Summer's got a different tempo. Everything's a little looser, brighter. One plan turns into another. You hear something, you stay a little longer. Next thing you know, you're somewhere you didn't plan to be. It's those in between moments. That's where the ideas hit. Conversations stretch out. Little memories sneak up on you. Sometimes it's just about what's in your hand. That color, that chill. The new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks. Guava and passion fruit flavors with mango pineapple flavored pearls.

Shannon (Co-host)
this is Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage and the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety. Safe Summer Driving Tour. Now here's Matt Jones.
- [03:14]
Matt Jones
Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287 Text Machine 772-774-5254 Some of you are on hold. I'm gonna go to you real quick. But just a couple comments here. One person writes, Matt, what was worse, The WIMBY turnover and foul or the Cane's own goal to end the game? The WIMBY turnover and foul. The Canes, you can't. I mean, that happens in hockey, unfortunately. Like, he didn't do it. I'm the guy just hit it all. Like, what are you going to do? That was, by the way, that game
- [03:41]
Shannon (Co-host)
to come all the way back and
- [03:42]
Matt Jones
go to come all the way back
- [03:43]
Shannon (Co-host)
and then lose on that and then
- [03:45]
Matt Jones
lose and lose on just like a cheap thing. That's the thing about hockey is like you can lose on just nonsense, you know. But what a comeback. Down four.
- [03:55]
John (Co-host)
Oh.
- [03:55]
Matt Jones
Scored three goals in a minute.
- [03:57]
Kenny (Co-host)
I've just been waiting till the third period to turn them on. I've been watching all of them the third period.
- [04:01]
Matt Jones
Amazing. And then overtime went into double overtime.
- [04:05]
John (Co-host)
They're better than us.
- [04:06]
Matt Jones
So, like, I can't get worked up, Shannon, because, like, I know they are better. Like, it's kind of. We're lucky to be in it in some ways. So it's hard for me to get really worked up about it. I do have tickets to game seven.
- [04:19]
Shannon (Co-host)
Oh, let's hope it goes that far.
- [04:21]
Matt Jones
So if it goes that far, yeah, that'll be one of the great.
- [04:24]
Kenny (Co-host)
If they, if they can like close it out in game six. Do you root against them?
- [04:27]
Matt Jones
It's a great question.
- [04:29]
Kenny (Co-host)
Are you selfish and say, no, I'm
- [04:31]
Matt Jones
gonna root for him. But I still, I've got tickets and can go. So I, I'm I and good tickets. Like, it's a listener of this show who just already has a vacation set that day and he's selling to me for face value. It's kind of awesome. Like, it's like fourth row I think, yeah. So I'd love for it to get there. I just. Just to be there would be so cool. But. But we. They're better than us, so, like, we're. I don't think we're gonna win, but we hang in there. Would you start the backup who they put in, who hasn't played in three months, but they put in at the end of the game? Backup goalie. Yeah, sure. Why not? Roll with him.
- [05:07]
Kenny (Co-host)
Yeah.
- [05:08]
Matt Jones
I mean, it's tough. I'm playing three months.
- [05:10]
Kenny (Co-host)
I have one minor complaint.
- [05:11]
Matt Jones
What's that?
- [05:11]
Kenny (Co-host)
It drives me crazy that the scoreboard says VGK for Las Vegas and not like Las or lv. I know. They're the Vegas Knights.
- [05:19]
Matt Jones
So you don't think it should be
- [05:20]
John (Co-host)
like Carolina says Car.
- [05:22]
Kenny (Co-host)
Yes.
- [05:23]
John (Co-host)
What do you think it should say?
- [05:23]
Kenny (Co-host)
I get irrationally mad. Just LV or LVs. That's what.
- [05:27]
Matt Jones
What.
- [05:27]
Kenny (Co-host)
I know there's not a lot of Vegas sports, but that's what we know Vegas as the vgk. I mean, it gets my blood boiling. I can't even focus on the hockey. I get so mad about it.
- [05:36]
John (Co-host)
That's.
- [05:36]
Matt Jones
That's a bad abbreviation. I agree. One person writes, matt, you need to wake up. You're never study the alien issue. All you know is what mainstream media says and their purpose is to lie. I say this with all due respect, 859420, but it's people like you that drive me crazy in this world. We want two reasons.
- [05:56]
John (Co-host)
One, I hate when people say mainstream media lies. What do you watch? You watch some freak online and think
- [06:06]
Matt Jones
that gives you the real information.
- [06:09]
John (Co-host)
Do it. Is CBS and ABC and NBC. Are they always right?
- [06:13]
Matt Jones
No.
- [06:13]
John (Co-host)
Do they mess up?
- [06:14]
Matt Jones
Yes.
- [06:15]
John (Co-host)
But you watch some goober who sits there with planets coming out of his ears and says anything and think you actually know what's going on. Stop it.
- [06:26]
Kenny (Co-host)
They're telling the truth that the mainstream's covering up.
- [06:28]
John (Co-host)
I will take the New York Times.
- [06:30]
Matt Jones
I'll.
- [06:30]
John (Co-host)
I'll even take Fox News before I will take some goober on the left or the right. We have those people, too, that sit there and just talking to a microphone and, like, they don't know any. My mom used to get mad at
- [06:44]
Matt Jones
what people would say online.
- [06:46]
John (Co-host)
Political pundits. And I go, mom, these people don't know anything. And I would point to people they would have on panels and go, I know that person. He's stupid. You know, I say this with like, scott Jennings is fine, but Scott Jennings was co. Was Co hosting Hey Kentucky. And now he's like considered the CNN Republican panelist. But if you watch Take Kentucky, like he didn't know any more than we did. He just, he's, he's, he's telegenic. So they put him on television. Good. But don't act like these people somehow know more. And on aliens, the people who talk about aliens are the most insane people
- [07:26]
Kenny (Co-host)
on the planet because they've opened their eyes to what's out there.
- [07:29]
John (Co-host)
What did they open?
- [07:29]
Kenny (Co-host)
You've been to Roswell. You saw the.
- [07:31]
John (Co-host)
Saw Roswell and everywhere were freaks.
- [07:34]
Shannon (Co-host)
What about the former congressman that says there's an alien breeding ground? Have you seen.
- [07:38]
John (Co-host)
But who is it, you know, it takes to be a congressman? I mean, let me. Matt Gates, the guy that was in trouble for paying a 16 year old.
- [07:51]
Shannon (Co-host)
I don't know his background.
- [07:53]
John (Co-host)
Exactly. So before you believe these people, maybe look into their background. Right.
- [07:59]
Kenny (Co-host)
You got to watch the new.
- [08:01]
Shannon (Co-host)
Just look at our Congress here.
- [08:03]
John (Co-host)
Look at our congressman in Kentucky. All right, let's look at our. How Rogers is 88 years old. Sure, he's a nice man, but like anybody can be a congressman, you know.
- [08:18]
Kenny (Co-host)
I think we found something, Shannon.
- [08:20]
Shannon (Co-host)
Yeah, I think we did.
- [08:21]
Kenny (Co-host)
Should we poke?
- [08:21]
Shannon (Co-host)
Yeah.
- [08:22]
Matt Jones
What aliens?
