Now here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (00:37):

I'm back. You know what it is. Don't act that,
y'all'll know me. You know what this is what Ira Metcalf,

Speaker 7 (01:03):
Some i'mwhere in Italy, Italy somewhere.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Yeah, this enjoying life. Ask me to fill on feeling
on Mondays. I'm excited this is this is like though,
Like it'd be like going to a Garth Brooks concert
and Ludacrous shows up. Right, that's a little bit changed.
It's gonna be like on Mondays. Right, you going there,
You're like, Oh, I'm looking for a great country music
concert and then all of a sudden Ludacros shows up.
It'd be a little of a different vibe. But I'm
(01:29):
excited for us. How y'all doing after the big baseball
weekend with Kentucky.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Well, dude, Drew is still wet, I think because he
was there and set through all the rain the pre game,
when the rainstorm.
Speaker 7 (01:41):
I was there all weekend. I saw every pitch, I
saw every rain delay. I think my shoes are still wet.
But I wouldn't change a single thing. That was such
a fun weekend, winning all three games, getting the shout
out yesterday. The weather couldn't have really been worse. Both
Saturday and Sunday got delayed. We spent a lot of
time in the concourse getting to no other baseball. But
at the end of the night they were holding up
(02:01):
the trophy and that's all that matters.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Clothes dry.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
We had a great time over there at Kentucky Proud
Park and so thrilled for what's next hosting Supers for
the first time next weekend.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Did you have proper rain gear? Like what was your saying?
Speaker 7 (02:13):
Not at all, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
I did.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
I did, but I had family and it was one
of those small umbrellas and when you're the when you're
the mail there, you say, ladies, yea, all take this
umbrella and I'm gonna sit here and get drenched. But
that that's We still had a good time regardless.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
That's tie. I mean. The cool thing though about getting
wet like that, like once you hit a certain wet point,
it doesn't really matter how much you know wedd you
get from there, right like at some point you know,
ten minutes in, it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
So and that's that's what I tweeted you guys last night.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
The people are crazy.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
On Saturday night, they started raining during the game, you
guys set through the rain through the end of the game.
But then on Sunday, Myron there were people standing outside
in line while it was rain during an hour and
a half rain delay. I mean it was unbelievable. The dedication.
I think the people show kudos to everybody out there
that did it.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
But after that, after that delay, after all that weight,
it just added to that excitement and made for such
a such a special night winning five zero. As I said,
they're hosting the Soupers for the first time next weekend.
Tickets are already sold out in the in the chairbacks
went on sale this morning. Those are gone only general mission.
It's just a fun time for Kentucky baseball and at
a school that doesn't have a lot of successful history
(03:23):
with Kentucky baseball, but back to back years winning the
regional here.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yeah, it was cool to watch. Man, was it? Ryan
Nicholson hit the bomb in the second Oh yeah, he's
a he's a Kentucky kid.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
He's saying that Mason and Mason Moore as a Kentucky kid,
so they pulled him through. It was Ryan Nicholson. Is
gotta be one of the hottest hitters in the country.
About Grant Smith making these acrobatic play he's out on
dec That.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Was Sports Center worth it.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
What Mason Moore is? What is he nine and on now?
And I think he's what twenty and one third inning
scoreless over the last two seasons, Like he's just been unhittable.
So that's gotta be cool. Where does go ahead?
Speaker 6 (03:57):
Well, look at you watching the game and become I'm
a Kentucky Batcat fan, Myron, look at that.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Oh, y'all didn't think I would do research? See I
heard so listen. I could tell the concern in Billy's voice,
like with the text meth I could hear Billy through
the text he was concerned, Like I think he was wondering,
like is he gonna get connected? Is he gonna be ready?
I think Billy was a little worried about what was
gonna happen with metcalf mondays you know, but no, I
was ready. I watched it was an exciting game. And
(04:23):
now I wonder though, like what in Kentucky where does
the Super Regional rank? Like I know obviously the basketball history.
I know football has been much bigger over the last
five to seven years, right, but now there's this sort
of baseball frenzy, So like, where would a College World
Series rank for Kentucky sports fans?
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Well, I'll say this, Myrin, I've lived here now for
twenty eight years, and I've always said, despite the UK
basketball success and the football success, Lexington is really a
baseball town. I mean the youth baseball. These guys win
World Series, you know, at all levels. I mean it
is a crazy baseball town. They produce a lot of big.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
League players out of this town.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
So if they can make it to the College World Series, Myron,
I mean, the whole the whole town will explode. You know.
I don't know if it would rank ahead of a
college football championship run basketball championship, but it would be
pretty big.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
So are you saying, like, okay, cause you said it's
a it's a local thing, so like baseball really big
in Lexington. Yes, I'm just saying, like the community really
embraces it.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Was just oh yeah, yeah, the youth leagues and then
like I said, there's they always win World Series titles
and the baseball in this town.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
And we proved it. Man.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
There were like six thousand people there every game this
weekend and even the series finale against Vanderbilt were like
six thousand people there every game, so packed it out.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
This New territory. They won the SEC for only the
second time ever. Yeah, second time winning there, back to
back here and then hosting for the first time, so
it's all new to us. It almost feels like, I
know they're not in the final four of the baseball
tournament yet, but getting that region heading into Supers it
kind of fel it was like we're in that basketball excitement.
Then you get a little more often in sports.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Yeah, I mean I've seen the buzz. It's been definitely
exciting to watch. I want to know what listeners think.
What's the number? What's the number I'll be giving.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Out two eighth to two eight seven eight cats.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
I want to know where this would rank, where it
ranks now, it's gonna question Tucky fans. Also, I'm gonna
do something every Monday I'm here. I'm gonna call it
Mary Mondays. So like I want you to call in,
tell me something good that happened to you over the weekend,
within the last week, just something to start the week
off right. Like it's so hard right to get going
on a Monday. That's what I'm saying. I want to
(06:41):
do my part to help people get right on Mondays.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Now.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Listen, I was watching the baseball game, and I was
thinking of my own baseball career, right, because I loved baseball,
but I wasn't good at it, right, And that's a problem,
Like it's a problem to like something and you're not
good at it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Right.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
So fifth grade, I go to little league tryouts. Okay,
and now my assumption is, even though I'm not great,
they don't have a black shortstop. Okay, they got a
white one, right, but they ain't got a black short stop.
So I feel like I got a chance here, right,
give me a shot. And I feel this ground ball,
and I make this throw the first base and in
my mind, we had to go inside in the gym
(07:16):
because it was raining, so our trial got rained out.
We're inside, so I throw to first base, fellas, and
in my mind, this is Ken Griffy Junior, like I
have just done Willie Mays, Like the whole world is watching.
The gym is full, and I have just made the
perfect throw to first base. That's gonna solidify me getting
this spot on this elite little league team. Right, this
(07:39):
ball went like fifteen feet above the first baseman, right,
and again we're in the gym, and it smacked the wall,
and it smacked it so hard that everybody just like
sort of jumped, you know, but it was the worst
throw literally in the history of Little League man, and
that was where my career ended. Like that's when I realized,
you know what, I should probably do something else because
(08:00):
in my mind, that's the best I have And now
I'm throwing at fifteen feet away from the first basement.
You know, dreams sometimes in early and for me, I'm
glad it did. I wouldn't have been a good baseball player,
but I still really loved the sport man and it's
cool cool to watch. Were you all baseball players? Did
you all play the game at any level?
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Myron?
Speaker 7 (08:18):
I tapped out of baseball pretty early, but we have
baseball greatness with us and Ryan Lemon is still a
record holder at his university several decades later.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Shouldn't say severally? What position did you play?
Speaker 8 (08:31):
Right?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
I was left field.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
I was an outfielder. I couldn't run, I couldn't hit,
but boy I could run, Myron.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
So, yeah, I stolen bases where that was my thing.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
So you were like Ricky Henderson at w Yeah, what's cool.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Kentucky Wesleyan College, come on the premier Division two institution
and all the land he.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Can kind of have the record, like there's not really
anyone close to him on the on the list. Like
when he does the season records, he's like number one,
number two, and number four in the All Timer. You
could build a Walmart between him and the next person
on the list.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
You were Superstara. I was just saying, no, I told
you master beat Bragg if I if I were good
at baseball, I would tell everybody.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Well, like I said, I had maybe big league speed,
but a little league bat.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
So that's why he couldn't go any the.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Little They jump in here just real quick, because I
saw you tweet out over the weekend, Ryan, a quote
from your playing days in a newspaper.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
This was the quote.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
This is Ryan right here, Myron.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
He said, I don't want to sound cocky, but I
don't think there's a catcher who can throw me out.
The Division one schools we played, Marlisill, Moorehead, Tennessee State
have all tried to throw it out. I have quickness
on my first couple of steps. If you get a
good lead and a good jump on a pitcher, you
can steal. So where where's that cocky is that?
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Now? Ryan?
Speaker 9 (09:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I mean right?
Speaker 6 (09:44):
What?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah? Is that real? That's a real quote. That's real.
