Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody. It's the ksrpre Show Tuesday, May twentieth. I'm
Shannon the dude to be enjoined by Billy Relige and
you can give us a call on the Clark's Pupping
Shop phone line. As a matter of fact, I think
you should eight five nine two eighth twenty two eighty
seven be our whiskey Thief call of the day. It
also sent us a text at five two two six
five six six five six. KSR Pre Show is always
(00:22):
being brought to you by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington,
which is where Billy our Sports is right now in
the studio. Good morning, Billy, how are you?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I'm great, Shannon.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
It is great to be with you for another morning
and great to see you before. I guess we meet
again on Friday at the Mountain Laurel Festival, we'll have
our next live show. So excited for that and excited
for another great day.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
With you, buddy. Yeah, looking forward to that on Friday.
That's going to be a long hike for me. I
think that may be maybe doing a little overnight on
Thursday night before the show on Friday, but we'll look
forward to that. Coming up at the end of the week.
I think we got to start though yesterday, Billy, with
where KSR left off, and that was in London Kentucky,
(01:05):
where you know, we continue to see these just incredibly
devastating pictures from the tornado that came through over the weekend.
You know, a couple of thoughts, nothing you know, different
from really what we talked about yesterday, but it was
just great to see communities coming together and people from
outside of the London community coming in and helping out
(01:25):
where they could. And also good that you know, KSR
was able to be there talk to some of the
leaders and get some direction on like what they need
and where to take the items that they need, because
in a situation like this, I mean, it's it's utter chaos.
You know, people want to help, but they don't know
the best way to help. And I think we got
a lot of good information out of the show yesterday
(01:45):
in London and just just great to see everybody helping out.
The thing though that is just sad to see more
than almost more so than the homes destructed, is that
they had to bring in cameras, Billy, the police I
had to bring in cameras to scare away looters, people
who are actually going around and looting, going through people's
(02:07):
homes and personal belongings to steal. And you see this
every time there's some sort of disaster, you hear about looters.
But it's just it's sad that people want to come
in and pray on people who just lost everything and
a situation like what happened in London over the weekend, some.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Of the earth.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
If you ask me, going into these natural disaster zones
and looting people's broken houses, I liken it to the
people trying to scam my grandma Shandon. You know, those
people that call and say, hey, I need a thousand dollars.
You got to wire this now. I mean, these people
just praying on the people that are most vulnerable. It's terrible.
So them setting up cameras for looters was shocking to me.
(02:44):
You know, I'm actually really glad kiss Aar went because
it was really informative of what it's actually like. I mean,
not only is Mario sending images that are just jaw dropping,
but you know, Matt is able to do an interview
with a guy who lost his brother and his childhood home,
and the emotional pleas of the senators there and the
and the people who just had their houses torn apart.
(03:05):
It was, uh, you know, that's what makes me really
proud to be a part of KASR is that they're
they go to a situation like that and bring awareness.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
But it was really it was informative to me.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I mean, you know, these people don't need clothes because
they have you know, so many used clothes and they
have to wash them at that point. And you know
they've got for the most part water, but they need
things like work gloves and and tarp so they can
you know, they have they've got more weather coming, is
it tonight, chick today?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I mean they're just trying to pick the pick up
the pieces and now they've got to deal with more
of this. So, uh, just an unnecessary show yesterday by
Matt Ryan and Drew and and Mario really rounded it
out nicely at the end of the show, just talking
about how you know, life isn't promised and you know
it's not something that you should take for granted every
day it was it was it was an emotional day
(03:59):
and I I thought it was really nice those guys
were able to make it, you know, make it there
and tell us what was the story of what was happening, and.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Let's keep all these people in our thoughts continually going
forward to because the world that we live in, Billy,
it's a twenty four hour news cycle, right, Things are
talked about for the you know, the first couple of
days after something happens. If it's a big event like this,
sometimes it's gone, like I said, in twenty four hours.
But if it's something like this, it's talked about for
a couple of days, but then a week later it
(04:28):
kind of just fades away. But we got to keep
in mind that this isn't something that's going to be
fixed in a week. This is going to be something
that's going to take months, you know, years in some
cases to build back to where they were. So, you know,
just keep these people in your thoughts because they're going
to need your help, not just this week, but for
many many weeks to come as well.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
So taking about vacation one day and next they're picking
up the pieces. And Matt shared a stat about how
many natural disasters there's been since Andy Basher has taken office.
And you and you can't help but think, I mean,
my god, you know, what did you sign up for?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Andy?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
This is it's unbelievable what this state has been through
with tornado, alleys shifting, and and even we've gotten some
really bad floods. So it's it's tough. But you know,
we're Kentucky strong, Shannon, and we're going to support each other.
And that's what I love most about the state. But
you're exactly right. Just think about these these people that
were impacted by this, because this is not going to
(05:25):
be a uh this is not going to be a
short term thing.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
No, And I can tell you that from first experience.
I mean, I don't know if you've ever had any
tornado damage to your.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Own hurricane back in Florida, but never tornado.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, some of you might remember. I think it was
ninety six. We had a big tornado that came through
and Bullet County was right directly in its path, and
I remember my house getting hit. Now, it didn't get leveled, luckily,
but a lot of the houses did. But I can remember,
and you know, at the time it was it was
scary and wasn't funny. But now I can look back
(05:56):
on it now and kind of laugh at it. I
remember when this tornado came through. I was on the
baseball field. My dad grabs me and my mom when
you get in the truck and we're going to my
grandparents who have a basement at their house because at
my house we didn't have a basement.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
And we are driving in this little truck and my
dad is like, it feels like we are traveling five
miles an hour. We look behind us, Billy, we could
see this tornado and I don't know, like I'm bad
at like guestimating exactly how far that thing was behind us.
It felt like I was right on us. It was
probably I'm going to guess five, maybe six hundred yards
(06:33):
behind us. It was close. It was close, and we
are trying to outrun this tornado. We don't have far
to go, but it just felt like everything was going
in slow motion and I'm going to hit the gas
pedal and he's going I'm trying, and it felt like
we were getting sucked into a vacuum. It was like, gosh,
so yeah, it's traumatizing. Man, if you've been through a tornado,
if you've had you know, damage like back, you know
(06:55):
it was thirty thousand dollars I think worth of damage
that it did to my house, my parents out us.
But that was ninety six, so what double that now
with inflation, just to give you an idea on how
bad it was, but not nearly as bad as you
know some of the homes in Somerset. So I'm just saying,
like it is a very traumatizing experience. The crazy thing
about the one that hit our house was it like effect.
(07:17):
It blew out all the windows, you know, like stuff
was everywhere in the yards and in the neighbor's yards,
and you know, stuff was just as you can imagine,
all over the place. One room did not get affected,
and it was my It was my bedroom. The went
perfect exactly, not not one thing went off the shelf,
like nothing moved. It's so weird how these things hit,
(07:38):
Like the randomness of it, Like how could it hit
a house and have every room have windows blown out
except for one which was on the top level, by
the way, top level bedroom. Nothing moved in my bedrooms
like it was untouched, But the rest of the house
was an absolute disaster.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
That's bizarre because I've seen tornadoes, you know, level subdivisions,
but like maybe the street right across it will be fine.
And it's like that's the you know, that's just kind
of what tornadoes do. But the same house in the
room is untouched. That is a little odd.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
You think about these situations and you think it'll never
be me, right, like, I won't be the one in
these situations until it actually happens and you hear these
sirens and and you know, I do want to commend
the all the weathermen out there that you know, they
treat it like their super Bowl and they're on for
twenty four and forty eight hours at a time, and
guys like Mark Weinbrenner or Weinberg Louisville, they get a
(08:32):
lot of crap, you know, and people are like, hey,
I mean I just got a little wind in Louisville,
you know, kind of what the hell? You made a
big fuss out of this for nothing? And then a
couple hours later there's towns that are absolutely leveled. So
it's not an easy situation and you don't think it's
going to be you until it actually happens. And it's
just devastating to see that this keeps happening in our state.
And so, you know, like you said, I've thoughts and
(08:53):
prayers with everybody that's been affected, and hopefully you know,
when it dies down, you can get out there and
help with the recovery as well, because I'm sure that
you can make an impact.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Hey five, nine, two, eight oh twenty two eighty seven
will take your calls as we go throughout the show.
The other I guess big sports news right now, Billy
for Kentucky. Is Kentucky Baseball down in Hoover, Alabama taking
out of Oklahoma. Yeah, it's a two pm start. It's
a single elimination game. So the thing is right now,
the Cats are projected to be in the NC DOUBLEA Tournament.
(09:24):
But you know, if I'm Benji one, I think I'm
gonna throw my best picture that I've got available right now.
You know I'm not leaving anything to chance. I think
you you know you would like to get at least
one win in the SEC SEC tournament, And I'm gonna
go ahead if I'm Benji on and throw my best
pitcher number one, to try to get the win and
secure a spot in the NC DOUBLEA Tournament, regardless of
(09:47):
what the projections have. Number two. If you throw your
best guy, now you got more rest for the NC
DOUBLEA tournament as opposed to throwing your three, four, five
guy today and then you know, starting your ace or
your number two guy the game. I think you throw
your best right now and you know, let him get
some rest with the NCAA tournament ahead.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Well, I think it's a little bit of a quitter's mentality.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
If you were to throw your fourth or fifth best
pitcher today, you know, is it tough to improve your
seating in the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Probably you'd probably have to win more than one game.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
But these are competitors, right, They wake up and think
about how they're going to get better each and every
day and how they're going to achieve their ultimate dreams.
