I'm here in New Orleans and Ryan, I had something uncharacteristic happen to me Friday.
- [04:41]
Drew Franklin
Friday after the show.
- [04:42]
Matt Jones
I guess you're talking about Friday evening. Yes.
- [04:45]
Drew Franklin
Okay. All right.
- [04:46]
Matt Jones
I don't know why you're surprised. The show ends at noon. There's a lot of day left after that.
- [04:50]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. So what was it?
- [04:54]
Matt Jones
I freaked out about this game tomorrow. It was. It was. You know, I don't get nervous. I've really been nervous doing media three times. Okay. First time was the first time I ever did a show on espn. When I did it with that woman, Nicole Briscoe, who did her famous, who the hell is Matt Jones? Right.
- [05:18]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, I remember that.
- [05:20]
Matt Jones
And it was. It was seven o' clock in the morning. And I was nervous. I was okay, though. But, like, I was a little. I was a little nervous. Second time was the first time I hosted my own show on there when I flew up to Bristol to espn. And you guys have been there now, Drew. Like, it's a pretty magical place. I mean, it's. It's a warehouse, but still it's espn. Right, Right. And I had never been in the building. And I walked in and did a show about the NFL, which I didn't know anything about. I was pretty nervous about that. Like, I was very nervous about that. But I got over it. But that was tough. Then the third time was when I went on Bill Maher on hbo.
- [06:05]
Drew Franklin
Right.
- [06:06]
Matt Jones
And you were sitting there with Bill Maher and Katie Couric. Right. Like, that was nerve wracking. But I. Friday night was like, okay, hang on. Because I decided to spend Friday night and Saturday listening, Ryan, to the play by play broadcast of the other college football playoff games on radio.
- [06:26]
Drew Franklin
On radio. It's different. Yeah.
- [06:28]
Matt Jones
On radio. Because I wanted to hear, what do they do? And Friday night was Alabama, Oklahoma. And I turned it on radio and I began to panic because the guy doing it, I don't know who his name was, I never caught it, but he was really good and he was doing stuff that I can't do. He would be like, you know, Ryan Lemon in the shotgun. Two wide receivers to the left, one to the right. Tight end in motion. He's looking at a set, 36 personnel. He signals over to the side. Like, he's saying all this stuff in Ryan. I'm going, I can't do that. Like, I don't know any of those things.
- [07:07]
Drew Franklin
You got to set a little more on radio. You're right.
- [07:09]
Matt Jones
And he. But he was like. And he was talking like a mile a minute. And I go, I don't know if I can do this. Like, I can't. Like, I have to do this and debut on national radio. Plus, I don't know these two teams. And so then I started panicking and I was like, okay, I got to hit the research button. I went to Staples and printed out Drew both teams, media guides and notes.
- [07:36]
Ryan Lemond
Oh, I gotta have the hard copy.
- [07:38]
Matt Jones
Yes. Because, you know, I don't like to read on. On. On Kindle and on computer. I need a hard copy. Went to Staples. Took me an hour to even figure out how to work out the Staples copy machine.
- [07:50]
Ryan Lemond
Last time you've done that.
- [07:52]
Matt Jones
Been a while. All right, Been a while. Get that done. Like. So I spend all weekend highlighting Ryan. I literally muted my television all of Saturday and Sunday and was just calling games out loud.
- [08:07]
Drew Franklin
That's good. You know, a little. Little dress rehearsal, so to speak, but I show.
- [08:12]
Matt Jones
And as it went, I got better. But even yesterday, I'm on the plane and I'm watching the game on the. On the plane and I'm calling the game. I thought in my head, but I actually think I was saying some words out loud as well. Well, now I feel a lot better about it. I found my own pace. Like, I'm gonna talk a lot slower than a lot of these other dudes do, because I don't know as much, to be honest with you. And I'm not panicky now, but Friday night, I called Myron, and I called my friend hubby, and I was like, do you think it's too late for me to get out of this? Because I don't know if I can do this. So I feel better about it. I am still nervous. But tomorrow, it is so crazy to do a skill that you've never done your entire life, and then you have to do it on national radio, talking about two teams that you know nothing about.
- [09:09]
Drew Franklin
I. I'm happy about a couple things. One is that Myron is sitting right beside you. You guys have worked together now for years. You got a good chemistry between each other. You can kind of rely on him to help you. If you get in a situation where you kind of get stuck, you know what I mean?
- [09:22]
Matt Jones
He'll be able to pull you through. But he's never done this either. Yeah, he's never been a color commentator for a football game ever. It's like we have no experience, okay? There's a collective zero game experience between the two of us.
- [09:36]
Drew Franklin
Well, at least it's. You know, it's only on ESPN Radio, kind of a minor outlet. You know, there won't be a whole lot of.
- [09:41]
Matt Jones
I really should have gone and taken up people's offers, Drew, to, like, do a Campbellsville game or something this year. I should have done that.
- [09:49]
Ryan Lemond
Or a high school game. But, you know, you. You. You knock some of it out on the plane. You've got the nerves behind you. All you're doing now is walking into the big game, getting into the booth, and just letting it all out.
- [09:59]
Drew Franklin
Do you have your boards ready? Very major team boards.
