Key Discussion Points & Notable Segments

1. UK Football Ticket Giveaway: Interactive Call-in Contest

(Starts ~03:44)

• Matt Jones kicks off a unique trivia contest for “Will Stein’s debut” UK football game tickets, drawing directly from personal ticket stash.
• Unlike regular trivia, listeners must guess how many UK football All-SEC players since 2011 that Ryan Lemon can name.
• The game’s twist: Contestants eliminate each other based on their predictions as Ryan attempts to answer.

Quotes:

• "You don't even have to know the answers. You just have to know if you think Ryan is going to know the answers." – Matt Jones (05:03)

---

2. Debrief: Matt Jones' ESPN National Radio Debut

(06:04–12:52)

• Matt recounts a stressful first ESPN national radio show: tech glitches, camera confusion, and the prospect of hosting solo when co-host Myron nearly failed to connect.
• Hilarious self-deprecation: Matt realizes national broadcasters often “don’t know anything”—just like them.
• Belt (literal) mishap: a championship belt falls off his set 40 seconds before air.

Quotes:

• “Fifteen minutes before they call me and say, you may have to go solo on your first day, Shannon, I almost cried.” – Matt Jones (07:47)
• “Nobody knows anything. Sports, politics. When people talk, they're all stupid. All right? Nobody knows any.” – Matt Jones (13:36)

---

3. Game Segment: “How Many UK Football All-SEC Players Can Ryan Name?”

(~21:04–26:57)

• Ryan struggles, only correctly naming a few and missing stars like Benny Snell and Chris Rodriguez.
• Listeners’ faith in Ryan wavers—Judy, who guessed he'd get 10, is eliminated.

Notable Playful Barbs:

• “There’s two that literally my mother could name. How are you so bad at this?” – Matt Jones (24:32)
• “The answer is don't believe in Ryan.” – Matt Jones (26:51)

---

4. Game Segment: “How Many Words Will Ryan Miss from the UK Fight Song?”

(27:03–30:44)

• Listeners guess how many lyrics Ryan will botch singing the fight song.
• Ryan's repeated incorrect lines quickly accrue missed words—Lou, who guessed 4 misses, is eliminated after Ryan hits 19 wrong.

---

5. Game Segment: “UK Football Ring of Honor” Challenge

(31:22–36:27)

• Initial confusion leads to a pivot: Instead of number of Ring of Honor members, Ryan gets to see how many he can name—listeners guess the total before he starts.
• Ryan impresses briefly with deep-cut legends then stalls, missing stars like Bear Bryant, Sonny Collins.
• Jared from Lexington wins by guessing 14 for Ryan’s total; Ryan actually hits 13.

Quote:

• "Honestly, I thought I was going to get to the Rich Brooks era and just nail about 10 more guys and then none of them are in in the ring of honor.” – Ryan Lemon (39:51)

---

6. Debate: Retiring Jerseys/Ring of Honor — Too Old? Not Enough Modern Players?

(38:28–46:23)

• The crew laments that UK hasn’t honored recent stars in football or basketball since the '90s.
• Suggested: Put Tayshaun Prince, Craig Yeast, Jacob Tamme, Wesley Woodyard, and others up next.

Quotes:

• “It’s ridiculous. We have no basketball players that have played since 1996 and we have no football players that have played since 1998.” – Matt Jones (45:45)

---

7. UK Basketball: Potential Roster Boosts via 5th-Year Ruling

(46:58–52:48)

• New NCAA legal ruling allows some 5th/6th-year players to move/play (with portal entry, no pro contract, or same team status).
• Crew discusses:
  • Michigan State’s Jaxon Kohler (likely BYU-bound)
  • Keyshawn Hall (Auburn transfer, prolific scorer, possible “locker room” baggage)
  • Mark Mitchell (Missouri)—proven high scorer
• Possibility that Kentucky becomes the “most expensive roster in the country” if they sign a top guy with remaining NIL funds.
• Emphasis on urgency and real pressure: If UK spends the most, results—like a Final Four—are overdue.

Quotes:

• “If we were to go get. Spend $3 million on somebody, we'd probably be the most expensive roster in the country.” – Matt Jones (50:50)
• “If I told you you could have Kohler or him, I might go Kohler. I see. I might, too, because … the defense. But he could rebound.” – Matt Jones (49:50)
• “We will be good, but we will not be Kentucky. I want to get back to a Final Four.” – Drew (49:43)

---

Memorable Moments & Quotes

• Matt’s candid rant on sports radio ignorance:

  • “Nobody knows anything. Sports, politics. When people talk, they're all stupid.” (13:36)

• Lighthearted self-owning by Ryan Lemon during trivia:

  • “Most of my guys are before 2011.” (23:39)

• Fan engagement classic KSR style:

  • Playful caller eliminations, bet-against-Ryan strategy pays off.

• Honoring the past vs. the now:

Tone & Style

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. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Tuesday, August 4th. I am Matt Jones here on a beautiful day in Lexington, Kentucky. You can give us a shout. Clark's pump and shop phone line, 859-280-2287. A Vision auto glass text machine is 772. What's the next one?

[Ryan Lemon]

774. 5254.

[Matt Jones]

Look at that. When kids come up because, like, their parents will say, do the intro. And they know those numbers at some reason. Makes me happy.

[Ryan Lemon]

They know your intro word for word in this dish.

[Matt Jones]

And sponsored by the TJ Smith law office. You call tj. He'll make them pay. Okay, so I'm going to start with this. I'm going to do something special.

[Drew]

Drew. Okay.

[Matt Jones]

I'm going to give great seats for the first UK football game. Will Stein's debut. Great seats from Matthew Harper Jones.

