Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Dramatic Crime Story in Providence

• Matt recounts the remarkable story of a homeless man (John) who played a crucial role in identifying the perpetrator of the Brown University shooting.
  • Homeless man recognized the suspect from a police-released photo, followed him, collected evidence like license plates, and eventually went to the police after Reddit users persuaded him.
  • The tip leads police to the suspect, who then takes his own life.
  • Twist: The homeless man had also been squatting in the building where the crime occurred and originally thought the suspect merely looked suspicious.
  • Reward: The man is to receive $50,000 for his help.
• Quotes:
  • “He basically, like, followed the guy. Then the guy saw him following him...the homeless man runs, gets to the police, describes his clothing, takes his license plate, which allows the police to find out who he is.” – Matt Jones (05:24)
  • “He goes on Reddit…and people on Reddit were like, go to the police. And he goes, ‘You think I should go to the police?’ And they’re like, ‘Yes!’” – Matt Jones (08:28)

Memorable moment: The team marvels at John’s effectiveness compared to authorities.
“Maybe he should be the one who’s on, like, the police force!” – frequent female interjector (08:11)

2. Vince Marrow’s Social Media Saga

• Vince Marrow, Kentucky football coach, retweets a report saying Louisville’s cornerback coach declined UK’s offer, captioning it “Don’t mess with the Big Dog. He knows. Knows we own the state.”
  • Panel playfully debates whether he means he prevented the hire, or simply that Kentucky retains dominance in recruiting and coaching battles.
  • Amusement at Vince’s public persona and propensity for bold Twitter statements even during games.

Memorable exchange:

• “Donald Trump and Vince Marrow have one thing in common. They need to get off their phones.” – Matt Jones (09:34)

3. Previewing UK vs. St. John’s and Volleyball’s Run

• Point spread for UK vs. St. John’s: Kentucky is a 2.5-point underdog (12:22).
• Callers ask if more pregame and postgame coverage will be dedicated to the volleyball team, especially if they win the national championship.
  • Matt affirms desire but highlights network logistics challenges.
  • Emotion in the community over volleyball finals.
• Discussion with “Debbie” (call-in) about the technical aspects of volleyball officiating and rules, such as net techniques and line calls (14:13–15:52).

4. On-Air Humor: PA Announcing and Local Sports

• Shannon describes doing PA at high school games — not always knowing who’s playing:
  • “What do you mean you don’t know who’s playing?” – Matt Jones (17:00)
• Light ribbing about whether he does unique calls (“Matt Jones three points!”).

5. NFL Stadium Funding & Domes Debate

• The Bears threaten to move from Chicago (possibly to Gary, Indiana, or Arlington Heights), demanding city funding for a new stadium.
  • Matt's view: NFL teams shouldn’t get public money for stadiums; football stadiums see limited use compared to arenas.
  • Strong opinions against domes, advocating for unique NFL home-field advantages and keeping games in harsh weather (“Chicago-Green Bay should be in the snow”).
  • Crew mocks the notion of domes hosting concerts and major events versus historical outdoor stadiums.
  • Panel dislikes Final Fours in domes as losing “environment” and intimacy.

Notable quotes:

• “The NFL should not be using public money for stadiums!” – Matt Jones (31:15)
• “When you put a dome on it, it makes me want to puke.” – Matt Jones (34:02)
• “The Final Four. I know they have it there. It stinks.” – Matt Jones (45:47)

6. Barstool’s “Pardon My Take” Podcast to Netflix

• Discussion on Pardon My Take and Barstool podcasts moving to Netflix:
  • Skepticism about demand for podcasts on Netflix versus traditional audio/youtube channels.
• “If I go on Netflix, I’m gonna have so many other choices. Am I gonna watch a podcast?” – Matt Jones (35:34)

7. Women’s Volleyball vs. Women’s Basketball

• Callers debate relative entertainment and athleticism between women’s volleyball and basketball.
  • Matt defends women’s basketball athleticism and calls for appreciation of both sports’ differences.
  • Agrees women’s volleyball is compelling due to longer rallies, compared to “serve, set, spike” in men’s games.

Quote:

• “Women’s volleyball, you get these rallies that you just don’t get in the others.” – Matt Jones (38:55)

8. UK Athletics and NIL Issues

• Caller critiques Kentucky’s unique contract with JMI as a hindrance to NIL (name, image, likeness) efforts, comparing it to “good food, poor service.”

You're ready. You have Nexplanon etnogestrel implant 68mg Radiopeg to prevent pregnancy.

Once the implant is placed, you and your doctor should feel for it.

To hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back our number two Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. Okay, now the phone lines are working. We reset it so you can give us a shout. I'll take your calls here in just a minute. It's virtual takeover. Don Franklin, Hyundai Somerset celebrating tough trucks to sleek SUVs your perfect fit is waiting at Don Franklin Hyundai. We are celebrating the UK volleyball team making the championship. We've got Kentucky, St. John's coming up. A couple things here that are non about those two before we go, the phones. Did you see the story about how they caught the guy? Well, he's dead now. Yeah, but how they found out who the guy was that. That did the shooting at Brown? Yeah, a homeless man.

[Shannon]

They were in some, like, canister or something. Like a train. Like, what was it?

[Matt Jones]

A big, Like a train canister.

[Shannon]

What do you call it? Like a rail car? I'm thinking.

[Matt Jones]

Are you thinking about like a hobo?

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

No.

[Shannon]

No, but they. They found him in, like, he was in like, some.

[Matt Jones]

Which one was. He was. Yeah. Do you. Did you find out how they figured out who he was?

