Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR Pre Show.
Today is Monday, June ninth. I am Billy Rutledge along
with Shannon the Dude. You can give us a call
on the Clark's Pumping Shot phone line be our whiskey
Thief Call of the Day at eight five nine two
to eight zho two two eight seven or Texas at
five oh two two sixty five six six five six.
As always, the KSR Pre Show is brought to you
(00:21):
by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington at the City
Center on Main Street. It's good to be back. I
was off for the past week. Shannon the Dude was
holding down the fort. Saw the fun show that you
guys had in summrset on Friday. Good morning, dude, it's
great to see you today.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I was about to say, who's this guy I'm looking
at right here? Man, it's been a while. You doing
all right? How was the vacation? And uh what did
you do? You said you didn't go anywhere, right, you
just was it a staycation for you?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Now?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
A little staycation, Shannon. I played a ton of golf.
I watched a bunch of Star Wars movies, so it
sounds like torture to you. I'm sure not much of
a vacation. Uh, but you know what, I got bored, Shannon,
And I can't remember the last time I was truly bored.
You know, our cell phones are such a distraction. Anytime
you have a second of downtime, I just pull out
the phone, Shannon, check TikTok. Right, you look at Twitter.
(01:10):
You see what's going on in the world. I kind
of unplugged for a few days and allowed myself to
be bored, and it was nice. It was really nice, Shannon.
I don't know how often you do it. I know
you've got that vacation home down in Panama City Beach,
but sometimes just to hang around the house and to
do nothing. It was all of the vacation I needed.
So I appreciate you holding everything down. How was last week?
(01:32):
Everything goes?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Everything was good? Yeah, everything was great. You know, Friday
and Saturday was really busy for me. So I kind
of share your sentiment when you you know you don't
have anything going on, You're like, what do I do?
Like it feels weird, like when I don't have anything
going on. Because Friday, you know, we had the summerset show.
The Nalyis Blue Gown played later that night, and then
Saturday I had another show with the band in Lexington,
(01:54):
and then yesterday I had nothing going on. I'm just like,
I don't know what to do with myself, Like I
got one day where I don't have to do anything,
Like what is this? So it's yeah, sometimes I will
get billd two heard right? Yeah, so you said you plugged.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
The Lincoln logs out or what?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
So you you said you unplugged. Now did you like
literally not have your phone on for an entire day
or two days?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Or how long did you go without the phone?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So I checked it at night? Uh so maybe like
thirty minutes at the end of each night, just to
check up on some news stories. You know. Gus had
to call me a couple of times to ask me
how the equipment worked. Probably one of my favorite parts
of the vacation was a picture I got from our
sales guy Brandon of Ryan and Drew doing KSR from
the offices of iHeartMedia, but in an office, not in
(02:41):
the studio, Shannon, So do our guys did they ever
get the studio working? Or is that just me and
you that know how to work these boards in the
whole company.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I believe on like the final day of them being
in studio, which I think was like Thursday. I think
they finally figured it out by Thursday, but like Monday,
Ryan came in didn't know how to work the board,
and so I said, you know what he told me
on Sunday the day before, I said, if you don't
how to work that board, it might be a good
idea to take the remote equipment to the studio with
(03:10):
you as a backup. That way, if you know, you
don't know how to figure out the studio equipment, you
can just take the radio equipment that we always do
the remotes on. You know how to work that. That's
your backup planes. Oh yeah, yeah, good idea, good idea.
So I'm just saying, if I had not suggested that,
we probably would not have had him on the air
with us on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday, and I
guess finally Thursday. But yeah, that was the struggle trying
(03:33):
to figure out is probably the way he joined you
on Monday for the pre show. Well he did, but
he was late, but that was okay. I understood that.
But then when he got there he didn't know how
to work the board. So I was like, well, all right,
you're going to use the equipment. So I'm just saying
a little pat on the back. But weren't for Shannon
the Dude, he would not have been connected any of
those days.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, great, great move by Shannon being the producer in
the in the situation. Good for my job security. I
guess that we can't get the boards or the studios
to work when I'm not there, Shannon, but teach a
couple more people that.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
But it's literally one But it's one button that he
didn't know. But there are a lot of buttons. You know,
you could push the wrong button, you know, if you
push one button.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I think the player's a lot of blow. There's a
sequence that's right. Oh yeah, you gotta get it right,
and Glad, Ryan and Drew and madd it finally did
get it right. But I am glad to be back
with Shannon the Dude here on the case. Our pre
show sounds like I have a little bit of a
delay this morning. I'm not in the studio. I'm actually
in Louisville, Shannon, where I'm at Hirstborn Country Club here
for the ISCO Championships Media day. Okay, Yeah, I leave
(04:39):
on a golf round and I come back for a
golf Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
I see.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
You just live, just live in the life. I want
to be Billy R Sports when I grow up. You know,
I've noticed when you came in, you didn't have a
whole lot of energy. I thought, man, for a guy
who just took off a whole week, you don't sound
like you're very enthused.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
But you're at a you're at a golf club.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
You can't be loud there, right You got to can
have to whisper use your indoor when you're at a
place like that.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Right now, I may not go Jim Nance, you know.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
The well, you're not far from it right now.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I mean you're like this today, you know, a couple
of decibels away from being MPR Radio.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Well, I feel like I've got a little bit of
an echo in here, so i hate to talk too loud.
But I got the phone call from Jeff Bikoro to
join the scramble team Shannon, so we're gonna have a
shot at winning this media day if the rain holds off. Also,
TJ Smith, TJ. Maconm Paige is gonna be with him.
But I know he's a member here. Yeah, I absolutely will.
(05:34):
Uh so looking forward to a good day of golf
here at the ESCO Championships at Hursborn Country Club that
is July tenth, is I believe when that championship starts,
if you are interested in moving the barber saw to
the isco to now from Lexington to Louisville. But Shannon,
I had to get some equipment from Ryan Lemon on
Sunday to be able to do the show here at
Hurstborn Country Club. So he gave me the the r
(05:56):
max connect that helps us get connected everywhere. And Ryan
and shared with me something that may have been one
of the greatest honors of my life. Shannon. I'm not
really sure how to compartmentalize this or how to feel
about it, but Ryan handed me a certificate that said
the Honorable Billy Rutledge was now a Kentucky colonel. Shannon,
(06:17):
and I happen to see you got the same certificate
over the weekend, Shan, have we achieved a feat here
in Kentucky that you know only a few people that
have become a Kentucky colonel? Shannon. It seems like that
was a pretty big deal that Ryan gave me.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I thought it was a very, very prestigious award until
I saw that Billy R Sports also got the same awards.
I was like, oh, okay, all right, well I guess
it only doesn't mean anything, like you know, if everybody
gets a Kentucky colonel certificate, then it doesn't mean anything.
But you know, I was trying to look up, like
how many Kentucky colonels are there? Apparently it's a lot
more common than what I thought, because you know, I
guess it is a prestigious award.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
And we do appreciate.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Alan Keck and everybody there in Somerset. And you know,
whoever put this thing together for and I guess she dominated.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Us is who helped us out, Okay, become a Kentucky colonel.
All right, thank you to Jake by the.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Way, Yeah, thank you to Jake for doing that for us.
We do appreciate it. But I you know how many
Kentucky colonels are there? I think there's tens of thousands
of Kentucky colonels. I think there always thinking thousands, Shannon,
now thousands.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
The Governor's got to sign a piece of paper for this.
So Andy Bsher looked at our certificates and said, yes,
I do think Shannon the Dude is honorable and should
be a Kentucky colonel.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
He wouldn't do the guy said to me, he would
not sign off on Shannon the Dude.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
He said that specifically to me.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (07:35):
So they put.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Shannon Griggsby, which is fine. I mean, that is my name.
I don't try to hide the fact that my name
is Shannon Griggsby. But Shannon the Dude was the name
I was given before I got on the radio for
the first time, and I've just you know, ran with
it and made a career out of it for the
last twenty one years. So it didn't say the Dude.
It said Grigsby. But I was happy to get it.
And I'm joking, of course when I say that, it
(07:56):
doesn't mean anything. If you get it to you know,
I'm happy for you to have it as well. And
I kind of always secretly want it to be a
Kentucky colonel, you know. So when I saw that, I
was like, oh, I was really surprised. Okay, So it
says there's no definitive official count of how many Kentucky
colonels exist, but estimates range from hundreds of thousands to
(08:17):
over five hundred thousand.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Oh estimate five hundred thousand Kentucky clers.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
So I was wrong to say tens of thousands. I
should have said hundreds of thousands.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
That's a little bit higher than I thought it was.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Okay, So we've.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Got a little liberal with the giving out of Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Colonel, hence hence us getting it right.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Well, I did my own research, Shannon, because I needed
to figure out what this meant for me and the
trajectory of my career. Shannon, and I'm reading here on Google. Yeah,
there are a few duties required of a person who
was commissioned as a Kentucky colonel. Even though it is
an honorary title, by the way, I think it's the
highest honor the governor can bestow upon a citizen in
the Kentucky But it is a real title that can
(08:56):
be used by placing colonel before your name and writing
and instead of mister miss or missus in identifying yourself
as a Kentucky colonel. So the correct identification of my
name from now on, Shannon, will be Colonel William Deson Rutledge,
the third Kentucky Colonel.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I'll just go buy a colonel dude.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You can call me colonel dude from here on out,
and that's all I'll answer to.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
If I don't colonel a little bit better than mine.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
If you don't call me colonel dude, I'm just gonna
ignore you and pretend you're talking to somebody else.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Because I'm a colonel.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I think you have a right to say that, Shanne,
you are an honorable colonel. In fact, you're a Kentucky colonel.
