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.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back Techy Sports Radio. 859-280-2287. The text machine is 772-774-5254. By the way, a lot of people tell me, don't get a bug zapper because you kill good bugs. I didn't know there were good bugs. Apparently there are bugs that like eat

[Shannon Dawson]

those gnats you're talking about.

[Matt Jones]

They're not doing a very good job. We need more of the good bugs. But like, good for your flowers and. Yeah, see, I don't know this. Where do you, where do you learn bug stuff? Like, I understand there are things like Larry tried to teach me a lot of this stuff and I just was like, I want to watch sports.

[Caller Joe]

So.

[Mario]

But now it is.

[Matt Jones]

It's all coming back. That's exactly right. You know what I mean? It's like if you didn't learn about computers and then all of a sudden you can't operate anything. That's me. I didn't. He always tried. He'd be like, look, let's go do the. And I go, I don't know.

[Ryan Lemond]

You were at home making brackets, watching March Madness and reading books.

[Matt Jones]

But where do you learn about bugs?

[Ryan Lemond]

It's a good question. I don't remember a lot of bug schooling when we were growing up. It might have been like a class or two.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. But we don't do like we do with bugs what we wouldn't do with anybody else. We just lump them all into one word. True.

[Shannon Dawson]

They're all just bugs.

[Matt Jones]

They're all just bugs. Couple things. All right, first of all, just everyone will understand what this means over the next 48 hours. But I just want to say KSR is continuing 10 to noon with me hosting. Continuing for the next however long few years. So I just want to make sure as you know, there'll be some stuff probably you'll hear this week, but it will not affect KSR 10 to 12. And we're very excited about that.

[Ryan Lemond]

How long is a few years just

[Shannon Dawson]

so Ron and I can, you know, plan financially.

[Matt Jones]

We're talking like, okay, listen, I'm not responsible for your retirement.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yes, you are. Yes, you are.

[Ryan Lemond]

But that's good news.

[Matt Jones]

That is good news. We ain't going anywhere and we're. It's going to be 10 to 12. There was some, you know, there were people worried that whatever. It's going to be 10 to 12. So that's good news. And just keep that in mind over the course of the next week.

[Shannon Dawson]

It's great. Listing habits already designed.

[Matt Jones]

Habits are situated.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yep.

[Ryan Lemond]

In the noon sleep schedules right where we need them.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Everybody knows. And that. And includes the pre show from 9 to 10.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Continuing to go. So. So I just wanted to make sure everybody. Everybody knew that the news is that

[Ryan Lemond]

there's not news regarding ksr.

[Matt Jones]

When it comes to ksr, there's no news. That's exactly right. And Cover Zero restarts today as well. Excited today. So in the NFL came and said we want you to start doing Cover zero weekly again.

[Mario]

Yeah. Well what's there to cover right now?

[Matt Jones]

That's a great question. For an hour you might. I don't.

[Ryan Lemond]

I've accepted. No one wants to hear our NFL opinions.

[Matt Jones]

They want us to get no ide what. What what there is to. But we're going to figure it out. Billy got charged with the assignment of giving the news.

[Ryan Lemond]

The good thing is there's been such a gap since the last show. There have been some major topics but you know, as we get further into the summer before it starts to get

[Matt Jones]

a little difficult, coaches that are very unlikable. Will Wade.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Anybody like Will Wade?

[Shannon Dawson]

I haven't heard anybody say anything good about Will Wade.

[Matt Jones]

That's a good one.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, that's a real good one. He may be second behind the only two.

[Matt Jones]

Because I feel like you can find advocates for all the other coaches.

[Shannon Dawson]

We mentioned Todd Golden. He was one I was going to bring up.

[Ryan Lemond]

I like Todd Golden. Right here. There' at the table that likes Todd Golden.

[Matt Jones]

There you go.

[Shannon Dawson]

I do not.

[Lingokids Advertiser]

Why?

[Matt Jones]

Just because he's a snot?

[Shannon Dawson]

No. Snotty head.

[Matt Jones]

But let me ask you this. If we brought him to coach Kentucky, would you like him?

[Shannon Dawson]

I'll be right behind him all the way.

[Matt Jones]

But if we brought Will Wade, I don't know if you would. If we brought Mick Cronin, I don't know if you would.

[Mario]

Cronin would come in here and you'd

[Matt Jones]

be Mick, I love you. First of all, that's not the voice I would use. I would not go. I would not do that.

[Mario]

You hated Cal then you were best friends with him.

[Matt Jones]

I didn't hate Cal. I just thought he cheated.

[Caller/Listener]

Ok.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Mario]

You called him a cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater, and then you were best friends.

[Matt Jones]

Vic Cronin just seems like a jerk, doesn't he?

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah. Too many stories out there about it.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Mario]

I mean, in person then he's a great guy. And you love him.

[Matt Jones]

He's so short, too.

[Mario]

Yeah.

[Shannon Dawson]

Nothing wrong with short guys.

[Matt Jones]

All right, fair enough.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I. I don't think I would necessarily be a fan. Can we talk about Phil Mickelson first?

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, my goodness. Phil.

[Caller/Listener]

Wow.

[Matt Jones]

So I've said this a bunch over the last few years.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah. Yep.

[Matt Jones]

He could have been Arnold Palmer. He could have been beloved for the rest of his life.

[Shannon Dawson]

Agreed.

[Matt Jones]

He could have been sitting there on Master Sunday in the booth.

[iHeart Advertiser]

Right.

[Mario]

He would.

[Matt Jones]

He could have been golf's Charles Barkley. Arnold, like you picked the thing. Phil, could have been it.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yes.

[Ryan Lemond]

Hitting those ceremonial tee shots before big tournaments. He would have been doing it all.

