Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Levity: Winter Olympics Deep Dive

Timestamps: 04:15–11:41

• Two-man Luge Antics: Extended riff on the absurdity and origins of the two-man luge, packed with innuendo and laughter about the sport’s required “spooning.” The crew imagines a multi-person luge for comedic effect.

  • Drew Franklin:

    • “It’s one of the only two man sports where you literally have to spoon. Like, you have to cuddle a bit to be good at it.” (08:48)

  • Drew Franklin:

    • “Next two [games] might even be the most winnable. South Carolina, they’re down bad... But you cannot—road or not—lose that one.” (15:06)

3. NIL (Name, Image, Likeness): The Donor ‘Death Spiral’

Timestamps: 21:02–25:27

• Future of Donor Funding:

  • The crew ponders whether disappointing seasons will cause major donors to pull back, risking a downward cycle in program resources and recruiting.

  • Matt Jones:

    • “I do wonder... our female fanbase is much more positive than our male fanbase.” (32:18)
    • “A huge part of our fan base is women, and they are probably much more positive, generally speaking, than the males.” (33:27)
    • “If I can get those [casual and female] listeners, the hardcores come along for the ride.” (35:48)

One of the biggest misconceptions about buying a home right now is that you have to wait for the perfect moment. Perfect rates, perfect timing, perfect market. The truth is that moment doesn't really exist. A lot of buyers pause because of headlines or assumptions. But every situation is different.

When you contact Stockton Mortgage, you get paired up with a local lender. That lender will give you your options. That lender will explain the situation. You can ask your own questions. That's what it's all about, getting to the closing table as simple and as easy as possible. Our friends at Stockton Mortgage focus on helping people understand their options. Whether you're ready to buy now, later, or just starting to ask questions, there's no pressure to make a decision, just a chance to get real information and and a clear picture of what's possible.

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

[A]

Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio 859-280-2287. We can't spend this whole show just being frustrated. By the way KS bar my trivia is Tom Night. You got your team ready?

[B]

I'm got half of them ready. I I'll load up the rest of my dream team by the end of the day.

[A]

You were one spot away from making it last time. We were right there so you're very close. You could make it this time.

[B]

Can you help me cheat a little bit?

[A]

No, but I'm working on the questions today and I'm going to make it extra special.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And I may even have one question that if you have paid attention to the shows you would get correctly. Oh, that's which means you're not going to get it correct even though you you're on it. Let's do one non UK basketball thing just to try to lighten the mood. Little Winter Olympics Canada is playing the Chechia. By the way, they don't call it the Czech Republic anymore. Czech Republic. Did you know that it's hard to keep up with what to call Czech. The Czech area used to be. You called it Czechoslovakia. Then they were like, no, not doing anymore. Then it was Czech Republic. It's not that anymore. Now it's Chechy, Chechnya, Chechnya or Chechia. Either way, it's an ear. So just so you know, because I called it the Czech Republic, and somebody was like, nope, not that anymore.

[B]

Didn't know that.

[F]

It's hard. Hard to keep up with it.

[A]

All right, so I got asked a question which I think is good for the group outside of curling. Okay. Because that's the obvious answer to this question. Take curling out. Which winter Olympic sport do you think if you trained, you could get the best at? All right. So which winter Olympic sport, if you train for, like, a year, do you think you could get the best at? Not Olympic level, but good enough. Shannon, you go first.

[E]

The team bob sledding. I feel like once you get in there, you just kind of lay there and enjoy the ride. I know you have to shift your weight around a little bit, but I feel like I could do that.

[A]

So I ran. By the way, on the bobsled, if you want to do the team bobsled, the place you need to be is third in the.

[B]

In the.

[A]

Because the first person drives, the back person has to shift to be able to, like, handle the corners. The second person has to hold the driver and keep them in place. The third person is just along for the ride.

[E]

Well, there you go.

[A]

You remember Herschel Walker was the third person at one point.

[B]

That's right.

[A]

So you can learn to just. That's the. I think this is the correct answer. Unless someone gives me a better one. Third person in the bobsled. You just got to learn to run it quick enough and jump in there so that they don't leave you.

[F]

That's where I was leaning. I. I can't. Can't skate. So throw all those out.

[A]

I've never tried. You can learn to skate.

[B]

You're to train for it.

[F]

Well, I mean, I could, but compared to just sitting in a bobsled, I got a lean bobsled since I've never even attempted to skate, or I have for. Hey, Kentucky. That didn't go well. Never skied.

[A]

So you think you could luge?

[F]

Yeah, I would have to be a lose or a bobsled or something where I'm just holding on for dear life.

