Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. McDonald's “1 in 8 Day” Claim

(03:27–09:18; 21:17–22:23)

• McDonald’s is celebrating “1 in 8 Day,” boasting that one in eight Americans have worked at their restaurants.
• The claim is met with skepticism and ridicule from the hosts.
  • Matt Jones: “I am calling BS on this. I do not think one in eight Americans have worked at a McDonald's.” (04:46)
  • Crew consensus: The stat, even stretched over 60 years, seems exaggerated. None of the present hosts or crew have worked at McDonald’s, making an informal survey of “0-for-6.”
  • Drew Franklin: “If they said 1 in 20 maybe I’ll hear them out. 1 in 8 just seems like way too many…” (06:06)
• Listeners chime in with family anecdotes and additional skepticism during the call-in segment.
  • Drew Franklin: “McDonald’s actually needs to be punished for this. This is just blatant lying. This should be a crime.” (22:06)

---

2. New Federal Car “Kill Switch” Tech

(09:19–15:43; 22:24–24:43; 39:40–41:16)

• Starting today, all new cars manufactured in America are required to have kill switch technology, designed to passively monitor impairment and shut down the car if the driver is detected to be drunk.
  • Matt Jones: “If your car decides you’re drunk and you’re just in the middle of a parking lot somewhere…” (13:02)
• The crew expresses privacy concerns, skepticism about effectiveness, and worry over false positives.
  • Shannon Dawson: “Guess that means from now on I’m going to be driving a car that was made in 2025 or earlier. Give me an old car.” (12:54)
  • Speculation about future insurance and government overreach:
    • Drew Franklin: “What if, in five years, we have this and they’re like, ‘You know what, we don’t want people on the roads today. None of you are driving.’” (22:53)
• A truck driver calls in to criticize technology-based safety features:
  • “You can’t fix stupid with technology.” (40:14)
  • Points out truckers now race to beat the electronic logs, causing unintended safety risks.

---

3. Will Levis’ NFL Future – Caller Discussion

(15:50–17:23)

• Caller asks if former UK quarterback Will Levis could find a new NFL team, possibly in a Taysom Hill-type hybrid role.
  • Hosts hope Levis will get another shot, arguing he’s better than some current backups and was put in a tough situation with the Titans.
    • Drew Franklin: “A lot of that is he was running for his life… I would like to see him graded in normal circumstances.” (16:33)
    • Matt Jones: “He got drawn at about the worst, you know, next to the Jets, probably the worst scenario he could have gotten.” (17:04)

---

4. College Basketball Legal Drama: Alabama’s Charles Bediako Eligibility

(24:43–33:21)

• Discussion of Alabama basketball player Charles Bediako, who played after a Tuscaloosa judge (an Alabama sports donor) issued a restraining order against NCAA’s eligibility rules.
  • The judge has postponed hearings, allowing Bediako to keep playing; NCAA accuses bias and files for recusal.
  • The crew jokes about the underlying “homerism” in the legal process.
    • Matt Jones: “What chance does the NCAA lawyer, coming from New York, have in the Tuscaloosa Circuit Court?”
      Shannon Dawson: “Probably zero.” (27:47)
  • Other SEC fans troll Alabama by voting Bediako into the G League All-Star Game.
    • Drew Franklin: “We all need to get him into that game. Doesn’t affect us. It just makes Alabama look ridiculous.” (30:34)
• The group clarifies differences between Bediako’s eligibility situation and others, defending the NCAA’s position in this case.
  • Matt Jones: “A two-way contract means you can be called up at any moment and you’re basically property of the NBA team… I think that is a reasonable line to draw.” (31:33)

---

5. Margot Robbie Valentine's Day Controversy

(33:37–38:45)

• Margot Robbie revealed her co-star Jacob Elordi filled her hotel room with roses on Valentine's Day, even though she’s married.
• The crew debates boundaries and relationship etiquette:
  • Shannon Dawson: “Back off, dude… Found the husband.” (35:28)
  • Ryan Lemond: “I don’t think you can beat [Elordi] up, but you have to put some boundaries up.” (36:37)
  • The consensus is Robbie’s public delight over the gesture is more problematic than the gesture itself, with Ryan ultimately “more mad at her than him.” (38:07)

---

6. Miscellaneous Banter: Travel Woes and Music Musings

(47:20–49:38, 45:27–46:29)

• Matt and Drew have a “Super Bowl housing crisis” after event hotels run out. Jokes about asking NFL staffers or listeners for couches.
• Short segment on favorite country performers:
  • Matt Jones: “I found myself last night when I was driving, I was singing two songs. One was Mark Chestnut… And then Delilah by Tom Jones.” (45:32)

---

7. Game Picks: Kentucky vs. Vanderbilt

(49:38–51:41)

• Hosts make their picks for the basketball game:
  • Shannon: Vandy wins, but Kentucky covers.
  • Ryan: Same pick.
  • Drew: Kentucky covers, maybe even the moneyline.
  • Matt: Takes Vandy to cover but expects a close game.
    • Matt Jones: “I just, I don’t like—I don’t feel good about it… I think we’re going to end up losing by 8 or 9.” (50:39)

---

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

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentuck Esports Radio. 859-280-2287 KS Bars back open after having been closed for a couple days for snow. And remember the pregame show starts tonight at 6:30 and you can go watch the game at the bar. On this snowy day. Get out of your house. What's the point of being in your house now? You've been there for like four days. Get out. I've enjoyed this is probably the most time I've spent by myself. Ryan. I mean you you've talked about since your entire life. Mine's probably since COVID Right where you've seen the fewest people you know maybe in these four or five days.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. You can't get out. There's no interaction. At least you went, you walked a subway. I think you said one day but.