That's a real quote. You can't be humble now, Like
you know, you're suddenly humbled if you're saying stuff like
I'm the greatest ever. You can end on that.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Man.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I knew when Corey Price tweeted that out that was
going to get me in trouble.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
I knew right then.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
Yeah, you get humbled pretty quickly when you when you
work with Matthew Harper Jones, because there's not much you
can do right when he's running the ship here.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Yeah, Matt will get on you. But get though those
moments though of sports excitement. We won the state track
championship to four by one when I was in high school, right,
so we were the best four by one team. We
win state. A reporter runs up to us and he's
interviewing us right to say, like, hey, how does it feel?
And I said, I believe. I said, we're the fastest
(10:28):
team in the world, right, Like that's where I was
at like that brag. So I get it. I get
feeling yourself in that moment when somebody asked you something
like that, right, So stand on him. Man, if you
are great, lean into that man like you should love
that you should be talking about that all day, especially
right now. Well, you know the uh.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
I got a lot of slock this weekend for some
of that stuff that Corey Price treated out. But I
was more proud of the fact Mayer and I hit
a grand total of three home runs mine college college
career three, and he found the box score for all
three of them.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
That was it because I was a very good hitter,
well as somebody who couldn't even be the black shortstop
on my little league team, you know what I mean,
Like it was just me competing against me, and I
didn't make the team. So I'm jealous of anybody who
can play that sport.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
It set you on the path where you can be
the medium mogul that you are today. See you are
that coach a favor, Thank you for setting you on
this path.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
You know what it's like when the coach looks at
you with disappointment like that in fifth grade, when everybody
knows you didn't make the team. Like I didn't have
to look at the tryout list. I knew that throw
was my tryout, and I knew based on the way
the coach looked at me because he gave me one
of those good try looks, but like you're never gonna
play for me, you know what I mean. So my
(11:44):
baseball dreams ended there, Shannon, What about you did your
dreams in early.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
No I actually played Division two n CUAA baseball at
Bellarman University here in Louisville. I had the best seventy
mile on hour fastball you've ever seen for a college pitcher.
I threw so slow that nobody could hit it, you know,
because they were bringing the guy throwing, you know, ninety
miles an hour. Then they would bring me in from
the bullpen throwing by seventy mile an hour fastball. They
couldn't touch it.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Man.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
But listen, at least you could play man, That's right.
At least we were at rival schools. We didn't play
at the same time, but we were at rival schools.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
It feels like to me, well, like outside of golf,
baseball is the most difficult sport to be good at. Right.
If you're just gonna pick up a sport out of
the blue, and you're like, Okay, I want to get
really good at this. I'm gonna invest a lot of
time and energy into it. Baseball to me is right
below golf in terms of trying to be decent at
a sport. You all agree or disagree with that?
Speaker 7 (12:36):
Oh thanks for making me feel good, Myron, because I
quit baseball to pick up golf and that's what I
played in high school. So making me look like the
real athlete on the panel here, I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
That's it. And I'm terrible at golf and that's the
hardest sport I think to be good at for sure,
But like baseball, like the timing is it really natural?
You know what I mean? Just like there's so many
elements of the game that I think you have to
have like a specific skill set for. So when I
was watching last night, I was like, Wow, these are
some really acrobatic catches. Mason Moore was the one I liked, though,
just like to be that cool and calm, uh you
(13:08):
know as a pitcher. I think that to me felt
like you can follow that dude, Like he kind of
had that bravado, that confidence that made you feel like,
you know what, this dude can lead us to the
College World Series. Did y'all feel like that?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Yeah, and he's he's from an area of Myron. That's
it's morehead Kentucky. It's where Morehead state if you're there. Yeah,
so you know that area where he's from. I mean
it's eastern Kentucky. And that game situation last night where
I think the bases were loaded, nobody out and he
got out of it. I mean I myself, you know,
I like, yeah, I jumped up off the couch because
that was a pretty big moment.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
You could tell it meant a lot to him to
do that.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
I don't even know till the game was over, and
it's came out in the press conference that he was
so sick the day before he didn't even go to
the stadium with the team for their Illinois game, and
he had to have two ivs just to be able
to pitch on Sundays. So that was kind of a
flu game performance by Mason Moore, who had a big
game last year in the regional. Yeah, and then got
called on again to uh, you know in state kid
make plays again this time after a couple of ivs,
(14:02):
just adding to his legacy.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
See that's how I know I'm different, Right that, Like
he said it after the game, Right, you find out
after the game he'd been that sick. See for me,
I would have had an IV like on the mound,
Like I would have had them come out, you know,
put an IV in me right, hospital bed, the whole deal,
and like, okay, delay a game. We're trying to get
him right, you know, he's sick. And then I would
(14:25):
have like yanked it all off and then pitched, you know,
So I would have really been theatrical with it, you know,
like the whole finding out after that somebody was sick.
That's pretty amazing. But me, I would have talked about
it going into the game, and I'm just wired that way.
I would want the praise that would come with that.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
Like Hugh Freeze up there in the window, that they'd
be you and the bullpen lay waiting for them.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I'd have a team of nurses, you know what I mean,
Like I'd have a team of nurses on the field,
like Matt maybe he can't, maybe he shouldn't be here
right like, and then just as they are wheeling me
off right that he's not going to be able to day,
I jump off the hospital bed, I run back to
the mound, and I keep pitching, because like, what's the
point of a flu game if you're not gonna milk it?
Like we talk about Michael Jordan's flu game. He really
(15:10):
milked that. I mean he was on the sideline collass.
People had to carry him. I think that's the way
it should be if you're sick going into a game
like that.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Fella yeah, Bill Russell coming out of the locker room,
you know, and it's Willis s free. It was Willis Reed. No, Bill, Yeah,
came out and played. But I loved it too when
like the cameras would zoom him on it and he's
talking to himself. He was like, come on, let's go,
you know, getting back in his own You could read
his lips what he was saying. He was It was
a very very good moment for that young win.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
That would have been Maron looking at the camera and
telling everyone, Hey, I'm sick. By the way, just everyone,
I'm sick. I need you to know I'm sick.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Listen. I would have had a blanket, you know, I
would a blanket over my shoulders, you know what I mean.
I would have been like, had someone take my temperature
after every couple of pitches, you know. So I mean
I would have really really milked it, you know.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
I go back in the dugout and sit in the
corner like all on a fetal position, like you're sick
and you can't honey move, Then you go back out
and you strike out the side.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I would have fallen down. I mean at some point
you would have fallen down too. Had to pick me
up like James Brown. You ever see the James Brown performance,
Like they would put a cape on me. I'd be like, okay,
I can't do it, and then I throw it off
and I go right back out Becaueah, you got a
milk a moment like that, man, and really really enjoy it.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Now.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
You said tickets are sold out already.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
The chairbacks, So they went on sale this morning. Any
reserve seating's gone.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
General emissions still might be. I don't know how quickly
they went, but all that went on sale at nine am.
So UK Baseball tics ti x dot com. If he
mon wants to try their.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Luck so they can get tickets or no. You said
the chairbacks are.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Out, the chair backs are gone. There might still be
some general missions. All that went on sale an hour ago.
I don't know what's left at this moment, but it's
worth a shot if you're interested.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Man.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
That's a big moment. It's what two wins and there
in the World Series.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
They played two out of three against the winner of
Oregon State, and you see Irvine. They got caught in
a rain delay last night. So I think Oregon State's
up like six to four. They're gonna finish that game today,
and if Irvine wins, I gotta play another game tonight.
So that's who's Kentucky's waiting on.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
You want to impress me. Play through the rain, right,
I mean, what's this rain delay stuff right at this
point in the season. You want to make it interesting?
Play through the rain?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Kentucky? Did Kentucky plate during the rain Saturday night?
Speaker 4 (17:14):
I mean, unless it's thunder and lightning, and even though
unless it's lightning like right around the field. Yeah, what
are we doing?
Speaker 8 (17:20):
Man?
Speaker 4 (17:21):
I'd love to watch some rain baseball? How much fun
would that be? We do it in football, you know
what I mean, we do it in other sports.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Yeah, befo, we're talking about this before we go to
the break.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
I gotta ask you, since you watched the game, you
saw those kids behind home plate crouching down, and then
when the oppot when Indiana State picture get ready, to
late release the baseball.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
They jump up and scream and holler.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
What do you think about that? Yeah? Love it, love it.
That's what they're there for. That's the whole point. Why
not take advantage of the moment, like that's why you're here.
Why did people not like it? Did people disagree?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
There was a lot of chatter online.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
They kept thinking they were going to get somebody was
going to walk down there and make them stop. But
apparently they're the Some of them are the grand kids
of some pretty well known people in Lexington, so that
wasn't gonna happen. They're gonna let those kids do whatever
they wanted. I think I thought about joining them.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Listen, if you got that invincibility, that is your moment,
you got to take advantage of it. I loved it, man,
it was I loved it. I guess we gotta take
a break now, so I think that's what we will do.
We'll come back soon.

