on this. Right, So Matt Jones leaves goes to Europe? Right? Yes?
(01:27):
What was that May twenty seven or something like that
around it?
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Right?
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Okay, I come in. I start the Merry Monday Wave,
which is taken off in BBN by the way, I.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Mean, it's just everybody's talking about it.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
I introduced the power of Al Green, right, and everybody's
talking about that too.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Now couples are all very happy.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Right. Yes, before Kentucky had never been to the College
World Series? Am I correct?
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Is that? If you're dead on so far? Speak the truth?
Speaker 4 (01:59):
I show up. Yes, I bring Reverend al Green with me.
And if I understand correctly, not only did Kentucky make
its first College World Series appearance, they've also just won
their first game in the College World Series? Is that accurate?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
So far?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I am not the type to take credit, but sometimes
you have to, you know what I mean, Sometimes it's
important to say, you know what I'm not saying. I'm
just saying. And all I know, Fellas is before I
showed up on Mery Mondays, there was no College World Series,
and now you got a chance to advance with a
big game against Texas A and M. Is there any chance, Fellas,
(02:39):
that I've played a role in what has happened so far?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Like?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Am I a good luck charm?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Is what I'm asking you all, Shannon, I think he's
onto something. I mean, we're giving all this credit to,
you know, coach Minjion for what he's done. But I
but I think Myron has made a good argument for
himself that maybe he's the reason we had this big,
exciting couple of weeks of baseball.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I like to think that maybe, you know, the baseball
team has hanging out in the locker room before the game.
They've changed up their soundtrack a little bit. They're playing
some al green before they go out there, and I
think that's getting them in the right mind frame to
go out there and play loosely.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You know, maybe that maybe you're onto something.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Listen, you said it, not me right, Like I'm saying,
I'm not the tame. I'm a humble person, but I
do wonder, Matt Leaves I come in and all of
a sudden, we're seeing things that you've never seen in
college baseball history at Kentucky. Here's another thought I had
from the weekend, right, Mitchell Daily's better than me. Right
(03:33):
with the walk off, because had I hit a walk
off in Kentucky's first College World Series appearance, I would
have hit at least three backflips on my way to home.
I also think I probably would have invited people from
the stands to run the basis with me. And then
I think this is just me personally. I think I
(03:56):
would pause at second base, ask somebody give me a microphone,
and probably wrapped the lyrics to hip hop paray because
that would be my moment, right like that is one
of the greatest moments in Kentucky sports history. And he's
better than me. I mean, I know he was celebrating,
everybody kind of mobbed and when he got the home
plate I would have soaked it in a little bit
(04:18):
more with a moment like that. I mean, that is
that is one of the biggest moments in Kentucky sports history,
is it not? Am I am I exaggerating that?
Speaker 5 (04:27):
No, their first ever college baseball game, and to win
it in the bottom of the tenth on a walk
off home run, it definitely deserves to come here. I'm
kind of like you though, especially that last trip between
third base and home I would have made that last
for about twenty minutes. It would have been jumping up
and down and doing a little celebrating before I touched
home plate.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Just see what Benjion was doing though. That was the
one thing you could. You could read his lips. He said,
make sure you touch home plate before you celebrate.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Yeah, because yeah, because that's that's the thing people haven't
People have missed home played in the situation. But yeah, yeah, yeah,
And I get and I respect it that he didn't go.
But I'm like, I'm like you, Ran, I probably I
would have sat at third base, probably had someone like
Stone Colt, Steve Austin, like, have somebody toss me a
couple beverages, smash them together, down them, and then at
(05:12):
the home play, I just would have really gone all
in in the moment like that, because, first off, what
a game.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Was an awesome game, and I think.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
This is and this is something that we don't see
enough right Baseball playoffs, Major League baseball college are incredible,
Like high stakes baseball is incredible. Like when you have
a game like that and it's back and forth, you
gotta come from behind situation, and then at the bottom
of the tenth you get a moment like that. Basketball's cool.
(05:43):
You know, someone hits the last second shot, that's a
cool moment. The last second field goal in football, those
are cool moments. A goal in the third period or
something like that, or even something that a shootout in hockey,
that's cool. But to me, if you if I had
to choose right to win a game, like what I
would do with the last second shot, last second field goal,
(06:04):
I would pick a walk off home run every time,
because I think that's the most memorable in terms of
how you can win a game. Like I don't think
it gets better than a walk off home run in
a playoff situation in baseball. What do you all think
of that?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I agree with you, and I think you've kind of
hit on the reason why. You know, you get the
great crack of the bat to start with, but then
you get to take a victory lap to celebrate that
winning home run you just hit. You know, in football
or basketball you can run around, but man, you get
a victory lap where every all eyes are on you.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
You can't touch that guy though he gets.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
To home plate. So it is kind of something special.
And you know we're gonna forget Ryan Nicholson hit one
in the bottom of the ninth to tie it. Yeah,
get a home run, you know that was big. But
that was huge to get that one, and then for
Daily to do it the next thaning was pretty special.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
There's nothing better than the walk off though in baseball.
Agree with you, Myron, because you don't know when it's coming.
It's the element of surprise. Like if you're watching a
basketball game and you know you get a tie game,
you know that the clock's ticking down.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Here it comes.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
If there's going to be a last second made shot,
it's going to be you know, in the next few seconds.
In baseball, it could be any scenario and boom there
you know, just in a matter.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Of of a of a second, the crack of a bat,
the game is over.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
So I think that that element of surprise in baseball
to walk off gives it the best inding in sports.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
I would have had somebody with like a chariot, right like,
but not one with horses like one where the people
carry you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Yeah, yeah, with like.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
A throne on it. Right, they would have put the
throne on the field. I would have climbed into it
at third base and there would have been a crown.
And what's the thing, it's not a staff? What are they?
You know what I'm talking about, Like Macho Man used
to have it. I don't know what an accept It's
called a sceptor. A sceptor, you know, like one of
the with a ruby on top of it. Yeah, yeah,
(07:53):
I would have had a cape, you know what I mean.
And then they would have literally carried me to home
plate and then sat me down. I would have stepped
on home plate and I would have celebrated that one.
I just would have been I would have been over
the top with it. But that was such an incredible,
incredible game. And again, all I can tell you all
(08:16):
is before I came right, And I'm not saying Matt
Jones is a good luck charm. I'm sure too. Matt
Jones leaves, he says, mine, I want you to do Mondays.
I'm like, cool, I'll do Mondays. I show up to
start the week. And now we're seeing things that you've
never seen before in Kentucky sports history. It's just something
to consider. It's just something to think about. But I'm
not taking full credit. I think it's our green. If
(08:38):
I'm being I think it's our green.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Can you come back in March maybe, you know, hang
out with this then host to show a couple of
times as.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Soon as Matt left. Also, the Reds went and won
like six games in a row.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
So how about that?
Speaker 5 (08:51):
So when you you coming in and Matt Levin has
definitely been good for baseball, Reds Baseball and UK baseball. Hey,
how about the UK crowd that's out there? Man, you
hear the go big Blue coming through the TV monitory. Yeah,
it's awesome. Blue showed up.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Yeah. Well, I mean but you always show up, like
you all show up more than anybody. I mean, like
that's never a surprise. Right anywhere there's.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
A game anywhere, you all will be there.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
I mean, and it's pretty remarkable. And like I know,
covering like tournament NCAA tournaments and different events like that,
how many people show up without tickets two events? I mean,
that's the amazing thing to me that you all will
just go. It's set up at local bars in the
area and just kind of flood the streets, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You see that in Nashville during the SEC tournament.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Fans come down, don't even have a ticket, don't even
have an intention of going to the game.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
They just want to be close to where it's all
going on.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Like saying a large biker gang or something on the
You ever see like one of those large bike it's
just like fifteen hundred of them or something like that.
I ran it. That was in North Carolina one time.
