[Matt Jones]

Welcome back. Number two Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. I love this text on the text machine. 772-774-5254. One person writes, Matt, the answers of favorite and least favorite sportsc. So much about all of you. First of all, you took it 100% seriously and picked someone that you genuinely dislike.

[Shannon Dawson]

Correct.

[Matt Jones]

Drew had a really interesting story which he wouldn't give the details of.

[Drew Franklin]

I'll give the details. Which one for you.

[Matt Jones]

He just walked up to us, but do you remember what he said? I can't remember what he said.

[Caller/Listener]

I don't.

[Drew Franklin]

He like hovered over our table. We were like a nice dinner at Morton's in Indianapolis. I was with our friends Jamie, Jessica have nothing to do with the media. And you pulled up a chair because you had been there or just came by. He just walked over our table and hovered over like I got a problem or something. It's like, can we eat?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, he did say y' all got a problem.

[Drew Franklin]

Something like that.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. He's with Dan Wetzel, who we like. And Dan kind of pulled him away.

[Drew Franklin]

And then our friends like, who's this? What is he doing? Get away. We're trying to eat shrimp.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, there he goes. The other rest of the message says, Ryan picks someone completely random and dead and dead.

[Ryan Lemond]

Rest in peace.

[Matt Jones]

And then Shannon just takes a huge shot at someone. During the break, you all were doing various Cutler impressions, which I have to say was hilarious. You said do quickly what you said Cutler does during.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm a regular listener. I've picked up on all his quirks and his habits. But he'll do like an example. He'll, he'll like stretch out a word like moving on to but, but, but baseball.

[SpinQuest/MotoCasino Ad Voice]

Like, he'll Stretch it out.

[Caller/Listener]

He does.

[Drew Franklin]

It kind of adds to the. You know, he's a big energy guy. I've always thought if I did that I would sound like an idiot.

[Matt Jones]

Moving to la la la la. Familiar.

[Drew Franklin]

Like he'll emphasize a point by like doing like, you know, stretching out like that. And then you and I can do all of his ad.

[Matt Jones]

You did one too.

[Ryan Lemond]

I can't do it.

[Matt Jones]

He's my buddy.

[Drew Franklin]

Criticism.

[Matt Jones]

You're doing it in a loving way.

[Ryan Lemond]

We're going to be together Friday night.

[Drew Franklin]

Good.

[Matt Jones]

Perfect time. Go ahead. Just. What do you. What did he do?

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, you know, I've worked with him for a long time and I know when he's like. And he's tap dancing. He'll do that laugh when like he

[Matt Jones]

doesn't know what to say or thinking

[Ryan Lemond]

of the next question.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, Please record that.

[Ryan Lemond]

I love you, Alan.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, I'm the ones cutting on the whole time during the say a word about them.

[Drew Franklin]

I think it adds to the show.

[Matt Jones]

Yours was real though. Yours was not.

[Matt Jones]

[Matt Jones]

It's funnier having never heard the show. See, we're doing it out of love. We. Listen, you're making me cry, Jerry.

[Caller/Listener]

Go ahead.

[Matt Jones]

Jerry.

[Caller/Listener]

I'm waiting to tell you about. I've been waiting to help you out with la familia. We've got a player in Kentucky here. His. Carson Williams.

[Drew Franklin]

And he played at Northern, right?

[Matt Jones]

Didn't he play at Northern?

[Caller/Listener]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, right.

[Caller/Listener]

And he's still available and he's in great shape. Mario, he's running right now. He's running a basketball camp in Owington.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so Carson. Yeah, he's from Owen county, where Mario's been many times. Carson Williams is available for live. Where is he? Is he available? You're gonna. The assistant GM is right here. Yeah, if he's available. I'm not sure if we're still looking for extra players, but yeah, he.

[Caller/Listener]

He. Well, I noticed you had something to quit. You didn't have about 10, so I just thought I'd recommend somebody.

[Matt Jones]

Well, thank you very much. You know what? Maybe you'll set a match here. I appreciate the call, sir. Carson Williams was really good. They talked about him a lot. You. You remember, don't you, Ryan? He was a really good player.

[Ryan Lemond]

He was Mr. Basketball State of Kentucky, and they went and played well.

[Drew Franklin]

Am I misremembering? Didn't we run into him in the tournament when he was at Northern?

[Matt Jones]

Yes, we played him in the first round. We drew them in the first.

[Drew Franklin]

He doesn't fit the form. You have seven alums and four non alums. We have the four non alums, so we need former cats.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, he might have transferred in.

[Drew Franklin]

We can fake it.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, Cameron, we did with big Z.

[Drew Franklin]

Just get him in.

[Matt Jones]

Cameron, Go ahead.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, I wanted to give my 2 cents on the Kentucky mural. Tyler Eulis. I bleed and Tayshaw.

[Matt Jones]

I like that one. That's a good one. That's a good. First of all, the Tyler Eulis one. That's great. If you could make the eye bleed a little bit, that would be great. What was the other one you said, man?

[Caller/Listener]

Tayshawn Prince, North Carolina shrug.