[Drew]

All right.

[Matt Jones]

These are from my personal stash.

[Ryan Lemon]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

But here's what we have to do.

[Ryan Lemon]

All right?

[Matt Jones]

We're going to play. I got this UK football fact book,

[Ryan Lemon]

kind of like their media guide.

[Matt Jones]

Their media guide. Last night I went through and found trivia questions. But the thing is, you can't play trivia with people because they can cheat, Shannon. Like you do when you're sitting in the studio, you're looking right at me.

[Shannon]

I never cheat.

[Matt Jones]

But we can play. How many of these questions does Ryan Lemon know the answer to?

[Ryan Lemon]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

All right. So the quest. The contestants will just be deciding whether Ryan will get these right or not. It's a peak inside Ryan's brain. So you have to call now. 859-280-2287. First six people on there will get to be contestants. We will slowly eliminate them and you're going to get seats These are good seats. And as a of fact, the winner is also going to get a little special gift from me at the game.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, wow.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. So seats to the game, a little special gift from Matthew Harper Jones and all you. You don't even have to know the answers. You just have to know if you think Ryan is going to know the answers. And as people know, if you. If you play a game on this show, it rarely works.

[Drew]

Where'd you stay last night, Ryan? Just so people know, I did not

[Ryan Lemon]

stay in a holiday express.

[Matt Jones]

When you're guessing, it's good info. When you're guessing what to put, you're going to have to remember he did not stay at a hol and express last night. So get on in. There are some phones ringing, but there's still a couple lines. 8592802. Because again, on the streaming, some of y' all ain't getting this. This, in some ways is a little bit of a bonus for the people that listen over the air. Get in quickly because you might be able to get in quickly, but we will have the contestants here in a minute. Guys, good to see you. Yesterday was media day. Yesterday was a busy, very hectic day. I rewarded myself with some chicken salad chick.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, nice. Love that place in the evening. Yes.

[Matt Jones]

And then we were good. But it. It was a hectic day yesterday.

[Drew]

I tuned in for your big debut.

[Matt Jones]

It was, well, just even going out to the football stadium for the first part and then the espn. It was hectic.

[Drew]

Draining that social battery at Kroger Field before your big debut. I enjoyed your setup. Look good. You admire. Did a good job. I caught 80% of the show.

[Matt Jones]

All right, let me. Let me just say something. You know how over the years we've talked about I heart and things not working and all that.

[Ryan Lemon]

I'm familiar.

[Matt Jones]

And we're like, how in the world can you put on a radio show? I'm doing an impression of myself. How in the can you put on a radio show and not, you know, this isn't the only place that struggles.

[Ryan Lemon]

Nope.

[Matt Jones]

What. What a cluster.

[Ryan Lemon]

Used to be a saying in our business. There are bigger stations. They all have the same problem.

[Matt Jones]

Believable. I mean, it probably wasn't a smart decision, Drew, for me not to even paint and build the room until the weekend before. That may have been an issue, but it was mar. If I didn't have Mario yesterday, I'd still be trying to get on there.

[Drew]

Good job, Mario.

[Ryan Lemon]

How tight did it get from airtime?

[Matt Jones]

We started at one o' Clock. The first issue was the lights. Just came in the mail Monday. Mario and I tried to light the thing. I have two different screens. I look different on both screens, and I don't know why. One of them I have. I look like I've been in the sun. The other one, it looks like I just. I live in Ireland, right. I don't know which one's the real one, right. So we're trying to light it. Then the guy ESPN calls in. There's all these technical. And then Myron is going crazy in Minnesota. It's. It's a cluster. There's tv, there's audio, there's lights. There's all of this that it's counting down. You know, you can see the clock coming. Myron can't even get connected. And 15 minutes before they call me and say, you may have to go solo on your first day, Shannon, I almost cried.

[Shannon]

Oh, did you almost fake technical difficulty? So you.

[Matt Jones]

I almost just ran away and hit under the. If you. You're telling me I'm going to have to debut on national radio by myself, I don't. The only time I ever talk by myself is 15 minutes at the start of the post game show. That's it.

[Drew]

Could have just done a random post game.

[Matt Jones]

I was just going to go watch the ending of a game and talk about how Kentucky shouldn't have lost to Georgia at home last year.

[Drew]

So Matt. Myron was almost Matt.

[Matt Jones]

It was Matt. And they were like, oh, yeah. And talk about the Dodgers.

[Nick Turturro]

What?

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, that was your opening talk.

[Drew]

There was a point when they broke in with the trade. I could tell in your face, you're like, I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

You got a Dodger tag. You should be a pro. Well, that's what I'm wearing. In case they ask me again, I'm gonna be like, look, you see, this is my team.

[Drew]

Boys trade came in and you were like, what do you think, Myron?

[Matt Jones]

Well, no, they came in and I hadn't heard of anyone in the trade. And I was like, well, what's your favorite Jose de la Carta moment, Myron? So I was. I genuinely. I almost was going to call like you, Drew.

[Drew]

I would have hopped on and go,

[Matt Jones]

you want to do a little cover zero on national radio? So he gets connected and, you know, then we start and then immediately the video feed. So I'm looking for people at home. I want you to envision this. I'm looking directly at the camera, which I don't like. It feels weird. But whatever you have, I might have to learn to do it again. It's been a while. The screen in front of me is supposed to show Myron, but it didn't. It just showed me on a three second delay.

[Contestants (various callers)]

Oh.

[Matt Jones]

So imagine you're seeing yourself three seconds ago. I'll throw you off. It throws you off because then you're like, well, why did I look like that three seconds ago? You know, why did I look like I looked weird? 3 seconds, turn it off.

