Welcome to hour two of Kentucky sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

Welcome back Kentucky Sports Radio. 859-280-2287. Text Machine 772-7745254 Got some folks on the line. I'm going to get to you in just a second. One person on the text machine says matt, after watching the last two games I think we can finish nine and three. That's my text today right there. They're going to take two losses away just because of how good we're playing.

[Ryan]

That's pretty optimistic. I can't get there.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I like it. I like I say keep the keep the optimism. Couple things. All right. Let me do some quick scheduling. That's important. First of all, tomorrow morning we are in Louisville at beer knows that's in New Albany.

[Shannon]

Correct.

[Matt Jones]

Charlestown Road. Is that right?

[Shannon]

Shannon will have to confirm that.

[Matt Jones]

What's the road number? I don't have address.

We'll get it from Billy. He's the gm. He's the one supposed to be keeping up with all this stuff.

Yeah, I there's an address on the little graphic.

[Ryan]

I think it's like Charlestown crossing.

[Matt Jones]

Charlestown Crossing. Yes. 33,002 Charlestown Crossing. This are usually our UK Louisville show. Usually it's on Friday. This time it's on Tuesday. Usually it's like so packed if you don't get there like 8:30 you can't get it probably won't be like that this time because it's on a Tuesday so you can get in get there. Great pizza. It's like that. This literally is the anniversary of our first ever remote where Ryan was scared and turned his back to the audience now we're here again. Great chance to come see us. Got some surprises coming to. That's tomorrow. Tomorrow night for the Louisville game. If you want to watch the game at KS Bar, we're giving away those Makers Mark glasses.

[Shannon]

They're really cool. Really cool.

[Matt Jones]

If you order an AL8 slushie, you get free the KS Bar Maker's Mark glass with the wax on the bottom of it.

[Ryan]

It's the one time we let you leave with the glass.

[Matt Jones]

You get to leave with the glass during the Louisville game. That's pretty good. I think it starts. They start doing that at five o'.

[Washable Sofas Announcer]

Clock.

[Matt Jones]

So you can come watch the Louisville game and get the glass. That's. I want them myself, but we have enough just for tomorrow night. So plan on coming and watching the game. I host trivia on Wednesday. Keep that in mind. And then Thursday they're doing karaoke.

[Shannon]

First time ever at KS Bar.

[Matt Jones]

You're going to go sing, aren't you? Go sing. Sylvia.

[Shannon]

People want us you to keep singing. Sylvia. You were singing it during the commercial break before we came back.

[Matt Jones]

I like it, but I don't think everybody was wanting it. But. But you could. So that's. That's the schedule of the week. All right. I want to do a couple quick things and then I'll go back to uk. I want to give a shout out to. And somebody can remind me the name of the church. There's a church in Somerset that I want. It's called Heritage.

[Ryan]

I already know what you're going to do.

[Matt Jones]

Heritage Hill something. But. So this woman on TikTok. Shannon, have you seen this?

[Shannon]

I don't think so.

[Matt Jones]

Decided to call churches and ask them. She said, I am out of baby formula. You all have an outreach at your church that I see on your website. Can you help me get baby formula?

[Ryan]

Heritage Hope Church of God in Somerset.

[Matt Jones]

She calls 26 churches around the country. Only three tell her they'll help her. One is a church. Like, I don't know where the other two are, but one is this church called Heritage. What?

[Ryan]

Heritage Hope Church of God in Somerset.

[Matt Jones]

Heritage Hope. The Church of God in Somerset. And the call. She records all the calls. Her point was to kind of. I think she was probably trying to trap some of these churches who act like they care about the community to show they aren't. But she calls the Heritage Hope Church of God. And this man, he's so kind.

[Ryan]

It's like the sweetest.

[Matt Jones]

It's like the sweetest old man. He was like, honey, I'm Sorry to hear that. What kind of flavor could I get you for the baby Formula? Sweetest thing in the world. She posts the video on TikTok. The church takes in $100,000 in donations in, like, two days.

[Shannon]

Amazing.

[Matt Jones]

This little country church in Somerset, I saw somebody recorded his sermon yesterday morning. And the man. It's one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. This old man who looks like and sounds like the mountain churches I used to go to in Sneadville, Tennessee, with my mom. Yeah. He's sitting there. He's old, like, he's not even standing up. He's sitting, probably because I don't know if he can stand up. And he's talking about how he just did it because he thought this woman needed formula and now all this money had come in and how he couldn't believe it. And, like, the blessed, like, it's one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. It really is. And of all these places around the country that had said no, this little church in Somerset said yes and ended up with the blessing. He said, they bring in $20,000 a month in, like, offerings, and they got a hundred thousand dollars in two days.

[Shannon]

Wow. That's power of God, man.

[Matt Jones]

But isn't that also, like, that's what religion is supposed to be?

[Shannon]

Amen.

[Matt Jones]

And a lot of people are, like, criticizing the churches that didn't. And I get it, but I'm actually more interested in the one that did and seeing that as a positive. So I just wanted to give that church a shout. Out in Somerset. Looks like a tiny church. Weren't that many people there, but I just thought it was neat. You saw?

