• Matt answers a listener's request for a TV show to binge while his wife is away.
  • Matt: "Task on HBO... really, really good about these guys who rob drug houses... everyone would like. This is an everyone show."
• Co-hosts mention the show "Zero Day" on Netflix, starring Robert De Niro, about an internet shutdown and the ensuing political crisis.
• Discussion on how De Niro’s show seemed to arrive quietly:
  • Co-host: “I hadn’t heard anything about it until I watched it.”

2. Sports Broadcasters & Political Commentary

[03:21-07:07]

• Listener asks if Matt feels he was "ahead of the curve" as a sports figure talking about politics, now that big names like Paul Finebaum and Stephen A. Smith frequently do it.
• Matt clarifies he supports sports figures talking politics if they “know what they’re talking about.”
  • Matt: "What bothers me is when people get up and they don’t know what they’re talking about and just ’cause they’re smart at sports..."
• Critiques TV news trends of bringing on celebrities or non-experts:
  • "CNN basically has like a clown show... They bring a fitness person... guy from Shark Tank... a 19-year-old kid..."
• Panel laughs about KSR not being a show of political experts:
  • "I mean I don’t think anybody listens… and goes, that’s a political expert."
• Brief tangent on Alabama sports celebrities running for office (Tuberville, Finebaum, Bruce Pearl, Barkley):

3. LeBron James, Pizza, and Celebrity Quirks

[07:10-10:03]

• Matt brings up LeBron James being roasted online for eating pizza with a knife and fork, declaring:
  • "It’s unacceptable... If I see somebody eating a hot dog with a knife and fork, I think they’re a psychopath."

  • Co-host: “When he’s so corny off the court, it’s when I’m like, Come on, LeBron.”

4. The Louvre Jewel Heist & Museum Security Lapses

**[10:03-14:48]
Peak Segment: [10:03-14:04]

• Discussion of a real-life jewel heist at the Louvre, executed simply with an old rickety ladder and a hammer, not the cinematic Ocean’s Eleven style.
  • Matt: "They just had a ladder, Shannon... Broke through the window on the second floor... Ran in, broke the glass, got it, came down the ladder and left… in what, seven and a half minutes?"
• Bewilderment over lax security:
  • Matt: "At the Louvre they tell you can’t take pictures with your camera because it’ll ruin the jewels, but you can just break the glass with a hammer."
• Questions security policies—guards are instructed to flee rather than intervene.
• Speculates about how such stolen art/jewels are fenced on the black market, the limits of the “insurance scam” angle, and why someone would want to privately own something they can’t display.

5. Kentucky Football Coaching, Mark Stoops & Potential Replacements

[14:37-35:15, 43:22-45:11]

• Longtime Kentucky football fans call in, discussing the era when a six-win season was a triumph, contrasted against Mark Stoops’ now under-scrutiny tenure.
• Debate on whether Stoops would renegotiate his contract if the team continues its slump, with a digression into agent Jimmy Sexton’s role in college football coaching deals:
  • Matt [18:08]: "That’s actually a fair point. When you have, like, the best agent in the country, he is not going to want to set a precedent..."
• Topic: who should replace Stoops if he leaves? Panel and callers discuss and debate Brad White’s candidacy versus John Sumrall, Will Stein, and external options:
  • Panel puts out a call for any fans supporting Brad White, with only a few responding and providing brief reasons (e.g., defense consistency, player support, possibility to bring in an offensive coordinator).
  • Stacy (Caller) [35:31]: "He loves Kentucky. He is a great developer and all of his players love him..."
• Consensus emerges that while some support Brad White, he lacks a substantial clamoring fan base compared to other candidates.

[24:40-27:37]

• NBA opening night discussed: Reed Sheppard over/under 1.5 made threes, with panelists sharing their bets.

  • Matt: "Every Tuesday night during the NBA season, there will be two live games on NBC network television."

7. Miscellaneous: The Evansville Picasso

[28:09, 38:54-41:14]

• An Evansville, Indiana storage facility mystery: a rare Picasso, mislabeled for years due to a misunderstanding of artistic terminology, is now the centerpiece of the local museum, drawing potential global visitors.
  • Matt: "You don’t want to get it stolen… And then in 2024, a private art group has donated the money to the Evansville Museum for them to be able to do what they need to do to showcase the Picasso…"

[42:22-43:05]

[Co-host or Producer]

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

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio 859-280-2287. Text Machine 772-774-5254. Some great texts coming in today. Really good questions. Now let me give you a couple non sports questions. All right, they've come in. One person writes Matt, I need a television show to watch this week. My wife is out of town. I need something interesting to keep my attention task on HBO task I'm only halfway through but I think it just finished Sunday and I think it's really, really good about these guys who rob drug houses. And then there's an FBI agent whose wife died and he's investigating. It's like, it's, it's very, very good. You would like it today. They this is one that I would say if you don't mind a little violence, everyone would like. This is an everyone show.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Have you seen the first episode? Got Our former Matt Ruffalo in it, right?

[Matt Jones]

Ruffalo is the star.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Yeah, yeah, I did. I liked it. I've got to get.

[Matt Jones]

I think you would HBO Max. That would be mine.

[Caller or Guest]

Are you taking a break from the anime right now to watch the Task?

[Matt Jones]

I've still, I've only gotten two anime episodes. I think it's going to be a long haul for me on the anime because it's, you know, it's, it's not totally my thing. But it's all right. It's okay.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I watched Zero Day on Netflix in like.

[Matt Jones]

Is that the Robert De Niro?

[Co-host or Panelist]

I think they're an hour long. I watched in six hours. It's just like an immediate binge.

[Matt Jones]

Is it good?

[Co-host or Panelist]

Well, it's about the country losing Internet and being shut down. Everything we're kind of doing yesterday and they're fixing that. So yeah, kind of a political thrill.

[Matt Jones]

Much about it to have a show with Robert De Niro. I feel like I didn't know what it's talked about.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Well, I watched it when I went to Denver on the plane and traveling and knocked it all out in a day because I got hooked. But I hadn't heard anything about it until I watched it.

