call on the Clark's Pupping Shop phone line at eight
five nine two eight Oho twenty two eighty seven.

Be our whiskey Thief Call of the Day and.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
The KSR pre Show as always being brought to you
by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington. We continue to
go to the Bullpen with Billy out all week. He'll
be back on Monday. But today we're bringing in the
stat Guru, the guy who can find your most embarrassing
picture on the Internet that you didn't even know existed.
He is Corey Price and he's joining me here in
(00:36):
the Lobal studio. Good morning, Corey.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I'm doing great channing. Speaking of embarrassing pictures? You you
have a great one with me today?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
That was it looks like what how old were you?
There was that eighth grade? Sixth grade?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
That is sixth grade, so it's the ninety seven ninety
eight school years, so I think I'm twelve.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, you got that ugly Dallas Cowboys on man? Are
you still a Cowboys fan?
Speaker 4 (01:02):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
But shocker a kid in the nineties wearing a Dallas jersey.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
See I was.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I was the kid in the nineties wearing the oversized
you know those starter jackets, remember those that were so
I had like the oversized Green Bay Packers starter jacket,
and I was such a fan. I would wear like
Green Bay stuff every day.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I had like.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
A Green Bay Packers trapper keeper for those days.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Those are pretty sweet.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Oh yeah, yeah, I was all about the Packers. But
you know, being a Packers fan in middle school, and
you know, everybody else was a Dallas Cowboys fan, and
the Dallas Cowboys used to just drum the Packers every
time they would play. So it was it was tough
for me, you know, being a Packers fan in the nineties,
having to go up against all those Dallas Cowboy fan
teammate or you know, classmates in middle school. So yeah,
(01:50):
you were right there with them. You know a lot
of a lot of Cowboys fans back then. But you know,
they haven't been how long has it been since they've
been to the playoffs?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Playoff? I don't know, but I know the last time
they won the Super Bowl I think was nineth five
or ninety six, so it's been a long time. I
do enjoy I think I have the Captain Morgan type
type stance there with you do yeah, py pre sweet.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You can see that at Shannon the Dude on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
So, you know, you're a great example of someone who
found success just doing something that you enjoyed doing and
you sort of parlayed that into a job with Tom
Leach and the broadcast crew for do you do basketball
too or just football?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Just football?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, But you know people ask me all the time,
like how do I get involved in radio? Well, we
don't really do internships anymore. That's kind of how I
got involved, you know, twenty one years ago when I
was in college, did an internship. They liked me and
they hired me. If it was kind of you know,
that simple. But you know, people say, oh, how do
you get into radio? This is a great, good, you know,
good example of how you took an opportunity to work
(02:54):
with Tom Leach and you know provide stats throughout the games.
And you just did it by just getting on Twitter
and tweeting out interesting stats and things that nobody else
could find. You were able to find, you know, a
stat for anything. It seemed like, and now here you are.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I've I said time and time again, I'm extremely lucky
and fortunate. I think I have the best job working
next to Tom Leitch, the voice to Walkats. He's an
awesome guy, pros pro. But you're right, just whatever you
want to do in life, just stick with it. It
might take longer than you might think, but as long
as you work hard and you keep trying, things will
(03:36):
open up for you.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And you know we're anytime we were talking about a
specific person, or maybe a person that we have never
even heard of, like Dan Skirkuff, you're able to pull
up pictures from like their middle school years. It's amazing
you're able to find all these things. But you know what,
I'm hoping you don't find any more embarrassing pictures of me.
(03:58):
I feel like there's enough embarrassing maictures of me already
out there on Google, so you don't have to you
don't have to go too far to find those. Now,
I gotta tell you tomorrow we're gonna be in Somerset
for KSR and the KSR pre Show, and then later
on tomorrow night, the band Alice Blue Gown is going
to be playing at the Virginia. That's the same place
we're going to be doing the rope remote for tomorrow morning,
(04:20):
So come out for the remote and then come back
later on Tomorrow night for the band playing there at
the Virginia. It looks like a really nice theater. Are
you gonna be there? Are you coming out? You bringing
the crew?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I am. I'm gonna be there for both the pre
show and actually both shows Tomorrow night in Somerset and
Saturday night in Nightston. Oh man, And I was wondering,
I'm trying to think. I can't remember a time where
y'all played back to back nights. Go done it before?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yeah, but it's been a long time. We don't do
many back to back nights.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
So let's just hope that by the end of Saturday
night that I actually have a voice.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah, have plenty of honey or whatever you need.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Oh yeah, well that's on the rider.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
That's on the rider for so we actually get a
for the summerset, which is really cool.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
So are you going to disclose what's on the rider?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I could probably dig that up. We've okay, so we
had a rider. I think most people know what a
rider is, like you know, bands get a list of
requests that they want to put into the venue and
that's usually then what the venue goes out and gets
and has set up in the green room for the
band once you get there. So we did one with
(05:28):
Third Eye Blind. When we opened up for Third Eye Blind,
they were like, hey, you get a rider. I'm like, oh,
that's cool. So we put together like a short list
of things. Although we did get a little bit bougie
because we're like, you know what, who knows we may
never get to open up for a band that sold
ten million albums ever again, so let's get a little
bit bougie, you know. I think our bass player like
threw in requests for a cupcake mescato and like some
(05:51):
Miggy Beef jerkey and some tin Mint Girl Scout cookies,
and I'm like, all right, you know, we're.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Getting a little too boogie here.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
So I had to remove some of those items from
the Alloys Bluegown rider for for summer set. But yeah, okay,
I'll go through it. Here it is, I got it
right here in front of me. So this is a
very very short rider. And I've seen some of these, like,
you know, the big timers you know, like Joan Jet
and Dion Warwick. I've seen their riders. They go like
ten pages deep. Oh boy, this one's like our riders,
(06:21):
not even a half a page deep.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
So here we go, short and sweet.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, a room with sufficient comfortable seating with climate control.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I don't feel like that's much.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
It seems fair.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Just give us a room we can hang out in.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
That's got you know, an ac Yes, that's not a
lot to ask for, all right, A twenty four pack
of water go through a lot.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Of water when it seems fair.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah, you're you're sweating a lot up there. You know,
we're just chugging down waters the whole time. A pack
of sugar free Red Bull. Got to get the energy going,
you know, especially if I'm going to be there all day,
driving up the summerset that morning and going to be
hanging out all day.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You gotta have some energy going.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Absolutely, A bag my bag container of party mix, you know,
like the checks mix stuff, snacky food, that type of thing.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I did keep the two pack of Original Mini Beef
Jerkey or similar on there, because that is good stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
And I'm not even a spongor I'm not even an
endorser of them. But that's good stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
A veggie tray with rnch dip, you know, trying to
work in a little bit of nutrition here.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Some healthy stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Well, six towels, you know when you come off stage,
so you can wipe the sweat off your brow.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Some beer. You know, you gotta have a little bit
of beer. So we're asking for a twelve pack of beer.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Any silk velvet maybe.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Well, you know again, like silk velvet is very very
good bourbon, but it's also not a twenty dollars bottle
of bourbon, right, you know, it's it's high quality bourbon.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
So I didn't ask for that.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I figured if you're gonna ask for beer, you shouldn't
also ask for bourbon because then they're going to be like,
did you come here to play or get drunk?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Like which one is it?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
But you know, a beer or two maybe before you
go out there, always, you know, get you in the
right mindset. Some throat coat tea packs That's what I'm
talking for you, Yeah, man.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Like that is. I don't know if anybody.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Has ever had these throat coat tea packets, but if
you're a singer, I feel like they're a must and
then of course you've gotta have a microwave or something
to heat it up. So we've asked for a microwave
and then a pack of solo cups. That's the rider
right there. I don't feel like that's much. That's very simple,
especially compared to Dion Warwick, who was asking for like
a bottle of Chrystal and a flat screen TV and
(08:32):
all these different things when she played a couple of
years ago at the amp out of New Haven. So
I feel like, compared to hers, you know that we're
not asking for a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
So what would be on the Corey Price rider?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
What's your request if you got anything that you would
have to like must haves for your green room if
you're in a band.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Uh, definitely water. I'm a big water guy. Yeah, I
like your bassist. I love me some girl Scout thin Mins. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And it was off season. It wasn't even like during season.
This was like, this was in October. I'm going, man, like,
they're not gonna be able to find them Mint girls,
Scout Cook. Apparently you can buy these year round. I
had no idea that that's a game changer for me.
So now that I know I can go get some
MOA's or thin Mint's year round. That's not good for
the waist.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Stuff yeah, stuff. Yeah, and then I think I think
Matt mentioned this yesterday, the dots pretzels those, Yeah, so
that's probably my top three.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yep, that's good stuff there. So yeah, look forward to
that Tomorrow night and then Saturday night.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
As you said, we're gonna be playing also in Lexington
at the Seaton Summerfest where the headlining band. There's gonna
be bands going on all day long. On Saturday, we're
gonna be playing at eight o'clock, So come on out
for both of those shows. The Summerset show is a
ticket at show, you have to have tickets to get
into that. The one on Saturday in Lexington is a
free show. So look forward to seeing everybody out there
(09:54):
this weekend. Now, Yesterday, Corey, I hit on a topic
towards the end of the show show. It sort of
took off with a lot of responses, and I felt
like I made a mistake in doing that. I should
have probably mentioned it in the first segment because I
feel like we would have gotten feedback throughout the show.
