Chapter 1: What are the latest updates from Kentucky Sports Radio?
Hey guys, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts.
We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but you know. Tired and sick.
Tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy. Not quite. On Humor Me with Robert Smigel and Friends, me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guests, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an acapella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes.
Those people are starving for banter. Listen to Humor Me with Robert Smigel and friends on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akilah Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things.
As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority Black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslaved people.
Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. Is everyone lying to me about who they are? I felt such desperation. I felt it was what I had to do.

Chapter 2: How does the Cars for Kids program actually work?
Text machine 772-774-5254 in this edition. Sponsored by the T.J. Smith Law Office. If you call T.J., he'll make them pay. Good day yesterday, Drew. Shannon, we had Peter Burns. That was a lot of fun. He told some good stories, and it was nice. Yeah, I heard most of it. I missed maybe a few minutes, but I heard all the pickleball. I heard Chris Doering.
I caught most of the show, and even though I hated not being there, it wasn't entertaining. Yeah. Shannon, having the live Will Stein voicemail, I think right as Peter started playing it, he started getting nervous about it. He was like, is this the right thing to do?
Because when you leave a voicemail, you don't expect it to be played on a statewide radio show.
I don't want people playing my voicemails live on the radio.
Do you leave voicemails, by the way? I don't think I've left a voicemail in years.
Well, see, that goes to a conversation we were having yesterday. You know, I do leave voicemails, and I still do something that's really old, which is at the end of it, I say my name and my phone number. Like just with your friends or like in a business call?
Not necessarily my friends, but most people, if I leave a voicemail, I'll be like, this is Matt, and then I'll repeat the number, which is so dumb because it is on their phone. We got it, man. We got it. But I will be like, all right, in case this didn't work. Well, that's not nearly as old as my main takeaway from yesterday's show, and it's that Chris Doering has a landline.
That blew my mind that he has a landline. How many people do you actively engage with in life now that have a landline? Zero. I mean, absolutely zero. Every age group, everyone I know, I don't know a single person who has a landline.
So your parents don't have a landline.

Chapter 3: What recent news has emerged about the mentalist Oz Pearlman?
And I don't know if ā have either of you seen the story about 1-877-CARS-FOR-KIDS? I've not. K-A-R-S-CARS. You know that song? Of course. Everybody knows that song.
Get it out of your head.
Has run on this show ā Billions of times, correct? What did you think when you heard 1-877-CARS-FOR-KIDS? What did you think happened? Like, if you give your car to Cars for Kids, what did you think occurred? You know, I guess I've never really thought about it.
Exactly.
I had never thought about it either. I had thought to myself, what a great thing to do. Give your car for kids, right? I don't need it anymore, Shannon. I give it to cars for kids. All's good. But you had never thought about where that money would go, did you? I just assumed you were giving your car to your kid and they're just driving around. Shannon, what did you think happened?
I thought maybe there was just like this big pool of cars that were donated and then when kids become 16 and they don't have enough money for a car, they just give it to the kids. Oh, you thought you were actually really giving kids cars? Yeah, cars for kids. You donate your car to your kid. Yeah, I didn't think that. I assumed it was going to change. I guess I assumed like...
I give the car, there's like this pool of money, they get rid of the car, and they feed children or something. That would be a good cause. Yeah, so I assumed cars for kids, oh, this is great, we're helping the children. Yeah, we want to help children. And I never, I'm a critical mind. I often sit and think. Why? What is this? It never occurred to me to question cars for kids.
Maybe because it's children singing, right? Yeah. You just assume everything's in... They're not going to have children doing something bad, but I never even looked into it. Well, you know what happened? In California, somebody did. A lawsuit, a group of people who had donated their cars for kids... They sued Cars for Kids and said you use deceptive practices.
And a judge this week has ruled against Cars for Kids. Because guess where your Cars for Kids go? I mean, no clue if it's not going to kids. It goes to an Orthodox Jewish group. that sends kids and teenagers on their first trip to Israel or gives them a gap year vacation between high school and college. What? Wow. You could have given me a million guesses. Wouldn't have gotten to that.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the recent college basketball recruitments?
I know he had his pro day yesterday, but I still just think at the end of the day, the offer he has in Lexington, you know, being the big man on campus versus probably in the G League back and forth with an NBA team, I still am predicting Malachi back. 50-50 seems a little too close. So you don't think it's 50-50? No. Although, I mean, you can argue, Shannon, everything in life is 50-50.
Of course. It will either happen or it won't. Exactly. That's what I was going to say about the weather. Maybe it'll rain, maybe it won't. Yes, it's like that old sports center. I think it was Craig Kilboard who would go, Drew Franklin is 50-50. Or excuse me, Drew Franklin is day-to-day, but then aren't we all? Coach O would always say that in press conferences.
People would be like, is PJ in the boot? How's he doing? Is he day-to-day? We're all day-to-day. But, I mean, he's not ā I think I said on this show last week I'm 70-30, so I'm not too far off, but 50-50 seems a little too close. You're not taking an opinion either if you say 50-50. You're not taking any stance. You really aren't. When you say 50-50, you're taking no position at all.
All right, so then he says, though, Momsilovich, who just last week he said was Louisville and BYU and Kentucky was way behind. Now he says if he comes back, it will come down to Kentucky and Louisville. So we're back, and I guess BYU's out. I think that was his biggest lie last week. When he pretty much eliminated Kentucky, I didn't believe that at all. Kentucky just has too much to offer him.
I mean, maybe he doesn't ultimately pick here, but I did not believe for one second when he said he's down to two and left Kentucky off the list. So here's my question. If it really is Kentucky-Louisville and he's down to those two, Is this the biggest recruitment of the Mark Pope era?
Even bigger than Tyron Stokes and all that, in part because you need him, but also in part because it's against a Louisville team that already has 50 players. Absolutely. I mean, even if it's not Louisville, this is huge. You really have to get him to get into the conversation and maybe we can make a run and contend.
But to lose him to Louisville, that would be such a dunk on ā Where he might not even start. I know, by tiny little Pat Kelsey. He's already got a big roster. It would also say a lot about how they're doing in an IL. I mean, if they were to sign him with what he'll command in money, that also just says Louisville as a program is in a great spot.
It would be a horrible look for Pope if he loses him to Pat Kelsey. There's so much more playing time, shot. They've even filled the roster spot over there already that he would be taking. I thought after Rob Wright and Tyron Stokes, I was like, well ā That's as bad as it's going to get this round.
If you lost him to Louisville, but if you got him, I think all of a sudden people get a lot more energized about next year. So we'll see what happens. But Goodman has his backhand after having this out. It's almost like Goodman got a bunch of clicks and likes last week when he said Kentucky wasn't in it when they were definitely in it and they're still in it. Yeah, 888.