[Matt Jones]

That is true. That's also a really good one. I appreciate the call. Those are two really good calls after he hits that last three. And it wasn't really a shrug. It was more like a. Yeah, you want some?

[Drew Franklin]

If we're going to go into the deep cuts. Demarcus Cousins. No. Putting his elbow into Jarrett Swatch our face in the first Kentucky.

[Matt Jones]

I actually like better with him.

[Drew Franklin]

That's good, too. I prefer the elbow into swap Char's face.

[Ryan Lemond]

We're gonna have to have another mural. We're coming up with all these great moments.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, we could. I mean, these are kind of iconic images, if you think about it, that, you know, Antoine Walker was on the COVID of Sports Illustrated dunking, and it was shot from below, so it looked like he was like a superhero. Yeah, that would be good.

[Ryan Lemond]

His shoulder shimmy.

[Shannon Dawson]

Oh, this?

[Matt Jones]

Well, dude, the shoulders. You know how many times I tried to do that on the Transylvania intramural court? I didn't make a lot of shots, so I didn't get to do it a lot.

[Ryan Lemond]

Patrick Sparks talking trash to Billy Packer. I mean, there's a bunch of these

[Drew Franklin]

things we can come up with pointing at him.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

On the table.

[Matt Jones]

Those are all good. But you got to get the actual image. You got to think about something. That is an image I like. If you could do the one of Willie Dunking over the guy at Florida.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You know, if you could catch that moment that he's kind of. And if. Even if you had Rock Oliver flex in there.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, just make that the whole mural. That's my favorite screen grab in history.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, those are good.

[Drew Franklin]

Cal kissing Liggins after the big win.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, we can't have Cal North Carolina until he retires. Jacob, Go ahead, Jacob.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, guys. I've been seeing a lot on players we could have that we almost recruited, like Tracy McGrady, Dark Nowitzki, Jermaine O'. Neal, who is the biggest impact player you think we missed out on that would have give us a good run.

[Matt Jones]

That would have actually come. You're talking about.

[Caller/Listener]

I mean.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, we were so good those years. I mean, Jermaine o' Neill for what. If you. If you want to know what he's talking about. Jermaine O' Neal did an interview where it was before the 96 season, the one we won the title. Patino went to recruit him and said, we'd love to have you, but you need to go to the draft. We're going to be good with you or we're going to be good without you. Which is a pretty confident thing to say. Cause Jermaine o' Neal ended up being a great player in the NBA.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Can you think, though I appreciate the call of somebody who didn't come here, who was going to.

[Ryan Lemond]

Who.

[Matt Jones]

It actually would have made a difference that Germain O', Neal, McGrady years. We were already really good those years. Maybe Dirk.

[Ryan Lemond]

Dirk Nowitzki. That's. They thought they had him.

[Matt Jones]

And that would have been.

[Ryan Lemond]

That was the 98. So been the 99 recruiting class.

[Matt Jones]

Exactly. That would have been the. The team after the national Tiger.

[Ryan Lemond]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

If you have dirt, maybe you keep going and keep winning them.

[Ryan Lemond]

I feel like the Tubby's two big misses were Dirk Nowitzki and Tyler Hansboro. He thought he had Tyler Hansbrough and that made him.

[Matt Jones]

Tyler Hansboro was a huge one.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

But Dirk Nowitzki, was it a miss. He just decided not to go to college. If he gone to college, I think he was coming here.

[Ryan Lemond]

I think so.

[Matt Jones]

But if you put Dirk on that, would he have been on the 98, 99 team? One that lost to Michigan State? If Dirk's on there could be a make a difference.

[Drew Franklin]

There's two caliper ones that I think started the spiral one was Cade Cunningham. We ended up with Devin Askew instead.

[Matt Jones]

That was. That was in Kate Cunningham's elite that was a downgrade.

[Drew Franklin]

And then Trey Young has said he would have gone to Kentucky if they didn't have quad A green.

[Matt Jones]

It would have been interesting to see what that would have been like.

[Drew Franklin]

He was crazy at Oklahoma, but remember,

[Matt Jones]

Shea Alexander was on that team.

[Drew Franklin]

It's true. Could have had both of them.

[Ryan Lemond]

Wow.

[Drew Franklin]

They kept him away.

[Matt Jones]

Are you all worried at all about the.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Contagious explosive diarrhea disease.

[Shannon Dawson]

I already knew where you're going with that.

[Ryan Lemond]

Of course I'm worried.

[Drew Franklin]

I think I've already had it, so I'm good.

[Matt Jones]

You haven't had it because they said it lasts for like a month.

[Drew Franklin]

I know a few people had cases, got out of it pretty quickly, but

[Matt Jones]

maybe it wasn't the same thing. This one, apparently, like, if you have it, you know, you wouldn't be able

[Shannon Dawson]

to do this show.

[Matt Jones]

You'd be running apparently so bad you can't even walk around.

[Drew Franklin]

You should have seen me Sunday night.

[Ryan Lemond]

And they think it's from, like, a parasite or something.

[Matt Jones]

They think it's from a parasite that's

[Shannon Dawson]

in, like, Taco Bell produce.

