Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody. It is the KSR Pre Show. It's Thursday,
May the eighth. I'm Shannon the Dude to be enjoined
by Billy rut Ledge and give us a call on
the Clark's Puppetshop phone line at eight five nine two
eight oh twenty two eighty seven be our Whiskey Thief
call of the day. You can also send us a
text at five O two two six five six six
five six. The KSR Pre Show is being brought to
(00:22):
you by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington. Sitting here
in Louisville at the studios at four Street Live, looking
at Billy r Sports who is in the studio downtown
in Lexington. And uh, Billy, and I was sitting here
talking about his garage. So he's going to be having
coming on just a few weeks from now. And I've
seen that garage of yours, Billy, you've sent that picture
(00:44):
to me before. I think you need to have a
garage sell just so you can, you know, have the
ability to move around in that thing, keeping your life
savings in there.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, Unfortunately I haven't made a ton of progress on
that garage yet. I sent you the video with the
preference of if I didn't clean my garage, you could
release it to the public. Please don't do that. I've
still got to have not worked on the garage. I've
come to the realization slowly that I am a bit
of a hoarder.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Shannon.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I wouldn't say, you put me on what the Lifestyle
Channel or TLC and you do a whole episode about me.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
But I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
But like old mementos, old clothes, things that I have
an attachment to, I've got a tough time getting rid of.
So when the fiances told me we have to have
a yard sale, no debate about it. We've got to
get rid of some of this stuff. I'm I'm finding
myself emotionally attached to stupid things.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Isn't it strange? Like I'm like that a little bit.
I used to be a lot worse. But now that
I've gotten older, I've, you know, I guess, gotten better
at giving up things that I've had stupid sentimental value
for him, Like why do I have a sentimental value
to this Bellarman baseball shirt? Oh yeah, but that was
the good old days when I was on the team
and I yeah, man, the blood, sweat and tears that
this shirt had on it, you know, throughout the years,
(01:57):
I can't throw away my Bellarman baseball practice shirt. But
then eventually I'm like, all right, it's already it's bigger
than what I would wear right now too, so I'm
just gonna throw it away. So I've gotten a little
bit better about it. You though, on the other hand,
what are you hanging on to, like oat mil cookie wrappers? Oh? No,
it's empty coke cans. I mean, you know, Matt Jones
seems to have some sort of affinity for empty diet
(02:17):
coke cans and McDonald's cups that he just, you know, keeps.
I don't know if it's for sentimental value or you know,
his lack of ability to clean up after himself, but probably.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
A little of both there with Matt. But it's not
like I've got trash everywhere. I do have these twinkies
still in the studio from I think Christmas of twenty
twenty two. Its sentimental to you, they are they are
It's my game twinkies.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I gotta have these twinkies for a game day, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
But it's like I've got this like metal Jack Daniel's
whiskey sign I picked up at Goodwill and hung in
my dorm room for two years.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I can't get rid of that, Shannon, but I probably should.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Like I'm never gonna hang that thing up again, and
it doesn't have any value to me now, much like
if I'm going to use it in the future. But
I'm like you, I think about college, I think about
the good old days, so I can't get rid of it.
But I've never had a yard cell before with my things.
I think my parents did it when I was a kid,
and you know, I didn't mind getting rid of their stuff, Shannon.
But when it's my stuff that people are going to
(03:14):
be rummaging through, I think I'm going to have a
little bit of an.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Issue with this.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
When I was a kid, we always had a yard
sell at my grandparents every summer.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Every summer you had a yard summer, and it was actually.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It was kind of fun, actually, and you know, I'd
put out the bike or you know, something small, you know,
and make a few bucks off of it. But here's
the thing, though, Billy, if you have like a sentimental
attachment to it, you gotta be willing to let it go.
Like when somebody's interested in your old shoes and you
got twenty five dollars on them, you got to be
willing to part with them for fifty cents because people
are going to bargain you down at these yard cells.
(03:45):
I'm just going to let you know. And they get
out there early. If you're a yard seller, you know
you don't go out yard selling at nine o'clock in
the morning because all the stuff has already been picked
over by then. You got to get out there like
right when it starts. Some of them are out there
at like seven seves thirty in the morning, already going
through you know, the pick of the yard cell.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, and I've seen the bargaining.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Is that like? Is that?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Does that have to exist? Can I are my prices?
Can they be final when when it when it comes
to these products? Or are they just gonna talk me
down every time because we talked about this, I'm bad
at negotiating.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Well, then you're gonna lose it all.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
But they're gonna come in and say fifty cents for
your sentimental case.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Okay, but look at it like this. They're giving you
fifty cents not much, okay, a dollar whatever it is.
But they're helping helping you pay to get rid of
the stuff in your garage, so you're you got to
look at it like it's a win win, even if
you make a few bucks. The bigger picture thing here
is that you are getting rid of all the crap
in your garage and at the end of the weekend,
you're gonna have a nice garage that's clean, with empty
(04:45):
space where you can actually walk around it like you're
supposed to be able to. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, we're taking a big haulover to like Goodwill, you know,
maybe like clothes and things like that. We're gonna give
away a lot of stuff like that. But there is
just some randomness in that garage that it's got to go.
But it's you know, it is a breaking point. I
see the hoarders people like the TV show, like I mentioned,
and that's like, that's like you can't walk through the
living room, like the kitchen is just a cesspool of
(05:09):
disgusting and and the fridge has got food that's been
expired for six months.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
So well that you you righties twisted The twinkies have
been expired for over a year.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Twinkies don't expire.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
They they will last longer than us, Shannon, they'll last
longer than AI. They'll still be twinkies around when AI
is running all the radio shows around. So if we
have the yard sale, I'll let you I'll let you know,
so you guys can come rummage through my things.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Cause I don't want your junk. But come on updated,
keep me updated. I want to before and after a
picture of your garage and.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
My old shoes. Yeah, I'll let you know.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
We still have no pope. I think that's one of
the big topics of the world, right I smoke. I
got I get up this morning to turn on my
local news and try to, you know, see what's going
on with the Joe Creeson situation, which we'll get to
in just a minute. But it wasn't even on. They
had the national news on because they're talking about Okay,
we're still waiting on a new pope to be announced.
I didn't know yesterday, Billy. We learned on KSR there's
(06:03):
a Pope power rankings where you've got all the different popes,
the odds on him. You can actually bet on who's
going to become the next Pope. My pope though that
I would like to elect this this fifty nine year
old uh named what was it Pizza Bala?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I don't know the names of the pope. I think
you'll have to fill me in.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Well, I think it was Pizza Bala. I could be
mispronouncing his name, but I mispronounced a lot of names
on this show anyway, though, I'm just saying, if we
get a fifty nine year old pope, why would you
not elect? Now? Look, I know he may not be
experienced like some of the other popes out there, but
why not get a younger pope? That way, we've got
more longevity. You know, we don't need to be doing
the conclave thing every few years because we're electing popes
(06:43):
that are ninety five years old. Right, how about we
get a younger pope and then, in theory, you know,
if he lives to be let's say eighty, we get
another twenty one years before we have to do this again.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I think that's some good reasoning, Shannon. I just want
to make sure you don't think you're going to get
pizza every time this guy speaks like. It's not like
he's going to be given out. Domin knows if the
Pizza cardinal gets elected to be pope.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
But you know, this is an interesting process.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
It's heightened even more if you watch the movie Conclave,
which I did a couple of weeks ago. You know,
I was looking up some story about it, or listening
to Terry Miners I think later talk about it. And
did you know that this process one year or I
guess back in the day took three years before they
were able to.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Decide a pope.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
So in the twelfth twelfth century, the Conclave took three years,
over a thousand days for them to finally agree on
a pope.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
There's no way that happens now, right.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I mean they're locked off from the world, they can't
have cell phones, they can't talk to anybody.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Can you imagine going through that process for three years,
not alone in one week?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I can't. I was watching some of the National Analysis
and one of the ladies that was on there speaking
said that, you know when they when they break for lunch,
that's kind of like a moment to where you could
have some of the guys, you know, maybe persuading others
to vote their way. So a little politics. Yeah, there's
a lot of politic and that goes on at this lunch.
(08:02):
So whenever that lunch is scheduled. You know, maybe there'll
be some shift at votes, but we'll keep you we'll
keep you updated on that. Yeah, his name is Peer,
Pierre Batista, Pizza Bala.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Okay, all right, will count me in the camp rooting
for Pizza Bala. And we know in this world, if
there is something going on, people will find a way
to gamble on it. I learned that when we learned
that the old men are setting lines at the high
School Championship Boys Basketball State Tournament, Shannon, They're they're always
going to bet on it if it's possible. Are you
watching the live stream of the chimney to see if
(08:35):
the smoke is going to come out white today?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I might be later, I don't know. I'm a busy guy.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
You're gonna tune into the street maybe, like for it
really is nothing going on today, maybe.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
For a few minutes a little bit later on. But
I mean we're talking like the big I guess sports
story of the day, and it's, you know, something that
came out yesterday during KSR. It's that the Kentucky Louisville
basketball game has been scheduled for early November on a
Tuesday night. It's November eleventh. And look, maybe it's just
(09:05):
me set my ways, but I like this game to be,
first of all, on a Saturday. I know they've played
this game before, like on a Wednesday night and a
Tuesday night. I like the game to be on a Saturday.