Chapter 5: How does the baseball team's performance affect fan expectations?
We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's gonna be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reed. He has to guard Julius Randle. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on a night-to-night basis on offense.
And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history, too.
Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers while he got the ball. Like, after you go through a training camp with that Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you gonna get the ball.
So listen to Point Game on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Why is everyone obsessed with romance right now? Like everyone. Your coworker who quote unquote doesn't read is reading romance. Your mom, book talk, the entire internet. I'm Sanjana Bhaskar. I'm Tyler McCall. And this is Radio 831, a romance podcast. The books, the tropes, the adaptations, the drama, the discourse. And what all of it says about how we actually love, yearn, and obsess.
We're going to Wuthering Heights. Which, for the record, is not a romance novel. And yet it has haunted the romance genre for 200 years. We're getting into dark romance, Age Gaps. Certain Russian hockey players. And sentient objects. In love. Which is a thing. That's the kind of conversation we're having every episode.
Listen to the Radio 831 podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
See, I... Alright, so let's see what they say during it. Alright? So, like... It doesn't say. And they're using like a cute little voice.
Yeah.

Chapter 6: What is the significance of the upcoming SEC baseball tournament?
I think when I was reading the schedule to those guys, and I know we keep saying it, but when you process the fact that we play Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma in four of our five first SEC games, four of our six first games, That is an unbelievable thing.
Yeah, and no, it's very early, but some of the websites are putting out their early rankings, and I think it was CBS, Kentucky plays eight of the top 25 and ten of the top 30 or something like that. I mean, that is just nuts how difficult that schedule is. We have, by metrics, the second hardest schedule in college football.
Now, the good part of that, though, is our schedule is going to be set up because it's scheduled for the next ten years and every other year thing. So, the next year, you're actually not playing great. Like, we replaced the Alabamas and the Oklahomas and the Texases with Mississippi State, Arkansas. teams like that. Well, also, I guess it's probably better.
Go ahead and give me the hard one now because he's going to have a little bit of a grace period anyway. People acknowledge year one is an impossible schedule. There's not a whole lot of pressure for him to win a lot of games in year one. So it's almost like, well, let's just get over that hill right away and see how it looks and then move on from there. Yeah. Well, we'll see. I think it ā
But I'm actually glad it's happening because here's what I think will happen in those games. You're going to have a game where Kentucky either wins or has a chance to win. And that's going to be the game where people all latch on and say ā this dude, this is our guy. Because I do think we will have one of those games. I hope for Will it's the first game against Alabama. I hope we win.
But whether we win or not, I hope that game is competitive, and I hope that game makes it to where in the fourth quarter that place is rocking and people go, this is what we want this to be. I think that would be huge for the program. Because that will be the biggest game we've had at this stadium since ā I mean, I don't know. I mean, that's going to be the biggest game we've had in how long?
Wow, that's probably almost certainly 3.30 ABC locked in. It is. Which is a fun tailgate spot. It'll be 3.30 ABC. It won't be game day because I think ā It'll probably be SEC Nation. Texas, Ohio State is that day too. For people that like Jordan Rodgers and the crew, that's probably an SEC Nation game. And Texas, Ohio State, that is ā they've already scheduled the time as like 7.
So we will probably be in the lead into that. And that's also ā but, I mean, think about it. Will Stein will be making his national debut against Alabama, network TV, leading into maybe the biggest game of the season, Ohio State-Texas. What a platform. If you're close in that game, at the end of it, you're introducing Kentucky football to the world. Yeah, it's a big what-if game.
That's a great opportunity. We'll take a break. Be right back. It's KSR.

