  • Linguistic reflections:

    • Matt observes how some are true to the region, not just mispronunciations but innovations and word creations.

[Co-host or Guest]

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

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back. Hour number two Kentucky Sports Radio, 859280, 2287 Text Machine, 777-27745 I just want to thank you for all the messages people are sending that about Ryan. I'm going to pass them on to his, his girlfriend which will make sure that he gets them. But lots of very kind comments and you know, I just want to, I'll just say this and then drop it. He, I mean he's, he's okay but it's also, you know, it's a thing. So that's why I want everybody to be thinking about him and pray for him and, and you know, show that KSR family love. Now Mario said he didn't know toboggan. No. You had never heard that word before. So that's what I'm saying. I thought everybody knew. But are you ready to hear Shannon Drew Mountain words? I'm excited about this.

[Shannon Drew]

I've heard all of these probably say some of them.

[Matt Jones]

I'm sure you all have heard all these but I think sometimes we they're so a Part of the way we talk that we don't realize that. That they're not actual words that other people use. And I'm using words to some extent. They're not just mispronunciations. So, like, I was going to say holler, but holler is actually just a mispronunciation of hollow. Right. A hollow in the mountain, and we just say holler. So these are ones that, through mispronunciations or whatever, we just said something new. All right. Reckon.

[Co-host or Guest]

Oh, yeah.

[Shannon Drew]

When you brought this up, reckon was the first word that came to my mind.

[Matt Jones]

Like, I reckon I'm going to the store. There's no equivalent of the word reckon.

[Shannon Drew]

You know, I reckon there's not.

[Co-host or Guest]

Well, it's like, I think. I think I'll go to the store.

[Matt Jones]

But reckon is not a misprint. We just decided that the word reckon meant I think I'm going. That's a good one. So I. I reckon this one's good. Wallering. He's out there wallering in the mud.

[Shannon Drew]

I like that. You're turning up your own twang a little bit for these two.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I mean, I need people to understand how they. How they say, he's out there wallering in the mud. There's not wallering somebody, just that. But I. But we know what that means.

[Shannon Drew]

Absolutely.

[Matt Jones]

It means to wallow. It means to waller.

[Shannon Drew]

Yeah, I wallow around occasionally.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. Now, some people have heard yuns that's gotten some attention because of macafee. Because they say yuns or whatever. In Pittsburgh, Cal even did it a little bit, too, But a lot in the mountains, we do a plural version of that, Yinzes. So yuns is almost singular, but yuns is. It's when you're talking to a group.

[Shannon Drew]

It's a group of yin's. Yeah. Makes sense.

[Matt Jones]

Yinzes need to clean this place up. So we actually made a country word. Even more country. All right, now, Jeff Foxworthy did this one. Jeet.

[Shannon Drew]

Oh, I think I know. Can I guess? Is it G yet?

[Matt Jones]

Did you eat?

[Shannon Drew]

Yeah. Did you eat yet?

[Matt Jones]

Yet is a word. But we take. Did you eat? And just say jeet. Jeet.

[Co-host or Guest]

Jeep something.

[Matt Jones]

Jeet.

[Shannon Drew]

Cheat some. I got stuff in the fridge.

[Matt Jones]

Mario's looking at me like I'm from the moon, but you just go, jeet. And he's just looking at it. Yesterday, another one yonder.

[Co-host or Guest]

Oh, yeah.

[Shannon Drew]

Figured this would be on the list.

[Co-host or Guest]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

Over yonder.

[Shannon Drew]

Where'd you hit that golf ball? Way over yonder.

[Matt Jones]

Yonder.

[Co-host or Guest]

I reckon I'll go get it.

[Matt Jones]

I reckon I'll go get it because it's over.

[Shannon Drew]

Young.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Not a word anywhere else. Okay. This one has become more common, but I do think it got start in the mountains. A chaw, a jaw like. Like a big piece.

[Shannon Drew]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Just make sure that's the direction. Put a charge because you remember the famous Geechee chow.

[Co-host or Guest]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I wish you all could see Mario's face when you put. When you put tobacco in, you call it a chalk. And there was a famous video at a Kentucky game one time where guys sitting right behind the camera put a big charlie in and a guy made a tick tock where he goes, get you chow in there. Bowl. You got that one, Shannon. I know you do.

[Co-host or Guest]

Somewhere.

[Matt Jones]

Somewhere.

[Co-host or Guest]

I got so many of those now I can't find them that quick.

[Matt Jones]

I love it.

[Shannon Drew]

I have one that I really hope so.

[Matt Jones]

Now this is again a miss. A mispronunciation. But in the mountains, WASP are just waspers.

[Commercial Voice]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest]

A couple summers ago. Waspers.

[Matt Jones]

They're waspers. They're not. And it's. They're past tense.

[Shannon Drew]

Is it like a super wasp or. It's just a regular wasp.

[Matt Jones]

Waspers. They're not. That's just what they are. Okay. A fixing.

[Shannon Drew]

This is the one I was waiting for.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I'm a fixing. I'm a fixing to do it.

[Shannon Drew]

Yeah, I'm fixing to do that.

