This is Interrupted by Matt Jones on NewsRadio 840 WHAS. Now, here's Matt Jones. 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. 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?
No.
What are the biggest news stories of the week?
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. The true due date is Masters Sunday. I've suggested Magnolia Lane. Azalea. Azalea. Akshay. Siwu. Hideki. Are you thinking about going Seaway?
How is Drew preparing for fatherhood?
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. 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. 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? 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 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. 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. Now, is this updated, or are you doing old news, too?
No, this is all pretty much updated in the last 48 hours.
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?
I have eight this week, so only eight times. So you don't have to.
No, but hopefully – We'll have to do a random draw, last two. A lot of people don't realize that there just wasn't as much news. Slow time in the world here lately. Not much going on, so he just ran out of news.
All right, go for it. Yeah, so let's start with the war with Iran right now. Donald Trump announced on Tuesday a two-week ceasefire with Iran, subject to the Strait of Hormuz opening. The move comes after Trump threatened that a whole civilization will die tonight in a post on Truth Social. It's been over a month, about 40 days since Operation Epic Fury began in Iran.
I mean, there's a lot of stuff to talk about here, but let's start with something a little lighthearted.