- [08:24]
John (Co-host)
I'm just saying it annoys me when
- [08:26]
Matt Jones
people are like you. You don't read what I do.
- [08:29]
Kenny (Co-host)
What about the UFO retrieval program?
- [08:34]
Shannon (Co-host)
Earp. This is on NBC News.
- [08:37]
John (Co-host)
What does it say?
- [08:39]
Shannon (Co-host)
Okay, read me Space aliens are breeding with humans. University.
- [08:43]
Matt Jones
That is not on NBC News.
- [08:46]
John (Co-host)

- [08:47]
Matt Jones
No, it's not.
- [08:48]
John (Co-host)
Lester Old did not lead with space
- [08:50]
Matt Jones
aliens or breeding with humans. That's not on NBC News.
- [08:53]
Shannon (Co-host)
It is, okay?
- [08:54]
Matt Jones
No, it's not.

Shannon (Co-host)

Matt Jones
The World cup is coming.
- [09:03]
Kenny (Co-host)
Yes.
- [09:04]
Matt Jones
And we need to be ready. It's the world's biggest Friday. It's the world's biggest event and a lot of people could predict the soccer, but we can't. What do we know, right?
- [09:16]
Kenny (Co-host)
Very little.
- [09:17]
Matt Jones
Very little. So we're going to have. I got Billy to come up with World cup facts of the countries that are in.
- [09:25]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Hey, guys.
- [09:26]
Shannon (Co-host)
Hey there.
- [09:26]
Matt Jones
Welcome to the show.
- [09:27]
Kenny (Co-host)
Billy, what do you think about it?
- [09:28]
Matt Jones
So there are 12 groups. There's a lot of groups this year. Most teams have ever made it. Billy's over the course of today, going to do some of the groups. We're going to start with group A. Now that I don't know if you know.
- [09:39]
John (Co-host)
The World cup is being hosted, Shannon, by three countries.
- [09:42]
Shannon (Co-host)
Did you know that, No, I did not.
- [09:44]
Matt Jones
It's not just the United States. It's also Mexico and Canada. We are, we have come together.
- [09:49]
Kenny (Co-host)
Have you seen the clips of the countries arriving?
- [09:52]
Matt Jones
Oh, they are.
- [09:53]
Kenny (Co-host)
Spain is staying in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
- [09:55]
John (Co-host)
They put Spain up in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
- [09:58]
Kenny (Co-host)
They come over here excited about the World cup and we put them in Chattanooga.
- [10:01]
John (Co-host)
Chattanooga.
- [10:02]
Kenny (Co-host)
How did Lexington not get a team?
- [10:03]
John (Co-host)
Well, Louisville I thought was going to
- [10:05]
Matt Jones
get one and I guess they took it away for Chattanooga.
- [10:07]
Kenny (Co-host)
I love the videos of all these countries descending upon America in the most random towns.
- [10:11]
Matt Jones
Yeah. All right, so let's go through it.
- [10:13]
John (Co-host)
We'll start Billy with Mexico.
- [10:15]
Matt Jones
Tell us a fun fact about Mexico.
- [10:17]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
The meteor that killed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago landed at the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. It killed 75% of the world's species. It's 110 mile long impact crater.
- [10:31]
Matt Jones
Really?
- [10:31]
John (Co-host)
So the thing that killed dinosaurs landed in Mexico.
- [10:35]
Shannon (Co-host)
Mexico for that.
- [10:37]
John (Co-host)
I didn't know that. Did you know that?
- [10:38]
Kenny (Co-host)
I don't think I did.
- [10:39]
John (Co-host)
Did you know that, Shannon?
- [10:41]
Shannon (Co-host)
Nope. I knew it landed somewhere that. No, it was Mexico.
- [10:43]
John (Co-host)
But you know, it never, never occurred to me to find out where it landed. Can you see any remnants of it?
- [10:48]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Yes, there's a crater there. That's a middle shape.
- [10:51]
Shannon (Co-host)
The land chain rock. Yeah.
- [10:53]
John (Co-host)
There's a crater in the Yucatan Peninsula.
- [10:56]
Kenny (Co-host)
Yeah.
- [10:56]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
It hit like half in water and half on land and then all the dust went up in the air.
- [11:02]
John (Co-host)
And first fun fact, Billy comes out
- [11:04]
Matt Jones
of the gate swinging and this is
- [11:05]
Kenny (Co-host)
what you need to know to enjoy your World cup experience.
- [11:08]
John (Co-host)
When I watch Mexico play Thursday, I'm going to be like, crate, there's the crater team.
- [11:12]
Kenny (Co-host)
That's all we know about that country.
- [11:13]
John (Co-host)
That's what we know.
- [11:14]
Matt Jones
All right.
- [11:15]
John (Co-host)
South Africa.
- [11:16]
Matt Jones
I've been to South Africa.
- [11:18]
John (Co-host)
Give me a fun fact.
- [11:20]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
South Africa has a law against witchcraft.
- [11:23]
Matt Jones
I knew that.
- [11:24]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
The Witchcracks Witchcraft suppression Act of 1957 is still in effect today and makes it a crime to accuse someone of being a witch, practicing harmful magic or hiring someone to name a witch. If you do this, you can carry a fine up to $200,000 and 10 years in prison.
- [11:42]
Matt Jones
Wow. You know how I knew that? You know how I knew that? They don't have stores that sell like sage, you know, or like the kind of store we went into in Denver.
- [11:50]
John (Co-host)
Those are illegal.
- [11:52]
Shannon (Co-host)
Yeah.
- [11:52]
Matt Jones
Because of the witch.
- [11:53]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Very serious about it.
- [11:54]
John (Co-host)
They're very serious. No, like they are, I think the
- [11:58]
Matt Jones
only country in Africa that like they, they're like no witchy.
- [12:03]
Kenny (Co-host)
What would I Remember, we did a lot of COVID zero. You were there. What was your biggest takeaway from South Africa other than the standing out on the safari, sleeping out there, how beautiful it is.
- [12:12]
Matt Jones
Most beautiful place I've ever been. And the extreme poverty, like, more than you can imagine poverty. And then a mile down the road, mansions. I think that's what stuck out to me was the discrepancy in of wealth that was just a couple blocks from each other. Like mansions as big as the biggest mansions in America and then shanty towns three blocks away. That's kind of hard to process. And.
- [12:42]
John (Co-host)
But I didn't know about the witches
- [12:44]
Matt Jones
because we tried to get some.
- [12:45]
Kenny (Co-host)
You tried to get some witchcraft going
- [12:47]
Matt Jones
on, and they were like, no, Got
- [12:48]
Kenny (Co-host)
to take your own stage.
- [12:50]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Let's talk about parking etiquette. In South Korea. In crowded parking garages, it's common custom to double park. If you park directly behind someone, you are expected to leave your car in neutral and make sure your parking brake is off. That allows the block driver to physically push your car out of the way when they come back to the garage.
- [13:08]
Kenny (Co-host)
I like this.
- [13:09]
Stockton Mortgage Advertiser
Wow.
- [13:11]
John (Co-host)
So you're supposed to.
- [13:12]
Kenny (Co-host)
So it is expected.
- [13:15]
John (Co-host)
It's expected that you will have to push someone else's car, correct?