Speaker 5 (19:17):
Said it was Sports Center worthy.
Speaker 10 (19:20):
It was.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
It was the number one Sports Center play.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
So that was great. Oh did it? Okay? Good?
Speaker 11 (19:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
It deserved it. It deserved it.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
But let me let me ask you if something.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
Y'all remember when Cal went to Arkansas the day they've
done all this scoop fly and all that, uh, and
he was talking to introduced to the other coaches, and
he was introduced to the Arkansas baseball coach and some
of their players whatever, and Arkansas at that time was
ranked number one and they were bragging about it. Well,
(19:53):
the next good thing other than Kentucky winning was Arkansas losing.
So Arkansas's out of that.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
And that makes you happy? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 5 (20:03):
That makes me very happy and only.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
Happier when when when Arkansas comes to down in Kentucky
kicks their butt.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
I can't believe, thanks you for the call. I can't
believe they gave us one Arkansas Kentucky game. By the way,
the SEC like, I mean, why are we getting multiple
games that.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
You knew to me?
Speaker 6 (20:25):
You knew the SEC office was going to guarantee Arkansas
come to rupt. I mean, you could have predicted that
that that was coming. But I'm like you, myyron, I
thought it'd be a home at home. I thought that'd
be one of the games that Kentucky played twice, and
we can traveled to Arkansas also next year.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
They could have for this year, go ahead, yo forever
Calipari has said, you know, when Kentucky comes to your town,
it's a Super Bowls free T shirt night. I think
you might ask the league, don't put me in this
awkward spot where I have to put out T shirts
for Kentucky in this first year. So I think he said, please,
you're one, don't bring him here because for fifteen years
I've talked about how Kentucky's the show wherever they show up,
(21:00):
and he's not ready to stick by that statement in
his first season in Faveville.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Man, I can't wait to be at that game. That
is going to be electric for everybody who's there and
everybody watched on TV. We got another call. Let's go
to Bill. Bill. First off, we're gonna start Merry Monday.
Tell me something you're happy about, something a major smile?
Speaker 5 (21:20):
Bill there?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeah, Bill, go ahead, Bill, Bill, you there, nothing makes
them happy today.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Bill Bill calling us from a nineteen ninety five motoroller,
we gotta do. We gotta beat Bill? Do we got
to Did you'll have a pager? Did you all have pages?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
At all?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I did?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Was that in Kentucky? Oh yeah, listen, I had one point,
I had two pages. I don't know why. I wasn't
a drug dealer, but I felt like one having two pastes,
you know what I mean? It was like that cool vibe.
I had a white and a black one. So I
was the man I felt like for this really cool
stretching like nineteen ninety five. I don't know why I
had it though, but think about it. You have to
(22:01):
get paged and then drive to a payphone to call
somebody back. How ridiculous was that whole system? And why
did I have two pages? Felks? What was that all about?
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Well, you weren't cool unless you had a pager during
that time. Clip it on your belt loop too.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Somebody saw you had a pager, yes, and you were
just sitting there waiting for somebody to page you, and
then you had to get to a payphone. It was
just the whole Kids today don't understand how good they
have it right to just be able to do everything
on a cell phone. It's always with you, it takes you,
you know, wherever you want to go. You can always
(22:38):
reach out. They don't know what it's like on a
Friday night. You know what I mean, to be a
tackle bell in someplace. You get a page. Now you
got to drive down the street to a payphone to
figure out where the party is. Right, All these kids
are just texting in real time. Man, I'm jealous. I'm
jealous of their ability to do that. It's basically what
I'm saying, it's just the music to say we're going
(22:58):
to break. We're going to break.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Let's go TJ Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
He'll make them pay.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Here's Matt Jones talk to them al Green. What y'all
know about Al Green down there in Kentucky. I used
to have Al Green's Greatest Hits album on a CD
when I was a kid. I used to fall asleep
to Al Green. Now I love al Green. Al Green
will tell you how to talk, you know, to it
to a partner or spouse, girl, whatever it is, I
will talk to you. I mean, he'll let you know
(23:32):
everything you need to say. You know, you just write
down al Green lyrics, say it to that special someone
and it works every time, one hundred percent. Al Green
has a one hundred percent sex success rate when it
comes to talking. I'm telling you, man, al Green is undefeated.
I'm just trying to give you all a few clues here,
But if you listen to some Al Green, it will
(23:52):
help you out. The other thing I want to say here,
I was confused who was on the show, right, So
here's the thing for people at home. I can own
see Ryan from the zoom right. Yes, I thought Billy
was on. Billy's not on. It's shedding and Drew and Ryan.
So my bad. I don't think all white guys look alike.
I don't want you all to think that on these Mondays, right,
(24:13):
It ain't like that. It's just I wasn't sure you show. Yeah,
but I can only see like one angle, you know
what I mean. So, but that al Green tip is universal.
That's not black white brow. That is a universal thing.
I'm telling you you're having a tough situation with someone
special in your life, I mean for men. If you're
trying to figure that out, don't you know, go to
(24:35):
some of these weird websites. Go to al Green, go
to the Reverend al Green, write down the lyrics and
just say them. You know what I mean. I'm so
tired of being alone. I'm so tired off on my own.
Won't you help me? Please? Like That's what al Green
will tell you to say. And I'm telling you it works.
Every single time we got some calls, we got more calls.
Who's our first call.

Joe yesterday and he kept telling me there's a new song,
and he broke out into song, and the concourse drew
a little bit of a crowd around during the rain delay,
and he promised me he would call in today. So
I assume this is it. Are we gonna hear a
little bit of every Day Joe from you?
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Joe? Yes, yes, you are right. You have the floor.
I may get a little motion on when this is done,
because it's it's it's like my person.

I was trying to add some of that that church
feel to it.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
That's little al greenish, you know. I was trying to
put a little touch on in that little soul, you know.
So you know, maybe we could do something with that.
You know, if I learned all the lyrics, we can
kind of team up and then do the remix. I
think people like the people like that.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Oh yeah, people would like that laid line up for
that put you on the stage of real bird like
we had this weekend.
Speaker 4 (28:54):

