Key Discussion Points & Timestamps

1. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame: Who Deserves to Get In?

Timestamps: 03:41–10:46

• Main Theme: Matt and Shannon review the 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees and give their often comedic, occasionally contentious opinions on each artist’s worthiness.
• Artists Discussed: Oasis, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Sade, Lauryn Hill, Mariah Carey, Luther Vandross, Wu Tang Clan, and Phil Collins.

Notable Quotes:

• “They had a short run, but at their top, they literally said they were bigger than the Beatles.”—Matt on Oasis (04:31)
• "Mariah Carey should be in way before Sade."—Matt (06:58)
• “If we’re putting in one-hit wonders, then when does Chumbawamba get in?”—Shannon (22:27)
• “Now, apparently Phil Collins and Oasis hate each other…people in Britain are saying, like, they're going to have to keep them apart.”—Matt (10:16)

Segment Highlights:

• Shannon defends Billy Idol’s induction, Matt questions his seriousness as an artist.
• Both hosts are unfamiliar with Joy Division’s music, leading to on-air sampling and instant dismissal.
• They agree Mariah Carey is a glaring omission and Sade’s "Smooth Operator" alone isn’t enough for induction.
• The duo react to the drama of Oasis and Phil Collins entering together, referencing longstanding British music beefs.

2. DoorDash at the White House & Political Staging

Timestamps: 11:05–13:18 and 22:45–23:44

• Topic: Viral incident: A DoorDash delivery—allegedly spontaneous—brings McDonald’s to the White House, but it turns out the DoorDasher is a regular performer at Trump-related events.
• Matt’s Take: Points out the obvious pre-planning and the awkwardness as Trump pivots the moment to political talking points, catching the "grandmother" DoorDasher off guard.

Notable Quote:

• "She’s like, I just brought the DoorDash. Good for her. I love that."—Matt (12:16)

---

3. College Basketball Recruiting & NIL

Timestamps: 13:22–16:20 and 27:28–29:10

• Key Questions: Why would top recruits consider Kansas over Kentucky, given school/program culture and apparel contracts (Nike vs. Adidas)?
• NIL Angle: Discusses the potential for star recruit Tyrann Stokes to out-earn Kentucky’s head coach, Mark Pope, through NIL.
• Matt’s Perspective: Gets into how Nike may not want its signees playing at Adidas schools; says college basketball’s geography means much less to recruits from outside the region.

Notable Quotes:

• "I think players tend to really like Bill Self. They have their own culture there."—Matt (13:47)
• "If that’s true, Tyron Stokes could be the first player in college to ever make more than his coach."—Matt (28:10)

---

Timestamps: 24:45–26:59

• Context: The younger generation’s podcast and TikTok feud between Alex Cooper (“Call Her Daddy”) and Alex Earl is revealed.
• Hosts’ Reactions: Neither Matt nor Ryan seems to understand the relevance ("Who are these people?"), but they assign a "homework" for Ryan to investigate and report back.

Notable Moment:

• “This is the kind of thing he needs…rumors and maybe you need to dig into it. Getting the Reddit threads.”—Matt (27:20)

---

6. Community Debate: Proposed Rehab Facility in Chevy Chase

Timestamps: 31:25–40:17 (with callbacks at 47:02–50:12)

• Issue: Intense debate about whether a high-end historic Lexington neighborhood should accept a rehab facility.
• Major Arguments:
  • NIMBYism ("Not in My Backyard"): Matt explains the term and points out the hypocrisy of wanting social services—just not nearby.
  • Integration vs. Exclusion: Matt advocates for integrating necessary facilities into all neighborhoods, not just poorer parts of town. Ryan nervously navigates the issue, balancing his role as a realtor and public personality.
  • Safety, Traffic, & Aesthetics: Residents' concerns are addressed and largely dismissed (“Of all the arguments, that’s the fakest one. It’s 50 people.”—Matt, 35:03).
  • Personal Experience: Matt draws on his background in Middlesborough and experiences in Kentucky’s Highlands and Eastern Kentucky.

Memorable Quotes:

• "Why do we always think everything bad in town, we got to go put it where the poor people are? It can be everywhere. And it may even be more successful if you have it in a better area."—Matt (38:32)
• "Liberals are the most hypocritical about it. People on my side, we want to give people—but we're like, as long as it’s not me that has to suffer."—Matt (40:07)
• “When you choose to live in Chevy Chase, you are now amongst people. Right. That's what you're choosing.”—Matt (47:59)

Segment Highlight: Ryan’s visible discomfort on air about taking a stance ("My name’s Bennett and I ain't in it.") becomes a running joke, but he eventually sides in favor of the facility.

---

7. Miscellaneous & Fun

Timestamps: Scattered throughout (e.g., 24:27–24:32; 50:18–52:15)

• Bark in the Park Tactic: Tampa Bay Rays use dog-specific sound effects to distract opposing pitchers.
  • “If you’re a Major League Baseball player and you can’t throw a strike because a dog is barking, that’s on you.”—Shannon (24:32)
• Call-ins: Questions on the status of UK recruits, transfer portals, and podcaster Myron’s supposed controversies (Matt clears up confusion with a caller who’s got his sports media figures mixed up).

[Julian Edelman]

This is Julian Edelman from Games With Names. I want to take a second to talk about something that's personal to me. I've had the privilege of working closely with Robert Kraft for a long time, and one thing I've always respected is how seriously he takes up standing up to hate. As a Jewish athlete, my identity is something I am proud of, but I also know what it feels like to be singled out for it. That's why this new commercial for the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate that aired during the Big Game really hit home. It's about showing up for someone when they're targeted, even if you don't have the perfect words. And sometimes standing next to someone is enough. And you can show support by sharing the Blue Square.