I didn't know anything about biker I hadn't know like
bikers had conventions, you know what I mean. I thought
they just met up at like a rest stop or
something and then hung. God, I don't know they had
like these organized events. But I was at this biker
(10:02):
this hotel that happened to also host this giant biker convention,
and there were like a thousand bikers at this hotel.
I've never seen anything like it, and they were literally
everywhere you looked. I don't know if there's a uniform,
but they all had on the you know, the leather situation.
That's what it's like when you go to an event
and Kentucky fans out there. They are everywhere you turn,
(10:27):
and you're certainly seeing them in Omaha. Where with this
championship rank, I actually hasd that a couple of weeks ago.
But now it's getting real. Like I mean, before it
was kind of real. It was going to the College
World Series, the history attached to that, but now this
is something else because you're playing Texas A and M
today seven pm ESPN, which pays me kudos, ESPN, And
(10:54):
I mean, this is where does this rank historically among
like Kentucky sports moments for you all? I'm not asking everybody,
but like for you all, where does it right?
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Wow? If they go on to win the World Series
in their first appearance this year, if it's great season
they've had, I wouldn't. I don't know if I could
put it above a basketball championship, but I in my mind,
I would put it above everything else.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
But we hold on a manue above a football title.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
But I haven't got a football title. You talk about
things that how a you're talking about things that's already happened.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah, now that that was my idea. That was my idea.
But you you'd pick a you pick a college football
championship over.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Oh absolutely, yeah, I definitely if the things that have
already happened, where would this rank. Yeah, it would probably
just be it'd probably be second behind a basketball title.
Really would wow? Wow?
Speaker 4 (11:43):
I know.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
I volleyball team just won a title. I don't want
to take anything away from them. Rifle has won like
twenty one titles, but man, to win the College Baseball
Series is pretty special. Oh's got a good rifle team. Oh,
we are a rifle school. We're not a basketball school
or football school. We're a rifle school. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
You ever see that thing in the Olympics man, or
they're on like skis and they shoot stuff crazy.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Yeah, like a marathon on skis and then you got
to stop and shoot something shooter target.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
It's like real James Bond stuff. I mean, like, forget,
why are you casting like stunt double? Like just put
those people in it. But so you guys have a
good rifle to him, I didn't know that, man. So
I want to hear from everybody else on this Mary Monday.
How you feeling about this College World Series game? What
something that made you happy, something that made you smile? Also,
(12:30):
if you think I'm the reason this is happening. I
want to hear it. If you think it's al greech,
I want to hear it. It feels like a celebratory moment.
I did I think with Al Green the first week
James Brown. I'm leaving for a vacation. I'm happy. I
want a little Stevie Wonder, Yes, Wonder on today. I
love I love Stevie Wonder, Man, I love Stevie. I
(12:52):
ran into him at the airport a couple.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Of years back because he didn't see it coming.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
WHOA, whoa, whoa Arency.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Are you Are you in the conspiracy? Are you in
the Okay? So here's the thing, all right, And I
don't want to listen. I know people have their conspiracies.
I can only tell you what I witness with Stevie Wonder.
Somebody was driving him in a golf cart right through
the airport here in Minneapolis.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
So all of a sudden he pulls up and everyone
kind of crowds around him. Pretty amazing moment, Oh, Stevie, Stevie,
he just performed somewhere. And then you know, this woman
walks up to him. She's like, hey, Stevie, I want
to take a selfieh and he's like, hey, hey, no,
get in, get in, get in, And they took the
selfie and Stevie goes, I'll hold the phone. I'm not
(13:42):
joking to you. Stevie was the one who took the seller.
He had the phone up and I have a picture
of it to prove it. I'm not saying that means anything,
but he was. He was holding the phone. But Stevie's legendary.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
Man. Now you just got.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Ceibatory music intuition. You know, he can just kind of
tell where things are without seeing them. Well, I mean
he's good, he's good. There are a lot of stories man,
out there.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, I don't know if you hear heard the story
about him and Ray Charles right at the Weird of
the World when they were making We Out of the World. Yeah,
there's a documentary that has this, has this story. But
apparently Ray Charles was like, hey, I got to go
to the restroom, and Stevie was like, I'll take you.
This is what this is what people said. They said
that Stevie led Ray Charles, you know, So, I don't know,
(14:27):
it's intuition, whatever it is. He's the greatest musical genius
in the history of our time. He was a thirteen
year old musical savant. And I want to hear little
Stevie won day nice. Hey, hey, I'm getting ready to
celebrate you all that celebrated. It's a festive moment. Have
you seen someone?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Have you seen the video? There's a video of Stevie
Wonder catch it catches the microphone.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
The guy's not even touching the microphone and it falls
to the side and he just before it hits the ground,
explain that one to me, Myron.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
He did catch the mic. He did catch the mic,
and it was like, all right, man, yeah, okay, what's
going on here? Man?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Do you want to tell us?
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Shaq says, Shack told the stories killing him where they
lived in the same complex in La some big luxury
you know, five star joint, And Shack says, he pulls
up to valet right and tosses his keys to the
valet gets out. As he's coming into the complex, he
(15:32):
walks in past Stevie, and Stevie looks up and goes, hey, Shack,
how you doing this is what? These are not my theories, people,
This is not me saying this. I love Stevie Wonder,
I respect Stevie Wonder. I think he is everything he
says he is. I'm just telling you some of the
stories that are out there. But I think if you're
(15:54):
going to celebrate a week like this some Stevie Wonder,
I think it's a great way to do it. I'm
getting ready to take off enjoy Nolan's food. Somebody told
me I can't call it Nola. I got a friend
who told me that they don't call it Nola. You
gotta call it Nolin's or something like that, you know. Yeah, yeah,
they said, I gotta say Nolin. So some good food,
(16:14):
good music, good fun. I'm looking forward to Disconnected. We
take a break now, Yeah, let's go, let's take a break. Yeah,
I would take a break. It would be back. Yeah. Yeah.
It's good stuff. Man. I love Steven Man.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Makes you feel good as soon as you hear it,
done it, as soon as you hear yeah, Stevie.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
He's incredible man, incredible, incredible talent. There's some incredible talent
on display. That College World Series game Kentucky getting ready
to host Texas A and m or face TEXTA A
and him. I should say it's a neutral sech game
in oh My Hall seven PM Eastern on ESPN Uh
before we get the cast, I'm just gonna tell you, guys,
(16:57):
the stuff that I'm seeing on the Twitter verse. Okay,
people are saying it's me. I didn't say it. Okay,
I didn't say it. I'm just telling people are saying.
Dirt Road Sneakerhead says, you are definitely responsible for UK
baseball's postseason success. Also, I can say with one hundred
percent certainty that no one has ever seen you in
Superman in the same place. At the same time, I
(17:19):
can't prove that you are Superman, but I also can't
prove that you're not him. I respect it. I respect this.
I'll take you know, that's a compliment to say I'm
responsible for the UK run. I respect the Superman, but
that's a bit much. We all know if there was
a black man with a red cape flying around the world,
(17:40):
it wouldn't last long. It would be a situation. Okay,
so I'm not Superman, but I do respect the thought. Listen,
this isn't me, people, This is just this is just
people saying that maybe fellas again, maybe I show up
and maybe that's help. That's all I mean. I'm not
taking anything away from the team. They deserve ninety nine
(18:04):
of of the you know, praise. I'm just wondering if
maybe I'm a little good luck chun, that's all. And
it sounds like people on Twitter think that I could
have something to do with it, that's all.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
It's a great way to start the week. We got
Myron on Monday, Mary, Monday's a good way to jump
start your week right off the bat.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
We gotta wait to see what happens tonight. If they
win tonight, I'm nervous.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
But next tom did not throw their ace in their
first game, so that they're throwing their ace tonight, and
A and M and Kentucky did not play during the
regular season.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
They're gonna do those weird cheers and stuff with their fans,
like I bringing those people maybe a little bit right,
like it is over the top. Yeah, yeah, I want
to have in these meetings the night before the game.
