Speaker 1 (00:04):
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR Pre-Show. Today

A big thank you to Cornbread Hemp for presenting the
(00:38):
show over the last month or so. Today we are
live on location here with Commonwealth Causes at the Generosity Classic.
We are at Champions Golf Course in Nicholasville is I
think where we're at. And hosted by Commonwealth Causes, the
event was created to raise awareness and support for Kentucky's
nonprofits through meaningful community experiences centered around generosity and impact.
(01:03):
This year, Commonwealth Causes is proud to partner with Boone's
Brothers as the recipient of the first ever Generosity Classic.
My very generous co-host, Shannon the Dude, is alongside with me.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Good morning, Shannon. Good morning. I've seen a lot of
you this weekend, right? Friday night, we went out to
the Kentucky State Fair, tore it up out there, had
a good time. Then Saturday night, we were over at
Matt's for his housewarming party. Had a good time over there.
I didn't see you yesterday, but I guess we saw
each other and hung out a lot more than what
(01:34):
we normally would on a weekend, which is normally zero.
That's right. Saw you two extra times over the weekend.
You know, we do the.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Show on teams every day, so it's nice not only
to be in person on a weekday to do the
show together, but also hang out on the weekend like
we're actual friends, which we are. But, I mean, let's
go through it, because we had a hell of a weekend,
and we've got to get through maybe some certain highlights
of the weekend, or lowlights. But let's start with Friday, because... One,
(02:00):
we got a lot of football to recap over the weekend.
Week zero was here. We're just a few days away
from Kentucky football versus Youngstown State. We'll get all to
that and taking your phone calls. But we did have
a good time Friday.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Looked everywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Did not find the ladder game.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I didn't see that. I didn't see it. Is that
a thing of the past now? They get rid of it?
I was ready to conquer it.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I had watched YouTube videos for a couple hours in
preparation for Friday night, and then I did not see
it at all.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah. But I saw like the other traditional games that
you would have. The pop-a-shot was there. The thing where
you throw the little wiffle ball and you've got to
bank it off the little wooden backboard that's kind of
tilted at a 90-degree angle. And it looks so easy.
You just throw the little wiffle ball off the thing,
you bank it off there, and it falls into the basket.
I don't know. I'm starting to think that's an impossible
game because I don't ever see anybody win that one,
(02:47):
that game.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
One of the seven games that the wife lost at
in a matter of about 25, 30 minutes, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
So I was going to make a TikTok, like how
to lose $ 70. Oh, dude, $ 70. And you came back
with this little bitty stuffed animal. Looked like something you
could get at the dollar store for, oh, I don't know,
maybe a dollar. And you guys spent $ 70 on it.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Well, like, look, she was on it, right? Like, you know,
she hit the rim three times out of three in
the basketball game. But, you know, those rims are a
little bit different than the normal one. We played throw
the softball and break the beer bottle game. You get
three throws.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
It's tougher than it looks.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Misses the first one, breaks a bottle on the second one,
and then the third one, she hits the bottle dead on,
and that thing doesn't break.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Rigged. There was the other thing, too. I don't know
if they had that, but I remember it where there
was three milk bottles. or not like traditional milk jugs
like we have now, but like the old school milk jugs.
The glass ones? Yeah, yeah. You just got to knock
those three over. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
We tried that one. There were blocks, and you had
to knock all the blocks off the table before you
got any points, and, of course, it's much harder than
you think. No ladder game, though, as I was prepared for, but, dude,
I had a good time with you. It was a
little crowded there.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It was. I got to tell you, man, when you
get older, carnival rides hit older. When you get older,
they hit a little different. You know what I mean? Like,
I used to love, as a kid, getting on the Scrambler.
You know, the Scrambler goes, and it was one of
my favorite rides. I rode it one time on Friday night,
(04:18):
and I was like, man, this hits a lot differently.
Then I rode it a second time, and I go,
you know what? I think I'm done. Like, I had
to ruin my night. My stomach was in knots. My
head was spinning. And I'm like, you know what? I
guess it just hits differently when you get older because
I can't do the things I used to do when
it comes to those rides.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
You were also eating street tacos in between lives.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Well, that's true. May have had a Shane and the
Dudes brew before that. Turns out, you know, you put
a little beer in your belly and then you put
a street taco in there and then some deep fried
Oreos and you get on the Tilt-A-Whirl. It doesn't work
out too well, which is interesting, you know, because Louder
Than Life and Bourbon and Beyond Fest are both coming up. And,
of course, people go to those festivals. They like to
(04:59):
have fun. They like to drink and eat. But they got, like,
all the rides at Kentucky Kingdom open. What could possibly
go wrong when you got a bunch of drunk people,
you know, with bellies full of food? Kentucky Kingdom rides
are going to be open during? Yes, they were last year, too. So,
you know, if you want to take a break from
Pantera and Anthrax. and go jump on the teacups, you
(05:20):
can do that. It's all open. That's not a bad idea. Officially,
you're going to be out there all day. You mean
that's not a bad idea? It sounds like a horrible idea. No,
I think it's a great idea. If you're drunk and
you're getting out of the teacup, I don't think it's
a good idea.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Well, I found a pork chop sandwich, even though our
Kentucky pork producers weren't out there.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I found one.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Somehow, someway, I'm going to keep the tradition alive. You know,
I was there to see you introduce hairball, and I
missed it.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
You missed it. You got preoccupied. I did. I got
distracted by all the food. So you were over there eating. Okay,
I understand.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
We were trying all the different things, deep-fried Oreos, pork
chop sandwich, cheese fries.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Which no one liked the cheese fries. You got to
get the greater taters. Didn't get those. Those little shavings
of taters, and they put cheese on them, and they're
greater taters. That's the best kind of. But your hairball
announcement was just like, I didn't realize how quick it was. Well, no,
I'm not up there to do a monologue. It's like
60 seconds. Yeah, I'm just up there to welcome the crowd. Hey, everybody,
(06:15):
I'm Shannon the Dude. Great weather we got here. Here's hairball. Yeah,
I mean, that's pretty much it, right? That's what they
had me come out there and do, just go out
there and bring out the band. But they were great, hairball,
we saw all of them. And, you know, another state
fair in the books. Another state fair in the books.
So here we are.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I'm glad we were able to do it, even though
we did not do a show out there. Had a
good time with you.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And then we turned around the next day, and you
made the hour and ten-minute drive up to Matt's house
for his housewarming party Saturday night, which was a really
fun time, dude.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
It was bougie, man. Like, I've never been to a
house party that had its own bartender. Oh, yeah. Like,
that's sitting back there, you know, has got all the
selections of drinks that you can get. And I was like, wow, okay,
this is a next-level thing. You know, when you come
to my house, I'm usually the bartender, Billy. I go
back there behind the bar and say, what do you want? Well,
it matched the ambiance, right?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Not only is there a fountain in the front yard,
you go to the back and there's fireplaces with water
coming out of the fireplaces into the pool. even though
only one of the three fireplaces was on.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Where there was water coming out of the fireplace?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, you didn't see the rocks that were on fire
and then the fountain that was right under that.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Coming into it? No, how did I miss that? Maybe
that was later in the night. Are you sure that
didn't get lit later in the night? Because I left early. Well,
that's true. It was daylight. Well, look, when you've got
an hour and a half drive, for me, it's like
I've got to go in and hang out for a
little bit, but I can't stay all night. I've got
to get back at some point. And I made a
lot of trips to Lexington over the weekend. Yeah. So,
(07:45):
you know, I was back here yesterday. You had a remote.
Doing a WKQQ remote. That's right. Yeah, we were selling
meat out of a truck. So, you know. Selling meat
out of a truck. I had to get back home
to get some rest so I could come back and
sell some meat the next day. Well, that's an interesting
remote idea. Maybe we should do that here. Talk about
pork chops. I could have gotten you a pork chop
right there. I would have loved a pork chop. I
could have gotten you, what was it?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
20 pork chops for $ 40.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
That's about how much I spent for the one pork
chop sandwich I bought at the station.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
No, but I could have gotten you 20 of them
for that. I think it was like $ 17 for the
one sandwich at the station. Wow, see, I could have
saved you a ton of money. So, yeah, that was
a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
You left a little early, Shannon, so you missed even
more of the fun.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Later that night. Are we going to talk about this?
Maybe we should let him talk about it. Are we
going to talk about it? Should we allude to what happened?
Or should we keep that off the air? I don't
even know. Let's just say Mario had a good time.
We say Mario had a good time.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
If there are any details that Mario would like to give,
we'll let him give it.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Maybe we'll throw him on the mic when he comes on.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Maybe the best thing that ever happened to Tumamosa Billy
was the introduction of Margarita Mario.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I'll tell you, when I was in the kitchen going
around to grab something for dinner that we had there
that was catered, by the way. That's another thing. Poojie
is catered dinner. I looked over at Mario, and he's
just laughing. I'm like, what are you laughing about? And
I was like, dude, are you okay? Like, oh, yeah.
I'm like, all right, what time did you get here, Mario?
(09:10):
5 o'clock. Mario, it's 6 o'clock. You've only been here
an hour. Slow down, my man. I had a great
time with my guy, Mario. I really did. Made sure
he got home safe.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Good.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And we had a good time Saturday night. christening Matt's party,
and maybe we'll talk to Mario a little bit later.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, Mario christened it for sure. He sure did.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
The one time I didn't get to see you this
weekend was Sunday when we had the Cover Zero Fantasy
Football Draft.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
That was over the weekend, too? Yeah, that was Sunday.
That was so much happening over the weekend. Yeah, that
was at Midway. Everybody was to bring a dish. Yeah,
what was your dish?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Well, I was going to get like a bean dip,
so I go into Kroger kind of last minute looking
for dips, and I pass by the Tostitos that have
a big NFL.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Logo on it. Oh, that's appropriate.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I'm a proponent of the Shield, so I ended up
getting two Tostitos bags, and he gave me two for free,
so I came with four bags.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Of Tostitos. Look at you. You're a smart shopper. I'm
surprised you didn't just take the leftovers from Matt's party
the night before and just say, here you go, guys.
I got roosters here ready.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Or the can of green beans that you brought to
the Thanksgiving potluck. Screwed up and only got one thing
of salsa, but there was so much food already there that, like,
my food was barely touched. A lot of chips, not
much salsa. That's right. But the egg rolls were really good.
Worth Ryan's spot in the league. We had a great time.
