  • Arkansas scored 108 points in their last game but previously lost by 22. Matt Jones says, “I don’t think any of the teams in the SEC are really good... all the teams are beatable. The problem we have is that we play those teams drew on the road. So that makes it harder.”

[Shannon Dawson]

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

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. Text machine is 772-774-5254. Cats on the heels of a very big victory tonight is trivia. I still have questions to write. Do you have any? Well, I can't ask you for suggestions because you're playing, but I'm a little behind on them. I might have to. I'm gonna have to spend this afternoon doing it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. You said you're gonna try to write some during the game last night.

[Matt Jones]

I wrote about half of them. Did you? I got so excited, I couldn't, like, when it was over. I was planning on, you know, writing them, but then I'm so worked up and I'm like, you know, ready to rock. And there you go.

[Ryan Lemond]

Was there a UK basketball?

[Matt Jones]

There's one. There'll be a UK basketball. Person writes, Arkansas scored 108 points. Do we have any chance of beating them? Well, I mean, it's not likely because it's down there, but I mean, they scored 108 and 1 by 35 last night. They also, the game before lost by 22. So, you know, I mean, like, these teams, I, I don't think any of the teams in the SEC are really good. And so I think all the teams in the SEC are beatable. The problem we have is that we play those teams drew on the road. So that makes it harder.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. And I will tip the cap to Cal in Arkansas on having one of Cal's freshmen. That Acuff dude is the real deal. He had 13 assists and zero turnovers last night. He just, he might be the SEC player of the year. And we know that's part of the problem here. We weren't getting those dogs and Cal finally went and got him one in Arkansas. That proves to be one of those elite guys that he was good with.

[Matt Jones]

He's great. He's, he's, he is one of the real deal point Guards for them. Look at the nice baby there. Keeping it from being cold. How sweet is that? All right, so, Mario, big question coming in from the text machine. What is Mario's opinion on whether or not he should go with Bob and James down to the alien show?

[Ryan Lemond]

Now, there's some stipulations. He doesn't have to ride with Bob, right?

[Matt Jones]

He can drive to ride with Bob.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

I would not put that on on anyone could go enjoy it. I think film and then get good content. What do you think, Drew? Does he. Does he go to the alien show?

[Drew Franklin]

Well, for one, it's not just aliens. It's ghosts too.

[Matt Jones]

Let's.

[Drew Franklin]

Let's put some respect on the event. If I'm Mario, I'm just. I'm just watching my social media views go up. If I make this trip. I mean, the engagement you're gonna get on this. What are the impressions? Is that what we're looking at? Think of all the impressions, Mario.

[Matt Jones]

Think of all the views. Think of all the. Think about. And what if you discover new research into ghosts?

[Drew Franklin]

It can open your mind to new things.

[Matt Jones]

So are you in or are you out, Mario? He's in.

[Drew Franklin]

I did not expect it.

[Caller/Bob]

Wow.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon. I expected a no.

[Shannon Dawson]

I would like. I would like to think that Mario would have something better to do than to go to that on a Saturday, but I guess he doesn't.

[Matt Jones]

He does not. Well, plus, he can go and he can be back by that evening for all his dates. So that we got.

[Drew Franklin]

He's bourbon and bubbling that night.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, he's got bourbon and bubbles.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

You gotta get back for bourbon bubbles.

[Matt Jones]

Bourbon and bubble set. So, like, he'll be back. Oh, and think of all the stories he'll have for his. His four girlfriends. It'll be awesome.

[Ryan Lemond]

I. I recommend that he find somebody to go with him. And he mentioned Paul Bingles Paul maybe going with.

[Matt Jones]

Hey, Bingles Paul. Is he gonna go? Did he say he would go? Oh, you and Bingles Paul would be a great duo for. For the road trip.

[Drew Franklin]

I think we did hear from Bob again, to be honest.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

See what he thinks about it.

[Matt Jones]

Actually, Bob, I'm gonna do something I've never done.

[Caller/Bob]

Wow.

[Shannon Dawson]

Ask him when to call in.

[Matt Jones]

I'd like you to call in just to get some logistics down. If he comes on. If he calls in, we'll take his call. Shane. And this will never happen again. Bob, this is your one time you are invited.

[Shannon Dawson]

Like a skip the line pass.

[Matt Jones]

I will give him a skip the line past 859280. 2, 2, 8, 7. I can't believe I'm doing that. But 20 college basketball players have or former college basketball players have been indicted due to an FBI investigation into rigging of college basketball and Chinese Basketball association games. Shannon includes one player, One person bet $225,000 on a Chinese basketball game that he had agreed with a player to help throw that.

[Shannon Dawson]

That's a red flag right there. Kind of money on Chinese place.

[Matt Jones]

The $225,000 gay up thing on the Chinese basketball game. He was asking for an indictment. Right.

[Drew Franklin]

It's also a name involved. Is the name we know. Antonio Blakeney, who Cal almost got to come here, is caught up in the Chinese $200,000 bet. He's named in all of this. Remember, he committed to Louisville. We wanted him bad. And then he ended up at lsu, I think, with Ben Simmons.

[Matt Jones]

And he would play well with us, against us, didn't he?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I think he only played a year, went to the Bulls for a year or two, but he's caught up in this. Specifically the $200,000 Chinese bet.

[Matt Jones]

Wow. So Antonio Blakeney is one of them.