[Ryan]

Yeah, I got a little lump in my throat. Me too. First he says, we'll get it figured out. And he could have ended it there, but he's like, now I'm going to get a pen and paper and write this down. And he says, I'm a great grandpa. I'm not good with phones, so give me details in case I have to do it myself. What's the brand? What's the flavor? How much do you need? And he's writing it down. Then after that, he says, now, when she says, this is. I don't really need it. I'm just seeing what you would say.

[Caller]

He.

[Ryan]

He goes on this rant about how hard it is people in his church need him, but everybody's afraid to speak up and ask for it. So he's like, I actually appreciate when someone says, help me because I want to help, but A lot of times people keep that inside and you don't know they need it.

[Matt Jones]

But he just.

[Ryan]

He gives a sermon on the TikTok.

[Matt Jones]

Call and a lot of the others and a lot of the other churches were just like. We thought it was a scam. Well, I mean, if you got scammed for one bottle of baby formula, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, would it?

[Shannon]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

But anyway, just a big shout out to that place. That was. That was really neat. Secondly, Shannon, this for you. The Rock and Roll hall of Fame is this week.

Yep.

All right, The. The inductions. Let's. I'm gonna quickly go over who. Who got in, because I don't think we did this when they got in, but. But I was a little surprised. Okay, so here's who got in. Outkast, Soundgarden, Joe Bad Company, the White Stripes, Salt and Pepper, Warren Z. Von and Sidney Lauper. Now, couple things. First of all, I couldn't believe the White Stripes doesn't feel like they're that old that they could. Like it was already time to put them in. Right?

Yeah. Late 90s, early 2000s band.

Not that long ago, I guess, but maybe it is five years.

I don't know what the requirements.

[Shannon]

But yeah, feel the same about Outcasts. And then warn my. Weren't we just playing them just last week?

[Matt Jones]

So they showed all the introductions. For me personally, one thing's to. I'm a big Warren Z. Von guy, right?

[Shannon]

Of course.

[Matt Jones]

Because David Letterman inducted him. I mean, you talk about David Letterman's my favorite person. Like maybe my favorite person ever in entertainment. He inducts him. And of course, that song is our theme. Right. And his inner. His introduction was great. It was neat. Some people skipped it, though. This is what I want to talk about. The lead singer of Bad Company skips it. The woman from White Stripes, Meg White, skips it. Both said they didn't want to be part of it. How do you not want to be part of it? How do you not want to be part of being inducted in rock and roll? Whole thing like, how do you not.

[Shannon]

Show up unless you've got a health issue? You show up for something like that.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. But that's not the one that's the most crazy to me. Yeah, Chubby Checker. Chubby Checker refuses to come.

[Shannon]

Why?

[Matt Jones]

Now, first of all, no offense to Chubby Checkers, Shannon.

Yeah.

But has Chubby Checker ever done anything but the Twist?

Not that I'm aware of.

All of his songs are like the twist. Twisting again. Here we twist.

[Ryan]

Twist.

[Matt Jones]

Watch me twist. I'm over here twisting. Hey, everybody still twist it. Like, that's too fast to twist.

[Caller]

He has them all.

[Matt Jones]

All he does is twist. And he refused to come. And when asked why, he said, I would rather be on the road performing for the fans than perform at the Rock and Roll Hall.

[Jacob Goldstein]

Effect.

[Matt Jones]

Now, I would argue you probably would get more fans at the Rock and Roll because it's on television.

[Ryan]

Your fans would probably like to see that.

[Matt Jones]

Who's showing up to see Chubby Checker?

Well, there's your question. So I was having this conversation yesterday with the turkey Hunter. He was at my house watching football, and we were like, wonder where Chubby Checker performed yesterday.

[Shannon]

It was so important.

[Matt Jones]

It was so important he skipped the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. The answer was. Looks to me to be nowhere.

[Shannon]

He didn't even have a show.

[Matt Jones]

Looking online, it looks to me he's performed once in 2025, and it was in La Plaine, Illinois. Don't know where that is.

[Shannon]

Never heard of it.

[Matt Jones]

Never heard of it.

[Ryan]

It's got to be a casino.

[Matt Jones]

So not only did he refuse, he lied and said he was going to perform a concert, and he wasn't. So my question for you is, what could Chubby Checker have been doing that was so important that he would skip the Rock and Roll hall of fame? Man's 85 years old.

[Shannon]

Wow.

[Matt Jones]

This might be the last time he's in the public consciousness.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Why Shannon not show up and just twist? I mean, just like, one more time. Just twist.

Some would argue he doesn't even belong there to begin with. He only had one song, so I.

Would think, you know, Wright said, Fred making it for I'm Too Sexy.

You have one hit, and all of a sudden now you act like you're above the Ro and Roll hall of Fame.

How could you not come? Twist.

[Ryan]

I went to his website to see his next tour date, and there's just something asking if you want him at your corporate or special events. Like they asked you to come to their special event. They just called you, and you didn't go at 85.