- [10:01]
Matt Jones
I have not. Although I bought. I showed them to Drew, tell Ryan what my poster boards are like. I bought. Tom Hart suggested to buy poster boards.
- [10:10]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
- [10:10]
Matt Jones
By the way, Tom Hart got to hear me freak out a little bit, too, because I called Tom Hart and I'm like, why did I do this, Tom? And he's like, you're gonna be fine. And, Tom, you wanna know what Tom's number one piece of advice was? I like this advice. He said, just say what you see. And that sounds simplistic, but it's actually helped a lot. Just what I see there on the screen, just say it. Right. That's. I mean, again, that sounds simplistic. I actually think it's really good advice, Ryan. Just say what you see.
- [10:42]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. Because you're our eyes for the game through the radio, so whatever you see, you can relate to us. Yeah.
- [10:48]
Matt Jones
Just don't sit and worry too much about what you should be saying, Drew. Just say what you see.
- [10:53]
Ryan Lemond
And you're good at painting the scene. So if you get stuck and you need, like, a crutch, just say something about the crowd or.
- [10:59]
Matt Jones
But there's not mean.
- [11:00]
Ryan Lemond
Look. Well, say that. Be like, well, sure, there's a lot of empty seats here, but you. You know how to talk about what's around outside of the football, too, and people will want to hear that.
- [11:09]
Matt Jones
So I have my little poster boards. I'm gonna work on that today, which is where for people who don't know that Tom Leach, he does these and he. He gives them away sometimes after games, which is like his. You know, here's the roster, here's their numbers, here's little facts about them. Ryan, I'm working on that today, but I have to, like. Like, you'd be doing a presentation in, like, fifth grade. Two poster boards it is.
- [11:32]
Drew Franklin
And, you know, if you've been around Tom, when he does a game, he's very meticulous on his poster boards. And I think he got those. That idea from K would. I think K would kind of taught him how to do that.
- [11:39]
Matt Jones
K Wood is. I don't think K would have ever thought it would go to the New Orleans bowl, but it is going to the New Orleans Bowl. I'm meeting with the. When this show ends, I'm meeting with the Southern or Western Kentucky coaching staff. Don't know what I'm gonna say to those guys. But, you know, had a good year, right? Yes. Well, they come into the year 8 and 4. They did lose their last two games, right? Southern Miss lost their last three games. They have a new coach. Their coach left for Memphis. These Are all things you'll learn on the broadcast.
- [12:10]
Drew Franklin
Great, great. You'll do fine. You'll be just fine. Like I said.
- [12:13]
Matt Jones
But for people who listen to this show and who are like, they hear me, like, always be confident. Like, this is like, I'm. I'm nervous. The only time I can remember being as nervous as I was Friday night was the very first NFL show where Dan Orlovsky and I sat in like a room next to the studio, both of us freaking out. We had just met each other and both of us freaking out because Dan had never done radio and I had never been on espn. And we both were like, all right, I know I just met you, but we got it. And of course it's worked out for him. He's a huge star now.
- [12:55]
Drew Franklin
So do you have an on the field reporter too you can toss to?
- [12:59]
Matt Jones
No, we do not Just us, no experts, no sideline reporters, just me and him. And once that train takes off, Drew, it ain't stopping for three and a half hours.
- [13:16]
Ryan Lemond
I think you're going to end up loving it. Now, you might not want to do it again over and over, but you know, you admire and have been doing this for a long time and you'll get goofy with it if you have to. It sounds like they're not gonna let you take calls. Did you get that cleared up?
- [13:27]
Matt Jones
Haven't heard. I'll find out today in the production meeting. I don't know if they're gonna let me take calls or not, but you guys, I'm definitely. Text machine. I'm gonna read stuff from the text machine.
- [13:37]
Drew Franklin
That's good. Good idea.
- [13:38]
Matt Jones
So the game starts at 5:30 now, UK plays at 1. There's a good chance that the post game show. Which. Who is hosting the postgame show? Which one of you is hosting that?
- [13:48]
Drew Franklin
Me and Billy.
- [13:51]
Matt Jones
Ryan, you and Billy is a good chance. Like that'll be ending almost right as I'm starting.
- [13:57]
Drew Franklin
Perfect. Perfect.
- [14:00]
Matt Jones
So. And it's 5:30 till probably 8:30 or 9. So if you.
- [14:04]
Drew Franklin
I got more question for you. You know, usually they have you got a little time for a little intro before the game starts. You're gonna write it down. You're just gonna wing something. Well, even Tom would write it down.
- [14:13]
Matt Jones
They said that it depends on what happens in the game before that Louisville, Toledo game. Okay, so if that game goes long, we won't. We, you know, just depends on Louisville and Toledo. So I'm going to say to Louisville and Toledo, play slow.
- [14:29]
Ryan Lemond
Tell Vince those are his teams.
- [14:31]
Matt Jones
Take as much time as you need, guys. We'll be fine. Who's next? Read is up next. Read. Go ahead, Reed.
- [14:39]
Caller
Good morning, guys. How are y' all this morning?
- [14:42]
Matt Jones
Good. Good morning.
- [14:44]
Caller
Hey, we had an awesome time. My wife and I and daughter and son in law with Atlanta stayed at the Westin and I. We loved the damn game. It was an awesome game.
- [14:56]
Matt Jones
It was.