So I always thought it was weird, like week seventeen
or eighteen, I guess in the NFL, and you know
they rest the starters, right, they've already clinched the playoff spot.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
It's like a load managementek load managem.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Well, yeah, that's also though a part you know, to
prevent injury as well. Right, you don't want you don't
want your QB if you're already in the playoffs, Why
do you want your QB going out there for a
game that's meaningless at the.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Why start Tyler Bell today? You know why I throw
your best picture?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I mean because I don't think because in this situation,
I don't think it's meaningless.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Well that's what I meant. I'm certain that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
It's like, I think that there's a lot to the
psyche and a mindset of a team. And if you
were to go out there and say, hey, we're just
mailing this one in, yeah, you know, I think that
trickles down from the top.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah. I mean, if Kentucky were like a one seed
going into the NCAA tournament, I would say, Okay, whatever,
don't don't worry about it. It doesn't matter. You're already locked in,
you know, to a good seat. You know, there's a
chance they could improve their seeding if they make a
run here in the SEC tournament, right, So as you want.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
To keep momentum going right, like, you don't want to
go in cold, you know, so you want to play
as best as you can and hopefully down in Hoover, Alabama,
it's a long stay for our guy, Darren. This will
be the second game of the day, so it's a
little weather dependent. So we assume around a one forty
five pre game start with the two pm start. But
you know they just swept Oklahoma. Yeahun so why can't
(11:41):
they do it again? You know, Kentucky is like top
forty in the RPI, and yet they are thirteen and
seventeen in conference. I mean, that just shows you how
tough it is trying to make a living in the
SEC here.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
So we'll be watching that later on today at two o'clock.
And I think it's on the SEC network, right am
I right about that? Yeah, I'm not sure I believe
it is. I mean, why would it Why would the
SEC tournament not be on the SEC network.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I mean, well, stranger things have happened nowadays, but you
know that would make.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
A lot of sense.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I was trying to find the Kentucky Vandy baseball game
the other day and it was like on ESPN plus
plus plus, Like I couldn't dig it up anywhere.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
It was on the Oat Show.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, you had had three subscriptions, two different, three different
sites just to be able to watch it.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
It's that's just reality now, Shannon.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
You know, you know what we've seen more Kentucky men's
basketball games go to SEC Plus and you know ESPN's
changing their at format. It's going to be thirty dollars
just to be able to watch these games, So I
mean you may have to be paying more to watch
in the watch these streaming games here eventually.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Eight five nine twenty two eighty seven. We're going to
take a break and we'll come back. Well, I want
to talk a little bit about this. Have you seen
Matt mentored it yesterday on Netflix? This new it's like
a mini series, but it's American Manhunt that Bin Laden.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I watched the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Oh you watched the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
The whole thing?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Okay, Well, well I guess I can. I mean, I
know what happened. You know, it's not like it's a
spoiler alert. We lived it, and we lived it. We
were there. But I want to talk a little bit
about that too, because I'm just through the first episode
and I think it's fascinating.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Really, I'm a bit of a nut for that kind
of stuff. So I went and binged the whole thing.
So we'll talk maybe a little bit about it.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, all right, we'll take a break. Take your calls.
Eight five nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. And
it is the KSR pre Show Welcome Back. It is
the KSR pre Show coming back with some Motley Crue
for the podcast listeners. I was doing some prep for
my afternoon rock show, Billy, and I'm playing Motley Crue
because Vince Neil is apparently now single. So if that
(13:37):
means if you're keeping scored home, Vince Nil and Tommy
Lee are both single. Wow, everybody hide your grandma's That's
all I'm saying. It's as rock.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
How can you settle down when you're going on a
tour bus from the town and people are throwing themselves out.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I'm sure those two were tearing it up in their twenties,
but now they're like, what, how old are Tommy Lee's
in the sixties now, right, I think? So that's a
great Vince Nil, He's got to be in his sixties.
You can only live that lifestyle for so long though.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
At Mommy Lee's sixty two?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Sixty two? Yeah, who was the other one? Where Vince
Nil Neil? Yeah, he's got to be right up there
with him sixty four.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
It's no de naro at eighty something fothering children. But look,
they got a couple more years left before their heart
fails on them from this rocker lifestyle. Has there ever
been at any Alice Blue gown, you know, super fans
or groupies.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I mean, we have people that come see us, but
you know, I'm not gonna shame anybody that comes to
see us. Why would I do that? Why am I
going to run off any of our Oh my god,
it's shading the dude. Four Hours of rock and we
were talking during the break there about the the bin
laden thing. You said you watched all of it. I
watched it all us well, in the first the first
(14:54):
I guess episode of the thing. I was just blown
away with like a few things, like number one, the
guy that came in and had like these stacks of paper,
and then the other the intelligence leader or whoever it
was that he brought the papers into his office, Like
what's that? He's like, I just wanted to be documented
so that when there's a terrorist attack, you can't say
you weren't warned and had all this these you know,
(15:18):
I guess information on the fact that beIN Lauden and
this terrorist group al Kato was looking into making some
sort of attack on America and we were warned and
we just ignored it. Which is infuriating too. I mean
when you think, Okay, we had all these warning signs
and nobody took it seriously, somebody has to pay for that.
(15:38):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yeah, I mean, there are a lot of warning signs
and we could have been a little bit more prepared.
There was a lot of illuminating things. And I'm not
gonna you know, we already know the story, but there's
a lot of details I don't want to spoil if
you're going to watch some more of the episodes, But
I mean, this all happens and George Bush is looking
for something to do, right, and the Secretary of Defense
is like, yeah, it's gonna take like six months for
(16:01):
us to invade Afghanistan, and this CIA operative just leans
forward and goes, you know, I'll get him to you
on a platter in four weeks, and bushes like, yeah,
I like you. So instead of going with the whole
Secretary of Defense in the military, it's a CIA operation.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Wasn't The guy wasn't even on the board, Like he
didn't even have a seat at the table, like he
had this big long table and all these like important
you know people leaders and everything. Colin Powell and you know,
the president and the vice president, you got changing, and
then you got this guy that's kind of sitting over
here in the corner, not even at the table, going well,
I can get him in six weeks. That's what I'm
(16:37):
talking about. You're my guy.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
And then like our emotions in allowing that guy to
be the leader, the guy that's gonna be in charge
of the direction and how we're going about capturing the
world's biggest terrorist.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It's pretty an amazing story.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
That was. That was amazing.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
And then even in the later episodes, you know they're
going through with this raid to try to kill Osama
bin Laanen, and then one of the helicopters goes down
right at the beginning of the raid. And I think
many of us know that part of the story due
to the you know that just the obviously it happening,
and then the was it Zero Dark thirty was the
movie about it? But I mean, you know, they move
forward even after something like that terrible happening. They're going
(17:19):
to still continue on with the mission. So a lot
of great nuggets in that. And I'll give us something
to talk about to kill some time before football.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I'll see if I can knock out the other two hours.
I don't have just three hours out of my day
that I can sit down and just watch Netflix shows.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I mean, well, okay, I feel I feel like that
was a shot at me a little bit.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
But well, okay, Well, first of all, in addition to
the everything that had going on yesterday, I also have
you know, we're trying to get our new guitar player,
you know, up to speed and learn our entire catalog
with Alice Blue Gowns. So we had a three hour
practice late last night. So that took up three hours
of my night.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Okay, So your excuse is this one time at band camp?
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
And then of course i'd get my work out in.
I'm working out with h I got a new workout guy.
Now you know I was complaining about the other one.
I finished the eight weeks of liftmore. I've got this
new guy, and I found out he is the same
guy that's the personal trainer for Julius Randall and DeMarcus
Cousins and Walla is this guy's name.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
So what is he like teaching you to box out
now get tested or something?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
No, but there is there is like agility stuff going on.
So I feel like, you know, by the time I
get through this four week program, I'm gonna be ready
to get some shots up in the NBA, because well,
this is the guy that trained a couple of Kentucky stars. Yeah. Wow, Okay,
still waiting on you, though, buddy, Still waiting on you
to come join.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Oh, don't you worry, I'm coming. Don't you worry.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I had a great leg day yesterday, Shannon uh, And
I'll be feeling it here a day or two from now.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
But how long did you sit in the sauna? Like
eleven minutes?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
We're I mean, we're we're over ten every time we
try to get to fifteen.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
And it's tough.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I start getting phone calls, you.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Know, well say like you can't stay in the middle
of the work. Well, they say, you're not supposed to.
We don't telling yourself they're not. They say you're not
supposed to stay in there like longer than twenty minutes.
But like, I've been in there before. And this is
this guy that goes in the sauna at the gym
that I work at it and he he sits in
there for like an hour. And I know that because
like when I go in to work out. I see
(19:15):
him sitting in there, and then like I go through
my workout, I come back to get in and he's
still in there. So this is like forty minutes later,
and then I sit in there for like, you know,
fifteen twenty minutes. There's an hour, and I still get
out before he does. This guy's just sitting there all day. Thing, Like,
what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
That's not healthy?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I mean, you know, doing a fifteen ten to fifteen
minutes sauna session three or four times a week, can
see some benefits.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
That guy is just dehydrating himself.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
It's like torture. Hey five, nine, two, eight oh twenty
two eighty seven. Let's go to the phones. Let's talk
to Drew. What's up Drew?
Speaker 6 (19:50):
Hey, good morning, gentlemen. Uh you know about the sauna.
I worked up to about forty five minutes at a
little over.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
The years ago.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
So yeah, okay, no explain to me because I don't
really know what I'm doing in the sauna other than
just sweating. Is there actual proven benefits or is this
like some sort of holistic thing to where we think
that it's actually good for you to sit on a
sauna and sweat your butt off for an hour.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Oh no, there's benefits. You know, our body's full of
toxins and plus if you don't have the best diet,
which at that point I didn't, Yeah, you got you
can get the toxins out, and uh so we just
kind of I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Yeah, so I'm just sitting in there sweating out cheeseburgers, basically,
is what you're telling me.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
That's pretty Yeah, that's pretty much it. And that's basically
what I was doing. I was a healthier then I
was in my early twenties, and so I didn't I
didn't put on weight easily, but man, my my arteries
were still still pretty clogged up with you know, I'm
a big beef eater. So yeah, it was, it's it is.
