[Caller or Guest Host]

Oh, okay, we're ready to go.

[Matt Jones]

[Caller or Guest Host]

You got to tell me.

[Matt Jones]

Viral passion. Love is infectious.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Perfect.

[Matt Jones]

So that. So the name is perfect. Viral passion.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Okay, I like that.

[Matt Jones]

And the tagline is Shannon, Love is infectious.

[Shannon]

Okay, I like it as a working title. Let me just make sure there's no other viral passion out there that already exists. Yes, I think we're good.

[Matt Jones]

All right. Viral passion. Love is infectious. Filming in Lagrange in spring of 2027

[Caller or Guest Host]

with Shannon getting a speaking line.

[Matt Jones]

Yes, I want to be the Shannon's on the plane. No, you'll be one of the people on the plane.

[Shannon]

Yeah, I want to be a good pilot. I'll be the guy that like gets the virus.

[Matt Jones]

No, no, I hear you should be the guy who says you have to kick her lover off cuz he's going to make you all sick.

[Ryan Lemond]

He's got to be the heel.

[Matt Jones]

You need to be the heel. That's like, I'm not going to die because of you. And you want to throw him out the emergency X. Yes.

[Shannon]

I'm the anti hero. Yeah. I'm trying to save everybody.

[Matt Jones]

You're the anti hero. You're trying to end love. Exactly.

[Caller or Guest Host]

All right, but save the world.

[Shannon]

Yes, exactly.

[Matt Jones]

This is in production. We have to give Al Snow apart these.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Go play the security guards. Cash flow. He's gonna be the lead.

[Shannon]

He can get a Sylvester Stallone.

[Matt Jones]

Yes. Oh, now we've got Sylvester Stallone.

[Shannon]

That's why people will watch it.

[Matt Jones]

We can get Marsden. Now we have our box office star. But Marsden's gonna be the one with the virus.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Yeah, he's he's the handsome one.

[Ryan Lemond]

He's the handsome.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Respectfully, Shannon, you're also handsome, but might be Marsden better for that role.

[Shannon]

We'll see. Both audition for it to.

[Matt Jones]

I'll let you both read. Okay. All right, so we got to talk about this. This guy in Cherokee Park. All right, so if you haven't seen the thing. The. The. The. The Louisville police department posts a picture of a man that is in nothing but white, tighty, whitey boxer briefs walking through Cherokee park with his head down. And it says, this man has been apparently hanging in the woods in Cherokee park, coming out when he sees women running and probably doing gross things. Right.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

The picture to me, is what makes the story like a perv in the woods. That probably. There's probably those in every county in. In Kentucky. But the picture. Here's who I thought he looked like. I thought he looked like Elon Musk.

[Shannon]

How can you tell? You can't even see.

[Ryan Lemond]

Why do you say that?

[Matt Jones]

Just his body type.

[Shannon]

A little dad bod.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. But, like, he probably was in good shape at some point.

[Shannon]

He's right. He's loose a little bit.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

And more ways.

[Matt Jones]

I don't want to talk about what sticks out in the photo, but it's a. It's a. There's a lot happening there now. The police department's tweet is kind of unbelievable. Right? Like, I mean, I'm for it. I, like. The Louisville police department has just decided we're going to have a personality.

[Ryan Lemond]

We're going to make fun of this and have fun with it.

[Matt Jones]

So it says. We're alleging that he. He hangs out at Cherokee Park. Need. Near the scenic loop. This is very close to my house.

[Shannon]

Oh, yeah. You could go help.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, I'm. I can go search for this person. He'll pop out on joggers, sometimes fully nude, commit lewd acts, and then they put in parentheses, use your imagination.

[Caller or Guest Host]

I don't want to use my imagination.

[Matt Jones]

I didn't want to use my imagination. Then run away. We're told that he hides his face when he knows his picture has been taken. Then he. Then the police department writes, bro. No, he bro knows he's cooked. Let's find him.

[Ryan Lemond]

Love it.

[Matt Jones]

The police department wrote, bro knows he's cooked. Let's find.

[Shannon]

And then what about the comment there?

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so then somebody posts, and the first comment they write is, bro is nasty. Who is he?

[Shannon]

That's from Louisville Metro Police department.

[Matt Jones]

From the police department. Bro is nasty. Who is he?

[Caller or Guest Host]

Good question.

[Matt Jones]

So my question for you Is, first of all, do you like that the police department's out here going, bro's nasty.

[Ryan Lemond]

They've hired their own Mario. We got our Mario. They've hired a Mario for their social media account.

[Matt Jones]

A Mario with some sauce.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Caller or Guest Host]

They had a big story a year ago where they went super viral.

[Matt Jones]

I came here. It was snow or something. Something like that. Yeah, yeah.

[Caller or Guest Host]

They've. They've given the. The reins to a teenager with their social media account.

[Shannon]

How is this the best picture? This is like Bigfoot. Like, there's a grainy picture. Like, how can we not get a better picture of this guy?

