Fourth of July coming big Supreme Court argument day.
Shannon
Oh, that's got me on pins and needles right now. Yes.
Ryan Lemond
Are you excited?
Matt Jones
I feel like you're excited about this.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Do you see the excitement in my face?
Ryan Lemond
But I mean, this is like there's
Matt Jones
gonna be some big decisions that's gonna
Ryan Lemond
happen during the show. I'll keep you up to date.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Well, I'll get the alerts on my phone.
Ryan Lemond
Well, I would think Billy could come
Matt Jones
in here, but I don't. I don't want to get his view of what the decisions are.
Shannon
Can we do live?
Ryan Lemond
I'll give you. If they need to be live, I'll say.
Matt Jones
Don't you get ahead of yourself.
Ryan Lemond
Ryan's way too excited about these Supreme Court opinions.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Calm down.
Ryan Lemond
If it's something I feel like you need, I'll sit, I'll share it with.
Shannon
I'm on pins and needles. Thank you.
Ryan Lemond
If you. If I don't think you need it, I'm just gonna let it go, move on.
Shannon
All right, Gotcha.
Ryan Lemond
You need to calm down.
Matt Jones
Monday it is.
Ryan Lemond
By the way, I noticed you're taking vacation next week.
Shannon
Yes.
Matt Jones
I mean, you've only been back for a few days.
Shannon
Well, yeah, I work. Worked three days last week, four days this week. I need a break.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
It's tough work.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
It's timeshare time, Right?
Shannon
It is timeshare time.
Matt Jones
You don't get to pick your witness
Shannon
when you sign my do what now?
Matt Jones
What is this? Vacation? Where are you going?
Shannon
Hilton Head.
Matt Jones
So this is the timeshare?
Lingokids Announcer
Yes.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
You got one week a year. You can't change it.
Ryan Lemond
So is that. Is that right?
Matt Jones
You get one week a year, Right?
Shannon
One week.
Ryan Lemond
And how many more years are you committed to this?
Shannon
Undetermined.
Ryan Lemond
No, it's determined.
Matt Jones
There's a contract.
Ryan Lemond
How long are you.
Matt Jones
How long?
Shannon
Well, to be honest, I'm not Sure.
Ryan Lemond
I'm not sure. Okay.
Parent
That's good.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
It's till death, actually. Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
Is it till death?
Shannon
It may be.
Ryan Lemond
Does it pass on to your children?
Shannon
Well, that's why I've got it. I'm kind of holding it for Gavin right now.
Ryan Lemond
We've talked about this.
Matt Jones
Don't give it to him.
Ryan Lemond
He doesn't want it. He doesn't want that commitment for the
Matt Jones
rest of his life.
Shannon
He definitely doesn't want it right now. Working the way he works.
Ryan Lemond
So he doesn't even go now. Never goes for him, even though he doesn't want. You're essentially holding debt for him.
Shannon
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
Hoping that he will take it over
Shannon
and using it every single year.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Don't do that.
Ryan Lemond
No, no, not.
Matt Jones
You're not using it every single year. You're paying for it every single year.
Shannon
You pay a. You know, a. What's it called? A maintenance fee.
Matt Jones
A fee.
Shannon
A maintenance fee.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
But they can change that at any time and you just have to pay whatever.
Ryan Lemond
Just. Just so I understand the economics of.
Shannon
Yes.
Matt Jones
When did you get this?
Shannon
Probably 2020 or 2021.
Ryan Lemond
So you got during COVID Yeah.
Matt Jones
You were bored?
Shannon
No, I didn't buy it.
Matt Jones
What did you do?
Shannon
My ex father in law kind of inherited it together, so he gave.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
He offloaded it on you.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
The gift that keeps on giving, boy.
Ryan Lemond
It does throughout eternity. All right, so your ex father in law gave it to you for Gavin.
Shannon
Gave it to Gavin. Gavin can't handle it right now, so I'm kind of just safeguarding it.
Ryan Lemond
So how much does it cost you
Matt Jones
a year, if you don't mind me.
Shannon
About a thousand.
Ryan Lemond
So pay you a thousand. You pay a thousand a year?
Shannon
990 something, I think.
Matt Jones
And you get to go stay there one week. And what else costs money?
Shannon
That's it? Well, when you get down there, you're gas to get down there and food.
Ryan Lemond
I know, but those are just living expenses.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
No fees, though?
Shannon
No, that's it.
Ryan Lemond
You have no fees?
Shannon
No, that's it. I pay almost a thousand a year and.
Ryan Lemond
Okay, well, now, that doesn't sound that bad.
Shannon
That's why I'm kind of hanging on to it right now. For a vacation in Hilton Head for
Ryan Lemond
a week, you just pay $1,000 a year?
Shannon
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
And there's no other cost? Are you sure about that?
Shannon
100% positive? No, I just probably jinx myself.
Ryan Lemond
Shannon, that doesn't sound right. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You said it's coming.
Matt Jones
What's coming?
Shannon
I'm afraid we're jinxing Myself right now. I'm probably gonna get a notice this afternoon, some massive maintenance fee or something. But.
Lingokids Announcer
So.
Ryan Lemond
Okay, so they can add a maintenance. So they can, like, say all of
Matt Jones
a sudden, now you owe us your
Shannon
share of, like, an assessment fee. Like, if they put new roofs on.
Tech Expert Caller
Yeah.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
If they decide to paint the building tomorrow, he's got to pay.
Matt Jones
He'll pay for it.
Shannon
But so far, nothing.
Ryan Lemond
But I mean, to be fair, like,
Matt Jones
a thousand dollars doesn't sound.
Shannon
Well, that's why I'm thinking about it right now.
Caller or Co-host
Yeah.
Shannon
And I'm not. I'm not worried about it right now.
Ryan Lemond
Something's.
Matt Jones
I need to read the fine print. They don't just give you one week in a year in a house.
Shannon
Now, here's.
Lingokids Announcer
Here's.
Shannon
Here's a good little hook. While we're talking about this. The Hilton Head week is so popular, you can trade it and get two weeks somewhere else.
