UK Basketball Recruiting: The Milan Momcilovich Soap Opera

Evidence and Speculation Circus

• “JQ25, 26 yesterday…guaranteed it last night.” – Shannon (08:18)

• “Maybe he has fat thumbs. I’ve done it before.” – Shannon (09:26)
• UK needs this recruiting win for Mark Pope to seal the roster and keep Kentucky relevant nationally:
  • “You can’t let this go with all the factors that we have at this point. Right.” – Matt Jones (10:31)

Caller Segment: JQ 2526 Weighs In

Humor in Recruitment Coverage

• “Fans online that are the most annoying people I’ve ever dealt with…like, this man who’s looking at some $7 million NIL deals is like, ‘Is jq2526 tweeting about me? Well, I guess I got to go to Arizona.’” – Matt Jones (12:20)
• “We need JQ25, 26 type guys because Jeff Goodman came on here last week and said he’s going to St. John’s…I think Jeff Goodman is much…He has said everybody at this point and everything’s 50.” – Matt Jones (13:44)

UK Baseball in NCAA Tournament

• First pitch at noon, facing West Virginia (in Morgantown) in a regional where ticket prices are sky-high due to smaller capacity and local excitement.

  • “When Junkin’s on the mound, that’s when Kentucky plays their best.” – Drew Franklin (42:33)
  • “He’s got to go deep into the game, as I was saying earlier on the pre show, because if not, I do not believe in this Kentucky bullpen.” – Shannon (42:45)
• Importance of a strong start: “You need to win your first game to win the regional…it’s very, very rare that teams don’t.” – Matt Jones (43:00)

Comedy, Culture, and Local Quirk

America 250 Concert Collapse

• Seven of the nine original acts pulled out; only Vanilla Ice and Flo Rida remain.
  • “So here was the list again: Martina McBride, Young MC, CNC Music Pack Factory, Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, the Commodores, Morris Day in the Time, Flo Rida, Brett Michaels. As of this moment…seven have pulled out.” – Matt Jones (21:03)
• Amusing withdrawal reasons:
  • CNC Music Factory “never told it was America 250.”
  • Brett Michaels claims he “only does concerts that are about unifying America” (22:25).
  • Milli Vanilli: the booked act is actually a “Milli Vanilli tribute band,” even though MV was lip-syncing originally.
    • “First of all, how is there a Milli Vanilli tribute band? They didn’t even sing themselves.” – Matt Jones (23:31)
• Speculation on turnout:
  • “If you were to sell tickets in Lexington, Kentucky, for a double header, Flo Rida and Vanilla Ice, how many tickets do we sell?” – Matt Jones (24:27)

KSR Crew Banter: Golf Bags and Aging Relics

• Matt’s ancient gear: “It says Middlesboro High School Golf Ping. It’s a Ping golf bag. When’s the last time you all saw a Ping golf bag?” (19:48)
• Lack of head covers, rough appearance, and forgotten-at-the-dealership stories abound, to everyone’s amusement.

Netflix & KSR Cameos

• KSR friends’ movie/TV roles:
  • “Are you a cop?” – Matt Jones
  • “Yeah, but I don’t, like, speak. You see me for like two and a half seconds, but you open the door. I do, yeah.” – Shannon on his fleeting Netflix cameo (15:19)
• Upcoming “Pardon My Take” guest host show will result in KSR soundbites appearing on Netflix, potentially giving listeners their “IMDb moment.”

  • “That’s amazing. Is this AI? …You can put my picture on foam for coffee.” – Matt Jones (33:41)
  • “I want a Momcilovich coffee.” – Drew Franklin (38:14)

---

In-Depth: The Proposed College Sports Bill (28:00–36:30)

• Federal legislation led by Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell, aiming to overhaul the NIL, transfer, and conference revenue rules.
• Key provisions:
  • Sets NIL compensation cap.
  • One free transfer only; stricter eligibility/transfer rules.
  • No professional athletes (G League, international pros).
  • Explicitly bans tampering (e.g., in-season coach poaching).
  • Prevents SEC/Big Ten from expanding beyond current sizes.
  • Allows for pooling TV/media rights across all conferences if 75% approve—potentially diminishing the SEC/Big Ten’s huge financial edge.
• Potential impact:
  • “If this one doesn’t pass, there will not be one that passes. And we will basically just kind of be living in the free for all that we are now.” – Matt Jones (29:16)
  • “This is literally changing the laws that they use to overturn this stuff. If this passes, I think this is what’s going to run college sports.” – Matt Jones (37:18)
• Controversies discussed:
  • SEC strongly opposed to pooling media rights.
  • Limits on coach movement (is it proper for federal law to govern employment?).
  • Would Kentucky fans/politicians really support something limiting UK/SEC dominance?
• Opinion: Most on-air voices favor the bill for providing “guardrails,” but acknowledge it would blunt the SEC’s/UK’s privilege.

---

KSR Callers, Community, and Running Jokes

• Multiple callers check in to offer recruiting “intel,” get excited about possible TV exposure, or simply riff with the crew.
  • “My brother is a manager at an enterprise location…has a reservation for Momcilovich.” – Caller Michael Todd (47:28)
• The crew delights in discussing the imagined looks and quirks of longtime fan callers, sparking laughs about online community culture and radio lore.
• Closing with plans for Ryan Lemon’s eagerly awaited return.

• On the college sports bill:
  • “One of the things I want to make people understand…these rules will be challenged in court. They will. But…this provision would say college sports doesn’t have to follow antitrust laws.” – Matt Jones (29:39)
• On NCAA pool rights:
  • “If 75% of the schools in the country vote to pool media rights, then the other schools have to agree…all of a sudden, the SEC and the Big Ten lose a lot of their advantage.” – Matt Jones (32:07)
• Golf bag humor:
  • “It looks like you just drag your driver through gravel…it's all beat up.” – Drew Franklin (20:19)

The Milan Momcilovich saga and deep dive into federal college sports reform give this episode real substance, while the recurring themes—golf scramble fun, coffee art, and American pop tribute chaos—ensure constant entertainment.

Hey guys, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called hey Jonas.

We invented a podcast.

Well, we didn't invent it.

[Shannon]

We.

[Jonas Brothers]

We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts.

We get to ask other people questions

[Matt Jones]

because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.

[Jonas Brothers]

Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but you know, tired and sick. Tired and sick. Listen to hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts, just listen. We don't care where you hear it from.