[Matt Jones]

Taco Bell, basically. Low level produce. So, like Taco Bell, the kind of lettuce that's in bags at the grocery.

[Shannon Dawson]

That's what got Drew. He loves.

[Drew Franklin]

So last week to get ready for a wedding, I ate bag salad for every meal except one meal. I didn't eat salad. I had Taco Bell.

[Matt Jones]

So you just tried.

[Drew Franklin]

I had about seven bag salads last week in one trip.

[Matt Jones]

Got through it after a day or two. I don't think that would be that bad. Like, that's as bad as it is. Like, the. What I've read is that people are, like, incapacitated for two weeks.

[Shannon Dawson]

That's.

[Ryan Lemond]

How do you even, like, get in a car and drive anywhere?

[Matt Jones]

Well, you don't.

[Drew Franklin]

Y' all should have seen how I got to Louisville. It took about three hours.

[Matt Jones]

You still got there. I'm saying, like, I you. That if you read the stories of these people, they, like, cannot move for a week or two. Yeah, maybe you did have. I'm not saying.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm just saying I didn't sleep all night Sunday. I was on the bathroom floor.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh.

[Matt Jones]

So are you worried about it, Shannon?

[Shannon Dawson]

A little bit, yeah. When you say explosive, how explosive are we talking about? Is it going to blow a hole in the porcelain?

[Matt Jones]

I mean, I've never heard of a diarrhea epidemic on the news.

[Shannon Dawson]

Explosive.

[Matt Jones]

Have you?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. For a news anchor to talk about explosive diarrhea on the news is kind of breaking Ground.

[Drew Franklin]

This comes up every summer, but it's like a hundred times as bad this summer for some reason.

[Matt Jones]

Now Taco Bell is saying it ain't us.

[Shannon Dawson]

Of course they are. Wasn't me.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, but I mean, Taco Bell. You could just say this always about Taco Bell.

[Shannon Dawson]

It goes.

[Ryan Lemond]

Kind of goes right through you.

[Drew Franklin]

The thing is, it's in produce. Who's getting produce at Taco Bell?

[Matt Jones]

Well, if you get a taco at Taco Bell, lettuce is on it.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You know, I mean, like, I think. I think that would be how it is.

[Shannon Dawson]

I'm going today. I'm going there for lunch. I'm going to attempt it. I'm going to test it out and see what happens.

[Matt Jones]

Well, you could argue like now is going to be when it's safest because they've been in the news is having the explosive diarrhea. Yeah, but they're saying, like, throw away all your. If you have bought bag lettuce in the last few weeks, throw it away. Are you going to do that?

[Ryan Lemond]

I don't have any bag lettuce.

[Shannon Dawson]

You act like Ryan eats healthy. All he eats is cheeseburgers every day anyway.

[Caller/Listener]

Right?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's not a cheeseburger yesterday.

[Drew Franklin]

It's not a contagious person to person. So as long as you're not eating

[Matt Jones]

produce, it's not contagious person.

[Drew Franklin]

It's only in the produce.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

I had great timing on salad week.

[Matt Jones]

Morgan, go ahead.

[Caller/Listener]

Morgan, can you hear me?

[Matt Jones]

Yes. Go for it.

[Caller/Listener]

Yes. I was wanting to put some input on the mural. Go for it. Many Phil dunk.

[Matt Jones]

I like that one. I like that one. I mean, that's. I, It's. It's still the most impressive dunk in UK history. But part of what makes that impressive is the fact that you watch him almost levitate. I'm not sure if that would translate to pictures, but maybe you make it to where it looks like he levitates as he's. But, but that's. Yeah. And the angle that they shot it at I think helps. So, yeah, you're. I like that one. Appreciate the call. I like that one. Give me, give me just one more cutler laugh.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay, Mario, just save that without context and use it randomly for things.

[Shannon Dawson]

Got a new drop.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, man.

[Drew Franklin]

Now do your tubby.

[Matt Jones]

I. Listen, I got it. Who's that?

[Ryan Lemond]

Tubby.

[Matt Jones]

Tubby Smith.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's a Tubby Smith laugh.

[Matt Jones]

Tubby Smith does that.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. We got another one.

[Matt Jones]

What's this one?

[Ryan Lemond]

Jonathan Davis is on Cutler show.

[Drew Franklin]

John's top three laughs Wait a minute.

[Matt Jones]

Jonathan Davis, that played at Kentucky?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. He's a regular guest show.

[Matt Jones]

You have to be the only person on earth with an impression of Jonathan Davis.

[Ryan Lemond]

Drew knows this is. Come on, nail it. And then Kelly's going,

[Shannon Dawson]

sounds like a great show.

[Drew Franklin]

Mario, I think we got a top three laugh social media posts for you this afternoon.

[Matt Jones]

Who has an impression of Jonathan Davis's laugh? It's perfect, isn't it, Andy? Go ahead, Andy. Mario's crying. I don't know who any of these people are. Go ahead.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, this question, I want all y'

their eating, use their eating habits and

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back Ty Sports Radio. I love people but keep sending stuff for the mural. I like Bogan and Fitch popping their jerseys.

