Drew Franklin
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, everyone.
Ryan Lemond
This is Kentucky Sports Radio, Monday, July 6th.
Matt Jones
I'm Matt Jones here on a, you know, normal day in Lexington, Kentucky. You can give a shout on the
Ryan Lemond
Clark's Pump and Shop phone line.
Matt Jones
Love take your calls today. 859-280-2287. A Vision Auto Glass text machine is 772-774-5254. In this edition sponsored by the TJ Smith Law Office. If you call TJ, he'll make him pay. Ryan is out on his vacation to the Hilton Head timeshare, which I hope is working well.
Shannon Ladue
Hope he's having a good time.
Matt Jones
Hope he is, too. And we have Drew and Shannon. Billy will come in in the second hour to his counties and all of that. Guys, it was the Fourth of July. The U.S. soccer team plays tonight. Lots of exciting stuff going. Did you, were you out with the fireworks this weekend?
Shannon Ladue
I saw zero fireworks. I was not the most patriotic person.
Ryan Lemond
Zero fireworks.
Shannon Ladue
Zero fireworks. They were outside my door and I did not walk to the window to look up.
Matt Jones
You know, I, I hate fireworks. I think fireworks might be the most overrated thing.
Drew Franklin
You hush mouth.
Matt Jones
You, you like them fireworks?
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
Why do you like them?
Drew Franklin
Well, in Bullock county, you can't avoid them.
Matt Jones
First of all, nobody, they give them to babies.
Drew Franklin
Nobody per capita spends more money than Bullock County.
Lowe's Advertiser
Is that right?
Drew Franklin
Yes. I mean, it was going off last night like a Fourth of July party
Ryan Lemond
on the Bullet County. What are the things?
Matt Jones
Bullet county has a lot of Mountain Dew fireworks and what else?
Drew Franklin
Awesomeness.
Ryan Lemond
Okay, that should be, that should be on the thing. Well, I, you know, I usually try
Matt Jones
to actively avoid them.
Shannon Ladue
It's good to get out of the way if they're coming at you.
Matt Jones
But my friend, hubby, he has like a neighborhood thing.
Ryan Lemond
So, you know, I've, I've committed to
Matt Jones
try to be like a neighbor to people, you know, because everywhere I've lived, Shannon, I've not known my neighbors.
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
Matt Jones
So I'm going to try to become neighbors.
Shannon Ladue
You're branching out now.
Matt Jones
This isn't my neighborhood, but the premise is still the same.
Shannon Ladue
You're practicing.
Ryan Lemond
Practicing. So I went over, I guess, Idle Hour Country Club.
Matt Jones
You know, that's a, that's fancy schmancy, right? I've only been over there one time. Well, no, I didn't get to go to the country club. You just, they put a wall around them. You know, you are exclusive when you're like, we are building a wall to keep the people out.
Shannon Ladue
Kind of tucked in over there, too.
Ryan Lemond
Yes. And it's in downtown Lexington.
Matt Jones
And they're like, nope, don't come near here.
Ryan Lemond
But apparently they put on. Sources told me.
Matt Jones
Shannon, you want to know what? Now this is. Again, this is unofficial. Okay?
Ryan Lemond
Sources told me that Idle Hour. You know what I heard they spend on their fireworks?
Matt Jones
Just take a guess. What do you think a country club should spend on.
Shannon Ladue
I'm going to say $8,000.
Matt Jones
What do you think?
Drew Franklin
Yeah, I was going to say like 10. 10 grand?
Matt Jones
I heard 60. Wow. Now, I don't know if that's true. Okay, so I want to be clear, but that's a lot of money for fireworks.
Shannon Ladue
So the neighborhood was talking about. There's some gossip on.
Ryan Lemond
Here's the thing.
Matt Jones
You know, the country club pays for it, but the people around Idle Hour, they kind of like, they get the benefit without having to pay.
Ryan Lemond
They get scraps. So, like, I drove by the Shriners.
Matt Jones
I guess it's not called Shriners anymore, but what is that on Richmond Road? The huge facility close to where Cal used to live?
Shannon Ladue
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
And I was like, what are all these people doing?
Matt Jones
They were setting up to steal the fireworks.
Shannon Ladue
On that big hill?
Matt Jones
Yeah, they were setting up on the hill. And by steal, I mean watch. You know, people were parked in the median, which I didn't even know you were allowed to do on Richmond Road.
Shannon Ladue
No rules. On the fourth.
Matt Jones
On the fourth. So anyway, we went over there, watched it. I would admit to you, Shannon, after three minutes, I was good.
Drew Franklin
You'd seen her.
Matt Jones
Now, look, they're the colors. That's nice.
Caller (various callers)
Look, there's red.
Drew Franklin
They could at least hand it you a sparkling.
Matt Jones
So I'm kind of anti firework, but it was good to have to meet people. There was a guy from my neighborhood, they had. In my neighborhood, which is the green bar area, they had a golf cart parade.
Shannon Ladue
Oh, yeah. It's a big deal out there.
Drew Franklin
That. Now that is something I'm anti.
Matt Jones
You're anti the golf cart parade.
Drew Franklin
Golf cart parade. They do this in Florida. Like it's such a big deal. Decorate your golf. Nobody would see your damn golf carts.
Matt Jones
Well, these people had decorated their golf cart.
Ryan Lemond
I didn't listen. If you don't know a golf cart
Matt Jones
parade is happening and you just walk
Ryan Lemond
outside and you see golf carts dressed in flags.
Matt Jones
You think, am I being invaded by old people?
Shannon Ladue
Did you wave a little flag as it passed?
Ryan Lemond
No, I didn't know it was happening. They had a post golf cart parade
Matt Jones
cookout, but no one had invited me to it, and I didn't feel like I Could just walk. You can't just walk into a strange.
Ryan Lemond
Oh, they were outside.
Matt Jones
Are you allowed to just walk into
Ryan Lemond
someone's yard at a cookout?
Shannon Ladue
Is it like one house, or was it like, at the country club?
Matt Jones
No, it's at one person.
Shannon Ladue
If it's at one person's house, that's a little.