Matt Jones
Like Barberville.
Shannon
Well, Barberville is very pretty in the fall. Maybe. Want to go see the leaves?
Caller
Okay.
Matt Jones
Well, Shannon, something's up with this. Yeah. Don't you agree? It's not just a thousand dollars.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
I think there's more to it than that. And, Ryan, if you ever want to get out of it, I know a guy. He's not an attorney, and don't even
Matt Jones
act like he's an attorney.
Ryan Lemond
He won't.
Spinquest Announcer
He's.
Matt Jones
He's not even contemplating being an attorney.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
But he can get you out of it.
Ryan Lemond
Here's what I need.
Matt Jones
I need somebody to look into this,
Ryan Lemond
because I do not believe that you
Matt Jones
just pay $1,000 a year for five
Shannon
years, and that's all I've paid so far.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
Okay.
Caller
You.
Shannon
I know. I just jinx myself. It's coming.
Matt Jones
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
Something's happening. I know something's happening. Who pays a property tax?
Shannon
Not me.
Ryan Lemond
Okay.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Time shares up to something.
Ryan Lemond
Is it just an apartment?
Shannon
It's like a little condo.
Matt Jones
So it's an apartment.
Shannon
Yeah. Like a little.
Matt Jones
The beach, they call apartments condos.
Shannon
Okay.
Matt Jones
Yeah.
Shannon
So you guys want to come down with me? One year, we got three beds.
Bretzky
That's.
Matt Jones
I think we're good. 85928 or 2287.
Ryan Lemond
I will say.
Matt Jones
I sat down last night to do this show, and I thought, man, you know, after a few weeks where there's been a lot going on, this. Was this a slow weekend? Like, really nothing is happening. So I. That's why I thought this would be good for the phones. 859-28-0-2287. If you have strong opinions, I'M also going to note the. The. The Mitch Barnhart era. I want to sort of have a conversation.
Ryan Lemond
We're going to look at the best
Matt Jones
and the worst of the Mitch Barnhart era. Because it ends tomorrow.
Shannon
Yes, it does.
Matt Jones
It ends tomorrow. Actually, I think it already ends. I think it's already ended. But, like, officially, paperwork ends tomorrow yet.
Ryan Lemond
Before we get to all that, though,
Matt Jones
I do want to say I'm still trying to learn how to use my house.
Shannon
Did your alarm go off this weekend?
Matt Jones
Didn't go off.
Ryan Lemond
Didn't go off. But there are little things. Yeah, like I don't know how to work my blinds.
Shannon
Yeah, we had trouble with that when we were there that day. You don't know, Shannon. It's confusing.
Ryan Lemond
No, Shannon, it's. It's. If they're electronic, you hit a button
Matt Jones
and they go up and down, man, you're bougie.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Electronic blinds.
Matt Jones
Well, I didn't put them there. Somebody else put them there.
Shannon
And they're blinds all over the house.
Matt Jones
And they're all over the house.
Ryan Lemond
And you get these little remotes, but I. But I think some of them, I guess you have to charge either the remote or the blind.
Matt Jones
And A, I don't know how to charge them. And B,
Ryan Lemond
well, I don't. They're like these little. So they're attached to the wall? They're attached. No, it's.
Matt Jones
My house is way smarter than me.
Ryan Lemond
They're attached to the wall. And I think you. I. I figured. I think you have to take the thing off the wall and charge it. But I don't know where to charge it. And the thing that it says to charge it on seems to have no plug, so I'm just lost. Are they operating? I keep calling for poor Bush Hampden's wife. Bush Hampden's wife's got to be like,
Matt Jones
come on, man, leave me alone.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Change their numbers.
Ryan Lemond
I'm like, okay, who do I call? So he gives me the. She gives me the name of the
Matt Jones
person who put him in. So now I gotta call that guy.
Ryan Lemond
And then this was the first weekend I actually went out to the pool. And I'm hoping to use the collective
Matt Jones
intelligence of this listening audience.
Ryan Lemond
What do you do? You know, somebody comes over, like, once
Matt Jones
a week to put some stuff.
Shannon
Check the chemicals.
Matt Jones
Yeah, I don't know what they do.
Shannon
Clean the pool, check the chemicals.
Matt Jones
They might do nothing. I don't know. He comes in and then he leaves.
Shannon
Pool boy.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
You got a little pool boy out there?
Ryan Lemond
No, he's not a boy.
Matt Jones
He's a man.
Shannon
Take his shirt off.
Ryan Lemond
No one takes their shirt off.
Matt Jones
You looking at him out the window?
Ryan Lemond
Everybody just calm down.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I guess you can't look at him out the window. Your blinds are stuck.
Ryan Lemond
Blinds are closed. I can't get them open. It's impossible. I can't look at anybody out the
Matt Jones
window because my blinds are closed. It's very dark in my house because of this.
Ryan Lemond
So, you know, and I go out in the pool and it's nice, like it's clear. That's working. But there are like these little bugs.
Shannon
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
Like these little gnat things. And I don't know what happens. They must be stupid because they just come in the water and die.
Caller
Yep.
Matt Jones
Why do they go in there?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Scoop them up.
Ryan Lemond
Why are they. You would think over time, evolution.
Matt Jones
They know John to just come die in the pool.
Ryan Lemond
So I know one of the things
Matt Jones
you can do is you get. What do you call it, a net, and you scoop them out. So I ordered a net on Amazon.
Ryan Lemond
So it's coming.
Matt Jones
It's coming today. I've got a net. I'm gonna start scooping.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Mario, we need video.
Shannon
That's what pool boy's supposed to do for you?
Ryan Lemond
Well, no, he comes once a week, but I think he comes on Fridays, but he couldn't come Friday because it was a rainstorm.
Shannon
So you need to be prepared.
Ryan Lemond
So I need to be able to do it until next Friday.
Tech Expert Caller
Yes.
Lingokids Announcer
Right.
Shannon
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
But how do you keep them from coming in there camp, man? Are they not like little citronellas?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
That's what you like.