[Drew Franklin]

That was almost a cat.

[Matt Jones]

Almost all the schools are small that are part of it. It's basically the LSU and St. John's are the only power conference teams that had a player involved. And in the LSU one, which is Blightney, they say he did that. Not at lsu, but while he was in the Chinese Basketball Association.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, I think that was one of the concerns when all the sports betting happened, that this was going to.

[Matt Jones]

But, I mean, this was all. This is all. Some of this is a while back.

[Ryan Lemond]

Do you think it's not going on now?

[Matt Jones]

I don't know why people. I don't know why people act like this Change. Kentucky got banned from college basketball in the 40s for this.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

Right. I mean, this has been going on forever.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

I would just argue it's now easier to catch.

[Drew Franklin]

That's why we know about these. Because they're doing it on apps that are being monitored and not under the table now.

[Matt Jones]

They're just stupider about it. But I. The idea that this has not been happening. I mean, people have been throwing boxing matches since the Civil War. Right. Like, I mean, this has been going on forever. So there's this notion of, well, in the last four years, gambling's legal. This is why this is happening. No, this is why they're being caught. This is always happened.

[Drew Franklin]

There's systems in place. The moment an irregular bet pops up, a red flag goes off on Their end. And they're like, why would someone bet $200,000 on Chinese basketball? Let's look into this.

[Matt Jones]

It's always weird to me that our fan base is the one that I hear say, this is what happens when you legalize gambling.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, we literally were banned from the sport.

[Drew Franklin]

It's been going on.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, beginning of time in Kentucky were in the gambling scheme, right?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. Yep. Yep. The fiddling five. Those guys got banned from basketball.

[Matt Jones]

Was that in 51?

[Ryan Lemond]

48. 49. That team.

[Matt Jones]

Well, 48. We won. So it was the 49 team that was banned from basketball.

[Ryan Lemond]

Must have been.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, yeah. And the 48 team was also the Olympic team.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's right.

[Matt Jones]

Which is great. That part of Kentucky history is wild. We had a team that won the national championship, then represented the United States in the Olympics. The team.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

And then got banned from college basketball.

[Ryan Lemond]

Then they all became the Indianapolis Olympians. Right. They all went with this one professional team.

[Matt Jones]

But, I mean, that's a. That's a wild part of. I mean, if you. If you're not a, like, hardcore Kentucky history fan, you'd hear that and go, what?

[Drew Franklin]

Why couldn't we have the blog back then? Or why couldn't they be having all that fun now?

[Matt Jones]

Can you imagine if they picked this Kentucky basketball team to be the Olympic team? I think we would struggle in the Olympics. Just for the record, I think these guys would have a hard time against Jokic and Giannis, but that. Would that happen?

[Drew Franklin]

That would be wild.

[Matt Jones]

I can't.

[Drew Franklin]

I can't even wrap my head around a Kentucky team that I love then getting the privilege to also represent America.

[Matt Jones]

I think they joined some. There were a few others, but there were. There was a. Back then, they had amateur professional basketball. Basically. You could go play after college for amateur teams that used to be, like, athletes in action. And I think it was like, Marathon Oil.

[Drew Franklin]

I think the team was Phillips something. Sixers. 66.

[Matt Jones]

Phillips 66. The gas station, yeah. Did you. I don't think Mario did. You know, gas stations would sponsor basketball teams. So it'd be literally like, marathon oil, Phillips 66. And I believe when we went to the Olympics, they combined us with, like, Marathon Oil.

[Drew Franklin]

I think that was the Phillips team. We combined.

[Matt Jones]

It was Phillips 66, and we became the Olympic team.

[Drew Franklin]

Imagine.

[Matt Jones]

It's so weird to think, like, you know, Kentucky would combine with Sonic. They would become the Olympic team.

[Drew Franklin]

All right, now take your hat off for the national anthem as Kentucky and Clark's Pumping Shop parade around with the American flag. I'm for it. Let's do it.

[Caller/Bob]

Why not?

[Drew Franklin]

Imagine the opening ceremonies at the next Olympics.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. And all the fresh coffee you'd get and sandwiches.

[Drew Franklin]

We could sing Pump and Shop after the national anthem.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I mean, if you ever want to have fun, like, just want to laugh, go back and look at the basketball teams and football teams that college sports teams played in, like the early 1900s. Because they literally played businesses.

[Ryan Lemond]

Played the Lexington YMCA.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, they would. They would play the white. The YMCA had a team?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yep.

[Drew Franklin]

You know, we played Nike. Isn't that a conflict of interest? I mean, they sponsor our team, but.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, there are teams that literally would play just businesses. Yeah, it would be like, you know, Auburn versus McDonald's in a best of seven series. I just think we need to do more than that. I think it's. I think it's entertaining.

[Drew Franklin]

Lots of random. I have the list up now. Lots of random countries, too.

[Matt Jones]

Some of these teams.

[Drew Franklin]

What is high Five America? We. We gave up 84 points to high five America in 1990.

[Matt Jones]

People who only high fived each other.

[Ryan Lemond]

Like the Armory. Didn't the Armory have.

[Matt Jones]

Yes, the Armory always had it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Well, it's a great history. Who's up next?

[Shannon Dawson]

All right, so we got Bob in Jamestown.

[Matt Jones]

Speaking of great history, Bob. All right, Can Mario get in?