Okay? Yeah, I was here, I was coming to hell.
I was trying to like add a little bit of
a little bit extra on there. Okay, so you can
appreciate what you just heard. Shannaman had to dig up
some of Joe's old songs.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Oh no, no, no, you don't.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
You really want to do that Big Blue Man in
the morning or Willie coolly Stein man, or can.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
I tell you all?
Speaker 7 (29:32):
At the baseball games, several several people came up to
me and said, you got to go get your boy
Kentucky Joe. He's just singing on the court concourse, So
I think every Day Joe was about every inning a
Kentucky Proud park. Everyone got a live concert.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
I respect it, man. I might jump in on the
remix man. We definitely might have to do that. Who's
our next call?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
All right, we'll try to follow that up with Bill.
I think this is Bill from earlier. Go ahead, Bill,
see if your phone works.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Bill to work.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Yes, it's working. Bill. What's your marry Monday? First thing?
What's your married Monday? What's something that made you happy?
It made your smile? Uh?
Speaker 10 (30:09):
Every day Joe?
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Obviously? Okay? Did you like it?
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Did you like to remix and added to it? Was
that a little much?
Speaker 6 (30:19):
No?
Speaker 10 (30:19):
No, no, I told my wife to hurry up and
grab a recorder. I wanted to put that as my
ring tone, but it was too late.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Yeah, okay, okay, No, I loved it.
Speaker 10 (30:28):
I got just a couple of quick stories for you.
This one for Shannon real quick. I was out cleaning
my yard up this morning and my daughter came running
to me with a piece of paper and she was
asking me to do something. I didn't know what it was,
and I looked down and it's a uh it's actually
a flyer for OVW in Montgomery County here on the fifteenth.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
So I got that book.
Speaker 10 (30:45):
I got to take my eight year old daughter to
go see.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
They're just dumping flyers for OVW and people's front yards.
Now is that our tactic for advertising?
Speaker 10 (30:54):
Yeah? I think she stole it from an old lady.
I don't really know, but either way, she's tough man.
You gotta watch you. She pa try to getting her
and fight you anyway. No, I heard your story earlier
about baseball. Yeah, when I went to college. I walked
on in college and played one year. Didn't want to
be there, didn't want to play. Obviously, I was terrible,
And I remember our end of the year meeting. One
(31:15):
of the coaches stood up, and I distinctly remember I
had no intentions on coming back the next year, but
I thinkly remember him saying, some of you all need
to rethink your college choices and why you're here. And
I remember at the end of that statement he locked
eyes with me directly talking to me, and I just
remember saying, yeah, don't worry about it. I'm gone, brother,
I'm out.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
So anyway y'all relate.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
To that, I can relate to that. I can relate
to that because the coach in my that fifth grade tryout,
he kind of nodded his head, but like in a
sad way, you know what I mean, Like he looked
at me like I believed in you. That was kind
of the way he looked at me, like I believed
in you, and you do this, you know. So I
understand that feeling when when a coach is kind of
(31:57):
saying your name without saying it. So I respect that.
I can relate to that emotion.
Speaker 10 (32:02):
Man, Well, there's still hope for you and how to
go play some maybe some church league softball one day
and team up with Ron and Shannon and Drew.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
So ill is there a league? Is there? I'll get
in the church league. Do y'all have church league basketball
down there? By the way they do? Ye'll play? Oh yeah?
Speaker 6 (32:18):
And then there it's it's kind of you got to
have a couple of ringers, because these days down here
can play.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Let me tell you Lexington and a former wild cattle
just walk in the finished playing five years ago and
you're in trouble.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Listen, My cousin Greer played in the Church League when
we were young, right, Greer shot sixty seven times a game.
Like there was no like you could call plays and
he wouldn't follow the play. He would just shoot. No
defense though it was. It was the worst experience of
my life. He would just come down and shoot. And
he wasn't a great shooter, but you know, he was
(32:50):
good enough to use one of our best players. But
I promise you shot like sixty seven times a game,
and I just it just bothered me that he never
ran actual plays. Who's our next calling?
Speaker 2 (33:01):
All right, let's go to Matthew.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Matthew Mary Monday man. What's something that made you happy today,
something that made you smile?
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Well, I gotta say both my wife and I are teachers.
We finished up our school years last year.
Speaker 11 (33:13):
We got a seven month old at home, so we're
excited to spend summer with him.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Congratulations guys, and thank you for the work you do
as teachers. And I mean that my mom was a
teacher and you all are some of the most important
people on this planet.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Thank I wish more people thought that.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Well they If they don't, that's on them. I definitely do.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
Thank go ahead, I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 11 (33:33):
I want to shift gears a little bit. I know
the conversation is more about baseball today. There's been a
lot of conversation on the show about the different generations
reactions to Kyle's leaving. And my dad is sixty five
years old. He is eight weeks post off of a
major spinal fusion, and he has had a very hard
time getting.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Back and mentally he's not been well.
Speaker 11 (33:54):
He's been delusional, Almo. He finally came about over the weekend.
I went to see him and we were about We
were talking Kentucky. He was able to talk Kentucky basketball,
which is how I knew he was back, and he,
being sixty five years old, was the most upset I've
ever heard of anyone about Cal. Even and me, thirty
two is excited about cal leaving. And it's funny to
(34:16):
see that generational slot because typically we've seen the opposite,
the older generation. Yeah, they're ready for Cal to go.
My generation really hesitated about it, so I thought it
was interesting.
Speaker 10 (34:26):
You wanted to know you're ill's take on that.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Now that that that is interesting. I want to get
into cal Uh in the next hour. But that I'm
sure there is a generational component there that I definitely
want to discuss. I think we got to take another break.
Is that we're doing? Is that what I'm being told? Yes,
we're taking another break. Okay, we're gonna take a break
and we'll be back after that.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
What is this?
Speaker 4 (34:49):
This is your boy Joe right here. This is a
remix Kentucky Joe. Yeah, okay, I don't know if this
is his genre. I don't think this is. I think
he you got to stick to like the country folk thing.
But this one you zoom up the charts though. This
was really popular. That did the remix? Oh yeah, Divine
zoom The Divine zoomed up the charts.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
What is it? He's got some He's got like an
album he could fill with just his greatest hits. If
you'd like to hear it playing for you, Yeah, over
the course of the summer, maybe we'll play him for you.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Yeah, I might have to hear some of that. I
think we got to do a live read. Is that
what we're saying? Is that what I'm being told? Ryan
who's doing the live Ryan's got it. I'll do it
for you.

the day.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Do we already have a maybe you want to get
in the song of the day. It had to be
Kentucky Joe, right, it have to be or like a
song I pick out of nowhere?
Speaker 6 (36:42):

already like Monday's and Black Jones hosting too funny.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
Yeah, I appreciate it, man, the love that I get.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
The other one is is Myron married? Asking for a friend?
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Well, now hold on a second. You know what, I
don't really talk about that. I'm not married, but you
know I keep my dating life private. But is that
person saying it like they might be interested?
Speaker 11 (37:27):
Is that?
Speaker 5 (37:27):
Is that what you would? I would?
Speaker 3 (37:30):
I would take it as that, wouldn't you?
Speaker 5 (37:31):
Drew?
Speaker 4 (37:31):
You know, I'm gonna tell you what tell you fellas
what happened. I'll tell you what happened. We played out Green,
we played out what it was right, and I started
talking about al Green and what happens. I get a
mysterious text from someone saying, are you married? This is
what happens when you followed the book of al Green.
I mean, if you get nothing else from me in
this first hour, just know that al Green is for
(37:53):
the people. It is here to help always. So I'm
guessing maybe that's where that text came from. I would
say my brand texts. Corey Price found the official record
of US winning the four by one hundred relay No
he did Wisconsin in nineteen ninety nine, and he posted
that way. I was a member of the nineteen ninety
(38:14):
nine Wisconsin in a Scholastic inter Scholastic Athletic Association D
one four hundred meter relay state championship team Nikola High School.
He found the results somewhere, and so for anybody, because
you know what Matt Jones would have done, he would
have been like, you didn't win any championship, That's what
he was saying. He would have doubted that I'd actually
done and I would have to show the evidence of it.
(38:36):
So Corey Price, Corey P eight found the actual record
that proves I'm not lying. So I actually did in
a state aging.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Finding this stuff and we never doubted you. Drew and
Jane and I did not doubt you.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
Maron. I'm just used to Matt, that's all because Matt
would have Matt would have Matt would have been like,
you didn't you didn't run track, you know, and then
then we get into it about it. I'd have to
go dig up the record and he still wouldn't leave it.
So I appreciate you all having the h the confidence
in me. Do we have another We got a.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Caller we did.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Let's start to Jackie.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
How you doing, Jackie? How you doing Jackie? What Mary Monday.
What's something that's made you smile, something that made you happy?
Speaker 5 (39:19):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Still there, Jackie, Hey, I'm still here. No Mary Monday.
What made you happy? It made you smile?
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Yeah, listen to you guys this morning, and the baseball
win those kids.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
I love that.
Speaker 10 (39:32):
And you're right about Al Green.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
Isn't it? Isn't it like if you just follow the lyrics, Jackie, right,
that'll take you far, won't it.
Speaker 11 (39:43):
You can follow the lyrics, you can play the song.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
I mean, you know, talk to him, Jackie, talk to them.
Speaker 10 (39:52):
You really got to do it. You're right, You're absolutely right.
I confirm it.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
I appreciate that. I appreciate love y'all. Oh, thank you.
See you see what I'm saying. I know people I
was talking about Al Green and you people think I'm
maybe just making it up right like that. Maybe it's
just like oh, okay, al Green whatever his lyrics. But
that call confirms it, right, fellas, Like you hear what
she said. She said, you can just play the song.
(40:17):
That's all you gotta do. Play the song and everything
gets better. You know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (40:21):
I think that confirms it. I'm taking the advice to heart.
You may be shocked and may not realize this, but
I often get in the dog out with doghouse with
my lady friend. So I'm gonna I'm gonna pull this
out next time. Then I get in trouble.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Usually it's Darius.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
And see, Darius is a different vibe. Like Darius is
when things are already good, you know what I mean.
Like Darius is like you just extending the celebration right right,
it's a good day, and now you're gonna make it
a better day, Alice, when you gotta you gotta make
a move right Like maybe things are taken a little turn,
Maybe things are not as exciting as they once were,
(40:59):
you know what I mean, Maybe the vibe is a
little off. You gotta go consult al Green because he
will talk to you man. And I like what Jackie said.
You don't have to quote the lyrics, Fellas, you just
play the song. Play some al Green loving happiness. I'm
so tired of being being alone. Let's get married. I mean,
(41:19):
there's so many incredibles. Shannon needs to hear that song.
Let's get married, Shan get married. No, No, Ryan wants
me to get married. I'm not getting married though, Ryan.
But Drew is the only one of us that's married
right now. Okay, Shannon, you're not getting married, you don't
want to or like you have a partner and y'all
talking about it. What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (41:38):
I mean, I've got a girlfriend. But no, we we
are not talking about getting married. But Ryan always tries
to push that on me. But you know, Ryan is
the one that's been married, well how many times now
twice twice.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
There you go, Hey, man, don't be pushing Hey, life happens.
I get it.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Al Green in my arsenal back.
Speaker 4 (41:59):
Then al Green can be trouble too, because there's gonna
be some other folks coming around when you play some
Algreen because he just it adds to the attraction, you
know what I mean, It just adds to that level
of attraction. But our Green, our Green is for everybody.
He's for the people. We'll be back after this