Matt Jones
Candles.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
That's mosquitoes.
Ryan Lemond
There's nothing. It's 20, 26. There's nothing you can do about gnats.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I think this is owning a pool. You got to clean it out a lot.
Matt Jones
Yeah, there's.
Ryan Lemond
There's not anything like no one can stop.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I don't think you put up a.
Ryan Lemond
Gnats have outsmarted us as humans in the pool.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I don't think you can put up a sign like no gats allowed.
Ryan Lemond
Like a sneaky smell or something. Or peppermint. Yeah.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Maybe some lavender. I don't know. But no, I think I just pulled.
Ryan Lemond
Someone knows. What do you do to keep the
Matt Jones
little bugs from dying in your pool?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Cover your pool
Shannon
enclosure. You can't keep them out. You have to build a glass enclosure to keep the bugs out. You're going to get those.
Ryan Lemond
Then. How do you get in the pool?
Shannon
Well, it entrance from your house. Okay. But it keeps the pool, you know,
Ryan Lemond
have a little door I'm not building a building around my pool.
Shannon
That's the only way you're going to keep gnats and bugs.
Ryan Lemond
So you're saying the only way to do it is to put a. Just to make it an indoor.
Shannon
I don't believe it's not going to happen.
Ryan Lemond
I believe that there's a better way to do this.
Shannon
Do you not have the little, like, beetles that are getting in there this time of year?
Ryan Lemond
I don't know.
Matt Jones
They're just bugs. I'm not a botanist or whatever it is that looks at. What's With. Who looks at bugs? I guess botany's flowers. Who looks at bugs?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Not sure.
Matt Jones
Bug ologist. I don't know what kind of bug sounds like.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
You're looking at bugs in your pool.
Ryan Lemond
I am, and I want to get in the pool. And I got in the pool. But, like, I don't want to share it with bugs.
Matt Jones
We're not friends.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I think this is called being outdoors. You're just gonna have bugs.
Matt Jones
I am going to bet you there is something you can do.
Shannon
Boop boopy doo.
Matt Jones
To keep the bugs out.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
You know, when people talk about how hard it is to upkeep a pool, part of it is scooping out all the things.
Ryan Lemond
I'm willing to scoop.
Matt Jones
I'm willing to scoop.
Shannon
Now that you got a net, you can scoop every day.
Matt Jones
I'm gonna scoop.
Ryan Lemond
I've got my.
Matt Jones
And it's got a long.
Ryan Lemond
I had to. The pole came separately.
Matt Jones
Yes. It comes to that.
Ryan Lemond
But these are all things I'm having to. To learn because I didn't. I didn't know any of this.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
How are your air filters doing?
Matt Jones
I just got there. I feel like they're fine.
Caller
They're probably.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I bet Bush took a look at him while he was there.
Shannon
Can I go back to the. The dirty. The curtains.
Matt Jones
Yes. Blinds.
Shannon
The blinds. Drew. She left very, very organized bags.
Matt Jones
They're bags, but they're labeled.
Shannon
Every bag.
Ryan Lemond
I can't. But no one said how to charge it.
Shannon
Yeah, those little charging ports I know are in those bags.
Ryan Lemond
But the. How do you plug the ports in? The ports are just little round coasters.
Shannon
Do they have, like.
Ryan Lemond
I don't know. I don't know what. That. If I knew this, we wouldn't be talking about it.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
There's got to be a little spot to put a cord.
Ryan Lemond
There's no cord, I'm telling you.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
But is there a spot to put a cord in?
Ryan Lemond
I don't know. I don't know. There's some guy here named he's in my phone as blinds guy.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
So I'm going to go.
Matt Jones
Hello, is this blinds guy?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Sounds like you're off to a great start.
Ryan Lemond
No, it's great.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
It only gets worse from here. Wait till you have real problems.
Matt Jones
Like what?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Like last night my air conditioning went out and it was just.
Ryan Lemond
Well, we know hubby. Just call him.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I mean, you can't just call people at every. Every time something happens.
Matt Jones
I've been calling Bush Hammond's wife every time something happens.
Ryan Lemond
I'm like, bush, I'm out of bananas.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
It's gonna be six years from now.
Shannon
She's gonna have you blocked by the
Caller
end of the day.
Shannon
My God, stop calling me.
Matt Jones
I can't get my door unlocked. You know. Well, that's the way it goes.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
But this could be a documentary or a reality show.
Ryan Lemond
Well, listen, people, I read on On
Matt Jones
Bond that bridge and ladies of KSR and some of you even write me.
Ryan Lemond
I read the comments that are like, how can Matt be so smart and
Matt Jones
he can't do basic things? I'm just being honest with you.
Ryan Lemond
Like, I could hide all this. See, this is the thing.
Matt Jones
Like, everybody listening that so judgy about this stuff.
Ryan Lemond
There are things you don't know, like this Supreme Court opinions.
Matt Jones
I know about that.
Ryan Lemond
You all don't. My thing is I just don't know how to get the bugs away or open my blinds.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
At least you are being authentic on the radio.
Matt Jones
This is me airing out your.
Ryan Lemond
You know, this is me. I don't know.
Matt Jones
And I'm acknowledging I don't know.
Ryan Lemond
And that's the first step to fixing it, right?
Shannon
Yeah. And isn't it kind of fun going to learn home ownership? You should feel good about yourself. You learn about home ownership thing.
Ryan Lemond
That said, for a hundred doll, Lowe's Shannon will come to your house twice
Matt Jones
a year and like, do things like filters.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Well, then that's what you need.
Matt Jones
I'm probably gonna do that.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Seems like a bargain.
Ryan Lemond
And it seems like. Like it's.
Matt Jones
It's.
Ryan Lemond
There's got to be a lot of
Matt Jones
people like, come on, Matt.
Shannon
But I bet hubby's has the service. It does it?
Matt Jones
Yeah. I don't know. Hubby who?
Ryan Lemond
No, he'll do it with his air
Matt Jones
conditioning, but then everything else.
