Episode 35 of Interrupted by Matt Jones podcast, and it's ready to rock here on a Wednesday afternoon in Lexington, Kentucky. We haven't done a news segment in a while, so a lot of you may not know what's happened in the world. And so, Drew, nice to have you here.

29.876 - 38.285 Matt Jones

For people who don't know, Drew May is about to have a baby. Yes. Not him specifically, but his partner. Are you getting nervous?

Chapter 2: What are the biggest news stories of the week?

38.725 - 58.932 Matt Jones

Uh, nervous in the word, uh, no nerves, uh, little things like, have I done this? Have I done that? Am I prepared? But it's mostly just excitement. Been counting down and just ready for it to happen. If you see me run out of here at any moment, you guys just finished the show. That means I got the phone call and it's a girl. It's a going to be girl. Yeah. The name is Olga. Olga is on the list.

59.593 - 71.097 Matt Jones

The true due date is Masters Sunday. I've suggested Magnolia Lane. Azalea. Azalea. Akshay. Siwu. Hideki. Are you thinking about going Seaway?

0

Chapter 3: How is Drew preparing for fatherhood?

71.197 - 97.182 Matt Jones

I really want to say whoever wins the Masters, let's just go with that. Oh, I like that. Ludwig... Ludwig? That's a great girl's name. Or Scotty Roy would be a favorite there. Bryson? Bryson could be a girl. Yeah. I like the idea. I think it should be, because there's a lot of names that work. I mean, there are female Scotties. Of course. And that's also a friend of yours. That would be nice.

97.323 - 111.392 Matt Jones

Tiger we've had to eliminate, unfortunately. Yeah. You know, Magnolia Lane actually fits a little bit. Call her Maggie, maybe. Do you know what you're naming her? We think so. We have a few. But you're, like, wanting it to pop out. I don't know if pop's the word. Yeah, I don't know if that's what they use.

0

111.412 - 125.112 Matt Jones

But you're wanting it to pop out, and then, like, you'll decide if it looks like what it is. I would say there's a heavy, heavy betting favorite for name. Beatrice. Yeah, it'll be. I still want to look at her and make sure it fits. Who gets the final decision, though?

0

125.632 - 150.728 Matt Jones

it'll be a group decision we both like the one we're favoriting but we just want to make sure because if she doesn't if it doesn't line up you know we might have to go back to the drawing board also remember this weekend is wrestlemania so you could also do it based on who wins that yeah so you could name it uh roman oh roman reigns roman reigns that's right well you got cody uh brock

151.062 - 172.866 Matt Jones

You know, there's a lot of those. Who are the female wrestlers these days? I'm guessing Alita's not around. Sonny, Trish. I don't know. Who's Sable? Honestly, there's a girl named Jade. Okay. I don't know. I actually don't know, which is a shame because I don't watch it as consistently. I know everyone's mad at Pat McAfee for being involved. We've eliminated Pat also as a name.

172.906 - 194.56 Matt Jones

But how about McAfee? Leaning on it. Actually, I have family that are the McAfees. There you go. Sounds like a perfect... Well, good luck. Thank you. Everyone here at the Interrupted Podcast, which is really me, you, and Billy. We're all rooting for you. Billy, you... You prepared some news a couple weeks ago, and we weren't able to do it. So now, really, this is like a month's worth of news.

195.462 - 197.785 Matt Jones

Now, is this updated, or are you doing old news, too?

197.805 - 201.07 Drew Franklin

No, this is all pretty much updated in the last 48 hours.

201.21 - 210.783 Matt Jones

Good. Well, I'm excited. So 10 news tidbits. It's the news with Matt Jones and Billy R. Sports and Drew Franklin. Go ahead. What's the first one?

Chapter 4: What recent news has emerged about the war with Iran?

578.152 - 596.933 Matt Jones

No. Can you imagine what that reaction would have been? It would have been madness. But people just ignore it. They're just like, this man's a lunatic. What do you call it? Power plant day and bridge day, I think he also said. And what I think's funny, Billy, is that the biggest lunatics in MAGA have now all turned on him.

0

596.953 - 606.723 Matt Jones

The craziest people in MAGA, at least in my mind, have now all flipped on him. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Candace Owens. I don't think Tucker's crazy, but he's pretty out there.

0

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Trump's ceasefire announcement?

607.224 - 619.115 Matt Jones

He's definitely flipped on him. They've all flipped on him. And so the only people left are people that on the surface are rational, but yet somehow will try to defend this insanity.

0

619.135 - 624.704 Drew Franklin

Well, they know how their bread's buttered, right? They line up with Trump just to get elected.

0

624.844 - 649.117 Matt Jones

Even more pathetic. I agree. The post on Easter, whatever you think of what's going on beyond the post. And no one should think that's okay for the president's tweet on Easter Sunday. So my mom called me or I called my mom on Easter and it was like two o'clock and we got like 25 minutes in the conversation and she hadn't said that. And I know how my mom feels about Trump.

0

649.137 - 668.797 Matt Jones

And I thought to myself, you've gone 25 minutes and you haven't said you're revolted by this. I bet she hasn't seen it. And I was like, Mom, I want you to get through Easter, which is my mom's favorite holiday. Of course. Your parents looked amazing in the picture you posted. How good did Larry look? I even asked you, I was like, Larry got a tailor? Looking like a nice little suit there.

0

668.817 - 679.792 Matt Jones

That suit looked so good. And they were standing in front of, that was the cross where they took their picture on their wedding day 41 years ago. I didn't even know that part. Yesterday was my parents' 41st wedding anniversary. Congratulations.

Chapter 6: How does LeBron James's comment affect his reputation?

680.453 - 682.096 Matt Jones

I didn't do anything, but congrats to them.

683.738 - 705.433 Matt Jones

So anyway, I said, get through Easter and then look at this post. She didn't do it. And then she spent the rest of the night angry about it. I should have just not told her about it. Literally just lived that day of innocence. And then she could have seen it the next day. He's just, he's insane. And then this war is, I mean, I'm glad civilization didn't end, but it too is a disaster.

0

705.453 - 723.76 Matt Jones

It's too is a disaster. Have you read? The New York Times has a story. which I encourage everyone to read. You get one free story a month, I think. I already used mine this month. Did you use yours for the Kentucky basketball? But I think I read that on March 29th, so maybe I'm good. It's April 8th now. You should read it.

723.78 - 750.029 Matt Jones

I think it came out Sunday, and it was basically how the administration decided to go to war. And if you read it, it essentially said that everyone in the administration told him, let's not do this. But Netanyahu said, Said, let's do it. And he decided to do it. Now, when I read it, I don't think they put that out unless they feel pretty confident about it.

750.61 - 776.735 Matt Jones

But when I read it, Billy, it said to me, all these people in the administration are trying to cover their ass. To be like, I tried to tell him. That's how I read it. Because it's like, quotes J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, all these people in the administration except Hegseth. Hegseth was the only one that was like, go get him. He seems to like some more. It seems like it.

777.817 - 788.755 Matt Jones

And then everybody else was like, I really don't think it's a very good idea. And I read that as they all leaked this so that they can later go. I tried to stop it.

788.836 - 792.484 Drew Franklin

You think that's what they really said, or you think they flipped since public perception?

793.065 - 813.943 Matt Jones

You know I don't like J.D. Vance, but he has been pretty consistent anti-wars in the Middle East. So yes, I do think he probably said that. I think Marco Rubio's a smart guy. I think he probably said that. Yes, they say the generals, a lot of people refuse to give an opinion about And we're like, you can decide. Here are some risks, but it's your choice.