[Shannon]

No.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, then you're not. That wasn't my story. My story was the homeless man that. That caught him. So a homeless man was walking down the street and saw the guy who did it. He thought he recognized him from the picture they put out, so he decided on his own to go sleuthing. Wow. Yeah. So he basically. This is like a movie. He basically, like, followed the guy. Then the guy saw him following him and was like, thought it might be suspect. So he tries to walk around the block. The homeless man kind of follows him around the block, looks in the car, sees a couple bags that may have been the duffel bags of the. With the gun. He then goes, recognizes the clothing. He's basically the. The guy who kills him. Starts chasing the homeless man. The homeless man runs, gets to the police, describes his clothing, takes his license plate, which allows the police to find out who he is. The guy knows that he's, like, been caught, and that's why he ends up, I think, killing himself. But it all happened because a homeless guy named John. Now, here's the part that's interesting. The homeless guy apparently then goes to the library. Shannon gets on Reddit and tells the story.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Wild Man. It really is. Yeah, that guy.

[Matt Jones]

And so, like, he's going to get the. He's going to get the reward.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Do we know what the reward is?

[Matt Jones]

$50,000.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Take care of him.

[Matt Jones]

Good for him.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Imagine being homeless in the.

[Matt Jones]

But he was walking down the street and he sees a guy and he goes, that looks like the guy. The guy had not left Providence. He was still in Providence. And he goes, that looks like the guy. He ends up chasing him around and then goes to police, and apparently his whole description told them exactly where he was, who he Was. And then they were able to get him. Then the police issued it today, saying it was because of this guy.

[Shannon]

That guy.

[Matt Jones]

And this guy. Be interested in what his life story is. He apparently went to Brown, so he was, like, wanting to find the guy because he went to Brown, but ended up homeless. So he went tonight. So who knows what happened in his life. Obviously, things didn't. Something happened, but crazy story.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

It is just as cool.

[Matt Jones]

It is.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

The homeless guy found him, was able to pull that off. It also seems kind of dumb that the dude was just lingering.

[Matt Jones]

So that's two things. One, why did you stick around Providence? Secondly, Shannon, it's kind of weird to me. The FBI, the police, all these people are looking for him. And, like, a homeless guy walking down and he's in Providence.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

And a homeless guy walking down the street is the one that finds him. Don't you find.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Yeah. Maybe he should be the one who's on, like, the police force.

[Shannon]

That's very true.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

You want to be a sheriff?

[Matt Jones]

I mean, detective. Looks like he was the most successful, successful one of all of them.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

And he kept the. The guns in his car. That had his last.

[Matt Jones]

I think I got it wrong. Sorry. He went on Reddit first, and then the people on Reddit were like, go to the police. And he goes, you think I should go to the police? And they're like, yes. And then he goes to the police. So people on Reddit talked him into going to the police. So when it first happened, he just goes to the library, gets on Reddit and says, I think I saw the guy. Everybody's like, dude, turn to the police.

[Shannon]

Yeah, no kidding.

[Matt Jones]

And then it ends up happening.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

That's a crazy story. I'm glad he's getting taken care of.

[Matt Jones]

Well, hopefully. You know, I think that I. I just was like, that is one of the stranger things I've seen.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Think how, like, important he felt. Like when he locks on the guy and he's following him and getting all the clues and the license plate number.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

See him walking into a police station. They're not going to take him serious if he's a homeless man.

[Matt Jones]

He had been on Reddit.

[Shannon]

That made it official. I made it official.

[Matt Jones]

All right. Did you see what Vince Marrow did yesterday?

[Shannon]

Oh, no.

[Matt Jones]

Vince Merrow. I listen, I love Vince Merrow. If I were on the U of L coaching staff, I'd be like, all right, Vince, I do what the people at the White House should do with the President. Take his phone.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

I thought that sometimes when he was here, even Though I enjoyed it.

[Matt Jones]

Donald Trump and Vince Merrill have one thing in common. They need to get off their phones and like, you know. So apparently we pursued Louisville's cornerback coach Steve Ellis.

[Shannon]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Jody Demling wrote now, Gamma Jody. I love Jody, but Jody's kind of PR for U of L, which is fine, but you just have to listen to what he says through that lens. He wrote, Jody wrote. According to sources, Kentucky heavily pursued Louisville cornerback coach Steve Ellis for the same role in Lexington. Ellis has opted to stay in Louisville. That may very well be true. Probably is. Vince Merrill retweets it and writes, don't mess with the Big dog. He knows. Knows we own the state. All right, now, now, remember, Vince calls himself the Big Dog, right? So is he suggesting that he kept the cornerback coach, or is he calling Steve Ellis the big dog?

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

He's calling himself the Big Dog.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

He's calling himself.

[Matt Jones]

So he's saying, don't mess with. Don't mess with me. Is Vince arguing he is the reason that Steve Ellis stayed? Shannon?

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

It sounds like it to me.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Don't mess with the big Dog. Don't mess with me. We own the state.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. He's calling himself, don't mess with me. Yeah, I like Vince, but now we have to officially start messing with me. He says we own the state. Then one commenter responds, you don't even think you own the state. You eat in Lexington every night. I didn't see that. It's kind of a funny.

[Shannon]

It's really funny reply.

[Matt Jones]

I love Vince, but he does eat in Lexington every night.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Just here a couple days ago.

[Matt Jones]

He's here all the time. Do you know how many text machine reports I get of Vince is at this restaurant?

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

I've had a few myself. Also, we own the state is what he'd always say here. So who owns the state or does events Big Dog just own the state?

[Matt Jones]

I think the he's suggesting he owns the state. So wherever he goes, ownership of the state follows.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Matter of fact, I think if he was on here, he would say that, don't you?

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

I completely agree that he would. And I, as much as I don't think he should be doing it, I love when the Big Dog is tweeting and kind of tiptoeing on that line there of crossing it as a coach.