It's it's just a lot. I don't want to have
to do that much as a fan, you know what
I mean. I want to show up in cheer and
enjoy it. I don't want to have to I don't
have to come to a meeting. And it sounds like
(18:55):
they just do a lot of it. Who's our first caller.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Let's go to Jake.

More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
What a song, What a beautiful song.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
It could be.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah, on your way to work or wherever you're going
as you're getting ready for this big game that everyone's
talking about, obviously texting him Kentucky. Who who is this
ace man everybody's talking about? Is it you all got
to talk about? Is this Cy Young Satchel Paige, Randy Johnson,
Nolan Ryan, Who is it?
Speaker 5 (23:35):
C C.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Sabathia who is this guy? I don't make him so intimidating.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
I don't know that either, but I'm not. I'm not
worried or intimidated after that last call, Kentucky shows up.
I mean, they've been proven they can hit anybody this year.
Their bats are awesome.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Okay, I think I found him. Is it Ryan Prager?
Is this the dude David was talking about? I think
it's Ryan Prager? Okay, pitched a perfect game earlier. I
think this season sounds like that's the guy.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
That's got to be him, because man, it's intimidating.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
But I mean, the way you've been playing, nothing's matter.
Like sometimes when it's your year, it just doesn't matter.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Doesn't considered the ace of the staff that's him.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Had a perfect game earlier looks like this season and
I didn't want to bring it up Ryan, but then
people on Twitter brought up brought it up like from here,
what colors are you wearing?
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Man?
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Like what what.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
I have on the e k U Colonel's colors? Burkey
and didn't think about Texas A and M. Also, Okay,
what are you doing Ryan?
Speaker 4 (24:43):
From here? It looks like an A and M shirt?
You know what I mean from where I'm I don't know.
It just feels like if I'm the good luck charm, right,
I just don't want that to be something that comes
back to you, right that wheres you know wearing those
those colors?
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Man, I'm hearing Mario posted a picture and you don't
see the e ku. You just see the maroon top.
You think I'm wearing Texas A and M stuff today.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Yeah, it looked, it looks uh, it looks a little
A and emmy, you know, but it happens. It happens.
It's not it's not e k U is legit you
make Yeah, yeah, you just gotta you just gotta make
that clear.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
I think on the day, on a day like this,
you know, agreed, agreed.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
But it's gonna be a big game. Man. I'm looking
forward to seeing how it all plays out. I think
the momentum it looks like it could continue. Did you
all see ry McElroy? Did you watch the US Open yesterday?
And I had it on.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
I was kind of trying to keep an eyeball on
a little bit. Loses missing putts, man, he missed like
a couple of puts there, and then Inn could have
locked it up. For him.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
He missed, he missed four, He missed two four foot
putts in the last couple of holes. Yes, that would
have given him. Then he had he had a drive
that went you know, that wasn't what it could have been.
But you know what I mean, He's had like a
ten year major drought. He's right there and then he
just misses it. Man, and I just feel bad. I
(26:17):
felt bad for him. He lose to Bryson d. Chambeau,
gets into his car after, you know, drives away, doesn't
talk to the media, gets on the plane, which I
don't blame him for, like in those situations, like I'm
surprised when athletes do talk to us, you know what
I mean, Like I get my car and leave too.
But it just made me think, like, like to me,
(26:38):
in a moment like that, I'd rather get blown out,
like you tell me, super Bowl, major National chant, I'd
rather lose by thirty than lose like that. Like I
would rather just get destroyed. And that one's like, okay,
we're not on the same level. Then be up, like
you know, in a national championship game in basketball, up
(26:59):
like four with a minute to play, and then lose.
You know, you know what I mean, Like that to
me would hurt a lot more than the other situation.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
You know this, like I do with this. The worst
thing to have to do is a member of the
media is going a losing locker room that just lost
the heartbreaking. It is the worst. So if you're Rory,
you just missed two four foot putts, man, you don't
want to talk about it the all I want to
ask you what was going through your head and you
lined it for that putt? Well, I thought I was
gonna hit him. You know, they discuss that with everybody.
(27:29):
So I don't blame him for cutting out. I'm like you,
that's gotta be a tough situation.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Yeah, it's too bad that he can't take the Matt
Jones approach to golf and once you get on the green,
you just pick it up.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
You don't have to hit it, just count it's already.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
He talks a lot about golf. He talks a lot
about being a great It sounds like he's a pretty
good golf I.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
He is good. He's really good. But I'm telling you,
if it gets a ball on the green, and if
it's within ten or fifteen feet, he's picking it up.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Okay, he's one of those golfers. It's good to know.
That's good to know. I mean, I felt bad for
Rory Man because I think it's a universal thing. And
this week was going so well. I don't know if
y'all know he had filed for divorce from his wife.
I want to say last month.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Right before the PGA at Valhalla like that. That week
it happened. That was the big story until Scottie Strefford stuff.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
And then Monday they reconciled. So Monday they got back together,
you know, and then he takes the lead at the
US Open. Life is good, and then that happens. I mean, man,
like what a kick in a situation like that. Like
I said, I'd just rather I'd rather just get destroyed,
(28:39):
you know what I mean. I'd rather just not be
in it. Like the twenty eight to three super Bowl,
you know with the Falcons. Wasn't that it twenty eight
to three, that's gonna last forever because of you know
what how it unfolded. But if they had just been
destroyed by three touchdowns, no one would care, like, no
one would bring it up.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
Man.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
So man, for me and those I don't want to
lose like that. I had another question for you all
on this Mery Monday. So Matt and I always talk
about this when you're in the Midwest, like me, I
don't know what the South is, Okay, Like I don't
know who's in the South, Like I don't know who
(29:18):
pays their membership dues. Who's kind of like viewed as
maybe not necessarily the South, Like what it actually is.
When you say the South on Twitter some site, I
don't know what it's called, it says ye yee. I
don't know what that is. But they put out this
map that a lot of people are talking about, got
seven point seven million views about what the South is,
(29:39):
and I want to know your opinions, fellas on whether
or not it's true. First off, about forty states are
not the South according to these guys, So like most
of the country eliminated. They have this is their measuring stick,
not the South sort of the South, the South, the
(29:59):
deep South, Florida, right, that's how they I love that, Like,
no matter where you're from, you realize Florida is its
own thing. My brother lives in Florida. It is not Florida.
Is Florida so then we can all agree with that.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Very true.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
In the Deep South, they have Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina.
That's what they're calling the Deep South. Let me tell
you something. I went to South Carolina three months ago,
four months ago, and I've been there like you know
a little bit peach jam and stuff like that. I
had been in like South Carolina, South Carolina and spent
(30:37):
time there. That's a whole different thing. Man. First off,
they call themselves Carolina. I'm like, how did that happen? Yeah,
I mean you're just Carolina, isn't there North Carolina? That's confusing.
And then like some of the way they talk down there,
it's like like it's it's different than even what I'm
typically hearing in the South. So that feels like a
(30:58):
unique place. But they say the deep South is Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia,
South Carolina. The South they say is North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana,
and Texas. They say sort of south is Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia,
and Oklahoma. What do you all think about that? Is
(31:24):
Kentucky sort of the South? Like what where?
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Did?
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Where does Kentucky fit into that?
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Conversation Kentucky doin Kentucky definitely is like the Southern lifestyle.
I would say, you know, like like like fraud, chicken,
fried chicken, sweet tea, like like that type of thing.
But you know, you look at a map and you think, well,
Kentucky doesn't really look like it should be in the South.
(31:51):
But I feel like it's it's kind of about the lifestyle.