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so I started doing. Yesterday, I went on Reddit and read the comments to this story, and there were hundreds of them on the Louisville Reddit page. And there were people saying, this guy has been around for five years, that he is apparently. Apparently he is, like, known that there's a Cherokee park creeper, and people have tried to get pictures, and they have said he does a great job of hiding his face at all times. So I guess this is the best one they had. Now, do we think they catch this guy?

[Ryan Lemond]

I think they do.

[Matt Jones]

Now, somebody knows this guy.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Right.

[Ryan Lemond]

Somebody's gonna recognize that.

[Matt Jones]

Even that phone, even that photo, that body. Shannon, do you think somebody will know who it is?

[Shannon]

Maybe. I would think that this guy, now that he knows he's in the news, will stop doing this and they won't have to worry about it, and they'll just not come out and do that anymore.

[Matt Jones]

But you would think, though, that there are somebody who recognizes this person in law.

[Shannon]

I don't know. Can you recognize somebody by their midsection? I can't.

[Matt Jones]

Well, some woman who maybe.

[Shannon]

I don't think there is a woman involved. I think that's why he's doing this.

[Matt Jones]

You think that's why he's doing a woman?

[Shannon]

He wouldn't be jumping out of bushes naked.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, there are no. The problem is there's no distinguishing features about him except he wears white boxer briefs. I don't know how many people do that. So I guess if you knew someone who wore white boxer briefs.

[Caller or Guest Host]

We're narrowing it down right here on the show.

[Matt Jones]

Huh?

[Caller or Guest Host]

We're narrowing it down right here on the show.

[Shannon]

This is sort of an optical.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so let me. Can I give you some other things on. He has a farmer's tan.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

So it means he works outside or plays golf.

[Shannon]

Now, is that his leg or what is that there, if you look at it?

[Matt Jones]

What are you asking me? Well, I mean, if you look, there's

[Shannon]

an optical illusion happening. If you look at it the wrong way, you could think that there's.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, I see how there is a little bit of an optical illusion. I hadn't really noticed that.

[Ryan Lemond]

I got to see what you're talking about.

[Matt Jones]

It looks like he was a man that at one point in his life, was in shape, and he's still kind of in shape. I mean, he's not.

[Shannon]

He's jogging.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know how old he is because, like, if he's kind of bent down.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Does he have an earring? Is that an earring?

[Matt Jones]

He's got muscles.

[Ryan Lemond]

He runs away. So he's got to be a little bit athletic.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

And he works outside because look at his farmer's tan on the case.

[Ryan Lemond]

So I see what you're talking about, the optical illusion.

[Matt Jones]

What color is the dress, Shannon? Is it. Is it gold or is it blue? So, anyway, so here's the question. Will he be found within a week?

[Ryan Lemond]

I think this publicity he's gotten. Definitely. He's gone. He's cooked. Bro's cooked.

[Matt Jones]

Bro Nasty.

[Ryan Lemond]

Bro nasty.

[Matt Jones]

He cooked.

[Caller or Guest Host]

I think the police and some bait, maybe some undercover police officers to try to lure him out.

[Matt Jones]

I agree with Shannon. Now he's not going out right now.

[Ryan Lemond]

I don't know.

[Caller or Guest Host]

I would say that guy's not in the best frame of mind. So it's probably not.

[Matt Jones]

The roof is big. I mean, like, that's right next to where my house is. Like, it's big.

[Shannon]

I think it's going to have to calm down for a while. And then he'll wait till nobody's talking about it, Then he'll strike again. So you can't let your guard down. Like, you know, two weeks later, that's probably what I'll do.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Or he could find a new part.

[Matt Jones]

This is the only thing people that park by your house.

[Ryan Lemond]

Louisville sure.

[Matt Jones]

Are talking about. Like, this is the only. Everyone is sending this picture around. If you get on Facebook, it's everywhere. My. So I'm in one of those groups. What do they call them? Like, the. I get app notifications of things in my neighborhood.

[Shannon]

Yeah, the neighborhood app.

[Ryan Lemond]

Neighborhood watch.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. And I've gotten, like, 7 of people who clearly don't know the news, who are like, have you seen this? And everybody's sending the same picture. So I've gotten this guy's picture popping up, like, 10 times because this is my neighborhood right up the road.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Clearly, there's a mental illness involved here, But I just don't know how anyone could get up and be like, yep, I'm going to go do that today. I'm just going to go strip down

[Matt Jones]

to my whitey tidings. Five years of doing.

[Shannon]

Why did it take five years to become a story?

[Matt Jones]

Like, nobody got a good picture.

[Shannon]

He's like Bigfoot after one time. I would think that would be all over the news.

[Matt Jones]

Well, it wasn't. Let's go to Free Bird. Go ahead, Freebird.

[Caller]

Guys. How y' all doing, man? Doing good, Good, good. Hey, I just got it back from a consultation. Starting some cardiac rehab on Monday, but.

[Matt Jones]

Well, good luck.

[Caller]

Are they really? Thank you, sir. I appreciate it. They. How come they wouldn't do ping pong as a high school store a sport

[Matt Jones]

instead of just as valid as pickleball and just as valid. I would prefer ping pong. It's older.