(10:28):
I do a lot of fantasy leagues, but not a
ton in person. So for us to get together, a
big group like that, 14 people, It was a really
good time, and I'm looking forward to the Cover Zero.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
League this year.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Good.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Now, are you one of these people that stay really
focused on your team once you get the fantasy team going?
Who's the commissioner, by the way?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
It's kind of Paul. Me and Paul are kind of
the ones deciding. Oh, you're joint commissioners.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Well, Paul's running most of it. Paul, okay.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I make some important decisions. I'm an executive here. But
the problem is... We did not set the punishment for
last place.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
No, no, no. It has to be established.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Matt is saying that we are going to decide the
punishment a few weeks into the season.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
No, no. This is what I'm worried about. When Matt starts...
Who's the commissioner? Who's the commissioner? It's me and Paul. Okay,
then you guys don't... Matt doesn't get to say then
if he's not the commissioner, right?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Well, it is the Cover Zero League, so I think
he feels entitled to have some say in what the
punishment might be.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, okay. That's foul. You got to establish... What the
punishment is before the first game. You can't go four
weeks in and let's see how bad my team's doing.
Then we'll make the punishment.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I agree because he's going to start 0-4 and then
there won't be a punishment.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
The leader in the clubhouse right now is the loser
has to take the ACT. So, like, we're going to
keep workshopping it. But that is like a five, six-hour
commitment if you end up being last place in the
league and then having to do that.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Well, look, I mean, if I'm taking the ACT, right?
A-C-T or S-A-T? S-A-T. Okay, I didn't know which one.
Whichever one. I took the A-C-T. Did you take the S-A-T?
I took the A-C-T. I did, too. I didn't do
very well on it. I got bored about halfway through
it and just started filling in bubbles. Well, the S-A-T,
I think, was more reading.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Right? Yeah. And then A-C-T, I don't know. So that's
what I would do, though. If I were the last
place team and I got punished and had to take
the A-C-T, just fill in the bubbles real quick and
walk out. Well, you had to get a minimum score,
I think, is what we were workshopping. Or we'll make
you take it again, I guess. I'll just fill it
out again. I'll be done in 30 seconds. You can't
just go C's down the list on your Scantron. Okay,
(12:24):
I'll go A, B, C, D. Oh, my God. I
could not. D, C, B, A. That sounds like.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
A, B, C, D. It does sound like a terrible punishment.
I'd rather be in a Waffle House for 20 minutes.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
A Waffle House is not a punishment. A Waffle House
is a reward. And getting to eat Waffles. Because Waffle
Houses are great. Why would you not want to be there?
I mean, you get all the people watching you would
possibly want. You get to eat Waffles and take... It
was the 24-hour waffle challenge, right? So you get to
take an hour off your punishment every time you eat
a waffle. That's right. Which means, you know, if you're
really hungry, how many waffles do you think you could eat? Well,
(12:54):
I could think I could probably get out of there
in 12 hours, right? You think you could eat 12 waffles?
Over 12 hours, though? Well, it's 24 hours, right? Well,
it is. But, like, if I ate it in 12,
then essentially I could get out. So you're telling me, okay,
you're telling me you think you could eat for 12
straight hours a waffle per hour. That would be tough.
Probably not.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Probably a little slower pace than that. Yeah. I think
you would maybe believe that at first. Then you eat
that first waffle. It's like Ryan trying to eat those donuts. Oh, yeah,
I can eat. What was it? How many donuts do
you have to eat?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
20?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
No, it wasn't 20. It was a dozen. A dozen
donuts in 15 minutes or 20 minutes.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
It's funny we talk about Waffle House. I saw something
randomly this weekend that FEMA decides if they're going to
go into a disaster area or not based on if
the Waffle.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
House is open. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's been a long-known fact. Oh,
that is a long-known fact.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
We've talked about that on the KSR. I love that.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I love that because, like, if Waffle House is open,
it's not that big of a deal. Like, if you're
in a beach community and the Waffle House is open,
not that big of a deal. So, good weekend with you, dude.
I had a good time.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
And looking forward to an exciting week ahead. We're going
to have some live shows this week, including our Friday
show in Lebanon with Cornbread Hemp. That's God's country over there.
Maybe I'll throw a hay bale for you while we're
at the farm. That's right. But today we are here
at Champions Golf Course in Nicholasville. One of the probably,
if not the nicest course in the Lexington area, dude.
This is kind of the crown jewel.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
This is where we have our golf scramble for KSR
a lot of times, right? Haven't we done it here before?
I think we have done it here before.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I think it's It's been a while since we have
done it recently, but we have done it here in
the past. Today we're here with Commonwealth Causes hosting the
Generosity Classic. We'll talk more about that on the other
side of this break, but we've got some college football
week zero to react to, the latest in the Mark
Mitchell eligibility news and bites there, and then much more
(14:48):
on the way. An update on the Lions story, too,
in Indiana. I love this update.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Ryan might have been right.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
He called it. We'll take a break and be right
back here on the KSR Pre-Show.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Welcome back.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It is the KSR Pre-Show live on a Monday and
the final day of August as we are in football season,
the unofficial start of the college football season this weekend
with Week Zero. Today we are at the Generosity Classic
with Commonwealth Causes at Champions Golf Club here outside of
Lexington in Nicholasville where Shannon There are prizes if you
(15:21):
get a hole-in-one today.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Well, you wouldn't have to worry about that with me.
No chance. The only way I could get a hole-in-one
is if I was cheating like that one guy we
were talking about a couple of weeks ago. He got
up at like 5 o'clock that morning, went out there,
dropped his ball in the hole, and then faked a call, right?
And that way nobody saw the swing. Then when they
approached the green, they look in there like, where's my
(15:45):
ball at? Oh, somehow it miraculously ended up in the cup.
Hole in one, right? Oh, there it is. And the
fake reaction.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
You know, I wasn't here when you guys talked about
that story, so I didn't get to discuss it.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Oh, you didn't see it?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
No, I saw it, but I just wasn't on the
show to give my thoughts on it. But yeah, he's like, okay,
I'm going to go ahead and hit on the next
tee box.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Right. Like, I don't know if he had to go
use the bathroom or something. No, he faked an emergency
call with his grandma. Okay, that's what it was. He
had to get away from everybody so he could have
a private call. And then he's like, oh, I just hit.
He used his sick... I do air quotes. Sick granny
to fake a hole-in-one. What kind of monster are you
(16:24):
if you do that?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
And then the cameras get him at 5 in the
morning going on the course to put that ball in there.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Oh, that is just.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I mean, how does nobody go to that hole and
then see a ball in the cup? There's a couple
of things. Maybe I have to go back. Well, they
were the first ones. They were the first ones on it. Yeah,
he knew where they were starting.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
What a. What a meticulous, thought-out plan. It's called remeditate
it hole-in-one. That is going to ruin your reputation forever.
I don't know how you play golf with somebody like
that after that, even though I know a couple people
that tried to pull some fast ones in my day.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Shannon, Kentucky football starts on Saturday. It's going to be
a little bit of a different schedule, with Tuesday being
the day Will Stein does his press conferences.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
And Tuesday will be the day that we'll react to
it as well, because we won't be here Monday with
it being Labor Day. Oh, that's right. That's right.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
You're talking about next week as we have Monday off.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
And then Wednesday, the coaches show will now happen. So
that starts this week. Will Stein will have his first
coaches show on Wednesday. He's the one that wanted an
adjustment to that schedule. Youngstown State had a big win
on Thursday. 43-10, and CBS Sports now believes that Kentucky
is one of six SBS teams that could be upset
week one by an FCS team.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yeah, I saw that headline a couple of weeks ago.
I think that's clickbait. I mean, if we lose to
Youngstown State, we've got much bigger problems on our hands.
Forget about Alabama in week two. So I think Kentucky
will take care of business against Youngstown State. But, you know,
do I think it's going to be a blowout?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I think Youngstown State can make a little bit of
a game of it, at least for the first half.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
They are the number nine ranked FCS team in the
preseason polls. Their dual threat quarterback, Bo Brungard, won the
2025 Walton Payton Award for best player in the FCS
last year. He had five touchdowns on Thursday. But that's
not Brad White's defense. He always used to struggle with
those dual threat quarterbacks. Now you're going to get Jay Bateman.
(18:14):
You're going to get the Will Stein era kicking off.
A lot of excitement, obviously. The wife wanted to buy
season tickets the other day. I said, again, we're on
a budget right now. She wanted to buy season tickets
and not go with you?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, I was like, I can't go to these games.
I mean, you're stuck doing the games. You're producing the
games in the studio. I literally cannot go to these games.
Did she forget that you produce the games? Well, she
loves to go to the big ones. So she's like,
she wants to go to the Florida game and maybe
even the Alabama game. And she wants to take you, right?
So that means you would have to call in sick.
I got a little tickle in my throat, but yet
you're on. You're at the game itself. I don't think
(18:45):
that's going to work for you.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
She's like, we can just sell them back and make
the money. I'm like, well, we need to worry about
some other stuff. But Kentucky plays Saturday. Week zero was
this weekend. Some highlights, Shannon. Elvis running out of the
tunnel with UNLV and Dan Mullen. Had to be one
of my highlights.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
You think that was a... Well, you know, we really
set the bar high here. What's your favorite thing about
week zero? We had Elvis run out with UNLV.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Well, you know, they were playing Memphis, so maybe a
shot right back at Memphis that I don't know if
Elvis would run up the tunnel with Memphis or UNLV,
but the impersonator was with Dan Mullin, and they ended
up losing that game.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Do you associate Elvis, though, with Vegas more or Memphis?
I don't know enough, honestly, about his past. Probably more
about Memphis. But he did all the Vegas shows. You
go to Vegas, there is literally an Elvis impersonator. that
will marry you. You and Marissa could have saved a
lot of money and just gone to an Elvis impersonator.
That's what we should have done. There you go. I mean, so,
(19:43):
I mean, I think Vegas, you know, I know that
Memphis is the home of Elvis Presley, but Vegas kind
of became his home, I feel like, you know, throughout
his career because he was just known for doing those
Vegas shows.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I could have afforded U.K. football season tickets if that
was the case, if we would have just got an
Elvis impersonator in Vegas. Bill Belichick got a big win
in upset.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Versus TCU in the first game. You know, I almost
bet that. I almost did. I was like, I'm not
betting on Bill Belichick. Why am I going to lose
my money over this? And I think the under came
through after, like, barely any points, if any, were scored
in that second half. Wasn't the final, like, 15 to 10? Yeah,
it was very low.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
But Bill Belichick, maybe a little bit of resurgence here
in U2. And then I also saw USC beat San
Jose State to a crowd of about 1,800 people.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Wow. Like, imagine playing at that nice Coliseum and then
nobody showing up.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
It's... It's a tough look. When does Akron play? That's
what I want to know. I'm excited to see Akron football.
