Main Discussion Points

1. Personal Life Updates & Humor (02:17–10:05)

• Homeownership Realities:

  • Matt discusses unexpected issues he’s begun to care about as a homeowner, notably the state of his drooping front yard flowers. (“You start to find things that you never cared about in life ever. Never even thought about. Then all of a sudden, you wake up one day, and it can ruin your day.” — Matt, 05:16)
  • Multiple rounds of banter about the correct names and blooming habits of his mysterious white flowers (eventually identified as hydrangeas, not gardenias). (20:59)
  • Playful conversation on giving pep talks to flowers.

• Daycare Dilemmas:

  • Julie shares her struggle with saying goodbye to a beloved daycare due to a move, and Matt expresses surprise at multi-year daycare waiting lists in Lexington. (“If you want to go to a daycare, you should have signed up 10 years ago.” – Julie, 09:07)

• Wedding Anticipation:

  • Hype builds for Billy’s wedding, including talk about weather worries for a special outdoor event, with secret “surprise” plans discussed in veiled terms. (12:43)
  • Casual mention of Matt picking up his suit and excitement/nerves about the wedding being possibly rained out.

2. Community & Local Events (10:09–12:39)

• Lexington Legends Announcing:
  • Ryan shares details from a recent gig as the Legends’ field announcer—highlighting minor league staple events and quips about “Princess Night” at the ballpark, tossing in some KSR-style self-deprecation and in-jokes.
  • Discussion of “Microphone Mike,” a Lexington legend in his own right.

3. UK Sports News & Analysis

A. UK Basketball Practice & Player Development (14:14–15:32; 23:14–24:45)

• Jerome Morton’s Summer Win:

  • Morton named the summer’s standout player (“Jerome Morton won the Summer Basketball challenge, basically. I guess with the stats they use, he had the best summer of all the players.”—Matt, 23:29).
  • Hosts debate his future contributions to the team—likely as a high-energy, defense-oriented player coming off the bench. (“I think he’ll be big...just play as hard as you can for, you know, 10 minutes a game, especially defensively.” – Julie, 23:51)
  • System for summer evaluation detailed: “You get points if you, like, cause a steal or get a turnover or a deflection…” – Ryan, 24:30

• Roster Debate—Keyshawn Hall & NCAA Waivers:

  • UK’s pursuit of a final addition for the roster, focusing on transfer Keyshawn Hall and eligibility uncertainty (25:30).
  • Discussion of new NCAA rule—“ghost punishments”—where coaches could be suspended and lose pay if they field ineligible players. (“If you take a player thinking he’s going to be eligible and then he’s not, the coach will be suspended for half the season and loses pay.” – Matt, 26:43)
  • Debate on whether NCAA can even enforce uneven eligibility state by state.

B. UK Football Practice & Roster News (21:49–34:53)

• Nick Senzel & Kentucky Legends:

  • Brief check-in on former Reds player’s status with the Legends, and Reds’ tenuous wild card chase—with Matt openly unsure about “getting back in” with the team (22:02–22:35).

• Roster Update – Returning Player:

  • Scoop from Matt: If the NCAA allows, Alex Afari (noted for his defensive prowess) will be back at Kentucky for the coming season. (“Alex Afari, he’s playing at Kentucky next year.” – Matt, 27:55)
  • Marked as a boost for Kentucky’s defense, pending NFL interest and eligibility confirmation.

• Wide Receiver Room & Hardly Gilmore Saga:

  • Full recap of Gilmore’s unprecedented transfer and dismissal history between UK, Nebraska, Baylor, Louisville. (“He’s been here three times, basically. And he was dismissed from the team for rules violations.” – Matt, 32:14)
  • Acknowledgement of the position group’s struggles and limited SEC-level talent. (“That was the one position that didn’t look like an SEC team. The rest of them kind of did. That one didn’t.” – Matt, 34:24)
  • Gilmore’s talent vs. perpetual disciplinary issues (“He’s had quite the timeline. He reclassified to move to get to Kentucky early. He’s probably maybe the biggest disappointing player in the last decade of someone who has potential and just can’t get his head on straight.” – Julie, 33:18)
  • Humor around how many times he might cycle back through UK.

4. Legal & Tech Deep-Dive: AI & Copyright (36:26–41:44; 46:04–48:04)

• AI’s Use of Copyrighted Content:

  • Lively legal discussion on the future of copyright infringement lawsuits against AI. (“Are you taking what I’ve written and compiling it for your purposes?... I do think it’s going to be a fascinating question, and I honestly think nine old Supreme Court justices probably are not the people to decide it, but that’s who will do it.” – Matt, 41:41)
  • Differentiation between facts (not copyrightable) and creative writing (copyrighted).
  • Real-life examples of early KSR days running afoul of copyright rules, with Matt confessing to getting sued and having to change content practices (46:04).

• User Behavior Insights:

  • Hosts riff on how most people just use AI as a supercharged Google or for silly image generation—not for its theoretically grander use cases.
    (“They basically have realized that the only ways people use it is as Google. So essentially just googling things and to create sloppy pictures.” – Matt, 36:26)

5. Local Weather Segment – The Wedding Forecast (48:04–53:07)

• Chris Bailey’s Forecast:

  • Meteorologist Chris Bailey warns that Billy’s wedding (Lancaster, 5:30 pm) sits on a knife-edge for likely thunderstorms, with precise location making all the difference. (“You hope for Billy’s sake if you’re going to be outside, you’re in the Fayette Mall part of town. … It is a game time decision.” – Chris Bailey, 49:43)
  • Chris’s “dad advice”: safer to move the event inside (“I would say that inside is much safer than the outside route…” – Chris Bailey, 50:03)
  • Hosts predict Billy’s stubborn optimism will make him push for outdoors regardless.

• Fun Side Details:

  • Correction: The body of water near the site is the Dix River, a tributary of the Kentucky River/Lake Harrington (52:09).
  • On whether Ryan’s pre-wedding prayer will be filmed: “God allows Mario. He gets a break for social media.” (Matt, 52:47)

[Julie Pinero]

Family's expanding.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, it's like the Brady Bunch, you know, they just added Cindy, Jan and Marcia.

[Julie Pinero]

So you're, you got a lot of Cindy's, Jans and Marshes in your life.

[Matt Jones]

Exactly.

[Julie Pinero]

Wasn't it their names?

[Ryan]

Yes, it was.

[Matt Jones]

And it was what? Greg, Peter and Bobby.

[Ryan]

That's very good, Alice.

[Matt Jones]

And then what were the parents names?

[Ryan]

Mike.

[Matt Jones]

I wouldn't got Carol.

[Ryan]

Carol.

[Matt Jones]

Nice.

[Ryan]

Got them all.

[Matt Jones]

That's the way we all became the Brady Bunch.

[Ryan]

What about the butcher?

[Matt Jones]

Sam?

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

About the dog that I don't know.

[Ryan]

Tiger.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I try not to like dogs.

[Julie Pinero]

So Mario's face over here doesn't.

[Matt Jones]

Mario, did you. Was the Brady Bunch ever on when you were, when you were there? Okay. People were, people were very excited about your ox cord day. And I'm glad it doesn't look like you put. I was worried you're gonna put the video out of me dancing to Candy Rain.

[Ryan]

He should have.

[Matt Jones]

You know what though? If Shannon plays it again today, I'll dance again.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

That song.