[Caller]

Oh, my gosh. Yes. Yeah. My question is Duke, that Duke kid went to Tennessee, right? The one that played pro ball and now is not playing pro ball.

[Matt Jones]

The what kid?

[Caller]

The. His name is Duke. He played in the G League.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, yeah, he went to. Yes, yes. He went to Wake Forest and now he's going. Yes.

[Caller]

Did we try. Did we even try our hardest to get him? I don't know because these kids are going everywhere, you know, and.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I don't know. I'm not sure. I don't think Kentucky, I don't think Kentucky has been. Was. Was one of the leaders on him. But I appreciate the call. I'd always heard Michigan and then all of a sudden Tennessee got him. Tennessee's clearly spent a lot of money too. I mean, I guess Tennessee's like, we're never going to get good football, so we might as well do this right.

[Ryan Lemond]

Tennessee wasn't in your top four. You're talking about. It's already spent money, right?

[Matt Jones]

Didn't I say Tennessee, Florida, Duke in Texas, Duke and Texas and Louisville. So I guess Tennessee was. Maybe Florida wasn't in there. Maybe it was Tennessee, Duke, Louisville and Tech. Either way, we play them all.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Caller or Guest Host]

So could it be. What have they done? Three straight Elite Eights. They're like, we're so close after never

[Matt Jones]

getting to the final four.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Let's just try to get the hump this year. Maybe that's why they've put so much money into it.

[Matt Jones]

James Marks Marsden holds the all time record for actors for dying on screen more than any other.

[Shannon]

Well, we're going to. We got to kill him then.

[Matt Jones]

First of all, who keeps that record? Does he die on screen in like every movie? He must, I guess. Because he's not that old if he holds the record.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Yeah, I mean, he's in, like, Sonic the Hedgehog.

[Shannon]

Did he die in Anchorman 2? I can't remember if he did, he dies in paradise.

[Matt Jones]

Spoiler alert.

[Caller or Guest Host]

What's that? It's episode one, scene one.

[Shannon]

Well, we got to kill him off in our movie.

[Matt Jones]

He's got the virus,

[Shannon]

okay?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why he's perfect. One person says, matt, the first time I saw the picture of the Cherokee park guy, I thought it was Ryan Lemon.

[Shannon]

Whoa, stop it looks not.

[Caller]

Actually.

[Matt Jones]

That's a. That's a compliment to you.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, he's got good.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, that guy's better.

[Shannon]

That's not.

[Matt Jones]

It's not a compliment that you would do it, but he's probably got a better body than you do.

[Ryan Lemond]

I take it as a compliment.

[Shannon]

You don't want to be that guy.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. You don't want to be that guy.

[Ryan Lemond]

No.

[Matt Jones]

I do think if we were to say which one was the most likely of this group

[Shannon]

surprise,

[Matt Jones]

I do think you would come in first.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'd probably vote for myself.

[Matt Jones]

Go ahead.

[Shannon]

Remotes.

[Caller]

Hey, Matt, my question. My first thing is, I would love to get a speaking role in your movie. And second of all, have you played pickleball before?

[Matt Jones]

Have I played what?

[Caller]

Have you played pickleball before?

[Matt Jones]

No, I refuse. If you remember.

[Caller]

Okay. I. I think you should try it, and then you would understand what the whole. The whole. The whole craze about it is.

[Matt Jones]

No, I refuse to play, and I refuse to play, and I would be good at it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, because you like ping pong and you like tennis.

[Matt Jones]

No, I'm. I'm. I was. I'm a very good volley. That's what I was good at in tennis. So I would be good at it, but I still refuse because I think it's a travesty. Now I am too old to play tennis, so I'm just choosing to not do a sport that I really enjoyed in my life. Watch out.

[Shannon]

You should take jogging at Cherokee park is what you should do.

[Matt Jones]

Appreciate the call, but, you know, I know I probably should play, but I'm. It's a moral stance.

[Ryan Lemond]

Maybe they're doing, like I said, doing it in the fall, so the tennis players have something. A sport they can do in the fall. It's not the same something to do.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, it's. It's tennis players who are good. Like, good volleyers, like doubles players, they. They would probably be good at. Yes, but it's a completely. Like, you don't have to have ground strokes. You really don't want them like all the plays at the net in it for the most part.

[Ryan Lemond]

Pretty much. Unless you're playing Shannon Ramy all over the court. Yeah, I mean they got these pickleball facilities going up all over the place though.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I don't know if those are gonna work. I feel like it's gonna be a fad.

[Shannon]

I don't know. It's already on like espn.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's right. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Boogie.

[Ryan Lemond]

Dad.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. All right. So you said you can zoom in on it and he's got a scar on his knee.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Well, way. One of the news places in Louisville has like a high definition photo out and there's a big scar like where

[Matt Jones]

he said surgery, surgery.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Knee surgery. And then he's got a big earring. So.

[Matt Jones]

All right. Have you ever had knee surgery?

[Ryan Lemond]

I have not.

[Matt Jones]

All right, you're eliminated. I'm out from we so that. So now you got somebody with knee surgery. A farmer's tan, big earrings, big earring, kind of a gray goatee and that body.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

I feel like you can get it.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Go get him.