So I'm sort of circling back to a topic that
I brought up towards the end of yesterday's pre show,
(10:15):
and that is for those of you who are in
the dating world, you've heard of Tender. Everybody knows Tender.
Even if you're not in the dating world, you've heard
of it. You go on there, you swipe left, you
swipe right, and you know, try to.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Make a match.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Well, now, if you are on Tender, you can pay
for a higher tier subscription and when you do that,
you have the ability to filter out short people. Basically,
you can filter it's a height filter that you've got
on there. You can filter out the height of the
person that you're trying to match with. And I asked
the question yesterday and I got it. I got a
(10:49):
lot of response, But I want to continue this today.
I want to throw this out there to the ladies.
If you're dating a guy, and I guess it depends
on how tall you are personally, comes to your preference
of how tall the person is that you're dating. What
is the minimum height that you would be willing to
date on Tender? Like, if you're let's say you're on Tender,
(11:11):
you're swiping left and right, but you get to put
the the height.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Minimum on there? What are you going with?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Is it like five foot seven, five foot eight, five
foot nine ten? Like where is like the line of
what's considered a quote unquote short person? Because I just
I just need to know, like, you know, how far
above average am I before I'm you know, missing the
cut off line. Not that I'm in that dating world anyway,
but just out of curiosity from the ladies out there
that let's say you're on Tender, what would be the
(11:39):
minimum height that that you're gonna put on there on
the filter?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You don't have to worry about it. You're you're a
tall guy.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
So I just think this whole thing's fascinating though, that
now Tender is allowing you to basically filter out short people.
And I'm wondering how many guys are now going to
get on there and just lie about their height.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
So that they make the cut you know.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Well, like I said, I'm six four, so I don't.
I don't, I real don't feel the need to lie,
but I was wondering. You know, Pat Kelsey, he's now
what I'm saying, he's he's now currently married with children
like like ol out Bundy. But if he was on
those apps, would he say he's like five eleven?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Well, how tall is he?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Like, I think he's five eight or five nine?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Five eight or five nine?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
See Mario was saying yesterday he had an interesting take.
He was like, you know, if you are actually five eight,
you can get away with saying you're five to ten.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I'm like, I don't know about that, man.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Like, you know, if you're wearing lifts, you know, in
your shoes, you know, if you're maybe two inches taller,
if you're got, if you got shoes on.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I guess you could say that, But I don't know.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Man.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I feel like you're kind of skirting the rules here though.
But I just foresee a lot of guys knowing that
this is the thing, they're now gonna lie about the
race because otherwise, how can tender even confirm how tall
you actually are? Like, I mean, I'm sure Corey Price
could find it out maybe, but how could Tender?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
So I think one another debate is who do we
think lie more on their personal whatever on apps? Do
you think men lie more? Do we think women lie more?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I don't know that it's one or the other. I
think probably both sides lie quite a bit, right. You know,
Luckily I haven't been in that world in a long time,
and you know, I was on Tender briefly and then
that was it. So I just want to know from
the ladies out there, what does the minimum height of
a guy that you would date? Eight five nine, twenty
two eighty seven at Shannon the Dude on Twitter?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
And what your Twitter is? What at corey ps e
zero eight?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, So as far as, like you know, a whole
lot of sports news is not a whole lot going on.
We do have the Pacers tonight in the finals. Okay,
see in the Pacers. Who do you got in that?
In that finals? Do you think Oklahoma City is going
to be able to hold off the Pacers? Do you
think the pay come in and shock everybody and end
up winning a title?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Who do you got?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
The entire season, the Thunder had been the best team
in the league, sixty eight wins. I think they set
the record for largest average scoring marchin for a season. Obviously,
they have Shae the best player in the league. He's
played the best in the playoffs. Pacers have They've shown
that they're tough. They've had a lot of comebacks, throughout
(14:29):
the playoffs. But I think Shae and even Cason or
justgree too much. I'm gonna go with Thunder in five games.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Ooh and five? Okay, all right, I think the Thunder win.
I think it goes a little bit farther. I'll say
Thunder and six. I think the Pacers put up at
least a little bit of a fight. My favorite thing though,
that has come from the NBA Playoffs involves Indiana and
their fans and a couple of guys that I'm really
not really a fan of.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Necessarily.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I'm talking about Pat McAfee and John mellenc Did you
see this whole thing that we talked about it briefly,
I think on Freddy at the Golf Scramble, but it
was during the Pacers and Knick series, and Pat McAfee
at some point gets on the PA mike and he
starts just taking shots at the New York Nick fans
that are celebrities that are there at the game in Indianapolis.
(15:18):
You know, he's taking a shot at Spike Lee and
Ben Stiller and a couple of others. I noticed that
he didn't bring up fifty cent, you know, fifty cent
was there but he didn't bring up fifty cent. He
was picking on all the skinny guys, right. You know,
I think you for McAfee, you know better than to
pick on a guy who got shot nine. You know,
had nine bullets on him and still survived. I don't
(15:38):
think you want to mess with that guy. But then
John Mellencamp spoke out against McAfee and was like, you know,
this guy doesn't represent Pacers fans.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
He needs to shut up.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
And I just find a lot of irony in John
Mellencamp telling Pat McAfee that he doesn't need to be
ripping on the fans when John Mellencamp himself is just
a grumpy old man who, now if you go to
any of his concerts, there's a good ninety five percent
chance he's going to stop one of his songs mid
song and start roasting his fans because he doesn't like
(16:10):
when anybody gets too loud at his concerts. So for
a guy that clearly doesn't have a problem calling out
his fans, I think it's interesting that John Mellencamp decided
to call out Pat McAfee and now McAfee is hitting
Mellencamp back.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
On his show. I don't know if you heard McAfee
basically telling John Mellencamp to shut the hell up.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
So I love this McAfee Mellencamp beef that's going on.
Like talk about two unlikely guys to have a beef,
Mellencamp and McAfee going at each other.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
And I don't.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I mean, I like Mellencamp's music, but he's an old curmudgeon.
I don't really like his personality, and I definitely don't
like McAfee.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I think he's a big goof.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
So I'm really having a hard time deciding on like
who I'm for in this battle between Mellencamp and McAfee.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yeah, like I said, I agree with you. I'm not
the biggest fan of Pat, but I don't I don't
see a big deal in roasting the opposing teams fans.
I mean, it's it's sports, it's not it's not life
for death. Yeah, So I guess I leaned slightly towards
Pat this time. But I will say, you know, with
the finals coming up, I really want to bet on
(17:23):
like Shay and the Thunder and all these player props. Shannon,
do you know if there is a way for me
to do that by any chance.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, it's on DraftKings and well yeah, we'll
get to that in just a minute, but we are
late for a break, so I got to get to that,
and I'll tell you about DraftKings coming up in just
a few minutes, and we'll take your calls. Eight five
nine two eight h twenty two eighty seven. It's Share
Them the Dude and Corey Price sitting in for Billy.
We'll be right back and take your calls on the
KSR pre Show.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
All right, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
It is the KSR pre Show, Sha Them the Dude,
Corey Price sing in for Billy Relige. So the early
results are in on the height minimum that you know,
if you're on tender that you would you would set
the like the minimum to looks like five foot eight
is the overall consensus so far on average anyway, I've
(18:09):
seen you know, mixed results five nine five to seven,
uh five ten five six one person plus. You know,
I think it's all relative to how tall you actually are.
You know, if if you're you know, five foot tall,
you may be willing to, you know, date a guy
who's five foot seven, But if you're five foot ten,
you can't be dating somebody it's five foot seven, you know.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It all depends on how tall you are.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
I think I was five foot eight in that sixth
great picture.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I think probably, Yeah, you probably were eight five nine
two twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:41):

slash details. Before we go to the phones, do you
believe the guy that called in yesterday?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Corey?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
We were talking about the the odd filled dimensions of
Morehead State. We were talking about, you know, right field
is really short and it kind of just slants from
right field straight across the center field. We had a
caller who said that endangered salamanders are behind that wall
and at Morehead State's campus in the baseball field, and
(20:11):
that's why they had to do that. So do you
think there's any actual truth to that? Do we have
endangered salamanders in Kentucky? First of all, I have no
IDEA great question.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
I'm sure there might be there somewhere. I think that
location specifically, it sounds like maybe like an urban legend.
I have a hard time believing that they would make
the field look that drastically really bad for that. I
think maybe like I think maybe Ryan said or someone
said that, I think it's like partial football field too,
(20:41):
so that might be why the dimensions are kind of wonky.
But a hard time believing it's for some dangerous salamanders.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I'm going with somebody just told them that and then
they just ran with it, and that was the joke.
Like when I was at Bellerman, we would always take
the freshman out for what we would call snipe hunting.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Do you know what that is?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Uh No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Actually, well, we would always tell everybody that the freshman
that'll come in, hey, we gotta take you out.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
It was Joe Creaes in Park.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
We're gonna take you go to Joe crees and Park
at night and you gotta go snipe hunting. And the
joke was, there is not such a thing as as
snipe got it, So we would take the freshman out
there and basically leave them in the park by themselves.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
It's kind of saying, go to the pool party on
the on the fourth floor of of your high school.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Some you know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Uh, let's go to the phones and talk to Jason.