[Shannon]

Let's do it.

[Matt Jones]

That's it. Do it. That song has a way of getting me excited and I don't know why, because it's not, I just not Even, like. I don't even know if those kids had another song. But there was something about the.

[Julie Pinero]

The.

[Chris Bailey]

The.

[Matt Jones]

The bop.

[Julie Pinero]

Yeah, the bop.

[Ryan]

The bop.

[Julie Pinero]

That's a great start. On Mario Day, I actually hated. We missed some of the songs on our travels.

[Ryan]

Maybe we do a Michael Jackson when you guys were gone.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Well. So. So there you go. We've got some stuff to get to. It was a big day in UK sports yesterday, but I'm about to say a Senate. Shannon. I've never said in my life.

[Shannon]

Really? Okay.

[Matt Jones]

You know, when you end up with a house, which I get a lot of people out there, you know, this. It just took me longer. Don't get on me.

[Yamanika]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You start to find things that you never cared about in life ever. Never even thought about that. Then all of a sudden, you wake up one day, and it can ruin your day. What was it today? I got my car, you know, I was like, all right, we're gonna go. We're gonna go to McDonald's, go do the show. Last day for the weekend. Got the weekend off. It's my first weekend off in eight years.

[Ryan]

Wow.

[Matt Jones]

You know, with no show. It's true. And then I pull out and I see my flowers are dead.

[Shannon]

You gotta water those things.

[Matt Jones]

Well, no.

[Shannon]

What do you mean, no?

[Matt Jones]

No, they do. I mean, there's people who do them.

[Shannon]

Oh, you have people who do them. Look at you.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, but, like, there's.

[Julie Pinero]

And it's been raining enough.

[Matt Jones]

And it's been raining a lot now. What do you call those big white flowers that are in front of my house? Are those gardenias, I believe.

[Ryan]

Maybe. I'm not sure.

[Matt Jones]

Well, they're like. They're sloop.

[Ryan]

Drooping down.

[Matt Jones]

Drooping down. It literally got me to get out of my car.

[Ryan]

Wow.

[Matt Jones]

And I walked over to him, and I was like, get up.

[Shannon]

Give him a pep talk.

[Matt Jones]

I tried to push him a pep talk. And I was like, why did they die? It feels like I just. Two or three days ago. They look like they were good.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

And they looked happy. And then I drove around the neighborhood. And they're all dead.

[Ryan]

Yeah, they don't stay in bloom very long.

[Matt Jones]

Just a few days.

[Ryan]

It's some. Some flowers don't stay in bloom very long.

[Matt Jones]

Well, it wasn't just mine. A lot of people have them, and they looks like. Did they all just have a memo? We're all dying right now? Yeah, I know they were good this. I know they were good this weekend because I noticed them.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Can they die that quickly?

[Chris Bailey]

Some.

[Ryan]

Some don't stay.

[Matt Jones]

It's not very long. Humans that can wither away slowly.

[Ryan]

That's true.

[Matt Jones]

They just die.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'm afraid so.

[Shannon]

I have to go out and water my flowers like every couple of days.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I don't do that.

[Julie Pinero]

But I gotta run that water bill up.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, but why did they. I thought I'm starting to like them.

[Julie Pinero]

I just. Better than the flowers. This new mat.

[Matt Jones]

I've never had one thought about a flower before ever.

[Ryan]

Who is this guy? He's talking about flowers and he's fountain not working properly.

[Chris Bailey]

I know.

[Matt Jones]

I don't want to care about those things.

[Julie Pinero]

You'll be pulling weeds out of your yard.

[Matt Jones]

No, I'm not doing that. So I'm not gonna. But I don't know.

[Ryan]

Bugs in your pool.

[Matt Jones]

I never cared about flowers ever. It's never even occurred to me. You know people say look at those pretty flowers. Never even think thought about it.

[Ryan]

But this is your house, so you're proud of it.

[Matt Jones]

Pretty with the flowers, you feel like

[Julie Pinero]

you let them down.

[Matt Jones]

I've done something because I was like, did I. Did I drop something out all of a sudden, all at once started drooping, sad. And then. But then I saw everyone else's did too. And unless we have a gardenia killer running around, then I feel like it's probably just the natural progression of things. I keep saying it. A gardenia. Is it a garden?

[Ryan]

I'm not for sure what it is.

[Matt Jones]

They're white. Yeah, they're very pretty.

[Ryan]

They're very pretty.

[Matt Jones]

So the landscaper was like, well, you know, if you want more flowers, you tell. But I wouldn't know what to order.

[Ryan]

I wouldn't either.

[Matt Jones]

Give me six pinks.

[Julie Pinero]

Fake ones.

[Ryan]

Give me something in August.

[Shannon]

I got some of these things and this is a great name. A red hot poker.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, see I. That sounds good. See, you need to die as quick as these gardenias did because that's. That feels like that's depressing it. They should at least get to football season.

[Julie Pinero]

Yeah, they gotta last listen all summer.

[Matt Jones]

So anyway, look at this new mat. Of all the things to.

[Ryan]

But.

[Matt Jones]

Well, don't act like you're not new. You are in here talking about how you were excited a new daycare.

[Julie Pinero]

No, not excited. It was sad. Sad daycare, breakups. It's hard. It's hard on the family.

[Matt Jones]

Why are you breaking up?

[Julie Pinero]

We're just moving to new one. But we like our old one, so it's hard to say goodbye.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, so it's a bad relationship. You still love her, but like the spark's gone.

[Julie Pinero]

No, not even that. Just a new opportunity opened and it was a tough decision.

[Ryan]

Little Avery just made all of her friends

[Matt Jones]

a waiting list. They have waiting lists for daycare?

[Julie Pinero]

I couldn't. That was my biggest takeaway with having a child. Is that in Lexington, if you want to go to a daycare, you should have signed up 10 years ago.

[Matt Jones]

You said there was a three year wake waiting list. But the kid will be a grown up in three years.

[Julie Pinero]

Exactly.

[Sean Clements]

That's.

[Julie Pinero]

I'm like, how do you all do this? Do you apply before you have a kid?

[Matt Jones]

I think you have to apply before you even contemplate getting pregnant.

[Julie Pinero]

I think so. I think you apply for daycare before you go ahead and do it.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Shannon]

Just in case.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon, maybe we, you and I should be applying for daycare right now. What's your kid's name? I don't know.

[Ryan]

To be determined.

[Matt Jones]

Actually, the mother to be determined.

[Julie Pinero]

My application said TBD is asking questions about the baby. I'm like, I don't know. It's not here yet.

[Matt Jones]

So there you go. How old?

[Ryan]

We're gonna see dilemmas of new parents and new homeowners.

[Matt Jones]

There you go. And you're like, you're the old man here, that you've been through all this.

[Ryan]

I'm. Yeah, I'm ready for my kids to get out back out of the house, ready for school, college to start. So I'll get the house back to myself again.

[Matt Jones]

That's the opposite of when you get the house back to yourself. Except Mario.

[Ryan]

Mario coming over every night.

[Matt Jones]

I heard you were the play by play guy or PA Guy for the

[Ryan]

legend on field announcer for the Legends last night. You know, the dizzy bat race. You know the human ring toss.

[Matt Jones]

Spends his entire evening at the Legends game. Like saying what? Here comes guests.

[Ryan]

Well, here's one line I use last night. Don't forget tomorrow night, princess night. You know, Matt Jones is going to be here for it. I got a good round of applause.

