'd ever seen. He said they're even taller this year. He's got like 6, 6, 6, 5, 6, 5 across the front line. They may the bust out season they had last year may be even better this year.
Matt Jones
Oh, I think they're going to be. Kenny's making a final four here. I don't know when it's going to be but like Kenny Brooks is silently going to be like an assassin of a coach because he is recruiting well. You know, in one year they were really good. Right?
Mario Urrutia
Definitely changed the program already.
Matt Jones
Yeah, yeah.
Mario Urrutia
You got to give him his credit.
Matt Jones
You seem like you're holding off on his credit. Are you?
Mario Urrutia
No, I feel like people haven't really been talking about the especially this year.
Matt Jones
Because he ended up getting hired at the same time as Mark. It ended up not getting quite the attention.
Ryan Lemond
Kind of been under the radar a little bit and shouldn't be. They've been great.
Matt Jones
Our draft kings picks the night Phillies Dodgers. Did the Dodgers end up winning and going the championship? They didn't do it last last night.
Ryan Lemond
Dodgers win tonight.
Matt Jones
Dodgers win tonight. What do you got, Shannon?
Shannon Dawson
Dodgers win and go on to the NLCS to play whoever's Christopher Sanchez versus Tyler Glass.
Matt Jones
No. Who you got?
Mario Urrutia
I'm going Tyler. I'm going with Tyler.
Matt Jones
All right, so you're taking the Dodgers. I like it. Brewers and Cubs. Do the Cubs keep it going?
Ryan Lemond
Oh, he's got a Cubs jersey on.
Matt Jones
Both teams throwing bullpen games tonight, right? I think. I think both teams are doing a bullpen game, which that tells you how much baseball's changed that. But teams are throwing bullpen games in game for the playoffs. Who you got?
Ryan Lemond
How can you have a bullpen game? You're in the playoffs, man.
Matt Jones
I think the. The Cubs are behind because they had to play in that other series. And then the Brewers. The. The brewers, their bullpen is so good. They've got like six guys throw 100 miles an hour. So that's why they're doing it.
Ryan Lemond
Yes. They need to suck it up. Stop doing this. Like, I pitched three days ago. I can't pitch again.
Matt Jones
Is that what they say?
Ryan Lemond
Yeah. Shannon's a pitcher. You know, you suck it up. Get out there.
Matt Jones
When they do it.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, I can't throw today, coach. I threw three days ago.
Matt Jones
I didn't. I. There's no reason for their voice to be like that. But go. Who you got?
Ryan Lemond
I hate the Cubs. So it Brewers. Yeah.
Matt Jones
All right.
Mario Urrutia
I'm going with the Cubs, man. I'm rooting with my guy right here.
Matt Jones
I'm gonna take the Cubs to send it to game five. What do you got?
Shannon Dawson
Milwaukee ends it tonight.
Matt Jones
All right, there you go. Those are your draft Kings picks of the night. Who's up next?
Shannon Dawson
Let's go to Mark.
Matt Jones
Mark. Go ahead, Mark.
Caller
Hey, guys, real quick one. Did you ever find out the. The answer to the denim outfit?
Matt Jones
Yes, I understand. So. So someone wrote me that was the plant manager for the jeans place that the sites are guy owned in Henderson. And he said while yes, we did do jeans and the jeans were the best, we were not the ones that came up with the Converse uniforms. Ah, so he was.
Caller
The truth is lying is your thing at the Singletary Center. Is that open to the public?
Matt Jones
It is. Yes. The single Terry center thing is open to the public. It's at 5:30 on Monday.
Caller
And since Arkansas is looking for a coach, we have one for sale. They took our basketball coach. Can we. Can we give them the. Our football coach?
Matt Jones
That would be hilarious. What if Mark Stoops, I appreciate the call. Became the Arkansas football coach and then they end up having both of our coaches.
Ryan Lemond
They would be.
Matt Jones
And then they still hate each other. That's true.
Ryan Lemond
Can then the Tyson chicken man come and try to get stoops away from us?
Matt Jones
That would be hilarious. Because Shannon, they hated each other here. And then they ended up having to get together again.
Shannon Dawson
Can't get away from each other.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Shannon Dawson
I wonder how long Bobby Petrino was gonna work there.
Matt Jones
I. First of all, how insane is it that Bobby Petrino is now the coach of Arkansas again?
Shannon Dawson
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
Left in shame.
Matt Jones
How he left. He left because he was having a relationship with a staffer and ended up wrecking a motorcycle while being chased by her boyfriend. And he's back, buddy.