[Co-host or Guest]

Fixing dinner too. Like it's not.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, but. But actually I think it's even. It's not just fixing, it's. I'm a fixing. I'm a fixing to do it instead of.

[Shannon Drew]

Instead of. I'm about to do this.

[Matt Jones]

About to do. Because I think they addiction to. Because it's like no. So affix that.

[Shannon Drew]

And yonder were the first two that came to my mind when you brought this up.

[Matt Jones]

When are you gonna do this directly?

[Co-host or Guest]

Directly.

[Matt Jones]

Yep, directly. I'm gonna do it directly. I'm not gonna do it right now, but I'm gonna do it relatively soon. I'm gonna do it directly. Yeah. Have you ever heard that?

[Shannon Drew]

I have. And most of our listeners are probably thinking these aren't.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I know most. I mean but we're a Kentucky show. But if I were to do this on. As a matter of fact, I may do this on esp. I was thinking about doing this with Myon Sunday. Cuz a lot of you all like, you know these words. But when I look at Myon and go, I'm going to do it directly. He's going to look at me like I'm. I'M crazy.

[Shannon Drew]

Most of us use these almost daily.

[Matt Jones]

And then finally, plum. He's plum scared. I don't really know totally what the definition of plum is. Is it a lot? I like, I would say. I could see how you would go, well, he's plum crazy. But what is that? What are we saying? Somebody's plum?

[Co-host or Guest]

Absolutely.

[Shannon Drew]

Like, without a doubt.

[Matt Jones]

Without a doubt. He's plum nuts. Have you heard the.

[Shannon Drew]

The. I think this is from Foxworthy, the mayonnaise one.

[Matt Jones]

What was that like?

[Shannon Drew]

Most people think of mayonnaise you put on your sandwich, but we say like mayonnaise. A lot of people over there proud or.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, but again, mayonnaise. A lot of people. That's kind of, though, just a mispronunciation. I like that in these. In these cases, we literally just created the word from scratch and no one else really knows what it is. So I so reckon waller and fixing

[Shannon Drew]

two is my favorite.

[Matt Jones]

A fit. A fixing to Yinz's Jeet yonder chaw directly. Plum. Go ahead and get you a hog in there, boy. Oh, he says hog. Sorry. He says hog. I thought he said y'.

[Caller]

All.

[Shannon Drew]

I mean, y' all's a big one, too. Not a lot of people saying y' all outside of the.

[Matt Jones]

That's true. But you're combining you all.

[Shannon Drew]

But we've made it a word.

[Matt Jones]

And then wasper. I do really like wasper because there's no reason to make an animal past tense. You don't go pigger. Right

[Shannon Drew]

on that. We're also the only state that adds S to a lot of stuff. Like Kroger's. Like, I'm going to Kroger's. You're not going to multiple Kroger's. You're going to Kroger.

[Matt Jones]

Kroger's is a good one. And. And. But we don't do that for a lot of others, do we? Don't go to targets.

[Shannon Drew]

No. But Kroger's.

[Matt Jones]

But we do go to Kroger's. Why do you think we say Kroger's? Because we don't really say Walmart's.

[Shannon Drew]

No. So there's another one. Kroger can't be the only one.

[Co-host or Guest]

Sounds like somebody's name, you know?

[Matt Jones]

I guess.

[Co-host or Guest]

So, like, we do it with Myers. It's not Myers, it's Meyer.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Is Meyer not Myers? Not Myers.

[Shannon Drew]

It's only one of them.

[Co-host or Guest]

We always say Myers because it sounds like somebody.

[Matt Jones]

I always thought it was Myers.

[Co-host or Guest]

You look at the. The name, it's just Meyer on the store okay.

[Shannon Drew]

If you say you're going to Myers, you're going to both locations.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. All right, well, 859-28022 you can do. The tax machine is 772-7745254. I feel like I did a pretty good. A pretty good list of the ones that I could think of, but I reckon you did. And we'll get other answers directly.

[Shannon Drew]

I bet your text machine is going to light up with suggestions on this one.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I. I hope so. Who's up next?

[Co-host or Guest]

Peter.

[Matt Jones]

Peter. Go ahead, Peter.

[Caller]

Hey, Matt. I didn't know it was due Drew or Shannon, but I've grown tomatoes for 50 years. I used to create a homemade squirrel death ray or death spray that. I learned something.

[Matt Jones]

Hang on just a second. You create a homemade squirrel death ray spray. Spray.

[Caller]

Okay, death spray.

[Shannon Drew]

Where do I buy it?

[Caller]

Death spray. And it worked. But I learned something last year that when tomatoes turn sort of orange, they're in what's called the breaker stage, and they're not getting any more nutrients from the vines. So pick them, then. Don't let them sit there until they turn red, when the squirrels will come and get them.

[Shannon Drew]

All right, good to know. And send me this death spray. I want to use that. And then punch it in the face.

[Matt Jones]

I didn't realize that. So take them when they're orange, not when they're red. Here's. This is a good one. First one I see come in here, somebody will say something is then all get out.

[Shannon Drew]

Oh, yeah, I've heard.

[Matt Jones]

So, like, you're funnier and all get out.

[Shannon Drew]

Boy's crazier. And I'll get out. It's almost like plum. It's like.