[Matt Jones]

I do too.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

I still can't believe he tweeted at Nick Roush during the Governor's cup during.

[Shannon]

The game from the sideline.

[Matt Jones]

Don't mess with the Big Dog. We own the state.

[Shannon]

Even by him saying that they like. Pete knocked is coming on this staff and there are another coach that's leaving Louisville to join.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I don't think there's anyone else that was on the set but people who played at Louisville.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Okay, I have breaking news if we need it.

[Matt Jones]

Breaking news. Shannon, Ronnie, Nana, go for it.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

We have a point spread already on tomorrow's game. Usually we have to wait until after the shows on Friday, but Kentucky is a two and a half point underdog against St. John's tomorrow on DraftKings.

[Matt Jones]

Felt like you were being a little liberal with the breaking news. It's big news.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

We never get a spread.

[Matt Jones]

I thought something that happened. You're just giving.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

You don't get excited about the points.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know that I would call it breaking news. I am interested in it, but it just went up.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

We can report it first. It's not. Hadn't been out there.

[Matt Jones]

Fair enough. That sounds about. I was going to say St. John's by three. So two and a half makes.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Well, if it goes up a half point, let me know so I can hit the breaking news button again. I will.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Anytime I see line movement, I'm going.

[Matt Jones]

To make sure we break in. I'm just excited.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

We usually have to wait till Friday night.

[Matt Jones]

You're right about that. Noah, Go ahead. Noah.

[Caller]

Hey, Matt, this is Wings A Noah. I want to know if Kentucky wins this volleyball championship, if they, if they win the national championship, is there any possible way we could start doing pregame and post game shows for these, for these women?

[Matt Jones]

A lot of pregame. I, I do, I do a pregame and we do a lot already. So. No, but I would like to do. I mean you could make a strong argument we should do one for the finals. But I just, I don't have the ability to get like my finger and get on all the network. So I, you know. Not a bad idea. It's not a bad idea. I appreciate the call. I would love to. Last night felt like one of those nights that I should immediately go on the air and do a post game show.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

Because it is exciting. We all wanted to talk about it at 11:30 at night, but they play.

[Matt Jones]

A lot of games.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

I think they play like 36 and on Sundays.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, we are so. But hey, Sunday is going to be exciting. 3:30 national television. Got to get this dub. Debbie, what's up? Debbie.

[Caller]

Doing?

[Matt Jones]

I'm good. How are you?

[Caller]

All right, thanks. Hey, I was going to say my husband and I were line judges for UK volleyball up to when Craig Skinner Started. We'd been in it for several years. We weren't the only ones. There were rotation of us. But I'll tell you what, those touches are so hard at the net that it was. They. They really did have to start getting cameras.

[Matt Jones]

Yes, I can understand.

[Caller]

It used to be. Well, it used to be like in the, in the early 80s. I did it when I was doing UK in Bachelor's degree time. And they, they started to every. Every ball at the net. They then started saying, well, no, there's a toss. There's a toss, you know, and it's up to us.

[Matt Jones]

Debbie, you just have to tell them to stop arguing. Like that's the. You just gotta say, listen, I'm Debbie. You don't argue with me. But I do think it would probably have been a lot of. A lot of noise. Now, were you always allowed to reach over the net like that?

[Caller]

You can reach over the net if the other team has already hit it or if it's. If you're going up for a. A block at the thing. Yes, then.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, I didn't realize that you have.

[Caller]

To be on your side. But as the block with their fingers, then they can go over because the other person has hit it. But they cannot put their hands over the. Over the net if the other team has not had a chance to hit it yet.

[Matt Jones]

Gotcha. Well, Debbie, thank you very much for your. For your rules. Appreciate it. Rules breakdown. You know who is a college basketball referee?

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

You mean college volleyball?

[Matt Jones]

College volleyball.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

[Matt Jones]

Big Easy?

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Big Easy is a.

[Shannon]

Does like Big Ten games and stuff, doesn't he?

[Matt Jones]

Big Easy, I think did an NCAA tournament game in Lexington. Not ours, but one of the other. Like what was it when we played whoever played opposite us? I think Big Easy did that.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

How long until they asked Ryan and he just says yes because he'll do any odd jobs at sporting events.

[Matt Jones]

Ryan is probably doing a volleyball game at 2 o' clock somewhere.

[Shannon]

Those folks that sit on the corner and just raise their flag if it goes out, I want to be that guy.

[Matt Jones]

Why are you doing this again?

[Shannon]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Are they paying you?

[Shannon]

No.

[Matt Jones]

Didn't you do. So you're doing it for free. So on your Saturday night, Douglas.

[Shannon]

Douglas High School.

[Matt Jones]

Do you know anyone in the game?

[Shannon]

I know the coach.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

He's got me with the coaches. And get over the spotter, get over the stats.

[Shannon]

See, I don't even know who's playing.

[Matt Jones]

What do you mean you don't know who's playing?

[Shannon]

Douglas was playing somebody but there's a second game. There's two games. Like, it's like a showcase. I did two games at GRC for Coach Q a couple weeks ago.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

He did a Saturday doubleheader just last week.

[Matt Jones]

How's that different?

[Shannon]

Nobody does it that way.

[Matt Jones]

[Shannon]

Nobody does it that way. Matt Jones 3.

[Matt Jones]

I get the premise. Okay. All right. Well, listen, man, how you want to spend your time is up to you. Listen, I'm going to go to the Kentucky. What is the thing at Fairdale? The King of the bluegrass. Yeah, that's this weekend. I'm gonna go Saturday night and watch Darren Felthouse, his kid play.

[Shannon]

I see the game I did at grc. I've already seen him play. He was playing that game.