It's there's a lot of benefit and you get that
water weight out of you. So yeah, I worked up
(20:52):
forty five minutes. I had a friend that passed out
in there, uh, trying to hang in there with me,
and sorry.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Yeah, people know me.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
The Sorry for the visual, but I had to his
half naked butt out of there to save his lives.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
God.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Uh yeah, yeah, but anyways, I hate the parlay that
into something. He was a lot more serious than because
I know that we could be somber for days and days.
But I did want to mention one thing I was,
I'm just a few miles away from all the destruction
down here in Corbyn. Just the guys were just a
few miles from me and I work actually really close
(21:24):
to where the tornado hit. But months ago, there was
a couple that lived up on my property in corboran
I live. We lived kind of out in the country
and so we all know each other. And there was
an elderly couple that lived there while their house was
being built in London. And the names were Bob and Bernice,
and really nice folks. Bob he's uh disabled, couldn't get
(21:47):
around very well. He's in a motorized wheelchair. But I
just saw them all the time, was able to, you know,
carry packages for ms, just just neighborly things. Well sadly, sadly,
they they died in the in the tornado, right there
in the middle of that neighborhood where the guys were.
So and I'm not saying that for like sympathy for
me or anything, because I'm telling you, the family members
(22:08):
and the folks that are a lot closer to them.
They're the ones that are struggling. But I wanted to
bring it up just to say that, yes, the focus
should be on the people that lost everything and all that,
but what a lot of folks don't really realize is
the extent of the effects on people. It's it's far reaching.
I mean again, you know I'm not right.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
There with the too.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
I got to catch you off out here, buddy. Yeah,
thanks you for the call, man, I appreciate it. We'll
talk more about it next them. Yeah, welcome back. It
is the ksr AP pre show. That heartbreak kind of
got us there with Drew's call. I didn't mean to
cut them off. I know it kind of comes off
as insensitive when you got to go to the heartbreak,
but it is what it is. But yeah, Drew, we're
thinking about you and everybody who is obviously, you know,
(22:53):
affected by the tornadoes across Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
So in forty five minutes SNA sessions in.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Forty five set, yeah too much, God's sake, get break
it up into segments at least.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Oh my buddy passed out trying to hang with me. Well, yeah,
there may be an issue there.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Tonight, Billy. We got the conference finals starting. We got
the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Oka See Thunder. Okay, we
got looks like on DraftKings the Thunder are a seven
and a half point favorite at home. Let's let's go
ahead and just pick. First of all, who do you
think is going to be in the finals? You got
on the other side tomorrow you get the Pacers and Knicks.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Yeah, I think it's Thunder Pacers, Shannon. I I would
love for the NIXT to make the run just for
the betterment of basketball, but I think Indiana is a
little bit of the better.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Team and I'm in all. I'm all in on Shay.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
I mean, he took down Jokic and the Denver Nuggets,
so I think they are they get it done and
we will have a seventh different champion in the last
seven years in the NBA after the Celtics.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Got I agree with you on the Thunder. I think
the Knicks, though, get it done. You know they beat
my Celtics. That was impressive. So you took down the
champion from last year. I think they're gonna make it
to the championship this year. But you can bet it
all on Draft Kings Sportsbook, where every second counts. With DraftKings,

The line for Kentucky football came out yesterday versus Toledo
for their first game. I guess a little.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Low, you know, yeah, you know we're way off.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Well, I mean, look, I keep hearing everybody who were
gonna watch out for Toledo. Toledo's good. I'm gonna be
honest with you, I don't know anything about Toledo football.
Do you can you name one player on the Toledo roster?
No you can't.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Fortunately I can't exactly.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
So I mean, like what I just you know, listening
to the talking heads, everybody says Toledo's so good and
Kentucky's gonna be bad. I didn't think six and a
half was a bad guess. Turns out Kentucky is a
twelve and a half point favorite. Billy, What would you
have guessed if you were being honest, if you didn't
know it was twelve and a half. And don't say
you would have guessed twelve and a half, because no,
you wouldn't have. What would you have said?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Double digits somewhere?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Okay, but you know, not much more than than ten
or ten and a half because I'm worried about this
game too, just because there's a lot of unknowns. Right,
there's another revolving door at quarterback. Is the offensive line
going to be more similar to the big Blue wall
than maybe in years past? You know, with the transfer portal,
it it's just created more mystery each year, and and
(25:54):
now that we don't even get spring games and have
a second transfer portal opening. It's just like, do you
really know your team until you actually see them play?
But you know, it's still a still a by game, right,
It's still one that you need to take business of
because the SEC schedule is just that tough.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
You can't afford to lose non conference games.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
And that's why there's been such an argument to changing
the Louisville series. But wasn't Toledo a possible position for
Vince Marrow like when he was looking at jobs. I
feel like it's like maybe he's been in the running
for every job in college football over the last five
or six years, but I think Toledo specifically was one.
But look, I mean, you have some fear for them
(26:33):
for a reason, right, I mean they this is a
team that beat Mississippi State at Mississippi State by double
digits last year. I mean, one of the better teams
in the MAC. So it very easily could be a
bad start to the year for Kentucky in Mark Stoops
And so.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
If you don't beat Toledo, you got much bigger problems
on your hands, right, If you can't beat them, And
I'm not saying they're going to lose to Toledo, but I
think that it could be a close game. So I
don't know that you know, they're going to start the
season off with a blowout win over Toledo, but yeah,
I think it's going to be maybe a little too
close for comfort to start the season.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Well, look, I mean, Kentucky has got to start winning
home games, and I'm not talking about just sec home games,
like they have got to take care of business in
front of their fans. And in a year where you
have one last home game and you've increased the season
ticket prices, I mean there is you know, I think
some resentment by the fan base. You heard when you
talk when Matt talked about it on KSR about all
(27:31):
the people calling in not renewing their tickets and you know,
any of the openings available for season tickets. So that
is I think a reflection of Kentucky not being able
to get it done at home. You've got to start
beating Vanderbilt, you know what I mean, Like these these
are non negotiable.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
And South Carolina, yeah, I mean, come on, there was
a long stretch where Kentucky Football owned South Carolina and
now we flip back to where we were before. Where
Now South Carolina's beating Kentucky every year, So you got
to get those games back. Before we go back to
the phone, I got to ask you your opinion on this, Billy,
and I don't know that you really have. I don't
know that really you should have an opinion on this
(28:07):
as somebody who proposed to his girlfriend at the jfk assassination.
So hold on now, observation power thinking. But did you
see Brock Vandergriff? Did you see what he did?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yes, Brock Vandergrift proposed to his girlfriend with an antler
with the ring on the antler, and on the antler
was painted the words will you marry me? Billy?
Speaker 2 (28:30):
What in the hill, billy hell does this?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I mean, I've never heard he's proposing to his girlfriend
with an antler with a ring on it on the horn?
What'd you take on this? Fair or foul? Proposing with
a deer antler?
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Well, look, the antler's like painted, it's got flowers on it, says.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Will you marry It's still an antler. It was still
a part of a live animal at one point.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I uh, look, I mean, to each their own right,
it's it's corny but love finds a way, Shannon, I'm
completely fair with this. I you know Brock Vandergriff, you know,
it is his life going out there and sitting in
the stand and finding a deer to shoot. So why
not find somebody that will spend the rest of your
(29:17):
life with you, that likes the same things you do?
Speaker 2 (29:19):
So I think it is fair.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
It's more about the couple than it is Shannon the
Dude or any morning radio host judging them for what
they find special sand And so I'm going to one
hundred percent corny, but one hundred percent fair.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Love always finds a way.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Please, you're calling it corny. I think if you propose
with an antler, you could call it horny. What's up, Larry.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Well? I too stayed up last night and watched that
Netflix show on Find an Obama. But if you're interested
in that sort of stuff, there's a fabulous book called
The Looming Tower that's about what Obama was up to
during all those years and how he built his power base.
Oh sorry, Osama, bin Lauden, my mistake. I apologize.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Yeah, So it's.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
A it's a it's a terrific book because it it
the the show last night tells you about how they
finally found him, but this book tells you what he
was doing during all years.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yeah. I find that stuff fascinating. Yeah, just the behind
the scenes stuff. I've seen that video, you know, several
times of when you know George Bush is they're reading
to the kids and he's trying to not react because
he doesn't want to scare anybody. Right. But imagine, though, Billy,
you're the president. You're just going for a you know,
a little visit with an elementary school, and you're reading
(30:46):
this book. You think it's going to be a normal day,
and you get somebody come up and whisper in your
ear that America is under attack.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
America is under attack.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
I mean, I don't think I could keep a cool
head like he did in that in that uh circumstance,
and he's pretty crazy.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Gold stand and say, you're going to have to excuse me.
You know, I've got to deal with the situation. Yeah,
you know, there's a way to react to it without
standing up and making the children scared. But I also
found fascinating the counter terrorism units and how they were
blamed for, you know, just unbelievable failures. But you know
they were working as hard as anybody. I mean, they
(31:19):
were the only ones trying to even find Osama or
to stop these things, so I did feel bad for them.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
The thing that I found really chilling was when they said,
you know, we don't know if they're going to try
to fill up playing into this elementary school, right, And
I heard that, I'm like, yeah, that's unfathomable. I mean,
can you even imagine.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
It's just I mean the people in the Pentagon didn't
think they were going to be hit either, right, right,
But here was a guy that was a sole survivor
from his unit to survived that. So there was It
was good. It was really good. And it's still chilling
to watch that footage that you see in the first
ten minutes of the episode one next What's up?