- [13:19]
Kenny (Co-host)
Just a little bit, right?
- [13:20]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Yeah, just a little bit.
- [13:21]
Kenny (Co-host)
Just moving it down the street.
- [13:22]
Shannon (Co-host)
You can't steer it, like in a direction to get out of your way, though.
- [13:26]
Matt Jones
You push it directly and then you can get out.
- [13:29]
John (Co-host)
And then are you supposed to push it back forward?
- [13:30]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Yeah, yeah, push it kind of back.
- [13:32]
Shannon (Co-host)
Oh. You imagine people that don't return the car.
- [13:34]
Matt Jones
There should be a lot of non car returns.
- [13:36]
Shannon (Co-host)
People that go shopping and won't put the cart back in the cart return.
- [13:39]
John (Co-host)
You don't put the car back in the parking spot.
- [13:41]
Kenny (Co-host)
See, I got blocked in a little bit in Pineville when we were just there for Laurel Festival. If that car behind me had been in neutral, I could have just given it a little bit of push and made my way out.
- [13:50]
John (Co-host)
Did you find out why Chechy. Like, what? Is there something about Chechen history or anything that makes them do that?
- [13:56]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Well, South Korea is where they do this.
- [13:58]
Matt Jones
South Korea?
- [13:58]
John (Co-host)
Yes.
- [13:59]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
No, it's just crowded parking garages. There's a lot of people.
- [14:02]
John (Co-host)
So when you go to South Korea,
- [14:04]
Matt Jones
remember, you can double park but just leave it neutral.
- [14:07]
Kenny (Co-host)
I like it. I support that. We need to bring that here.
- [14:09]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
What do I have cars around?
- [14:11]
Kenny (Co-host)
Yeah, I don't want to get blocked in.
- [14:13]
Shannon (Co-host)
Magic the jerk doesn't put it in neutral. They got it in park. You're stuck. That's terrible. It's awful idea.
- [14:22]
Matt Jones
Interesting. I like these facts. All right, finally, last team in group A, Chechiya.
- [14:26]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Yes. The Czech Republic. For the last 30 years, the Czech Republic has been ranked number one in consumer of beer per person in the world.
- [14:33]
Caller Michael
Ah.
- [14:34]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
The average Czech person drinks roughly 37 to 48 gallons of beer every year. That's about 39612 ounce cans per year. That's more than one a day. In fact, at most pubs and restaurants, beer is cheaper than water.
- [14:49]
Caller Michael
Wow.
- [14:49]
Kenny (Co-host)
Interesting.
- [14:51]
Shannon (Co-host)
You're cheaper than.
- [14:52]
John (Co-host)
So the Czech Republic beer is cheaper than water.
- [14:55]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Yes.
- [14:56]
Shannon (Co-host)
They probably had more beer than water.
- [14:58]
Kenny (Co-host)
Yeah. That doesn't seem like it should be the case.
- [15:00]
Matt Jones
Maybe it's harder to have clean water. Yeah.
- [15:01]
Kenny (Co-host)
Harder to get the water.
- [15:02]
Matt Jones
You can have dirty beer.
- [15:03]
Kenny (Co-host)
I like.
- [15:03]
John (Co-host)
All right, so with those facts, based
- [15:05]
Matt Jones
just on those facts, who's winning? Group A. Again, we're picking just on who has the best facts.
- [15:11]
Kenny (Co-host)
Well, South Korea.
- [15:12]
John (Co-host)
South Korea's parking.
- [15:14]
Matt Jones
Is it. Is it Mexico's crater? Is it South Africa's ban on witchery? Or is it the Czech Republic's beer?
- [15:22]
Kenny (Co-host)
I'm going with South Korea. The other teams in the way, they're just gonna give them a little push.
- [15:25]
Matt Jones
Just out of my way.
- [15:26]
Kenny (Co-host)
Just a little, little bit, a little bit down the curb.
- [15:28]
John (Co-host)
I like I'm taking South Africa because
- [15:31]
Matt Jones
there's going to be no hexes put on the team.
- [15:33]
Kenny (Co-host)
Oh, good point.
- [15:34]
Matt Jones
Shannon, who you got?
- [15:35]
Shannon (Co-host)
I go in South Korea. I think there's a lot of built up frustration with having to push other cars out of the way. Like they're going to take it all out in this cup.
- [15:43]
Matt Jones
All right, there you go.
- [15:43]
John (Co-host)
Billy's going.
- [15:44]
Kenny (Co-host)
Nobody's going.
- [15:44]
Matt Jones
Mexico do B and C group coming up. A good start with Billy and the facts. Dustin. Go ahead, Dustin.
- [15:51]
Caller Michael
Hey, guys.
- [15:52]
Caller John
Appreciate my call.
- [15:54]
Caller/Listener
Got a couple comments. So, Kentucky celebrity man, you gotta let
- [15:59]
Caller John

- [16:01]
Matt Jones
He doesn't live here though.
- [16:04]
Caller Michael
Oh, they're gonna live there.
- [16:05]
Matt Jones
All right. Yeah, yeah. Appreciate the call. I mean, there's a lot of celebrities if you want to live here, but they gotta live here. That's the. That's the game. Matt, go ahead. Mac. Mac. All right. No Mac. Let's go to Jake. Go ahead, Jake.
- [16:29]
Caller Michael
Hi. I was.
- [16:30]
Caller/Listener
I just had a quick statement, a piece of advice for Drew if he was still going to that World cup game.
- [16:36]
Kenny (Co-host)
Okay.
- [16:39]
Caller/Listener
So you said you were gonna hang out with the Saudis and I just kind of wanted to let you know that a Lot of soccer fans don't like Saudi Arabia. They kind of hate Saudi Arabia because they have all that money. So they take all the good players from, you know, the European leagues and all the good teams.
- [16:54]
John (Co-host)
But why should they. Wait a minute. Why should the European leagues get the good players? There's a lot of, you know, there's a lot of why, though?
- [17:04]
Caller/Listener
Europe has the Champions League, and that's basically.
- [17:08]
John (Co-host)
But who cares? Like. Like, why should Saudi Arabia. Why should Saudi Arabia bow down and say, europe, you get to be where everything is, shouldn't they? Like, it's competition. That's what the world is about.
- [17:22]
Caller/Listener
It's just like taking LeBron and putting them on an Italian team.
- [17:25]
John (Co-host)
But if an Italian team wants to go get LeBron, like, I mean, America, we're not, by virtue of God, the best basketball league. If Italy wants to make the best basketball league, they have a right to do it. Like, there's no. There's no. I mean, Europeans have been taking players from other continents for decades. Why can't other continents come and take Europeans?
- [17:48]
Caller/Listener
I don't think you're wrong. It's just people want to see them play in the Champions League, and you can't play.
- [17:52]
John (Co-host)
That's because people are selfish and they want to get the thing that's the best for them. But. But I appreciate the call, but that doesn't mean the rest of the world
- [17:58]
Matt Jones
should just sit back and go, well,
- [18:00]
John (Co-host)
I want the British to be happy. You know, they can get to be
- [18:04]
Kenny (Co-host)
happy, and they're a big underdog in that match. I got a side with an underdog.
- [18:07]
Matt Jones
Yeah.
- [18:08]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
You are going, though.