[Matt Jones]

I don't care what you're doing.

[Shannon]

He's a monster.

You're ready. You have Nexplanon etnogestrel implant. 68mg Radiopeg to prevent pregnancy. Nexsplanon is a non daily prescription birth control for women that goes in your arm and may take a few minutes to insert by your doctor. Don't use nexspanon if you're pregnant or may be pregnant, have or had blood clots or certain cancers, have liver disease, liver tumor or unexplained vaginal bleeding. Once the implant is placed, you and your doctor should feel for it. If at any time you can't feel the implant, contact your doctor right away and use a non hormonal birth control method such as condoms. Removal of the implant may be difficult or impossible if it isn't where it should be while in common ectopic pregnancy. Pregnancy that occurs outside the womb can occur, which can cause some serious internal bleeding, infertility and even death. You are likely to experience changes to your period. Ovarian cysts may occur and usually disappear. Nexsplanon may raise the chance of serious blood clots, which can cause heart attack, stroke or death, especially if you smoke or have other risk factors. Nexplanon doesn't protect against HIV or STDs. With less than one pregnancy per 100 women who use Nexplanon for one year, Nexplanon is over 99% effective. No matter the fantasy, talk to your doctor. Call 1-877-467-5266 or visit nexplanon.com for more information. Ask your doctor about Nexplanon.

So I got a couple facts off about the homeless story. It makes it even more amazing. You want two facts that are different.

[Shannon]

What's that?

[Matt Jones]

Well, first of all, I knew this. He shot. He also shot the. The guy that they. That he found also shot the professor at mit. So this guy, I don't know, maybe he was like, anti. I don't know, who knows what. What was his reasoning? But the homeless man initially had been squatting in the basement of the building where the shooting was in. Wow.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

It's another plot twist.

[Matt Jones]

Another plot twist. Secondly, he actually did not know that this man was the suspect for the murder. He just thought he looked suspicious.

[Shannon]

So he didn't see a picture that thought he looked like that guy and.

[Matt Jones]

Then later saw the picture and said, that looks like the guy that I thought was suspicious.

[Shannon]

But his original indication was this guy just kind of looks a little shady.

[Matt Jones]

So he gets on Reddit, sees the picture. So apparently he, like, everyone in Providence is like, we gotta find this guy. Homeless guy sees this guy, and he doesn't know. He's like, that guy looks suspicious, goes and looks. Goes and gets on Reddit, sees the picture and go, I think I saw this guy.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

So not only is the shooter still around Providence, he's walking around looking suspicious near the building where the shooting.

[Matt Jones]

Near the building where the shooting occurred.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

He's trying to hide in plain sight, you know?

[Matt Jones]

And yet, Shannon, they didn't catch him. This guy did.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

That's even more impressive. Like, the guy just pretty much stayed at this, you know, the crime, and they still could.

[Commercial Announcer (e.g., Ryan Seacrest)]

It's interesting.

[Matt Jones]

Everybody's like a nationwide manhunt, and this guy's like, what if I just stay in the building right here?

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Nobody will look here.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

No, somebody's got to hire that guy. He's one for one.

[Matt Jones]

He's one for one. Yeah. So that's kind of a crazy.

[Shannon]

He's got a big paycheck coming his way.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, well, he deserves it. Yeah, well, well done. Before we go the phones, one sad piece of news. Greg Biffle and his entire family died in a plane crash. When I was in my prime, NASCAR fandom, Greg Biffle was a driver.

[Shannon]

Yeah, sure.

[Matt Jones]

So, like in that period, late 90s, early 2000s, Biffle was a guy. But what I think is much more. He won like 40 or 50 races in his career. But put that to the side. What is more impressive about Greg Biffles, what he did afterwards, which is I don't know if you had ever seen during the flooding in North Carolina that was part of hurricane. Was it Helene? Is that the one that was just a couple. Just a couple of years ago in the mountains that flooded and Asheville and all that stuff. He literally spent days flying his own helicopter to give materials to people. He would fly town by town and drop materials into these places that were cut off from society. Dies in a plane crash with his family.

[Shannon]

Yeah, his entire family.

[Matt Jones]

North Carolina. Awful story.

[Shannon]

He's a hero.

[Matt Jones]

He had already been in one plane crash, apparently.

[Shannon]

Really?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. And survived it. But not this one. Yeah.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

I remember all the stories about him helping out through the flooding and then to go out the same way he was helping people. And just the photo of his family and the young kids.

[Matt Jones]

Such a beautiful family. That's just. It's. It's really sad. Tristan, go ahead. Tristan.

[Caller]

Good morning, gentlemen.

[Matt Jones]

Good morning.

[Caller]

So, a couple. So a couple of things first. This is for Drew. This is parent pre parenting advice. My. My recommendation to all new parents is that you sleep as much as possible, because as soon as the. Your baby arrives, you're not going to feel rested or refreshed for two years, and so take the next couple of months to sleep as much as possible right now.

[Matt Jones]

All right. Perfect timing, too, because it's basketball season, so it's a good time for you to sleep.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Yeah, just doze right off.

[Matt Jones]

Thank you. That's.

[Caller]

That's correct. And the other thing I've got for this morning is that this is your evergreen reminder that the fan base is not a monolith. We don't all love Rick, Pattina. We don't all have positive memories of him. And so I humbly request that you qualify your affirmations by indicating that only. Only a subset of the base loves him or otherwise accepts him back into the fold. There's no we. There's no us.

[Matt Jones]

There's no I can't do that. Do you realize how boring a show would be if. If I qualified everything by going now? This is not everyone. This is just like. You have to make generalization.

[Caller]

Well, I mean, Drew already said the Rick reunion. That made me want to throw up.