[Kohler Ambassador]

When Kohler, global design leader in luxurious kitchen and bath products, asked me to be their ambassador for timeless, elegant, durable cast iron iron, I said, I'm in. Soon after, I was in their Kohler, Wisconsin foundry watching molten iron poured enamel applied by hand and the beautiful finished pieces ready to ship. Since 1883, Kohler cast iron has been crafted by incredible artisans, and seeing it firsthand gave me a whole new appreciation for their craftsmanship. Now I'm proud to lend my stamp of approval to my favorite Kohler cast iron products for their durability, beauty and enduring style. Shop my curated [e-mail] as the Kohler Cast Iron Ambassador, I say long live Cast Iron.

[Shannon]

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

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back our number two Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. All right, so let me do a couple things in to go right back to the phones. Text machine is 772-774-5254. Sorry to the text machine people. I've gotten a little busy. I just haven't been on it as much, but I will, I will read your stuff when the. When the show is over. All right, so the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. Shannon, I feel like we. First of all, I feel like they pick people a lot because I feel like we have this conversation a lot, but it's a conversation you're perfect for.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

All right, let's go.

[Matt Jones]

I will read you. Did you see who got in?

[Shannon]

I did.

[Matt Jones]

So we're going to say, do you think these people deserve to get in? We'll start with Oasis.

[Shannon]

Yes. They were kind of like the modern day or I guess the 90s. It was modern day. Like the Beatles. Everybody loved Oasis back then.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I mean, they had a short run, but at their top, they literally said they were bigger than the Beatles.

[Shannon]

That's right. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

The Gallagher brothers seem just awful.

[Shannon]

They hate.

[Matt Jones]

They still hate each other.

[Shannon]

I think they're back out and touring.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. So they can show up together.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so they're in. Are you good with that?

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

I'm good with Oasis being in.

[Matt Jones]

All right. Billy Idol.

[Shannon]

Yeah. I think you got to put him. And I was kind of surprised he wasn't already in.

[Matt Jones]

I'm a little surprised he got it. He got in because I don't see him as a serious person.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

But there, there were a point in the 80s, though, where he was as big as anybody.

[Shannon]

What do you mean, you think he's a comedian? I mean, what do you mean you don't see him?

[Matt Jones]

I'm just saying I felt like. Because his music to me is always kind of a little jokey. Like he cried more, more, more.

[Shannon]

No, that's just how he sings.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, what, what were his other songs?

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

White Wedding.

[Matt Jones]

White Wedding. Okay. But also kind of a jokey song, right, Mo? I didn't know. So he did. Moany.

[Shannon]

Yeah. Rupperino special. Those are.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so those are three huge songs.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

They were huge.

[Matt Jones]

Anything else? White Wedding, More Cradle Love.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Oh, that's another big one.

[Shannon]

Rock the Cradle, Dancing With Myself.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Oh, another.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, well, all right. So he's got to be in. Those are five. Those are five huge songs. All right, fair enough. Iron Maiden. I'm sure you believe they.

[Shannon]

Well, I'm not a big fan of Iron Maiden. They are headlining Louder Than Life and Metal Heads love them. So.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, if you're gonna have metal music in, then you gotta have Iron Maiden. Right? Because, I mean, they're, you know. I don't know who Joy Division and New Order are. I don't know who that is.

[Shannon]

Not really. I mean, I know they exist, but

[Matt Jones]

if you said, like, what kind of music is that?

[Shannon]

I really don't know.

[Matt Jones]

I don't either.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

No idea.

[Matt Jones]

Is it like.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

No idea? I was hoping you guys knew.

[Matt Jones]

Find Me Shannon. The biggest Joy Division song.

[Shannon]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Saday. Is that. Isn't that how you say it? You don't say Sade. I remember that from when they were saved.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

SA Smooth Operator.

[Matt Jones]

That's a big song. But I feel like that one to me is a stretch. I don't feel like I remember. I remember her, but, like, it doesn't feel like she was that big.

[Shannon]

Give me another song. She's a one hit wonder.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

I, I, I don't know another song, but I know that that was so big, I'm surprised she beat out Lauren Hill. They're both like R B singers.

[Shannon]

And Mariah Carey didn't make it.

[Matt Jones]

See, Mariah Carey should be in way before Sawdust.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Agreed.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

So Lauryn Hill too.

[Matt Jones]

All right. Luther Vandross. I was surprised Luther Vandross wasn't already in. True. Because it feels like to Me, Luther Vandross has existed my entire life. And every time I think of Luther Vandross, I think a king's a comedy when he goes. I like fat Luther, not skinny Luther. That's Cedric the Entertainer, I think.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I don't, however, know a Luther Vandross song.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah, you do.

[Shannon]

One Shiny Moment.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

One Shining Moment.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, of course. That was that. But that's not. I mean, that's only with the tournament. Do you know a song then?

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

He do some Disney songs. Disney movie songs.

[Matt Jones]

Like what?

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

But he feels like, to me, someone that's really, really famous.

[Shannon]

Here's his greatest hits. I'm going to name a few. You tell me if you know these songs.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Okay.

[Shannon]

Never too much.

[Matt Jones]

Nope.

[Shannon]

Endless Love.

[Matt Jones]

I know that song. My Endless Love. Yes.

[Shannon]

Dance with My Father.

[Matt Jones]

Don't know.

[Shannon]

I'd rather.

[Matt Jones]

No.

[Shannon]

Here and Now. Always and Forever. So I know.

[Matt Jones]

Always in forever. Okay, so that's two.

[Shannon]

Okay. So amazing. A house is not a home.

[Matt Jones]

Take.