[Ryan Lemond]

Florida that's a good one with Tubby.

[Matt Jones]

That's one of my favorites.

[Ryan Lemond]

It is a good one. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Somebody jorts. Throwing the ball at selling.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's another good one.

[Matt Jones]

Also a good one. One person writes, what if we had gotten Larry Bird? I mean, that would obviously have been. How close was that? You always hear people talk about it, but was that, like, really a close thing?

[Ryan Lemond]

I don't know really the details about it, and I didn't know much about. Until he brought it up in an interview recently or the last couple years. So I don't know the story.

[Matt Jones]

Mural McGlore breaking Wojo's back.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, that's another good one.

[Matt Jones]

That's a. That's actually a really good. Yeah, you have Wojo sitting there whining on the mural.

[Ryan Lemond]

See, we need. We need more murals. We need, like six or seven of these with all these moments, and none

[Matt Jones]

of them need to have jelly Roll.

[Ryan Lemond]

About Adam Carolla.

[Matt Jones]

What was that? An Adam Carolla mural. Might be the most random thing I've ever heard in my life.

[Ryan Lemond]

0 Lexington connection?

[Matt Jones]

There's no Lexington connection. He's not that big.

[Ryan Lemond]

But it's down there by the Manchester district.

[Matt Jones]

Is it a big mural that's the

[Ryan Lemond]

size of one of the Jelly Roll one?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, it's pretty big. I think maybe we did a Hay Kentucky piece there. It's been there.

[Matt Jones]

Does he own the. Why is it there?

[Ryan Lemond]

I don't have an answer. I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

That is so weird.

[Ryan Lemond]

John Prines on the one outleased Town Road.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. But again, he's a big star and he wrote the song about Kentucky.

[Ryan Lemond]

Exactly. At least there's a little Kentucky connection.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm pretty sure Jelly Roll went up right before. Either he was at one of the festivals or at Rupp Arena. I don't know why it stayed for the next five years. Yeah, but that was how it originated.

[Caller/Listener]

Hi, Matt. This is Marilyn Mar. I'm from Po County.

That's okay, ma'. Am.

Myself, my husband Lonnie and Patrick live in Po county. And Could I just tell you something real quick? I'll be real quick.

[Matt Jones]

Go for it.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay, great. Our son has autism. He. He's immersed in UK basketball because my husband just bleeds blue. He loves to travel. So in 2024, we took Pat to every county in the state of Kentucky and let him shoot a basketball wherever we could find a goal.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Caller/Listener]

Yes. And we did it in less than 120 days.

[Matt Jones]

Wow. So you would just go drive around, find a goal in a county, and he would shoot a basketball. Did you take a picture or a video?

[Caller/Listener]

Pictures, videos. Every documented. Everyone. And dad took a shot, too, but we. We just kind of circled around Powell county until we worked our way all the eastern counties and northern counties, and then we worked our way out west,

[Matt Jones]

and that's really neat. So what was your favorite place where he shot

[Caller/Listener]

the. The favorite park we shot was in Paducah.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

And it was the. I think it's the Bob Parker Park.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

But it's just an amazing place. Amazing place. We're usually spending, like 15. 15 minutes at the most at a park, and we.

[Matt Jones]

Did you ever go to somebody's house and do it?

[Caller/Listener]

We did not.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

No. I used Google Earth and I could look down at. At parks, names that I could find, and you can see the basketball goals. So we just.

[Matt Jones]

What a neat thing to do with your family, Marilyn. I think that's very cool. And what's your son's name again?

[Caller/Listener]

It's Patrick.

[Matt Jones]

Well, shout out to Patrick and Marilyn. Thank you very much for sharing that.

[Caller/Listener]

Well, you're welcome. Thanks for letting me share it.

[Matt Jones]

Of course. There you go. What a cool story.

[Ryan Lemond]

What a sweet and touching story that parents did for that young man in

[Matt Jones]

every county, all 120.

[Drew Franklin]

That's really sweet. Can we get him in Rup. Let's get him a shot. And Rup. I know he already hit fake.

[Matt Jones]

Maybe listening to that. That's a. That's such a neat story. And, like, I loved. I've had a lot of people tell me some form of. That they've done something or gone to every county after reading my book or hearing that. And I highly recommend it. And making that, like, so personal where you're doing that with your. Your son, and that's. What an awesome story. How very uplifting. Mike. Go ahead, Mike.

[Caller/Listener]

Yes, I know this may not be an Ask Anything Wednesday, but I'm off today. Just two quick questions. Number one, on the volleyball teams, there's one player that wears a different color jersey than the rest why is that? Second question is, who won the College World Series?

[Matt Jones]

Oklahoma won the College World Series.

[Ryan Lemond]

Right. Came out of nowhere to win it.

[Matt Jones]

And then the. What's the name of the person that does the other jersey? It's called libero. Libero. And there are rules we learned about, like where they can stand and they don't serve. They don't serve. And so they have different rules. Their job is to basically dig.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. They can't go above the net, I think.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. So they have just have different rules, but I think they get to roam around and stand in different places, etc. I appreciate the call. Somebody who knows more specifics can tell

[Drew Franklin]

me they sub in and out without limitations.