To me, it has that big game feel when it's
on a Saturday. But then not only that, to be
early in the year. On November eleventh, Billy, we still
got three more Kentucky football games after the U of
(09:26):
L uk basketball game this year, just to put a
little perspective on how early they're playing this the earliest
they've ever had it in the rivalry. Are you going
to join me in just about everybody else that I've
heard on this conversation that you don't like it being
scheduled this early in the year, or can you make
a case that you like it being scheduled early?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Well, look, I'm trying to find positives in this. I'm
trying to be somebody that can bring you a different perspective,
and I think that is you know, one of my
favorite parts of the football rivalry was when the game
was the first game of the season. It was like
a whole summer of lead up, right, even though we
weren't doing the KSR pre show.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Back then, you know you could.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Talk about when in the dog days of summer you
could talk about the highly anticipated Kentucky Louisville matchup to
start the year. But Shannon's starting it so early in
the beginning of the basketball year. We're gonna be right
in the middle of football. Like you said, Kentucky's still
gonna have three games to go. They're gonna play the
basketball rivalry game versus Louisville before the football game, so
(10:24):
like we're gonna have plenty to talk about before that
game comes up. So that doesn't really apply, right because
like in the summer, nothing's going on and you can
talk about it being the first game of the year basketball.
I feel like we're gonna be so focused on other
things and then the Louisville game's gonna be here. Now
it's gonna be a probably a top ten matchup, which
is fun. You're not gonna know how good either team is,
(10:44):
and so it should be a highly anticipated matchup like always.
But Shannon, I hate the fact it's on a Tuesday.
I do, and I completely agree with you. I mean,
this is one of if not the best rivalry in
college basketball, and for it to get relegated to a
Tuesday one week after the season starts, it's a disservice
to what the rivalry game means to the sport, I think,
(11:06):
And it's a shame. It's a shame that we might
not see Jaden Quainton's at his best. It's a shame
that Kentucky, who's won fourteen of the last sixteen matchups
against the Louisville Cardinals, are gonna have to do it
on a date that's not around Christmas. You know, it
was always such a great Christmas present to get the
beat down over Louisville. So there's a lot of things
I don't like about it. I even tried to find
(11:27):
the positives in it. But overall, I think that you know,
this seems to help Louisville more than it does Kentucky didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Don't you think just for what that you think you
could catch Kentucky not not ptarm like Bami. Louisvill's in
the same boat. I just don't like it for either team.
I don't know that it benefits one team or the other.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I just don't Well, Kentucky doesn't has to play Louisville
before they even play in the Champions Classic. So I mean,
like normally Kentucky has played some real marquee opponents before
they take on Louisville. Louisville, I mean it is going
to do this really around the same time frame with Kentucky,
so they're gonna both be coming in with a lot
of unknowns. But you know, I don't know, it's only
the third time ever they've played in November, so it's
(12:07):
not like we've seen this very often. But it just
seems like, you know, I guess the basketball game is
normally at a time where there's college football playoffs going
on and people are normally distracted in late December. But Shannon,
it feels like nobody's going to be watching if it's
going to be on a Tuesday night when there's other
things going.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
So if I'm looking for, like, Okay, let me try
to have a rebuttal to my own argument for why
it should be on a Saturday. If you just brought
the Champions Classic, if you look at that the Kentucky
Duke game last year was on a Tuesday, right, they
play that Champions Classic game on a Tuesday. Sure, But
I don't know. Man, for some reason, it feels right
to be in December on a Saturday, or even if
(12:47):
it's not in December, if you want to, you know,
do the thing that Memphis and Tennessee did several years ago.
You play it, you know, on a Saturday in February.
I'm fine with that. I just don't like it being
on a Tuesday because, for whatever reason to me, if
Phil is like a throwaway game now, you may look
at the TV situation and go, well, this is the
best spot you could get it on ESPN, you know,
(13:09):
and it's gonna get more views that way. I get it.
At the end of the day, it all comes down
to the almighty dollar and where they think that they
can get the most bang for their buck. But I
feel like, you know, a Saturday in December, like on
a like a CBS game, is where I want this
game to be. But I don't know. Maybe maybe there's
somebody out there that could give a better argument than
(13:30):
that on why it should be on a Tuesday in
early November. And if so eight five nine two, eight
h twenty two eighty seven at Shannon the Doudan and
at Billy R Sports.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Well, well you know, the Champions Classic is an event, right,
You've got four teams there. You know, Kentucky game usually
isn't until nine thirty ten o'clock, so people can travel
and plan to go to that Kentucky Louisville. Man, this
state shuts down to a degree when those two teams play.
I mean, I've got fond memories of driving on the
Interstate on a Saturday listening to Tom Leach, but hardly
(13:59):
any other cars being on the road, just because people
are out at the bar, or I've gathered around with
friends to watch the game. Houses Divided Shannon are always
stopping what they're doing. Now we got to come after
a workday and doing on a Tuesday night. It just
doesn't feel the same. But that is a good rebuttal
that the Champions Classic is on a Tuesday as well.
But it just does seem a little different. I mean,
(14:20):
we want to give this game all that it's due, right,
and you know, it feels like we're just kind of
throwing it in there early on in the year, at
this point where you can't even look back at the
game very much, right, I mean by March, you're a
completely different team, So you know, it's not much of
a litmus test of how the season might go, but nevertheless,
(14:41):
it'll be another opportunity for Kentucky to beat down on
their little brother.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
So I'm assuming it's just seven o'clock start time. I'm right,
they're not gonna put this at nine o'clock on a
Tuesday night, right, They're not gonna do that. I don't
see a start time listed anywhere, but it's got to
be a seven o'clock game.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I would think, Yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I do like how Kentucky is going to be playing
Purdue in that exhibition game, So you.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Too, I was going to ask you about that, like
your thoughts on it, because you know, in years past,
we would get you know, either like a really small
like a Kentucky Wesleyan or something like that, or if
you go even farther back back when I was a kid,
it was the Lithuanian national team or Athletes in Action.
You know, you get those type of teams. So I
think it's really cool that you know you're gonna be
able to play a good college team in an exhibition game.
(15:25):
I think that'll bring a lot of eyes on it,
even though it's not going to count. I think our
fans will still be into that Kentucky Perdue game.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I think Kentucky played the local YMCA team even back
in the day, So I mean, there have been a
murder's row of opponents on exhibition games. But this comes
with the new rule change that Division one teams can
now play Division one teams and exhibition games. So why
not schedule a high ranking team like Purdue because that
you know, the winner loss doesn't matter, but you know,
(15:52):
growing and gaining that experience can can be invaluable. So
you know, let's keep that going. Maybe use exhibition games
for a spot to bring in some more Kentucky schools.
If you don't want to do you know, home and homes,
maybe just continue to bring in maybe even some of
the smaller schools. But I like the fact that they're
going to test themselves against a good opponent before they
start the year. This UKUFL matchup is in theory one
(16:13):
week after the college basketball season starts, so they'll probably
play maybe one regular season game, maybe two, even before Louisville.
But I mean, I guess there's a chance it's the
first game of the year, and that would just be bizarre.
Here's another old school name that they played once in
an exhibition what's that Marathon.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Oil, the gas company.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I don't know, I just remember that name, Marathon Oil.
They played them back in nineteen seventy six, and that
was a team that would be on a lot of
SEC schools exhibition games. Marathon Oil, the athletes and Action
and Marathon Oil. So I'm just saying I think we've
done a lot better in the exhibition games, going from
the Lithuanian national team athletes and Action Marathon Oil to
(16:53):
now play and Purdue.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So that's the suits playing pick up basketball after work
every day. They think they can take on Kentucky. Now
you said Lithuania was another team.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Oh yeah, yeah, Zacky, I feel like they used to
play them, like back in the nineties we're talking, they
used to play them. I feel like almost.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Every Lithuane Yeah, look them. Yeah, the Lamello ball thing. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
So uh, anyway, we'll take your calls if you got,
you know, a different opinion, you actually like the game
being played that early eight five, nine, two eighth, twenty
two eighty seven, we'll hear it, but we probably won't
agree with you, but we'll take your calls anyway. Coming up,
next year on the KSR pre show Welcome Back. It
is the KSR Pre Show playing some three Doors Down
right here, Billy three Doors Down in Creed. We're supposed
(17:33):
to be playing at rupp Arena later this year. The
singer from Three Doors Down just announced yesterday Billy though,
that he's been diagnosed with stage four kidney cancer. So
they're having, oh my god, cancel the entire tour. Brad
Arnold man one of the nicest guys you could ever
meet in the world of rock and roll. I've had
the chance to interview a lot of you know, musicians
(17:53):
over the years, and he's one of the nicest guys ever.
So we're pulling for him and hopefully he can he
can beat it and get back out there and continue
to play music and do what he loves. But just
a crazy announcement that came yesterday kind of out of nowhere,
so that will affect obviously the the show at Riena
no longer happening.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah, so you no hologram No, we mean no, they're
not gonna do not yet.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
No, at least you.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Know, I mean, twenty years from now, somebody's gonna miss
a show. They'll just replace him. But thoughts and prayers
to him and his family. That is a terrible announcement,
and we'll be thinking about him. Hopefully he can pull
through well.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Speaking of cancer, we're gonna be at the Kentucky's Skin
Cancer Center tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
What a transition. You're right about that. Are you going
to get a facial tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yes? I am, Yes, I am. I will be. I
think doing it while we're doing the KSR pre show.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
We're gonna try.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah. I don't know how that's going to work, Like, well,
I'll be able to speak while I've got What do
they what do they do when they do it fatial?
They put like a mud on your face.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
You know you're you're not you're not asking the right person,
but you know it's it's it's like a thirty minute thing.
So I mean, it's not like you're just gonna sit
down and get up and get out. It's we've got
to scrape the dead skin cells off of you.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I have no dead skin on face. It's everywhere face
for TV? What are you talking about? He's for TV?
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Who's talking?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I'm gonna doing TV? I do TV every Thursday night, Billy,
Just because you don't watch any tights. Just because you
don't watch and support O v W doesn't mean I'm
not on TV. Let's not act like I'm not a
TV star for it. I've been to a few events,
come on now. But but yeah, I mean, I hope
you're ready to do the pre show tomorrow because if
I can't talk because I've got, you know, this mask
(19:34):
or something on my face doing the facial deal, then yeah,
I hope you're ready to go.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Yeah, I haven't thought about that.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Uh So, I guess if you're not going to be
able to talk while you're getting your facial, we'll just
reschedule your facial.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I mean, I can't.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I can't lose you. Okay, you can't lose me. I
can't lose you either, buddy, Are you the only one
who's not getting it? Because I saw the schedule. I
saw that Matt and Ryan and Drew are all scheduled
to get a fair I'm gonna get one. I didn't
see you're name on there. Are you just too good
to get one? No?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
No, I'm getting one for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I'm gonna get it during KSR though, So once my
hour of work is done, I'm gonna I'm gonna do that.