We got about a minute before the break. Go ahead, Jason,
what's up?
Speaker 6 (21:32):
Hi U? Yesterday Darren K Sorry, Matt Jones was talking
about Bailey's Them Man is scotting with Querry. I was
wondering if you could give mad a message for me.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Well, you can call KSR. I mean that's next hour.
You can give the message to them yourself.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Yeah, I don't think I can. I got something i'd do.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Okay, all right, okay, all right, So I gotta I
gotta be the middle man. You want me to be
the guy who delivers messages to Matt, like I don't
have enough things going on?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
All right, go ahead, what is it?
Speaker 6 (22:02):
Okay? So tell man if he don't quit talking Matt
about this new country music because it's my favorite, I'm
gonna come up the likes and then and plant my
boat in his butt so it looks like one of
your pumps.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Okay, Well, I think you should be the.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
One to tell it.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
All right, the call, Jason, I appreciate it's the first call.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah, I feel like that's got to be the call
to day.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I don't think that's gonna be tough, but we'll take
some more of your phone calls coming up next. I
kind of agree with Matt though new country music does suck. Jason,
you have to take both of us on more of
the pre show next. All right, welcome back KSR pre show.
So this is Bailey Zimmerman, who that last caller brought up.
I'm giving it a chance here. Okay, you're not gonna
(22:47):
convince me that this new country is any better than
any We're close forget about being better any We're close
to nineties country, forget about it.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Nothing beats nice country, yeah nothing.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Come on, yeah, So I'm team Matt on this one. Now, Okay,
here a couple of other things, A couple of corrections here.
I said, I think last segment that sniper birds aren't real. Well,
Ken's Cats sends me a picture and says snipers actually
are real.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
So let's make that correction.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Facts are optionally even on.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
The pre show.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
And then our friend Richie Farmer writes in it says
that salamanders actually are endangered in the Morehead area, the
yellow spotted woodland salamander. So is it possible that the
that the yellow spotted woodland salamander is the reason that
the Morehead State baseball field looks the way that it does.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Man, I guess, I mean, Richie would never lie to us.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
No, rich Richie's just going to google. He's just you know,
he just he just.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
I mean, Richie might might know it off the top
of his head.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
You So, speaking of like crazy outfield dimensions, I kind
of went down this this rabbit hole of some of
the like the old school baseball fields.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Have you ever seen like the layout of the Polo Grounds?
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yes, that was insane.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
So just to give you an idea, I know, like
it's it's one of these things that is easier to visualize,
but just google the Polo Grounds baseball field dimensions. The
shape of the field was like a like a high
school track. It's four hundred and eighty three feet to
dead center field only two hundred and fifty eight feet
down the right field line. I mean, that's a huge discrepancy.
(24:29):
We're talking about, you know yesterday, the like why are
all baseball fields different dimensions? And the Polo Grounds is
like one of the extreme versions of that. Then there's
there was the Baker Bowl, which was in Philadelphia. It
was just two hundred and eighty feet in right field,
but had a sixty foot tall wall.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Oh my god, that's bigger than.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
The Green Monster. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
By comparison, like the Green Monster in Finnway is thirty
seven feet tall. Wo, so nearly you know how tall
the Green Monster is. Imagine a wall nearly twice that tall.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
That's what they had at the Baker Bowl in Philadelphia.
But it's crazy though. We bring this up.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
And then yesterday, I don't know if you saw the
ending to the Red Sox game, but there was a
walk off homer and it was the shortest walk off
home run in modern day history or at least on
the records that since they've been tracking, like you know,
how far a home run ball can be hit. It
was at like three hundred and eight feet and that
was that was the walk off, the shortest walk off
(25:28):
and on record in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Kind of crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
We were just talking about the crazy field dimensions, and
then that happened yesterday, A five twenty two eighty seven.
Let's go to the phones and talk to Glenn in Pennsylvania.
What's up, Glenn?
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Hey, guys, how's it going today?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Good Man?
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Hey? Got a question? I got a question for Corey,
And I'll preface it with I was serving an apprenticeship
several years ago when I first started working, and the
guy was working for told me, you don't need to
know all the answers, you just need to know where
to find the answers. So my question to Corey is
(26:05):
how much of his knowledge comes from just his knowledge
and how much of it comes from knowing where to
find that knowledge. I'll hang up and hope you guys
have a good weekend.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Yeah, good question, Glenn, Thanks for the call. So, Corey,
how much is up there in your head already and
how much do you actually have to research?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I mean, I would like to think I've got a
pretty good base knowledge of especially stuff all UK, but
I mean I'm obviously I don't know everything. So yeah,
there's a few sites I go to for my research.
I know John John Scott's website is like the best
website and all of the land. He's got anything and
(26:44):
everything in terms of UK men's basketball. So if i'll
know something, it's men's basketball, that's that's my go to.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
You have to have a good knowledge, like a base knowledge,
because you always crush it when we do KSR trivia
KS bar trivia. So I mean I want to be
on your I want to be on your team if
we ever do trivia.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Speaking of trivia, I I mentioned this to you. I
think the other day. I think Tin Roof and Lowell
was doing a You themed trivia and I thought you
you would be up for that.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Yeah, you on Netflix. I feel like I feel like
I could be good at that.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yeah, if you want to put a put a team
together and go out there for it is as long
as I have a free and eye, I'll do that.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
I was gonna say, if if it's one subject or
topic that you know, we don't, you could guarantee you
you would win at trivia. What what topic would be
for you?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
The price is right, price is right trivia?
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah that, Like I would say full house trivia.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I would do pretty well on The Walking Dead probably,
Uh like what else?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
What else?
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Planing pumpkins?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
No, no, by the way, the pumpkins.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You know, somebody reached out to Matt yesterday and was
worried about the vines growing crazy. We're not to that
point yet, Like, we're just now to the point to
where I have a few plants that have come up
and they've got you know, they're starting to bud leaves,
and that's kind of where we're at right now.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
So they're not they haven't really spread at all.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
So we're not quite to the point to where we
have to worry about my entire backyard being taken over
with vines. A lot of people have said, when you
plant these pumpkins, you got to have a huge space
because they're going to grow everywhere. But we're not to
that point yet, and when we get there, we'll be fine.
I'll keep you guys updated. So I just hope that
I get some pumpkins. I'm not really I've got a
low expectation level, so I'm expecting to get, you know,
(28:39):
maybe a couple, and if I end up with twenty
or thirty, then that's a win and I'll know that
I'm a good gardener.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Let's go to Stub. What's up, Stub, Hey, good morning, guys.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
I didn't know.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
I'm kind of hit on Murray State, and so I
don't know if you guys covered this or not. I
didn't get the chance to listen yesterday. But interesting things.
Up until two thousand, I believe fourteen, they were the
only sporteen at Murray State. They were called the Thoroughbreds
and that's what they always went by in baseball, and
(29:12):
they changed that back in nineteen or twenty fourteen. The
other thing is they're doing all this and they are
either at the bottom accwards the bottom, and funding as
far as facility salaries, all this stuff goes in the
Missouri Valley Conference. So what they're doing despite all that
is really really incredible. You guys have a great one.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yeah, thanks for the costop. I mean is if we
needed another reason to pull for Murray State, there's even
more reason right there that they're doing it with hardly
any funding at all. And luckily they're still in it
because now we have somebody to pull for in the
rest of the NCAA baseball tournament.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
So they take on Duke and that starts. Does that
start tomorrow? When is the.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Believe is tomorrow? And I will say Murray State has
a male hot mail high high school alone, which is
school I went to shout out to the Bulldogs, so
I'm definitely brooding for them. And of course, I mean,
we can't read for Duke.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
So oh yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter what it is,
especially when we got a Kentucky team playing against him. Absolutely, Corey,
have you seen these enhanced games that are that are
happening enhanced games? They're going to be bringing this to
Vegas in twenty twenty six. I want to know if
you would be interested in watching this. Here's the here's
what it says. I'm just going to read it to you.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Here.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
It says participants are permitted to use some substances that
are banned from elite sport. That goes on to say,
but cocaine and heroin are among those that are banned.
I don't know what athlete that would be on heroin.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
First of all, wasn't there a guy in the seventies
or eighties that threw a no hitter and he was
only LSD?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I believe you know that better than me.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I have no idea how true you're telling me a
Major League Baseball pitcher threw a no hitter while he
was on LSD.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
I'm nine percent sure.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Yeah, allegedly.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
I'll try and find there.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I don't think they were drug testing for anything. Back then.