- [18:09]
Kenny (Co-host)
Probably. So who is it?
- [18:10]
Starbucks Advertiser
Who's playing?
- [18:10]
Kenny (Co-host)
Uruguay versus Saudi Arabia. I'm going by myself.
- [18:13]
Caller Michael
I don't know.
- [18:14]
Kenny (Co-host)
I don't know where to sit. Which side would you sit on?
- [18:17]
Matt Jones
Uruguay would be more fun. A lot of rules about being fun.
- [18:22]
Kenny (Co-host)
Yeah, but I could feel like I could bring the fun. They'd be like, look at this guy.
- [18:25]
Matt Jones
You don't dress like the Saudis. You could win.
- [18:29]
Kenny (Co-host)
Maybe I'll get some live tickets. Nobody wants to pick the front runner.
- [18:34]
Matt Jones
You need to be dressed and, you
- [18:37]
Kenny (Co-host)
know, just want to fit in.
- [18:38]
Matt Jones
Their culture is not your costume. Just want to be part of the group. I want to be welcomed right back.

Matt Jones
Welcome back. Tucky Sports Radio. Somebody made a good point on Text Machine. I like to address criticisms that are valid. One person writes, matt, weren't you against the live tour and criticize the players who went and left? Yes, I did criticize the players. I did.
- [21:19]
John (Co-host)
I mean, the Saudis had a right
- [21:21]
Matt Jones
to go and try to do it. That was my point. I think the players shouldn't have gone. So like, if you want to criticize the players for going to Saudi Arabia to play soccer, fine.
- [21:31]
John (Co-host)
But I'm not saying Saudi Arabia. It's not Saudi Arabia's fault.
- [21:34]
Matt Jones
Now there are many things to criticize Saudi Arabia about. I could do a whole podcast on that. I'm not but just the fact that they want good players to play in their country. I don't want to. You know, Like, I don't like that the WWE does shows in Saudi Arabia, but I don't think it's Saudi Arabia's fault that they try to get them. I think the WWE shouldn't go.
- [21:52]
Kenny (Co-host)
They shouldn't turn it down.
- [21:54]
Matt Jones
Well, I think they should turn it down.
- [21:56]
Kenny (Co-host)
No, I mean, Saudi Arabia, if they
- [21:57]
Matt Jones
could get wwe like they should, like they shouldn't go. Well, we just need to make sure Europe's happy. That's what I'm saying.
- [22:04]
Kenny (Co-host)
All right, I'll sit with you.
- [22:06]
Matt Jones
Sherry devoe, as a famous person, she doesn't. She doesn't live in Lexington, though, does she? She lives in Louisville.
- [22:12]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Not sure about that.
- [22:13]
John (Co-host)
But which people? Like, there are people that if you say that so and so, then they
- [22:20]
Matt Jones
would know who it is, but that
- [22:22]
John (Co-host)
doesn't mean they would just get recognized on the street. Like, do you think Cherie Devoe would get recognized on the street consistently? She just kind of looks like a normal person.
- [22:31]
Kenny (Co-host)
Not as much as a lot of people we've named already.
- [22:33]
Matt Jones
Like, you mentioned John Morgan from Morgan and Morgan.
- [22:38]
John (Co-host)
If you said to me that's the
- [22:39]
Matt Jones
Morgan and Morgan guy, then I'd be like, oh, yeah.
- [22:41]
John (Co-host)
But, like, he kind of looks like
- [22:42]
Matt Jones
a normal dude you'd see at church.
- [22:48]
Kenny (Co-host)
I'm trying to think. There's got to be some commercial we've all seen for 20 years with someone on it that's just drilled into our brains. I mean, I can't come up with one.
- [22:54]
John (Co-host)
If the guy who.
- [22:55]
Matt Jones
Who tries to get you out of your timeshare is there, I'll recognize his voice.
- [23:00]
Shannon (Co-host)
You wouldn't know his face, though.
- [23:02]
Matt Jones
But I wouldn't know his face. All right, Group B.
- [23:06]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Yes.
- [23:07]
Matt Jones
You did a great job with facts.
- [23:08]
Kenny (Co-host)
Yeah, that was fun.
- [23:08]
Matt Jones
Thank you, Canada. One of the hosts.
- [23:11]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
You're going to love this one, Matt.
- [23:13]
Matt Jones
Okay.
- [23:13]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
The town of St. Paul, Alberta, in 1967 built the world's first UFO landing pad.
- [23:20]
Shannon (Co-host)
What is this UFO?
- [23:21]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
It was built as a symbol of unity, welcoming all people, and aliens in peace. Today, it's a popular tourist attraction and includes a museum about UFO sightings.
- [23:32]
Matt Jones
Okay, so they just. They just built something to welcome the UFOs come to St. Paul, Alberta.
- [23:37]
Shannon (Co-host)
They put a pad of concrete out there.
- [23:39]
Kenny (Co-host)
Yeah, I'm looking at it. Fair enough.
- [23:40]
John (Co-host)
Is it.
- [23:41]
America 250 Announcer
Look.
- [23:41]
John (Co-host)
Is it impressive or is it just
- [23:42]
Matt Jones
a pad of coffee?
- [23:43]
Kenny (Co-host)
I probably would have made it bigger for UFOs. I don't know if UFO could land on that.
- [23:46]
John (Co-host)
That's the smallest thing that looks like a. That's. That's not even as big as the
- [23:49]
Matt Jones
KS Bar parking lot.
- [23:50]
Kenny (Co-host)
Yeah, I would have gone bigger.
- [23:52]
Matt Jones
Why can't we just call that a UFO welcoming? Looks like not using the space right now.
- [24:00]
Kenny (Co-host)
Looks like just a local stage. You'd go watch a concert on a Thursday.
- [24:03]
John (Co-host)
What are you going to visit that? What are you going to visit? Here's a piece of land.
- [24:06]
Kenny (Co-host)
Well, maybe you luck into a landing while you're there. Yeah.
- [24:10]
Shannon (Co-host)
Looks big enough for a saucer to fit on there.
- [24:14]
Kenny (Co-host)
How do they find it to land there?
- [24:16]
Matt Jones
Yeah, how do they know to land there?
- [24:18]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
That's a great point.
- [24:19]
Kenny (Co-host)
It looks just like an amphitheater.
- [24:20]
Matt Jones
All right. Bosnia Herzegovina.
- [24:23]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Yes. The former country of Yugoslavia. If you didn't.
- [24:26]
Matt Jones
Well, there's a lot of.
- [24:28]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Correct. Yeah, the ethic. Ethnically divided town of Mostar, as a symbol of Unity in 2005, built a statue of Bruce Lee. They say. They say Bruce represents justice, knowledge, honesty and good intentions and can fight against corruption, evil and ignorance.
- [24:47]
Matt Jones
I like that.
- [24:47]
John (Co-host)
So they had been through an ethnic
- [24:49]
Matt Jones
cleansing civil war between Serbia, the Croats, the Bosnia. They're trying to figure out how do we all come together? Bruce Lee.
- [25:01]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Yeah. And recently the statue was stolen.
- [25:04]
Kenny (Co-host)
Who steals a Bruce Lee statue?
- [25:06]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
But they did find the guy.
