Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It is the KSR pre Show Friday, May sixteenth. I'm
Shannon the Dude being joined by Billy Relige, and you
can give us a call on the Clark's Pumping Shot
phone line eight five to 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 zo
two two sixty five six sixty five six. And the
ksrpre Show is always being brought to you by Italics
(00:23):
Fine Italian Dining in Lexington, Billy. When I came into
the studio this morning, there was a half drink coke
can that said share a coke with dude. So I'm
not sure if that was like intentionally left there for
me like they were whoever left it was leaving like
the rest the other half of the coke for me,
or if they just didn't pick up after themselves. I'm
(00:43):
gonna guess it's probably they just didn't pick up after themselves,
because that's usually the way it goes around here.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
But I couldn't help but notice that, and I didn't drink.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I didn't take a drink out of it, because you know,
you don't drink after other people.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Bill Well, I like to think Dwight Whitten just had
a coke and took a swig and then decided he
wanted to share it with you.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
You know there was a time where coke put the
names or put names on their bottle, and so if
you they're doing that, you had to share.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
A coke, that's right, Yeah, Yeah, that's that's that's part
of the same campaign that they're bringing batcha.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Kind of a smart thing though, right, because even if
you don't want coke and it says share a coke
with Billy, You're like, you feel like you've got to
buy that coke because it has your name on it.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, no, exactly. It's kind of like you go to
the keychain store and you look for through all the
keychains to see if your name is normal enough to
be made into one. Did you have all those when
you were a kid? I had one? Oh yeah, yeah,
of course, but there weren't a ton of Williams. It
was more Billies that I had to get. But I've
never had a problem drinking after somebody. Shannon, you might
find that a little gross or weird, but you know,
(01:44):
I've never had an issue. I never had to waterfall
a drink after somebody drank it. I would just say, hey,
you know what, you're just sharing a coke. I'd like
to have some.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, I'm I'm not drinking a coke after somebody, but like,
you know, if it's if it's uh, let's say it's
some silk velvet whiskey and somebody has like a you know,
sip they've taken off of it, I might, you know,
take a sip off of it because I'm going it's alcohol.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
It'll burn all the germs away.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I don't know if that's true or not, but that's
how I rationalize it in my mind.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well, they say, you know, you can put a little
whiskey or bourbon on a wound and killed the germs.
I did have to have an intervention once, as I
was a frequent double dipper. People apparently frown on double.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
No, you can't be that guy at the party. You know,
you take a chip, you dip it in there, you
take a bite off of it.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I still got more shape.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Know, you got to go off the other side that
you haven't touched it or you haven't bitten.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Off of You can't be that guyer name. I'm not anymore.
I'm not anymore Shannon. I'm a I've grown up. But yeah,
that was a thing that I've learned that you can't
do too much or people are gonna get mad.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yesterday's KSR show, Billy felt it felt like an old
school show for me. Matt was here in the studio,
hit me made a rare appearance in Louisville. And you know,
if you're a longtime listener, that's the way we used
to always do the show, you know, nine times out
of ten the back in the old days before ks
BARR was a thing, Matt would be in the Lobal
studio with me, and then Ryan and Drew would be
(03:05):
in Lexington and that's how we would do the show
every day. So having Matt in here kind of kind
of felt like one of those one of those old school.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Shows for us yesterday.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
But the interrupting the callers ends today, all right, So
if you're calling in today, all I could say to
you is good luck. You probably aren't gonna get a
word in on the show, but well, yeah we'll let
you talk here on the pre show though, eight five
nine to eight twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
It'll be a triumphant day of cutting off callers for Matt.
I'm sure he's waited patiently. Did we get Bob and
Jamestown in the first segment?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
The first segment, we never seched calls in the first segment,
Matt took Bob and Jamestown and let him speak his
peace during the first segment.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
You know, I didn't hear a ton of the show
yesterday because I was running around like a chicken with
its head cut off, trying to help with the technical difficulties.
But about the one minute or thirty seconds I did
hear of the show yesterday, was you singing the alphabet song? Yeah,
the letter m the munch Munch munch letter m I'm
glad Mom starts with him, or something like I'm glad.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You caught that, because that was that was the highlight
of the show as far as concern.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Now, did you have the letter people here?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Here's well, first of all, before I ask you about that,
the reason all this thing, this conversation came up, was
because Matt was talking about driving around in Louisville yesterday
and there was like kindergarten graduations going on, and he's
very anti kindergarten graduation, because his thing was, you haven't
learned anything yet, you haven't accomplished anything. And my argument was, well, yeah,
(04:28):
you have. You learned your colors in kindergarten. You also
learned your letters because of the letter people. And I
mentioned the letter people on KSR and they all looked
at me like I had three heads, like what are
you talking about?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
And you know, Matt's a.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Little bit older than me, Drew's a little bit younger
than me, Ryan's a lot older than me. So I
didn't expect Ran to know what the letter people were.
But I was kind of surprised that Drew or Matt
neither one of them knew what the letter people are.
I thought everybody grew up with the letter people. Did
you grow up with the letter people in kindergarten?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Not, Shannon, And I had to Google to make sure
that I that I knew what you were talking about
or not. I do remember in kindergarten, like learning my
letters in the letters having faces on them, but none
of the letters had songs like that, Shannon. We would
have a day where like the entire day, you know,
the letter of the day would be M and so
we'd work with things that you know, start with them,
(05:21):
and that's how you learn. But I mean, it sounds
like that's kind of where you got your your love
of singing from. Was the Letter People?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
You No, I don't think that was it.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I think it just transitioned from Letter People to Stone
Temple Pilot.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
It is just weird, like how certain things you remember because.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
You could ask me.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
You could ask me something about that, you know, what
did you do yesterday? And I might remember, you know,
eighty percent of it, but there's another twenty percent that
I've already forgotten about that happened yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yet I can.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Remember the song from when I was six or seven
years old, just like it's just there, like I can
just recall it at any time. And I haven't thought
about that in probably thirty years, but yesterday, bring up
the Letter People and I've got that song that's that's
in my head for my childhood.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
It's kind of crazy how your brain works.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
It is weird what we remember. And I tell you
one thing that's present in my mind often, and that
was my grade school graduation Shannon. Let me tell you
how much it meant to be as a kid. It
wasn't even like that, Shannon. Twice a year the school
would honor us with an award ceremony for everybody that
was on the principal's list or on the honorall So
(06:26):
whether you made all a's or all a's and b's,
and so they'd call your name, you'd walk up, you
get a little certificate, and you'd sit down and to
the you know, to the Matt Joneses of the world,
that maybe we need to do less of that. And
that's just for the parents. But let me tell your
fourth grade billy going up there to get his principals
lists certificate. We'll always remember that and looking into the
(06:47):
crowd and finding my parents. Man, it was a special moment.
It was so don't I'm gonna I'm gonna say a
cow quote here. You're not gonna steal my joint, Matt.
These events are not for you. They are for are
the parents and for the kid. You are not going
to steal our joy in poo poo. The grade school
graduations now preschool, yeah, I mean you're just breathing in
(07:10):
and just picking boogers out of your nose, right like
that's more of daycare.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yep, But what are you doing in kindergarten.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Well, like kindergarten in grade school, you're starting to figure
things out. You've got to have some social skills so
you don't get kicked out of the school. So I
think you are starting to learn a little bit.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I was just giving Matt the other argument.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I don't necessarily disagree with Matt that kindergarten graduation is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I mean, I kind of agree with them.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I was just trying to present the Devil's advocate, you know,
side of things when I was talking about the letter
people and you know, learning your colors. So let me
ask you this, billy, what do you think is the
earliest grade we should have a graduation for? I think
I think we may have had like an eighth grade graduation.
I think we did, But I never had like a
preschool I never went to preschool to begin with. I
(07:52):
never had a kindergarten graduation or a fifth grade graduation.
I think I did have eighth grade. What do you
think is the earliest we should have graduations?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I think like third, fourth, fifth grade is a good
time where recognizing achievements means a lot to the kids
I do. I mean, kindergarten may be a little young.
And then people were posting pictures of their kids in
their graduation ceremonies and they've got you know, they're five
years old. They got robes on, Shannon. Like, that's a
little much. I get that.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
But the diploma's in their hands, the diploma.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
And they're like on the steps of a big building
like they've gone out of their.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Way to do it. They got a diploma in their hand.
They can't even read it.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Listen, you know, I'm pulling out the cell phone during
stressful situations. That's just the new generation of parents, right.
They want to get the photo ops. They want to
have these memories and they'll thank themselves fifty years from
now when they do have these memories. But yeah, I'm
thinking like third or fourth grade. I think third grade
is when they started doing multiplication table Shannon. And if
you can multiplication tables, I think you do deserve a
(08:47):
little credit.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Come on, though, just because you know you're well, I mean,
I know Ryan's still working on his eightes, but you
really think that because you can multiply, that you deserve
to get a capping gown. See my answer would be probably,
I mean, really, in all honesty, probably high school, because
that feels like you've accomplished middle school.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
You're not gonna do a little old more ceremony. Like
does anybody not make it to high school? Sure? Sure, yeah,
I'm sure there's some dropouts even before.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I mean, I know, my grandparents back in the nineteen
thirties only went to eighth grade, you know, and back
then it was a big deal to get a you know,
to go to high school. My thing is like, yeah,
you deserve a diploma for graduating high school, but do
you really deserve a diploma for getting by the eighth grade?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I don't think so. I think even our middle school
graduation was kind of, you know, ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
A lot of dumb kids out there shaming. It's a
good grade. It is an accomplishment for that.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I mean, you know, if I'm getting a diploma, it's like, okay,
this is where you peak out.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Okay, and at eighth grade, that's it, that's where you're
going to peak.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Well, I mean you get a diploma, right, and then
you know, there's a few people that get to be
lucky enough to go to college, right, Like I was
the first person I think in my family that graduated college,
and that was a big deal. But you know, getting
I thought, like getting to high school isn't that big
of a deal. Like if if you accomplished getting by
the eighth grade, I don't think it's that big of
a deal that you need to go through a ceremony
(10:12):
and get a diploma because you made it to freshman
year of high school.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I was doing ceremonies in second grade, and I did
appreciate it. But like you know, a lot of times
you graduate fifth and you go to a new school.