[Matt Jones]

But what is that? But if you break it down. What does that mean?

[Co-host or Guest]

Funny. It can be.

[Matt Jones]

He's. I know, but like, all get out.

[Shannon Drew]

That doesn't.

[Matt Jones]

How did they get to all get out? He's funnier. And I'll get out.

[Shannon Drew]

I have no idea. When you really break these apart. They don't make any sense, but they're pretty common around here.

[Matt Jones]

They rationally don't make any sense. I gotta write that one down. From espn. All get out. All right, who's next? Shit.

[Co-host or Guest]

Well, since you're being nice, let's test this with Bob in Jamestown.

[Shannon Drew]

Oh, here we go.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome to the show. Bob in Jamestown. How are you, my friend?

[Co-host or Guest]

Oh, unfortunately, he doesn't even know how to react.

[Matt Jones]

Bob, what are you doing?

[Shannon Drew]

Bob, he's fixing the call back.

[Matt Jones]

Bob, please welcome back to the show. Whenever you get a moment that was his chance.

[Co-host or Guest]

He's not saying anything.

[Matt Jones]

All right, who's next? Michael. Go ahead, Michael.

[Caller]

Hey, how about banger?

[Matt Jones]

Banger like it? I don't know what you mean. What is he not. I don't know, Michael. All right, maybe we need to take a break up call.

[Co-host or Guest]

We're not exactly hitting a thousand on the.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, we're. We're not hitting a thousand. I'm gonna switch gears then for just a second. The. I don't know if you've seen, but they, they now have a new version of the legislation that they want to manage college athletics. They've done the SCORE act, you know, anew. Here's what I want to point out. I'm not going to go through all the details because all the details are probably not going to be the law, but here's what I'm noticing developing on this legislation in college athletics. They're becoming two distinct sides. The SEC in the Big Ten versus the ACC in the Big 12. All right, the ACC and the Big 12. What they want is they want to make all the TV rights go together. Okay. The SEC and the Big Ten want to sell them individually. And what I've noticed, drew, is the ACC and the Big 12 seem to be winning in the Senate and they seem to have President Trump's ear because the new legislation is kind of against the sec. And I just think that's an interesting thing to watch because you know who, you know who is kind of at the lead of doing the lobbying for this SCORE act are the people at U of L. The people at UofL are on the boards that are doing this. And when I saw the newest version, I was sitting there thinking, there's no way these SEC schools are gonna like that. This. It would basically make it to where the money that Kentucky and these SEC schools have, that is so much more than everybody else. It's kind of going to go away and it will make all the power schools get the same money. And I'm, I'm just wondering kind of behind the scenes, how did that happen? Because the people at Louisville kind of seem to have a huge influence on who is making these decisions. The people at Louisville and Texas Tech, they're the ones that seem to be driving a lot of this, this.

[Shannon Drew]

And it's, you know, months ago, Louisville was one of the first. They put that letter out or whatever, like trying to get out and be a bit front and face of this. When it all started, it looked like the SEC was going to dominate, dominate everything. But they're they're losing power a little bit.

[Matt Jones]

I, I, I, it's work. Something is happening with Louisville in terms of, I mean, it's not a coincidence that all of a sudden the basketball team has all this money. They're bringing Papa John back. There's a member of the Louisville board of trustees on the committee that is drafting this stuff. Like, people at UK gotta wake up because I feel like the sec, you know, Louisville seems to be, to be on the forefront of what's going on to the point that they are helping write the legislation that's going to go in. When Trump's, you know, Trump put that group together, they came up with these proposals. And when I read them, I was like, the University of Louisville could have written this. They really could have written this because it was exactly what they wanted, which I find interesting.

[Shannon Drew]

A decade ago, they were the mess with baloney head problems, and now we kind of got the baloney head situation.

[Shannon Drew]

There's a Titans reporter who does the britches report. Instead of like saying what their uniform is, he talks about what britches they're gonna be wearing.

[Matt Jones]

Britches is not a real, that's not a real thing.

It's not. We use it, though.

what a weird song this is. Beware of a gal in britches.

[Co-host or Guest]

Never trust a gal in britches. This is. This is Elvis.

[Matt Jones]

So Elvis is singing a song that says, don't trust women in pants.

[Co-host or Guest]

Yeah, pretty much.

[Matt Jones]

That's odd.

[Co-host or Guest]

He doesn't want him to wear pants

[Shannon Drew]

and he's saying gal.

[Matt Jones]

I guess he's. This is this. Yeah, there's. That's a very sexist. You know.

[Co-host or Guest]

No, Feminine wears britches.

[Matt Jones]

All right. Somebody had a good one. I like this one because again, I'm not just looking for mispronunciations. I'm looking for words that don't exist outside of this. And this is a good one. Hankering.

[Shannon Drew]

Hanker's great.

[Matt Jones]

I'm a. I'm hankering to go to the movies.

[Shannon Drew]

Hankering for some wings today.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Hankering for some wings. What does that even come from?

[Shannon Drew]

No idea.

[Matt Jones]

I never thought about that. But, like, there's no verb to hanker.

[Shannon Drew]

No.