I am here at the KSR Golf Scramble, which is going to be a big day today with lots of excitement. Our biggest one yet. You with us there, Rick? Everything's going good. Yeah, Rick, that's okay. Big day. Just keep playing.

[Shannon]

That wasn't me live, by the way. That was dropped.

[Matt Jones]

You know what? That's okay. KSR Golf scramble is here. You can give a shout.

[Shannon]

Okay, Brick, Rick's already tapped into the wine this morning.

[Matt Jones]

Rick, are you drinking this morning? What are you doing?

[Drew Franklin]

Not yet.

[Shannon]

That comes later.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, I. I just need. Yeah, I just need you to, to, to, to, to, you know, get yourself ready. 859-280-2287. The text machine. A vision auto glass text machine is 772-774-5254 in this stitch and sponsored by the TJ Smith Law Office. You call TJ. He'll make him pay. What do you think about.

[Drew Franklin]

Rick's locked in. He's locked in. We got a big day ahead and Rick's ready for it.

[Matt Jones]

That's right. It's KSR Golf Scramble, one of my favorite days. 43 teams this year. The most teams, but spread out over two courses. So more teams but less weight, which I think is about the best that you can hope for. Right.

[Drew Franklin]

And looking at some blue skies. We've had some bad luck with weather in these last couple years, but today's. Today's looking like we're going to have a good one. Really excited about it.

[Matt Jones]

I will tell you to everyone playing because I know a lot of people listening are on their way to come here or here. It's get a driver home. That's all I'm gonna say to you because there is. There's going to be alcohol all over the course.

[Shannon]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

So make sure you have a driver home. We also have a ton of stuff here. Got the A vision auto glass people here that are great with the text machine. We got coffee, Celeste, coffee. There's Woodhouse Spa is right out there. They gave me and Drew massages before the show.

[Shannon]

Oh, I gotta go out there and get mine.

[Matt Jones]

Woodhouse Day Spa in Lexington Green. So if you're playing in this, you could get a massage to stretch you out.

[Shannon]

That's what I need before you.

[Matt Jones]

Before you get stretch. Need to get. You don't play.

[Shannon]

I know, but I still need a massage.

[Drew Franklin]

I've decided we need to go to iHeart and we need massages before every show, even if we're just downtown Rider.

[Shannon]

That's right.

[Matt Jones]

That's. That's right. We also have some good news. Today at 11 o', clock, he will, for his first time, that he has left his house in the last three and a half weeks, Ryan Lemon is going to come out here and sit with us for. You can clap. He's going to sit with us for a few minutes and kind of talk to everybody kind about where. Where he is and what's going on. And I. I'm looking forward to that. First time he's been out and he decides to come here to this golf scramble. Very r. Probably he'll jump in the pond.

[Shannon]

He might, you know, he'll probably rip his shirt off when he walks in here. But, yeah, looking forward to seeing Ryan for the first time in. In a couple weeks.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. So a lot of stuff to get to. Thanks to Clark's Pumping Shop and Morgan and Morgan are presenting sponsors. You guys can come on in here and sit. You don't have to be scared. It's a big day, not only with this golf scramble, but also we are waiting on Milan. Milan, by the way, is what I was told. Milan, Milan, Milan. Which doesn't sound like it would be correct, but it is correct. Milan Momcilovich could decide, as Ronnie Millsap would say any day now.

[Shannon]

I'm sure he would get that reference.

[Matt Jones]

You know, you don't think he.

[Shannon]

Oh, yeah, I think he's probably a big Ronnie. You don't think there's a stranger in my house?

[Matt Jones]

That's right. I'll tell you what, if he wins, if he comes here, we will have no Smoky Mountain rain.

[Shannon]

That's right.

[Matt Jones]

We will be. We'll be ready to go.

[Shannon]

Three Ronnie Millsap references in the first five minutes of the show today.

[Matt Jones]

That's right. So anyway, I'm. I'm hoping he makes his decision this weekend. I think pretty much everyone thinks it will be at least by Monday. I. You know, you got to feel good about it. I think I said this yesterday. Everywhere I look, people are saying it's down to this school and this school, and it's always another school. And Kentucky, I will tell you, this is just what I'm hearing. Okay? This is scuttle butt with. With an extra big bit of scuttle. So not quite scoop, but maybe a double scuttle. I think it's. I think it's Kentucky, but Arizona Is trying really hard at the end. I think Kentucky is, you know, close. I think if it, if it's Kentucky, Louisville. I think Kentucky is the pick. Unless, you know, Louisville gives them Papa John stock and then. But I do think Arizona is trying here at the end to get heavily involved. And we'll see if it's too little too late, but feel good about it. This is probably the one of all these close ones that they have the best chance at. Can't lose it.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm very confident. I'm to the point. I'm. This is probably to a fault. I'm overly confident, not even considering him going the other way, which could lead to some pain.

[Matt Jones]

You're not even considering.

[Shannon]

It's.

[Drew Franklin]

There's just so much Kentucky has to offer. Even when you say Arizona, like, they don't shoot threes. And Mark Pope is like, how many threes do you want? We'll double that number. Take them all.

[Matt Jones]

There's literally a quote where the coach says something like, yeah, we just don't believe in all the threes. So, I mean, I, I think you're

[Drew Franklin]

360 if you're the.

[Matt Jones]

If you're the nation's best three point shooter. I don't know how you go there

[Drew Franklin]

and Arizona's so far away. He's from Wisconsin. I mean, who can he.

[Matt Jones]

Can you even travel that far?

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, proximity to home is better in Lexington.

[Matt Jones]

That's like when I went to that grocery store in Williamsburg and said, how do you get to Manchester? And he goes, you can't get there from here. I feel like that's the thing. From Wisconsin to Arizona. You cannot get there from there.

[Shannon]

I've already heard everything I need to hear. I mean, I've got JQ 25, 26 yesterday.

[Matt Jones]

Well, he basically guaranteed it last.

[Shannon]

Guaranteed it. Doubled down Jacob with his text that he sent with the emojis.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. Let's not forget that text. That text carries a lot of weight.

[Shannon]

A whole lot of weight. Especially if that is who he says,

[Matt Jones]

well, let's weigh the evidence you have. Don't forget. Awesome Eric. You keep skipping over.

[Shannon]

I was getting to that. He's third on my list.