Matt Jones
Well, people kind of look at you
Shannon Ladue
like, who's this guy on the 4th?
Drew Franklin
You know?
Ryan Lemond
Yes.
Matt Jones
I didn't go. I didn't go. No. You know, as I was walking, another
Ryan Lemond
guy goes, come over later for pork.
Matt Jones
But then he didn't tell me where he lived. Gotta follow the smell.
Ryan Lemond
So these are all things I've got to learn about.
Matt Jones
About neighborhoods. But it was a good Fourth of
Ryan Lemond
July outside of that.
Matt Jones
And, you know. So my point is, Drew, I interacted with people, something that I've generally tried to not do in neighborhoods. It's new times. Gonna try to interact with people.
Shannon Ladue
You had a breakthrough on America's 250th, where I live, you can walk out and see big shows in, like, four directions. I can see Greenbrier. I can see downtown. My neighborhood had a big one. I sat on the couch. There was a salt and pepper concert. Oh, actually, I watched them on tv. Does that count? I saw the New York ones.
Matt Jones
See, I think fireworks on TV are even worse. Well, I just didn't want to get
Ryan Lemond
the point of watching a firework on television.
Drew Franklin
I'm with you. Like, I need to be able to feel that boom.
Shannon Ladue
I can hear the boom.
Drew Franklin
I mean, it's not the same. I need.
Shannon Ladue
I could hear it all around me.
Matt Jones
You could hear it?
Shannon Ladue
Oh, yeah.
Ryan Lemond
Does the city do one?
Shannon Ladue
Yeah, downtown.
Ryan Lemond
Feels like the city should do one. They do one downtown.
Matt Jones
Okay.
Shannon Ladue
If. If my baby were a little bit older, we probably. I heart would be a great place to come up and watch it, you know, all glass down here.
Ryan Lemond
Downtown.
Shannon Ladue
But she doesn't care about fireworks.
Ryan Lemond
I kept reading online. You know, I was on Facebook a
Matt Jones
little more this weekend than usual because I just started going down rabbit holes of, you know, just weirdness all across the state, and people get very upset.
Ryan Lemond
A lot of people say in their
Matt Jones
Facebook post, think about the dogs today. Yeah, but what do they mean?
Shannon Ladue
Dogs go crazy with the noises you can't get.
Ryan Lemond
So dogs don't like the fireworks.
Shannon Ladue
And I was a little worried with a newborn. She was asleep, and there were some lo. Noises, and she'd kind of jerk and
Ryan Lemond
startle, but she never woke up on Facebook. Think about the dogs. What am I supposed to do pray for them.
Shannon Ladue
Probably not shoot fireworks at 1am but
Ryan Lemond
do they really think that people are not going to shoot fireworks? It's the 4th of July. So I kind of don't understand what those posts are because they'll go, everyone needs to think about the dogs.
Matt Jones
And so I, you know, I want to be considerate.
Drew Franklin
So I'm like, all right, Yep, I think about them.
Matt Jones
I'm thinking about now.
Drew Franklin
Watch this M80 go off.
Lowe's Advertiser
Now.
Ryan Lemond
What am I supposed to do now that I'm thinking about them?
Shannon Ladue
You have a dog, you can't get it to shut up.
Ryan Lemond
When fireworks are going off, does it specifically affect dogs?
Shannon Ladue
Dogs and babies right across the street from me. It sounded like they were shooting cannonballs and I was so worried I was
Ryan Lemond
going to hear that something's happening. Or is it because the sound hits them a specific way?
Shannon Ladue
Probably just that it's so loud. Something new startles them. They're reacting.
Ryan Lemond
Which leads me to one more thing.
Matt Jones
Do you know, Shannon, you may not,
Ryan Lemond
but you know where.
Matt Jones
Joseph Beth Bookstore.
Shannon Ladue
Of course. I was there yesterday.
Matt Jones
So there was a Reddit thread this weekend of people talking about. And this is. This has screwed me up.
Ryan Lemond
You were there yesterday, right?
Matt Jones
Today, Shannon, for the suits.
Drew Franklin
Brown suit mating.
Matt Jones
Lexington Green at Logan's.
Ryan Lemond
They said that there is outside of Lexington Green in that little, what do you call it?
Matt Jones
Porch area. Like what do you call those things
Shannon Ladue
back where Palmer's is?
Ryan Lemond
No, no, just in front of.
Shannon Ladue
In the front, in the front, whatever
Matt Jones
that is, that little rotunda or whatever
Ryan Lemond
that they play a high pitched sound
Matt Jones
to keep birds away.
Ryan Lemond
And these people on this Reddit thread, there were some people saying, I can't even walk in there because the sound
Matt Jones
hits me so much.
Ryan Lemond
And then I've realized I don't even hear the sound. Do you hear the sound?
Shannon Ladue
I've never heard it. I've been there a couple times.
Ryan Lemond
They literally can't even go because it gets in their brain so much. And yet I've never heard it. And it makes me wonder, am I deaf?
Matt Jones
Are those people crazy?
Ryan Lemond
Does that sound actually exist or are they making this up?
Shannon Ladue
I've never heard it. I've been there a couple times in the last month. I used to work over there. I don't know if they did it years ago.
Matt Jones
So you don't hear it?
Shannon Ladue
Never heard it.
Ryan Lemond
I don't hear it today. Mario, Shannon, you all have to tell
Matt Jones
me when we go out there.
Shannon Ladue
Okay?
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Do you hear it?
Shannon Ladue
What if they just fold over in pain as soon as we get Close, do you say?
Ryan Lemond
So Mario walks in and he just starts yelling immediately. Ah, Karen Dawes. So I am going to ask the
Matt Jones
listeners, 772-7745254, do any of you hear that?
Ryan Lemond
Because on Reddit there were many, many people saying, they've got to stop doing that.
Matt Jones
It's too loud. And I don't hear one thing.
Drew Franklin
How could they hear it but you guys can't hear it.
Ryan Lemond
That's what I'm saying. Are there sounds that some humans. I know there are sounds dogs can
Matt Jones
hear or birds can hear that we can't hear.