[Matt Jones]

He could have been like Tigers. The problematic one. I'm the good guy. I've always suspected he wasn't a good guy, but like, people believe that for a long, long time.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

He would turn on that charm at

[Matt Jones]

events to the thumbs up smile and he would give the thumbs up and

[Shannon Dawson]

the all shucks kind of attitude.

[Matt Jones]

Then that story comes out Friday. There are many crazy parts of it, but let me give you the two that stick out the most. To me, he's been kicked out of not one, not two, but Shannon. Three golf clubs for inappropriate behavior.

[Mario]

That's a trend.

[Spinquest Advertiser]

Three.

[Shannon Dawson]

Wasn't he the pro at these?

[Matt Jones]

Well, like, ceremonial pro.

[Shannon Dawson]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

But to be kicked out of three, do you know how bad he must be to kicked out of three, you are the most, like, second most famous golfer in the world. For them to kick you out, they must really want you gone. And three different places did it for three different incidents.

[Ryan Lemond]

Drew clubs would love to have a golfer like Phil be a part of their club to bring other people in and just be there on the grounds, you know, help your standing.

[Matt Jones]

Have you ever heard of any pro ever getting kicked out of any club?

[Ryan Lemond]

No. And I would think you got to be pretty bad to get kicked out of a country club. They usually protect their own.

[Shannon Dawson]

Just one.

[Matt Jones]

One hit three for three different things. Shannon, that's got to be the worst behavior of all time, right?

[Mario]

I don't know of any other golfer that's been kicked out of three clubs.

[Matt Jones]

You would think also after two, you'd go, okay, if I'm going to this one, let me just bring it down a notch. Maybe it's me. Maybe. You know what? Maybe it's me. But the p. But the thing that I will be 90, and I will. If I still have a memory, I'm going to remember the. About what he did with the player's life. Did you read this?

[Shannon Dawson]

I didn't read it.

[Mario]

Yeah, I saw it.

[Matt Jones]

So Pat Perez is a pro golfer. He has a wife named Ashley. She herself is a character. Okay. She was big on social media, but let's put that to the side, because no one disputes apparently, what happened. Apparently, he even acknowledges he did this. Pat Perez is visiting Phil Mickelson's house and staying with him. Him with his wife.

[Shannon Dawson]

Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

Right.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

So this can happen. Phil goes to. Excuse me. Pat Perez goes to the bathroom. Phil goes up to his wife, shows him. Her a picture of him standing up naked, flexing fully, whatever, and says, if you want, meet me in my room after Pat goes to bed.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm gonna leave my door open for

[Matt Jones]

when I leave my door open.

[Ryan Lemond]

I. I'll add, Pat and Phil grew up together in San Diego. It's not like a random golfer. They've known each other most of the

[Matt Jones]

time in his house.

[Shannon Dawson]

They're your house.

[Matt Jones]

First of all, who takes that picture? Shannon?

[Mario]

It's a good question.

[Matt Jones]

He's standing there completely naked, flexing.

[Shannon Dawson]

Oh, gosh.

[Matt Jones]

When? All with the glory, glord.

[Ryan Lemond]

And this is around the timeline when Phil wasn't in the best shape either.

[Matt Jones]

By the way, who did he get to take that picture? I mean, Mario will take pictures, but if Ryan goes up to him and goes, mario, I've got a photo shoot I want to do. Mario, you taking that picture. You're not taking that picture.

[Mario]

It's negotiable.

[Matt Jones]

And then he shows it to the wife.

[Ryan Lemond]

He was, like, feeding him wine, too, to try to get Pat to, you know, go to bed and pass out.

[Matt Jones]

Now, the wife apparently tells. She says she tells the husband, the

[Ryan Lemond]

next week, they were at a tournament, and she wanted the tournament to finish so her husband wouldn't be distracted.

[Mario]

I need to know immediately, as soon

[Shannon Dawson]

as he comes out of the bathroom.

[Matt Jones]

Are you, like, just getting up and leaving the house?

[Caller/Listener]

Yes.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yes. First of all, I'm punching Phil in the face. Then I'm packing my stuff and getting out.

[Mario]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

I just. I mean, look, there are worse people who do worse things. I'm not trying, but I. Those are two stories that, like, kitten kicked out of three country clubs and then naked flexing with your friend's wife in your house. Like, what? Sleaze. Ball behavior. Right.

[Spinquest Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

And it. Even when Phil apologized on down the road, he wouldn't even admit to that. He did it all. He's like, I did that. He played dumb. Like, he didn't remember.

[Matt Jones]

He said he was too drunk to remember doing it. Okay, come on now.

[Ryan Lemond]

Sure.

[Shannon Dawson]

He was planning on doing that all night long.

[Ryan Lemond]

He moved them from one property to his to, like, set up the moment they were staying.

[Matt Jones]

So let me ask you. He can't ever play again, right? Like, he can't. He can't go on tour, Shannon, with that story out there, People will just walk around and flex in front of him.

[Shannon Dawson]

Gonna follow him now the rest of his life. He can't do media. He can't do corporate sponsorship, anything.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, he. He's just done. Right.

[Caller Joe]

You.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, who could trust a guy like that?

[iHeart Advertiser]

Tiger.

[Matt Jones]

This is much worse than Tiger.

[Caller Joe]

Yeah.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Tiger cheated on his wife. That's bad. But unfortunately, many people have cheated on their wife. This is different.

[Shannon Dawson]

Like sexual harassment, sexual deviated behavior.

[Ryan Lemond]

Someone you've known your whole life.

[Billy]

Friend.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, that's the thing. If I just all of a sudden am like, look, Abby. Abby would flex him by the right way. Right? Now look at.

[Ryan Lemond]

I don't think that flex would work. Is Mario taking that photo?

[Matt Jones]

Mario, we took this last week in front of the bugs. Like, I don't know, man. That's just.

[Shannon Dawson]

He was kind of the golden boy for a while in golf. That's why this fall from grace seems to hit a little more than Tigers.