[Matt Jones]

One person writes, Matt, I gotta ask you a question. I see all of these sports people on TV talking about politics now. Paul Fine, Bomb, Stephen A. Smith, Bomani Jones, Van Latham, Pablo Torre. Do you feel like you were ahead of the curve and that they should be all that all sports people should be on TV talking politics? Well, I wasn't ahead of the curve but I've always been interested in politics. It is amazing to me how many of these sports people are brought on now as like, like they know something, you know. So I would say I don't want to call people out. I am fine with them doing it if they know what they're talking about. I don't care if they agree with me. Like for instance, let's use Clay Travis example. I don't agree with him but he's smart and he knows the issues. So the fact that he's become a political commentator is fine with me because he know, I mean I, I, I think his opinions are bad, but he knows what he's talking about. What bothers me is when people get up and they don't know what they're talking about and just cuz they're smart at sports, you know. Stephen, like that's the stuff I don't understand.

[Caller or Guest]

But we're not gonna call anybody out.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, but the people who Know, I'm okay with it, you know, because ultimately there, somebody has to understand at some point they don't put these people on television because they know anything. They put them on there because they're entertained.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Because they're charismatic. I mean hold a conversation.

[Matt Jones]

CNN basically has like a clown show on their show. Like they bring a fitness person on there and they bring the guy from Shark Tank and they bring just, I mean, Mr.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Wonderful.

[Matt Jones]

They had a 19 year old kid on there the other day, like what does he know? He doesn't know anything. So I told my mom years ago, none of these people know anything. As long as you accept that, then it's totally fine.

[Co-host or Panelist]

That's why I don't watch most of it because as soon as I turn it on I'm like, why would I listen? Why would you talk about this?

[Matt Jones]

Like what this, this person doesn't know anything.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Like ksr, you know, you're getting football expertise.

[Matt Jones]

We, we acknowledge though we don't know any.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Yeah, we leave.

[Matt Jones]

I mean I don't think anybody listens Shannon to Ryan and goes, that's a political expert.

[Co-host or Producer]

No, no.

[Caller or Guest]

I do have a political question for you.

[Matt Jones]

Oh no.

[Caller or Guest]

So what's going on in Alabama? Tommy Tuberville.

[Matt Jones]

That's your question.

[Caller or Guest]

Paul Feinbomb.

[Matt Jones]

Things are going on.

[Caller or Guest]

Tommy Tuberville, Paul Finebaum. Bruce Pearl's flirted with it. Charles Barkley flirted with it. Everybody in Alabama, they have to be a former athlete or connected to sports or.

[Matt Jones]

Exactly. I mean that's stupid too. Like. And again, I consider running but I remember looking at the Democrats when I went up there and met with them and like it should. You shouldn't have to use me. Right. Like you shouldn't have to use me. I'm a sports person. But in Alabama it seems like it's the only thing. Why like Kaylin DeBoer will run one day. I don't know. I mean Paul Fine Bomb versus Bruce Pearl is the most ridiculous primary you could.

[Caller or Guest]

But we would all pay attention to it.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I would not. Yeah, but I mean that's like, that's what it's all just. You have to be a celebrity now and then. Alabama sports is the biggest celebrity thing.

[Caller or Guest]

Do you think Fein Bomb is really going to try to run?

[Matt Jones]

Well, I mean I haven't talked to him, but I don't know why he would say all this. He probably won't. I mean he's making a lot of money but I don't know what's the. Why does he do all this if he's not going to run.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You know, now people might say the same thing about me, but I genuinely almost did. Like, I mean, ESPN is not going to love that he did all this unless. Unless he runs. So I don't know, but I doubt it. None of these. I mean, Stephen A's not gonna run either, right? They just say it.

[Caller or Guest]

You never know with him. He's such a wild card.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, that's one way to put it. 859-280-2287 all right, let's talk about a couple of this is non serious stuff. LeBron James, who, by the way, Stephen A. Smith did said I don't like his ass yesterday. Yeah, like what's that?

[Co-host or Producer]

I mean literally or just like him in general?

[Matt Jones]

I think he meant him in general.

[Co-host or Panelist]

More squats.

[Matt Jones]

But like you're a sports. I thought that was. But he was. He posted an Instagram photo of him eating pizza and he says, best pizza in la. And in the picture he's eating it with a knife and fork and he's getting blasted for saying you cannot eat pizza. It was regular pig wasn't deep dish. This was just slice you would get.

[Caller or Guest]

Okay?

[Matt Jones]

And he said, and everybody's blasting for a knife and a fork. Is it acceptable? I'm not talking deep dish. I'm talking slice of pizza. Like you would get it. Say Goodfell. Is it acceptable to eat with a knife and a fork?

[Co-host or Panelist]

It has to be a pretty messy pizza. I mean, like you said deep dish, that's almost like a lasagna. You pretty much have to. But just a standard slice. No, I think you gotta eat it like a, like a real person.

[Matt Jones]

I think it's unacceptable.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Use your hands.

[Matt Jones]

You have to eat pizza. It's like a hot dog. If I see somebody eating a hot dog with a knife and fork, I think they're a psychopath. Exactly. Even unless you're like maybe at Skyline and the chili's really runny.

[Caller or Guest]

He.

[Matt Jones]

It was a normal piece of pizza and he's eating with a knife and a fork. It's the first time I've thought, okay, Michael Jordan is the greatest. For sure. It's not even a debate because he would eat it with his hands.

[Caller or Guest]

I'm going to give a pass. One instance. If you have braces, you can eat pizza with a knife and a fork.

[Co-host or Producer]

LeBron doesn't have braces.

[Matt Jones]

What do you mean if you have braces?

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah, if you try to eat pizza with braces, it gets all in your junk and your braces and your brackets and Your wires.

[Matt Jones]

When did you have braces?

[Caller or Guest]

In high school.

[Matt Jones]

So this is stuck with you for 40 years.

[Caller or Guest]

Oh, yeah? Yeah. I used to eat pizza with a knife and a fork when I had braces, so I'll give you a pass on that.

[Co-host or Producer]

How does that change things, though? I mean, it's still going in your mouth.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, it gets stuck in your.

[Caller or Guest]

Stuck in all your wires.