[Matt Jones]

What'd you say?

[Ryan]

Don't forget to come tomorrow night. It's princess night. You know, Matt Jones is going to be here for.

[Matt Jones]

Said that.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Why are you using my name? I didn't agree to this.

[Ryan]

And they have a race where they.

[Matt Jones]

What's a princess night?

[Ryan]

Where I think little girls can come dress.

[Matt Jones]

Why did you say I was going to be there? Because you like, you know, little sounds. Mo.

[Fred Armisen]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Don't say that again.

[Julie Pinero]

I don't think that landed, though. You. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Got a good, good laugh.

[Julie Pinero]

Who laughed?

[Chris Bailey]

You.

[Ryan]

You?

[Chelsea Handler]

Me?

[Matt Jones]

I'VE seen you tell jokes that get just.

[Shannon]

At least you couldn't use your teeth last night. You know?

[Matt Jones]

How many of these games are you doing?

[Ryan]

Well, last year I did like, about 10. But this year, the last night was the first one I've done all summer.

[Shannon]

Might be the last one you do this summer.

[Matt Jones]

Maybe you didn't.

[Julie Pinero]

Well, now Matt's got to go.

[Matt Jones]

I'm not going.

[Fred Armisen]

Promoted it.

[Ryan]

So you really call Stein. Throwing out the first pitch tonight, too, by the way.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, well, that's good.

[Nick Turturro]

So.

[Matt Jones]

So they call you in when everyone else is sick. Is that what.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'm the guy in the bull.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know why they wouldn't want to use you all the time. I mean, you have to be. Well, a bigger night. Well, maybe that's why. Than anyone else that would.

[Ryan]

But they've had. They've got Microphone Mike. He's been doing it for like 15 years.

[Matt Jones]

Still out there.

[Ryan]

Yes. Oh, yes.

[Julie Pinero]

He is the Lexington legend.

[Ryan]

He is.

[Matt Jones]

Microphone Mic has been going for a long, long time.

[Ryan]

So his kid was playing in a baseball tournament, I think in Missouri, so, like, called me out of the bullpen to do last night.

[Sean Clements]

Wow.

[Matt Jones]

Microphone.

[Ryan]

Microphone Mic.

[Julie Pinero]

Still holding it down.

[Matt Jones]

Well, good. I'm glad you're doing that. And I won't put you on the spot, but I heard the money you make. How could you not? You just. You just like to be out in public, right?

[Ryan]

I mean, doing the games are fun for me. I enjoy doing the games.

[Matt Jones]

Who are they? Affiliate with anyone?

[Ryan]

No, they're independent, but they're in first place right now.

[Matt Jones]

What is the league?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You don't even know what the league.

[Ryan]

I don't even know what it is.

[Matt Jones]

Who did they play last night?

[Ryan]

Charleston River Dogs.

[Matt Jones]

I feel like they always play Charleston. Are there any other teams but them in Charleston?

[Julie Pinero]

Who's the power? Where are they from?

[Ryan]

They play the West Virginia Power, I think.

[Matt Jones]

Is that different than Charleston?

[Ryan]

I think so.

[Julie Pinero]

Okay, well, enjoy Princess night.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, Princess.

[Ryan]

Leave me out of where your princess costume.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so. And then tomorrow, of course, is Billy's wedding.

[Julie Pinero]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Um, I went and picked up my suit.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Ready to go. Are you? Do we know what's the latest weather forecast? I tell you what, text Chris Bailey and see if he will come up on Came on here. You need to probably tell him where the wedding is and he can give us the temperature. I don't want to spoil it, but Billy has a pretty big thing happening.

[Julie Pinero]

It can't be done indoors and it

[Matt Jones]

can't be done Indoors and would likely. I guess they would just have to punt the thing they're going to do that will break his heart.

[Julie Pinero]

I think they're more likely to leave us out in the rain so they can still leave that in the wedding.

[Matt Jones]

The worst would be to have a game time decision because again, we're not saying what it is, but something. Well, Shannon, you all have not said what it is, right?

[Yamanika]

No.

[Shannon]

No, we have not. No, no, no, no.

[Matt Jones]

So if it can't happen, they're going to be really bummed. And I'm gonna be bummed because I'm kind of looking forward to it. It was supposed to be a surprise and somebody. I think Ryan leaked it.

[Ryan]

I didn't leak it.

[Shannon]

Maybe to our inner circle. No, not.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. We're the only ones that know, I think.

[Julie Pinero]

Yeah, we discussed it at the landfill show.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Nick Turturro]

Okay.

[Julie Pinero]

That's where. That's where it spread.

[Matt Jones]

So I hope it happens for him. But I guess we need to ask Chris Bailey so we'll know.

[Julie Pinero]

They've really been counting on this part of the event for several months. I'd hate for it to just partially

[Matt Jones]

why I think we're wearing the suits. We're wearing.

[Shannon]

Yes.

[Julie Pinero]

Yeah, I have an update on their wedding. I guess it's an update. I was driving downtown this morning. On my way here, I saw Billy and Marissa on the sidewalk with their marriage certificate. So I gave them a loud congratulations. They went, that looks like they have the official paperwork. They've made the next tomorrow off.

[Matt Jones]

They're already done.

[Julie Pinero]

But I stuck my head out the window, almost rear ended the car in front of me.

[Matt Jones]

What we're doing tomorrow is just for show.

[Julie Pinero]

Yeah, well, maybe I haven't signed it yet. You have to acquire the. I signed mine at the wedding, so maybe they're waiting to actually.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, you signed yours at the wedding?

[Chris Bailey]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So I have a question. Why do we have to have a

[Shannon]

marriage license so the state can get more money from you?

[Matt Jones]

It's. I mean, if you're asking, like, really why. Yeah, probably for tax reasons. Married people get tax benefits. And I would think that in order. This is just.

[Yamanika]

I.

[Matt Jones]

It's a fair question. You know, when. When there was the debate in America about gay marriage, one of the arguments was, why is the state involved with marriage anyway? Like, it's a bond with God. Why don't you just do it? Why does it stay? And I think the answer is. And maybe somebody can tell me if there's more. I think it's like just literally a tax thing.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Because you get a marriage tax credit, you get to file jointly. There are things that, you know, I mean, I'm sure as married people, you know of other things that happen when you're married. And so you probably have to show the state you can't just. I can't just say I'm married. You actually have to be married.

[Ryan]

Makes sense. I've always kind of wondered why I had to have a marriage license.

[Matt Jones]

That's. That's just me saying that. I don't know for certain that's it, but I would think that's part of it.

[Julie Pinero]

Maybe even, like if you got a, you know, sharing insurance. I think you have to prove it.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, exactly. Death benefits, you know, at your. At your job. I mean, I think there's probably things that you get if you're married that you would not get otherwise. And if that's going to be the case, you have to do it through the state. You can't just go, by the way, I was married to Mario, and so he get. He. We get a tax break.

[Ryan]

Makes perfect sense. We learned something today.

[Shannon]

Cost you 60 bucks.

[Matt Jones]

And is that what it costs?

[Shannon]

Yep. So everybody that's married in Kentucky. Tom. 60.

[Chris Bailey]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

When you see a married couple, you know they have $60. Yeah, that's exactly right. 859280, 2287. There was a open football practice and an open basketball practice yesterday. We will talk about what happened and more. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

[Ryan]

Hey.