Speaker 7 (31:58):
You have them going down? All right, man, Jan And
I was just wanting to ask you about use every
every Companion Baseball been on SEC plus this year next
and nobody has it so you you couldn't even get
you can even find it on the box, Well I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
This past weekend. I found some of them on there,
but I could not find that one. I actually had
to go to actually find it on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
We have found the box's limits.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Well, it was on YouTube. I think, you know sometimes
if you go on YouTube. I don't know how this happens, Billy,
but I guess there's somebody who's streaming it on YouTube.
I don't think they have the license to do that.
But I'm just saying, if you dig far enough, you
can find it.
Speaker 7 (32:44):
Yeah, yeah, I was. I've been wondering because I've been
figure I have a fire stick that I get everything,
but I can't get a SEC plus up either. So
I was wondering to fight out the box, I would
have it.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
So yeah, yeah, I mean possibly so, but I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Probably nine times out of ten, Peanut, you will. You
just got to find it. That's the thing with that
media boxes. There's there's no direction.
Speaker 7 (33:05):
There's like I get all the ESPN plus but no
SEC plus.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
It's wow.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yea, all right, Peanut anything thanks for the call. I
appreciate it, Billy. We need to mention this. Sean Woods
was announced this morning as the head coach for Lo Familia.
Excited about that Scott County head coach and now he's
going to be the head coach of Lo Familia for
TVT this summer.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
We talk about the success of former KSR pre show
co hosts all throughout different walks of life. And now
Sean Woods has not only found a new job with
Scott County, he's going to be the coach of the
TVT team, and and that makes sense. You know, I
guess with Tyler Eulis being at Arkansas, you know, I'm
sure he would love to come back, but maybe they're
a little logistical issues there. But you know, Sean is
(33:55):
going to do some great things over at Scott County,
I hope, And so this would be a good start
for it, and hopefully the TVT team can you can
get another win versus Louisville because we're gonna have to
go into Freedom Hall to win that game. If they
do meet, I would think that the tournament organizers are
going to have to make sure that these two teams
meet at some point, right.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
I didn't really follow it, I would hope. So I
didn't really follow it really too much before last year,
but last year I kind of got into it, and
you know, I guess maybe you know, the Kentucky Lovell
game sparked a lot of interest, but it was a
lot of fun. Last year, and I'm looking forward to
you know, the team this year hopefully.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
How about Nate Sistina being a baller, Yeah, and I
mean making up for lost time and people getting spit
on and Drew getting sucker punched. I mean, come on,
We're set up for a great round two.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
We're gonna wrap Drew and bubble wrap this time if
we play in Freedom Holliday Hey five nine to twenty
two eighty seven. We'll come back with our final segment
of the KSR Pre Show. All right, welcome back. It
is the final segment of the KSR Pre Show. The
segment sponsored by Silk Velvet Whiskey, my new favorite bourbon
(35:02):
that's out there, and it is a historic brand, revived
first craft it back in eighteen eighty and Henderson, Kentucky.
And this is not just your average bottle of bourbon.
We're talking top shelf bourbon here, the good stuff, put
together and brought back by the Hargus family, handpicked by
award winning master distiller Jab Call. And it's over a
century in the making where every sip tells the story.
(35:24):
Silk Velvet, like I said, revived by the Hargess family.
Craft it for those who know their bourbon, bold, smooth
and unapologetically Kentucky aged six years to perfection. You won't
find any gimmicks here, just real honest bourbon with heritage
and every drop handcrafted, hand selected, and made to be
enjoyed as smooth as silk and Rich's velvet. They're going
to be at our KSR Golf Scramble, Billy, coming out
(35:46):
we are, So if you're going to be at the
golf scramble, you try make sure, yeah, make sure you
try it and you end up wanting to buy a bottle.
And if you do want to buy a bottle, you
can get it at liquor stores throughout Kentucky. You can
go to Silk Velvet Whiskey dot com. Make sure you
give them a follow on social media as well, and
they'll let you know exactly where you can find Silk
Velvet Whiskey. Billy. Are you concerned about these inmates that
(36:08):
escaped in Louisiana? They've been on the run now for
several days. I know we were talking a little bit
about it during the break, but apparently it was like,
what was it a dozen I think that escaped and
there's still six on the run now.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Yeah, it was ten ten and kind of like the
Netflix documentary. I've been fascinated by this too.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Ten people escaped last Friday from a New Orleans prison
and they did it in like a hole in the
plumbing behind a toilet. There's like riding on the wall
under above the hole. That says too easy, like they're
mocking the guards.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
I like they spelled it wrong, though too well, they
put too easy, but they put to o not too
of course, you know, I don't know. If I don't know,
you expect anybody has gave me from prison to be
grammatically correct.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
But you're right, they've they've found a few of them.
One was sleeping on a like a bench in just
in New Orleans. Another one was trying to hide it
in a band in house. But they're saying that this
this was impossible without staff involvement, Shannon, So they think
that there's somebody on the inside that may have helped
these people get out. But there's some surveillance footage of
(37:12):
them jumping off the dock. One guy's got like a
blanket and he's tripping all over himself. I don't know, Shannon, Uh,
did you ever watch Prison Break?
Speaker 1 (37:20):
The TV show? No? No, but I have watched Almost
Got Away with It. I am talk about shows that
I love the good and then a lot of these
episodes on that show is about people breaking out, right,
But like, what's what's in it for the person? Like,
let's let's say it's the jailer, Okay, that's doing like
an inside job and allowing these people to escape from prison.
What's in it for them? I mean, the worst thing
(37:42):
that's gonna happen to them is they're gonna end up
in jail, right, But what's the upside other than just
letting people go.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
I don't know, maybe develop relationships with these hardened criminals.
As a guard, I would I would think that you would,
you know, they'd tell you to keep your distance. But
maybe that's just the little humanity coming out in the
guards wanting to get these guides out of a tough situation.
Maybe they're promised, you know, things on the outside. Probably
these hardened criminals have mob ties and things like that. Shannon,
(38:11):
I mean, hey, you help me out, I'll help you out.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
If you're breaking out of prison, Billy, where's the first
place you're going?
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Waffle house?
Speaker 1 (38:16):
I gotta eat?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
And they're not gonna tell, I.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Mean nobody's waffle house. They get all suspicious about this
guy in an orange jumpsuit just walking in all muddy,
ordering a smothered and covered hause.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Is that not just another night at waffle house? I
think if you're gonna get any grub, they would turn
the other way. I think that'd be the first place
I've got to go.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
So you're saying the one place you could fit in
late at night as a waffle house walking in in
a jumpsuit.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Yeah, but then I don't know what I'm doing, Like
I I really don't. Like, maybe you go to a
family member or friends, but.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
That's obvious that's the first place the police are going. True.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
But like I feel like if I, you know, try
to cross state lines or just try to travel, I'm
gonna get picked up on security footage things like that
and they'll find me in an instant.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
So like twenty twenty five shit, and you're not hiding.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
I mean those cameras everywhere.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
The guy that uh, you know, shot the was it
the CEO in New York a year or so ago?
I mean they were They found him into McDonald's right,
like it was just like it's bizarre like with the people.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Uh, you know, just footage being.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Out there and pictures of yourself is it's it's harder
to hide more than ever.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Yeah, well, I mean, like the first if you're going
to McDonald's. First of all, why are you going to
waf Wiles? Why are you going anywhere like that? Because
you know you're going to be recognized if you go
to a cast dumpster diving and.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
You have food and yes, the bakery dumpster when they
throw out the doughnuts.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
At the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
I'm just saying, like, I'm not going to just walk,
you know, to the McDonald's next to the police station.
If you're breaking out of prison the sue.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Cream machine's broke and you start throwing stuff and a scene.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Yeah, Billy, I continue to get foreign money. This is
something that just will not stop. And I don't know
if you saw me post this a couple of days ago.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Yeah, I saw this one.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
I got twenty is it kiots or chaot or cats?
We're gonna call it twenty cats. You tell me ky ats,
twenty cats, I'm gonna call it. I got this from
somebody that also wrote a little note that goes along
with it. It says, I listen to your show all the time.
Originally from Tera Hot, Indiana, but now I live in Florida.
Earlier in the week, you guys were talking about eating raccoon.
(40:19):
Were we talking? Yeah, we were. You know, we're talking
about eating roadkill.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
A couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
It was Xavier Legette was talking about eating raccoon with
the guy Ferrari.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Ferrari, Yeah, got here take it thereby? Yeah, he says.
My daddy had a red bone coonhound and hunted all
the time. You said you didn't think you would like
to eat it, but you're wrong. If you like deer,
you would like raccoon. After you skin it, you trim
off all the fat except for enough to cook in it.
Cook it in. I used the good barbecue sauce. Bake
it in the oven. You'll be surprised at how good
(40:49):
it really is. I had. This is my best, my
favorite part of this whole thing. This is the best part.
I have fed it to a lot of people and
not told them what it is until after they had
eaten it. They really loved it. I know you collect
form money. Here's my contribution. Redbone Howie Billy, I don't
know about you. But if you bring me over to
your house for dinner and you cook me raccoon without
(41:09):
letting me know what it is, I'm gonna be a
little mad at you.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
What do you mean you don't want to have a
little of my mystery meat? No, man, I just put
it on the gas grill. It's nice and cooked. You
put it in a new life, he says. You just
slather barbecue sauce on a raccoon and throw it in
an oven.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
Fair or foul? Not telling somebody what you're cooking for him,
that's foul.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
You can't tell them. You can't tell them, you know,
come over for chili, but we're really eating chili with raccoon.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
Bee.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Well, sometime it's good for him.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
I think it's safe to assume that if we're having,
you know, chili, it's gonna be ground beef, not ground raccoon.