[Matt Jones]

So, yeah, I understand, and I appreciate the call. There are a lot of people that. There are some people that don't. I still think if you did a Rick Patino approval rating with the fan base today, you would get a majority of people who would give him a positive, whereas four years ago, a majority of people would have given him a negative. Yeah.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

And I'm actually on the caller side, but I called it a Patina reunion because it's literally a reunion with Pope and Patina.

[Matt Jones]

You said something interesting last night that I think you should repeat.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Yeah, I've said it a few times. I don't. I feel like Pope's got some complex with Patino where he almost feels like Rick's still superior to him. I need him to stick out his chest like, you're the coach of Kentucky now. Let's have some confidence. I've felt that way since he's been on the job. There's a lot of, like, golly, I'm the coach of Kentucky and, you know, have a couple months of that. But let's. Let's start getting cocky now.

[Matt Jones]

You're like, I'm the coach of Kentucky.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

I feel like he's still surrendering to Rick. I didn't even like when Rick came back for Pope's first madness.

[Matt Jones]

Like, sure, bring.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Bring it back sometime. But, like, this is your moment. Why are you already making it about him? I feel like we need to get a little away from that.

[Matt Jones]

Do you want him to sort of stick his chest out and be like, I am the Kentucky coach?

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Yes. And that's not just this Rick situation. I've thought that the whole time. I feel like he's. He can be a little timid, and he's almost shocked that he has the job. And I get. For a month you had that, but now, come on, let's get. Let's get tough and stick your chest out.

[Matt Jones]

Do you agree with that?

[Shannon]

I think there's a little truth to it, to be honest, because the way he's acted around when Patino has been around, they have so much love and admiration for Patino in Almost Cower.

[Matt Jones]

Do you worry that there'll be any of that Saturday, that it might affect the game being kind of like, golly gee, there's Rick on the other side.

[Shannon]

See, I do. I kind of lean that way. You know, I'm afraid. He's almost afraid to beat Patino, especially knowing I'm beating bad and embarrassing.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Well, that's a problem if he's afraid to beat the Dino. The good thing is he's not playing in the game. He's only coaching.

[Matt Jones]

But I do wonder. I don't. I'm probably a little less worried about it than you two are. But I do wonder if it's a one point game and we call time out to draw up a play, is he going to get in his head and be like, what will Rick do? That's the part where I would be maybe a little.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

I'm worried about the intimidation factor a little bit.

[Matt Jones]

Peggy. Go ahead, Peggy.

[Caller]

Hey, good morning guys. I am a question. They are supposed to announce the top volleyball player of the year.

[Matt Jones]

It's happening right now. I think. I think it's happening right now because we were going to have Craig Skinner on and I think he's at that or about to go to that. So I think you're right.

[Caller]

Okay. I just. I was wondering when they were doing it.

[Matt Jones]

I think it's now. I just got a message because I texted Craig to come on and I got a message said we have the all American banquet that we are at so we can't join right now. So it must. I guess it may be going on as we speak.

[Caller]

Okay. So we don't know when. We'll find out if I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

I would assume anytime if. Unless it's a very long banquet. So. But, but, but as of right this moment, I do not.

[Caller]

Okay. Fingers crossed that Eva wins it.

[Matt Jones]

Yes. Appreciate the call. Also tomorrow, by the way, you've got the volleyball game and then Kentucky. Don't we also have a women's basketball game maybe going on tonight?

[Shannon]

Oh, tonight, yeah, there's a women's game tonight.

[Matt Jones]

What time's that game?

[Shannon]

Not sure.

[Matt Jones]

Who do they play?

[Shannon]

Not sure.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so you're very definitive on the time.

[Shannon]

They definitely play tonight.

[Matt Jones]

But you don't play. Right. State at 6:30 tonight immemorial. Yep.

[Shannon]

Yeah. Historic memorial costume.

[Matt Jones]

All right. 6:30 tonight. The the women. 859-280-2287. We'll take a break. Be right back.

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

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back Techie Sports Radio. Don Franklin Hyundai Somerset day. I'm going to give you this read this reads perfect for me. Okay, you ready Shannon?

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Let's go.

[Matt Jones]

Are you ready for the rough stuff?

[Shannon]

Yeah, it's perfect for you.

[Matt Jones]

Blue collar dollars meet off road grit at the Franklin Truck League only at Don Franklin Auto. Are you ready for the rough stuff?

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Can you Handle the rough stuff.

[Matt Jones]

Let's add. Slow down. No. The answer is Almost certainly no. A5928, 2287. The tax machine is 772-774-5254. One person writes. Matt, are you upset that your Chicago Bears may move to Indiana? They ain't gonna do that.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Where are they going? Northwest.

[Matt Jones]

Is that Gary? Gonna go to Gary, Indiana? They're not doing that. They're not going to game. What's the other town that's starts with an H? That's even worse than Gary. It's between Gary and Chicago.

[Shannon]

Hebron.

[Matt Jones]

No, it's like Hanover. What is it? What's Somebody look it up. What's the.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

There's usually find all my fun and Gary.

[Matt Jones]

It's right between Gary and. It's where like everything is on fire and there's smoke billowing out of everything.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Hammond.

[Matt Jones]

Hammond. That's it.

[Commercial Announcer (e.g., Ryan Seacrest)]

Hammond.

[Matt Jones]

So like they're not going there. They're just fighting with the government, trying to get money. I'm of the belief. It's been my belief for it, especially the NFL. I can make a different argument for basketball and hockey because basketball and hockey can put arenas where they can get concerts. But the NFL should not be using public money for stadiums. Like I said, basketball and hockey, I can accept it a little bit because you can put something in your downtown that gets a ton of people and they can have concerts and it can revitalize your downtown. So I'm okay with public money for basketball arenas. Sometimes football stadiums. They don't do anything there except the NFL. It's like nine times a year. Right?