So Artist skillmore, Dan Issel, I mean, Shannon, I think
we can yuck it up at the next reunion that
the guys have for the ABA team back in there.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
So I was a little confused. I much like you.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Looked up like what are the responsibilities for a Kentucky colonel,
and it says there really are no responsibilities. It says
you need to uphold the responsibility on their certificate. But
then when you look into it, it says there are no responsibilities.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
So that the best responsibility.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah, I mean, my gosh, I would love to have
a life where I'm not responsible for anything. That would
be amazing. I'm responsible not only for me, but for
everybody else around me.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Apparently I did read that that you were looked on
as a goodwill ambassador for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Okay, yeah,
and so I think KSR does that better than anybody, right.
I mean we talked about this fan base all the
time in the Impact. I mean, it's a random Friday
in the summer in the in you you're you're packing out,
was it the Virginia.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
What an amazing venue they have in Summerset. And I
mean this like from the bottom of my heart, this
place is amazing. Over one hundred years old, Billy, I
wish you could have been there, but they did like
a big renovation, so like, you know, everything in there
is really nice. But they also kind of left like
the walls I guess, as they were in their original form,
so you can see that history. You can see the
(10:47):
history on the walls, literally written on the walls. Uh,
in the Virginia. But for a you know, a town
the size of Summerset to have something cool like that,
I think it's great. And what an amazing job they've
done renovating it. And uh, you know, a great sport,
a source of entertainment for the people in Somerset to
be able to bring in live music and they have
(11:08):
movie nights there and I think they did like a
music bingo similar to what we do at ks Bar.
I think we call it singo, but they do like
different events and everything, and what a cool place to
have there. So we hope that we'll be invited back
one day very soon because I would love to go
back to Somerset and play there again. And the acoustics
in there were amazing too. Like you know, we did
the show on Friday morning with Krgain with Alice Bluegown.
(11:32):
I mean, it was like one of the I think
I'll say one of I'm going to say right now.
It was the coolest venue we've ever played in really,
and we played it. We played Amphitheaters and we played
Blind opening well, I mean yeah, opening for Throwout Blind
was cool, but I'm talking about the venue itself was amazing.
And that's you know, nothing against the AMP. The Amp's
a cool place out there in New Haven too, but uh,
(11:53):
just that theater was was really cool and we got Billy.
You'll like this. We got a writer at this show.
I know you love that a writer. You were you
were obsessed with our rider at the third Eye Block.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Demands, so that you were perform at the Virginia or
did you have you updated it or you're just you're
now big enough to where the Rider actually applies.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well, we updated it by taking off a few bougie things.
You know, there are a few items on there that
I thought, okay, for third Eye Blind, we'll do the
thin mint cookies and the cupcake mescato. But you know,
just playing a show on our own, like you can
omit that you could take that out. We'll be fine
with the other things. And don't forget the beer, and
(12:32):
don't forget the meggy beef jerky take.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Away cliffs Godva.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yeah, so I'm like, you know what, we are not
going to make them run all over town trying to
find girl Scout cookies in the middle of June.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
So, now, was this your first show with your new guitarist.
Did he have any bougie demands? And how did that go?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
He didn't have any, and we didn't give him an
option to. I took the Rider together. Okay, I did
this one. I said, look, we're just gonna basically keep
what we had in our first rider. We'll take off
some of the bougie things and uh, we'll let that
We'll let that be the writer for us. But it
was all great, man. Everything was good, sound was great,
everybody really seemed to have a good time. And uh,
really again thanks to the Virginia and everybody there in
(13:12):
Summerset for the great hospitality.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
It was amazing.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Eight five nine two aight oh two two eight seven
is the phone number today. Five O two two sixty
five six six five six is the text line that
is back open and operating. If you'd like to join
the show in that regard, we'll talk about some of
the things that I missed over the past week.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I got to tip my cap to UK Baseball too.
I mean we haven't. I haven't talked to you since
there their heartbreaking loss to West Virginia. Shannon, I've been
watching a lot of baseball and uh, you know, much
more on the way. It's a Monday edition of the
KSR pre Show. It's Shannon the Dude and Billy Rutledge.
We will be right back. Welcome back. The dream team
is back together. It's the dynamic duo of Billy and
(13:50):
the Dude here on the KOSR Pre Show. Eight five
nine two eight oh two two eight seven. Shannon's in
the studio I'm here at the ESCO Championships getting ready
for the media day golf scramble. Uh, Shannon, I say,
I unplugged, but I did listen to one pre show
over the past week. That was when Nick Coffee joined
you last week maybe uh Tuesday, I think it was.
Oh yeah, I was on the road and make man.
(14:12):
Nick just went right on from four hours of radio
to an extra hour. Man he is. He is a
busy guy, and I'm sure he's still getting used to
that new schedule. He's got it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
The main thing that you take away from Nick was
the time that he has to get up in the morning.
And I, you know, complained about having to be in
here at seven o'clock and I get up at five
thirty every morning. Then I realized that day Nick goes
on the air at five o'clock. So I was, you know,
by the time I woke up, Nick was already thirty
many he was already into a second segment or third
segment of the show. He has to get up at
(14:41):
three thirty in the morning to be there at five.
I'm like, you'd have to pay me a lot of
money to have to get up at three thirty because
you're changing your life. You were literally changing your life
for your job at that point. That means you got
to you know, you can't set up till ten eleven
o'clock when you got to be up at three thirty
unless you want to just burn the candle with both ends,
and that only lasts so long. You can only do
(15:03):
that for so many years until it starts to have
effects on your health. Right, So that is a definite
lifestyle change. And getting up at three thirty every morning,
I would not like that at all.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
So yeah, you know, I I'm somebody that has to
get up probably an hour before I need to do
something like that, maybe three thirty four o'clock. But I
would be trying to cut it a little closer than that.
I mean, if you're five to nine, I'm getting up
at maybe four thirty. But I mean Nick was a
huge Pacers fan. He's like, how am I going to
watch the NBA Finals coming up? The games don't start
till eight o'clock.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
No, wait a minute, you're telling me if you had
to be at work at five, you would be up
at four thirty.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I mean, see, like it refits that with I'm somebody
that does need to wake up, So I mean I
would cut it closer than Nick, So I would be
getting up maybe four, four fifteen.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Okay, yeah, third, but how far you got to also
a factor in your drive time.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
You got to drive to work, Yeah, fifteen minute drive.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
The good thing is, I wouldn't say traffic would be
that bad driving in at four thirty in the morning.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
So that's the good thing about it.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
That's true. You're yeah, You're just you're going no traffic. Really,
I'll get some coffee in. But maybe I've become a
night shower person at that point, not a morning shower,
just to save a little time. But Nick is a
big Pacers fan, and hopefully he's you know, catching up
on OKC and the Pacers NBA Finals that started since
I've been gone, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
And game two was last night, Yeah, game two last night,
thunder one. But you know, did you see that first
game the Pacers with a shocker. I mean they didn't
did not lead the entire game until point three seconds
with that was it?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Halliburton? I think they knocked down that shot in the
first game.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Making a name for himself. Man, this is an all
time run for him in.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
This playoff Yep, the NBA Finals are here and this

Speaker 1 (17:32):
So after Game one, ABC got a lot of complaints
that it looked like a normal regular season game out there,
it didn't have really the atmosphere of the Finals. So
to correct that for Game two, the TV broadcast digitally
imposed the Finals trophy on the court.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
That I did.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
And I saw that, and I was like, I don't
remember that being there in the first game. And I
guess because it wasn't there in the first game. Yeah,
it did.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
To me.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
It almost looked more distracting. I kind of prefer it
not not being on there. Did you see in the
first game? Also, there was a local I think it
was an Indianapolis or it was at least in the
state of Indiana.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
If it was in Indianapolis, there was.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
A local TV broadcast of the game, and with like
thirty seconds left in the game, Billy, they cut to
the news and like, coming up next here on the news,
we're going to talk about this and we got a
weather front coming in and they cut off like the
last thirty seconds of the game. Oh and that was
not broadcast to the local market. Can you imagine, I mean,
(18:31):
especially in Indiana where people are really paying attention, you
would think right more so than any.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Other state to that stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah, And imagine your local news you want to talk
about a way to make everybody mad that's watching and
probably going to boycott your your news station because of that.
When you cut off a game the last thirty seconds
in a playoff game.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Oh imagine the phone calls that news department was getting.
I gotta tell Jef Picoro that story, because I'm sure
he'll have a Heaver dream thinking about. You know some
of the situations where TV stations have cut off a
little bit too early.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
You can't do that in the final, No, like, what
are you doing?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
You can do it maybe a regular season game.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
No no, no, no, no no, you don't even do
it in a regular season game. And you especially don't
make that mistake in the playoffs, especially when it's your
home your home state team. You know, you're an Indiana
local affiliate and you do that with your Pacers playing
in the finals.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
You know, I wonder if that was somebody's call or
if that was like you had to be a mistake
and you're not expecting it and it just plays. Yeah,
so behind baseball talk there eight five nine to two
too eight seven let's take our first call of the day,
Shan here we got.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
All right, so you know, we talk about how common
it is to be a colonel. Our first caller is
actually a colonel. Is that Colonel John P.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Short?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, good morning John.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Yeah, well you wonder about Americans.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
The Honorable John Short.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Just a few colonels yucking it up?
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Yeah, you three colonels.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Now, that's right.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
What you got, John, I thought you can tell you.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
I think you can tell you about that next year
and that we would be in the College Willow Streets.
Here's that big all a SEC Kentucky, Randon Mill, Georgia, Alabama, Auburns,
Saxon Island, Missippi State, and there was it Arkansas in Texas.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yeah. I think you just about named every team in
the SEC SEC.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, I gotta beat all.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Those, Joh, then maybe in the Willow States Worlds Softball
in baseball, and we need.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
Murray State to beat Duke today.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yes, I'm glad that you brought that up. That is
going to be a huge game. They thumped Duke last night.