[Matt Jones]

We did get Andy's question about if we could for 24 hours live, another person's life on the show, who would you pick? I would pick Ryan because I would like to have Ryan's outlook on life for 24 hours. 24 hours where like, you just walk through live, Shannon. Or like, yay.

[Shannon Dawson]

Everything's happy.

[Matt Jones]

Everything's happy. Like, you don't have worries, but you

[Shannon Dawson]

don't want to bend at him. Like when he was going through his

[Matt Jones]

issues those 24 hours in the hospital, I mean, if I got to choose the 24 hours.

[Tab Ramos]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

But I like, he's very content in life. What about you, Ryan?

[Ryan Lemond]

I was going through this in my head. Drew just has a baby, so 24 hours. You got to get up early, take care of a baby. Shannon gets up at like 4:30 in the morning.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

So I'm gonna eliminate those two guys. They are. They have to get up real early. So I'm down to you and Billy and Mario.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

Being with you, you got to put up with a lot of crap. People messing with you online.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

So now I'm down to Mario and Billy. I'm not sure what Billy does after the pre show.

[Matt Jones]

That's a great.

[Shannon Dawson]

That's exactly the answer.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, yeah. I may go with Billy. He works for an hour a day.

[Shannon Dawson]

Perfect answer. That's my answer. You work for an hour a day and then you sit in the sauna the rest of the day.

[Matt Jones]

We'll get Drew's in just a second. We'll be right back.

[iHeartMedia Ad Voice]

T.J. smith, personal injury attorney.

[Ryan Lemond]

Call TJ.

[Matt Jones]

He'll make him pay.

[Shannon Dawson]

Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

[Matt Jones]

You just did another. You thought of another Cutler line.

[Shannon Dawson]

Go ahead.

[Matt Jones]

He's gonna get some PT plane time. Somebody says got good feet.

[Ryan Lemond]

He's got Good feet, good hands, good feet.

[Matt Jones]

Feet, feet, feet, feet, feet, feet.

[Drew Franklin]

You could fill in for him and no one would even know that he took a day off.

[Ryan Lemond]

He did a. Well, I can't. I guess I can do it. He did a commercial for years. I used to impersonate him all the time.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Ryan Lemond]

I've been going to chiropractors on and off over 50 years. Been lucky to have found a few good ones. But nothing compares to the treatment I received at Abastecki Chiropractic. They're the best. I have seen.

[Matt Jones]

I have seen.

[Ryan Lemond]

I love you, Allen.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know why I think that's so funny. 859-280-2287. Who would you. Whose life would you live for?

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, very, very easy. Didn't even have to think about it. My guy Ryan here. My favorite thing that Ryan has are routine afternoon naps. I don't know that I've had an

[Matt Jones]

afternoon nap in five years. After a nice nap, like, every afternoon,

[Ryan Lemond]

I plan my day around scheduling an afternoon nap.

[Matt Jones]

And how quickly can you just lay down and fall asleep?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, I took one yesterday for about an hour.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh,

[Matt Jones]

and just lay down and fall asleep?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yep. Immediately.

[Caller/Listener]

Your brain.

[Matt Jones]

Your brain doesn't race.

[Ryan Lemond]

Shuts off.

[Matt Jones]

It's got to be so easy to shut your brain off.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, it's got to be like, I have to, like, ramp down and I have to, like. For you, you can just. Just flip it off.

[Ryan Lemond]

See, yoga girl's that way. She's got to have her me. Time to kind of wind down like you.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, you're just.

[Ryan Lemond]

Put my head in the pillow and I'm out.

[Shannon Dawson]

I'm with you.

[Drew Franklin]

So for me, it's naps in his backyard. Pool is amazing. I would love to have a day with the pool and an afternoon nap.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Except now that I know what you do in that pool and all that, I'm not as interested in being in it.

[Shannon Dawson]

You got your own now. You don't need his.

[Matt Jones]

That's true. Although mine continues. Like, I. I am in a war with bugs in my pool. Well, I mean, it's just. They just, you know, the guy comes once a week, so I bought one of these little skimmers that floats around, but then it gets stuck in the shallow and I have to sit there and move it. I was like, I bought you to do it on your own. I'm not out here to drag you around. It was expensive, too.

[Drew Franklin]

Did you hear from anybody in the neighborhood yesterday?

[Matt Jones]

They don't. Nobody calls Me.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

But I've heard people. I did look outside, saw some more walkers last night.

[Shannon Dawson]

More people.

[Matt Jones]

I think there were some people. We'll see, we'll see when my application for membership comes up, if that comment hurt me. So the House passed the daylight Savings time bill.

[Ryan Lemond]

Did.