Right you graduate eighth and then you go to a
new school. It's not like that everywhere, but you know,
and they want to recognize your achievements for the years
that you've been there.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
It was a good sports radio topic. Matt comes in
hot with his hatred of kids, and you know me, Shannon,
I'm not I don't fall far from that tree, but
I do remember my freaking second second grade graduation. So
I'm gonna have to be on the other side here.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Okay, So I want to transition to this. I don't
really know how to make the transition. But Bill Belichick
was on Good Morning American Morning graduating. There you go,
that's the transition speaking of kids that just graduated high school,
Jordan Hudson and her boy toy.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Bill Belichick. He was on Good Morning America this morning.
That's right, it's today.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
If you watch it, I did. It was about ten
minutes long. The interview with Michael Strahan tell me, well,
it was kind of honestly boring until like the last
probably forty five seconds. He finally gets in, Like in
the last minute of the interview, he finally kind of
tries to tread lightly and ask about his personal life,
and there was sort of an awkward moment. I feel like,
(11:28):
and I don't know if this is going to translate
on the air on the radio or not.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
But you can watch you've got audio oka.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah, but here it is.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I want to play this for you, so so mute
your your teams on the Yeah, you could do it, Okay,
So here it is. This is Bill Belichick being asked
about Jordan Hudson on Good Morning America This morning.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Oh it's there. So what did Jordan mean to you?
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Well, we have good personal relationship. And you know I'm
not talking about personal relationships, Michael.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
You know that, Okay, I know that could well I'm
saying Are you happy?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah? Can you look happy?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I never thought I thought i'd seen you doing yoga.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Only only happy people do yoga. It was sort of
a I feel like Bill's face kind of turned red
a little bit when he started getting asked about Jordan Hudson. This,
this whole story fascinates me. But it wasn't that. It
wasn't nearly as good as well I thought it was
going to be, because mostly it was about his book
and his coaching career. Nobody cares too much for that
(12:24):
interview too exactly. And she wasn't there, which is probably
a good choice for all parties.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
In she wasn't off screen, and she was not there
this morning. Now, you know, that photo is incredible, that
yoga photo on the beach. I think there is part
of me that believes Bill Belichick never knew that that
photo was posted and circulated online the way that it did,
going megaviral, right, But there is no way that he
doesn't know about the you know, the storm that this
(12:52):
story has become at this point, right, I mean, you
have to. He's one of the greatest coaches of all time.
He has to have the awareness that this story is
not good for his legacy, you know, for North Carolina,
for everything that he's got going on right now. So
we're in damage control right now. And in the final
parts of that interview, when he's finally asked about Jordan Hudson,
(13:13):
I'm sure he did his face did get a little
red and got a little embarrassed that he had to
talk about it even more. I'm sure there's a lot
of love between him and Jordan, but I've seen reports
that she was around the Patriots facility for a couple
of years Shannon when he was still there. I mean,
this is this is somebody that he possibly met at
nineteen years old, which is legal on an airplane. But
I can understand why they don't want to talk about that.
(13:35):
It's just been a lightning rod of a story for
people like us, right because everybody seems to have an
opinion on it. And it sounds like his former teammate
Michael Strahan was throwing softballs too.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
He was trying to like trying to tread lightly, trying
to bring it up, but he knew that it was
going to be like a sensitive subject. Soon as he
started talking about her. Bill Belichick kind of shut down.
He's very like yep, yes, and then the line, only
happy people do yoga, Coach, have.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
You ever done that on the on the beach done
a couple of yoga with the significant other?
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I haven't either.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I have not done that.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I'm still on my body app that I'm working out
on every day, which working which, by the way, last night, Yeah,
I've challenged you to come work out with me and
do one of these which, by the way, I finished
last night the Lift More program eight weeks. I'm finished
with it now. But I'm telling you I feel great,
feeling great. But I'm telling you, uh, this guy that
leads these these workouts, like the guy that's you know,
(14:34):
come on, you got it all right?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Four more?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I'm telling you my conspiracy theory is this guy is
not lifting nearly as many pounds of weight that he
that he puts on.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I do not believe this.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Oh you think he's got fake weights?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yes, I'm saying this guy had he's working out with
foam weights. Because we're doing the I'm doing these workouts,
and he's doing the workouts and he's lifting more weight
than I am, and he's over here talking through the
entire workout.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
He's not out of breath or anything.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
And I'm over here, Billy, for my life, just trying
not to have a heart attack, Like, don't, don't even
try to talk to me, because I can't even get
a word out. This guy's over here doing more weight
than I am the same exercise and is talking through
the entire thing. And my conspiracy theory is he's got
foam weights. There's no way I'm not buying that this
guy is in that much better shape than me. So
(15:20):
is there any is there any chance, Billy, that we're
being fooled by these people that we, you know, work
out with on these apps, because I don't I don't
believe this guy can lift that many weights, that heavy
of weight and be able to talk through the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
That's interesting. I've seen some of these fake weights where
it looks exactly like a real one and it can
be fake. But you know, I don't want to call
this guy's integrity And I mean, well, now you're calling
out I.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Hate this guy, Joel Freeman. He talks through the whole thing.
He makes these corny jokes, and I'm like, I'm not
in your I'm not in the mood for your jokes, Joel.
I just I just want to work out and get
into shape. And here's the good thing about this workout, Billy.
You do it, of two things will happen. Either you
get in the best shape of your life or you'll
dropped out of a heart attack. And I'm nearly had
(16:05):
seven heart attacks in this workout, but I got through it.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
But it feels like a little like a peloton class,
or you've got an instructor and you've got to follow along.
But Shannon, I'd love to join you for one of
these workouts. That's that's uh, that's not smoking mirrors. I'd
love to join you for that.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I would love to see if you can get through
one of these.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Well I can. The problem is is that, like I
like to sit on my phone after Oh see, that's me.
That was that was always my problem with working out.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
You go to the gym, you you bust out a
few reps, you look at your phone, your buddy walks by,
you start talking to them.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Ye. Next thing you know, ten minutes has gone by
and you're like, oh, yeah, I need to work out
some more.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
This thing. You're in and out in forty minutes, like.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
I've done an hour workout and maybe like twenty five
minutes of actual work and yeah, you know what I mean,
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
So and this guy doesn't give you, like any time
to breathe, Like there's no like you're busting out twelve
reps and he's like, all right, let's go to the
next one.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Like wait a.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Minute, Like do I don't like that? I need to
pause it? You can, but I feel like that's kind
of cheating sometimes I have to though.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I'm like, got enough of this guy.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Already cheating with the fake weights, so you might as
well cheat back a little bit. But glad to hear
that you're you're through the program? Has it helped it all?
At OVW? Can you feel it a little bit?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah? I can.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah, you know, I train once a week at OVW,
but I can, you know, throw around a little bit
more weight than I used to. The main thing is
just feeling better. You get to a certain age, you
got to do it just for your own health, just
so you feel better. You get out of bed every day.
So okay, old man, Yeah, but anytime you want to
come and join me, the invitation's always there. Eight five
nine twenty two eighty seven We're going to take a break.
(17:31):
We'll be right back, and we got to talk Kentucky
baseball last night. Man, what a brutal way to lose
one against Bandy. We'll talk about that to lead off
the next segment coming up. Right, we are back. It
is the KSR pre show. Well Third Out Blind right there.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yeah, it feels like I'm in the nineties.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
It was fun over it was fun opening up for them,
but I didn't get to actually meet them, which I
thought was kind of a little downer. They're gonna be
playing Bourbon and Beyond Fest though, coming up in Louisville,
so be able get to meet them them.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I was there. I left two songs in after Third
Eye Blind started. I was there to see Shannon the
Dude and Alice Lougan.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I appreciate that, all right, So Kentucky last night, Man,
what a way to lose the Yeah, they were up
the entire game looked like they had the game under
control against number nine ranked Vanderbilt. They're up seven to five.
Bottom of the ninth, two strikes, two outs, two on,
(18:27):
and the Vandy player hits a three run homer to
walk it off and Bandy wins eight to seven. That's yeah,
that's one of the more brutal losses I've seen in
a long long time. But they got one more or
actually two more next games tonight. I don't know if
they're going to try to move that up or I
know we got some bad weather coming in, so there's
a chance they may try to move that game up today,
(18:47):
but I think it's right now. Schedule for seven o'clock
tonight for Game two.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Caught the beginning of the game. I mean Kentucky scored
three or four runs before they even had an out.
I mean they was five to zero in the end
of the first setting, and these guys were making a statement.
I mean, Vandy's a team number nine in the country,
who if they were to win all three games versus Kentucky,
would put themselves in the conversation to host a regional
So I mean they are they've got something to play for,
(19:12):
just as Kentucky does. But heartbreaking. And we've seen this
a couple times this year, right, We've seen some true
gut punch losses for the Kentucky baseball team this year.
You know, they really need probably one more win to
feel confident about making that NCAA tournament pool. They'll have
the SEC tournament in Hoover next week. But I actually
posted a video this morning from that game at Billy
(19:34):
R Sports where Ryan Schwartz got hit in the temple
last night.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Did you happen to see that part?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I saw it and he just shrugged it off like
no big deal, just took his base.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Unbelievable. I mean, he just spun around and then looked
at the guy on the mound. Thank god, like that
wasn't a couple of inches over or like hit him
directly on the face. That could have been a messy scene.