[Matt Jones]

Awesome Eric. Jacob, who sent us the text with the fa with the famous source, Matt in the Garden. Jay Crawford, who got it from Matt in the garden.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

The number change.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

JQ25, 26, who then put out a thing on KS board last night saying, it's done.

[Shannon]

Done. Just finalizing, I believe, done deal. We've heard that before, though.

[Matt Jones]

We have heard that. Before now, one piece of. If you want to go the opposite way. Cam Williams unfollowed him on Instagram. Does that worry you?

[Drew Franklin]

Last night when I went to bed, there was a chaos board thread that had 11 pages, and when I woke up, it had 29. And I was. Has happened. And it was just utter mayhem with people talking about Cam Williams unfollowing him on Instagram.

[Matt Jones]

Now, of course, that could be for any reason.

[Shannon]

I mean, maybe he has fat thumbs. I've done it before. You accidentally click the wrong button, next thing you're following somebody or unfollowing somebody you don't even know, so you're not reading.

[Drew Franklin]

Maybe he didn't like his content. I unfollow people all the time. Like, I don't need to see this.

[Shannon]

You can still be his teammate, not follow him on Instagram.

[Matt Jones]

I think you have to follow your teammates on Instagram. I.

[Drew Franklin]

If you.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. If you don't.

[Shannon]

I think I didn't follow Billy for about three and a half years, and I did a show with him every day.

[Matt Jones]

That's true. Well, you work the best teammates, though, for some period of that time.

[Drew Franklin]

So you just need a little buffer sometimes with the people you're going to be hanging out with.

[Matt Jones]

But he just followed him a few days ago, so. So.

[Drew Franklin]

So I'm going with fat thumbs.

[Matt Jones]

Well, so it feels positive. Mark needs it, right?

[Shannon]

Oh, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Do we agree with that?

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Jeff Goodman said Kentucky is putting on, quote, the full court press. Nothing is left to be desired. It's just about Milan saying yes. So, I mean, I think everyone is reporting. We're offering the most money, we have the most playing time. We have the plain style. You have to get it.

[Drew Franklin]

Number 22 is available.

[Matt Jones]

Like, literally, you have to get him. You can't. You can't let this go with all of the factors that we have at this point. Right.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

And I hate, you know, we. It feels like a lot of times, like, this is the biggest recruitment ever. This one. Maybe not the biggest ever, but this is very, very, very, very, very important to Mark Pope next season because there's nobody else. That's what I mean. There's not much left out there. Maybe the team he has now could do something special. I still think they need another piece. So that's why there's just so much at stake with Momcilovich.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I mean, it's. You very rarely get a situation where you're like, if you get this guy, if you don't get this guy, you have this team. If you get this guy, you have this team. You know, usually if you don't get a player, you go, well, there are other options. Maybe they're not there. I mean, this is it. Like, you've waited so long in the process that at least in terms of game changer guys, this is the last one. You could, I'm sure, get another player from some country that we don't know. But. But in terms of getting a guy who is going to change what could happen with your team, this is the last one and he's exactly what. We don't have a guy who can shoot because we don't have a guy on the team outside of Trent Noah who's a shooter. And we haven't went all February without making one. So, like, this is the guy.

[Shannon]

It's going to be hard to get to 33 point attempts, as Mark Pope has said over and over, when you don't have guys that can shoot the three.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

So, yeah, it is a big difference between, you know, mediocre team and possibly good team.

[Drew Franklin]

And it's not just that he'll be taking a lot of threes. The threat of him will make everyone better. If you want Alex Wilkins to have a great season, put a shooter like Momcilovich out there. Let these guys be able to drive and open up spacing for the offense. It'll just lift up everything with him being out there.

[Matt Jones]

Now, do you like the craziness of all this? Like, do you like the, you know, JQ 2526. Awesome. Eric, do you like all these things? Like, I think this is big Blue nation at some of its most fun.

[Shannon]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

We have a group of fans online that are arguably some of the most annoying people that I've ever dealt with in. In doing this that are like, don't put any information out. You're gonna make him mad and you're gonna make him not want to come here. Like, this man who's looking at some $7 million nil deals is like, is jq2526 tweeting about me? Well, I guess I got to go to Arizona.

[Shannon]

Like, yeah, I don't think we have that effect.

[Matt Jones]

We have these people, like, they'll have six followers and they think that there's a player deciding where he's going to go based on what that dude said.

[Shannon]

I don't think other fan bases deal with these types of things now.

[Matt Jones]

First of all, other fans, by the way, have fans tweeting about the players too. It's just you don't follow them Right. I'm so tired of people writing me going, KSR is going to cost us this by leaking the zoom call. Like, what world do you live in that you think business is done based on Twitter?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I think paranoia is at the highest. I've seen it with Big Blue Nation right now, part of it. We've been burned several times lately and with so much at stake. But I think a lot of people, even this morning on our message board, it's like, maybe we should consider some therapy at some point because we're really going through it right now, having to wait for this.

[Shannon]

We need JQ25 26 type guys because Jeff Goodman came on here last week and said he's going to St. John's so I would believe somebody that's an anonymous reporter that has.

[Matt Jones]

I think Jeff Goodman is much.

[Shannon]

I like everybody.

[Matt Jones]

He has said everybody at this point and everything's 50.

[Shannon]

50.

[Matt Jones]

I think Jeff Goodman, what a report. I think Jeff Goodman should sit out the rest of this recruitment.

[Shannon]

I think I could do this. He's 50. 50. He's going to Louisville this week. Next week is Kentucky. Then maybe Arizona. Really St. John's but then don't forget

[Drew Franklin]

one because then you'll have to add

[Shannon]

it and say, yeah, I forgot that other one.

[Matt Jones]

Well, we'll see. By the way, Jeff Goodman, we, we're going to be all of us off June 15th through 19th. So we're having guest host week. Jeff Goodman and Rob Doster are going to host on the 15th. Pardon? My take is hosting on the 16th. Returning. This is the 10th year anniversary of the first time they've hosted this, which means this show will be on Netflix.

[Shannon]

Oh really?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Well, not the whole live show, but they will use clips of their appearance here and they will be on Netflix.

[Shannon]

That's cool. Can't wait to hear like Joanne maybe.

[Matt Jones]

Edie, I'm saying to you, like we need an all star list of car. I mean this is a chance for callers from this show to end up on Stranger Things.

[Shannon]

That's right.