Chapter 7: What do listeners think about the future of Kentucky football?
Apparently, Will Compton was thinking Brees Hall. But he doesn't know how to spell. So he spelled it incorrectly. He spelled it B-R-Y-C-E, which would be Bryce Hall. So, O's gets Bryce Hall. And O's then is like, hmm, are you thinking of someone that plays for the Jets? Or, excuse me, someone for the Bucs. And Will Compton goes, no, because Brees Hall plays for the Jets. Long story. I love it.
So because Will Compton didn't know how to spell it, he kept saying the wrong name and mispronouncing it, and it proved that he was cheating because Will Compton was not able to spell a word into Google. And O's has been cashing in so much, and I love Will Compton, but just being dumb brought down his whole business. Yeah, his whole business.
was brought down by the fact that the other guy couldn't spell. And I love the confusion because O's is, like, shocked that Will's not agreeing with him. Almost like, are you lying? But Will is also like, no, that's not who I'm thinking of.
I know what's in my head.
And then it kind of clicks. He's like, didn't you get your ā and then it kind of clicks. Like, are you talking about Brees Hall? I'm talking about Bryce Hall. I love it. So, Shannon, I've always thought those people were fake. Oh, you didn't think that they were like ā Well, no, some people do, though. Some people believe those people have ā I mean, I think that's ridiculous.
Anytime somebody asks you to put something into a computer, you have to be suspicious. Why would I have to do that if it's in my head? Once again, I kind of feel like cars for kids. O's is holding a phone up. How did we not assume maybe he's looking at the phone and getting the answer? I think he hands them his own phone and, like, has them Google it, is my understanding.
It goes in the search history.
He's like, no, no, don't use your phone. Use my phone.
Use my phone. What a gimmick. I have wondered with him. I've never believed it because it's too outrageous. But some of these tricks, I'll admit, they have left me stunned. Like, how could he have possibly done that? Do you think this ruins the whole gimmick?

Chapter 8: How do personal anecdotes shape the discussion on the show?
There is no update. That's exactly right. You were exactly right. That's exactly what the news was. I got two things. One, that schedule you just read for the first half of the football season, Mike. First year head coach, if we just win one of those games and don't look like garbage in any of the other ones, I'm perfectly happy. I completely agree with you.
If you were to win one of those games, let's just do the math. You play the two stinky teams, you beat them. Let's say you beat South Carolina on the road. Now, that's not a given by any means, but let's just say you do. And then you win one of those four games, and you finish those games four and three.
and the back half of your schedule is Vandy, Missouri, Tennessee, Florida, Louisville, you could look at that and go, well, why can't we compete in these games? You're right, sir. I mean, you could have an outlook on the year that's crazy, and all you've got to really do is win one of them. Yeah, yeah.
And my second thing, tickling Peter Burns and all this, I've never wanted to be a crazy person, but if I started, I think I would want to reverse mug people. Like, you go on walks, Matt.
Imagine you're downtown Lexington or walking around the highlands, and a guy just runs up to you and grabs you by the shoulders, yells in your face, and gives you a gentle flap in the face, but puts 50 bucks in your pocket and then runs away. What do you do about that? I appreciate the call. Probably walk home in that scenario. He gives you money to slap you?
But, you know, I will say this about Louisville. It really ā I've said this on this show before. They have done a good job with homelessness in Louisville. I mean, relatively. Like, there's significantly fewer people out. Now, I don't know where they are. I'm not saying like ā but you don't see them on the street like you did 2021, 2022, et cetera.
I'm not in Louisville much, but I know we've gotten out of hand around that time frame. Do you agree with that? You're downtown even more than I am. There's less, but they're still there. Like, I pass homeless people every morning on the way here to the station. But do you think there's less, or am I just ā I just go to the different neighborhoods?
Yeah, I mean, probably a little bit less, but I don't really do a head count on the way to work. Well, I would hope not. How many words out today? Let me see here.
What's the ā I guess it just feels like ā I know that, like, places where ā like, under bridges where people used to gather, I don't feel like there are as many. As there were. Cornbreadhemp.com. Have you tried the new spritzes yet? I got an email yesterday that they're in transit. So when I get home today, they're probably waiting for me. Yes. I got a big box of them the other day.