It's gonna be like on Mondays. Right, you going there,
You're like, Oh, I'm looking for a great country music
concert and then all of a sudden Ludacros shows up.
It'd be a little of a different vibe. But I'm
(01:29):
excited for us. How y'all doing after the big baseball
weekend with Kentucky.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Well, dude, Drew is still wet, I think because he
was there and set through all the rain the pre game,
when the rainstorm.
Speaker 7 (01:41):
I was there all weekend. I saw every pitch, I
saw every rain delay. I think my shoes are still wet.
But I wouldn't change a single thing. That was such
a fun weekend, winning all three games, getting the shout
out yesterday. The weather couldn't have really been worse. Both
Saturday and Sunday got delayed. We spent a lot of
time in the concourse getting to no other baseball. But
at the end of the night they were holding up
(02:01):
the trophy and that's all that matters.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Clothes dry.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
We had a great time over there at Kentucky Proud
Park and so thrilled for what's next hosting Supers for
the first time next weekend.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Did you have proper rain gear? Like what was your saying?
Speaker 7 (02:13):
Not at all, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
I did.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
I did, but I had family and it was one
of those small umbrellas and when you're the when you're
the mail there, you say, ladies, yea, all take this
umbrella and I'm gonna sit here and get drenched. But
that that's We still had a good time regardless.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
That's tie. I mean. The cool thing though about getting
wet like that, like once you hit a certain wet point,
it doesn't really matter how much you know wedd you
get from there, right like at some point you know,
ten minutes in, it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
So and that's that's what I tweeted you guys last night.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
The people are crazy.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
On Saturday night, they started raining during the game, you
guys set through the rain through the end of the game.
But then on Sunday, Myron there were people standing outside
in line while it was rain during an hour and
a half rain delay. I mean it was unbelievable. The dedication.
I think the people show kudos to everybody out there
that did it.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
But after that, after that delay, after all that weight,
it just added to that excitement and made for such
a such a special night winning five zero. As I said,
they're hosting the Soupers for the first time next weekend.
Tickets are already sold out in the in the chairbacks
went on sale this morning. Those are gone only general mission.
It's just a fun time for Kentucky baseball and at
a school that doesn't have a lot of successful history
(03:23):
with Kentucky baseball, but back to back years winning the
regional here.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yeah, it was cool to watch. Man, was it? Ryan
Nicholson hit the bomb in the second Oh yeah, he's
a he's a Kentucky kid.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
He's saying that Mason and Mason Moore as a Kentucky kid,
so they pulled him through. It was Ryan Nicholson. Is
gotta be one of the hottest hitters in the country.
About Grant Smith making these acrobatic play he's out on
dec That.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Was Sports Center worth it.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
What Mason Moore is? What is he nine and on now?
And I think he's what twenty and one third inning
scoreless over the last two seasons, Like he's just been unhittable.
So that's gotta be cool. Where does go ahead?
Speaker 6 (03:57):
Well, look at you watching the game and become I'm
a Kentucky Batcat fan, Myron, look at that.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Oh, y'all didn't think I would do research? See I
heard so listen. I could tell the concern in Billy's voice,
like with the text meth I could hear Billy through
the text he was concerned, Like I think he was wondering,
like is he gonna get connected? Is he gonna be ready?
I think Billy was a little worried about what was
gonna happen with metcalf mondays you know, but no, I
was ready. I watched it was an exciting game. And
(04:23):
now I wonder though, like what in Kentucky where does
the Super Regional rank? Like I know obviously the basketball history.
I know football has been much bigger over the last
five to seven years, right, but now there's this sort
of baseball frenzy, So like, where would a College World
Series rank for Kentucky sports fans?
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Well, I'll say this, Myrin, I've lived here now for
twenty eight years, and I've always said, despite the UK
basketball success and the football success, Lexington is really a
baseball town. I mean the youth baseball. These guys win
World Series, you know, at all levels. I mean it
is a crazy baseball town. They produce a lot of big.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
League players out of this town.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
So if they can make it to the College World Series, Myron,
I mean, the whole the whole town will explode. You know.
I don't know if it would rank ahead of a
college football championship run basketball championship, but it would be
pretty big.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
So are you saying, like, okay, cause you said it's
a it's a local thing, so like baseball really big
in Lexington. Yes, I'm just saying, like the community really
embraces it.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Was just oh yeah, yeah, the youth leagues and then
like I said, there's they always win World Series titles
and the baseball in this town.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
And we proved it. Man.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
There were like six thousand people there every game this
weekend and even the series finale against Vanderbilt were like
six thousand people there every game, so packed it out.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
This New territory. They won the SEC for only the
second time ever. Yeah, second time winning there, back to
back here and then hosting for the first time, so
it's all new to us. It almost feels like, I
know they're not in the final four of the baseball
tournament yet, but getting that region heading into Supers it
kind of fel it was like we're in that basketball excitement.
Then you get a little more often in sports.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Yeah, I mean I've seen the buzz. It's been definitely
exciting to watch. I want to know what listeners think.
What's the number? What's the number I'll be giving.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Out two eighth to two eight seven eight cats.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
I want to know where this would rank, where it
ranks now, it's gonna question Tucky fans. Also, I'm gonna
do something every Monday I'm here. I'm gonna call it
Mary Mondays. So like I want you to call in,
tell me something good that happened to you over the weekend,
within the last week, just something to start the week
off right. Like it's so hard right to get going
on a Monday. That's what I'm saying. I want to
(06:41):
do my part to help people get right on Mondays.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Now.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Listen, I was watching the baseball game, and I was
thinking of my own baseball career, right, because I loved baseball,
but I wasn't good at it, right, And that's a problem,
Like it's a problem to like something and you're not
good at it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Right.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
So fifth grade, I go to little league tryouts. Okay,
and now my assumption is, even though I'm not great,
they don't have a black shortstop. Okay, they got a
white one, right, but they ain't got a black short stop.
So I feel like I got a chance here, right,
give me a shot. And I feel this ground ball,
and I make this throw the first base and in
my mind, we had to go inside in the gym
(07:16):
because it was raining, so our trial got rained out.
We're inside, so I throw to first base, fellas, and
in my mind, this is Ken Griffy Junior, like I
have just done Willie Mays, Like the whole world is watching.
The gym is full, and I have just made the
perfect throw to first base. That's gonna solidify me getting
this spot on this elite little league team. Right, this
(07:39):
ball went like fifteen feet above the first baseman, right,
and again we're in the gym, and it smacked the wall,
and it smacked it so hard that everybody just like
sort of jumped, you know, but it was the worst
throw literally in the history of Little League man, and
that was where my career ended. Like that's when I realized,
you know what, I should probably do something else because
(08:00):
in my mind, that's the best I have And now
I'm throwing at fifteen feet away from the first basement.
You know, dreams sometimes in early and for me, I'm
glad it did. I wouldn't have been a good baseball player,
but I still really loved the sport man and it's
cool cool to watch. Were you all baseball players? Did
you all play the game at any level?
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Myron?
Speaker 7 (08:18):
I tapped out of baseball pretty early, but we have
baseball greatness with us and Ryan Lemon is still a
record holder at his university several decades later.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Shouldn't say severally? What position did you play?
Speaker 8 (08:31):
Right?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
I was left field.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
I was an outfielder. I couldn't run, I couldn't hit,
but boy I could run, Myron.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
So, yeah, I stolen bases where that was my thing.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
So you were like Ricky Henderson at w Yeah, what's cool.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Kentucky Wesleyan College, come on the premier Division two institution
and all the land he.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Can kind of have the record, like there's not really
anyone close to him on the on the list. Like
when he does the season records, he's like number one,
number two, and number four in the All Timer. You
could build a Walmart between him and the next person
on the list.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
You were Superstara. I was just saying, no, I told
you master beat Bragg if I if I were good
at baseball, I would tell everybody.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Well, like I said, I had maybe big league speed,