[Shannon]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

The NFL makes so much money. Pay for it yourself. You got it. The NFL. The numbers of bears are worth 43 bajillion dollars.

[Shannon]

That's a lot.

[Matt Jones]

So they're trying to make Chicago pay for it. If they. If Chicago ends up paying for it, I'm not gonna be outrageous. Not my tax money. But like, the Bears need to. I love the Bears. They slow down. Like, they're good. So now they're like, oh, we're moving to Gary and you ain't moving to Gary, Indiana.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Isn't that like the murder capital it used to be?

[Matt Jones]

Now it's like apparently like slowly trying to revitalize. We've been there, remember? It's kind of. Was kind of sad. Nothing sad, but it's not dangerous as much now, or at least it doesn't feel dangerous. It's just empty, which is. It's just sad. But regardless, they are not moving the Bears to Gary. Indiana. I just. I do not believe that.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

I don't believe that whatsoever.

[Matt Jones]

They're trying to, like, you know, pull the Jacksons.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

They have Gary, Indiana. Aren't all the Jacksons from there? You can't take that from them.

[Matt Jones]

The Chicago Bears have to be in Chicago.

[Shannon]

Have to be. What's wrong. What's wrong with their location right now? What do they want to move from the location?

[Matt Jones]

I don't really understand why they want to move. Soldier Field is in the middle of Chicago. Like, we've been like, it's nice. I mean, it's not, like, exquisite, but it's fine. It's. It's right there on the water.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

That fits them. Like Wrigley's old. Like, you can update it.

[Matt Jones]

They want to move it up to Arlington Heights, which is like, where all the rich people live.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

They could just do what Green Bay did with Lambo. They didn't move Lambo. They didn't change locations. They just renovated it. They could do that.

[Matt Jones]

You go up to Arlington Heights. I mean, I. That like. But apparently Arlington Heights won't give them the tax money or Chicago. I. I just think these stadiums, again, I feel differently about arenas because the city can use that for stuff, but football stadiums, just pay for it yourself. It's a football stadium. Just big circle.

[Shannon]

They want to build, like a dome so they can do have like a Super bowl and NBA.

[Matt Jones]

Talk about a dome. But to me, these teams that play in the cold weather, dude, you should not have a dome.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

That's your home field advantage.

[Matt Jones]

That's your advantage being outside. Like Chicago. The Chicago Green Bay game, it should be in the snow. When you put a dome on it, it makes me want to puke.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Bill's fans, like, revolted when they tried to say they were getting a dome, and they ended up not doing it because they know that's their advantage.

[Matt Jones]

The part of it like Minnesota and Detroit have messed out on that for years by having the domes. Okay, you don't get the Super Bowl. Who cares? It's once every team cares. So I don't like it. And if they move to Gary, Indiana, that's fine. It's closer for me. But they ain't moving to Gary.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

The Gary Bears, I like it.

[Matt Jones]

They're not moving. One person writes. Matt, what do you think about Pardon My Take and the Barstool podcast going to Netflix? I'm sure they got a lot of money. I salute them. I think, good for you guys. Those dudes are my buddies. Maybe that means when they host this show, it'll be on Netflix. Very cool. With that said, I think they'll make a lot of money, so it probably makes sense to do it. They. I think that's an. Like, that'll be hard for their audience. Like, I know for me, I'm not watching podcasts on Netflix. You know, I mean, I'm just probably not. It's not that I'm against it. I just probably will never think if I go on Netflix, I'm gonna have so many other choices. Am I gonna watch a podcast? You're telling me I can watch, like, movies or I can watch people sitting and talking to each other. I think I'm gonna watch the movies. You know what I mean, Shannon?

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Yeah, I'm not watching a podcast on Netflix. I mean, maybe on YouTube, but I'm not going to do it.

[Matt Jones]

Like, exactly. To me, podcasts. So, like, I'm sure they're getting a lot of money and so good for them. Those guys deserve all their success. They've changed podcast in sports, but I just don't know. I think they'll lose some audience because I just don't know that people are going to sit and watch podcasts on Netflix. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they will.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Yeah. What is Netflix doing? They now have the NFL. They're going to add a. Looks like a podcast network. I mean, they have wrestling. Are they just trying to be, like.

[Matt Jones]

Everything at the point they want to be cable? Yeah, they're just turning into Spectrum.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

They're really adding Home Run Derby next year. Is going to be on Netflix. Did you see that? I mean, they're really. I didn't see random stuff.

[Matt Jones]

With that said, if Netflix wants to take. I will go. Yeah.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

We were just talking about how we'd.

[Matt Jones]

Love to be on there. I mean, I. I've always said podcasts are perfect for Netflix.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

I was just thinking how I would love to sit down on Netflix and.

[Matt Jones]

Watch a podcast, but I just don't know, like, if I'm getting on Netflix, I'm not sure podcasts gonna be the thing I'm gonna choose to watch. Are you.

[Shannon]

You only go to Netflix to watch movies and stuff right now. That's kind of what.

[Matt Jones]

But I think what they're trying to do is to make it to where you go to Netflix for everything.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

It's just you sit down and go, str.

[Matt Jones]

All right, I'm at my television. I'm just watching Netflix. And maybe that'll work. I don't know.

[Shannon]

It's working right now for him, it seems like.

[Matt Jones]

But are you going to watch podcasts on Netflix.

[Shannon]

I'm not.

[Matt Jones]

That's what I'm saying. But maybe it'll work. I don't know. Kevin, Go ahead. Kevin.

