Chapter 1: What recent news topics are trending in sports?

0.031 - 6.331 PFT Commenter

It's that time to put on your jersey and wave your flag, whoever you root for.

0

6.652 - 15.382 Joe Haden

Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breathe? and it's beautiful. The guys are young and cute and fit.

0

15.463 - 18.147 David Ross

It's not just a game. It's your culture.

0

18.327 - 20.731 Joe Haden

I like watching it with my dad.

0

20.751 - 21.993 David Ross

It's a connecting force.

22.293 - 39.64 PFT Commenter

From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Echavarri, and this is American Football, a show about soccer culture in the U.S. and its underdog roots. Listen to American Football on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

43.079 - 66.133

Can superstars even exist the way they used to? 2016 was sort of that last era of monoculture, where we still consumed things in community. Everybody wanted to be Beyonce at that point. I don't think we'll ever see another Rihanna. What does it mean to be Black and eat in America? You will never make me feel bad for being a Black girl, for being a Black American girl, ever.

66.113 - 78.283

From music to food to the conversations shaping Black culture right now, Therapy for Black Girls is bringing it all to the mic. Listen to Therapy for Black Girls on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

78.888 - 99.419 Matt Jones

Hey, it's Alec Baldwin. This season on my podcast, Here's the Thing, I talk to composer Mark Shaman. It's about the hang. It's the pleasure of hanging out with the people that you're with. You know, Rob and I was always a great hang. And director Morgan Neville. Film school teaches you all the wrong things about making documentary. What do you want to say? Documentary is all about your ear.

Chapter 2: What are the challenges facing UK Football this season?

598.136 - 617.406 Matt Jones

But they both start with the letter A. Yeah, sure. They don't look alike. They don't spell Reeves the same. One's white, one's black. Yeah, a little difference there. Yeah. Lakers versus Pelicans. Maybe a little difference there. Okay. But am I right? That's what you thought? I heard Reeves, so yeah, it had to be it. You don't...

0

618.112 - 644.631 Matt Jones

You don't think DeAndre Liggins is up to all this school board stuff, do you? Yeah. You know, he's interesting. Ryan thinks I played for the 2012 National Champions League. He had a great season. Terrence Jones, Matt Jones, must have been the same. Heard it on the radio. Thinks Drew is a gospel singer. But you don't want to say what he did. I honestly don't know.

0

644.651 - 663.017 Matt Jones

There's some financial issues within the school corporation, and he's the superintendent, so it kind of falls under his umbrella. One thing that's been really reported is his travel was just outrageously expensive, and you can't prove why. I think there might have been a trip to Australia that just costs close to $10,000. And they're like, how did you spend that much?

0

663.057 - 678.273 Matt Jones

And he hasn't been able to provide why everything costs so much. Well, I mean, Australia, it's a long flight. Why would he have gone to Australia? What's there? Maybe he couldn't prove that either. I don't know the reason for the trip.

0

678.293 - 679.334 Bobby Bones

But a lot of it is his travel.

680.175 - 689.659 Matt Jones

I don't know the total. They keep expanding the city boundaries. I don't know how far it goes. I kind of don't think it goes to Perth. No.

690.34 - 690.661 Mikal Bridges

So I don't know.

690.681 - 705.584 Matt Jones

You've got to go scout out other schools. In Australia? Maybe. Help the Fayette County School Corporation? Why do you keep saying corporation? Well, that's always what it was when I was growing up. The school corporation. School district. We were school corporation.

705.604 - 706.625

School board. Okay.

Chapter 3: How is the recruiting landscape changing for college football?

1296.259 - 1319.474 Danny Pintauro

One Love. Wow. Bye. I literally filmed in his apartment in Queensbridge. His mom's was still up in that apartment. Nas was just beginning to take off. His pops used to live near me in Harlem. His dad introduced him to a whole lot of, you know, conscious stuff, and he made a young prodigy. No matter the era, Drink Champs brings you the biggest names and the most unfiltered conversations.