Shannon
Okay, he doesn't do bugs.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
He's just.
Matt Jones
Hubby's not a bug. He's hvac.
Shannon
Yeah. So I'm sure they can come to your house a couple times a year and change your fields.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
He was the bug spray guy for a while.
Ryan Lemond
I remember When Perrin had his bug spray.
Caller or Co-host
That's right.
Ryan Lemond
Parents in charge of bug spray for a while. He asked me to hook him up with the. I remember he, he one time looked at me.
Matt Jones
Seriously. Shannon goes, can you get me a meeting with Andy Bashir?
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Well, I was like, Andy's got bugs too.
Ryan Lemond
And I was like, no, but why? And he goes, I'm selling bug spray and I think I got what the state needs.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Yeah, just because you're the governor doesn't mean bugs.
Ryan Lemond
But what I said to him is like, I don't think. And Beshear is in charge of the bug spray. I bet they've delegated that, don't you think?
Matt Jones
Yeah, I don't think Andy Beshear sitting there going, all right, what bug spray we using this year?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
We got the secretary of insects. They handle it.
Matt Jones
859-280-2287. The text machine is 772-774-5254. We're going to take a break. We'll be right back.

welcome back Teche Sports Radio 859-280-2287. Text machine is 772-774-5254. One person writes Matt, I like when you talk about you in your house. It gives my buddies and I something to make fun of you about and I think it makes you seem more real. There you go. See? Gives them some. I'm glad I can like be a clown for you all to laugh at.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
It's gonna be great summer content.
Ryan Lemond
Perfect example though of how everyone has
Matt Jones
something they're good at.
Ryan Lemond
Right?
Matt Jones
Some of you all are much smarter than I am.
Child
Much.
Matt Jones
I mean I'm in the lowest percentile of basic TR like traits. Ability, life skills.
Ryan Lemond
Life skills.
Matt Jones
I would, I would have 10th percentile now legal opinions.
Ryan Lemond
I think 99th and we have three. There were three cases today.
Matt Jones
Would you like to know the. Would you like to know them?
Shannon
I cannot wait to hear this.
Matt Jones
Supreme Court said that states that count ballots after election day are allowed to keep doing that. That was controversial. The Trump administration wanted them to say if the ballots not counted by election day like a mail in ballot, it's illegal. Supreme Court 63 says no so including some of Trump appointees.
Ryan Lemond
So that's probably.
Matt Jones
That'll be bad for Trump or well it's not bad for him but that's he wanted to get rid of.
Shannon
That seems like the right decision.
Matt Jones
They made the second decision. This is a good one. Let me ask you all what you would do in this one, when people go to set.
Ryan Lemond
When the police go to cell phone
Matt Jones
companies to get, you know, when you use your cell phone, it'll ping where you are.
Shannon
Right?
Matt Jones
Right. The question was, do you. Is do you need a warrant to
Ryan Lemond
go get that or if the cell phone company agrees to give it to
Matt Jones
people, does the police not need a warrant? Do you think a police should need a warrant for. Now, let me give you the argument real quick.
Ryan Lemond
When you make a phone call somewhere, you're voluntarily giving the cell phone company.
Matt Jones
Shannon, think about it.
Ryan Lemond
You're getting it. You're telling them where I, where you are.
Shannon
Your location.
Ryan Lemond
You're giving them their. Your location.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Yep.
Matt Jones
So the question was, if the, if the police go to get that, should they need a search warrant or is it cool if the phone company just gives it to them?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I'm all in on needing a warrant.
Matt Jones
What do you think?
Shannon
Yeah, I think you got to have a warrant.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
What do you think?
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
You shouldn't just be allowed to give your information to anybody.
Matt Jones
Supreme Court says 6, 7, 2. You need a warrant.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Yeah, that's good.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
We're pretty much the Supreme Court.
Matt Jones
You're pretty good on this. You're two for two so far. Supreme Court said you need a warrant. And then third was. This one was boring. Do you know what the Federal Reserve is Actually, you might, Ryan, because you do interest rates. They're the people that set the interest rate.
Shannon
Correct.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
It's our banking system.
Matt Jones
Question was, can Trump fire someone from that without cause in the Supreme Court? 5, 4 says no, we cannot sound
Shannon
like they made three good decisions this morning.
Matt Jones
Well, I mean, that's, I guess, in the eye of the beholder, but true. So there you go. Those are your. That's your Supreme Court up.
Shannon
Very good.
Matt Jones
I still can't use my blinds, but I now know I could tell you those.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I mean, Ryan and I are right in line with the Supreme Court. I mean, we, we could really just
Matt Jones
take a seat with you. Honestly, it should be like you all.
Shannon
Yeah.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
And so far we're.
Ryan Lemond
So far, you're 33, right.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
What's next?
Matt Jones
Yeah, well, we'll find out. 859-280-2287. Still, nobody's giving me a great bug at bug answer.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Yeah. Because they're just going to be there and you're scooping up.
Shannon
There's nothing you can do about it, man.
Matt Jones
One person writes exterminator will help with bugs, but what are they going to do?
Shannon
Just not going to help with.
Matt Jones
They're not going to help in the Pool.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
They're already exterminated.
Shannon
Yeah, yeah, you do bring up a good point. Why do nats kind of dive bomb in a pool? Because I get.
Matt Jones
Well, they're stupid.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Cool off.
Shannon
Cool off.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Temperature, Go ahead.
Matt Jones
No one. No one.
Caller
Yep.
Lingokids Announcer
Hey, anytime.
Matt Jones
Anytime you're ready.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
No one.
Lingokids Announcer
All right. I'm here with the TCBC youth group. We're on our way to the beach. We go to church with Robert and Sir Elton. Church. And I got a question. Would you rather fight a goose sized bear or a bear sized goose?
Matt Jones
All right. I appreciate the call.
Ryan Lemond
Tate's Creek Presbyterian Church there.
Matt Jones
My friend Robert used to be the minister. A goose sized bear or a bear sized goose?
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
I think geese are meaner than a bear.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Sometimes is easy.