[Matt Jones]

That'S like just talking to the person that works there. It's not like Drew, I don't necessarily think they're my friend.

[Drew Franklin]

It's you know, human interaction though whether it's.

[Matt Jones]

It is nice to have human.

[Drew Franklin]

Anyone.

[Matt Jones]

That's exactly, exactly right. All right. A couple things that I wanted to bring up non sports related. See what you thought Shannon, today is I don't know if you saw this is one in eight day.

[Shannon Dawson]

I don't know what that means.

[Matt Jones]

That means McDonald's is claiming that as of today one in eight Americans has at some point worked at McDonald's in their life.

[Shannon Dawson]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

One in eight Americans apparently that that milestone happened today. They say that over the course of McDonald's opening they are the only employer that has employed one out of eight Americans and they say that showcases their connection to the American people. I am calling BS on this. I do not think one in eight Americans have worked at a McDonald's. I think it's very possible one in eight, maybe one in four, maybe one in three have worked in a restaurant or a fast food restaurant or something like that. But In a spec McDonald's specifically, do you think you three that one in eight Americans have worked at a McDonald's?

[Shannon Dawson]

I'm kind of with you. I'm calling BS on it. I mean, have any of us ever worked at McDonald's? Here's four of us.

[Matt Jones]

That's four. Mario, is he. Is he in studio?

[Drew Franklin]

He's a shift to McDonald's.

[Matt Jones]

I. I mean, that feels very specific to say that one in eight. Ryan, what do you think?

[Ryan Lemond]

I know two people that worked at McDonald's. That is it. Out of everybody I know, I know of two people that worked at McDonald's. I think the numbers are a little off.

[Matt Jones]

True.

[Drew Franklin]

If they said 1 in 20, maybe I'll hear them out. 1 in 8 just seems like way too many people compared to the population that one in eight people would have worked at McDonald's. So I don't believe it either.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, what percentage of the population do you think has worked in a restaurant? Like, how many people do you think have worked in a restaurant? First of all, on this show, how many of you have worked in a restaurant? Drew, has. Brian, did you work there?

[Ryan Lemond]

I have not.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon, you have.

[Shannon Dawson]

I have, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

Mario and Billy haven't, to my knowledge.

[Matt Jones]

I haven't. I mean, I've been in restaurants, but I did. I wasn't employee. So that's one out of three of the people here. I think there might be more people, though, than one out of three that have worked in a restaurant at some point in their life. Ryan, don't you think?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, especially younger. You know, you're a teenager, you're trying to get just to make a little money. You seem to always go to a fast food place, try to make a little cash.

[Matt Jones]

Or just any restaurant, like your son works at Wild Eggs, right?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes. Yes.

[Drew Franklin]

What is that? So that's like 12ish percent. Would that mean 12% of population has worked at McDonald's?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, it would be. 12.5% of the population has worked at McDonald's.

[Drew Franklin]

That's outrageous.

[Matt Jones]

Now there they say that over the course of the last 60 years they've had this many employees and that corresponds to one eighth of the population. But I have to think, Shannon, maybe it's People who've worked there stop, then came back.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Or people dead.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

If they're doing all their employees since their existence, they should do the population since they opened. They're like taking.

[Shannon Dawson]

Right, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Because presumably someone that worked at McDonald's has died, I would think.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Shannon Dawson]

From eating the food. No.

[Matt Jones]

Why do you gotta do that? You know that that's my breakfast spot. Why you gotta do that?

[Shannon Dawson]

Well, you just get a Diet Coke. You don't really eat, do you?

[Matt Jones]

Do you do the Egg White delight like a McMuffin? Well, them taking the Egg White Delight is the worst financial decision. America'. I do do like, I'll do an egg McMuffin like one out every other day, but go ahead.

[Shannon Dawson]

One out of eight. Yeah. I agree with you. I don't think that's correct. I think they're applying.

[Matt Jones]

So you're saying one in eight day is a fraud?

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Is it a fraud, ryan?

[Drew Franklin]

Fraud?

[Shannon Dawson]

Maybe one in 16 day, I could go.

[Matt Jones]

I think it's even less than that. I would say it's like one in 25 day.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

I think that's even being generous. The more I think about this, the more outrageous it seems. There are a lot of people.

[Matt Jones]

There's a lot of people.

[Drew Franklin]

And they didn't all go to McDonald's and start taking orders. And not one eighth of them did either.

[Matt Jones]

I could see. I could see that one in eight people maybe even has worked at a fast food restaurant in their life.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You know, but in McDonald's specifically, it just feels like too many.

[Ryan Lemond]

There was not a McDonald's in my county growing up, so all the people went to my high school. None of them worked in a McDonald's.

[Matt Jones]

Mario is not one in eight people.

[Drew Franklin]

Have even eaten McDonald's.

[Matt Jones]

Mario has worked in a restaurant, but not a McDonald's. So this, this show is. One half of the show is worked in a restaurant. Zero of six in a McDonald's.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Ryan Lemond]

McDonald's.

[Matt Jones]

I kind of agree with you. Second, starting today, beginning today, all new cars manufactured in America have to have kill switch technology. Do you know what that means?

[Shannon Dawson]

Button. It goes. The car goes off.

[Matt Jones]

A button where the car goes off. Specifically a button where the car can turn itself off if it thinks you're drunk.

[Shannon Dawson]

Oh, that's interesting.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Shannon Dawson]

It thinks you're drunk.

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Shannon Dawson]

How does it know?

[Matt Jones]

I don't know.

[Shannon Dawson]

What if you're just a bad driver and you swerve?

[Matt Jones]

That's what I'm worried about.

[Shannon Dawson]

If you're a bad driver, you just Don't.