[C]

Would you.

[A]

Do you think you have the courage to lose your skill?

[F]

No, I would do any of these. I'd hop in the box.

[A]

Do a skeleton with your head first.

[E]

Oh, not me.

[A]

I don't think I would do that first. I'm not going head.

[F]

I'll do anything. Like we were talking about people trying the bobsled. If there's a pro in the bobsled with me, sure, throw me in there. Me just doing it. No, that's how someone dies. But I would do any of those events sitting with like a team where someone knows what's going on.

[A]

There are a couple sports I'd be interested how they decided to do them. Like skeleton. You know, they were always doing the luge. And to me, the luge always seemed crazy dangerous. What made them decide, how about we go head first?

[B]

Who's the crazy fool that decided that?

[A]

How about instead of feet first, let's just go head first?

[E]

Well, they were saying you could tell all the athletes that are do the skeleton because they have like a scar on their chin from hitting the ice.

[A]

Oh, really?

[E]

Yeah. So I guess every skeleton athlete has that scar.

[A]

But I just wonder, literally the thought process of this is not crazy enough. All right. I have, in my opinion, the sport that I understand how it happened the least. Two man luge.

[E]

Yeah, lay on top of me.

[A]

But what was this again? What was the scenario where they were like, lay on top of me.

[F]

You've never been out sled with the boys, had a few beers and you just all band together and make one big team.

[E]

I may have started in the Olympics.

[F]

That's how it started.

[B]

The Olympic village.

[F]

Hop on, bud. Let's get down this hill.

[A]

Okay, so my question is, who's driving? Is it the guy on the bottom or the top? Oh, boy. I don't know if you've seen it. It's quite a look.

[B]

Yes, it is.

[A]

First of all, I would think to do two man luge, you got to be friends with that person.

[B]

More than friends.

[A]

Yeah, but you, like, there are certain sports. Like, you know how we talked about how Mike and Mike didn't like each other and did a radio show? I think you have to like the guy laying on top.

[E]

I like to see Mike and Mike going down the loose together. If you don't like him, green, he's on top.

[A]

Yeah. And you have to go down all the way. That's gonna be.

[F]

It's one of the only two man sports where you literally have to spoon. Like you all have to cuddle a little bit to be good at it.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, like Ryan and I, we get along very well, but I wouldn't want to cuddle with him every night.

[F]

What if you all did a segment just laying Side by side here right now.

[A]

So then the guy on the bottom, he's holding on to the thing.

[B]

He's got to be the driver. Right.

[A]

So what's the guy on top doing?

[F]

Left, right, left.

[A]

And that's what I. You're laughing, but is that what he's doing? Is he like, all right, make a left up here.

[B]

And then.

[A]

Because the guy on the bottom can't see Shannon. That's right.

[E]

Yeah. You know why? Because you're laying on top of big fat head way.

[F]

And then maybe he.

[A]

Maybe I could see if you get off of me.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

Maybe the top uses his feet like, he uses his toes to break or to, like, aerodynamic point which way they want to go.

[B]

Maybe.

[A]

But it's got to be way too loud to communicate.

[E]

It feels really just unnecessary.

[B]

This whole.

[A]

It does feel un.

[E]

Extremely unnecessary.

[A]

It's like if they just started the downhill skiing and going, all right, but now you got somebody on your back.

[E]

Yeah. Let's just do, like, the triple luge. Like three people stacked on.

[A]

Let's just put a guy on our backs and see what happens. I feel like what has happened is there weren't enough winter Olympic sports, so they just started adding things. Like, they've started adding mixed relays. I mean, that's fine, but you don't see that in the Summer Olympics. They don't. That we don't hand them. Like, they don't hand in the 100. Okay, now hand to a woman. Now hand it to a child. Now hand it to a grandma. Like, it's like everybody. But. But they keep adding these sports. But I. I don't understand how the two man luge began.

[F]

Well, you say they're out of sports. I would think they were out of luges and had too many people and just had a buddy system.

[A]

Just get on top of it.

[F]

Yeah. We'll figure this out.

[A]

Drives. Because I don't. I don't understand what the guy on top is doing except being in the.

[F]

Way telling them where to get. Well, you're right.

[B]

Probably can't commute.

[F]

It might just be like a hip thrust. Like I'm. I'm kind of nudging us, Right. How cool would it be if.

[A]

Hey, buddy, you gonna take a right right up here?

[F]

I've got the best Olympic sport. How about you take that? But every round you had another person.

[B]

Oh, my.

[F]

So it gets to, like, six or seven Russians just on top of each other.