But he got hit and then just looked and stared
right through the pitcher.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
That was a pretty badass moment. Was you hit me
in the temple? I'm calling for the trainer, possibly an
ambulance if you hit me in the temple with a
ninety six mile an hour fastball. He takes one right
there and just like what that's supposed to hurt?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
What you're gonna do?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
You're gonna have to call Joel to get me up
off the ground after that.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, I think you're right, though, I mean, well, I
think Kentucky is in as of right now. I think
even if they were to get swept and lose the
next two games they're in, but you're right to be
to feel comfortable about it. I think you need one
more so maybe they can. Hopefully they can get that
later on today.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
But hopefully these close games, I mean they help them
in the postseason this year. I mean, they're gonna be
no stranger to the pressures of winter go home and
so you know, they they've got some good starters, but
you know, the bullpen's got to improve. Tyler Bell has
just been magnificent this year. So when he came up
with the bases loaded and won out and grounded into
(20:49):
a double play, you can't fault the guy too much
for it. But you know, I've got confidence in Minjion Man.
You remember his back was against the wall, he was
on the hot seat, and then he I think they're
about to make their third straight in tournament. So you know,
best of luck for this team moving forward, and another
big two big games left versus Andanerd.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I'll be watching those two. Will you be watching any
of the Preakness on Saturday? No?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I mean yeah, because I'm trying to get into horse racing,
Shannon and be that guy but like, because the derby
winner is not racing, what interest do I have it
to the casual horse race?

What's that?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Seems like it's like the studio's on fire in the
last couple of days.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
All you can do is laugh about it. Eight five, nine,
two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. At Shannon the Dude
at Billy r Sports on Twitter, David Wright sen It
says it's funny that Shannon and Matt we were not parents.
The way they fill about graduations, you'd probably have a
different opinion if you had kids of your own, life
is different as a parent. Look, there's no doubt. I
do not doubt that life is different as a parent.
(23:07):
But do I think that we should celebrate every time
they graduate or move on from one grade to another.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Should we have a graduation for it?
Speaker 2 (23:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I wouldn't want to do that.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Billy, if you had a kid, would you want to
go to your kids kindergarten graduation?
Speaker 3 (23:21):
If it's my own kid, yes, If you're dragging me
to somebody else's kids graduation, no, I mean I'm gonna
try to get out of there as quickly as possible.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
See, I'm gonna explain to my kid, Look, you got
their graduation. That's great, but you didn't accomplish anything.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
WHOA, that's what you're.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Gonna tell your kids.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I'm gonna say, Look, you've got a long road ahead
of you. You've got a bright future. We're gonna opt
out of the kindergarten graduation, all right. My kid's gonna
be a badass. It's gonna opt out of the kindergarten graduation.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
It's gonna go.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I don't need this, all right, we don't have time
for graduations. Get back in the pumpkin field, little dude.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Yeah, I'm gonna teach us something. Teach us in real
life lessons instead of kindergarten graduation. Corey, he writes in
before we get to you. Uh, he said, I had
a fifth and eighth grade graduation that they played I
Believe I Can Fly by R. Kelly at my fifth
grade graduation. That didn't age. Well, No, it did not, Corey,
it did not at all.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
What a great song. That was great for momentous occasions
like graduations. There's still or eat from listeners. On the
text line five O two two six five six six
five six, one person says the wrestler who throws fake
punches is getting awfully triggered by a guy using fake weights.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Wow, okay, fake punches. No, those punches are real. You
step in the ring. I mean you're gonna get hit
in the phase. I don't know how to throw a
fake punch, So when I'm throwing a punch into the
wrestling ring, you're getting potatoed.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I'll tell you what. The chair wasn't fake when you
get that out in underneath the ring.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Top of the that there are the punches.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
By the way, the punches are a little held back.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Let's say, what's this okay.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Another person says, any graduation before high school is unnecessary.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
That's what I'm saying. Before high school, it's unnecessary. So
we can't celebrate accomplishments until we're eighteen.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Oh no.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
This person goes on to say, all these people who
have graduations before that grow up soft like Billy.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Oh stop, I didn't know I was getting called out.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
In the same text, those unnecessary graduations have created a
weak generation of Americans.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
That's from an anonymous generation Americans. Anonymous. Yes, yeah, good thing.
You didn't put your name on it, anonymous. There's the
tea break. There's the text right there, regeneration like Billy,
give me a break, eight five, nine, twenty two eighty seven.
Let's go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Let's talk to Robert. What's up, Robert? How are you?
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Hey? Guys? As far as the baseball team goes, I
don't I don't think there's anything to worry about. I
think they're in THEANCYC this year. You've got ten teams
that played Missouri and you got five that didn't. So
when you take those Missouri wins that everybody's got out,
the Cats record looks a lot better. Uh, those three
(25:59):
wins except for Texas A and M that they got
it are just you know, it really bounces out everything
if you take out the Missouri wins the right guy.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah, if you read the the Joe Lonardies of baseball
out there, from everything that I've read, bracketology, yeah, they
have bracketology for everything now. But from everything that I've read,
they are in as of right now, projected to be in.
But yeah, I mean it would be good to grab
one against the number nine team in the country. Yeah,
so if they you know, last night gave me a
(26:28):
little bit of hope, even though Vandy was throwing a
guy that they hadn't started all year a freshman.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
But we'll see what happens later.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
I couldn't Okay, see you guys, Yep, thanks.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
For the call, Robert.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Thanks. Yeah, it's unbelievable. They may make the NCAA tournament
and be below five hundred and SEC play just kind
of goes to show you how good that conference is.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
We've been talking a lot about baseball this week with
the Pete Rose stuff with Kentucky baseball, and I wanted
to talk about this on Monday. We just ran out
of time, and we've had a form of this conversation before, Billy.
But I was watching a game the other day, Major
League Baseball, and I was thinking, you know, my like
knowledge of a lot of Major League Baseball only goes
(27:06):
back to like my childhood, so you know, nineteen ninety
two forward. And I started thinking about, like all these
old baseball players that have you know, long since passed on,
like Babe Ruth, these guys that hold all these records.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Jack.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I started thinking, like, you know, the game of baseball
has evolved a lot over the years, But how fast
were pitchers throwing back in Babe Ruth's day? And I
looked it up, and on average they were throwing eighty five,
which is a big difference from today. By the way,
the average pitch today in Major League Baseball is ninety
five miles an hour.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
You know, ninety five is the average average?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yes, okay, And you know pitchers, of course, have you know,
better breaking balls and just just better pitchers overall in general.
But it got me to thinking, could Babe Ruth be
a good player in today's game?
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Like if you took Babe Ruth and you gave.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Them access to all the things that Major League Baseball
players have today?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Would he still be a Hall of Famer?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
And I read an article that was sort of debating
why he wouldn't be good. I sort of have the
opposite opinion of that, Billy, But what's your opinion. Could
a guy like Babe Ruth, Let's say you took him,
you gave him access to everything that Major League baseball
players have today, that includes nutrition.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I know, like the big argument was, Babe Ruth was
a fat guy.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
And did you know that, according to like the stories
of Babe Ruth, he would sit in the dugout and
drink a six pack of coke or soda in every game?
Speaker 4 (28:34):
No?
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I did not know that, Like, you wouldn't be doing
that in today's game, right, everything's about health.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Nutrition.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
But do you think that Babe Ruth, if he had
access to all the things that the players have today, bats,
the whole thing, do you think he could be a
Hall of Famer today?
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Wow, that's an interesting question because your caveat of you know,
the nutrition aspect of it, the like the modern facilities.
Could he turn into somebody that could be a Hall
of Fame er? Sure, but that doesn't guarantee success, right,
I mean I think of a guy in a different sport,
like Zion Williamson, who I mean, He's got all the
facilities and the people telling him what to do, but
(29:11):
he's still fat, Shannon, Like, he still can't get to
a point where he can stay healthy and stay on
the court. So it doesn't guarantee success, no, But you know, like,
is the babe putting up the same numbers if Pedro
Martinez is throwing a ninety two mile per hour slider
in his face? Shannon, You know, I don't think so.
I mean, the babe, the Great Bambuino, he played in
(29:32):
a time where blacks didn't play, when Hispanics weren't playing.
I mean, it was a completely different time. So I
think if you just dropped him in today's game, he'd
be a lot worse than what we saw. But you
know that's a little unfair to the babe, right, because
everything evolves, and naturally you go back and watch a
basketball game from the eighties, Shannon, You're like, it looks
(29:53):
like a different sport. They're dribbling up here, you know
what I mean, Like they wouldn't survive in today's age.
So I don't think it's you know, it's only babe
that would struggle if he were in the modern age.
But could he become somebody that that it had some discipline,
didn't smoke cigars, didn't drink cokes in the dugout. Yeah,
he could become into a Hall of Famer. But if
(30:14):
you were to just say take him as he is,
would he find success in the league today? And I
would probably say no.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Well, see, I would agree with you on that.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Like if you took out of shape Babe Ruth from
back then when there was not really a big emphasis
on fitness and they weren't really paying attention to what
they were putting in their body, then yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
He would be too slow. He wouldn't be able to
run the bases.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
You know, I don't think that Babe Ruth back then,
you drop him in today's game would be very successful.
But again, let's just assume that he's not going to
be overweight, and then he still has the same hand
eye coordination, Billy. I mean to me, that's what it
comes down to. Do you have the hand eye coordination
to hit a baseball? Babe Ruth clearly had that. So
(30:57):
I think that even though pitches are a lot fatter,
straw on average than they wore back then. I think
that he would still have the raw talent to be
able to succeed in the game today.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Give him some new equipment, maybe a new torpedo bat.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Yeah, bay Ruth is a torpedo bat.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Come yeah. So you know there are some things that
could translate through generations. Sure, and and for him to
be considered one of the best baseball players of all time,
he had to have.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
That talent, right, so naturally you think they could translate.
And that was the biggest argument was that he was
out of shape. Okay, we'll whip them into shape. You know,
I don't think he's going to be on the team.
You know, like there's a few exceptions, I guess over
you know, the last thirty years, you know of guys
that were just out of shape that were baseball mov on.