So I think that's why you would consider Kentucky the South.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
What do you think, Ryan.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
See, I kind of agree with you. Kentucky lifestyle more
resembles Tennessee and Tennessee's that considered the South. I think
Kentucky will be more online with Tennessee than like being
partnered with somebody like West Virginia or Virginia that they
don't seem Southern to me at all. So I would
almost like bleed into the Tennessee grouping North Carolina, Arkansas
(32:17):
that part and yes, being a part of the South.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
As someone who's going to spend a lot of time
in the South this summer, I am curious. We have
some callers I'd love to hear from callers, like what
where does Kentucky sit in this conversation in the South.
I mean, it's a very interesting, interesting map. Again, Florida,
it's just Florida, and everybody agrees that it's just Florida,
you know. And you know what the problem with Florida is, Fellas,
(32:43):
It's people haven't really been to Florida. They've been to
Disney World, Disneyland, They've been to They've been to South Beach. Yeah,
you know what I mean, in Miami. They haven't been
to like Jacksonville, you know what I mean, Gainesville, Anyville,
place in Florida is real Florida. And once you go
(33:06):
to like real Florida, it's a different kind of thing,
you know what I mean, compared to the rest of
the of the country. So I appreciate that they kind
of said Florida is its own thing. The deep South.
I'm going Mississippi for that family reunion here in a
couple of weeks. Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina. Does that make sense?
Is that the deep South? You all agree with that.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia for sure, that is deep South. South
Carolina maybe be out part of it, because they've, like
you said, they they just put that state in half.
I think half of it is Deep South and half
of it South.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Yeah. I went to a gas stage of South Carolina,
and I don't know what he was saying at the
I don't know what he was saying. I put I
just put my money down. I don't even know if
I got the correct change, But whatever he was saying,
I didn't know, And I was just nodding my head
because I didn't want any trouble, you know. I just
nod in my head and put the money down and said, Okay.
I think he said word, but I don't know. It's
(34:01):
you know what I mean, it's a it's a different
thing down there, right. And then the South, they have
North Carolina, which is interesting because I feel like parts
of North Carolina don't feel like as much of the
South to me.
Speaker 5 (34:15):
Yeah, they got the mountains. That mountain part of North
Carolina's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Yeah, And like when you go to like Rally Durham area,
which I was just there, parts of it feel southern.
Parts of it feel really, you know, almost like Midwestern
or something like that.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
But they got Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana. And then here's the
one that was interested to me, Texas. It's Texas the South, Like,
how do you, what do you put Texas? Because I
feel like Texas is kind of like Florida and it's
just its own thing.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
It is tough to put them in that South category,
but I don't know where else you'd put them in,
Like like you said, make them their own category, because
they're not the West doing.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Their own thing when it comes to right, yeah, right,
like they got their own I feel like they got
their own laws that doesn't apply to any other state
in America.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Like like it doesn't feel like when the South holds
a family reunion, Texas doesn't show up, like you know
what I mean, Like Florida's at the hotel, they had
a late night, They're not gonna make it, and everybody
kind of knows it, right, Like Florida's not coming. Texas
just is not gonna show up. They're gonna hold their
own reunion. It feels like, right, they're they're kind of
(35:34):
like that and then sort of the South Kentucky apparently
in it. We'll be back and talk more about this
after the break. Science yim delivering. I'm yours love it perfect, Stevie,
my guy, man, Ryan, you gotta you gotta read force.

But then, you know, I just want to know what
the South is, and people are saying, you know, Kentucky
maybe is maybe?
Speaker 8 (36:44):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (36:44):
I don't know. We got some callers on who's our
first call?
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Let's go to free Bird.

It was celebrated our wedding anniversary, had Father's Day with kids, swimming,
and then watching UK baseball. So couldn't get much better
(37:32):
as far as I'm concerned. Regarding the South, Uh, you
know what I was taught in school or growing up
was south of the Mason Dixon line is the south.
Kentucky is definitely in the South in my opinion. Regarding
the Deep South, how I define it? If you're driving
through a state in the South in November December and
(37:53):
you're hitting junie bugs, gnats or flies and they're bigger
than the birds up. Okay, that's the deep self.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
That's the Deep South. Okay. I appreciate That's a good Okay,
that's a good way to know it. I appreciate that
because those bugs are I mean That's one thing I'm
thinking about going to Missippi, fellas is I mean, the
size of the bugs is different down there, you know
what I mean? Like it's it's it's a whole different thing,
you know, compared to up here. Like a little fly
(38:22):
you know, will bother us down there. I'm like, is
that like a Jurassic Park? What is that?
Speaker 5 (38:30):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (38:31):
Spray? Yeah, like those are the flies that were bug
Spray doesn't work, you know what I mean? You need
like something, you need something else? Man, for those who's.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Our next call, Let's go to Sue.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
Sue, what's say you on this merry Monday? And where
do you rank Kentucky in terms of that conversation about
the South?
Speaker 9 (38:50):
Well, I consider us south. I do get Southern Living Magazine,
and you have to live in the South. Used to,
they wouldn't even send it out unless you was considered
in the South.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
Really, you couldn't get it in Ohio. You couldn't get
it in Michigan.
Speaker 9 (39:07):
They had they had the Midwest Living Magazine.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
Yep, they didn't want to send that past the line. Okay,
So if you get Southern Living Magazine, that.
Speaker 9 (39:21):
Is the marker, Okay, Yeah, Uh, what I want to
ask you about what made me happy from the weekend
was Pleasure Ridge Park, Jefferson County Public School won the
Kentucky High School baseball championship.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
Nice.
Speaker 9 (39:41):
And I'd like to congratulate coach Brad Burns and the
team and his family. I'm looking out my back window
and I can see his house.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
Coach Brad Burns. Congratulations to Coach Burns. And you said Pleasure.
Speaker 9 (39:55):
Ridge, Pleasure Ridge Park High School Public School.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Congram in the baseball championship.
Speaker 9 (40:05):
So and what was that at the south end blue
collar school?
Speaker 4 (40:11):
Gotcha? Okay? Congratulate a lot of baseball, a lot of
winning baseball right now. I mean it's in the air.
It feels like there's just you know, that kind of
vibe has happened right now throughout the entire state. And
then it sets up perfectly for tonight's game against Texas
A and m who's our next call? And thank you
for that call? We got another.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Let's go to Mary Mary.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
How you doing this? Mary Monday? And where do you
say about Kentucky being in a south? We got you married?
How you doing we got you married?
Speaker 8 (40:44):
Hi?
Speaker 10 (40:44):
Dare can you hear me?
Speaker 4 (40:46):
We can hear you, Mary, Can you hear us?
Speaker 9 (40:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (40:49):
I can. I've actually lived eleven years Oklahoma, okay, some
years Kentucky, and twelve years Mississippi okay.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
So you know what, you're the expert.
Speaker 10 (41:03):
Yeah, I've lived in that's for sure. I think Kentucky
is fairly south. I get teased a lot about my
southern accent, but I really got it from going to
Western Kentucky University, where it's very Tennessee, a lot of
Tennessee folks. He's just hanging out with dorms and classmates
and stuff. That's where I've picked out my accent. Oklahoma
(41:23):
and Texas are a lot more like than you'd think.
So if Texas is south, I actually find Oklahoma. I
thought it was very Midwestern, the friendless, nicest people you
will ever meet, true friends, kind people of I agree you, yeah,
go ahead.
Speaker 4 (41:43):
Now I agree with Oklahoma, go ahead. I think they're
more Midwest. It feels like that.
Speaker 10 (41:46):
Yeah, when you go to Mississippi. I found living there
twelve years that if you're not a true Mississippian, you're
not a Mississippi. There's sort of a.
Speaker 4 (41:55):
Little bit of an head there.