[Matt Jones]

Yes. This could be the thing. This could be the thing that gets them to put you in the next Emily does Paris. Maybe they take Bob in Jamestown to, to Paris.

[Shannon]

You can have an IMDb page that has appeared on Netflix.

[Drew Franklin]

I was about to say how big of is is it to have Netflix stars host the show? But then I realize I'm sitting between two of them. So it's not the first time.

[Matt Jones]

By the way, did I hear the movie you were in debuts today?

[Shannon]

No, no, it's Been out for like two months, three months, maybe.

[Drew Franklin]

Terabytes. Today.

[Shannon]

Yeah. Yeah. Go watch it. Dead Man's Wire.

[Matt Jones]

What channel is that on?

[Shannon]

It was in theaters, but it's.

[Matt Jones]

I heard it's on Netflix or something right now.

[Shannon]

Oh, you're saying on Net.

[Drew Franklin]

Why is it streaming?

[Shannon]

Dead Man's Wire. Look it up. I mean, it may be on, apparently.

[Matt Jones]

[Shannon]

Yeah, but I don't, like, speak. You see me for like two and a half seconds, but you open the door. I do, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

So you're a cop that opens the door.

[Shannon]

Officer dude. Yeah. At your service.

[Matt Jones]

Huh.

[Drew Franklin]

Someone thought about your acting.

[Shannon]

Dead Man's Wire.

[Matt Jones]

And it's on Netflix?

[Shannon]

If you say so, yes.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I don't know what it's on.

[Drew Franklin]

We'll get to the bottom. We need everyone.

[Shannon]

They don't tell me these things because

[Matt Jones]

I want to see your scene.

[Shannon]

Don't blink.

[Matt Jones]

The last time. The last time you were on Netflix, you were laying on a mat having just gotten beaten up by Al Snow.

[Shannon]

Well, I got into law enforcement after that, so nobody would beat me up again. You beat me up now, you're going to jail.

[Drew Franklin]

It says it's on Netflix. There you go.

[Matt Jones]

Dead Man's Wife with Bill Skarsgard.

[Shannon]

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio here live at the KSR Golf Scramble. I'm gonna give you some of our of our sponsors here. Don Franklin Auto is doing the driving range. Schiller Autom the putting green. Kentucky Eagles, take your shot. And the longest drive is the UK Federal Credit Union and Stretch Lab. I will not win any of those, but I'm glad to have them involved.

[Shannon]

How often do you play golf? Are you like a once a week guy or.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, when I get going, I like to play once a week, but I have yet to play this year. So this may be a little bit rough. Rough patch may have to get stretched out a little bit. But as you can see, there's my golf bag in the corner.

[Drew Franklin]

Incredible golf bag.

[Shannon]

You just throw it on the floor. You don't even prop it up.

[Matt Jones]

It's broken, so it doesn't have the things anymore.

[Drew Franklin]

No head covers.

[Matt Jones]

No head covers. That. That, that. It says Middlesboro High School Golf Ping. It's a Ping golf bag. When's the last time you all saw a Ping golf bag? Probably been a while. Yeah, I've had that since I was 17 years. Actually 16 years old. And it looks it too, doesn't it?

[Shannon]

Yeah, it does stick with what you know.

[Matt Jones]

It says Middlesboro High School on it. As all 47 year old men keep their high school golf bag, it's time

[Shannon]

to upgrade a little bit, you know?

[Matt Jones]

No, I. I'm. I'm holding in. Why do people need big golf bags? What's wrong with that one?

[Drew Franklin]

It's the no head covers. It looks like you just drag your driver through gravel. It's just all beat up.

[Matt Jones]

You know the guy going two gloves today, the guy that won the PGA Championship, he said, you know he put head covers on everything.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Said it showed how he cared about everything. I have head covers on nothing.

[Shannon]

It's been clanking around in the back of your car for years.

[Matt Jones]

Actually, I accidentally left this at the car dealership for four for six months.

[Shannon]

And nobody wanted it.

[Matt Jones]

So Mario got it yesterday.

[Shannon]

Nobody tried to take it.

[Matt Jones]

I told him my car and they were like, we don't even want this.

[Shannon]

Yeah, put this up at the yard sale.

[Matt Jones]

But we're gonna shoot. We're gonna shoot a good score. I have some sad news to report. Oh, we talked yesterday about America. 250, the concert.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Things are not going well for America. Let's hope this is not how our 250th year begins. Nine artists were on the show. If I remember, it was a who's who of who's played in Madisonville. I was told by someone that four of these nine artists had played in Madisonville. Three in downtown.

[Drew Franklin]

I believe it. I was probably at a couple of them.

[Matt Jones]

So here was the list again. Martina McBride, Young MC, CNC Music Pack Factory, Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, the Commodores, Morris Day in the time Flow ride of Brett Michaels. As of this moment, that was nine artists. Shannon. Seven of these nine artists have pulled out.

[Shannon]

Oh, my God. So I gotta know who's left? Who?

[Matt Jones]

Seven of the nine pulled out for various reasons. The only two left are Vanilla Ice and Flow Ride.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, yes.

[Shannon]

You know, who needs a paycheck? You know, he's like you know what? I'm not giving up this paycheck. I'm booked. We're playing it. I don't care where it is.

[Matt Jones]

He has officially run out of boots with the fur and he's gonna have to. He's gonna have to go ahead and play. Vanille Ice said he will definitely do it now.

[Drew Franklin]

Of course you will.

[Matt Jones]

I need to give you some reasons that why people said it.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. CNC Music Factory said they are out because they were told it was just going to be a fun concert somewhere in D.C. they claim they were never even told it was for America too.

[Drew Franklin]

Wow. So they're. They're anti America.

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Drew Franklin]

That's what pushed them out. Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Brett Michaels pulled out because. And I didn't realize this. Brett Michaels said, quote, I only do concerts that are about unifying America. Everyone knows that about me. Did you know that?

[Shannon]

No, I didn't know that.

[Matt Jones]

No, I didn't know that. Brett Michaels had such a unity first vision.

[Shannon]

No, I knew he's all about the rock of love, but that's. That's it.

[Matt Jones]

I watched that show. Unity was not the thing that came out to me.

[Drew Franklin]

So he did fourth of July at the Madisonville City Park a few years ago, but he will not do the National Mall in Washington dc. But my favorite.