I want to see this fan call the first drive.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
The most scrutinized first drive in college football, right?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Well, until they score. Then what? All right.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Then he needs to come back. Then they're like, okay,
what if that's the only touchdown they score that game?
Was that opening drive?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I'm just saying, like, there's a lot of pressure on
the offensive coordinator for Akron. I mean, if you as
a fan come in and call a scoring drive, first
drive of the game, of the season. And then you go,
all right, balls. And they're just run up the middle,
run up the middle. All right, offensive coordinator, your go.
Let's see what you got. And then they don't score.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Coaching controversy in Akron after the first drive. I cannot
wait for that. But I think that's coming up this weekend,
and you can bet on those games on draft.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
That's right. The wait is over. Football is here. DraftKings

Commonwealth Causes is proud to partner with Boone Brothers today.
Boone Brothers is a non-profit organization that partners with hunters
and farmers to feed hungry kids in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Hey, hunters. Hey, hunters.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
That's why we're at Champions Golf Course today. It's Shannon
the Dude and Billy Rutledge. We'll be right back here
on the KSR Pre-Show. Welcome back. It is the KSR
Pre-Show live at Champions Golf Course today for the Generosity
Classic with Commonwealth Causes where Mario is the first member of.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
The crew to join us this morning. Up and at it.
That's an upset right there. I thought he may be
stumbling in from a couple nights ago.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Is that No, he's all business on a Monday morning.
He's awake and ready to go. Getting some weird fantasy
football punishments.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
All right, let's hear them. What do we got? 502-265-6656.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Fantasy Draft Loser has their picture put up on a
billboard for a month with the caption, Cover Zero Fantasy
League Loser.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Well, that would be actually a really good advertisement for
the podcast. That's true. Listen to it. That would be great.
I mean, yeah. So the loser has to pay for
the billboard? See, that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I looked into getting a billboard for the pre-show at
one point.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
How much did we say it was? Like $ 5, 000? Yeah,
it was a couple thousand. Oh, a couple thousand. For
the month. You know, they did it for Big Z, right?
We're up to no good. Shout out to them. Come on, man.
A couple thousand dollars. I feel like we could get iHeart.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
A loser has to have their picture up there and
pay for it? That seems like a lot.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
And then there's another one here that said loser has
to get something waxed.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I like that. You do like that one. I think so.
Is that because you're not in the league? Yes. Of course.
I get to watch from afar. I don't want to
be a part of that, but I would gladly watch
somebody else get waxed if they were last place in
the league.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, but what if it's an eyebrow? I can't go
with only one eyebrow, Shane. I'm a serious person. Well,
don't fit his last. My shirt's tucked in right now.
You should have thought of that before you joined this league.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I guess so. And don't finish last if you don't
want that to happen. How are your pumpkins coming along, Shane? Oh, terrible.
You really, really, you got to take a shot at
my pumpkins. What's going on with the pumpkins? We're not
going to have any pumpkins to smash this October because,
you know, I went away for a week on a
vacation and I came back and it looked like a jungle.
Nobody maintained my garden. I thought my neighbor would maybe,
you know, know that I'm out of town and go
(24:39):
over there and help out with the pumpkins a little bit.
But no, I came back and it was just had
grass all growing into it. So. It kind of choked
out my pumpkins, and now I don't have any. It
sounds like you forgot about your children a little bit.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
You just left for vacation and left them with no babysitter.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yeah, I couldn't take my garden with me. So, yeah,
I came back, and it was... It was pretty much
done at that point. You just assumed your neighbor would
take care of it? Well, yeah. You just didn't have
a plan. You just really thought they'd be fine. I
thought they'd be fine, but apparently not. Pumpkins got to
be nurtured. You got to take care of them.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
It's a learning process. Last year, you were way too early.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
You jumped the gun. You were a little too excited.
But it was okay. But it worked. It worked. We
had pumpkins. We had too many pumpkins. We did. We did.
No pumpkins.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Now you neglected your pumpkins for a week, and now
we're not going to have any, which is really disappointing.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
It's all right. You can go to the store just
like everybody else and get yourself a pumpkin. That's what
I'm going to have to do. I'm going to have to.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
We do have an update on the lion that was
loose in Indiana.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, the 300-pound lioness was reported last week, and a cub.
The cub was like 100 pounds, according to the report,
up in Indiana. That's right.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Madison and Hancock County. The sheriff's office got a tip.
A witness saw a lioness and a cub. They broke
the drone out.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
A manhunt commenced over the next couple days. Think about
all the effort and money that was spent in trying
to find this lioness and her cub. You don't want
anybody getting hurt.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
No.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
No livestock getting ate. Well, the drone finds it's not
a lion. It's hogs. How do you confuse that? The
person who called this in, it was just based off
of one person's phone call saying, hey, we just saw
a lion go down the street with a cub. But,
I mean, what was that person smoking? How do you
(26:23):
confuse a lion for pigs?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Well, they have to live in Indiana, so I can
imagine they are maybe on some sort of substance.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
So is this just a prank, do you think, or
is this some old senile person that really thought legitimately
there was lions going down the road? Well, no matter
what it was, it got picked up. I mean, this
was the New York Post posting about it. It got
aggregated to all these websites. The Dr. Dave, right? Dr.
Dave had the lioness on the loose with the Cubs. So,
you know, maybe that goes to show we need, like journalists,
(26:53):
we need to vet some things a little bit more.
Before we go ahead and run with it. Yeah. So,
I mean, I guess now I can call up somebody
and say there's a leprechaun right out here at the
golf course. So I'm going to need two more people
to also tell me there's a leprechaun. Well, no. No,
I mean, now it's just like we were going to
report it on the New York Post. It's a fact.
There was a leprechaun out here running loose. Is that
(27:13):
indicative of the time that we live in?
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Where it's like we'd rather be first. Than accurate. Than accurate. Yes.
We'd rather be like... Is it like sensationalism? It's like
being in the moment than it is actually getting something right?
Maybe a little bit of both here. Well, it's fake news.
This was fake news. It was hogs out there. Who's
going to feed them hogs? Well, it's going to be
the Indiana police at this point after they found them. Shannon,
(27:37):
I need a fair or foul. on Andy Beshear wearing
skinny jeans at the Luce City game over the weekend.
Completely fair. Although the problem was he had the phone.
Does he have two phones there? Look at the phone
on each pocket because when you wear skinny jeans, it
outlines anything that might be in your pocket. So you
can clearly see the very defined shape of what looks
(27:58):
like a phone in each pocket. I looked it up
here so we can review. Okay. He's taking a picture. Oh,
look at that. He's got two phones.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
It's like his phone and his wallet have been both
placed into the.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Personal phone and his business phone. Oh, you think it's
two phones? Well, I mean, those pants are so tight,
it almost looks like he's got, like a football player,
like he's got pads underneath of his legs. Or underneath
of his... They're tight. He's definitely like... His pants, I mean.
There's no air circulation. No.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Within those pants. And you would know more than most, right?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Sure. Hey, if you can rock them, if you can
rock them, if you can pull it off, do it.
I'm all right with it.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
It does look like he's put his wallet in his
front pocket. left pocket and his phone in his right. Now,
why did you tweet that out with hashtag govern me, daddy?
I didn't think you would do that, Billy.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Why would you do such a thing? I thought we'd
forgotten that and now you brought it back. We've been
through that time. I don't need to bring that back.
Nobody needs to govern me. Do you want your governor
in skinny jeans? He's your governor, Billy. He's governor right now.
It's a jarring look.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I mean, if he put a fedora on, then he
could have performed for Alice Bluegown that night.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Possibly. Would you rather be in baggy jeans? Remember when
Obama went out to throw the first pitch out and
he had mom jeans on? I do.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Do you remember when Obama came out in a tan
suit and it became news and he got crushed?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
No.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
A tan suit. I have a tan suit. Well, an ode.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I had to go to this wedding with a camel.
An ode to the tan suit wedding. I remember he
wore a tan suit. People lost their mind.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
But, yeah, I don't know if I like my governor
in skinny jeans. I mean, maybe we can let him live.
What if he was wearing leather pants? Would that be better?
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah. Oh, you're okay with leather pants?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
So, if Andy Beshear or Governor in leather pants you're
good with, Andy Beshear or Governor in skinny jeans, you
don't like that?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
No, because not everybody has the confidence to wear those
leather pants. I mean, I would respect just how confident
you have to be to wear them. Skinny jeans, you know,
I see those.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
In high school. So you don't want them in skinny jeans,
but you're okay with... Andy Beshear coming out looking like
he belongs in Judas Priest. I am. You're okay with that? Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Are you okay with the Seahawks owner coming out and
saying that he's a big fan of the Steelers?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
No, that's weird. We talked about this a little bit
on Friday on KSR. That's okay. We didn't talk about
it on the pre-show. All right. It's a different show. No,
I thought that was weird. Like, if you're okay, you're
a billionaire, you... invested however many billions of dollars. Ten billion.
Ten billion dollars. I think it was ten billion. Okay, whatever.
It's still in the billions. To buy, it doesn't matter.
(30:23):
But you spend that much money to buy a team,
and then you say, well, I still love my Pittsburgh Steelers.
I'm still a Steelers fan. 9.6 billion, by the way.
9.6 billion dollars. That's a little wild. Yeah, you can't
say that. Now I'm wondering, like, okay, when we play
the Steelers, who are you pulling for? I mean... You've
got $ 10 billion in this team, and you're going to
(30:44):
be pulling for the Steelers? Well, there's also the detail
that he won't be running the team.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
His wife will be. He immediately handed over the reins
to his wife. What a gift.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Not even a fan enough to have the operations for
the franchise. I'm just going to hand it to my wife. And, oh, yeah,
by the way, I'm a big Steeler. What did your
husband give you? A pair of socks? What did your
husband give you? The football team? The Seattle Seahawks?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
They just won the Super Bowl. Oh, you want a
football team? I'll buy you the best football team. How
about the one that won the Super Bowl this last year? Well,
speaking of the NFL, I.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Have seen more and more details about the fake 49ers
player who stole millions of dollars. 26 victims, over $ 1. 3 million.