[Shannon]

Take you out. If only for one. Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

If only for one night. So we know one or two.

[Matt Jones]

So. So I think he's one of those weird people, sort of like Wayne Newton, where, like, he's very, very popular, but I don't really know if his music is popular.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

That's a good way to put it. Sells out a lot of shows, but yet. Is it really.

[Matt Jones]

We talked about this with Wayne Newton. He's massively popular, and I'm not really sure what he sings either, so. But I'm okay with him being in. And then Wu Tang Clan. I mean, they're nothing to. To blank with, so they're in. I mean, that. It feels like. I don't know how. They're like 37 of those guys.

[Caller]

Yeah.

So.

[Matt Jones]

But I'm okay with them being into Shannon. You're all right with Wu Tang?

[Shannon]

Yeah. I mean, if we're putting everybody in, which we are, then I think they're a big enough name that you put them in. But I think, you know, saude over Mariah Carey. Come on.

[Matt Jones]

I think Sade should not be in.

[Shannon]

Come on.

[Matt Jones]

And I do it. I can't say that Joy Division shouldn't be in, but since I don't know who they are, I kind of don't think they should be in. Do you have a Joy Division song?

[Shannon]

I can play one after the break. We can. You want it right now?

[Matt Jones]

Well, I just didn't know the name of it.

[Shannon]

Love Will tear us apart. 92 million views. Somebody knows it, just not us.

[Matt Jones]

All right. Well, not me.

[Shannon]

If you want it, I can give

[Matt Jones]

you a go for it. Yeah.

[Shannon]

I know you love these. Long end.

[Matt Jones]

Is this a professional song? This sounds like it's made in a garage.

[Shannon]

It kind of does, doesn't it?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, this is. No, this is terrible.

[Shannon]

And this is from their official YouTube account, too. This isn't somebody who uploaded, like, a bad version of it.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, that's bad. So I would take them out now. Phil Collins also got it.

[Shannon]

Yeah, of course.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

He was the big name.

[Matt Jones]

Phil Collins.

[Shannon]

I think Genesis is already in, so he be in twice.

[Matt Jones]

I'm good with Phil Collins.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Oh, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I can't dance.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

What were the others he did as a solo?

[Shannon]

In the air tonight.

[Matt Jones]

In the air tonight, yeah. Now, apparently Phil Collins and Oasis hate each other.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Oh, really?

[Matt Jones]

Like have sniped like Oasis for 30 years. They have talked trash about each other. Apparently they're going in at the same time, but they're part of the same class. And people in Britain are saying, like, they're going to have to keep them apart. I like that shit. I like that these two entities who don't like each other are part of the same.

[Shannon]

I would put them on, like, back to back. That way they have to cross each other when they. One leaves the stage and the next one enters.

[Matt Jones]

I think that's. I think that's good. So there's your Rock Roll hall of Fame update.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah. The big debate, I guess, was the fact that they did not put in Mariah Carey and Lauren Hill.

[Matt Jones]

Rye Carey should be in.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Certainly over Saudi.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

I think there was another female Pink,

[Shannon]

I think, was the one.

[Matt Jones]

Get in eventually.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

I don't feel like some of these people have been around long enough, but I guess they have. 25 years, I guess, is what.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Long time.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

All right. Did you see what happened at the White House with the door dash yesterday?

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

No. At the White House.

[Matt Jones]

So they were doing something I. And they tried to act like this. So a woman delivered McDonald's via DoorDash to the White House and they tried to act like it was random. Now, no one believes that's random, right? No, you can't just show up doordash. Can't just show up at the White House. And all of a sudden they're standing next to the President and going, here's your McDonald's.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

We know there's a lot of security you got to get through.

[Matt Jones]

Right. So they had to have set that up. She was a grandmother. And then he. It was about. She. It was about how he wants to do no tax on tips. But there's a great moment that I want to make sure everybody sees because this is like a sweet little granny. Right? Okay. And she's giving him the doordash in the White House. And she has a T shirt on that says, grandmother does doordash. And Shannon, while she's up there, you know, Trump starts talking about other stuff. And then Trump is like, and we. And we keep the men out of the girls sports. And then he looks at this woman and goes, you don't want men in girls sports. Right. And she's like, I just brought the doordash. Good for her. She was like, I don't know anything about that. I just want the doordash. And I love that because, you know, she was like, I get to go to the White House. Here's doordash. The next thing you know, she's on a press conference, Shannon being asked questions, and she's like, I just. Just, here's your big dog.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

My name's Bennett, and I ain't in.

[Shannon]

It took a lot for her. Probably not. I mean, for me, though. I mean, if you're in that situation, don't you want to say what you feel, or would you like. No, I'm just here for the doordash. Takes a lot of restraint on her part.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

I would hear my grievances. I got the world watching.

[Matt Jones]

But she might be worried the doordash will fire her.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

If she says the wrong thing.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I would just. I would probably say what I felt. But I can understand why Granny didn't want to do that at the time.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Granny's like, just give my tips so I can go back out and deliver my next delivery.

[Matt Jones]

Brian, Go ahead. Brian.

[Caller]

Oh, yeah. Can you hear me?

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Caller]

Yeah, I got a couple things.

Wow.

What do you think, in your all's opinion, what is the appeal of him really wanting to go to Kansas? I mean, I get it. It's Bill Self, but Bill Self is not the Bill Self of, you know, years ago. I mean, he's had good teams. He hasn't really done a whole lot. And like you said, they don't have a team. I guess him and Tay Kenny just going to pass the ball to each other.