- [25:08]
Matt Jones
He was the guy with the Bruce Lee statue in his yard.
- [25:13]
John (Co-host)
What an interesting like. Okay, so let's say you wanted to
- [25:15]
Matt Jones
build a statue to unify America. Who you putting?
- [25:21]
Kenny (Co-host)
Kim Kardashian, Probably Dolly. Dolly or Bruce Lee.
- [25:25]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
I mean, Bruce Lee's not a bad.
- [25:27]
John (Co-host)
Who doesn't like Bruce Lee?
- [25:29]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Exactly.
- [25:30]
John (Co-host)
It's not bad.
- [25:31]
Kenny (Co-host)
It's pretty good.
- [25:32]
Matt Jones
Bosnia is where I ate that worm that was endangered.
- [25:35]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Oh, yeah, I'm forgetting this story.
- [25:39]
Caller Michael
What happened?
- [25:40]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Was that on the menu or you decided to eat?
- [25:41]
Matt Jones
They just told us, let's stop here.
- [25:43]
John (Co-host)
Our God was like, we need to
- [25:44]
Matt Jones
stop here and eat this food. You can't get it anywhere in the world but Bosnia. And we were like, okay, that's awesome. So we stop and it's like this little worm crawdaddy thing. And then after we eat it, he goes.
- [25:54]
John (Co-host)
I'm like, why can you only get that here?
- [25:55]
Matt Jones
And he goes, well, every otherwhere else it's an endangered species. And you. It's illegal.
- [26:01]
John (Co-host)
Told us that it wasn't even good.
- [26:04]
Kenny (Co-host)
Just took one out for no reason.
- [26:05]
John (Co-host)
I just wouldn't ate an endangered species just for the heck of it.
- [26:09]
Shannon (Co-host)
They had plenty of them there.
- [26:10]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Qatar hosted the 2022 World cup, if you remember. But it's an Islamic country, so there's no sports betting allowed. But professional camel racing is very.
- [26:21]
Matt Jones
I've seen this on television. I've seen professional cameras.
- [26:24]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
And there's a rule that they can't have jockeys. So many years ago, they instituted high tech robot jockeys that sit on the camels.
- [26:31]
Shannon (Co-host)
Oh, God.
- [26:32]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
That reach up to speeds of 40 mph. Since there's no betting allowed, they. They race for honor, pride and prestige.
- [26:38]
Matt Jones
They have robot camp robots racing on top of camels.
- [26:41]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Correct.
- [26:42]
Matt Jones
I. That's. I'm against. I've taken our jobs. All right. Finally, Switzerland.
- [26:47]
Kenny (Co-host)
It looks exactly like a robot on a camel. I mean, whatever you're picturing, you got it.
- [26:51]
Matt Jones
That's what it is. Switzerland.
- [26:54]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Switzerland may be neutral, but that doesn't mean nuclear war isn't coming. They have over 300,000 nuclear shelters in the country. That's one for every 27 people. Swiss law mandates every new building must include a nuclear shelter and guarantees that every citizen has access to one.
- [27:09]
Matt Jones
I've read that. Yes. Everywhere. They're. They're all over the place. And they're marked, too. When I've traveled, I've seen those. And they. Every. Switzerland's the only country that has. You are guaranteed by the constitution to be able to go into a nuclear shelter. All right, with those facts, who wins? Group B.
- [27:26]
Kenny (Co-host)
Very easy for me. Going with the landing pad in Canada.
- [27:30]
Matt Jones
Really?
- [27:30]
Kenny (Co-host)
Yeah.
- [27:31]
Matt Jones
Interesting. I'm.
- [27:32]
John (Co-host)
I'm going with the.
- [27:33]
Matt Jones
Listen, when the Armageddon comes, I'm going to Switzerland. Give me Switzerland.
- [27:38]
Shannon (Co-host)
Shannon, give me the AI Camel riders.
- [27:41]
Matt Jones
You're taking Qatar.
- [27:42]
Shannon (Co-host)
I'm taking Qatar. And home of Classy Ali, former ovw.
- [27:46]
Matt Jones
I do love Classy Ali. He's a great dude. We'll take a break. Be right back. KSI,

He'll make him pay.
- [27:57]
Shannon (Co-host)
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.
- [28:03]
Matt Jones
This is great summer radio.
- [28:05]
John (Co-host)
And I.
- [28:06]
Matt Jones
Even if this isn't your thing, I get it. But like, this is what we're doing.
- [28:10]
John (Co-host)
Kentucky, you did get three football commitments.
- [28:12]
Matt Jones
I'm happy. I don't know who they are. Got a big linebacker, got a big line. He's like four star.
- [28:17]
Shannon (Co-host)
I mean, starring a couple threes.
- [28:19]
Matt Jones
Here's the story. Will Stein's killing it.
- [28:21]
Kenny (Co-host)
He's definitely. I don't think he's done this week.
- [28:24]
Matt Jones
I mean, he's killing it. Like, he's. We're. We're going to have a top 20 recruiting class for real. Maybe top 15 and could be the highest ranked recruiting class we've ever had. So. Will Stein, by the way, I'm. We're gone next week. My hope is to have a football centric show where they can discuss all of this. I'm not the guy though. I could sit here and break down his. I don't know. I mean, I don't. I'm just going to be honest with you. Like, like we could fake it, but I don't know, so. But we got three commitments. That's what you really need. I mean, let's be real. None of y' all know who these people are, but let's like they're getting top level guys.
- [28:57]
Kenny (Co-host)
One was the top defensive lineman in the state. So a big takeaway is starting to get the state back. And they lost Seneca. Driver was number one. But they have a lot of the guys right behind.
- [29:04]
Matt Jones
They're killing the state outside of Malcolm. One person says, matt, Billy. Ask Billy to pronounce the war. The type of bomb that they're watching for. Say it again.
- [29:17]
Shannon (Co-host)
The what?
- [29:18]
Matt Jones
The type of what they use the shelter for.
- [29:21]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
The nuclear shelter. The atomic.
- [29:23]
Matt Jones
You say nuke. Nuclear. It's nuclear.
- [29:26]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Oh, okay.
- [29:27]
Matt Jones
So you say it like George W. Bush. He says nuclear.
- [29:30]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Watch me hit this drive.
- [29:33]
Matt Jones
One person goes, billy's killing these facts. When I'm watching the World Cup, I think I'm going to think about each of these things for the countries. I think you are like you're going to be watching. You're going to see South Korea like push a player out of the way. Shane, you're going to see from all the car pushing.
- [29:46]
Shannon (Co-host)
That's that aggression. That's right. I like Mexico.
- [29:49]
Matt Jones
The big crater guy. Miss a kick and they'll go, he's drunk. I don't know what's going to happen with Qatar and the robots. We're going to do. We got one more to do today. We'll be doing these all week. Let's go to fake Jamal. Go ahead, Fake Jamal.
- [30:06]
Caller Fake Jamel
Hello, gentlemen. How are you?
- [30:09]
Caller John
Good.
- [30:09]
Kenny (Co-host)
Let's fake Jamel.
- [30:10]
Matt Jones
Jamel. Okay, go ahead.
- [30:13]
Caller Fake Jamel
So I have a beef with all these people have been criticizing Mark Pope the last couple of weeks about how he's too nerdy to connect with the players in order to get them at Kentucky.