[Ryan Lemond]

He's always been like this and just done a good job.

[Matt Jones]

You remember years ago when he won the Masters and Jim Nance called it do you remember what? Do you remember that story?

[Shannon Dawson]

No.

[Matt Jones]

Tiger had just gotten in his trouble. And when Phil hit the putt to win the Masters, Jim Nance said, that's a win for the family.

[Shannon Dawson]

Oh, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

And I remember I said on this show, dude, you can't say stuff you don't know.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

And 10 years later, I think it looked like I was correct.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

You can't just, like, you don't know if he was for the family, and clearly he was not.

[Ryan Lemond]

Also, Phil's been married a long time. His wife has cancer.

[Matt Jones]

Like, his cancer.

[Ryan Lemond]

He's been cheating on her since she's been going through cancer battles.

[Matt Jones]

Cancer. He has. Daughter has a health problem right now.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, he's done. He pulled out of the Open coming up. It's the first time he's missed it in forever.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I don't think we'll see.

[Shannon Dawson]

How can he ever golf again?

[Matt Jones]

I don't know how. Three golf clubs.

[Ryan Lemond]

What about the story of him paying the guy to drive around the golf?

[Matt Jones]

Okay, that. Oh, yeah, that's the other story. Sorry, I forgot about that.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, I gotta get to that.

[Matt Jones]

He was cheating on his wife. And his wife became so certain he was cheating that she put tracking on his phone, made him agree, so that she could always see where he was. Because Shannon, that's how much she knew he was cheating on her. Do you know what he did? He would go to the golf course and he would hire a golf cart boy to drive around the course for four hours and act like he was playing so he could go hook up with a woman.

[Mario]

Wow.

[Ryan Lemond]

Paid him $500.

[Matt Jones]

Pay him $500 to just drive the course at the pace you would drive if you were playing Gone. With his phone stuck with his phone in the cart so that Shannon, he could go away for four hours and hook up with somebody.

[Mario]

I mean, he's really put some thought into this. Hiring somebody just to do that.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, like, he's doing spy stuff just to cheat on his wife.

[Mario]

Yeah, this.

[Ryan Lemond]

Then all the insider trading stuff he was involved in. He just seems like a terrible human.

[Matt Jones]

He seems like one of the sleaziest D dudes. Unbelievable. Just an unbelievable story. All right, I'm gonna go the phones after break. Tell me about Stockton Mortgage.

[Shannon Dawson]

Stockton Mortgage. I got a closing today with Stockton Mortgage. Ironically enough.

[Ryan Lemond]

Congrats.

[Shannon Dawson]

I got a tickle in my throat too, with Stockton Mortgage. To get you the closing table. They got my friend Realtor right there.

[Matt Jones]

I got closing today. Just get it out now.

[Shannon Dawson]

Matter of fact, I did not think about it. Our buyer is a KSR listener and he contacted me after you bought your house. He was one of the guys like, oh yeah. I want you to help Matt.

[Ryan Lemond]

Nice.

[Matt Jones]

See, you deserve that. Just don't hack a lung up with him.

[Shannon Dawson]

So stock the mortgage, get to the closing table, make it as easy as possible. I got a closing with them today and I'm gonna be so excited. They've been great to work with. They pulled a couple rabbits out of a hat with this one and they can do that for you. Stock the mortgage. NMLS8259 equal housing lender.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back Tugee Sports Radio. By the way, for all you law nerds out there, when you were in college you read Humphrey's Executor, okay? Those of you that are in wherever in law school, you may remember this. They just overturned it. The Supreme Court, which basically says president can fire people that lead all the federal agencies, which is, you know, different. So that's a case if you were in law school. All of us read it. It's 90 years old now. It's over, Gone, gone, just like that. Let's go to Andy. What's up, Andy?

[Caller/Listener]

Hey guys. So when is this, this kid, Nikolai, when is his decision gonna be? It's been going on for a while now, hasn't it?

[Matt Jones]

Not that long. I mean you talk about Nick. I mean it's been like three weeks or two weeks, something like that.

[Ryan Lemond]

His name really.

[Matt Jones]

I mean I think it feels long because like there's been nothing else really going on. But it hasn't been that long. I mean he only, he's in the

[Ryan Lemond]

FEBA World cup right now that just started. So yeah, all week for that. But he'll have to get to campus soon if he's going to college.

[Matt Jones]

I think they said like he decide like July 3rd, what is that? Is that Friday? So we'll, we'll know the World cup ends too. Yeah, we'll know here pretty soon

[Caller/Listener]

and net now that the five year rule is in effect. Theoretically, I mean obviously it won't happen but theoretically all of next year's team could come back except for Frank Ketna or whatever. Am I wrong on that?

[Matt Jones]

I think think that's right. I mean theoretically they could. I don't expect that will happen just by no nature, but yeah, I mean theoretically, they've got a team. It's interesting because I appreciate the call. They have a team of veterans, Drew, but veterans with eligibility. And by the way, next year's NBA draft, you know, because all these seniors are all going to get another year. So next year's NBA draft could be like they might draft us.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, we're used to trying.

[Matt Jones]

It's the worst freshman class of all time and dudes have an extra year of college eligibility. So next year's draft could just be awful.

[Ryan Lemond]

We always track the underclassmen decisions, but like everyone will be an underclassman.

[Matt Jones]

Every single person playing college basketball this year. Unless you're a fifth year senior, every single one will have another year.

[Shannon Dawson]

It'll help a guy like Malachi who may jump up to being maybe Larry pick next year.

[Matt Jones]

No, Malachi will be gone. Yeah, I mean Malachi next year, there's no way he's not a first round pick. I mean, like, there's gonna be a lot of guys next year who would have never been a first round pick any other year that will be a first round pick next year.