Big dude, Big Poppy. Big Poppy was probably in better
(31:44):
shape than what you thought.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
But he was a Mets pitcher. Bartolo Cologne a home
run that was like a national story there for.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
A week after he did. David Wells out a beer belly.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
David Wells just hung over the day he threw his
perfect game. You haven't seen that story.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, so so my consensus is, yes, Babe
Ruth would still be a Hall of Famer if he
had access to everything that players have access to today.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
I like to think if Elie de la Cruz went
back to the nineteen thirties or twenty Shannon and what
they think about him.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yeah, that would even be fair. But I'd be like.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
An alien coming down. And some of the things that
he can do on a baseball diamond. I mean, he's
got the records for like the fastest ball speed, you know,
throwing from the outfield or from shortstops. So it's incredible
what he's been able to do. And the Red still
can't win.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
All right, So I'm looking forward to this next call.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
You know, yesterday, Billy, we had Tristan come on and
give you a tarot card reading.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
And Tristan's back again.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Today he's back and he's I think he's got another
tarot card that he's gonna flip over.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Is this going to be for me today, Tristan? Is
that what we're doing?
Speaker 6 (32:48):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Yeah, this one's for you. But first I wanted to
back up and say I looked at my notes and
the day after the Oakland game yesterday. I actually pulled
a card called the Hangedman, and it depicts a person
hanging upside down by their feet, and it's all about
how you should get a new perspective in order to
ford forward and be happy.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Okay, all right, well general enough. I guess that worked, Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Yeah, okay, got it. Okay, So what's so what's my
car today?
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Yes, I've got to go in for you today. And
it's just going to take this one second. So I'll
pull the three of one's and if you want to
look on Google is the three of ones. Put the
word writer R A D E R will pull the
right one anyway. So the this is a little bit
about transition, and I think this is gonna be perfect
for you, Shannon. So the Ace of Ones is about,
you know, it's like regular playing cards ace up through
ten than face.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Cards ones or ones.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Like one W A N D S one one.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
A one anyway. So the Ace of Ones is about
you know, the it's a fire symbolism. It's about you know,
it's a it's a picture of a hand coming from
heaven saying here, take this fire energy and make it
the light and guide of your life and actions. The
two of ones is about a person standing on like
the edge of the castle, looking out over the world,
and that is like your preparation. You're getting ready to
(34:03):
walk out into the world. The three of ones, this
is the one I pulled for you today, Shannon. I
think this is perfect for you because this is a
person standing on the river. He's holding onto a one
that is attached to the ground, but he's looking out
thinking about his future. And so I apply it to
you this way. So you have been a rock DJ
for twenty years, you are comfortable in that career, you
are you are grounded in that way. However, you're now
(34:24):
with a rock band with Alice Blueground. You guys are
putting out original music. You know in your own way.
If you're probably thinking about trying to go on tour,
trying to do something with that band. But yet you
are still firmly rooted in your world today because you
know it's safe, it's comfortable, but you want to go
out and do something else. And so the three of
one's is that calling to go out and do something
(34:46):
else with your life. Because the four of ones is
about the completion the attainment of that act. So I
think you're standing on the precipice ready to jump, but
are you there yet? And that's the question that the
three of Wanes ask you today.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Wow, that is very insie pull trusting, much better than
Billy's feminine card that you pulled yesterday.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah. I was emotional and feminine and Shannon's ready for
the future. Tristan, that does seem right.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Hey, he can't help it, man, the tarot does what
it does. He just pulled a card. That's right, trusting,
great call, Thank you for the call. We'll make you
the whiskey thing call of the day. We'll making the
whiskey thief call today.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Yeah, I call bs on that one. I mean, we
all got something we're looking forward to in the future,
Shannon and some of us just have brighter futures than others.
It's the three of ones. How did I get the
feminine card yesterday? The standing on the precipice and that's
just your Yeah, are you ready to quit this and
be a rock band lead singer?
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Bo I mean I can do both. I feel like
I've been doing both for the last three years.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Just fine.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Yeah, so well not not when you go big time,
and you start toring and that rider list becomes a
little bit harder to get.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Man, we're taking more bookings, by the way, so hit
us up if you want us to come play.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Well, we'll do the Kentucky tour. At least I can
stay close to home. Three of ones the ones.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
I thought he was saying the three of ones at first,
so I have to look that card up later. All right,
we're gonna take a break A five, nine, two, eight,
twenty two eighty seven. We're gonna go back to the phones.
Take your calls for the final segment of the KSR
pre show, The guide to making all parents upset, tell
them that their child's kindergarten graduation doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
And this song makes me sad. I was so soft
getting raised with graduations and awards ceremonies. What's wrong with
my generation?
Speaker 2 (36:26):
So we have opinions coming in on whether or not
Babe Ruth could succeed in today's game of Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
On the text line, I loved this one. One person
said Babe Ruth would get cut from the tryouts at
Tates Creek High School today.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
No, he wouldn't know, He wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
The baby you just put you just trans transplanting him
as he is today. I don't think he's getting cut.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
That's not the day though. No, we're gonna take Babe in.
We're gonna put him on a strict diet. We're gonna
get them into the weight room. He's gonna be a machine.
He's gonna be like a Abe's gonna be on body. Yeah,
he's gonna be working out on that. You're gonna be
eating salads. And don't tell me that Babe Ruth wouldn't
succeed in today's world. I don't believe it. A little
bit of football Billy, listen to the show on this
(37:08):
we're a hundred days away from college football and I
can't remember a quieter time ever in Kentucky football for
an offseason that what we've had this year. And you
can look at that, I guess from either side of
the coin. You can look at it as Okay, well
they're coming off a four and eight season, but they're
gonna be better this year. And Mark Stoops is just
reading the room. He realizes that nobody wants to hear
(37:30):
from him because fans are going to say, well, you know,
we'll believe it when we see it, so maybe that's
the reason that he's being quiet, or you can look
at it on the other side of the coin and go,
he's being quiet because he realizes this team is in
a lot of trouble and it's going to be another
bad year, so he's not going to try to hype
up the team too much. Which side do you tend
to believe when it comes to why it's been so
(37:54):
quiet for the football team this offseason.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
I think it's a little bit of a little Wayne
Little John Caliperry, real geez moving silence like Lasagna. I
mean they you know, for a couple of years there
they were pounding their chests, talking about coaches doing their
TikTok dances and their sunglasses and and you know Stoops
is a victim of his own success, right, I Mean
the standard was Music City Bowls when he got here,
(38:16):
maybe even a little less than that. And now you've
got to win seven, eight, nine games before fans are satisfied.
But I think he's this is just kind of the
opposite of what they've done over the last couple of years.
I don't think it's Mark seeing the riding on the
wall or not thinking his team's talented enough, because these
guys are competitors. Man, They're passionate about what they do,
and I don't think they go into any situation thinking
(38:37):
that they've lost before they've even begun. So I just
think it's it's a natural correction after the chestiness of
the last couple of years. But I'm not gonna lie
and act like I'm not worried, Shannon. I mean, you
guys were talking about Toledo the other day, and.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, if we're the game that is, if we're not
worried about Toledo and Vanderbilt, that shows you how far
the team has fallen back down.
Speaker 5 (38:57):
You know.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
That sounds like conversation we were having during the joke
or Phillips Sarah and.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Old Miss is gonna be ready to go? And Kentucky
essentially knocked them out of the playoffs last year with
their wins, So I mean, it's gonna be an interesting
first couple weeks of the year, and then you know,
if they can get through that, we maybe one in
one to a zero in a in a in a dream,
then then maybe we can start to get excited again.
But I'm with you, it's kind of wait and see
if this.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Stoops is kind of in the situation to where if
he talks, fans are just gonna criticize it and go,
we don't believe it, And then when he doesn't talk,
we go, why isn't he talking?
Speaker 3 (39:30):
It's a tough Yeah, he's he's.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Kind of like in a damned if he does, damned
if he doesn't type situation, because if he's not talking,
we're wanting him to talk, and then he wanted When
he does talk, fans are going, we don't want to
hear it.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
You know, enough talk, Why don't you give us some results?
Speaker 6 (39:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (39:43):
And you know what helps with that is the millions
of dollars he makes every year.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
That's true. So that's true.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
I'm not going to lose too much sleep over you know,
Stoops being in a tough position with the media, No doubt.
I think these questions have been fair, you know what
I mean? Like that's it's not been good over the
last Real Quick over under four and a half wins
this season. I saw this over under I'm gonna go over.
But I don't know if they get to boiligibility Shannon,
I'm thinking five, it's the magic number. I'm kind of
(40:08):
I think stoop survives five. Yeah, I think he does too.
I don't think he survives four.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
I think that's a great line because I think four
he's out. Five it's just enough to hang on to
keep your job. Four is not accepted. Five's not not
acceptable really. But if he goes five and seven with
this schedule, I think he gets a pass four, there's
no way.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Let's go to logan. What's up Logan?
Speaker 6 (40:29):
Hey, guys, since you brought me in on it, I'm
gonna say he gets to stick. Don't ask me.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
Who he upsets.
Speaker 6 (40:35):
That's just kind of what I'm feeling.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
What I wanted to.
Speaker 6 (40:38):
Say, though, was I graduated with a degree in psychology,
and I also have my own child, so I'm going
to weigh in a little bit. I so my son,
for example, just registered for preschool. My wife is going crazy.
I'm like, yeah, you know, good for him, he's about
to start fourteen years of torture. But as are as
(41:00):
people undermining you know, kindergarten graduations, fifth grade, eight grade,
things like that, that's just such a mindset of a
heartened adult who has experienced kind of the lows and
transgressions of lives, where if you're in the place of
these five year olds, you're thinking, hey, I did it.
Like this is the greatest thing they've accomplished so far
(41:20):
because they've learned reading, writing, They've started going through processes
of eliminations and how to like work out lives problems,
and those are like fundamental, you know, skillful in it
for life.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
I hate to logan, we're at the end of the show.