Speaker 10 (41:57):
Yes, No, that's real true Mississippi, that's real.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
We go to every summer. We would go to every
summer as kids, and I would try to like mimic
the accent, you know, Like one time I told my uncle,
I'll be here about eleven o'clock. That's what I told him, right,
And he just looked at me and said, don't ever
talk like that again. He didn't want any party, and
it just it just went south literally from there. We'll
be back after this

say this, and I just want to know your theories
on this. Right, So Matt Jones leaves goes to Europe? Right? Yes?
(01:27):
What was that May twenty seven or something like that
around it?
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Right?
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Okay, I come in. I start the Merry Monday Wave,
which is taken off in BBN by the way, I.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Mean, it's just everybody's talking about it.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
I introduced the power of Al Green, right, and everybody's
talking about that too.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Now couples are all very happy.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Right. Yes, before Kentucky had never been to the College
World Series? Am I correct?
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Is that? If you're dead on so far? Speak the truth?
Speaker 4 (01:59):
I show up. Yes, I bring Reverend al Green with me.
And if I understand correctly, not only did Kentucky make
its first College World Series appearance, they've also just won
their first game in the College World Series? Is that accurate?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
So far?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I am not the type to take credit, but sometimes
you have to, you know what I mean, Sometimes it's
important to say, you know what I'm not saying. I'm
just saying. And all I know, Fellas is before I
showed up on Mery Mondays, there was no College World Series,
and now you got a chance to advance with a
big game against Texas A and M. Is there any chance, Fellas,
(02:39):
that I've played a role in what has happened so far?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Like?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Am I a good luck charm?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Is what I'm asking you all, Shannon, I think he's
onto something. I mean, we're giving all this credit to,
you know, coach Minjion for what he's done. But I
but I think Myron has made a good argument for
himself that maybe he's the reason we had this big,
exciting couple of weeks of baseball.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I like to think that maybe, you know, the baseball
team has hanging out in the locker room before the game.
They've changed up their soundtrack a little bit. They're playing
some al green before they go out there, and I
think that's getting them in the right mind frame to
go out there and play loosely.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You know, maybe that maybe you're onto something.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Listen, you said it, not me right, Like I'm saying,
I'm not the tame. I'm a humble person, but I
do wonder, Matt Leaves I come in and all of
a sudden, we're seeing things that you've never seen in
college baseball history at Kentucky. Here's another thought I had
from the weekend, right, Mitchell Daily's better than me. Right
(03:33):
with the walk off, because had I hit a walk
off in Kentucky's first College World Series appearance, I would
have hit at least three backflips on my way to home.
I also think I probably would have invited people from
the stands to run the basis with me. And then
I think this is just me personally. I think I
(03:56):
would pause at second base, ask somebody give me a microphone,
and probably wrapped the lyrics to hip hop paray because
that would be my moment, right like that is one
of the greatest moments in Kentucky sports history. And he's
better than me. I mean, I know he was celebrating,
everybody kind of mobbed and when he got the home
plate I would have soaked it in a little bit
(04:18):
more with a moment like that. I mean, that is
that is one of the biggest moments in Kentucky sports history,
is it not? Am I am I exaggerating that?
Speaker 5 (04:27):
No, their first ever college baseball game, and to win
it in the bottom of the tenth on a walk
off home run, it definitely deserves to come here. I'm
kind of like you though, especially that last trip between
third base and home I would have made that last
for about twenty minutes. It would have been jumping up
and down and doing a little celebrating before I touched
home plate.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Just see what Benjion was doing though. That was the
one thing you could. You could read his lips. He said,
make sure you touch home plate before you celebrate.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Yeah, because yeah, because that's that's the thing people haven't
People have missed home played in the situation. But yeah, yeah, yeah,
And I get and I respect it that he didn't go.
But I'm like, I'm like you, Ran, I probably I
would have sat at third base, probably had someone like
Stone Colt, Steve Austin, like, have somebody toss me a
couple beverages, smash them together, down them, and then at
(05:12):
the home play, I just would have really gone all
in in the moment like that, because, first off, what
a game.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Was an awesome game, and I think.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
This is and this is something that we don't see
enough right Baseball playoffs, Major League baseball college are incredible,
Like high stakes baseball is incredible. Like when you have
a game like that and it's back and forth, you
gotta come from behind situation, and then at the bottom
of the tenth you get a moment like that. Basketball's cool.
(05:43):
You know, someone hits the last second shot, that's a
cool moment. The last second field goal in football, those
are cool moments. A goal in the third period or
something like that, or even something that a shootout in hockey,
that's cool. But to me, if you if I had
to choose right to win a game, like what I
would do with the last second shot, last second field goal,
(06:04):
I would pick a walk off home run every time,
because I think that's the most memorable in terms of
how you can win a game. Like I don't think
it gets better than a walk off home run in
a playoff situation in baseball. What do you all think
of that?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I agree with you, and I think you've kind of
hit on the reason why. You know, you get the
great crack of the bat to start with, but then
you get to take a victory lap to celebrate that
winning home run you just hit. You know, in football
or basketball you can run around, but man, you get
a victory lap where every all eyes are on you.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
You can't touch that guy though he gets.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
To home plate. So it is kind of something special.
And you know we're gonna forget Ryan Nicholson hit one
in the bottom of the ninth to tie it. Yeah,
get a home run, you know that was big. But
that was huge to get that one, and then for
Daily to do it the next thaning was pretty special.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
There's nothing better than the walk off though in baseball.
Agree with you, Myron, because you don't know when it's coming.
It's the element of surprise. Like if you're watching a
basketball game and you know you get a tie game,
you know that the clock's ticking down.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Here it comes.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
If there's going to be a last second made shot,
it's going to be you know, in the next few seconds.
In baseball, it could be any scenario and boom there
you know, just in a matter.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Of of a of a second, the crack of a bat,
the game is over.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
So I think that that element of surprise in baseball
to walk off gives it the best inding in sports.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
I would have had somebody with like a chariot, right like,
but not one with horses like one where the people
carry you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Yeah, yeah, with like.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
A throne on it. Right, they would have put the
throne on the field. I would have climbed into it
at third base and there would have been a crown.
And what's the thing, it's not a staff? What are they?
You know what I'm talking about, Like Macho Man used
to have it. I don't know what an accept It's
called a sceptor. A sceptor, you know, like one of
the with a ruby on top of it. Yeah, yeah,
(07:53):
I would have had a cape, you know what I mean.
And then they would have literally carried me to home
plate and then sat me down. I would have stepped
on home plate and I would have celebrated that one.
I just would have been I would have been over
the top with it. But that was such an incredible,
incredible game. And again, all I can tell you all
(08:16):
is before I came right, And I'm not saying Matt
Jones is a good luck charm. I'm sure too. Matt
Jones leaves, he says, mine, I want you to do Mondays.
I'm like, cool, I'll do Mondays. I show up to
start the week. And now we're seeing things that you've
never seen before in Kentucky sports history. It's just something
to consider. It's just something to think about. But I'm
not taking full credit. I think it's our green. If
(08:38):
I'm being I think it's our green.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Can you come back in March maybe, you know, hang
out with this then host to show a couple of
times as.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Soon as Matt left. Also, the Reds went and won
like six games in a row.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
So how about that?
Speaker 5 (08:51):
So when you you coming in and Matt Levin has
definitely been good for baseball, Reds Baseball and UK baseball. Hey,
how about the UK crowd that's out there? Man, you
hear the go big Blue coming through the TV monitory. Yeah,
it's awesome. Blue showed up.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Yeah. Well, I mean but you always show up, like
you all show up more than anybody. I mean, like
that's never a surprise. Right anywhere there's.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
A game anywhere, you all will be there.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
I mean, and it's pretty remarkable. And like I know,
covering like tournament NCAA tournaments and different events like that,
how many people show up without tickets two events? I mean,
that's the amazing thing to me that you all will
just go. It's set up at local bars in the
area and just kind of flood the streets, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You see that in Nashville during the SEC tournament.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Fans come down, don't even have a ticket, don't even
have an intention of going to the game.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
They just want to be close to where it's all
going on.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Like saying a large biker gang or something on the
You ever see like one of those large bike it's
just like fifteen hundred of them or something like that.