[Matt Jones]

I honestly, I wish I had a live webcam on Mario during this entire conversation because he's not really heard of any of these.

[Shannon Drew]

He was really thrown off by britches. And we're like, you're wearing britches right now.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. He goes, what's the bra? I was like, well, if you'd pull your britches up, we. You could know what we're talking about. By the way. Very sports centric.

[Shannon Drew]

It's. It's May 13th.

[Matt Jones]

One person writes. What did you think about the Drew Deener burning the shoe? Did you see this, Shannon?

[Co-host or Guest]

No. What? We burned a shoe.

[Shannon Drew]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I don't.

[Shannon Drew]

I really.

[Matt Jones]

I like Drew. I don't know what he was doing here exactly. He said he wanted to lift the curse with U of L basketball, which I don't know that I felt like uofl basketball had a curse. Exactly. Did you?

[Shannon Drew]

No.

[Matt Jones]

But he put Donovan Mitchell shoes and he put paper in them, and then he set them on fire. And he said that by setting them on fire and burning the Donovan Mitchell shoes, they would lose the curse of UOFL basketball. I also don't know what the thought process was as to why that would do it. Now, as soon as he did it, Donovan Mitchell had a big game that night.

[Shannon Drew]

Huge game.

[Matt Jones]

Huge game. They won. But people were. Louisville fans seem like they were very angry at it.

[Shannon Drew]

What also said something in the caption about Mikel Brown Jr. Well, a lot.

[Matt Jones]

Some little fans don't like Mikel Brown Jr. Because they thought he didn't play when he. When he could have and all that. But people got very Upset. And it was interesting to look at the. At the. How mad people were. But I also wondered, can you set shoes on fire in there? Plastic that probably puts out toxins and things that you don't want to do.

[Shannon Drew]

Yeah, that rubber will burn. You need a good. Like you said, probably plastic.

[Matt Jones]

Like, in these shoes I'm wearing, there's plastic that I don't know that you're supposed to just burn.

[Shannon Drew]

That's probably the case.

[Co-host or Guest]

Haven't you seen a base like the Hot Foot prank where they. They taped, like, the matches to the back of somebody's cleats and set them on fire?

[Matt Jones]

But people. People were very mad at Drew. I mean, they were like, why didn't you give them away to. To. To. To children? And I. But. But maybe it worked because Donovan Mitchell played well. If they win the national championship, maybe Deener setting those shoes on fire will have been the thing that turned it around.

[Shannon Drew]

When I first saw it, I thought, like, a fan did it, and in them sharing it, they put, like, their logo on it. Like, they were just. No, he. Grown man radio host went out in the parking lot, and can you imagine

[Matt Jones]

if I just took, like, a pair of SGA shoes and just because you're

[Shannon Drew]

mad at Jaden Quaintance. Yeah, that's kind of what the situation.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I go set SGA shoes on fire because I wanted Shade and Sharp to play. That's kind of what he did.

[Shannon Drew]

Yeah. Seems a little far, especially for a sports radio host. Not the end of the world, but I was surprised he did it.

[Matt Jones]

I was surprised he did it too, but good luck. But I like Drew. I just.

[Shannon Drew]

Donovan Mitchell went on to score 39 points in the second half.

[Matt Jones]

That's what I'm saying. Maybe it worked. Who's next?

[Co-host or Guest]

Let's go to Sean.

[Matt Jones]

Sean, Go ahead, Sean. Hey, Matt.

[Caller]

Thought I might. Thought I might have seen out last night. Went to the Mick Foley One night standing at Comedy Off Broadway.

[Shannon Drew]

It was really good.

[Matt Jones]

Just throwing that in there. Oh, really?

[Shannon Drew]

Did you Foley? Was it comedy?

[Matt Jones]

Foley did comedy set at Comedy. Oh, my God.

[Shannon Drew]

I can't believe I missed that.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, yeah, go ahead. So it was good.

[Caller]

It was always really good. Really good.

[Matt Jones]

He's a nice guy. I got to know him some at ovw. He's a really nice guy. So I'm glad that went well.

[Caller]

Now, one of my faves. One of my faves. Okay. Sorry. If I can get political, have you or are you going to endorse anybody in the Kentucky Democrat Senate?

[Matt Jones]

I don't know who's oh, in the Senate race. No, I mean, I don't. I'm not. I don't. I have. I like Charles Booker a lot. I like Dale Romans, so. I know. I mean, I like both those guys. Whoever wins, that's who I'll be for. You know, I was thinking about. I appreciate the call, the House race here in Lexington. I still can't believe, like, that's an open seat. Andy Barr's had that seat for 20 years, and it's now open. A Republican and a Democrat. Republicans will be favored, but a Democrat would have a chance. And yet I have no idea who's running. I was driving yesterday or walking, and I saw signs and I was like, I don't know who's running for this. And that's crazy. You would think that in this, like, I just can't believe. I. If I don't know, then I have to assume, like, no one knows. And the election is next week.

[Shannon Drew]

Yeah. All I ever see are Andy Barnes.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, this is the next congressman for Lexington who will be a Congressman probably for 20 years. And I'm not sure that anybody has paid attention to it at all.

[Caller]

I.

[Matt Jones]

Have you even seen an ad?