[Matt Jones]

I'm like that. I remember when I had braces, corn on the cob. I couldn't eat. I could not eat it with brace. I had to, like, cut it off. So I, I. But, but let's assume LeBron's not wearing braces. Acceptable.

[Caller or Guest]

Absolutely not.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon.

[Caller or Guest]

Like a man.

[Co-host or Producer]

No, I'm with you. It's like eating a hamburger with a fork and a knife. You're not going to do that. So. No, you, you can't. Can't do it like that.

[Co-host or Panelist]

This is the kind of stuff LeBron does that's little corny. Like a lot of haters. I'm not a LeBron hater. But like, when he says he reads a book and they ask him his favorite part, and he can't say a single thing about the book. He claims he invented Taco Tuesday. He just put stuff out there where.

[Matt Jones]

It'S like, come on, I worked at.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Taco Tuesday in, like middle school. LeBron was in middle school when I was working.

[Matt Jones]

Claims he invented the question mark.

[Co-host or Panelist]

LeBron, this one isn't as bad. But when he's so corny off the court, it's when I'm like, Come on, LeBron.

[Matt Jones]

I want to like, fair point.

[Caller or Guest]

All right.

[Matt Jones]

What do we think about the break in at the Louvre?

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah, they.

[Matt Jones]

They break through this. First of all, I'm shocked how easy it was. So I thought, when I heard that they broke in the Louvre and stole all these jewels, I thought it had to be like an Ocean's Eleven plot.

[Caller or Guest]

Yes, of course.

[Matt Jones]

Right. Like, I thought they had to be using lasers. Don Cheadle would be involved in a van somewhere. A van. There would be an acrobat coming down the ceiling. They just had a ladder, Shannon. Yeah, just a ladder. Broke through the window on the second floor. Ran in, broke the glass, got it, came down the ladder and left, like.

[Caller or Guest]

In what, seven and a half minutes?

[Co-host or Producer]

That's right. Yep. That's amazing.

[Matt Jones]

Seems to me for jewels that they said are incalculable in val.

[Co-host or Producer]

In value, it's that easy.

[Matt Jones]

How's it that easy?

[Co-host or Producer]

All you need it was a ladder from Home Depot.

[Caller or Listener]

You.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, he just had a ladder. Did you see the ladder, it's like an old painter's ladder, like rickety ladder.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Just lean it against the building.

[Matt Jones]

The Louvre is. I've been there. It's like one of the most crowded museums in the world. And it hadn't opened yet, but it was about to open. So everyone was waiting outside.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Do you think because of the ladder and just the sheer audacity, people were walking by like, well, I guess he's just painting the wall.

[Matt Jones]

There's no way, there's no way they're breaking in. Yeah, because he's just got it leaned.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Against the front of the building, climbing up it.

[Matt Jones]

I. It's unbelievable. And they stole eight of them. They also said the Lou's policy is when they hear of a break in, they have the security guards go outside so they, I guess they don't get shot. But what's the point of having a security guard if they run outside?

[Co-host or Producer]

Yeah, they're gonna run away from.

[Matt Jones]

I mean no offense to the French, but like if what? Like I could the security guards leave if they know there's a break in. That's what this article said.

[Caller or Guest]

Run outside and hide from people.

[Matt Jones]

What are they doing they don't want. They're trying to protect the security guards. Like, like not get them shot.

[Caller or Guest]

Then why have security guards?

[Matt Jones]

Might as well just have cameras. What's the point of a security guard if he sees something and then runs away?

[Co-host or Panelist]

Reminds me, I was a pool watcher but I wasn't certified. So if someone was drowning, I wasn't allowed to do anything. I had to call someone. I was like, well, this defeats the purpose of me.

[Matt Jones]

You have a lifeguard, you can't jump in the pool.

[Co-host or Panelist]

That was me days in Madisonville, my first job.

[Matt Jones]

You worked at the days indoor pool in the summ.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Should have seen my tan.

[Matt Jones]

They had a lifeguard at the days in.

[Co-host or Panelist]

No, don't call me a lifeguard. I would sit there all day, but if something happened, I had to call someone. That was certified.

[Co-host or Producer]

The relay man.

[Matt Jones]

Basically basically just a phone call guy. So he got out. Now my second question is where are they going to sell this?

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah, it words out. Words out. It's been stolen. We gonna do with it?

[Matt Jones]

I don't understand why you would want something that you couldn't. I mean, I guess they could sell it on the black market, but then the person that gets it, what are they going to do with it?

[Co-host or Producer]

Put it on Facebook market. I mean you can't do anything with it. You can't. It's only bragging. Rights and then somebody's going to talk and brag to their friends and then that person's going to tell they're going to get.

[Matt Jones]

But isn't it crazy that they're not caught yet? I mean they broke into the world's most popular museum minutes before it opened in broad daylight in Paris, France on, on a rickety old ladder and they're not caught yet.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I know it's an old building, but I thought we would have had some thicker glass in it.

[Matt Jones]

Me too.

[Co-host or Panelist]

They just like tap it with a hammer.

[Matt Jones]

They said he hit it with a hammer. I mean they pulled this off with.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Just a regular painter's truck and the tools they had in it.

[Matt Jones]

Literally. They could have gotten the guy that's painting office building and done this. He took a ladder, hit a hammer through the window, ran in, hit a hammer. The glass on the jewels, I thought that was thicker, didn't you?

[Caller or Guest]

You'd think that would be like bulletproof, crack proof glass.

[Matt Jones]

At the Louvre they tell you can't take pictures with your camera because it'll ruin the jewels, but you can just break the glass with a hammer.

[Caller or Guest]

Doesn't seem possible.

[Matt Jones]

That story is amazing to me. And the fact that they're still, still not caught, they still don't know who did it.

[Caller or Guest]

Right. You know, there's cameras all around the outside and inside of the building too. They got video of these people. Somehow they got away.

[Matt Jones]

It is unbelievable. Mark Anthony. Go ahead.

[Caller or Listener]

Matthew. Understand they're scared they're going to bust the stones off all those pieces and sell them. I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

Maybe so, but I would think the stones together in the. I would think the history is what makes the value, not the stone itself. So if you break it all apart, you don't have the history. But what do I know? I don't know.