[Matt Jones]

What's fascinating me about this bill now the Senate hasn't passed it yet. What's fascinating me about this bill is there seems to be no partisan lean. Like half the people for it are Republicans and half against the Republicans, half that are for it are Democrats and half that are against it are Democrats. So it's literally. I like it cuz it's just like what do you think of this issue? There's no, well, what am I supposed to do? Right. I had a, I had the hardest time racking my brain as to what we're actually, what it's going to do. All right. So essentially we are doing daylight savings time now, which means the time we have now.

[Ryan Lemond]

Correct.

[Matt Jones]

Which means no falling back. Okay. So we will be staying forward. The people that are against it seem to be senators that represent time zones where the, where they are at the very edge of the time zone late. So to give you an example, I think people's worry is that like in Lexington, like Lexington and Louisville seem to be the people that are most concerned because the sun will rise so late here. Does that make sense?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes. Right.

[Matt Jones]

Because it's so like the, from what I understand, the sun in the winter, if we do this will rise at like 8:30 in the morning.

[Ryan Lemond]

Right. So I mean your kids at the

[Matt Jones]

bus and dark, it gets closer to nine. So if you go look at the senators that are voting against it, they're all people who represent states that have a time zone that is the far west before it gets to another time zone. So for instance, the Kentucky people are against it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Indiana.

[Matt Jones]

Indiana. Whereas the people on the eastern side, like New York, Florida, they're for it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Because right now in the winter the sun rises at like 4 in the morning. So knowing that, that it will have an effect on us where yes, it will stay, it'll stay light in the winter until 7, 7:30. But are you, is it going to be weird that you're going to have to go to work in the dark?

[Ryan Lemond]

Pretty much everyone, Me personally, that's what I would prefer. Dark in the morning, more sunlight in the afternoon or rain.

[Matt Jones]

Kids.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's the, that's the whole sticky point. I don't have kids. I know parents that do have kids, they don't want Your kids standing out in the dark, they get street lights.

[Shannon Dawson]

Okay. Street lights have lighted up.

[Matt Jones]

So you're for it?

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, I'm for it. I go to. Yeah, it's dark when I go to work anyway, so what do I care about.

[Matt Jones]

Apparently we've done this before.

[Ryan Lemond]

Seems like every couple years it comes up or something.

[Matt Jones]

70s they passed this and apparently everyone hated it. And then they immediately, like three years later, flipped, switched it back. So is that going to happen again?

[Drew Franklin]

I think the kid at the bus stops and walking to school should be a deal breaker. I mean, I used to walk pretty far to school at a young age. The thought of doing that in the darkness and I'm not even growing up in that dangerous an area. I think that causes more problems than the benefits of us being able to walk the neighborhood later at night or do our yard work.

[Matt Jones]

I don't think I realize that the people most adversely affected are like us.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Are like these people who are at the far edge, the far western edge

[Ryan Lemond]

of their time of the eastern time

[Matt Jones]

zone or the far western edge of the central time zone. So if you are at the far western edge of the time, and that's a lot of listeners to this show, I mean Louisville is kind of the far western edge of the eastern time zone. So it will get. It will. The sun will come up. The latest in Louisville.

[Ryan Lemond]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

So the guy most against it is that Tom Cotton and he's the senator from Arkansas who has this exact same issue. So it's kind of interesting.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's tough when most adults I think, would prefer to have more of the sunlight in the afternoon.

[Matt Jones]

But if you live in Bowling Green, this is probably the best thing you could ask for.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Because in Bowling Green now the sun will rise at a reasonable time and you're going to have more darkness or, excuse me, more light at night, I think. Am I right about that?

[Shannon Dawson]

Well, it gets dark like 4:30 there.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. So now it'll be later.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

So they're probably for it. So it's odd. I bet people in Lexington, Louisville are probably against it. But people in Bowling Green would probably love it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Bowling Green, Owensboro, some of those, Western Madisonville.

[Matt Jones]

Because if you're at the far eastern side of a time zone, this helps you a lot.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's why all the east coast states

[Matt Jones]

now are all the east coast states

[Shannon Dawson]

for that start that central time when you would normally. Like I said before 30, you're getting dark in Kentucky.

[Matt Jones]

You could see where half our state's going to be against it. But Half our state will like it.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I saw the map. It goes right down the middle of Kentucky.

[Matt Jones]

So anyway, we'll see. It's going to be in the Senate. Nobody's sure if it's going to pass or not. It passed in the House, but if you go look at the votes, it was complete. It's all. It's the first vote I can remember. That's all geography. It's not party, it's geography.

[Ryan Lemond]

So interesting.

[Matt Jones]

Rodney. Go ahead, Rodney.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, guys, two questions. Matt, we used to hear a lot about, especially in Coach Cow's early days, about these legendary pickup games that would happen in Lexington before the season started. Does that still happen? And was there really a ruckus between DeMarcus Cousins and Tyler Eulis and what happened? That's all I have. Thank you.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. So they. I think they do happen, but it's not as legendary. Like all the guys don't come. I mean, I know last year the TBT team played the UK team that was there.

[Drew Franklin]

Supposed to this week, but I don't think we have enough people.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Yes, that did Happen. Yes. Tyler, us and DeMarcus cousins got into it. DeMarcus would, from what I understand, Drew, he would kind of go at it with all the new guys. Just is like a welcome to Kentucky.