Ryan Lemond
But are there sounds that humans can
Matt Jones
hear that other humans can't hear?
Shannon Ladue
I think there's maybe a gap in like a level you could hear and I could hear, but it wouldn't. It'd be a thin margin. I don't think it'd be like, you know, dogs have dog whistles.
Ryan Lemond
They were. The people in this story were acting like they walk around going, ears are bleeding. And I'm just trying to get a buck.
Drew Franklin
You remember Yachty and Laurel? Some people heard Laurel, some people heard Yanni. So maybe there is.
Matt Jones
That's right in the dress where some people saw blue and some people saw yellow.
Drew Franklin
Maybe there is something to it. I'll let you know when I get there today.
Shannon Ladue
Well, we'll get to the bottom of this.
Ryan Lemond
If the four of us, if none
Matt Jones
of us can hear it, then I'm leaning towards the Reddit people are making this up. Unless people tell me on the text machine that they can hear.
Ryan Lemond
I've been going to Joseph Beth for
Matt Jones
20 years and have never heard it. So I don't know.
Shannon Ladue
Yeah, I'm, I'm calling, I'm calling out a bluff here. I don't think it's true.
Matt Jones
Well, we'll find out. Now, the other thing that's happening is tonight. Well, first of all, last night, the Mexico England soccer game. Shannon, did you watch it?
Drew Franklin
I didn't even know it was on. No.
Ryan Lemond
Well, what is it with you all? Like, you and Ryan in the World cup, like, that was a massive.
Drew Franklin
I'm worried about our country. We played tonight at 8 o'.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
Clock.
Ryan Lemond
You didn't even think about turning on Mexico and England in Mexico City? You could argue Mexico and England might be the two countries the closest to us both, like, historically, geographically. And you just weren't interested?
Drew Franklin
Not at all. Nope.
Matt Jones
One of the best sporting events I've ever seen. When you combine environment and intention and excitement.
Ryan Lemond
I mean, soccer is not the most
Matt Jones
exciting sport in the world, but nevertheless,
Ryan Lemond
just the whole thing and the crowd shots and the national anthems and like, the one guy had a on his ear and it just. Everything was just so exciting.
Shannon Ladue
Yeah. And, you know, they're pretty close teams. Like, the points prep was pretty close, too, but, like, for England, it looked like you're going to run away with it. Run away with the Mexico. Just keep it close, keep it close. And it kept giving them hope, which just made the atmosphere even better.
Matt Jones
Oh, I mean, the beginning.
Ryan Lemond
First of all, I don't know what
Matt Jones
they do at a stadio as Teka,
Ryan Lemond
but, like, that seems the place is just wild. They don't stop. And then when the Mexican national anthem. Again, I'm not trying to make everybody mad, but the Mexican national anthem is. Seems so fun, right?
Shannon Ladue
Are you ranking it ahead of Star Spangled Banner?
Ryan Lemond
Well, first of all, the British national anthem is just got. Is just our song. I mean, I know we stole it
Matt Jones
from them, but is it my country?
Ryan Lemond
Tis of the right.
Shannon Ladue
So it's ours. We took it when we won the war.
Caller (various callers)
Okay.
Shannon Ladue
But it came with the territory.
Ryan Lemond
But I know that song. But the Mexican song, they're all gleeful
Matt Jones
and, like, it's kind of upbeat.
Shannon Ladue
Did you see the night before the party they had outside England's hotel?
Ryan Lemond
Is that fair? Foul, Shannon.
Matt Jones
For the Mexican fans to stand outside the English hotel and try to keep the players up on fireworks.
Drew Franklin
I think that's foul. I think it's foul.
Shannon Ladue
You do?
Matt Jones
I think it's pretty foul.
Ryan Lemond
Isn't that what home field advantage is?
Caller (various callers)
Absolutely.
Shannon Ladue
Speaking of home field advantage, I was thinking, if I were an England fan, I am taking off my England shirt on the way out.
Ryan Lemond
Exactly what I thought when that game was over.
Matt Jones
I had to be. If I was an England fan, I'd be like, can I get an escort out of here?
Shannon Ladue
I'm walking out naked. I wouldn't run an England.
Ryan Lemond
Do you like that?
Matt Jones
England sings Oasis after it's over.
Shannon Ladue
It threw me off because they were in Mexico City. I guess the winning team picks the playlist.
Ryan Lemond
But I thought, oh, yeah, they see Champagne Supernova, baby. The team went and sang that with the crowd. So, like, their country roads is Wonderwall.
Drew Franklin
I mean, they got the Beatles, right, and they're choosing Oasis over the Beatles.
Ryan Lemond
But I will say, when they got
Matt Jones
to the chorus, they were yelling. I mean, they were. They were into it.
Shannon Ladue
You didn't really know they were there until.
Ryan Lemond
You're gonna be the one that saves me.
Shannon Ladue
How about the injury in the celebration of the guy jumping the Wall. Did you see that?
Matt Jones
Okay, it was a wonder wall. Which one are you talking about?
Shannon Ladue
One of England's players hurdled the little wall to celebrate. Oh, he got hurt bad. They had to bring out stretchers. He's out.
Matt Jones
Oh, I must have missed.
Shannon Ladue
Yeah. They're starting midfielder.
Ryan Lemond
I did, like, at the end of
Matt Jones
the game when the Mexican player got hurt and they didn't have any more substitution, Shannon. So they just dragged him to the side and left him.
Ryan Lemond
Did you see that? They're up against the clock.
Matt Jones
They lose army cross.
Ryan Lemond
They literally. He. He just was laying. Like, all the action was just right next to him. And he was agonizing in pain.
Matt Jones
And they just left him laying there.
Shannon Ladue
Only had about a minute and a half. They had to get him off the pitch. They rolled him right over the line
Matt Jones
and left him out of here.
Shannon Ladue
No, but an England player, like, they're hopping the little wall to celebrate with the crowd, and he gets tripped up and it can't tell if he breaks his arm or his leg, but it's bad. They brought out stretchers and he's out. Out.
Ryan Lemond
What half was that? I must have walked.