[Matt Jones]

No, no. I mean, I'm just. I don't know. I don't know how it works. But kill switch technology, which includes, I think, a button that someone can hit just to end it. Like, if something happens to you in a car, I guess is. I think that's. A passenger can just hit a button. Is that right?

[Shannon Dawson]

That would be awesome. If you could, like, you just don't like the person driving. I'm just gonna shut you down.

[Matt Jones]

I'm not sure if that part of it is. But that. But the. But the inebriated part. If the car thinks you're inebriated, it can turn itself off. Why is there no. No one heard of this, by the way? I hadn't heard of it until I saw this. This morning. No, this morning. This was on social media. That kill switch technology has. Is starting now. All new cars have to have that. What are your thoughts on it?

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, I like that they're trying to do something to help a drunk driving, but a kill switch, that's just. I don't know how they would know. Is it just because if you're swerving. I don't like a master switch to turn off my car in general, one.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm driving, I don't want who's riding shotgun. Okay, stop.

[Matt Jones]

So there's the kill switch, which is a button that stops machinery if the operator loses control. But then there's also the digital part, which will determine if they think you're, like, driving recklessly and stop.

[Ryan Lemond]

What are they basing it on, like, swerving is. Smell that?

[Matt Jones]

I don't know.

[Drew Franklin]

I need to know more.

[Shannon Dawson]

I don't. Your breath.

[Drew Franklin]

I can't see the execution here.

[Matt Jones]

How's the car gonna smell alcohol in your breath?

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, I don't know. The technology is getting pretty good.

[Shannon Dawson]

You do a breathalyzer every time you start the car.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, there are some of those.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, like.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, they got a little tube you got to blow in to start.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, here we go. It says. Let me read this. A passive system is required in the car that monitors a driver's performance to identify impairment of a driver. It will passively detect a blood alcohol level equal to or exceeding 0.8 blood alcohol content. Or if it detects impairment, it will shut it off and will not allow your car to work.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm out on this.

[Matt Jones]

Well, it passed Congress, like, 400 to 35. Like, everybody can control our cars.

[Drew Franklin]

Can we have something that we can just have? And no one has to be pushing buttons or messing with us, so You.

[Matt Jones]

You're against this.

[Drew Franklin]

You should not drink and drive. We also don't need a kill switch because it thinks we're swerving.

[Matt Jones]

The car will deactivate itself. If a system determines that the driver is impaired, it does not create a kill switch. Anyone outside the vehicle control. It's your. So it's your car controlling it, not someone else.

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, what if there's something on the road and I got to go around it? Does it think I'm drunk and I'm over in the. You know, on the shoulder? There's so many scenarios I could think of where it would just potentially shut off my car. I don't understand how this would work.

[Matt Jones]

This already exists in some cars, but this will make it mandatory and will also shut off the cars that. Where it is. Feels like there is impairment.

[Shannon Dawson]

Guess that means from now on, I'm going to be driving a car that was made in 2025 or earlier, driving one of these new cars down. Give me an old car.

[Matt Jones]

It is interesting, though, what happens if you. If your car decides you're drunk and you're like, just in the middle of a parking lot somewhere.

[Drew Franklin]

How does it know my situation?

[Matt Jones]

Well, what is your situation?

[Drew Franklin]

I say, what if a road. There's trees down and I'm winding.

[Matt Jones]

Well, presumably it knows. It sees the tree.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, I'm saying there's a million circumstances where I could not be driving right between the lines. But I'm not drunk.

[Ryan Lemond]

Everybody swerves a little bit. Everybody does. There are no perfect drivers. So we all just gonna be on the side of the road waiting for our car to come back on.

[Caller]

Back on.

[Drew Franklin]

It's like when I'm golfing and I get too close to the green, I'm.

[Matt Jones]

Like, I know what I'm doing.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm fine.

[Drew Franklin]

Why'd you shut.

[Matt Jones]

You know, that's probably good, that. That's probably a good example. Is that a golf trip? I mean, maybe there's somebody who works in cars that could tell. But this. Whatever this law is, whatever it goes into effect today. Thomas Massie tried to get it overturned yesterday, and it only got like 40 votes to overturn it. So it's. It's staying.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm keeping my. I think I have a 2016. I'll write it out.

[Ryan Lemond]

Amen. And I'm not getting.

[Matt Jones]

So you are never getting another car.

[Drew Franklin]

If they're turning me off because they think I'm drinking, if I'm just not up to their standard.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, can I just. Let me play devil's advocate for A second. If you're driving so poorly that your car thinks you're drunk, maybe you shouldn't be driving.

[Shannon Dawson]

But I would say to the car, you think you can do better than you drive yourself.

[Matt Jones]

Why don't. You can get in a verbal fight with the car?

[Shannon Dawson]

It's like Knight Rider. I can talk to it. You know, talk back to me.

[Matt Jones]

But I mean, there's. Is there not an argument that if you're driving so poorly that the car thinks you're drunk, maybe you do need a break.

[Shannon Dawson]

Well, you shouldn't have a license. Maybe that's a whole other conversation.

[Matt Jones]

That is a whole nother conversation. I mean, I'm with you. That maybe as people get older, they should re. Have to take their test. Yeah, you and I've had that conversation before.

[Caller]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

But. But until then, you know, there's gonna.

[Shannon Dawson]

Be a lot of cars on the side of the road just sitting there. To me, that's more dangerous because now there's people that may not be paying attention that are going to be hitting cars that are on the side of the road.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I don't think it just stops you in the middle of the road.

[Shannon Dawson]

On the side of the road. I'm saying I think call to prove.

[Drew Franklin]

That I'm not drunk so I can get to Kroger in time. I'm running late.