[Matt Jones]

Can you even twist? I would argue.

Well, there's a video of him at the La Plain, Illinois in July, and he's twisting now he's got on a Shannon, a bad hairpiece.

Twist that hairpiece off.

The hairpiece is not. He's not twisting, which twisted, unfortunately. But, like, he clearly can still twist. Don't you think that room would have gone crazy if this old man came out and just twisted.

[Shannon]

Maybe the biggest pop of the night.

[Matt Jones]

And if he can't sing, get somebody else to sing it. And you just twist.

[Shannon]

Like Drew said his fan, his fans would want to see him give him his flowers one last time.

[Matt Jones]

I just don't understand how Chubby Checker skips.

[Shannon]

I don't either.

[Matt Jones]

Of all the people on that list, he's the least like, wouldn't you agree? He's the least star.

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

He's the guy that should have RSVP first. Like he's there three hours before the doors open. Because he's so excited to be a part of it.

[Matt Jones]

He brings food for everyone.

[Ryan]

He has his own potluck back there for everybody. He's just excited to be included.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, I can understand if like, I don't know. Well, actually, all these people should have attended because, I mean, why should attend the hall? What is Cindy Lauper, Sound Garden? Joe Cocker. I mean, Joe Cocker dead.

[Shannon]

Don't know.

[Matt Jones]

Warren Zvon's dead.

[Shannon]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Salt and pepper. I'm sure there's. They. I'm sure they came.

[Shannon]

I'm sure they were there. When's the last time anybody talks?

[Matt Jones]

For some reason, it really offends me that Chubby Checker didn't come unless there's a Because. Especially that he put out a public statement that I have another concert and he didn't have one.

[Shannon]

Yeah, it's private show.

[Ryan]

It's corporate event.

[Matt Jones]

Joe Twist. Joe Cocker's dead. So that's why he wasn't there.

Okay, so I excuse Warren Zvon excused absence. I excuse Joe Cocker. Yeah. But I don't understand how the lead singer bad company now. Maybe he's sick. Okay, so if that's the case, I understand. But Chubby Checker said I'm not sick.

[Ryan]

I can twist.

[Matt Jones]

I'm just not twisting for you. Anyway, it annoyed me. I'm not going to lie to you. Let's go to Jim. Go ahead, Jim.

[Caller]

Yes, go ahead. First time, long time.

[Matt Jones]

Who?

[Caller]

First time, long time. I sort of take the Florida game as revenge. First time I went to the Florida home game, it was against Florida. And that was the game. And we got a 21 point lead and lost in the fourth quarter.

[Matt Jones]

So did you go to this?

[Caller]

No, I'm not able to go unless I'm going to handicap.

[Matt Jones]

I understand. So it had to feel good since you went to the one that we blew the lead that we got this victory.

[Caller]

Yeah. There was two old man sitting there as we left and said we had a Good coach at one time his name was Bear. Very bright, wasn't it?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Nice to hear from you, Jim.

[Caller]

Hang on just a second. Good, good old basketball player for Kentucky. Passed away last week. Who's the neighbors? George Christ. He was cutting Nash's roommate best friend back.

[Matt Jones]

His name was what? George Christ.

[Caller]

Christvorge Critz or is it. He's a. He's from Dara county. Moved down. He led his high school team in his corn Blue Brook or something like that from Ohio. But he, he was a. He was a great guy.

[Matt Jones]

All right, well I appreciate. Thank you for letting us know.

[Caller]

Thank you.

[Matt Jones]

Did you.

[Shannon]

I think, I think you pronounce his name Crits. He's like yeah, big Adair county, you know, coach, administrator for years and years after his basketball career was over. But yeah, I think he guy was right. He think he was Cotton Ash's roommate.

[Matt Jones]

I did not know that. Well, rest in peace to George Kritz and his and prayers to his family. Tell me about Stockton Morgan Stockton Mortgage.

[Shannon]

You know the interest rates have kind of gone down a little bit. So a lot of those buyers who've been on the fence kind of making the jump trying to get a house get it locked up before Christmas. So if you want to do it, you got to move fast. Rates are still maybe they think may drop even a little bit more. So you know there hasn't been a lot of houses out there and the houses that are out there have kind of the prices still keep going up. So it's kind of been a rough situation for buyers. But now the time starting to switch a little bit. So Dr. Mortgage can hold your hand, get you to the closing table, help you every step of the way. So give them a call. Go on their website. Stockton.com NMLS 8259 equal housing lender.

[Matt Jones]

One person writes. Does the Rock and Roll hall of Fame pay anything? Maybe Chuck Chubby couldn't afford the cost of trip. They, they said they off they fly everyone out.

[Shannon]

They do.

[Matt Jones]

They would put them up. I'm not trying to attack. People are saying we're attack. I'm not. I just feel like I'm attacking somebody.

The old man.

Yeah, just come out hall of Fame. Come on and twist again like we did last summer.

[Shannon]

The place would have gone nuts if he'd have walked out there. 85 years old.