So I'm going for a percent foul. Don't invite me
over on your new grill and try to.
Speaker 3 (41:46):
You're getting the foot on doing and you come over
and you're gonna have no idea what you're eating.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
Hey.

and great to see you before. I guess we meet
again on Friday at the Mountain Laurel Festival, we'll have
our next live show. So excited for that and excited
for another great day.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
With you, buddy. Yeah, looking forward to that on Friday.
That's going to be a long hike for me. I
think that may be maybe doing a little overnight on
Thursday night before the show on Friday, but we'll look
forward to that. Coming up at the end of the week.
I think we got to start though yesterday, Billy, with
where KSR left off, and that was in London Kentucky,
(01:05):
where you know, we continue to see these just incredibly
devastating pictures from the tornado that came through over the weekend.
You know, a couple of thoughts, nothing you know, different
from really what we talked about yesterday, but it was
just great to see communities coming together and people from
outside of the London community coming in and helping out
(01:25):
where they could. And also good that you know, KSR
was able to be there talk to some of the
leaders and get some direction on like what they need
and where to take the items that they need, because
in a situation like this, I mean, it's it's utter chaos.
You know, people want to help, but they don't know
the best way to help. And I think we got
a lot of good information out of the show yesterday
(01:45):
in London and just just great to see everybody helping out.
The thing though that is just sad to see more
than almost more so than the homes destructed, is that
they had to bring in cameras, Billy, the police I
had to bring in cameras to scare away looters, people
who are actually going around and looting, going through people's
(02:07):
homes and personal belongings to steal. And you see this
every time there's some sort of disaster, you hear about looters.
But it's just it's sad that people want to come
in and pray on people who just lost everything and
a situation like what happened in London over the weekend, some.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Of the earth.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
If you ask me, going into these natural disaster zones
and looting people's broken houses, I liken it to the
people trying to scam my grandma Shandon. You know, those
people that call and say, hey, I need a thousand dollars.
You got to wire this now. I mean, these people
just praying on the people that are most vulnerable. It's terrible.
So them setting up cameras for looters was shocking to me.
(02:44):
You know, I'm actually really glad kiss Aar went because
it was really informative of what it's actually like. I mean,
not only is Mario sending images that are just jaw dropping,
but you know, Matt is able to do an interview
with a guy who lost his brother and his childhood home,
and the emotional pleas of the senators there and the
and the people who just had their houses torn apart.
(03:05):
It was, uh, you know, that's what makes me really
proud to be a part of KASR is that they're
they go to a situation like that and bring awareness.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
But it was really it was informative to me.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I mean, you know, these people don't need clothes because
they have you know, so many used clothes and they
have to wash them at that point. And you know
they've got for the most part water, but they need
things like work gloves and and tarp so they can
you know, they have they've got more weather coming, is
it tonight, chick today?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I mean they're just trying to pick the pick up
the pieces and now they've got to deal with more
of this. So, uh, just an unnecessary show yesterday by
Matt Ryan and Drew and and Mario really rounded it
out nicely at the end of the show, just talking
about how you know, life isn't promised and you know
it's not something that you should take for granted every
day it was it was it was an emotional day
(03:59):
and I I thought it was really nice those guys
were able to make it, you know, make it there
and tell us what was the story of what was happening, and.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Let's keep all these people in our thoughts continually going
forward to because the world that we live in, Billy,
it's a twenty four hour news cycle, right, Things are
talked about for the you know, the first couple of
days after something happens. If it's a big event like this,
sometimes it's gone, like I said, in twenty four hours.
But if it's something like this, it's talked about for
a couple of days, but then a week later it
(04:28):
kind of just fades away. But we got to keep
in mind that this isn't something that's going to be
fixed in a week. This is going to be something
that's going to take months, you know, years in some
cases to build back to where they were. So, you know,
just keep these people in your thoughts because they're going
to need your help, not just this week, but for
many many weeks to come as well.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
So taking about vacation one day and next they're picking
up the pieces. And Matt shared a stat about how
many natural disasters there's been since Andy Basher has taken office.
And you and you can't help but think, I mean,
my god, you know, what did you sign up for?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Andy?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
This is it's unbelievable what this state has been through
with tornado, alleys shifting, and and even we've gotten some
really bad floods. So it's it's tough. But you know,
we're Kentucky strong, Shannon, and we're going to support each other.
And that's what I love most about the state. But
you're exactly right. Just think about these these people that
were impacted by this, because this is not going to
(05:25):
be a uh this is not going to be a
short term thing.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
No, And I can tell you that from first experience.
I mean, I don't know if you've ever had any
tornado damage to your.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Own hurricane back in Florida, but never tornado.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, some of you might remember. I think it was
ninety six. We had a big tornado that came through
and Bullet County was right directly in its path, and
I remember my house getting hit. Now, it didn't get leveled, luckily,
but a lot of the houses did. But I can remember,
and you know, at the time it was it was
scary and wasn't funny. But now I can look back
(05:56):
on it now and kind of laugh at it. I
remember when this tornado came through. I was on the
baseball field. My dad grabs me and my mom when
you get in the truck and we're going to my
grandparents who have a basement at their house because at
my house we didn't have a basement.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
And we are driving in this little truck and my
dad is like, it feels like we are traveling five
miles an hour. We look behind us, Billy, we could
see this tornado and I don't know, like I'm bad
at like guestimating exactly how far that thing was behind us.
It felt like I was right on us. It was
probably I'm going to guess five, maybe six hundred yards
(06:33):
behind us. It was close. It was close, and we
are trying to outrun this tornado. We don't have far
to go, but it just felt like everything was going
in slow motion and I'm going to hit the gas
pedal and he's going I'm trying, and it felt like
we were getting sucked into a vacuum. It was like, gosh,
so yeah, it's traumatizing. Man, if you've been through a tornado,
if you've had you know, damage like back, you know
(06:55):
it was thirty thousand dollars I think worth of damage
that it did to my house, my parents out us.
But that was ninety six, so what double that now
with inflation, just to give you an idea on how
bad it was, but not nearly as bad as you
know some of the homes in Somerset. So I'm just saying,
like it is a very traumatizing experience. The crazy thing
about the one that hit our house was it like effect.
(07:17):
It blew out all the windows, you know, like stuff
was everywhere in the yards and in the neighbor's yards,
and you know, stuff was just as you can imagine,
all over the place. One room did not get affected,
and it was my It was my bedroom. The went
perfect exactly, not not one thing went off the shelf,
like nothing moved. It's so weird how these things hit,
(07:38):
Like the randomness of it, Like how could it hit
a house and have every room have windows blown out
except for one which was on the top level, by
the way, top level bedroom. Nothing moved in my bedrooms
like it was untouched, But the rest of the house
was an absolute disaster.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
That's bizarre because I've seen tornadoes, you know, level subdivisions,
but like maybe the street right across it will be fine.
And it's like that's the you know, that's just kind
of what tornadoes do. But the same house in the
room is untouched. That is a little odd.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
You think about these situations and you think it'll never
be me, right, like, I won't be the one in
these situations until it actually happens and you hear these
sirens and and you know, I do want to commend
the all the weathermen out there that you know, they
treat it like their super Bowl and they're on for
twenty four and forty eight hours at a time, and
guys like Mark Weinbrenner or Weinberg Louisville, they get a
(08:32):
lot of crap, you know, and people are like, hey,
I mean I just got a little wind in Louisville,
you know, kind of what the hell? You made a
big fuss out of this for nothing? And then a
couple hours later there's towns that are absolutely leveled. So
it's not an easy situation and you don't think it's
going to be you until it actually happens. And it's
just devastating to see that this keeps happening in our state.
And so, you know, like you said, I've thoughts and
(08:53):
prayers with everybody that's been affected, and hopefully you know,
when it dies down, you can get out there and
help with the recovery as well, because I'm sure that
you can make an impact.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Hey five, nine, two, eight oh twenty two eighty seven
will take your calls as we go throughout the show.
The other I guess big sports news right now, Billy
for Kentucky. Is Kentucky Baseball down in Hoover, Alabama taking
out of Oklahoma. Yeah, it's a two pm start. It's
a single elimination game. So the thing is right now,
the Cats are projected to be in the NC DOUBLEA Tournament.
(09:24):
But you know, if I'm Benji one, I think I'm
gonna throw my best picture that I've got available right now.
You know I'm not leaving anything to chance. I think
you you know you would like to get at least
one win in the SEC SEC tournament, And I'm gonna
go ahead if I'm Benji on and throw my best
pitcher number one, to try to get the win and
secure a spot in the NC DOUBLEA Tournament, regardless of
(09:47):
what the projections have. Number two. If you throw your
best guy, now you got more rest for the NC
DOUBLEA tournament as opposed to throwing your three, four, five
guy today and then you know, starting your ace or
your number two guy the game. I think you throw
your best right now and you know, let him get
some rest with the NCAA tournament ahead.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Well, I think it's a little bit of a quitter's mentality.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
If you were to throw your fourth or fifth best
pitcher today, you know, is it tough to improve your
seating in the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Probably you'd probably have to win more than one game.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
But these are competitors, right, They wake up and think
about how they're going to get better each and every
day and how they're going to achieve their ultimate dreams.