We recommend some of our recent episodes with Ben Stiller.

[Matt Jones]

The definition of what is a movie has kind of changed anyway, too, Right?

[Shannon]

What do you think it is now?

[Matt Jones]

It's images and words being spoken, captured by some sort of technology.

[Sean Clements]

Danny McBride.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, that's fantastic.

[Sean Clements]

And you make it on.

[Matt Jones]

You make your own.

[Ryan]

[Sean Clements]

I call him Tarot Reed.

[Julie Pinero]

It's a good name.

[Shannon]

They're all named after cast members of American Pie.

[Sean Clements]

Oh, gotcha. I call. I don't. I never looked up if she was in this, but I call him Leechy Sobieski.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I don't think she was an American Pie, but I haven't looked it up.

[Sean Clements]

Haven't looked it up.

[Matt Jones]

She was prominent.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Sean Clements]

Then Mary Steenburgen.

[Chelsea Handler]

[Fred Armisen]

Now.

[Chelsea Handler]

Our town is small taters by most standards, right? But to the people who grew up here, it's everything.

[Yamanika]

What happens when a quiet Tennessee town becomes the front line in a battle over the future of America?

[Ryan]

Developers?

[Matt Jones]

Right wing ties have purchased hundreds of

[Ryan]

acres of land in the area.

[Matt Jones]

The first thing you see when it pops up is pioneers in Appalachia.

[Yamanika]

But they weren't just planning houses.

[Chris Bailey]

We need cities on a shining hill

[Matt Jones]

that exemplify and embody the Christian way of life.

[Shannon]

Stop right there. Is that normal?

[Yamanika]

A podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment? God need men to rule and decides to fight back.

[Matt Jones]

Do not use my hard work to sell your bull.

[Chelsea Handler]

They're not just opposing what's being planned for here.

[Matt Jones]

Our hometown is not a test tube.

[Chelsea Handler]

They feel like they're standing in opposition to an entire administration.

[Matt Jones]

Guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies now, did you?

[Carrie Brownstein]

Hey, Portlandia fans.

[Fred Armisen]

Kerry Brownstein and Fred Armisen here.

[Carrie Brownstein]

You know us. Or rather, you know them. Tony and Candace, Nina and Lance, Spike and yes, the chicken.

[Fred Armisen]

We've played a lot of iconic characters over the years, but today we're showing up as ourselves to tell you About Podlandia AO Rewatch our brand new podcast.

[Carrie Brownstein]

Each week, we'll revisit an episode of Portlandia from the very beginning, breaking down the sketches, exploring the backstories of our most iconic characters, revisiting the Portland locations you know and love, and opening up about our creative process.

[Fred Armisen]

How did any of this get made? Why did he think that was a good idea? We're ready to talk about it.

[Carrie Brownstein]

And we'll also be joined by the people who helped bring it all to life, guest stars, collaborators, and friends, including director Jonathan Krisel, the mayor himself, Kyle McLaughlin, legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more.

[Fred Armisen]

Kyle is going for it. Here you fully improvised, not just words, but a song.

[Shannon]

Well, I thought he was gonna write. I thought you were all gonna write a song.

[Fred Armisen]

I remember you thinking that.

[Carrie Brownstein]

Listen to Podlandia AO rewatch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Matt Jones]

That's what they are now. Send me dead flowers by the US Mail. All right. So people are telling me my flowers are hydrangea.

[Shannon]

Hydrangeas.

[Ryan]

Hydrangeas.

[Julie Pinero]

Hydrangeas. What?

[Shannon]

Hydranges.

[Matt Jones]

Hydranges. And they say when it rains, they. They carry water and they droop, but that they'll come back. But you said they only bloom for three to five weeks a year.

[Ryan]

That's what one of my guys said. Yeah. They only bloom.

[Matt Jones]

That feels like not a great investment.

[Ryan]

Three to five weeks.

[Matt Jones]

It's been about three to five weeks. Yeah, but they didn't. They didn't look dead. They just were drooping. So maybe that's the water. Maybe they. Maybe Shannon, when they dry, they'll be back. Perky.

[Ryan]

Bounce back.

[Shannon]

Yeah, that's good.

[Matt Jones]

All right, come back.

[Ryan]

Clear it out here.

[Matt Jones]

But either way, these are things I don't want to think about.

[Julie Pinero]

You're thinking about them now, but I'm right now.

[Ryan]

Your fountain was working still yesterday, so

[Matt Jones]

sort of that thing. That thing's a whole thing. 772-774-5254 is the text machine. Nick Sinzel plays for the Legends.

[Ryan]

He didn't play. He didn't play last night.

[Matt Jones]

They say he's hurt.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Speaking of the reds, let me just. Before we get to Kentucky, I. I'm not. People keep asking me, like, are you back? Because they're on a little bit of a streak.

[Ryan]

Just swept the.

[Matt Jones]

Swept a's. They're now 56 and 58. Four and a half back of the wild card at this time last year, they were seven back and then made it. And made it. I'M still not there. Hunter Green got hurt. He's probably out for the rest of the year.

[Ryan]

Heard that.

[Matt Jones]

So. And they, they, they, they have a series of series here that. Where they're playing decent teams. They've got. But they remember at the end of the year they got like seven games versus the Dodgers. Six, seven games versus the Braves. They're scheduled. So I'm not, I'm not in yet. Just for the record now, if we sweep the Nationals this weekend, we'll talk.

[Shannon]

But you're close.

[Julie Pinero]

You're considering getting back in the.

[Matt Jones]

At the National Socks. If they can win four of those six to get to.500, then we'll talk about it. But they're on the road. I'm just going to expect them to go, oh, and six. And then I can begin football.

[Ryan]

There's.

[Matt Jones]

I did watch the game, though, yesterday during, during Matt and Myron on my little computer.

[Ryan]

There is something historical going on with the Reds. Sal Stewart could become the first rookie to lead the league in RBI since, like, Ted Williams.

[Matt Jones]

That's good. I'm amazed because we have no one ever on base, so it's amazing. Rbi, solo home run. Yeah. They have Ellie hitting right before him, though. That probably. That probably helps.

[Chelsea Handler]

All right.

[Matt Jones]

So they did a football and basketball practice. Of course. I thought yesterday's show was fine because we were doing the whole basketball practice thing. The only thing that came out after the show is that that Jerome. Jerome or Jerome Jerome.

[Julie Pinero]

With an end.

[Matt Jones]

With an end. Jerome Morton won the Summer Basketball challenge, basically. I guess with the stats they use, he had the best summer of all the players. What do you think of that? Is he like. He's going to be a real contributor, isn't he? I mean, he's kind of been an afterthought when we thought about this team. But I think he's going to be a real contributor.

[Julie Pinero]

Yeah, I think he'll be big in like a. Come in and just play as hard as you can for, you know, 10 minutes a game, especially defensively. We're still not clear on what he won. He had the most wins of the summer. I don't know if that just means they count every time you play five on five or you're on the winning side or won certain drills. But he and male.

[Matt Jones]

But he won something.

[Julie Pinero]

Yeah.

[Carrie Brownstein]

Yeah.

[Julie Pinero]

I mean, that was for the whole. All the weeks of practice they wrapped up yesterday. So it's kind of a surprise. A guy coming from Washington State, not one of the names we talked about a lot, being their leader and Celebrating,

[Matt Jones]

you know more about this kid because he was at George Rogers Clark up in Lexington.