[Ryan]

Slow down.

[Matt Jones]

First of all they would not have gone nuts.

[Shannon]

Yes they would have.

[Matt Jones]

Old man who would have gone nuts. His audience is dead.

[Shannon]

85 years old. He goes out there and tries to twist dead.

[Matt Jones]

Except for him.

You would have twisted.

There's no doubt you would have twisted.

[Shannon]

You would have got up and twisted. Everybody wants to twist.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon does not believe everybody would go crazy if they played this.

[Shannon]

Oh, they would go nuts.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so the guy in bad company that didn't come has health issues.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Totally fine.

[Shannon]

Okay with that.

[Matt Jones]

Meg White apparently has severe social anxiety and has only been out in public once in 10 years. Sorry to hear that. Understand that, right? Been nice if she could have come. That's odd for somebody who had that job for so long, but fair enough. Yeah, Chubby Checker apparently has been boycotting the Rock and Roll hall of fame since 2002 because he believes he should have been in the inaugural class.

Slow down, slow down, buddy. You should be happy anybody invited him.

Come on. Wasn't the inaugural class like the Beatles.

[Shannon]

Elvis, Rolling Stones, maybe?

[Ryan]

I'm looking it up now.

[Matt Jones]

And Chubby Checkers like that should be.

[Shannon]

I think Chuck Berry, James Brown about.

[Matt Jones]

An inflated sense of self.

And so he's been boycotting it, Shannon, since then because he thinks he should have been in.

They should have just not even put him in from the hall of Fame. And you say that you're not even going in?

Yes. Who was the inaugural class? Give me some names. I would know. Well, all of them.

[Ryan]

Chuck Berry, James Brown, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Eddie Cochran, Bo Diddley, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, B.B. king. Let me keep going. Smokey Robinson.

[Matt Jones]

So he thought he should have been in that group.

[Shannon]

I do have a great fun fact about Chubby Checker.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, he.

[Shannon]

His daughter is named Misty Bass who played in the wnba, but she's married to Shane Boyd. Shane Boyd is Chubby Checkers son in law?

[Matt Jones]

No way. Yes.

[Shannon]

Shane Boyd married. Miss. They're still married.

[Matt Jones]

Former Kentucky football player Shane Boyd.

[Shannon]

His father in law is Chubby Checker? Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Are you kidding me?

[Ryan]

Ryan told me.

[Matt Jones]

You could have told us this Shannon before we did went on an anti Chubby Checker rant. Yeah, you could have told me that. Like one of our Great quarterbacks of all time played.

[Shannon]

I didn't know. Thanks to the text machine, we got it.

[Matt Jones]

I feel like now we could get chubby on the show. We got a connection, actually.

That would probably be a great interview. Just let him air all his complaints on the air.

[Shannon]

Chubby Checkers.

[Ryan]

Shane Boyd Ryan said during the break, I have a good update. I didn't think it would be anything like that.

[Matt Jones]

Wow. By the way, the individual that passed, that's his last name. Christ is how you say it. So that's why that gets in. Like the guy said, Christ. It's Christ. There you go. Let's go to. Where are we. Let's go to Lex. Go ahead, Lex.

[Caller]

Hey, guys, I don't know what the plans for the entertainment district are, but I think Drew will second me in saying that there needs to be an El Mariachi in. In walking distance to Kroger Field because those pregame nachos just hit different. Secondly, I'm 35. I'm not young enough. Do what?

[Ryan]

The Texas nachos had them too.

[Caller]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. So I'm 35. I'm not young enough to be in the college crowd that wants to be scone, but I'm also not old enough to be, like, totally settled. Here's. Here's my question. If we didn't have the buyout, which we do, and I think we should keep him because of it, if we didn't have the buyout, are you okay with being okay or so.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Where do we. Where do we want to. Do we want to try to be the next iu. Do we want to try to be the next Vandy, or are we okay with being okay?

[Matt Jones]

Completely fair question. My. My. Over the. My answer's changed in the last five years. My answer five years ago would have been, I'm okay with being okay now. I think it's plausible to make a move. Here's where I am today. Now, I might be different in two games if we go get blown out the next. The last two games. That's different. Where I am today is. I think it would be better for the program to have a new something. Okay. I do. However, I also don't think you can fire him with a $37 million buyout if he goes to a ball game. So that's why. That's exactly where I am. I appreciate the call. I mean, it's one of those. Would it be better? It'd be sort of like, let's say Cal had beaten Oakland, got into the Sweet 16, lost by 12 that year, that would have been one of those. That would have been like, well, we got to bring him back. But it would be kind of nice to have somebody else. That's kind of where I am now. If we finish 7 and 5 and we have momentum and cutters back, and then all of a sudden, maybe it's not like that, you know, and that's.

[Shannon]

Not crazy to even mention that that's still possible. I think the football program, you know, as old timers, we remember how bad it was for a long, long time. So for us to get to 5 and 7 and 6 and 6 is still, to me, a big accomplishment. Can they ever get to where Indiana and Vandy is now?