[Caller/Bob]

Yeah, I've got. I got two tickets, two reservations. Buddy of mine begged out.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Caller/Bob]

But we got you.

[Matt Jones]

Could you get a third one for Paul?

[Caller/Bob]

Well, I don't know about that.

[Matt Jones]

Well, you work on it with your people because your buddy, see, his buddy bagged out Mario's, and it's just you and. It's you and you and Bob. But we'll get Paul one, too. Bob will work on it. And explain to me quickly, what is he gonna. How many people are expected to be at this thing?

[Caller/Bob]

I don't know. I called, you know, go through that Bellbrook Library, and that's where, you know, made their reservations. And I did it like two weeks ago. Anyway, it starts at 11 o', clock, so we. We need to leave at 7 o'.

[Matt Jones]

Clock. Well, he's not gonna go with you. He's gonna meet you there, okay?

[Caller/Bob]

Oh, well, whatever.

[Matt Jones]

He's gonna meet you there because he has to come back.

[Caller/Bob]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

He's got people, so he'll meet you there. But.

[Caller/Bob]

Okay, but it's at 11 o'.

[Matt Jones]

Clock.

[Caller/Bob]

It's across the street at the church. Across the street from the Bellbrook. Driver, you just go across. Straight up 75. Straight up 75.

[Matt Jones]

The church across the street from the bell.

[Caller/Bob]

Get off 675. Get off at the Wilmington exit.

[Matt Jones]

He'll get off. Okay, so what?

[Caller/Bob]

And then it's left on 7:25 Franklin.

[Matt Jones]

He'll turn left on Franklin Street. Okay, but my question for you, Bob, is what is going to happen at this thing?

[Caller/Bob]

What is going to happen?

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Caller/Bob]

Yeah. Well, this race and mansky, he's a 40 year retired employee of Wright Patterson. He's going to give a public speech about ghosts, secrets, aliens.

[Matt Jones]

We're going to learn something about it.

[Caller/Bob]

Well, I mean he gave one of these. It's actually kind of a book tour too. He's selling.

[Drew Franklin]

He's written three books.

[Ryan Lemond]

Selling books. There's the hook.

[Matt Jones]

So it's not just he's like using it to. At the library across the street from the church that he's using it to break news. He's trying to sell books?

[Caller/Bob]

Well, yeah, that's why it's free anyway.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, it's free. Okay.

[Caller/Bob]

Now the books are. He's got like a. This is everything I've read on the website.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. All right, well, we're looking forward to it. Should be a good event for you and Mario. I hope you'll be nice to him, Bob. This is your chance. You're going to meet the public here.

[Caller/Bob]

He's going to be a good guy.

[Matt Jones]

He's going to be profiling.

[Caller/Bob]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Are you, what are you going to wear, Bob? Because you don't usually dress very well.

[Caller/Bob]

Just comfortable, comfortable clothing like this is.

[Matt Jones]

Going to go like you're going to be on the Internet. You might want to wear like, like a nice outfit.

[Caller/Bob]

Okay, well, I can wear my Jerry Spence western fringed leather jacket. And there we go. President. A cowboy hat.

[Julian Edelman]

This is Julian Edelman from Games With Names. Now let's get into the serious stuff. We're talking football food, specifically Daisy French Onion Dip.

[Matt Jones]

That is serious.

[Julian Edelman]

Gotta try these delicious new dips from Daisy. These are so delicious. They're like homemade dips made with real herb and spices and other ingredients you'll find in your kitchen. Also made with some Daisy Sour cream. Daisy Sour Cream is a long standing staple for Taco Tuesday.

[Matt Jones]

You know what I do when I get my street burrito, I get the squirt Daisy.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

And every bite. I know you.

[Ryan Lemond]

I know you.

[Julian Edelman]

I'm a huge sour cream guy. I love sour cream pop. So I think burritos can't live without sour cream.

[Matt Jones]

I completely agree with that.

[Julian Edelman]

They also have daisy ranch dip. I love ranch dip.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's great.

[Julian Edelman]

I love it with crackers, wings, plain potato chip, the ones with the little crinkles, maybe some bell peppers. So get out there and give Daisy French onion dip a try. You will not regret it.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back, Techie Sports Radio. I think we learned Bob's last name, which I didn't know.

[Ryan Lemond]

He said it and I didn't catch.

[Matt Jones]

I didn't make the connection. I did not know that his last name was Robert Cumming.

[Drew Franklin]

He revealed it. He himself.

[Matt Jones]

No longer Bob in Jamestown.

[Shannon Dawson]

Can we just call Robert Cummings now? When he calls in, I'll just say Robert Cummings is on line one.

[Matt Jones]

Line one. Wow. We got some folks here from Taylorsville, which is nice. Nice. See Taylorsville in the house. It should be, you know, I like. What's the last time you've been to Taylorsville?

[Ryan Lemond]

I don't know if I've ever been. You know, you go past the exit on 64, I don't know if I've ever been.

[Shannon Dawson]

Right next door for me, right up there.

[Matt Jones]

I went there once. I went to a little mom and pop shop. It was very nice. It was right before when I was doing my book. I think I wrote.

[Ryan Lemond]

What county is it? Spencer County.

[Matt Jones]

That's exactly right. Spencer County, Taylorsville. 859280, 2287. What person writes Matt? Predict. Everyone on the show predict the amount of wins, regular season and postseason combined. Okay, so we are 11 and 6 with 14 games to go. You got the SEC tournament and the NCAA. So I'll start with you, Shannon. How many wins? When this is all said and done, we have 11 at this moment, I'm.

