Speaker 1 (00:00):
Cannot wait to show you guys the beer label like
you know, in a can with the label on it.
It looks absolutely amazing. But I do have some news
to share with you. I've got the green light on
this coming up starting in August, late August, early September.
People always ask me where can I get the beer
(00:22):
like out, you know, outside of Country Boy Brewing. Starting
in late August slash early September, you'll be able to
get it in Kroger stores all across the state of Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
So huge, huge news.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
For the expansion of the brand for the beer with
Country Boy Bring Shann the deozebrew. Then after that it
will be in liquor stores and you'll be able to
get it just out like you can you know, domestic beer,
like any other beer. It's all going to be out
there at the end of summer and then leading right
into football season. So massive, massive get and great job
by the Country Boy Brewing team. Really excited about that.
(00:58):
And I'll buy you a six pack or a four
pack whatever it comes in.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Well, thank you job.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Now.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I am a big fan of the modifications made to
the Shannon the Dude brew by a Country Boy and
maybe a little bit of a pinch me moment for
our superstar rock singer OVW Wrestler radio show hosts that
you have your own beer in Kroger. I mean, that's
that's pretty cool, shann You say that outline a.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Little spoiler alert what you said there?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
You mentioned all those things that's all going to be
incorporated into the label of the beer. Really, so yeah,
it's it's like, okay, I'm really looking forward Like the
label is kind of like a collage of things, and
as soon as I get the okay to share the label,
I'll have that out there on social media.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
So I'm really excited about it.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Just got that news literally minutes before we went on
the air, So really looking forward to to that.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Very good.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
You said you got to you just got a text
with that news, right. Yes, I have a problem regarding
text messages, Shannon. We have a problem text the text
lines down.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
No, the text line's fine five O two two six
five six six if you'd like to join the show.
But our KSR group chat is pivotal to the show,
right whether I'm in there sending the address of the
remote coming up, or maybe Matt's sending a text that says,
you know where you guys are going to be doing
the show that day, whether at the bar or in studio.
It's important to sustain communication. Well, I sent a text
(02:21):
to the KSR group chat just yesterday giving the new
address of our remote tomorrow, Shannon with the US Army.
We are going to be at five eleven Tactical, which
is an actual store in Hamburg and Lexington. That's two
three oh four, Sir Barton Way. And Mario never got
the text, Shannon se Ryan Lemons android prevented Mario from
(02:43):
ever getting the text. So Mario's like, what's the address
for tomorrow? Can you help me with this info? I'm like, dude,
I sent it five six hours ago. He sends me
a screenshot. He never got it. Ryan Lemon's android is
ruining our text conversations. Nothing new, but to see it
play out in person like that, Shannon, We've got to
do something.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I've had the same thing happen before, where you guys
are mid conversation and I'm getting like the back end
of it and I'm going like, what are you guys
talking about? Like I didn't get the initial text. That
brings up the conversation I get like, oh my god,
I'm like, OMG, what, Like what does that mean? Like
I don't even know, Like I'm getting like the fourth
text and a chain of text messages in the group
(03:25):
and it's all because of Ryan's phone. But explain to
me how that works, Like why is it that sometimes
I get the text messages but then sometimes I don't,
And sometimes it's Mario that doesn't get the text mess
Is it possible that it's actually our iPhones that are
screwing this up? Or or you're just blaming Ryan's droid?
Like why is it sometimes I get it and sometimes
I don't.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Well, that's my question because I have an iPhone and
Mario has an iPhone, So why would that communication be disrupted?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Right?
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I would think that it would be Ryan would be
the one not getting the certain text or us not
getting Ryan's text. So I don't know that answer, but
this has got to be solved, Like, you know, is
this important for us in our livelihood? But take it
up a notch, like we can't have androids and iPhone
group chats for the possibility of people not getting messages.
(04:12):
It's twenty twenty five she and that is completely unacceptable.