[Caller or Listener]

You got some pretty good sized stones from the picture. Nonetheless. Anyway, you know, the youngsters these days, they do not remember the day when a six win season and going to the toilet bowl was major victory for us. They don't remember that stuff. Then Stoops, he had what, eight straight bowl years. Yes, yes, that's what they remember. And then he got a contract based on eight straight bow years having the most wins of any head coach ever. And ever since then the value, his product has fallen off.

[Matt Jones]

Correct.

[Caller or Listener]

Here we are. And so at the end of the year, assuming that Mitch calls him in, says mark, we got to do something, I don't know that he'll offer a compromise. Shannon's absolutely right. He's perfectly within his rights to demand the contract be filled as it's written. But I, I think he'd have to be a butt head to do that because he knows he has not delivered the quality product.

[Matt Jones]

Well. It would be interesting to see Mark Anthony and I don't know the answer to this. I appreciate the call. Have coaches ever done that? Has any coach ever been like, I'll work with you? I don't know, maybe somebody, maybe somebody who knows more about it than I do can answer that. Cornbread Hemps is helping folks settle in the season with a little extra feel good.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back, Techie Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. One person writes, Matt, I don't think Jimmy Sexton's going to be agreeable. That's Stoops, his agent. If people don't know, because it would set the president that other coaches should do the same thing. That's actually a fair point. When you have, like, the best agent in the country, he is not going to want to set a precedent that then other schools can go, hey, Jimmy, you did it with Mark Stoops. Maybe you could do with us. I hadn't really thought of it like that, but that's actually a really good point.

[Co-host or Panelist]

And he's a shark.

[Matt Jones]

He is. Wonder what makes him so good. Like, everybody acts like, yo, you have Jimmy Sexton. I mean, even Lane Kiffin brought him up. Lane Kiffin said something like, all these contracts are what they are because of Jimmy Sexton.

[Co-host or Panelist]

And he has a lot of these guys that are named this cycle. He's got a busy couple months coming up.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. All right, so a lot of people are saying, shannon, they're gonna recut the stones, melt down the precious metals, and then. And then do it. I get that. But I would think, and again, I know nothing about jewels, but I would think the fact that these were like queen whatevers makes them more valuable than they would just be as a jewel on themselves, right?

[Co-host or Producer]

I would think so, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, I guess maybe you sacrifice the difference so you don't get caught and you make money.

[Co-host or Producer]

They can make multiple pieces and sell it to multiple people. Maybe make more money that way. I'm not sure. Not sure how it works. I've never stolen any diamonds before, so I wouldn't know.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I didn't think you had.

[Co-host or Producer]

I'm not a professional.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Now we know how easy it is, though.

[Co-host or Producer]

Yeah, that's the scary thing about it.

[Caller or Guest]

I mean, I got a ladder.

[Co-host or Producer]

In general, you can just walk into a building, you think, you know, some of these places are on lockdown and you can just walk right in if you got a ladder.

[Matt Jones]

I cannot believe the Louvre. Like, what? I mean, of all the museums, like, that is the most famous museum in the world, and they got in. You got to look up the ladder. Like, I don't Even know if I would get on that ladder, I'd be worried I was going to fall.

[Caller or Guest]

And it said seven and a half minutes. Had to take two or three minutes to climb the ladder and climb down. So there are they in the loo for just like a minute.

[Matt Jones]

I. I just. I now think I. I've watched all these movies where people do these elaborate. I like heist movies. Right. You have all the Ocean's 11s. There's a TV show called Heist that's like a Spanish show that's kind of good.

[Co-host or Panelist]

The Italian Job.

[Matt Jones]

The Italians. Yes, that's a great one. I love all that. And now to think it's just. Well. Get you a hammer, Bobby.

[Caller or Guest]

Let's go, Rob.

[Matt Jones]

I'm looking at it again.

[Co-host or Panelist]

It's just propped up against it's.

[Matt Jones]

I can't believe it's that easy. It's taken the whole myth of it away from me. Julio, what's up?

[Caller or Listener]

All right, first time caller, long time listener.

[Matt Jones]

What's up?

[Caller or Listener]

So with the high stuff, I was. I. I have a different point when we get to. But there's pink panthers. They rob a lot of places in Europe now. They're doing interviews because they're retiring. Basically. You don't do a heist like that unless you already have a fence and a deal made.

[Matt Jones]

Gotcha. They're called pink. So wait a minute. That's where Pink Panther comes from.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Interesting.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I didn't know that.

[Caller or Guest]

I didn't know.

[Matt Jones]

Did you know that?

[Caller or Guest]

No.

[Matt Jones]

Did you know that?

[Co-host or Panelist]

No.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon, did you know that's where pink Panther. So is that the term for those kind of robbers or pink panthers?

[Caller or Listener]

No, no, no. That's. It's a society, basically. Yeah, they're. It's loosely a mob or something. But they pull these heist and basically rich people pay them and they fence this thing. The jewels are largely insured, so it's a large insurance scam. So it doesn't really matter. Now with the loop, that's more than likely a very rich client paying a lot of money to get that.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. But then the rich client can't put it anywhere. Like one of the. Here's the thing I don't understand about art. And then I'll let you make a point. I've never understood the idea that you would buy a painting or buy a piece of art and then not hang it up.

[Caller or Guest]

Right. If it was stolen, you.

[Matt Jones]

Same thing. So if you have these jewels, you've got like, I've got the queen of France and 1530s jewels. If you can't show anybody. And you have to hide it, Shannon, so you don't go to prison. What was the point of having it to begin with?

[Co-host or Producer]

So, I mean, that's usually what happens. You know, you. You want to brag about this, so you invite your friends to brag about it. Then they tell somebody. They tell somebody, and then next thing you know, they find out where it is.

[Matt Jones]

But, like, I don't understand why you would want a piece of art or something if you couldn't display it. Like these people who buy paintings and put them in storage. I don't understand that.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Gotta be an ego thing, just knowing you have it.

[Co-host or Producer]

Yeah, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

And you have so much painting, but I'm gonna keep it in a storage rack. Then why don't you just buy stuff?