[Matt Jones]

Why can't they now?

[Caller]

I.

[Jacob Goldstein]

You.

[Matt Jones]

I would have said, no, they can't. But now they clearly can't because it can be done. Indiana, again, Big Ten's a little different, although I think Indiana is legit. If Andy can do it, there's no reason we can't do it, right?

[Ryan]

Oh, definitely.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, the reason Andy can do it, we can.

[Ryan]

Yeah, they're the SEC example, but the top 25 this year in the playoff picture has been full of teams that we thought never would have gotten in that conversation.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And I think a reset will be good for both parties, but we cannot ask the man to get us back.

[Matt Jones]

To a bowl game.

[Ryan]

And if he gets you back to a bowl game, like, well, all right, we're firing you. When you got to find 38 million, if he goes bowling, there's just nothing you can do about it. There's nothing Mitch Barnhart would do about it.

[Matt Jones]

I think you're exactly right about that. Let's go to Roddy. What's up, Roddy?

[Caller]

Hey, boys. First time, long time.

[Matt Jones]

Who are.

[Caller]

So. I'm a. I'm a senior here at uk and I just wanted to tell y' all a comment one of my out of state friends made.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Caller]

I was so happy after the game. I could not stop smiling after what I grew up watching. And my buddy said, what are you so happy about? We. We kind of own Florida. So I think we should give stoops credit for the fact that people think we own Florida.

[Matt Jones]

A lot of truth, though, that we do own Florida. I mean, we've won four. The last five.

[Shannon]

Yes. For free.

[Matt Jones]

Straight home. I mean, the idea that you would have stoops has. I appreciate the call. Owned Florida.

[Shannon]

He has.

[Matt Jones]

Which is an amazing thing. I mean, it's. It's a testament in some part to Florida, but it's also A testament to Soups. I mean, he owns it.

[Ryan]

Before he snapped that streak in 2018, there's no scenario where I would have believed me if you told me that they were going to win three games against the Florida Gators in Lexington in a row. I wouldn't have believed that is possible. And now he's done it. The four out of five. He's really had their number. Even in the dips, the SEC streaks. He's always gotten Florida since. He's not always, but, you know, had their number.

[Matt Jones]

We beat him. We were close every year. Every game came down to the end.

[Ryan]

We had one at home, should have won. Holding call. You got the one. I mean, he's been in that fight all but maybe like the Drew Barker team got killed that time.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

Did you catch what that guy said? He goes. He was smiling because of what he grew up with.

[Matt Jones]

He was grow.

[Shannon]

He was a youth when they won 10 games twice.

[Matt Jones]

He was a youth.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

That's like the oldest thing you've ever said. He was a youth.

[Shannon]

He was a youngster. And they win 10 games and he's crying.

[Matt Jones]

He was a whipper snapper. 859-280-2287. I can't believe this is Shane Boyd's father in law. We'll be right back. Dude.

[Shannon]

Place would go nuts.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon TJ Smith, personal injury attorney.

[Shannon]

Call tj he'll make him pay.

[Matt Jones]

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

So I was most excited though, Shannon, that Warren Zvon made it great to see David Letterman there. They played Lawyers, Guns and Money was a song the Killers played, was all right. They had some of his original band that had me listening to Warren Zvon all weekend. I don't know how many people out there except me and David Letterman are just huge Warren Zvon fans. There can't be a lot, but it was nice. We actually had a caller to the Pollen Calling show, the post game show, say, hey, I'm listening to you and watching Warren Z. Von on the tried. He did, yes. But this is one of his. I. It got me down a rabbit hole yesterday of reading the lyrics of his songs. They're bizarre. Like this one. The lyrics of this song are dark. Even though. Turn it up. Listen to how happy it sounds. Yeah, but we're not gonna. I'm not even gonna. Don't even read the lyrics. But it just sounds like a fun song, right, Shannon?

Oh, yeah. And then you read the lyrics.

And then you read the lyrics. Werewolves of London is the Same way, like, everybody knows Werewolves of London, but go listen to lyrics. Like, I think that's the whole point of his. His thing is, like, you can just hide these lyrics. If you just have a fun song.

[Shannon]

And call it Excitable Boy. You think it's a happy song?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. It's about this dude who. This boy who does horrible things, but everybody just excuses it by saying, well, he's an excitable boy. So anyway, I don't.

[Shannon]

I don't want to know that.

[Matt Jones]

Don't. But. But I do like.

And built a cage with her bones.

Exactly. Like, that's what.

Turn it off.

Turn up now. You know, that's the lyrics now turn it up.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

It just sounds much happier than the lyrics anyway. 859280. And you say Jim Carrey inducted somebody?

Soundgarden. Yeah. I didn't know. Apparently, Jim Carrey was a big fan of the band back in the 90s. And when he was a special guest host on Saturday Night Live, he insisted that Soundgarden be the musical guest.

What is the last movie Jim Carrey?

God, I don't even know, man. It's.