[Ryan]

Played at George Rogers Clark. Big energy guy. And I think Drew's right. I think you put him in for like 8, 10 minutes a game. He's gonna bring a lot of energy.

[Matt Jones]

Can he shoot?

[Ryan]

He knocked down a shot when Mario and I were there yesterday. But I think if I understood, like, this chart they keep, like, you get points if you, like, cause a steal or get a turnover or a deflection or something, they keep points. And for him to do it over the whole summer tells me he's gonna be on the floor a little bit.

[Matt Jones]

I think he's gonna be on the floor. I think that's good. That's exciting. Gonna be on the floor. Um, then there was the talk of getting another player, Keyshawn Hall. He made out a tweet. That's the guy from Auburn. He put out a tweet that seemed to suggest he was down to Kentucky and South Carolina. He didn't say that, but he just had a picture of a Kentucky player, or, excuse me, Kentucky and St. John's he had a picture of a Kentucky player and a St. John's player, Trilly Donovan, who, to be fair, has not had a very good record when it comes to Kentucky in the last years. Not with Pope. He seemed to know what was happening with Cal, but maybe not with Pope. He did say he thought Kentucky was out, which would suggest he's going to St. John's do you think we're out?

[Julie Pinero]

If this were three years ago, truly, I would believe it.

[Carrie Brownstein]

He's.

[Julie Pinero]

As you we mentioned, he's not been that accurate. I still think they'd probably rather have Kohler, Mitchell, but those guys. It's looking like hall has better chances of actually being eligible right now.

[Matt Jones]

He's got the guy. He's. Hall is the one guy you could take right now and you could know he's going to play. I think he's the only guy that no matter how these court cases go, as long as they don't say all fifth years are out, which I don't think they can say because there's a couple states that have already said they can play. So, I mean, are you going to let people play in Ohio and Tennessee, but not the other states? That's hard for me to see. I think Keyshawn, he. He's the safest guy. Would you agree?

[Julie Pinero]

Yeah. At least with eligibility now, it was how it'll work out. He's more of a concern. I would think they're still at least considering it, not knowing what the other guys are doing because Mark Pope seems very interested in adding someone. He brings it up every time we've heard from him this summer.

[Matt Jones]

The ncaa, by the way, said that they're going to put ghost punishments on coaches. This is really for football. But ghost, basically, if you take a player thinking he's going to be eligible and then he's not, the coach will be suspended for half the season and loses pay.

[Ryan]

Really.

[Matt Jones]

So they're putting it on the coach.

[Shannon]

Whoa.

[Matt Jones]

Would you take the risk? I think most coaches would say no.

[Julie Pinero]

Yeah. A lot of coaches are going to change their tune on gambling with some of these guys.

[Matt Jones]

I think these. I think the ncaa though, that they've got to. And they're going to have to decide this in the next week because of football.

[Ryan]

Sure.

[Matt Jones]

They've just got to. It's like just eat it. I think that.

[Nick Turturro]

What's the.

[Matt Jones]

Why are they fighting this? We know starting next year, all fifth year guys are going to be able

[Ryan]

to play, so why not?

[Matt Jones]

Why are you trying to hold out this year?

[Ryan]

I don't understand.

[Matt Jones]

What's the. What, what. What are you. What are you accomplishing?

[Julie Pinero]

They just keep stacking Ls and anyway, right.

[Matt Jones]

Raising legal fees and people continue to sue you. You lose every lawsuit, just drop it.

[Ryan]

But the NCAA usually takes forever to make a decision.

[Matt Jones]

But you don't have a lot of time. I mean, right now, football, the season's going to start now, I've been told. Source tells Matthew Harper Jones okay, all right. You can. This is one of the times you can aggregate all you, all you, all the trill in my heart. 60 threes and all that. If allowed. Alex Afare, he's playing at Kentucky next year.

[Fred Armisen]

Wow.

[Ryan]

That's big news.

[Matt Jones]

If allowed. He is around. He's not in camp yet, but he's around just waiting for the. Waiting for everybody to feel good enough for him to go. Right now there's still kind of a wait and see.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

But the moment they feel good enough, I think you would have Alex Safari.

[Ryan]

That's big news. A guy that was, you know, obviously was maybe your best defensive player last year and you bring him back this year on a kind of a position of need.

[Matt Jones]

Now, I would say with the caveat, I guess if some NFL team called and said we need you right now, he's going to take that, might take that. I'm just saying though, the working plan is Alex Safari is on the team. If they feel like he will be able to Be eligible to play.

[Julie Pinero]

That'd be a huge get. That's position. They could use a little more help going into next year with the way they talk about playing an aggressive defense. I think he'd be a great ad. We already know what he did for four years here playing as a true freshman. Now give him another shot with this new group.

[Ryan]

You got me excited just saying that.

[Matt Jones]

I can tell that's big.

[Julie Pinero]

No, he just like in the parking lot with his.

[Matt Jones]

I don't say where he is. I'm not. I'm not tracking him

[Ryan]

hanging around.

[Matt Jones]

I'm not tracking him. I'm just saying that, you know, there is the moment, I think that they feel like that can happen. I think it. It would happen now. Of course. Look, somebody calls and says, hey, we're going to put you on the guaranteed roster of the Cowboys, he's probably going to go, but I. I think for right now, wow. That's where it is. I will talk a little bit about the football and then take a call. 859-28022 87 KSR. How do you say the floor flower? Flower again? Hydrangea ranges.

[Ryan]

Hydrangea.

[Matt Jones]

Hydrangeas. Angie says I have hydrangeas. Don't listen to these guys. The rainfall makes them droop down. They'll come back. But you can also go outside and do what I do and give them pep talks. I think I will do that today.

[Ryan]

Shannon, I think we have a video content.

[Shannon]

Who you really need is Ryan to take a shirt off and give a pep talk to the flowers.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I'll give it to him. I know how to talk to flowers. I'll talk to him like people talk to dogs. Don't you want to come back?

[Ryan]

Hydrangea tick. A knee.

[Matt Jones]

It's already taken. They're already there. Just waiting them back. I need them.

[Ryan]

Shut up.

[Matt Jones]

I need them back up. Okay. I hadn't heard that in a long time and I was good for having done that. 772-7745254. One person writes, Matt, could it be that Morton doing well is a weakness of our team, not a strength? Well, I mean, that's the thing you always wonder about in practice. Like when in football when they go, defense look great, then you go, what does that mean? The offense stinks. I mean, you never really know.

[Julie Pinero]

I take this as more of a positive. Just mainly he and Mason Williams, because both those guys are going to have to play. It's just they're practicing so hard. We just keep hearing hard worker. Hard worker. Mason Williams. He's the first one at practice. And then Jerome Morton. Yesterday we learned he has the most wins. That's what you want of two guys that are new to a stage this big and are going to have to play some quality minutes behind Zoom and Wilkins.

[Matt Jones]

One person writes. Matt Billy's wife has told the customers at her store the surprise about the wedding. Well, that's a good benefit for those people.

[Ryan]

That's true.

[Matt Jones]

It was a good. It was an incentive to go shop.

[Julie Pinero]

Yeah, we'll get to talk about it on Monday.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, we'll get to talk about it. Hardly Gilmore. It's probably the last time I'll get to make this joke. We hardly knew you, but he'll be back. Go through you did this year go through his history? Oh, goodness.