[Ryan Lemond]

Somebody may have him by the end of the day.

[Matt Jones]

Well, we'll see. It has captured the world. James Marsden, by the way, was in the show Westworld. He died in nearly every episode.

[Shannon]

He's like Kenny.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's why.

[Matt Jones]

So that may be why he holds the record. He'd be perfect for you.

[Ryan Lemond]

I was just thinking, you've got. If you get him, Josh Hopkins, Steve Zahn, I mean, Kevin Richardson, the Backstreet Boys. You could put a lot of celebrities

[Matt Jones]

in there from the Backstreet Boys. Throw him in there.

[Ryan Lemond]

Throw him in there. He's on the plane.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, Todd. Len Lanter.

[Ryan Lemond]

Todd Lantern.

[Shannon]

Toddler.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, Toddler. One person writes, could the Cherokee park guy be Cherokee Parks? It's a great question. Anybody thought about that wrinkle?

[Caller or Guest Host]

Look tall enough.

[Shannon]

What a twist.

[Matt Jones]

Cherokee Parks has a lot of tattoos. Yeah, I think. I think he's got. Got a ton. Before we go the phones, what about Dan Issel saying, we always used to cheat?

[Ryan Lemond]

I saw that video clip. Wow.

[Matt Jones]

Didn't see. Dan Issel did an interview where he was interviewed by someone. It was on that show where DeMarcus Cousins told everybody not to listen to me.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Lou Will interview.

[Matt Jones]

Lou Will. That's the Wings guy. Right. Lou Will said, why is it Kentucky doing as well, getting players? And Dan Issel said, because we can't cheat anymore.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. Within I l. We can't cheat anymore like we used to.

[Matt Jones]

So we all agreed.

[Caller or Guest Host]

We didn't say that out loud.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Dan, come on, Dan.

[Ryan Lemond]

What stays in the family, you know, happens in family.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know Dan at all. I don't think I've ever met Dan.

[Ryan Lemond]

He was on the show one day at the Legends. Legends.

[Matt Jones]

That's right. Okay. You're right. You're right. We did have him on then. You're right. I don't feel like we see him. Like. I don't see him a lot. Like he doesn't come. Feels like to a lot of stuff.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

He's arguably the first or second best player to ever play here, but it doesn't feel like we see him much. Were you okay with. I mean, he was. I'm sure he was kidding, but then he kind of didn't laugh.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

At all.

[Shannon]

I don't think he was kidding.

[Caller or Guest Host]

I don't think he's kidding either.

[Matt Jones]

He didn't really laugh. Shut up.

[Ryan Lemond]

Dan didn't even really crack a smile.

[Matt Jones]

No, not really.

[Ryan Lemond]

We don't like our own dirty laundry aired in public, Dan. That's family matters.

[Matt Jones]

What do you think, Shannon? That bad?

[Shannon]

I think we need to. I don't know if you can investigate now. It's been how many years? But yeah, I mean people have been. People have been whispering that for years that these guys are getting cars and jewelry and all this other stuff behind the scenes.

[Matt Jones]

So he was almost suggesting we cheat more than anyone else.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Like that's why we were good.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Caller or Guest Host]

For so long.

[Shannon]

That's why you get all those great.

[Matt Jones]

Like that comment is Cal. No, because, you know, the modern success. I really don't think Cash cheating, by the way. I mean, certainly not any worse than anyone else. Like, I actually don't think. I don't think he had to, to be honest with you. But he won't like ISIL saying that probably. No.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Remember Cal had the Anthony Davis thing come out.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. And it ended up. They didn't like, they didn't find anything.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Yeah. Because Dan, we don't say this stuff out loud. Come on, man.

[Matt Jones]

Dan, when.

[Ryan Lemond]

When all those reporters went after California or the Eric Bledsoe thing, the anti Davis thing, I didn't find anything. Yeah, they would.

[Matt Jones]

They wanted it.

[Ryan Lemond]

They would have.

[Matt Jones]

It would have. That's always been my argument about us cheating in that era. Those national reporters hated Cal so much that if there was something to find, they'd have found it.

[Ryan Lemond]

They went after him hard.

[Matt Jones]

They would have found it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

And they didn't. So that's always made me say, I don't think he was doing nothing going on. And people can say, well, you're naive. I just, I don't think. But Dan didn't help.

[Ryan Lemond]

No. Dan.

[Matt Jones]

And of all people.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Dan.

[Matt Jones]

Dan. Sean from Austin. Go ahead, John.

[Caller]

Hey, a lot of Texas love for you guys here. I was in the army in the 90s and in Bosnia. There was a big hantavirus scare there. It was. It's primarily transmitted through like rodent urine and droppings and stuff. So we were living in the field for six months. That was one of the things we had to kind of watch out for. I always thought that was sucked because, you know, I. All this training, got weapons and everything and it's like, man, I don't want to get taken out by a mouse turd.

[Matt Jones]

That would be a terrible way to go. You're in the army. They're like, all right, how did you. How did you go? Were you shot down in combat rodent urine?