[Co-host or Producer]

People with those egos like to brag about it, and that's why the truth always comes out.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Panelist]

And they probably have so much that they can't get, you know, satisfaction from going out. That's probably true.

[Matt Jones]

Go ahead, Julio. What was your other thing?

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, you mentioned a couple weeks ago Brad White would be the favorite to replace Stoops, or at least one of the favorites. No, no, no.

[Matt Jones]

That wasn't what I said. I said that Brad White would have been going into the season if you had said the job comes open. Brad White and John Sumrall would have been Mitch's first two choices. I think after this has played out in these last six weeks, Mitch could not pick Brad White now.

[Caller or Listener]

Okay, that makes sense. I was going to say if they were going to do that, that would be very lukewarm, the reception. So you kind of would have to almost fire Stoops now and promote him and then have him maybe win some games in order, like, to get the fan base one over to, like, embrace it.

[Matt Jones]

You're probably right about that. If you really wanted Brad White, I appreciate the call. That's probably what you'd have to do. Right. Because now they can't pick him.

[Caller or Guest]

I think there's still some people out there that. Who fans. Because they think he's. He's the.

[Matt Jones]

What fans do you think are clamoring for Brad White to be the head coach?

[Caller or Guest]

I think. I think there are fans out there that thinking that Brad White has been the coach in waiting for a couple years and.

[Matt Jones]

All right, I'd like to hear from one of those. Yeah, no, I mean. 859-280-2287. Ryan says that you exist.

[Caller or Guest]

I think they're out there.

[Matt Jones]

You do?

[Caller or Guest]

I think they're out there.

[Matt Jones]

You think the phone lines are going to light up with Brad White fans?

[Caller or Guest]

No, there aren't that many, but I think there's some out there.

[Matt Jones]

We have four open lines.

[Co-host or Producer]

Can we get four?

[Matt Jones]

Do you think we have four? No. So you're telling me opinion that you think less than four people have?

[Caller or Guest]

Probably on a day like today, you.

[Matt Jones]

Know, like one person there has it.

[Caller or Guest]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. Without telling me who the person is, describe to me the person clamoring for Brad White, besides his wife, former football.

[Caller or Guest]

Player that knows a heck of a lot more football than we do.

[Matt Jones]

And once Brad White, he would be okay with it. I think it's a little different than wanting it. All right, well, let's see. The phone lines may light up here.

[Caller or Listener]

Right?

[Caller or Guest]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

859-280-2287. The NBA starts tonight.

[Caller or Guest]

Does.

[Matt Jones]

Did you know that?

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah. Big game to what rockets and shepherd.

[Matt Jones]

Vs. Shay Gilgis Alexander to start the season. Are you going to watch Reed? Reed? Reed looks like he's not going to start, but he'll play quite a bit.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Yeah, they went with their tall lineup. They can't. Other than Durant, they can't space the floor. They just have trees out there. I can't believe they're doing tall.

[Matt Jones]

Their point guard. Six. Eight. Yeah. So Reed shepherd his over under his one and a half made threes tonight.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Oh, really?

[Caller or Listener]

About that now. Wow.

[Matt Jones]

You got that?

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah. You think he gets to even though he's not starting? I think he's going to play a lot. Me on the floor a lot.

[Matt Jones]

So you'd bet it?

[Caller or Guest]

I might bet that.

[Matt Jones]

Is that going to be our draft king? Let's play make it.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Make it right now.

[Matt Jones]

All right. So read Shepherd. More than 1 and a half? 3.

[Caller or Guest]

Do it.

[Matt Jones]

All right, I'll take it. We'll take a break. 859281. Phone line ringing for the Brad White Express. Be right back.

[Caller or Guest]

T.J. smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. he'll make him pay.

[Co-host or Producer]

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

[Matt Jones]

Have you seen the pictures of this ballroom they're putting in the White House? It's ugly. Have you seen it?

[Caller or Guest]

I haven't seen it.

[Matt Jones]

It's going to be bigger than the White House itself.

[Caller or Guest]

The ballroom.

[Matt Jones]

That's what it says. Looks ugly. I mean, I'm not an architecture guy, but the White House, I will say you go to other countries, their presidential places are much nicer than ours.

[Caller or Guest]

When we got to take the tour of the White House like Crickety Crackity Little narrow hallways, turns and corners.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Oh, it needs work. I wouldn't have done the ballroom. I would throw in some paint on what's already there.

[Matt Jones]

This drawing makes it look bigger than the actual White house, so. Well, whatever. 859-280-2287. By the way, the basketball tonight, do you know what networks have basketball?

[Caller or Guest]

I don't.

[Matt Jones]

All right. I'm looking forward to one very different. So do you know where. Do you even know where the game tonight is on opening night?

[Caller or Guest]

Don't know.

[Matt Jones]

All right. Drew does. Shane, do you know that where opening night is on?

[Co-host or Producer]

No. I could guess, but I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

NBC.

[Caller or Guest]

Really?

[Co-host or Producer]

I know.

[Matt Jones]

So every Tuesday night during the NBA season, there will be two live games on NBC network television.

[Caller or Guest]

I didn't know that.

[Matt Jones]

That hasn't happened. That hasn't happened in forever. Oh, then ESPN is tomorrow night and that's will be the debut of Barkley and all those guys on espn.

[Caller or Guest]

Okay.

[Co-host or Producer]

And they're bringing back the old NBA.

[Matt Jones]

They're bringing the old NBA music back. Basketball, basketball, basketball. Sorry, that's Sarah Livestock. But the.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Can't wait.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, so that's coming back and then there's going to be games on Amazon. It's Amazon, espn, abc, NBC. Maybe that's it. But they're. But they're all going to be on there. And Peacock. Oh, and on Peacock.

[Co-host or Panelist]

You can watch science games on Peacock.

[Caller or Guest]

They're going to do it every Tuesday night on NBC.

[Matt Jones]

I think so. And then once football ends, they'll do it also on Sunday night. So a lot of games everywhere. And you saw John Wall is on the Amazon coverage.

[Caller or Guest]

Oh, he is.

[Matt Jones]

So when the games are on Amazon, John Wall's in the studio.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Our boy Noah Eagles doing the NBC.