[Julie Pinero]

So he was here when did he was Nebraska after the first year he got all the way to Nebraska with Dane and was in spring camp and then left middle of spring. His first year came here and came back, then entered the back.

[Matt Jones]

He commits here.

[Julie Pinero]

Yes.

[Ryan]

And he played as a freshman and had a pretty good freshman year.

[Matt Jones]

Played left to go to Nebraska. Now pick it up from like had

[Julie Pinero]

a locker, was in spring training in Nebraska, then comes back here for his sophomore year. Then this past spring, was Baylor before Louisville or Louisville?

[Ryan]

I think Louisville first.

[Julie Pinero]

Louisville first, then leaves Louisville for Baylor, then comes back here for a third time and then is now leaving here again.

[Ryan]

This.

[Matt Jones]

He's been here three times, basically. And he was dismissed from the team for rules violations.

[Julie Pinero]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Now, one of the things you heard about Hardly Gilmore is they could hardly keep him on the field because he was always getting in trouble. And that was pretty much universally known. I think. I think the reason he was on the team really is that wide receiver is the weakness of this team. And I think they were willing to give him a shot. And I don't know. I don't know what happened, but now he's gone. That's the. I'm worried about our wide receiver position. I mean, just the eye test, when we were out there, that was the one position that didn't look like an SEC team. The rest of them kind of did. That one didn't. I also think wide receiver is the one group where you can kind of, if you're a good offensive coordinator, scheme around not having great ones. You obviously want to have great ones, but you can, you know, get your little five, nine slot guys and do the best you can. But are you sad to see the third trip of Hardly Gilmore in?

[Julie Pinero]

It's almost comical, honestly, that because he's still young. He, he started here when he was 16 years old. He still has 16. Yeah, he, he reclassified. He's had quite the timeline. He reclassified to move to get to Kentucky early. He's probably maybe the biggest disappointing player in the last decade of someone who has potential and just can't get his head on straight. I mean Wilcox comes to mind recently. Another guy, I thought it'd be good but Gilmore was a four star recruit. We were excited to get him, get him so young, like, wow, this guy has time to be a breakout star

[Matt Jones]

and he just, well, you've been around.

[Julie Pinero]

Can't stay in line.

[Ryan]

Yeah, the freshman year, I'm pretty sure he caught a couple touchdown passes here. Kentucky's a freshman year but he got dismissed from the team here the first time. Now he's been dismissed from Nebraska, dismissed from Kentucky a second time. The dudes had three chances here.

[Matt Jones]

So he's been dismissed at three, Three different occasions.

[Ryan]

Three different occasions.

[Matt Jones]

That's like, what is he doing?

[Julie Pinero]

And then, I mean he's like 19 years old.

[Ryan]

Yeah, the dude obviously is talented and they knew they had a position of need. They could, he would play a lot this year, be one of our best receivers and he just has just blown it again.

[Matt Jones]

He's got to also though have some sort of charm Shannon to continue to get brought back.

[Shannon]

Yeah, he just does whatever he wants. Sounds like he doesn't really care about the rules.

[Ryan]

Like I don't, I don't know what happened at Louisville, but he left Louisville to go to Baylor. He wasn't at Louisville very long, so I don't know if he got dismissed.

[Julie Pinero]

I don't know if he moved in.

[Matt Jones]

Unbelievable.

[Julie Pinero]

Well, do we think Vince calls him, brings him to Louisville now?

[Matt Jones]

That would be great. Well, it depends. I mean I think somebody may do it just out of desperation.

[Julie Pinero]

He's got the talent.

[Matt Jones]

Maybe, I mean maybe he's back here.

[Julie Pinero]

How many chances can you give a guy?

[Matt Jones]

How many times can we have him here be the fourth?

[Julie Pinero]

That's why I said I'm not counting out when you, when he's already done it three times at this point. Sure, whatever.

[Matt Jones]

But this is our first. Like Will Stein dismissal for behavior.

[Julie Pinero]

So you know, he was when they brought him back. Even though Stein didn't have in the first two. He had to have been on a short lease. Like, yeah, probably we need you on your best behavior.

[Matt Jones]

He was at, he was at, he was at picture day. So he's going to be in the

[Julie Pinero]

picture four days ago, a picture of him in his jersey, said, year three.

[Matt Jones]

Let's go.

[Julie Pinero]

And then I think it was the next day, he was gone.

[Matt Jones]

All right, who's up next?

[Shannon]

Daniel.

[Matt Jones]

Daniel. Go ahead, Daniel. Well, I was gonna say the flowers that you have were probably hydrangeas, but someone's already run that for me. But if they were gardenias, you would have known because they have a really fragrant flower and they last a pretty long time, but then they turn brown. But the hydrangeas are probably. Is what your. Yeah, I think that's what I think. That's apparently what I have. And hopefully they'll bounce back. Maybe like Harley Gilmore. They come, they go, they come, they go.

[Julie Pinero]

There you go.

[Matt Jones]

Appreciate it. There you go. Yes. I like. You know, you never. One things I like about this, there's all experts, except on one topic. Nobody can fix fountains.

[Julie Pinero]

Still no fountain help.

[Matt Jones]

One guy said he could fix it, and then I lost his text message. I feel like he needs it. Deleted it. I don't think the world wants fountains to be fixed.

[Julie Pinero]

Just ask AI. They'll help you take a picture.

[Matt Jones]

Say, I'm trying to hold out.

[Ryan]

It was working yesterday.

[Matt Jones]

You know, there was. I saw a story, though, about AI that a lot of these AI companies are starting to panic, Shannon, because they. They had all this idea of all the ways people were going to use AI and they basically have realized that the only ways people use it is as Google. So essentially just googling things and to create sloppy pictures. And they're like, we. But you can. We can do all this other stuff. And everybody's like, no, Google and give me a picture.

[Shannon]

That's good. Yeah. I mean, that means.

[Matt Jones]

No, I agree with you. But they're like, the whole business model is propped on this idea that they're go, you're going to do all these other things. Now, I don't even know what that would be like. What are they going to do? They're not going to come to my house and fix the fountain.

[Shannon]

They can tell you step by step how to do it.

[Matt Jones]

But that's Google.

[Julie Pinero]

No, it's.

[Ryan]

It's better.

[Julie Pinero]

I use it a lot for stuff.

[Matt Jones]

When you say, like Google, you got

[Julie Pinero]

to find a website.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, okay. Condensing Google, sure.

[Shannon]

But it's all putting it there in one paragraph on how to.

[Matt Jones]

What happens if they put all the websites out of business and then when they search to do it, there's nothing to search.

[Shannon]

Well, then that's a problem.

[Julie Pinero]

Well, most of the websites that are existed, they've already stolen all that info.

[Matt Jones]

And see, I think we're headed. Can I make a legal prediction?

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

We are headed for what will be one of the bigger Supreme Court cases of our generation, which is intellectual property holders are going, they already have, I think, sued these AI companies, basically saying, you are taking what I've written and compiling it for your purposes, and they're going to sue under copyright. And the Supreme Court is going to have to decide essentially, is all the information that AI is built upon stolen material? And if so, do they have to pay all the people they stole it from? And if they do, then the companies just. They won't be able to do it. I don't know what they'll do. I think legally there's a strong argument that the whole basis of AI, we are compiling the world's information. You are stealing the world's information.