Mario is actually the only one that it's elected not
to get this.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Well, he doesn't need it. He's still, you know, the
young pup. He doesn't need it. He's got perfect skin
and doesn't need to get one. But for the rest
of us, I don't know. I feel like I'm gonna
be all refreshed tomorrow after I get it, and you know,
a little little spa day for KSR.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, and they're gonna have some food trucks out, so
come hang out with us in Owen Spurrow. I've secured
some hotel rooms for us tonight, Shannon, So depending on
when you get out of OVW, you may have to
meet us at the local chili's or something over there.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Now, I'm gonna request that they put the cucumber slices
on my eyes. You've seen them do that before, right, yeh,
shut your eyes and they put the cucumbers on there.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
It's pretty boogie.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I don't know the level of booginis they're gonna have there,
but I'm sure they'll, uh, they'll get the job done.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Want my hair underneath of a blow dryer like I'm
you know, at the salon.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Some music in the back.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Yeah, exactly. This segment sponsored by DraftKings. I don't know
if you watched any of the NBA games last night.
My Celtics are just stinking it up.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Man.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
They are in trouble. They are now down two games
than nothing to the next after playing two home games
in Boston. That's the second time they've blown a twenty
point lead. If there's one thing we've learned about watching
the NBA playoffs this year is that no lead is safe.
We saw the Pacers come back after being down seven
with less than a minute twice already this year in
the playoffs. Celtics blow a twenty point lead last night again,
(21:28):
and it's not looking too good right now, Billy.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
No, it was. It was deja vu last night.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I mean the Celtics went like thirteen late in that
fourth quarter, and all I could think about was then
missing forty five threes in game. So, I mean they've
got to try something else, maybe get to the basket
or something. But Nicks have played good defense.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Give them credit.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah. The Thunder though, blew out the Nuggets. So that
was one game I think you didn't have to watch
to the end, but you can bet it all on

eighty seven. It's Shannon and the Billy ksrpre Show. All right,
welcome back. It is the KSR pre Show. No one
(22:32):
has told us on social media that they disagree with
this Billy. So you and I I think are our
take on the Kentucky Lebel basketball schedule is perfect because
not one we have found the one topic. Perfect day
brings us all together, both sides of the aisle. Not
one person has disagreed with us when we said that
this is an awful time of the year to be
(22:53):
playing the Kentucky Lobal basketball game. That's right.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
It's the Bloods and the Crips tying the bandanas together
in solidarity of the bad start time for UK and
uf L. I would love to see the football and
basketball games be played on the same weekend, Shannon, Could
we make that happen? I mean we're in the same
ballpark now, I mean that would be that'd be a
fun few days.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
If your team wins, that's a maybe be a rough one.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
If they don't, Yeah, Or if you split, then I
guess both sides get bragging rights for the weekend. I
don't know, though, I think we need to separate it
to where we need just one game and then you
you know, you got bragging rights until the next game.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Three weeks later.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, which is what's going to happen, man, that's true,
that the two weeks to celebrate.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah, think about that. Yeah, we're gonna be playing two
Kentucky Louisville basketball games before we play one Kentucky Losville
football game.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Going back to last year, and probably good timing for
that to happen.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
After the football team loses in Kentucky starting strong against Pat.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Kelsey, Let's take a phone call eight five nine twenty
two eighty seven, Free Bird, what's up? Free Bird?
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Hey guys, there are two things come up with us
angel for this lunacy on ESPN Louisville.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
You know, I don't know is ESPN the one that
that forced them into doing this? I mean, I would
think that Pope and Pat Kelsey would also have some
say so in this whole.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Well, here's here's part of it. Since you're going to
redo the Indiana series. I think that's going to be
played on a Saturday in December. You have the the
game versus Gonzaga and Nashville on a Saturday in December,
and then you also have Saint John's on a Saturday
in December. So if you wanted the game to happen,
I think they had to move it up like that.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Why couldn't we do it on a Saturday in late November?
I know, I think even even pushing it back a
couple of weeks I think would be beneficial.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Shannon, you brought up a good memory for me. Earlier.
You mentioned the marathon oilers in the exhibition games. Yep,
I was, you said, seventy six. I went to one
of those games down at Taylor County High School in Campbellville.
Our whole family win. I remember Marion. I think claim
Haskins brother Maryon Haskins played for the Oars. That's about
(25:04):
the only one I could remember. I would think.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
I was like, yeah, I was a kid. Well, I
guess back in the seventies, I wasn't. I wasn't even born,
but I was a kid in the nineties when they
were playing like the Athletes and Action and those type
of teams. Who was Marathon Oil? Like were they associated with,
like Marathon the oil company, or like who were they?
Speaker 4 (25:24):
I think I want to think it was some college kids,
and even when they got out of college. I think
Marathon Oil was just a sponsor. They had Kentucky Kentucky connections,
and you know, maybe some kin on the other teams.
But it was what I can remember. It was fun.
Of course, I was probably seven or eight years old
(25:46):
in nineteen seventy six, so I just gave you my age.
But I just thought it was a little tidbit, like
I said, Clem Haskins brother or his head Kentucky connection
his name was Marion Haskins, the only one I remember.
I don't hey, I think that.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Was kind of yeah. Yeah, hey, free Bert, I was
thinking about you because I remember we gave you free
tickets on the KSR pre show to go to the
Creed show. And now that's been canceled. So I'm sorry, like,
we don't have anything else to give you right now.
Wait all those tickets, yeah, that canceled the show. Yeah,
all those tickets that we did a whole week in
those tickets, so we did. And free Bird remember changed
(26:26):
his name to with Arms Wide Open and win the tickets.
And now, I mean, I don't know if this is
KSR Curse territory or not, but now the show has
been canceled.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Oh that just bummed me out.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yeah, free Bird, I'm sorry, Three Doors Down can't go?
How come Creed canceling?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Well, you know, I mean, I guess that's a good point.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I mean, maybe maybe Creed the show must go on,
maybe maybe to Wilke did but he said they're canceling
the tour, so I assume that meant that Creed won't
be playing either, but but maybe they will, so hang
on to those tickets.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Well, you probably only have the tickets yet, but hang
on to the to the notion of you being a
winner of the tickets the du Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
That's what we're saying.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, okay, alright, TI, yep, take care.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
We're in limbo with Creed.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Now.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
I did get some info on the text line five
two two six five six six five six. The Marathon
Oilers was an AAU team made up of former college players.
They had very good teams and Scottie Bassler was their
coach for a few years. Uh, you have all you
all have been to his farm for cornbread hemp. So
remember he's come out a couple of times. Okay, yeah
when we do that remote.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
So that reminds me of like when I was a
kid playing little league baseball. You didn't have like little
league baseball leagues now are awesome. Oh it's a it's
a whole because they all have like major League Baseball names.
Like you go and you watch a little league team,
they get like the Cardinals or the Pirates or the Braves,
and they all have like looks like major League Baseball hats,
and like the logo and the whole deal. When I
(27:56):
was a kid, Billy, we played in little league. We
played like marathon, you know, you were like DNJ equipment
or like a Feral Gas. You know.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
It was like, well, you'd have sponsors on the front
of our shirt from like local businesses that we had
to help pay for the league. You're right about the
uniforms being much better. There's no doubt about that. So
that's my train of thought.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
That's all right at Shannon the dude. Somebody has tweeted me,
Billy what. I don't know if you saw this, but
you can now apparently at Costco buy a giant plink
O game that's featured on the Price is Right, and
I need that thing now, Like, how do we get
the plank O game to my backyard? Because if they
got the Plankot game, and telling you, if they put
the big will out, there's a good chance that I
(28:42):
might have the entire set of the Price is Right
just in my backyard and just have like, you know,
the backyard neighborhood games.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, we we just need a longest mic and you
could just be Bob Barker. I'm looking at it right
now that how much does that cost at Costco?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Thing?
Speaker 3 (28:57):
That thing's big.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I don't know, and I don't care. I want it
right now. I've always wanted to be a game show host,
so I'm thinking that the plank O game, We've got
to I got to get the Costco. I think my
Costco membership has expired, so I don't know that they'll
let me in the building.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I'll get you in. I gotta I got a membership,
you do. Oh yeah, I'm there like twice a week now.
If they have the Mountain Climber game, if they finally
get the mountain yeah, yodel or then I'm all in. Okay,
so we'll just build the prices right in Channing's Groad
all right.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Speaking to me, always wanting to be a game show host.
I want to play a game with you right now, Billy.
We have talked about, we have talked about in the
past few days, the fiasco that's going on at airports,
with the row I D situation, with the air traffic
control situation in Newark not being safe because they don't
have enough people to staff it. And people always say
(29:49):
to me like why, like why are you afraid to fly?
They always ask like, what's your what's your hang up
with flying? And I'll say, well, for issues like that
number one where you don't have a air traffic so
properly staffed. That feels like enough reason to be scared
to fly alone. But then Billy I came across a
list of crazy things that were found by the TSA
(30:11):
by passengers who were flying throughout the country.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Oh, this could be anything.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
So what we're gonna do right now is I'm gonna
give you a list of things that were found, and
you're gonna tell me whether they actually were found by
the TSA or I am making it up. So you
gotta you gotta spot which one is the truth and
which one is a lie, a little real.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Or fake when it was found in the TSA.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
So here we go. I got music. Then we got
a little game show music going here. We're about to
play with Billy our sports true the re lie things
found a boy the TSA.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
I love you, Shannon.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Great to be here, Billy. Who you're playing for today? Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I'm playing for the fiance back home, mom and dad watching.