[Matt Jones]

I think that people. I mean, from what I understand, I think players tend to really like Bill Self. They have their own culture there that guys enjoy. I mean, I do think a game environment at Kansas is probably better than any other place in the country. You know, I mean, it's a question of why do you like Anything. Right. Like, I mean some, some people have different things that attract them. And you know, in recent years they've had a run of guys who've been very successful from there. So I mean, that's my guess.

[Caller]

Right. And the other thing is, is if he's, he's already signed a Nike contract, wouldn't Nike have like red flags saying, hey, you want to go play for Adidas school? But you know, we signed you as to be a Nike representative. What, what would that.

[Matt Jones]

I think that's a huge part of this. Yeah, I think that's a huge part of this. I appreciate the call. I mean my assumption is Nike is saying to him, go to Kentucky. Like I'm, that's my assumption.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

I'm sure they're, I'm sure they're putting a lot of pressure on him. Yeah, I mean we signed you to this Nike deal. You got to wear Nike to go to a Nike school.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Now Kansas, I think I heard has put in the contract. He can wear Nikes there. He can do it. He can wear Nike gear even if he wants, wants to, but his uniform will have Adidas on it.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

But the caller is like, question, why would you go to Kansas if you're a top recruit? Probably the only schools you're looking at are like Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, you know,

[Matt Jones]

also like, you know how Shannon, when we say Kansas, we're like, that place sucks.

[Shannon]

Yeah, it does.

[Matt Jones]

But if you live in California and you've never been here, you might think the same thing about Kentucky. You know, I mean we love it. But to a lot of America, everything in between New York and LA is just land.

[Shannon]

Yeah, but we're Hollywood compared to Kansas.

[Matt Jones]

I agree with you, but if you've never been here, you wouldn't know that. No, you know what I mean?

[Shannon]

Until you went to Kansas and you go, oh, okay, like go, go to

[Matt Jones]

New York or LA or, or Miami and just say you're from Kentucky and they'll go, oh, almost laugh at you. You got Kansas is the same way. So I mean a kid that's 18, that's not been. Now he, Tyron has a connection to Kentucky, obviously. Yes, but, but like we know Kentucky's better than Kansas, but a lot of people wouldn't know that.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

And if you're a high profile basketball player like this, you're just worried about the, the arena, the atmosphere, your living conditions and your money.

[Matt Jones]

I agree.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

They heck with the rest of the city.

[Matt Jones]

Pete, Go ahead, Pete.

[Caller]

Hey guys, I didn't know if you all mentioned it late last week. I couldn't hear the show Friday. But coach French. Coach Larry French passed away last week.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, we did. We talked about him. We talked about it for a while. Yes.

[Caller]

Okay. I apologize.

[Matt Jones]

That's okay.

[Caller]

Okay. I'm. I'm. Yeah, I'm sorry about it. He's. He was just. He touched so many kids and he won everywhere he went and just, just, just retired at Middlesborough in January. So I just. I just hate to hear that. I really appreciate that.

1.

[Matt Jones]

Of course.

[Caller]

1 other football thing. I know there's been a lot of talk about whether Cole Brit was retained by UK Football. And he was. He was a student assistant last year. Kind of turned around the tight end room, and now he's a grad assistant and works directly for Coach Stein. So I think the football program is well on its way.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Oh, yeah, this was big.

[Matt Jones]

But there's nothing else.

[Caller]

No.

[Shannon]

And if we're putting in one hit wonders, then when does Chumbawamba get in?

[Matt Jones]

Hopefully soon.

[Shannon]

I'd vote for them over this.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, this is a good song, but I don't know how you could say this should get in before Mariah Carey.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

I don't know how you can either. Mariah Carey has massive hits.

[Matt Jones]

Yes. So, couple updates. One, the door dash lady.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Apparently is a regular person Trump uses at events to be various jobs.

[Caller]

Oh.

[Matt Jones]

So see, why do they do that? Because, like, somebody's going to find that out. Right. So just get someone else. Someone where? I'm sure someone works at doordash that likes Trump. Right. Just use them.

[Shannon]

But I wonder how they do that. Like with security, though. Like if you're going to give food to the president, that has to run through security to make sure you didn't.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, without question.

[Shannon]

So I don't know how they could even doordash that to the president. I don't think they could. So we should have known that.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, no, that's true. I mean, but, but like there are videos of her doing other things at Trump events.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

So she's just a character.

[Matt Jones]

See, I thought she was just a sweet grandma doing door. So they thought they got me though. That's why they do it. But my point is, in 2026, they're gonna. People are gonna, like, people have nothing to do. Shannon. They're gonna figure it out.

[Shannon]

Right, of course. Yeah.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

She had the grandma T shirt on.

[Matt Jones]

She did her T shirt. Said she was. Well, she might be a grandma. She just may not do door Doordash. Yeah. Okay.

[Shannon]

Well, I don't think she's a grandma.

[Matt Jones]

I think she's a liar. She just. She was at an event the other day saying, dads for Trump. What are you doing? One person Writes Matt. Did you see what the tactic the Rays pulled during Bark in the park night? During Before a couple of big plays and pitches, they would use a doorbell sound that is especially sensitive to dogs. So they would bark throughout the pitch. Oh, that's awesome. Is that fair?

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

It's your home field advantage. Yes, it's fair.

[Matt Jones]

Fair game, Shannon. To use a high pitched dog sound.

[Shannon]

If you're a major league baseball player and you can't throw a strike because a dog is barking, that's on you. You can't blame the stadium or the fans or anybody else for that. Or the dogs.

[Matt Jones]

Interesting. Wow, that is.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

I love it. Great trick.

[Caller]

All right.

[Matt Jones]

Thank you, text machine for telling me that. Who you got, Ryan? Alex Cooper, Alex Earl.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Who are these? Who are these two people?