[Ryan]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

However, what are you gonna do? The whole economy is gonna be based on this. Are you just gonna break the whole economy? That case will probably come to the Supreme Court in the next two or three years. And I have no idea what they'll do because if you look historically at copyright cases, the conservatives and liberals don't line up to what you would think. They sort of split off in different ways. So I have no idea what the court would decide. But it does feel like to me, they just. The AI just steals.

[Julie Pinero]

But, like, who's in for like, yesterday I took a picture of my yard and asked Chad, I was like, what kind of weed is this? And it tells me the exact weed,

[Matt Jones]

what I need to kill out what that weed is. It is looking at websites that classify weeds.

[Julie Pinero]

But what website can be like, well, I'm the one that knows what.

[Matt Jones]

That's a great question. I don't know. I don't know how you would find out which one they stole. But we usually don't say, you can steal the. You know, you're fine to steal as long as you steal so much that we don't know where it came from. So I don't. It's legitimately baffling to me how this will work. But. But my point was that people, again, use AI just as Google, which is.

[Julie Pinero]

Or more so the stupid pictures. Like, we need these data farms because people can't stop photoshopping themselves.

[Matt Jones]

I have friends who. It's like just constant of those pictures.

[Ryan]

So here I have a question for you, Mr. Law Dog.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Ryan]

If you own a website, does that mean you own that information in your website?

[Matt Jones]

Well, sort of. Okay, so this is long, but I'll do the Short version, so that we can then take a break. If Kentucky is playing. Let's take Kentucky's open practice yesterday, and let's say Jerome Morton wins winner of the summer. If KSR writes that Jerome Morton won winner of the summer, we don't own the fact that he won winner of the summer. That's a fact.

[Ryan]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

But if we say, but the writing in which we describe how he won, we own that. So you own the artistic way you say something, but you don't own the fact. So when I was coming up on the blog, people will say, Matt Jones steals information. I distinctly would say there's a difference between the fact, that fact and how you wrote it. So if I just take your paragraphs and put them on my site, I'm stealing your work. That's a copyright violation.

[Ryan]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

But if I say Justin Rowland says Drew Franklin is leaning Tennessee, that's a fact. And that is. Okay. So how much of what AI is doing is taking the fact and how much is taking the writing? You see what I'm saying?

[Ryan]

Yeah. So AI eventually have to say, according to ksr, when they say.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know that. We'll have to see what courts say they have to say. But it's. I do think it's going to be a fascinating question, and I honestly think nine old Supreme Court justices probably are not the people to decide it, but that's who will do it. We'll take a break. Barry backs.

[Shannon]

Hey.

[Sean Clements]

This is Hayes Davenport and Sean Clements. We host the podcast Hollywood Handbook. Every episode, we're trying to help our guests improve their community careers by mainly focusing on how they can help us improve our careers.

[Shannon]

The show is famously super accessible, so you can easily jump into any of our 650 episodes and understand what's going on.

[Sean Clements]

We recommend some of our recent episodes with Ben Stiller.

[Matt Jones]

The definition of what is a movie has kind of changed anyway, too.

[Fred Armisen]

Right.

[Shannon]

What do you think it is now?

[Matt Jones]

It's images and words being spoken, captured by some sort of technology.

[Sean Clements]

Danny McBride.

[Shannon]

Oh, that's funny.

[Sean Clements]

Fantastic. And you make it on.

[Matt Jones]

You make your own.

[Ryan]

That's great.

[Sean Clements]

I call him Tarot Reed.

[Julie Pinero]

It's a good name.

[Shannon]

They're all named after cast members of American Pie.

[Fred Armisen]

Oh, got.

[Sean Clements]

I call. I don't. I never looked up if she was in this, but I call him Lee Sobieski.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I don't think she was an American Pie, but I haven't looked it up. Haven't looked it up. She was prominent.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Sean Clements]

Then Mary Steenbergen.

[Chelsea Handler]

Why are you guys talking to me? Like, did you feel so down to me that you think I don't understand your little play? Play?

[Sean Clements]

I just really trying to set you up for success here.

[Shannon]

Listen to Hollywood handbook on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Nick Turturro]

I'm Nick Turturro. You probably know me from NYPD Blue, the Longest Yard, or Spike Lee's blackkklansman. But I'm also from Queens, which means I know pizza. And on my new podcast, Delivering Happiness with Nick Turturro, I deliver pizza from Prince Street Pizza to a new guest.

[Matt Jones]

Are you delivering pizza now?

[Nick Turturro]

Then we sit down for a real conversation. I've shared a slice with everyone from Seth Rollins.

[Shannon]

What are you doing?

[Chris Bailey]

My belt.

[Nick Turturro]

To Alex Rodriguez. Just to let you people know we're talking to one of the goats here. To Bill Burr. I don't think I've ever met somebody

[Matt Jones]

so exactly out of their mind as I am.

[Nick Turturro]

And now we even have more great guests coming up, including the great John Turturro.

[Matt Jones]

It's called Happiness.

[Fred Armisen]

Now.

[Chelsea Handler]

Our town is small taters by most standards, right? But to the people who grew up here, it's everything.

[Yamanika]

What happens when a quiet Tennessee town becomes the front line in a battle over the future of America?

[Matt Jones]

Developers with right wing ties have purchased

[Ryan]

hundreds of acres of land in the area.

[Matt Jones]

The first thing you see when it pops up is pioneers and Appalachia.

[Yamanika]

But they weren't just planning houses.

[Chris Bailey]

We need cities on a shining hill that exemplify and embody the Christian way of life.

[Shannon]

Stop right there. Is that normal?

[Yamanika]

A podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment?

[Matt Jones]

God need men to rule.

[Yamanika]

Great. And decides to fight back.

[Matt Jones]

Do not use my hard work to sell your boy.

[Chelsea Handler]

They're not just opposing what's being planned for here.

[Matt Jones]

Our hometown is not a test tube.

[Chelsea Handler]

They feel like they're standing in opposition to an entire administration.

[Matt Jones]

Guess you didn't move in on a

[Yamanika]

bunch of dumb hillbillies now, did you? Listen to our town on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Carrie Brownstein]

Hey, Portlandia fans.

[Fred Armisen]

Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen here, you know us.

[Carrie Brownstein]

Or rather, you know them. Tony and Candace, Nina and Lance, Spike and yes, the chicken.

[Fred Armisen]

We've played a lot of iconic characters over the years, but today we're showing up as ourselves to tell you about Podlandia AO Rewatch our brand new podcast.

[Carrie Brownstein]

Each week we'll revisit an episode of Portlandia from the very beginning, breaking down the sketches, exploring the backstories of our most iconic characters, revisiting the Portland locations you know and love, and opening up about our creative process.

[Fred Armisen]

How did any of this get made? Why do we think that was a good idea? We're ready to talk about it.

[Carrie Brownstein]

And we'll also be joined by the people who helped bring it all to life, guest stars, collaborators and friends, including director Jonathan Krisel, the mayor himself, Kyle McLaughlin, legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more.

[Fred Armisen]

Kyle is going for it. Here you fully improvised not just words, but a song.

[Shannon]

Well, I thought he was gonna write. I thought you were all gonna write a song.

[Fred Armisen]

I remember you thinking that.