Hi to my brother and sister and my grandma Mimi.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
You were supposed to say a charity, not your family members, But.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I'm playing for the Kentucky Skin Cancer Center.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Okay, there you go. That's a good answer. Right here
we go. So the first item that the TSA may
or may not have found by someone knives hidden in
a Darth Vader bear. Did the TSA find at an
airport across the United States? Knives hidden in a Darth
(31:25):
Vader bear.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
That's barely a sentence that cannot be true. There are
no Darth Vader bears and there are no knives in
Darth Vader bears. I'm going fake, Shannon. Is that your
final answer?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
That is my final answer.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
You are wrong? What it was actually found in the
Philadelphia airport? They send, you know what they sends the disturbance,
and it says they noticed that there was an item
inside of a Teddy Bear, a Darth Vader bear, and
they found knives hidden in the bear. So you're already
(31:58):
bear with a Darth Vader man. So you are O
for one.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Okay, I thought you were throwing a ridiculous curveball at me,
but now I see where we're at here.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Okay, the next item you gotta tell me, is this
true or false? Okay? At a TSA checkpoint, a snake
was found in a hard drive.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Oh that's that's believable. People are always sneaking animals and
snakes into planes.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
There's too many snakes on this bleeping plane. And I'm true.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
All right, you are correct. Yes, a passenger tried to
sneak a snake and a hard drive at the TSA
in Miami, at the Miami Airport. All right, so you're one,
You're one in one, all right. The next one on
the list, did the TSA fine hitting in somebody's suitcase
a live turkey, A live turkey like gobble gobbling. Yes, well,
(32:53):
if it was dead, it wouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Gobbling, that's true. No, no, no, there's no live turkey, Shannon.
They can't fit that in it in a suitcase. So
I'm going fake.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
You are correct, though, one that I made up on
my own. All right, you're turkey. You're back on the
right track here. Okay, two in one, Okay. The next one,
did some TSA checkpoint find a bazooka a bazuka found?
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yes, I think there is somebody stupid enough out there
they think they could bring a Bazuka on a plane,
So I'm going yes, they even tried to pass it
through TSA.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
They found a bazuka. Finally, you are correct, all right.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
You're on a roll.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Now, you're on a roll, all right. The next one is,
did Tsa find a grenade hidden inside of a snuggie?
You know what a snuggy is?
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Yes, did somebody try to wrap the grenade and sneak
it in past? Tsa in a snuggie?
Speaker 2 (33:54):
They thought snuggie was my middle name as much as
I wore my snuggie back when I was a kid.
I mean it was revolutionary. And you find grenades everywhere.
I mean you can go fishing in a lake and
you'll pull up a grenade if you've got a big,
big enough mag doesn't say if it was a live
grenade or not. I'm going true. I'm going they did
find the grenade in the snuggie.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
You're wrong. You got me with the snuggie, Shannon. That's
one that I actually made up. So no, that is
that is not true.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
You have a snuggie.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
I have a robe. I could put it on backwards
and it doubles it.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Don't have a snuggy. No, you don't have a snaggy.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
All right, we'll do one more here. You want to
do one or two more? I want to do one?
Are you enjoying this or do you should we move on?
Speaker 5 (34:32):
No?
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I am because I'm winning.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Okay, Well, you're to believe your record's three and two
right now in two. If you get this one right,
we will we will end it here. If you don't,
we got to go into sudden down a tiebreaker. Okay,
did the TSA find at an airport somewhere across America
a bladed glove aka one that looks like a homemade
like Freddy Krueger glove, Freddy Krugar glove, Freddy Krugar like
(34:58):
one with actual blades on it. We're not talking about
a Halloween prop. We're talking about like a homemade Freddy
Krueger glove.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Well, I've already got the knives in the Teddy Bear wrong,
so we're gonna flip it around. People are trying to
bring blades, glove blades into the TSA. Give me true, Shannon?
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Is that your final answer?
Speaker 3 (35:16):
That's my final answer?
Speaker 4 (35:18):
All right?
Speaker 5 (35:18):
You got it?
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah, alright, Billy, you won, You got it right? Can
you believe somebody would actually try to sneak those things
in past? TSA? Though? What people say to me, why
are you a nervous flyer? It's for reasons.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Like that Darth Vader, bears and knives and snakes and planes. Shannon, I,
we're almost so stupid as a society sometimes I can
believe these.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Congratulations, Billy, you'll be going home with Creed and three
doors down tickets for the show at ro Arena. Congratulations.
All right, we'll take your calls. Coming up next eight
five nine two, twenty two eighty seven, it's the KSR
Free Show, final segment of the KSR Pre Show eight
five nine and two eighth twenty two eighty seven. I
was very impressed, Billy with your your game show skills there,
(36:01):
very good. You just you retweeted a picture of me
as the host of The Price Is Right. That would
be my dream job, Like you talk about the job.
If somebody said, I'll snap my fingers, you can have it.
Give me Drew Carry. I could do a better job
than Drew Carrey. He is a boring host of The
Price is Right. He is he's not nearly as good
as Bob Barker. I would never be as good as
(36:22):
Bob Barker, but I could be better than Drew Carrey.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
So is that the game you'd want to do?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
You don't want to. Let's make a deal a Wheel
of Fortune. Will of Fortune is boring, It's hang Man,
which you know Ryan Seacrest, He's taking everybody's job. He
took the Clark's job. He hosts all these radio shows.
He took Pat Sajack's job. That would be the easiest job, right, Like,
what letter do you want? You want to buy a vow?
(36:47):
But that would be boring? The price is right though?
Is the ultimate dream job?
Speaker 2 (36:50):
What would what would you just be? Not Wheel of Fortune?
That is the one game that I like. I could
have every letter but one, and I'm still like trying
to sound out the puzzle. Shannon is still trying to
figure it out. I don't know why, but I cannot
do it. Mine would be Family Feud, hook Line and
Sinker every single time. That is my number one game show.
Steve Harvey, I mean he's borderline of being inappropriate sometimes,
(37:11):
Shannon like it gets real.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
No no, no, no, no, no no no. You say he's inappropriated. Okay, yeah, yeah,
you know every female dude.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Every single time.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
You talk about inappropriate, go back and watch the old
like before Ray Combs, he was the guy I think
that hosted in the ninety I think that was his name.
Go back to the old school Family Feud and watch
some of those you want to talk about, like creepy
and kind of cringey. Every one of those episodes you
had to kiss everybody.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
It does not hold up today if you if you
were to watch an old episode of Family Feud. But
it seems like those women were excited for the kiss.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Oh yeah, they were. They weren't, well, most of them
probably were. Uh, let's go back to the phones. Let's
talk to me a few that weren't. Let's go to
Mark Ky.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
Mark, Hi, how's everything going. I just happened to grow
up across the street from the vice president of Marathon
Oil in Lexington, and on Saturdays he would take us
and we would go to uh spindle Well shooting I
just lost the Castlewood and we'd pass out programs for
(38:12):
the Marathon Oilers. That was a development before they had
a developmental league or anything. They had these industrial leagues
and they were top shelf players. I mean they only
had like eighteen NBA teams at the time, so all
this other talent would play in the that was like
the Triple A or in baseball or whatever. But they
(38:34):
were great players. They I got to meet the nineteen
seventy two rushing team that cheated us out of the
gold medal. I got to meet a ton of players.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
So I'm assuming that Marathon Oil no longer exists now,
right like the team I'm talking.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
About, No, no, no, this they went away in the
eighties when they started expansion and stuff like that, or
in the nineties when they started. But it was industrial,
high level industrial Mark UK players around it.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Yeah, yeah, I appreciate the call man. Thanks, thanks for
the info. That's thanks for the good info. Mark. So
who would have thought that just a passing comment of
a team that Kentucky used to play in exhibition games?
We drive that that much conversation over Marathon Oil. Every
college wants to talk about Marathon Oil.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
He's passing up pamphlets to promote the Marathon Oil team.
It is good to know that these are I guess,
you know, former college players, high level athletes, and not
guys and slacks that are just playing pick up after
their work shift, which I kind of hoped it was.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Let's get one more on before where you wrap it
up and hand things over to KSR. Let's go to
Todd Hey Todd, what's up?
Speaker 4 (39:37):
Hey, good morning guys.
Speaker 5 (39:38):
Hey, I want to know if you think you're going
to get nominated for Golden Globes. They're giving up podcast
towards now in the future.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Oh really, Oh okay. Yes, I've never been nominated for
any kind of radio award because I think you actually
have to pay to be on the list, and I
am not going to pay to get some award, Like,
I'm not doing that. That's the way I think they
do it in TV as well, Like you have to pay.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
I think Emmy's or a thing. Yeah, they may have
to submit an application for it.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
So I got a gay body of one of my
best buddies works at WDRB and he's got like one
hundred Emmy's at this point, but he has to pay
to be a part of it. I'm like, I'm not
gonna pay for my award, Like, either I deserve the
award or I don't, and I'm not gonna pay, especially
if I don't win the award.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
You may be the only one in the category which helps.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
It's gonna slap in the face to have to pay
for the potential to win an award and then they
give the award to somebody else. I'm not doing it,
but but no, yeah, if they want to give us
the award, we'll take it.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
Todd, Yeah, Okay, enjoy.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
The show Man.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
You know, iHeart has their own podcast awards, Shannon and
I don't think we've won one there yet.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
So I've never won anything except for the World Heavyweight
Radio title. That's the h that's the most prestigious thing
I think of.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
Well one is is a loose word here, and the.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
One I was I was honored with that award. I
guess that is an award that I won and never

Speaker 1 (41:44):
Have a T thirty Salem Drive two thirty Salem Drive. Wait,
are people going to be watching me get a public facial?