[A]

I would watch it. Every round you add another loser, you.

[F]

Get to take some seconds off per person.

[B]

I Love it.

[A]

I like the idea that you just keep adding people. Well, I, I, maybe the now this show has a long reach. There might be a two man loser listening.

[E]

There could be.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

I would be fascinated with how the two man lose began. What happens if you get into it and let's say you are the best two man lose team and you just decide you hate the guy. Still got to keep doing it.

[E]

Yeah. Lay there and do it.

[A]

You got to just keep, keep, keep doing it. So I'm a big fan. The Winter Olympics I have found very entertaining. They always sneak up on me every four years and I don't realize they're happening. And then when they do, I find joy. We got the story of the guy who told his girlfriend he had cheated on him.

[F]

Proposal.

[A]

We got, we got the proposal quad.

[F]

God, with maybe the biggest choke in Olympic history.

[A]

Our female gold medal contender, she kind of choked too.

[F]

Did you see the snowboarder or the figure.

[A]

No, the figure skater. She choked. She tried to do a triple axel and she, and she only did a double. So she got zero points. And they said she would have gotten more points if she fell down, but she didn't even try. And now she's, she's out of it too. She just finished and just started crying, which is sad, you know, but it's.

[F]

Kind of been a sad run. The French cheated. Our married couple from Wisconsin always going.

[A]

To win the medals.

[B]

They're way ahead, aren't they?

[A]

They're way ahead. Norway's going to win the goat, which makes sense because it's Norway and they're in Snowmore. But they're good. They're going to win the gold medal.

[B]

When is the women's USA Hockey gold match against Canada?

[A]

Is it today?

[B]

I thought it might be today.

[A]

I think it's maybe today or tomorrow. But Canada is losing right now to the, to Chechia. So. 859-280-2287 who's up next?

[E]

Joseph.

[A]

Joseph. Go ahead, Joseph.

[G]

Hey, Matt. I thought maybe this team maybe had turned a corner but after last night looks like we'll go another season with that Winning the conference. Would have been nice to have the Florida Missouri win. They keep every time and I think last night all the chances are now.

[A]

Gone for, for what?

[G]

The double buy or no to win the regular season.

[A]

Oh, well, we've definitely lost the regular season. Yeah, we, if we, even if we had it, we're three games back of Florida. Even if we had a small chance, it went away yesterday. So no, we're not going to win the regular season, like I said, I mean, you got to look at the. At the schedule, the schedule and the standings. We're, I think right now our big thing is can we get a double buy in the SEC tournament? I mean, we. We're probably on a path to play Florida on Friday in the SEC tournament. I mean, we may have two more games with Florida coming up here. So, you know, I don't know. It's. It's unfortunate. There were a lot of things on the table for us and that. That got hurt yesterday. I appreciate the call and I don't mean to be a doomsdayer, but, folks, there is a scenario where we don't make the NCAA tournament. It is a very plausible scenario. I mean, we're 17 and nine. Play at Auburn, we're gonna be an underdog. Play at South Carolina, probably a favorite, but you can lose that game even though they stink. If you're on the road, play Vandy at home, probably gonna be an underdog. Play at A and M, gonna be an underdog, and then play Florida at home, we're going to be an underdog. If you were to lose all those games, which I don't think we will, but if we did, I think. I don't know that we make the tournament. We probably don't. And if we win one, we're probably in. But we're kind of on the bubble and probably need to win at least one game in Nashville. So, I mean, I drew. I. The tournament was almost like a given, and I don't think. Think it's a given yet now, so.

[F]

Need to win a couple more games. Even though they're on the road, I think the next two might even be the most winnable. South Carolina, they're down bad. I mean, that's a tough environment, but you cannot. Even though it's a road game, I feel like we have to win that one with Florida. Vanderbilt and I still think A and M is good at the end of the road. So Auburn, they're so inconsistent. I don't know what we'll get Saturday, but you got to find a way to definitely get one of these two road games.

[A]

Hopefully both.

[B]

So what do you think they finished these last five games?

[A]

I think they'll finish two and two and three.

[B]

Where. What Two.

[A]

They'll steal one. I mean, we'll win at South Carolina and then we'll eat. I think we. I'm gonna just say we beat Vandy at home. I feel like we owe Vandy, so I'm gonna say they still might finish three and two. I, I, for some reason I feel like they'll win one of at Auburn and one at Auburn A and M. I feel like they'll steal one of those just because that's what they've been doing. I don't know which one, but I just kind of feel like they'll steal one of them.