What was the score like, nineteen to nine I think
or something close to that. Bad Oh, yeah, they got
to tell Yeah, John probably knows was it nineteen to nine?
Speaker 7 (20:41):
It was?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
It was yep or nine to nineteen as you'd like
to say, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Then that nine in nineteen, yeah, but it was and
it was. And we in Murray State. You thenk you
go to the College forts Seas. That'd be the first
time ever. I don't that'd be something for they make it.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I would love to see that happen. They're the team
I'm pulling for.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I'm rooting for him. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Yes, and the Hanerson coach played for another coaching job.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
That happened, That is true. Yeah, Billy.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
We had their coach on last week, and John always
good to hear from you.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Thank you for the phone call. Colonel.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
We had their coach on last week, and at first
there was like, well, he's on the bus and you know,
he doesn't really want to take the phone call on
the bus, and I'm going, you're Murray State Baseball. When ever, again,
will you have the opportunity to talk to the entire
state of Kentucky on one phone call then being on
KSR like like last week. So finally turns out he
(21:35):
wasn't on the bus, he was in his car and
he gave us a call and We did a segment
with him and.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
He was great.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
So so he did come on.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
He did, He did eventually, but it took some doing.
And after Ryan screwed up, it was late. Like we
were talking about in the first second, he was late.
But then he was able to come through and get
a phone number for the Murray State baseball coach because
the guy has, you know, connections to everybody.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Well that's Ryan. I mean, as soon as he screws
up one thing, he'll make up for it.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
But thank you, Colonel John Short. We're looking forward to
the Murray State game. I think it's a six pm
first pitch versus Duke. Louisville made the College World Series
as well, the sixth time that they've made it as
a program in Kentucky. Got some news over the weekend
that they're getting some guys back, Tyler Bell, Ryan Schwartz,
Ben Cleaver, the starting pitcher with the last name Harris.
So that's a great sign after Minjion really had to
(22:21):
reload after last year. So good to hear after their
heartbreaking loss. It's Shannon the Dude and Billy Reutledge. We'll
take a break and be right back here on the
ksrpre Show. All right, welcome back. It's the Ksrpre Show.
Billy Rutledge and Shannon the Dude here eight five nine
two eight h two two eight seven call us their
Texas at five h two two six five six six
(22:41):
five six. Yes, I slept in over the past week, Shannon.
My body didn't just wake me up really time. It
did normal. Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Let me tell you about my my Friday night. So
after the show in Somerset, left got home at it
was one o'clock one am, and finally got settled into bed,
fell asleep at two am. And because of this job,
six am, you're right back up. Yeah, four hours of sleep,
that was it. And I tried to lay there and
(23:09):
I couldn't go back to sleep, like I'm just here,
I am. I cannot go back to sleep. It's that
automatic like internal clock because of this job. That now
on Saturdays and Sundays, it doesn't matter if I go
to bed at nine o'clock the night before or one
am or two am, I'm right back up at six
am regardless.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Now, you're a very busy guy, as you've told us
many times, the very wise Ryan LeMond is a nap guy.
Have you ever tried to fit a nap inch love
a nap love it.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
As a matter of fact, you know, in our green
room on Friday at summrset, Ryan stayed for the Alice
Bluegown show.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Oh nice.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
So he didn't go home after KSR. He stayed and
he kept mentioning over and over that he wanted to
come spoon with me on the big couch downstairs in
the green room. And I tried to point out, you know,
this is just for the band group. He's not allowed.
You can't get on that couch. That's my couch. I'm
taking a nap there. So yeah, I got a good
solid fifteen minutes on that couch before.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
That's all you need. That's all you need. I mean,
fifteen to thirty minutes is about the nap time that
you need. Anything more. You're gonna be a little groggy,
You're gonna get into that deep sleep cycle. So you
sound like a savvy veteran already. That's true, Shannon. Before
we get back to the phones, a couple congratulations. The
first goes to John Clay announced this morning that he's
going to retire from the Lexington Herald Leader. He was
a calumnist or he worked there for forty four years
(24:24):
currently a columnist now channed forty four years. A hell
of a career from John Clay, where I don't think
you can meet many people that would say a bad
thing about him. A very nice guy that's given me
the time of day to join me on some radio shows.
To a congratulations to John Clay after forty four years
in the business.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
That is quite a career.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
You know.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I just know John from calling him over the years
to talk to Tom Leach on the Leach Report. That's
kind of my I don't actually with John Clay. Is
that how you know him as well? For the most part.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
For the most part, yeah, I've met him in person
a couple of times. But yeah, I mean for years.
You know, I work for Dick Gabriel for a while.
You call him enough times you feel like you know
the guy.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
By the way, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
So yeah, can congratulations to John absolutely for a great
career and uh well respected Columbists. But you know, there
are a lot of guys you bring this up there,
there's a lot of guys that I have talked to
for years and years and years, and I don't think
I have ever met them face to face. I don't think.
I don't think I've ever met Dick Gabriel in person.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Oh, come on, you've never met Dick in person?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
No, Remember, I'm in Louisville. These guys are out of Lexington.
I don't think I've ever met John Clay. I don't
think I have. Chris Fisher is a guy who I
have talked to for literally fourteen years, every single Wednesday
or whatever day his day is on the Leach Report.
And I've never met the guy in person. It's crazy.
(25:40):
It's the craziest.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
So let's go through the Leach Report lineup.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Then.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Have you met justin Roland yet?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I don't think I have no no of Mike de Corsi, No, man,
I mean you talk to these people for a decade,
I know, like every week, and you know you've.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Never met I don't think I've never met Oscar Combs.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Well you got to meet Oscar. Yeah, Oscar is a delight,
takes the time to talk to you. See, you feel
seen when you're with Oscar. But you know, going the
probably probably many people feel like that about us, right,
I mean, I'm sure there's some people that have listened
to KSR for a decade.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Well, I mean we're out on Remote though every Friday,
like you know, you have an opportunity to come see
us because we're out in Lexington or Louisville or somewhere
across the state every single Friday, right, So I feel
like we're you know, we're out and about. But for
me being in Louisville and all these Lexington media personalities,
I don't ever have a chance to meet them unless
it's at a game maybe, you.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Know, yeah, like a Brandon Ramsey's on the Leach Reportal,
I don't.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Think I have none of these guys.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Now, one of these people listening is gonna say I've
met you five times, and it's gonna be like, oops,
I just guess I didn't remember that. But I don't
think I've met most of the people.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Who met to Goose Ray Goose joins time all the time.
He's come to a case are Remote once or twice.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, I think I've met Jack, but I think you
know he and I remember he confused me when we
were in Milwaukee for for Drew.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Really, well, uh it was it was around the same
time he was on a cruise ship and nobody had
told me that he was on vacation. So when I
called him for the Leach Report, He's like, yeah, man,
I'm on a cruise ship, but I'll still do the interview.
That's just the kind of guy jacket.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Anybody else you can think of that you have not known? No,
like Leach Report guests that's on every week, because I'm
trying to think of who else. Maybe I think that
that covers it pretty much.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah, you've hit the You've hit the big hitters for
the most part.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yeah, a lot of of all the guests on that show,
I've not met more than I've actually actually met, if
that makes any sense. Like, you know, I obviously knew
Mike Pratt met him, but like the other guys, I've
never even met him before.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Crazy, strange, strange work life that you live. I want
to give one more congratulations, then we'll hit the phones.
Do you know that the longest and most successful telephonon
in America is run out of Louisville, Kentucky. Cruiser Child
This past weekend, that's right, the Whas Crusader Children. It
was the seventy second annual this past weekend. They raised
five point eight nine million dollars for special needs childrens
(28:02):
throughout Kentucky. So congratulations to them, Shannon. One of my
first jobs in radio was the overnight w h A
s crusade for children shift new or midnight to.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Noon, midnight to noon. Yep, you weren't even on the air, right,
you were.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Just pushing button even on the air.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I've worked that, shopping, but I've worked every shift there
is to work in radio throughout the years. As a
matter of fact, that was my first on air shift
was for the Fox, the active rock station, and they
put me on Sunday nights midnight to five am.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Midnight to five. I mean, you gotta you gotta find
your time. That's the best way to do it too.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Yeah, you're just talking to you're talking to Ford and Ups.
That's basically you're broadcasting too.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Those were so oh yeah, congratulations everybody involved there. Terry
Miners is a big part of that. They got to
a certain goal where one guy on the television broadcast
had to eat a cicada.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
He ate a cicada?
Speaker 7 (28:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Was it live or do we live?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
They had to reach a certain dollar amount of the
guys that I'd eat a cicada live on air, and
when they hit that.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah. No, no, no, I know the race. I know the
TV was. Was the cicada alive?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Oh yeah, I don't know the specifics on them. I
heard the story and just heard that he had ate
a cicada. But in the same vein. Lex eighteen went
viral over the weekend for asking who's more annoying, cicadas
or Tennessee fans saw that? Yeah, and that got picked
up nationally. Uh, and I believe Tennessee fans won that pulse.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Of course, of course they did. They knew what they
were doing.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Cicadas, though, are screaming. I don't know how much time
you're spending outside.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
It almost got like Saturday night. Almost got hit right
in the forehead with one of those clumsy flyers. You're
a little kamikazi.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
The bugs that will just hit you right in the head.
They're loud too, Like you said, they're They're annoying, but
as we found out, not quite as annoying as Tennessee fans.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
So can I get you to eat a cicada? No?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
No.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I have other ways of getting protein. I'll just take
a protein I already had a protein bar this morning.
I'm not eating a cicada.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
All right, let's go back to the phones. Who do
we got up next to you?