Shannon Ladue
It was right after it ended. They went to, like, celebrate with their crowd, and they're just not even that big of a wall. And, like, one of them hops it, another hops up. Oh, he got hurt. Yeah. They had to bring security to put around him as they brought the stretchers out.
Caller (various callers)
Wow.
Matt Jones
Okay, well, he's out. We're going to talk about the usa. Obviously, some controversy, but excitement, games tonight.
Ryan Lemond
Are you going to watch the game tonight, Shannon?
Drew Franklin
I'm going to watch a little.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
Yeah.
Drew Franklin
We're getting, you know What? Round of 16 as we get closer. I'm getting just a little bit more interested slightly.
Matt Jones
I mean, this is massive tonight.
Ryan Lemond
This is like, USA's only made it past the round of 16 once in its history.
Drew Franklin
I know the name of one player now who? Baligan.
Matt Jones
We're going to talk about Baligan.
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
Matt Jones
And more. And you could tell me if that sound is actually there. We will take a break. It's KSR here. There's actually a lot of UK basketball today, too. We'll be right back.

Worse. I mean, I like the song better, but I mean I don't feel like this is a better party song.
Matt Jones
Party in the usa Switch.
Drew Franklin
It kind of a downer song.
Matt Jones
Well, but Country Roads is kind of a downer song.
Drew Franklin
No, I feel like it's upbeat. Right.
Ryan Lemond
Okay.
Drew Franklin
You know, it's more happy.
Matt Jones
Yeah. Well, apparently the announcer said during the thing that when Mexico scores, they have to put umbrellas over their head because people throw so much beer in the air.
Shannon Ladue
Yeah, throwing beer. They also threw a lot of beer on the field during the red card. I mean they were. They're an active group last night.
Matt Jones
Yeah, I'm with you. If I was a British, I'd have been like, how do I get out of here? Okay, so lot of people writing saying they hear it. One person says, matt, when I go in there, it's so bad, I have to run in the door.
Shannon Ladue
This is crazy.
Drew Franklin
That's dramatic.
Shannon Ladue
Never heard it.
Ryan Lemond
Never been over there a thousand times.
Shannon Ladue
I used to work in there.
Matt Jones
One person says, you all won't be able to hear it because you're old, but Mario will fall on the ground in pain.
Shannon Ladue
That big ears. I can hear.
Matt Jones
You and I both have big ears. We should be able to hear this.
Shannon Ladue
I'm excited to see Mar.
Caller (various callers)
All right.
Matt Jones
Apparently it's used to. For mosquitoes. They're saying okay to keep them away.
Shannon Ladue
I feel like I'm like, do I need to get my hearing checked?
Caller (various callers)
If.
Shannon Ladue
If I can't hear?
Matt Jones
You might have a hearing loss. Go ahead. You probably have a hearing loss. Exactly right.
Ryan Lemond
Uh, all right, so let's talk about the.
Matt Jones
We'll go the phones in a minute. 85928, 02287. Let's talk about the US game. So we lost Baligan to. To a red card that shouldn't have been a red card. And now it looks like Donald Trump got involved.
Ryan Lemond
By the way, I predicted this.
Matt Jones
If you were listening to ESPN when the news broke, I said, donald Trump is going to take credit. And he did. It turns out like he. It looks like he made a call. Now, Belgium this morning has filed appeal, and they're going to have a hearing this morning. So I guess there's still a chance it could go back the other way. Uh, what are your thoughts on all this?
Shannon Ladue
Obviously, I loved it. That was such a bull crap call. It shouldn't have happened.
Matt Jones
Yeah. As a starting point, he probably should have never got.
Shannon Ladue
Everyone is pretty much in agreement. Not just the Americans. Everyone's in agreement. That shouldn't have happen happened. You know, FIFA, FIFA is one of the most corrupt organizations on the planet. I'm glad that we're benefiting. We're on the good side of their corruption because they have a rule where you can't do this.
Matt Jones
I love that they specifically have a rule that you cannot do exactly what they do.
Shannon Ladue
So I love that we're on the good side of their corruption and that they're changing it.
Ryan Lemond
So, like, I consider this similar to
Matt Jones
when you get a call in college basketball and you know the calls wrong, Shannon. And you just go, well, keep playing.
Drew Franklin
But they are the ncaa. They never go back and overturn it. Like they're doing. This is kind of like it's crazy that they're doing it. Yeah.
Matt Jones
My view is very simple. He should have been playing anyway.
Ryan Lemond
It is clear that this is, like, corrupt.
Matt Jones
But you know what? This time, it's on our side, and
Ryan Lemond
it is what it is.
Matt Jones
You know what?
Ryan Lemond
If I was Belgium, I'd be mad.
Shannon Ladue
They're very mad.
Ryan Lemond
If I was the rest of the world, I'd be mad. But, like, I'm not. I'm America.
Matt Jones
And I'm so. I'm glad we. I'm glad he's playing now. We gotta win, though. You know, you gotta win at this point.
Shannon Ladue
It's good, that home field advantage, workforce. If it's not in America, they probably
Ryan Lemond
don't do any other country.
Matt Jones
He's not playing.
Shannon Ladue
Yeah, but you're right. We have to finish the job. Especially we're probably a little bit of the bad guys now to the rest of the field.
Ryan Lemond
And if we weren't already this on Twitter, like, for people like me who
Matt Jones
do not like Trump, this is not the time to complain about Trump's corruption, complain about the $2.2 billion he's gotten in the last year. You could complain about that.
Ryan Lemond
But this actually helps us. So let's just let this one go.
Shannon Ladue
That's my president. Yeah.
Caller (various callers)
Okay.
Shannon Ladue
Made soccer great again.
Drew Franklin
Weekend and everything. It was perfect.
Lowe's Advertiser
Yes.
Drew Franklin
We deserve.
Ryan Lemond
So you know what?
Matt Jones
It is what it is. But if I were Belgian, I'd be upset. And the Bell seemed pretty upset.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Shannon Ladue
I mean, imagine we're in the Final Four and, you know, we're playing Duke and their best players out, but the day before, they're like, you know what? We're going to put them back in. We would be pretty upset.