- [14:57]
Caller
And it was. It was awesome. I mean, we got there early, we went out, we went up there Thursday night and then come back yesterday. And it was awesome. We were facing the crowd. My son in law was telling me said he, I can't believe how much crowd y' all got. I said, well, both of my daughter and son in law graduated from Auburn. We live in Opelika, Alabama. So, yeah, he couldn't believe it.
- [15:23]
Matt Jones
But yeah, well, I mean, I heard there was like 70, 70% Kentucky fans. And when the Kentucky game started, it was all Kentucky fans. Now Carolina had some people. A little later, I heard Ohio State. One guy said he didn't see one Ohio State fan the whole day. So that's always been like that with him. They just don't travel at all. Anything else?
- [15:46]
Caller
I guess that's it. Just enjoy your show as usual. But we're appreciated about. So we appreciate.
- [15:52]
Matt Jones
Enjoy your holidays. Merry Christmas. Who's up next? Up next is Kentucky Gas Man. Kentucky Gas man. Go ahead. 859-280-2287.
- [16:04]
Caller
Yeah, I got two things. First of all, I want to say congratulations to the volleyball team. Man, what an awesome, awesome season. I've been more into volleyball this year. I probably ever have just three losses on a season. That's awesome.
- [16:18]
Matt Jones
Totally agree.
- [16:20]
Caller
Secondly. Secondly, I want to say to Rick Patino's press conference, I really feel like that he is just taken up for his former player from the booze that they received from the Gonzaga game. Now, I know that he said media and but I really feel like, you know, Rick thinks that we can't think for our own sometimes. Like the media is trying to put a narrative to us and that's why we say what we say. But, you know, we're Kentucky. We know basketball. You know, we see when the effort's not there, we see the mannerisms between the players. And I just, I just want to say, Rick, no parent needed. Stay in your lane.
- [17:07]
Matt Jones
I totally agree with you about that. By the way. I appreciate the call. You know, Bruce Pearl said during the game, one of the things I did hear him say is that he thought we had the most intelligent fan base in the country when it comes to Basketball. I agree with that. I like Rick Patino again. I think it's cool that Rick Pitino and Kentucky fans get along again. But, Drew, I don't need Rick Patino to be the lecturer for how we should act. No offense to Rick Patino, but. But you ain't exactly Mr. Perfect. You've done some actions constantly that are kind of embarrassing. We don't need you lecturing us on how to act. I have mixed emotions about whether or not people should have booed. But you know what? We don't need you to tell us what we need to do. I'm glad to have you back. I'm glad to have you kind of as our friend. But I don't need to be told the way Kentucky fans need to feel or the way Kentucky fans need to have by outsiders. I keep saying this. We said it to Seth Greenberg a couple years ago. Y' all are not part of this. You coach St. John's you worry about St. John's you can be nice when you want to be nice because it's helpful. But I don't need you telling us how to fan. That's the end of my sentence.
- [18:16]
Ryan Lemond
Rick's been doing that since Pope got the job. I felt like he put out a video every month last year for Kentucky fans when he was the head coach of St. John's remember, he told us how to welcome John Caliperi before the Kentucky Arkansas game. It's like, what do you. Why are you talking about us?
- [18:29]
Matt Jones
I don't. All these coaches, I don't like when John Caliperi used to tell us what we should do to Bruce. Like, y' all are not in charge. We are adults, okay? Everybody can act how they want. You are not the moral police of telling people you're not here and you're not a fan. And people are going to do what they do.
- [18:50]
Drew Franklin
And everybody.
- [18:51]
Matt Jones
It's easy to blame the media. All the media. The media. People do what they want, okay? They do what they want. And so you can blame us if you want, but people have their own minds, and they're gonna do what they do. We'll take a break. 859-280-2287. Kentucky Sports Radio.

Matt Jones
Techie Sports Radio Pain, stiffness or numbing sensation is presenting you for preventing you from enjoying watching your favorite teams compete. Go to Court Physical Therapy Court has been Kentucky's Go to Physical Therapy group to help athletes, fans and average Joes get rid of aches and pains and get back to what they love. It's court.com that's k o r t dot com. Don't be in pain. Go to court.com One person writes, Matt, you comparing yourself to the guy that calls the playoff game would be like me comparing my offensive rebound to Jaden Quaintance. You can't hold yourself to that standard. Well, that's true, but Drew, like, you know, you want to be as good as you can. I needed to hear somebody bad. You and I talked about this on Cover Zero last night. I should have found a way to listen to somebody who wasn't good at it. But I don't. You know, I don't know who those people are, but I. Because. Because trying to hold yourself to the high standard is kind of difficult.
- [22:47]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, you might not be Ian Eagle right away or even Tom Hart, but you'll. You'll find your groove there. Have you. Before the play actually starts, you know, you got to know some formations. Have you found your groove? How you're going to actually like the info you're going to give. I mean, do you know what you'll say?
- [23:02]
Matt Jones
Like, I started to figure out, especially yesterday, I started to figure out things you can say besides the formations. So, like, I heard one guy, Ryan, he would say things like, he looks to the other side of the line, he sees six guy, he sees six players staring back at him, looking blitz. I was like, oh, I like that.
- [23:21]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, you can say that every. You say that every. Every play. How are we going to know we're on radio.