[F]

I worry if they get whooped at Auburn. That's three in a row. And all the goodwill and confidence they had built up from that run, I don't want them to lose it because it has felt like they've turned a corner and I don't. With a couple games left, them kind of get back in a rut and lose all the momentum they had built up on that run.

[A]

So one person says, matt, I actually think the, the guy on top drives and the guy on bottom doesn't. Well, then what's he do? If, if the guy on the bottom's not driving, he's the most worthless athlete of all.

[F]

Just, that's the one I want.

[B]

Just there for the start, the push off on the start.

[A]

Well, he just has a guy laying on top of him and he's just sitting there being squished the whole way.

[E]

Carrying the weight of the other guy. So he's all he does.

[A]

So he's not, if he's not doing anything.

[F]

I'm gonna figure out how this works.

[A]

Yeah. All right. Who's that?

[B]

Kind of fascinating. Figures out something we know, we'll stop.

[A]

I'll do it, do a break and then I'll take a call. Cornbread hemp. If you want to rest, relax and feel, live the good life.

Techie Sports Radio. 859-280-2287 Text Machine 772-774-5254. It's Czechia. Czechia, Czechia. They lead 21 against Canada. That would be a huge upset if Canada were to go down. We play Sweden today. Sweden's good. So we could get. If we're not careful, we could get knocked out.

[B]

Was this men's hockey?

[A]

The women play for the gold. The men are in the quarterfinals, and they play sweet. Okay, one person writes. Matt, where was this? Oh. How much money do you think Nil Pope will get next year to spend? It's a great question. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I. Do you. I don't know if we will get the same amount of resources from donors that we had this year. It's a good question. I think they probably get the same, but. But, but I don't know for sure.

[B]

I could see donors, like, questioning, like, look, I gave a lot of money last year and this is the product I got you guys. Did you know May finish with 19 wins? I'm not giving you as much this year. I can see some donors maybe being a little reluctant.

[A]

But the funny thing, this is the death spot. I think it's one of the things that's interesting to watch in college sports. You can have a death spiral if you're not careful with your program because you can end up. If you spend a lot of money and don't win, the donors don't want to give you as much money to spend the next year, which makes it harder to get players, which might make your team worse. Like, you could end up in a spiral where you kind of go downhill. And that's the. That could be a problem.

[F]

Yeah. And I'll admit I'm pretty worried about it. I've thought this since donors started paying this nil. They're not going to do it forever. They did not get rich by just giving people money to blow. They need some Return. They need some happiness. They need to see these players play well. And if you go a couple seasons without that, I don't think these rich people would keep writing that check. I think they would be crazy to keep writing the check.

[A]

Well, it's interesting. I mean, the whole economics of NIL goes against what rich people do. Like, think about it for a minute. Rich people's goal is to make money, right?

[B]

Invest money to make money.

[A]

Invest money to make money. But nil, even if it works and you win, you're not making the money back.

[F]

No, it's your, it's, you're just happiness.

[A]

It's like, it's like you're giving it to a charity that doesn't really do good work. I mean, you're giving it to a charity that essentially is just to make you personally happy for sports. So I was looking at, there was an interesting thing online I saw yesterday, which I could do a whole different episode of Interrupted about, but I won't right now, which was looking at the 15 richest people in America right now and how much money they give to charity versus the 15 richest people in the 1970s and, and how much money they gave to charity. And basically the premise was the 15 richest people in the 1970s gave a lot of money to charity. They created charitable foundations like the Rockefeller foundation and all these things that did really good work. And if you look at the 15 richest people today, only 2 of the 15 give a lot to charity. And one of them, Bill Gates, is problematic for other reasons. Now that really Warren Buffett, the only richest person that really gives significant amounts of charity, whereas like Elon Musk, Larry Ellison Zuckerberg gives some, but not the percentage that people used to that essentially they give very little money to charity. And the point was kind of to say charities are like, hey, part of the deal of being so rich in America is you're going to give stuff back. And people don't do that. Now that's all a lot a thing to say. Giving the sports in il is almost kind of giving it to a charity in some ways because you're not getting the money back, right? And you do wonder how long do these people do this? You know?

[F]

And imagine your charity in one case, you open your phone and they're throwing the money on Snapchat. And I'm being very serious about that. That is somebody's hard earned dollars that was thrown at a fan.

[A]

There is someone out there who gave Zach Calzada $1.5 million and they saw him sit the bench and get on charity and say, who?

[C]

What?

[F]

Garrett, Gary, get your money.

[A]

Gary, get your money. Right. I think I can see a lot of pitch. I'm not doing that.

[B]

I agree.

[F]

Like, you just made a mockery of that million that I worked hard to make.