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Grandma Sarah, good morning, Hey, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
To be the one to bust your else bubble about
this Kentucky colonel thing. But everybody has one. I have one,
My husband even had two.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I tried to tell you, Colonel. I tried to tell
Billy it wasn't that big of a deal.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
No, I mean, you know, I mean it's great. I
guess there's got them, but I think they pass them
out like I don't know what. Yeah, I just want
to let you all know that there is a whole
lot of things of Kentucky colonel's. I mean, I don't
know the number, but I'm sure, Shannon, you know there
is a lot.
Speaker 7 (30:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Okay, Google tells us over five hundred thousand people, So
if everybody's got I'm not surprised.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
Okay, have a good day, Thank.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
You, Colonel. Grandma s Earah.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Say there's two callers and both of them are colonels.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Well there's a wrestling clip where guy's crying in the stands.
It's still real to me, damn it, Entucky Colonel.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Her One person writes in on Twitter, Chuck says, hey, dude,
back in the day, the governor used to give out
Kentucky colonel certificates if you donated at least two hundred
and fifty dollars to his campaign, and it was more
than just one governor just saying, so not stop not
throwing any names out there specifically, but do you believe that,
(31:12):
Billy that governor's back in the day in Kentucky would say, Hey,
you know, if you just donate two hundred and fifty
bucks to my campaign, I can make you a Kentucky colonel.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
No, I believe it, But that is an abusive power show.
You shouldnt just be going around knighting people to become
Kentucky colonels.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
That was the thing too, Like so you know, my
dad sees like, oh, that's awesome, that's amazing.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Not many people get.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Those, And I'm like, eh, I don't think that's true.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
But like, what do I do with this thing? Do
I frame it?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Oh? I'm definitely framing it. It's going in the living room.
But if everybody's got one above the mantle, yeah, but
I mean walk in and see it, my honor.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
If everyone's got if I don't know man, I got
a I got I mean, I'm not gonna throw it away.
Don't get me wrong. I'm definitely gonna keep it. But
now that I'm learning that everybody's got one, I just
don't know if I still frame it and put it
up there proudly.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Don't let Dan Issel hear you say that, Shannon. I mean,
this is an honor. Okay, this is the ABA professional
team in the state. We are Kentucky Colonels. Shannon to say,
you know, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Put it up in my man cave to impress all
my friends when they walk over. But if that's right,
But if they're all colonels too, then they're like, oh, no,
big deal, this.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Guy colonel party.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I guess it's like, you know, I guess a Green
Bay Packers fan who quote unquote owns the team and
actually thinks they're an owner.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Well technically they are. Yeah, yeah, do you do you
go to the NFL owners meeting? No you don't.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
I mean, I'm an owner of a horse too, but
I don't get to go to the meetings.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Yeah, yeah, everybody owns. The word owner is getting a
little bit too liberal now as well.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Never did get my owner's hat. By the way, I'm
a little mad about that.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah, you never got your home because Matt gave them
to random people coming into ks Bar.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
I never got one.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Yeah, all right, let's take another call, Shannon.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
Before you allowed that to happen, that's on you.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
I did no such, I was not involved. I'm a journalist.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
No, I'm blaming you.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
It's just an owner of any horse. You got to
interview the job.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Now he gave away my hat. It's your fault. You're
the GM, it's your fault. All right, Kathy, what's up?
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Kathy?
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Hello, Yes, I'm here. Are you all there? We got Yeah,
we got you, Okay, we mixed because I speaker. I
was working around the house. I actually have three colonels,
not to outdo anybody else.
Speaker 6 (33:28):
What do you mean.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
It all?
Speaker 3 (33:32):
They all have to be from a different governor.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Oh so you got So you're a Kentucky colonel three
times over from three different governors. I think that's way
more impressive than yeah, you're like a triple colonel.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Well but I'm really old.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
So well, that don't matter who we're going to hold
that against you. I mean that's the.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
First one was from John y Brown, that's my favorite one.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Did you donate to his campaign?
Speaker 3 (33:55):
No, I did not. I was the captain of the
first Kentucky cheerleading squad ever to go to Nationals. But
we didn't win.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Well, it's okay. You still got a colonel certificate.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
That's almost as good as a national title, is the
Kentucky colonel certificate?
Speaker 3 (34:13):
There, Well, we all the whole squad got one, So
that's okay though.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Yeah, well the whole k s R. Squad got the
Kentucky colonel certificate too.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I think you did.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
Mario got one.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Jeez, well, I mean it just hold on to him.
You may have three by the time you're my age.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
There you go, all right, Kathy, thank you for coming in.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
We appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Triple colonel, I have great day too.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Now I think I may found a new goal in life.
Share and may they can become a triple colonel and
achieve the rank that Kathy has. I mean, what a
goal to strive for.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Yeah, at that point, you're like, I don't know what's
above a colonel admiral.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
People are going to roll their eyes. I'm not sure
it's not in the military service. Yeah, we were talking
horses there, just a second ago. Did you happen to
watch the Belmont over the week?
Speaker 4 (35:04):
I did not.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I had a lot of things going on. The last
thing I was going to do is watch a bunch
of horses.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
That's right. You watch horse racing one day of the year.
That's the Kentucky Derby. Belmont was won by Sovereignty in
a late finish, beating Journalism. It looked like Journalism was
going to kind of run away with it in the
final turn, and then Sovereignty came back. So maybe the
right move made by trainer Bill Mott to hold them
out of the second race before the Belmont, unfortunately did
not win the triple crowds.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
See what you see. That's the thing though, Now you
got two out of three. You didn't run on the
other one. Now you'll never You'll never know.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
It's just a mystery at this point. You know, maybe
this rivalry will continue to progress when these horses become
three year olds and they race next year. But you know,
it seems like a missed opportunity for the sport. But
for the trainer, I think they feel a little vindicated
after the win.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
There's no doubt.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Okay, So the rank above A colonel is a general general.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
I don't know how to say this word.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Brigader. I know I'm pronounced. How would you say this
b R I G A D I E R brigadier brigadade,
brigadier brigadier general general.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I apologize to all the military network. Yeah morning.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Well look, I mean we're not we're colonels. We're not generals.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
That's right, We're not. We don't, we don't. We're gonna
need to know basis. I mean going to become a
triple colonel before I've ever become whatever that is.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
So I feel like if you've got three Kentucky Colonels,
then you're basically two ranks above a colonel.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I mean all the five KSR guys. I mean, we've
got our own basketball squad, Shannon, the colonels.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
We'll just bring back the NBA team the Kentucky Colonels
with us.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Come on, get the jerseys ready, get.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Some shirts, and we'll probably win less games than the
Colorado Rockies having baseball.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Stop, what are they at? Like?
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Have they gotten the ten yet?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Oh? My gosh, they're bad. They had some nice jerseys
and saw a former UK player had a triple there
the other day. So let's take one more call and
then we'll take a break. Shannon, we got time for that.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Yeah, we got a couple of callers. Just get Ronnie
on real quick before the break ahead, Ronnie, Ronnie.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
What's up?
Speaker 6 (37:10):
What's up? Guys. I don't know if you know this
is I don't know if you know this as well.
On the Kentucky colonel thing, if I missed it, but
you all now had the right to bestow someone else
with being a Kentucky colonel. You can make that happen.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Oh okay, Billy, who You're gonna make a Kentucky colonel
your dog?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
I mean, I'm gonna be much less liberal than Andy
Basheer giving it out to the KSR guys. I mean
it's gonna it's a high honor, Shannon. So I mean,
I'm not my dog just getting it. But yeah, I mean, I'm.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
Just saying, if everybody's got it.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
You could you can make your neighbors colonels.
Speaker 5 (37:46):
Today.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
I'm not making it.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Well, it depends on how the pumpkins go.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
You know.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Oh I heard about the vines.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Yeah, because he's because we okay, we had a conversation
about this yesterday, and Ronnie, did you want to say
anything else before we let you go?
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Before I get into those conversation.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Good.
Speaker 6 (38:00):
I just wanted to tell you all that that you
can put it on anyone else.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Okay, good, good info.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Thank you, running you appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
So we're out there, you know, yesterday, uh, staring at
the garden, and those pumpkin leaves are getting big. But
he's like, you know, if your pumpkins don't do well,
we could put some squash over here here here. I'm
going no, no, wait a minute. Now, you're gonna be
crowding my pumpkins. These pumpkins are gonna be going everywhere.
And he's already trying to talk about putting squash in
between my pumpkins, and I'm going, nah, I don't think.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
So little time.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
Ah no, Hey, I'm got to mark my territory.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Don't make me already infringed on your yard, right, this
is kind of yeah, don't make me.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Don't make me call up a surveyor and come out
there and put a rope between us, because I know
where my property line is.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
I've lived there for dumpkin vines. Don't destroy his yard
and his I won't.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
But you know you can't be uh intruding with your squash.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Yeah, there's a property line, sir, do you need meed
to spray paint it out for you? Maybe a fence built.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
So yeah, he's not gonna get a Kentucky Colonel award
for me.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Where the guy but the other guy that was winning
all that money walking out? The same guy okay to
the other.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Guy and the same guy that hung the towel on
his side view mirror.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
He's just great for the show. Good content, that's right.
Maybe he should be a Kentucky colonel. Wow. Well, I'm
gonna think about who I will bestow with this honor today.
It will be my main question. We need to take
a break that we'll be our back here on the
KSR pre show Welcome Back, It's Billy and the Dude.
One person on the text line says the population of
Kentucky is only four point five million, so if five
(39:28):
hundred thousand people have a colonel certificate, then one in
nine people have a certificate.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
There you go, Yeah, let's see. Richie Farmer says he's
a colonel.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Ah, yep, welcome to the club, Richie.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
No, he should be welcoming us to the club. That's
one of the newest members. He's been a colonel for
a long time.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Oh, it's we you know. It's no longer you know
us and them, It's it's Wei sh and So it's.