Bretzky
Yeah, yeah.
Ryan Lemond
You would fight. You would want to fight a goose sized bear, right?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Yes, absolutely. The bear size goose is actually terrifying because they're. They're evil. But what can I at least kick the tiny bear?
Ryan Lemond
But what can a goose. They can do.
Matt Jones
All they can use is bite you, right?
Lingokids Announcer
Yeah.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
They'll just come at you though. Fly and smack you with a wing.
Matt Jones
By the way my ducks went away,
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
it's because the gnats
Shannon
ran them off.
Ryan Lemond
Do ducks leave this time of year? Is that what happens to get mine
Shannon
in the spring and early summer, then they kind of move on.
Ryan Lemond
My mom named the goose Milan and then it left. And she was, she was genuinely sad when she came up
Matt Jones
Friday and she was very sad that goose was gone.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
You had this connection to him. You think you're gonna be a little alone.
Ryan Lemond
I named it right after Milan.
Matt Jones
And then it's gone. And how do I know when the other one comes back if it's the same one?
Shannon
It's true.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
You gotta tag them.
Bretzky
Yeah.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
Well, it would be kind of cool
Matt Jones
like if it was they had the radar to be able to come back to the same one next year, wouldn't it?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
They might remember it.
Ryan Lemond
You think they can feed them bread? Do you? Honestly? Because they're going south, right?
Matt Jones
Or do they go north? I guess they're going north and they'll come back.
Shannon
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
Do you think they come back to the same place? Are they that smart?
Shannon
I honestly think they know where the water source.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
They plug it in their GPS and they come right back.
Ryan Lemond
But I mean, I'm not the only water source. There's going to be tons of pools.
Shannon
But they know they had. He had good success at your pool.
Ryan Lemond
And you think they know that in the brain because they don't have gps?
Shannon
I think they've got like some radar sonar built in. They can find these places really, year after year after year.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Cat can run away, miles away from home and then come back and find the spot.
Ryan Lemond
But do you believe that? I always hear people say that. Or is it just they've walked everywhere
Matt Jones
and then they randomly end up back with you?
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
No, I think they know. They know how to get back.
Ryan Lemond
So how is it that cats and ducks are better at that than us?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I don't know. They. I assume they set up their nest and they have these. I mean, if I go back, if
Ryan Lemond
I gave you nothing and I dropped
Matt Jones
you in New Mexico and said, get back to your house.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Yeah, I call an Uber.
Lingokids Announcer
Could you.
Ryan Lemond
But let's say you couldn't ask for directions.
Matt Jones
I don't know if you could do that.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Could you?
Ryan Lemond
Do you think you could get back from New Mexico to your house, Ryan? Just no street signs, no people.
Shannon
I think it would be tough. You end up in some town with no directions where to go.
Ryan Lemond
I don't know that you could get back. You would have to use the sun,
Matt Jones
and I don't know how to do that.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Here comes our next challenge. Let's drop Ryan off in a desert
Lingokids Announcer
and see if he can find his
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
way back to Kentucky.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Look, I had to catch a groundhog, and they say to release it like 10 miles away. Otherwise it'll go right back to where it was. Really? Yep.
Matt Jones
So what'd you do?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Drove all the way across town to some woods and let it out.
Ryan Lemond
You had a groundhog like in your car?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
In my suv. Just open air. Me and the groundhog just drew in a groundhog? Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
When did this happen?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Last summer.
Matt Jones
I've had to do bring that up on the show.
Shannon
Squirrels do the same thing. Yeah.
Matt Jones
Wow. Who knew? All right, we'll be right back.
Parent
T.J. smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. he'll make him pay.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.
Matt Jones
Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. 859-280-2287 lot. All right, so here's some homemade remedies people are saying about the bugs. One person says, put tennis balls in your pool, it'll attract the bugs. Then you take the ball out, and the bugs are on the ball. That can't be. That doesn't sound correct.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Why would you make that up, though? If you're going to make up something that's. That's pretty elaborate, don't you think?
Caller
They.
Matt Jones
All the bugs will just be on the ball.
Shannon
I guess they start Drowning. They got to find something to hang on to. They hang on to that ball, turn over and.
Matt Jones
Because then they'd go right back in the water.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Is this like, Jack, that one just hanging off.
Matt Jones
Then somebody said, apple cider vinegar. So what do you do with that? You just put a big bucket of it out there?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Yeah. Probably pour a little bit around your pool. Do you have a lot of, like, landscaping near your pool? That probably adds to the book.
Matt Jones
No, that's true.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I think that peppermint.
Matt Jones
Then somebody says there are robots that you can put in your pool that'll eat them all.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
If you can't open your blinds with electronics. I don't know. You don't automatically.
Matt Jones
For you, the Robots. All right. 859-280-2287. I got. I wanted. Do you know there's a. Have you seen the video of the church here in Lexington?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I caught it. Caught a little glimpse of it, but
Matt Jones
just seen this video talking about Shannon. Have you seen it?
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
No.
Matt Jones
There's a church here in Lexington called. Let's see what the name of it is. Mount Pleasant. I'm sorry, I forgot my glasses. Mount Olive Church. I don't know where that is.
Shannon
I don't know either.
Matt Jones
See where it is. Look it up on your phone. See where Mount Olive is. They were having vacation Bible school. I loved going to Bible school. I loved vacation Bible school. Did you do vacation Bible churches? Multiple huge vacation Bible school fan. Because you do. You get together. You, you know, you'd have, like, a Bible lesson, but then you would get. You'd get snacks. You get to play outside, see your
Ryan Lemond
friends in the friends, but see new friends. Because sometimes people from different schools would come. I liked. And sometimes people from out of town who were visiting their grandma or something big time. So I guess they put on a
Matt Jones
play for the people at vacation Bible school. And Shannon, have you seen this video of what they did the play? So for. I've tried to gather as much of the context as I can from it, but it's gone very viral.
Ryan Lemond
It looks like the play was.
Matt Jones
Someone was coming in to. To kill the devil.