[Matt Jones]

Noah Eagles doing it. So a lot of people we know. All right, so there are people on here who. Who claim to be bred white people, but before we get to them, apparently just hung up.

[Co-host or Producer]

So he didn't claim to be any one hung up.

[Matt Jones]

So we've already. We've already lost. I didn't know this. You're an Evansville guy. Two hung up. Okay. Evansville. Did you know that in 2012 in Evansville a storage facility found a Picasso? No. Apparently someone had put a Picasso in a storage facility in Evansville and forgotten it. And then they found it.

[Caller or Guest]

What after the person passed and they have to open it up and get in here.

[Matt Jones]

I guess it was. When you do the things, what is it like you abandoned a storage facility so long and then you can open it up and take it.

[Caller or Guest]

And they found a Picasso painting in there.

[Matt Jones]

That's what this guy says. Now he may be wrong, but it seems like a weird story to make up. I think that's true.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I'm reading through a news story about it.

[Matt Jones]

So what does it say?

[Co-host or Panelist]

It just. So far it only says how an extremely rare Pablo Picasso was found in an Evansville museum in a storage space. I'm still going through to see value or anything but yeah, there's news stories about it.

[Matt Jones]

And then Evansville has a museum.

[Caller or Guest]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

And they had a Picasso.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I guess this is a few years old but it says it's on display at the museum. I better get my. This is from last year.

[Matt Jones]

All right, well, you look at it.

[Caller or Guest]

They found it and then put it up.

[Matt Jones]

So let's do the non Brad White call and then I want to run through these Brad White people. Nick. Go ahead, Nick.

[Caller or Listener]

Hey guys, how's it going?

[Matt Jones]

Good.

[Caller or Listener]

So first comment on Shep tonight. I would take the over. I think make more threes than that. So I'll take you over there. I'll set the line for Brad White fans at zero because I don't think there are any out there.

[Matt Jones]

There's five who claim to be. We'll see if they actually are, but go ahead.

[Caller or Listener]

Well, we'll see. I think you guys made great points yesterday about this. I can't see a world where he gets promoted and we. We ditch dudes. I just don't think the money makes sense. I'm getting ready out of town. So I had a question for you guys in the basketball front. Is it okay if I ask that?

[Matt Jones]

Go for it. Yes.

[Caller or Listener]

Okay. Looking at Purdue this weekend. So I think Chef is pretty fitting for this because I probably went to about 10 basketball games and coaches last season at RUP that year. So I saw this team play. I go to quite a few games that that season. I'm still crushed by that. The Shepherd.

[Matt Jones]

All right. But what about this Purdue thing? Yeah.

[Caller or Listener]

So what are you guys looking for this weekend? This. This Friday night. Three things you want to see from this Kentucky.

[Matt Jones]

I want to see. Appreciate the call. I want to see the team be able to defend three point shooting which is what Purdue is good at. I want to see how our offense runs and then I want to see which of these dudes not name Ortega away. Jalen Lowe. Who's going to be guys we can rely on. I think there's like eight guys and I don't know which one it's going to be. It's a Good start. You're throwing them into the. To the wild here against the number one team.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I'll add. We didn't want this to happen, but now we'll know pretty quickly the backup point guard situation because that's who will be playing. We've wondered who would be.

[Matt Jones]

It'll be Aberdeen to start, but seeing.

[Co-host or Panelist]

A little bit of the blue White. I think as the year goes on, Jasper will get more and more capable. But I think you start the year with Aberdeen.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. So I just, I really just want to see the guys in this new era, Ryan, where we don't know seven or eight of the players. One thing you just want to do is see how does it all fit together.

[Caller or Guest]

We're so loaded in the front court. I'm kind of curious to the, you know, the backcourt guys to just kind of just see how they would. How they get the minutes, how they spreads it out who's going to play.

[Matt Jones]

And by Jalen Lowe not playing, we have a built in excuse if we don't win. So we can just go, well, Jalen Low played we'd want. But if we win, we'd want. All right, I'm going to run through these Brad White people here. I'm going to get you. I want all of you on here. If you're a Brad White person. If you're not a Brad White person, just go ahead and hang up. Okay. Because I want to run through the Brad White people. Just hung up. Okay, so now.

[Caller or Guest]

I want you to.

[Matt Jones]

Give me the 22nd case for Brad White to see if Ryan was correct that a lot of fans want.

[Co-host or Producer]

There goes another person.

[Matt Jones]

Just hung up. We're down to four.

[Co-host or Producer]

They could make 20 seconds worth of a case.

[Matt Jones]

All right, four people. Steve, go get the.

[Caller or Listener]

Okay, the reason why you might want to get Brad White is we have always had an extremely good defense. Sec. When you look at all of our games, we have kept the point total low enough where if we had any kind of offense whatsoever, we could have won the game. We are in games competing in the best.

[Matt Jones]

All right, 120 seconds. But you'd have a good defense. All right, Joe in Philly, 22nd Brad White case.

[Caller or Listener]

I got the wrong segment. I thought we're doing Kevin OConnell.

[Matt Jones]

Quarter Mike, 22nd Brad White case.

[Caller or Listener]

I'm 100% behind Ryan Lemon. I think we should hire Brad Caliper for the football coach. I think are not giving babies.

[Matt Jones]

All right, now we're down to. Only one person has made the case. There's one person left on the phone. Patrick, 22nd.

[Caller or Listener]

I call for something else, Matt. I don't give a damn.

[Matt Jones]

Well, six people were on the phone.

[Co-host or Producer]

Now we have no callers.

[Matt Jones]

We have no callers. And you got one person.

[Caller or Guest]

That's all right.

[Matt Jones]

But you said there was a big part of the.

[Caller or Guest]

I did not say big. I said some. I know there's people out there. Exactly what I said. And here's the argument that somebody would.

[Matt Jones]

Make, which they didn't.

[Caller or Guest]

Not going to get these other guys. We're not going to get John some.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. Why do you say that?

[Caller or Guest]

That's an argument people are going to make? I'm. I'm not saying it.