- [23:25]
Matt Jones
Yeah, you can say. And then that's the other thing. If I get it wrong, Ryan, who's going to know they can't see.
- [23:32]
Ryan Lemond
This for TV and you're calling out the wrong thing. They'd be like, this guy doesn't know ball. But you are the whole story for them. So whatever you say, they're just going to have to take his fact.
- [23:40]
Drew Franklin
Now, didn't you say the other shows are also doing games? Like, did you get played by play guys?
- [23:45]
Matt Jones
They get played. They didn't give us. So that was the thing. These other shows are doing it, but they got play by play guys. For some reason they didn't give us one. So, yeah, I mean, the game right before us is a show so that Louisville, Toledo games being called by Evan Cohen and Freddie Coleman, but they got Chris Carlin to call play by play. We don't have anybody like that feels.
- [24:08]
Ryan Lemond
Like a setup I smell a setup here.
- [24:10]
Matt Jones
Maybe it is, but I'm going to put it in their face. The thing I have to do. This is the part that's difficult for me. Ryan. This was the advice Tom said. He was like, go slow. He was like, it's. There's a lot of time. Go slow. Like, I talk fast. I talk very fast. I think you're gonna hear me be a lot slower tomorrow because it'll fill up more time.
- [24:32]
Drew Franklin
Right.
- [24:33]
Matt Jones
You know what I mean? Because I don't have enough stuff to talk as fast as I normally do. So talk slow.
- [24:38]
Drew Franklin
Especially like you just said, like before the play, you know, go slow. Setting it up.
- [24:42]
Matt Jones
Go slow. Exactly right. And I have facts about Hattiesburg and Bowling Green. The bad sign will be, though, if we're halfway through the second quarter, Drew, and I've used all of your facts.
- [24:54]
Public Investing Announcer
Are you.
- [24:54]
Ryan Lemond
Do you want a close game so you have something to talk about football wise or a blowout so you can talk about random things?
- [25:00]
Matt Jones
I want a game that goes quick. That's the key. I think I'd rather have a blowout because then Ryan and I can just talk about others. Ryan, excuse me, Myron and I can just talk about other things.
- [25:10]
Drew Franklin
That's where you guys use your expertise, you know, off the cuff stuff.

Matt Jones
I think a close game, which is important, bleeding into prime time is what I. Is not necessarily what I'm looking for. What do you think about Ed Cooley throwing a water bottle into the stand at the end of the game and hitting a child? That.
- [25:30]
Ryan Lemond
You shouldn't throw the bottle ever. But why is he throwing a line drive into the seats just to behind him? At least put some arch, lob it a little bit so it'll get up in the air. I mean, he just threw a missile right at the kid and hit him in the chest. I think the kid took a little bit of a dive. I think they said something about maybe a concussion. I don't think it hit him in the head, but that's what.
- [25:48]
Matt Jones
They didn't say concussion, did they?
- [25:50]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, I think. I think mom is claiming concussion on that.
- [25:53]
Matt Jones
Wow. Wow. I didn't hear that. Mom is Clay. Well, so is that. Is that set up for a lawsuit, you think?
- [26:02]
Drew Franklin
Sounds like if she's claiming concussion from getting hit with a water bottle like that.
- [26:06]
Matt Jones
So he was on the road, right? That was a road game.
- [26:10]
Drew Franklin
I'm not sure where it was because they played. They played.
- [26:14]
Matt Jones
They lost. Xavier. You're right. It was Savior. Yeah, it was Xavier. Yes. And Xavier's Bad, too.
- [26:25]
Ryan Lemond
And where that family was sitting, they were like two seats behind the bench. Is that a booster or a parent? Like, that's. That wasn't just average seats. You'd almost have to know those people, I would think.
- [26:36]
Matt Jones
Wow. So he's going to be suspended, right? You can't be throwing.
- [26:41]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
- [26:42]
Matt Jones
Especially if it was now. If it was full, that could be really heavy, you know?
- [26:48]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah. What did he think it was going to land? Like, there's a high probability you're hitting someone when you turn and throw it into the crowd.
- [26:55]
Matt Jones
Yeah.
- [26:55]
Drew Franklin
Not throw it at the ground. He threw it in the crowd. Knowing is going to hit somebody really, really dumb.
- [27:01]
Matt Jones
Who's next? Ed is up next. Ed. Go ahead, Ed.
- [27:06]
Caller
Hey, man. Three points. First point. With JLO running the offense, as long as he's healthy, I don't think we need to worry about shooters. We got plenty of good shooters. They'll get good shots if they're running. The offensive weight needs to run.
- [27:22]
Matt Jones
I hope you're right. I hope you're right about that. I think that's very possible. We need more. We need more games to figure it out, but go ahead. Second thing.
- [27:33]
Caller
Yes. Second point. Just wait till Jaden Quaintance shakes off the rust and gets in game shape. If you think he looked good Saturday, that's true.
- [27:45]
Matt Jones
You're exactly right about that. 10 and 8 in 15 minutes in his first game. It does make you excited about the future.
- [27:51]
Caller
What's your third, Matt, don't, don't, don't sweat doing this football game, buddy. You just be you. Have fun, be you. Don't try to overthink it. And I got to do this and that. Just be you, Matt Jones, and you'll do great.