I hate to cut you off, but but.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
That takes stuff Logan. That's that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
They're going to getting cut off no more. Uh Matt
Jones just letting people talk.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
Are you ready? He's gonna get to cut him off
today quick.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
Thanks for listening. See it
Welcome everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It is the KSR pre Show Friday, May sixteenth. I'm
Shannon the Dude being joined by Billy Relige, and you
can give us a call on the Clark's Pumping Shot
phone line eight five to 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 zo
two two sixty five six sixty five six. And the
ksrpre Show is always being brought to you by Italics
(00:23):
Fine Italian Dining in Lexington, Billy. When I came into
the studio this morning, there was a half drink coke
can that said share a coke with dude. So I'm
not sure if that was like intentionally left there for
me like they were whoever left it was leaving like
the rest the other half of the coke for me,
or if they just didn't pick up after themselves. I'm
(00:43):
gonna guess it's probably they just didn't pick up after themselves,
because that's usually the way it goes around here.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
But I couldn't help but notice that, and I didn't drink.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I didn't take a drink out of it, because you know,
you don't drink after other people.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Bill Well, I like to think Dwight Whitten just had
a coke and took a swig and then decided he
wanted to share it with you.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
You know there was a time where coke put the
names or put names on their bottle, and so if
you they're doing that, you had to share.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
A coke, that's right, Yeah, Yeah, that's that's that's part
of the same campaign that they're bringing batcha.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Kind of a smart thing though, right, because even if
you don't want coke and it says share a coke
with Billy, You're like, you feel like you've got to
buy that coke because it has your name on it.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, no, exactly. It's kind of like you go to
the keychain store and you look for through all the
keychains to see if your name is normal enough to
be made into one. Did you have all those when
you were a kid? I had one? Oh yeah, yeah,
of course, but there weren't a ton of Williams. It
was more Billies that I had to get. But I've
never had a problem drinking after somebody. Shannon, you might
find that a little gross or weird, but you know,
(01:44):
I've never had an issue. I never had to waterfall
a drink after somebody drank it. I would just say, hey,
you know what, you're just sharing a coke. I'd like
to have some.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, I'm I'm not drinking a coke after somebody, but like,
you know, if it's if it's uh, let's say it's
some silk velvet whiskey and somebody has like a you know,
sip they've taken off of it, I might, you know,
take a sip off of it because I'm going it's alcohol.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
It'll burn all the germs away.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I don't know if that's true or not, but that's
how I rationalize it in my mind.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well, they say, you know, you can put a little
whiskey or bourbon on a wound and killed the germs.
I did have to have an intervention once, as I
was a frequent double dipper. People apparently frown on double.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
No, you can't be that guy at the party. You know,
you take a chip, you dip it in there, you
take a bite off of it.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I still got more shape.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Know, you got to go off the other side that
you haven't touched it or you haven't bitten.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Off of You can't be that guyer name. I'm not anymore.
I'm not anymore Shannon. I'm a I've grown up. But yeah,
that was a thing that I've learned that you can't
do too much or people are gonna get mad.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yesterday's KSR show, Billy felt it felt like an old
school show for me. Matt was here in the studio,
hit me made a rare appearance in Louisville. And you know,
if you're a longtime listener, that's the way we used
to always do the show, you know, nine times out
of ten the back in the old days before ks
BARR was a thing, Matt would be in the Lobal
studio with me, and then Ryan and Drew would be
(03:05):
in Lexington and that's how we would do the show
every day. So having Matt in here kind of kind
of felt like one of those one of those old school.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Shows for us yesterday.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
But the interrupting the callers ends today, all right, So
if you're calling in today, all I could say to
you is good luck. You probably aren't gonna get a
word in on the show, but well, yeah we'll let
you talk here on the pre show though, eight five
nine to eight twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
It'll be a triumphant day of cutting off callers for Matt.
I'm sure he's waited patiently. Did we get Bob and
Jamestown in the first segment?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
The first segment, we never seched calls in the first segment,
Matt took Bob and Jamestown and let him speak his
peace during the first segment.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
You know, I didn't hear a ton of the show
yesterday because I was running around like a chicken with
its head cut off, trying to help with the technical difficulties.
But about the one minute or thirty seconds I did
hear of the show yesterday, was you singing the alphabet song? Yeah,
the letter m the munch Munch munch letter m I'm
glad Mom starts with him, or something like I'm glad.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You caught that, because that was that was the highlight
of the show as far as concern.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Now, did you have the letter people here?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Here's well, first of all, before I ask you about that,
the reason all this thing, this conversation came up, was
because Matt was talking about driving around in Louisville yesterday
and there was like kindergarten graduations going on, and he's
very anti kindergarten graduation, because his thing was, you haven't
learned anything yet, you haven't accomplished anything. And my argument was, well, yeah,
(04:28):
you have. You learned your colors in kindergarten. You also
learned your letters because of the letter people. And I
mentioned the letter people on KSR and they all looked
at me like I had three heads, like what are
you talking about?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
And you know, Matt's a.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Little bit older than me, Drew's a little bit younger
than me, Ryan's a lot older than me. So I
didn't expect Ran to know what the letter people were.
But I was kind of surprised that Drew or Matt
neither one of them knew what the letter people are.
I thought everybody grew up with the letter people. Did
you grow up with the letter people in kindergarten?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Not, Shannon, And I had to Google to make sure
that I that I knew what you were talking about
or not. I do remember in kindergarten, like learning my
letters in the letters having faces on them, but none
of the letters had songs like that, Shannon. We would
have a day where like the entire day, you know,
the letter of the day would be M and so
we'd work with things that you know, start with them,
(05:21):
and that's how you learn. But I mean, it sounds
like that's kind of where you got your your love
of singing from. Was the Letter People?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
You No, I don't think that was it.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I think it just transitioned from Letter People to Stone
Temple Pilot.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
It is just weird, like how certain things you remember because.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
You could ask me.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
You could ask me something about that, you know, what
did you do yesterday? And I might remember, you know,
eighty percent of it, but there's another twenty percent that
I've already forgotten about that happened yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yet I can.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Remember the song from when I was six or seven
years old, just like it's just there, like I can
just recall it at any time. And I haven't thought
about that in probably thirty years, but yesterday, bring up
the Letter People and I've got that song that's that's
in my head for my childhood.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
It's kind of crazy how your brain works.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
It is weird what we remember. And I tell you
one thing that's present in my mind often, and that
was my grade school graduation Shannon. Let me tell you
how much it meant to be as a kid. It
wasn't even like that, Shannon. Twice a year the school
would honor us with an award ceremony for everybody that
was on the principal's list or on the honorall So
(06:26):
whether you made all a's or all a's and b's,
and so they'd call your name, you'd walk up, you
get a little certificate, and you'd sit down and to
the you know, to the Matt Joneses of the world,
that maybe we need to do less of that. And
that's just for the parents. But let me tell your
fourth grade billy going up there to get his principals
lists certificate. We'll always remember that and looking into the
(06:47):
crowd and finding my parents. Man, it was a special moment.
It was so don't I'm gonna I'm gonna say a
cow quote here. You're not gonna steal my joint, Matt.
These events are not for you. They are for are
the parents and for the kid. You are not going
to steal our joy in poo poo. The grade school
graduations now preschool, yeah, I mean you're just breathing in
(07:10):
and just picking boogers out of your nose, right like
that's more of daycare.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yep, But what are you doing in kindergarten.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Well, like kindergarten in grade school, you're starting to figure
things out. You've got to have some social skills so
you don't get kicked out of the school. So I
think you are starting to learn a little bit.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I was just giving Matt the other argument.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I don't necessarily disagree with Matt that kindergarten graduation is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I mean, I kind of agree with them.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I was just trying to present the Devil's advocate, you know,
side of things when I was talking about the letter
people and you know, learning your colors. So let me
ask you this, billy, what do you think is the
earliest grade we should have a graduation for? I think
I think we may have had like an eighth grade graduation.
I think we did, But I never had like a
preschool I never went to preschool to begin with. I
(07:52):
never had a kindergarten graduation or a fifth grade graduation.
I think I did have eighth grade. What do you
think is the earliest we should have graduations?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I think like third, fourth, fifth grade is a good
time where recognizing achievements means a lot to the kids
I do. I mean, kindergarten may be a little young.
And then people were posting pictures of their kids in
their graduation ceremonies and they've got you know, they're five
years old. They got robes on, Shannon. Like, that's a
little much. I get that.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
But the diploma's in their hands, the diploma.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
And they're like on the steps of a big building
like they've gone out of their.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Way to do it. They got a diploma in their hand.
They can't even read it.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Listen, you know, I'm pulling out the cell phone during
stressful situations. That's just the new generation of parents, right.
They want to get the photo ops. They want to
have these memories and they'll thank themselves fifty years from
now when they do have these memories. But yeah, I'm
thinking like third or fourth grade. I think third grade
is when they started doing multiplication table Shannon. And if
you can multiplication tables, I think you do deserve a
(08:47):
little credit.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Come on, though, just because you know you're well, I mean,
I know Ryan's still working on his eightes, but you
really think that because you can multiply, that you deserve
to get a capping gown. See my answer would be probably,
I mean, really, in all honesty, probably high school, because
that feels like you've accomplished middle school.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
You're not gonna do a little old more ceremony. Like
does anybody not make it to high school? Sure? Sure, yeah,
I'm sure there's some dropouts even before.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I mean, I know, my grandparents back in the nineteen
thirties only went to eighth grade, you know, and back
then it was a big deal to get a you know,
to go to high school. My thing is like, yeah,
you deserve a diploma for graduating high school, but do
you really deserve a diploma for getting by the eighth grade?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I don't think so. I think even our middle school
graduation was kind of, you know, ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
A lot of dumb kids out there shaming. It's a
good grade. It is an accomplishment for that.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I mean, you know, if I'm getting a diploma, it's like, okay,
this is where you peak out.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Okay, and at eighth grade, that's it, that's where you're
going to peak.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Well, I mean you get a diploma, right, and then
you know, there's a few people that get to be
lucky enough to go to college, right, Like I was
the first person I think in my family that graduated college,
and that was a big deal. But you know, getting
I thought, like getting to high school isn't that big
of a deal. Like if if you accomplished getting by
the eighth grade, I don't think it's that big of
a deal that you need to go through a ceremony
(10:12):
and get a diploma because you made it to freshman
year of high school.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I was doing ceremonies in second grade, and I did
appreciate it. But like you know, a lot of times
you graduate fifth and you go to a new school.