[Matt Jones]

I knew that was going to be his answer.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Who's Alex Earl and Alex Cooper?

[Matt Jones]

You don't know who either one of them is?

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Do not.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. Do you know who they are? Oh, neither does Mario. See, this is a good intersection. Ryan doesn't know him because they're young. Mario doesn't know him because they're white. I think. Am I wrong? Probably not.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

I don't know who they are exactly.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know. They're just in there like TikTok people. Have you ever heard of Call her Daddy?

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

No.

[Matt Jones]

You have.

[Shannon]

I've heard that podcast.

[Matt Jones]

It's like the biggest podcast for women. No. So you'd not heard of anything?

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

I mean, I don't listen, to be fair.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, she does that. Then Alex Earl, I will say to you, I don't know why this woman is famous.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

So both the.

[Matt Jones]

Alex, she just puts on makeups. Both of them are girls makeup. Alex with an e and one has an eye. Point is, they're fighting.

[Shannon]

Oh, over what?

[Matt Jones]

Don't know.

[Shannon]

We don't know.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Now we got to find out.

[Matt Jones]

So this, this is the. For some reason, I think this is interesting, they're fighting, and apparently they've fought for a long time and nobody knows why they're fighting. So one Alex went on TikTok and said, I'm tired of other Alex acting like I did something wrong. If you're going to say I did something wrong, just say it. Stop hitting at it. And then the other Alex responds, okay, it's coming. So there you go.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

And that's where we stand right now.

[Matt Jones]

I think that's where we stand.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

America awaits. What Alex did to the other Alex. I'm so I'm gonna be able to go sleep tonight. I find out what the one Alex did on Tick Tock to the other Alex.

[Matt Jones]

You know what would be funny, Shannon?

[Shannon]

What's that?

[Matt Jones]

Is to get Ryan to research this and give us a report tomorrow.

[Shannon]

Well, that's what we should do then.

[Matt Jones]

How about we do that? Okay, you do a little research, all right. On Alex.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Alex with an I and Alex with

[Matt Jones]

a E versus Alex.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

And tomorrow, for people who are like you, I think we have a lot of listeners who have no idea who these people.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

No idea, and do not care.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, but you're gonna make them care.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

I'm gonna make them care.

[Matt Jones]

Well, that's your homework.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Okay, I got it.

[Matt Jones]

Alex versus Alex.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

I'll research as much as I can find.

[Matt Jones]

Well, while the rest of us are looking to see what Rob Wright does, you figure out what the Cooper Earl Battle.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

But if the one Alex won't divulge why she's mad at the other Alex

[Matt Jones]

is the kind of thing you. He's a reporter, Shannon. This is the kind of thing he needs rumors and maybe you need to dig into it. Getting the Reddit threads.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

All the Reddit threads.

[Matt Jones]

There you go.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Be my first time.

[Matt Jones]

Good luck, Joe. Go ahead, Joe.

[Caller]

Yeah, Matt, I'd love to get your take on what's it look like with

Tyrann Stokes making more money than Pope next year.

[Matt Jones]

That's interesting. What does Pope make next year?

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

It's like 5 million a year, isn't it?

[Matt Jones]

What's. What's the Pope amount? Do you know, sir? Appreciate the call. I thought. Yes, sir.

[Caller]

I, I.

[Matt Jones]

Go ahead. Do you know?

[Caller]

Yeah, I think it's right at 5 million.

[Matt Jones]

So, like, I was so right at 5 million. Okay. I appreciate the call. I would say, if that's true, Tyron Stokes could be the first player to in college to ever make more than his coach.

[Caller]

Wow.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Wow.

[Matt Jones]

Bill Self makes a lot more than that.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

So that wouldn't be. But yeah, that's a really, really interesting thought. Although, I don't know, AJ Devonsa might make more than the guy at BYU.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

That's true.

[Matt Jones]

Because he made six. So DeBont, I'd be interested to see what the BYU. But they paid that BYU coach a lot of money.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

I don't know if he made that much.

[Matt Jones]

That would be interesting. Let's see. What's the BYU coach make? 9 million. So no.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

9 million a year.

[Matt Jones]

The BYU coach makes not million a year. That can't be right. Football. Okay.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Still a lot for their football coaches

[Shannon]

where he was, my goodness,

[Matt Jones]

four meals. So then debons has already been the first one. Because the Bonsa made more than four.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. Interesting, though. I had never thought about it like that. Jacob. Go ahead, Jacob.

[Caller]

Hey, guys.

One, do we know if Rob Wright is still on campus as of right?

[Matt Jones]

Yes, he is. He is on campus as of now. Yeah.

[Caller]

And two, did. Is Jeff Goodman, like, a fan of the Wildcats or does he like Mark Pope or does he not? Because, I mean, I get mixed signals from that guy and I don't think

[Matt Jones]

he's a fan of the. Go ahead. What'd you say?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

No cats. All right. I don't think he's a fan of the Wildcats, but I do think he likes Mark Pope a lot. I appreciate the call.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

And he's come around to our. Even our fans, I think, are more open to liking Jeff Goodman.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, Jeff didn't like Cal. That was the key.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

And that turned our fans on him, like Jeff. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

And that was a very strong dislike both ways.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

So our fans took Cal side as they.

[Matt Jones]

As did I.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

But now that Cal's gone, the thing about all these national guys, we drive the revenue. So they're going to engage with us if they can. And he does. We'll take a break. Right back, ksr.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

TJ Smith, personal injury attorney. Call tj. He'll make him pay.

[Shannon]

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

[Matt Jones]

I do like Oasis. I mean, I only know this song and Champagne Supernova.

[Shannon]

You don't know any others? You probably know a bunch of other ones.