but we've ran out of time today and we've got

Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR Pre Show.
Today is Monday, June ninth. I am Billy Rutledge along
with Shannon the Dude. You can give us a call
on the Clark's Pumping Shot phone line be our whiskey
Thief Call of the Day at eight five nine two
to eight zho two two eight seven or Texas at
five oh two two sixty five six six five six.
As always, the KSR Pre Show is brought to you
(00:21):
by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington at the City
Center on Main Street. It's good to be back. I
was off for the past week. Shannon the Dude was
holding down the fort. Saw the fun show that you
guys had in summrset on Friday. Good morning, dude, it's
great to see you today.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I was about to say, who's this guy I'm looking
at right here? Man, it's been a while. You doing
all right? How was the vacation? And uh what did
you do? You said you didn't go anywhere, right, you
just was it a staycation for you?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Now?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
A little staycation, Shannon. I played a ton of golf.
I watched a bunch of Star Wars movies, so it
sounds like torture to you. I'm sure not much of
a vacation. Uh, but you know what, I got bored, Shannon,
And I can't remember the last time I was truly bored.
You know, our cell phones are such a distraction. Anytime
you have a second of downtime, I just pull out
the phone, Shannon, check TikTok. Right, you look at Twitter.
(01:10):
You see what's going on in the world. I kind
of unplugged for a few days and allowed myself to
be bored, and it was nice. It was really nice, Shannon.
I don't know how often you do it. I know
you've got that vacation home down in Panama City Beach,
but sometimes just to hang around the house and to
do nothing. It was all of the vacation I needed.
So I appreciate you holding everything down. How was last week?
(01:32):
Everything goes?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Everything was good? Yeah, everything was great. You know, Friday
and Saturday was really busy for me. So I kind
of share your sentiment when you you know you don't
have anything going on, You're like, what do I do?
Like it feels weird, like when I don't have anything
going on. Because Friday, you know, we had the summerset show.
The Nalyis Blue Gown played later that night, and then
Saturday I had another show with the band in Lexington,
(01:54):
and then yesterday I had nothing going on. I'm just like,
I don't know what to do with myself, Like I
got one day where I don't have to do anything,
Like what is this? So it's yeah, sometimes I will
get billd two heard right? Yeah, so you said you plugged.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
The Lincoln logs out or what?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
So you you said you unplugged. Now did you like
literally not have your phone on for an entire day
or two days?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Or how long did you go without the phone?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So I checked it at night? Uh so maybe like
thirty minutes at the end of each night, just to
check up on some news stories. You know. Gus had
to call me a couple of times to ask me
how the equipment worked. Probably one of my favorite parts
of the vacation was a picture I got from our
sales guy Brandon of Ryan and Drew doing KSR from
the offices of iHeartMedia, but in an office, not in
(02:41):
the studio, Shannon, So do our guys did they ever
get the studio working? Or is that just me and
you that know how to work these boards in the
whole company.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I believe on like the final day of them being
in studio, which I think was like Thursday. I think
they finally figured it out by Thursday, but like Monday,
Ryan came in didn't know how to work the board,
and so I said, you know what he told me
on Sunday the day before, I said, if you don't
how to work that board, it might be a good
idea to take the remote equipment to the studio with
(03:10):
you as a backup. That way, if you know, you
don't know how to figure out the studio equipment, you
can just take the radio equipment that we always do
the remotes on. You know how to work that. That's
your backup planes. Oh yeah, yeah, good idea, good idea.
So I'm just saying, if I had not suggested that,
we probably would not have had him on the air
with us on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday, and I
guess finally Thursday. But yeah, that was the struggle trying
(03:33):
to figure out is probably the way he joined you
on Monday for the pre show. Well he did, but
he was late, but that was okay. I understood that.
But then when he got there he didn't know how
to work the board. So I was like, well, all right,
you're going to use the equipment. So I'm just saying
a little pat on the back. But weren't for Shannon
the Dude, he would not have been connected any of
those days.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, great, great move by Shannon being the producer in
the in the situation. Good for my job security. I
guess that we can't get the boards or the studios
to work when I'm not there, Shannon, but teach a
couple more people that.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
But it's literally one But it's one button that he
didn't know. But there are a lot of buttons. You know,
you could push the wrong button, you know, if you
push one button.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I think the player's a lot of blow. There's a
sequence that's right. Oh yeah, you gotta get it right,
and Glad, Ryan and Drew and madd it finally did
get it right. But I am glad to be back
with Shannon the Dude here on the case. Our pre
show sounds like I have a little bit of a
delay this morning. I'm not in the studio. I'm actually
in Louisville, Shannon, where I'm at Hirstborn Country Club here
for the ISCO Championships Media day. Okay, Yeah, I leave
(04:39):
on a golf round and I come back for a
golf Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
I see.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
You just live, just live in the life. I want
to be Billy R Sports when I grow up. You know,
I've noticed when you came in, you didn't have a
whole lot of energy. I thought, man, for a guy
who just took off a whole week, you don't sound
like you're very enthused.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
But you're at a you're at a golf club.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
You can't be loud there, right You got to can
have to whisper use your indoor when you're at a
place like that.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Right now, I may not go Jim Nance, you know.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
The well, you're not far from it right now.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I mean you're like this today, you know, a couple
of decibels away from being MPR Radio.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Well, I feel like I've got a little bit of
an echo in here, so i hate to talk too loud.
But I got the phone call from Jeff Bikoro to
join the scramble team Shannon, so we're gonna have a
shot at winning this media day if the rain holds off. Also,
TJ Smith, TJ. Maconm Paige is gonna be with him.
But I know he's a member here. Yeah, I absolutely will.
(05:34):
Uh so looking forward to a good day of golf
here at the ESCO Championships at Hursborn Country Club that
is July tenth, is I believe when that championship starts,
if you are interested in moving the barber saw to
the isco to now from Lexington to Louisville. But Shannon,
I had to get some equipment from Ryan Lemon on
Sunday to be able to do the show here at
Hurstborn Country Club. So he gave me the the r
(05:56):
max connect that helps us get connected everywhere. And Ryan
and shared with me something that may have been one
of the greatest honors of my life. Shannon. I'm not
really sure how to compartmentalize this or how to feel
about it, but Ryan handed me a certificate that said
the Honorable Billy Rutledge was now a Kentucky colonel. Shannon,
(06:17):
and I happen to see you got the same certificate
over the weekend, Shan, have we achieved a feat here
in Kentucky that you know only a few people that
have become a Kentucky colonel? Shannon. It seems like that
was a pretty big deal that Ryan gave me.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I thought it was a very, very prestigious award until
I saw that Billy R Sports also got the same awards.
I was like, oh, okay, all right, well I guess
it only doesn't mean anything, like you know, if everybody
gets a Kentucky colonel certificate, then it doesn't mean anything.
But you know, I was trying to look up, like
how many Kentucky colonels are there? Apparently it's a lot
more common than what I thought, because you know, I
guess it is a prestigious award.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
And we do appreciate.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Alan Keck and everybody there in Somerset. And you know,
whoever put this thing together for and I guess she dominated.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Us is who helped us out, Okay, become a Kentucky colonel.
All right, thank you to Jake by the.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Way, Yeah, thank you to Jake for doing that for us.
We do appreciate it. But I you know how many
Kentucky colonels are there? I think there's tens of thousands
of Kentucky colonels. I think there always thinking thousands, Shannon,
now thousands.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
The Governor's got to sign a piece of paper for this.
So Andy Bsher looked at our certificates and said, yes,
I do think Shannon the Dude is honorable and should
be a Kentucky colonel.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
He wouldn't do the guy said to me, he would
not sign off on Shannon the Dude.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
He said that specifically to me.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (07:35):
So they put.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Shannon Griggsby, which is fine. I mean, that is my name.
I don't try to hide the fact that my name
is Shannon Griggsby. But Shannon the Dude was the name
I was given before I got on the radio for
the first time, and I've just you know, ran with
it and made a career out of it for the
last twenty one years. So it didn't say the Dude.
It said Grigsby. But I was happy to get it.
And I'm joking, of course when I say that, it
(07:56):
doesn't mean anything. If you get it to you know,
I'm happy for you to have it as well. And
I kind of always secretly want it to be a
Kentucky colonel, you know. So when I saw that, I
was like, oh, I was really surprised. Okay, So it
says there's no definitive official count of how many Kentucky
colonels exist, but estimates range from hundreds of thousands to
(08:17):
over five hundred thousand.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Oh estimate five hundred thousand Kentucky clers.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
So I was wrong to say tens of thousands. I
should have said hundreds of thousands.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
That's a little bit higher than I thought it was.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Okay, So we've.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Got a little liberal with the giving out of Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Colonel, hence hence us getting it right.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Well, I did my own research, Shannon, because I needed
to figure out what this meant for me and the
trajectory of my career. Shannon, and I'm reading here on Google. Yeah,
there are a few duties required of a person who
was commissioned as a Kentucky colonel. Even though it is
an honorary title, by the way, I think it's the
highest honor the governor can bestow upon a citizen in
the Kentucky But it is a real title that can
(08:56):
be used by placing colonel before your name and writing
and instead of mister miss or missus in identifying yourself
as a Kentucky colonel. So the correct identification of my
name from now on, Shannon, will be Colonel William Deson Rutledge,
the third Kentucky Colonel.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I'll just go buy a colonel dude.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You can call me colonel dude from here on out,
and that's all I'll answer to.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
If I don't colonel a little bit better than mine.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
If you don't call me colonel dude, I'm just gonna
ignore you and pretend you're talking to somebody else.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Because I'm a colonel.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I think you have a right to say that, Shanne,
you are an honorable colonel. In fact, you're a Kentucky colonel.