Right you graduate eighth and then you go to a
new school. It's not like that everywhere, but you know,
and they want to recognize your achievements for the years
that you've been there.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
It was a good sports radio topic. Matt comes in
hot with his hatred of kids, and you know me, Shannon,
I'm not I don't fall far from that tree, but
I do remember my freaking second second grade graduation. So
I'm gonna have to be on the other side here.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Okay, So I want to transition to this. I don't
really know how to make the transition. But Bill Belichick
was on Good Morning American Morning graduating. There you go,
that's the transition speaking of kids that just graduated high school,
Jordan Hudson and her boy toy.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Bill Belichick. He was on Good Morning America this morning.
That's right, it's today.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
If you watch it, I did. It was about ten
minutes long. The interview with Michael Strahan tell me, well,
it was kind of honestly boring until like the last
probably forty five seconds. He finally gets in, Like in
the last minute of the interview, he finally kind of
tries to tread lightly and ask about his personal life,
and there was sort of an awkward moment. I feel like,
(11:28):
and I don't know if this is going to translate
on the air on the radio or not.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
But you can watch you've got audio oka.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah, but here it is.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I want to play this for you, so so mute
your your teams on the Yeah, you could do it, Okay,
So here it is. This is Bill Belichick being asked
about Jordan Hudson on Good Morning America This morning.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Oh it's there. So what did Jordan mean to you?
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Well, we have good personal relationship. And you know I'm
not talking about personal relationships, Michael.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
You know that, Okay, I know that could well I'm
saying Are you happy?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah? Can you look happy?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I never thought I thought i'd seen you doing yoga.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Only only happy people do yoga. It was sort of
a I feel like Bill's face kind of turned red
a little bit when he started getting asked about Jordan Hudson. This,
this whole story fascinates me. But it wasn't that. It
wasn't nearly as good as well I thought it was
going to be, because mostly it was about his book
and his coaching career. Nobody cares too much for that
(12:24):
interview too exactly. And she wasn't there, which is probably
a good choice for all parties.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
In she wasn't off screen, and she was not there
this morning. Now, you know, that photo is incredible, that
yoga photo on the beach. I think there is part
of me that believes Bill Belichick never knew that that
photo was posted and circulated online the way that it did,
going megaviral, right, But there is no way that he
doesn't know about the you know, the storm that this
(12:52):
story has become at this point, right, I mean, you
have to. He's one of the greatest coaches of all time.
He has to have the awareness that this story is
not good for his legacy, you know, for North Carolina,
for everything that he's got going on right now. So
we're in damage control right now. And in the final
parts of that interview, when he's finally asked about Jordan Hudson,
(13:13):
I'm sure he did his face did get a little
red and got a little embarrassed that he had to
talk about it even more. I'm sure there's a lot
of love between him and Jordan, but I've seen reports
that she was around the Patriots facility for a couple
of years Shannon when he was still there. I mean,
this is this is somebody that he possibly met at
nineteen years old, which is legal on an airplane. But
I can understand why they don't want to talk about that.
(13:35):
It's just been a lightning rod of a story for
people like us, right because everybody seems to have an
opinion on it. And it sounds like his former teammate
Michael Strahan was throwing softballs too.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
He was trying to like trying to tread lightly, trying
to bring it up, but he knew that it was
going to be like a sensitive subject. Soon as he
started talking about her. Bill Belichick kind of shut down.
He's very like yep, yes, and then the line, only
happy people do yoga, Coach, have.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
You ever done that on the on the beach done
a couple of yoga with the significant other?
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I haven't either.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I have not done that.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I'm still on my body app that I'm working out
on every day, which working which, by the way, last night, Yeah,
I've challenged you to come work out with me and
do one of these which, by the way, I finished
last night the Lift More program eight weeks. I'm finished
with it now. But I'm telling you I feel great,
feeling great. But I'm telling you, uh, this guy that
leads these these workouts, like the guy that's you know,
(14:34):
come on, you got it all right?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Four more?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I'm telling you my conspiracy theory is this guy is
not lifting nearly as many pounds of weight that he
that he puts on.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I do not believe this.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Oh you think he's got fake weights?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yes, I'm saying this guy had he's working out with
foam weights. Because we're doing the I'm doing these workouts,
and he's doing the workouts and he's lifting more weight
than I am, and he's over here talking through the
entire workout.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
He's not out of breath or anything.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
And I'm over here, Billy, for my life, just trying
not to have a heart attack, Like, don't, don't even
try to talk to me, because I can't even get
a word out. This guy's over here doing more weight
than I am the same exercise and is talking through
the entire thing. And my conspiracy theory is he's got
foam weights. There's no way I'm not buying that this
guy is in that much better shape than me. So
(15:20):
is there any is there any chance, Billy, that we're
being fooled by these people that we, you know, work
out with on these apps, because I don't I don't
believe this guy can lift that many weights, that heavy
of weight and be able to talk through the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
That's interesting. I've seen some of these fake weights where
it looks exactly like a real one and it can
be fake. But you know, I don't want to call
this guy's integrity And I mean, well, now you're calling
out I.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Hate this guy, Joel Freeman. He talks through the whole thing.
He makes these corny jokes, and I'm like, I'm not
in your I'm not in the mood for your jokes, Joel.
I just I just want to work out and get
into shape. And here's the good thing about this workout, Billy.
You do it, of two things will happen. Either you
get in the best shape of your life or you'll
dropped out of a heart attack. And I'm nearly had
(16:05):
seven heart attacks in this workout, but I got through it.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
But it feels like a little like a peloton class,
or you've got an instructor and you've got to follow along.
But Shannon, I'd love to join you for one of
these workouts. That's that's uh, that's not smoking mirrors. I'd
love to join you for that.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I would love to see if you can get through
one of these.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Well I can. The problem is is that, like I
like to sit on my phone after Oh see, that's me.
That was that was always my problem with working out.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
You go to the gym, you you bust out a
few reps, you look at your phone, your buddy walks by,
you start talking to them.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Ye. Next thing you know, ten minutes has gone by
and you're like, oh, yeah, I need to work out
some more.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
This thing. You're in and out in forty minutes, like.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
I've done an hour workout and maybe like twenty five
minutes of actual work and yeah, you know what I mean,
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
So and this guy doesn't give you, like any time
to breathe, Like there's no like you're busting out twelve
reps and he's like, all right, let's go to the
next one.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Like wait a.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Minute, Like do I don't like that? I need to
pause it? You can, but I feel like that's kind
of cheating sometimes I have to though.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I'm like, got enough of this guy.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Already cheating with the fake weights, so you might as
well cheat back a little bit. But glad to hear
that you're you're through the program? Has it helped it all?
At OVW? Can you feel it a little bit?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah? I can.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah, you know, I train once a week at OVW,
but I can, you know, throw around a little bit
more weight than I used to. The main thing is
just feeling better. You get to a certain age, you
got to do it just for your own health, just
so you feel better. You get out of bed every day.
So okay, old man, Yeah, but anytime you want to
come and join me, the invitation's always there. Eight five
nine twenty two eighty seven We're going to take a break.
(17:31):
We'll be right back, and we got to talk Kentucky
baseball last night. Man, what a brutal way to lose
one against Bandy. We'll talk about that to lead off
the next segment coming up. Right, we are back. It
is the KSR pre show. Well Third Out Blind right there.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yeah, it feels like I'm in the nineties.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
It was fun over it was fun opening up for them,
but I didn't get to actually meet them, which I
thought was kind of a little downer. They're gonna be
playing Bourbon and Beyond Fest though, coming up in Louisville,
so be able get to meet them them.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I was there. I left two songs in after Third
Eye Blind started. I was there to see Shannon the
Dude and Alice Lougan.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I appreciate that, all right, So Kentucky last night, Man,
what a way to lose the Yeah, they were up
the entire game looked like they had the game under
control against number nine ranked Vanderbilt. They're up seven to five.
Bottom of the ninth, two strikes, two outs, two on,
(18:27):
and the Vandy player hits a three run homer to
walk it off and Bandy wins eight to seven. That's yeah,
that's one of the more brutal losses I've seen in
a long long time. But they got one more or
actually two more next games tonight. I don't know if
they're going to try to move that up or I
know we got some bad weather coming in, so there's
a chance they may try to move that game up today,
(18:47):
but I think it's right now. Schedule for seven o'clock
tonight for Game two.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Caught the beginning of the game. I mean Kentucky scored
three or four runs before they even had an out.
I mean they was five to zero in the end
of the first setting, and these guys were making a statement.
I mean, Vandy's a team number nine in the country,
who if they were to win all three games versus Kentucky,
would put themselves in the conversation to host a regional
So I mean they are they've got something to play for,
(19:12):
just as Kentucky does. But heartbreaking. And we've seen this
a couple times this year, right, We've seen some true
gut punch losses for the Kentucky baseball team this year.
You know, they really need probably one more win to
feel confident about making that NCAA tournament pool. They'll have
the SEC tournament in Hoover next week. But I actually
posted a video this morning from that game at Billy
(19:34):
R Sports where Ryan Schwartz got hit in the temple
last night.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Did you happen to see that part?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I saw it and he just shrugged it off like
no big deal, just took his base.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Unbelievable. I mean, he just spun around and then looked
at the guy on the mound. Thank god, like that
wasn't a couple of inches over or like hit him
directly on the face. That could have been a messy scene.