Matt Jones
Yeah. And the game was on Duke's campus. You know, it would be.
Shannon Ladue
Coach K calls the NCAA and gets it fixed.
Ryan Lemond
So the game is tonight.
Matt Jones
I am going to make the claim
Ryan Lemond
that this is probably, in my lifetime,
Matt Jones
one of the bigger patriotic US Sporting events ever.
Ryan Lemond
I was trying to think of. Can you think of a time, I'm sure people older than me would say
Matt Jones
the US Hockey game, but, like, I wasn't. I wasn't really. I was alive, but I didn't know what was going on.
Ryan Lemond
Can you think of a time that
Matt Jones
America has been more excited for an American sporting event than this?
Shannon Ladue
Not really. I thought about, like, you know, Olympic basketball. We're so good.
Caller (various callers)
We're going to win.
Shannon Ladue
It would be fun to have this. But we rarely, if ever, have anything like this in Olympic basketball.
Matt Jones
France and basketball this year.
Ryan Lemond
That was very exciting. But the game is like at 8 in the morning and I don't know
Matt Jones
how much a lot of people weren't even awake.
Ryan Lemond
This is prime time. It's in our country.
Shannon Ladue
We're not an underdog in the match, but we're a big underdog in the sport. Like, we've never really had success.
Ryan Lemond
Can you think of one, Shannon, where there's been a game where America was playing?
Drew Franklin
No, I mean, not like Team America, but I mean, maybe like after 9, 11, like the first Yankees game or something like that. Everybody was watching.
Ryan Lemond
Now, that was a huge deal, but
Drew Franklin
it was very patriotic.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, but it wasn't an American team playing. I just think this is like, we're not used to this. Like when we, when I used to see videos or even when I went to soccer and people are crying and stuff. We've not really had this and we're having it here. And I think that's really kind of fascinating because we've, we've not done this. Like, when you see, when you saw this, the, the pictures in Mexico yesterday, that's kind of normal for them. We've never really had that. And now we're going to have it tonight.
Shannon Ladue
Yeah, I mean, we've had like Gold Cups and stuff, but the rest of the casual sports fans don't get into that.
Ryan Lemond
Didn't know when those games were. My mom knows tonight.
Shannon Ladue
Everyone I know, except maybe Shannon Ryan
Ryan Lemond
are locked in tonight is coming to my house and was like, we're going to. We can watch it tonight. Like, she's not. She didn't know the Gold Cup. This is the only time that's ever happened.
Shannon Ladue
And Seattle is a great place to have it. They're going to be going absolutely crazy and, well, they'll be going crazy everywhere. But in that city, in that stadium, we might rival Mexico City's crowd last night.
Ryan Lemond
So it's, it's, it's, it's gonna be neat because it's going to be passionate. I mean, did you see the pictures at Fourth street yesterday, Shannon, of the Mexico game?
Caller (various callers)
No.
Drew Franklin
No. Fourth street live again.
Ryan Lemond
Well, now it's going to be like that tonight for the USA is Lexington. Have a place.
Drew Franklin
I don't know.
Ryan Lemond
Okay, turn that off.
Matt Jones
Turn that off.
Drew Franklin
Come on.
Matt Jones
It's. No, I'm gonna sing country fired up.
Shannon Ladue
I'll take my hat off.
Matt Jones
All right. We'll be right back.

He'll make him pay.
Drew Franklin
Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Matt Jones
Here's Matt Jones welcome back, techie Sports radio. Alright, so all of you there, people writing me going, you know, FIFA has ruled 27.
Ryan Lemond
That's.
Matt Jones
First of all, you don't know what FIFA rules are. You just learned that and you probably saw it in a tweet.
Ryan Lemond
The reality is they've never done this
Matt Jones
before during a match now or during the tournament. They did it for Ronaldo before the tournament and they've done that before, but never during the tournament.
Ryan Lemond
I don't care. Look, can we all just acknowledge it was probably corrupt.
Shannon Ladue
24 hours.
Ryan Lemond
Probably corrupt. 24 hours for the game.
Matt Jones
Like they could have done it four days ago.
Ryan Lemond
They did 24 hours for the game. It was probably corrupt. That's okay, though. Just acknowledge. Thank you.
Matt Jones
Corruptness.
Shannon Ladue
I'm sure Wisconsin fans enjoyed that shot clock violation.
Matt Jones
Exactly. You don't have to sit there and go, actually, shot clocks do not know it was a violation. Right. It was about. I just saw the video of that English guy breaking his arm to be going through.
Shannon Ladue
And then you're out.
Ryan Lemond
That was.
Matt Jones
That was abs. That's awful. Real quick, what do we make of Kirk Crease?
Shannon Ladue
You know, I've been in a little bit of communication with her, getting ready for tbt. I was wondering actually delete that.
Ryan Lemond
As your attorney, it's been.
Matt Jones
It's been strictly about basketball. We needed to not have what.
Shannon Ladue
It's been strictly about basketball, you know,
Ryan Lemond
would you say that.
Shannon Ladue
What's about basketball? I think I have proof. I was hoping to have him on the show before tbt while you're out. Probably not just he's been making his rounds on other appearances. Like, he seemed fired up, ready to go back in Lexington. Been hanging out with 20, promoting it. This was just shocking that.
Matt Jones
This was shocking. And let me say, I had like a double shock. All of a sudden I have somebody go, what a report by Jack Pilgrim. And my heart drops a little bit. Oh, because he was the one that reported.
Shannon Ladue
Yeah.
Ryan Lemond
So I called him.
Matt Jones
This is what you do, Shannon, when you have trust in people. I called Jack and said, are you sure? And he goes, I'm 1000% sure.
Drew Franklin
Yep.
Matt Jones
And I was like, okay, then I'll. But you know when you're talking about federal indictment and like, gotta be.
Shannon Ladue
Newspapers all over picked up ksr.
Ryan Lemond
And yes, we were cited for every. Like, no one else had it.
Caller (various callers)
Good work.