- [30:28]
Matt Jones
Well, that would make you mad because you're pretty nerdy.
- [30:32]
Caller Fake Jamel
I am very nerdy and I took that personally. So now that we've got, we've got this five star recruit and We've got the kids from Iowa State that wanted to go pro, and he's going to be a perfect fit for our system. I want to know, does. Does BBN really believe that Mark Pope is too nerdy?
- [30:51]
John (Co-host)
Well, he may be nerdy, but that doesn't mean nerdy can't be successful.
- [30:55]
Matt Jones
I mean, it's. I like, you're nerdy, but you're successful.
- [30:59]
John (Co-host)
Mark Pope can be nerdy and still be successful.
- [31:04]
Caller Fake Jamel
But my issue is this. I'm wondering if Mark Pope is not nerdy enough because he starts playing these guys, if he's going to start playing these guys in board games, is he going to lose and risk. Does he not know that Ukraine is strong?
- [31:23]
Matt Jones
I don't know what you're talking about. That's. That's enough. Thank you, Jamel. That's enough nerdy for that call.
- [31:31]
Kenny (Co-host)
Rod Hampton's dad said he liked that Pope had a plan with analytics, laid it all out.
- [31:35]
Matt Jones
What do you think? What do you think about Dark Pope, Shannon? He's growing a beard.
- [31:39]
Shannon (Co-host)
I saw that. Yeah. You think he'll lean in and just let it all grow?
- [31:43]
John (Co-host)
He looks like though, the kid that
- [31:45]
Matt Jones
can't fully grow a beard and just has sporadic hairs.
- [31:49]
Shannon (Co-host)
Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp. Look. Yeah.
- [31:51]
John (Co-host)
Do you like the idea of Dark Pope?
- [31:54]
Kenny (Co-host)
I love it. And you can kind of see he's. He's growing his. Buzzed the top of his head out, too. And his hairline isn't receding. Like he just chooses to be bald. I want him to grow his hair out.
- [32:03]
Matt Jones
I agree. Why would you be able to have that hairline at 52 or 53 and not grow your hair?
- [32:10]
Kenny (Co-host)
I think he shouldn't shave his beard or his head until he wins the championship.
- [32:13]
Matt Jones
He looked like Alan Cutler.
- [32:14]
Caller Michael
Yeah,
- [32:16]
Matt Jones
I like the beard. I think it makes him look tougher. I like year three being Dark Pope.
- [32:22]
Kenny (Co-host)
I like it, too. More beard here.
- [32:25]
Matt Jones
Let's go to John. Go ahead, John.
- [32:28]
Caller John
Hey, guys, how's it going today? Look, a couple quick things. I think Stein is killing it. They're looking at us being top five in the SEC recruiting for next year, which is amazing. Never happened as far as I can remember. I want to make a comment that on something you said earlier, Matt, about the mainstream media. It is on both sides, left, right in the middle, whatever. But here's the thing. News never reports, simply facts. It's all opinionated mumbo jumbo that they think you should just follow this line.
- [33:05]
Matt Jones
That is true.
- [33:06]
John (Co-host)
If you watch television. I will completely acknowledge that.
- [33:09]
Matt Jones
If you watch Television and television news. That is true.
- [33:14]
John (Co-host)
It is not true about print. Now, in many print, like take the New York Times, they have opinion columns. And yes, those are opinions, but they're news columns. I'm not saying they're 100. There's no way to be 100% like, not like you can't. There's no way to be a hunt.
- [33:35]
Matt Jones
But they're probably 90 to 95%.
- [33:37]
John (Co-host)
The Wall Street Journal is a right wing publication, but when they have a news story, I believe it because their news is news. So that's all I'm saying.
- [33:46]
Matt Jones
I agree with you.
- [33:47]
John (Co-host)
If you only watch television, they all give their opinions. And that is why I have stopped
- [33:52]
Matt Jones
watching television news and I haven't watched it in years for that reason.
- [33:57]
Caller John
Yeah, you and me both. The thing is, is people believe the opinion to actually be fact and they shouldn't do that.
- [34:05]
Matt Jones
You're right. You're exactly right. They shouldn't do that. And I appreciate the call. That's a fair point.
- [34:10]
John (Co-host)
But if you take people ask me all the time, what would you read
- [34:13]
Matt Jones
to know what's going on? If you were to every day and not everybody's got time to do this. If you were read the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, BBC, if
- [34:23]
John (Co-host)
you were to just read those three
- [34:25]
Matt Jones
things, I think you would have a really good idea of what's going on in the world.
- [34:29]
John (Co-host)
And over time, you'll learn to separate when they have little bits of opinion in. But you'll be educated in a way
- [34:36]
Matt Jones
rather than turning on TV and seeing something crazy. And then the Internet's even worse.
- [34:43]
Kenny (Co-host)
Oh, come on. Reddit's good to me.
- [34:44]
Matt Jones
Yeah. All right, let's go to group C.
- [34:47]
Kenny (Co-host)
Where do you want to start?
- [34:48]
Matt Jones
With Brazil.
- [34:49]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
This should be good in Brazil. Federal law allows Brazilian prisoners to reduce their prison sentence by up to four days per book read.
- [34:59]
Matt Jones
No way.
- [35:00]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
The inmate must read an approved book, write a report or essay on it, and then have that essay approved. They say using education as a way to reduce repeat offenders.
- [35:10]
Shannon (Co-host)
Wow, that would be out like a no time, dude.
- [35:13]
John (Co-host)
I could commit all the crap.
- [35:15]
Kenny (Co-host)
Do whatever you want.
- [35:17]
John (Co-host)
So here's my question. Would you all you non readers, what
- [35:21]
Matt Jones
should we read some?
- [35:22]
John (Co-host)
Shannon, you don't read. Would you read if it got you four days less of prison?
- [35:26]
Shannon (Co-host)
Listen, I used to read for a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut. Of course I read to get out of prison. Absolutely. He turned me into a reader real quick.
- [35:34]
Matt Jones
Wow.
- [35:35]
John (Co-host)
I kind of like that policy, actually
- [35:37]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
thinking we should implement it here.
- [35:39]
John (Co-host)
Well, I Don't know. I mean, there's some crimes.
- [35:41]
Matt Jones
I don't know that that's what you should do.
- [35:42]
John (Co-host)
But I think for like.
- [35:44]
Matt Jones
For, like, drug crimes or, you know.
- [35:48]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
So how many books you read a year?
- [35:50]
John (Co-host)
Last year, I read 50.
- [35:51]
Matt Jones
This year I'm going to read 60.
- [35:53]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
So you can get.
- [35:54]
Matt Jones
I could get almost a whole year off.
- [35:56]
Kenny (Co-host)
You would get out of, like, three life sentences.
- [35:58]
Matt Jones
Yeah.
- [35:59]
Stockton Mortgage Advertiser
Huh.
- [35:59]
John (Co-host)
That's a.
- [36:00]
Matt Jones
That's an interesting one. All right, Morocco.
- [36:02]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
I'm gonna take you back to December 20, 1777. What a great day when Morocco became the first nation in the world to officially recognize the United States as an independent country. In fact, the Moroccan American Treaty of Peace and friendship of 1786 is the longest unbroken treaty in United States history. You could say they were our first ally.