Shannon Dawson
Facing boyfriend back.
Matt Jones
Can you. I mean, what is it about that man? He got brought back to Louisville and Arkansas.
Ryan Lemond
I don't get it.
Matt Jones
Why can't people quit him?
Ryan Lemond
Brokeback Mountain. I don't know what's going on over there. We said I can't quit you. Remember that line in the movie Brokeback Mountain? He said I can't quit you. Then you said they couldn't quit him. So Arkansas is like Brokeback Mountain.
Matt Jones
That has nothing to do. Where's your head at?
Ryan Lemond
I feel we're a little loopy. It's just Thursday.
Matt Jones
There's no weed. You're. This is you.
Ryan Lemond
There's places full. There's cameras. Walk around in here. What's going on?
Matt Jones
Yeah, wkyt. I hope we didn't do anything. What is wrong with you? You, by the way.
Ryan Lemond
Well, you said that line and that's what the line came from.
Commercial Announcer 1
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
I can't quit you.
Matt Jones
Okay. Thank you. I get it. I follow it. Tonight you got Giants and Eagles. We'll be here Thursday Night Football sponsored by Cornbread Hemp. You can come in. They're going to be giving away fun. And also two baseball games tonight. Get the wings, burgers and then tomorrow we are at Wild Eggs out in Hamburg. Come see us. Always a fun show. And they usually give food and more things.
Ryan Lemond
It's a non stop food fest out there and it's great food. So come on out. Breakfast brunch and lunch with a bar should be fine.
Matt Jones
I remember you liking that movie. I just didn't know that you quoted it all the time.
Ryan Lemond
I can't quit you. Matt.
Matt Jones
Thank you very much. We'll see you all later. This is enjoy your wedding tomorrow at the at the congratulations garage sale. This has been Kentucky sports radio.

Host: Matt Jones with Ryan Lemond, Shannon Dawson, Mario Urrutia Airing on iHeartPodcasts and Sports Talk 790 (WKRD-AM)
In this lively episode of KSR, Matt Jones and the crew celebrate "Ask Anything Thursday," inviting texts and calls about anything—sports, city life, pop culture, hypothetical scenarios, and more. The team delivers their characteristic UK (University of Kentucky) news and views, sharp banter, Kentucky humor, and honest takes on everything from city rivalries to iconic TV shows. They also touch on upcoming UK athletics events and local happenings, answer whimsical hypotheticals, and reminisce about classic television.
Lexington Best:
Lexington Worst:
Louisville Best:
Louisville Worst:
“Louisville people want to argue, and Lexington people just want to live and be happy.” – Adam Edelen, quoted by Matt, 13:02
On Louisville’s food scene:
“Louisville’s got the best food choices. ... I'd be interested how many [cities of its size] have better food choices than Louisville.” – Matt, 08:33
On Lexington’s traffic:
“There is no worse traffic for a city of this size anywhere in the United States.” – Matt, 06:25
On city differences:
“Louisville people want to argue, and Lexington people just want to live and be happy.” – from Adam Edelen, quoted by Matt, 13:02
On Mario’s TV ignorance:
“His name is actually interesting enough, Seinfeld?” – Mario, 38:08
“Would you think his name wouldn’t be Seinfeld? ... I understand if you didn’t think the guy’s name was Friends.” – Matt, 38:20
On Bobby Petrino:
“He left because he was having a relationship with a staffer and ended up wrecking a motorcycle while being chased by her boyfriend. And he’s back, buddy.” – Matt, 42:48
On Big Blue Madness:
“I hear there is ... a surprise that Kentucky fans will really like.” – Matt, 35:00
As always, the KSR crew mixes sports, Kentucky pride, irreverent humor, and loose conversational energy. The pace is upbeat, the banter playful, and there's a warmth and inclusivity as listeners’ texts and calls shape much of the content. The show captures the unique spirit of Kentucky sports and local culture—where everyone’s opinion is welcome, and no topic is off-limits.
This episode of KSR showcases the radio team’s signature blend of sports talk and Kentucky lifestyle. From comparing the best and worst of Lexington and Louisville, pondering hypothetical miracles (and disasters) in UK athletics, reacting to pop culture touchpoints, celebrating UK’s women’s basketball recruiting wins, to previewing Big Blue Madness and Fan Day—the show ranges freely and insightfully. Notable is the good-natured ribbing about generational divides in TV and entertainment, a testament to the show’s cross-generational reach. Ultimately, it’s an episode that puts Kentucky pride and the pulse of the fanbase front and center.