[Caller]

Yeah. Love you guys.

[Matt Jones]

Appreciate it. That would have been. That would have been bad. But now this one's human to human, though. It's what Makes it worse.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes. And it breeds.

[Caller]

Contaminated.

[Matt Jones]

You were saying they think it started because a couple went to a bird sanctuary.

[Ryan Lemond]

They said a couple, before they got on the cruise ship, went to a bird sanctuary, got it there, and then took it onto the cruise ship. And now both of those people have passed. They're two of the three.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, well, but.

[Ryan Lemond]

And now there's a report that said that it could be up to 40 people have got off that ship and dispersed.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, well, remember. I mean, we go back to when we first. When this all first started with COVID You remember, there were people and we had the debate on this show like they weren't gonna let them leave their house, and should that be the rule? And we. It's interesting, though, there. People had weird opinions then. I don't. I. Here's what worries me, and if you disagree, that's fine, but I don't need to read your opinion on this particular topic. What worries me is because so many people became virus skeptics. Whether that's reasonable or not, I don't really care what your opinion is on that. But because of that, if we ever have something where we really need people to take a virus. Shannon, I wonder if people will do it.

[Shannon]

They won't after this, you know, and that's.

[Matt Jones]

That's a shame, I think, because there might be a time we actually need it. Yes, John, go ahead. John,

[Caller]

this is my question for you. Hey, can you hear me? My bad.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Caller]

My big question about the Kentucky basketball team this year is everybody says we need to fire Pope and bring in Billy Donovan. Well, my question is, Billy Donovan hasn't coached in college basketball since the NIL started, so who's to say that he would be able to navigate the recruiting structure that there is in place now? And really, the X's and O's that Pope has. We all think he does fine.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Caller]

But it's.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I. You don't know? I think the difference between Billy Donovan and, say, like, Mike Malone, who they hired at North Carolina, or Bill Belichick, who they are, is that Billy Donovan has had success in college in the past, so you know that he can do it now. You're right. Could he recruit in the NIL era? I don't know. But Rick Barnes is doing it, and he's 73. So I think. And I appreciate the call. I think it's all about money now. With that said, I think it's still kind of silly for us to talk about Billy Donovan because Mark Pope is the coach and we need him to succeed and we want him to succeed. If we have a bad year, then you have that conversation then. But having that conversation all year, I really don't think does any good for anybody.

[Caller or Guest Host]

And he's told us no so many times. Why are we even giving him that?

[Matt Jones]

True. There is a comes a point like how many times can you ask a woman out and she said tells you no. You start to become the Cherokee park guy.

[Caller or Guest Host]

It's gonna be us later this season.

[Matt Jones]

We'll take a break. Very back.

[iHeart Advertising Voice]

T.J. smith, personal injury attorney.

[Matt Jones]

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

[Shannon]

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

[Matt Jones]

All right, I saw one of my favorite polls I've seen a long time. Shannon, I wanted to bring it up to you.

[Shannon]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

They polled us adults and they asked how many of them, what percentage of U.S. adults think they could beat Donald Trump in a fight?

[Ryan Lemond]

What a poll.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

So first of all, before I give you the percentage, how many of you all think you could beat Donald Trump in a fight?

[Ryan Lemond]

He's 80 years old.

[Matt Jones]

I'm asking you a question. Can you beat him in a fight or not?

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

Even though he's a foot taller than me.

[Matt Jones]

I got him. Yep, you got him, Shannon.

[Shannon]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I got him to 80 years old. Could you beaten Joe Biden in a fight?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes.

[Shannon]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

Just trip him.

[Matt Jones]

Obama.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I must say no. I don't know if I can beat Obama. What he don't want. Although I did see him throw a first pitch. It was bad. What do you think?

[Ryan Lemond]

I think I'm fighting him to a draw.

[Caller]

Oh, we're gonna.

[Shannon]

You both just run out of breath.

[Ryan Lemond]

We both get tired.

[Matt Jones]

You can fight him to a draw.

[Ryan Lemond]

Let's just shake hands and walk away, bro.

[Matt Jones]

I think Bush beats us up. W. W is in pretty good shape. Yeah, he was good athlete.

[Shannon]

You talk about now or when they were president?

[Matt Jones]

When they were president. Now I think you get them.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Caller or Guest Host]

The age is getting all these people. How old was W when he was?

[Matt Jones]

So. But all right, let's guess though. What percent of Americans? So first of all, let me say 25% said they didn't know.

[Shannon]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

No opinion. This is men and women, though, right? What percent of Americans think they can beat Trump in a fight? Take a guess.

[Caller or Guest Host]

I think there's a large percentage that just thinks he's like untouchable.

[Matt Jones]

And you got to factor that in.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Caller or Guest Host]

I'm going to say, remember, 25%.

[Matt Jones]

Don't have an opinion.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Yeah, I'm going to say 40%.

[Matt Jones]

40%.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'll just say 45.

[Matt Jones]

What do you think?

[Shannon]

And half the people would bow down and just go, you know what, I forfeit.