But he got hit and then just looked and stared
right through the pitcher.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
That was a pretty badass moment. Was you hit me
in the temple? I'm calling for the trainer, possibly an
ambulance if you hit me in the temple with a
ninety six mile an hour fastball. He takes one right
there and just like what that's supposed to hurt?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
What you're gonna do?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
You're gonna have to call Joel to get me up
off the ground after that.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, I think you're right, though, I mean, well, I
think Kentucky is in as of right now. I think
even if they were to get swept and lose the
next two games they're in, but you're right to be
to feel comfortable about it. I think you need one
more so maybe they can. Hopefully they can get that
later on today.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
But hopefully these close games, I mean they help them
in the postseason this year. I mean, they're gonna be
no stranger to the pressures of winter go home and
so you know, they they've got some good starters, but
you know, the bullpen's got to improve. Tyler Bell has
just been magnificent this year. So when he came up
with the bases loaded and won out and grounded into
(20:49):
a double play, you can't fault the guy too much
for it. But you know, I've got confidence in Minjion Man.
You remember his back was against the wall, he was
on the hot seat, and then he I think they're
about to make their third straight in tournament. So you know,
best of luck for this team moving forward, and another
big two big games left versus Andanerd.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I'll be watching those two. Will you be watching any
of the Preakness on Saturday? No?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I mean yeah, because I'm trying to get into horse racing,
Shannon and be that guy but like, because the derby
winner is not racing, what interest do I have it
to the casual horse race?

Speaker 1 (22:41):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Seems like it's like the studio's on fire in the
last couple of days.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
All you can do is laugh about it. Eight five, nine,
two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. At Shannon the Dude
at Billy r Sports on Twitter, David Wright sen It
says it's funny that Shannon and Matt we were not parents.
The way they fill about graduations, you'd probably have a
different opinion if you had kids of your own, life
is different as a parent. Look, there's no doubt. I
do not doubt that life is different as a parent.
(23:07):
But do I think that we should celebrate every time
they graduate or move on from one grade to another.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Should we have a graduation for it?
Speaker 2 (23:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I wouldn't want to do that.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Billy, if you had a kid, would you want to
go to your kids kindergarten graduation?
Speaker 3 (23:21):
If it's my own kid, yes, If you're dragging me
to somebody else's kids graduation, no, I mean I'm gonna
try to get out of there as quickly as possible.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
See, I'm gonna explain to my kid, Look, you got
their graduation. That's great, but you didn't accomplish anything.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
WHOA, that's what you're.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Gonna tell your kids.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I'm gonna say, Look, you've got a long road ahead
of you. You've got a bright future. We're gonna opt
out of the kindergarten graduation, all right. My kid's gonna
be a badass. It's gonna opt out of the kindergarten graduation.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
It's gonna go.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I don't need this, all right, we don't have time
for graduations. Get back in the pumpkin field, little dude.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Yeah, I'm gonna teach us something. Teach us in real
life lessons instead of kindergarten graduation. Corey, he writes in
before we get to you. Uh, he said, I had
a fifth and eighth grade graduation that they played I
Believe I Can Fly by R. Kelly at my fifth
grade graduation. That didn't age. Well, No, it did not, Corey,
it did not at all.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
What a great song. That was great for momentous occasions
like graduations. There's still or eat from listeners. On the
text line five O two two six five six six
five six, one person says the wrestler who throws fake
punches is getting awfully triggered by a guy using fake weights.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Wow, okay, fake punches. No, those punches are real. You
step in the ring. I mean you're gonna get hit
in the phase. I don't know how to throw a
fake punch, So when I'm throwing a punch into the
wrestling ring, you're getting potatoed.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I'll tell you what. The chair wasn't fake when you
get that out in underneath the ring.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Top of the that there are the punches.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
By the way, the punches are a little held back.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Let's say, what's this okay.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Another person says, any graduation before high school is unnecessary.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
That's what I'm saying. Before high school, it's unnecessary. So
we can't celebrate accomplishments until we're eighteen.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Oh no.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
This person goes on to say, all these people who
have graduations before that grow up soft like Billy.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Oh stop, I didn't know I was getting called out.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
In the same text, those unnecessary graduations have created a
weak generation of Americans.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
That's from an anonymous generation Americans. Anonymous. Yes, yeah, good thing.
You didn't put your name on it, anonymous. There's the
tea break. There's the text right there, regeneration like Billy,
give me a break, eight five, nine, twenty two eighty seven.
Let's go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Let's talk to Robert. What's up, Robert? How are you?
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Hey? Guys? As far as the baseball team goes, I
don't I don't think there's anything to worry about. I
think they're in THEANCYC this year. You've got ten teams
that played Missouri and you got five that didn't. So
when you take those Missouri wins that everybody's got out,
the Cats record looks a lot better. Uh, those three
(25:59):
wins except for Texas A and M that they got
it are just you know, it really bounces out everything
if you take out the Missouri wins the right guy.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah, if you read the the Joe Lonardies of baseball
out there, from everything that I've read, bracketology, yeah, they
have bracketology for everything now. But from everything that I've read,
they are in as of right now, projected to be in.
But yeah, I mean it would be good to grab
one against the number nine team in the country. Yeah,
so if they you know, last night gave me a
(26:28):
little bit of hope, even though Vandy was throwing a
guy that they hadn't started all year a freshman.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
But we'll see what happens later.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
I couldn't Okay, see you guys, Yep, thanks.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
For the call, Robert.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Thanks. Yeah, it's unbelievable. They may make the NCAA tournament
and be below five hundred and SEC play just kind
of goes to show you how good that conference is.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
We've been talking a lot about baseball this week with
the Pete Rose stuff with Kentucky baseball, and I wanted
to talk about this on Monday. We just ran out
of time, and we've had a form of this conversation before, Billy.
But I was watching a game the other day, Major
League Baseball, and I was thinking, you know, my like
knowledge of a lot of Major League Baseball only goes
(27:06):
back to like my childhood, so you know, nineteen ninety
two forward. And I started thinking about, like all these
old baseball players that have you know, long since passed on,
like Babe Ruth, these guys that hold all these records.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Jack.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I started thinking, like, you know, the game of baseball
has evolved a lot over the years, But how fast
were pitchers throwing back in Babe Ruth's day? And I
looked it up, and on average they were throwing eighty five,
which is a big difference from today. By the way,
the average pitch today in Major League Baseball is ninety
five miles an hour.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
You know, ninety five is the average average?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yes, okay, And you know pitchers, of course, have you know,
better breaking balls and just just better pitchers overall in general.
But it got me to thinking, could Babe Ruth be
a good player in today's game?
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Like if you took Babe Ruth and you gave.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Them access to all the things that Major League Baseball
players have today?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Would he still be a Hall of Famer?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
And I read an article that was sort of debating
why he wouldn't be good. I sort of have the
opposite opinion of that, Billy, But what's your opinion. Could
a guy like Babe Ruth, Let's say you took him,
you gave him access to everything that Major League baseball
players have today, that includes nutrition.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I know, like the big argument was, Babe Ruth was
a fat guy.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
And did you know that, according to like the stories
of Babe Ruth, he would sit in the dugout and
drink a six pack of coke or soda in every game?
Speaker 4 (28:34):
No?
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I did not know that, Like, you wouldn't be doing
that in today's game, right, everything's about health.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Nutrition.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
But do you think that Babe Ruth, if he had
access to all the things that the players have today, bats,
the whole thing, do you think he could be a
Hall of Famer today?
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Wow, that's an interesting question because your caveat of you know,
the nutrition aspect of it, the like the modern facilities.
Could he turn into somebody that could be a Hall
of Fame er? Sure, but that doesn't guarantee success, right,
I mean I think of a guy in a different sport,
like Zion Williamson, who I mean, He's got all the
facilities and the people telling him what to do, but
(29:11):
he's still fat, Shannon, Like, he still can't get to
a point where he can stay healthy and stay on
the court. So it doesn't guarantee success, no, But you know, like,
is the babe putting up the same numbers if Pedro
Martinez is throwing a ninety two mile per hour slider
in his face? Shannon, You know, I don't think so.
I mean, the babe, the Great Bambuino, he played in
(29:32):
a time where blacks didn't play, when Hispanics weren't playing.
I mean, it was a completely different time. So I
think if you just dropped him in today's game, he'd
be a lot worse than what we saw. But you
know that's a little unfair to the babe, right, because
everything evolves, and naturally you go back and watch a
basketball game from the eighties, Shannon, You're like, it looks
(29:53):
like a different sport. They're dribbling up here, you know
what I mean, Like they wouldn't survive in today's age.
So I don't think it's you know, it's only babe
that would struggle if he were in the modern age.
But could he become somebody that that it had some discipline,
didn't smoke cigars, didn't drink cokes in the dugout. Yeah,
he could become into a Hall of Famer. But if
(30:14):
you were to just say take him as he is,
would he find success in the league today? And I
would probably say no.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Well, see, I would agree with you on that.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Like if you took out of shape Babe Ruth from
back then when there was not really a big emphasis
on fitness and they weren't really paying attention to what
they were putting in their body, then yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
He would be too slow. He wouldn't be able to
run the bases.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
You know, I don't think that Babe Ruth back then,
you drop him in today's game would be very successful.
But again, let's just assume that he's not going to
be overweight, and then he still has the same hand
eye coordination, Billy. I mean to me, that's what it
comes down to. Do you have the hand eye coordination
to hit a baseball? Babe Ruth clearly had that. So
(30:57):
I think that even though pitches are a lot fatter,
straw on average than they wore back then. I think
that he would still have the raw talent to be
able to succeed in the game today.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Give him some new equipment, maybe a new torpedo bat.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Yeah, bay Ruth is a torpedo bat.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Come yeah. So you know there are some things that
could translate through generations. Sure, and and for him to
be considered one of the best baseball players of all time,
he had to have.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
That talent, right, so naturally you think they could translate.
And that was the biggest argument was that he was
out of shape. Okay, we'll whip them into shape. You know,
I don't think he's going to be on the team.
You know, like there's a few exceptions, I guess over
you know, the last thirty years, you know of guys
that were just out of shape that were baseball mov on.