So Artist skillmore, Dan Issel, I mean, Shannon, I think
we can yuck it up at the next reunion that
the guys have for the ABA team back in there.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
So I was a little confused. I much like you.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Looked up like what are the responsibilities for a Kentucky colonel,
and it says there really are no responsibilities. It says
you need to uphold the responsibility on their certificate. But
then when you look into it, it says there are no responsibilities.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
So that the best responsibility.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah, I mean, my gosh, I would love to have
a life where I'm not responsible for anything. That would
be amazing. I'm responsible not only for me, but for
everybody else around me.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Apparently I did read that that you were looked on
as a goodwill ambassador for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Okay, yeah,
and so I think KSR does that better than anybody, right.
I mean we talked about this fan base all the
time in the Impact. I mean, it's a random Friday
in the summer in the in you you're you're packing out,
was it the Virginia.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
What an amazing venue they have in Summerset. And I
mean this like from the bottom of my heart, this
place is amazing. Over one hundred years old, Billy, I
wish you could have been there, but they did like
a big renovation, so like, you know, everything in there
is really nice. But they also kind of left like
the walls I guess, as they were in their original form,
so you can see that history. You can see the
(10:47):
history on the walls, literally written on the walls. Uh,
in the Virginia. But for a you know, a town
the size of Summerset to have something cool like that,
I think it's great. And what an amazing job they've
done renovating it. And uh, you know, a great sport,
a source of entertainment for the people in Somerset to
be able to bring in live music and they have
(11:08):
movie nights there and I think they did like a
music bingo similar to what we do at ks Bar.
I think we call it singo, but they do like
different events and everything, and what a cool place to
have there. So we hope that we'll be invited back
one day very soon because I would love to go
back to Somerset and play there again. And the acoustics
in there were amazing too. Like you know, we did
the show on Friday morning with Krgain with Alice Bluegown.
(11:32):
I mean, it was like one of the I think
I'll say one of I'm going to say right now.
It was the coolest venue we've ever played in really,
and we played it. We played Amphitheaters and we played
Blind opening well, I mean yeah, opening for Throwout Blind
was cool, but I'm talking about the venue itself was amazing.
And that's you know, nothing against the AMP. The Amp's
a cool place out there in New Haven too, but uh,
(11:53):
just that theater was was really cool and we got Billy.
You'll like this. We got a writer at this show.
I know you love that a writer. You were you
were obsessed with our rider at the third Eye Block.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Demands, so that you were perform at the Virginia or
did you have you updated it or you're just you're
now big enough to where the Rider actually applies.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well, we updated it by taking off a few bougie things.
You know, there are a few items on there that
I thought, okay, for third Eye Blind, we'll do the
thin mint cookies and the cupcake mescato. But you know,
just playing a show on our own, like you can
omit that you could take that out. We'll be fine
with the other things. And don't forget the beer, and
(12:32):
don't forget the meggy beef jerky take.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Away cliffs Godva.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yeah, so I'm like, you know what, we are not
going to make them run all over town trying to
find girl Scout cookies in the middle of June.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
So, now, was this your first show with your new guitarist.
Did he have any bougie demands? And how did that go?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
He didn't have any, and we didn't give him an
option to. I took the Rider together. Okay, I did
this one. I said, look, we're just gonna basically keep
what we had in our first rider. We'll take off
some of the bougie things and uh, we'll let that
We'll let that be the writer for us. But it
was all great, man. Everything was good, sound was great,
everybody really seemed to have a good time. And uh,
really again thanks to the Virginia and everybody there in
(13:12):
Summerset for the great hospitality.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
It was amazing.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Eight five nine two aight oh two two eight seven
is the phone number today. Five O two two sixty
five six six five six is the text line that
is back open and operating. If you'd like to join
the show in that regard, we'll talk about some of
the things that I missed over the past week.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I got to tip my cap to UK Baseball too.
I mean we haven't. I haven't talked to you since
there their heartbreaking loss to West Virginia. Shannon, I've been
watching a lot of baseball and uh, you know, much
more on the way. It's a Monday edition of the
KSR pre Show. It's Shannon the Dude and Billy Rutledge.
We will be right back. Welcome back. The dream team
is back together. It's the dynamic duo of Billy and
(13:50):
the Dude here on the KOSR Pre Show. Eight five
nine two eight oh two two eight seven. Shannon's in
the studio I'm here at the ESCO Championships getting ready
for the media day golf scramble. Uh, Shannon, I say,
I unplugged, but I did listen to one pre show
over the past week. That was when Nick Coffee joined
you last week maybe uh Tuesday, I think it was.
Oh yeah, I was on the road and make man.
(14:12):
Nick just went right on from four hours of radio
to an extra hour. Man he is. He is a
busy guy, and I'm sure he's still getting used to
that new schedule. He's got it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
The main thing that you take away from Nick was
the time that he has to get up in the morning.
And I, you know, complained about having to be in
here at seven o'clock and I get up at five
thirty every morning. Then I realized that day Nick goes
on the air at five o'clock. So I was, you know,
by the time I woke up, Nick was already thirty
many he was already into a second segment or third
segment of the show. He has to get up at
(14:41):
three thirty in the morning to be there at five.
I'm like, you'd have to pay me a lot of
money to have to get up at three thirty because
you're changing your life. You were literally changing your life
for your job at that point. That means you got
to you know, you can't set up till ten eleven
o'clock when you got to be up at three thirty
unless you want to just burn the candle with both ends,
and that only lasts so long. You can only do
(15:03):
that for so many years until it starts to have
effects on your health. Right, So that is a definite
lifestyle change. And getting up at three thirty every morning,
I would not like that at all.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
So yeah, you know, I I'm somebody that has to
get up probably an hour before I need to do
something like that, maybe three thirty four o'clock. But I
would be trying to cut it a little closer than that.
I mean, if you're five to nine, I'm getting up
at maybe four thirty. But I mean Nick was a
huge Pacers fan. He's like, how am I going to
watch the NBA Finals coming up? The games don't start
till eight o'clock.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
No, wait a minute, you're telling me if you had
to be at work at five, you would be up
at four thirty.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I mean, see, like it refits that with I'm somebody
that does need to wake up, So I mean I
would cut it closer than Nick, So I would be
getting up maybe four, four fifteen.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Okay, yeah, third, but how far you got to also
a factor in your drive time.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
You got to drive to work, Yeah, fifteen minute drive.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
The good thing is, I wouldn't say traffic would be
that bad driving in at four thirty in the morning.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
So that's the good thing about it.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
That's true. You're yeah, You're just you're going no traffic. Really,
I'll get some coffee in. But maybe I've become a
night shower person at that point, not a morning shower,
just to save a little time. But Nick is a
big Pacers fan, and hopefully he's you know, catching up
on OKC and the Pacers NBA Finals that started since
I've been gone, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
And game two was last night, Yeah, game two last night,
thunder one. But you know, did you see that first
game the Pacers with a shocker. I mean they didn't
did not lead the entire game until point three seconds
with that was it?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Halliburton? I think they knocked down that shot in the
first game.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Making a name for himself. Man, this is an all
time run for him in.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
This playoff Yep, the NBA Finals are here and this
is your last chance to bet on the NBA until
next season. And DraftKings sports Book has you covered. An
official sports betting partner of the NBA. They're pulling out
all the stops to make this a Finals to remember,

Speaker 1 (17:32):
So after Game one, ABC got a lot of complaints
that it looked like a normal regular season game out there,
it didn't have really the atmosphere of the Finals. So
to correct that for Game two, the TV broadcast digitally
imposed the Finals trophy on the court.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
That I did.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
And I saw that, and I was like, I don't
remember that being there in the first game. And I
guess because it wasn't there in the first game. Yeah,
it did.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
To me.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
It almost looked more distracting. I kind of prefer it
not not being on there. Did you see in the
first game? Also, there was a local I think it
was an Indianapolis or it was at least in the
state of Indiana.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
If it was in Indianapolis, there was.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
A local TV broadcast of the game, and with like
thirty seconds left in the game, Billy, they cut to
the news and like, coming up next here on the news,
we're going to talk about this and we got a
weather front coming in and they cut off like the
last thirty seconds of the game. Oh and that was
not broadcast to the local market. Can you imagine, I mean,
(18:31):
especially in Indiana where people are really paying attention, you
would think right more so than any.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Other state to that stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah, And imagine your local news you want to talk
about a way to make everybody mad that's watching and
probably going to boycott your your news station because of that.
When you cut off a game the last thirty seconds
in a playoff game.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Oh imagine the phone calls that news department was getting.
I gotta tell Jef Picoro that story, because I'm sure
he'll have a Heaver dream thinking about. You know some
of the situations where TV stations have cut off a
little bit too early.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
You can't do that in the final, No, like, what
are you doing?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
You can do it maybe a regular season game.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
No no, no, no, no no, you don't even do
it in a regular season game. And you especially don't
make that mistake in the playoffs, especially when it's your
home your home state team. You know, you're an Indiana
local affiliate and you do that with your Pacers playing
in the finals.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
You know, I wonder if that was somebody's call or
if that was like you had to be a mistake
and you're not expecting it and it just plays. Yeah,
so behind baseball talk there eight five nine to two
too eight seven let's take our first call of the day,
Shan here we got.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
All right, so you know, we talk about how common
it is to be a colonel. Our first caller is
actually a colonel. Is that Colonel John P.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Short?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, good morning John.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Yeah, well you wonder about Americans.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
The Honorable John Short.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Just a few colonels yucking it up?
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Yeah, you three colonels.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Now, that's right.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
What you got, John, I thought you can tell you.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
I think you can tell you about that next year
and that we would be in the College Willow Streets.