I ran it. That was in North Carolina one time.
I didn't know anything about biker I hadn't know like
bikers had conventions, you know what I mean. I thought
they just met up at like a rest stop or
something and then hung. God, I don't know they had
like these organized events. But I was at this biker
(10:02):
this hotel that happened to also host this giant biker convention,
and there were like a thousand bikers at this hotel.
I've never seen anything like it, and they were literally
everywhere you looked. I don't know if there's a uniform,
but they all had on the you know, the leather situation.
That's what it's like when you go to an event
and Kentucky fans out there. They are everywhere you turn,
(10:27):
and you're certainly seeing them in Omaha. Where with this
championship rank, I actually hasd that a couple of weeks ago.
But now it's getting real. Like I mean, before it
was kind of real. It was going to the College
World Series, the history attached to that, but now this
is something else because you're playing Texas A and M
today seven pm ESPN, which pays me kudos, ESPN, And
(10:54):
I mean, this is where does this rank historically among
like Kentucky sports moments for you all? I'm not asking everybody,
but like for you all, where does it right?
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Wow? If they go on to win the World Series
in their first appearance this year, if it's great season
they've had, I wouldn't. I don't know if I could
put it above a basketball championship, but I in my mind,
I would put it above everything else.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
But we hold on a manue above a football title.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
But I haven't got a football title. You talk about
things that how a you're talking about things that's already happened.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah, now that that was my idea. That was my idea.
But you you'd pick a you pick a college football
championship over.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Oh absolutely, yeah, I definitely if the things that have
already happened, where would this rank. Yeah, it would probably
just be it'd probably be second behind a basketball title.
Really would wow? Wow?
Speaker 4 (11:43):
I know.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
I volleyball team just won a title. I don't want
to take anything away from them. Rifle has won like
twenty one titles, but man, to win the College Baseball
Series is pretty special. Oh's got a good rifle team. Oh,
we are a rifle school. We're not a basketball school
or football school. We're a rifle school. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
You ever see that thing in the Olympics man, or
they're on like skis and they shoot stuff crazy.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Yeah, like a marathon on skis and then you got
to stop and shoot something shooter target.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
It's like real James Bond stuff. I mean, like, forget,
why are you casting like stunt double? Like just put
those people in it. But so you guys have a
good rifle to him, I didn't know that, man. So
I want to hear from everybody else on this Mary Monday.
How you feeling about this College World Series game? What
something that made you happy, something that made you smile? Also,
(12:30):
if you think I'm the reason this is happening. I
want to hear it. If you think it's al greech,
I want to hear it. It feels like a celebratory moment.
I did I think with Al Green the first week
James Brown. I'm leaving for a vacation. I'm happy. I
want a little Stevie Wonder, Yes, Wonder on today. I
love I love Stevie Wonder, Man, I love Stevie. I
(12:52):
ran into him at the airport a couple.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Of years back because he didn't see it coming.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
WHOA, whoa, whoa Arency.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Are you Are you in the conspiracy? Are you in
the Okay? So here's the thing, all right, And I
don't want to listen. I know people have their conspiracies.
I can only tell you what I witness with Stevie Wonder.
Somebody was driving him in a golf cart right through
the airport here in Minneapolis.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
So all of a sudden he pulls up and everyone
kind of crowds around him. Pretty amazing moment, Oh, Stevie, Stevie,
he just performed somewhere. And then you know, this woman
walks up to him. She's like, hey, Stevie, I want
to take a selfieh and he's like, hey, hey, no,
get in, get in, get in, And they took the
selfie and Stevie goes, I'll hold the phone. I'm not
(13:42):
joking to you. Stevie was the one who took the seller.
He had the phone up and I have a picture
of it to prove it. I'm not saying that means anything,
but he was. He was holding the phone. But Stevie's legendary.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
Man. Now you just got.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Ceibatory music intuition. You know, he can just kind of
tell where things are without seeing them. Well, I mean
he's good, he's good. There are a lot of stories man,
out there.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, I don't know if you hear heard the story
about him and Ray Charles right at the Weird of
the World when they were making We Out of the World. Yeah,
there's a documentary that has this, has this story. But
apparently Ray Charles was like, hey, I got to go
to the restroom, and Stevie was like, I'll take you.
This is what this is what people said. They said
that Stevie led Ray Charles, you know, So, I don't know,
(14:27):
it's intuition, whatever it is. He's the greatest musical genius
in the history of our time. He was a thirteen
year old musical savant. And I want to hear little
Stevie won day nice. Hey, hey, I'm getting ready to
celebrate you all that celebrated. It's a festive moment. Have
you seen someone?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Have you seen the video? There's a video of Stevie
Wonder catch it catches the microphone.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
The guy's not even touching the microphone and it falls
to the side and he just before it hits the ground,
explain that one to me, Myron.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
He did catch the mic. He did catch the mic,
and it was like, all right, man, yeah, okay, what's
going on here? Man?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Do you want to tell us?
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Shaq says, Shack told the stories killing him where they
lived in the same complex in La some big luxury
you know, five star joint, And Shack says, he pulls
up to valet right and tosses his keys to the
valet gets out. As he's coming into the complex, he
(15:32):
walks in past Stevie, and Stevie looks up and goes, hey, Shack,
how you doing this is what? These are not my theories, people,
This is not me saying this. I love Stevie Wonder,
I respect Stevie Wonder. I think he is everything he
says he is. I'm just telling you some of the
stories that are out there. But I think if you're
(15:54):
going to celebrate a week like this some Stevie Wonder,
I think it's a great way to do it. I'm
getting ready to take off enjoy Nolan's food. Somebody told
me I can't call it Nola. I got a friend
who told me that they don't call it Nola. You
gotta call it Nolin's or something like that, you know. Yeah, yeah,

He's incredible man, incredible, incredible talent. There's some incredible talent
on display. That College World Series game Kentucky getting ready
to host Texas A and m or face TEXTA A
and him. I should say it's a neutral sech game
in oh My Hall seven PM Eastern on ESPN Uh
before we get the cast, I'm just gonna tell you, guys,
(16:57):
the stuff that I'm seeing on the Twitter verse. Okay,
people are saying it's me. I didn't say it. Okay,
I didn't say it. I'm just telling people are saying.
Dirt Road Sneakerhead says, you are definitely responsible for UK
baseball's postseason success. Also, I can say with one hundred
percent certainty that no one has ever seen you in
Superman in the same place. At the same time, I
(17:19):
can't prove that you are Superman, but I also can't
prove that you're not him. I respect it. I respect this.
I'll take you know, that's a compliment to say I'm
responsible for the UK run. I respect the Superman, but
that's a bit much. We all know if there was
a black man with a red cape flying around the world,
(17:40):
it wouldn't last long. It would be a situation. Okay,
so I'm not Superman, but I do respect the thought. Listen,
this isn't me, people, This is just this is just
people saying that maybe fellas again, maybe I show up
and maybe that's help. That's all I mean. I'm not
taking anything away from the team. They deserve ninety nine
(18:04):
of of the you know, praise. I'm just wondering if
maybe I'm a little good luck chun, that's all. And
it sounds like people on Twitter think that I could
have something to do with it, that's all.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
It's a great way to start the week. We got
Myron on Monday, Mary, Monday's a good way to jump
start your week right off the bat.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
We gotta wait to see what happens tonight. If they
win tonight, I'm nervous.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
But next tom did not throw their ace in their
first game, so that they're throwing their ace tonight, and
A and M and Kentucky did not play during the
regular season.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
They're gonna do those weird cheers and stuff with their fans,
like I bringing those people maybe a little bit right,
like it is over the top. Yeah, yeah, I want
to have in these meetings the night before the game.