It was the wild West.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
But these swimmers, though, are breaking world records because they're
coming in all jacked up and juiced up and it's
going to be coming to Vegas next year.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
You know, like it kind of has me intrigued a
little bit. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
I don't know if this is just swimming only, but
you know, I kind of felt like we were watching
a version of this back in the nineties when guys
were juicing up. Although back then, you know, the stuff
that the guys were taking, they were saying, well, we
didn't know it was illegal. You know, there were the
very loose rules on drug testing and baseball back in
the nineties. And I still think it's ridiculous the Bonds
and Sosa and McGuire aren't in the Major League Baseball
(31:45):
Hall of Fame. That's a completely different conversation, maybe for
a different day. But would you be willing to watch
sports knowing that the participants are using steroids?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Yeah, that doesn't I mean, knowing upfront that it's kind
of like encourage it doesn't bother me. I mean, I
mean it's for entertainment purposes, so that doesn't bother me.
And I did look it up. Doc Ellis in nineteen
eighty four mentioned that back in nineteen seventy he threw
a no hitter under the influence of LSD.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Now, I've never taken LSD before, but I mean, what
are the effects of LSD. Does it make you like
hallucinate or I mean obviously you're tripping.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Yeah, I wouldn't know. I would assume hallucinations. But I'm
not sure.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
You imagine you're out there though, I mean, what will
be the circumstance. You know that you're gonna be pitching,
you know that you're it's your day to come up
as the starter.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
I mean, you know, long rain delay, Like, I wonder.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
What the situation where he's like, you know what, Yeah,
it's my day to start. But I'm gonna go drop
some LSD before I go out here on the mound.
And if you throw a no hitter, I mean, I
don't know, would you'd be more likely to do it again?
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Yeah, I mean it was nineteen seventies so, and I'm
sure it was very, very rampant.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
I'm just saying, like, you know, I'm not encouraging any
of this.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
But since it exists, since it exists, I'm not gonna lie.
I am sort of intrigued and I will probably be
watching this to see how many more world records can
be broken. When people are on you know, steroids and
no juiced up, so it does have my attention.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Let's go to Kelly. What's up? Kelly?
Speaker 10 (33:26):
Hey, guys, two things really quickly.
Speaker 8 (33:30):
For me.
Speaker 10 (33:31):
I'm five four and I'm definitely not speaking for all
ladies in general by any means, but I'm not going
to date a guy that's shorter than five to ten because,
like my judgment is, if I can fit right under
your chin when I hug you, that's perfect for me.
I love it. Yeah whatever, Yeah, and point number two,
(33:54):
I will give Corey credit. He crushes it on the
UK Questions every week, but there are three other very
valuable members of his team. Uh at trivia every time
we go uh you know, shout out to we're only
here for Mario because we've won twice and we've got
place I think once, so we kind of crush it
(34:15):
as a team.
Speaker 7 (34:16):
Corey gets.
Speaker 10 (34:16):
Corey does get all of the UK Questions usually always,
but he has three other teammates that kind of help
him crush it.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
So yeah, Corey, I think you should get Yeah, yeah,
give your Jennifer.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Yeah, that's right. There's no there's no I team, no
Iron team.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
All right, Kelly, we appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
I'll have a good day you too.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Thanks for the call.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Yeah, you know you probably, I guess when it comes
to the UK questions of the guy that always knows
the answer on your team, but you know there may
be some other random questions.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Oh yeah, it's I mean, Matt has topics that are random,
and it's great to have a team with you, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Hey five eighty seven, I don't think we have time
to take another call, so free bird. Hang on. We
got a couple of other calls we'll get to as well,
and we'll take those coming up next on the final
segment of the KSR Pre Show. We'll be right back,
all right, Welcome back. It is the KSR pre Show.
A five nine two eighty seven tweets coming in at
Shannon the Dude on Twitter, Paint lou Blue says, speaking
(35:18):
of height when dating, have you ever seen this picture
of Shock and his girlfriend? Well, I mean, if you're
shocking your seven foot one or two or whatever he is, figure,
you're going to have a hard time finding anybody close
to your height. I just retweeted that picture for anybody
wants to see that picture of Shock and his girlfriend
or wife. Let's see south side. Shock writes in it,
says Richie is a former head agriculture commissioner, so he
(35:41):
should know about the status of endangered salamanders, and says
that's part of the job.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Is that is that part of the job, being the agriculture.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Commissioner.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Sounds like it's right.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
And then Kevin writes in and he is confirming. I
guess what what you found? Says Doc ellis throw a
no hitter while tripping on acid in the seventies.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
So there you go.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Seventies were just a different time.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Yeah, yeah, Hey, five and nine and two, eight h
twenty two eighty seven. We got some calls. I want
to try to get to as many as we can
before the end of the show. But you said, you know,
Billy sometimes does like national days, right, you know, every
every day is some sort of national holidays. So what
are today's national holidays?
Speaker 3 (36:25):
I think there's like five or six starting off with
National Ketchup Day.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Hey Ketchup. Yeah, I'm not celebrating, no.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
I mean, i'd use it for fries, but that's about it.
National start Over Day is there anything you would like
to start over, Shannon, Maybe playing your pumpkins.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Maybe you asked me in October when I don't have any. Maybe,
So what what else?
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (36:49):
National Veggie Burger Day? No, thank you, no, No.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
If you're gonna do a burger, you gotta do it.
You got to go all in, you got to get
the real deal.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
I think you might like this one. National Moonshine Day.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Ah, yeah, there you go. Yeah. I was endorser of
the Moonshine Trail.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
So and the last one National Gingerbread Day, So.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
You know there's there's a day for everything. Two days
ago it was National Hugger Cat Day. So I don't
know who makes these holidays up, but I guess if
you're a catchup fan, go celebrate. Let's go to free Bird.
What's that free bird?
Speaker 5 (37:20):
Hey guys, it sounds like it's National doc Illis Day.
Speaker 7 (37:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Who knew that doc Ellis would be such a hot topic.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
Oh my gosh. Actually I think too. In the seventy
one All Star Game, it was in Detroit, I think
he started and actually I think he was tripping on too,
because I think that's when Reggie Jackson hit what out
of the stadium. The only time I ever tripped on
the baseball bill was I put too big of a dip.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
You but well, I've done that before too.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
You know, in college, a lot of guys dip and
I was like, you know what, let me let me
try it. Let me try it one time, and I
was like, wow, it hit me like a ton of bricks.
I'm going, yep, I'm never doing that again. That was
the last time I ever did it. Free Bird, next
for the call, Yep, I appreciate thanks for the call.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Free Bird.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Yeah, the good old days of college baseball. When you're
out there, you know, it's batting practice, and you know,
as a pitcher, I wasn't taking many cuts up there,
so I just had to stand out in the outfield
and you know, do what they call shag, you know,
get get the balls and throw them back into the
back into the picture. So I'm sitting out there and
a guy goes, hey, man, you want to dip. I'm going,
(38:35):
all right, give me a little try that, And about
ten minutes later I was I was running sideways back
to the dughouse. However, it was the last time I
ever tried that. Let's go to Carolyn at Carolyn.
Speaker 8 (38:47):
Yes, I know you're going to be in Somerset tomorrow. Yes,
And if you have an opportunity, how we recommend going
to the Salty Hen out on Highway one two thousand
and three. It's very out of the way place on
your way. You might see some of the tornado damage
that it's in a former store out in the country.
(39:11):
Get any better onion rings?
Speaker 1 (39:16):
That sounds amazing, you know. I don't know, oh Fried.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
I don't know though, if I can eat a bunch
of fraud food right before I go up on stage
and perform for two hours.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
But you know what, that does sound amazing. Maybe I'll
do it.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
You know, right after KSR, I'm gonna have some time
to kill in Summerset, and I was trying to figure out,
like what am I going to do from noon until
five o'clock when we have our load in for the
band show, So I may do that. I appreciate that, Carolyn,
thanks for the advice. You're welcome, all right, appreciate you listening. So, yeah,
that's the other thing I was trying to figure out, Corey,
(39:51):
I'm going to be in Summerset tomorrow. KSR is over
at noon and then I got five hours to just
burn and I'm trying to figure out what I'm going
to do. So the salty hen has been added to
the list.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Let's go to Keith. What's up? Keith?
Speaker 7 (40:06):
Hey Shan the first time, long.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Time, hey man, thanks for listening.
Speaker 7 (40:11):
I've been I'm a big Pirate fan than since I
was a little. Unfortunately, but Doc Ellis was there's lots
of lots more history out there than you think, so
you might want to go down that rabbit hole after
you get off the show. There's some great information. He
actually didn't know he was pitching that day. That's that's
(40:33):
there's hold hold on, hold.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
On, hold on, hold on. Let me back up.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
I misunderstood you. You mean he didn't realize he was
supposed to be the starter that day.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
Right right?
Speaker 2 (40:43):
I thought you meant he was so thought he was
so out of his mind he was pitching and didn't
know that he was pitching.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
I thought that's what you read.
Speaker 7 (40:50):
He wasn't aware he was touched today and when you're
rapped at the park, your managers and formed it and
he had already taken. Yeah, but there's a great song
out there. Tonighter wrote a song called America's favorite pastime,
and it's about Doc Ellison that whole.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Day all right. Now, now you've given me homework, and
now i'm you know, I know what I'm gonna be
doing later on today when I'm when I have a
little bit of downtime looking at Doc Ellis's career.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
I think we made this national doc.
Speaker 7 (41:18):
It's a great it's a great informational song.