So I always thought it was weird, like week seventeen
or eighteen, I guess in the NFL, and you know
they rest the starters, right, they've already clinched the playoff spot.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
It's like a load managementek load managem.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Well, yeah, that's also though a part you know, to
prevent injury as well. Right, you don't want you don't
want your QB if you're already in the playoffs, Why
do you want your QB going out there for a
game that's meaningless at the.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Why start Tyler Bell today? You know why I throw
your best picture?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I mean because I don't think because in this situation,
I don't think it's meaningless.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Well that's what I meant. I'm certain that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
It's like, I think that there's a lot to the
psyche and a mindset of a team. And if you
were to go out there and say, hey, we're just
mailing this one in, yeah, you know, I think that
trickles down from the top.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah. I mean, if Kentucky were like a one seed
going into the NCAA tournament, I would say, Okay, whatever,
don't don't worry about it. It doesn't matter. You're already locked in,
you know, to a good seat. You know, there's a
chance they could improve their seeding if they make a
run here in the SEC tournament, right, So as you want.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
To keep momentum going right, like, you don't want to
go in cold, you know, so you want to play
as best as you can and hopefully down in Hoover, Alabama,
it's a long stay for our guy, Darren. This will
be the second game of the day, so it's a
little weather dependent. So we assume around a one forty
five pre game start with the two pm start. But
you know they just swept Oklahoma. Yeahun so why can't
(11:41):
they do it again? You know, Kentucky is like top
forty in the RPI, and yet they are thirteen and
seventeen in conference. I mean, that just shows you how
tough it is trying to make a living in the
SEC here.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
So we'll be watching that later on today at two o'clock.
And I think it's on the SEC network, right am
I right about that? Yeah, I'm not sure I believe
it is. I mean, why would it Why would the
SEC tournament not be on the SEC network.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I mean, well, stranger things have happened nowadays, but you
know that would make.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
A lot of sense.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I was trying to find the Kentucky Vandy baseball game
the other day and it was like on ESPN plus
plus plus, Like I couldn't dig it up anywhere.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
It was on the Oat Show.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, you had had three subscriptions, two different, three different
sites just to be able to watch it.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
It's that's just reality now, Shannon.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
You know, you know what we've seen more Kentucky men's
basketball games go to SEC Plus and you know ESPN's
changing their at format. It's going to be thirty dollars
just to be able to watch these games, So I
mean you may have to be paying more to watch
in the watch these streaming games here eventually.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Eight five nine twenty two eighty seven. We're going to
take a break and we'll come back. Well, I want
to talk a little bit about this. Have you seen
Matt mentored it yesterday on Netflix? This new it's like
a mini series, but it's American Manhunt that Bin Laden.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I watched the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Oh you watched the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
The whole thing?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Okay, Well, well I guess I can. I mean, I
know what happened. You know, it's not like it's a
spoiler alert. We lived it, and we lived it. We
were there. But I want to talk a little bit
about that too, because I'm just through the first episode
and I think it's fascinating.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Really, I'm a bit of a nut for that kind
of stuff. So I went and binged the whole thing.
So we'll talk maybe a little bit about it.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, all right, we'll take a break. Take your calls.
Eight five nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. And
it is the KSR pre Show Welcome Back. It is
the KSR pre Show coming back with some Motley Crue
for the podcast listeners. I was doing some prep for
my afternoon rock show, Billy, and I'm playing Motley Crue
because Vince Neil is apparently now single. So if that
(13:37):
means if you're keeping scored home, Vince Nil and Tommy
Lee are both single. Wow, everybody hide your grandma's That's
all I'm saying. It's as rock.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
How can you settle down when you're going on a
tour bus from the town and people are throwing themselves out.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I'm sure those two were tearing it up in their twenties,
but now they're like, what, how old are Tommy Lee's
in the sixties now, right, I think? So that's a
great Vince Nil, He's got to be in his sixties.
You can only live that lifestyle for so long though.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
At Mommy Lee's sixty two?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Sixty two? Yeah, who was the other one? Where Vince
Nil Neil? Yeah, he's got to be right up there
with him sixty four.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
It's no de naro at eighty something fothering children. But look,
they got a couple more years left before their heart
fails on them from this rocker lifestyle. Has there ever
been at any Alice Blue gown, you know, super fans
or groupies.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I mean, we have people that come see us, but
you know, I'm not gonna shame anybody that comes to
see us. Why would I do that? Why am I
going to run off any of our Oh my god,
it's shading the dude. Four Hours of rock and we
were talking during the break there about the the bin
laden thing. You said you watched all of it. I
watched it all us well, in the first the first
(14:54):
I guess episode of the thing. I was just blown
away with like a few things, like number one, the
guy that came in and had like these stacks of paper,
and then the other the intelligence leader or whoever it
was that he brought the papers into his office, Like
what's that? He's like, I just wanted to be documented
so that when there's a terrorist attack, you can't say
you weren't warned and had all this these you know,
(15:18):
I guess information on the fact that beIN Lauden and
this terrorist group al Kato was looking into making some
sort of attack on America and we were warned and
we just ignored it. Which is infuriating too. I mean
when you think, Okay, we had all these warning signs
and nobody took it seriously, somebody has to pay for that.
(15:38):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yeah, I mean, there are a lot of warning signs
and we could have been a little bit more prepared.
There was a lot of illuminating things. And I'm not
gonna you know, we already know the story, but there's
a lot of details I don't want to spoil if
you're going to watch some more of the episodes, But
I mean, this all happens and George Bush is looking
for something to do, right, and the Secretary of Defense
is like, yeah, it's gonna take like six months for
(16:01):
us to invade Afghanistan, and this CIA operative just leans
forward and goes, you know, I'll get him to you
on a platter in four weeks, and bushes like, yeah,
I like you. So instead of going with the whole
Secretary of Defense in the military, it's a CIA operation.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Wasn't The guy wasn't even on the board, Like he
didn't even have a seat at the table, like he
had this big long table and all these like important
you know people leaders and everything. Colin Powell and you know,
the president and the vice president, you got changing, and
then you got this guy that's kind of sitting over
here in the corner, not even at the table, going well,
I can get him in six weeks. That's what I'm
(16:37):
talking about. You're my guy.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
And then like our emotions in allowing that guy to
be the leader, the guy that's gonna be in charge
of the direction and how we're going about capturing the
world's biggest terrorist.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It's pretty an amazing story.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
That was. That was amazing.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
And then even in the later episodes, you know they're
going through with this raid to try to kill Osama
bin Laanen, and then one of the helicopters goes down
right at the beginning of the raid. And I think
many of us know that part of the story due
to the you know that just the obviously it happening,
and then the was it Zero Dark thirty was the
movie about it? But I mean, you know, they move
forward even after something like that terrible happening. They're going
(17:19):
to still continue on with the mission. So a lot
of great nuggets in that. And I'll give us something
to talk about to kill some time before football.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I'll see if I can knock out the other two hours.
I don't have just three hours out of my day
that I can sit down and just watch Netflix shows.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I mean, well, okay, I feel I feel like that
was a shot at me a little bit.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
But well, okay, Well, first of all, in addition to
the everything that had going on yesterday, I also have
you know, we're trying to get our new guitar player,
you know, up to speed and learn our entire catalog
with Alice Blue Gowns. So we had a three hour
practice late last night. So that took up three hours
of my night.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Okay, So your excuse is this one time at band camp?
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
And then of course i'd get my work out in.
I'm working out with h I got a new workout guy.
Now you know I was complaining about the other one.
I finished the eight weeks of liftmore. I've got this
new guy, and I found out he is the same
guy that's the personal trainer for Julius Randall and DeMarcus
Cousins and Walla is this guy's name.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
So what is he like teaching you to box out
now get tested or something?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
No, but there is there is like agility stuff going on.
So I feel like, you know, by the time I
get through this four week program, I'm gonna be ready
to get some shots up in the NBA, because well,
this is the guy that trained a couple of Kentucky stars. Yeah. Wow, Okay,
still waiting on you, though, buddy, Still waiting on you
to come join.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Oh, don't you worry, I'm coming. Don't you worry.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I had a great leg day yesterday, Shannon uh, And
I'll be feeling it here a day or two from now.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
But how long did you sit in the sauna? Like
eleven minutes?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
We're I mean, we're we're over ten every time we
try to get to fifteen.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
And it's tough.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I start getting phone calls, you.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Know, well say like you can't stay in the middle
of the work. Well, they say, you're not supposed to.
We don't telling yourself they're not. They say you're not
supposed to stay in there like longer than twenty minutes.
But like, I've been in there before. And this is
this guy that goes in the sauna at the gym
that I work at it and he he sits in
there for like an hour. And I know that because
like when I go in to work out. I see
(19:15):
him sitting in there, and then like I go through
my workout, I come back to get in and he's
still in there. So this is like forty minutes later,
and then I sit in there for like, you know,
fifteen twenty minutes. There's an hour, and I still get
out before he does. This guy's just sitting there all day. Thing, Like,
what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
That's not healthy?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I mean, you know, doing a fifteen ten to fifteen
minutes sauna session three or four times a week, can
see some benefits.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
That guy is just dehydrating himself.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
It's like torture. Hey five, nine, two, eight oh twenty
two eighty seven. Let's go to the phones. Let's talk
to Drew. What's up Drew?
Speaker 6 (19:50):
Hey, good morning, gentlemen. Uh you know about the sauna.
I worked up to about forty five minutes at a
little over.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
The years ago.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
So yeah, okay, no explain to me because I don't
really know what I'm doing in the sauna other than
just sweating. Is there actual proven benefits or is this
like some sort of holistic thing to where we think
that it's actually good for you to sit on a
sauna and sweat your butt off for an hour.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Oh no, there's benefits. You know, our body's full of
toxins and plus if you don't have the best diet,
which at that point I didn't, Yeah, you got you
can get the toxins out, and uh so we just
kind of I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Yeah, so I'm just sitting in there sweating out cheeseburgers, basically,
is what you're telling me.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
That's pretty Yeah, that's pretty much it. And that's basically
what I was doing. I was a healthier then I
was in my early twenties, and so I didn't I
didn't put on weight easily, but man, my my arteries
were still still pretty clogged up with you know, I'm
a big beef eater. So yeah, it was, it's it is.