[Ryan Lemond]

Next May, we'll be doing the Milan watch all over again. He'll be the one from this team. He'll probably be slotted in the same spot in the mock draft.

[Matt Jones]

So Milan might be slide at the end of the first round, but he can make 6, $7 million if he comes back.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, right.

[Matt Jones]

For a lot of those guys, it's going to make sense to come back again, isn't it?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. And we saw like the North Carolina big man rolled the dice this past and lost all kinds of money.

[Matt Jones]

He'll be interesting, that North Carolina guy because he's going to be a warning sign for guys because he was slotted middle to light of the first round, didn't go to like 50th, and he would have made six or seven million dollars.

[Shannon Dawson]

He stayed in North Carolina.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Let's go to Marty. Go ahead, Marty.

[Caller Joe]

Hey, Matt.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey.

[Caller Joe]

I missed part of the first part of the show, so I don't know, maybe this is not what you were talking about, but for bugs in your pool. Is that what you were saying?

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Caller Joe]

Do you have. Okay, so when I lived in Starkville, I used to have a pool and it is a game changer to have a pool sweeper. Do you have a pool sweeper? That's like, I have nothing.

[Matt Jones]

I have. I now have a net and a pole.

[Ryan Lemond]

You have towels?

[Matt Jones]

I do have towels. I mean, I have a guy that comes and it's not like I'm not just leaving it to the ocean. There's a guy that comes. But is that the thing that goes along the top and.

[Caller Joe]

Well, it goes all around the bottom of the pool. The side, the top. Like, it will. The bottom all. It will sweep up. It's like a vacuum in your pool.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's like a Roomba.

[Caller Joe]

And you can set it. You can set it, like, to run automatically, like two hours every day. That's like the best way to keep your pool clean.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. All right, I'll get one of those. Where do you get one of those? What are they called?

[Caller Joe]

It's a pool sweeper.

[Matt Jones]

Sweeper.

[Caller Joe]

I don't know because I lived in Starkville when I had my pool, but.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, they probably had just, like, nice ones. Yeah.

[Caller Joe]

Excuse me. I love Starkville. I thought you guys like Starkville now.

[Matt Jones]

Well, it's okay.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'll come around on it.

[Matt Jones]

You, like, start. What makes Stark full good?

[Caller Joe]

It's. I don't know. There's just lots of things. The food, for one. There's food around Lexington, like.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, I bet they do.

[Caller Joe]

That I can find. Yeah, they do. They do. And just the people. There's great people in Starkville.

[Matt Jones]

Well, good. All right. We were just kidding. I don't really hate Starkville.

[Caller Joe]

Yeah, I know. Hey, and just really quick, have you guys been talking at all about the TBT games coming up at all the la.

[Matt Jones]

No. When does that start, Mario? When does that start, Mario? Yeah. July 18th. So, yeah, we got some time, but we will. Yeah, we will. It starts July 18th. Yeah. I appreciate the call. We got home court advantage.

[Ryan Lemond]

We do.

[Matt Jones]

Thank you very much.

[Ryan Lemond]

I have some players that didn't play for Kentucky. I know they're trying to win, but it's the nostalgia is what sells the tickets.

[Matt Jones]

So who's playing?

[Ryan Lemond]

There's this guy named Sean Mc. Well, they're from the state of Kentucky. They didn't play at Kentucky. Sean McNeil played at West Virginia. He's a guy that played at Georgetown.

[Mario]

So who's going to be.

[Matt Jones]

Who are our Kentucky guys?

[Ryan Lemond]

The only ones officially we. Mario knows few rumors, but officially on the roster right now are Reed, Travis, Willie, Andrew, Harrison. Aaron is hurt, can't play. And Khalil Whitney.

[Matt Jones]

And then he is playing in three

[Ryan Lemond]

dudes that didn't go to uk.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so who. Who are the rumors out there, Mario? Tell me. Tell me the rumors.

[Ryan Lemond]

You scooping, Mario?

[Matt Jones]

Go ahead.

[Caller/Listener]

Go ahead.

[Matt Jones]

Get on here and give some room. Come on. Take my microphone.

[Ryan Lemond]

Take my microphone.

[Matt Jones]

Listen, if you're going. You.

[Mario]

He's already told the Preacher, I love

[Matt Jones]

the way y' all both gave you microphones. You, Ryan, Andrew. Okay, what is it? Some scoop.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm hearing Quaday Green.

[Matt Jones]

Quaday Green's coming back.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm hearing that. And then this is a big one.

[Matt Jones]

Kirk Cresa. Kurt Cresa. So what about Archie? Where's Archie? He's not on there. Why not? I'm not sure why, but he was good. He was really good. So why is he not coming back? Contract issues, Maybe. They got some maybes, too. Who's the maybe? Give me some. Give me some maybes. Tony Oreves, maybe. How's he eligible? They can get NBA guys. NBA guys under contract. Dude, Antonio reeves will score 50.

[Shannon Dawson]

My goodness.

[Caller/Listener]

They were.

[Matt Jones]

They were in talks with Oscar she way, but that kind of.

[Shannon Dawson]

It kind of felt.

[Matt Jones]

Well, he's in the NBA though, isn't he? Signed with somebody else.

[Caller/Listener]

So.

[Matt Jones]

Dude, Antonio Reeves. Antonio will be big. Okay. Mario, you're like assistant gm. Make it happen. I'm trying here, dude. Like, if they get him, I mean, he's.

[Ryan Lemond]

Kirk Reason was my pick.

[Matt Jones]

He was scoring in the 30 points a game in the G League last year. He would be the best player in the whole thing.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, he'd be a big attraction, but he'd be also be the best player.

[Matt Jones]

Joe in Louisville. Go ahead, Joe.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, guys. Enjoy the show. Question for you, Matt. Comment first with Jack Pilgrim, I think does a great job, a great writer. Seemed really frustrated last December and January in regards to recruiting. But my question is if Donovan getting his. You know, it's really Matt Norlander, I believe. Where. I don't know where. Where he gets this information, I don't know, but he's about 90. Right? But the other thing is, where does Jack get his information if. If Mark Pope is so quiet?