[Drew]

At that point you're lifting your arm

[Matt Jones]

and it's not lifting like, whoa. Even my mom point had text me and go, stop moving your arms. Because I was like, just to make

[Shannon]

sure it's really you.

[Ryan Lemon]

Like, is that really me?

[Matt Jones]

Is that really me? Is there another version of me on the other side of this? It got better as it went and it started to, you know, we got, we got to where we need and then, and then it was fine and it was like doing a show and it was cool because you know, you get people. Thank you to all the people from Kentucky. You know, I would say until we get our groove going a little bit. If I ask for calls, if you want to throw in a call, feel free. You can't just always ask though about Mark Pope starting because at some point then they'll make me stop taking calls about other stuff. Now God did call and make fun of Billy's wedding. I was for that. Billy on day one takes a stray on national radio. National radio. And you know, so I like there

[Drew]

was a caller that said, where's the belt? Because it had fallen over the belt.

[Matt Jones]

Oh yeah, the belt fell off 40 seconds before it started and I thought someone had shot me.

[Shannon]

You know, I wasn't gonna say anything, but it did look like it was up there a little crooked. But I wasn't gonna say anything. Just let it go.

[Matt Jones]

No, if you're talking about the picture I posted, the reason it was crooked is I was crooked posted it. The belt, the TV set is a line but it's just. There's not. I don't have a stand for the belt yet. So it just fell off right before it started.

[Contestants (various callers)]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

So anyway we got it. The shot did not look like it did the night before. So I might to rearrange some of the stuff so it gets in camera. But either way it happened. For people who want to listen, I hard app just search espn, right? Or if you have serious you can listen on. On Sirius and then if you want to watch it were on ESPN plus and Disney plus. My mom bought Disney plus and she was like, you're on Disney plus right

[Shannon]

there with Mickey Mouse, which is.

[Matt Jones]

No, it was kind of true. It was like me and Iron Man, Marvel, then Matt Marvel the Bear, and Matt Myron, Cinderella. But if you want to see, you just. Just put in the little search engine Matt Myron. We come up now. The description of the show says Max Kellerman gives hot takes.

[Drew]

Yeah, that's.

[Matt Jones]

They are little, but they need to update their descriptions. I don't. Max Kellerman hasn't worked there in five years.

[Drew]

ESPN app. And it had Matt Myron, but there wasn't. It was just a no photo. So we got to get a photo.

[Matt Jones]

Gotta get a photo.

[Hayes Davenport]

I did.

[Drew]

Like I'd never seen your producer. He gets a lot of cameras out. He gets producing.

[Matt Jones]

He looks like ZZ Top. Yeah, yeah.

[Drew]

Getting stuff done.

[Matt Jones]

He gets stuff done. So it was a lot of fun. Thank you to everyone who listened and watched. Please keep doing it. You know, the first day everybody tunes in. But keep. Keep coming when you can. I understand four hours of me is a lot. I get it. Your focus should always be on this show. This is the show that's about your Kentucky life. This is going to be something you're always interested in. KSR should be your focus. But if you have two extra hours, then come join me and Myron. It's not going to always be a topic you love. I mean, you know, when they asked me to talk about, I didn't even know how to say Louis Arise. Name. It's a R, R, A, E, Z. How many of you had ever have ever heard of Louis Arraz.

[Ryan Lemon]

Negative.

[Drew]

First time right now.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon.

[Shannon]

No. And I watch baseball.

[Matt Jones]

He's led baseball and hitting for the last five years.

[Shannon]

Dodgers.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know what team he got traded to the Phillies, but I don't know what team he was on before. But you know what? You probably should know that. But he got traded and I was like, how do I say his name? And if you see a R, R, A, E, Z, I would have thought Arai's Ariz. And when he told me arise, I was like, you're screw. That's not how you say that. But apparently it is. So these are the things I have

[Drew]

to pick up and see that just lets me know that all the other shows I'm watching, listening to, they're doing the same thing.

[Matt Jones]

Nobody knows anything.

[Nick Turturro]

Okay?

[Matt Jones]

Just doing their best for this. Nobody knows anything. Sports, politics. When people talk, they're all stupid. All right?

[Ryan Lemon]

We.

[Matt Jones]

Nobody knows any. I know Kentucky. And y' all listening know I barely know it now. Make me take on. Talk about the Dodgers.

[Drew]

Carson Stone.

[Matt Jones]

Stop it. I mean, cars called him Carson Stone. He's our sinner.

[Shannon]

We're gonna find out what Ryan knows in a little bit with this.

[Matt Jones]

Well, Ryan's gonna know very little here in just a few surprises. No, I think he is gonna surprise.

[Ryan Lemon]

I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

We'll see if he's able to. We have. Well, somebody just hung up. So now there's an open line. We had six contestants ready. Whoever's on line four keeps giving up every time. Do you feel your brain is situated for this?

[Ryan Lemon]

This is on UK Football.

[Matt Jones]

This is gonna be UK Football, because to get us ready, I found some questions. Now, these are questions that the listeners may or may not know. But the question. These questions are. The question will be, do you know? Okay, so before we go to the break, I want to just at least quickly get the contestants. Kevin, where are you from? Kevin, where are you from? Lexington. Okay. Do you go to uk? What'd you say? Princeton.

[Contestants (various callers)]

I go to every game.

[Matt Jones]

Well, then why do you want. You already have tickets.

[Contestants (various callers)]

No, I buy them individually.

[Matt Jones]

I also led the team that created MTV and my co founders and I are celebrating MTV's 45th anniversary this month on my podcast, Math and Stories from the Frontiers of Marketing. You'll hear the untold origin story from the people who built MTV from the ground up.

[Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen]

I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt season three podcast. This is a story about a horrendous situation that destroyed two families. It started more than seven years ago when Cindy and Kenny were two 40 somethings who had just gotten engaged. Days later, they walked into a scorched earth war they never saw coming.

[Shannon]

Turn around and place your hands behind your back.

[Matt Jones]

The cops came into my house and threw me in jail.

[Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen]

And to Cindy's surprise, her fiance Kenny was charged with abusing one of her children.

[Matt Jones]

I never once doubted Kenny, and I

[Chelsea Handler]

always doubted the accusation.

[Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen]

On season three of Burden of Guilt, you'll hear a story about the lengths someone will go to in order to to get what they want.

[Matt Jones]

This case has got to be one of the most despicable.

[Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen]

Listen to season three, a burden of guilt on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Matt Jones]

All right, welcome back, Techie Sports Radio. Here we go. I guess. Shannon, you want to put all these people on the line real quick?

[Chelsea Handler]

Can you do that?

[Shannon]

Yeah. Yeah, let's go.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. All right, here's the question, and when I call on you, you give me your guess of an answer. Ryan lemon. Since 2011, okay, 12 Kentucky players have been named all SEC football. How many can you name in 12 guesses while you're thinking about it? Let's go through here. Brian, how many do you think he can name?

[Contestants (various callers)]

8.

[Matt Jones]

8. Roger, how many do you think he can name?

[Contestants (various callers)]

7.

[Matt Jones]

7. Judy, how many do you think he CAN name?

[Contestants (various callers)]

10.

[Matt Jones]

10. Wow. Judy believes in you. Kyle, how many can he name?

[Contestants (various callers)]

Five.

[Matt Jones]

Five. Lou, how many can he name?

[Contestants (various callers)]

Six.

[Matt Jones]

Six. And Jared, how many can he name?

[Contestants (various callers)]

Can I repeat an answer?

[Matt Jones]

You can repeat? Yes.

[Contestants (various callers)]

Six.

[Matt Jones]

Six. Okay, there you go. You got your person you believes in you least is Kyle, who says five? Person who believes in the most is Judy says 10. You have 12 people. Ryan Lemon, first of all, Drew, what do you think he's going to get?

[Drew]

You said since 2011.

[Matt Jones]

Since 2011.

[Ryan Lemon]

These are made all first team, all sec.

[Matt Jones]

Just all sec. We know it is. It is first team, all sec. Yes, correct. First team, all sec. There you go.

[Drew]

I think he gets seven. I believe in him.

[Matt Jones]

And these are, by the way, first team, all sec, ap. Okay. Because there's some guys who. Who have not made all sec. Ap. And by the way, I'm not including in this special specialist because then that number would get much higher.

[Ryan Lemon]

That's one of my guesses.

[Matt Jones]

So no Austin McGinnis, no Max Duffy. Okay. I had three specialists extra, so extra players. How many you think he gets?

[Drew]

I'm lowering it now. I was counting Duffy and I'll say five now.

[Matt Jones]

What do you. All right, here we go. Ryan Lemon, good luck.

[Ryan Lemon]

Randall Cobb.

[Matt Jones]

Randall Cobb was before 2011.

[Ryan Lemon]

Am I already out?

[Matt Jones]

No, no, I. You get 12 guesses. Go ahead.

[Ryan Lemon]

Josh Allen.

[Matt Jones]

Josh Allen is one.

[Ryan Lemon]

Bud Dupree.

[Matt Jones]

Bud Dupree is two. That's three guesses.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, I had one and just lost it. God dang it.

[Drew]

All the good players.

[Matt Jones]

Stoops had a lot of good players. You have. You have nine more guesses.

[Ryan Lemon]

I think I got so many before the 2011.

[Matt Jones]

There's many in recent.

[Drew]

Record breakers in there. It's going to be a long morning.

[Matt Jones]

This is the worst thing I've ever heard.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Like you. You can't even name more than three names of people that played it.

[Ryan Lemon]

Kentucky, most of my guys are before 2011.

[Nick Turturro]

We've.

[Matt Jones]

This is since we've been doing the show.

[Drew]

We've been doing the pregame show.

[Matt Jones]

Since you've been doing the pregame show.

[Ryan Lemon]

First team, all sec.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. Yeah. You must have stayed at Best Western.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

How about I name a position? Would that help it? Think about what positions are on the football field.

[Ryan Lemon]

Okay. Oh, wait, I got one.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Ryan Lemon]

Landon Young.

[Matt Jones]

Landon Young. Correct.

[Contestants (various callers)]

Four.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so you have three correct. You need eight more guesses.

[Ryan Lemon]

Drake Jackson.

[Matt Jones]

Drake. Jackson is right. That's four. You have seven more guesses. How is he so. This is unbelievable. I mean, there's two that literally my mother could name. How are you so bad at this?

[Ryan Lemon]

I'm just having a brain fart right now on these guys.

[Matt Jones]

All right, I'm going to give you 10 more seconds, and if not, then we're going. You just are going to be out.

[Ryan Lemon]

Ray Davis.

[Matt Jones]

Ray Davis is correct. Now you're at five. You have Six more guesses.

[Ryan Lemon]

I don't know.

[Contestants (various callers)]

Five.

[Matt Jones]

Four.

[Ryan Lemon]

Done.

[Contestants (various callers)]

Three.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon. Shannon done.

[Shannon]

That's what he's got. All right, well, you got him, right?

[Ryan Lemon]

Who are the big ones?

[Yamanika Saunders]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Do you remember, Drew? Why don't you guess some?

[Drew]

Do you remember Benny Snell?