[Shannon Dawson]

Gonna say they get into the tournament, so I'm gonna go 22.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, 22.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

How many? 22.

[Shannon Dawson]

So I think they got, what, seven more here. That would get me to 18. I think they win a couple in the SEC and maybe win one or two in the NCAA tournament.

[Matt Jones]

22 is very optimistic. All right. What about you, Drew?

[Drew Franklin]

I'll say they get seven more in the regular season. Win one in Nashville, which makes me want to vomit. Win one in the big tournament, they get in.

[Matt Jones]

So they get 20.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

And they win a game in the. In the tournament.

[Drew Franklin]

Actually, no. Yeah, I'll say they get one.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

I'll be optimistic.

[Matt Jones]

All right, Ryan?

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm gonna be just a little more optimistic. And Drew, because exactly what I was gonna say. 18 wins during the regular season. You win the Wednesday night game in the SEC tournament, you win the playing game in Dayton, but you also win a first round game in the NCAA tournament.

[Matt Jones]

So what is all that?

[Ryan Lemond]

So that's one.

[Drew Franklin]

That's one more than me.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Just because I didn't have a plan.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, I probably need to re evaluate mine. I've the sweet 16. I'm just saying that out loud. I'm like, wait a minute, maybe I could say 22. But they win more. One more in the regular season, not in the NCAA.

[Matt Jones]

So you're going 21.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You're going 20, and Shannon's going 22. And I think they're going to win six more in the regular season, which gets us to 17. But I think we win two in Nashville, which gets us to 19. Then we win in Dayton in the play in, and so we end up.

[Ryan Lemond]

With 20 and then losing the first round of the NCAA.

[Matt Jones]

That's where I am. Right?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

So I'm gonna say 20. I'm gonna go with Drew. So Drew and I have 20. Ryan 21, Shannon 22. It's been fascinating to watch Shannon's turn into Mr. Optimus this year on both football and basketball. But I will note, I don't know if this was said before I got here. Shannon said we would win on last second shot.

[Shannon Dawson]

I did, Yeah, I did. I called that.

[Matt Jones]

So he called that. Exactly.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah. It's almost like I know what I'm talking about.

[Matt Jones]

And what's his name? Last night, Pat Bradley in the pregame said Kentucky would have a shot at the buzzer to win and miss it. So he almost got it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Almost got it.

[Caller/Bob]

Right.

[Drew Franklin]

And in the pregame, Peter Burns shouted out ksr. He did See network.

[Ryan Lemond]

Did you hear that?

[Matt Jones]

I heard about it, yeah. He said Matt Jones and KSR are gonna be upset about that.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes, they did.

[Matt Jones]

Well, thank you, Peter Birds. I appreciate it. Who's up next?

[Shannon Dawson]

Steve.

[Matt Jones]

Steve. Go ahead, Steve.

[Caller/Bob]

Hey guys, I'm gonna follow up with what a previous caller said about Jasper Johnson starting in the three guard lineup. You know, some guys are better as starters, some guys are better coming off the bench. And Colin in that three guard offense, he can sub for any of those three guys. And Matt, you brought up a good point. Energy first half versus second half. If we come out in the first half of that three quarter court press. This chain thrives on transition baskets, so that kind of gets the juices flowing.

[Matt Jones]

So I agree with.

[Caller/Bob]

I think that's the answer.

[Matt Jones]

The announcer say Kentucky's good in transition when they can get layups. Sir, I would argue probably every team is right. Like, I mean any team that gets layups in transition should be pretty good. But we need to do it. And I'm with you, it's. For me, it's an energy thing to start the game. If you go back and watch the first few minutes of that game, we. We look like we were asleep. That's just the way it goes.

[Caller/Bob]

Absolutely.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Caller/Bob]

Hey, Matt, and you also earlier in the week, I told you I thought Malachi was one of the two most important guys to be on the floor. You agree with me now? Good deal, man.

[Matt Jones]

I appreciate the call. Yeah, I don't know, I mean, I think he certainly needs to be on the court a lot. I. I don't know about most important. I mean, let me give a shout out to a couple other guys away has scored at least 20 points in all four SEC games. First Kentucky player since Jody Meeks do that. No cow player ever did that, which is Kind of amazing.

[Drew Franklin]

Glad he woke up because that's the old way we saw last year and worried if we'd see him again with the way he started this season. Whatever. Maybe just seeing the SEC logo on the other team, whatever it was, I'm glad to have him back.

[Matt Jones]

And then I thought Aberdeen was really good in the second half. After a really poor first half, I thought he really found his groove. Ryan in the second half and played really well.

[Ryan Lemond]

As we said earlier, you know, you couldn't take him off the floor. You know, Jasper didn't play because not reflection on Jasper, it was reflection on Aberdeen how good he was playing. You couldn't take him off the floor. And about oa, you know, that last play, that's where I want the ball in his hand. You know, he hit the last second shot against Oklahoma twice last year.

[Matt Jones]

He missed the free throw, but I loved his drive to the back.