[Ryan Lemond]

You win.

[Matt Jones]

Knock me out. 36%, 55% of Americans think they can beat in a fight. For Democrats it's 75, 5, which means there's a lot of old ladies who think they can beat him in a fight. Right. For Republicans, 3933 say Trump can beat them.

[Caller or Guest Host]

What?

[Matt Jones]

So only 1/3 of Republicans think they can beat Trump in a fight. How many macho Republican MAGA truck people are, are walking around saying this 80 year old man can beat him in a fight?

[Ryan Lemond]

Shannon said they just bow down.

[Matt Jones]

All right, now here's another question. What percentage of adults think an 8 year old boy can beat Donald Trump in a fight? No.

[Caller or Guest Host]

How old are you?

[Matt Jones]

First of all, who's with eight year old boy? Trump.

[Shannon]

Trump.

[Matt Jones]

I'm going to say Trump.

[Ryan Lemond]

Trump.

[Shannon]

Six, four.

[Matt Jones]

He's six four. He's big.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. He can put you in a headlock.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so 31% of Americans think an eight year old boy can be.

[Shannon]

They're all Democrats.

[Matt Jones]

They're probably mostly Democrats. The Democrats believe 54, 26 in the 8 year old boy. The Republicans 72, 6 in Trump.

[Shannon]

Now who's the 6% that thinks you're a Republican but you think that an 8 year old could beat up Trump?

[Matt Jones]

All right, so there you go.

[Caller or Guest Host]

So that's like third grade. I say no. If you get me to about sixth

[Matt Jones]

grade though, I was gonna ask you, what is the age, what is the age that you would think it could start happening?

[Caller or Guest Host]

I'd take a middle schooler against him.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh yeah, third grade's a little young. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Sixth, seventh grade.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

12 year old made for sure.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Set it up, America. This is the kind of stuff we put on people.

[Matt Jones]

Listen, aren't they having a UFC event at the White House? Let me, here's a question for you. If you found out Trump versus a 10 year old boy at UFC at the White House, are you watching?

[Shannon]

One of two things is happening.

[Matt Jones]

I have one course you're watching. I mean like you're, you're even. I'm gonna watch that.

[Shannon]

Everyone's gonna watch child abuse or elder abuse. What are the two is going to happen there?

[Matt Jones]

It's, let's just say it's sanctioned.

[Ryan Lemond]

10 year old have all the energy

[Matt Jones]

running around the ring.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Is there a way in?

[Matt Jones]

They would talk trash, put him on

[Ryan Lemond]

A chair so you can look each other in the eye.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, it would be entertainment. I don't think it would be something that should. What are we doing?

[Ryan Lemond]

We're wasting our time on polls like this and this person's job because it was interesting.

[Matt Jones]

I love you had an opinion.

[Ryan Lemond]

I love the fact we did it.

[Matt Jones]

Is there anyone associated with KSR that you think Trump could beat them up?

[Shannon]

Billy, Billy,

[Ryan Lemond]

Poor Billy Big beautiful Bill

[Matt Jones]

would be in trouble. Big beautiful Bill Take you down like big beautiful Bill. Go ahead. I don't even know who this is. Steve. Go ahead. Steve. Steve.

[Caller]

Hey. Hey. First time, long time.

[Matt Jones]

Who are. What's up?

[Caller]

Can you hear?

[Matt Jones]

I got you.

[Caller]

Well, other than. Other than. Other than Matthew Harper Jones, who's the most famous person from Middlesbrough?

[Matt Jones]

Well, Lee Majors, he's. And he was more famous than I am. Lee Majors was six Million Dollar Man.

[Caller]

Right, right. Well, I live in London. Been around Middlesboro all my life. I'd learned something Tuesday night. Have you ever heard of St. Paul and the Broken Bones Band?

[Matt Jones]

No.

[Caller]

Very good band. St. Paul and the Broken Bones. They're from Birmingham, Alabama, with a lead singer. His name is Paul Janeway. And during the concert Tuesday in Cincinnati, he said that he loved being in this area because Middlesboro was like home to him because his grandfather and his father were from Middlesboro.

[Matt Jones]

There you go. Everybody good has a connection to Bell County. You know, I told you. Zach. Brian plays his. Played his first ever concert in Pineville. Tyler Childers has a song about Pineville where he mentions Pineville in it.

[Ryan Lemond]

My doppelganger lives in Pine.

[Matt Jones]

Scott Maiden. He looks just like Ryan and he's there. You got Lee Majors, you got the people. Always. Send me the comedian. Trish, sir. She had a bit go viral on Facebook where she talks about Middlesbrough. I went to school with her brother, so, yeah, I mean, we're everywhere.

[Caller]

Well, if you're not familiar with St. Paul and the Broken Bones, you ought to look them up.

[Matt Jones]

Well, you're a good.

[Caller]

I don't think we've ever had anything popular. Well. Well, it's a great show if you get to go.

[Matt Jones]

Thank you, Steve. Let's go to Sparky. Go ahead, Sparky. I like a name. Sparky.