It's there's a lot of benefit and you get that
water weight out of you. So yeah, I worked up
(20:52):
forty five minutes. I had a friend that passed out
in there, uh, trying to hang in there with me,
and sorry.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Yeah, people know me.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
The Sorry for the visual, but I had to his
half naked butt out of there to save his lives.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
God.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Uh yeah, yeah, but anyways, I hate the parlay that
into something. He was a lot more serious than because
I know that we could be somber for days and days.
But I did want to mention one thing I was,
I'm just a few miles away from all the destruction
down here in Corbyn. Just the guys were just a
few miles from me and I work actually really close
(21:24):
to where the tornado hit. But months ago, there was
a couple that lived up on my property in corboran
I live. We lived kind of out in the country
and so we all know each other. And there was
an elderly couple that lived there while their house was
being built in London. And the names were Bob and Bernice,
and really nice folks. Bob he's uh disabled, couldn't get
(21:47):
around very well. He's in a motorized wheelchair. But I
just saw them all the time, was able to, you know,
carry packages for ms, just just neighborly things. Well sadly, sadly,
they they died in the in the tornado, right there
in the middle of that neighborhood where the guys were.
So and I'm not saying that for like sympathy for
me or anything, because I'm telling you, the family members
(22:08):
and the folks that are a lot closer to them.
They're the ones that are struggling. But I wanted to
bring it up just to say that, yes, the focus
should be on the people that lost everything and all that,
but what a lot of folks don't really realize is
the extent of the effects on people. It's it's far reaching.
I mean again, you know I'm not right.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
There with the too.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
I got to catch you off out here, buddy. Yeah,
thanks you for the call, man, I appreciate it. We'll
talk more about it next them. Yeah, welcome back. It
is the ksr AP pre show. That heartbreak kind of
got us there with Drew's call. I didn't mean to
cut them off. I know it kind of comes off
as insensitive when you got to go to the heartbreak,
but it is what it is. But yeah, Drew, we're
thinking about you and everybody who is obviously, you know,
(22:53):
affected by the tornadoes across Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
So in forty five minutes SNA sessions in.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Forty five set, yeah too much, God's sake, get break
it up into segments at least.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Oh my buddy passed out trying to hang with me. Well, yeah,
there may be an issue there.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Tonight, Billy. We got the conference finals starting. We got
the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Oka See Thunder. Okay, we
got looks like on DraftKings the Thunder are a seven
and a half point favorite at home. Let's let's go
ahead and just pick. First of all, who do you
think is going to be in the finals? You got
on the other side tomorrow you get the Pacers and Knicks.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Yeah, I think it's Thunder Pacers, Shannon. I I would
love for the NIXT to make the run just for
the betterment of basketball, but I think Indiana is a
little bit of the better.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Team and I'm in all. I'm all in on Shay.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
I mean, he took down Jokic and the Denver Nuggets,
so I think they are they get it done and
we will have a seventh different champion in the last
seven years in the NBA after the Celtics.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Got I agree with you on the Thunder. I think
the Knicks, though, get it done. You know they beat
my Celtics. That was impressive. So you took down the
champion from last year. I think they're gonna make it
to the championship this year. But you can bet it
all on Draft Kings Sportsbook, where every second counts. With DraftKings,

The line for Kentucky football came out yesterday versus Toledo
for their first game. I guess a little.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Low, you know, yeah, you know we're way off.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Well, I mean, look, I keep hearing everybody who were
gonna watch out for Toledo. Toledo's good. I'm gonna be
honest with you, I don't know anything about Toledo football.
Do you can you name one player on the Toledo roster?
No you can't.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Fortunately I can't exactly.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
So I mean, like what I just you know, listening
to the talking heads, everybody says Toledo's so good and
Kentucky's gonna be bad. I didn't think six and a
half was a bad guess. Turns out Kentucky is a
twelve and a half point favorite. Billy, What would you
have guessed if you were being honest, if you didn't
know it was twelve and a half. And don't say
you would have guessed twelve and a half, because no,
you wouldn't have. What would you have said?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Double digits somewhere?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Okay, but you know, not much more than than ten
or ten and a half because I'm worried about this
game too, just because there's a lot of unknowns. Right,
there's another revolving door at quarterback. Is the offensive line
going to be more similar to the big Blue wall
than maybe in years past? You know, with the transfer portal,
it it's just created more mystery each year, and and
(25:54):
now that we don't even get spring games and have
a second transfer portal opening. It's just like, do you
really know your team until you actually see them play?
But you know, it's still a still a by game, right,
It's still one that you need to take business of
because the SEC schedule is just that tough.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
You can't afford to lose non conference games.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
And that's why there's been such an argument to changing
the Louisville series. But wasn't Toledo a possible position for
Vince Marrow like when he was looking at jobs. I
feel like it's like maybe he's been in the running
for every job in college football over the last five
or six years, but I think Toledo specifically was one.
But look, I mean, you have some fear for them
(26:33):
for a reason, right, I mean they this is a
team that beat Mississippi State at Mississippi State by double
digits last year. I mean, one of the better teams
in the MAC. So it very easily could be a
bad start to the year for Kentucky in Mark Stoops
And so.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
If you don't beat Toledo, you got much bigger problems
on your hands, right, If you can't beat them, And
I'm not saying they're going to lose to Toledo, but I
think that it could be a close game. So I
don't know that you know, they're going to start the
season off with a blowout win over Toledo, but yeah,
I think it's going to be maybe a little too
close for comfort to start the season.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Well, look, I mean, Kentucky has got to start winning
home games, and I'm not talking about just sec home games,
like they have got to take care of business in
front of their fans. And in a year where you
have one last home game and you've increased the season
ticket prices, I mean there is you know, I think
some resentment by the fan base. You heard when you
talk when Matt talked about it on KSR about all
(27:31):
the people calling in not renewing their tickets and you know,
any of the openings available for season tickets. So that
is I think a reflection of Kentucky not being able
to get it done at home. You've got to start
beating Vanderbilt, you know what I mean, Like these these
are non negotiable.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
And South Carolina, yeah, I mean, come on, there was
a long stretch where Kentucky Football owned South Carolina and
now we flip back to where we were before. Where
Now South Carolina's beating Kentucky every year, So you got
to get those games back. Before we go back to
the phone, I got to ask you your opinion on this, Billy,
and I don't know that you really have. I don't
know that really you should have an opinion on this
(28:07):
as somebody who proposed to his girlfriend at the jfk assassination.
So hold on now, observation power thinking. But did you
see Brock Vandergriff? Did you see what he did?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yes, Brock Vandergrift proposed to his girlfriend with an antler
with the ring on the antler, and on the antler
was painted the words will you marry me? Billy?
Speaker 2 (28:30):
What in the hill, billy hell does this?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I mean, I've never heard he's proposing to his girlfriend
with an antler with a ring on it on the horn?
What'd you take on this? Fair or foul? Proposing with
a deer antler?
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Well, look, the antler's like painted, it's got flowers on it, says.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Will you marry It's still an antler. It was still
a part of a live animal at one point.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I uh, look, I mean, to each their own right,
it's it's corny but love finds a way, Shannon, I'm
completely fair with this. I you know Brock Vandergriff, you know,
it is his life going out there and sitting in
the stand and finding a deer to shoot. So why
not find somebody that will spend the rest of your
(29:17):
life with you, that likes the same things you do?
Speaker 2 (29:19):
So I think it is fair.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
It's more about the couple than it is Shannon the
Dude or any morning radio host judging them for what
they find special sand And so I'm going to one
hundred percent corny, but one hundred percent fair.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Love always finds a way.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Please, you're calling it corny. I think if you propose
with an antler, you could call it horny. What's up, Larry.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Well? I too stayed up last night and watched that
Netflix show on Find an Obama. But if you're interested
in that sort of stuff, there's a fabulous book called
The Looming Tower that's about what Obama was up to
during all those years and how he built his power base.
Oh sorry, Osama, bin Lauden, my mistake. I apologize.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Yeah, So it's.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
A it's a it's a terrific book because it it
the the show last night tells you about how they
finally found him, but this book tells you what he
was doing during all years.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yeah. I find that stuff fascinating. Yeah, just the behind
the scenes stuff. I've seen that video, you know, several
times of when you know George Bush is they're reading
to the kids and he's trying to not react because
he doesn't want to scare anybody. Right. But imagine, though, Billy,
you're the president. You're just going for a you know,
a little visit with an elementary school, and you're reading
(30:46):
this book. You think it's going to be a normal day,
and you get somebody come up and whisper in your
ear that America is under attack.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
America is under attack.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
I mean, I don't think I could keep a cool
head like he did in that in that uh circumstance,
and he's pretty crazy.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Gold stand and say, you're going to have to excuse me.
You know, I've got to deal with the situation. Yeah,
you know, there's a way to react to it without
standing up and making the children scared. But I also
found fascinating the counter terrorism units and how they were
blamed for, you know, just unbelievable failures. But you know
they were working as hard as anybody. I mean, they
(31:19):
were the only ones trying to even find Osama or
to stop these things, so I did feel bad for them.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
The thing that I found really chilling was when they said,
you know, we don't know if they're going to try
to fill up playing into this elementary school, right, And
I heard that, I'm like, yeah, that's unfathomable. I mean,
can you even imagine.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
It's just I mean the people in the Pentagon didn't
think they were going to be hit either, right, right,
But here was a guy that was a sole survivor
from his unit to survived that. So there was It
was good. It was really good. And it's still chilling
to watch that footage that you see in the first
ten minutes of the episode one next What's up?