We did talk about this a little bit on the pre-show, Shannon,
but just seeing some of the videos that he's posted
and some of the interactions he's had, how far he
went to kind of fake this entire, not kind of,
(31:39):
To fake this entire lifestyle, it's been incredible.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Anybody that believes that, though, I mean, that's incredible. You
wouldn't believe that there is somebody that's in the NFL
and needs your money. I know there's some guys in
college that are making more than the NFL players, but
come on, these guys are at minimal making a couple
million dollars a year, right? So you're telling me that
there's somebody that would reach out to you as an
NFL player, want to date you, and have you pay
(32:05):
for things, and you believe it?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Well, there is a darker side to this where a
lot of former professional athletes go broke, right?
Speaker 2 (32:11):
But he's a current player, right? According to him, he's
a current player.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
And don't you sniff that out when he doesn't have
any college tape or, like, any highlights to show you?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Never underestimate the stupidity of some people. It's incredible.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Well, I just, like, you know, yeah, show me, like,
maybe some stats that you had in a game or
something like that. In the video he sends back, it's
him in a 49ers helmet on the beach, like, running routes.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah. It's hard for me to have sympathy for somebody
that ignorant. I find it hard to have sympathy for
somebody like that. There's a lot of people looking for love, though.
And when you throw in that factor, I can understand
why people are fooled. But why you wire money to
him is a whole other step that people take. I
(32:56):
can feel bad for the grandma that gets scammed out
of money. Somebody calls and says, hey, you... You owe
$ 200 on a parking ticket. I feel bad for that person.
I don't feel bad for the person that's young and
gets a random DM from Tom Cruise saying that he
needs $ 10, 000 and you send it to him.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Or your bank fraud protection services call you.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
They almost got me on that one. Me too. I've
had some close run-ins with that too. And I go,
wait a minute, why do you need my Venmo? Well,
they're like, they have your info, right? Like, they've got
some pretty important information. No, they did, yeah. And he
sounded official. But then when he got to the Venmo part,
I'm like, yeah. He goes, how much do you have
in your Venmo? I go, let me see here. It
(33:41):
says $ 0. And then click, he immediately hung up. No,
it's like, go to the bank.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Don't tell the bank tellers what you're doing because we
think they're compromised.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Again, though.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Like, would you not have a red flag? That would
be the red flag for you. That's definitely when you
start realizing what's going on. But speaking of the NFL,
it was the saddest day in the NFL, not Black
Monday where all the coaches get fired, but when everybody
gets cut before the season starts. You go to these
roster cuts. I don't have all of them in front
of me, but here are some highlights. Shia's Pete was
(34:11):
waved by the Cowboys, so he will not be on
the team that will make everybody brothers.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
I mean, he made such an impact. He got the
game day ball, then you cut the guy.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
That's sad. Didn't seem right. Shiaz. Shiaz. What did I say? Shiaz? Shiaz.
Matt's already corrected you.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Shiaz.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Shiaz. Hopefully he finds a home. Will Levis waved the Titans.
The Will Levis experience is over.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Matt, you got retweeted by Freezing Cold Takes the other
day with your Will Levis takes.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Did he? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
He was like, I draft Will Levis over Bryce Young
is kind of what was the tweet was framed. But,
you know, sad to see, you know, hometown team for
him in Nashville, a lot of Kentucky fans around the area.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
It just didn't work out. Yeah, I was hoping it would, but,
you know, I mean, he made some money while he
was there. He made a little bit, right? So what
does he do next? Does he go on to, like,
the Canadian Football League or maybe the UFL? Yeah, it
seems like he's determined. Like, maybe the— Go play for
the Louisville Kings? Go play for the Louisville Kings.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
You know, Benny Snell had that idea, too. He didn't
last very long, but maybe Will can find— another shot.
We know he's confident enough in doing it. Dane Key
was waved by the Broncos. Ryan was sad about that.
So was Josh Kattus with Cincinnati. Barryon Brown made the
roster with the Saints, though, so he goes to LSU
and now finds a home with New Orleans, wishing him
the best of luck.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
It is here, man. Football season starts up this weekend.
I'm looking forward to it, really excited, and, uh, Yeah,
sad that some of those guys didn't make the team,
but they'll end up somewhere if they want to continue
their football career.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
That's right, and hopefully Pete can find some brothers elsewhere.
We need to take a break.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
859-280-2287.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
We'll take some of your phone calls and wrap things
up live here at the Commonwealth Causes Generosity Classic at
Champions Golf Course.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Welcome back. It is the KSR pre-show. Billy and the dude,
all the guys starting.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
To trickle in now. The gang's all here just reminiscing
about the weekend. Excited for the first segment of KSR
coming up next. We're live here at the Generosity Classic
at Champions Golf Course outside of Lexington where more than
a dozen sponsors have joined the Classic this year. Just
showing how powerful it can be when local businesses and
organizations come together to give back and invest in their community.
(36:20):
Supporting Boone's Brothers, the non-profit organization today. um shan we
got a couple calls we need to get to i
do want to congratulate the volleyball team two sweeps over

Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Versus Penn State. That's right.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
We'll have football on Saturday and then that on Sunday.
Nashville is going to rename their airport after Dolly Parker.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
I saw that, yeah. Do you like that move? Of course.
Because it's going.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
To cost $ 10 million to make the change, $ 10 million
to make the change, and some people say that that
money could be used elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Well, come on now. I mean, Dolly gave back so much.
I mean, is there anybody that gave back more than Dolly?
I mean, I've struggled to find another name, so I
think that if anybody deserves to have that honor, it's her.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Completely agree. And then that's a huge legacy thing, right? Like,
people will be flying into that airport and always thinking
of Dolly.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
I also.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
stapleton do a uh rendition of i will always love
you over the weekend and his show is new york

of the best national anthems i think of all time
i know there's some really good ones up there but
he he was great doing that and he'll be right
here in about three weeks for bourbon and beyond fest
so i'm sure he'll probably do some uh tributes to
dolly i would say at that show as well.

of those uh there so let's take some calls before
the show's over rick who's up first mark anthony is
up first hey good morning mark Hey, Shannon.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Hey, Billy. So, Shannon, that was not your 1,800-pound pumpkin

It was not, unfortunately. I'm jealous of that. I'm in
pumpkin envy. Oh, well.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Hey, Billy, congratulations on joining the ranks of us married men, man.
Thank you, Mark. It's about time. It's about time, buddy.
I'm happy for you. Listen, fellas, this Akron play-calling thing,
I think it's being way blown out of proportion. Here's
what I think is going to happen. I think the
goober that won the contest is going to get on field.
(38:47):
They're going to say, this is the offensive coordinator. You
stay close to him. And when it comes time to
call play, the OC is going to hand him the
headset and say, key down your microphone and say this,
25 smash left X go Y cross.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
But do you have the confidence that this random fan
would have the ability to repeat what he just heard?
Because he asked me to repeat what you just said.
I couldn't do it either. I couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
There's your trouble. There's your trouble. But I don't think
he's going to actually come up with a play to call.
I think he's going to be given something to say.
And if he says that, he is technically called to play. Okay,
so that's the way I see it happening.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
I would imagine that it's going to be scripted. You know,
you're going to have the first however many calls or
plays scripted, and then they're just going to know the number. Well,
it's been.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Reported that he's meeting with the head coach like the
day before or the week before.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
To plan out that first drive. So I don't think
he's just going to be able to do whatever he wants.
We've got Matt Jones here.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
They'll teach him the terminology and how to say it.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
You know.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Bless his heart, you know.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
Thank you, Mark.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Well, first of all, how are you, sir?
Speaker 4 (39:57):
You know I had the guy on my show Friday.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Oh, yeah, you did.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Yeah, what'd he say?
Speaker 4 (40:03):
Well, we talked– we're going to– it's one of the
topics on KSR, but we talked a lot about it.
He's a very dorky man, and I was trying to
get him to be excited.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
He was like, well, I'm just going to do whatever
the coaches just say. But no. I was like, no. No, dude.
You have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Speaker 4 (40:19):
His name was Martin, and I was like, stop being
Martin and be Marty.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
So we talked him into it.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Matthew, it takes one to know one, don't it?
Speaker 2 (40:30):
All right, are you watching?
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Bye, Dad.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
But you know what? If you wanted me to get
excited about, you know, one drive for Akron football this season,
you got me. Like, I'll be tuned in to watch
to see what happens. Do you think any other teams
do this promotion? I mean, they should.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Because people were buying season tickets for Akron all across
the country. But, I mean, if all the small schools
do that, then it's, I mean... You can't watch them all, right?
Speaker 2 (40:53):
But the fact that they're the first team to do it,
I am interested enough to find it on the box,
where's Akron football, and watch the first drive.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
But, like, if everybody buys season tickets to get in
the drawing, is nobody going to show up to the
games because everybody's going to be out of state trying
to win this?
Speaker 2 (41:07):
But here's the thing. Here's the thing. If they score
on the first drive, I'm going to be watching the
rest of the game because I want to see, can
the real offensive coordinator do as good as the fans?
Speaker 1 (41:15):
See, that's what I'm worried about. He scores that first drive.
They don't score the rest of the game.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
And then there's a... It puts a lot of unnecessary
pressure on the actual offensive coordinator. It does.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
It really does.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
Like, you know, I'm getting all this heat. For what?
I didn't ask for this. Yeah. We'll do defense next time. Exactly.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
Let me keep my job secure. Exactly. Tell me about
DraftKings before we get out of here.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
Hey, yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
DraftKings. You know, it's all here, man. Week zero is
behind us. And now the actual football season kicks off
this weekend. We've got an NFL game on Wednesday. Did
you know that?
Speaker 3 (41:47):
No.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
No.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
First NFL game of the year is Wednesday. I don't
think it is, but you go ahead. Okay, well, maybe
I'm wrong. Well, maybe I dreamt that. You know what? Thursday, then.
How about that? Is it Thursday? No. Okay, well, whatever.
Promo code KSR. Spend five. Get $ 200. Maybe it is.
I saw it earlier this morning, Billy. I thought it
was after Labor Day, though. I don't think so. Well,
facts are optional. All right, whatever. Thank you. Goodbye, everybody.
(42:11):

A big thank you to Cornbread Hemp for presenting the
(00:38):
show over the last month or so. Today we are
live on location here with Commonwealth Causes at the Generosity Classic.