[Matt Jones]

Well, those guys, I mean, I. I think Jack. I think there are people. I appreciate the call. I think Jack does have sources within the kind of UK athletics, maybe even UK basketball world. It's not Mark Pope, but it's people around. I do think on a national level, there's probably nobody that hits more consistently than Matt Norlander. But he also has a very high standard before he puts anything out. I think other guys will put stuff out quicker. So when Norlander says something, I generally will almost always go with it. I'm not saying he's never wrong, but he's probably right the most of the national guys. We'll take a break. Be right back.

[Lingokids Advertiser]

Ksr, TJ Smith PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY Call tj.

[Mario]

He'll make him pay now more Of Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

[Matt Jones]

Who is this?

[Mario]

This is the dire. I know the version of this song, but Mary Chapping Carpenter, I think is the original.

[Matt Jones]

Yes, that's the one. I know.

[Mario]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Who's this?

[Mario]

Dire Straits.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, they cop. They covered Mary Chapin Carpenter.

[Mario]

Yes. That's what you're listening to.

[Matt Jones]

I do know the Mary Chapin Carpenter version. Mary Chapin Carpenter is probably an underrated artist for how many songs of hers I like. Like I. There's a lot of her songs, Shannon, I think I enjoy. Does she still perform?

[Ryan Lemond]

She was at the Opera House last year.

[Matt Jones]

Well, no one told me.

[Ryan Lemond]

We should have gone.

[Matt Jones]

I would have gone. I would have gone to that.

[Mario]

What are the ones you like?

[Matt Jones]

Well, let's see. I'm looking at it right now. I take my chances.

[Mario]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Passionate kisses down at the Twist and Shout. I feel lucky. I remember that when she. She uses examples of hot guys as Lyle Lovett and Dwight Yocum. And as a kid, I was like, he thinks he'll keep her.

[Mario]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I've just given you five hits.

[Boost Mobile Advertiser]

That's good.

[Matt Jones]

Never had it so good.

[Shannon Dawson]

And you missed her when she was here in your back.

[Matt Jones]

Shut up and kiss me. I've heard that one the hard way. This one is the bug. That's like eight or nine big songs.

[Ryan Lemond]

She comes through. We're going.

[Caller/Listener]

All right.

[Matt Jones]

I'll go look up her this weekend. I didn't go a lot of places, but when I went places. What's the only thing anybody wanted to talk to me about? Billy's brown suits.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yep.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, same here.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

Hottest topic of the weekend.

[Matt Jones]

It is without question in Kentucky right now. The brown suits are the topic.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yep. Number one topic.

[Matt Jones]

And Billy's requirement.

[Shannon Dawson]

Did you find anybody that was in favor of Billy?

[Matt Jones]

I haven't found anybody that finds it normal, Like a reasonable request. I feel like I'm the one taking up for Billy the most in it, but it's probably because I already have one.

[Shannon Dawson]

You already have a brown suit?

[Matt Jones]

I put it on. I got to get it altered or I'm going to look like just, you know, the Kool Aid band.

[Ryan Lemond]

I think that's good, though. It's like we just showed up on what we can find. I'm going to go to Goodwill.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. But people are just like. Like, because people are sitting there going, what? I don't even know what I would wear. The. I've asked people, do you have a brown suit? Collectively of, like, 10 friends. I asked. No one owned one. No, One person said, outside of red, I can't think of a color I'd. And more. I would. I think a purple suit.

[Ryan Lemond]

You have one of those?

[Matt Jones]

I have one of those.

[Ryan Lemond]

I think on the. On the women's side, the. The dress is also an issue. Not a lot of brown dresses in the closet.

[Matt Jones]

Well, so I'll tell you what I did. I went around. I started looking at pictures in my life where people been dressed up and I've never seen anyone wearing brown. Anyone to anything.

[Ryan Lemond]

So it makes this the wedding of the summer.

[Shannon Dawson]

I thought not just brown. Tan is an acceptable option.

[Matt Jones]

Well, do you own tan stuff?

[Shannon Dawson]

No, I'd rather wear a tan suit or. Than a brown.

[Matt Jones]

You don't own it anyway.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's not what it looks like. You just. We have to find it.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, it's every. Like, whatever. It can be what it is, but like tan. First of all, it has to be tan. Men don't wear brown, do they?

[Shannon Dawson]

Unless you work for ups.

[Matt Jones]

You work for. I had a great picture. A guy was driving his UPS truck and he looked.

[Caller/Listener]

He.

[Matt Jones]

He sent me and he was like, ready for Billy's wedding. And he was wearing the outfit.

[Ryan Lemond]

What if we just showed up in UPS outfits? Is that okay with the shorts?

[Shannon Dawson]

That would be funny.

[Mario]

And then we give him the wedding gift. Like a package. Like we're delivering.

[Matt Jones]

UPS can deliver his wedding gift. All right, Billy, I know you're listening. Come in here for a second while I take this call. I want you to come in here and talk for a minute because it's actually not about this, but I want you to come in here. Terry in Shepherdsville. Go ahead, Terry.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, Matt, in terms of your blinds, you might not want to get those fixed this week. You don't need any sunlight in this week. As hot as it's going to be.

[Matt Jones]

Supposed to be like the hottest week. And it's supposed to be like insanely

[Shannon Dawson]

hot through like Thursday. A heat advisory through Thursday.

[Caller/Listener]

Wow.

[Matt Jones]

It's crazy. All right, go ahead.

[Caller/Listener]

I made a bet last night on DraftKings, and y' all just tell me if I'm throwing $50 on the ground. I bet UK over 5 1/2 football wins 50 to make. 150. I'll hang up and listen.