[Matt Jones]

My favorite reason and this reason, if you ever want a proof that we must be living in a script. Milli Vanilli, who is best known for not singing songs, they pulled out and said, it will not be Milli Vanilli. It is, quote, a Milli Vanilli tribute band acting like they're Milli Vanilla.

[Bluegrass Caller]

What?

[Shannon]

So Millie, everybody never booked it again with.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so first of all, how is there a Milli Vanilli tribute band they didn't even sing themselves. Yeah, you're having a tribute to a group that they themselves did not see.

[Shannon]

I love everything about this.

[Matt Jones]

And they even pulled out. The tribute band is still performing. But Millie Vanilli wants you to know it's not Millie Vanilli. It's. It's. It's Millie Cili.

[Shannon]

It never was Millie Vanilli. It was somebody else singing.

[Matt Jones]

But how about the fact that a group that is best known for being a fraud is like, don't even make us part of this.

[Drew Franklin]

No.

[Shannon]

Yeah, well, they've got a new image now.

[Matt Jones]

Well, one of them's dead, first of all. So that's a problem. But that is.

[Drew Franklin]

That is probably hold back a little bit.

[Matt Jones]

Things not going well for America too.

[Shannon]

You know, the more you talk about this, though, the more I want to go see it, that means Vanilla Ice now gets a longer set list. You know, he was probably cut short.

[Matt Jones]

Now it's only vanilla.

[Shannon]

He's going to play for three hours.

[Drew Franklin]

Now, really? This is just a float ride of Vanilla Ice concert at this point. I don't even think we can label it as an American.

[Matt Jones]

If you were to sell tickets in Lexington, Kentucky, for a double header, Flow rider Vanilla Ice. How many tickets do we sell?

[Shannon]

Just those two.

[Matt Jones]

Can we fill up Applebee? Can we fill up the Legend State?

[Shannon]

How many does it hold?

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, no, you couldn't fill up the Legend Stadium. I thought you were gonna say, can we fill up Applebee's? And I was like, maybe Applebee's on Leavestown Road?

[Matt Jones]

Maybe.

[Drew Franklin]

Depends. If they just got off work at

[Shannon]

ups, they could sell a thousand, couldn't they?

[Matt Jones]

Here's the thing. A lot of people don't know this. We almost booked Flow Ride and Vanilla Ice for this golf scramble.

[Shannon]

Oh, really?

[Matt Jones]

Wow.

[Drew Franklin]

We went with a Vision Glass instead.

[Shannon]

Well, we're happy to have you.

[Matt Jones]

Like, I don't know if that will be enough to keep people interested in the golf screen.

[Drew Franklin]

I know there's probably a little bit of politics to this, but if you had the opportunity to perform to celebrate 250 years of America. Shannon, there's an open door here for Alex.

[Matt Jones]

Let's go.

[Shannon]

Book us. We'll go. We'll play.

[Matt Jones]

I think they were also, though, planning to debut the Trump $250 bill.

[Shannon]

Oh.

[Matt Jones]

the event.

[Shannon]

Well, Vanilla Riders are the guy that you want to.

[Matt Jones]

They're giving them. Okay, wow. Enough. Enough joking about poor Flo Rida and Vanilla Ice. I'm glad to see, though, Milli Vanilli still has principles.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

After all these years. Don't you just act like you're a tribute band and you're Millieville.

[Drew Franklin]

That's got to be the easiest band to cover, though.

[Shannon]

What a Life, too. I mean, you put out one song, and you can tour the rest of your life on that. I mean, that's.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, apparently. Who's up next? Got Elijah up next. Elijah. How are you, Elijah? Oh, is this 25? I think it is. Okay, JQ 25, 26. You posted last night on message boards that it's a done deal. Is that true?

[JQ2526]

Yes, it's done. We're waiting for Milan at this point. 30 minutes ago, I'm pretty sure he did his last nil contractual advertisement. If you go on his Instagram, it's the latest thing that he's posted on his Instagram story, but I'm pretty sure this is done.

[Matt Jones]

But when you say we're waiting on him, I mean a deal needs two people to agree. So has he agreed?

[JQ2526]

Yes, yes, I think we're waiting on him. He's going to make his announcement first.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

50 minutes ago he posted an advertisement. Maybe he's got to fulfill those obligations from Iowa state.

[Matt Jones]

All right. JQ 2526, your good name is resting here on, on this. When do you according to you, when should we expect a decision?

[JQ2526]

Anytime. I've been refreshing my Twitter all morning. I it could be at any time. We could, you guys could be live on air and it drops.

[Matt Jones]

All right. Well, we will see. All right. Well, thank you. Way to he sticks his neck out. I mean, even though we don't know

[Shannon]

who he is, at least he commits better than Jeff Goodman.

[Matt Jones]

This could be the start of Elijah Goodman. 859-280-2287. This is KSR. We'll take a break. Be right back. Welcome back. Tuckee Sports Radio here live at the KS Bar at this is not KS Bar. This is the Kentucky golf scramble. Ksr, you know, already feeling memories.

[Shannon]

I'm sad.

[Matt Jones]

Yes. When we get through next weekend, you, by the way, come by all weekend there at ksbar, say, have a good final meal. All right. I want to talk for a second. I meant to get to this yesterday. I did not. I want to talk about the the college sports bill real quick that has been proposed. I'm not going to bore people to death. But look, if you care about college sports, you want to know what the rules are that are going to be applied. And this is the if there is going to be a bill that is going to pass Congress and that is going to create rules, this is going to be it. If this one doesn't pass, there will not be one that pass. And we will basically just kind of be living in the free for all that we are that we are now. So let me give you a quick note. This is where this is Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell, two senators, one Republican, one Democrat, but they have others working for them that are Republicans and Democrats. They have signed on to this. This represents over a year of negotiation. They have said, look, minor provisions of this can be tweaked, but for the most part, this is it because all these issues have already been argued about. Here are the basics of what's in the bill and I just want people to understand what it is. First, sets national standards for nil compensation and and target deals basically creates the closest thing you can have to a hard cap. There will be an amount of money that teams can give to players and that is it. If the anything else that happens has to be through private companies and if it is shown it's connected to the school, you could be punished. Now will that be exploited? Of course it will. But it will set a cap which as of right now, doesn't really exist. Second, it allows the csc, that's the group, to enforce the cap. And it will not violate antitrust rules if it enforces the cap. One of the things I want to make people understand, a lot of people go these rules will be challenged in court. They will. But the reason these rules get struck down in court is not because of the constant institution or any. It is because of antitrust laws. These, this provision would say college sports doesn't have to follow antitrust laws. So Shannon, basically what that means is these would be okay. So I keep people seeing people say if this passes, this will just get blocked in court. I actually don't think it will because the things that would block it. It bans make sense. Yes. All right, next, enforceable transfer rules. You can only transfer once. One free transfer. Otherwise it has to be a special circumstance. I personally don't really like this, but a lot of people do. My question is, do you really need to put that in the law? But it's in here. Okay. Second, five year eligibility clock, which has already kind of gone into effect. You have five years to play.