It's it's just a lot. I don't want to have
to do that much as a fan, you know what
I mean. I want to show up in cheer and
enjoy it. I don't want to have to I don't
have to come to a meeting. And it sounds like
(18:55):
they just do a lot of it. Who's our first caller.

More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
What a song, What a beautiful song.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
It could be.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah, on your way to work or wherever you're going
as you're getting ready for this big game that everyone's
talking about, obviously texting him Kentucky. Who who is this
ace man everybody's talking about? Is it you all got
to talk about? Is this Cy Young Satchel Paige, Randy Johnson,
Nolan Ryan, Who is it?
Speaker 5 (23:35):
C C.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Sabathia who is this guy? I don't make him so intimidating.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
I don't know that either, but I'm not. I'm not
worried or intimidated after that last call, Kentucky shows up.
I mean, they've been proven they can hit anybody this year.
Their bats are awesome.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Okay, I think I found him. Is it Ryan Prager?
Is this the dude David was talking about? I think
it's Ryan Prager? Okay, pitched a perfect game earlier. I
think this season sounds like that's the guy.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
That's got to be him, because man, it's intimidating.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
But I mean, the way you've been playing, nothing's matter.
Like sometimes when it's your year, it just doesn't matter.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Doesn't considered the ace of the staff that's him.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Had a perfect game earlier looks like this season and
I didn't want to bring it up Ryan, but then
people on Twitter brought up brought it up like from here,
what colors are you wearing?
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Man?
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Like what what.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
I have on the e k U Colonel's colors? Burkey
and didn't think about Texas A and M. Also, Okay,
what are you doing Ryan?
Speaker 4 (24:43):
From here? It looks like an A and M shirt?
You know what I mean from where I'm I don't know.
It just feels like if I'm the good luck charm, right,
I just don't want that to be something that comes
back to you, right that wheres you know wearing those
those colors?
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Man, I'm hearing Mario posted a picture and you don't
see the e ku. You just see the maroon top.
You think I'm wearing Texas A and M stuff today.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Yeah, it looked, it looks uh, it looks a little
A and emmy, you know, but it happens. It happens.
It's not it's not e k U is legit you
make Yeah, yeah, you just gotta you just gotta make
that clear.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
I think on the day, on a day like this,
you know, agreed, agreed.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
But it's gonna be a big game. Man. I'm looking
forward to seeing how it all plays out. I think
the momentum it looks like it could continue. Did you
all see ry McElroy? Did you watch the US Open yesterday?
And I had it on.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
I was kind of trying to keep an eyeball on
a little bit. Loses missing putts, man, he missed like
a couple of puts there, and then Inn could have
locked it up. For him.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
He missed, he missed four, He missed two four foot
putts in the last couple of holes. Yes, that would
have given him. Then he had he had a drive
that went you know, that wasn't what it could have been.
But you know what I mean, He's had like a
ten year major drought. He's right there and then he
just misses it. Man, and I just feel bad. I
(26:17):
felt bad for him. He lose to Bryson d. Chambeau,
gets into his car after, you know, drives away, doesn't
talk to the media, gets on the plane, which I
don't blame him for, like in those situations, like I'm
surprised when athletes do talk to us, you know what
I mean, Like I get my car and leave too.
But it just made me think, like, like to me,
(26:38):
in a moment like that, I'd rather get blown out,
like you tell me, super Bowl, major National chant, I'd
rather lose by thirty than lose like that. Like I
would rather just get destroyed. And that one's like, okay,
we're not on the same level. Then be up, like
you know, in a national championship game in basketball, up
(26:59):
like four with a minute to play, and then lose.
You know, you know what I mean, Like that to
me would hurt a lot more than the other situation.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
You know this, like I do with this. The worst
thing to have to do is a member of the
media is going a losing locker room that just lost
the heartbreaking. It is the worst. So if you're Rory,
you just missed two four foot putts, man, you don't
want to talk about it the all I want to
ask you what was going through your head and you
lined it for that putt? Well, I thought I was
gonna hit him. You know, they discuss that with everybody.
(27:29):
So I don't blame him for cutting out. I'm like you,
that's gotta be a tough situation.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Yeah, it's too bad that he can't take the Matt
Jones approach to golf and once you get on the green,
you just pick it up.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
You don't have to hit it, just count it's already.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
He talks a lot about golf. He talks a lot
about being a great It sounds like he's a pretty
good golf I.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
He is good. He's really good. But I'm telling you,
if it gets a ball on the green, and if
it's within ten or fifteen feet, he's picking it up.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Okay, he's one of those golfers. It's good to know.
That's good to know. I mean, I felt bad for
Rory Man because I think it's a universal thing. And
this week was going so well. I don't know if
y'all know he had filed for divorce from his wife.
I want to say last month.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Right before the PGA at Valhalla like that. That week
it happened. That was the big story until Scottie Strefford stuff.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
And then Monday they reconciled. So Monday they got back together,
you know, and then he takes the lead at the
US Open. Life is good, and then that happens. I mean, man,
like what a kick in a situation like that. Like
I said, I'd just rather I'd rather just get destroyed,
(28:39):
you know what I mean. I'd rather just not be
in it. Like the twenty eight to three super Bowl,
you know with the Falcons. Wasn't that it twenty eight
to three, that's gonna last forever because of you know
what how it unfolded. But if they had just been
destroyed by three touchdowns, no one would care, like, no
one would bring it up.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
Man.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
So man, for me and those I don't want to
lose like that. I had another question for you all
on this Mery Monday. So Matt and I always talk
about this when you're in the Midwest, like me, I
don't know what the South is, Okay, Like I don't
know who's in the South, Like I don't know who
(29:18):
pays their membership dues. Who's kind of like viewed as
maybe not necessarily the South, Like what it actually is.
When you say the South on Twitter some site, I
don't know what it's called, it says ye yee. I
don't know what that is. But they put out this
map that a lot of people are talking about, got
seven point seven million views about what the South is,
(29:39):
and I want to know your opinions, fellas on whether
or not it's true. First off, about forty states are
not the South according to these guys, So like most
of the country eliminated. They have this is their measuring stick,
not the South sort of the South, the South, the
(29:59):
deep South, Florida, right, that's how they I love that, Like,
no matter where you're from, you realize Florida is its
own thing. My brother lives in Florida. It is not Florida.
Is Florida so then we can all agree with that.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Very true.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
In the Deep South, they have Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina.
That's what they're calling the Deep South. Let me tell
you something. I went to South Carolina three months ago,
four months ago, and I've been there like you know
a little bit peach jam and stuff like that. I
had been in like South Carolina, South Carolina and spent
(30:37):
time there. That's a whole different thing. Man. First off,
they call themselves Carolina. I'm like, how did that happen? Yeah,
I mean you're just Carolina, isn't there North Carolina? That's confusing.
And then like some of the way they talk down there,
it's like like it's it's different than even what I'm
typically hearing in the South. So that feels like a
(30:58):
unique place. But they say the deep South is Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia,
South Carolina. The South they say is North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana,
and Texas. They say sort of south is Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia,
and Oklahoma. What do you all think about that? Is
(31:24):
Kentucky sort of the South? Like what where?
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Did?
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Where does Kentucky fit into that?
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Conversation Kentucky doin Kentucky definitely is like the Southern lifestyle.
I would say, you know, like like like fraud, chicken,
fried chicken, sweet tea, like like that type of thing.
But you know, you look at a map and you think, well,
Kentucky doesn't really look like it should be in the South.
(31:51):
But I feel like it's it's kind of about the lifestyle.
So I think that's why you would consider Kentucky the South.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
What do you think, Ryan.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
See, I kind of agree with you. Kentucky lifestyle more
resembles Tennessee and Tennessee's that considered the South. I think
Kentucky will be more online with Tennessee than like being
partnered with somebody like West Virginia or Virginia that they
don't seem Southern to me at all. So I would
almost like bleed into the Tennessee grouping North Carolina, Arkansas
(32:17):
that part and yes, being a part of the South.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
As someone who's going to spend a lot of time
in the South this summer, I am curious. We have
some callers I'd love to hear from callers, like what
where does Kentucky sit in this conversation in the South.