[Matt Jones]

There's no. Now, I will grant you if we want a guy with no ties to Kentucky and Florida wants him or Penn State or Auburn, we're not going to get it. I'll grant you that.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

But with John Sumrall and Will Stein, specifically. Because Brian Hartline's connection to Kentucky's kind of tenuous. Like his brother played here and he's.

[Caller or Guest]

On the staff still, right?

[Matt Jones]

Yes. But Will Stein and Summer all have strong connections to Kentucky.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Why don't you think that can win out?

[Caller or Guest]

I'm going to say this. I think some people feel like the other schools have a bigger draw than Kentucky football.

[Matt Jones]

I agree with you in the abstract.

[Caller or Guest]

So if you got a chance to take the Florida job, but if you're.

[Matt Jones]

John Sumrall and you went here, or if you're Will Stein and you grew.

[Caller or Guest]

Up here, but it's Florida, you got more money.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I don't think Florida is looking for those guys.

[Matt Jones]

I agree. Florida's not going to hire Florida. And I don't think Penn State's going to hire Auburn.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Would be the one to watch Auburn or Ole Miss if Lane Kiffin leaves.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, but I. But I don't think Kentucky is necessarily less attractive than Ole Miss. Kentucky is less attractive than Auburn, but Ole Miss, I don't know. Would you want to follow Lane Kiffin, this dude who's had more success than anybody they've had in 40 years? That's a hard chair to fill.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I go the other way. I think it's a pretty attractive job right now because these coaches, if you're good, if you're a candidate, you're already doing well and you're confident and you're looking at Clark Lee Signetti. We've mentioned all these teams that have popped in the top 25 and they're thinking they did it. I would love to go do it at Kentucky where it hadn't been done this next step. Yeah, all these people have egos and confidence. We're taking it from the loser mentality of longtime football fans. They see an opportunity to knock down another door.

[Matt Jones]

And you could argue that when Vandy and Indiana have just had this year, Kentucky looks more attractive. You're like, yeah, they'd probably love the opportunity and the money.

[Co-host or Panelist]

You have the SEC money. The Rev shares changing.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Stacy's a Brad White fan. Go, Stacy. Stacy.

[Caller or Listener]

Yes. Right here. Can you hear me?

[Matt Jones]

Still can. Go. Yes. Yes.

[Caller or Listener]

I am a Brad White fan and I think he should be our next head coach. He loves Kentucky. He is a great developer and all of his players love him and always talk about what a great practice mentality they have in going into the game, how he's on the sideline.

[Matt Jones]

So Stacy adds to it. So now there's a clamoring Shannon. Now we're up to two.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I just could be coaching by the Tennessee game.

[Co-host or Producer]

At this rate, we'll get a few more.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I think I would ask all these people, how involved is Brad White in recruiting in NIL right now? The defense is great, but we're not hiring a defensive coordinator. You need someone who can go out and get players.

[Matt Jones]

DraftKings. So we are going to. We're going to go with the Reed Shepherd.

[Caller or Guest]

I bet it during the commercial break.

[Matt Jones]

You bet the plus one.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I made a parlay over eight points.

[Matt Jones]

All right, all your favorite NBA players are back tonight. Number one sports book for Live Bay. Well, there's two games tonight, but DraftKings sportsbook bet five. You can get up to three. First of all, you bet five dollars now you get three months of league pass.

[Caller or Guest]

[Matt Jones]

But you've already signed up.

[Caller or Guest]

Already signed up.

[Matt Jones]

That's actually a great deal.

[Co-host or Panelist]

It is a great deal.

[Matt Jones]

You get bet $5. You get three months of League Pass plus $300 in bonus bets if your bet wins.

[Caller or Guest]

You're silly if you don't. If you're an NBA guy, why wouldn't you do that?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, that would actually be great. Call 1-800-GAMBLER if you have a gaming problem. The crown is yours with DraftKings.

[Matt Jones]

So this Picasso Evansville story is actually interesting.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Would you like to hear it real quick?

[Caller or Guest]

Yes, please.

[Matt Jones]

The Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Science.

[Caller or Guest]

I may have been in that museum.

[Matt Jones]

It has a storage facility and there was a painting that was called Seated Woman with Red Hat. Okay, there's the seated woman with red Hat.

[Caller or Guest]

She does have a red hat.

[Matt Jones]

It was labeled as a jamau, but Jamaux is not a person. It's the technique Picasso used to paint. So no one ever looked at it because they thought it was a jamau, but it was actually a Picasso. When they realized it in 2012, they didn't know what to do. They were going to sell it for the money for the museum, but then they decided they wanted it to be in Evansville. But you have to have a lot of money to show a Picasso. Shannon, because of what we've talked about, you don't Want to get it stolen?

[Caller or Listener]

Right?

[Matt Jones]

Right. Yeah, you need temperature control either. And then in 2024, a private art group has donated the money to the Evansville Museum for them to be able to do what they need to do to showcase the Picasso. And it will open in January of 2026.

[Caller or Guest]

So still, it hasn't been.

[Matt Jones]

You'll be able to see a Picasso in Evansville at the Evansville Museum of Art History and Science.

[Caller or Guest]

So for the past 13 years, has this still been back in the storage unit?

[Matt Jones]

I don't know. I guess it's been in somebody's house or something.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I'm learning that people don't take good care of our fine pieces of art and jewelry. We're just taking ladders to get jewels. We're finding Picasso.

[Matt Jones]

People at the museum expect tourists from around the world to go to Evansville. There are Picasso tourist whose goal is to see every Picasso in person. And now they will have to add Evansville to their list of places.

[Caller or Guest]

I bet Don Mattingly goes to that museum.

[Matt Jones]

That's kind of. I actually think that's kind of cool for Evansville, isn't it? That they get to like. I don't know how many there are, but there probably aren't many in places like Evansville.

[Caller or Guest]

What? Hecasso died in what, the seventies?

[Matt Jones]

I don't know. I'm not sure.

[Caller or Guest]

He was in the seventies.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Does that. You miss him?

[Caller or Guest]

Well, you'd think, you know, all these Monet and Van Gogh, these guys died hundreds of years ago. Picasso was in our lifetime.

[Matt Jones]

Another artist of fame that died in your lifetime. No. Okay. Nobody.

[Caller or Guest]

I don't think.