[Caller]

Hey, Matt, Things have really escalated when we go from talking about presidents and if they can walk 50 miles to who could beat them up. I'm not sure how we got off the rails here.

[Matt Jones]

I'm just telling you. That was a poll that came out yesterday and it. I had to. You know, we had to read It. But go ahead.

[Caller]

Fair enough. The. The Cherokee park creeper hasn't, you know, been clearly identified. Reminds me a lot of a UK library foot stabber mystery was that no one could catch them.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, a lot of people forget that. Mario, do you remember that story? Oh, he was probably like there was a. There was a student at uk. Well, we don't know if it was a student, but they had a rash of foot stabbings in the UK library. Somebody would sneak under the tables and stab people in the feet and run off. And they never figured out who it was.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Never did.

[Shannon]

I wrote that out.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know.

[Shannon]

Mystery.

[Caller or Guest Host]

I wrote a KSR post about it. And for some reason it will still populate on our website when you're doing like the endless scroll, it still wants people to read that story 15 years later.

[Matt Jones]

The footstep. And they never caught him. I remember fake Barney sang a song about it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Never caught him. Never had any video of him. No photos or anything.

[Matt Jones]

Regular stories that came out for weeks that another foot stabbing had taken place. And these were not like pokes. These were stabs. Yeah, they would stab them in the feet and then get away. No, but how did no one ever figured out who that was? It's a great mystery, but. Go ahead, sir.

[Caller]

It's wild mystery. But, you know, since you love walking so much and the scenic loop so close to your Louisville house, you know, you've got a long standing history of when you confront people, you threaten to take a photo of him. So I think you're the hero that Louisville needs.

[Matt Jones]

You guys, I appreciate it. I would. I'd like to be able to. To catch him, you know, that is. I don't walk the scenic loop a lot, but I don't know that now's the time.

[Caller or Guest Host]

But you could help.

[Matt Jones]

That's true.

[Caller or Guest Host]

If you see something, say something or something like that.

[Matt Jones]

That's what they say.

[Caller or Guest Host]

There you go. You could be a big part of your community.

[Matt Jones]

Patricia. Go ahead. Patricia.

[Caller]

Hey, I was just. Matt. How are you doing, Matt?

[Matt Jones]

I'm good, Patricia.

[Caller]

I just wonder if you just seen where Mark Pope's going to address Big Blue Nation tonight at 8:30.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, I didn't wear at.

[Caller]

I just saw it come on Facebook.

[Matt Jones]

Is this true? Now, wait a minute now. I mean, you got. Patricia, sometimes Facebook may or may not be true.

[Caller]

Yeah, I just seen it. I didn't.

[Matt Jones]

All right, well, we'll.

[Shannon]

We'll look it up and we'll say good chance it's not even true.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I mean, generally speaking, Patricia just Cause it's on Facebook. Doesn't necessarily mean it's true.

[Caller]

Yeah, I just clicked it and it shows on the YouTube site that it's 8:30 tonight.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. What YouTube site?

[Caller]

It's Kentucky Wildcats. Big Blue Nation. Come join me and our BBN community tonight at 8:30 pulpit dresses. BBN.

[Matt Jones]

No, I. Yeah, I think maybe they're saying that they're going to talk about when Pope addressed bb.

[Caller]

Oh, okay. I didn't know.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I don't know that, but that's my guess. But I appreciate the call. Yeah, I mean a random Facebook account got Pope interview. That would be an interesting strategy.

[Caller or Guest Host]

But it's unlikely.

[Matt Jones]

Unlikely. But it's probably they're going to talk about Pope addressing BB Big blue dude.

[Ryan Lemond]

He heard what you said.

[Matt Jones]

Not. First of all, you all said it. I said, who could not beat up train. You all said him. I agree.

[Shannon]

We all said in unison.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Yeah, I think you're in there, too.

[Matt Jones]

He was very mad at Shannon. Specific. He came in here and he. We try. I asked him to come on the air. He won't.

[Ryan Lemond]

He's walked out of the studio.

[Matt Jones]

He walked out of the studio. He is genuinely upset.

[Shannon]

See, that's why we lose the fight to Trump. He would run off.

[Matt Jones]

You think he'd be trying to punch in the face.

[Shannon]

He'd run away.

[Matt Jones]

Billy, you need. I know you're listening. You need to come in here and take up for yourself. You can't just let Shannon have the last word.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, he was mad at Shannon because Shannon didn't have his back.

[Matt Jones]

Like, you know, Shannon is the one that stabs him in the front. Yeah, Shannon doesn't. Shannon is the meanest. Yeah, well, that's the thing people don't realize about this show. The meanest person on this show is Shannon at least. And it's not close.

[Shannon]

I'll tell you to your face, though,

[Matt Jones]

I tell you, but you are the meanest. Would you disagree with that?

[Shannon]

I'm very nice.

[Matt Jones]

Stop. What do you mean? You need to come take up for yourself.

[Caller or Guest Host]

He's just on the other side of this wall that.

[Matt Jones]

Come on, Billy.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Shannon, can you call Billy?

[Shannon]

I can.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. No, it's okay if he doesn't want to come on. He doesn't have to. But I like, he needs to take up for it.