Is that what's gonna happen to me?
Speaker 4 (41:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
I didn't like agree to that
Welcome everybody. It is the KSR Pre Show. It's Thursday,
May the eighth. I'm Shannon the Dude to be enjoined
by Billy rut Ledge and give us a call on
the Clark's Puppetshop phone line at eight five nine two
eight oh twenty two eighty seven be our Whiskey Thief
call of the day. You can also send us a
text at five O two two six five six six
five six. The KSR Pre Show is being brought to
(00:22):
you by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington. Sitting here
in Louisville at the studios at four Street Live, looking
at Billy r Sports who is in the studio downtown
in Lexington. And uh, Billy, and I was sitting here
talking about his garage. So he's going to be having
coming on just a few weeks from now. And I've
seen that garage of yours, Billy, you've sent that picture
(00:44):
to me before. I think you need to have a
garage sell just so you can, you know, have the
ability to move around in that thing, keeping your life
savings in there.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, Unfortunately I haven't made a ton of progress on
that garage yet. I sent you the video with the
preference of if I didn't clean my garage, you could
release it to the public. Please don't do that. I've
still got to have not worked on the garage. I've
come to the realization slowly that I am a bit
of a hoarder.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Shannon.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I wouldn't say, you put me on what the Lifestyle
Channel or TLC and you do a whole episode about me.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
But I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
But like old mementos, old clothes, things that I have
an attachment to, I've got a tough time getting rid of.
So when the fiances told me we have to have
a yard sale, no debate about it. We've got to
get rid of some of this stuff. I'm I'm finding
myself emotionally attached to stupid things.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Isn't it strange? Like I'm like that a little bit.
I used to be a lot worse. But now that
I've gotten older, I've, you know, I guess, gotten better
at giving up things that I've had stupid sentimental value
for him, Like why do I have a sentimental value
to this Bellarman baseball shirt? Oh yeah, but that was
the good old days when I was on the team
and I yeah, man, the blood, sweat and tears that
this shirt had on it, you know, throughout the years,
(01:57):
I can't throw away my Bellarman baseball practice shirt. But
then eventually I'm like, all right, it's already it's bigger
than what I would wear right now too, so I'm
just gonna throw it away. So I've gotten a little
bit better about it. You though, on the other hand,
what are you hanging on to, like oat mil cookie wrappers? Oh? No,
it's empty coke cans. I mean, you know, Matt Jones
seems to have some sort of affinity for empty diet
(02:17):
coke cans and McDonald's cups that he just, you know, keeps.
I don't know if it's for sentimental value or you know,
his lack of ability to clean up after himself, but probably.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
A little of both there with Matt. But it's not
like I've got trash everywhere. I do have these twinkies
still in the studio from I think Christmas of twenty
twenty two. Its sentimental to you, they are they are
It's my game twinkies.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I gotta have these twinkies for a game day, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
But it's like I've got this like metal Jack Daniel's
whiskey sign I picked up at Goodwill and hung in
my dorm room for two years.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I can't get rid of that, Shannon, but I probably should.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Like I'm never gonna hang that thing up again, and
it doesn't have any value to me now, much like
if I'm going to use it in the future. But
I'm like you, I think about college, I think about
the good old days, so I can't get rid of it.
But I've never had a yard cell before with my things.
I think my parents did it when I was a kid,
and you know, I didn't mind getting rid of their stuff, Shannon.
But when it's my stuff that people are going to
(03:14):
be rummaging through, I think I'm going to have a
little bit of an.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Issue with this.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
When I was a kid, we always had a yard
sell at my grandparents every summer.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Every summer you had a yard summer, and it was actually.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It was kind of fun, actually, and you know, I'd
put out the bike or you know, something small, you know,
and make a few bucks off of it. But here's
the thing, though, Billy, if you have like a sentimental
attachment to it, you gotta be willing to let it go.
Like when somebody's interested in your old shoes and you
got twenty five dollars on them, you got to be
willing to part with them for fifty cents because people
are going to bargain you down at these yard cells.
(03:45):
I'm just going to let you know. And they get
out there early. If you're a yard seller, you know
you don't go out yard selling at nine o'clock in
the morning because all the stuff has already been picked
over by then. You got to get out there like
right when it starts. Some of them are out there
at like seven seves thirty in the morning, already going
through you know, the pick of the yard cell.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, and I've seen the bargaining.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Is that like? Is that?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Does that have to exist? Can I are my prices?
Can they be final when when it when it comes
to these products? Or are they just gonna talk me
down every time because we talked about this, I'm bad
at negotiating.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Well, then you're gonna lose it all.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
But they're gonna come in and say fifty cents for
your sentimental case.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Okay, but look at it like this. They're giving you
fifty cents not much, okay, a dollar whatever it is.
But they're helping helping you pay to get rid of
the stuff in your garage, so you're you got to
look at it like it's a win win, even if
you make a few bucks. The bigger picture thing here
is that you are getting rid of all the crap
in your garage and at the end of the weekend,
you're gonna have a nice garage that's clean, with empty
(04:45):
space where you can actually walk around it like you're
supposed to be able to. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, we're taking a big haulover to like Goodwill, you know,
maybe like clothes and things like that. We're gonna give
away a lot of stuff like that. But there is
just some randomness in that garage that it's got to go.
But it's you know, it is a breaking point. I
see the hoarders people like the TV show, like I mentioned,
and that's like, that's like you can't walk through the
living room, like the kitchen is just a cesspool of
(05:09):
disgusting and and the fridge has got food that's been
expired for six months.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
So well that you you righties twisted The twinkies have
been expired for over a year.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Twinkies don't expire.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
They they will last longer than us, Shannon, they'll last
longer than AI. They'll still be twinkies around when AI
is running all the radio shows around. So if we
have the yard sale, I'll let you I'll let you know,
so you guys can come rummage through my things.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Cause I don't want your junk. But come on updated,
keep me updated. I want to before and after a
picture of your garage and.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
My old shoes. Yeah, I'll let you know.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
We still have no pope. I think that's one of
the big topics of the world, right I smoke. I
got I get up this morning to turn on my
local news and try to, you know, see what's going
on with the Joe Creeson situation, which we'll get to
in just a minute. But it wasn't even on. They
had the national news on because they're talking about Okay,
we're still waiting on a new pope to be announced.
I didn't know yesterday, Billy. We learned on KSR there's
(06:03):
a Pope power rankings where you've got all the different popes,
the odds on him. You can actually bet on who's
going to become the next Pope. My pope though that
I would like to elect this this fifty nine year
old uh named what was it Pizza Bala?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I don't know the names of the pope. I think
you'll have to fill me in.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Well, I think it was Pizza Bala. I could be
mispronouncing his name, but I mispronounced a lot of names
on this show anyway, though, I'm just saying, if we
get a fifty nine year old pope, why would you
not elect? Now? Look, I know he may not be
experienced like some of the other popes out there, but
why not get a younger pope? That way, we've got
more longevity. You know, we don't need to be doing
the conclave thing every few years because we're electing popes
(06:43):
that are ninety five years old. Right, how about we
get a younger pope and then, in theory, you know,
if he lives to be let's say eighty, we get
another twenty one years before we have to do this again.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I think that's some good reasoning, Shannon. I just want
to make sure you don't think you're going to get
pizza every time this guy speaks like. It's not like
he's going to be given out. Domin knows if the
Pizza cardinal gets elected to be pope.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
But you know, this is an interesting process.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
It's heightened even more if you watch the movie Conclave,
which I did a couple of weeks ago. You know,
I was looking up some story about it, or listening
to Terry Miners I think later talk about it. And
did you know that this process one year or I
guess back in the day took three years before they
were able to.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Decide a pope.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
So in the twelfth twelfth century, the Conclave took three years,
over a thousand days for them to finally agree on
a pope.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
There's no way that happens now, right.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I mean they're locked off from the world, they can't
have cell phones, they can't talk to anybody.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Can you imagine going through that process for three years,
not alone in one week?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I can't. I was watching some of the National Analysis
and one of the ladies that was on there speaking
said that, you know when they when they break for lunch,
that's kind of like a moment to where you could
have some of the guys, you know, maybe persuading others
to vote their way. So a little politics. Yeah, there's
a lot of politic and that goes on at this lunch.
(08:02):
So whenever that lunch is scheduled. You know, maybe there'll
be some shift at votes, but we'll keep you we'll
keep you updated on that. Yeah, his name is Peer,
Pierre Batista, Pizza Bala.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Okay, all right, will count me in the camp rooting
for Pizza Bala. And we know in this world, if
there is something going on, people will find a way
to gamble on it. I learned that when we learned
that the old men are setting lines at the high
School Championship Boys Basketball State Tournament, Shannon, They're they're always
going to bet on it if it's possible. Are you
watching the live stream of the chimney to see if
(08:35):
the smoke is going to come out white today?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I might be later, I don't know. I'm a busy guy.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
You're gonna tune into the street maybe, like for it
really is nothing going on today, maybe.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
For a few minutes a little bit later on. But
I mean we're talking like the big I guess sports
story of the day, and it's, you know, something that
came out yesterday during KSR. It's that the Kentucky Louisville
basketball game has been scheduled for early November on a
Tuesday night. It's November eleventh. And look, maybe it's just
(09:05):
me set my ways, but I like this game to be,
first of all, on a Saturday. I know they've played
this game before, like on a Wednesday night and a
Tuesday night. I like the game to be on a Saturday.