Here's that big all a SEC Kentucky, Randon Mill, Georgia, Alabama, Auburns,
Saxon Island, Missippi State, and there was it Arkansas in Texas.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yeah. I think you just about named every team in
the SEC SEC.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, I gotta beat all.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Those, Joh, then maybe in the Willow States Worlds Softball
in baseball, and we need.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
Murray State to beat Duke today.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yes, I'm glad that you brought that up. That is
going to be a huge game. They thumped Duke last night.
What was the score like, nineteen to nine I think
or something close to that. Bad Oh, yeah, they got
to tell Yeah, John probably knows was it nineteen to nine?
Speaker 7 (20:41):
It was?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
It was yep or nine to nineteen as you'd like
to say, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Then that nine in nineteen, yeah, but it was and
it was. And we in Murray State. You thenk you
go to the College forts Seas. That'd be the first
time ever. I don't that'd be something for they make it.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I would love to see that happen. They're the team
I'm pulling for.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I'm rooting for him. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Yes, and the Hanerson coach played for another coaching job.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
That happened, That is true. Yeah, Billy.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
We had their coach on last week, and John always
good to hear from you.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Thank you for the phone call. Colonel.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
We had their coach on last week, and at first
there was like, well, he's on the bus and you know,
he doesn't really want to take the phone call on
the bus, and I'm going, you're Murray State Baseball. When ever, again,
will you have the opportunity to talk to the entire
state of Kentucky on one phone call then being on
KSR like like last week. So finally turns out he
(21:35):
wasn't on the bus, he was in his car and
he gave us a call and We did a segment
with him and.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
He was great.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
So so he did come on.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
He did, He did eventually, but it took some doing.
And after Ryan screwed up, it was late. Like we
were talking about in the first second, he was late.
But then he was able to come through and get
a phone number for the Murray State baseball coach because
the guy has, you know, connections to everybody.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Well that's Ryan. I mean, as soon as he screws
up one thing, he'll make up for it.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
But thank you, Colonel John Short. We're looking forward to
the Murray State game. I think it's a six pm
first pitch versus Duke. Louisville made the College World Series
as well, the sixth time that they've made it as
a program in Kentucky. Got some news over the weekend
that they're getting some guys back, Tyler Bell, Ryan Schwartz,
Ben Cleaver, the starting pitcher with the last name Harris.
So that's a great sign after Minjion really had to
(22:21):
reload after last year. So good to hear after their
heartbreaking loss. It's Shannon the Dude and Billy Reutledge. We'll
take a break and be right back here on the
ksrpre Show. All right, welcome back. It's the Ksrpre Show.
Billy Rutledge and Shannon the Dude here eight five nine
two eight h two two eight seven call us their
Texas at five h two two six five six six
(22:41):
five six. Yes, I slept in over the past week, Shannon.
My body didn't just wake me up really time. It
did normal. Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Let me tell you about my my Friday night. So
after the show in Somerset, left got home at it
was one o'clock one am, and finally got settled into bed,
fell asleep at two am. And because of this job,
six am, you're right back up. Yeah, four hours of sleep,
that was it. And I tried to lay there and
(23:09):
I couldn't go back to sleep, like I'm just here,
I am. I cannot go back to sleep. It's that
automatic like internal clock because of this job. That now
on Saturdays and Sundays, it doesn't matter if I go
to bed at nine o'clock the night before or one
am or two am, I'm right back up at six
am regardless.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Now, you're a very busy guy, as you've told us
many times, the very wise Ryan LeMond is a nap guy.
Have you ever tried to fit a nap inch love
a nap love it.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
As a matter of fact, you know, in our green
room on Friday at summrset, Ryan stayed for the Alice
Bluegown show.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Oh nice.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
So he didn't go home after KSR. He stayed and
he kept mentioning over and over that he wanted to
come spoon with me on the big couch downstairs in
the green room. And I tried to point out, you know,
this is just for the band group. He's not allowed.
You can't get on that couch. That's my couch. I'm
taking a nap there. So yeah, I got a good
solid fifteen minutes on that couch before.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
That's all you need. That's all you need. I mean,
fifteen to thirty minutes is about the nap time that
you need. Anything more. You're gonna be a little groggy,
You're gonna get into that deep sleep cycle. So you
sound like a savvy veteran already. That's true, Shannon. Before
we get back to the phones, a couple congratulations. The
first goes to John Clay announced this morning that he's
going to retire from the Lexington Herald Leader. He was
a calumnist or he worked there for forty four years
(24:24):
currently a columnist now channed forty four years. A hell
of a career from John Clay, where I don't think
you can meet many people that would say a bad
thing about him. A very nice guy that's given me
the time of day to join me on some radio shows.
To a congratulations to John Clay after forty four years
in the business.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
That is quite a career.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
You know.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I just know John from calling him over the years
to talk to Tom Leach on the Leach Report. That's
kind of my I don't actually with John Clay. Is
that how you know him as well? For the most part.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
For the most part, yeah, I've met him in person
a couple of times. But yeah, I mean for years.
You know, I work for Dick Gabriel for a while.
You call him enough times you feel like you know
the guy.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
By the way, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
So yeah, can congratulations to John absolutely for a great
career and uh well respected Columbists. But you know, there
are a lot of guys you bring this up there,
there's a lot of guys that I have talked to
for years and years and years, and I don't think
I have ever met them face to face. I don't think.
I don't think I've ever met Dick Gabriel in person.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Oh, come on, you've never met Dick in person?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
No, Remember, I'm in Louisville. These guys are out of Lexington.
I don't think I've ever met John Clay. I don't
think I have. Chris Fisher is a guy who I
have talked to for literally fourteen years, every single Wednesday
or whatever day his day is on the Leach Report.
And I've never met the guy in person. It's crazy.
(25:40):
It's the craziest.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
So let's go through the Leach Report lineup.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Then.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Have you met justin Roland yet?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I don't think I have no no of Mike de Corsi, No, man,
I mean you talk to these people for a decade,
I know, like every week, and you know you've.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Never met I don't think I've never met Oscar Combs.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Well you got to meet Oscar. Yeah, Oscar is a delight,
takes the time to talk to you. See, you feel
seen when you're with Oscar. But you know, going the
probably probably many people feel like that about us, right,
I mean, I'm sure there's some people that have listened
to KSR for a decade.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Well, I mean we're out on Remote though every Friday,
like you know, you have an opportunity to come see
us because we're out in Lexington or Louisville or somewhere
across the state every single Friday, right, So I feel
like we're you know, we're out and about. But for
me being in Louisville and all these Lexington media personalities,
I don't ever have a chance to meet them unless
it's at a game maybe, you.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Know, yeah, like a Brandon Ramsey's on the Leach Reportal,
I don't.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Think I have none of these guys.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Now, one of these people listening is gonna say I've
met you five times, and it's gonna be like, oops,
I just guess I didn't remember that. But I don't
think I've met most of the people.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Who met to Goose Ray Goose joins time all the time.
He's come to a case are Remote once or twice.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, I think I've met Jack, but I think you
know he and I remember he confused me when we
were in Milwaukee for for Drew.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Really, well, uh it was it was around the same
time he was on a cruise ship and nobody had
told me that he was on vacation. So when I
called him for the Leach Report, He's like, yeah, man,
I'm on a cruise ship, but I'll still do the interview.
That's just the kind of guy jacket.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Anybody else you can think of that you have not known? No,
like Leach Report guests that's on every week, because I'm
trying to think of who else. Maybe I think that
that covers it pretty much.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah, you've hit the You've hit the big hitters for
the most part.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yeah, a lot of of all the guests on that show,
I've not met more than I've actually actually met, if
that makes any sense. Like, you know, I obviously knew
Mike Pratt met him, but like the other guys, I've
never even met him before.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Crazy, strange, strange work life that you live. I want
to give one more congratulations, then we'll hit the phones.
Do you know that the longest and most successful telephonon
in America is run out of Louisville, Kentucky. Cruiser Child
This past weekend, that's right, the Whas Crusader Children. It
was the seventy second annual this past weekend. They raised
five point eight nine million dollars for special needs childrens
(28:02):
throughout Kentucky. So congratulations to them, Shannon. One of my
first jobs in radio was the overnight w h A
s crusade for children shift new or midnight to.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Noon, midnight to noon. Yep, you weren't even on the air, right,
you were.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Just pushing button even on the air.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I've worked that, shopping, but I've worked every shift there
is to work in radio throughout the years. As a
matter of fact, that was my first on air shift
was for the Fox, the active rock station, and they
put me on Sunday nights midnight to five am.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Midnight to five. I mean, you gotta you gotta find
your time. That's the best way to do it too.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Yeah, you're just talking to you're talking to Ford and Ups.
That's basically you're broadcasting too.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Those were so oh yeah, congratulations everybody involved there. Terry
Miners is a big part of that. They got to
a certain goal where one guy on the television broadcast
had to eat a cicada.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
He ate a cicada?
Speaker 7 (28:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Was it live or do we live?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
They had to reach a certain dollar amount of the
guys that I'd eat a cicada live on air, and
when they hit that.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah. No, no, no, I know the race. I know the
TV was. Was the cicada alive?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Oh yeah, I don't know the specifics on them. I
heard the story and just heard that he had ate
a cicada. But in the same vein. Lex eighteen went
viral over the weekend for asking who's more annoying, cicadas
or Tennessee fans saw that? Yeah, and that got picked
up nationally. Uh, and I believe Tennessee fans won that pulse.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Of course, of course they did. They knew what they
were doing.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Cicadas, though, are screaming. I don't know how much time
you're spending outside.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
It almost got like Saturday night. Almost got hit right
in the forehead with one of those clumsy flyers. You're
a little kamikazi.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
The bugs that will just hit you right in the head.
They're loud too, Like you said, they're They're annoying, but
as we found out, not quite as annoying as Tennessee fans.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
So can I get you to eat a cicada? No?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
No.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I have other ways of getting protein. I'll just take
a protein I already had a protein bar this morning.