Speaker 5 (41:20):
Man.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
I'll check that out. Keith, I appreciate you, thanks for
the call.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Who would have thought, I guess you can't say to
your manager, sorry, coach, I'm on LSD today. I can't
go out there and start hey one more time.
Speaker 1 (41:30):

stat Guru, the guy who can find your most embarrassing
picture on the Internet that you didn't even know existed.
He is Corey Price and he's joining me here in
(00:36):
the Lobal studio. Good morning, Corey.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I'm doing great channing. Speaking of embarrassing pictures? You you
have a great one with me today?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
That was it looks like what how old were you?
There was that eighth grade? Sixth grade?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
That is sixth grade, so it's the ninety seven ninety
eight school years, so I think I'm twelve.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, you got that ugly Dallas Cowboys on man? Are
you still a Cowboys fan?
Speaker 4 (01:02):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
But shocker a kid in the nineties wearing a Dallas jersey.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
See I was.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I was the kid in the nineties wearing the oversized
you know those starter jackets, remember those that were so
I had like the oversized Green Bay Packers starter jacket,
and I was such a fan. I would wear like
Green Bay stuff every day.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I had like.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
A Green Bay Packers trapper keeper for those days.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Those are pretty sweet.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Oh yeah, yeah, I was all about the Packers. But
you know, being a Packers fan in middle school, and
you know, everybody else was a Dallas Cowboys fan, and
the Dallas Cowboys used to just drum the Packers every
time they would play. So it was it was tough
for me, you know, being a Packers fan in the nineties,
having to go up against all those Dallas Cowboy fan
teammate or you know, classmates in middle school. So yeah,
(01:50):
you were right there with them. You know a lot
of a lot of Cowboys fans back then. But you know,
they haven't been how long has it been since they've
been to the playoffs?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Playoff? I don't know, but I know the last time
they won the Super Bowl I think was nineth five
or ninety six, so it's been a long time. I
do enjoy I think I have the Captain Morgan type
type stance there with you do yeah, py pre sweet.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You can see that at Shannon the Dude on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
So, you know, you're a great example of someone who
found success just doing something that you enjoyed doing and
you sort of parlayed that into a job with Tom
Leach and the broadcast crew for do you do basketball
too or just football?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Just football?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, But you know people ask me all the time,
like how do I get involved in radio? Well, we
don't really do internships anymore. That's kind of how I
got involved, you know, twenty one years ago when I
was in college, did an internship. They liked me and
they hired me. If it was kind of you know,
that simple. But you know, people say, oh, how do
you get into radio? This is a great, good, you know,
good example of how you took an opportunity to work
(02:54):
with Tom Leach and you know provide stats throughout the games.
And you just did it by just getting on Twitter
and tweeting out interesting stats and things that nobody else
could find. You were able to find, you know, a
stat for anything. It seemed like, and now here you are.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I've I said time and time again, I'm extremely lucky
and fortunate. I think I have the best job working
next to Tom Leitch, the voice to Walkats. He's an
awesome guy, pros pro. But you're right, just whatever you
want to do in life, just stick with it. It
might take longer than you might think, but as long
as you work hard and you keep trying, things will
(03:36):
open up for you.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And you know we're anytime we were talking about a
specific person, or maybe a person that we have never
even heard of, like Dan Skirkuff, you're able to pull
up pictures from like their middle school years. It's amazing
you're able to find all these things. But you know what,
I'm hoping you don't find any more embarrassing pictures of me.
(03:58):
I feel like there's enough embarrassing maictures of me already
out there on Google, so you don't have to you
don't have to go too far to find those. Now,
I gotta tell you tomorrow we're gonna be in Somerset
for KSR and the KSR pre Show, and then later
on tomorrow night, the band Alice Blue Gown is going
to be playing at the Virginia. That's the same place
we're going to be doing the rope remote for tomorrow morning,
(04:20):
So come out for the remote and then come back
later on Tomorrow night for the band playing there at
the Virginia. It looks like a really nice theater. Are
you gonna be there? Are you coming out? You bringing
the crew?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I am. I'm gonna be there for both the pre
show and actually both shows Tomorrow night in Somerset and
Saturday night in Nightston. Oh man, And I was wondering,
I'm trying to think. I can't remember a time where
y'all played back to back nights. Go done it before?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yeah, but it's been a long time. We don't do
many back to back nights.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
So let's just hope that by the end of Saturday
night that I actually have a voice.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah, have plenty of honey or whatever you need.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Oh yeah, well that's on the rider.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
That's on the rider for so we actually get a
for the summerset, which is really cool.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
So are you going to disclose what's on the rider?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I could probably dig that up. We've okay, so we
had a rider. I think most people know what a
rider is, like you know, bands get a list of
requests that they want to put into the venue and
that's usually then what the venue goes out and gets
and has set up in the green room for the
band once you get there. So we did one with
(05:28):
Third Eye Blind. When we opened up for Third Eye Blind,
they were like, hey, you get a rider. I'm like, oh,
that's cool. So we put together like a short list
of things. Although we did get a little bit bougie
because we're like, you know what, who knows we may
never get to open up for a band that sold
ten million albums ever again, so let's get a little
bit bougie, you know. I think our bass player like
threw in requests for a cupcake mescato and like some
(05:51):
Miggy Beef jerkey and some tin Mint Girl Scout cookies,
and I'm like, all right, you know, we're.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Getting a little too boogie here.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
So I had to remove some of those items from
the Alloys Bluegown rider for for summer set. But yeah, okay,
I'll go through it. Here it is, I got it
right here in front of me. So this is a
very very short rider. And I've seen some of these, like,
you know, the big timers you know, like Joan Jet
and Dion Warwick. I've seen their riders. They go like
ten pages deep. Oh boy, this one's like our riders,
(06:21):
not even a half a page deep.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
So here we go, short and sweet.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, a room with sufficient comfortable seating with climate control.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I don't feel like that's much.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
It seems fair.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Just give us a room we can hang out in.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
That's got you know, an ac Yes, that's not a
lot to ask for, all right, A twenty four pack
of water go through a lot.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Of water when it seems fair.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah, you're you're sweating a lot up there. You know,
we're just chugging down waters the whole time. A pack
of sugar free Red Bull. Got to get the energy going,
you know, especially if I'm going to be there all day,
driving up the summerset that morning and going to be
hanging out all day.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You gotta have some energy going.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Absolutely, A bag my bag container of party mix, you know,
like the checks mix stuff, snacky food, that type of thing.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I did keep the two pack of Original Mini Beef
Jerkey or similar on there, because that is good stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
And I'm not even a spongor I'm not even an
endorser of them. But that's good stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
A veggie tray with rnch dip, you know, trying to
work in a little bit of nutrition here.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Some healthy stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Well, six towels, you know when you come off stage,
so you can wipe the sweat off your brow.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Some beer. You know, you gotta have a little bit
of beer. So we're asking for a twelve pack of beer.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Any silk velvet maybe.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Well, you know again, like silk velvet is very very
good bourbon, but it's also not a twenty dollars bottle
of bourbon, right, you know, it's it's high quality bourbon.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
So I didn't ask for that.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I figured if you're gonna ask for beer, you shouldn't
also ask for bourbon because then they're going to be like,
did you come here to play or get drunk?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Like which one is it?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
But you know, a beer or two maybe before you
go out there, always, you know, get you in the
right mindset. Some throat coat tea packs That's what I'm
talking for you, Yeah, man.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Like that is. I don't know if anybody.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Has ever had these throat coat tea packets, but if
you're a singer, I feel like they're a must and
then of course you've gotta have a microwave or something
to heat it up. So we've asked for a microwave
and then a pack of solo cups. That's the rider
right there. I don't feel like that's much. That's very simple,
especially compared to Dion Warwick, who was asking for like
a bottle of Chrystal and a flat screen TV and
(08:32):
all these different things when she played a couple of
years ago at the amp out of New Haven. So
I feel like, compared to hers, you know that we're
not asking for a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
So what would be on the Corey Price rider?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
What's your request if you got anything that you would
have to like must haves for your green room if
you're in a band.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Uh, definitely water. I'm a big water guy. Yeah, I
like your bassist. I love me some girl Scout thin Mins. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And it was off season. It wasn't even like during season.
This was like, this was in October. I'm going, man, like,
they're not gonna be able to find them Mint girls,
Scout Cook. Apparently you can buy these year round. I
had no idea that that's a game changer for me.
So now that I know I can go get some
MOA's or thin Mint's year round. That's not good for
the waist.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Stuff yeah, stuff. Yeah, and then I think I think
Matt mentioned this yesterday, the dots pretzels those, Yeah, so
that's probably my top three.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yep, that's good stuff there. So yeah, look forward to
that Tomorrow night and then Saturday night.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
As you said, we're gonna be playing also in Lexington
at the Seaton Summerfest where the headlining band. There's gonna
be bands going on all day long. On Saturday, we're
gonna be playing at eight o'clock, So come on out
for both of those shows. The Summerset show is a
ticket at show, you have to have tickets to get
into that. The one on Saturday in Lexington is a
free show. So look forward to seeing everybody out there
(09:54):
this weekend. Now, Yesterday, Corey, I hit on a topic
towards the end of the show show. It sort of
took off with a lot of responses, and I felt
like I made a mistake in doing that. I should
have probably mentioned it in the first segment because I
feel like we would have gotten feedback throughout the show.