Matt Jones
Apparently, according to some folks who wrote me, he was arrested Friday, like at a bank here in town, from what I hear. You know, I can't. I'm not 1000%, but that was just what people were saying. He was in jail in Lexington. TV stations confirmed he was in jail. Jack's reporting is federal indictment for fraud. Going back to his days at West Virginia. No idea what that means.
Ryan Lemond
I would guess we'll probably figure out today because he's going to be extradited today.
Matt Jones
He had a long week, so he was just at the Fayette county jail all week. And then we'll get extradited. But fraud, that's a lot now.
Shannon Ladue
And when the FBI's involved, it's not small time.
Ryan Lemond
When the FBI's involved, it ain't a joke.
Matt Jones
Right. Um.
Ryan Lemond
People have been trying to guess like
Matt Jones
that it might have been gambling.
Ryan Lemond
I have no idea.
Matt Jones
Like, I. I haven't seen or heard anything like that. I will not. I don't want to go into details, but you and I both know, Drew, there have been whispers about something that Kerr would do involving tickets for a long time, and it was one of those things that you didn't know, so you didn't talk about. But you can't help but wonder when you hear this if that was something.
Shannon Ladue
Yeah, the gambling thing took off. I saw a screenshot where somebody asked AI you can't use AI for, like, search for something like this for something that's just happened because it'll just. It'll make something up to have an answer for you. I think that's where it originated. Could turn out being that.
Matt Jones
And I don't think that mug shot was correct either. I think that was fake.
Ryan Lemond
The mug shot that's getting sent around.
Matt Jones
I don't think that's right. I think that's made up.
Shannon Ladue
Well, regardless, I don't know what he did, but as we said, with the FBI, get involved for fraud, this looks to be major, major, major trouble.
Matt Jones
We'll probably find out more today. But quite. I mean, quite a situation, you know, you can't help but go, okay, well, he played for Kentucky. Is this going to involve. From what we understand, it all goes back to things from West Virginia.
Shannon Ladue
That's why they're sending them back there.
Matt Jones
So that at least is good. That was a West Virginia team, Shannon, by the way, that went 9 and 23, the one he was on. So just keep that in mind.
Shannon Ladue
They had all kinds of other side stories, too. It was wild.
Matt Jones
They've had, like four or five people get in trouble from that school, from that team. That might be one where they do
Shannon Ladue
a documentary one Is that Huggins last year, too.
Matt Jones
So. So. So anyway, we will see, but we
Shannon Ladue
need a guard in tbt.
Matt Jones
Now we do.
Shannon Ladue
Mario, who we were placed.
Matt Jones
He's not going. You're the gm. He's not going to play anymore for tbt. Do you have any other.
Shannon Ladue
I think it's fair to say he's out.
Matt Jones
I think. I think it's fair to say he's questionable with federal indictment.
Shannon Ladue
But what a. I mean, of all the headlines to get fourth of July weekend. Who could have seen that coming? A uk, Former UK player getting involved with the fba.
Matt Jones
If you had told me someone from the last five years had a federal indictment, would he have been on your
Drew Franklin
short list
Ryan Lemond
if you told me it was fraud?
Matt Jones
Yes. I think that might have been my first guess. And I can't believe you just said I've been in communication with him.
Shannon Ladue
Not since the arrest. Innocent stuff. I'll tweet the. I'll tweet the screenshot.
Caller (various callers)
Jacob.
Matt Jones
Go ahead, Jake.
Shannon Ladue
Zero fraud on my end.
Caller (various callers)
Hey, so talking about the Joseph Best with the high pitch.
Matt Jones
Yes.
Caller (various callers)
I'm pretty sure it's just a H thing. So I would be shocked if Mario doesn't hear it.
Matt Jones
Well, now if Mario doesn't hear it, he's got real problems.
Ryan Lemond
Can you hear it when you're there, Mario?
Caller (various callers)
He probably needs to be checked.
Ryan Lemond
Jacob, can you hear it?
Caller (various callers)
I've not been there in a couple years. I'm 34 now. I could hear it two years ago. I don't know if I could hear it now.
Shannon Ladue
I was like 20 when I worked there every day and never heard it.
Ryan Lemond
I don't understand. I'm amazing how many people say they do here, but then there's a lot of people that say they don't. Maybe this is the difference.
Matt Jones
I appreciate the call in humanity is whether or not you can hear the Joseph Beth high pitched.
Drew Franklin
Do they have that many mosquitoes? They have to do this. I mean, I would think a bug zapper would be just fine. Maybe some citronella. No.
Ryan Lemond
So what somebody said in the Reddit
Matt Jones
thread was the way that the little thing is situated. I'm gonna say rotunda. They collect up in the top of it.
Drew Franklin
Oh, that keeps them away.
Matt Jones
And that will keep them away. That's what they. Now again, that's what some random person said on Reddit. I'm not saying that's true. I do not know.
Shannon Ladue
I believe them.
Matt Jones
Well, I mean, they did say this and I thought they were lying about that. And it sounds like people say works.
Shannon Ladue
I'm excited to get out there.
Matt Jones
I'm excited.
Shannon Ladue
I'm gonna listen. As far As I can.
Matt Jones
I'm to watch Mario just be in agony. Pete. Go ahead. Pete.
Ryan Lemond
Pete.
Caller (various callers)
Hey, guys, what's up?
Hey.
Back in the 90s, malls and big shopping areas when, when the skateboard craze really took off and those kids were hitting any handrail they could find and didn't care, people were walking around and stuff like that. A lot of those mall owners put out speakers, loudspeakers out the front of the mall that played a high frequency that you, you, you lose the ability to hear it. But you don't have to be necessarily that old. I mean, like 20 or, you know, 19, 20, 21, you, you lose it.
Matt Jones
So you're saying children can hear it, but not adults.
Drew Franklin
Yes.
Caller (various callers)
Huh. I'm not sure about the one that Joseph Beth.
But now.
But that was, that was a story. And because people, some people were saying what. It's unethical. And some people were saying, but does it damage their hearing? I mean, there was a big deal back, back years ago because these guys were blasting this ultra high frequency to keep kids away and skateboarders away, and
Drew Franklin
you should find one.
Caller (various callers)
And everybody else walking through couldn't.