[Mood.com Advertiser]

Next.

[Matt Jones]

This is a big one. Professional athletes cannot play in the NCAA right now. They've basically said if you played in the G League or etc, you can play. This would say no. Professional athletes, if they apply it to European players, it might end this era of people coming from Europe. My guess is they'll find a way to let the Europeans come. But if, as I read this, I don't think you would be able to. Next. And here are some of the ones that are interesting. Protects tampering, makes it against the rules to contact a coach during a season. So no Lane Kiffin, you basically will not be able to talk to a coach while their team is still playing. I'm surprised by this one. Again, I don't know if it should be a federal law. You're gonna put Lane Kiffin in prison if he talks to a thing. Like, I think that's.

[Shannon]

But, well, that'll stop it.

[Matt Jones]

If with the threat it'll stop it and we'll see. Next, provisions to guard against the formation of A super league basically will say to the SEC and Big Ten, you can add no more teams. This is the league you don't get. You can't. And essentially, the day the bill goes in the pass, the teams, the league you're in, that's the league you're in. What I could see happening is it passes and then all of a sudden, teams scramble to get in those leagues. But, like, if you're in, you're in. And this is the sec, and for the future. That's kind of a new thing I hadn't heard about. That's interesting, right, Drew?

[Drew Franklin]

Definitely.

[Matt Jones]

Next thing, the legislation says that all money for media rights can be pooled. Now, this is massive. And if this bill goes down, I just want people to understand it will be because of this reason. This says if 75% of the schools in the country vote to pool media rights, then the other schools have to agree. So what is pulling media rights means? It means that SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 ACC, all those conferences are selling their media together practically. What does that mean? The advantage that the SEC and Big Ten have, which is they get a lot more money than the other schools, goes away. And, Drew, the SEC is going to be against this. They already are against it. But if it passes, all of a sudden, the SEC and the Big Ten lose a lot of their advantage.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. By the way, is that your face on that coffee before us?

[Matt Jones]

They just made face my face on

[Drew Franklin]

coffee that threw me off when they saw that down.

[Shannon]

You're looking very frothy.

[Matt Jones]

Wow.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. That's impressive.

[Matt Jones]

I'm sorry.

[Drew Franklin]

This is much more important than what's

[Matt Jones]

happening in college athletics. That's my face. Yeah, they do that.

[Drew Franklin]

Study hands to draw that.

[Matt Jones]

Don't.

[Drew Franklin]

Don't tell us it's a printer. You did it by hand.

[Matt Jones]

You can put my picture on foam for coffee.

[Shannon]

Well, that's what they just did. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

That is amazing. You got a tie on. That's impressive.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Is this AI. Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

But anyway, I can see why the SEC would be very opposed to that, because that's where. That's one of the main benefits of being in the SEC right now, is the money you get.

[Matt Jones]

Do you all not think this is

[Drew Franklin]

crazy as I do? Yeah. I gotta stand up, get a better look.

[Matt Jones]

Did you get a picture?

[Drew Franklin]

Is that a pocket square or is it just a little. Little dot there?

[Matt Jones]

I think it's just a dot.

[Drew Franklin]

You look very dressed.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I don't want to drink.

[Shannon]

Yeah, I'll drink. You freeze it.

[Drew Franklin]

Keep it forever.

[Matt Jones]

I'm drinking My face?

[Shannon]

Yeah. How do you taste?

[Matt Jones]

Beautiful.

[Drew Franklin]

Vanilla.

[Shannon]

The aroma's great.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Very sweet. That tastes very sweet.

[Drew Franklin]

It's got a little zest to it.

[Matt Jones]

All right. And then last thing it does, it. It's explicitly says that it has no opinion on whether or not players are athletes. So it'll still allow at players to sue saying they're athletes if they want to. I saw Ted Cruz on a interview talk about it and he said basically, look, we've spent months on this. It's either going to pass fully or it's not going to pass at all. He thinks it will pass. We'll find out. But I think what you're going to have here is SEC versus everybody else. The other conferences are going to want this. The SEC is not. And we'll see. Shannon, what happens?

[Shannon]

Everything that you said, I kind of like where this is going. I hope it does pass. I think that we need some sort of guardrails on everything because right now there are no rules. You can do whatever you want. And we all knew at some point this was coming. So I think this is probably as good as time as ever to make it happen.

[Matt Jones]

It will be interesting to see if these senators that represent southern states get behind this. Right. Like. Like, let's just look at Kentucky. Will Rand Paul and then let's say it's Andy Barr. Will they vote for something that will take away some of Kentucky's advantage in sports? I don't know. I mean, I don't know. Ted Cruz represents Texas, which this is going to hurt Texas and it's going to hurt Texas A and M. And it's interesting that he's writing it.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

But it probably will have an effect.

[Shannon]

Would you. Would you vote it through?

[Matt Jones]

See, I don't know because I do. I think this bill is probably better for college sports than what exists. Yes, but it's going to make it easier for Louisville to compete against Kentucky. Well, so I don't know if I like it.

[Drew Franklin]

We have a pretty good sign up right now.

[Matt Jones]

There really is like a selfishness component. The SEC gets like three times more money than the acc right under this bill. That won't happen anymore. It'll still get more money, but it's not going to get as much of money. So the gap between the SEC and the other conferences is going to close. And the question is, do you want that or not? It's kind of like in baseball, if there's a salary cap, if you're a Dodgers fan, it's gonna hurt you.

[Shannon]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

So are you for it or not, it might be better for the sport, but it's worse for you.

[Drew Franklin]

So we'll see.

[Shannon]

You know, like, obviously, being a Kentucky fan and, you know, a fan of the sec, I understand it hurts them, but I think overall, for the betterment of the sport in general, this. This is much better.

[Drew Franklin]

We'll see.

