Hi, everybody. Welcome to episode two of the Matt Jones show. Thank you guys very much for making

episode one and the show is successful. You can subscribe on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. It's been

wonderful to get the response. This is what we were hoping for. So every week we're going to do

two episodes, one of which will air on radio in Kentucky,

and then the other of which we'll be on here, and we'll put both episodes on the podcast feed.

But really, there'll be one that is kind of podcast only, and we're going to start this one with an old friend of mine.

Ryan McGee, he's done writing for ESPN for a long time.

He used to work on RPM tonight.

He covers college football and auto racing.

More importantly, a smart guy with the good Southern North Carolina roots.

And there's not a lot of us in sports media, actually, from the South.

Worked with him on ESPN,

and he actually put me on the radio for my first time with ESPN.

So we talked to him a little bit earlier today, and it's a big week with all the motorsports on Memorial Day.

So we'll check it out.

And then on episode three, we'll have Crystal Ball, my good friend who works in politics.

So we go from Bumani to Ryan to Crystal Ball.

That episode should be out, probably Thursday night or so.

So with that, Ryan McGee.

All right, episode two here of the Matt Jones show.

And you know, when I started these, I wanted to get people early on that I knew

who've done these before, who I know I can talk to and are fun to be around and interesting.