Ryan Lemond
All right, so there was a person
Matt Jones
that apparently was dressed as, like the devil, but in order to kill them, they brought in military people with, like, machine guns.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
I'm seeing it now.
Matt Jones
And some people, maybe most people think that in a room full of children having armed military walk in and act like they're shooting the devil with these machine guns maybe wasn't the best look
Shannon
for a vacation Bible schools play.
Matt Jones
So what do you Think.
Ryan Lemond
I mean, the message of killing the
Matt Jones
devil, that's a good message.
Ryan Lemond
But what do we think about the.
Matt Jones
Using these paramilitary to come in and take.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I think that's over. Over the top a little bit. I think we, like, recreated Noah's Ark and drew all the animals and put them on a boat.
Matt Jones
Like, that was our big event. We made paper mache.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I think we had a day where we made cookies. This seems way too extreme.
Ryan Lemond
What do you think about this? This is in Lexington.
Matt Jones
Mount Olive Vacation Bible School.
Shannon
I think they needed to probably maybe adjust their theme next year. I don't know if you want to have a theme with guns involved at Vacation Bible School.
Ryan Lemond
Who was playing those parts?
Matt Jones
The dads had to be.
Ryan Lemond
They were like, let's just act like
Shannon
maybe was the preacher and some people
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
in the church hire out. Hire some local militia or they could
Ryan Lemond
just hire a militia. Shannon, you see the video there?
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Yeah. So they dragged the body off and then there's.
Ryan Lemond
Oh, they dragged the body.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Oh, yeah.
Ryan Lemond
Oh, I didn't see. What's the devil's body?
Shannon
Yeah. Get rid of him.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
And there's something else in a costume, which I thought was the devil that's walking behind them with a gun in his hand.
Ryan Lemond
Oh, the devil has a gun, too, whatever that is.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Can you see that there?
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Matt Jones
What is that?
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
I don't know, but.
Ryan Lemond
Oh, my God, it looks like. No, I think the devil got. Had a gun too, and just lost.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
And then he gets up and walks off there.
Matt Jones
I don't know.
Ryan Lemond
Probably not what needed to be.
Matt Jones
You're very different than my vacation Bible school.
Shannon
We sang deep and wide.
Matt Jones
Yeah. Fountain growing deep and wide. Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
Where is it?
Shannon
It's over on the east side off Winchester Road, close to the Pasta Garage. Have you ever been over there?
Caller or Co-host
In that area?
Shannon
Just over there?
Ryan Lemond
So it's next to Pasta Garage, right around the corner, like Mirror Twin and all that.
Shannon
It's on Delaware Street?
Lingokids Announcer
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Wow. I wouldn't have thought that'd be there. 859-280-2287. Mitch, go ahead, Mitch.
Tech Expert Caller
All right, I'm gonna. I'm gonna help you out, Matt.
Matt Jones
Okay.
Tech Expert Caller
There is. There's two apps you can use Google or Bing. I work for Microsoft. Use Bing. It's better.
Lingokids Announcer
Wait a minute.
Matt Jones
Take a picture of your remote.
Ryan Lemond
Hold on just a second. Bing still exists. I didn't know that.
Tech Expert Caller
It's full of Microsoft's AI, which the core AI is the best AI. And don't be afraid of the AI. I know you're going to Freak out. But you can take a picture of your remote and say, how do I charge this? You can take a picture of the bugs and say, how do I get rid of these?
Lingokids Announcer
It'll help you.
Tech Expert Caller
Now I also have a special segment being that I'm very technical. My mother was a science teacher, Presidential award winning. My brother's a chef.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, I like that you gave me
Matt Jones
that information, but I don't need like a regular expertise. I like to talk.
Tech Expert Caller
I think you need a people you can call into and say, hey, we're going to reach out to this.
Ryan Lemond
No, we're good. We're good. I appreciate that. That's a good offer, but I appreciate it.
Matt Jones
But I do like. So you can take a pic. See, that's. That would be helpful if you could take a picture of something and say, how do I fix it?
Tech Expert Caller
I also wanted to say I appreciate
Ryan Lemond
Shannon didn't hear the.
Bluff
The cue.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I know you're very anti. But I've told you stories before. Like I fixed my fireplace by taking a picture and uploading it, saying, what do I do? And stuck things I would not have known to touch. It was teaching me how to do it.
Matt Jones
You can do that now?
Lingokids Announcer
Yeah.
Matt Jones
What you, what do you upload it to? Bing?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I didn't use Bing. I was a chat GPT guy on that one. Can I go back to the Bible school real quick?
Matt Jones
Yeah.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I'm watching the video. I expected young kids, but these are like young, young, young kids. Like, like not middle school, barely elementary school kids.
Ryan Lemond
But to be fair, like, it's awful to me.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
That's what I mean.
Ryan Lemond
It doesn't look like the kids are scared though. Are they just used to it? I mean, it's a normal thing every week.
Matt Jones
These are like children are little, little kids anyway. You think they do it?
Ryan Lemond
They do that every week at Mount Olive Baptist Church.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I think we had a reason.
Ryan Lemond
I thought kids would be terrified if that happened.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
They just march in in their fatigues
Ryan Lemond
with their wearing their fatigues.
Matt Jones
The devil has a gun.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
That's scary.
Shannon
They knew the good guys were going to win. Maybe.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
As if the devil wasn't bad enough. The devil with a gun.
Matt Jones
The devil with a gun.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
I thought he's just going to have like a pitchfork or something. He's walking in there with like a massive gun, like an assault weapon.
Matt Jones
Mount Olive, a Baptist church.
Ryan Lemond
Maybe somebody. I'm sure somebody listening goes there.
Matt Jones
Maybe you can help us understand it. 859-280-2287. Dave. Go ahead. Dave. Dave.
Caller
Hey, I was Calling in about longtime listeners. My favorites are, of course, men's basketball and then men's football. But I'd like to see more coverage of maybe the women's basketball team.
Ryan Lemond
Kenny, what would you like us to cover?
Matt Jones
You tell me.