[A]

It's one thing if you give it to, you know, Francisco Mendoza. It's another thing if you give it to something like that.

[B]

So much has been made out of this 22 million dollar roster. People keep bringing it up. I think the people that help donate to that are going to be a little reluctant to give that money next year.

[A]

One person writes, Matt, I want you to ask Ryan of a television show that I know he watches or if he doesn't watch, I think he would love. Does he watch Love is Blind?

[B]

I do not. I've heard of it, but I don't watch it. Actually, I heard it's pretty good.

[F]

I'm on my first season of it. I tried to fight it.

[A]

So Love is Blind this season is set in Cincinnati.

[B]

Oh, is it?

[A]

Did you know? Everyone in it is from Cincinnati.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And you know, so the premise, I think is like, you, you, you don't get to see each other. You just try to fall in love just by talking and then you. It's revealed. And it feels like the premise of the show is just they see each other and they both are like, what do we do?

[F]

The look on their faces, they can't, they can't hide how they're feeling.

[A]

They're all, no, they all.

[F]

You got some disappointments.

[A]

Oh, no, you're not attractive. And it feels like, why would you go on that show? It would be so embarrassing for someone to look at you and be like.

[B]

How long do they talk back and forth for the big reveal?

[F]

Oh, they get very. They propose without even seeing it. They get serious in just a matter of days. But what hooked me is Abby showed me one from a couple seasons ago. This, this woman kept saying she looks like Megan Fox. And the guy obviously has a picture of Megan Fox. And they get this relationship and they do the grand reveal. And respectfully to her, she looks absolutely nothing like Megan Fox. And his face says, you do not look like Megan Fox. So that's what hooked me. How some people will just blatantly lie of what they look like, get engaged.

[A]

And then they still try to, like, make it work, but it's clear that they don't like each other. I saw a clip yesterday where he was like, she goes, you don't say, I'm pretty. And he was almost like, well, I.

[B]

Mean.

[A]

But all these people are from Cincinnati. Which. Which the reason I say that is there've got to be a lot of people listening to show who know.

[F]

Who knows?

[B]

Some people that are gonna be on the show.

[A]

They are all from Cincinnati. Everyone's single in at this time.

[B]

Somebody listening right now know somebody's gonna be on. Is on the show right now.

[A]

So I feel like you should be our Love is Blind correspondent.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

You can tell us if it's good.

[F]

New episodes tonight. You can get caught up.

[B]

This is episode number two tonight.

[F]

No, no, there's a bunch, Al, but.

[B]

You know, I want to watch just the Cincinnati episodes.

[A]

That's.

[F]

Well, it's the whole season. It's Love is Blind Ohio. They do different areas.

[A]

Yeah. So this one is Cincinnati. It's like Cincinnati and Dayton.

[F]

Columbus.

[A]

Yeah. Who's up next?

[E]

Daniel.

[A]

Daniel. Go ahead, Daniel.

[G]

I'm glad you guys are doing good today.

[A]

Well, thank you.

[G]

Switching gears a little bit, when y' all were talking about the Olympics the other night, it was either Sunday or Monday night. They were having the long version of the double skating, and Terry Gannon threw out a Myronism. The male skater lifted up the woman skater and threw her and then caught her and laid her down softly on the ice as she was skating. He said that they are so smooth. They go together like peanut butter and jelly.

[A]

Oh, did they really? Oh, I didn't know he said that. That's good. Well, Myron's things are stacking up. I appreciate the call. You got a shout out yesterday. Tom Hart said if you. If you work hard. You're hardly working or whatever it is.

[B]

Everything works if you work hard at it. I heard that. Last I heard Tom give the shout out. He's just the best. He just always has in a KSR drop during his broadcast. So thank you, buddy.

[A]

You got to feel good that your slogan is starting to catch on.

[B]

I was afraid he's going to do Lovers at some point during the.

[A]

I don't think he would do that. He knows how that sounds. Yeah. I heard you ended up making, like, a ton of money at Valentine's Day.

[B]

It was over a thousand dollars doing, like, over 40 cameos.

[A]

You made a thousand dollars at $25.

[F]

A pop, saying, for lovers.

[B]

For lovers.

[A]

What's my.

[F]

What a country.

[A]

We'll take a break. Be right back. It's ksr. TJ Smith, personal injury attorney.

[D]

Call tj.

[A]

He'll make him pay.

[E]

Oh, yeah, he mentioned that. I think yesterday, maybe off the air.

[A]

Yeah. You're showing me a house. It's a. A house of a former UK person. I'm not gonna say which one, but that would be. You better not screw this up.