1346.93 - 1367.557 Matt Jones

This kid, Jafar Jackson, is as good as Rami Malek, as Freddie Mercury, and it's as good as Timothee Chalamet, as... Bob Dylan, and I say that with love and respect for both of those actors. And I don't know how many Oscar nominations they give out. I don't know if it's five, six for best actor.

0

1367.577 - 1396.257 Matt Jones

150% this kid, Jafar Jackson, should absolutely positively get nominated for his portrayal as Michael Jackson. Listen to I Am Rap Report on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here I am in this dang bed, and who's going to feed them hogs? Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. One person writes on the text machine, 772-774-5254.

1396.637 - 1420.062 Matt Jones

I love that Ryan was basically on his deathbed, but dude was still working the phone. True reporter at heart. Reporter's job never ends. That's right. What do we think about the big dog, by the way? Just can't stay off Twitter. I mean, it's like constant. And he's like, I love the guy, but man. So he needs to take his phone. I saw he was replying.

1420.102 - 1441.794 Matt Jones

There's, like, so many of these parody accounts now. He falls for all of them. There's one that's Joe Sloan, our coordinator, but it's not really him. And Vince was, like, tweeting to him. He falls for all of them. He's like, you know I love you, dog butt. It's like, that's a parody account. His name is, like, Joe Sloan's nose. Like, how does he fall for all this?

1442.435 - 1443.776 Mikal Bridges

It just gets so defensive.

1443.796 - 1448.802 Matt Jones

Again, I love Vince, but why can't he spell? Why?

Chapter 4: What impact does player transfer have on team stability?

1907.471 - 1932.947 Matt Jones

There's no really way of knowing. So that's question one. And then number two, in Kentucky, Mitch McConnell, right now, he has made a statement, but isn't at work, and nobody really knows what's going on with him either. They have said he is dealing with a health issue, but how long can someone just not be in office as a public official

0

1933.501 - 1953.583 Matt Jones

When do they have a responsibility to tell their constituents their health or what is going on? What do you think? For one, five months is way too long. Way too long. I don't know the perfect answer, but if you're having a health issue, maybe you don't have to tell everybody right away. Do you think they should kick someone out for five months?

0

1953.703 - 1977.179 Matt Jones

You're elected to represent the people, and if you're just not there. So what if it's a legitimate health issue? You should make that clear. But how long can you be out with a legitimate health issue? He showed up for no votes. He's done nothing. I'd say anything beyond a month, that's a hard no. Shannon? I'd say two weeks.

0

1977.48 - 1981.108 Matt Jones

If you're out longer than that, if I just don't show up here for two weeks...

0

1981.78 - 2000.953 Matt Jones

gotta say something like i gotta tell my my bosses here at the station they're gonna fire me if i don't show the guy in new jersey has told no one anything and and like reporters will show up at his door and no one would be there this past uh a couple days ago apparently a reporter knocked on the door and for the first time he came to the door and then he just shut it

2000.933 - 2016.737 Matt Jones

How do we know you're not just in there binge-watching Netflix and doing nothing? Well, he could be. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Or he could be sick. But you're getting paid to do a job and you're not showing up. And you are also a public representative in some private company you're working for. Kick him out. Take his paycheck. Would you kick him out? Yes.

2016.877 - 2032.943 Matt Jones

Or do you have to wait until the election and vote him out? No, I think there should be some sort of law, some sort of rule. Well, there are ways for people in Congress to kick other Congress people out. You can't get a job and then just not show up for it. You can't do that. What do you think, Ryan? You're the sympathetic one of everyone.

2033.123 - 2055.157 Matt Jones

I think as an elected public official, you're my representative. You have a duty to vote on these issues that come up. Do you think if you're elected, you should have to tell the public your health? Yes. Do you think you should have to tell them your total health? Like for the president, when he has a physical. Should they be required to release to the public the physical?