[Caller]

Yeah, I just want to make a general comment about women's volleyball and kind of compared to other sports, including men's volleyball, for some reason, there's something about the sport that's so exciting. The women look way more athletic than women basketball. Women basketball players. And it's the perfect pace. Like, compared to men's volleyball, I think that's too fast, so. But I'm also wondering, like, why I.

[Matt Jones]

Would disagree with you on the athleticism. There are some. There are a lot of really good athletes in women's basketball. I mean, it's. It's a different. The jumping is. It feels bigger in. In volleyball, but that's because their thing to do is jump. But I mean, there's women that play basket ball that are fast and can jump. I mean, you know, Brittany Griner could dunk. So, like, you're not going to convince me she's not a good athlete.

[Caller]

Well, I just think they look faster. They look more athletic now. The net is seven and a half feet.

[Matt Jones]

They're not. They're not exactly. They're not faster than.

[Caller]

They just look more athletic.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, well, the net 7 1/2ft helps. I mean, listen, I love it. I just don't think you should, like, demean women's basketball by saying, like, if. If the. If the rim was seven and a half feet tall, those women would look like they're dunking, too.

[Caller]

I will say this, though. The women in basketball look like they're running in molasses versus the women in volleyball.

[Matt Jones]

In volleyball are not running.

[Caller]

That's true. They just look.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

I don't know.

[Caller]

I don't know what it is. I just know it's better. It's more. It's more entertaining, and it's even more entertaining than men's.

[Matt Jones]

Appreciate the call. I actually think women's volleyball is a lot more entertaining than men's because the men, they're almost. I won't say they're too good, but almost too athletic. Like, nobody like rallies that you get in women's volleyball. You don't get me.

[Shannon]

Don't get.

[Matt Jones]

If you've ever watched the men's. It's just like, hit it 100 miles.

[Shannon]

An hour and hide one set, one spike, point, point.

[Matt Jones]

Women's volleyball, you get these rallies that you just don't get in the others.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

And those rallies last night were so fun.

[Shannon]

They were awesome. Weren't they?

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

But did you see the clip of Craig Skinner playing when he was. I don't know if he was coaching, but they show an old clip of Skinner getting up and spiking it. Full head of hair.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, you never see men's volleyball except at the Olympics. And when they have the Olympics, try to watch one of those matches.

[Shannon]

You can't. You can't serve, set, spike, point, serve, set, spike, point.

[Matt Jones]

If you miss a spike, it's like you're the worst player of all time. I mean, they just. And they.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

They don't cheer as much for themselves or they don't. They don't dance on the. On the bench or all the other fun, energy things that come with women's volleyball.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. And don't get me wrong, like, you certainly are allowed to like women's volleyball more. I am finding it as entertaining, if not more. I don't think it's fair to those basketball players to say they're not. They're. They're asked to do a different thing, you know? And I think, like, Eva Hudson could be a really good women's basketball player. There's probably some girls playing women's basketball. It could be really good volleyball.

[Shannon]

They probably grew up playing both their whole lives.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Clayton and Crew was founded on a simple idea. All leather goods should last a lifetime. They make everything from bags, belts, wallets and much more.

[Shannon]

Wow. Dominated.

[Matt Jones]

Dude, she's gonna be a massive star going into this, like, once. Once. People like, she's. You can't stop her.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Not at all. What's her name? Audie, I think.

[Shannon]

You can't stop her down low. But then she runs.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

She'll throw a pointer. Audi. Crooks.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Can't do that. Can't leave Soldier Field.

[Shannon]

That's it. You can't leave Soldier Field.

[Matt Jones]

Here's the thing. Like, people are telling me about all the things you can do with domes. First of all, yes. Can you have a concert? Sure. But how many concerts are at football stadiums every year? A handful. You get a good arena, you can have events. Like Madison Square Garden in New York has an event every single night.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Literally every single night. In Chicago, you could put a basketball arena up. And if it was in downtown, you could have an event if you wanted. Every single football stadium. How many. How many outdoor concerts you gonna have? Two, three a year?

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

Not many.

[Matt Jones]

Not many. Okay. A dome. I know domes are like, you can. Oh, you can host the super bowl, you can host Final Four, you can host WrestleMania. But here's the thing. If I were to tell you what NFL stadiums do you want to visit? Which one's going to be a dome? Where do you want to visit? You want to visit Soldier Field? You want to visit Lambeau Field? You want to visit Buffalo? Maybe you want to visit Kansas City, Pittsburgh? All outdoors, all outdoor. Give me the dome. To the extent there's a dome you'd want to visit. It might be Dallas, but even that has, like, a roof. But that's more just because it's like a technological marvel and it's huge, but it still probably wouldn't even be in the top 10.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You want to go, like, outside?

[Shannon]

You know, football is all about, man.

[Matt Jones]

At least to me. Like, do any of you watch a game in Minnesota, Detroit, New Orleans, Houston, and think, man, that looks like a great. That looks fun?

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

No, I'd rather get in the hot tub in Jacksonville than being a dome.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Who wants to be in a dome? The Final Four. I know they have it there. It stinks.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

When it's in domes. Too big.

[Shannon]

The Final Fours have lost a lot of the environment because of the. It is in that dome. You just get. Gets lost.

[Matt Jones]

When Kentucky played Tennessee last year, you know, they used half of it. Still too big.

[Shannon]

Still bit too big.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

I hated that. They're like, we're putting it in here, but we're only going to use half.

[Matt Jones]

Michael at that point.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

What are we using this big place for if you're just going to curtain most of it off?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, it's. It's still. It's still to me, too big. All right, College Football Playoff will do our draft Kings parlay. By the way, it's a Don Franklin Hyundai in Somerset takeover. Hope you all will Visit Don Franklin. 4 College Football Playoff games. We're going to make our parlay based on these four.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Once tonight. I was wondering if we needed to just do the three on Saturday since we don't normally do Friday.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Bama Oklahoma's tonight.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Three against the spread will still be a long part.