[Ryan Lemond]

Exactly.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, he's got to make that free throw, but I love the fact he just kind of barreled everybody over and did what he was supposed to do.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, earlier in the year, when they're not even playing teams that are that good and they're just sitting around looking at each other, it's kind of like when we're like poking away, like, will you just go do that thing you do or you drive and finish? And he wasn't doing it as much. But then last night, as we saw when they needed it, he knows how to go get it. He will have to shoot better than six from 10 at the foul.

[Matt Jones]

On, though, Shannon, was the Chandler lob pass on the fast break, the worst pass in basketball.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yes. Like, I'm like, why, what was that?

[Ryan Lemond]

Can we get somebody else out of.

[Shannon Dawson]

Anybody else to throw the ball in at him?

[Matt Jones]

What was he trying to.

[Drew Franklin]

I made a note when he did that after I got done cussing, that was like, if Kentucky doesn't win this game, remember this as a turning point and a wasted opportunity because they had momentum. A two on one. I think we had a small deficit, but they just called back to like five and you have something. And he just threw that into the stands, which should have been an easy break.

[Shannon Dawson]

But he redeemed himself, right?

[Matt Jones]

He did redeem himself. I. What he probably should have done there is just stopped and shot the three.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, because.

[Matt Jones]

Because the defender was just shading away like he was. Just. Because I. And I actually think he played it pretty well. I think he was like, all right, shoot this three. And then he tried, still tried to.

[Drew Franklin]

Force the lobby, even if that defender wasn't there, that pass was not getting away. It was not a good pass.

[Ryan Lemond]

No, it had to slip out of his hands. Man, that couldn't have made that bad a pass.

[Matt Jones]

I did like Chandler trying to like defend it. He was, he had a move like. Well, if you just.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, he's like, you're kind of right.

[Matt Jones]

If you just, if you just jumped like a superhero and caught it, then you could have flown through the air.

[Drew Franklin]

But if they had lost, that would have been a huge missed opportunity because they had LSU backpedaling on their heels with a little bit of run going and then just wasted that one.

[Matt Jones]

Impressive about that second half is LSU did hit some shots.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, they did.

[Matt Jones]

It's not like they just completely wilted. They hit shots, they close it to.

[Ryan Lemond]

Five and they would hit a big three or something to jack it back up to eight times.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. 859-280-2287. We'll take a break. Be right back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

T.J. smith, personal injury attorney.

[Public Investing Announcer]

Call T.J. he'll make him pay.

[Shannon Dawson]

Now more of Kentucky Sports radio presented by ST&MORTGAGE. Here's Matt Jones.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back. Techie Sports Radio. 859-280-2287. Text machine is 772-774-5254. Here's a little story just broke. Former U.S. senator is getting is being alleged in a lawsuit that she destroyed her 14 year marriage by having an affair with a member of her security detail while she was a member of the Senate. Her name's Chris Kirsten Cinema, according to a lawsuit. In the lawsuit, the person alleges that cinema is one of four senators in 2023 who were having active relationships with their security details.

[Ryan Lemond]

Didn't know that was a thing. Wow.

[Drew Franklin]

Four seems like a ones a lot.

[Matt Jones]

100. That's one out of every 25. So if you're elected Senate, you got a one out of 25 chance at least according to this lawsuit of being.

[Drew Franklin]

With your security detail, protecting or if you're hired.

[Shannon Dawson]

That'S what they do.

[Drew Franklin]

Or if you're hired a security detail, you have a 4% chance of sleeping with a senator.

[Ryan Lemond]

There you go.

[Matt Jones]

But okay, I guess I could see how it happens though.

[Ryan Lemond]

Spend a lot of time together, time.

[Matt Jones]

With them, a lot of trust there on the road with you.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

If you're a senator, presumably you're away from home quite a bit.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

The security detail is there. You think they start talking and they're like, I'm here to serve you, madam or sir and they're like, yes, yeah, you are.

[Caller/Bob]

And then.

[Matt Jones]

And then love sprouts. Feels like it could be a Hallmark movie.

[Shannon Dawson]

Hallmark movie. Are you watching?

[Ryan Lemond]

I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

The one where senators take their security details.

[Drew Franklin]

Guard me was it wasn't the Nashville mayor did this or a gov. Someone in Tennessee did this.

[Matt Jones]

No, wait a minute. I'll tell you where you may be right about that. I'll tell you where I saw it was on Veep. On Veep. The vice president's daughter fell in love with the secret service officer that was with her in her life before that.

[Drew Franklin]

Let me tell you about Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner. It all starts from the body.

[Ryan Lemond]

The bodyguard.

[Matt Jones]

Thank you, sir. Yes, the bodyguard. They fell in love.

[Drew Franklin]

They did. But back to. Back to our government. Four is too many. I mean, you can have one and we'll all judge it, but four is too many.

[Matt Jones]

Only one is named. Okay, so you know that the other senators, Shannon, have been like shaking in their boots, right? Who's the others?

[Shannon Dawson]

Especially if you're the guilty one.

[Matt Jones]

They're like Mitch.

[Drew Franklin]

And I thought most of them were like 85 years old.

[Shannon Dawson]

Mitch is not the one.

[Matt Jones]

I'm going to say. It's probably not me.

[Shannon Dawson]

My poor security guard. Imagine you're his security guard.

[Ryan Lemond]

He's just doing his job.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, I. Mitch one time came into the old TV studio. I was in his security get. Now when he was. When he was head of the Senate, his security would get there like four hours early and scope the law like candles. That's good. I'm sorry. That was ridiculous. Who's up next?