So I'm sort of circling back to a topic that
I brought up towards the end of yesterday's pre show,
(10:15):
and that is for those of you who are in
the dating world, you've heard of Tender. Everybody knows Tender.
Even if you're not in the dating world, you've heard
of it. You go on there, you swipe left, you
swipe right, and you know, try to.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Make a match.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Well, now, if you are on Tender, you can pay
for a higher tier subscription and when you do that,
you have the ability to filter out short people. Basically,
you can filter it's a height filter that you've got
on there. You can filter out the height of the
person that you're trying to match with. And I asked
the question yesterday and I got it. I got a
(10:49):
lot of response, But I want to continue this today.
I want to throw this out there to the ladies.
If you're dating a guy, and I guess it depends
on how tall you are personally, comes to your preference
of how tall the person is that you're dating. What
is the minimum height that you would be willing to
date on Tender? Like, if you're let's say you're on Tender,
(11:11):
you're swiping left and right, but you get to put
the the height.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Minimum on there? What are you going with?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Is it like five foot seven, five foot eight, five
foot nine ten? Like where is like the line of
what's considered a quote unquote short person? Because I just
I just need to know, like, you know, how far
above average am I before I'm you know, missing the
cut off line. Not that I'm in that dating world anyway,
but just out of curiosity from the ladies out there
that let's say you're on Tender, what would be the
(11:39):
minimum height that that you're gonna put on there on
the filter?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You don't have to worry about it. You're you're a
tall guy.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
So I just think this whole thing's fascinating though, that
now Tender is allowing you to basically filter out short people.
And I'm wondering how many guys are now going to
get on there and just lie about their height.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
So that they make the cut you know.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Well, like I said, I'm six four, so I don't.
I don't, I real don't feel the need to lie,
but I was wondering. You know, Pat Kelsey, he's now
what I'm saying, he's he's now currently married with children
like like ol out Bundy. But if he was on
those apps, would he say he's like five eleven?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Well, how tall is he?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Like, I think he's five eight or five nine?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Five eight or five nine?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
See Mario was saying yesterday he had an interesting take.
He was like, you know, if you are actually five eight,
you can get away with saying you're five to ten.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I'm like, I don't know about that, man.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Like, you know, if you're wearing lifts, you know, in
your shoes, you know, if you're maybe two inches taller,
if you're got, if you got shoes on.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I guess you could say that, But I don't know.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Man.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I feel like you're kind of skirting the rules here though.
But I just foresee a lot of guys knowing that
this is the thing, they're now gonna lie about the
race because otherwise, how can tender even confirm how tall
you actually are? Like, I mean, I'm sure Corey Price
could find it out maybe, but how could Tender?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
So I think one another debate is who do we
think lie more on their personal whatever on apps? Do
you think men lie more? Do we think women lie more?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I don't know that it's one or the other. I
think probably both sides lie quite a bit, right. You know,
Luckily I haven't been in that world in a long time,
and you know, I was on Tender briefly and then
that was it. So I just want to know from
the ladies out there, what does the minimum height of
a guy that you would date? Eight five nine, twenty
two eighty seven at Shannon the Dude on Twitter?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
And what your Twitter is? What at corey ps e
zero eight?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, So as far as, like you know, a whole
lot of sports news is not a whole lot going on.
We do have the Pacers tonight in the finals. Okay,
see in the Pacers. Who do you got in that?
In that finals? Do you think Oklahoma City is going
to be able to hold off the Pacers? Do you
think the pay come in and shock everybody and end
up winning a title?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Who do you got?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
The entire season, the Thunder had been the best team
in the league, sixty eight wins. I think they set
the record for largest average scoring marchin for a season. Obviously,
they have Shae the best player in the league. He's
played the best in the playoffs. Pacers have They've shown
that they're tough. They've had a lot of comebacks, throughout
(14:29):
the playoffs. But I think Shae and even Cason or
justgree too much. I'm gonna go with Thunder in five games.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Ooh and five? Okay, all right, I think the Thunder win.
I think it goes a little bit farther. I'll say
Thunder and six. I think the Pacers put up at
least a little bit of a fight. My favorite thing though,
that has come from the NBA Playoffs involves Indiana and
their fans and a couple of guys that I'm really
not really a fan of.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Necessarily.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I'm talking about Pat McAfee and John mellenc Did you
see this whole thing that we talked about it briefly,
I think on Freddy at the Golf Scramble, but it
was during the Pacers and Knick series, and Pat McAfee
at some point gets on the PA mike and he
starts just taking shots at the New York Nick fans
that are celebrities that are there at the game in Indianapolis.
(15:18):
You know, he's taking a shot at Spike Lee and
Ben Stiller and a couple of others. I noticed that
he didn't bring up fifty cent, you know, fifty cent
was there but he didn't bring up fifty cent. He
was picking on all the skinny guys, right. You know,
I think you for McAfee, you know better than to
pick on a guy who got shot nine. You know,
had nine bullets on him and still survived. I don't
(15:38):
think you want to mess with that guy. But then
John Mellencamp spoke out against McAfee and was like, you know,
this guy doesn't represent Pacers fans.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
He needs to shut up.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
And I just find a lot of irony in John
Mellencamp telling Pat McAfee that he doesn't need to be
ripping on the fans when John Mellencamp himself is just
a grumpy old man who, now if you go to
any of his concerts, there's a good ninety five percent
chance he's going to stop one of his songs mid
song and start roasting his fans because he doesn't like
(16:10):
when anybody gets too loud at his concerts. So for
a guy that clearly doesn't have a problem calling out
his fans, I think it's interesting that John Mellencamp decided
to call out Pat McAfee and now McAfee is hitting
Mellencamp back.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
On his show. I don't know if you heard McAfee
basically telling John Mellencamp to shut the hell up.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
So I love this McAfee Mellencamp beef that's going on.
Like talk about two unlikely guys to have a beef,
Mellencamp and McAfee going at each other.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
And I don't.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I mean, I like Mellencamp's music, but he's an old curmudgeon.
I don't really like his personality, and I definitely don't
like McAfee.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I think he's a big goof.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
So I'm really having a hard time deciding on like
who I'm for in this battle between Mellencamp and McAfee.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yeah, like I said, I agree with you. I'm not
the biggest fan of Pat, but I don't I don't
see a big deal in roasting the opposing teams fans.
I mean, it's it's sports, it's not it's not life
for death. Yeah, So I guess I leaned slightly towards
Pat this time. But I will say, you know, with
the finals coming up, I really want to bet on
(17:23):
like Shay and the Thunder and all these player props. Shannon,
do you know if there is a way for me
to do that by any chance.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, it's on DraftKings and well yeah, we'll
get to that in just a minute, but we are
late for a break, so I got to get to that,
and I'll tell you about DraftKings coming up in just
a few minutes, and we'll take your calls. Eight five
nine two eight h twenty two eighty seven. It's Share
Them the Dude and Corey Price sitting in for Billy.
We'll be right back and take your calls on the
KSR pre Show.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
All right, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
It is the KSR pre Show, Sha Them the Dude,
Corey Price sing in for Billy Relige. So the early
results are in on the height minimum that you know,
if you're on tender that you would you would set
the like the minimum to looks like five foot eight
is the overall consensus so far on average anyway, I've
(18:09):
seen you know, mixed results five nine five to seven,
uh five ten five six one person plus. You know,
I think it's all relative to how tall you actually are.
You know, if if you're you know, five foot tall,
you may be willing to, you know, date a guy
who's five foot seven, But if you're five foot ten,
you can't be dating somebody it's five foot seven, you know.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It all depends on how tall you are.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
I think I was five foot eight in that sixth
great picture.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I think probably, Yeah, you probably were eight five nine
two twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:41):

believe the guy that called in yesterday?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Corey?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
We were talking about the the odd filled dimensions of
Morehead State. We were talking about, you know, right field
is really short and it kind of just slants from
right field straight across the center field. We had a
caller who said that endangered salamanders are behind that wall
and at Morehead State's campus in the baseball field, and
(20:11):
that's why they had to do that. So do you
think there's any actual truth to that? Do we have
endangered salamanders in Kentucky? First of all, I have no
IDEA great question.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
I'm sure there might be there somewhere. I think that
location specifically, it sounds like maybe like an urban legend.
I have a hard time believing that they would make
the field look that drastically really bad for that. I
think maybe like I think maybe Ryan said or someone
said that, I think it's like partial football field too,
(20:41):
so that might be why the dimensions are kind of wonky.
But a hard time believing it's for some dangerous salamanders.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I'm going with somebody just told them that and then
they just ran with it, and that was the joke.
Like when I was at Bellerman, we would always take
the freshman out for what we would call snipe hunting.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Do you know what that is?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Uh No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Actually, well, we would always tell everybody that the freshman
that'll come in, hey, we gotta take you out.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
It was Joe Creaes in Park.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
We're gonna take you go to Joe crees and Park
at night and you gotta go snipe hunting. And the
joke was, there is not such a thing as as
snipe got it, So we would take the freshman out
there and basically leave them in the park by themselves.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
It's kind of saying, go to the pool party on
the on the fourth floor of of your high school.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Some you know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Uh, let's go to the phones and talk to Jason.