[Matt Jones]

What would you do?

[Drew Franklin]

I like most of it. It's the least important and probably wouldn't even really affect that many teams. It'd be very random and rare. But I don't understand how they can step in and tell coaches about changing jobs. Like how the federal government can tell a private, you know, person where they can work.

[Matt Jones]

If they pass this bill, they could do it. The question is, should they?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, that's that one. Seems like, why is that in there to me? I know that's not as huge of deal as the roster and the. And the revenue shares, but it's like, how can you tell Lane Kiffin if he wants to go change jobs? Why are you getting involved?

[Matt Jones]

When I read all this stuff, though, I think it's important. When you read all this stuff, one thing that critics always say is, well, they can pass this, but it'll all get overturned in court. I actually think none of it will get overturned in court because this is literally changing the laws that they use to overturn this stuff. So I. If this passes, I think this is what's going to run college sports. Now the question just is, will it pass? Tell me about Stockton Morgan.

[Shannon]

Here's a spring market tip for you. The homes you like, well, everybody else likes them too. Be prepared. Can help make a big difference with Stockton mortgage. They can help get you to the closing table. You can go to stockton.com and spring is a busy buying season. Everybody's making moves. You can be ready and have all your paperwork ready to [e-mail] NMLS8259 equal housing lender.

[Matt Jones]

I can't believe they put my face on coffee.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, what else can they put on the coffee?

[Shannon]

Anything, apparently. Anything you want.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, so they could put, like, obscene things on the coffee if you want it.

[Drew Franklin]

I want a Momcilovich coffee. Like they could buy one of those.

[Matt Jones]

Hey, Mario, have them make a Mom Chilovich coffee.

[Drew Franklin]

I'll drink that with jelly beans in it.

[Matt Jones]

Let's do a Mom Chilovich coffee as well. Celeste coffee. Getting it done. We'll take a break and be right back.

[Matt Jones]

Huge news.

[Jonas Brothers]

We created our own podcast called hey Jonas.

We invented a podcast.

Well, we didn't invent it.

We.

We just contributed to it. First people to do podcasts. Pretty. Yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts, but this one's extra special.

[Matt Jones]

So how did we.

[Jonas Brothers]

How do we actually come up with the name hey Jonas? Guys, I honestly don't remember.

[Shannon]

I think it was on a call

[Matt Jones]

about what we should call it and, well, we were thinking.

[Jonas Brothers]

I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes, I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing a

[Matt Jones]

bit for the podcast.

[Jonas Brothers]

People could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, hey, Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title. But thanks for remembering that. Guys, listen to hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

Listen to Humor Me with Robert Smigel and friends on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This week on Crimeless, we're joined by our first ever guest. Sorry, our first ever human guest.

[Drew Franklin]

I don't think I could be in the same room with Shamrock the parrot. I'd be too nervous.

[Matt Jones]

That's right, the very funny Will Ferrell joins Rory Scoville and me, Josh Dean, for an episode dedicated to the many crimes committed by people also named Will Ferrell. They called to his fellow officer for the Nippers.

[Drew Franklin]

What are the Nippers?

[Matt Jones]

Very good question.

[Drew Franklin]

No, I was thinking, would that be a good name for, like, a salad dressing? Simple Assault. And it's a play on words. Salt. Maybe not.

[Shannon]

I say we invest and we see.

[Drew Franklin]

There's only one way to know.

[Matt Jones]

This did not amuse the cops, by the way.

[Drew Franklin]

Normally the cops are amused, but this did not amuse the cops.

[Matt Jones]

Will even comes clean about some of his own crimes.

[Drew Franklin]

I didn't get caught. You know why? If you don't want to be suspected of anything, you whistle as you walk.

[Matt Jones]

Listen to crime list on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back. It is KSR here at KSR Golf Scramble at uk. They just. Celeste Coffee just made Mom Chillovich into

[Shannon]

a coffee in a Kentucky jersey.

[Matt Jones]

In a Kentucky jersey.

[Shannon]

It's amazing.

[Matt Jones]

I just. I mean, I'm posting this right now. That is amazing, isn't it?

[Shannon]

It is. I don't know what kind of like 3D printer they're using over there, but I kind of need one for my house.

[Drew Franklin]

When I got the logo and even your face, I was like, that's probably something they worked on last night to get, you know, rigged up and ready to go.

[Matt Jones]

They did that.

[Drew Franklin]

Turned that around in minutes.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

That's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

[Shannon]

And it makes it taste better, too.

[Matt Jones]

It does. Well, thank you to Celeste Coffee. We got. Ryan Lemon just walked in here. He's going to join us here at the start of the second hour. Great to see him. And I know all of you all will be excited to. To hear him talk. Let's go over a couple things as well. UK Baseball. First pitch of the NCAA tournament for UK baseball is at noon against West Virginia. Excuse me. In Morgantown. How you feeling?

[Drew Franklin]

Got my money line bet in. Already got a little plus 130. Jelkin will be pitching. That's why I feel confident we'll see what happens after this one. But when Junkin's on the mound, that's when Kentucky plays their best. So I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do here.

[Shannon]

Coming up, he's got to go deep into the game, as I was saying earlier on the pre show, because if not, I do not believe in this Kentucky bullpen. That's been the trouble. You know, he pitched great against Vandy in the SEC tournament, but the bullpen blew the game. So if he can get to 7, 8 innings, then I feel good about him winning.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, that's. I. I think the key is. And they need to win this game. Yeah, I mean, I mean, they need to win this game. Generally speaking, you got to win your first game to win the regional. It's. It's very, very rare that teams don't and, you know, waste him. Exactly. You win that game, and then you'll end up, you know, playing West Virginia. And you're basically at that point in a two of three series with West Virginia and that's what you're, you're hoping for.

[Drew Franklin]

Our guy, Adam Luckett is there. He told me like the get in price is like 300 because it's a small, smaller baseball stadium really. And I guess they're excited to be hosting. So I was hoping Kentucky fans would get in there and make the trip. But if it's a such a tough ticket, I wonder what kind of turnout we'll have.

[Matt Jones]

$300.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. He said it's smaller place and they're fired up there in Morgantown.

[Shannon]

Not to change the subject, but did you see the get in price for The Knicks game three and four? You see 30 $400.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

Good grief.