[Shannon Dawson]

Free Bird.

[Matt Jones]

I want somebody to create that picture at the. Hey, Kentucky.

[Drew Franklin]

Little rose petals.

[Matt Jones]

Trail of rose petals to his desk. There's Mitch. All right, go ahead.

[Drew Franklin]

Close the blinds.

[Matt Jones]

Go ahead.

[Caller/Bob]

Freebird.

[Matt Jones]

Freebird, Go ahead.

[Caller/Bob]

You're all cracking me up. What a great show. Hey, listen, I was. I was watching the game last night down in White House, Tennessee with the old buddy basketball coach at Mercer County. His name's Nelson Gundam. So watching the game with a basketball coach, man, you got to hear X's and O's and all kinds of stuff, but it was fantastic. And so I would say we're going to bring an A game down to that pukey orange people down there on Saturday. And I still think, oh a way got that shot off, man. Y' all talk about that some more.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I think he didn't because we just got the wrong angle. When he got the angle where you could see it was. It was the ole Miss Auburn game again. Because when you got the angle where you were behind him and you could see the light, it looked like the light was still. It was very, very close. But look, I think the clock was just behind on the thing. So I don't know why the SEC network waited so long to show that last angle because the. The officials made the call relatively quickly, which says to me they had that angle and for whatever reason, they just weren't showing it on the game. So. So even though I wish. Go ahead.

[Caller/Bob]

Maybe if it was a camera view, but I thought I could have sworn the shot clocks look different from the. From the bottom of the TV and the one they showed to the left.

[Matt Jones]

The bottom of the TV is not. The bottom of the TV is not the same one as the official one. It is. Appreciate the call. We talked. They talked about this in the Auburn, I guess A and M game, not Ole Miss. That they are not the same. It's like a millisecond off and you say that's now come up twice in games in the SEC this year.

[Ryan Lemond]

You're right the first four times they showed it. They showed it from the side.

[Matt Jones]

I was sure it was in.

[Ryan Lemond]

I was sure it was in. I thought for sure he got it off. But then they showed it from behind, from the other end of the other end zone, and you could tell it was. It was.

[Matt Jones]

It is interesting how angles change viewpoints so much. You know what I mean? Like, it's interesting how. And I guess whichever one's right is whichever one gives you the answer that you want. As far as beating Tennessee, we got a Tennessee fan in here over sitting over there right now. He's. He can't hear us, but, I mean, we have a shot. They're not. They're not as good as they usually are. And we've been pretty good down there.

[Drew Franklin]

Amen's turned a corner a little bit here lately. He's looking tough. And they're Carney. Their big guy is a problem. I had a fun moment last night. I unfortunately know lots of Tennessee fans in my life, and one of them is a season ticket holder in Knoxville. And the whole first half he's saying, yeah, bring these kitty cats Saturday. These are the ones I want to play. He text me after the game, Wait, y' all. One did not know about the comeback. So it's like, yeah, keep that same energy. We found a little something. We're head to Knoxville soon. We'll see you then.

[Matt Jones]

You were right about the Nashville mayor. Nashville mayor.

[Ryan Lemond]

With their security detail guy I feel like.

[Matt Jones]

I feel like the amount of sex scandals in Washington that don't come out has got to be like a bajillion. I think they all agree. No, I. Okay, I'm gonna sound like conspiracy. I genuinely think this true. I think they all agree, Republicans and Democrats. If we start out each other on this stuff, we're all done, right?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

So we will call each other hateful, communist, traitor, whatever, but do not talk about our. Our side pieces, because we all have them. Do you think that's possible that Shannon. That that's what they say. Is Shannon still with us?

[Shannon Dawson]

I was answering a call.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

All right. You think that's possible, that they all just have an agreement? We don't talk about that.

[Drew Franklin]

Now that I've learned that already, four.

[Matt Jones]

Confirmed just with security.

[Drew Franklin]

Wouldn't shock me if they're just straight up having parties where you just show up, put your name. Put your name in a hat.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know if I should say this. Should I mention the thing that used to be talked about at the Hay, Kentucky studios, the allegation?

[Shannon Dawson]

Oh, yeah, yeah, you should, because I don't know, it.

[Drew Franklin]

Want to vote.

[Matt Jones]

I'm not sure. I'm in no way saying this is true. All right, so let me be very clear. I'm not saying this is true. I'm saying this is what people say.

[Drew Franklin]

What the streets say.

[Matt Jones]

People say that there is a house in eastern Kentucky that is known as the House, or was known for a long time as the House where the politicians played. You're shaking your head. Right, right.

[Ryan Lemond]

What came out in that documentary on the attorney that went on the run to Mexico.

[Matt Jones]

Yes, it did, Eric. They did talk about that. But that, like, very prominent people, especially very prominent people in government in Kentucky in, like, the late 90s to mid 2000s. So, like 95 to 2010, they would all go to Ashland, Kentucky. Was. That was the allegation. There was a very nice house there that they would all, like, have. I mean, I know lunch is happening, but sex parties, like, in Ashland. And I remember thinking it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard. The idea that all these politicians got in their car, drove to Ashland, went to this house, got all dressed up, Republican and Democrat all got naked and were, like, in Ashland, running around. I thought that was the funniest thing I ever heard. And then more and more people would come up to us and say, no, there is an Ashland politician sex house.

[Shannon Dawson]

God, if I'm running against that guy, that's going to be in My TV ads?