To me, it has that big game feel when it's
on a Saturday. But then not only that, to be
early in the year. On November eleventh, Billy, we still
got three more Kentucky football games after the U of
(09:26):
L uk basketball game this year, just to put a
little perspective on how early they're playing this the earliest
they've ever had it in the rivalry. Are you going
to join me in just about everybody else that I've
heard on this conversation that you don't like it being
scheduled this early in the year, or can you make
a case that you like it being scheduled early?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Well, look, I'm trying to find positives in this. I'm
trying to be somebody that can bring you a different perspective,
and I think that is you know, one of my
favorite parts of the football rivalry was when the game
was the first game of the season. It was like
a whole summer of lead up, right, even though we
weren't doing the KSR pre show.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Back then, you know you could.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Talk about when in the dog days of summer you
could talk about the highly anticipated Kentucky Louisville matchup to
start the year. But Shannon's starting it so early in
the beginning of the basketball year. We're gonna be right
in the middle of football. Like you said, Kentucky's still
gonna have three games to go. They're gonna play the
basketball rivalry game versus Louisville before the football game, so
(10:24):
like we're gonna have plenty to talk about before that
game comes up. So that doesn't really apply, right because
like in the summer, nothing's going on and you can
talk about it being the first game of the year basketball.
I feel like we're gonna be so focused on other
things and then the Louisville game's gonna be here. Now
it's gonna be a probably a top ten matchup, which
is fun. You're not gonna know how good either team is,
(10:44):
and so it should be a highly anticipated matchup like always.
But Shannon, I hate the fact it's on a Tuesday.
I do, and I completely agree with you. I mean,
this is one of if not the best rivalry in
college basketball, and for it to get relegated to a
Tuesday one week after the season starts, it's a disservice
to what the rivalry game means to the sport, I think,
(11:06):
And it's a shame. It's a shame that we might
not see Jaden Quainton's at his best. It's a shame
that Kentucky, who's won fourteen of the last sixteen matchups
against the Louisville Cardinals, are gonna have to do it
on a date that's not around Christmas. You know, it
was always such a great Christmas present to get the
beat down over Louisville. So there's a lot of things
I don't like about it. I even tried to find
(11:27):
the positives in it. But overall, I think that you know,
this seems to help Louisville more than it does Kentucky didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Don't you think just for what that you think you
could catch Kentucky not not ptarm like Bami. Louisvill's in
the same boat. I just don't like it for either team.
I don't know that it benefits one team or the other.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I just don't Well, Kentucky doesn't has to play Louisville
before they even play in the Champions Classic. So I mean,
like normally Kentucky has played some real marquee opponents before
they take on Louisville. Louisville, I mean it is going
to do this really around the same time frame with Kentucky,
so they're gonna both be coming in with a lot
of unknowns. But you know, I don't know, it's only
the third time ever they've played in November, so it's
(12:07):
not like we've seen this very often. But it just
seems like, you know, I guess the basketball game is
normally at a time where there's college football playoffs going
on and people are normally distracted in late December. But Shannon,
it feels like nobody's going to be watching if it's
going to be on a Tuesday night when there's other
things going.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
So if I'm looking for, like, Okay, let me try
to have a rebuttal to my own argument for why
it should be on a Saturday. If you just brought
the Champions Classic, if you look at that the Kentucky
Duke game last year was on a Tuesday, right, they
play that Champions Classic game on a Tuesday. Sure, But
I don't know. Man, for some reason, it feels right
to be in December on a Saturday, or even if
(12:47):
it's not in December, if you want to, you know,
do the thing that Memphis and Tennessee did several years ago.
You play it, you know, on a Saturday in February.
I'm fine with that. I just don't like it being
on a Tuesday because, for whatever reason to me, if
Phil is like a throwaway game now, you may look
at the TV situation and go, well, this is the
best spot you could get it on ESPN, you know,
(13:09):
and it's gonna get more views that way. I get it.
At the end of the day, it all comes down
to the almighty dollar and where they think that they
can get the most bang for their buck. But I
feel like, you know, a Saturday in December, like on
a like a CBS game, is where I want this
game to be. But I don't know. Maybe maybe there's
somebody out there that could give a better argument than
(13:30):
that on why it should be on a Tuesday in
early November. And if so eight five nine two, eight
h twenty two eighty seven at Shannon the Doudan and
at Billy R Sports.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Well, well you know, the Champions Classic is an event, right,
You've got four teams there. You know, Kentucky game usually
isn't until nine thirty ten o'clock, so people can travel
and plan to go to that Kentucky Louisville. Man, this
state shuts down to a degree when those two teams play.
I mean, I've got fond memories of driving on the
Interstate on a Saturday listening to Tom Leach, but hardly
(13:59):
any other cars being on the road, just because people
are out at the bar, or I've gathered around with
friends to watch the game. Houses Divided Shannon are always
stopping what they're doing. Now we got to come after
a workday and doing on a Tuesday night. It just
doesn't feel the same. But that is a good rebuttal
that the Champions Classic is on a Tuesday as well.
But it just does seem a little different. I mean,
(14:20):
we want to give this game all that it's due, right,
and you know, it feels like we're just kind of
throwing it in there early on in the year, at
this point where you can't even look back at the
game very much, right, I mean by March, you're a
completely different team, So you know, it's not much of
a litmus test of how the season might go, but nevertheless,
(14:41):
it'll be another opportunity for Kentucky to beat down on
their little brother.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
So I'm assuming it's just seven o'clock start time. I'm right,
they're not gonna put this at nine o'clock on a
Tuesday night, right, They're not gonna do that. I don't
see a start time listed anywhere, but it's got to
be a seven o'clock game.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I would think, Yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I do like how Kentucky is going to be playing
Purdue in that exhibition game, So you.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Too, I was going to ask you about that, like
your thoughts on it, because you know, in years past,
we would get you know, either like a really small
like a Kentucky Wesleyan or something like that, or if
you go even farther back back when I was a kid,
it was the Lithuanian national team or Athletes in Action.
You know, you get those type of teams. So I
think it's really cool that you know you're gonna be
able to play a good college team in an exhibition game.
(15:25):
I think that'll bring a lot of eyes on it,
even though it's not going to count. I think our
fans will still be into that Kentucky Perdue game.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I think Kentucky played the local YMCA team even back
in the day, So I mean, there have been a
murder's row of opponents on exhibition games. But this comes
with the new rule change that Division one teams can
now play Division one teams and exhibition games. So why
not schedule a high ranking team like Purdue because that
you know, the winner loss doesn't matter, but you know,
(15:52):
growing and gaining that experience can can be invaluable. So
you know, let's keep that going. Maybe use exhibition games
for a spot to bring in some more Kentucky schools.
If you don't want to do you know, home and homes,
maybe just continue to bring in maybe even some of
the smaller schools. But I like the fact that they're
going to test themselves against a good opponent before they
start the year. This UKUFL matchup is in theory one
(16:13):
week after the college basketball season starts, so they'll probably
play maybe one regular season game, maybe two, even before Louisville.
But I mean, I guess there's a chance it's the
first game of the year, and that would just be bizarre.
Here's another old school name that they played once in
an exhibition what's that Marathon.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Oil, the gas company.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I don't know, I just remember that name, Marathon Oil.
They played them back in nineteen seventy six, and that
was a team that would be on a lot of
SEC schools exhibition games. Marathon Oil, the athletes and Action
and Marathon Oil. So I'm just saying I think we've
done a lot better in the exhibition games, going from
the Lithuanian national team athletes and Action Marathon Oil to
(16:53):
now play and Purdue.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So that's the suits playing pick up basketball after work
every day. They think they can take on Kentucky. Now
you said Lithuania was another team.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Oh yeah, yeah, Zacky, I feel like they used to
play them, like back in the nineties we're talking, they
used to play them. I feel like almost.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Every Lithuane Yeah, look them. Yeah, the Lamello ball thing. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
So uh, anyway, we'll take your calls if you got,
you know, a different opinion, you actually like the game
being played that early eight five, nine, two eighth, twenty
two eighty seven, we'll hear it, but we probably won't
agree with you, but we'll take your calls anyway. Coming up,
next year on the KSR pre show Welcome Back. It
is the KSR Pre Show playing some three Doors Down
right here, Billy three Doors Down in Creed. We're supposed
(17:33):
to be playing at rupp Arena later this year. The
singer from Three Doors Down just announced yesterday Billy though,
that he's been diagnosed with stage four kidney cancer. So
they're having, oh my god, cancel the entire tour. Brad
Arnold man one of the nicest guys you could ever
meet in the world of rock and roll. I've had
the chance to interview a lot of you know, musicians
(17:53):
over the years, and he's one of the nicest guys ever.
So we're pulling for him and hopefully he can he
can beat it and get back out there and continue
to play music and do what he loves. But just
a crazy announcement that came yesterday kind of out of nowhere,
so that will affect obviously the the show at Riena
no longer happening.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah, so you no hologram No, we mean no, they're
not gonna do not yet.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
No, at least you.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Know, I mean, twenty years from now, somebody's gonna miss
a show. They'll just replace him. But thoughts and prayers
to him and his family. That is a terrible announcement,
and we'll be thinking about him. Hopefully he can pull
through well.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Speaking of cancer, we're gonna be at the Kentucky's Skin
Cancer Center tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
What a transition. You're right about that. Are you going
to get a facial tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yes? I am, Yes, I am. I will be. I
think doing it while we're doing the KSR pre show.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
We're gonna try.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah. I don't know how that's going to work, Like, well,
I'll be able to speak while I've got What do
they what do they do when they do it fatial?
They put like a mud on your face.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
You know you're you're not you're not asking the right person,
but you know it's it's it's like a thirty minute thing.
So I mean, it's not like you're just gonna sit
down and get up and get out. It's we've got
to scrape the dead skin cells off of you.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I have no dead skin on face. It's everywhere face
for TV? What are you talking about? He's for TV?