We are at Champions Golf Course in Nicholasville is I
think where we're at. And hosted by Commonwealth Causes, the
event was created to raise awareness and support for Kentucky's
nonprofits through meaningful community experiences centered around generosity and impact.
(01:03):
This year, Commonwealth Causes is proud to partner with Boone's
Brothers as the recipient of the first ever Generosity Classic.
My very generous co-host, Shannon the Dude, is alongside with me.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Good morning, Shannon. Good morning. I've seen a lot of
you this weekend, right? Friday night, we went out to
the Kentucky State Fair, tore it up out there, had
a good time. Then Saturday night, we were over at
Matt's for his housewarming party. Had a good time over there.
I didn't see you yesterday, but I guess we saw
each other and hung out a lot more than what
(01:34):
we normally would on a weekend, which is normally zero.
That's right. Saw you two extra times over the weekend.
You know, we do the.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Show on teams every day, so it's nice not only
to be in person on a weekday to do the
show together, but also hang out on the weekend like
we're actual friends, which we are. But, I mean, let's
go through it, because we had a hell of a weekend,
and we've got to get through maybe some certain highlights
of the weekend, or lowlights. But let's start with Friday, because... One,
(02:00):
we got a lot of football to recap over the weekend.
Week zero was here. We're just a few days away
from Kentucky football versus Youngstown State. We'll get all to
that and taking your phone calls. But we did have
a good time Friday.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Looked everywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Did not find the ladder game.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I didn't see that. I didn't see it. Is that
a thing of the past now? They get rid of it?
I was ready to conquer it.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I had watched YouTube videos for a couple hours in
preparation for Friday night, and then I did not see
it at all.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah. But I saw like the other traditional games that
you would have. The pop-a-shot was there. The thing where
you throw the little wiffle ball and you've got to
bank it off the little wooden backboard that's kind of
tilted at a 90-degree angle. And it looks so easy.
You just throw the little wiffle ball off the thing,
you bank it off there, and it falls into the basket.
I don't know. I'm starting to think that's an impossible
game because I don't ever see anybody win that one,
(02:47):
that game.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
One of the seven games that the wife lost at
in a matter of about 25, 30 minutes, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
So I was going to make a TikTok, like how
to lose $ 70. Oh, dude, $ 70. And you came back
with this little bitty stuffed animal. Looked like something you
could get at the dollar store for, oh, I don't know,
maybe a dollar. And you guys spent $ 70 on it.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Well, like, look, she was on it, right? Like, you know,
she hit the rim three times out of three in
the basketball game. But, you know, those rims are a
little bit different than the normal one. We played throw
the softball and break the beer bottle game. You get
three throws.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
It's tougher than it looks.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Misses the first one, breaks a bottle on the second one,
and then the third one, she hits the bottle dead on,
and that thing doesn't break.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Rigged. There was the other thing, too. I don't know
if they had that, but I remember it where there
was three milk bottles. or not like traditional milk jugs
like we have now, but like the old school milk jugs.
The glass ones? Yeah, yeah. You just got to knock
those three over. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
We tried that one. There were blocks, and you had
to knock all the blocks off the table before you
got any points, and, of course, it's much harder than
you think. No ladder game, though, as I was prepared for, but, dude,
I had a good time with you. It was a
little crowded there.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It was. I got to tell you, man, when you
get older, carnival rides hit older. When you get older,
they hit a little different. You know what I mean? Like,
I used to love, as a kid, getting on the Scrambler.
You know, the Scrambler goes, and it was one of
my favorite rides. I rode it one time on Friday night,
(04:18):
and I was like, man, this hits a lot differently.
Then I rode it a second time, and I go,
you know what? I think I'm done. Like, I had
to ruin my night. My stomach was in knots. My
head was spinning. And I'm like, you know what? I
guess it just hits differently when you get older because
I can't do the things I used to do when
it comes to those rides.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
You were also eating street tacos in between lives.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Well, that's true. May have had a Shane and the
Dudes brew before that. Turns out, you know, you put
a little beer in your belly and then you put
a street taco in there and then some deep fried
Oreos and you get on the Tilt-A-Whirl. It doesn't work
out too well, which is interesting, you know, because Louder
Than Life and Bourbon and Beyond Fest are both coming up. And,
of course, people go to those festivals. They like to
(04:59):
have fun. They like to drink and eat. But they got, like,
all the rides at Kentucky Kingdom open. What could possibly
go wrong when you got a bunch of drunk people,
you know, with bellies full of food? Kentucky Kingdom rides
are going to be open during? Yes, they were last year, too. So,
you know, if you want to take a break from
Pantera and Anthrax. and go jump on the teacups, you
(05:20):
can do that. It's all open. That's not a bad idea. Officially,
you're going to be out there all day. You mean
that's not a bad idea? It sounds like a horrible idea. No,
I think it's a great idea. If you're drunk and
you're getting out of the teacup, I don't think it's
a good idea.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Well, I found a pork chop sandwich, even though our
Kentucky pork producers weren't out there.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I found one.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Somehow, someway, I'm going to keep the tradition alive. You know,
I was there to see you introduce hairball, and I
missed it.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
You missed it. You got preoccupied. I did. I got
distracted by all the food. So you were over there eating. Okay,
I understand.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
We were trying all the different things, deep-fried Oreos, pork
chop sandwich, cheese fries.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Which no one liked the cheese fries. You got to
get the greater taters. Didn't get those. Those little shavings
of taters, and they put cheese on them, and they're
greater taters. That's the best kind of. But your hairball
announcement was just like, I didn't realize how quick it was. Well, no,
I'm not up there to do a monologue. It's like
60 seconds. Yeah, I'm just up there to welcome the crowd. Hey, everybody,
(06:15):
I'm Shannon the Dude. Great weather we got here. Here's hairball. Yeah,
I mean, that's pretty much it, right? That's what they
had me come out there and do, just go out
there and bring out the band. But they were great, hairball,
we saw all of them. And, you know, another state
fair in the books. Another state fair in the books.
So here we are.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I'm glad we were able to do it, even though
we did not do a show out there. Had a
good time with you.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And then we turned around the next day, and you
made the hour and ten-minute drive up to Matt's house
for his housewarming party Saturday night, which was a really
fun time, dude.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
It was bougie, man. Like, I've never been to a
house party that had its own bartender. Oh, yeah. Like,
that's sitting back there, you know, has got all the
selections of drinks that you can get. And I was like, wow, okay,
this is a next-level thing. You know, when you come
to my house, I'm usually the bartender, Billy. I go
back there behind the bar and say, what do you want? Well,
it matched the ambiance, right?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Not only is there a fountain in the front yard,
you go to the back and there's fireplaces with water
coming out of the fireplaces into the pool. even though
only one of the three fireplaces was on.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Where there was water coming out of the fireplace?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, you didn't see the rocks that were on fire
and then the fountain that was right under that.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Coming into it? No, how did I miss that? Maybe
that was later in the night. Are you sure that
didn't get lit later in the night? Because I left early. Well,
that's true. It was daylight. Well, look, when you've got
an hour and a half drive, for me, it's like
I've got to go in and hang out for a
little bit, but I can't stay all night. I've got
to get back at some point. And I made a
lot of trips to Lexington over the weekend. Yeah. So,
(07:45):
you know, I was back here yesterday. You had a remote.
Doing a WKQQ remote. That's right. Yeah, we were selling
meat out of a truck. So, you know. Selling meat
out of a truck. I had to get back home
to get some rest so I could come back and
sell some meat the next day. Well, that's an interesting
remote idea. Maybe we should do that here. Talk about
pork chops. I could have gotten you a pork chop
right there. I would have loved a pork chop. I
could have gotten you, what was it?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
20 pork chops for $ 40.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
That's about how much I spent for the one pork
chop sandwich I bought at the station.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
No, but I could have gotten you 20 of them
for that. I think it was like $ 17 for the
one sandwich at the station. Wow, see, I could have
saved you a ton of money. So, yeah, that was
a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
You left a little early, Shannon, so you missed even
more of the fun.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Later that night. Are we going to talk about this?
Maybe we should let him talk about it. Are we
going to talk about it? Should we allude to what happened?
Or should we keep that off the air? I don't
even know. Let's just say Mario had a good time.
We say Mario had a good time.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
If there are any details that Mario would like to give,
we'll let him give it.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Maybe we'll throw him on the mic when he comes on.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Maybe the best thing that ever happened to Tumamosa Billy
was the introduction of Margarita Mario.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I'll tell you, when I was in the kitchen going
around to grab something for dinner that we had there
that was catered, by the way. That's another thing. Poojie
is catered dinner. I looked over at Mario, and he's
just laughing. I'm like, what are you laughing about? And
I was like, dude, are you okay? Like, oh, yeah.
I'm like, all right, what time did you get here, Mario?
(09:10):
5 o'clock. Mario, it's 6 o'clock. You've only been here
an hour. Slow down, my man. I had a great
time with my guy, Mario. I really did. Made sure
he got home safe.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Good.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And we had a good time Saturday night. christening Matt's party,
and maybe we'll talk to Mario a little bit later.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, Mario christened it for sure. He sure did.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
The one time I didn't get to see you this
weekend was Sunday when we had the Cover Zero Fantasy
Football Draft.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
That was over the weekend, too? Yeah, that was Sunday.
That was so much happening over the weekend. Yeah, that
was at Midway. Everybody was to bring a dish. Yeah,
what was your dish?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Well, I was going to get like a bean dip,
so I go into Kroger kind of last minute looking
for dips, and I pass by the Tostitos that have
a big NFL.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Logo on it. Oh, that's appropriate.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I'm a proponent of the Shield, so I ended up
getting two Tostitos bags, and he gave me two for free,
so I came with four bags.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Of Tostitos. Look at you. You're a smart shopper. I'm
surprised you didn't just take the leftovers from Matt's party
the night before and just say, here you go, guys.
I got roosters here ready.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Or the can of green beans that you brought to
the Thanksgiving potluck. Screwed up and only got one thing
of salsa, but there was so much food already there that, like,
my food was barely touched. A lot of chips, not
much salsa. That's right. But the egg rolls were really good.
Worth Ryan's spot in the league. We had a great time.
(10:28):
I do a lot of fantasy leagues, but not a
ton in person. So for us to get together, a
big group like that, 14 people, It was a really
good time, and I'm looking forward to the Cover Zero.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
League this year.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Good.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Now, are you one of these people that stay really
focused on your team once you get the fantasy team going?