[Matt Jones]

How about Benny Snell? You ever heard of him?

[Ryan Lemon]

I've heard of Benny Snell.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. You were at his signing at the bar. Maybe Chris Rodriguez, the guy that broke his record just a few years later.

[Ryan Lemon]

Those are two good ones.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, they are.

[Ryan Lemon]

I got Ray Davis and missed those two guys.

[Matt Jones]

Why did you get Ray Davis and not Chris Rodriguez and Benny Snell? All right, Drew, do you have any. Would you like to enjoy Big?

[Drew]

Dion was one.

[Matt Jones]

If I'm not Dion Walker was one. Yes.

[Drew]

Was Lynn first team?

[Matt Jones]

Lynn Bowden was. He was all purpose, so, yes, Bowden was on the list as well.

[Drew]

Did Stenberg ever get one?

[Matt Jones]

Logan Stenberg got one as well.

[Drew]

The Wall was collecting them there for a while.

[Matt Jones]

John Toth had it. Luke Fortner, Josh Pascal. Darian Canard.

[Ryan Lemon]

Canards. When I was trying to think of. I got stuck on him.

[Matt Jones]

Chris Rodriguez and Benny Snell.

[Ryan Lemon]

I got Ray Davis.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. All right. So, Judy, are you there? Judy here. Unfortunately, you were the farthest away, so you're eliminated. But you believed in Ryan, Judy, which was very sweet.

[Contestants (various callers)]

I always believe in Ryan.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, well, thank you, Judy. Unfortunately, that cost you tickets to the game, so Judy is out. Appreciate the call. The answer is don't believe in Ryan.

[Shannon]

That's right.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Drew]

All right, Snell, Ryan.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so Judy is out. Can you eliminate her? Shannon, Is that. Is that possible? All right, now this one easier. No.

[Shannon]

Oh, boy.

[Matt Jones]

The fight Song. The UK Fight song. How many words will Ryan get wrong? In the UK Fight song? The question is, how many words will he get wrong? There are. The UK Fight song has nine lines in it. How many words will he get wrong? Brian, what's your guess?

[Contestants (various callers)]

20.

[Matt Jones]

He's going to get 20 words in it. Roger. How. What's your guess?

[Contestants (various callers)]

Six.

[Matt Jones]

Six. Okay. Roger believes in you, Kyle.

[Contestants (various callers)]

10.

[Matt Jones]

10.

[Ryan Lemon]

Lou.

[Contestants (various callers)]

[Contestants (various callers)]

Four.

[Matt Jones]

J. Lou really believes in you, Jared.

[Contestants (various callers)]

[Matt Jones]

Eight. All right. From four to 20. Go slowly so that I can keep up. Give me the UK fight song.

[Ryan Lemon]

On on UK.

[Matt Jones]

Line one is correct.

[Ryan Lemon]

We will fight for the right to play.

[Matt Jones]

2 already wrong. We are right for the fight today not to play so on on ufk. We are right for the fight today

[Ryan Lemon]

Fight for the blue and white.

[Matt Jones]

Completely incorrect that entire line. Hold that ball and hit that line. So now that you got seven words wrong on that one. So on. On ufk, we are right for the fight today. Hold that ball and hit that line.

[Ryan Lemon]

We will fight for the right today.

[Matt Jones]

That's what you guessed on the last line. That was also wrong. All five words there wrong. So you were up to 14 incorrect words. All right, let's try. Let's pick it back up.

[Ryan Lemon]

On.

[Matt Jones]

On UK, we are right for the fight today. Hold that ball and hit that line. Every Wildcat star will shine we'll fight, fight, fight. Okay, you got that one. You got that one. Stop. We got to go to break. Okay, we'll see if you get the second half. Oh, my, you're on a roll. We'll be right back. T.J. smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. he'll make him pay.

[Shannon]

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

[Matt Jones]

The reality is, if you bet on Ryan Shannon, it's not a great.

[Shannon]

Yeah, I think we're learning our lesson.

[Matt Jones]

I think that's what we're learning. Here is the unders. Yeah, the unders, or in this case, the overs. On miss words are the way to go. All right. You've missed 14 words.

[Ryan Lemon]

It's about over, though, isn't it?

[Matt Jones]

We have four more lines, so I'm gonna. We're gonna. Drew and I are gonna get you to the second half again. Ready on uk we are right for the fight today hold that ball and hit that line. Every Wildcat star will shine Will fight, fight, fight for the blue and white

[Ryan Lemon]

we will fight for the right today.

[Matt Jones]

You've now guessed that three times. It is yet to be correct. You are out. That is 19 missed words. So we don't even need to do the rest of them. It was. As we roll to that goal, varsity.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, my gosh.

[Matt Jones]

And we'll kick pass and run till the battle is won and we'll bring home the victory.

[Ryan Lemon]

I got the last word.

[Matt Jones]

So what that means is, Lou, you believed in Ryan Lou, and he let you down. I'm sorry. You are eliminated.

[Shannon]

That means.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, there you go. All right, so that means four more, and I've lost my pen. Mario, will you reach under the desk there and get my pen? Okay, so it's at your feet. So last question. The ring of honor at uk yeah. This is the greatest players in UK History. We have a ring of honor that has a number of people. You see it at every game, Ryan?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

You see the ring of honor. The question is very simple. How many UK players are in the Ring of honor. You could look up at every game and look and count between Roger, Kyle, Jared and Brian, they're all going to guess numbers. Whoever guesses the right number or the closest number to you will get the get it right. It's not the question of how many there are. It's a question of how many Drew Ryan will think there are.