[Shannon]

He's going to have to tomorrow.

[Matt Jones]

He says he can win.

[Shannon]

Yeah, he's.

[Ryan Lemond]

He's younger than all four of us, so.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, he's got a bad next tomorrow. He's the youngest guy.

[Shannon]

Got a bad back.

[Matt Jones]

Hope his thighs aren't hurting. That's true Virus, by the way, if you ever want to know. I just want to say everyone in life needs someone that rolls for them. Like a handful of people on the text machine will roll for the president. There are people legitimately arguing with me that he would win all these fights. This person writes, trump would beat up all of you, but certainly Ryan.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Wow.

[Ryan Lemond]

Certainly taking shots. Maybe this person want to meet me outside.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Oh, wow.

[Matt Jones]

Why are you challenging this person to a fight? What is with all this testosterone in this room?

[Ryan Lemond]

Person acts like I can't take down an 80 year old man. Why don't you meet me outside and we'll see who can handle it.

[Matt Jones]

You. You think so? Wait a minute. You think you could beat up any 80 year old man? Do you think every 80 year old man out there you could take?

[Ryan Lemond]

Probably not. I'm saying this 80 year old man.

[Matt Jones]

Yes. Do you know an 80 year old man you couldn't take?

[Ryan Lemond]

No. I see him like, you know, kind of buffed out some of these guys that train all the time. I don't want to mess with them.

[Shannon]

How old's rfk? You couldn't beat him up.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I don't think you could beat him.

[Shannon]

I don't think he's 80 though.

[Ryan Lemond]

He's late 70s, I'd say though, isn't he?

[Matt Jones]

I don't know. But yeah, you couldn't beat up here. I mean, I find him to be bizarre, but I don't think. But that's why I don't think I could beat him up. You know, you got to be careful with people like that. Let's go to John. Go ahead. John.

[Caller]

Yes? Can you hear me?

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Caller]

Okay. I. I really enjoy your show and we are sorry that we can't get the players that we want for a basketball team. But we don't need to be worrying about that. What we. What I want to know is who do we have at what position and how good do we think they are?

[Matt Jones]

Good question. Alex Wilkins and Zoom Diallo are going to be our starting guards. Pope said yesterday they're two of the best passers in the country. He didn't say about scoring, but he did say the two best passers. Our three man probably will be Cam Williams, although that's not sure. You remember him from last year. He was on the team last year. The Power 4 will be one of two guys. The Justin McBride from firm or no, from James Madison. He's like a kind of square power forward, like six, eight, can shoot from the outside. A big guy in jai. Usman. Usman in Jai from Senegal. He's like 611, but he shoots from outside. And then the center will be Malachi Moreno, who you remember from last year. And then off the bench. So those are the top six off the bench. You'll have Trent. Noah will be one of them. Who am I missing?

[Ryan Lemond]

Williams, Braden Hawthorne.

[Matt Jones]

Braden Hawthorne, who didn't play last year, but was on the team from West Virginia. He's probably the seventh guy. And then you got Mason Williams, you got the kid from Washington State who played at George Rogers, Clark Morton.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

And that's probably who's playing next year. And they'll probably still be, sir. One or two more guys added.

[Caller]

Okay. But you know, I think they can whip them into shape and we could really have a good year.

[Matt Jones]

All right. There you go. Appreciate it. That was a good question. Sometimes we take for granted that everybody knows the team, but not everybody does know the team. Right.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Yeah. At a time where we're one more and maybe missing some guys. You want some of these commitments have been overlooked a little bit.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, wow.

[Matt Jones]

They've won every game in the playoffs. Six straight. Do they continue it tonight against the Flyers?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes. I know nothing about the Flyers, but I'm pulling for you tonight.

[Shannon]

Is there a spread on this or how do they do hockey? I've never been on hockey.

[Matt Jones]

It's. Well, it's minus 166 for the Canes plus 140 for Philadelphia. But Philadelphia's at home.

[Caller or Guest Host]

Spreads like always one and a half

[Matt Jones]

in the odds spreads always one and a half in hockey because they pull the goalie at the end.

[Caller or Guest Host]

So I'll take. I'll take your canes.

[Matt Jones]

All right. What do you got?

[Shannon]

Canes. Canes. Yeah. I have sweep.

[Matt Jones]

I'll take the canes. Why not? Until we lose, let's keep it going. I am a little worried about tonight, though. If I was. If they were going to lose one, tonight would be the night tonight that they would lose. But. But, but I'll take it. Do you know any of the players after all these years, have you remembered any of the players? There's one name I say all the time. Oh, there you go.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You know, they got this. The guy that scored the most for him this. So in the playoffs is Stank oven and they call him Stanky.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, I love him. The Stankster.

[Matt Jones]

Would you want to be called Stanky?

[Shannon]

For a hockey player, it feels like a good name.

[Matt Jones]

He scored in every game. Stanky in the playoffs. Stanky. We'll see you later. This has been. Oh, tomorrow we're in Corbin. Yes, Corbin. Tomorrow. KSR.