[Shannon Drew]

Couldn't tell you, can it? No. All I see are the Andy Barr ads and then the Nate Morris ads that used to run. Those are the only two ads I can mention.

[Matt Jones]

Ad from. For. From anybody. I saw a sign for Sherry Lee Stevenson. I think there's a guy named Finnis Dimbo. And then I don't even know who the Republic.

[Shannon Drew]

Oh, is that the guy that. I've seen the Dembo ads. He has, like, the megaphone.

[Matt Jones]

He's just going to be like, his name is not finished. That's the guy that played for Wyoming back in the. In the. He would have a good chance.

[Shannon Drew]

I have seen a Dembo ad now

[Matt Jones]

that you mentioned, but his name is Dimbo, right?

[Shannon Drew]

Yeah. He's, like, going around, like, yelling at people on the megaphone like, my name's Dimbo and that's yelling at people. Maybe not yelling, but he has a little air horn, bullhorn thing. And he's just saying to him, hi, I'm. I'm Dimbo. Nice to meet you. Can I have your vote? He's just introducing himself.

[Matt Jones]

He just goes, hey, I'm Dimbo.

[Shannon Drew]

That's pretty much what I got out of it. I might not be his target audience, but that's the most I can tell you about it.

[Matt Jones]

You're gonna be voting in that primary. Is it gonna make a vote for Him. Well, you know, Ryan Lemon would vote for him if he, of course, bring Ron a sweatshirt.

[Shannon Drew]

We know that.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. By the way, the woman, Shannon, in. In Nebraska, who ran, who doesn't want to be in the race?

[Co-host or Guest]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

She won.

[Co-host or Guest]

Oh, wow.

[Matt Jones]

So she won and now she's dropping out. So it worked. Unfair. We'll take a break.

[Shannon Drew]

Right back, SKSR TJ Smith, personal injury attorney.

[Narrator]

Call tj.

[Matt Jones]

He'll make him pay.

[Co-host or Guest]

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

[Matt Jones]

That's a good one, Shannon.

[Co-host or Guest]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Orton.

[Co-host or Guest]

Orton. Orton not do that.

[Matt Jones]

She said that. I reckon I Orton. I mean, that's a good dog. And say Dolly's the perfect person to say, I reckon I Orton do that. You know, that's good. This is more like, I think deep south and not Appalachia, but this is good. If somebody's like, not a good person, they're no count.

[Shannon Drew]

They're what?

[Matt Jones]

No.

[Co-host or Guest]

Yep.

[Shannon Drew]

I don't think I've heard that one.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, he's no count.

[Co-host or Guest]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know where that comes from. That's in that song that pokes out Annie. She says pokes out Annie's dad was no count. And yeah, that's. That's one you get. I like this one. Lick. He ain't got a lick of sense.

[Shannon Drew]

That's the phrase too. He doesn't have a lick of sense.

[Matt Jones]

You don't use it in a lot of other scenarios. But you would say if somebody's dumb or reckless, they go, I ain't got a liquor.

[Shannon Drew]

You said poke salad. You know, it's more of a mispronunciation, but a lot of people say salad

[Matt Jones]

with a T. More of a mispronunciation. Why do we say lick a sense? Like, what. What's the lick? Because you just get like a little taste of something, I guess.

[Shannon Drew]

So Lick doesn't have. Doesn't even have the smallest amount of sense.

[Co-host or Guest]

Have you ever heard anybody, like, when they basically say yes, they would say instead. I imagine. I imagine you say a lot. All the time. I'd ask him question go, I imagine.

[Shannon Drew]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

My mom pointed out that in the mountains, if I ask you to do something, you to say, yes, might say, I don't care to

[Shannon Drew]

is that I don't care to.

[Matt Jones]

I don't care to is actually, yes, I'll do it.

[Shannon Drew]

It's like a way of saying, I don't mind.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, it's I don't mind. But like, if I were to say to you. If you were to say to me. Would you like to help me build this house? I go, eh, I don't care to. But in the mountains, if I wanted to do it, I'd go, I don't care to.

[Shannon Drew]

You gotta add that wall.

[Matt Jones]

You gotta go, oh, yeah.

[Shannon Drew]

That lets people know you're in.

[Matt Jones]

That's right. 859280, 2287. One person writes, I know you and Drew have enjoyed it in the past. Are you excited about the World Cup?

[Shannon Drew]

Oh, cannot wait. Absolutely cannot wait. Our first game is the night of my birthday, which is the day I met you. And hubby was my birthday. World cup. That was an event. Might have to run that back.

[Matt Jones]

That was that. That is a bizarre story. I picked you up. I've said this. That's back.

[Shannon Drew]

We play, like, 8am that year.

[Matt Jones]

I picked you up. You were watching the World cup at Tin Roof.

[Shannon Drew]

Two keys, actually.

[Matt Jones]

I'm sorry. I had just met you. Hubby had not met you. I picked you up. You were drunk, wearing a flag, and you were wearing a flag. A onesie flag. And another person came in the car with you and got in our car to go tape the podcast. And I was like, oh, I guess Drew's gonna bring his friend. He didn't tell me that he was bringing him, but that's okay. We get to hubby's house to tape what may have been the first ever KSR podcast. And we walk into hubby's house, and it's me, hubby, and Drew and this other person. And at one point, Drew looks at me and goes, who's that guy? A random person. Shannon had just gotten in the car with us.