[Matt Jones]

I don't think you're throwing it on the ground. I think it's going to be hard. You know, we. We did that whole thing about if Bush. If we had beaten Texas and scored a touchdown, would he still be here? I didn't. We won five games last year.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah that's what made the finished Texas

[Matt Jones]

we would have gone to the bowl game I for some reason I skipped that in my head so that would have been six.

[Shannon Dawson]

That staff might still be here that

[Matt Jones]

staff would still be here. I don't think they could have fired him if they won do you know

[Ryan Lemond]

and that's why losing 45 to 10 or whatever to Vanderbilt then getting smoked by Louisville was so disappointing because you still had stuff to play for.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah so.

[Ryan Lemond]

So they beat Auburn and Florida back to back and kind of yeah they

[Matt Jones]

did and they beat Florida I saw 38 to 7 which I didn't really remember do you think what you think we can win six? You're basically get three to one odds

[Shannon Dawson]

going to six I in my heart I want them to I just don't think it's going to happen this year

[Ryan Lemond]

if you made me bet that I would go over but that's a stay away from me because I'm not that confident in it. This schedule is just so hard and there's so many unknowns with the new coach we're excited and I love what he's done so far but we have no idea what that product's really going to look like when he rolls.

[Matt Jones]

We have no idea.

[Shannon Dawson]

Nope. I mean Kenny Menchees it all think it starts and I saw a great

[Matt Jones]

video of a throw of him but that's all I know and they're being

[Ryan Lemond]

very quiet about even what the defense will look like because they don't want to show any cards in the spring so it's really hard to gauge what kind of team they have even though we like a lot of the pieces

[Matt Jones]

he sign yeah all right Billy, come here for a second. He's in here. Were you listening to the show Billy?

[Billy]

Yeah, I heard some of that.

[Matt Jones]

Okay so first of all I'm glad like you wanted your wedding is the conversation throughout Talk of the Town it

[Billy]

sounds like exactly what I wanted.

[Matt Jones]

That's what you wanted. You wanted some buzz. You thought how do I get the buzz on the same summer as Taylor and Travis. Yeah make everyone wear brown.

[Billy]

I walked out of lunch with my parents on Saturday and a guy said I got a brown suit for your wedding Billy.

[Matt Jones]

So obviously but he's not coming though right?

[Billy]

No, it's just a random stranger about

[Ryan Lemond]

my size probably I have family in from Ohio. It's one of the first things they brought up when they walked into the house.

[Billy]

I mean it's.

[Matt Jones]

What do you think of this? I mean did you expect it to have this effect that people would think it was this sort of.

[Billy]

No, not at all. But I am going to defend it until I die.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so what was just. I did have someone ask me what was the thought process.

[Billy]

There's a theme to the wedding.

[Matt Jones]

Brown.

[Billy]

Well, yeah. There's more to it than just brown.

[Matt Jones]

What's the thing?

[Billy]

Well, I can't really say. Like, it's kind of like, you got to get there and see it.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, it's a surprise.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, Shannon, I didn't know it was a surprise theme.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, they're gonna be, like, booths and stations.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay, so what.

[Matt Jones]

Don't. I don't want you to say anything, so don't react. What are. What are things that could be brown?

[Billy]

Themes?

[Matt Jones]

Names. Yes.

[Mario]

Chocolate.

[Matt Jones]

Chocolate.

[Ryan Lemond]

Maybe it's just gonna have, like, a lot of sand down that we walk on.

[Matt Jones]

Beach.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. Beachy.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. But that would be more tan brown.

[Billy]

I think Mario knows, like, he may be the only person in the state that I've told, like, what's going on? I think I've told you. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Why'd you tell him?

[Billy]

Because I had to tell somebody, like.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I know.

[Billy]

Oh, you do know.

[Shannon Dawson]

Oh, right.

[Billy]

Yeah. He went to a tasting, so Matt

[Ryan Lemond]

and I just left out.

[Matt Jones]

I'm gonna say chocolate. I'm gonna go on record as saying chocolate, because if it went to a

[Mario]

taste, if there's not a chocolate fountain at this wedding, I' I hope there's.

[Matt Jones]

I do think now if you. If I wear brown and I get all this chocolate, I'm going to be happy. Now you killed it with your world cup facts.

[Billy]

Thank you.

[Matt Jones]

Killed it. Like, literally those. I've had a ton of people mention it during games. People will text the text machine with the teams that are playing and the facts. So I'm giving you another summer assignment.

[Billy]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

I'm going to have you do facts. In 2020, during COVID we did facts about the counties. You remember was very popular. I was the one that did those. But you have now shown an ability to give facts. So we'll figure out the timing. I'm going to give you. You are going to do. We pro. I don't know if we'll get through all 120. Probably won't, but we'll get through a lot of them. Billy's county facts. Do you all. Do you like this idea?

[Ryan Lemond]

I like that a lot.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon, do you like this idea?

[Caller Joe]

Yeah.

[Mario]

Let's go.

[Matt Jones]

So, Billy, would you like to accept being the county fat guy this summer?

[Billy]

I would love to accept this Honor,

[Matt Jones]

I know you're gonna be gone for a while for your wedding, but we'll make it work. We'll make it work because by that time, football will be about to start.

[Billy]

Is this like a county a day kind of thing?

[Matt Jones]

We'll figure it out. We'll talk about it. But are you. Are you in?

[Billy]

I. I'm in. I just have to live up to the facts that you gave for each county. So can I read Mitchells and you

[Matt Jones]

can read Mitch plays if you want. It was a long time ago, so a lot of people have forgotten them or maybe weren't even listening then. So. You good?

[Billy]

Yeah. I will learn a lot about the

[Matt Jones]

state as well, and we. What I'll do is, you know, I'll say what you're going to be doing, and maybe people can write you and give you some facts you didn't know. Okay? So we are going to alphabetical order.