[Matt Jones]

So we'll do. We'll do three then. So do we. Is there any Saturday game tomorrow? Okay. I'll also throw in another game tomorrow. Okay, each of you gets to pick one game. Drew, I'll start with you. Miami. Texas A and M, what's the spread?

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Texas A and M is a three point favorite.

[Matt Jones]

Who you like?

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

I will roll with the SEC and A and M and Jay Bateman.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. I'm going to do well. No. Two lane. Ole Miss. What's the spread?

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

17 and a half.

[Matt Jones]

17 and a half. What do you want?

[Shannon]

I'm still going to take Ole Miss.

[Matt Jones]

Even without Lane.

[Shannon]

Even without Lane.

[Matt Jones]

So we got Ole Miss. We got Texas A and M. Shannon, I'll let you do James Madison and Oregon.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Oregon's a 20 and a half point favorite. I think I'm still taking Oregon the.

[Matt Jones]

I think Oregon like or to roll. You know what? I don't want to screw that up because I really like that one. All the favorites to cover A and M. Ole Miss and Oregon all cover. I like that. We'll just make that the parlay.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

It's still almost plus 600 plus.

[Matt Jones]

I love it. That's it. We're going to win.

[Shannon]

Let's go. Start of the year with the win in the year.

[Matt Jones]

The only one I'm at all worried about is if Miami beats A and M because I think Ole Miss and. And Oregon will both cover that. Sean, go ahead. Sean.

[Caller]

Yeah, I got two things real quick. If you guys ever. There's a website called the Nil Store and obviously Kentucky's not on it, but there are multiple JMI schools and it makes me think that our issues aren't necessarily JMI policies, but JMI carrying out Mitch Barnhart policies.

[Matt Jones]

We have a different contract, though. We have a different contract with JMI than every other school, though. And again, whether or not it's better or worse, long term is up will be determined over the next couple years. But our contract is different. So when people say other JMI schools, they have a different. We are the only school that has a contract that is both the media and the NIL are both with the same company. Yeah, I don't think there's another one and I don't. And so that makes it different.

[Caller]

Okay, So I would suggest everyone check out NIL Store because it is an example of how it. We're getting hurt as fans because they have cool stuff on there. And I'll leave you with this. Mitch Barnhart has made Kentucky Athletics the equivalent of a restaurant with good food and poor service. And at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how good your food is if your service stinks. You guys have a merry Christmas and a great afternoon.

[Matt Jones]

Appreciate it. So, yeah, I mean, I understand that views. I can't do Bob and Jamestown, just.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Put them on shot.

[Matt Jones]

Bob and Jamestown, you have 25 seconds. Go as Mark.

[Caller]

Mark Pope intimidated by Tina. I watched that broadcast of him last night on tv and he was talking.

[Matt Jones]

About like he's a striving street ball.

[Caller]

Talking about his team needed to be explosive and violent.

[Matt Jones]

I thought, what?

[Caller]

What's going on?

[Matt Jones]

And then. Yeah, Charlie. Go ahead, Charlie.

[Caller]

Yeah, Matt. Last night in the volleyball game in the pre show, somebody said the girl for the other team fell when she served the ball. And we didn't get a point, but we did. It took him a long time to put it on the screen.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, we got it. No, we got it. I was just saying I don't know what happened, like how she fell. It was like a floor monster grabbed her. But yeah, we did get a point for. For that.

[Caller]

As far as the rotation goes, they all just amoeba themselves in a corner, but they maintain a proper rotation and when the ball served, they go to wherever they want to go.

[Matt Jones]

Yes. You mean the six that are on the court, right? Yeah. No, I appreciate the call. I meant the rotation of, like people coming in and off the bench. I still don't understand that. And I don't know what the line is for. You know what I mean?

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Which line?

[Shannon]

Line.

[Matt Jones]

The middle of the line. Because, like, I know there are times you can only jump from behind it, but then sometimes they jump in front of it. So I don't know when you can jump in front behind it when you. I don't know.

[Shannon]

You're our volleyball Expert. You're supposed to educate us.

[Matt Jones]

No, I don't know the. The pews. I thought I liked our pews.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

We're not calling them dumps. They're pews.

[Shannon]

We may not win our wins and losses before the season start. I said this was a loss.

[Matt Jones]

I'll stay confident. We get the dub.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

There we go.

[Matt Jones]

We need somebody. Shannon, what do you think?

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Better not ask me if you want to end on a positive note.

[Matt Jones]

Kentucky A and M volleyball. I'll let you go.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Yes.

[Caller/Guest (possibly female, often interjects)]

Kentucky wins their second national title. Let's go.

[Shannon]

Apparently, Kentucky beat him 3. 1. But they lost the first set again and they won three straight. So Kentucky wins.

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

Kentucky's winning it. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

[Matt Jones]

Tag. He's winning. It shouldn't. And I'm really disappointed I won't get to be at the bar. Cause I'm gonna be on a plane to New Orleans. So those of you that go, be loud for me. The moment things start looking bad, kick Drew out.

[Shannon]

Gotcha. Understood.

[Matt Jones]

Kick Drew out. And Ryan, if we win the title, shirt off.

[Shannon]

That's a given.

[Matt Jones]

No, I'm letting you. I'm giving you permission. Normally, I said no. Shirt off at the bar. Shirt off. If we win the title, how about pants off?

[Co-host/Guest (male, sports commentator)]

No. No.

[Matt Jones]

Has to do that. See you tomorrow for the pregame show.