I mean, Jim Carrey was a massive star that it seems like, has just decided, I will not be in the spotlight anymore.

[Ryan]

He does those Sonic movies.

[Shannon]

Yeah, Sonic was his last.

[Matt Jones]

Sonic the Hedgehog.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

He's done Sonic and Sonic 2. They've got two of them now.

[Ryan]

No, they've got more than two. Maybe four on the way.

[Matt Jones]

My God. James Marsden does, though.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I mean, I guess Jim just likes making a boatload of money off doing the Sonic franchise because, I mean, he's.

[Matt Jones]

In some great movies. I mean, Truman show is a great movie. I saw they were going to remake that. No, why would you remake that?

[Shannon]

True.

[Matt Jones]

It's perfect. Why would you do that again?

[Ryan]

Stop remaking movies.

[Matt Jones]

Especially like that one.

[Ryan]

Jim Carrey, Dumb and Dumber was. It almost ruined the original for me.

[Matt Jones]

Yes, but I mean, they were going to remake it without him. It was just gonna be the same movie again with somebody else. Why would you do that? That movie was perfect. Man on the Moon.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Great.

[Caller]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

And then, of course, Ace Ventura and the Mask and all that. Dumb and Dumber.

Eternal Sunshine.

Eternal Sunshine, Yeah. That's one of my fate. You love that movie too, right?

My all time favorite movie.

That's a top 20 movie for me. It's Shannon's number one.

Yep.

And then he just doesn't do anything anymore.

[Shannon]

We disappeared. Looks like he was a recluse for a long time. Wasn't he?

[Matt Jones]

That's one of the great documentaries on tv, is on Netflix. The documentary about him making man on the Moon. Have you seen that?

[Shannon]

Yeah, I did.

[Matt Jones]

I saw that actor down to the.

I mean, that is one of them. If you. What. I don't remember what it's called. Maybe it's called Me and Andy or something like that.

I think it is. Yeah, I've seen it.

You need to watch. That's one of the great documentaries I've ever seen.

[Shannon]

That scene where Andy Kaufman's family comes to talk to him and they start crying because they won't get out of.

[Matt Jones]

Character and they think they're talking to Andy Kaufman.

[Shannon]

Yep, Yep.

[Matt Jones]

Jerry Lawler's in that documentary a lot.

Jim and Andy is what it's called the Great Beyond Andy.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, it's great. All right.

[Ryan]

I have one thing on the Sonic franchise. I found an interview. He says he does Sonic because I need the money, frankly.

[Matt Jones]

For what?

[Jacob Goldstein]

I don't know.

[Ryan]

But that's why he came back to do Sonic movies.

[Matt Jones]

Wow. Po. Go ahead, Po.

[Caller]

Hey, guys. God bless y' all and God bless our troops.

[Matt Jones]

God bless you.

[Caller]

Thank you. I want to say I saw chubby checker about 25 years ago at Rhythm and Roots in Bristol. Rhythm and Rhythm and Roots.

[Matt Jones]

Rhythm and Roots. Okay.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Apparently he plays the Kentucky State Fair about once every five years, so I'm surprised Shannon has it.

I've never come across him.

[Caller]

Yeah, Well, I wanted to say I laugh about Ryan. He. He got that dude off there on YouTube. And now Tom Hart better be looking behind his shoulder.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Well, you. It's nice to talk with you, sir. Appreciate you. Wait a minute. Go ahead. Go ahead, Go ahead.

[Caller]

I think it will be awesome if we do get. I think we can beat Louisville. I don't know about Vandy. We can beat Vandy, but I don't know if we will. But we can beat Louisville and it will be awesome if we made the Liberty bowl and face too lame and Summer. I just had a twist off to Sue's next.

[Matt Jones]

I'll take that. I'll take that. Which is more likely now, when the basketball game Tuesday or when the football game in two weeks against Lowell?

[Ryan]

Oh, it's a tough one. I'm going to say basketball. Even though I oddly feel good about both. Now, I know that part of that is just rooted in my hatred for Louisville, but the way the defense is played and then seeing their complaints about their own quarterback over the weekend give me some optimism there. And then, as Ryan noted, to start the show. The Kentucky basketball team that played Friday night, they're going to give about anybody troubles wherever the game is and they don't like that.

[Matt Jones]

They don't like their quarterback at Louisville. What do you think? Which one's more likely?

[Shannon]

I'm going to go with Drew. I'm going to say basketball because I'm just riding on that high on Friday. Nobody's beating that team we saw in the first half Friday night. Nobody. That team was the best team in the country.

[Matt Jones]

I feel very good if this game was when it normally would be that we would win. I just. I don't know if we're going to win immediately. First time. I wish they played in an environment other than Rupp arena before we went there.

[Shannon]

This has to be the earliest true road game we've had in forever.

[Matt Jones]

I would think that's probably true. But I also think leave aside having to listen to them talk trash. I think there's like, it's kind of a no lose situation for Kentucky. If it was anyone but Louisville, because it's Louisville. You don't want to lose.

[Shannon]

Yeah, right.