Caller
Well, some of the player personnel stuff that we've done for the men, I'd like to see done maybe for the women. He's got. He's gotten several big time transfers.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, I just don't know anything about him. I mean, I don't know anything about him, to be honest with you. I mean, I haven't seen him play. So for me, when it comes just
Matt Jones
for my own sort of thing, like
Ryan Lemond
over the years I've kind of learned
Matt Jones
that unless it's men's basketball, like, like take men's football, just leave women's basketball out of it.
Ryan Lemond
We get commitments all the time. But I've learned that on radio, people like to read about that. But on radio, if I go, you
Matt Jones
know, he's 64 and he's 235 and he runs a 40 and he does this, people are just.
Ryan Lemond
They kind of zone out because they'd
Matt Jones
never seen this guy play.
Ryan Lemond
And I think it's kind of like that for most of the sports on radio. I think it's different when you can
Matt Jones
watch highlights or you can read about them. So that's kind of why I don't bring it up.
Ryan Lemond
With men's basketball, it's so few people that people tend to have watched them
Matt Jones
or watch their clips, which makes it easier for us to talk about it.
Ryan Lemond
So it's not that I'm not interested, it's just I don't really know how
Matt Jones
to make it interesting for radio.
Caller
I mean, I watch a lot of your digital content as well.
Matt Jones
And you do, but I don't think the average job.
Ryan Lemond
But you do, but I don't think
Matt Jones
the average listener does. And that's kind of what makes it hard. So I appreciate the call.
Ryan Lemond
It's not that I'm like, when they
Matt Jones
get here, I would like to know
Ryan Lemond
about them, but when they're coming from high school or transfer, it just makes
Matt Jones
it difficult, I think, to.
Ryan Lemond
I mean, the goal of this show
Matt Jones
is to produce interesting content and recruiting videos. I think there was a time that,
Ryan Lemond
that people were more into it, but it feels like that's kind of fallen off because they don't know if people
Matt Jones
are going to stay committed and all that.
Shannon
I will say this for the guy. The women's team is going to be really, really good.
Ryan Lemond
Mark Story Did a story.
Matt Jones
What's more likely the men's or women's team goes to the Final Four this year.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
They're loaded. Yeah, he had a great recruiting class, brought people back, had good portal class, got Amore's little sister. He got two top 20 freshmen and I think the other one's like 30th or something.
Matt Jones
So you think it is women? Is the answer to that question easily.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I think they're going to be very good. Now the SEC is always stacked, so it's tough conference, but I mean he loaded up this offseason.
Ryan Lemond
Do you think we're to the point
Matt Jones
that the gap between Kentucky women and the title holder is less than Kentucky men and the title holder? Maybe this year might be this year?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Yeah. I mean women, the women's conference is so much harder than the men, especially this year.
Matt Jones
I know our seeds in the SEC tournament have been better in our women's than the men the last two or three years. Yeah, I mean I don't want to skip up but like the last two
Ryan Lemond
years I think we've been seated higher
Matt Jones
in the women's tournament than the men's tournament.
Shannon
Definitely last year.
Matt Jones
Yeah. Fourth of July, try the new 1776 sauce from Red State Barbecue created in honor of America's 250th birthday.

Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Hello. Mle Cruz. Shout out the devil. Maybe.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Yeah.
Lingokids Announcer
Wow.
Matt Jones
859-280227. All right, listen.
Ryan Lemond
One of the things we do every
Matt Jones
year and it's always one of our
Ryan Lemond
most popular shows, we're going to do
Matt Jones
Wednesday unpopular opinion day. All right, all of you out there that have an opinion about UK sports or the state of Kentucky or just
Ryan Lemond
life that you have that I would say is in the 10 to 15% of unpopular opinions like the, the, the,
Matt Jones
the general, no politics.
Ryan Lemond
The general view is everybody thinks this, but I want to say the opposite. I especially like it if it's about,
Matt Jones
about UK sports or the state of Kentucky, but it can be about anything. We've done these over the years. I want you guys to think of yours. You can't bring up a late again Ryan like you do every year. You got Swift or Tay, Taylor Swift,
Ryan Lemond
but even that one like not liking Taylor Swift.
Matt Jones
There's a lot of people don't like Taylor Swift.
Ryan Lemond
I want one that you have that's genuinely unpopular.
Shannon
Okay.
Ryan Lemond
And then you have the freedom for
Matt Jones
two hours to say it. We will do that on Wednesday. Drew.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Last year Obama copied mine. I said it on this show and a week later he said it. Interviewed. Remember I said you're a child if you use ketchup. A week later, Obama said an interview. So he was listening.
Matt Jones
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
So think about those.
Matt Jones
You've got till Wednesday to put them out. Unpopular opinion.
Shannon
This show usually gets me in trouble a little bit.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Because you take ones that are like, I don't like my neighbor.
Shannon
Well, I said something about Keeneland one time and I got roasted.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Oh.
Ryan Lemond
The thing is, though, that's. That's one that I will take up for. That's exactly what it's for.
Shannon
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
Is you can say something about Keeneland
Matt Jones
and we're not going to roast you for it.
Ryan Lemond
We'll say we disagree, but, like, you should be able to say, agreed.
Matt Jones
That you don't like Keeneland.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
You're supposed to work people up because you're going against the majority.
Parent
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
Because if the majority agreed with you,
Matt Jones
it would not be an unpopular opinion.
Shannon
Well, I heard from several people after I said I didn't really like going out to Keeneland.
Matt Jones
For instance, opinion I gave a couple weeks ago, Shannon, where I said, oh, Canada was better than our national anthem.
Tech Expert Caller
Huh?
Shannon
It's a good one.
Matt Jones
Perfect example, Shannon, of an unpopular opinion
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
that's very unpopular because I even disagree with you on that one.
Matt Jones
But you should have seen Commie.
Ryan Lemond
I had a guy, I responded last
Matt Jones
night to a guy on the text machine. He'd written something, and I responded a couple times, and he goes, this is all AI. And I said, well, what do you mean? He thought my comments back to him
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
talking to a bot.