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Who's talking?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I'm gonna doing TV? I do TV every Thursday night, Billy,
Just because you don't watch any tights. Just because you
don't watch and support O v W doesn't mean I'm
not on TV. Let's not act like I'm not a
TV star for it. I've been to a few events,
come on now. But but yeah, I mean, I hope
you're ready to do the pre show tomorrow because if
I can't talk because I've got, you know, this mask
(19:34):
or something on my face doing the facial deal, then yeah,
I hope you're ready to go.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Yeah, I haven't thought about that.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Uh So, I guess if you're not going to be
able to talk while you're getting your facial, we'll just
reschedule your facial.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I mean, I can't.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I can't lose you. Okay, you can't lose me. I
can't lose you either, buddy, Are you the only one
who's not getting it? Because I saw the schedule. I
saw that Matt and Ryan and Drew are all scheduled
to get a fair I'm gonna get one. I didn't
see you're name on there. Are you just too good
to get one? No?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
No, I'm getting one for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I'm gonna get it during KSR though, So once my
hour of work is done, I'm gonna I'm gonna do that.
Mario is actually the only one that it's elected not
to get this.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Well, he doesn't need it. He's still, you know, the
young pup. He doesn't need it. He's got perfect skin
and doesn't need to get one. But for the rest
of us, I don't know. I feel like I'm gonna
be all refreshed tomorrow after I get it, and you know,
a little little spa day for KSR.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, and they're gonna have some food trucks out, so
come hang out with us in Owen Spurrow. I've secured
some hotel rooms for us tonight, Shannon, So depending on
when you get out of OVW, you may have to
meet us at the local chili's or something over there.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Now, I'm gonna request that they put the cucumber slices
on my eyes. You've seen them do that before, right, yeh,
shut your eyes and they put the cucumbers on there.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
It's pretty boogie.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I don't know the level of booginis they're gonna have there,
but I'm sure they'll, uh, they'll get the job done.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Want my hair underneath of a blow dryer like I'm
you know, at the salon.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Some music in the back.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Yeah, exactly. This segment sponsored by DraftKings. I don't know
if you watched any of the NBA games last night.
My Celtics are just stinking it up.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Man.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
They are in trouble. They are now down two games
than nothing to the next after playing two home games
in Boston. That's the second time they've blown a twenty
point lead. If there's one thing we've learned about watching
the NBA playoffs this year is that no lead is safe.
We saw the Pacers come back after being down seven
with less than a minute twice already this year in
the playoffs. Celtics blow a twenty point lead last night again,
(21:28):
and it's not looking too good right now, Billy.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
No, it was. It was deja vu last night.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I mean the Celtics went like thirteen late in that
fourth quarter, and all I could think about was then
missing forty five threes in game. So, I mean they've
got to try something else, maybe get to the basket
or something. But Nicks have played good defense.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Give them credit.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah. The Thunder though, blew out the Nuggets. So that
was one game I think you didn't have to watch
to the end, but you can bet it all on

eighty seven. It's Shannon and the Billy ksrpre Show. All right,
welcome back. It is the KSR pre Show. No one
(22:32):
has told us on social media that they disagree with
this Billy. So you and I I think are our
take on the Kentucky Lebel basketball schedule is perfect because
not one we have found the one topic. Perfect day
brings us all together, both sides of the aisle. Not
one person has disagreed with us when we said that
this is an awful time of the year to be
(22:53):
playing the Kentucky Lobal basketball game. That's right.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
It's the Bloods and the Crips tying the bandanas together
in solidarity of the bad start time for UK and
uf L. I would love to see the football and
basketball games be played on the same weekend, Shannon, Could
we make that happen? I mean we're in the same
ballpark now, I mean that would be that'd be a
fun few days.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
If your team wins, that's a maybe be a rough one.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
If they don't, Yeah, Or if you split, then I
guess both sides get bragging rights for the weekend. I
don't know, though, I think we need to separate it
to where we need just one game and then you
you know, you got bragging rights until the next game.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Three weeks later.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, which is what's going to happen, man, that's true,
that the two weeks to celebrate.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah, think about that. Yeah, we're gonna be playing two
Kentucky Louisville basketball games before we play one Kentucky Losville
football game.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Going back to last year, and probably good timing for
that to happen.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
After the football team loses in Kentucky starting strong against Pat.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Kelsey, Let's take a phone call eight five nine twenty
two eighty seven, Free Bird, what's up? Free Bird?
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Hey guys, there are two things come up with us
angel for this lunacy on ESPN Louisville.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
You know, I don't know is ESPN the one that
that forced them into doing this? I mean, I would
think that Pope and Pat Kelsey would also have some
say so in this whole.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Well, here's here's part of it. Since you're going to
redo the Indiana series. I think that's going to be
played on a Saturday in December. You have the the
game versus Gonzaga and Nashville on a Saturday in December,
and then you also have Saint John's on a Saturday
in December. So if you wanted the game to happen,
I think they had to move it up like that.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Why couldn't we do it on a Saturday in late November?
I know, I think even even pushing it back a
couple of weeks I think would be beneficial.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Shannon, you brought up a good memory for me. Earlier.
You mentioned the marathon oilers in the exhibition games. Yep,
I was, you said, seventy six. I went to one
of those games down at Taylor County High School in Campbellville.
Our whole family win. I remember Marion. I think claim
Haskins brother Maryon Haskins played for the Oars. That's about
(25:04):
the only one I could remember. I would think.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
I was like, yeah, I was a kid. Well, I
guess back in the seventies, I wasn't. I wasn't even born,
but I was a kid in the nineties when they
were playing like the Athletes and Action and those type
of teams. Who was Marathon Oil? Like were they associated with,
like Marathon the oil company, or like who were they?
Speaker 4 (25:24):
I think I want to think it was some college kids,
and even when they got out of college. I think
Marathon Oil was just a sponsor. They had Kentucky Kentucky connections,
and you know, maybe some kin on the other teams.
But it was what I can remember. It was fun.
Of course, I was probably seven or eight years old
(25:46):
in nineteen seventy six, so I just gave you my age.
But I just thought it was a little tidbit, like
I said, Clem Haskins brother or his head Kentucky connection
his name was Marion Haskins, the only one I remember.
I don't hey, I think that.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Was kind of yeah. Yeah, hey, free Bert, I was
thinking about you because I remember we gave you free
tickets on the KSR pre show to go to the
Creed show. And now that's been canceled. So I'm sorry, like,
we don't have anything else to give you right now.
Wait all those tickets, yeah, that canceled the show. Yeah,
all those tickets that we did a whole week in
those tickets, so we did. And free Bird remember changed
(26:26):
his name to with Arms Wide Open and win the tickets.
And now, I mean, I don't know if this is
KSR Curse territory or not, but now the show has
been canceled.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Oh that just bummed me out.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yeah, free Bird, I'm sorry, Three Doors Down can't go?
How come Creed canceling?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Well, you know, I mean, I guess that's a good point.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I mean, maybe maybe Creed the show must go on,
maybe maybe to Wilke did but he said they're canceling
the tour, so I assume that meant that Creed won't
be playing either, but but maybe they will, so hang
on to those tickets.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Well, you probably only have the tickets yet, but hang
on to the to the notion of you being a
winner of the tickets the du Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
That's what we're saying.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, okay, alright, TI, yep, take care.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
We're in limbo with Creed.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Now.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
I did get some info on the text line five
two two six five six six five six. The Marathon
Oilers was an AAU team made up of former college players.
They had very good teams and Scottie Bassler was their
coach for a few years. Uh, you have all you
all have been to his farm for cornbread hemp. So
remember he's come out a couple of times. Okay, yeah
when we do that remote.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
So that reminds me of like when I was a
kid playing little league baseball. You didn't have like little
league baseball leagues now are awesome. Oh it's a it's
a whole because they all have like major League Baseball names.
Like you go and you watch a little league team,
they get like the Cardinals or the Pirates or the Braves,
and they all have like looks like major League Baseball hats,
and like the logo and the whole deal. When I
(27:56):
was a kid, Billy, we played in little league. We
played like marathon, you know, you were like DNJ equipment
or like a Feral Gas. You know.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
It was like, well, you'd have sponsors on the front
of our shirt from like local businesses that we had
to help pay for the league. You're right about the
uniforms being much better. There's no doubt about that. So
that's my train of thought.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
That's all right at Shannon the dude. Somebody has tweeted me,
Billy what. I don't know if you saw this, but
you can now apparently at Costco buy a giant plink
O game that's featured on the Price is Right, and
I need that thing now, Like, how do we get
the plank O game to my backyard? Because if they
got the Plankot game, and telling you, if they put
the big will out, there's a good chance that I
(28:42):
might have the entire set of the Price is Right
just in my backyard and just have like, you know,
the backyard neighborhood games.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, we we just need a longest mic and you
could just be Bob Barker. I'm looking at it right
now that how much does that cost at Costco?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Thing?
Speaker 3 (28:57):
That thing's big.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I don't know, and I don't care. I want it
right now. I've always wanted to be a game show host,
so I'm thinking that the plank O game, We've got
to I got to get the Costco. I think my
Costco membership has expired, so I don't know that they'll
let me in the building.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I'll get you in. I gotta I got a membership,
you do. Oh yeah, I'm there like twice a week now.
If they have the Mountain Climber game, if they finally
get the mountain yeah, yodel or then I'm all in. Okay,
so we'll just build the prices right in Channing's Groad
all right.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Speaking to me, always wanting to be a game show host.
I want to play a game with you right now, Billy.
We have talked about, we have talked about in the
past few days, the fiasco that's going on at airports,
with the row I D situation, with the air traffic
control situation in Newark not being safe because they don't
have enough people to staff it. And people always say
(29:49):
to me like why, like why are you afraid to fly?
They always ask like, what's your what's your hang up
with flying? And I'll say, well, for issues like that
number one where you don't have a air traffic so
properly staffed. That feels like enough reason to be scared
to fly alone. But then Billy I came across a
list of crazy things that were found by the TSA
(30:11):
by passengers who were flying throughout the country.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Oh, this could be anything.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
So what we're gonna do right now is I'm gonna
give you a list of things that were found, and
you're gonna tell me whether they actually were found by
the TSA or I am making it up. So you
gotta you gotta spot which one is the truth and
which one is a lie, a little real.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Or fake when it was found in the TSA.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
So here we go. I got music. Then we got
a little game show music going here. We're about to
play with Billy our sports true the re lie things
found a boy the TSA.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
I love you, Shannon.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Great to be here, Billy. Who you're playing for today? Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I'm playing for the fiance back home, mom and dad watching.