[Matt Jones]

But you know, you don't win a lot of true road games against big teams right off the bat.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Do you? I mean, already in the very few big time games on, on home floors, the home teams won all of them. Between two really good teams. You know, North Carolina beat Kansas, Michigan State beat Arkansas. There'll be more of them.

[Ryan]

But I'm pretty excited to see how many Kentucky fans get in. Remember, we bought up the upper level of what was available there about a month ago. I mean, Louisville will still have the dominant crowd. They're not checked out like they were two years ago when Kentucky took over, but I think there will be some. A good shade of blue in there taking over as much as they can.

[Matt Jones]

Kentucky Joe, go ahead.

[Caller]

Yes. Man. It's a good show today. I believe Kentucky can win, I mean, both of the grudge matches against Louisville. I hope first in football. And the thing is, I wrote those songs because I thought. I thought this team would be special. This team is special.

[Matt Jones]

Now what Were you a Chubby Checker fan?

[Caller]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, I went out there. Yes, yes, yes. Matt. I went out there. I went out there to the. It was a derby. No, no, it was during the Stucky oak about probably 20 years ago. And I got out there and did the twist.

[Matt Jones]

You did the twist at the Kentucky Oaks? In what context?

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

Why?

[Matt Jones]

In what context?

[Caller]

No, no, no. He was doing. He was doing the twist. He did for about Four or five minutes.

[Matt Jones]

You're telling me that Chubby Checker performed at the Kentucky Oaks?

[Caller]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know if I believe that.

[Caller]

Probably 15, probably 20 years ago, I guess.

[Matt Jones]

Like when? Like right before the race started, he just went out in the middle of the track and did the twist?

[Caller]

No, no, no. It was down, and it was actually in the infield. You know, it's still all the construction now.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. Yeah.

[Caller]

I'm gonna tell you, he kind of looked pretty good. Really, Matt?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. All right. Well, I appreciate the call.

[Ryan]

2005. Guess who was the grand marshal of the Derby parade?

[Matt Jones]

No. He was.

[Shannon]

Was he?

[Matt Jones]

Chubby Checker was the grand marshal of the Derby parade. So I. So Joe's right. He probably did do the show.

[Ryan]

He did the Thursday parade, then he was at the Oaks race on Friday, then the Derby on Saturday.

[Matt Jones]

They say in 2002, Chubby Checkers set up a booth outside the hall of Fame ceremony and twisted to protest not being in the hall of Fame.

[Caller]

How long did he twist?

[Ryan]

I'm now a fan. I'm going to listen to Chubby Checker on the way home.

[Matt Jones]

Wait a minute. Can you imagine? You go to the ceremony and just standing out. Checker twisted. He's twisted. I wouldn't go in.

[Ryan]

Stay out there with him.

[Matt Jones]

What a protest. One year after 9, 11. Shannon. Chubby Checkers standing up for what he believes it.

Does every song of his have twist in the title?

Well, let me read you a couple titles here. Somebody just sent me his. Here we go. The Twist.

Yeah.

For twisters only. Let's twist again. For teen twisters only. Calm down, Chubby. Don't knock the twist. Twisting around the world. Chubby Checker in person. Twisting in Texas.

[Ryan]

Wow, he knows his money maker.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, he's milking the cow.

[Ryan]

Good businessman.

[Matt Jones]

You know, some people try to, like, expand their repertoire. Not Chubby.

No.

[Ryan]

Here's one. Let's Twist again is the name of the song.

[Shannon]

Oh, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Twisted in Texas. He should have done that for every state.

[Ryan]

Well, let's.

Though there's also one called the Peppermint Twist.

Well, that's for Christmas, right?

Right? Yeah, he's got one for every occasion.

Oh man, you know, what are you going to do? What Verse rides Matt. In the early 90s in Lexington, Chubby Checker came. He had a contest on stage for who could shake it the best. And I won.

[Ryan]

You won what?

[Matt Jones]

What'd you win?

A chubby checker.

[Shannon]

Well played.

[Matt Jones]

859-280-2287 one person writes. Matt, you're a fair weather friend of Mark Stoop. Sure, we've had a rough, rough patch, but you've been willing to drive the bandwagon for a change. From the very start of the year. You should have renamed your show to the Fire Mark Stoop Show. Maybe you're the one who's had a good run and now the KSR show needs a change. I highly doubt you'll respond to this. Well, I mean the second part would be your opinion, but the first part was my opinion, which is I, you know, I do like Mark Stoops. I've said many times, I don't know that I would say we were, our friends were like very good acquaintances. But I do like him. But that does not. You do not make decisions on what should be the future of a public institution. Sport, it's program by who is your friend. You know, that's what gets people the wrong. If you look at government or you look at sports or you look at anything. If you just say, well, this is my friend and then we're going to do it, then you end up making bad decisions. Mark Stoops, if you only went through the first half of the season would not have deserved to remain the coach at Kentucky. Now we're kind of a halfway through the second half of the season and things look different and let's see how it finishes. But you know, this is not, this is not the goal of friends. I've told, I've told you I've had two friends as I did this, Dwayne Peavey and Vince Merrow. And Dwayne was great. Vince had the issue when he left and it makes it hard. Makes it hard when you're friends with people. And I don't think I'll do it again for that reason because it does make it hard.