- [28:06]
Matt Jones
That's very nice of you. Thank you. Part of the nervousness is for the. I've worked it. I'm just, you know, I'm being honest. I've worked at ESPN for eight years. No one knows who I am there. And for the very first time in those eight years, there started to be conversations where, like, people that matter now know who I am. And I think they've put us on this as, like, all right, let's see what these guys can do. And that's part of what makes me nervous, because if they put us on something that's, like, in my talent set, I'd be like, bring it on. But they're putting us something in something that I've never done, and that really isn't in my talent set. But I feel like I need to do well, because there are people paying attention to us that have never done that before. And so that's why it's a little bit nerve wracking, just being honest. We'll take a break. Be right back. Ksr. Welcome back. Techie Sports Radio. Ed Cooley has been suspended for one game. Apparently hit a kid. Ryan, that was a kid that was part of the Georgetown boosters. So that probably keeps them from getting sued, but probably also doesn't. Doesn't help.
- [29:24]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. The fact you hit a kid, regardless who the booster is, mama ain't gonna be happy.
- [29:29]
Matt Jones
All right. I don't know if I would call this. Can we. We can. This isn't breaking news, but it's probably breaking scuttlebutt. Do we have a sound for breaking scuttlebutt? Would you like to create one? Drew, what's a breaking scuttlebutt sound? Wah.
- [29:45]
Drew Franklin
Nee.
- [29:46]
Matt Jones
Na na.
- [29:48]
Ryan Lemond
It's like halfway.
- [29:49]
Matt Jones
Na, like, do it. As a question, Joe Tipton of On3Sports writes on KS Board that Kentucky is considering bringing in a point guard to be a backup mid season. Wow. And then it would. And Jacob Polachek adds, if it happens, it would likely be an international. What do we think about that?
- [30:22]
Ryan Lemond
The moment Low got hurt, I said the next day, someone should already be on a flight to Europe looking for anyone that wants to play college basketball. I know you worry about chemistry concerns and you've got Jasper Johnson there who thinks he could be the guy, but I like the idea of trying to find help because Low, as we saw, is just so fragile, and that would derail the season if you lost him.
- [30:43]
Matt Jones
So would you do that, Ryan? Would you bring in a person from Slovenia or something halfway through the year?
- [30:50]
Drew Franklin
I don't know, man. That's. That. That's tough to bring him in the middle of the year when you've got guys who've been battling since.
- [30:55]
Matt Jones
But what do we have to lose? I mean, who's. Who's playing backup point guard now?
- [31:01]
Drew Franklin
I don't like the Denzel Aberdeen experience, but I do like the Jasper Johnson experience. I would go with him.
- [31:06]
Matt Jones
You just like him, though, because you've known him since he were a kid. Like, I mean, I say that with love to you, but what has Jasper Johnson done to show he's a backup point guard at Kentucky right now? I mean, I want Jasper Johnson to play because I like Jasper Johnson as a player. But do you really trust him to run this team if Jalen Lowe gets hurt?
- [31:27]
Drew Franklin
I trust him over anybody else we got at this moment as the point guard.
- [31:30]
Matt Jones
That's why we might want to add somebody.
- [31:32]
Drew Franklin
I think he still, he may be second on the team in assists and very limited minutes. He can still do that part of it as a point guard. Just do this.
- [31:40]
Matt Jones
Then let's. Let's maybe do well, but that's pretty important.
- [31:43]
Drew Franklin
Let's do.
- [31:44]
Matt Jones
Let.
- [31:44]
Drew Franklin
Let.
- [31:45]
Matt Jones
Let's do a vote. Would you rather have them go get an international guy or rely on Aberdeen, Chandler and Johnson going forward?
- [31:53]
Ryan Lemond
Drew, I would say add someone even G league. I mean, somebody was a usc. Somebody just added a play. Okay, well, regardless, I would love a backup plan if they can get one.
- [32:06]
Matt Jones
Ron, you would say stick with what we got?
- [32:09]
Drew Franklin
I would, yes.
- [32:11]
Matt Jones
Okay. I say go get somebody. What would you say? Set. Let's do a text machine vote here. 777-277-45254. Would you rather stick with what we got or try to bring in. Because we got two weeks off here, try to bring in a mid. A mid season guy to be the backup point guard. Really good question. 772-277-4-5-254. Who's up next? Cadence is up next. Cadence. Go ahead, Cadence.
- [32:38]
Caller
What's up, guys? I got two things to say. All right? First thing, that I think you're gonna do great tomorrow. Personally, you've probably been doing this for a while, so I think you're gonna. It'll just be natural when you start and then.
- [32:51]
Matt Jones
Thank you.
- [32:52]
Caller
Second thing I want to say is that we need to probably bring in an international guy because what I think is that Jasper Johnson is a really good player. I think he. I mean, we saw him play like high school and ote and all that, and he was really good. But I think that he's gonna have to take some time to develop into a point guard. Like we need him to be in college, so it's going to be a different thing for him. But also if we bring in an international guy, they'll have the experience. Playing in Europe is a different animal than playing here. And so I just think it might be better for the team.