[Drew Franklin]

I think Booker was involved on the Euless side too. Those are three guys that are going to stand up for themselves whatever's going on.

[Matt Jones]

I think people have. There's no player in Kentucky history that I think his public Persona matches less of what he is than Devin Booker. Like, I think people think Devin Booker is a sweetheart, but he ain't a sweetheart.

[Ryan Lemond]

He's an assassin.

[T-Mobile Ad Voice]

And he.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I mean he's not a bad dude. Is in like a bad guy. He's a bad dude.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Like you. I mean. And so is Tyler.

[Drew Franklin]

They came in as like best friends. So they had each other's back in that.

[Matt Jones]

Like Ulysses and Booker. I mean, I don't think. I think people's image of what like they're two of the. Two of the harder dudes that have been here.

[Drew Franklin]

They have that dog in them. Some might say.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. And I don't know. And I don't think that's what people think. I think they. Maybe they think about it Tyler, but they don't think that about Devin Booker.

[Ryan Lemond]

He said because his public Persona is nice. Good looking guy, easygoing.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Dates Kylie Jenner.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

And he is nice. Like he was great.

[Matt Jones]

Very nice.

[Drew Franklin]

But like if you cross him, it's. It's not just going to pass easy.

[Matt Jones]

And they were, the two of them,

[Drew Franklin]

they both had a chip on their shoulder because the Harrison twins stayed. And then all of a sudden you got DeMarcus Cousins trying to bully you and they did not back down.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. So yes, that happened. And those were, I mean, I went to some of those games in the early years and they were awesome. I mean they were like, they were fun to watch. You never knew who was going to show up. Sometimes guys from other teams would show up, but we were under a strict embargo not to talk about them. We, we weren't allowed to go unless we didn't say we had seen it.

[Ryan Lemond]

There's one thing good about these father son camps. The guys would scrimmage after the camp was over.

[Matt Jones]

That wasn't the real ones. The real ones were the ones in the practice facility.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Where they really went at.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

And I went a couple times and they did say, you can't even say you were here. But they were something else.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You know, the famous one is the Thunder playing the 2012 team. But there were others throughout the years.

[Drew Franklin]

I think it's ended but you know, with Caliper being gone. But I wish those guys would still come back in the summer because it, I mean they were stars in the NBA, would still come back to work out with each other in Lexington and it would just be absolute battles.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back Techy Sports Radio. This is what it's going to Be like now, about three in the day. One person writes on the text machine map. Breckenridge county has both eastern and central time. We call it fast time and slow time, depending on what part of the county you're in.

[Ryan Lemond]

I grew up in fast time and slow time.

[Matt Jones]

My grandma used to say fast time and slow time.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

It'd be hard if the county split in half.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You know, how do you even do that?

[Drew Franklin]

It seems like it'd get confused.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I would think so.

[Ryan Lemond]

I've said this before. I was in a weird county where we never, ever changed the clocks. We were in fast time half the year. We were slow time half the year. Never changed.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. Fast time.

[Drew Franklin]

So you're used to this.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Well, it's not going to be chaos now because there'll never be any spring forward fallback. I always hate because we always spring forward at the SEC tournament. And I always hated when we would make the finals, which hadn't been in a long time. That Sunday morning pregame show would come really early.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, my.

[Drew Franklin]

I've been at the bar a few times when that realization happens both ways. Either you get the extra hour when you fall back.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, that would be such a fun night. You're falling back now. You're not going to get either one of those. If this passes, but it's not certain it's going to pass.

[Ryan Lemond]

So it's got. It's past the House. It's got to pass the Senate, right?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, you got to pass the Senate, but that requires 60 votes sometimes. So I.

[Ryan Lemond]

Why don't we just leave it the way it is?

[Shannon Dawson]

Well, that's the. What we're trying to do.

[Ryan Lemond]

I know.

[Shannon Dawson]

Leave it with.

[Matt Jones]

Well, no.

[Ryan Lemond]

Every couple years.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. If we leave it the way it is, we're still changing back and forth.

[Ryan Lemond]

Just leave it. Just leave it.

[Matt Jones]

But I don't know what that meant. They. That could mean anything. Leave it the way it is. Like leave it to time the way it is or leave the law the way it is.

[Ryan Lemond]

Leave the time the way it is. Just keeping.

[Matt Jones]

That would mean passing the law.

[Ryan Lemond]

Then do it. Do it and then forget about it.

[Drew Franklin]

I think you just contradicted yourself, though.

[Matt Jones]

I think you just said both things. Do you want to have. Do you want to spring forward and fall back or not? No.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

All right. So then you would pass this?

[Ryan Lemond]

I would pass it.

[Matt Jones]

I have a feeling if he was in Congress, he would forget which way he was supposed to vote on the way there.

[Shannon Dawson]

And just.

[Drew Franklin]

With Ryan would be very easy.

[Matt Jones]

He'd be like, what am I doing again?

[Drew Franklin]

Be easy to get him to flip to yourself.

[Shannon Dawson]

What do I really think?