Big dude, Big Poppy. Big Poppy was probably in better
(31:44):
shape than what you thought.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
But he was a Mets pitcher. Bartolo Cologne a home
run that was like a national story there for.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
A week after he did. David Wells out a beer belly.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
David Wells just hung over the day he threw his
perfect game. You haven't seen that story.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, so so my consensus is, yes, Babe
Ruth would still be a Hall of Famer if he
had access to everything that players have access to today.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
I like to think if Elie de la Cruz went
back to the nineteen thirties or twenty Shannon and what
they think about him.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yeah, that would even be fair. But I'd be like.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
An alien coming down. And some of the things that
he can do on a baseball diamond. I mean, he's
got the records for like the fastest ball speed, you know,
throwing from the outfield or from shortstops. So it's incredible
what he's been able to do. And the Red still
can't win.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
All right, So I'm looking forward to this next call.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
You know, yesterday, Billy, we had Tristan come on and
give you a tarot card reading.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
And Tristan's back again.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Today he's back and he's I think he's got another
tarot card that he's gonna flip over.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Is this going to be for me today, Tristan? Is
that what we're doing?
Speaker 6 (32:48):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Yeah, this one's for you. But first I wanted to
back up and say I looked at my notes and
the day after the Oakland game yesterday. I actually pulled
a card called the Hangedman, and it depicts a person
hanging upside down by their feet, and it's all about
how you should get a new perspective in order to
ford forward and be happy.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Okay, all right, well general enough. I guess that worked, Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Yeah, okay, got it. Okay, So what's so what's my
car today?
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Yes, I've got to go in for you today. And
it's just going to take this one second. So I'll
pull the three of one's and if you want to
look on Google is the three of ones. Put the
word writer R A D E R will pull the
right one anyway. So the this is a little bit
about transition, and I think this is gonna be perfect
for you, Shannon. So the Ace of Ones is about,
you know, it's like regular playing cards ace up through
ten than face.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Cards ones or ones.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Like one W A N D S one one.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
A one anyway. So the Ace of Ones is about
you know, the it's a fire symbolism. It's about you know,
it's a it's a picture of a hand coming from
heaven saying here, take this fire energy and make it
the light and guide of your life and actions. The
two of ones is about a person standing on like
the edge of the castle, looking out over the world,
and that is like your preparation. You're getting ready to
(34:03):
walk out into the world. The three of ones, this
is the one I pulled for you today, Shannon. I
think this is perfect for you because this is a
person standing on the river. He's holding onto a one
that is attached to the ground, but he's looking out
thinking about his future. And so I apply it to
you this way. So you have been a rock DJ
for twenty years, you are comfortable in that career, you
are you are grounded in that way. However, you're now
(34:24):
with a rock band with Alice Blueground. You guys are
putting out original music. You know in your own way.
If you're probably thinking about trying to go on tour,
trying to do something with that band. But yet you
are still firmly rooted in your world today because you
know it's safe, it's comfortable, but you want to go
out and do something else. And so the three of
one's is that calling to go out and do something
(34:46):
else with your life. Because the four of ones is
about the completion the attainment of that act. So I
think you're standing on the precipice ready to jump, but
are you there yet? And that's the question that the
three of Wanes ask you today.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Wow, that is very insie pull trusting, much better than
Billy's feminine card that you pulled yesterday.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah. I was emotional and feminine and Shannon's ready for
the future. Tristan, that does seem right.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Hey, he can't help it, man, the tarot does what
it does. He just pulled a card. That's right, trusting,
great call, Thank you for the call. We'll make you
the whiskey thing call of the day. We'll making the
whiskey thief call today.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Yeah, I call bs on that one. I mean, we
all got something we're looking forward to in the future,
Shannon and some of us just have brighter futures than others.
It's the three of ones. How did I get the
feminine card yesterday? The standing on the precipice and that's
just your Yeah, are you ready to quit this and
be a rock band lead singer?
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Bo I mean I can do both. I feel like
I've been doing both for the last three years.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Just fine.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Yeah, so well not not when you go big time,
and you start toring and that rider list becomes a
little bit harder to get.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Man, we're taking more bookings, by the way, so hit
us up if you want us to come play.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Well, we'll do the Kentucky tour. At least I can
stay close to home. Three of ones the ones.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
I thought he was saying the three of ones at first,
so I have to look that card up later. All right,
we're gonna take a break A five, nine, two, eight,
twenty two eighty seven. We're gonna go back to the phones.
Take your calls for the final segment of the KSR
pre show, The guide to making all parents upset, tell
them that their child's kindergarten graduation doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
And this song makes me sad. I was so soft
getting raised with graduations and awards ceremonies. What's wrong with
my generation?
Speaker 2 (36:26):
So we have opinions coming in on whether or not
Babe Ruth could succeed in today's game of Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
On the text line, I loved this one. One person
said Babe Ruth would get cut from the tryouts at
Tates Creek High School today.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
No, he wouldn't know, He wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
The baby you just put you just trans transplanting him
as he is today. I don't think he's getting cut.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
That's not the day though. No, we're gonna take Babe in.
We're gonna put him on a strict diet. We're gonna
get them into the weight room. He's gonna be a machine.
He's gonna be like a Abe's gonna be on body. Yeah,
he's gonna be working out on that. You're gonna be
eating salads. And don't tell me that Babe Ruth wouldn't
succeed in today's world. I don't believe it. A little
bit of football Billy, listen to the show on this
(37:08):
we're a hundred days away from college football and I
can't remember a quieter time ever in Kentucky football for
an offseason that what we've had this year. And you
can look at that, I guess from either side of
the coin. You can look at it as Okay, well
they're coming off a four and eight season, but they're
gonna be better this year. And Mark Stoops is just
reading the room. He realizes that nobody wants to hear
(37:30):
from him because fans are going to say, well, you know,
we'll believe it when we see it, so maybe that's
the reason that he's being quiet, or you can look
at it on the other side of the coin and go,
he's being quiet because he realizes this team is in
a lot of trouble and it's going to be another
bad year, so he's not going to try to hype
up the team too much. Which side do you tend
to believe when it comes to why it's been so
(37:54):
quiet for the football team this offseason.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
I think it's a little bit of a little Wayne
Little John Caliperry, real geez moving silence like Lasagna. I
mean they you know, for a couple of years there
they were pounding their chests, talking about coaches doing their
TikTok dances and their sunglasses and and you know Stoops
is a victim of his own success, right, I Mean
the standard was Music City Bowls when he got here,
(38:16):
maybe even a little less than that. And now you've
got to win seven, eight, nine games before fans are satisfied.
But I think he's this is just kind of the
opposite of what they've done over the last couple of years.
I don't think it's Mark seeing the riding on the
wall or not thinking his team's talented enough, because these
guys are competitors. Man, They're passionate about what they do,
and I don't think they go into any situation thinking
(38:37):
that they've lost before they've even begun. So I just
think it's it's a natural correction after the chestiness of
the last couple of years. But I'm not gonna lie
and act like I'm not worried, Shannon. I mean, you
guys were talking about Toledo the other day, and.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, if we're the game that is, if we're not
worried about Toledo and Vanderbilt, that shows you how far
the team has fallen back down.
Speaker 5 (38:57):
You know.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
That sounds like conversation we were having during the joke
or Phillips Sarah and.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Old Miss is gonna be ready to go? And Kentucky
essentially knocked them out of the playoffs last year with
their wins, So I mean, it's gonna be an interesting
first couple weeks of the year, and then you know,
if they can get through that, we maybe one in
one to a zero in a in a in a dream,
then then maybe we can start to get excited again.
But I'm with you, it's kind of wait and see
if this.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Stoops is kind of in the situation to where if
he talks, fans are just gonna criticize it and go,
we don't believe it, And then when he doesn't talk,
we go, why isn't he talking?
Speaker 3 (39:30):
It's a tough Yeah, he's he's.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Kind of like in a damned if he does, damned
if he doesn't type situation, because if he's not talking,
we're wanting him to talk, and then he wanted When
he does talk, fans are going, we don't want to
hear it.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
You know, enough talk, Why don't you give us some results?
Speaker 6 (39:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (39:43):
And you know what helps with that is the millions
of dollars he makes every year.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
That's true. So that's true.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
I'm not going to lose too much sleep over you know,
Stoops being in a tough position with the media, No doubt.
I think these questions have been fair, you know what
I mean? Like that's it's not been good over the
last Real Quick over under four and a half wins
this season. I saw this over under I'm gonna go over.
But I don't know if they get to boiligibility Shannon,
I'm thinking five, it's the magic number. I'm kind of
(40:08):
I think stoop survives five. Yeah, I think he does too.
I don't think he survives four.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
I think that's a great line because I think four
he's out. Five it's just enough to hang on to
keep your job. Four is not accepted. Five's not not
acceptable really. But if he goes five and seven with
this schedule, I think he gets a pass four, there's
no way.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Let's go to logan. What's up Logan?
Speaker 6 (40:29):
Hey, guys, since you brought me in on it, I'm
gonna say he gets to stick. Don't ask me.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
Who he upsets.
Speaker 6 (40:35):
That's just kind of what I'm feeling.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
What I wanted to.
Speaker 6 (40:38):
Say, though, was I graduated with a degree in psychology,
and I also have my own child, so I'm going
to weigh in a little bit. I so my son,
for example, just registered for preschool. My wife is going crazy.
I'm like, yeah, you know, good for him, he's about
to start fourteen years of torture. But as are as
(41:00):
people undermining you know, kindergarten graduations, fifth grade, eight grade,
things like that, that's just such a mindset of a
heartened adult who has experienced kind of the lows and
transgressions of lives, where if you're in the place of
these five year olds, you're thinking, hey, I did it.
Like this is the greatest thing they've accomplished so far
(41:20):
because they've learned reading, writing, They've started going through processes
of eliminations and how to like work out lives problems,
and those are like fundamental, you know, skillful in it
for life.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
I hate to logan, we're at the end of the show.
I hate to cut you off, but but.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
That takes stuff Logan. That's that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
They're going to getting cut off no more. Uh Matt
Jones just letting people talk.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
Are you ready? He's gonna get to cut him off
today quick.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
Thanks for listening. See it