[Matt Jones]

I'm not sure who you have to call. I don't know the detail. I'm just telling you the bill. I'm reading. I'm reading you the article. I don't. I don't know what's a bad bill.

[Drew Franklin]

I could get behind it if it was something like if you're doing 120 and it knows the speed limit on the street, it's like, hey, you're doing something you shouldn't be doing. But if I'm just not a perfect driver.

[Matt Jones]

Just something for you to watch. I didn't even know this was happening. And it is now going into effect. And McDonald's is also claiming one in eight people work there. And we just can't get distracted, Shannon, from all this other news.

[Shannon Dawson]

A whole load of crap is what I'm hearing. I don't like any of it. I don't. Let's go to Andrew.

[Matt Jones]

Andrew. Go ahead, Andrew.

[Caller]

Hey, my question is, do you think Will Levis could be a fit on the Jacksonville Jaguars, like a Taysom Hill type who's a ring, who was a running back quarterback?

[Matt Jones]

No. I do think Will Levis, though, and. And Drew, he was your quarterback for two teams. You Know, Sam Darnold having success in a new place. Baker Mayfield having success in a new place probably helps Will Levis to try to get a second. You know, a lot of times in history, if you didn't make it in your first place, you were basically considered Persona non grata. Do you think Drew Will gets another chance?

[Drew Franklin]

I hope he does. He's. I think he's better than a lot of backups in the league right now. Guys, I watched throw past this season, that year with the Titans, where he became a meme. He had some bad turnovers, but a lot of that is he was running for his life and trying to make a play. I would like to see him graded in normal circumstances and not having to play for the Tennessee Titans because I think he was graded unfairly. And I hope he gets a second shot because that season where he had the reins, where he did have a lot of moments that got mocked, I don't think most of them were on him.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, that's kind of how I am, too. I appreciate the call. I feel like. I feel. I don't know if he will. I don't know if he'll make it as a starter on a second team, but I certainly think there's a place for him in the league. And I hope he gets his chance because I think he got drawn at about the worst, you know, next to the jets, probably the worst scenario he could have gotten.

[Drew Franklin]

The Steelers should take him. That's who. Give him a shot. Throw him in that room and just.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio 859-280-2287 people very interested in the McDonald's thing. One person writes Matt, 11 of my 15 family members have worked at McDonald's. I think you are underestimating how many people have worked there. Okay, Well I mean 11 out of 15 of a family is a lot, but that's if you have another family that has, you know, 0 out of 15. Now we're to 11 out of 30 which is just a third. And so I just don't belive believe one in eight. One person writes, matt, you and Ryan work in a restaurant right now. You own it. Yeah, but I mean that'd be disrespectful to people that work there to say I work there sometimes. I host Drew in emergency situation during the pregame show. In the middle of that, I agree.

[Drew Franklin]

That it's different than the, you know, people that are back there cooking or serving. And I'm the more I thought about it during the break. McDonald's actually needs to be punished for this. This is just blatant lying. This should be a crime.

[Matt Jones]

You don't think there's any way you.

[Drew Franklin]

Can'T just make stuff up and put it out there like this. There should be consequences.

[Matt Jones]

That's what they're saying now. One person writes Matt, so a lot of people are acting like Ryan, I came up with this rule about the cars and they're angry at me like, well what if. Blah, blah, blah. I didn't make this rule. I'm just telling you what the rule says. What One person writes Matt, whether they passed this or not, insurance companies had already planned to only insure new cars that had this in it. Oh, the government is just doing what the insurance companies were going to do anyway.

[Drew Franklin]

More control. What happens when, when in five years we have this and they're like, you know what? We don't want people on the roads today. None of your driving.

[Matt Jones]

See, I do wonder about, I don't know about that specific situation. But yes, I mean it's the same thing as the, you know, the sort of surveillance state. I mean you've heard me say this for a decade. But the problem is Republicans and Democrats, we've given away our freedoms to the government that we like in that moment, it. And we're all going to regret it. So when Obama was president and Biden was president, Democrats voluntarily gave away freedoms because they liked that president. And so things got passed. And then Republicans love Trump. The ones that do have voluntarily given their freedoms away to him because he tells you to do it, too. And in 30 years, we're going to look back and go, why did we do all that to in a moment, get a win over the other side. And now we've given this government a ton. And we've given worse than the government. We've given private companies all of our information. Shannon, you just remember when we're old and we're in a nursing home, yelling at each other, doing a podcast just for the people in the nursing home.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. One of the things we're going to be ranting in is we're going to be run by private companies who we voluntarily gave all of our freedoms to.

[Shannon Dawson]

Well, by that point in my life, I'll be. I'm about to die. You guys handle it. Good luck. Come out.

[Matt Jones]

No, but we still have to rant about it.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, yeah, we'll rant about it, but it won't be our problem.

[Matt Jones]

But I'm just saying we've. That's. We've all done it. Everyone listening. And I, you know this rule. I'm not saying this rule is good or bad, but like, we've done this stuff for years and it's going to catch up with us. And now I'll shut up. Who's up next?

[Shannon Dawson]

Jake.

[Matt Jones]

Jake. Go ahead, Jake.

[Caller]

Hey, Matt, first time caller.

[Matt Jones]

Who are.

[Caller]

I am. Well, I'm here in Tuscaloosa and I've been listening and getting info on the Charles Betty Yako thing. And I'm just curious what Yalls thoughts are on. It looks like they released an update yesterday where they extended the restraining order and the NCAA asked the judge to recuse himself.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, it's correct.