[Matt Jones]

He's copying off the person doing an interview with the press where he goes, all right, what do I think again?

[Ryan Lemond]

What did I just vote for?

[Caller/Listener]

What do you think?

[Matt Jones]

I could totally see you saying, what do I think? Terry and Shepherdsville, go ahead.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah. After all the years of listening and calling the show, I never thought two people could be as far apart musically as me and you, Matt. But. And I wrote all that off to age difference. I'll be 64 on August 28th. And.

[Matt Jones]

But you have the same birthday, Terry.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And. But you have pulled two songs in the last six months. And actually last week into the mystic by Van Morrison. I never thought that would be a song. You liked it. Said it. You said it was one of your favorite.

[Matt Jones]

It's my favorite song. I mean, it's only in the top three. Yes.

[Caller/Listener]

And then last week when you all were talking about covers, sad songs and waltzes by Keith. Willie is probably.

[Matt Jones]

I like those two songs. Why would you think we don't have similar music tastes? I mean, I've always liked Keith Whitley and I've always like into the Mystic.

[Caller/Listener]

Well, we do. And we do. We have some. We both like Chestnut. We both like Yokum. Although I will say on Yocum he needs to file that Purple Rain cover because that is awful.

But.

And then. And then one comment to Drew, you have a newborn. All they do is sleep. You should be able to get all the naps that you want. And I'll have the list.

[Matt Jones]

Appreciate the call.

[Drew Franklin]

It's not true. I go straight here and have website obligations that keep me pretty busy.

[Matt Jones]

Drew is a very busy guy. You may not see it because it just seems like the. But Drew is essentially has two jobs. Just like. Just like I do. Ryan has half a job and when

[Drew Franklin]

I finish my second job, it is now washing bottles. And I'd say about that job at 10 o' clock I can be like, all right, what's 30 minute show?

[Matt Jones]

I can watch Drew. Go ahead.

[Caller/Listener]

Drew.

[Lady Luck (SpinQuest Advertiser)]

Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

So we always, you know, we had the free Enos and the. The free Big Z. I think the mural should. We should take Mario's post about free Krishna and put it up. I'll hang up here.

[Matt Jones]

I didn't take that down. Mario either. You leaving it up there. The free Kirk Risa, you just. Are you standing by that?

[Drew Franklin]

Can he play?

[Ryan Lemond]

He's not in jail yet.

[Shannon Dawson]

What about Irene? Maybe she can play.

[Matt Jones]

He is on bail. He can play.

[Drew Franklin]

He knows how to get 2 million. That's tr.

[SpinQuest/MotoCasino Ad Voice]

True.

[Matt Jones]

That is true. All right, so I'm gone Thursday, Friday, and next week, here's what we're doing. I've told Ryan, Drew, Mario, and Billy. They're all going to get the chance to sit in the big chair.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, you told me that, too.

[Matt Jones]

And Shannon. I thought I said that. Ryan, Drew, Shannon, and Billy.

[Shannon Dawson]

Mario.

[Matt Jones]

Mario's not sitting. Okay, well, Mario's out of the big chair. Ryan, Drew, Shannon, and Billy. And then Maggie is going to come sit in the big chair with you all too.

[Ryan Lemond]

Nice.

[Matt Jones]

So over the course of the next seven days, everybody has their opportunity. They each have a different day. Let's see if I can go over this real quick. Billy is tomorrow. Drew is Friday. Then Billy is Monday. Drew's Tuesday. Shannon Wednesday, Maggie Thursday, Ryan Friday. So every now everybody will still be on the show, but different people are going to drive every day. And Ryan, it gives everybody a shot to see who. Who's driving.

[Ryan Lemond]

Summer shows, man, they kind of go off the rails a lot of times. So I'm anxious to see how excited to see where it all goes.

[Drew Franklin]

Speaking of this Friday, that was supposed to be my current review. I was already counting on.

[Matt Jones]

We're gonna have Kerr here. That's.

[Drew Franklin]

That's been canceled.

[Shannon Dawson]

You lost a segment or two there.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Work on a backup plan for Friday. So it begins tomorrow.

[Ryan Lemond]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

And then, you know, everybody can. Of those five people, see who. Who's driving. Driving the best.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, have fun on your trip. I know it's kind of a big

[Matt Jones]

[Drew Franklin]

Have you seen the tweet from six years ago that says Spain beats Argentina 3 to 2 in the 2026 World cup final?

[Matt Jones]

I have not.

[Drew Franklin]

It's out there. So I think we got to roll with Argentina and see if that goes through.

[Matt Jones]

Gotcha.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm going with England.

[Shannon Dawson]

Why?

[Ryan Lemond]

They're big.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. That's not.

[Shannon Dawson]

Give me Argentina. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

In 1986, these two teams played in a famous game where Maradona scored with the hand of God. He. He punched the ball in, and it was before replay, and when it was over, they were like, did you punch the ball in and he said no, it was the hand of God. So England today gets their revenge on the hand of God. 30 years later. I love it and gets the victory. There you go. Thank you folks very much for listening. I will see you on the 27th.