[Shannon Drew]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Ridden to hubby's house, watched the first podcast in the basement. And no, none of us knew who he was. And. But we didn't feel like we could ask him to leave.

[Shannon Drew]

It was fun.

[Co-host or Guest]

Did everybody just assume that somebody else.

[Shannon Drew]

Because we didn't know each other very well.

[Matt Jones]

Drew assumed he was with us, and so we. We. Because I didn't really know Drew at the time. And so the three of us just sit there, and a random guy sits there in hubby's basement and watches history.

[Shannon Drew]

Y' all are like, what's his name again? I'm like, I don't know. You all brought him. Like, we didn't bring him.

[Matt Jones]

Like, I didn't bring him. It was your friend.

[Shannon Drew]

It's a good time. So, yes, we're very excited about the World Cup.

[Matt Jones]

Might be out there. And I've often wondered. I don't know who you are. But if you ever want to reveal yourself. We did wonder who you were back in the day.

[Shannon Drew]

Should we. Should we just run it back?

[Matt Jones]

But you are the world.

[Shannon Drew]

Oh, absolutely. Now, I don't have much faith in our squad, but I'm very excited. I wish I could go. I saw ticket prices. My goodness. I knew they'd be high, but I think they'd be that high.

[Matt Jones]

Ticket prices are ridiculous. And it's a hundred and fifty dollars to ride the train from New York City out to the. To East Rutherford, where the game.

[Shannon Drew]

Crazy.

[Matt Jones]

$150. Insane. Shannon and I have ridden on that train.

[Co-host or Guest]

Oh, yeah.

[Shannon Drew]

I have to.

[Matt Jones]

Did you think that was 150 train when we went on it?

[Co-host or Guest]

Absolutely not.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, that's amazing to me. I cannot believe how they've priced. I'm worried it's going to be a disaster. I'm worried the whole thing's going to be a disaster. Like, when you, when you talk about that football. American football stadiums are not really made for soccer. When you throw in the transportation costs, I mean, having been to the euros in Germany, those countries are built for mass transportation. There are trains everywhere. Riding trains is normal. In America, you get outside of New York and D.C. people and maybe Chicago, people don't really ride trains. Means, you know, like, New York, they do. D.C. they do. But in a lot of cities, they don't. It's a car culture. But these people coming from the rest of the world are not going to have, like, they're not going to have cars here. I just think it's going to be a disaster. Then you throw in, like, all the stuff that's been happening in this country, people coming from overseas and some of these countries are. Are coming are countries that, like, we don't have the greatest relationships with right now. Like, I just, I think I'm worried it's going to be a complete disaster.

[Shannon Drew]

Also, it's less than a month away, and I'm worried. We haven't really heard much about it. Like, oh, look how nice this is. It's set up and ready to go. I'm wondering, like, are we prepared? This is weeks away.

[Matt Jones]

And Shannon, it's in June and July in, like, really hot places.

[Co-host or Guest]

Yeah, that's not going to be good.

[Matt Jones]

You know, I mean, it gets really hot here in a way that, like, in Europe, you know, I don't. We don't think about, like, where do I think. I may have said this on the show once, but Madrid, Spain. Okay, in your mind, think about where you think Madrid, Spain is. You probably think it's pretty south, right? Because it's at the southern end of Europe. But it is the same latitude as New York City. England is like. Like up in Canada, latitude wise. My point is it gets hotter here than it does in a lot of those places. Not as high as it gets in Africa or parts of South America. But my point is it's going to be really hot for these games too.

[Shannon Drew]

Some of them I'm worried about so many angles of it from us being as a host, but I'm still very excited to get it started.

[Matt Jones]

You know, last year when they had that club World cup thing, it got so hot they had to postpone the game sometimes because it was Shannon too hot for them to play.

[Co-host or Guest]

So they can't handle that kind of because.

[Matt Jones]

But if you think about it, the sports we have that are outside is not in the dead of summer except baseball. And you don't have to run in baseball like you run in soccer.

[Co-host or Guest]

Not constantly.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, not constantly.

[Caller]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

So anyway. 859-280-2287. Who's next?

[Co-host or Guest]

Jordan.

[Matt Jones]

Jordan. Go ahead, Jordan.

[Caller]

Right down, fellas. One word, that one word that is in Kentucky and nowhere else I thought was Drusena, but turns out that's a plant.

[Shannon Drew]

People have been adding that with two syllables of. Matt is.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, that's a post. That's a post Game show angry at Mark Stoops. Matt. All right, go ahead.

[Caller]

Yeah, I got a question. So two seconds on the clock, which three point specialist do you want taking the shot? You got Julius Mays, Trent Noah, C.J. frederick or B.J. boston.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know that I would call any of those people three point specialists. You said C.J. frederick, Julius Mays, B.J. boston or Trent Noah. Are we talking about during their time at Kentucky?

[Caller]

Yes, sir.

[Matt Jones]

Julius Mays.