I mean, it's a very interesting, interesting map. Again, Florida,
it's just Florida, and everybody agrees that it's just Florida,
you know. And you know what the problem with Florida is, Fellas,
(32:43):
It's people haven't really been to Florida. They've been to
Disney World, Disneyland, They've been to They've been to South Beach. Yeah,
you know what I mean, in Miami. They haven't been
to like Jacksonville, you know what I mean, Gainesville, Anyville,
place in Florida is real Florida. And once you go
(33:06):
to like real Florida, it's a different kind of thing,
you know what I mean, compared to the rest of
the of the country. So I appreciate that they kind
of said Florida is its own thing. The deep South.
I'm going Mississippi for that family reunion here in a
couple of weeks. Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina. Does that make sense?
Is that the deep South? You all agree with that.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia for sure, that is deep South. South
Carolina maybe be out part of it, because they've, like
you said, they they just put that state in half.
I think half of it is Deep South and half
of it South.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Yeah. I went to a gas stage of South Carolina,
and I don't know what he was saying at the
I don't know what he was saying. I put I
just put my money down. I don't even know if
I got the correct change, But whatever he was saying,
I didn't know, And I was just nodding my head
because I didn't want any trouble, you know. I just
nod in my head and put the money down and said, Okay.
I think he said word, but I don't know. It's
(34:01):
you know what I mean, it's a it's a different
thing down there, right. And then the South, they have
North Carolina, which is interesting because I feel like parts
of North Carolina don't feel like as much of the
South to me.
Speaker 5 (34:15):
Yeah, they got the mountains. That mountain part of North
Carolina's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Yeah, And like when you go to like Rally Durham area,
which I was just there, parts of it feel southern.
Parts of it feel really, you know, almost like Midwestern
or something like that.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
But they got Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana. And then here's the
one that was interested to me, Texas. It's Texas the South, Like,
how do you, what do you put Texas? Because I
feel like Texas is kind of like Florida and it's
just its own thing.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
It is tough to put them in that South category,
but I don't know where else you'd put them in,
Like like you said, make them their own category, because
they're not the West doing.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Their own thing when it comes to right, yeah, right,
like they got their own I feel like they got
their own laws that doesn't apply to any other state
in America.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Like like it doesn't feel like when the South holds
a family reunion, Texas doesn't show up, like you know
what I mean, Like Florida's at the hotel, they had
a late night, They're not gonna make it, and everybody
kind of knows it, right, Like Florida's not coming. Texas
just is not gonna show up. They're gonna hold their
own reunion. It feels like, right, they're they're kind of
(35:34):
like that and then sort of the South Kentucky apparently
in it. We'll be back and talk more about this
after the break. Science yim delivering. I'm yours love it perfect, Stevie,
my guy, man, Ryan, you gotta you gotta read force.

a little bit about golf, Rory McRoy, what he went through.
But then, you know, I just want to know what
the South is, and people are saying, you know, Kentucky
maybe is maybe?
Speaker 8 (36:44):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (36:44):
I don't know. We got some callers on who's our
first call?
Speaker 3 (36:46):

It was celebrated our wedding anniversary, had Father's Day with kids, swimming,
and then watching UK baseball. So couldn't get much better
(37:32):
as far as I'm concerned. Regarding the South, Uh, you
know what I was taught in school or growing up
was south of the Mason Dixon line is the south.
Kentucky is definitely in the South in my opinion. Regarding
the Deep South, how I define it? If you're driving
through a state in the South in November December and
(37:53):
you're hitting junie bugs, gnats or flies and they're bigger
than the birds up. Okay, that's the deep self.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
That's the Deep South. Okay. I appreciate That's a good Okay,
that's a good way to know it. I appreciate that
because those bugs are I mean That's one thing I'm
thinking about going to Missippi, fellas is I mean, the
size of the bugs is different down there, you know
what I mean? Like it's it's it's a whole different thing,
you know, compared to up here. Like a little fly
(38:22):
you know, will bother us down there. I'm like, is
that like a Jurassic Park? What is that?
Speaker 5 (38:30):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (38:31):
Spray? Yeah, like those are the flies that were bug
Spray doesn't work, you know what I mean? You need
like something, you need something else? Man, for those who's.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Our next call, Let's go to Sue.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
Sue, what's say you on this merry Monday? And where
do you rank Kentucky in terms of that conversation about
the South?
Speaker 9 (38:50):
Well, I consider us south. I do get Southern Living Magazine,
and you have to live in the South. Used to,
they wouldn't even send it out unless you was considered
in the South.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
Really, you couldn't get it in Ohio. You couldn't get
it in Michigan.
Speaker 9 (39:07):
They had they had the Midwest Living Magazine.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
Yep, they didn't want to send that past the line. Okay,
So if you get Southern Living Magazine, that.
Speaker 9 (39:21):
Is the marker, Okay, Yeah, Uh, what I want to
ask you about what made me happy from the weekend
was Pleasure Ridge Park, Jefferson County Public School won the
Kentucky High School baseball championship.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
Nice.
Speaker 9 (39:41):
And I'd like to congratulate coach Brad Burns and the
team and his family. I'm looking out my back window
and I can see his house.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
Coach Brad Burns. Congratulations to Coach Burns. And you said Pleasure.
Speaker 9 (39:55):
Ridge, Pleasure Ridge Park High School Public School.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Congram in the baseball championship.
Speaker 9 (40:05):
So and what was that at the south end blue
collar school?
Speaker 4 (40:11):
Gotcha? Okay? Congratulate a lot of baseball, a lot of
winning baseball right now. I mean it's in the air.
It feels like there's just you know, that kind of
vibe has happened right now throughout the entire state. And
then it sets up perfectly for tonight's game against Texas
A and m who's our next call? And thank you
for that call? We got another.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Let's go to Mary Mary.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
How you doing this? Mary Monday? And where do you
say about Kentucky being in a south? We got you married?
How you doing we got you married?
Speaker 8 (40:44):
Hi?
Speaker 10 (40:44):
Dare can you hear me?
Speaker 4 (40:46):
We can hear you, Mary, Can you hear us?
Speaker 9 (40:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (40:49):
I can. I've actually lived eleven years Oklahoma, okay, some
years Kentucky, and twelve years Mississippi okay.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
So you know what, you're the expert.
Speaker 10 (41:03):
Yeah, I've lived in that's for sure. I think Kentucky
is fairly south. I get teased a lot about my
southern accent, but I really got it from going to
Western Kentucky University, where it's very Tennessee, a lot of
Tennessee folks. He's just hanging out with dorms and classmates
and stuff. That's where I've picked out my accent. Oklahoma
(41:23):
and Texas are a lot more like than you'd think.
So if Texas is south, I actually find Oklahoma. I
thought it was very Midwestern, the friendless, nicest people you
will ever meet, true friends, kind people of I agree you, yeah,
go ahead.
Speaker 4 (41:43):
Now I agree with Oklahoma, go ahead. I think they're
more Midwest. It feels like that.
Speaker 10 (41:46):
Yeah, when you go to Mississippi. I found living there
twelve years that if you're not a true Mississippian, you're
not a Mississippi. There's sort of a.
Speaker 4 (41:55):
Little bit of an head there.
Speaker 10 (41:57):
Yes, No, that's real true Mississippi, that's real.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
We go to every summer. We would go to every
summer as kids, and I would try to like mimic
the accent, you know, Like one time I told my uncle,
I'll be here about eleven o'clock. That's what I told him, right,
And he just looked at me and said, don't ever
talk like that again. He didn't want any party, and
it just it just went south literally from there. We'll
be back after this