Shannon Ladue
Couldn't hear it.
Matt Jones
But I appreciate the call. We need to find a skateboarder to, to, to go and test it for us. People are saying the 99 World Women's World cup was a very. I, I.
Ryan Lemond
Even the one. Remember when we had the, when the bar. We did a women's World cup run
Matt Jones
and, and people were really into it too. But I remember that 99, when.
Ryan Lemond
That's when the woman took her shirt
Shannon Ladue
off slid after they get in the pk.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Matt Jones
She took her shirt off. Her name, you know, Brandy Chastain.
Caller (various callers)
Boom.
Shannon Ladue
Good call.
Matt Jones
How about that memory?
Shannon Ladue
Iconic moment in US Sports.
Matt Jones
Yes.
Ryan Lemond
You think that would be controversial now
Matt Jones
that she took her shirt off, like back then, and I don't remember it being controversial, but people get more worked up about things now.
Shannon Ladue
No, I don't think so.
Caller (various callers)
Jeff.
Shannon Ladue
Sports brawn was all right.
Matt Jones
Yeah. His family, I do remember that. That's probably the biggest one. I think we were playing China maybe in that game. Mike. Go ahead, Mike. Hey, Matt, what's up?
Caller (various callers)
Hey. So a couple. I mean, it was just last. I mean, last year, I guess, or six months ago, we did the USA Hockey. That was a pretty big U.S. it was.
Ryan Lemond
But that was also in the morning. Like, it was on a. I think went in on a Sunday morning. Like, I, I do think that was exciting.
Matt Jones
And a lot of people watched it.
Ryan Lemond
I don't know that it had the
Matt Jones
build up that this one did. Right. Because it was, you know, it was in. It was in Italy. So it was a different time of day and all that kind of stuff.
Caller (various callers)
Yeah, well, I mean, I found it very, very compelling.
Matt Jones
Yes.
Caller (various callers)
It was a huge celebration on it. So the other part is. Yeah, the other part. Let's. Let's not act like FIFA isn't a corrupt organization all the way.
Matt Jones
I went to prison a few years ago. I mean, I think. I think we.
Caller (various callers)
Yeah,
Matt Jones
yeah. It's maybe the most corrupt organization.
Caller (various callers)
Right. And then also, in fairness, let's not act like it was a really good call or a legitimate wasn't.
Ryan Lemond
I'm on the side.
Caller (various callers)
Should have never had a red card.
Matt Jones
I totally agree with that. I appreciate the call.
Ryan Lemond
I'm on the side of the right result.
Matt Jones
Questionable process. Is that fair to say?
Shannon Ladue
Yeah, that should never happen. There's been 30 examples of much worse in this tournament that have gone uncalled.
Ryan Lemond
It's just when you quote from, like
Matt Jones
Shakespeare, that says something like the worst type of treason is the right result with the wrong reason.
Shannon Ladue
Oh, could you quote Bill?
Drew Franklin
Very, very philosophical.
Matt Jones
I don't remember.
Shannon Ladue
Should we put that on a T shirt for tonight?
Matt Jones
I don't. And it may not even be Shakespeare. That quote exists. I know it from somewhere. But in this case, it's not for me treason. It's. We have to win.
Shannon Ladue
Gotta win now.
Ryan Lemond
No, but we just. And we're an underdog. This is a sport where we're an underdog.
Matt Jones
Right? We never win.
Shannon Ladue
We're, like good at everything.
Matt Jones
But this, this is what we're not good at.
Ryan Lemond
So this is. If we're gonna cheat this, like if we cheated for the dream team in
Matt Jones
basketball, that would not be fair.
Shannon Ladue
And if we break through and we play Spain on Friday, people move on. Forget about this. Sorry about your luck, Belgium, but we'll get over it.
Matt Jones
What if. What if we win and Baligan scores three goals?
Shannon Ladue
Good odds on that. I've already been to score one. Let's do three.

Tech Sports Radio. T.S. eliot. The last act is the greatest treason. To do the right deed for the wrong reason. How about that call T.S.
Shannon Ladue
eliot.
Matt Jones
In the back of my brain, I don't know how I remember that, but it was something.
Shannon Ladue
You big TSLA person. You got more?
Matt Jones
No, that's the only.
Shannon Ladue
That's the one that's the one that stuck.
Matt Jones
You know what's funny is I can remember quotes from, like, 20 years ago, 30, 40 years ago. I can't remember my neighbor's names.
Drew Franklin
Well, you know, so when I was.
Matt Jones
When I was watching those fireworks, there was a couple that I met, and they introduced me, and they said, hey, these. This couple lives in your neighborhood. And I was like, oh, I definitely want to remember these people.
Caller (various callers)
Right?
Matt Jones
Because they live in my neighborhood. And they introduced themselves to me. And, you know, sometimes when you do, you just kind of. So then I actually asked them their name again because I was like, I want to remember these people wanted to stick. And 20 seconds later, I'd forgotten it again. And so I couldn't ask them. We can't ask them again. So I look at hubby and I go, okay, what are the names again? I want to remember these people because they live six houses from me. And he was like, I tell you how you can remember this. Their names are Corey and Lee. And you have a friend named Corey Lee.
Shannon Ladue
Now you won't forget.
Matt Jones
And now will not forget. Shane and I will remember their names forever. Yeah, because they're Corey and they're Lee,
Ryan Lemond
and I have a friend named Corey Lee.
Drew Franklin
Are Corey and Lee listeners of the show? Because now they know that you couldn't think of their name.
Matt Jones
Good point. Maybe shouldn't have said that. Maybe that's like Drew with the phone conversations with Kirk.
Shannon Ladue
I keep getting random phone calls from a number I don't have. Saved my trouble.
Drew Franklin
I have a few words with you.
Matt Jones
That's a good point, Shannon. That might have been a story for the Inside Voice.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, well, Corey, Corey, and Lee. Now you know how important it was
Matt Jones
to me to try to remember your name.
Spinquest Advertiser
Spin it.
Shannon Ladue
If they didn't matter, you'd be like, whatever, I don't need to know their names. You're Actively trying to store it in your brain.