but a little league bat.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
So that's why he couldn't go any the.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Little They jump in here just real quick, because I
saw you tweet out over the weekend, Ryan, a quote
from your playing days in a newspaper.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
This was the quote.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
This is Ryan right here, Myron.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
He said, I don't want to sound cocky, but I
don't think there's a catcher who can throw me out.
The Division one schools we played, Marlisill, Moorehead, Tennessee State
have all tried to throw it out. I have quickness
on my first couple of steps. If you get a
good lead and a good jump on a pitcher, you
can steal. So where where's that cocky is that?
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Now? Ryan?
Speaker 9 (09:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I mean right?
Speaker 6 (09:44):
What?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah? Is that real? That's a real quote. That's real.
That's a real quote. You can't be humble now, Like
you know, you're suddenly humbled if you're saying stuff like
I'm the greatest ever. You can end on that.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Man.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I knew when Corey Price tweeted that out that was
going to get me in trouble.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
I knew right then.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
Yeah, you get humbled pretty quickly when you when you
work with Matthew Harper Jones, because there's not much you
can do right when he's running the ship here.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Yeah, Matt will get on you. But get though those
moments though of sports excitement. We won the state track
championship to four by one when I was in high school, right,
so we were the best four by one team. We
win state. A reporter runs up to us and he's
interviewing us right to say, like, hey, how does it feel?
And I said, I believe. I said, we're the fastest
(10:28):
team in the world, right, Like that's where I was
at like that brag. So I get it. I get
feeling yourself in that moment when somebody asked you something
like that, right, So stand on him. Man, if you
are great, lean into that man like you should love
that you should be talking about that all day, especially
right now. Well, you know the uh.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
I got a lot of slock this weekend for some
of that stuff that Corey Price treated out. But I
was more proud of the fact Mayer and I hit
a grand total of three home runs mine college college
career three, and he found the box score for all
three of them.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
That was it because I was a very good hitter,
well as somebody who couldn't even be the black shortstop
on my little league team, you know what I mean,
Like it was just me competing against me, and I
didn't make the team. So I'm jealous of anybody who
can play that sport.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
It set you on the path where you can be
the medium mogul that you are today. See you are
that coach a favor, Thank you for setting you on
this path.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
You know what it's like when the coach looks at
you with disappointment like that in fifth grade, when everybody
knows you didn't make the team. Like I didn't have
to look at the tryout list. I knew that throw
was my tryout, and I knew based on the way
the coach looked at me because he gave me one
of those good try looks, but like you're never gonna
play for me, you know what I mean. So my
(11:44):
baseball dreams ended there, Shannon, What about you did your
dreams in early.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
No I actually played Division two n CUAA baseball at
Bellarman University here in Louisville. I had the best seventy
mile on hour fastball you've ever seen for a college pitcher.
I threw so slow that nobody could hit it, you know,
because they were bringing the guy throwing, you know, ninety
miles an hour. Then they would bring me in from
the bullpen throwing by seventy mile an hour fastball. They
couldn't touch it.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Man.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
But listen, at least you could play man, That's right.
At least we were at rival schools. We didn't play
at the same time, but we were at rival schools.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
It feels like to me, well, like outside of golf,
baseball is the most difficult sport to be good at. Right.
If you're just gonna pick up a sport out of
the blue, and you're like, Okay, I want to get
really good at this. I'm gonna invest a lot of
time and energy into it. Baseball to me is right
below golf in terms of trying to be decent at
a sport. You all agree or disagree with that?
Speaker 7 (12:36):
Oh thanks for making me feel good, Myron, because I
quit baseball to pick up golf and that's what I
played in high school. So making me look like the
real athlete on the panel here, I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
That's it. And I'm terrible at golf and that's the
hardest sport I think to be good at for sure,
But like baseball, like the timing is it really natural?
You know what I mean? Just like there's so many
elements of the game that I think you have to
have like a specific skill set for. So when I
was watching last night, I was like, Wow, these are
some really acrobatic catches. Mason Moore was the one I liked, though,
just like to be that cool and calm, uh you
(13:08):
know as a pitcher. I think that to me felt
like you can follow that dude, Like he kind of
had that bravado, that confidence that made you feel like,
you know what, this dude can lead us to the
College World Series. Did y'all feel like that?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Yeah, and he's he's from an area of Myron. That's
it's morehead Kentucky. It's where Morehead state if you're there. Yeah,
so you know that area where he's from. I mean
it's eastern Kentucky. And that game situation last night where
I think the bases were loaded, nobody out and he
got out of it. I mean I myself, you know,
I like, yeah, I jumped up off the couch because
that was a pretty big moment.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
You could tell it meant a lot to him to
do that.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
I don't even know till the game was over, and
it's came out in the press conference that he was
so sick the day before he didn't even go to
the stadium with the team for their Illinois game, and
he had to have two ivs just to be able
to pitch on Sundays. So that was kind of a
flu game performance by Mason Moore, who had a big
game last year in the regional. Yeah, and then got
called on again to uh, you know in state kid
make plays again this time after a couple of ivs,
(14:02):
just adding to his legacy.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
See that's how I know I'm different, Right that, Like
he said it after the game, Right, you find out
after the game he'd been that sick. See for me,
I would have had an IV like on the mound,
Like I would have had them come out, you know,
put an IV in me right, hospital bed, the whole deal,
and like, okay, delay a game. We're trying to get
him right, you know, he's sick. And then I would
(14:25):
have like yanked it all off and then pitched, you know,
So I would have really been theatrical with it, you know,
like the whole finding out after that somebody was sick.
That's pretty amazing. But me, I would have talked about
it going into the game, and I'm just wired that way.
I would want the praise that would come with that.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
Like Hugh Freeze up there in the window, that they'd
be you and the bullpen lay waiting for them.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I'd have a team of nurses, you know what I mean,
Like I'd have a team of nurses on the field,
like Matt maybe he can't, maybe he shouldn't be here
right like, and then just as they are wheeling me
off right that he's not going to be able to day,
I jump off the hospital bed, I run back to
the mound, and I keep pitching, because like, what's the
point of a flu game if you're not gonna milk it?
Like we talk about Michael Jordan's flu game. He really
(15:10):
milked that. I mean he was on the sideline collass.
People had to carry him. I think that's the way
it should be if you're sick going into a game
like that.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Fella yeah, Bill Russell coming out of the locker room,
you know, and it's Willis s free. It was Willis Reed. No, Bill, Yeah,
came out and played. But I loved it too when
like the cameras would zoom him on it and he's
talking to himself. He was like, come on, let's go,
you know, getting back in his own You could read
his lips what he was saying. He was It was
a very very good moment for that young win.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
That would have been Maron looking at the camera and
telling everyone, Hey, I'm sick. By the way, just everyone,
I'm sick. I need you to know I'm sick.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Listen. I would have had a blanket, you know, I
would a blanket over my shoulders, you know what I mean.
I would have been like, had someone take my temperature
after every couple of pitches, you know. So I mean
I would have really really milked it, you know.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
I go back in the dugout and sit in the
corner like all on a fetal position, like you're sick
and you can't honey move, Then you go back out
and you strike out the side.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I would have fallen down. I mean at some point
you would have fallen down too. Had to pick me
up like James Brown. You ever see the James Brown performance,
Like they would put a cape on me. I'd be like, okay,
I can't do it, and then I throw it off
and I go right back out Becaueah, you got a
milk a moment like that, man, and really really enjoy it.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Now.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
You said tickets are sold out already.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
The chairbacks, So they went on sale this morning. Any
reserve seating's gone.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
General emissions still might be. I don't know how quickly
they went, but all that went on sale at nine am.
So UK Baseball tics ti x dot com. If he
mon wants to try their.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Luck so they can get tickets or no. You said
the chairbacks are.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Out, the chair backs are gone. There might still be