[Matt Jones]

No, no, not. It wasn't the guy. It was like 30 of them, right? Yeah, it was like the entire Kentucky House of Representatives and Senate. And you may remember in the 90s, there was a group of like, people in the House and Senate who got. Who hired Hooters waitresses and went to Myrtle beach with state money. Do you remember this?

[Drew Franklin]

Don't. But that does not surprise me.

[Matt Jones]

Remember this?

[Drew Franklin]

I don't remember that one specifically. That sounds like.

[Shannon Dawson]

Forget the Epstein list. I want this list that was younger.

[Matt Jones]

But I've wondered about the Ashland house for a long time. And do we think it's true?

[Drew Franklin]

How about I put out a Twitter poll? Mario goes to the Ashland house. Okay.

[Matt Jones]

I heard that people words started leaking about the Ashland house, that they closed it. But you. You heard this?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. In the Eric C. Documentary. They had, you know, cheese grater guy was on there talking about it, but they were afraid to mention a lot of minute details because I think they wanted it.

[Matt Jones]

Well, yeah. Allegation was Eric C. Khan was part of the parties.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, big time part of the parties. Like, was a regular.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

How much do you know about these rhymes?

[Matt Jones]

I just watched the Mr. Speakeasy. Yeah. Were you at the parties? This feels like the kind of thing you would show up at.

[Ryan Lemond]

I. If I got invited, I would probably go just for show prep. You know, just to be be prepared for when it comes up on the show.

[Matt Jones]

You heard there was an Eric C. Con sex party. You would go if I got invited?

[Ryan Lemond]

I probably. Let's just go check this out.

[Shannon Dawson]

Educational purposes, right? Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I'm sure your girlfriend would see your girlfriend. Maybe that's why she didn't want to come to Trivia.

[Ryan Lemond]

Maybe that's it. She heard Eric C. Khan's gonna be here.

[Matt Jones]

Well, is he still in jail? What happened to him?

[Drew Franklin]

I hope so. He should be.

[Shannon Dawson]

I think he's still in jail.

[Matt Jones]

Anyway, I don't know how. How did I get off on this? Oh, here's the cinema and her thing. Anyway, if anybody knows about the Ashland thing, I. I would love you want to talk about a text machine detail. I would enjoy reading through the day.

[Drew Franklin]

Or if you know the other three senators that weren't named, either one of.

[Matt Jones]

Those would be things that I would. I would very much enjoy. That's not what I thought we were.

[Drew Franklin]

Gonna be talking about on Malachi Moreno Day.

[Ryan Lemond]

The Malachi came up.

[Matt Jones]

Let's say you own a house and things happen and you need to clean it up.

[Ryan Lemond]

What are you gonna do?

[Matt Jones]

Servpro. They'll make it like your party never even happened.

[Drew Franklin]

Drew they didn't make some of these parties not happen at some point.

[Matt Jones]

[Matt Jones]

Back Techie Sports Radio the text machine is made for questions like we just had. First of all, I didn't know the Nashville mayor would hook up with her security guard in the cemetery and she got caught because a cemetery camera caught her. Is that correct?

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

I don't know.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's a little creepy.

[Matt Jones]

A lot of people are saying that's true. That's how she got caught.

[Drew Franklin]

Sounds right.

[Matt Jones]

Gerald Ford's daughter married her Secret Service agent.

[Ryan Lemond]

Really? They got married?

[Matt Jones]

How about that?

[Drew Franklin]

This seems pretty common than I thought it would be.

[Matt Jones]

John and Kate plus eight apparently split up because Kate had an affair with her bodyguard.

[Ryan Lemond]

Like you said, you spend a lot of time together. You travel together, go to hotels together.

[Matt Jones]

One person writes Matt, the ashton story is 100% fact. I know several stories that come from that place. It's the same thing that's going on right now in Letcher County. Oh, it's moved. What's happening in Letcher County?

[Ryan Lemond]

It's moved to Letcher County.

[Drew Franklin]

You get my map out and start putting pins in all these cities.

[Matt Jones]

That's Whitesburg.

[Shannon Dawson]

It's about to move again. Now that they know about it, you never know.

[Matt Jones]

One person writes Matt the back room in the old Frankfurt restaurant Flynn's was known as the place legislators would bring their significant others. It had a curtain door and if you look through the curtain you could see slot machines and the and the senators mistresses.

[Drew Franklin]

Sounds like A movie.

[Matt Jones]

The back room at Flynn's feels like Flynn's is the kind of name of a place that I could see it happening. And slot machines.

[Ryan Lemond]

Slot machines.

[Shannon Dawson]

Historical gaming.

[Caller/Bob]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Historical.

[Public Investing Announcer]

Yeah.

[Shannon Dawson]

They're not really slot machines.

[Drew Franklin]

We're not allowed to call them that. Remember.

[Matt Jones]

That'S where they got the name. Historical gaming.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. We can't put one in here and call it a slot machine. But it could be in the back room.

[Ryan Lemond]

So if there is a place like that in Ashland, if there's a place Flynn's in Frankfurt, the police know about it.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Oh, they look the other way.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Right. Just don't act like it's happening.

[Ryan Lemond]

So now they're doing that in let your county.

[Matt Jones]

Well, it's you saying that. I'm just reading you the text message. Don't put your name.

[Shannon Dawson]

They could be the guard involved.