[Matt Jones]

I played one. Tell me one.

[Shannon]

Don't Look Back in Anger was also okay.

[Matt Jones]

Do you know that one? Yeah. All right. There's three anymore.

[Shannon]

I mean, there's other ones, but I don't think you would know them, so.

[Matt Jones]

I know three.

[Shannon]

You probably. You probably know the ones.

[Matt Jones]

I do like this song, though. I. I've been like. Like, when? Hey. Yeah, I like that.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

This was huge, man.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, ISIS was huge.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

When I was in college.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Don't think they're ever close to the Beatles, but they're big.

[Matt Jones]

No, huge. Like everybody in college, you walk down the halls.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah, they.

[Matt Jones]

They were listening to Oasis even, you

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

think in the 90s, it's kind of what you think of that. To me, Oasis is always one of them.

[Matt Jones]

All right, real quick, for a lot of people on the phone, I do want to talk to these people.

[Caller]

I.

[Matt Jones]

We got to talk about what happened at Chevy Chase.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Oh, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

All right. So how would you describe Ryan as a realtor in Lexington? How would you describe the people, many of whom are listening? So be Careful. The people who live in Chevy Chase

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

kind of a upper scale. Upper scale, high end, upper income area.

[Matt Jones]

Old Louisville, though.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Because, like, I consider it people who have some money but also, like, want to be kind of in the city.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

You know, because a lot of people move out to the sub, like, farther areas, but these people are still in the city. Older houses.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Older houses. You're still close enough to downtown. You feel like you're still part of the.

[Matt Jones]

Still could kind of walk around places.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

But these houses are just these massive, beautiful.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, some of them are. Yeah, some of them are old. Like everything's worth a lot of money because of the location.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Correct.

[Matt Jones]

But some of the houses are older. Some of them are beautiful and large. Depending on where you are, a lot

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

of people like to buy the older houses and then pimp them out, gut

[Matt Jones]

it and redo it again.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

So they wanted to build a rehab facility in Chevy Chase, and I guess those people lost their minds. Some of them. Right, Yes.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

A lot of the neighborhood had gathered around trying to prevent this from happening because they don't want that in their neighborhood.

[Matt Jones]

Now there's this thing called nimby's. Shannon, not in my backyard.

[Shannon]

Oh, okay.

[Matt Jones]

Did you know that was a phrase? It tends to be applied to people who on paper are pretty liberal but are like, I want this to happen, just not here, not in my backyard. Okay. So I'm for people having rehab. Just keep them away from me.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Not in my neighborhood.

[Matt Jones]

So NIMBY is kind of considered somewhat of a hypocritical thing.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yes. Yeah, I can see why that you'd think that.

[Matt Jones]

No, I mean, this is. California is the king of NIMBYs.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

California wants everybody to have everything, but just get it away from me. Right. What do you make of the Chevy Chase thing? You would agree we need rehab facilities?

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

And this is, I think, for eating disorders, primarily, but apparently it could do other stuff. So that's what they're worried about.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

I think that's what they're worried about. It could be for drug, alcohol rehabilitation.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, but wouldn't you argue there's going to be people who live in Chevy Chase who are going to need drug and alcohol rehab? Yeah, probably.

[Caller]

Probably.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Right. Everybody does.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Sure.

[Matt Jones]

Wouldn't you agree that, like, people who need drug and alcohol rehab are part of the community?

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Very much part of the community.

[Matt Jones]

Wouldn't you agree that the best chance to get those people back on their feet is to have them be part of a place that is not considered outsiders and away and like, get Away from us. You're embarrassing.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Very much

[Matt Jones]

so. Where do you come out on.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

My name's Bennett and I ain't in it.

[Matt Jones]

No, no. I asked you a question, Shannon. I asked him a question.

[Shannon]

I know, like a true opinion show.

[Matt Jones]

Like a true. He wants to be mayor one day. I mean, these are going to be the kind of issues that would probably come up as mayor. Do you think all of the city should be a place where we can have rehab facilities or do you have to put it somewhere to hide it from people?

[Shannon]

This is radio.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

My opinion. I think they're also worried about the traffic and the parking.

[Matt Jones]

And it's 50 people. Yeah, it's a 50 bed facility. Ain't gonna have that much traffic.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Well, that's what their argument. They're trying to use that we don't want. We don't want this.

[Matt Jones]

That sounds like a. To me. Of all the arguments, that's the fakest one. It's 50 people.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah. They're trying to tie it all together.

[Matt Jones]

How many cars can 50 people have? 50.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

50. And the workers. The workers cars.

[Matt Jones]

What do you mean the worker? Okay, 70.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah. So that's one.

[Matt Jones]

So you've required them to build a parking lot that has 70 spots.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah. And which is not conducive to the Chevy Chase neighborhood.

[Matt Jones]

What does that mean?

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

You know, have a parking lot and it's this beautiful area of big trees.

[Shannon]

Approved.

[Matt Jones]

You tell me. There's nowhere in Chevy Chase as a parking lot. I don't believe that.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Maybe not a 70 car parking lot.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so that's one. So are you. This is all ultimately a question. Are you on the neighbor's side or do you think the rehab facility. I wish there was a camera. Here he is. I've never seen him this nervous.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Because there may be people who want

[Matt Jones]

to buy a house with you. Yes.

[Shannon]

You are putting situation with that.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

You know my side. Hustle.

[Matt Jones]

You do not want to. You know. You know. You don't want to comment.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

I don't want to comment.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. A lot of people hope then their future mayor to have someone who takes position. Yes, but you're taking no position.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

If I had to vote today, I mean, it was.