- [33:30]
Matt Jones
Yeah, I appreciate the call. I'd like to, I just think more options give you. I mean, I think we've given. I guess I would look at it like this, Drew. We've given the Aberdeen Chandler thing about as much. It's just not working. You know, I do think there's an argument that if Low didn't come back, the next option would have been, let's just go with Jasper Johnson, see what happens. But I don't know man, true freshman. This team has got so much talent in other places that I'd rather just have somebody that I thought could unlock it.
- [34:00]
Ryan Lemond
And we got a little taste of what it could look like when everybody thought Lowe was done, when he went to the tunnel. And what they have 25 points at halftime. I mean, they were taking horrible shots. That was some of the worst offense we've seen all year. And then luckily they turned it on in the second half. But if that's what it's going to look like if you don't have Low, I just think you need another body to help out.
- [34:17]
Drew Franklin
You worry about, you worry about you may lose some of the locker room if you bring in somebody new here at Christmas. These guys have been battling.
- [34:26]
Matt Jones
I mean, you're, you're losing the guys that aren't playing. If you do that.
- [34:30]
Drew Franklin
Well, do you want, do you take that?
- [34:32]
Matt Jones
Who are you losing? Like, seriously, who are you? Like, what happens if you do that?
- [34:37]
Drew Franklin
You know, I think Aberdeen's minutes go down, Jasper's minutes go down, Colin Chandler's minutes go down.
- [34:42]
Matt Jones
But none of those guys have been good. If they were good, we wouldn't need them. I mean, how long do we have to sit and wait for Chandler to make shots? Right?
- [34:54]
Drew Franklin
I mean, I love three point shooter, the going, you know, most of the season.
- [34:57]
Matt Jones
But he wouldn't, he didn't shoot.
- [34:59]
Drew Franklin
Did he shoot one against St. John's oh, of one?
- [35:04]
Matt Jones
I don't know, man. I mean, like, it's not like we've been killed. Listen, if Jalen Low plays, I guess I would look at it like this if you promised me we had Jalen Lowe for the rest of the year, then Drew, I would say we don't need to go get anybody, but we've got to plan for the contingency that he could get hurt, right?
- [35:25]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
- [35:25]
Ryan Lemond
This team has the ultimate goal that they're still trying to reach. And Chandler, Aberdeen and Johnson all had several games in the non conference against teams ranked 250th to show that they can be a primary ball handler and lead the offense. And none of them really got it going in the opportunities they had so far.
- [35:43]
Matt Jones
Yeah, I mean, it depends on who it is, but that's a whiny nah, nah. And we'll see if it ends up happening. What's next? Rick is up next. Rick. Go ahead, Rick.
- [35:54]
Caller
Yes, sir. Merry Christmas to everybody.
- [35:58]
Matt Jones
Merry Christmas.
- [35:58]
Caller
Somebody spoke on it about the interview after the game with Low and jq. JQ thanked every one of his trainers for getting him Back.
- [36:09]
Matt Jones
Yes.
- [36:10]
Caller
Which I thought was awful nice.
- [36:11]
Matt Jones
I did, too.
- [36:13]
Caller
Low finally figured out what Catalina was. He said he was asking in the motel, what do you mean, Catalina? He said, after this, I figured out what it is. He said, we've got the best fan base in any sport now. Yeah. I hadn't heard nobody speak on it today, so.
- [36:30]
Matt Jones
Yeah, you're right. He said both those things, that. Both those comments were very cool. I appreciate the call, Rick. It was nice that Pope brought up Drew, the trainers, as in the post game, because they had gotten both those guys back on the court. And then it was it what it did feel like Low was almost like, oh, this is the UK fan base.
- [36:51]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah. He got a nice wake up with that. And then I liked with the training staff. They, like, stood behind Quaintance and Low during the press conference wearing matching shirts, almost like they were part of the entourage. It was neat for them to get their moment because they've been getting a lot of criticism with how banged up this team's been, but they were huge in getting Quaint and ready ahead of SEC schedule.
- [37:10]
Matt Jones
Probably 9010 Ryan to bring somebody in.
- [37:14]
Drew Franklin
And I can see why they say that. I'm just. I just have other worries if they do that.
- [37:20]
Matt Jones
It sounds like you have a worry, though. A specific one.
- [37:23]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, I mean, we just got over some locker room issues. I don't want to start some more locker room issues, you know.
- [37:31]
Ryan Lemond
But if we already had locker room issues, what's it hurt? We're not. We're not breaking something that was already.
- [37:36]
Drew Franklin
That's true. Food.
- [37:37]
Matt Jones
I mean. But let's say we don't do it. And on January 19th against Mississippi State, Lows out for the year. Aren't you going to wish you had done it?
- [37:47]
Drew Franklin
If he's better than what we've got, it'd be hard to argue that for sure.
- [37:52]
Matt Jones
Yeah. 859-280-2287. We. I got one thing, Kentucky fans, I would. I think I would like for you to do. I'm told through the grapevine that our friends at Sissy Cakes are being negatively bombed by Louisville fans on Google. Oh.
- [38:10]
Ryan Lemond
Oh, that's messed up.
- [38:12]
Drew Franklin
No.
- [38:13]
Matt Jones
Google on Louisville. Excuse me. On Google. Louisville fans are leaving negative reviews on Sissy Cakes just to get at the fact that Will Stein's the coach. We have to counter this. Okay. Will Stein's mom, she came on the show so nice. She brought cakes to the bar. We're even considering selling Sissy cakes at the bar after Christmas, like during games and stuff. But more importantly, Google reviews can have a huge impact on people's business, especially fake ones. So I'm asking Ryan, for UK fans to counter the Louisville bombing.