[Shannon Drew]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Maze is easy if you're just talking about consistently having made shots while they were here. The Julius Mays was probably the best shooter while he was here. Of that group. Trent Noah's probably the best shooter in theory of that group, but it just hasn't translated to the court as much. Appreciate the call.

[Shannon Drew]

We've talked random group.

[Matt Jones]

That is an extremely random group of people. Top three. You gotta have a three point make at Kentucky. Wide open for your life. One through three. Just for what they did at Kentucky, not what they did everywhere.

[Narrator]

Easy.

[Shannon Drew]

Number one is Duron Lamb. I trust him with my life. Number two, I'll go Reed shepherd, he only had one year of it, but I think he has the career high percentage he shot right around 50%, so I'm pretty solid on those two.

[Matt Jones]

I got one you're missing that should be in there.

[Shannon Drew]

I'm gonna go. Kobe, Braya.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. If he's open. Yeah, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go. Antonio, I know you're gonna say Reeves.

[Shannon Drew]

I was leaving your.

[Matt Jones]

Reeves, Antonio, Reeves. 1. Duron, Lamb, 2. A lot of choices for 3. I like Jacoby, Braya, Reed. Shepherd's not bad.

[Co-host or Guest]

They're gonna put Meeks in there. Monk.

[Matt Jones]

Listen, Monk. We think of Monks. Drive. Murray Open was pretty awesome. Yeah.

[Shannon Drew]

Booker had one bad February that hurt. His number's up there.

[Matt Jones]

Reed has the highest percentage.

[Shannon Drew]

I think he was over 50%.

[Matt Jones]

So if re. Yeah, I don't think so, but he's high 40s, I think. So I'm gonna go. Reeves, Lamb, Reed. And the only reason Reed is not number one is because in the NCAA tournament game, he had open shots and just didn't make them. Whereas those other guys made shots in key. In key moments.

[Shannon Drew]

I have two guys in their second year. We don't think about them. They're pretty automatic. Tyler Eulis was pretty nasty when open. You know, shorter, couldn't create.

[Matt Jones]

Was open. Yeah.

[Shannon Drew]

And then quickly was pretty.

[Matt Jones]

That's a good one.

[Shannon Drew]

Year one, maybe not so much, but quickly you could. He was pretty consistent.

[Matt Jones]

That's a really good one. Quickly open. His sophomore year was pretty money. All these guys we've mentioned, though, open. I mean, Antonio Reeves, open. Did not miss. Now, he tried to shoot off the bounce sometimes, and it wouldn't be as good, but when he was open, did not miss. Hey, B.N.B.N. spring is sprung. And that means you might be getting outside more, whether it's yard work or staying active by biking or running. For most people, increased physical activity when the weather gets warmer can lead to aches and pains. Court physical therapist gives you a rehab center where you will get rid of your pain. Go to court.com. that's K-O-R-T.com court.com. i like that group. You know, we also. I guess you go back in time. Delk Sparks open.

[Shannon Drew]

Oh, especially being a Mueller guy, I trust Travis Ford.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, Open pretty good. Say his percentages goes down for a career because without Mashburn, he had to create his own shot a lot. But when he played with Mashburn, he didn't miss a whole lot.

[Shannon Drew]

No, not at all.

[Matt Jones]

We'll be right back.

[Matt Jones]

You did better than Mario. I'm not gonna lie to you. I think you that was smoother than what we dealt with with Mario.

[Shannon Drew]

I will say, why is it a book that could be that could be narrowed down just a little bit.

[Matt Jones]

It's too long. It's. They give you a lot of script for that DraftKings promo code KSR BET5 you can get a hundred dollars. Go to DraftKings.com I all right. So I, I I don't want to pick the reds nationals. Like I'm contemplating whether to go tonight. But are we going to win?

[Shannon Drew]

It all depends on if they're going

[Matt Jones]

to team for us.

[Shannon Drew]

All going to depend on if they're doing that shower.

[Matt Jones]

Who's even pitching for us today? Nick Lodolo. Mr. Blister. Who we got?

[Shannon Drew]

I'm. I'm gonna fade the blister. I'm gonna I'm gonna go. Who are they playing?

[Matt Jones]

The nationals.

[Shannon Drew]

Oh, definitely going with the nats here.

[Matt Jones]

I'm gonna take the blister guy until he gets a blister. He's good. And right now I think he's blisterless.

[Shannon Drew]

I will say, though, if a photo comes out of the reds in a shower, full uniform, I'm flipping and going Reds money line.

[Co-host or Guest]

Willie.

[Matt Jones]

Willie. Go ahead, Willie.

[Caller]

Hey, guys, I got a couple of words here. The first one is kjarn.

[Matt Jones]

Kjarn? Yeah. Explain to people what that would mean, because what would you say is kjarn?

[Caller]

Well, the actual word is carrion, which is dead animal meat that buzzards eat. But eastern Kentucky kind of butchered it to kyarn. And it was a slur. Like, he's, he's as low as kyan.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Or I've kind of heard it like, like there's some mess. Like, go clean that kyarn out of the sink.

[Caller]

Right, right. Yeah.

[Shannon Drew]

So it works that way, too.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I mean, I didn't even know about that. I didn't think about the dead animal meat. I've always just kind of heard, like, junk. Get that kjarn out of there.