[Matt Jones]

There were six people on the board. They voted last night. I will tell you the vote in a minute, but go ahead.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

I would vote to allow the center.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so you took a position.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

I didn't want to.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. They voted for two to move on with the thing. And got booed. Yeah, by the crowd. The crowd booed them vociferously.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

And I can. I gotta be careful what I say. A lot of the people that live in that area are older.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Wealthy.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

And I don't think they want that looking out their back window and see us in a center like that.

[Matt Jones]

I understand. Well, my perspective comes from going down to Eastern Kentucky when I was writing my book.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

And going to these towns that put the rehab facility in the middle of the city. And when I asked why, they said in order for people to accept the amount of drug addiction we have here, we can't hide these people in the corner. We need them integrated into society. Being part of society helps them get better so they don't feel like they're outcasts and worthless. And we think it's very important to have. Because these same fights happened in small towns all over eastern Kentucky. And the one. And over time, the ones that were successful were the ones that were in the community. So I like that. The other thing I would say is if you go stick them somewhere else, people live there too.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

True.

[Caller]

Right?

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

People live there too. Why. Why can't it be in your backyard? Why are you asking? Why are you wanting to go to the poor part of town and people put everybody there.

[Caller]

Right.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

I think it's just that perception that the Chevy Chase neighborhood is one of the elite of the elite.

[Matt Jones]

Well, then drug addiction hits the elite of the elite shot. Like, deal with it. If it. Go look at eastern Kentucky. Go look at inner cities. Go look at how they have to deal with drug addiction. Don't block it out of your mind by not putting it where you live. Oh, that's not us yet. Is your people get addicted to one

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

of my favorite parts.

[Matt Jones]

You agree with that?

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Why do we always think everything bad in town? We got to go put it where the poor people are.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

It can be everywhere.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Absolutely. And it may even be more successful if you have it in a better area where you're.

[Matt Jones]

No, it not may. It will be more successful. Right.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

My favorite part. One of my favorite parts of your book is you talked about. I can't remember in the town that there's Louisa. Louisa. They had that facility in downtown. And like, they work. They had an area where they, like. Was it a restaurant or something on the lower level? They work.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. The city embraced it. Now, there have been problems with that facility since I wrote that book. So I'm not taking up for everything there, but the principle of it, I think makes sense.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

So what about the argument like that? Just the eyesore of it doesn't fit the neighborhood What Chevy Chase is meant to stand for?

[Matt Jones]

What's it meant to stand for?

[Shannon]

Nice houses.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Nice older houses that look awesome.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know about the ice. I don't know what it looks like. I mean, I can understand saying, okay, can you fit the design patterns or the whatever. I. Okay. I have some sympathy to that. And if I'm the builder, I go, okay. I try to fit into that as

[Shannon]

much as possible, make it look like an old house.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I actually don't think that's an unreasonable request, but the idea of get these people out of here is offensive to me. And liberals are the most hypocritical about it. People on my side, we want to give people, but we were like, as long as it's not me that has to suffer.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah. Right.

[Matt Jones]

And I don't think that's.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Don't make my life uncomfortable.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, exactly. I want everything. Just don't make me have to deal with it. And I think that's. I think that's hypocritical.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Good discussion.

[Matt Jones]

You certainly got nervous about it. Gary in Orlando. Go ahead, Gary.

[Caller]

Oh, good morning, gentlemen. The thing with the sheets hanging on the front porch.

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Caller]

We're on campus.

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Caller]

Kind of takes me back to. It takes me back to when George was big and everybody was cutting their jeans off and making shorts out of them. And at our group in Orlando, we ordered a bunch of koozies that were. Looked like blue jean pockets that were made out of blue jean material, and we'd all take those to the game watches and yell every time he did something great. But that's what that kind of remembers. Reminds me of. My question for you, Matt, is how comfortable are you with Myron's take on some of his podcasts? Some of them seem pretty controversial.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I haven't. Are you talking about on the show he does with me or somewhere else?

[Caller]

No, no. See, a lot of things that he does separate of your show independently, and. And a lot of them seem to be pretty controversial. I didn't know.

[Matt Jones]

That's Myron. He's a pretty uncontroversial person. Are you. Are you confusing him with, like, Stephen A. Or Bomani?

[Caller]

No, no. Myron is about 5 foot 8 or 9, and. And it's probably waves a lot. I weigh. And I mean, I know he does not.

[Matt Jones]

Then you're. You're confusing him. Myron does not weigh what you weigh. Myron's a lot bigger than you are.

[Caller]

Well, that's. I was trying to be kind and anyway, I just. No.

[Matt Jones]

All Right. Well, I mean, I'll look, I don't, I don't, I've worked with. I don't, I can't think of a time Myron has said much controversial. Certainly not about. I mean, all right, if you show me something, Gary, send it to me. I mean, I will say this. My position is going to be Myron can do what he wants. Like he, I'm much more controversial than Myron and he accepts me, so I'm gonna accept him, you know?

[Caller]

Yeah, well, he, he one of them. I saw he took on Stephen A. I mean like head on and, and

[Matt Jones]

I think you're talking about somebody. Honestly, I appreciate the call. Myron. I don't know that he's ever even been on a show with Stephen A. I really don't. I, I think you're talking about somebody else.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Myron makes a cameo in the March into Madness documentary that just came out with Bill Self. Yeah, yeah. Ask Bill Self about Darren Peterson. Myron in a post game news I

[Matt Jones]

can't think of when he. I don't even know if he even knows Stephen. So maybe I coworkers Well, I know where co worker. I don't know who's Stephen A. Smith.

[Anna Sinfield]

There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl.

[Matt Jones]

You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes.

[Anna Sinfield]

And rule two, never mess with her friends either.