[Carrie Brownstein]

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back, Techie Sports Radio. You can kick back with Kornbread's Organic Social Spritz, a functional beverage made with adaptogens and nootropics for a light lift without hemp or alcohol. You can find it at Liquor Barn, Total Wine, Fresh Market, Cox's and Evergreen liquors across Kentucky. Cornbread Hemp.com Action to join Cornbread in the fight Cornbread Hemp grown for the good life I'm always amazed when the topic of law or things come up the way people will write me with very confident statements that are completely wrong. On the text machine, one person writes, matt, how can be a copyright violation if everything on the Internet is not. Is public domain? That's not a true statement. Everything on the Internet is not public. Everything on the Internet's pretty much owned. Right? Again, use KSR as an example. Everything on that website is now a copyright of ON3. Everything. If you take an article that Drew Franklin writes and you put it somewhere else, in theory, you can be sued. Now, people don't do it because it's a hassle. I mean, I was sued. What? What are you laughing about? I mean, there. Because you're right. There are people that do it and those people could be sued. I mean, is it worth going after them? No, but they could. And what you always gotta say to people is when you do that, one of these days, if you get, if you start making money, they'll sue you. In early days of ksr, in the early days of ksr, we would just like Career Journal would have a picture and we just put it on ksr. And then one time I got sued and so I stopped. And they were right. Honestly, they were right. You can't do that. But AI does that with everybody's pictures. So just something like just listening you

[Ryan]

guys talk about it. You're right. If they take sources from a thousand different things, a million different. A million different things, how do you police that?

[Matt Jones]

I don't know. Maybe you don't. Maybe you just say it's too big to fail. But that's.

[Julie Pinero]

We'll see.

[Matt Jones]

There'll be nine justices of the Supreme Court who will say that. Chris Bailey from WKYT is on the phone. Chris Bailey's not here to give his legal opinion. He's here to give his weather opinion. And Chris, Billy is getting married in. What is this land? Lancaster.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Lockridge park in Lancaster.

[Matt Jones]

Lockhat. Lockridge park in Lancaster. 5:30pm Give us the weather forecast.

[Chris Bailey]

Overlooking the Kentucky River. Did I hear him say that a few days ago?

[Matt Jones]

That's wrong, right?

[Ryan]

No, we were there. We did a show there.

[Matt Jones]

But I thought. People are telling me it's actually like Harrington. Is that not right? Regardless, you know where it is. Tell me what you think. Yeah.

[Chris Bailey]

Yeah. Well, first off, congrats, Billy. It's a, it's a big day for you, buddy. Well, you know the old adage, a little rain on your wedding day is supposedly good luck. There's likely to be some scatter showers tomorrow, some rumbles of thunder. 5:30, I think. Is that, what, is that what time? Yes, I, I recall him saying that a few days ago on air. So, yes, I think at that moment it is. We're walking a fine line with the thunderstorms trying to go to our south as opposed to kind of hanging there. So we're, yeah, we're going to be right on that balancing line a little bit,

[Matt Jones]

which is for what he wants to do the worst because he doesn't know if it'll be in or out.

[Chris Bailey]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. And obviously the safe bet is in. But at the, at that point, you know, it's on whether or not it rains in Lancaster overlooking the Lake Harrington or the Kentucky River. Wherever we're talking here is a game time decision.

[Matt Jones]

And let me ask you this, Chris. Let's say Chris Bailey's. Let's say Billy was Chris Bailey's son. And you know, they have a big, they've got a big surprise thing planned that has to be outside. Yeah. Would you say today in or out?

[Chris Bailey]

All right. I would be saying. So listen, your old man is going to give you a little sage advice here. I would say that inside is much safer than. Than the outside route, obviously, Billy's heart. Because. Because here, here, here's the thing with it. I mean, is there the chance that you could go all the way through 6:30 or 7 tomorrow and that wedding is over without, you know, one of those thunderstorms hitting that exact spot tomorrow? Yes. But you look at what happened just here in Lexington two days ago, east end of town. We had four and a half inches of rain on Paris Pike. It didn't rain a drop at the Fayette Mall. So, you know, you hope for Billy's sake if you're going to be outside, you're in the Fayette Mall. Part of.

[Matt Jones]

Will he be on Paris pike or will be Fayette Mall?

[Sean Clements]

This is.

[Matt Jones]

This is. And this is what we're talking about. About.

[Chris Bailey]

Or, or, or is he going to be right in the. In the middle. He's going to be betwixt the two, as we would say.

[Matt Jones]

Mario gets rained on. Ryan does not.

[Julie Pinero]

What side of the aisle.

[Matt Jones]

That's right. All right. Hey, Chris, you're on Chris Bailey, WKYT at Kentucky Weather on Twitter. Thank you very much, my friend.

[Chris Bailey]

You're welcome. And guys, if you all are outside tomorrow, need an update, text me, call me. We'll give you some play by play.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, okay.

[Nick Turturro]

I got you. All right.

[Matt Jones]

Thank you, ma'. Am. Appreciate it.

[Ryan]

Wow.

[Matt Jones]

What do you do if you're here?

[Shannon]

We're gonna. We're gonna get drenched, aren't we?

[Julie Pinero]

Yeah. I kind of feel like Chris was playing it nice to not be a bummer too.

[Matt Jones]

I kind of think I know, Billy. They're gonna push it. Yes, they're gonna push it. I think they're gonna try.

[Julie Pinero]

He's hard headed.

[Ryan]

He's hard headed and so much planning has gone into this.

[Matt Jones]

I think he's gonna push it. So I think it's. We could get wet.

[Julie Pinero]

I just got my. My shoes reshined and polished for this. I need to change to boots.

[Matt Jones]

I think it could be a boot day. I think I've just changed. I think I'm going to wear boots.

[Shannon]

Oh, no.

[Ryan]

I'm definitely bringing an umbrella.

[Shannon]

Outside, we're have a soft wet. Ryan Lemon doing the prayer.

[Julie Pinero]

I have an update on the body of water. It is the Dix River.

[Matt Jones]

So it's neither Kentucky River.

[Julie Pinero]

It is a tributary of Lake river or Laker.

[Matt Jones]

It's Dix River.

[Julie Pinero]

So we'll be overlooking the Dix River.

[Ryan]

So it's part of the Kentucky River.

[Julie Pinero]

Yes, a tributary river.

[Matt Jones]

So where's Lake Harrington. Because a bunch of the listeners said that's what was there.

[Julie Pinero]

Well, then the river leads into that, right?

[Ryan]

Sure.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. By the way, a lot of people have said they think it's neat that you're praying. They have asked if Mario can film your prayer. Would you be okay with that? Sure.

[Ryan]

Just put your heads down, your eyes closed by your head.

[Sean Clements]

Yeah.

[Shannon]

How's he gonna film doing that?

[Matt Jones]

I think you're allowed. God allows you to.

[Shannon]

To film it.

[Matt Jones]

God allows Mario. He gets a break for social media.

[Shannon]

I don't think God cares about social media.

[Matt Jones]

God has a prayer. Social media asterisk.

[Shannon]

He's up to something.

[Julie Pinero]

A prayer path, church's stream. Every Sunday, someone streams.

[Matt Jones]

Somebody's gotta work the camera.

[Ryan]

Good point.

[Julie Pinero]

It's to help get the message.

[Matt Jones]

Are you okay with that?

[Ryan]

Sure.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. I think that would be sweet. That's all we'll film, though.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

We'll be right back.

[Fred Armisen]