Who's the commissioner, by the way?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
It's kind of Paul. Me and Paul are kind of
the ones deciding. Oh, you're joint commissioners.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Well, Paul's running most of it. Paul, okay.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I make some important decisions. I'm an executive here. But
the problem is... We did not set the punishment for
last place.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
No, no, no. It has to be established.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Matt is saying that we are going to decide the
punishment a few weeks into the season.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
No, no. This is what I'm worried about. When Matt starts...
Who's the commissioner? Who's the commissioner? It's me and Paul. Okay,
then you guys don't... Matt doesn't get to say then
if he's not the commissioner, right?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Well, it is the Cover Zero League, so I think
he feels entitled to have some say in what the
punishment might be.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, okay. That's foul. You got to establish... What the
punishment is before the first game. You can't go four
weeks in and let's see how bad my team's doing.
Then we'll make the punishment.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I agree because he's going to start 0-4 and then
there won't be a punishment.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
The leader in the clubhouse right now is the loser
has to take the ACT. So, like, we're going to
keep workshopping it. But that is like a five, six-hour
commitment if you end up being last place in the
league and then having to do that.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Well, look, I mean, if I'm taking the ACT, right?
A-C-T or S-A-T? S-A-T. Okay, I didn't know which one.
Whichever one. I took the A-C-T. Did you take the S-A-T?
I took the A-C-T. I did, too. I didn't do
very well on it. I got bored about halfway through
it and just started filling in bubbles. Well, the S-A-T,
I think, was more reading.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Right? Yeah. And then A-C-T, I don't know. So that's
what I would do, though. If I were the last
place team and I got punished and had to take
the A-C-T, just fill in the bubbles real quick and
walk out. Well, you had to get a minimum score,
I think, is what we were workshopping. Or we'll make
you take it again, I guess. I'll just fill it
out again. I'll be done in 30 seconds. You can't
just go C's down the list on your Scantron. Okay,
(12:24):
I'll go A, B, C, D. Oh, my God. I
could not. D, C, B, A. That sounds like.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
A, B, C, D. It does sound like a terrible punishment.
I'd rather be in a Waffle House for 20 minutes.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
A Waffle House is not a punishment. A Waffle House
is a reward. And getting to eat Waffles. Because Waffle
Houses are great. Why would you not want to be there?
I mean, you get all the people watching you would
possibly want. You get to eat Waffles and take... It
was the 24-hour waffle challenge, right? So you get to
take an hour off your punishment every time you eat
a waffle. That's right. Which means, you know, if you're
really hungry, how many waffles do you think you could eat? Well,
(12:54):
I could think I could probably get out of there
in 12 hours, right? You think you could eat 12 waffles?
Over 12 hours, though? Well, it's 24 hours, right? Well,
it is. But, like, if I ate it in 12,
then essentially I could get out. So you're telling me, okay,
you're telling me you think you could eat for 12
straight hours a waffle per hour. That would be tough.
Probably not.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Probably a little slower pace than that. Yeah. I think
you would maybe believe that at first. Then you eat
that first waffle. It's like Ryan trying to eat those donuts. Oh, yeah,
I can eat. What was it? How many donuts do
you have to eat?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
20?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
No, it wasn't 20. It was a dozen. A dozen
donuts in 15 minutes or 20 minutes.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
It's funny we talk about Waffle House. I saw something
randomly this weekend that FEMA decides if they're going to
go into a disaster area or not based on if
the Waffle.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
House is open. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's been a long-known fact. Oh,
that is a long-known fact.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
We've talked about that on the KSR. I love that.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I love that because, like, if Waffle House is open,
it's not that big of a deal. Like, if you're
in a beach community and the Waffle House is open,
not that big of a deal. So, good weekend with you, dude.
I had a good time.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
And looking forward to an exciting week ahead. We're going
to have some live shows this week, including our Friday
show in Lebanon with Cornbread Hemp. That's God's country over there.
Maybe I'll throw a hay bale for you while we're
at the farm. That's right. But today we are here
at Champions Golf Course in Nicholasville. One of the probably,
if not the nicest course in the Lexington area, dude.
This is kind of the crown jewel.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
This is where we have our golf scramble for KSR
a lot of times, right? Haven't we done it here before?
I think we have done it here before.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I think it's It's been a while since we have
done it recently, but we have done it here in
the past. Today we're here with Commonwealth Causes hosting the
Generosity Classic. We'll talk more about that on the other
side of this break, but we've got some college football
week zero to react to, the latest in the Mark
Mitchell eligibility news and bites there, and then much more
(14:48):
on the way. An update on the Lions story, too,
in Indiana. I love this update.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Ryan might have been right.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
He called it. We'll take a break and be right
back here on the KSR Pre-Show.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Welcome back.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It is the KSR Pre-Show live on a Monday and
the final day of August as we are in football season,
the unofficial start of the college football season this weekend
with Week Zero. Today we are at the Generosity Classic
with Commonwealth Causes at Champions Golf Club here outside of
Lexington in Nicholasville where Shannon There are prizes if you
(15:21):
get a hole-in-one today.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Well, you wouldn't have to worry about that with me.
No chance. The only way I could get a hole-in-one
is if I was cheating like that one guy we
were talking about a couple of weeks ago. He got
up at like 5 o'clock that morning, went out there,
dropped his ball in the hole, and then faked a call, right?
And that way nobody saw the swing. Then when they
approached the green, they look in there like, where's my
(15:45):
ball at? Oh, somehow it miraculously ended up in the cup.
Hole in one, right? Oh, there it is. And the
fake reaction.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
You know, I wasn't here when you guys talked about
that story, so I didn't get to discuss it.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Oh, you didn't see it?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
No, I saw it, but I just wasn't on the
show to give my thoughts on it. But yeah, he's like, okay,
I'm going to go ahead and hit on the next
tee box.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Right. Like, I don't know if he had to go
use the bathroom or something. No, he faked an emergency
call with his grandma. Okay, that's what it was. He
had to get away from everybody so he could have
a private call. And then he's like, oh, I just hit.
He used his sick... I do air quotes. Sick granny
to fake a hole-in-one. What kind of monster are you
(16:24):
if you do that?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
And then the cameras get him at 5 in the
morning going on the course to put that ball in there.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Oh, that is just.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I mean, how does nobody go to that hole and
then see a ball in the cup? There's a couple
of things. Maybe I have to go back. Well, they
were the first ones. They were the first ones on it. Yeah,
he knew where they were starting.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
What a. What a meticulous, thought-out plan. It's called remeditate
it hole-in-one. That is going to ruin your reputation forever.
I don't know how you play golf with somebody like
that after that, even though I know a couple people
that tried to pull some fast ones in my day.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Shannon, Kentucky football starts on Saturday. It's going to be
a little bit of a different schedule, with Tuesday being
the day Will Stein does his press conferences.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
And Tuesday will be the day that we'll react to
it as well, because we won't be here Monday with
it being Labor Day. Oh, that's right. That's right.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
You're talking about next week as we have Monday off.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
And then Wednesday, the coaches show will now happen. So
that starts this week. Will Stein will have his first
coaches show on Wednesday. He's the one that wanted an
adjustment to that schedule. Youngstown State had a big win
on Thursday. 43-10, and CBS Sports now believes that Kentucky
is one of six SBS teams that could be upset
week one by an FCS team.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yeah, I saw that headline a couple of weeks ago.
I think that's clickbait. I mean, if we lose to
Youngstown State, we've got much bigger problems on our hands.
Forget about Alabama in week two. So I think Kentucky
will take care of business against Youngstown State. But, you know,
do I think it's going to be a blowout?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I think Youngstown State can make a little bit of
a game of it, at least for the first half.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
They are the number nine ranked FCS team in the
preseason polls. Their dual threat quarterback, Bo Brungard, won the
2025 Walton Payton Award for best player in the FCS
last year. He had five touchdowns on Thursday. But that's
not Brad White's defense. He always used to struggle with
those dual threat quarterbacks. Now you're going to get Jay Bateman.
(18:14):
You're going to get the Will Stein era kicking off.
A lot of excitement, obviously. The wife wanted to buy
season tickets the other day. I said, again, we're on
a budget right now. She wanted to buy season tickets
and not go with you?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, I was like, I can't go to these games.
I mean, you're stuck doing the games. You're producing the
games in the studio. I literally cannot go to these games.
Did she forget that you produce the games? Well, she
loves to go to the big ones. So she's like,
she wants to go to the Florida game and maybe
even the Alabama game. And she wants to take you, right?
So that means you would have to call in sick.
I got a little tickle in my throat, but yet
you're on. You're at the game itself. I don't think
(18:45):
that's going to work for you.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
She's like, we can just sell them back and make
the money. I'm like, well, we need to worry about
some other stuff. But Kentucky plays Saturday. Week zero was
this weekend. Some highlights, Shannon. Elvis running out of the
tunnel with UNLV and Dan Mullen. Had to be one
of my highlights.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
You think that was a... Well, you know, we really
set the bar high here. What's your favorite thing about
week zero? We had Elvis run out with UNLV.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Well, you know, they were playing Memphis, so maybe a
shot right back at Memphis that I don't know if
Elvis would run up the tunnel with Memphis or UNLV,
but the impersonator was with Dan Mullin, and they ended
up losing that game.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Do you associate Elvis, though, with Vegas more or Memphis?
I don't know enough, honestly, about his past. Probably more
about Memphis. But he did all the Vegas shows. You
go to Vegas, there is literally an Elvis impersonator. that
will marry you. You and Marissa could have saved a
lot of money and just gone to an Elvis impersonator.
That's what we should have done. There you go. I mean, so,
(19:43):
I mean, I think Vegas, you know, I know that
Memphis is the home of Elvis Presley, but Vegas kind
of became his home, I feel like, you know, throughout
his career because he was just known for doing those
Vegas shows.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I could have afforded U.K. football season tickets if that
was the case, if we would have just got an
Elvis impersonator in Vegas. Bill Belichick got a big win
in upset.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Versus TCU in the first game. You know, I almost
bet that. I almost did. I was like, I'm not
betting on Bill Belichick. Why am I going to lose
my money over this? And I think the under came
through after, like, barely any points, if any, were scored
in that second half. Wasn't the final, like, 15 to 10? Yeah,
it was very low.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
But Bill Belichick, maybe a little bit of resurgence here
in U2. And then I also saw USC beat San
Jose State to a crowd of about 1,800 people.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Wow. Like, imagine playing at that nice Coliseum and then
nobody showing up.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
It's... It's a tough look. When does Akron play? That's
what I want to know. I'm excited to see Akron football.