We got about a minute before the break. Go ahead, Jason,
what's up?
Speaker 6 (21:32):
Hi U? Yesterday Darren K Sorry, Matt Jones was talking
about Bailey's Them Man is scotting with Querry. I was
wondering if you could give mad a message for me.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Well, you can call KSR. I mean that's next hour.
You can give the message to them yourself.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Yeah, I don't think I can. I got something i'd do.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Okay, all right, okay, all right, So I gotta I
gotta be the middle man. You want me to be
the guy who delivers messages to Matt, like I don't
have enough things going on?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
All right, go ahead, what is it?
Speaker 6 (22:02):
Okay? So tell man if he don't quit talking Matt
about this new country music because it's my favorite, I'm
gonna come up the likes and then and plant my
boat in his butt so it looks like one of
your pumps.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Okay, Well, I think you should be the.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
One to tell it.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
All right, the call, Jason, I appreciate it's the first call.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah, I feel like that's got to be the call
to day.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I don't think that's gonna be tough, but we'll take
some more of your phone calls coming up next. I
kind of agree with Matt though new country music does suck. Jason,
you have to take both of us on more of
the pre show next. All right, welcome back KSR pre show.
So this is Bailey Zimmerman, who that last caller brought up.
I'm giving it a chance here. Okay, you're not gonna
(22:47):
convince me that this new country is any better than
any We're close forget about being better any We're close
to nineties country, forget about it.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Nothing beats nice country, yeah nothing.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Come on, yeah, So I'm team Matt on this one. Now, Okay,
here a couple of other things, A couple of corrections here.
I said, I think last segment that sniper birds aren't real. Well,
Ken's Cats sends me a picture and says snipers actually
are real.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
So let's make that correction.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Facts are optionally even on.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
The pre show.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
And then our friend Richie Farmer writes in it says
that salamanders actually are endangered in the Morehead area, the
yellow spotted woodland salamander. So is it possible that the
that the yellow spotted woodland salamander is the reason that
the Morehead State baseball field looks the way that it does.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Man, I guess, I mean, Richie would never lie to us.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
No, rich Richie's just going to google. He's just you know,
he just he just.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
I mean, Richie might might know it off the top
of his head.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
You So, speaking of like crazy outfield dimensions, I kind
of went down this this rabbit hole of some of
the like the old school baseball fields.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Have you ever seen like the layout of the Polo Grounds?
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yes, that was insane.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
So just to give you an idea, I know, like
it's it's one of these things that is easier to visualize,
but just google the Polo Grounds baseball field dimensions. The
shape of the field was like a like a high
school track. It's four hundred and eighty three feet to
dead center field only two hundred and fifty eight feet
down the right field line. I mean, that's a huge discrepancy.
(24:29):
We're talking about, you know yesterday, the like why are
all baseball fields different dimensions? And the Polo Grounds is
like one of the extreme versions of that. Then there's
there was the Baker Bowl, which was in Philadelphia. It
was just two hundred and eighty feet in right field,
but had a sixty foot tall wall.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Oh my god, that's bigger than.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
The Green Monster. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
By comparison, like the Green Monster in Finnway is thirty
seven feet tall. Wo, so nearly you know how tall
the Green Monster is. Imagine a wall nearly twice that tall.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
That's what they had at the Baker Bowl in Philadelphia.
But it's crazy though. We bring this up.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
And then yesterday, I don't know if you saw the
ending to the Red Sox game, but there was a
walk off homer and it was the shortest walk off
home run in modern day history or at least on
the records that since they've been tracking, like you know,
how far a home run ball can be hit. It
was at like three hundred and eight feet and that
was that was the walk off, the shortest walk off
(25:28):
and on record in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Kind of crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
We were just talking about the crazy field dimensions, and
then that happened yesterday, A five twenty two eighty seven.
Let's go to the phones and talk to Glenn in Pennsylvania.
What's up, Glenn?
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Hey, guys, how's it going today?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Good Man?
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Hey? Got a question? I got a question for Corey,
And I'll preface it with I was serving an apprenticeship
several years ago when I first started working, and the
guy was working for told me, you don't need to
know all the answers, you just need to know where
to find the answers. So my question to Corey is
(26:05):
how much of his knowledge comes from just his knowledge
and how much of it comes from knowing where to
find that knowledge. I'll hang up and hope you guys
have a good weekend.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Yeah, good question, Glenn, Thanks for the call. So, Corey,
how much is up there in your head already and
how much do you actually have to research?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I mean, I would like to think I've got a
pretty good base knowledge of especially stuff all UK, but
I mean I'm obviously I don't know everything. So yeah,
there's a few sites I go to for my research.
I know John John Scott's website is like the best
website and all of the land. He's got anything and
(26:44):
everything in terms of UK men's basketball. So if i'll
know something, it's men's basketball, that's that's my go to.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
You have to have a good knowledge, like a base knowledge,
because you always crush it when we do KSR trivia
KS bar trivia. So I mean I want to be
on your I want to be on your team if
we ever do trivia.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Speaking of trivia, I I mentioned this to you. I
think the other day. I think Tin Roof and Lowell
was doing a You themed trivia and I thought you
you would be up for that.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Yeah, you on Netflix. I feel like I feel like
I could be good at that.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yeah, if you want to put a put a team
together and go out there for it is as long
as I have a free and eye, I'll do that.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
I was gonna say, if if it's one subject or
topic that you know, we don't, you could guarantee you
you would win at trivia. What what topic would be
for you?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
The price is right, price is right trivia?
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah that, Like I would say full house trivia.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I would do pretty well on The Walking Dead probably,
Uh like what else?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
What else?
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Planing pumpkins?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
No, no, by the way, the pumpkins.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You know, somebody reached out to Matt yesterday and was
worried about the vines growing crazy. We're not to that
point yet, Like, we're just now to the point to
where I have a few plants that have come up
and they've got you know, they're starting to bud leaves,
and that's kind of where we're at right now.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
So they're not they haven't really spread at all.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
So we're not quite to the point to where we
have to worry about my entire backyard being taken over
with vines. A lot of people have said, when you
plant these pumpkins, you got to have a huge space
because they're going to grow everywhere. But we're not to
that point yet, and when we get there, we'll be fine.
I'll keep you guys updated. So I just hope that
I get some pumpkins. I'm not really I've got a
low expectation level, so I'm expecting to get, you know,
(28:39):
maybe a couple, and if I end up with twenty
or thirty, then that's a win and I'll know that
I'm a good gardener.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Let's go to Stub. What's up, Stub, Hey, good morning, guys.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
I didn't know.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
I'm kind of hit on Murray State, and so I
don't know if you guys covered this or not. I
didn't get the chance to listen yesterday. But interesting things.
Up until two thousand, I believe fourteen, they were the
only sporteen at Murray State. They were called the Thoroughbreds
and that's what they always went by in baseball, and
(29:12):
they changed that back in nineteen or twenty fourteen. The
other thing is they're doing all this and they are
either at the bottom accwards the bottom, and funding as
far as facility salaries, all this stuff goes in the
Missouri Valley Conference. So what they're doing despite all that
is really really incredible. You guys have a great one.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yeah, thanks for the costop. I mean is if we
needed another reason to pull for Murray State, there's even
more reason right there that they're doing it with hardly
any funding at all. And luckily they're still in it
because now we have somebody to pull for in the
rest of the NCAA baseball tournament.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
So they take on Duke and that starts. Does that
start tomorrow? When is the.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Believe is tomorrow? And I will say Murray State has
a male hot mail high high school alone, which is
school I went to shout out to the Bulldogs, so
I'm definitely brooding for them. And of course, I mean,
we can't read for Duke.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
So oh yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter what it is,
especially when we got a Kentucky team playing against him. Absolutely, Corey,
have you seen these enhanced games that are that are
happening enhanced games? They're going to be bringing this to
Vegas in twenty twenty six. I want to know if
you would be interested in watching this. Here's the here's
what it says. I'm just going to read it to you.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Here.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
It says participants are permitted to use some substances that
are banned from elite sport. That goes on to say,
but cocaine and heroin are among those that are banned.
I don't know what athlete that would be on heroin.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
First of all, wasn't there a guy in the seventies
or eighties that threw a no hitter and he was
only LSD?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I believe you know that better than me.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I have no idea how true you're telling me a
Major League Baseball pitcher threw a no hitter while he
was on LSD.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
I'm nine percent sure.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Yeah, allegedly.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
I'll try and find there.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I don't think they were drug testing for anything. Back then.
It was the wild West.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
But these swimmers, though, are breaking world records because they're
coming in all jacked up and juiced up and it's
going to be coming to Vegas next year.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
You know, like it kind of has me intrigued a
little bit. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
I don't know if this is just swimming only, but
you know, I kind of felt like we were watching
a version of this back in the nineties when guys
were juicing up. Although back then, you know, the stuff
that the guys were taking, they were saying, well, we
didn't know it was illegal. You know, there were the
very loose rules on drug testing and baseball back in
the nineties. And I still think it's ridiculous the Bonds
and Sosa and McGuire aren't in the Major League Baseball
(31:45):
Hall of Fame. That's a completely different conversation, maybe for
a different day. But would you be willing to watch
sports knowing that the participants are using steroids?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Yeah, that doesn't I mean, knowing upfront that it's kind
of like encourage it doesn't bother me. I mean, I
mean it's for entertainment purposes, so that doesn't bother me.