- [38:53]
Drew Franklin
Yes.
- [38:53]
Matt Jones
With positive bombing. So that we don't allow Louisville fans to ruin the good name of the Sissy cakes.
- [39:02]
Drew Franklin
I'm going to do it during the commercial break. I'm going to live a leave a very positive review for them.
- [39:07]
Matt Jones
Drew, do you agree?
- [39:08]
Ryan Lemond
Yes. I'm gonna leave a positive review. But this also. We'll get it back with our reviews. But this is messed up by Louisville. This is a local business. Right. By Trinity, which you all adore. And you're gonna try to tear them down just because Will Stein took a job. Shame on all of them that have done that.
- [39:22]
Matt Jones
Shame on all of them.
- [39:23]
Drew Franklin
Shame on them.
- [39:24]
Matt Jones
Shame. And I've had a cake and it was good. I don't even like cake and I thought it was good. So, yes, we're going to fix that Cakes. And Louisville fans, you should be ashamed. I support your local Louisville businesses. Even the ones that don't take. They only take cash like Bonnie and clients. That guy's not even nice. So Will Stein's mom is nice. You should be ashamed. We'll take a break. Be right back. It's ksr.

Coca-Cola Announcer
What a matchup we got, y'.
- [39:55]
Matt Jones
All.
- [39:55]
Coca-Cola Announcer
This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance echo drum beat. Everybody showing that school pride. Game like this. Yeah, it calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Ashley fans, school colors everywhere. And an ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo. No matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.

Back to Kentucky Sports Radio 859-280-2287. The holidays are full of hustle and bustle, but UK Federal Credit Union believes in slowing down to find the joy in the season. Whether that's sharing a meal with friends, giving back to those in need, or embracing loyal loved ones. Be the Joy around Kentucky It's UK Credit Union the official credit union of Joy. It is UK Credit Union Membership Eligibility Required Required federally insured by NCUA I'm told by people that on the Google reviews you don't want to give them all at once because people then like they look at it and say that, you know, they think it can be fraudulent. So spread it out over the holiday season.
- [43:33]
Drew Franklin
Aha.
- [43:34]
Matt Jones
Okay, so don't put them all right now and maybe even better go get it. Or if you've had it, talk about what you've done. But don't do it all at once. They'll be less likely to consider them. That's what.
- [43:45]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, they'll flag that and throw them all out. I'll wait and do mine on Christmas morning when I'm filming.
- [43:50]
Matt Jones
Yeah, wait and do yours over a course of time. No reason to do it right now. Spread it over the course of the next week. You can think about it and do it. How about that?
- [44:00]
Drew Franklin
Right?
- [44:00]
Matt Jones
You haven't done your job.
- [44:01]
Ryan Lemond
Let's make sure we do it.
- [44:02]
Drew Franklin
I did mine on Yelp. I haven't got to Google yet.
- [44:05]
Matt Jones
Well, take your time then. On Google. Yeah. Somebody sent me some of these. These Louisville fans are mean. I don't like them. Boo. It's a nice.
- [44:15]
Drew Franklin
You may tell you what I wrote here on Yelp.
- [44:18]
Matt Jones
I mean, if you must.
- [44:19]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. Sissy cakes is awesome. They're like a five star quarterback. Their cakes are so, so, so, so good. It's like Walt Disney World in your mouth. I love them. You will, too.
- [44:29]
Matt Jones
It's like, what? Walt Disney in your mouth?
- [44:32]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
- [44:33]
Ryan Lemond
Oh, delete.
- [44:34]
Drew Franklin
That's our. Too late. It's already posted.
- [44:37]
Matt Jones
You. Did you at least put world at the end? You didn't just say Walt Disney.
- [44:40]
Drew Franklin
I said Walt Disney World. Yes.
- [44:42]
Matt Jones
Okay.
- [44:43]
Ryan Lemond
Big, big word there.
- [44:45]
Matt Jones
That's a big difference. First of all, just stop with your stop.
- [44:52]
Drew Franklin
That's how I feel about what I.
- [44:54]
Matt Jones
Just don't feel like. Why do you have to say mouth?
- [44:58]
Drew Franklin
Because you eat in your mouth.
- [45:00]
Ryan Lemond
But why is Walt Disney?
- [45:01]
Matt Jones
It doesn't say Drew. Am I wrong with him? Walt Disney World in your mouth Sounds gross.
- [45:07]
Ryan Lemond
He did find a way to make a simple review of a cake shop seem a little risque.
- [45:13]
Matt Jones
It's uncomfortable.
- [45:15]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah. What he does.
- [45:16]
Matt Jones
All right. Chicago Bears made the playoffs Saturday night.
- [45:20]
Drew Franklin
With how they win that game. How in the world did they win that game?
- [45:26]
Matt Jones
I don't know, but it was awesome. And the pass from Caleb Williams in overtime, that might be the most exciting win of my lifetime. I mean, you know they won the Super Bowl. Well, why are you laughing? What's a better one? I mean, they won the super bowl, but they won it like 46 to 10. Like, that game wasn't close. Yeah, I was a little kid, so I can't think of a more exciting win in my lifetime.