some general missions. All that went on sale an hour ago.
I don't know what's left at this moment, but it's
worth a shot if you're interested.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Man.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
That's a big moment. It's what two wins and there
in the World Series.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
They played two out of three against the winner of
Oregon State, and you see Irvine. They got caught in
a rain delay last night. So I think Oregon State's
up like six to four. They're gonna finish that game today,
and if Irvine wins, I gotta play another game tonight.
So that's who's Kentucky's waiting on.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
You want to impress me. Play through the rain, right,
I mean, what's this rain delay stuff right at this
point in the season. You want to make it interesting?
Play through the rain?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Kentucky? Did Kentucky plate during the rain Saturday night?
Speaker 4 (17:14):
I mean, unless it's thunder and lightning, and even though
unless it's lightning like right around the field. Yeah, what
are we doing?
Speaker 8 (17:20):
Man?
Speaker 4 (17:21):
I'd love to watch some rain baseball? How much fun
would that be? We do it in football, you know
what I mean, we do it in other sports.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Yeah, befo, we're talking about this before we go to
the break.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
I gotta ask you, since you watched the game, you
saw those kids behind home plate crouching down, and then
when the oppot when Indiana State picture get ready, to
late release the baseball.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
They jump up and scream and holler.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
What do you think about that? Yeah? Love it, love it.
That's what they're there for. That's the whole point. Why
not take advantage of the moment, like that's why you're here.
Why did people not like it? Did people disagree?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
There was a lot of chatter online.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
They kept thinking they were going to get somebody was
going to walk down there and make them stop. But
apparently they're the Some of them are the grand kids
of some pretty well known people in Lexington, so that
wasn't gonna happen. They're gonna let those kids do whatever
they wanted. I think I thought about joining them.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Listen, if you got that invincibility, that is your moment,
you got to take advantage of it. I loved it, man,
it was I loved it. I guess we gotta take
a break now, so I think that's what we will do.
We'll come back soon.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Yeah. Black Jones in the building replacing Matt Jones here
on Monday, and my guy somewhere in Europe. I said
earlier it was like Garth Brooks going to Garth Brooks
concert and then Lucre shows up that's what I try
to bring here on these Mondays. We got we got
some calls, so we'll go to the calls. Billy, who's
our first call?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Actually, I've got them, so it's it's Mike.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Mike's up. Mike's up.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Boring, guys, how are you doing?
Speaker 4 (18:49):
We're gonna start on Merry Monday. First, you got to
tell me something great that happened to you over the
last week. Something that great, something you're happy about, anything
you're happy about?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
What was that?
Speaker 9 (19:01):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (19:01):
What am I happy about?
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Happy to be alive?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
I love it? I love it? What say you?
Speaker 6 (19:09):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (19:10):
All right, kudos to Kentucky for winning the catch y'all
made that kid made y'all y'all.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Said it was Sports Center worthy.
Speaker 10 (19:20):
It was.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
It was the number one Sports Center play.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
So that was great. Oh did it? Okay? Good?
Speaker 11 (19:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
It deserved it. It deserved it.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
But let me let me ask you if something.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
Y'all remember when Cal went to Arkansas the day they've
done all this scoop fly and all that, uh, and
he was talking to introduced to the other coaches, and
he was introduced to the Arkansas baseball coach and some
of their players whatever, and Arkansas at that time was
ranked number one and they were bragging about it. Well,
(19:53):
the next good thing other than Kentucky winning was Arkansas losing.
So Arkansas's out of that.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
And that makes you happy? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 5 (20:03):
That makes me very happy and only.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
Happier when when when Arkansas comes to down in Kentucky
kicks their butt.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
I can't believe, thanks you for the call. I can't
believe they gave us one Arkansas Kentucky game. By the way,
the SEC like, I mean, why are we getting multiple
games that.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
You knew to me?
Speaker 6 (20:25):
You knew the SEC office was going to guarantee Arkansas
come to rupt. I mean, you could have predicted that
that that was coming. But I'm like you, myyron, I
thought it'd be a home at home. I thought that'd
be one of the games that Kentucky played twice, and
we can traveled to Arkansas also next year.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
They could have for this year, go ahead, yo forever
Calipari has said, you know, when Kentucky comes to your town,
it's a Super Bowls free T shirt night. I think
you might ask the league, don't put me in this
awkward spot where I have to put out T shirts
for Kentucky in this first year. So I think he said, please,
you're one, don't bring him here because for fifteen years
I've talked about how Kentucky's the show wherever they show up,
(21:00):
and he's not ready to stick by that statement in
his first season in Faveville.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Man, I can't wait to be at that game. That
is going to be electric for everybody who's there and
everybody watched on TV. We got another call. Let's go
to Bill. Bill. First off, we're gonna start Merry Monday.
Tell me something you're happy about, something a major smile?
Speaker 5 (21:20):
Bill there?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeah, Bill, go ahead, Bill, Bill, you there, nothing makes
them happy today.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Bill Bill calling us from a nineteen ninety five motoroller,
we gotta do. We gotta beat Bill? Do we got
to Did you'll have a pager? Did you all have pages?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
At all?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I did?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Was that in Kentucky? Oh yeah, listen, I had one point,
I had two pages. I don't know why. I wasn't
a drug dealer, but I felt like one having two pastes,
you know what I mean? It was like that cool vibe.
I had a white and a black one. So I
was the man I felt like for this really cool
stretching like nineteen ninety five. I don't know why I
had it though, but think about it. You have to
(22:01):
get paged and then drive to a payphone to call
somebody back. How ridiculous was that whole system? And why
did I have two pages? Felks? What was that all about?
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Well, you weren't cool unless you had a pager during
that time. Clip it on your belt loop too.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Somebody saw you had a pager, yes, and you were
just sitting there waiting for somebody to page you, and
then you had to get to a payphone. It was
just the whole Kids today don't understand how good they
have it right to just be able to do everything
on a cell phone. It's always with you, it takes you,
you know, wherever you want to go. You can always
(22:38):
reach out. They don't know what it's like on a
Friday night. You know what I mean, to be a
tackle bell in someplace. You get a page. Now you
got to drive down the street to a payphone to
figure out where the party is. Right, All these kids
are just texting in real time. Man, I'm jealous. I'm
jealous of their ability to do that. It's basically what
I'm saying, it's just the music to say we're going
(22:58):
to break. We're going to break.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Let's go TJ Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
He'll make them pay.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Here's Matt Jones talk to them al Green. What y'all
know about Al Green down there in Kentucky. I used
to have Al Green's Greatest Hits album on a CD
when I was a kid. I used to fall asleep
to Al Green. Now I love al Green. Al Green
will tell you how to talk, you know, to it
to a partner or spouse, girl, whatever it is, I
will talk to you. I mean, he'll let you know
(23:32):
everything you need to say. You know, you just write
down al Green lyrics, say it to that special someone
and it works every time, one hundred percent. Al Green
has a one hundred percent sex success rate when it
comes to talking. I'm telling you, man, al Green is undefeated.
I'm just trying to give you all a few clues here,
But if you listen to some Al Green, it will
(23:52):
help you out. The other thing I want to say here,
I was confused who was on the show, right, So
here's the thing for people at home. I can own
see Ryan from the zoom right. Yes, I thought Billy
was on. Billy's not on. It's shedding and Drew and Ryan.
So my bad. I don't think all white guys look alike.
I don't want you all to think that on these Mondays, right,
(24:13):
It ain't like that. It's just I wasn't sure you show. Yeah,
but I can only see like one angle, you know
what I mean. So, but that al Green tip is universal.
That's not black white brow. That is a universal thing.
I'm telling you you're having a tough situation with someone
special in your life, I mean for men. If you're
trying to figure that out, don't you know, go to
(24:35):
some of these weird websites. Go to al Green, go
to the Reverend al Green, write down the lyrics and
just say them. You know what I mean. I'm so
tired of being alone. I'm so tired off on my own.
Won't you help me? Please? Like That's what al Green
will tell you to say. And I'm telling you it works.
Every single time we got some calls, we got more calls.
Who's our first call.