[Drew]

This is a tough part. Tough game in here.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so again, to these people, I don't. I want you right now, Ryan, to write down the number you think it

[Ryan Lemon]

is okay, that I'm going to guess.

[Matt Jones]

You write down your guess. Okay. Roger, how many do you think Ryan is going to know? Say he knows. Roger.

[Contestants (various callers)]

15, right?

[Matt Jones]

You think Ryan writes 15? Kyle, what do you think Ryan's going to say?

[Contestants (various callers)]

Can you repeat the question?

[Matt Jones]

How many people are in the ring of honor? Ryan has made a guess. The question is what do you think Ryan's guess is going to be?

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, I didn't do it right?

[Matt Jones]

No, you just guess.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, but I didn't understand the question.

[Matt Jones]

You're not trying to guess what you're going to guess.

[Ryan Lemon]

But I guessed wrong. I misunderstood. What you want me to guess?

[Matt Jones]

What did you think?

[Ryan Lemon]

How many I could name?

[Matt Jones]

No, no, the queue. I know you can't name any.

[Ryan Lemon]

The question is I can name a bunch of these guys.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, you want to switch the question?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You want to switch the question to how many you can name? Okay, you know what?

[Drew]

Game on.

[Matt Jones]

Fine. You want to be cocky?

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, I just know more than.

[Matt Jones]

All right, let's do this. There are 45 retired jerseys. Okay, all right, how many can Ryan name? Okay, all right, so let me go back. Roger, 45 retired jerseys. How many can Roger can Ryan name?

[Contestants (various callers)]

I'll stay with 15.

[Matt Jones]

15, good guess. Kyle, what do you think? 24. Jared, how many you think?

[Contestants (various callers)]

14.

[Matt Jones]

14. Brian, how many you think?

[Contestants (various callers)]

18.

[Matt Jones]

18. Now here's what I'm gonna do. I'm all Ryan put ever those. I'm on hold so I don't hear him breathing there, Shannon, for a second. Okay, I'm going to let you miss three.

[Ryan Lemon]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so you can miss three, but you are guessing. Go.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, my goodness.

[Matt Jones]

So only one more miss.

[Ryan Lemon]

I was going to go to a bunch of.

[Matt Jones]

You get one more miss and then you can keep going. So go ahead.

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, now I'm a little scared, but I've only got one miss left. I got to get some of these younger guys. I was going to name if Jacob Tammy's not up there.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, I thought he was. I thought he was on a roll.

[Contestants (various callers)]

Shit.

[Matt Jones]

I thought he was about. He was about to get into the 20s, et cetera. Just so you know. Jared sitting there at 14 hop. You can't get another one.

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, I'm not going to say I'm afraid to guess these guys. I'm going to.

Well, you got to get somebody.

[Ryan Lemon]

Randall Cobb.

[Matt Jones]

Randall Cobb is not on the list.

[Ryan Lemon]

You get.

[Matt Jones]

No, no, that's three. You just can't miss another one.

[Ryan Lemon]

I can't miss another one.

[Matt Jones]

I thought betting on Ryan was going to work because he was on such a. I mean, he's saying names. People know, even he say. But then there are people. You have missed some obvious, obvious ones. Ones like that. There's at least one. Even Mario would know.

[Ryan Lemon]

I'm scared to guess a younger guy.

[Matt Jones]

Well, that didn't. Don't guess an older guy.

[Ryan Lemon]

An older guy that I'm missing. That's obvious.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

Bill Ransdale.

[Matt Jones]

Bill Ransdale.

[Drew]

Think he's up there.

[Matt Jones]

Is not on the list. 13, Jared in Lexington, are you there?

[Contestants (various callers)]

Okay, we'll do. Thanks, Ron. Appreciate it.

[Matt Jones]

All right, I'm going to give you some. 1.

[Ryan Lemon]

I should have got Jim Kovatch.

[Matt Jones]

Jim Kovatch is on the list, but how about Bear Bryant?

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, I guess he probably would have been on the list.

[Matt Jones]

How about Bland Collier? I mean, you got Jerry Claiborne. You didn't think to get Bear Bryant?

[Ryan Lemon]

I was doing Jerry as a player, not as a coach.

[Matt Jones]

George Adams.

[Ryan Lemon]

George Adams.

[Drew]

Bernie Shively, Art Steel, Herschel Turner, Harry Ulinsky, Jeff Van Note.

[Ryan Lemon]

You know, I gotta be honest, I've not heard of probably 20 of those guys you just mentioned. Not even heard of them.

[Drew]

We talk about how we need to retire. Basketball jerseys. Couch. The most recent football.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, that was an old list. Can. Can we. Can we say something?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

That hopefully we don't offend people. We got way too many old guys in both the football and basketball ring of Honor and not enough new guys.

[Ryan Lemon]

I can't believe there's nobody from the.

[Matt Jones]

We just have too many. We've got. And I'm not saying you take the old guys down, but I do think we've got to, like, establish some standard as to what we're actually saying these people. Because, like, you're right. Some of these names.

[Ryan Lemon]

20 of those guys I've not even heard of. And tim couch was 28 years ago.

[Matt Jones]

Recent one.

[Contestants (various callers)]

No.

[Matt Jones]

Jared Lorenzen.

[Ryan Lemon]

28 years ago.

[Matt Jones]

Jacob.

[Hayes Davenport]

Tammy.

[Matt Jones]

No.

[Ryan Lemon]

Randall.

[Matt Jones]

Randall Cobb. Andre Woodson.

[Ryan Lemon]

See, I was going to go through a bunch of those guys and that,

[Matt Jones]

but we've got Irmao, Mo Williams.

[Drew]

I'd put him up there.