- [45:50]
Drew Franklin
Well, they were down 10 with like two minutes to go and somehow end up winning the game in overtime.
- [45:54]
Matt Jones
Got the onside kick. He made that crazy throw in regulation where he threw off his back foot to the back of the end zone.
- [46:01]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
- [46:02]
Matt Jones
And then the Bomb at the end.
- [46:04]
Drew Franklin
Wow.
- [46:05]
Matt Jones
How could you not say it was the best? I thought it was awesome practicing. I was practicing calling that game and I yelled.
- [46:15]
Ryan Lemond
With everything at stake. I mean you get the onside kick and then on that fourth down it was an all out blitz and he's backpedaling and just makes the perfect throw to get the touchdown. I, I'm a neutral observer and I've really gotten into the Bears this year. They're a fun young team that I think can really contend.
- [46:30]
Drew Franklin
And the pack when I call these.
- [46:31]
Matt Jones
Games, by the way, when I call these games, I don't know all these players on the teams so I just give them your alls names, right?
- [46:38]
Drew Franklin
Might as well.
- [46:39]
Matt Jones
So I'll be like, you know, Mattier throws to Drew Franklin, 6 yards. He got, you know, like I, I, I do that because I don't know their names. So you all have caught a lot of passes and the last few days.
- [46:49]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [46:50]
Drew Franklin
How about the, the heaters on the packers sideline just happen to go out and it's seven degrees out, things break.
- [46:56]
Matt Jones
Okay.
- [46:57]
Drew Franklin
Okay. Yeah. Not on the Bear sideline and packers sideline.
- [47:02]
Matt Jones
Well, that line, that, that one was fixed. I don't think the Bears should have to be cold just because the packers are cold.
- [47:09]
Drew Franklin
Just half, half the people, wink, wink.
- [47:12]
Ryan Lemond
No reason.
- [47:13]
Matt Jones
This is not communism. We don't all have to be the same temperature. Who's up next? Dallas is up next. Dallas. Go ahead, Dallas.

Caller
All right. Hello. I just was listening to your remarks about you being nervous about your radio debut. I have a suggestion for you if I may give it to you. You can ignore it, of course, but if you are able to, you could possibly give Tom Hammond a call. I think he has quite a story about when he first called the Olympics for NBC or ABC or whoever it was, and about how he knew absolutely nothing about the sport that he was going to be calling on worldwide Olympics at that time. And then I think that would, he might have some advice. He might not, I don't know.
- [48:09]
Matt Jones
I think it's a good idea. It's a good idea wise for Middlesbrough.

Okay. I suggest to you, and I'm only mainly a TV watcher of sports, but I suggest to you that you, when you're calling the game, you call the game. Nobody really cares if you or your partner played college football somewhere or whatever. They just want to hear about the game itself and the players. And as that's the way I feel about it.
- [48:44]
Matt Jones
So that's another I understand that. Appreciate, appreciate the call. I will probably have to talk about other things because I don't know enough about the actual game. Again, the difficulty for me is not knowing football. I think I know enough to get through it. The difficulty is literally the mechanics calling a game. That's what makes me nervous. It's like it reminds me when Ryan, you start on television, it's not being entertaining. That was hard for me. It was literally reading off the teleprompter. Yeah. Like I'd never done that before. I ended up having to just stop doing it because I wasn't good at it.

Drew Franklin
I think maybe after a quarter you'll settle in a little bit and find your groove and figure out what.
- [49:23]
Matt Jones
Yeah, we'll settle in. Yeah, we'll settle in like Jalen Lowe did, right? Just settle in, settle in and then we'll start. We'll start doing our thing. DraftKings. Let's pick a couple of games, go to DraftKings.com, bet two, five dollars and if you win, you'll get $300 in bonus bets. Let's start with the famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Washington State and Utah State. Who you got? Ryan.
- [49:46]
Drew Franklin
Let's go Washington State.
- [49:47]
Matt Jones
Why not Washington State? What about you, Drew?
- [49:51]
Ryan Lemond
Let's go Washington State. I still feel bad their conference left them. They need some happiness.
- [49:55]
Matt Jones
I'm going to take Utah State. You know their former coaches, Blake Anderson, the current coach of Southern Miss. Just in case anybody, I mean prob knew that. But now I know it, so that's good. Monday Night Football. 49ers at Colts, Old Man Rivers at home in a must win game. Drew, does he wit? Does the 78 year old quarterback get the victory?
- [50:15]
Ryan Lemond
You know what? I'm so excited to watch this and I'm a Colts hater. Even though it sounds crazy, I think they get the win. And he looks even better than he did last week.
- [50:26]
Drew Franklin
Colts get the win and he throws the over, whatever the over under is. He goes over.
- [50:31]
Matt Jones
49Ers win by 30 and he is having. He hobbles off the field after getting injured in the second quarter.
- [50:38]
Ryan Lemond
That's probably the most likely result.
- [50:40]
Matt Jones
I'm just telling you. I think that unfortunately is the most likely result. Tomorrow during your all's postgame show, I will call in from the booth because it'll be right before we're starting.
- [50:49]
Drew Franklin
Perfect. Perfect.