[Shannon Drew]

So it originated with dead animal meat,

[Matt Jones]

but I got to say the word,

[Caller]

the actual word is carrion. And then we in eastern Kentucky tend to butcher it a little bit. The other one is black garden.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know what that means. What does that mean?

[Caller]

Handling or talking vulgar language.

[Matt Jones]

And what'd you say it was?

[Caller]

Black garden.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know.

[Shannon Drew]

I never heard that one either.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know that one. I appreciate it.

[Shannon Drew]

Yeah, I'm not Kentucky enough. I gotta start saying some of these more.

[Matt Jones]

Well, he, he really came out there. And, you know, Marilyn Manson is in town.

[Shannon Drew]

He stopped answering my Snapchats a few years ago.

[Matt Jones]

He's in Louisville tonight. I didn't know if you guys were gonna go. You do have his number.

[Shannon Drew]

That's my boy.

[Matt Jones]

One person writes, matt, Bobby Bones today said he's. That you are number four on his grudge list. What do you have make of that? I, I heard somebody wrote. A couple people wrote me and said. He said that. You know, I've said this before. Like, I, I, I, unfortunately, he, he's, he is upset at me. And honestly, he should be. I, I screwed up with him, and I've apologized a number of times and we've texted a couple times, so hopefully that will repair. But, you know, Bobby's a little bit like Ryan in the sense of, like, he's, like, the nicest guy, but he holds grudges, and so does Ryan, and they're hard to overcome. But I've. I've done all I can, and hopefully that will be. Relationship will be fixed because I do really like him. But the original issue, I did screw up, so I think he has a right to be upset. But hopefully after it's been a couple years, that will get better. But I was surprised.

[Shannon Drew]

He.

[Matt Jones]

He apparently said he has a top 10 grudge list in his phone, ranked one through 10. I was the. Wow.

[Shannon Drew]

You've got to really hold some grudges to put it in print.

[Matt Jones]

That's to keep a list. I get. I don't know if he moves people up and down on the list, but I was the only name he mentioned. Oh, but I'm number four.

[Shannon Drew]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

So three people.

[Shannon Drew]

You got room to grow.

[Matt Jones]

I wonder if maybe I was number one. I think maybe. I think you want to go down in the rankings, so hopefully I'm going down. We saw him at the Super Bowl. That was the first time I talked to him in a little bit.

[Shannon Drew]

I met his crew there. They're a lot of fun. Briefly.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon Drew]

I think the Kentucky Arkansas thing probably doesn't help. I notice he'll just reply to Kentucky things like out of the blue to throw jabs. So he's caught up in that, too.

[Matt Jones]

With him, it's one of those things. Things I know, like, I was. I screwed up. I was the root cause. But there's. There's only so much I can do. You know what I mean? Like, I. I had a friend who now we've reconnected and are good friends. But going back 15 years, they didn't talk. And then finally, you know, over time. What is it the same time heals all wounds. That's kind of. You know what I hope happens? Who's up next?

[Co-host or Guest]

Doug.

[Matt Jones]

Doug. Go ahead, Doug.

[Caller]

Hey, Matt. I would like to give you a list quickly of six names, and at the end of each name, I would like for you to give me what you think the odds are there'll be the basketball coach at Kentucky next year, and Mark Pope is included in this list.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Caller]

Are you ready?

[Matt Jones]

Yes. You want me to, like, rank one through six, most likely?

[Shannon Drew]

No, no.

[Caller]

Give me like a. Give me like a horse racing odd. Like five to one. Three to one. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Okay. All right. Randomly. Jay Lucas. All right.

[Matt Jones]

I'm writing these down. Okay.

[Caller]

Bruce, we're going.

[Matt Jones]

We just got, like, a minute, so go ahead.

[Shannon Drew]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Caller]

First of all, Nate Oats.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Caller]

Mark Pope.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Caller]

Billy Donovan. Or none of the names mentioned above.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. So if you were doing horse racing, odds, I would still say Pope would be like three to five. I still think it's much more likely he's the coach here than he's not after next year. So I would say heavy favorite, 3 to 5. Of the odds you have listed, I would go next. I mean, what's the next horse? If the favorite's three to five, would it be like 10 to one? Eight to one?

[Caller]

Yeah, probably like three to one or four to one.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Well, I don't think there's anybody in here if you're gonna do that. Then I would say Billy, 5 to 1. None. 7 to 1. Lucas, 10 to 1, Pearl, 14 and Oats 20. How would you do it?

[Shannon Drew]

I have an educated guess on Pearl and I would put him as a scratch. I think Pearl is in love with the media gig.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Shannon Drew]

Loves it and ain't coming back.

[Matt Jones]

So put him at third.

[Shannon Drew]

Put him last.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, yeah. But I think Pearl and Oats now, it's very, very unlikely. I think if I think the most likely scenario is Mark Pope as a coach, then the next most likely scenario is Billy D. And then it'll be the next is probably somebody we don't even know that we don't. We don't talk about. Appreciate you. Oh, Wild Eggs Wednesday. Go to what app? Twitter. Wild Eggs Wednesday.