[Ryan Lemon]

Mo Williams?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I mean, Irma played quarterback in 1939,

[Contestants (various callers)]

right?

[Matt Jones]

In 19. I mean, did they even. Did they even throw it? In 1939, he went 4 for 6

[Drew]

in a game against Trees.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, nothing against Irma, but you know what I'm saying?

[Drew]

A lot of names.

[Ryan Lemon]

I'm surprised I've heard that name.

[Matt Jones]

You've heard of Irma. How do you know Armo?

[Ryan Lemon]

Because he's a hell of a quarterback.

[Drew]

By Rich Brooks. Let's put him up there.

[Matt Jones]

So anyway, another one there is the. There's your list. And Ryan, I thought you were on one.

[Ryan Lemon]

Honestly, I thought I was going to get to the Rich Brooks era and just nail about 10 more guys and then none of them are in in the ring of honor.

[Matt Jones]

All right, well, well done. Thank you for trying. As always. The brain of Ryan Lemon is a mysterious place, but it was good playing. Thanks to the folks for playing Shady Rays. If you need sunglasses, you go to shady rays. Shadyrays.com Same quality as $200 sunglasses. However, they are not nearly that expensive. You can.

[Shannon]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

A woman came up to me and Drew and Mario at Billy's bachelor parties and began yelling at us.

[Drew]

Oh, that's right.

[Shannon]

Really?

[Matt Jones]

About. She said, I'm a therapist and my husband listened to the podcast with you and Shannon giving relationship advice and she listened. He listened to that. And not what I do for a living.

[Shannon]

Well, maybe we know more than her.

[Matt Jones]

That's what I said. She didn't really like that when I said that. So we have a couple of those questions coming to. It's ksr.

[Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen]

I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt season three podcast. This is a story about a horrendous situation that destroyed two families. It started more than seven years ago when Cindy and Kenny were two 40 somethings who had just gotten engaged. Days later, they walked into a scorched earth war they never saw coming.

[Shannon]

Turn around and place your hands behind your back.

[Matt Jones]

The cops came into my house and threw me into jail.

[Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen]

And to Cindy's surprise, her fiance Kenny was charged with abusing one of her children.

[Yamanika Saunders]

I never once doubted Kenny and I

[Chelsea Handler]

always doubted the accusation.

[Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen]

On season three of Burden of Guilt, you'll hear a story about the lengths of someone will go to in order to get what they want.

[Matt Jones]

This case has got to be one

[Nick Turturro]

of the most despicable.

[Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen]

Listen to season three, a burden of guilt on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back Ty Sports Radio. I love during the break, Ryan loves to rant about Sam Newton letting in all his friends. Go ahead, do. Do on the air what you did during the break.

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, there's a lot of guys, especially in the basketball, hanging from the rafters. Rafters that kind of got dedicated when CM was the athletic director.

[Matt Jones]

But isn't that what you should do in your friends? Like, if I became ad, I'd put you in the rafters.

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, I appreciate that. I'd be like, then I'd probably go up and take it down. I don't deserve to be up there.

[Drew]

Does that mean Mitch didn't have friends and see, didn't ever do it?

[Matt Jones]

No, it is.

[Ryan Lemon]

It is weird. We've not done a basketball ceremony. Tony Delk.

[Matt Jones]

It's ridiculous. We have no basketball players that have played since 1996 and we have no football players that have played since 1998.

[Drew]

That's.

[Matt Jones]

That's ridiculous. That's been 25 years. Are you going to wait till these people die?

[Ryan Lemon]

And fans love it. It's a special night when they get to do something like that. And it's great for the fans.

[Matt Jones]

Tayshawn Prince. That should be this year.

[Ryan Lemon]

It should be. Why not?

[Matt Jones]

You should be doing Tate. You should be putting Tayshawn Prince in the rafters this year. Craig Yeast is not.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. One of the all time sec, not just UK sec.

[Matt Jones]

So, I mean, you. So if you're going to order it, you would go Craig east, then like Jacob, Tammy.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, all that group.

[Matt Jones]

Wesley Woodyard and then Randall Cobb, Rich

[Drew]

Brooks high on the priority list.

[Matt Jones]

But, like, what. I mean, Mitch, such a stick in the mud.

[Ryan Lemon]

I don't get it.

[Matt Jones]

We're not putting anybody up there except Joel Osteen.

[Ryan Lemon]

I was kind of amazed when you were reading off the names and then like, there's 20 of those guys. I didn't. Didn't even know.

[Drew]

I'd be upset if I were Jacob, Tammy and Joel Steam, I think.

[Matt Jones]

I'm not Joel Osteen, by the way, scheduled for the Alabama game.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, he is.

[Shannon]

He's got great hair. His hair is immaculate.

[Matt Jones]

And amazing teeth.

[Contestants (various callers)]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, he doesn't let anybody into his church during floods. But the teeth and the hair.

[Drew]

It's great hair.

[Matt Jones]

It's great hair. Great teeth. All right, the fifth year ruling the legal Issues are still complex, but as of today, fifth year players can play, but they either have to have entered the portal, not signed a full time contract in the pros, or stay with their same team. Alex Safari, of course, is the football player that in theory that applies to. That Kentucky could get. We talked about that yesterday. What about basketball? There are two names that keep coming up. One is the dude from Michigan State, but I guess all the information. What's his name? Coxler Kohler. Kohler.

[Drew]

He gave us 20. He was nasty in the game last year.

[Matt Jones]

He gave us 20.

[Contestants (various callers)]

He.

[Matt Jones]

We could use him. Yes, he's the kind of player they need. But it looks like everybody thinks he's going to go to byu. How do we keep losing to byu? What is. What is it with.