[F]

Cal's house on Richmond Road.

[A]

Buying cow's house. Yeah.

[E]

Money you got.

[B]

It's a very nice house. I worry about it where it is because, you know, you kind of like.

[A]

You don't have to tell people where.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Matter of fact, don't.

[B]

I won't.

[A]

But are you gonna embarrass me?

[B]

No, I'm just gonna be your realtor and show you around and point out things and let you make it look so.

[A]

You're gonna point out things?

[B]

Yeah, I'll point out some things.

[A]

You're gonna tell me what I need to see?

[B]

Sure. Yeah.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Are you excited?

[A]

I've been to one of these with you, and you had holes in your socks.

[F]

That's his move.

[B]

That was.

[A]

That was Drew's. Yeah. Yeah.

[F]

These little. Little piggies were coming out for you.

[A]

Yeah. You put your little second toe was peeking out and giving people a little. A little whoopsie. I didn't know that that was. I had to stop. One person writes, matt, do you think there are more fans like Darlene from the post game show, and they just don't get their voice heard as much? Did you. Did you hear Darling?

[B]

I didn't hear Darlene last night. What'd she say?

[A]

So Darlene called and was basically like, I'm just very positive. I think UK basketball can still be good this year and Mark Pope can still be good. And I don't know why everybody always counts us out so quickly. Basically, I'm just a lot more positive. I'm. I'm. Darling. That was essentially what she said. And yeah, I think there's a lot. I think there are. Like, you two ladies were shaking your head. I do wonder if. If some respect. Our female fan base is much more positive than our male fan base. They just. And you're shaking your head. So we have three women in here. They're all saying the same thing. They. Their kids. Yeah. So I actually, I do think it's important to remember, like. Like, if when you go on Twitter, like, no women post on Twitter or not a lot. Do you all post on Twitter? No. Don't even have Twitter. You all are like, you're probably Facebook, Instagram people, right? Barely. I do think it's important to remember that a huge part of our fan base is women, and they are probably much more positive, generally speaking, than the males.

[F]

Drew. Yeah, that's probably the case with the demographics. And just over the years, I've learned that there. There's just different types of fans. There are fans, male, female, adult, kid. Even after a loss like Georgia, they just don't want to hear a bad word like, we're fine. We're going to fix it. There's five games that we're going. Five. Like, they just. They can't have the convert. Like, if. If we say we didn't shoot well, they hear well, you think this team's never going to win a game and you don't like them and they can't shoot. No, I'm saying last night they did not shoot well in that game and they lost. Just give me an example. I mean, the shot well last night, but there are people who just have that. I don't want to hear negative people about Kentucky basketball because we're going to win out, and that's a good way to live. But there's just different ways people fan.

[A]

Yeah, I like Darlene's call. I think the thing that. The biggest mistake I think Kentucky fans make is assuming the entire fan base is like them and their friends, right? Because you tend. People tend to run with people that are like them, and so you think everyone is. Is like you when it comes to programming this show. I program this show. To be quite frank with you. For you three ladies. No, I'm being dead serious, because my theory is the men love Kentucky sports enough that they're gonna be all right. I'll throw them some bones, right? Like, I'll say, hey, hey, Drew, don't you think Mitch Barnhart should resign?

[F]

Is this. Do you want my answer?

[A]

No, because I know.

[F]

I'll say it. I'll say it.

[A]

Throw those bones out there, right? Talk wrestling with Shannon. But at the end of the day, when I see young people who don't listen to radio or women or casual fans listening, I'm like, now we're winning. Because if I program for the hardcore people, no, sports radio kind of sucks in the ratings. Like, if you go look across the country, sports radio does not do well in general. But if I can get those people, the hardcores come along for the ride, and they may go, matt Jones, you stinking liberal. You talk enough sports, but they'll still listen. And now you can produce a big audience. Uk One of the things they have to do is marketing is they are not just going after the hardcore, angry people on social media. And that's why sometimes I do think they do things that people don't understand.

[B]

You know, it's interesting to hear you talk about it. Then you think of all of our female callers. We rarely get a negative female call about football, basketball, anything. There are much more.

[A]

Women are nicer. I mean, it's just true. Women don't fight as much as men. They fight in a different way, but they're nicer.

[B]

Women are just nicer and more optimistic, maybe about things.

[A]

Maybe because if you're a woman growing up like a nut, you have to deal with enough junk from men that you kind of learn. You got to keep optimism, Right? All right.

[F]

Ladies night at Rep arena, only women get in.

[A]

Oh, if you had a game that was all. Obviously, if you had a game that was only women in there, it would be as loud and positive.