[Matt Jones]

We always say that. Trust your girlfriends.

[Anna Sinfield]

I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the Girlfriends.

[Shannon]

Oh, my God.

[Matt Jones]

This is the same man.

[Anna Sinfield]

A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck.

[Matt Jones]

I thought, how could this happen to me?

[Anna Sinfield]

The cops didn't seem to care, so they take matters into their own hands.

[Matt Jones]

I said, oh, hell no. I vowed I will be his last target. He's gonna get what he deserves.

[Anna Sinfield]

Listen to the Girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back, techie Sports radio. And we'll see. Shannon. Two biggest recruits on campus last two days. Talk about Chevy Chase packed Text machines we've gotten or most text messages.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

That's why I love this show.

[Matt Jones]

That's the thing. Everybody can say what they're interested in, but you speak with your words.

[Caller]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

One person goes, matt, you just bought a home in an upscale neighborhood. Aren't you being hypocritical? Let me just say, first of all, Shannon, you know where I live?

[Shannon]

Oh, yeah. In Louisville.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I've been amongst them.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

All right. I've been amongst them for 20 years. I grew up in Middlesborough, Kentucky. I was around people in a community that I have watched be devastated by drug and alcohol addiction. I've been around alcohol addiction in my extended family my entire life. I lived in the Highlands, which I was walking in Saturday, and has it everywhere. My place in Kentucky in Lexington is in downtown Lexington.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

So I've been around it and lived and loved it. Not love the addiction, but loved living in a.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

That's part.

[Matt Jones]

When you choose to live in a city, that's part of what you're choosing.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

You get positives, and then you get negatives. I bought a house somewhere else because I wanted to be away from people. But when you choose to live in Chevy Chase, you are now amongst people. Right. That's what you're choosing. When you live among. If you want to live away from people, there are places. But I'll go ahead and say where I live, if. If it changed, it changes. I think it's reasonable for the people in that community to want them to keep the place safe. I think that's completely reasonable.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

To want them to keep it clean. Completely reasonable. If they want it to have a certain look, I'm all right with that, but, like, I've spent a lot of time around and there's. They are. They are your neighbors, and I'm. I'm okay with it. And when I considered, you know, you know, I looked at houses in Chevy Chase.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

You did.

[Matt Jones]

Part of what I was understanding is these are houses where, like, you're in the city.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yes. You know, like we said during the break, it's what you sign up for.

[Matt Jones]

That's what you sign up for. And honestly, I wanted, you know, I wanted a house in Jeffy J. Yeah. This could have been me at the meeting, and I would have been Shannon standing up and saying, yes, you would

[Shannon]

have been trying to. You would have been running the meeting.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I would establish points of order. So. So, yeah, I mean, I'm. That I would. I would certainly. And have certainly lived what I'm preaching here as have you, to be honest, Brian. So I, I, I, I think you're not. You, you do more than people realize.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

So it's this neighborhood we're talking about people that don't know, that don't live in Lexington. It is the elite where the people want to go. You want to, you want to go live in Chevy Chase.

[Matt Jones]

And I did too. But when you, when you want to live in Chevy Chase, you're making a couple trade offs. You're going to get less house than you can get somewhere else for your money because of where you are. True. Right. You're going to be close to the city. But because you're close to the city, you're going to be part of the city.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

And I'm just saying. And I have many, many friends in Chevy Chase, but you don't, you don't get the advantages of being a close to the city without having to deal with the rest of it too.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Very true.

[Matt Jones]

You know, that's, that's life.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

That's it.

[Matt Jones]

Scott. Go ahead, Scott.

[Caller]

Hey, guys. Great day to be a Wildcat fan.

[Matt Jones]

I agree.

[Caller]

As far as that goes.

[Matt Jones]

I completely agree with that.

[Caller]

Yeah. I feel like big things are coming. Maybe not from Stokes, but there's a lot of fish out there. So I think we'll be all right. I do have one question I fear I've missed some information on Big man jq. All I heard is stocks fallen. Have y' all heard anything else?

[Matt Jones]

I have not. I, I have not. We stock is falling in the draft. I don't know where people have thought about him. I'd heard people say, well, will he come back? I, My assumption is he's not here. I've never considered that he wouldn't be. Have you?

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Somebody asked me that yesterday. They said they he's not entered the draft and he's not entered the transfer portal.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Yeah. So to answer your question, I appreciate the call. I have not heard one thing that would suggest that he's anything I think Jack Pilgrim wrote that he would not be. Yeah, but there's a lot of dudes, I think, that haven't officially entered the draft. Yeah, so I saw just Caleb Wilson, I think just did this morning.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Oh, he did?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Well, that's we, that's who we are. We, we conspiracy theorists.

[Matt Jones]

Larry, you got about a minute real quick?

[Caller]

Yes. You talking to me?

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Caller]

Okay. I'm going to talk about Stokes. I love to get to get the kid, but at the same time, I don't see us waiting two weeks and missing out on all the other players to get him. You look at the final four, how many of them is a top five draft pick?

[Matt Jones]

Look at the final four. Well, none this year but that. But last year, last year, Cooper Flag, Concert Nipple, they were in it. So it depends. This year not. But some years they have been.

[Caller]

Well, I just. I mean, I'd love to get. It'd be great to get.

Get it.

But at the same time, you don't want to miss out on the other players.

[Matt Jones]

I agree. I agree. It's a tough. It's a tough call. It's a completely tough. I appreciate the call. It's a tough call. And as is the tough call that I don't think I'm gonna have time to do. DraftKings. We'll do it tomorrow. Soon. Tomorrow we will be at KS Bar Trivia is Thursday night.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Get your team ready.

[SpinQuest Legal Disclaimer]