[Caller]

The case. Since he's also a. Since he's also a donor.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, it's a great. This is great. So for people who haven't. Yeah. For people who haven't followed. This is Charles. How do you say his last name? So this is the dude he's basically challenging. You know, we've talked about the various ways the, the pro rule can be interpreted. I'm fine with guys who've played in the G League Playing. I'm fine with guys who signed a 10 day contract plan. The next step is a two way contract. This guy signed a two way contract. He, the. The Alabama found this judge in Tuscaloosa, Drew, who's. Who gives money to Alabama sports. And he gave a temporary restraining order saying that this kid gets to play. So they were supposed to have a hearing today, but then the judge goes, well, the ice is out there, so we can't all get together today. So here's another 10 days which allows him to keep playing. And the NCAA goes, hey, can we just have this trial over? Zoom. And he's like, no, no, we gotta be in person. So they move it 10 days. Then the NCAA files a motion saying, hey judge, you should recuse yourself because you give money to Alabama. Now I have a question to you, Drew and Ryan. You think the judge is going to voluntarily say that he is biased?

[Ryan Lemond]

No, he's not.

[Shannon Dawson]

It kills all your credibility if you say that. I mean, that's the whole point of being a judge.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, if he thought he. I mean, judges recuse themselves all the time, but they usually do it voluntarily. If you, I mean now if you file a motion, I understand why the NCAA did it because they're on appeal. They want to be able to argue this judge was biased. But like I feel like Drew now, he's definitely going to win the case. Right. The judge is not gonna, the judge is gonna be mad that they said he needed to recuse.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, he's holding strong and that stuff. This one's getting a lot of attention because the G League. I'm not calling Alabama Alabama by name, but I am. This is, this is college sports to me. This has probably happened things to this scale. Judges getting involved, boosters getting involved.

[Matt Jones]

This is.

[Drew Franklin]

Appreciate how you, this is how you do college sports. And this is just a big example because we're all paying attention to the G League. Alabama probably has examples of this for 30 years with their football team, maybe even more.

[Matt Jones]

Do you think? I mean, what chance does the NCAA lawyer, Shannon, coming from New York have in the Tuscaloosa Circuit Court of getting this kid not to play?

[Shannon Dawson]

Probably zero. It's not gonna happen.

[Matt Jones]

It's my cousin Vinnie, right?

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, he's going to come down there and say this Ute doesn't need to play basketball. I just. Ryan, I think this kid's going to end up playing and I'll be surprised if it gets to a point where he doesn't.

[Ryan Lemond]

You know, he played Saturday and Tennessee, they didn't got beat. Tennessee beat him at home.

[Matt Jones]

He did, but he played well. So these other kids, these other kids that have been allowed to play have not been good. This guy Drew looks like he might end up being pretty good.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, they didn't start him, but Oats put him in three minutes into the game. He immediately got a big dunk. I think he had like 13 points, four or five rebounds to have not played college ball for two years. He played pretty well to just step off a plane and put on his jersey and check in for Alabama.

[Matt Jones]

And I'll also note he's a little different in the sense that he played in the G League. Shannon, like last week, right?

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, I know. Crazy.

[Matt Jones]

He literally. It wasn't like he's been out for a period of time. He played in the G League last week and then is in Alabama. So it'll be interesting to see. We'll take a break. Be right back. Ksr, TJ Smith, personal injury attorney.

[Sponsor Announcer]

[Shannon Dawson]

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

[Matt Jones]

This is Burger King. Shannon doesn't count towards the one and eight.

[Shannon Dawson]

Oh yeah, that's right. Well, it is fast food.

[Matt Jones]

At least it doesn't work. That doesn't count. All right, so Auburn and Tennessee are doing something kind of funny, I gotta say. Ryan the badiaco is on the G League all star voting site and they are all trying to spam it to vote for him. So he makes the G League all star game.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's kind of funny. We should join in.

[Drew Franklin]

I don't like to compliment Tennessee, but after they beat Alabama in his first game, they tweeted you're next. And then they tagged the Delaware Blue Hens.

[Ryan Lemond]

I love it. That was great.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, that is pretty good. That would be. Actually that's a great troll because if he makes the G League all star game, it makes it even more ridiculous, right?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes. That's why I think we should join in the fun and get him on that.

[Shannon Dawson]

Does he go back to the G League to play in the all Star game?

[Matt Jones]

I feel like he would have to go, right? Because I mean he'd be playing against the NBA, the G League All Stars. For people who don't know they play against the NBA rookies and second year players at all Star weekend.

[Shannon Dawson]

I don't even know what college basketball is anymore.

[Matt Jones]

I really don't. Well, okay. You know, I hate the old man. Just laugh at it for a second. Wouldn't it be funny if an Alabama player Drew goes to the NBA All Star weekend and then comes back to Alabama.

[Drew Franklin]

Yes. And I think the entire SEC should participate in this. I might do a KSR post when I get home because I think we all need to get him into that game. Doesn't affect us. It just makes Alabama look ridiculous.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, there is a point in which I'll say this. The NCAA is trying to fight this. Right? I think most fans think a guy who has signed a two way deal, which means you were an official player of an NBA team, should not come back to college. I would agree with that too. So really isn't the bad guy here. Ryan, Alabama, I mean they're the ones doing this they don't have to do.

[Drew Franklin]

And they're getting their judge involved. They're cocky about it. They're like sticking their chest. It's not like we know this is.

[Matt Jones]

And then blame the system. Don't blame me. The NCAA is asking you not to do it and you're still doing it. So I mean a lot of times I understand people going, the NCAA is not stopping this, but on this one the NCAA is trying to stop it and Alabama's doing it anyway and getting their own booster to be the judge. Ryan, Alabama's the bad guy here, right?

[Ryan Lemond]

Alabama is the bad guy. Would we be saying that if deep paint ended up coming here?