Joe yesterday and he kept telling me there's a new song,
and he broke out into song, and the concourse drew
a little bit of a crowd around during the rain delay,
and he promised me he would call in today. So
I assume this is it. Are we gonna hear a
little bit of every Day Joe from you?
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Joe? Yes, yes, you are right. You have the floor.
I may get a little motion on when this is done,
because it's it's it's like my person.

I was trying to add some of that that church
feel to it.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
That's little al greenish, you know. I was trying to
put a little touch on in that little soul, you know.
So you know, maybe we could do something with that.
You know, if I learned all the lyrics, we can
kind of team up and then do the remix. I
think people like the people like that.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Oh yeah, people would like that laid line up for
that put you on the stage of real bird like
we had this weekend.
Speaker 4 (28:54):

Speaker 4 (29:09):
Okay? Yeah, I was here, I was coming to hell.
I was trying to like add a little bit of
a little bit extra on there. Okay, so you can
appreciate what you just heard. Shannaman had to dig up
some of Joe's old songs.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Oh no, no, no, you don't.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
You really want to do that Big Blue Man in
the morning or Willie coolly Stein man, or can.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
I tell you all?
Speaker 7 (29:32):
At the baseball games, several several people came up to
me and said, you got to go get your boy
Kentucky Joe. He's just singing on the court concourse, So
I think every Day Joe was about every inning a
Kentucky Proud park. Everyone got a live concert.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
I respect it, man. I might jump in on the
remix man. We definitely might have to do that. Who's
our next call?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
All right, we'll try to follow that up with Bill.
I think this is Bill from earlier. Go ahead, Bill,
see if your phone works.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Bill to work.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Yes, it's working. Bill. What's your marry Monday? First thing?
What's your married Monday? What's something that made you happy?
It made your smile? Uh?
Speaker 10 (30:09):
Every day Joe?
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Obviously? Okay? Did you like it?
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Did you like to remix and added to it? Was
that a little much?
Speaker 6 (30:19):
No?
Speaker 10 (30:19):
No, no, I told my wife to hurry up and
grab a recorder. I wanted to put that as my
ring tone, but it was too late.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Yeah, okay, okay, No, I loved it.
Speaker 10 (30:28):
I got just a couple of quick stories for you.
This one for Shannon real quick. I was out cleaning
my yard up this morning and my daughter came running
to me with a piece of paper and she was
asking me to do something. I didn't know what it was,
and I looked down and it's a uh it's actually
a flyer for OVW in Montgomery County here on the fifteenth.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
So I got that book.
Speaker 10 (30:45):
I got to take my eight year old daughter to
go see.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
They're just dumping flyers for OVW and people's front yards.
Now is that our tactic for advertising?
Speaker 10 (30:54):
Yeah? I think she stole it from an old lady.
I don't really know, but either way, she's tough man.
You gotta watch you. She pa try to getting her
and fight you anyway. No, I heard your story earlier
about baseball. Yeah, when I went to college. I walked
on in college and played one year. Didn't want to
be there, didn't want to play. Obviously, I was terrible,
And I remember our end of the year meeting. One
(31:15):
of the coaches stood up, and I distinctly remember I
had no intentions on coming back the next year, but
I thinkly remember him saying, some of you all need
to rethink your college choices and why you're here. And
I remember at the end of that statement he locked
eyes with me directly talking to me, and I just
remember saying, yeah, don't worry about it. I'm gone, brother,
I'm out.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
So anyway y'all relate.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
To that, I can relate to that. I can relate
to that because the coach in my that fifth grade tryout,
he kind of nodded his head, but like in a
sad way, you know what I mean, Like he looked
at me like I believed in you. That was kind
of the way he looked at me, like I believed
in you, and you do this, you know. So I
understand that feeling when when a coach is kind of
(31:57):
saying your name without saying it. So I respect that.
I can relate to that emotion.
Speaker 10 (32:02):
Man, Well, there's still hope for you and how to
go play some maybe some church league softball one day
and team up with Ron and Shannon and Drew.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
So ill is there a league? Is there? I'll get
in the church league. Do y'all have church league basketball
down there? By the way they do? Ye'll play? Oh yeah?
Speaker 6 (32:18):
And then there it's it's kind of you got to
have a couple of ringers, because these days down here
can play.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Let me tell you Lexington and a former wild cattle
just walk in the finished playing five years ago and
you're in trouble.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Listen, My cousin Greer played in the Church League when
we were young, right, Greer shot sixty seven times a game.
Like there was no like you could call plays and
he wouldn't follow the play. He would just shoot. No
defense though it was. It was the worst experience of
my life. He would just come down and shoot. And
he wasn't a great shooter, but you know, he was
(32:50):
good enough to use one of our best players. But
I promise you shot like sixty seven times a game,
and I just it just bothered me that he never
ran actual plays. Who's our next calling?
Speaker 2 (33:01):
All right, let's go to Matthew.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Matthew Mary Monday man. What's something that made you happy today,
something that made you smile?
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Well, I gotta say both my wife and I are teachers.
We finished up our school years last year.
Speaker 11 (33:13):
We got a seven month old at home, so we're
excited to spend summer with him.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Congratulations guys, and thank you for the work you do
as teachers. And I mean that my mom was a
teacher and you all are some of the most important
people on this planet.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Thank I wish more people thought that.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Well they If they don't, that's on them. I definitely do.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
Thank go ahead, I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 11 (33:33):
I want to shift gears a little bit. I know
the conversation is more about baseball today. There's been a
lot of conversation on the show about the different generations
reactions to Kyle's leaving. And my dad is sixty five
years old. He is eight weeks post off of a
major spinal fusion, and he has had a very hard
time getting.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Back and mentally he's not been well.
Speaker 11 (33:54):
He's been delusional, Almo. He finally came about over the weekend.
I went to see him and we were about We
were talking Kentucky. He was able to talk Kentucky basketball,
which is how I knew he was back, and he,
being sixty five years old, was the most upset I've
ever heard of anyone about Cal. Even and me, thirty
two is excited about cal leaving. And it's funny to
(34:16):
see that generational slot because typically we've seen the opposite,
the older generation. Yeah, they're ready for Cal to go.
My generation really hesitated about it, so I thought it
was interesting.
Speaker 10 (34:26):
You wanted to know you're ill's take on that.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Now that that that is interesting. I want to get
into cal Uh in the next hour. But that I'm
sure there is a generational component there that I definitely
want to discuss. I think we got to take another break.
Is that we're doing? Is that what I'm being told? Yes,
we're taking another break. Okay, we're gonna take a break
and we'll be back after that.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
What is this?
Speaker 4 (34:49):
This is your boy Joe right here. This is a
remix Kentucky Joe. Yeah, okay, I don't know if this
is his genre. I don't think this is. I think
he you got to stick to like the country folk thing.
But this one you zoom up the charts though. This
was really popular. That did the remix? Oh yeah, Divine
zoom The Divine zoomed up the charts.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
What is it? He's got some He's got like an
album he could fill with just his greatest hits. If
you'd like to hear it playing for you, Yeah, over
the course of the summer, maybe we'll play him for you.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Yeah, I might have to hear some of that. I
think we got to do a live read. Is that
what we're saying? Is that what I'm being told? Ryan
who's doing the live Ryan's got it. I'll do it
for you.
Speaker 3 (35:31):

the Day. Myron will also award our Kentucky branded tweet

Speaker 2 (36:32):
I mean, the Kentucky Joe song wasn't the song of
the day.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Do we already have a maybe you want to get
in the song of the day. It had to be
Kentucky Joe, right, it have to be or like a
song I pick out of nowhere?
Speaker 6 (36:42):

Speaker 4 (36:47):

Speaker 5 (36:53):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (36:53):
And the a Vision Glass text machine is five O
two seven three five three six A zero And I
have two texts Myron, I have to read because they're
both for you. Firstman, says Ryan. Five minutes in. I
already like Monday's and Black Jones hosting too funny.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
Yeah, I appreciate it, man, the love that I get.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
The other one is is Myron married? Asking for a friend?
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Well, now hold on a second. You know what, I
don't really talk about that. I'm not married, but you
know I keep my dating life private. But is that
person saying it like they might be interested?
Speaker 11 (37:27):
Is that?
Speaker 5 (37:27):
Is that what you would? I would?
Speaker 3 (37:30):
I would take it as that, wouldn't you?
Speaker 5 (37:31):
Drew?
Speaker 4 (37:31):
You know, I'm gonna tell you what tell you fellas
what happened. I'll tell you what happened. We played out Green,
we played out what it was right, and I started
talking about al Green and what happens. I get a
mysterious text from someone saying, are you married? This is
what happens when you followed the book of al Green.
I mean, if you get nothing else from me in
this first hour, just know that al Green is for
(37:53):
the people. It is here to help always. So I'm
guessing maybe that's where that text came from. I would
say my brand texts. Corey Price found the official record
of US winning the four by one hundred relay No
he did Wisconsin in nineteen ninety nine, and he posted
that way. I was a member of the nineteen ninety
(38:14):
nine Wisconsin in a Scholastic inter Scholastic Athletic Association D
one four hundred meter relay state championship team Nikola High School.
He found the results somewhere, and so for anybody, because
you know what Matt Jones would have done, he would
have been like, you didn't win any championship, That's what
he was saying. He would have doubted that I'd actually
done and I would have to show the evidence of it.
(38:36):
So Corey Price, Corey P eight found the actual record
that proves I'm not lying. So I actually did in
a state aging.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Finding this stuff and we never doubted you. Drew and
Jane and I did not doubt you.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
Maron. I'm just used to Matt, that's all because Matt
would have Matt would have Matt would have been like,
you didn't you didn't run track, you know, and then
then we get into it about it. I'd have to
go dig up the record and he still wouldn't leave it.
So I appreciate you all having the h the confidence
in me. Do we have another We got a.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Caller we did.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Let's start to Jackie.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
How you doing, Jackie? How you doing Jackie? What Mary Monday.
What's something that's made you smile, something that made you happy?
Speaker 5 (39:19):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Still there, Jackie, Hey, I'm still here. No Mary Monday.
What made you happy? It made you smile?
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Yeah, listen to you guys this morning, and the baseball
win those kids.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
I love that.
Speaker 10 (39:32):
And you're right about Al Green.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
Isn't it? Isn't it like if you just follow the lyrics, Jackie, right,
that'll take you far, won't it.
Speaker 11 (39:43):
You can follow the lyrics, you can play the song.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
I mean, you know, talk to him, Jackie, talk to them.
Speaker 10 (39:52):
You really got to do it. You're right, You're absolutely right.
I confirm it.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
I appreciate that. I appreciate love y'all. Oh, thank you.
See you see what I'm saying. I know people I
was talking about Al Green and you people think I'm
maybe just making it up right like that. Maybe it's
just like oh, okay, al Green whatever his lyrics. But
that call confirms it, right, fellas, Like you hear what
she said. She said, you can just play the song.
(40:17):
That's all you gotta do. Play the song and everything
gets better. You know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (40:21):
I think that confirms it. I'm taking the advice to heart.
You may be shocked and may not realize this, but
I often get in the dog out with doghouse with
my lady friend. So I'm gonna I'm gonna pull this
out next time. Then I get in trouble.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Usually it's Darius.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
And see, Darius is a different vibe. Like Darius is
when things are already good, you know what I mean.
Like Darius is like you just extending the celebration right right,
it's a good day, and now you're gonna make it
a better day, Alice, when you gotta you gotta make
a move right Like maybe things are taken a little turn,
Maybe things are not as exciting as they once were,
(40:59):
you know what I mean, Maybe the vibe is a
little off. You gotta go consult al Green because he
will talk to you man. And I like what Jackie said.
You don't have to quote the lyrics, Fellas, you just
play the song. Play some al Green loving happiness. I'm
so tired of being being alone. Let's get married. I mean,
(41:19):
there's so many incredibles. Shannon needs to hear that song.
Let's get married, Shan get married. No, No, Ryan wants
me to get married. I'm not getting married though, Ryan.
But Drew is the only one of us that's married
right now. Okay, Shannon, you're not getting married, you don't
want to or like you have a partner and y'all
talking about it. What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (41:38):
I mean, I've got a girlfriend. But no, we we
are not talking about getting married. But Ryan always tries
to push that on me. But you know, Ryan is
the one that's been married, well how many times now
twice twice.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
There you go, Hey, man, don't be pushing Hey, life happens.
I get it.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Al Green in my arsenal back.
Speaker 4 (41:59):
Then al Green can be trouble too, because there's gonna
be some other folks coming around when you play some
Algreen because he just it adds to the attraction, you
know what I mean, It just adds to that level
of attraction. But our Green, our Green is for everybody.
He's for the people. We'll be back after this