Hi to my brother and sister and my grandma Mimi.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
You were supposed to say a charity, not your family members, But.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I'm playing for the Kentucky Skin Cancer Center.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Okay, there you go. That's a good answer. Right here
we go. So the first item that the TSA may
or may not have found by someone knives hidden in
a Darth Vader bear. Did the TSA find at an
airport across the United States? Knives hidden in a Darth
(31:25):
Vader bear.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
That's barely a sentence that cannot be true. There are
no Darth Vader bears and there are no knives in
Darth Vader bears. I'm going fake, Shannon. Is that your
final answer?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
That is my final answer.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
You are wrong? What it was actually found in the
Philadelphia airport? They send, you know what they sends the disturbance,
and it says they noticed that there was an item
inside of a Teddy Bear, a Darth Vader bear, and
they found knives hidden in the bear. So you're already
(31:58):
bear with a Darth Vader man. So you are O
for one.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Okay, I thought you were throwing a ridiculous curveball at me,
but now I see where we're at here.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Okay, the next item you gotta tell me, is this
true or false? Okay? At a TSA checkpoint, a snake
was found in a hard drive.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Oh that's that's believable. People are always sneaking animals and
snakes into planes.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
There's too many snakes on this bleeping plane. And I'm true.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
All right, you are correct. Yes, a passenger tried to
sneak a snake and a hard drive at the TSA
in Miami, at the Miami Airport. All right, so you're one,
You're one in one, all right. The next one on
the list, did the TSA fine hitting in somebody's suitcase
a live turkey, A live turkey like gobble gobbling. Yes, well,
(32:53):
if it was dead, it wouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Gobbling, that's true. No, no, no, there's no live turkey, Shannon.
They can't fit that in it in a suitcase. So
I'm going fake.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
You are correct, though, one that I made up on
my own. All right, you're turkey. You're back on the
right track here. Okay, two in one, Okay. The next one,
did some TSA checkpoint find a bazooka a bazuka found?
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yes, I think there is somebody stupid enough out there
they think they could bring a Bazuka on a plane,
So I'm going yes, they even tried to pass it
through TSA.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
They found a bazuka. Finally, you are correct, all right.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
You're on a roll.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Now, you're on a roll, all right. The next one is,
did Tsa find a grenade hidden inside of a snuggie?
You know what a snuggy is?
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Yes, did somebody try to wrap the grenade and sneak
it in past? Tsa in a snuggie?
Speaker 2 (33:54):
They thought snuggie was my middle name as much as
I wore my snuggie back when I was a kid.
I mean it was revolutionary. And you find grenades everywhere.
I mean you can go fishing in a lake and
you'll pull up a grenade if you've got a big,
big enough mag doesn't say if it was a live
grenade or not. I'm going true. I'm going they did
find the grenade in the snuggie.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
You're wrong. You got me with the snuggie, Shannon. That's
one that I actually made up. So no, that is
that is not true.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
You have a snuggie.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
I have a robe. I could put it on backwards
and it doubles it.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Don't have a snuggy. No, you don't have a snaggy.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
All right, we'll do one more here. You want to
do one or two more? I want to do one?
Are you enjoying this or do you should we move on?
Speaker 5 (34:32):
No?
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I am because I'm winning.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Okay, Well, you're to believe your record's three and two
right now in two. If you get this one right,
we will we will end it here. If you don't,
we got to go into sudden down a tiebreaker. Okay,
did the TSA find at an airport somewhere across America
a bladed glove aka one that looks like a homemade
like Freddy Krueger glove, Freddy Krugar glove, Freddy Krugar like
(34:58):
one with actual blades on it. We're not talking about
a Halloween prop. We're talking about like a homemade Freddy
Krueger glove.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Well, I've already got the knives in the Teddy Bear wrong,
so we're gonna flip it around. People are trying to
bring blades, glove blades into the TSA. Give me true, Shannon?
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Is that your final answer?
Speaker 3 (35:16):
That's my final answer?
Speaker 4 (35:18):
All right?
Speaker 5 (35:18):
You got it?
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah, alright, Billy, you won, You got it right? Can
you believe somebody would actually try to sneak those things
in past? TSA? Though? What people say to me, why
are you a nervous flyer? It's for reasons.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Like that Darth Vader, bears and knives and snakes and planes. Shannon, I,
we're almost so stupid as a society sometimes I can
believe these.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Congratulations, Billy, you'll be going home with Creed and three
doors down tickets for the show at ro Arena. Congratulations.
All right, we'll take your calls. Coming up next eight
five nine two, twenty two eighty seven, it's the KSR
Free Show, final segment of the KSR Pre Show eight
five nine and two eighth twenty two eighty seven. I
was very impressed, Billy with your your game show skills there,
(36:01):
very good. You just you retweeted a picture of me
as the host of The Price Is Right. That would
be my dream job, Like you talk about the job.
If somebody said, I'll snap my fingers, you can have it.
Give me Drew Carry. I could do a better job
than Drew Carrey. He is a boring host of The
Price is Right. He is he's not nearly as good
as Bob Barker. I would never be as good as
(36:22):
Bob Barker, but I could be better than Drew Carrey.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
So is that the game you'd want to do?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
You don't want to. Let's make a deal a Wheel
of Fortune. Will of Fortune is boring, It's hang Man,
which you know Ryan Seacrest, He's taking everybody's job. He
took the Clark's job. He hosts all these radio shows.
He took Pat Sajack's job. That would be the easiest job, right, Like,
what letter do you want? You want to buy a vow?
(36:47):
But that would be boring? The price is right though?
Is the ultimate dream job?
Speaker 2 (36:50):
What would what would you just be? Not Wheel of Fortune?
That is the one game that I like. I could
have every letter but one, and I'm still like trying
to sound out the puzzle. Shannon is still trying to
figure it out. I don't know why, but I cannot
do it. Mine would be Family Feud, hook Line and
Sinker every single time. That is my number one game show.
Steve Harvey, I mean he's borderline of being inappropriate sometimes,
(37:11):
Shannon like it gets real.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
No no, no, no, no, no no no. You say he's inappropriated. Okay, yeah, yeah,
you know every female dude.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Every single time.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
You talk about inappropriate, go back and watch the old
like before Ray Combs, he was the guy I think
that hosted in the ninety I think that was his name.
Go back to the old school Family Feud and watch
some of those you want to talk about, like creepy
and kind of cringey. Every one of those episodes you
had to kiss everybody.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
It does not hold up today if you if you
were to watch an old episode of Family Feud. But
it seems like those women were excited for the kiss.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Oh yeah, they were. They weren't, well, most of them
probably were. Uh, let's go back to the phones. Let's
talk to me a few that weren't. Let's go to
Mark Ky.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
Mark, Hi, how's everything going. I just happened to grow
up across the street from the vice president of Marathon
Oil in Lexington, and on Saturdays he would take us
and we would go to uh spindle Well shooting I
just lost the Castlewood and we'd pass out programs for
(38:12):
the Marathon Oilers. That was a development before they had
a developmental league or anything. They had these industrial leagues
and they were top shelf players. I mean they only
had like eighteen NBA teams at the time, so all
this other talent would play in the that was like
the Triple A or in baseball or whatever. But they
(38:34):
were great players. They I got to meet the nineteen
seventy two rushing team that cheated us out of the
gold medal. I got to meet a ton of players.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
So I'm assuming that Marathon Oil no longer exists now,
right like the team I'm talking.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
About, No, no, no, this they went away in the
eighties when they started expansion and stuff like that, or
in the nineties when they started. But it was industrial,
high level industrial Mark UK players around it.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Yeah, yeah, I appreciate the call man. Thanks, thanks for
the info. That's thanks for the good info. Mark. So
who would have thought that just a passing comment of
a team that Kentucky used to play in exhibition games?
We drive that that much conversation over Marathon Oil. Every
college wants to talk about Marathon Oil.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
He's passing up pamphlets to promote the Marathon Oil team.
It is good to know that these are I guess,
you know, former college players, high level athletes, and not
guys and slacks that are just playing pick up after
their work shift, which I kind of hoped it was.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Let's get one more on before where you wrap it
up and hand things over to KSR. Let's go to
Todd Hey Todd, what's up?
Speaker 4 (39:37):
Hey, good morning guys.
Speaker 5 (39:38):
Hey, I want to know if you think you're going
to get nominated for Golden Globes. They're giving up podcast
towards now in the future.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Oh really, Oh okay. Yes, I've never been nominated for
any kind of radio award because I think you actually
have to pay to be on the list, and I
am not going to pay to get some award, Like,
I'm not doing that. That's the way I think they
do it in TV as well, Like you have to pay.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
I think Emmy's or a thing. Yeah, they may have
to submit an application for it.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
So I got a gay body of one of my
best buddies works at WDRB and he's got like one
hundred Emmy's at this point, but he has to pay
to be a part of it. I'm like, I'm not
gonna pay for my award, Like, either I deserve the
award or I don't, and I'm not gonna pay, especially
if I don't win the award.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
You may be the only one in the category which helps.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
It's gonna slap in the face to have to pay
for the potential to win an award and then they
give the award to somebody else. I'm not doing it,
but but no, yeah, if they want to give us
the award, we'll take it.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
Todd, Yeah, Okay, enjoy.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
The show Man.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
You know, iHeart has their own podcast awards, Shannon and
I don't think we've won one there yet.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
So I've never won anything except for the World Heavyweight
Radio title. That's the h that's the most prestigious thing
I think of.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
Well one is is a loose word here, and the.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
One I was I was honored with that award. I
guess that is an award that I won and never

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