I want to see this fan call the first drive.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
The most scrutinized first drive in college football, right?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Well, until they score. Then what? All right.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Then he needs to come back. Then they're like, okay,
what if that's the only touchdown they score that game?
Was that opening drive?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I'm just saying, like, there's a lot of pressure on
the offensive coordinator for Akron. I mean, if you as
a fan come in and call a scoring drive, first
drive of the game, of the season. And then you go,
all right, balls. And they're just run up the middle,
run up the middle. All right, offensive coordinator, your go.
Let's see what you got. And then they don't score.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Coaching controversy in Akron after the first drive. I cannot
wait for that. But I think that's coming up this weekend,
and you can bet on those games on draft.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
That's right. The wait is over. Football is here. DraftKings

Commonwealth Causes is proud to partner with Boone Brothers today.
Boone Brothers is a non-profit organization that partners with hunters
and farmers to feed hungry kids in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Hey, hunters. Hey, hunters.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
That's why we're at Champions Golf Course today. It's Shannon
the Dude and Billy Rutledge. We'll be right back here
on the KSR Pre-Show. Welcome back. It is the KSR
Pre-Show live at Champions Golf Course today for the Generosity
Classic with Commonwealth Causes where Mario is the first member of.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
The crew to join us this morning. Up and at it.
That's an upset right there. I thought he may be
stumbling in from a couple nights ago.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Is that No, he's all business on a Monday morning.
He's awake and ready to go. Getting some weird fantasy
football punishments.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
All right, let's hear them. What do we got? 502-265-6656.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Fantasy Draft Loser has their picture put up on a
billboard for a month with the caption, Cover Zero Fantasy
League Loser.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Well, that would be actually a really good advertisement for
the podcast. That's true. Listen to it. That would be great.
I mean, yeah. So the loser has to pay for
the billboard? See, that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I looked into getting a billboard for the pre-show at
one point.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
How much did we say it was? Like $ 5, 000? Yeah,
it was a couple thousand. Oh, a couple thousand. For
the month. You know, they did it for Big Z, right?
We're up to no good. Shout out to them. Come on, man.
A couple thousand dollars. I feel like we could get iHeart.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
A loser has to have their picture up there and
pay for it? That seems like a lot.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
And then there's another one here that said loser has
to get something waxed.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I like that. You do like that one. I think so.
Is that because you're not in the league? Yes. Of course.
I get to watch from afar. I don't want to
be a part of that, but I would gladly watch
somebody else get waxed if they were last place in
the league.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, but what if it's an eyebrow? I can't go
with only one eyebrow, Shane. I'm a serious person. Well,
don't fit his last. My shirt's tucked in right now.
You should have thought of that before you joined this league.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I guess so. And don't finish last if you don't
want that to happen. How are your pumpkins coming along, Shane? Oh, terrible.
You really, really, you got to take a shot at
my pumpkins. What's going on with the pumpkins? We're not
going to have any pumpkins to smash this October because,
you know, I went away for a week on a
vacation and I came back and it looked like a jungle.
Nobody maintained my garden. I thought my neighbor would maybe,
you know, know that I'm out of town and go
(24:39):
over there and help out with the pumpkins a little bit.
But no, I came back and it was just had
grass all growing into it. So. It kind of choked
out my pumpkins, and now I don't have any. It
sounds like you forgot about your children a little bit.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
You just left for vacation and left them with no babysitter.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yeah, I couldn't take my garden with me. So, yeah,
I came back, and it was... It was pretty much
done at that point. You just assumed your neighbor would
take care of it? Well, yeah. You just didn't have
a plan. You just really thought they'd be fine. I
thought they'd be fine, but apparently not. Pumpkins got to
be nurtured. You got to take care of them.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
It's a learning process. Last year, you were way too early.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
You jumped the gun. You were a little too excited.
But it was okay. But it worked. It worked. We
had pumpkins. We had too many pumpkins. We did. We did.
No pumpkins.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Now you neglected your pumpkins for a week, and now
we're not going to have any, which is really disappointing.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
It's all right. You can go to the store just
like everybody else and get yourself a pumpkin. That's what
I'm going to have to do. I'm going to have to.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
We do have an update on the lion that was
loose in Indiana.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, the 300-pound lioness was reported last week, and a cub.
The cub was like 100 pounds, according to the report,
up in Indiana. That's right.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Madison and Hancock County. The sheriff's office got a tip.
A witness saw a lioness and a cub. They broke
the drone out.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
A manhunt commenced over the next couple days. Think about
all the effort and money that was spent in trying
to find this lioness and her cub. You don't want
anybody getting hurt.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
No.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
No livestock getting ate. Well, the drone finds it's not
a lion. It's hogs. How do you confuse that? The
person who called this in, it was just based off
of one person's phone call saying, hey, we just saw
a lion go down the street with a cub. But,
I mean, what was that person smoking? How do you
(26:23):
confuse a lion for pigs?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Well, they have to live in Indiana, so I can
imagine they are maybe on some sort of substance.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
So is this just a prank, do you think, or
is this some old senile person that really thought legitimately
there was lions going down the road? Well, no matter
what it was, it got picked up. I mean, this
was the New York Post posting about it. It got
aggregated to all these websites. The Dr. Dave, right? Dr.
Dave had the lioness on the loose with the Cubs. So,
you know, maybe that goes to show we need, like journalists,
(26:53):
we need to vet some things a little bit more.
Before we go ahead and run with it. Yeah. So,
I mean, I guess now I can call up somebody
and say there's a leprechaun right out here at the
golf course. So I'm going to need two more people
to also tell me there's a leprechaun. Well, no. No,
I mean, now it's just like we were going to
report it on the New York Post. It's a fact.
There was a leprechaun out here running loose. Is that
(27:13):
indicative of the time that we live in?
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Where it's like we'd rather be first. Than accurate. Than accurate. Yes.
We'd rather be like... Is it like sensationalism? It's like
being in the moment than it is actually getting something right?
Maybe a little bit of both here. Well, it's fake news.
This was fake news. It was hogs out there. Who's
going to feed them hogs? Well, it's going to be
the Indiana police at this point after they found them. Shannon,
(27:37):
I need a fair or foul. on Andy Beshear wearing
skinny jeans at the Luce City game over the weekend.
Completely fair. Although the problem was he had the phone.
Does he have two phones there? Look at the phone
on each pocket because when you wear skinny jeans, it
outlines anything that might be in your pocket. So you
can clearly see the very defined shape of what looks
(27:58):
like a phone in each pocket. I looked it up
here so we can review. Okay. He's taking a picture. Oh,
look at that. He's got two phones.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
It's like his phone and his wallet have been both
placed into the.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Personal phone and his business phone. Oh, you think it's
two phones? Well, I mean, those pants are so tight,
it almost looks like he's got, like a football player,
like he's got pads underneath of his legs. Or underneath
of his... They're tight. He's definitely like... His pants, I mean.
There's no air circulation. No.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Within those pants. And you would know more than most, right?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Sure. Hey, if you can rock them, if you can
rock them, if you can pull it off, do it.
I'm all right with it.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
It does look like he's put his wallet in his
front pocket. left pocket and his phone in his right. Now,
why did you tweet that out with hashtag govern me, daddy?
I didn't think you would do that, Billy.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Why would you do such a thing? I thought we'd
forgotten that and now you brought it back. We've been
through that time. I don't need to bring that back.
Nobody needs to govern me. Do you want your governor
in skinny jeans? He's your governor, Billy. He's governor right now.
It's a jarring look.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I mean, if he put a fedora on, then he
could have performed for Alice Bluegown that night.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Possibly. Would you rather be in baggy jeans? Remember when
Obama went out to throw the first pitch out and
he had mom jeans on? I do.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Do you remember when Obama came out in a tan
suit and it became news and he got crushed?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
No.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
A tan suit. I have a tan suit. Well, an ode.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I had to go to this wedding with a camel.
An ode to the tan suit wedding. I remember he
wore a tan suit. People lost their mind.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
But, yeah, I don't know if I like my governor
in skinny jeans. I mean, maybe we can let him live.
What if he was wearing leather pants? Would that be better?
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah. Oh, you're okay with leather pants?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
So, if Andy Beshear or Governor in leather pants you're
good with, Andy Beshear or Governor in skinny jeans, you
don't like that?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
No, because not everybody has the confidence to wear those
leather pants. I mean, I would respect just how confident
you have to be to wear them. Skinny jeans, you know,
I see those.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
In high school. So you don't want them in skinny jeans,
but you're okay with... Andy Beshear coming out looking like
he belongs in Judas Priest. I am. You're okay with that? Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Are you okay with the Seahawks owner coming out and
saying that he's a big fan of the Steelers?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
No, that's weird. We talked about this a little bit
on Friday on KSR. That's okay. We didn't talk about
it on the pre-show. All right. It's a different show. No,
I thought that was weird. Like, if you're okay, you're
a billionaire, you... invested however many billions of dollars. Ten billion.
Ten billion dollars. I think it was ten billion. Okay, whatever.
It's still in the billions. To buy, it doesn't matter.
(30:23):
But you spend that much money to buy a team,
and then you say, well, I still love my Pittsburgh Steelers.
I'm still a Steelers fan. 9.6 billion, by the way.
9.6 billion dollars. That's a little wild. Yeah, you can't
say that. Now I'm wondering, like, okay, when we play
the Steelers, who are you pulling for? I mean... You've
got $ 10 billion in this team, and you're going to
(30:44):
be pulling for the Steelers? Well, there's also the detail
that he won't be running the team.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
His wife will be. He immediately handed over the reins
to his wife. What a gift.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Not even a fan enough to have the operations for
the franchise. I'm just going to hand it to my wife. And, oh, yeah,
by the way, I'm a big Steeler. What did your
husband give you? A pair of socks? What did your
husband give you? The football team? The Seattle Seahawks?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
They just won the Super Bowl. Oh, you want a
football team? I'll buy you the best football team. How
about the one that won the Super Bowl this last year? Well,
speaking of the NFL, I.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Have seen more and more details about the fake 49ers
player who stole millions of dollars. 26 victims, over $ 1. 3 million.