And I did look it up. Doc Ellis in nineteen
eighty four mentioned that back in nineteen seventy he threw
a no hitter under the influence of LSD.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Now, I've never taken LSD before, but I mean, what
are the effects of LSD. Does it make you like
hallucinate or I mean obviously you're tripping.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Yeah, I wouldn't know. I would assume hallucinations. But I'm
not sure.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
You imagine you're out there though, I mean, what will
be the circumstance. You know that you're gonna be pitching,
you know that you're it's your day to come up
as the starter.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
I mean, you know, long rain delay, Like, I wonder.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
What the situation where he's like, you know what, Yeah,
it's my day to start. But I'm gonna go drop
some LSD before I go out here on the mound.
And if you throw a no hitter, I mean, I
don't know, would you'd be more likely to do it again?
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Yeah, I mean it was nineteen seventies so, and I'm
sure it was very, very rampant.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
I'm just saying, like, you know, I'm not encouraging any
of this.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
But since it exists, since it exists, I'm not gonna lie.
I am sort of intrigued and I will probably be
watching this to see how many more world records can
be broken. When people are on you know, steroids and
no juiced up, so it does have my attention.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Let's go to Kelly. What's up? Kelly?
Speaker 10 (33:26):
Hey, guys, two things really quickly.
Speaker 8 (33:30):
For me.
Speaker 10 (33:31):
I'm five four and I'm definitely not speaking for all
ladies in general by any means, but I'm not going
to date a guy that's shorter than five to ten because,
like my judgment is, if I can fit right under
your chin when I hug you, that's perfect for me.
I love it. Yeah whatever, Yeah, and point number two,
(33:54):
I will give Corey credit. He crushes it on the
UK Questions every week, but there are three other very
valuable members of his team. Uh at trivia every time
we go uh you know, shout out to we're only
here for Mario because we've won twice and we've got
place I think once, so we kind of crush it
(34:15):
as a team.
Speaker 7 (34:16):
Corey gets.
Speaker 10 (34:16):
Corey does get all of the UK Questions usually always,
but he has three other teammates that kind of help
him crush it.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
So yeah, Corey, I think you should get Yeah, yeah,
give your Jennifer.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Yeah, that's right. There's no there's no I team, no
Iron team.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
All right, Kelly, we appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
I'll have a good day you too.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Thanks for the call.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Yeah, you know you probably, I guess when it comes
to the UK questions of the guy that always knows
the answer on your team, but you know there may
be some other random questions.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Oh yeah, it's I mean, Matt has topics that are random,
and it's great to have a team with you, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Hey five eighty seven, I don't think we have time
to take another call, so free bird. Hang on. We
got a couple of other calls we'll get to as well,
and we'll take those coming up next on the final
segment of the KSR Pre Show. We'll be right back,
all right, Welcome back. It is the KSR pre Show.
A five nine two eighty seven tweets coming in at
Shannon the Dude on Twitter, Paint lou Blue says, speaking
(35:18):
of height when dating, have you ever seen this picture
of Shock and his girlfriend? Well, I mean, if you're
shocking your seven foot one or two or whatever he is, figure,
you're going to have a hard time finding anybody close
to your height. I just retweeted that picture for anybody
wants to see that picture of Shock and his girlfriend
or wife. Let's see south side. Shock writes in it,
says Richie is a former head agriculture commissioner, so he
(35:41):
should know about the status of endangered salamanders, and says
that's part of the job.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Is that is that part of the job, being the agriculture.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Commissioner.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Sounds like it's right.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
And then Kevin writes in and he is confirming. I
guess what what you found? Says Doc ellis throw a
no hitter while tripping on acid in the seventies.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
So there you go.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Seventies were just a different time.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Yeah, yeah, Hey, five and nine and two, eight h
twenty two eighty seven. We got some calls. I want
to try to get to as many as we can
before the end of the show. But you said, you know,
Billy sometimes does like national days, right, you know, every
every day is some sort of national holidays. So what
are today's national holidays?
Speaker 3 (36:25):
I think there's like five or six starting off with
National Ketchup Day.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Hey Ketchup. Yeah, I'm not celebrating, no.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
I mean, i'd use it for fries, but that's about it.
National start Over Day is there anything you would like
to start over, Shannon, Maybe playing your pumpkins.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Maybe you asked me in October when I don't have any. Maybe,
So what what else?
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (36:49):
National Veggie Burger Day? No, thank you, no, No.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
If you're gonna do a burger, you gotta do it.
You got to go all in, you got to get
the real deal.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
I think you might like this one. National Moonshine Day.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Ah, yeah, there you go. Yeah. I was endorser of
the Moonshine Trail.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
So and the last one National Gingerbread Day, So.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
You know there's there's a day for everything. Two days
ago it was National Hugger Cat Day. So I don't
know who makes these holidays up, but I guess if
you're a catchup fan, go celebrate. Let's go to free Bird.
What's that free bird?
Speaker 5 (37:20):
Hey guys, it sounds like it's National doc Illis Day.
Speaker 7 (37:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Who knew that doc Ellis would be such a hot topic.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
Oh my gosh. Actually I think too. In the seventy
one All Star Game, it was in Detroit, I think
he started and actually I think he was tripping on too,
because I think that's when Reggie Jackson hit what out
of the stadium. The only time I ever tripped on
the baseball bill was I put too big of a dip.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
You but well, I've done that before too.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
You know, in college, a lot of guys dip and
I was like, you know what, let me let me
try it. Let me try it one time, and I
was like, wow, it hit me like a ton of bricks.
I'm going, yep, I'm never doing that again. That was
the last time I ever did it. Free Bird, next
for the call, Yep, I appreciate thanks for the call.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Free Bird.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Yeah, the good old days of college baseball. When you're
out there, you know, it's batting practice, and you know,
as a pitcher, I wasn't taking many cuts up there,
so I just had to stand out in the outfield
and you know, do what they call shag, you know,
get get the balls and throw them back into the
back into the picture. So I'm sitting out there and
a guy goes, hey, man, you want to dip. I'm going,
(38:35):
all right, give me a little try that, And about
ten minutes later I was I was running sideways back
to the dughouse. However, it was the last time I
ever tried that. Let's go to Carolyn at Carolyn.
Speaker 8 (38:47):
Yes, I know you're going to be in Somerset tomorrow. Yes,
And if you have an opportunity, how we recommend going
to the Salty Hen out on Highway one two thousand
and three. It's very out of the way place on
your way. You might see some of the tornado damage
that it's in a former store out in the country.
(39:11):
Get any better onion rings?
Speaker 1 (39:16):
That sounds amazing, you know. I don't know, oh Fried.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
I don't know though, if I can eat a bunch
of fraud food right before I go up on stage
and perform for two hours.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
But you know what, that does sound amazing. Maybe I'll
do it.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
You know, right after KSR, I'm gonna have some time
to kill in Summerset, and I was trying to figure out,
like what am I going to do from noon until
five o'clock when we have our load in for the
band show, So I may do that. I appreciate that, Carolyn,
thanks for the advice. You're welcome, all right, appreciate you listening. So, yeah,
that's the other thing I was trying to figure out, Corey,
(39:51):
I'm going to be in Summerset tomorrow. KSR is over
at noon and then I got five hours to just
burn and I'm trying to figure out what I'm going
to do. So the salty hen has been added to
the list.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Let's go to Keith. What's up? Keith?
Speaker 7 (40:06):
Hey Shan the first time, long.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Time, hey man, thanks for listening.
Speaker 7 (40:11):
I've been I'm a big Pirate fan than since I
was a little. Unfortunately, but Doc Ellis was there's lots
of lots more history out there than you think, so
you might want to go down that rabbit hole after
you get off the show. There's some great information. He
actually didn't know he was pitching that day. That's that's
(40:33):
there's hold hold on, hold.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
On, hold on, hold on. Let me back up.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
I misunderstood you. You mean he didn't realize he was
supposed to be the starter that day.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
Right right?
Speaker 2 (40:43):
I thought you meant he was so thought he was
so out of his mind he was pitching and didn't
know that he was pitching.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
I thought that's what you read.
Speaker 7 (40:50):
He wasn't aware he was touched today and when you're
rapped at the park, your managers and formed it and
he had already taken. Yeah, but there's a great song
out there. Tonighter wrote a song called America's favorite pastime,
and it's about Doc Ellison that whole.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Day all right. Now, now you've given me homework, and
now i'm you know, I know what I'm gonna be
doing later on today when I'm when I have a
little bit of downtime looking at Doc Ellis's career.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
I think we made this national doc.
Speaker 7 (41:18):
It's a great it's a great informational song.
Speaker 5 (41:20):
Man.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
I'll check that out. Keith, I appreciate you, thanks for
the call.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Who would have thought, I guess you can't say to
your manager, sorry, coach, I'm on LSD today. I can't
go out there and start hey one more time.