[Matt Jones]

But deep paid is not the same. We have to remember these are different situations. The Baylor kid had never signed an NBA deal. I'm fine with him playing. Dink Pate signed a 10 day deal but never played. And those deals do not make you property of a team. I'm actually fine with him playing. A two way contract means you can be called up at any moment and you're basically property of the NBA team until they change the rules. Drew, I think that is a reasonable line to draw, isn't it?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. Dink, whatever you think of him, it's so different than Betty Oko because he's intentionally, he's had sheets on the table. They're like sign this. And he's not to keep this path open if he wants to do it. So he didn't go as far as, as some of the others did. Even though some people still might think.

[Matt Jones]

I mean there may be people, yeah, there may be people who think none of those guys should play and that's okay. But they are three distinct situations. They are very different. And the NCAA has decided whether you think this is a good decision or not. They've decided. The Dinks and the kid from Baylor can play, but they are drawing the line at people who've signed a two way contract contract. And this kid is challenging it legally. Right? So this is like, this is the one person trying to basically go over the NCAA rules.

[Ryan Lemond]

So is this judge is going to try to continue it through March.

[Matt Jones]

That's what some people think. He would try to go through March Madness and then say, all right, ncaa, do you want to. If they win the title, Shannon, do you want to take it away?

[Shannon Dawson]

You know, I mean, this is a three way contract. The NBA, the G League and now college basketball.

[Matt Jones]

I'm four though. I'm for voting for him for the G League. I think that's, that's funny. All right, one person writes. Matt, I know you've read the Margot Robbie Valentine's controversy. I need Ryan's take. Interesting. What Ryan's take. Have you heard this controversy?

[Ryan Lemond]

I know. Do I need to read something?

[Matt Jones]

Well, I'll just tell you.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Do you know who Margot Robbie is?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, she was. She was Barbie. Right.

[Matt Jones]

She was beautiful at one time. The person that I thought was the most beautiful baby still person like in the world. World. Okay. She was Barbie. She's married to someone. I don't know if he's famous. Is he famous? Drew, who she's married to may just be a random guy.

[Drew Franklin]

I don't know who she's married to. So he's not famous.

[Matt Jones]

Some guy, Right?

[Shannon Dawson]

Tom Ackerley.

[Matt Jones]

Who's is that? Does he work at WLAX as a weatherman?

[Shannon Dawson]

A British film producer. Tom Ackerley.

[Matt Jones]

So she's married to him. She does the movie Wuthering Heights. It comes out here in a few weeks.

[Drew Franklin]

Great book.

[Matt Jones]

Have you all read it?

[Drew Franklin]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

You like?

[Drew Franklin]

It's only book I read in school. I skipped all the books but that one that they told us to read.

[Matt Jones]

Do you remember it? It's like a love story, isn't it?

[Drew Franklin]

I remember reading enough to do my homework in like fourth grade. Good stuff.

[Matt Jones]

Anyway, that movie's coming out here in a few weeks. It was filmed during Valentine's Day and her co star on the film is a guy named Jacob Elordi. What has he been in before? I've heard that name. Has he been in something?

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, he's the. He's the new heartthrob. I think he's in Frankenstein and Euphoria And Euphoria.

[Matt Jones]

That's what I've heard of him in. Okay, so. So anyway, point being, Ryan Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie in Withering Heights. Withering Heights are lovers. Okay. In the movie Valentine's Day comes, her husband is not there because she's filming this movie. She says she got back to her hotel room, and in order to make her feel special and not alone, Jacob Elordi had made it to where her hotel room bedroom was filled with red roses from him.

[Shannon Dawson]

Oh, back off, dude. Oh, man. Found the husband.

[Matt Jones]

She told that story as if it was an example. Example of how sweet he was. If you're the husband and you hear that, what are your thoughts?

[Shannon Dawson]

I should wish I thought of that.

[Drew Franklin]

First.

[Shannon Dawson]

I would be mad.

[Matt Jones]

You'd be mad. But then you. But you got overshadowed by him.

[Shannon Dawson]

That's what I'm saying. He's making me look bad.

[Drew Franklin]

The comments are much worse, too. She's like, I was lost on set if he wasn't near me. Like they had. She had to be by his side the whole time.

[Shannon Dawson]

To steal your girl.

[Ryan Lemond]

Brad.

[Matt Jones]

Very empowered to say it, Drew. I mean, you're right. In that interview, she was like, I don't. Wouldn't have gotten through this Valentine's Day without him.

[Drew Franklin]

I think she used the word codependent. Like, I had to have him write.

[Shannon Dawson]

Her off on her taxes. Codependent.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

If you're the husband, it just. I think. I think you got to take the l here.

[Matt Jones]

But do you. I mean, do you go beat him up, Ryan? Do you. Or is it like. Like, what do you do?

[Ryan Lemond]

I don't think you can beat him up, but you. You have to.

[Matt Jones]

You have to.

[Ryan Lemond]

Boundaries. You have to put some boundaries up.

[Matt Jones]

What's the boundary you're going to put?

[Ryan Lemond]

I think I tell her. I said, look, this is inappropriate. You don't need to be having this kind of relationship with this guy.

[Caller]

You're married.

[Matt Jones]

What are you going to tell him?

[Ryan Lemond]

My wife's who I'm concerned about, not him.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, you're not going to get. You're not mad at him.

[Ryan Lemond]

She needs to tell this dude to back off, and she needs to back off.

[Matt Jones]

Well, she didn't buy the roses.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, she's codependent. Following around the movie set, the whole where. I don't know what I could do without it.

[Matt Jones]

So you're. I. I think you're.

[Shannon Dawson]

I love where this is going.

[Matt Jones]

I know you. I feel like you're confronting this man. Right? I feel like you're like. Let's say. Let's say Bill Mack did this. Tom Ackerman.