[Matt Jones]

What about the guy with the white hair? The soup camp?

[Co-host or Producer]

I can name one.

[Matt Jones]

Wait a minute. Hang on. I want to see if this. You know that soup, the tomato soup can? He was very famous, Andy. Okay. What was his last name?

[Caller or Guest]

Dufresne.

[Matt Jones]

That was Shawshank redemption. Andy Rooney, 60 Minutes. Andy Bashir, Governor of Kentucky. Andy Warhol.

[Caller or Guest]

Andy Warhol.

[Matt Jones]

All right. You had one. Shannon.

[Co-host or Producer]

Bob Ross.

[Matt Jones]

Bob.

[Caller or Guest]

Ross.

[Matt Jones]

Yes. You could have done Bob Ross.

[Co-host or Producer]

Happy little trees.

[Matt Jones]

And then what's the guy that paints all the stuff of like. Of wilderness?

[Co-host or Panelist]

James. James or James J. Otovin. I was gonna add him.

[Matt Jones]

They have a lot of his stuff at Pine Mountain State park. In. In Pineville.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Big bird guy.

[Matt Jones]

Love birds. All right, we got. I want to get the Brad White people, but quickly. NBA starting. We have to pick our winners. Who's in the NBA Finals?

[Caller or Guest]

Of course, I would say the Pacers, but Halliburton's not playing this year.

[Matt Jones]

Yep.

[Caller or Guest]

So I'm going to. And I know everybody. I'm going to. I'm going to go the Cavs because I'm going to go off versus who? Let's say Rockets. I'll go Rockets.

[Matt Jones]

Cabs. Rockets. Who wins?

[Caller or Guest]

Rockets.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so you're going to take the Rockets. Who lost? Fred? Ben Fleet, who you got?

[Co-host or Panelist]

I think Shay gets back with the Thunder. You know, join around with the Cavs. They were disappointing, but they were so good in the regular season last year. I say they get. Get it done this year.

[Matt Jones]

Got Thunder winning it.

[Co-host or Panelist]

Yeah, Thunder winning it.

[Matt Jones]

Thunder. Nicks.

[Caller or Guest]

Nicks.

[Matt Jones]

I'll take the Thunder to. To win and repeat. Shannon.

[Co-host or Producer]

I like the Thunder as well. Against the Boston Celtics without Tatum. We don't need Tatum. Get them out of here.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I mean, they look good against the media.

[Co-host or Producer]

Team Drew's got a point. Did you see how bad they beat that?

[Matt Jones]

They did. The media. 57 to 4.

[Co-host or Producer]

Lakers are only going to get to like.

[Matt Jones]

All right, 20 seconds. Brad White. Brian, go.

[Caller or Listener]

Okay. We already have a great defense with him. Now he goes out and gets the best offensive coordinator that we can get, but actually lets him call the plays, actually lets him do his job. He knows the sec. I think that's what's been holding our offense back. So we've had some good offensive coordinators. I don't think Stoops has let them do their job completely.

[Matt Jones]

Actually. Not a bad case if you were going to make one. Gork.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah. Brad White is the same age as John Summerall. They're young guys. And like, he's the last guy said we've got a great defense. So he's a great defensive mind. If he proves that he can be flexible a little bit with the offense and show pace. Hey, Sky's the limit.

[Matt Jones]

Starting sounds like a little bit of a swell here.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I've not heard anyone mention player acquisition. He's currently on this.

[Matt Jones]

It feels like now it starts. Ryan starting to create a movement.

[Co-host or Producer]

Got three people or four people.

[Matt Jones]

As a matter of fact, one person text in and says, will you tell Ryan Lemon Head to stop trying? Will. To Will. Brad White new existence. Ryan Lemon Head.

[Caller or Guest]

That's an old nickname. I just. I think what you want to say is, Ryan, I'm sorry. There are some people out there that.

[Matt Jones]

We got three now. Sally made four. Mark.

[Caller or Listener]

Hey, real quick, Red White's actually really more involved in recruiting than a lot of people think. This coaching malpractice has gone here on here for the last 11.

[Matt Jones]

No, no, this Isn't about anything. We're doing the Brad White case. Robbie. Go ahead this year. Oh, I'm not.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, I said I wasn't for Brad White.

[Matt Jones]

Next. Justin. Justin, go.

[Caller or Listener]

He's got a different name than Mark Stoops. We got to get him out. Get someone else in.

[Matt Jones]

Just. There you go.

[Caller or Guest]

That's brilliant.

[Matt Jones]

He's just a different name. There it is. All right. I appreciate it. So we counted five.

[Caller or Guest]

The point was there's people out there that are still would be okay with Brad White.

[Co-host or Producer]

And we found them all today in 20 minutes. All five of them.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I think Mitch heard that segment.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon's right. We found the five. If you were wondering who they were, we found the 5. Dodd Franklin auto. If you go to Dodd Franklin, get a vehicle, you will get great service, you'll get break. Great price and selection. The fourth quarter and you need options. 28 stores, 6,000 vehicles. They got SUV, sedans, trucks, whatever you want. The price you need. And buy with backup. Every qualifying part backed by five year parts warranty. It's our friends Don Franklin and Friday we are at Don Franklin Nissan on Richmond Road.

[Caller or Guest]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

Don Franklin Nissan on Richmond Road to get ready for Purdue. Are we going to beat Purdue, by the way? I mean, I got. I got three days to get ready, but I think so.

[Co-host or Panelist]

I think so.

[Matt Jones]

Purdue said, by the way, they always, every year want to play one exhibition road game against a good team. They said we'll sacrifice the money to get our team ready. Do you agree with that? Should we do that?

[Caller or Guest]

Why not do it? It's an exhibition game. Go on the road playing.

[Matt Jones]

You'd rather us rather than play in Georgetown at home? You'd want us to go to Georgetown?

[Caller or Guest]

Maybe we go to Purdue next year.

[Matt Jones]

Well, we're not. This is a one year deal. We don't have to go there next year.

[Caller or Guest]

I know. I wish we kind of worked that out. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

It's kind of interesting though. They said they've done it every year, they're going to keep doing it. One road game for Purdue every year. We'll see you later. This has been ksr.