- [36:24]
Kenny (Co-host)
They're our first friends, actually.
- [36:25]
John (Co-host)
Very fascinating, because it would have been
- [36:27]
Matt Jones
very controversial in 1777 to recognize America. Britain was the great power of the world, and you would basically be recognizing a what, to them would be a rebel faction. Yeah, it would be.
- [36:44]
John (Co-host)
It would be as if, you know,
- [36:47]
Matt Jones
Puerto Rico disclaimed itself from the United States. And then would the rest of the world acknowledge that they'd be scared to make us mad.
- [36:55]
John (Co-host)
That would have been very hard for
- [36:56]
Matt Jones
Morocco to do in 1770.
- [36:58]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
At the time, they opened their ports to our ships and was a big reason why Morocco should be our good friend, really.
- [37:07]
Kenny (Co-host)
Maybe we never get recognized if Morocco doesn't go first.
- [37:10]
John (Co-host)
Another fact I didn't know. Billy is killing this.
- [37:14]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Well, I got my World cup hat
- [37:15]
Kenny (Co-host)
on, so it is a good hat. I was gonna compliment that.
- [37:17]
John (Co-host)
Haiti.
- [37:18]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Haiti's the poorest country in the western hemisphere.
- [37:21]
Matt Jones
I knew that.
- [37:22]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
But voodoo is an official recognized religion in Haiti. Haitian.
- [37:27]
Matt Jones
Good thing they don't play South Africa.
- [37:28]
Shannon (Co-host)
Yeah, I want to see.
- [37:32]
Matt Jones
No, no, they're not in the same group.
- [37:34]
Shannon (Co-host)
That's a shame.
- [37:35]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Haitian voodoo is not exactly like the movies or what you expect when you go to New Orleans. But it's based on ancestral spirits and patron saints.
- [37:42]
Matt Jones
That scares Mario. You can just see his face.
- [37:44]
Shannon (Co-host)
He's scared of voodoo.
- [37:45]
Matt Jones
He's very.
- [37:46]
Shannon (Co-host)
I want him to all come out looking like Papa Shango. The face paint.
- [37:50]
John (Co-host)
Haiti.
- [37:51]
Matt Jones
I will tell you the Haiti food.
- [37:54]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Good.
- [37:54]
Matt Jones
Oh, it's really good when I eat it. One in New York, and there was one here in Lexington.
- [37:59]
Kenny (Co-host)
I think it closed, but they gave us scowl, too. Scout was Haitian. That's right.
- [38:03]
John (Co-host)
I forgot.
- [38:04]
Matt Jones
All right, Finally, Scotland.
- [38:06]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
The unicorn is Scotland's national animal because. Because it symbolizes strength, bravery, Pride and independence. If you go back to medieval Europe mythology, Scottish kings use the unicorn on their coats of arms as a symbol that Scotland could not be conquered or tamed.
- [38:25]
Matt Jones
I don't like that though, as your symbol because it's not real. And you want. If I think you want a symbol that's like.
- [38:32]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Like Bruce Lee, well, you can't catch the unicorn, just like you can't tame.
- [38:35]
Matt Jones
But Scotland was overtaken for centuries.
- [38:39]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
I'm just telling you what. What was going on in medieval Europe.
- [38:43]
Matt Jones
Okay.
- [38:44]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
And how it originated.
- [38:45]
Matt Jones
So in this group, you have reading books in prison. First country to recognize America. Voodoo and the unicorn. Who's winning this group?
- [38:55]
Kenny (Co-host)
I've been to Scotland and love it. I didn't know about the unicorn thing, but I'm going to stick with them and I will have out a stuffed unicorn while I'm watching them play.
- [39:01]
Matt Jones
You'll get put out a unicorn.
- [39:03]
John (Co-host)
Yeah.
- [39:03]
Kenny (Co-host)
Maybe I might even wear a little unicorn T shirt.
- [39:05]
Matt Jones
All right, Shannon.
- [39:05]
Shannon (Co-host)
I'm to going in Brazil because there's a chance that they have somebody that was actually in prison on the team that read books to get out. And those are some tough guys in prison.
- [39:14]
John (Co-host)
Both tough and smart.
- [39:15]
Shannon (Co-host)
That's right. Tough and smart. Tough to beat. So give me Brazil.
- [39:18]
Matt Jones
I'm definitely taking Brazil.
- [39:19]
Shannon (Co-host)
Yeah.
- [39:20]
Matt Jones
If you're going to let me read to get out of getting in trouble. What a dream.
- [39:26]
Kenny (Co-host)
What if you can't read? Do audiobooks count?
- [39:31]
Matt Jones
Learn to read.
- [39:31]
Shannon (Co-host)
Literacy programs better be really hard essays
- [39:34]
Kenny (Co-host)
like you can't just skim through it.
- [39:36]
Matt Jones
Yeah.
- [39:36]
John (Co-host)
They got to be real books.
- [39:38]
Matt Jones
It can't be like Goodnight moon scratch
- [39:41]
Kenny (Co-host)
and you got to really prove that you read it.
- [39:45]
Matt Jones
I will volunteer to read the Brazilian book essays.
- [39:50]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
You're going to grade them and grade
- [39:51]
Kenny (Co-host)
them like you're at Georgetown four days off. Mario's going to have to watch them. Take the right.
- [39:57]
Matt Jones
The essays ABB and Spring is sprung. And that means you might be getting outside more. Whether it's doing yard work or staying active by biking or running.

John (Co-host)

Matt Jones
It's court.com experience the best in rehab at court. Billy, thank you. You'll be back tomorrow for more groups.
- [40:22]
Billy (World Cup Facts Expert)
Thank you.

Matt Jones
We'll take a break. Be right back.

- [43:13]
Matt Jones
Stockton Mortgage. All right. The Knicks tonight play the spurs, our Draft Kings pick. We will pick the game. Go to DraftKings.com use my promo code KSR for 20% off. The President's gonna be there. They're telling people to get there at least two hours early.
- [43:29]
John (Co-host)
They have put up a perimeter wall
- [43:30]
Matt Jones
around the arena and they have said no watch parties within two miles of the arena. That ain't gonna go well. No, no.
- [43:38]
Kenny (Co-host)
They love gathering out there for all these games.
- [43:40]
Matt Jones
I don't know why he's going to.
- [43:43]
Shannon (Co-host)
Do you think they'll let him in if he can't find his ticket?
- [43:49]
Matt Jones
That'd be an interesting thing. Honestly, I don't know why he wants to go. He's going to get booed like, he's in New York. They don't like him there.
- [43:57]
John (Co-host)
Like, I mean, now it's a rich
- [43:59]
Matt Jones
crowd, so maybe some people. But, like, why would he want to do that? I don't know.
- [44:03]
Kenny (Co-host)
I guess the Dolan, the next owner, invited him and.
- [44:05]
Matt Jones
Well, he can't sit courtside. He will get. But if he's up in it, like luxury box, then maybe they won't.
- [44:10]
Kenny (Co-host)
I can't imagine paying all that money for tickets. And then they're telling me I have to get there two hours early. To probably just sit in security lines.