We did talk about this a little bit on the pre-show, Shannon,
but just seeing some of the videos that he's posted
and some of the interactions he's had, how far he
went to kind of fake this entire, not kind of,
(31:39):
To fake this entire lifestyle, it's been incredible.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Anybody that believes that, though, I mean, that's incredible. You
wouldn't believe that there is somebody that's in the NFL
and needs your money. I know there's some guys in
college that are making more than the NFL players, but
come on, these guys are at minimal making a couple
million dollars a year, right? So you're telling me that
there's somebody that would reach out to you as an
NFL player, want to date you, and have you pay
(32:05):
for things, and you believe it?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Well, there is a darker side to this where a
lot of former professional athletes go broke, right?
Speaker 2 (32:11):
But he's a current player, right? According to him, he's
a current player.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
And don't you sniff that out when he doesn't have
any college tape or, like, any highlights to show you?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Never underestimate the stupidity of some people. It's incredible.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Well, I just, like, you know, yeah, show me, like,
maybe some stats that you had in a game or
something like that. In the video he sends back, it's
him in a 49ers helmet on the beach, like, running routes.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah. It's hard for me to have sympathy for somebody
that ignorant. I find it hard to have sympathy for
somebody like that. There's a lot of people looking for love, though.
And when you throw in that factor, I can understand
why people are fooled. But why you wire money to
him is a whole other step that people take. I
(32:56):
can feel bad for the grandma that gets scammed out
of money. Somebody calls and says, hey, you... You owe
$ 200 on a parking ticket. I feel bad for that person.
I don't feel bad for the person that's young and
gets a random DM from Tom Cruise saying that he
needs $ 10, 000 and you send it to him.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Or your bank fraud protection services call you.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
They almost got me on that one. Me too. I've
had some close run-ins with that too. And I go,
wait a minute, why do you need my Venmo? Well,
they're like, they have your info, right? Like, they've got
some pretty important information. No, they did, yeah. And he
sounded official. But then when he got to the Venmo part,
I'm like, yeah. He goes, how much do you have
in your Venmo? I go, let me see here. It
(33:41):
says $ 0. And then click, he immediately hung up. No,
it's like, go to the bank.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Don't tell the bank tellers what you're doing because we
think they're compromised.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Again, though.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Like, would you not have a red flag? That would
be the red flag for you. That's definitely when you
start realizing what's going on. But speaking of the NFL,
it was the saddest day in the NFL, not Black
Monday where all the coaches get fired, but when everybody
gets cut before the season starts. You go to these
roster cuts. I don't have all of them in front
of me, but here are some highlights. Shia's Pete was
(34:11):
waved by the Cowboys, so he will not be on
the team that will make everybody brothers.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
I mean, he made such an impact. He got the
game day ball, then you cut the guy.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
That's sad. Didn't seem right. Shiaz. Shiaz. What did I say? Shiaz? Shiaz.
Matt's already corrected you.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Shiaz.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Shiaz. Hopefully he finds a home. Will Levis waved the Titans.
The Will Levis experience is over.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Matt, you got retweeted by Freezing Cold Takes the other
day with your Will Levis takes.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Did he? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
He was like, I draft Will Levis over Bryce Young
is kind of what was the tweet was framed. But,
you know, sad to see, you know, hometown team for
him in Nashville, a lot of Kentucky fans around the area.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
It just didn't work out. Yeah, I was hoping it would, but,
you know, I mean, he made some money while he
was there. He made a little bit, right? So what
does he do next? Does he go on to, like,
the Canadian Football League or maybe the UFL? Yeah, it
seems like he's determined. Like, maybe the— Go play for
the Louisville Kings? Go play for the Louisville Kings.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
You know, Benny Snell had that idea, too. He didn't
last very long, but maybe Will can find— another shot.
We know he's confident enough in doing it. Dane Key
was waved by the Broncos. Ryan was sad about that.
So was Josh Kattus with Cincinnati. Barryon Brown made the
roster with the Saints, though, so he goes to LSU
and now finds a home with New Orleans, wishing him
the best of luck.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
It is here, man. Football season starts up this weekend.
I'm looking forward to it, really excited, and, uh, Yeah,
sad that some of those guys didn't make the team,
but they'll end up somewhere if they want to continue
their football career.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
That's right, and hopefully Pete can find some brothers elsewhere.
We need to take a break.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
859-280-2287.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
We'll take some of your phone calls and wrap things
up live here at the Commonwealth Causes Generosity Classic at
Champions Golf Course.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Welcome back. It is the KSR pre-show. Billy and the dude,
all the guys starting.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
To trickle in now. The gang's all here just reminiscing
about the weekend. Excited for the first segment of KSR
coming up next. We're live here at the Generosity Classic
at Champions Golf Course outside of Lexington where more than
a dozen sponsors have joined the Classic this year. Just
showing how powerful it can be when local businesses and
organizations come together to give back and invest in their community.
(36:20):
Supporting Boone's Brothers, the non-profit organization today. um shan we
got a couple calls we need to get to i
do want to congratulate the volleyball team two sweeps over
the weekend their home opener versus utah state on friday

historic memorial coliseum and a good weekend for unbelievable yeah
man 500 wins congratulations to coach skinner on that and
We talked about this upcoming schedule that they've got. Man,
they are taking on all comers. That's right. This is
going to be a fun, exciting volleyball season to watch.
Two games this week, UCLA on Thursday, and Sunday is
(37:06):
the Wrigley Field matchup.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Versus Penn State. That's right.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
We'll have football on Saturday and then that on Sunday.
Nashville is going to rename their airport after Dolly Parker.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
I saw that, yeah. Do you like that move? Of course.
Because it's going.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
To cost $ 10 million to make the change, $ 10 million
to make the change, and some people say that that
money could be used elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Well, come on now. I mean, Dolly gave back so much.
I mean, is there anybody that gave back more than Dolly?
I mean, I've struggled to find another name, so I
think that if anybody deserves to have that honor, it's her.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Completely agree. And then that's a huge legacy thing, right? Like,
people will be flying into that airport and always thinking
of Dolly.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
I also.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
stapleton do a uh rendition of i will always love
you over the weekend and his show is new york
it was beautiful yeah it really is he's got one
of the best national anthems i think of all time
i know there's some really good ones up there but
he he was great doing that and he'll be right
here in about three weeks for bourbon and beyond fest
so i'm sure he'll probably do some uh tributes to
dolly i would say at that show as well.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
So probably a few yeah we'll probably hear a few
of those uh there so let's take some calls before
the show's over rick who's up first mark anthony is
up first hey good morning mark Hey, Shannon.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Hey, Billy. So, Shannon, that was not your 1,800-pound pumpkin
at the fair then.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
It was not, unfortunately. I'm jealous of that. I'm in
pumpkin envy. Oh, well.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Hey, Billy, congratulations on joining the ranks of us married men, man.
Thank you, Mark. It's about time. It's about time, buddy.
I'm happy for you. Listen, fellas, this Akron play-calling thing,
I think it's being way blown out of proportion. Here's
what I think is going to happen. I think the
goober that won the contest is going to get on field.
(38:47):
They're going to say, this is the offensive coordinator. You
stay close to him. And when it comes time to
call play, the OC is going to hand him the
headset and say, key down your microphone and say this,
25 smash left X go Y cross.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
But do you have the confidence that this random fan
would have the ability to repeat what he just heard?
Because he asked me to repeat what you just said.
I couldn't do it either. I couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
There's your trouble. There's your trouble. But I don't think
he's going to actually come up with a play to call.
I think he's going to be given something to say.
And if he says that, he is technically called to play. Okay,
so that's the way I see it happening.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
I would imagine that it's going to be scripted. You know,
you're going to have the first however many calls or
plays scripted, and then they're just going to know the number. Well,
it's been.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Reported that he's meeting with the head coach like the
day before or the week before.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
To plan out that first drive. So I don't think
he's just going to be able to do whatever he wants.
We've got Matt Jones here.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
They'll teach him the terminology and how to say it.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
You know.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Bless his heart, you know.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
Thank you, Mark.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Well, first of all, how are you, sir?
Speaker 4 (39:57):
You know I had the guy on my show Friday.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Oh, yeah, you did.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Yeah, what'd he say?
Speaker 4 (40:03):
Well, we talked– we're going to– it's one of the
topics on KSR, but we talked a lot about it.
He's a very dorky man, and I was trying to
get him to be excited.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
He was like, well, I'm just going to do whatever
the coaches just say. But no. I was like, no. No, dude.
You have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Speaker 4 (40:19):
His name was Martin, and I was like, stop being
Martin and be Marty.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
So we talked him into it.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Matthew, it takes one to know one, don't it?
Speaker 2 (40:30):
All right, are you watching?
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Bye, Dad.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
But you know what? If you wanted me to get
excited about, you know, one drive for Akron football this season,
you got me. Like, I'll be tuned in to watch
to see what happens. Do you think any other teams
do this promotion? I mean, they should.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Because people were buying season tickets for Akron all across
the country. But, I mean, if all the small schools
do that, then it's, I mean... You can't watch them all, right?
Speaker 2 (40:53):
But the fact that they're the first team to do it,
I am interested enough to find it on the box,
where's Akron football, and watch the first drive.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
But, like, if everybody buys season tickets to get in
the drawing, is nobody going to show up to the
games because everybody's going to be out of state trying
to win this?
Speaker 2 (41:07):
But here's the thing. Here's the thing. If they score
on the first drive, I'm going to be watching the
rest of the game because I want to see, can
the real offensive coordinator do as good as the fans?
Speaker 1 (41:15):
See, that's what I'm worried about. He scores that first drive.
They don't score the rest of the game.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
And then there's a... It puts a lot of unnecessary
pressure on the actual offensive coordinator. It does.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
It really does.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
Like, you know, I'm getting all this heat. For what?
I didn't ask for this. Yeah. We'll do defense next time. Exactly.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
Let me keep my job secure. Exactly. Tell me about
DraftKings before we get out of here.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
Hey, yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
DraftKings. You know, it's all here, man. Week zero is
behind us. And now the actual football season kicks off
this weekend. We've got an NFL game on Wednesday. Did
you know that?
Speaker 3 (41:47):
No.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
No.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
First NFL game of the year is Wednesday. I don't
think it is, but you go ahead. Okay, well, maybe
I'm wrong. Well, maybe I dreamt that. You know what? Thursday, then.
How about that? Is it Thursday? No. Okay, well, whatever.
Promo code KSR. Spend five. Get $ 200. Maybe it is.
I saw it earlier this morning, Billy. I thought it
was after Labor Day, though. I don't think so. Well,
facts are optional. All right, whatever. Thank you. Goodbye, everybody.
(42:11):
Commonwealth causes. KSR is next. We'll see you later.