[B]

It would.

[A]

It would Think about what the players. Interesting. It would be interesting to see. Well, I mean the ladies clinic. It's just all people whistling.

[B]

Always extremely popular.

[F]

Yeah. That's one of the best things they do.

[A]

Except they don't do it anymore.

[F]

That's one of the best things they did. No Pope still does it. On basketball, I think football might have dialed it back at the.

[A]

It's people sometimes don't like when I make the analogy. But you know, this state, it's very easy for you to think everyone in the state believes what you do, even politically. Like even when, you know, when Trump WINS Kentucky by 30 points, that still means 35% of the state voted for. That's a huge amount of people. If you're with two other people, one of them voted for, voted against him. But if you only spend time with people that are like, you're like, well, where are the. Where are the Harris. But. Well, there's a third of the people in the state are.

[B]

And Kentucky basketball means so much to everybody in this state. You know, we live and die by every game, every basket, every second. The guys are just a little harder to get over a tough loss maybe than.

[A]

Yes. And I feel like Shannon in some ways I'm almost in the middle.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Between.

[E]

I have somebody's got to balance it all.

[A]

I have some male. And then, you know, at least I try to be nicer than a lot of people sometimes are to me. But it doesn't all, you know, doesn't always happen. Who's next?

[E]

Lindsay.

[A]

Lindsay. Go ahead, Lindsay. Hey, so sorry to switch gears, but.

[G]

What do you think the chances are.

[A]

The spring game will be at night.

[G]

To make room for the Vandy series baseball game that Same Saturday at 2? Or do you think they'll do it early?

[A]

I hadn't thought about that. Well, first of all, I appreciate the call. Let's talk about they're bringing back the spring game. We haven't talked about this yet. Great news, right?

[B]

Great news. Yes. I think our fan base missed the spring game and I'm glad they're going to bring it back.

[A]

Yes, I'm glad. I think it will be very crowded for the first Will Stein, when you may remember the first Mark Stoops one was an amazing crowd. I think you'll see a lot of people if the weather is good. Drew come out to the spring game. I do too.

[F]

I love. She mentioned the baseball doubleheader. I don't know what they'll do. Hopefully they don't put them up against each other. I mean, maybe you do an early spring game at noon and encourage people to walk over to baseball. But I think they're going to have a lot of people there. Like that first stoopsman. That first stoops when people were tailgating. Like, you know, not Louisville was in town, but an actual football game was about to take place. The parking lots were pretty full for hours. Have that again this year.

[A]

I love the idea of baseball game at 2, spring game at night. Wouldn't it be awesome making it an awesome day on campus. Basketball will have ended and you just make it to where everybody comes out to. To have like a day like that. That could be awesome.

[F]

That's also Keeneland. Maybe the last Saturday of Keeneland. That is the last Saturday of Keenan.

[A]

Yeah, but that's. I don't think that matters to me.

[F]

I'm just saying people that want to.

[A]

Come to town, you can have people, everyone right there. They are right next to each other there. And I think that would be very, very cool.

[B]

I like the spring game under the lights too. After the baseball game, people can tailgate before the baseball game. Maybe then tailgate after the football game. I love that idea.

And Peacock. Welcome back. Turkey Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. On Text Machine, one person writes, Matt, you can 100 tell you've never been married nor had a wife with a lot of female friends. Females are not nicer in no way, shape, or form. Most are like cats with their claws constantly out.

[B]

My goodness, That's a man who's single sleeping on a couch.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

I was about to say, which one of us sounds like the one that hasn't been around females? I. Most of my friends are women. Women are nicer. Now. Women have their things, too, but in general, yeah, women. Women are nicer. And you're. You know, this sounds like a person who wants to fight women all the time, who's always like, my wife and their friends.

[F]

He might want to get his situation figured out.

[A]

I feel like you're more. Maybe this is more your issue, sir, than mine in particular.

[B]

I better be careful.

[F]

Yeah, you're all right, man. You good. Texas help.

[A]

You feel like after that game with Pope. Hey, man. Everything all right?

[F]

All right.

[A]

All right. So we have a new game sponsored by Wild Eggs that. I am fascinated how this happened. I guess Wild Eggs is on a roll with Ryan, and they decided they're going to give a $50 gift card to Wild Eggs every Wednesday. It's Wild Eggs Wednesday, and Ryan, you're putting up what online?

[B]

A scrambled word. Like spin off their scrambled eggs. Every Wednesday, Mario's gonna post a scrambled word. And the thing about these gift cards, it's not just Lexington, Louisville, it's Bowling Green, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and the entire area. You can use your Wild Eggs gift card, but if you win. But the first person to unscramble the word to Mario is the one.