[Matt Jones]

Yes. Who's next? Next?

[Shannon Dawson]

Let's go to Jim.

[Matt Jones]

Jim. Go ahead, Jim.

[Caller/Bob]

Hey, fellow, how you doing? Hey. I called in the other day, I think it was after the Missouri game, and I was concerned with the lack of fouls, lack of assists. I don't remember that discussion. But anyway, you haven't mentioned that Moreno played with four fouls for quite a while last night. He had to let a couple of guys go, a couple baskets go.

[Matt Jones]

Was he.

[Caller/Bob]

He could have fouled out right there. So little maturity on his part.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I agree, yes. He played with four fouls for seven or eight minutes, didn't foul, played decent defense while not fouling. So I'm with you. I appreciate the call. That was part of what made him so good.

[Ryan Lemond]

Malachi did so much other than hit the last second shot last night. And you know, he did it against Mississippi State that second half. He dumb. Almost forwarded with a triple double. He's a guy that we keep saying Jaden Quaint may be the only NBA player on the team. Malachi may be developing into an NBA player.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Who's up next?

[Shannon Dawson]

Let's go to Jay.

[Matt Jones]

Go ahead, Jay.

[Caller/Bob]

Hey, guys. Glad we got the win last night. This year, for some reason, I'm gonna have an ulcer before this is over or something happened because one minute I'm ready to throw up, next minute I'm excited. The next minute I just can't believe it and walk out. But it's unbelievable team at. Hey, the thing I wanted to tell you about too is I went to Publix yesterday and got that broil. You called it. But the guy there said it's really a. It's esteemed and they got three different seasonings. I had to put all three in mine, and it was one of the best I ever eat.

[Matt Jones]

Look at that.

[Ryan Lemond]

There you go.

[Matt Jones]

The public seafood broil. There you go. Well, now. Yeah, you. Well done. I appreciate the call. Public's getting all kinds of good, good recommendations. I'm gonna get excited. It's gonna be in my backyard.

[Drew Franklin]

What are you gonna buy when you get over there? It's like when you go grocery shopping. What do you. What are you reaching for? Your regular stuff.

[Matt Jones]

Paprika.

[Drew Franklin]

Paprika. You go through a lot of paprika. Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Time big on paprika. Kumarik Bailey.

[Public Investing Announcer]

Turmeric.

[Drew Franklin]

Dude, I think you combined a couple different spices. Is there.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, no, it's. It's a. That's a. I put together kale.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, it's a mix.

[Matt Jones]

It's kale and turmeric.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, okay. Oh, my bad. They're not that advanced.

[Matt Jones]

We call it. Listen, if you. When you get in the advanced cooking classes, you'll understand DraftKings. You. My promo code KSR BET5. Get 3, 200 in bonus bets. Promo code KSR with DraftKings. Game of the day today, I get. There's not a lot of choices, so I'm gonna go because, you know, most people are focused on. Focused on trivia tonight here at the bar. But during trivia tonight, we'll be showing Florida and Kentucky women. The Kentucky women are playing at home against Florida. Kentucky is 16 and two and number seven in the country. Who you got right?

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm picking the Cats for sure at home. Coming up, a couple big wins in the conference. Definitely go with UK Florida's 12 and 7.

[Matt Jones]

Drew, if you want to before you.

[Drew Franklin]

Make your pick already that Matt. I know ball. I like the Cats here. We already took our loss. We weren't supposed to have. We're still in great shape. Let that one get away. Nothing but winning the rest of the way.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. By the way, Florida is. Looks like they have yet to win a conference game. They're owing four so far in the conference. Who you got, Jim?

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, they're about to be 05. Give me Kentucky. They win.

[Matt Jones]

Yep. That game is. It's here.

[Ryan Lemond]

So seven o'. Clock.

[Matt Jones]

So if you want to go. If you're going to the game, you can come here before or you could come watch it as part of the trivia negotiations.

[Ryan Lemond]

We were so cool that Drew mentioned the UK Women's Twitter account. Put the Tony Morgan's last second shot and Malachi's last second shot kind of Back to back, both in the same arena, both just a couple weeks apart. It was awesome.

[Matt Jones]

I did, like, I thought Kenny Brooks's celebration was better than Pope's.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Kenny's little, you know, excitement. Mark was kind of stoic for getting such a big victory.

[Ryan Lemond]

You think he was just waiting to see if they were going to make it official? Like he was afraid to celebrate after.

[Drew Franklin]

They had just taken another one away.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, but that one, I wasn't worried. I felt good about it. Seemed like it went in in real time and everything was on the other end.

[Drew Franklin]

LSU fans must hate us right now. Absolutely hate us. Baseball team goes there early in the season. Let's walk off a home run game one. Let's just keep this going.

[Matt Jones]

The baseball team plays there.

[Drew Franklin]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

I might like to go to that because, like, isn't that the place you go?

[Drew Franklin]

It's in early. It's in March. It's one of the first series they play and. And we'll be on our basketball run.

[Matt Jones]

We won't be able to go.

[Drew Franklin]

And football goes there.

[Ryan Lemond]

Why?

[Drew Franklin]

Let's just beat them there in football, too.

[Matt Jones]

Let's just. Football is here.

[Ryan Lemond]

They go there.

[Matt Jones]

Next year.

[Drew Franklin]

Next year.

Doesn't matter. Let's keep beating them.