[Drew Franklin]

It's perfect names right there. Yeah, same dog.

[Matt Jones]

You're gonna confront him, Ryan. I know you.

[Ryan Lemond]

I would Go up to him. I know exactly what I would say.

[Matt Jones]

All right, go for it. What's. What are you saying to him?

[Ryan Lemond]

I say, look, dude, this ends today. Stop. Then you walk off. You don't want to drag it out, make it some big scene. You get your point.

[Caller]

All right.

[Matt Jones]

You know, a rule is not a rule without a punishment, though.

[Drew Franklin]

This is a celebrity. He doesn't care what you're saying.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Caller]

So what?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, exactly. This is Jacob Elordi. He's not really worried about you.

[Ryan Lemond]

I've said my piece. I've talked to my wife.

[Matt Jones]

So let's say. Let's say next Valentine's Day, he sends twice as many roses.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm more mad at her, I think, than.

[Matt Jones]

He hasn't done anything.

[Ryan Lemond]

She's codependent.

[Shannon Dawson]

She's accepting the roses and.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, so you think she should have thrown it in his face?

[Shannon Dawson]

Yes.

[Drew Franklin]

And she also did a very big interview talking about how codependent she was.

[Ryan Lemond]

See that? I'm more mad at her. I think that I am the dude at that point.

[Odoo Advertiser]

Point.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I understand that. I think the interview was where she screwed up. Right? The interviews where she screwed up. She. It's not her fault he bought the roses.

[Shannon Dawson]

No, but she seems to like it a little too much.

[Matt Jones]

She seems to like it.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

She needs to put a stuff.

[Drew Franklin]

A simple. I don't need roses. My husband could send roses.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, yeah, but then they have to be. But they have to be romantic in the movie. They're gonna have to have chemistry.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, but not in real life, though. I'm with Drew on this one.

[Drew Franklin]

Margot Margo's clothes are in the yard.

[Matt Jones]

All right.

[Caller]

Sorry.

[Matt Jones]

By the way, did you see. Did you see that a second? The labor secretary came out as also having a relationship with her security guard.

[Drew Franklin]

I thought you're gonna say with Margot Robbie.

[Shannon Dawson]

Who is it having.

[Drew Franklin]

But another. More in politics.

[Matt Jones]

This wasn't a senator. Remember the story said four senators?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

This is a labor secretary came out. She, too, has had a relationship with her security guard.

[Drew Franklin]

I hate politicians.

[Matt Jones]

If you want to get. If you want to get with a senator. Shane.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah. You better be ready if you want.

[Matt Jones]

To get with Lindsey Graham. Shane. I know what job you can get. Just go be a security guard. Who's next?

[Shannon Dawson]

Let's go to Mike.

[Matt Jones]

Mike. Go ahead. Mike.

[Caller]

What's up, fellas? I called in with a basketball tag, but you triggered me with this. I'm a truck driver. This. These safety features they put on all this stuff today. And you hit the nail on the head. When you talk about giving the government control and giving up rights because making everything political but you can't fix stupid with technology. That's just, I mean, that's what they're trying to do. If people are, you know, like these trucks, they'll, they'll lock the brakes up if they get ice on the sensors because they got the auto stop and all that stuff is not safe. And it's, it's just ignorant. They just need to quit doing all that stuff and people need to quit buying.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, well, but now they might not have a choice.

[Caller]

Well, it's like these E logs, okay. They say they put these in for the truck drivers to make them safer, Right?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Now when this thing clicks down to your last minute, all these truck drivers are running as hard as they can go because they're up against the clock instead of just taking their time. Because back in the old days, we just wrote down whatever, which I know that's kind of.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, so you're saying when they're, when their clock is. When their Glock is about. Clock is about to run, they're like hitting the gas.

[Caller]

Oh, yeah, they're flying. I'm telling you. That's why all these accidents they have. Actually, if you do the research, there's been more truck accidents that they put e logs in than there was before.

[Shannon Dawson]

Had a semi flying by me and as I was doing 35 on 65 yesterday.

[Matt Jones]

Interesting. Yeah, that's interesting. I can see what you're saying. That makes sense. Well, all right, I appreciate it. See, this is why it's nice to have experts in the conversation. That makes perfect sense, though, Trying to get in before the clock. I'm amazed at how fast these semis will go in the, on the snow and.

[Shannon Dawson]

Oh, no, that's what I'm saying. Like I was on I65 going 35 miles an hour. That's as fast as I felt safe going. And this semi was just flying by me.

[Matt Jones]

Like you remember when we were driving in Iowa during that snowstorm, Drew. Well, this was with Drew and Tomlin and how fast those, how fast those semis were going.

[Drew Franklin]

And all we could see was just like white in front of us. You could even see a road.

[Matt Jones]

That's the most scared I've ever been. I mean, I was scared in New York. Yeah, yeah. But the one in Iowa, in some ways they both were scary for different. What reasons. But that one was bad.

[Matt Jones]

Conditions and restrictions and lines he loves. This is Doug Stone.

[Shannon Dawson]

That's right. Yeah. Good call.

[Matt Jones]

I like Doug Stone.

[Shannon Dawson]

Me too.

[Matt Jones]

I found myself last night when I was driving. I was singing two songs. One was Mark Chestnut. You and I are like the last two Mark Chestnut fans left.

[Shannon Dawson]

A big fan.

[Odoo Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

And then Delilah by Tom Jones.

[Shannon Dawson]

Well, you're more on your own on that one. I'm good with Mark Chestnut.

[Matt Jones]

You should go watch. Did you know that song?

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, I've heard it.

[Matt Jones]

He sings it with Pavarotti. You need to hear it.

[Shannon Dawson]

That doesn't change my mind.