Ryan Lemond
And then my friend Corey Lee, now
Shannon Ladue
I remember you're not the best with names. There's been many times where you've been like the hey, will you go introduce yourself and get their name?
Ryan Lemond
I do it all the time. I can't remember. I can't remember my boss's names.
Matt Jones
Like they'll come in here, I've met
Ryan Lemond
them many times and I will go, are they listening?
Matt Jones
Oh well, some of them got fired.
Ryan Lemond
But I would not be able to remember their names.
Drew Franklin
So when you meet somebody, it was it Bill Clinton that would say your name back.
Ryan Lemond
Bill Clinton.
Matt Jones
They said his great like strength was he could remember everyone's name. And you're right. He would meet you and he would. You'd go, I'm Matt. Hello Matt. And they said his brain, that was
Ryan Lemond
one of his great political strengths.
Matt Jones
He could meet somebody 25 years later, remember their name.
Shannon Ladue
That's a good thing to have.
Ryan Lemond
It's a great.
Shannon Ladue
I'm calling people by their name can go a long way.
Ryan Lemond
Looking people in the eye, calling them by their name.
Matt Jones
They like it. Or analogizing them to other friends. You have.
Drew Franklin
They also like that too.
Matt Jones
They like that too. Especially when you're on a radio show and you're right. Right now they're getting text messages going, matt is talking about you.
Shannon Ladue
But it's the effort you went to. You could have just gone on with your life and like whatever those two
Ryan Lemond
down the street now because Corey Lee.
Matt Jones
And now Corey Lee's probably getting text.
Shannon Ladue
I know a Corey Lee also is probably texting me.
Ryan Lemond
Same Corey Lee.
Spinquest Advertiser
Right?
Shannon Ladue
Different Corey Lee.
Matt Jones
Okay, so we know two Corey Lee's. Donnie. Go ahead, Donnie.
Donnie
Hello. How are you guys?
Caller (various callers)
Good, good.
Donnie
My name is Donnie from London, Kentucky. And I've got two quick things. First of all, I am blind. And this past Father's Day I received probably one of the greatest Father's Day gifts I've ever had in my 64 years of being on this earth. My two sons brought me to KSR Bar and Grill on Thursday before Father's Day. And I got to be there for your guys last broadcast from there. And it was.
Ryan Lemond
That was. Well, thank you. That was very.
Matt Jones
I think I knew you were there.
Ryan Lemond
So that. Yes, that was awesome and glad you
Matt Jones
got to be there.
Donnie
Yeah, I actually got a picture with you as we were.
Matt Jones
I remember that. Yes, I remember that.
Donnie
And the second, the second thing, I have never in my life listened to or watched a soccer game until this year. One of my blind friends told me about an app that you can get a FIFA adc. It stands for Audio Descriptive Commentary. And I downloaded that app and what they do, they describe everything. They describe what's going on on the field, what the fans are doing. They even have a segment after the game ends of what the teams are doing, how they're interacting, what's going on, and it is absolutely amazing. So if anybody out there is visually impaired, you can get this from the app Store. It's called FIFA ADC for Audio description Commentary.
Matt Jones
That's great, Donnie. Thank you very much and hope that
Ryan Lemond
there's probably somebody out there that.
Matt Jones
That will be helpful to. Appreciate the call, sir.
Donnie
All right. Thanks.
Matt Jones
Appreciate it. That is nice.
Ryan Lemond
You know, I have. It's funny he said that when I have. I thought about with. Because normally radio broadcasts are different than TV broadcasts, but for the soccer, they've just used the TV broadcast. You know, they don't say what's going

Matt Jones

Caller (various callers)
Yes, I was calling about the being able to hear the different frequencies of sound.
Matt Jones
Yes.
Caller (various callers)
I'm a retired. I'm a retired teacher, and back several years ago when all the kids started getting cell phones, you. The kids could hear a frequency that older people couldn't. Once you're 18, 19 years old, you lose the ability. So they said to hear that frequency. And the kids would set their phones to that frequency to ring or get a text.
Ryan Lemond
Oh, so that you wouldn't know.
Caller (various callers)
Yeah, I couldn't hear it. But the kids, every now and then, someone say, tell them, turn that phone off.
Matt Jones
Interesting.
Caller (various callers)
I didn't have any idea.
Matt Jones
Okay. I appreciate the call. That is kind of a sneaky thing those whipper snappers do.
Shannon Ladue
Wish I'd known about that trick.
Matt Jones
Yeah. Ryan, Go ahead, Ryan.
Caller (various callers)
Hey, Matt, I got two quick things for you.
Matt Jones
Got about a minute.
Caller (various callers)
There's a. There's a chef. His name is Thomas Straker. Looks exactly like Shannon Ladue.
Drew Franklin
And the second thing is add it to the list.
Caller (various callers)
You need to look him up. He. I mean, looks just like him. Second thing. What about pastor in Baton Rouge that beat the snot out of his neighbor? Have you read about this? No.
Matt Jones
Pastor beat the snot out of him. What did he do? What happened?
Caller (various callers)
Well, he had snot before and he had none after. You need to go watch the video.
All right.
Matt Jones
That. All right, I'll do that during the break. Baton Rouge pastor. Okay. Appreciate the call. I think that was in Ezekiel that you're allowed to beat up your neighbor.
Drew Franklin
Beat thy neighbor.

The crew keeps the episode informal, self-deprecating, and sharply witty, with a blend of Kentucky-centric references, open audience involvement, and running gags about age, neighborhood life, and sports quirks: “That might have been a story for the Inside Voice,” “Keep that in mind, that was a West Virginia team that went 9–23,” and “I'm America; I'm glad we benefitted from the corruption—let's just win.”
This episode offers a rich snapshot of Kentucky community life, quirky sports talk, and genuine camaraderie. Whether it’s dissecting the ethics of imported soccer controversy, telling stories of family and fandom, or unraveling local urban myths, KSR blends national moments with local flavor for a compelling hour.
“To do the right deed for the wrong reason.” – T.S. Eliot, as remembered by Matt [41:50]