[Drew]

It's pretty campus, but it's not all that.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, why, why are people. I mean I get there's money, but like.

[Drew]

Okay, I like my coffee too much.

[Matt Jones]

Want to go to byu. That's fine. Apparently this morning reports are that Mark Pope zoomed with Keyshawn hall from Auburn. He averaged 20 points a game last year. He did enter the portal. If the rulings as they exist now stand, he will be eligible. Would you want him at Kentucky?

[Drew]

Yes. I think we still need some pieces. I know there's talks of not the best locker room guy, a little bit

[Ryan Lemon]

of a ball hog.

[Drew]

He's one of these players. It'd be his fifth school in five years. He's never stayed one place more than a year. There's a lot of different negatives around him, but with his scoring, he even rebounded well, I mean, I think they still need someone.

[Matt Jones]

Don't you think there'd be a couple of guys like, why did I go to that school if he played, I mean.

[Hayes Davenport]

Because he'll start.

[Drew]

Yeah, he'd have to start.

[Matt Jones]

He would put McBride or the kid from Senegal, he'd send them to the bench.

[Drew]

But if not him, as you said, Kohler, even though you got byu, there's a few names. You got to go, you got to go out him.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, the reports about him are always locker room prop.

[Drew]

I worry more about our current team than I do the lockdown.

[Matt Jones]

You really are pessimistic about the team, the depth.

[Drew]

I think we still need more pieces.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. I like the top. If you're the coach, you're taking.

[Bob Pittman]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

What about you?

[Ryan Lemon]

I think you, you definitely pursue it because that's a position of need. Like that's a guy. A position where I think you could plug him in and he'd be our starting guy right there.

[Matt Jones]

I think he would definitely start.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Probably move. I don't know if he'd play the three or Milan would play the four. I guess it just depends on the matchups, but.

[Ryan Lemon]

So you got an elite score out there you can add to your lineup. I think you have to pursue it whether he's a locker room problem or not. I think maybe Pope.

[Matt Jones]

So you don't worry about what we would hear about at Auburn. You think that can. You think Pope can make it work?

[Drew]

I mean, I hope he can make it work. That's a big part of the job.

[Matt Jones]

But you just don't think we're good enough. So we got to take him.

[Drew]

And I think we will be good, but we will not be Kentucky. I want to get back to a Final Four. Like we talked about, the drought. We need to get good, good elite.

[Matt Jones]

If I told you you could have Kohler or him, I might go Kohler. I see. I might, too, because I. But then we would see you. I mean, but then the defense. But he could rebound. Yeah, he's at Michigan State 6. What is he, eight?

[Drew]

Yeah, he's the Michigan State 6.

[Matt Jones]

Eight white guy. Where they've. They've had 20 straight years of them.

[Drew]

But he can step out and hit the three.

[Matt Jones]

He can, Yes.

[Drew]

I also like Mark Mitchell that played at Missouri, who scored a million points last year. He had several games with 30.

[Matt Jones]

He has he in the portal.

[Drew]

Yeah, I think he. He might even lead the SEC in scoring. I would look at him too, but I really. Anybody? I think. I think this has created an opportunity where some teams are going to get hosed. Where they had a great roster already. Now there's no spots. The teams like Kentucky that left an opening could actually make a big jump.

[Matt Jones]

It actually could end up have made it real smart that Pope did not take a guy.

[Ryan Lemon]

Kind of how we got Momcilovich. We ended up with a bucket load

[Matt Jones]

of money for him, but on this one. Okay, so these guys will probably all cost $3 million. Kentucky could come up with $3 million.

[Raiders of the Lost Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

Tomorrow.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, we're. We've already spent a lot. This would probably make us. If we were to go get. Spend $3 million on somebody, we'd probably be the most expensive roster in the country.

[Ryan Lemon]

Again, you got to win then more than Louisville was.

[Shannon]

Louisville spent how much?

[Matt Jones]

We'll be right there with them. I don't know who. I mean, it's hard. We don't know official numbers, so it's hard to know but we. We will be right there with it. So, I mean, what if. I mean, if we're spending the most money two years in a row, like, you got to get results, don't you?

[Drew]

That's right. But we need results. You know, I don't want to be pessimistic and it's all doom and gloom over here, but I think we're just headed back for another season where we're like, I don't know how to judge this, but you could go add one of these, really stars that have now opened up.

[Matt Jones]

Kohler, Mitchell, or Hall. You're adding the player that probably will, at least in the case of Mitchell and Hall, have averaged more points than anybody you have on your roster right now. Yeah, in theory, you would be adding your star player whether he ends up being that or not. You gotta be like, if that doesn't make you better than what. What's going on?

[Ryan Lemon]

And is it. Is it safe to assume that they're gonna get somebody? I mean, they're gonna get one of the. Maybe one of these three, or they're

[Matt Jones]

gonna get somebody, depending on how the court rulings go. But, yeah, I mean, the NCAA just needs to throw up the white flag on this issue. There's not. The NCAA just needs to stop fighting. Just let these dudes play one more year. Congress looks like at some point it's gonna pass the legislation. Just let it go. Why fight this? Yeah, it's one more year. Why are you fighting these guys? You're gonna end up with some court rulings that let some states players play and other states not just let them play one more year. Just let it go. Wouldn't you agree?

[Drew]

Yeah. Especially because my team needs.

[Matt Jones]

It would be so good to have on our team if we added Alex Safari and Keyshawn Hall. Like, we should throw the court, the judge in Colorado a party.

[Contestants (various callers)]

Right.

[Drew]

It's burn couches.

[Matt Jones]

That's right.

[Contestants (various callers)]