Ryan Lemond
And I didn't know whether that was a compliment or not.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Like, the text machine is just some automated bot.
Ryan Lemond
You think I got enough technological ability
Matt Jones
to create an automated bot? I can't do that.
Ryan Lemond
Are we getting now are we back to getting this Nicola kid again?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I mean, it was. It seemed to be completely done. And Kentucky had thrown in the towel until the Dusty May news. And if it's Kentucky versus Mick Cronin, I mean, I know there's UCLA ties with him. I think there's an assistant with international background.
Ryan Lemond
So the story is it'll be Kentucky or ucla. Jack Pilgrim says he thinks UCLA still
Matt Jones
leads, but Kentucky has a chance. But Trilly Donovan thinks Kentucky is the leader with UCLA having a chance. So we kind of have dual sources.
Ryan Lemond
The Trilly Donovan guy admitted what we've
Matt Jones
said, which is that the Pope people talk to no one. So it's hard to know he's had his.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
His misses are mostly Kentucky.
Ryan Lemond
His misses are mostly Kentucky because Mark Pope and those guys, for better or worse, they don't say anything. I kind of think that's a mistake. But you know what? If you get players, it won't matter. But either way, this kid, this 17 year old Serbian who people think could be awesome, potentially a top 10 pick in the draft, we might end up
Matt Jones
with another player next year.
Shannon
And if I understand he. He'd be a two year player because he's too young into the draft player
Matt Jones
because of the age requirement. Well, I mean be a two year play doesn't mean he has to be a two year player here. He could always transfer. Yeah, but he's a two year college player.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
You'd almost look at him like a five star recruit in the next class that you. Even though he's on the roster, I don't know how good he'd be right away, but the following year he'd be one of the studs.
Matt Jones
So it's exciting, right?
Lingokids Announcer
Yeah.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I mean really, I don't know. The kid never even been to Serbia. But if you have in front of me Mick Cronin or anything else I
Ryan Lemond
am taking anything else I think is Mick Cronin the.
Matt Jones
Who's the least likable coach in college basketball today? Mick Cronin has to be in the conversation.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Danny Hurley's probably Hurley
Ryan Lemond
because some people like it. I mean like he makes you mad.
Matt Jones
He. We had a conversation on. It's the news on Matt Jones on. Interrupted by Matt Jones about how no one likes Alexi Lawless. And we were talking about who are the announcers that no one likes? Like in the history of college sports. Or in the history of sports. Yeah, like think about it.
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
Who.
Ryan Lemond
Who are the. Who are the announcers that have been
Matt Jones
announcing games that you can find? No one who likes. To me, the king is Billy Pack. No doubt no one liked Billy Packer.
Ryan Lemond
Like Dick Vital.
Matt Jones
Some people.
Shannon
Sure.
Ryan Lemond
We were talking about that is feels like Mick Cronin. Is that for college basketball?
Matt Jones
Because people do like Danny Hurley.
Ryan Lemond
But who likes Mick Cronin?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Seems anytime he pops up, he's crying about something.
Ryan Lemond
Can you think of any other coach that is universally disliked? There are coaches that are disliked, like Todd golden, like Danny Hurley, like Rick Patino, like Cal. But there are also people that like them. Who likes Mick Cronin?
Shannon
I don't know of anyone that said
Caller or Co-host (possibly Shannon)
something good about UCLA fans.
iHeart Announcer
Maybe.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
I don't know if they do.
Ryan Lemond
I don't know if they do either, but there's no one out there. You going?
Matt Jones
You know, seems like an awesome dude. So maybe we'll get him.
Caller
Ed.
Matt Jones
Go ahead, Ed.
Lingokids Announcer
Yeah, I just. Excuse me.
Bluff
Okay.
Matt Jones
Yeah. You need a cough drop?
Lingokids Announcer
No, I was about to doze off. I just.
Matt Jones
Well, that Sounds good.
Ryan Lemond
Well, it sounds like you're really enjoying
Matt Jones
the show today, Ed, but go ahead.
Lingokids Announcer
Well, it got a little boring with Mick Cronin. I just wanna. I just wanted to let you know there. There's. There's certain things you can do to stop them bugs from flying into your pool.
Matt Jones
Okay, give me one.
Lingokids Announcer
But this. Well, one way is get a bug light.
Matt Jones
And what does that mean?
Lingokids Announcer
I don't know. Well, if you've ever noticed on your porch light, if you leave it on.
Matt Jones
Yeah. Bugs go around it.
Lingokids Announcer
Yeah, that's right. Okay. Bugs fly into the water. Because of the reflection off the water, bugs fly into the light.
Matt Jones
So just put a light up and it'll just fly into that instead.
Lingokids Announcer
Wait a minute, Matt. Get a bug light, but make sure that bug light is far enough away from your water that the bugs don't drop off in the water.
Matt Jones
Oh, when they're dead. Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
Okay.
Lingokids Announcer
Okay. Now that's. That's for another night. That's for the night time. For the daytime. The only thing you can do other than build a glass walls around it is get you a 8 foot or paddling or. And stand out there in water and beat the hell out of it.
Matt Jones
It's gotta be an ore. That's our call today. I don't know if that's science, but you just.
Ryan Lemond
So you just think I should just stand in the water all day and
Matt Jones
just beat the hell out of it?
Lingokids Announcer
Beat the hell out of it, Matt.
Matt Jones
Thank you. I appreciate the call.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Ed, are you beating the water to make it choppy or are you beating the bugs?
Matt Jones
First of all, I have a job.
Shannon
Now you got another job
Matt Jones
there with an or.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
You know who could? Bush Hammond's wife.
Matt Jones
Caller, I can't. What's the amount of time I have to stop calling?
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
Two weeks ago.
Matt Jones
That time has passed.
Co-host or Caller (possibly Drew)
When they closed on the house and
Matt Jones
handed you the key, I had to stop calling. Well, she's very nice. I will say she's been very, very nice. 859-280-2287. We'll take a break. Come back hour number two.