I'm not eating a cicada.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
All right, let's go back to the phones. Who do
we got up next to you?
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Grandma Sarah, good morning, Hey, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
To be the one to bust your else bubble about
this Kentucky colonel thing. But everybody has one. I have one,
My husband even had two.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I tried to tell you, Colonel. I tried to tell
Billy it wasn't that big of a deal.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
No, I mean, you know, I mean it's great. I
guess there's got them, but I think they pass them
out like I don't know what. Yeah, I just want
to let you all know that there is a whole
lot of things of Kentucky colonel's. I mean, I don't
know the number, but I'm sure, Shannon, you know there
is a lot.
Speaker 7 (30:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Okay, Google tells us over five hundred thousand people, So
if everybody's got I'm not surprised.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
Okay, have a good day, Thank.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
You, Colonel. Grandma s Earah.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Say there's two callers and both of them are colonels.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Well there's a wrestling clip where guy's crying in the stands.
It's still real to me, damn it, Entucky Colonel.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Her One person writes in on Twitter, Chuck says, hey, dude,
back in the day, the governor used to give out
Kentucky colonel certificates if you donated at least two hundred
and fifty dollars to his campaign, and it was more
than just one governor just saying, so not stop not
throwing any names out there specifically, but do you believe that,
(31:12):
Billy that governor's back in the day in Kentucky would say, Hey,
you know, if you just donate two hundred and fifty
bucks to my campaign, I can make you a Kentucky colonel.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
No, I believe it, But that is an abusive power show.
You shouldnt just be going around knighting people to become
Kentucky colonels.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
That was the thing too, Like so you know, my
dad sees like, oh, that's awesome, that's amazing.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Not many people get.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Those, And I'm like, eh, I don't think that's true.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
But like, what do I do with this thing? Do
I frame it?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Oh? I'm definitely framing it. It's going in the living room.
But if everybody's got one above the mantle, yeah, but
I mean walk in and see it, my honor.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
If everyone's got if I don't know man, I got
a I got I mean, I'm not gonna throw it away.
Don't get me wrong. I'm definitely gonna keep it. But
now that I'm learning that everybody's got one, I just
don't know if I still frame it and put it
up there proudly.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Don't let Dan Issel hear you say that, Shannon. I mean,
this is an honor. Okay, this is the ABA professional
team in the state. We are Kentucky Colonels. Shannon to say,
you know, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Put it up in my man cave to impress all
my friends when they walk over. But if that's right,
But if they're all colonels too, then they're like, oh, no,
big deal, this.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Guy colonel party.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I guess it's like, you know, I guess a Green
Bay Packers fan who quote unquote owns the team and
actually thinks they're an owner.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Well technically they are. Yeah, yeah, do you do you
go to the NFL owners meeting? No you don't.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
I mean, I'm an owner of a horse too, but
I don't get to go to the meetings.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Yeah, yeah, everybody owns. The word owner is getting a
little bit too liberal now as well.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Never did get my owner's hat. By the way, I'm
a little mad about that.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah, you never got your home because Matt gave them
to random people coming into ks Bar.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
I never got one.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Yeah, all right, let's take another call, Shannon.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
Before you allowed that to happen, that's on you.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
I did no such, I was not involved. I'm a journalist.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
No, I'm blaming you.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
It's just an owner of any horse. You got to
interview the job.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Now he gave away my hat. It's your fault. You're
the GM, it's your fault. All right, Kathy, what's up?
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Kathy?
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Hello, Yes, I'm here. Are you all there? We got Yeah,
we got you, Okay, we mixed because I speaker. I
was working around the house. I actually have three colonels,
not to outdo anybody else.
Speaker 6 (33:28):
What do you mean.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
It all?
Speaker 3 (33:32):
They all have to be from a different governor.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Oh so you got So you're a Kentucky colonel three
times over from three different governors. I think that's way
more impressive than yeah, you're like a triple colonel.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Well but I'm really old.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
So well, that don't matter who we're going to hold
that against you. I mean that's the.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
First one was from John y Brown, that's my favorite one.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Did you donate to his campaign?
Speaker 3 (33:55):
No, I did not. I was the captain of the
first Kentucky cheerleading squad ever to go to Nationals. But
we didn't win.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Well, it's okay. You still got a colonel certificate.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
That's almost as good as a national title, is the
Kentucky colonel certificate?
Speaker 3 (34:13):
There, Well, we all the whole squad got one, So
that's okay though.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Yeah, well the whole k s R. Squad got the
Kentucky colonel certificate too.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I think you did.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
Mario got one.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Jeez, well, I mean it just hold on to him.
You may have three by the time you're my age.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
There you go, all right, Kathy, thank you for coming in.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
We appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Triple colonel, I have great day too.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Now I think I may found a new goal in life.
Share and may they can become a triple colonel and
achieve the rank that Kathy has. I mean, what a
goal to strive for.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Yeah, at that point, you're like, I don't know what's
above a colonel admiral.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
People are going to roll their eyes. I'm not sure
it's not in the military service. Yeah, we were talking
horses there, just a second ago. Did you happen to
watch the Belmont over the week?
Speaker 4 (35:04):
I did not.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I had a lot of things going on. The last
thing I was going to do is watch a bunch
of horses.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
That's right. You watch horse racing one day of the year.
That's the Kentucky Derby. Belmont was won by Sovereignty in
a late finish, beating Journalism. It looked like Journalism was
going to kind of run away with it in the
final turn, and then Sovereignty came back. So maybe the
right move made by trainer Bill Mott to hold them
out of the second race before the Belmont, unfortunately did
not win the triple crowds.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
See what you see. That's the thing though, Now you
got two out of three. You didn't run on the
other one. Now you'll never You'll never know.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
It's just a mystery at this point. You know, maybe
this rivalry will continue to progress when these horses become
three year olds and they race next year. But you know,
it seems like a missed opportunity for the sport. But
for the trainer, I think they feel a little vindicated
after the win.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
There's no doubt.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Okay, So the rank above A colonel is a general general.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
I don't know how to say this word.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Brigader. I know I'm pronounced. How would you say this
b R I G A D I E R brigadier brigadade,
brigadier brigadier general general.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I apologize to all the military network. Yeah morning.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Well look, I mean we're not we're colonels. We're not generals.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
That's right, We're not. We don't, we don't. We're gonna
need to know basis. I mean going to become a
triple colonel before I've ever become whatever that is.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
So I feel like if you've got three Kentucky Colonels,
then you're basically two ranks above a colonel.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I mean all the five KSR guys. I mean, we've
got our own basketball squad, Shannon, the colonels.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
We'll just bring back the NBA team the Kentucky Colonels
with us.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Come on, get the jerseys ready, get.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Some shirts, and we'll probably win less games than the
Colorado Rockies having baseball.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Stop, what are they at? Like?
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Have they gotten the ten yet?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Oh? My gosh, they're bad. They had some nice jerseys
and saw a former UK player had a triple there
the other day. So let's take one more call and
then we'll take a break. Shannon, we got time for that.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Yeah, we got a couple of callers. Just get Ronnie
on real quick before the break ahead, Ronnie, Ronnie.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
What's up?
Speaker 6 (37:10):
What's up? Guys. I don't know if you know this
is I don't know if you know this as well.
On the Kentucky colonel thing, if I missed it, but
you all now had the right to bestow someone else
with being a Kentucky colonel. You can make that happen.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Oh okay, Billy, who You're gonna make a Kentucky colonel
your dog?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
I mean, I'm gonna be much less liberal than Andy
Basheer giving it out to the KSR guys. I mean
it's gonna it's a high honor, Shannon. So I mean,
I'm not my dog just getting it. But yeah, I mean, I'm.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
Just saying, if everybody's got it.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
You could you can make your neighbors colonels.
Speaker 5 (37:46):
Today.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
I'm not making it.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Well, it depends on how the pumpkins go.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
You know.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Oh I heard about the vines.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Yeah, because he's because we okay, we had a conversation
about this yesterday, and Ronnie, did you want to say
anything else before we let you go?
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Before I get into those conversation.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Good.
Speaker 6 (38:00):
I just wanted to tell you all that that you
can put it on anyone else.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Okay, good, good info.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Thank you, running you appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
So we're out there, you know, yesterday, uh, staring at
the garden, and those pumpkin leaves are getting big. But
he's like, you know, if your pumpkins don't do well,
we could put some squash over here here here. I'm
going no, no, wait a minute. Now, you're gonna be
crowding my pumpkins. These pumpkins are gonna be going everywhere.
And he's already trying to talk about putting squash in
between my pumpkins, and I'm going, nah, I don't think.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
So little time.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
Ah no, Hey, I'm got to mark my territory.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Don't make me already infringed on your yard, right, this
is kind of yeah, don't make me.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Don't make me call up a surveyor and come out
there and put a rope between us, because I know
where my property line is.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
I've lived there for dumpkin vines. Don't destroy his yard
and his I won't.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
But you know you can't be uh intruding with your squash.
Speaker 1 (38:48):

to spray paint it out for you? Maybe a fence built.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
So yeah, he's not gonna get a Kentucky Colonel award
for me.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Where the guy but the other guy that was winning
all that money walking out? The same guy okay to
the other.
Speaker 2 (39:04):

his side view mirror.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
He's just great for the show. Good content, that's right.
Maybe he should be a Kentucky colonel. Wow. Well, I'm
gonna think about who I will bestow with this honor today.
It will be my main question. We need to take
a break that we'll be our back here on the
KSR pre show Welcome Back, It's Billy and the Dude.
One person on the text line says the population of
Kentucky is only four point five million, so if five
(39:28):
hundred thousand people have a colonel certificate, then one in
nine people have a certificate.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