Speaker 7 (31:58):
You have them going down? All right, man, Jan And
I was just wanting to ask you about use every
every Companion Baseball been on SEC plus this year next
and nobody has it so you you couldn't even get
you can even find it on the box, Well I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
This past weekend. I found some of them on there,
but I could not find that one. I actually had
to go to actually find it on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
We have found the box's limits.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Well, it was on YouTube. I think, you know sometimes
if you go on YouTube. I don't know how this happens, Billy,
but I guess there's somebody who's streaming it on YouTube.
I don't think they have the license to do that.
But I'm just saying, if you dig far enough, you
can find it.
Speaker 7 (32:44):
Yeah, yeah, I was. I've been wondering because I've been
figure I have a fire stick that I get everything,
but I can't get a SEC plus up either. So
I was wondering to fight out the box, I would
have it.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
So yeah, yeah, I mean possibly so, but I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Probably nine times out of ten, Peanut, you will. You
just got to find it. That's the thing with that
media boxes. There's there's no direction.
Speaker 7 (33:05):
There's like I get all the ESPN plus but no
SEC plus.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
It's wow.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yea, all right, Peanut anything thanks for the call. I
appreciate it, Billy. We need to mention this. Sean Woods
was announced this morning as the head coach for Lo Familia.
Excited about that Scott County head coach and now he's
going to be the head coach of Lo Familia for
TVT this summer.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
We talk about the success of former KSR pre show
co hosts all throughout different walks of life. And now
Sean Woods has not only found a new job with
Scott County, he's going to be the coach of the
TVT team, and and that makes sense. You know, I
guess with Tyler Eulis being at Arkansas, you know, I'm
sure he would love to come back, but maybe they're
a little logistical issues there. But you know, Sean is
(33:55):
going to do some great things over at Scott County,
I hope, And so this would be a good start
for it, and hopefully the TVT team can you can
get another win versus Louisville because we're gonna have to
go into Freedom Hall to win that game. If they
do meet, I would think that the tournament organizers are
going to have to make sure that these two teams
meet at some point, right.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
I didn't really follow it, I would hope. So I
didn't really follow it really too much before last year,
but last year I kind of got into it, and
you know, I guess maybe you know, the Kentucky Lovell
game sparked a lot of interest, but it was a
lot of fun. Last year, and I'm looking forward to
you know, the team this year hopefully.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
How about Nate Sistina being a baller, Yeah, and I
mean making up for lost time and people getting spit
on and Drew getting sucker punched. I mean, come on,
We're set up for a great round two.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
We're gonna wrap Drew and bubble wrap this time if
we play in Freedom Holliday Hey five nine to twenty
two eighty seven. We'll come back with our final segment
of the KSR Pre Show. All right, welcome back. It
is the final segment of the KSR Pre Show. The
segment sponsored by Silk Velvet Whiskey, my new favorite bourbon
(35:02):
that's out there, and it is a historic brand, revived
first craft it back in eighteen eighty and Henderson, Kentucky.
And this is not just your average bottle of bourbon.
We're talking top shelf bourbon here, the good stuff, put
together and brought back by the Hargus family, handpicked by
award winning master distiller Jab Call. And it's over a
century in the making where every sip tells the story.
(35:24):
Silk Velvet, like I said, revived by the Hargess family.
Craft it for those who know their bourbon, bold, smooth
and unapologetically Kentucky aged six years to perfection. You won't
find any gimmicks here, just real honest bourbon with heritage
and every drop handcrafted, hand selected, and made to be
enjoyed as smooth as silk and Rich's velvet. They're going
to be at our KSR Golf Scramble, Billy, coming out
(35:46):
we are, So if you're going to be at the
golf scramble, you try make sure, yeah, make sure you
try it and you end up wanting to buy a bottle.
And if you do want to buy a bottle, you
can get it at liquor stores throughout Kentucky. You can
go to Silk Velvet Whiskey dot com. Make sure you
give them a follow on social media as well, and
they'll let you know exactly where you can find Silk
Velvet Whiskey. Billy. Are you concerned about these inmates that
(36:08):
escaped in Louisiana? They've been on the run now for
several days. I know we were talking a little bit
about it during the break, but apparently it was like,
what was it a dozen I think that escaped and
there's still six on the run now.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Yeah, it was ten ten and kind of like the
Netflix documentary. I've been fascinated by this too.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Ten people escaped last Friday from a New Orleans prison
and they did it in like a hole in the
plumbing behind a toilet. There's like riding on the wall
under above the hole. That says too easy, like they're
mocking the guards.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
I like they spelled it wrong, though too well, they
put too easy, but they put to o not too
of course, you know, I don't know. If I don't know,
you expect anybody has gave me from prison to be
grammatically correct.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
But you're right, they've they've found a few of them.
One was sleeping on a like a bench in just
in New Orleans. Another one was trying to hide it
in a band in house. But they're saying that this
this was impossible without staff involvement, Shannon, So they think
that there's somebody on the inside that may have helped
these people get out. But there's some surveillance footage of
(37:12):
them jumping off the dock. One guy's got like a
blanket and he's tripping all over himself. I don't know, Shannon, Uh,
did you ever watch Prison Break?
Speaker 1 (37:20):
The TV show? No? No, but I have watched Almost
Got Away with It. I am talk about shows that
I love the good and then a lot of these
episodes on that show is about people breaking out, right,
But like, what's what's in it for the person? Like,
let's let's say it's the jailer, Okay, that's doing like
an inside job and allowing these people to escape from prison.
What's in it for them? I mean, the worst thing
(37:42):
that's gonna happen to them is they're gonna end up
in jail, right, But what's the upside other than just
letting people go.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
I don't know, maybe develop relationships with these hardened criminals.
As a guard, I would I would think that you would,
you know, they'd tell you to keep your distance. But
maybe that's just the little humanity coming out in the
guards wanting to get these guides out of a tough situation.
Maybe they're promised, you know, things on the outside. Probably
these hardened criminals have mob ties and things like that. Shannon,
(38:11):
I mean, hey, you help me out, I'll help you out.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
If you're breaking out of prison, Billy, where's the first
place you're going?
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Waffle house?
Speaker 1 (38:16):
I gotta eat?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
And they're not gonna tell, I.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Mean nobody's waffle house. They get all suspicious about this
guy in an orange jumpsuit just walking in all muddy,
ordering a smothered and covered hause.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Is that not just another night at waffle house? I
think if you're gonna get any grub, they would turn
the other way. I think that'd be the first place
I've got to go.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
So you're saying the one place you could fit in
late at night as a waffle house walking in in
a jumpsuit.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Yeah, but then I don't know what I'm doing, Like
I I really don't. Like, maybe you go to a
family member or friends, but.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
That's obvious that's the first place the police are going. True.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
But like I feel like if I, you know, try
to cross state lines or just try to travel, I'm
gonna get picked up on security footage things like that
and they'll find me in an instant.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
So like twenty twenty five shit, and you're not hiding.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
I mean those cameras everywhere.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
The guy that uh, you know, shot the was it
the CEO in New York a year or so ago?
I mean they were They found him into McDonald's right,
like it was just like it's bizarre like with the people.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Uh, you know, just footage being.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Out there and pictures of yourself is it's it's harder
to hide more than ever.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Yeah, well, I mean, like the first if you're going
to McDonald's. First of all, why are you going to
waf Wiles? Why are you going anywhere like that? Because
you know you're going to be recognized if you go
to a cast dumpster diving and.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
You have food and yes, the bakery dumpster when they
throw out the doughnuts.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
At the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
I'm just saying, like, I'm not going to just walk,
you know, to the McDonald's next to the police station.
If you're breaking out of prison the sue.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Cream machine's broke and you start throwing stuff and a scene.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Yeah, Billy, I continue to get foreign money. This is
something that just will not stop. And I don't know
if you saw me post this a couple of days ago.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Yeah, I saw this one.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
I got twenty is it kiots or chaot or cats?
We're gonna call it twenty cats. You tell me ky ats,
twenty cats, I'm gonna call it. I got this from
somebody that also wrote a little note that goes along
with it. It says, I listen to your show all the time.
Originally from Tera Hot, Indiana, but now I live in Florida.
Earlier in the week, you guys were talking about eating raccoon.
(40:19):
Were we talking? Yeah, we were. You know, we're talking
about eating roadkill.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
A couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
It was Xavier Legette was talking about eating raccoon with
the guy Ferrari.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Ferrari, Yeah, got here take it thereby? Yeah, he says.
My daddy had a red bone coonhound and hunted all
the time. You said you didn't think you would like
to eat it, but you're wrong. If you like deer,
you would like raccoon. After you skin it, you trim
off all the fat except for enough to cook in it.
Cook it in. I used the good barbecue sauce. Bake
it in the oven. You'll be surprised at how good
(40:49):
it really is. I had. This is my best, my
favorite part of this whole thing. This is the best part.
I have fed it to a lot of people and
not told them what it is until after they had
eaten it. They really loved it. I know you collect
form money. Here's my contribution. Redbone Howie Billy, I don't
know about you. But if you bring me over to
your house for dinner and you cook me raccoon without
(41:09):
letting me know what it is, I'm gonna be a
little mad at you.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
What do you mean you don't want to have a
little of my mystery meat? No, man, I just put
it on the gas grill. It's nice and cooked. You
put it in a new life, he says. You just
slather barbecue sauce on a raccoon and throw it in
an oven.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
Fair or foul? Not telling somebody what you're cooking for him,
that's foul.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
You can't tell them. You can't tell them, you know,
come over for chili, but we're really eating chili with raccoon.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
Bee.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Well, sometime it's good for him.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
I think it's safe to assume that if we're having,
you know, chili, it's gonna be ground beef, not ground raccoon.
So I'm going for a percent foul. Don't invite me
over on your new grill and try to.
Speaker 3 (41:46):
You're getting the foot on doing and you come over
and you're gonna have no idea what you're eating.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
Hey.