- [44:16]
Matt Jones
God would be awful. It's hard enough getting into Madison Square Garden as it is. And then you.
- [44:21]
Shannon (Co-host)
You're in the finals, though, don't you want to be there as long as possible? Like soak it all, not two hours
- [44:26]
Kenny (Co-host)
before in a line for security.
- [44:28]
Shannon (Co-host)
Enjoy it.
- [44:29]
Kenny (Co-host)
I mean, I'm a Jack Dempsey's down the street.
- [44:31]
Shannon (Co-host)
Yeah, Nick's ever gonna be. I just.
- [44:32]
Matt Jones
I think it's a shame because they were having so much fun with all those parties that now, like, you know,
- [44:38]
Kenny (Co-host)
it's the best part. When the Knicks win, you immediately just pull up Twitter and wait for those videos to come out of them. Going crazy right outside the Garden.
- [44:43]
Matt Jones
Yeah, well, I mean, I hope it's not a bad. I don't know why he's doing that. I think that's a mistake. But, you know, there you go. Who's going to win?
- [44:53]
Kenny (Co-host)
I was surprised. The spreads like one and a half. I thought it might be a few more if they took two in San Antonio. So I'll take the Knicks.
- [45:00]
Matt Jones
I'm going to take the Spurs.
- [45:01]
Kenny (Co-host)
I think.
- [45:01]
Matt Jones
I think the Knicks will win game four. I think the Knicks will win the Series but the spurs aren't getting swept.
- [45:06]
John (Co-host)
Been both games in one and two
- [45:08]
Matt Jones
were basically toss ups. Right. The Knicks want them both. So I'm going to take the Spurs.
- [45:12]
Kenny (Co-host)
I think that atmosphere is going to be great.
- [45:14]
Shannon (Co-host)
I think it's going to be insane. You get all the celebrities there. You got the President there. I think the Knicks win this one. I don't think they do wonder though,
- [45:20]
John (Co-host)
is it not as crazy an atmosphere
- [45:22]
Matt Jones
because you have all those rich people, you know what I mean? Like if tickets are $8,000 to get in, it's not going to be your wild fan in there. It's going to be a lot of people who are there to be seen. Right. It's going to be more like, I
- [45:36]
John (Co-host)
mean, this will probably be the most
- [45:37]
Matt Jones
celebrity filled game since like Lakers games in the 80s. I mean when you say, yeah, they
- [45:44]
Kenny (Co-host)
probably won't be going as crazy as the lifelong Knicks fan that's been going to all of them.
- [45:48]
John (Co-host)
Yeah, I mean, I would think, like it's going to be a status symbol
- [45:53]
Matt Jones
for people just to be in the building, even if they're not really fans at all.
- [45:58]
Kenny (Co-host)
Yeah, there'll be plenty of celebrities that are just throwing on a knick shirt for the night just to be a part of it.
- [46:02]
Matt Jones
Be interesting to see.
- [46:03]
Kenny (Co-host)
You know, I got Carl for plus money at MVP right now. He's not the favorite with the way he's played in the wimpy matchup. It's still Brunson.
- [46:11]
Matt Jones
That's crazy though. If it was over today, he's he, I mean, absolutely.
- [46:14]
John (Co-host)
Brunson shot like 25% in the series.
- [46:17]
Kenny (Co-host)
Yeah, you can get him right at about plus Carl would.
- [46:19]
Matt Jones
Carl would win it if it was right now.
- [46:21]
Kenny (Co-host)
That's why I'm on it. I couldn't believe he wasn't the favorite after that.
- [46:24]
Matt Jones
Might be my draft Kings bed of the day. Go to DK DraftKings. Use my promo code KSR and get started. Matt, Go ahead, Matt.
- [46:33]

pointed in the right direction. Just see what you think.
- [46:45]
Caller John
Thank you.
- [46:46]

All right, well, I'll look at that after the show. Let's not make a habit of calling in to doubling down to check your messages.
- [46:54]
Kenny (Co-host)
To check my message, we check your email today.
- [46:56]
Matt Jones
Matt, who's next?
- [46:58]
Shannon (Co-host)
Michael.
- [46:59]
Matt Jones
Michael, go ahead, Michael.
- [47:02]
Caller Michael
Matt, thank you for taking my call. Yes, I want to give a quick shout out to two of my boys that I love. Grafton and Brandon, regular listeners.
- [47:11]
Kenny (Co-host)
And I've got a question.
- [47:13]
Caller Michael
Can you hear me?
- [47:15]
Matt Jones
Yes.
- [47:17]
Caller Michael
I've got a question for you about South Africa. But before I even go there, I want to say that I think reading books to reduce your prison sentence. I think that's a great idea.
- [47:26]
Matt Jones
I do too.
- [47:26]
John (Co-host)
See, maybe we can learn from the Billy's facts.
- [47:29]
Matt Jones
Taught me something. Even the Morocco thing is very cool. Like, who would have ever thought our
- [47:35]
John (Co-host)
first recognized ally would be Morocco?
- [47:38]
Matt Jones
But anyway, go ahead.
- [47:40]
Caller Michael
Well, and I also want to say that, you know, the unicorn comes up in the Bible about six or seven times. And I'm. I'm sort of of the idea that they either exist or did exist, but. But I wanted to clarify something about South Africa. Now I know that Putin from Russia has just recently made it a felony to practice Satanism, a mandatory eight year sentence. But what I heard, what I think I heard you guys say, and you can. You can help me.
- [48:13]
John (Co-host)
Okay, you gotta go quick, my man.
- [48:15]
Matt Jones
We're running out of time.
- [48:16]
John (Co-host)
Go.
- [48:16]
Caller Michael
Okay. All right. You said that witchcraft is illegal in South Africa. But then I thought I heard you say that it's against the law to accuse somebody of witchcraft, which is kind of two different things. And I just wanted to.
- [48:29]
Matt Jones
They're both according to Billy's facts. They're both true. And I appreciate the call. I'm not going to argue with Billy's facts. People were asking, where can you get your news that you can trust? In addition to the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and BBC, Billy, our sports news is. Is one of them. Let's go to Mark real quick. Mark.
- [48:50]
Kenny (Co-host)
Mark.
- [48:51]
Caller Michael
Hey, Matt.
- [48:51]
Caller/Listener
I have a. I have a unicorn thing too.
- [48:54]
Matt Jones
Basically, uni is one.
- [48:57]
Caller/Listener
Corn is old English for horn.
- [48:58]
Caller John
So it means one horn.
- [49:00]
Caller/Listener
If you look it up in an
- [49:01]
Matt Jones
1828 dictionary, it says it's a rhinoceros.
- [49:03]
Caller/Listener
Fun fact.
- [49:05]
Matt Jones
Well, there you go. But there are no rhinoceroses in Scotland, are there?
- [49:09]
Kenny (Co-host)
I don't think so.
- [49:10]
Matt Jones
Yeah.
- [49:11]
Kenny (Co-host)
What a run of calls to end the show.
- [49:13]
Matt Jones
It was quite a run. I will check my messages.
- [49:16]
Kenny (Co-host)
I'm proud of our World cup expert over here. He's great.
- [49:19]
Matt Jones
He did a good job.
- [49:19]
Kenny (Co-host)
Forward to more.