[Billy]

Okay?

[Matt Jones]

We're going to start tomorrow.

[Mario]

We'll never get to Spencer County. That's where we left off last time.

[Matt Jones]

Matter of fact, we just. Well, Spencer. We're stopping at Spencer. Should we work back?

[Mario]

No, we'll never get to Spencer County.

[Matt Jones]

Those counties decide to be at the bottom of the outfit, they have to deal with it. I think the first county is Allen. What's the second?

[Mario]

Adair.

[Matt Jones]

Adair and Allen. So let's just say your first assignment for tomorrow, a dare and Allen.

[Billy]

And is it one fact account?

[Matt Jones]

No, it's. It's you. You're introducing the county to us, as you see.

[Billy]

Oh, wow. Okay.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay.

[Billy]

That's different, but okay, I got it.

[Matt Jones]

But I mean, it's got to be interesting. Don't give me, like, the popular, you know, square mileage, like. Like interesting stuff.

[Billy]

Well, the World cup ones were interesting,

[Matt Jones]

so you did a good job. I'll tell you what I'll do. Let's start with two facts. Accounting, okay? Adair and Al, starting tomorrow. So if you are in a dare and Allen, maybe you write and you help Billy. And those will be your first two.

[Billy]

Okay?

[Caller/Listener]

All right.

[Ryan Lemond]

Good luck.

[Matt Jones]

Here we go.

[Ryan Lemond]

I like it.

[Matt Jones]

Court, Physical therapy. If you're in pain, call court. There's no reason. Maybe you've been working out, maybe been in the pool, you've been getting bugs. You might. You might have pulled something. There's no reason to be in pain. Call court. They'll work it out. They take most insurance and you call them. They'll get you an appointment. There are 70 locations all around the state. There is no reason to be hurting it's time to be flirting. Court.com that's k o r t.com there's no reason to be hurting. It's time to be flirt.

[Shannon Dawson]

I like that new slogan.

[Matt Jones]

Court.com that's k o r t.com just came up with that right here.

[Ryan Lemond]

They should put that on the sign.

[Matt Jones]

No need to be hurting. It's time to be flirting. We'll be right back.

[Matt Jones]

It's a great song. Apparently her concert in Lexington got canceled because the ceiling collapsed.

[Shannon Dawson]

Oh no. There's gotta be a makeup date there.

[Matt Jones]

You gotta think they have a makeup date, right?

[Ryan Lemond]

I hope so. I looked at her tour dates. Nothing around here.

[Matt Jones]

When did the ceiling. Did you know the Opera House?

[Shannon Dawson]

I didn't know that happened.

[Matt Jones]

That might not be true. That's just what someone said in the text machine. So people who run the opera house, if that was wrong, I'm sorry.

[Ryan Lemond]

I saw a Book of Mormon there. We had to evacuate, going to the street. Then they just had to restart the place.

[Matt Jones]

Ryan, during the break, Shannon sitting here going, if I just wear khaki pants, does that count?

[Caller/Listener]

No.

[Matt Jones]

It's a wedding. You have to wear a jacket. You can wear khaki pants. You can wear a wedding without a jacket.

[Mario]

This is from the invite. They say light taupe. What color is that? Is that like a khaki?

[Matt Jones]

What is taupe?

[Shannon Dawson]

If I get to 10.

[Mario]

Camel. Camel, yeah. Or rich chocolate tones.

[Matt Jones]

But the point is, you have to wear a jacket. Like. Yeah, I've seen you try to do this before. You're 50. How many years old?

[Caller/Listener]

Nine.

[Matt Jones]

You don't go to weddings without a jacket.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, you do. You do a summer wedding outside.

[Matt Jones]

No, you wear a jacket or a

[Shannon Dawson]

nice linen shirt, tan.

[Matt Jones]

First of all, you in a linen shirt. You're going to sweat. Seeing your pits.

[Mario]

Sean Miller sweating.

[Matt Jones]

You can take it off for the reception, but you need a jacket. It's a wedding. And I'm not, you know, I don't dress up for anything. But there are a couple exceptions where you dress up for a funeral.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

And you dress up for a wedding.

[Shannon Dawson]

Gotcha.

[Ryan Lemond]

It says garden cocktail attire.

[Matt Jones]

What does that mean?

[Shannon Dawson]

Not jackets.

[Ryan Lemond]

It'd be a jacket. I think cocktail attire would mean the word cocktail.

[Matt Jones]

Cocktail means less. Cocktail means dress cocktails. Not like, woo. I got cocktails.

[Mario]

Well, we know how he acted at Drew's wedding. I fell through a table.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's it, actually.

[Caller/Listener]

You're lucky.

[Matt Jones]

That was Drew.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, that was incredible.

[Matt Jones]

Your performance at Drew's wedding is the drunkest I've ever seen anyone at a wedding.

[Ryan Lemond]

And you were six. We hadn't even come in. Like, the groomsmen hadn't walked out yet.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon didn't wear a jacket. Yeah, had on, like, a green shirt.

[Shannon Dawson]

I had a jacket on.

[Ryan Lemond]

Woke up with one of my friends. Very expensive sunglasses. My friend lives in Nashville.

[Matt Jones]

You took someone's sunglasses?

[Shannon Dawson]

Don't even remember that.

[Caller/Listener]

It was pouring.

[Mario]

Doubles for everybody, too.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yes, they were.

[Ryan Lemond]

You're welcome. I have.

[Matt Jones]

Billy broke a Harper hall table. It's a good thing you knew the groom and the owner of the building.

[Mario]

This is why you get wedding insurance for Ryan.

[Caller/Listener]

Ed.

[Matt Jones]

Go ahead, Ed.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, about them bugs. When you. When you say you're not going to make it to Spencer County, I'm from Spencer County. I hope them bugs eat your ass up.