[A]

So Mario is putting right now the word on KSR's Instagram, and the first person who responds with the answer will win a 50 wild eggs gift card.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

All right, so Mario, you putting it up right now? Right now. All right, so it goes up now. I have it in front of me.

[B]

Oh, you have the word.

[A]

I looked at it this morning. I don't think I know what the word is. What do you mean? Ooh, have you not seen this is supposed to be your word?

[B]

No, I didn't. I didn't know what the word was going to be.

[A]

See, I knew it wasn't his word. Shannon. When I saw how hard it was, I was like, there's no way. Ryan came up with.

[E]

No, he's just the, the spokesperson for it.

[A]

So I looked at this and I'm not certain what the word is. I thought it was one thing, but then I looked at it.

[B]

Uhhuh.

[A]

And it's not that.

[F]

How many letters does it have?

[A]

Well, here it is. I thought it was. I thought it was. I will say I thought it was gullible, but it's not. It can't be because of the letters. So don't say we can't answer it. But I don't. I have to tell you, I don't know what it is.

[B]

I don't know what that is either. That's a hard one.

[A]

I mean, I'm sure you could probably just put this in the AI and get it and that room, it'll be.

[F]

A race for who's.

[B]

But nevertheless, somebody's gonna get it run before me into the show.

[A]

I don't know what it is. And so you answer on Instagram, ksr, the show, and you'll. You'll get your first one for wild eggs Wednesday.

[B]

Wild Eggs Wednesday. Scrambled egg. Scrambled. Word.

[A]

I'm glad you didn't know the word. I didn't think.

[B]

Well, I think they were afraid to give it to me because I'm so smart. I would figure it out. It would slip out during the commercial.

[A]

Well, people, I thought you were going to come up with the word.

[F]

Oh, no, I did too. I was thinking we're looking at like a three or four letter word here.

[A]

It was going to be O, D, G, car.

[F]

I got it.

[A]

Who's next?

[E]

Let's go to John.

[A]

John. Go ahead, John.

[B]

Got a winner.

[A]

We already have a winner. Hey, man. Okay, go ahead, sir.

[G]

Hey, Matt, man, I've been screaming about free throw shooting for five or six games and I can't believe our best player can't shoot free throws. And we got 20 coaches on the bench. Can we have somebody that can showing? Or I'll drive up to Lexington from Louisville.

[A]

Oh, you're going to. You can teach them how to shoot free throws?

[F]

Absolutely.

[G]

I mean, I'm 75 years old and I can, I can make six 10 years ago. I could make eight out of 10. Okay.

[A]

Okay. But what do you think? I mean, do you think though that they're not being taught or maybe they're just not executing? Because I kind of feel like someone has taught them how to shoot a free throw.

[G]

Well, they're not executing and they're not taking them seriously. They're free throw.

[A]

Okay, I do agree that they don't always.

[G]

Seriously, I mean, always is just not. I mean, he's not relaxed. He's not.

[B]

He's just.

[G]

He's shooting a line drive up there and take his time. They add up. Yeah, Yeah. I mean, I can do it. I'm just let me know when I need to go up there.

[A]

I'll throw in your name, I'll tell them you're available and maybe that maybe they will take you up.

[E]

We already have this. Years ago. There was.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

We had the old guy, remember he tried to teach you. Teach me.

[E]

And I did. Well in the video. I couldn't do it.

[A]

And then you missed everything. You were like rhyme with the. The pots. You missed all of them.

[F]

That's right.

[B]

But you know, we had good free throw shooters at the line last night. Trent Noah is a great free throw shooter. Aberdeen's a great free throw shooter. They just missed them for whatever reason last night.

[A]

Yeah, I appreciate the call. I went down a wormhole yesterday and watched old KSTV videos or excuse me, hey, Kentucky videos, including I love watching the one with you, the outtakes of you doing your. I gotta learn my eights.

[B]

It was the hardest. Just out of nowhere. Laugh. I think any of us ever have all had together because it just came out of nowhere. All of us.

[A]

The outtakes are great. The outtakes of it are wonderful. I also watched you remember on hey, Drew and I on hey Kentucky. We just did. I don't know how they gave us a TV show to do it. We had some segments that were just so stupid but funny. Me and you dressed as people in the 90s. Yeah.

[F]

[A]

No dressing up.

[B]

No.

[A]

We were just wearing like Orlando Magic jersey.

I also don't understand why anybody didn't tell me how fat I was. How did I let myself go on TV like that for like.

Why didn't somebody say something?