[Matt Jones]

It's a great song. I don't know why you have to be so rude.

[Shannon Dawson]

We gotta check out Mark Chestnut's tour schedule though.

[Matt Jones]

If he ever is singing with Tom Jones and Pavarotti, that would be a great threesome. All right.

[Shannon Dawson]

If Mark Chestnut's a part of it, you might get me on board.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, I could get you to go see Pavarotti, but only if Mark Chestnut. First of all, I think Pavarotti's dead, so I don't think we can get him.

[Shannon Dawson]

Dig him up? I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

Dig him up?

[Shannon Dawson]

I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

It's not very nice. 859 280-2287. Kentucky plays 9 o'.

[Caller]

Clock.

[Matt Jones]

Pregame show starts at 6:30. We will be all over the place for the show, but you can go watch the game at KS Bar. Also, if you. The super bowl, it's coming in a week and a half. Remember, we'll have all the wings, all the specials, all that for. We have to Call it the big game on the graphics rhyme, which I hate. But everybody knows it's the super bowl and that all those specials are out now if you want to get your orders in.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. There's some spots you can't say that word and other spots you can say that word. I never know what's going on.

[Matt Jones]

I think we can say it on news shows. You technically can't say it on an ad. So we'll say it's the super bowl, and then. Pause, pause, pause. Drew, you need food for the. For the game. The big game, right? Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

For making our picks for the game. We're talking about the Super Bowl. But if you need a place to go watch and eat wings, come watch the big game with us.

[Matt Jones]

That's right. Drew and I have a problem that Drew doesn't even know about yet. Ryan.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay, what is it?

[Matt Jones]

We're going to the Super Bowl. The NFL's between me and you. The NFL's credit card wouldn't work. I think. I think they canceled. The NFL?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. NFL caught wind of that.

[Matt Jones]

We ran the NFL dry. So we're gonna get it. We'll get our flight and all that. And they have a hotel from us for us from Tuesday to Friday, but we're staying Friday to Sunday, and there's really not much of an option of what to do. So I don't really have a place. We've got to find somewhere to stay in the Bay Area Friday to Sunday. And I know a guy who's in my fellowship, who's got a lot of money, who I sent a text message sort of hinting, ryan, would you want to have a guest or four guests?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I guess.

[Matt Jones]

Plus three, because he's got a massive, like, estate. But if that doesn't work out, I'm not really sure where Drew, Mario, Billy, and I are going to be Friday and Saturday night at the super, because the hotels are. I can't justify going to the NFL and giving the payment slip for. So, Ryan, that's just out there as a looming concern is, it's San Francisco.

[Ryan Lemond]

Is that where you're going?

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, Robbie Moss's brother, Austin Moss, works for the 49ers out there. Maybe you could check with him.

[Matt Jones]

We don't know him. I can't just call up Austin Moss and say, can we stay with. I don't even know that person.

[Ryan Lemond]

But, yeah, you could. You want just a random person to offer you a place to stay?

[Matt Jones]

I. Well, no, I'm not asking people listening. I'm just saying I'm just highlighting an issue we have.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. Because we've never stayed with random strangers before.

[Matt Jones]

It worked but I don't know. Austin Moss may not want us. You're volunteering Austin Moss? I'm just giving you the super bowl.

[Drew Franklin]

Weekend and they've probably had a few requests.

[Matt Jones]

Probably.

[Ryan Lemond]

Probably full.

[Matt Jones]

What do you think Austin Moss thinks right now, Shannon?

[Shannon Dawson]

I don't want probably thinking to keep my name out of this be dragged into this situation. Don't make, you know, your problem. His problem.

[Matt Jones]

That's right. DraftKings bet 5. Get $200 at DraftKings and bonus bets. Let's do I guess let's do Kentucky And Vandy Go DraftKings crown is yours. Well, there'll be parlays and a lot more tonight for the game and Kentucky at Vandy. Vandy's a six and a half point favorite. I guess I'll start with you, Mr. Vandy fan. Shannon, what would you do if you were going to draft kings?

[Shannon Dawson]

I think Vandy wins but. But Kentucky covers. So if you're going point.

[Matt Jones]

So you would take Kentucky to cover.

[Shannon Dawson]

Six and a half.

[Odoo Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

All right. What about you? Right.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, I like that and I think I want to take that guy's advice. Have Kentucky to win the second half because that seems to be the mo that this team does. But I'll take Bandy to win but Kentucky to cover.

[Matt Jones]

All right. What about you?

[Drew Franklin]

I like Vandy cover or excuse me, Kentucky covering as well. I like might even do a little money line. I'm feeling good but it's one of those, you know, you get cautious because you're feeling good. I'm confused as why I feel so good but I won't woke up thinking win. So I definitely like the COVID How about that?

[Matt Jones]

Well, all three of you taking that, I've got kind of a contrary view. I think this game I think we're going to be competitive tonight. I don't think we're going to get blown out like we have in some of these games against good teams. I think we're going to be competitive but I think we're going to end up losing by like 8 or 9. So I would probably take Vandy to cover. I do however think that we're going to be down to the final play Ryan in Fayetteville on Saturday.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, that would be exciting if we take.

[Matt Jones]

I'm not saying we're going to win Saturday but I think that game is going to be one that we play to the last play. I just have a sneaking suspicion but.

[Drew Franklin]

I'll sign up for that right now. Whatever that last play is, I'll sign.

[Matt Jones]

Up for a. I went to if you tell me we can get to a last play in that game, I'll take it. But I think tonight I just, I don't like I don't feel good about it. But we'll see. We will be. Hopefully I'll feel better at 6:30 for the pregame show. Thank you all very much for listening. We'll see you at 6:30 tonight. This has been Kentucky Sports Radio.