[Shannon Dawson]

Another call today.

[Matt Jones]

You know what, Ed, for you, I'm going to make sure we do Spencer County. We might even take it out of order, Ed, to make sure you get it. Okay?

[Caller/Listener]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Thank you very much. He didn't want Spencer county to be disrespected, did he?

[Caller/Listener]

Not at all.

[Ryan Lemond]

I found the exact requirements for the wedding. It even says men, what to wear. What does it say? Brown dress trousers with a tailored shirt. So we got to have a tailored shirt.

[Matt Jones]

It does not say tailored in the light. Hang on.

[Ryan Lemond]

It does. Mario, what does that say? Tailored shirt.

[Matt Jones]

Billy is requiring a tailored shirt with

[Ryan Lemond]

lightweight brown suit in summer friendly materials.

[Matt Jones]

I have to tell you, trousers. I have never.

[Mario]

Trousers.

[Matt Jones]

That means no jeans. I've never heard anyone say the shirt has to be tailored. You don't have a tailored shirt?

[Shannon Dawson]

No, and I will. Not for the wedding either.

[Matt Jones]

It also says you're going to violate the rules.

[Shannon Dawson]

I guarantee it.

[Ryan Lemond]

It says garden surfaces. We need footwear for garden search. Are we walking on, like, are we hiking? What are we doing?

[Matt Jones]

Well, that means garden surfaces. So that means you can wear comfortable shoes.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so that's good. You're going to get a tailored shirt.

[Ryan Lemond]

Avoid casual attire.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, I have. I have a couple from when I did television. Yeah, but you know, Taylor, I would love it if Billy was standing there at the front and goes, your shirts are too baggy.

[Shannon Dawson]

Get out.

[Ryan Lemond]

Sophie Cunningham meme like that guy tweeted.

[Matt Jones]

Just point. Ryan, your shirt's too bad. Wow, that's excited. That's the strictest dress code outside of saying you have to wear a tux.

[Mario]

Yeah. Most people are just happy you're there, not Billy.

[Ryan Lemond]

But doesn't it feel like we're part of the event of the year?

[Matt Jones]

I cannot believe the tailored shirt.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, it says. I'm just reading it off.

[Matt Jones]

Brian, if I take you to get a tailored shirt, I'll pay for it. Would you get. There's gotta be. Who makes suit. Who does dress clothes here? Logan's. Well, that's tuxes, though, Gino.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, Logan's.

[Matt Jones]

Probably Logan's. Come on, Logan's. Here's your chance. Here's your chance. You can outfit Ryan Lemon for Billy's wedding.

[Ryan Lemond]

I know the guys. Logan's, they.

[Matt Jones]

Listen, listen. Logan's your chance. You get the chance to make this man follow the requirements of the wedding.

[Shannon Dawson]

Because right now, I'm not getting the tailored shirt to go. Where to?

[Matt Jones]

This way, Logan's can do it for you.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. Can they include me and Shannon?

[Boost Mobile Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Mario]

Because I'm not getting anything tailored either.

[Shannon Dawson]

So maybe when we're at Logan's, we can find your overcoat you left there.

[Matt Jones]

I did leave a coat there. 20 years ago.

[Mario]

All of us, really? Because I don't think any of us have it.

[Matt Jones]

Logan's. I'm suggesting an opportunity for you. It's up to you whether you decide to do it. Bob and Jamestown, go ahead.

[Caller/Listener]

What about brown and white seersucker? Nice linen, lightweight.

[Matt Jones]

That would be good if you can find it, but that's probably pretty expensive.

[Caller/Listener]

I don't know. Get off before July sale coming up. It's true.

[Ryan Lemond]

Good time to buy.

[Matt Jones]

All right. Anything else, Bob?

[Caller/Listener]

You guys have a good week.

[Matt Jones]

Thank you very much.

[Shannon Dawson]

One of the shortest calls ever.

[Matt Jones]

That's true. All right. World Cup US plays Wednesday at 8.

[Shannon Dawson]

Who do they play?

[Matt Jones]

Bosnia and Herzegovina. Actually had a person right. On ESPN yesterday. I was on espn, said Bosnia. They wrote and said, I'm from Herzegovina included.

[Ryan Lemond]

We're here to please.

[Matt Jones]

So Bosnia and Herzegovina. Okay, DraftKings. You go to DraftKings. You can bet goal scores. You can bet the knockout round is going go to DraftKings. DK app. Put in the code KSR. Bet 5. You can win up to $200 with our good friends at DraftKings. Let's do a game today. Maybe the best game of the round of 32. Netherlands and Morocco. Two teams both ranked top 10 in the world. Who you got?

[Shannon Dawson]

Morocco.

[Matt Jones]

You say it was such force?

[Shannon Dawson]

Because I'm excited about Morocco.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay. Going with the Netherlands here.

[Matt Jones]

This game is in Mexico. Mexico rhymes with Morocco.

[Spinquest Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Shannon Dawson]

It's a good way to go for it.

[Matt Jones]

You don't think Mexico, Morocco.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, it sounds like. I don't know if they rhyme. It's much closer than Netherlands. Mexico.

[Matt Jones]

I'm gonna go with Morocco. Even though I like Dutch people. Morocco gets the win.

[Shannon Dawson]

So we're two, three. Shannon.

[Matt Jones]

You can break the Shannon. Who you got?

[Mario]

Netherlands.

[Matt Jones]

Two, two. Mario, break it. Who's the KSR pick? Morocco.

[Caller/Listener]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Gets a victory tonight in Guadalupe, Mexico. Ryan, thank you very much. Logan's, you're on the clock. Drew, see you later today. Appreciate it. We will have county facts tomorrow. And remember Wednesday, Unpopular opinion day. Everybody have a good week or have a good Monday. It's just Monday. This is KSR.