2055.478 - 2081.029 Matt Jones

That's been a question that's been debated during the Trump and Biden eras because they were both old. Do you think they should have to tell people there? Like with Biden, if he had a health issue that said he had some form of dementia, or same thing with Trump, should he have to say it? Or is it their private health? I think it is private to an extent. What extent?

Chapter 5: How does the media influence public perception of athletes?

2564.421 - 2587.887 Matt Jones

That's right. At DonFranklinAuto.com or DonFranklinOutdoor.com. Two sites, one family with Don Franklin. We are in Owensboro tomorrow on Frederica Street. Frederica. Frederica? Frederica. All right. 1201. 1201 Frederica. Are you going tonight or tomorrow? I'm not going. Oh, that's right. Are you going to Niner tomorrow? Probably tomorrow. It's a long drive.

0

2588.668 - 2599.337 Matt Jones

I'm up at five or six these days as it is. Oh, baby. Yeah. What are you doing? You going to Niner tomorrow? I'm going to go to Louisville tonight and then go tomorrow probably. We'll take a break. We'll be right back. It's KSI.

0

2603.121 - 2612.149 PFT Commenter

I love the sounds. The buzzing from the stadium. The chanting from the fans. The announcers calling the place soccer. Football. It's home.

0

2612.838 - 2616.85 Joe Haden

Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breed?

0

2618.054 - 2619.618 PFT Commenter

I inherited that fandom from my mom.

2619.799 - 2622.086 Matt Jones

I like watching it with my dad.

2622.427 - 2623.911 Joe Haden

It's a connecting force.

2624.768 - 2639.182 PFT Commenter

From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Echavarri, and this is American Football, a show about soccer culture in the U.S. and its underdog roots. We go beyond the game to the people and the stories that make it great.

2639.563 - 2644.147 David Ross

A soccer game is a festival. It's not just a game. It's your culture.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of health issues for public officials?

3094.552 - 3108.874

It's a whole amendment proposal for the new amendment for the Constitution of the United States of America that addresses what you've just been talking about.

0

3108.934 - 3121.994 Matt Jones

And it says the same trust for any elected official is military personnel. I think that's reasonable. I think that's completely reasonable.

0
0

3122.851 - 3142.151 Matt Jones

They have to pass physicals too, you know? I do think that you need a higher standard of physical health for the military, but I appreciate the call. I will say it's interesting that the only jobs that we have that have no qualifications and that you can't get fired are our most important ones. Seems like that's a little off. Think about that for a minute.

0

3143.293 - 3163.917 Matt Jones

Like you can't get fired for what are arguably the most important jobs. It's kind of how the system was built. I know. That's the way it goes. Owensboro tomorrow. We are Volunteers of America. Love to have you come out. I'm going to give away some UK tickets at the show. Nice. So someone in Owensboro will win some UK.

3164.298 - 3187.558 Matt Jones

I'm trying to figure out which basketball game, but maybe one of the early ones. But not a bad one. A good one. It's not Bryant. Not going to give them Bryant. I still think there's a chance there could be a good game at Rupp that's not. James Madison's been decent. Yeah, but I don't think you're going to get a big crowd going. I'll give you tickets to UK James Madison.

3187.578 - 3189.841 Mikal Bridges

That was the best of those ones they announced.

3190.021 - 3218.374 Matt Jones

You go to DraftKings. You can use my promo code KSR. Bet five, win $200 from DraftKings. Sign up. It's easy. You can bet all the soccer action, including tonight, Turkey versus USA. we may not play our starters. Who you got? I'm going to take the USA. It'd be a fun night to do some anytime goal scorers because who knows who will play. You'll probably get some good odds.

3218.394 - 3234.553 Matt Jones

I won't throw a name out there, but that could be a fun way to bet it because it could just be chaos. I'm going to take the USA, but I would watch Turkey because they were supposed to be good and they're already out. They're going to want to survive some dignity. Could be the last time the guys are in it. Yeah. That's right. So, we'll see. Thank you all very much.