[Matt Jones]

But you know what I mean, it's a, I mean, if you're a Knicks fan 27 years and you know, but back to the game today, you know, it's a, it's a tough bracket in the sense that there are three good teams in it and then Tony Kornheiser school. But it's also a winnable bracket. None of those teams are great. I mean, Kentucky did get put into a bracket that if things go well for them, Drew, they could win start if they start out well today.

[Drew Franklin]

And you know, Kentucky played in the toughest conference that exists, didn't get as many series as they'd like, but even though it hurt us in the moment, they were in so many games, even had some huge leads. So if you can just keep some of that going but actually finish this weekend, I think they can, you know, do something, maybe surprises.

[Shannon]

They also have the ability to score a ton of runs as we've seen, we've seen these, these games really scored, you know, 13, 14 runs in a game.

[Matt Jones]

I think, I believe it was at this golf tournament three or four years ago. We were playing during it. I think we were playing West Virginia or something in the, in the base in baseball because I remember as we, we drove around watching the game and I think we won. So hopefully we'll have that. Good luck again.

[Drew Franklin]

I brought a speaker with me. Normally that would be playing music, but I'll have a little Darren Hedrick and be listening to the game as our boy Billy produces it and misses out on the fun today. But it's more important, more important. Looking forward to seeing how it goes or hearing how it goes.

[Matt Jones]

Already 146 likes on the Momcilovich coffee.

[Drew Franklin]

Maybe he'll like it.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[Shannon]

Tag him on it.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, people should.

[Shannon]

They're not doing this at Arizona.

[Matt Jones]

Yes. Nobody cares like that in Arizona. Who's next? Rick? Bluegrass is next. Bluegrass, go ahead. Bluegrass.

[Bluegrass Caller]

Well, fellas, I was going to be a little bit negative today and talk about what if we didn't, like, would it take us a decade to get back to our notoriety? But then, but then, Matt, you mentioned Netflix and I could. Pete, Bluegrass. I could see my name in lights. I got so dad burn excited. But then I started thinking, what if you. And you know, when I think I talk slow, I think slow, I act slow. So this is going out on them. But what if you could zoom with your collars and you could actually see us, see where we were at, like the guy that's barefoot, you know, like,

[Matt Jones]

I, I, I prefer to, like, have the vision in my mind of what you all look like. I appreciate the call. I mean, so sometimes I meet people and like, they don't look like what I thought. And so I kind of like having the, the vision. Sometimes people look like you think, and then there's people like our guy with the two questions.

[Drew Franklin]

Madison.

[Matt Jones]

Madison.

[Shannon]

I don't.

[Matt Jones]

If you've never met him, I don't care what you think he looks like. He does not look like what you think he looks like.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, not at all.

[Matt Jones]

And so I kind of prefer the, the anonymity of not knowing.

[Drew Franklin]

Me too. I have a, A visual of like most of our callers even going way back in the day. We're friends with them now, but when fake Barty would call in, I just saw a purple dinosaur while he was talking.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, Fake David Beckham is another one that like I. When you meet him, the Ryan Brian Lemons alter ego there. What's. Well, why can't I think of his name? Chat. Oh, chat.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, There you go.

[Shannon]

Chester.

[Drew Franklin]

I've got an image of Chester. I don't want to ruin that. I like, I like what I've created.

[Matt Jones]

I like what I know about.

[Shannon]

Like, I wanted Madison to be an 86 year old man younger than. Not somebody younger than me when I meet them.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, Madison is the most surprising looking.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Person ever. So who's next?

[Shannon]

Michael Todd is next.

[Matt Jones]

Michael Todd, how are you?

[Drew Franklin]

Good.

[Matt Jones]

How are you? Good. The food's out now I got the.

[Bluegrass Caller]

I'll let you decide if this is scoop or scuttlebutt. I kind of thought it was more on the scoop side. My brother is a manager at an enterprise location that is undisclosed and he just has a reservation for someone to pick up a car and I. I'm gonna butch his last name. But, mom, Silovich or whatever.

[Matt Jones]

No.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I don't believe that. Yeah, I'm sorry. I do not believe that Momcilovich has. Has a reservation at an Enterprise.

[Bluegrass Caller]

I know. That's.

[Matt Jones]

I just don't believe.

[Bluegrass Caller]

That's what I was thinking, but maybe he was, like, in a. Assistant or made it for him. I don't know. So.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, now Mario used to work in Enterprise.

[Drew Franklin]

Can you still log in?

[Matt Jones]

Mario Mar. Mario. We. We hired Mario from Enterprise.

[Shannon]

That's right.

[Matt Jones]

So, you know, he could find out. Yeah, I appreciate the call. I mean, I would think the only way that would happen is if mom Chilovich heard that we took Stokes back to the airport and a blue Kia and he was like, I want my own car.

[Drew Franklin]

Risk it.

[Matt Jones]

I do not want you sending me to the airport in that key.

[Shannon]

He's not doing the you click, we pick option on there Scoop like that

[Drew Franklin]

is what makes this so fun. It's so ridiculous. But it does give us a little bit of hope. Little nuggets like that.

[Matt Jones]

If I find out that he was at Enterprise, Like I said, we have a connection here. By the way, Mario, this is the preppiest you ever looked.

[Drew Franklin]

Mr. Wimbledon over there.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, you really look like you're playing breakfast at Wimbledon.

[Shannon]

He's got push down socks on.

[Matt Jones]

When did you start the white on white?

[Drew Franklin]

That's all white.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, wow. It's like Roger.

[Drew Franklin]

So I told him when he walked in, it looks good.

[Matt Jones]

It's a good look. It's just. I've never seen that look in you with you before. All right, we're gonna take a break. When we come back, Ryan Lemon is here and gonna talk to us. Should be. Should be a great time. We'll be right back.

[Blue Square Alliance Announcer]

Hot take. You can disagree with someone and not hate them. I know. Really groundbreaking stuff. But lately that line seems blurry because hate is rising across communities in all kinds of ways. And Jewish communities are getting a lot of it right now. You don't have to agree with people. You just have to not be awful. The blue square is a simple way to say, I'm with you, and I don't tolerate hate of any kind. Go to bluesquarealliance.org, get a pin, share it, and stand up.

Hey, guys, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called hey Jonas.

We invented a podcast.

Well, we didn't invent it. We. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts.

We get to ask other people questions

[Matt Jones]

because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.

[Jonas Brothers]

Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but, you know, tired and sick. Tired and sick. Listen to hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