[Shannon]

I don't think that calls being the texters being fair at all. I mean not one time we demanding Stoops be fired. We just said if they lose out or only win four games it's a no brainer decision. We were not leading the charge to get him fired immediately.

[Matt Jones]

And what do you, I mean would you say Mitch Barnhart is probably friends with Mark Stoops? Would you write Mitch Barnhart and say you're a fair weather friend if you decide to make a change? Like that's a terror. You know, part of the problem we have with Cal is he kept his friends in place when they weren't serving him well. Yeah, right. Friendship is a private thing when it comes to business or public thing. You have to judge performance and all of this.

[Ryan]

I hate when people are like motive. No, it's wins and losses. They lost 11 straight home games. That's frustrating. You want to change when you lose a little.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

When he goes into the Florida game, you have to win that or that streak continues another season. He's an underdog on his home field. You, it's hard to be optimistic when you're an underdog. He won it by a lot. It's now the Monday after and we're saying good job. It's all about the wins and losses.

[Matt Jones]

And I mean I've now gone through this with Tubby Smith, Billy Gillespie, Joker Phillips and Rich Brooks and Mark Stoops, which is anytime you get to this turmoil and John Cal, Peri, where you're not sure whether or not you want to coach or not, the natural reaction is when people disagree with you about the opinion. You must be biased. They can't just be the case that I disagree with you. I mean obviously we had that with Cal. It happens again. Like, you know what, sometimes in life texter people are going to disagree with you. And it doesn't make them stupid, it makes them disagree with you. And on this, I was not ready to say fire Mark Stoops, but remember two weeks ago I was getting hateful messages of people going, how could you not call for him to be fired?

[Shannon]

Yes. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You know, so everybody has, I can just give my opinion of what it is and you should do the same. David. Go ahead, David.

[Caller]

Hey, Matt. How are you guys doing?

[Matt Jones]

Doing good. What's up?

[Caller]

Good. Number one, most importantly, free Chubby Checker. I mean, too much anti Chubby Checker talk going on. Secondly, in the first half, we in this, in the first half, Cutter Bowley looked really comfortable and you can tell by his body language he felt much more like in control of the office. Now could he have done that three games ago? Probably not. However, he's kind of growing into kind of what, you know, whatever it is like a being in charge of the offense. Of course, Stoops, bless his heart, it's like he must play like Iowa all the time. But sometimes if you got somebody really good, you got to go with it.

[Matt Jones]

You got to go. And I think Stoops, his view and I appreciate the call is he doesn't want to get blown out in some of these games. He thinks like against a Georgia the best chance is to play like that. But it did look drew like Cutter Bowley likes being up tempo more than not.

[Ryan]

Yeah, and Bowley since what was that first game went to Eastern Michigan, whatever that was, you know, he still needed time to start playing well. But just from looking comfortable, he looks so much more comfortable than our seventh year quarterback. And just each game he's getting more and more comfortable. I know it's not much, but when he picks up a first down, hops up and throws that arm forward or he's headbutting his teammates, that's just a guy that's locked into the game as opposed to what we're seeing early in the year looking the sideline confusion. I mean it looks like he's really feeling and being a part of the rhythm.

[Matt Jones]

Steve, go ahead.

[Caller]

Hey guys, what's up? I think if we're not going to make a complete coaching change this year, you got to get rid of Brad White and that guys, you know, the last two games look really good, but you can count on him laying at least three to four eggs every year.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, I mean the only game this year where I think the defense has look really bad was Tennessee.

[Caller]

I there's a couple others in there where just nobody looked like they knew what they were doing. And I just hope the next day is not against, is, is not against Tennessee Tech.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I, I, well, I appreciate the call. I mean, obviously I hope it's not against Tennessee Tech either. But you know, I mean, he, he had us to where we were in the game against Georgia and Ole Miss. We had a shot in the game against Texas. Tennessee is really the only bad one.

[Shannon]

For the SEC games. Yeah, Tennessee is really the, well, South Carolina did they, we had trouble with South Carolina.

[Matt Jones]

Have a little trouble with South Carolina.

[Shannon]

So South Carolina and Tennessee, the other games, I think Brad White's defense has been to steal a line from Mark Pope. Elite, Elite, Elite. In the last three of the last four games.

[Matt Jones]

Is that in the line for Mark Pope?

[Shannon]

No, he uses, you know, he says it all the time. Like Jasper Johnson is elite, elite, elite.

[Matt Jones]

Does he say that? Okay, Mario's gonna give you, he's gonna say yes.

[Shannon]

Malachi Moreno, Elite, elite, Elite.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I'll tell you what else is elite Court Physical therapy. If you are in pain, there's no reason to be it. You know, we got a month and a half left. You may have already used your medical deductible. You can go to court for you for free.