I guess I'm just gonna have to keep texting everybody
individually then, because right or maybe a group without Ryan
is what.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
We'll have to see.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I don't really like group text messages to begin with,
because my phone is constantly going off.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
This is it when it actually does work.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
So there's been times where I've had like you know,
the family group text and I have to actually put
it on silent. I don't tell them it's on silent,
but I got you on silent, so I'm not gonna
get those, you know, the buzz, the vibration. Every time
I get a text message, I just put you on
silent and then I look down and it says twenty
I get a little bubble that says twenty four messages
next to my my text message. You're like, whoops, now
(04:49):
I got a novel to read. That's why I hate
text messaging. Like, if you need me, just call me,
unless it is something like this where you're just you know,
sending out an address now or Vince Mara leaves and
you have detection and holy bleep, yeah, he's like yeah, what, yeah,
did you mean to send that?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Going on? What is happening now?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Speaking of sending out where we're going to be for
remote today, not you and I but KSR. And by KSR,
I mean Matt Ryan and I guess Mario is going
to be with them. They're doing this thing. They're starting
the series of in your House. I don't know what
we're calling it. I'm calling it in your House. Half
back in the day used to have a pay per
view called in your House. This is KSR in your
(05:29):
House where Last week we had callers make their their
case for why KSR should come to their house or
their place of business to do a radio show. And
last week we had I believe it was five or
six entries and we decided to take KSR to a
(05:50):
retirement home. Billy, Now I feel duped a little bit here.
Let me tell you why. When we all voted, I said,
KSR needs to go to a retirement home. That would
be awesome, you know, like a nursing home. It's you know,
a place where uplift spirits. Yeah, exactly, that is it. Exactly.
You go in there, you bring a radio show to
(06:10):
a nursing home and look as somebody personally who has
spent with my grandmother over the years a lot and
I mean a lot of time.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
In nursing homes.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
It's sad because those people ninety percent or more of
those people never get anybody to come visit them.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
They just don't. And I saw that firsthand.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I was, you know, her roommate and had people in
her family that never came to see her unless it
was a holiday or her birthday.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
So I know when we went.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Through the voting process, I said, yes, take the radio
show to the retirement home nursing home, because it would
make those people's day, maybe even weak to have a
radio show there, uplift their spirits. As you said, Billy, Well,
come to find out after the show, it's not exactly
a retirement home. It's a retirement community, which is quite
(06:59):
a bit different than a retirement home, Billy. A retirement community,
it's just where older people live in, you know, a neighborhood.
So they're kind of going to a retirement community. And
those people, I mean, they're living life. And those are
the upside down Pineapple. You know, neighborhoods. Not saying this
village is in Florida, this particular neighborhood is, but I'm
(07:19):
saying the places where you would have the upside down
Pineapple and the loofahs. It is a retirement community, probably
in Florida, the loofahs, remember the loofs, depending on what
color the loofah was. That was the nudge, nudge, wink wink.
Here's what I'm into, you know, subliminal mother. There's a
whole chart. Yeah, yeah, the whole chart exactly. So you know,
(07:40):
I don't know if I would have voted for the
retirement community had I known it was a community, not
a retirement home necessarily, Billy.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I understand your distinction, but I do believe they deserve
uplifting as much as the people in the retirement home.
Come on, they're just you know, uplifting everybody a little
bit more active. Yeah, I mentioned the villages. There are
just some stories of some retirement communities that go a
little off the rail shine and so.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
They are living their best life at that point.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
When you get to the age where you just don't care, right,
we talked about that. And then when you're at that
age with a lot of like minded individuals, then you
start riding golf carts naked shanning. You know, maybe you
decide to get the loofahs out. It's like it's just
a kind of let loose a little before I go
to a retirement home one day. So maybe we get
(08:32):
some like action today. Maybe there's a little madness. Maybe
Mario's got to go door to door in this retirement community.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
But I know they'll make it entertaining.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
They always do, and I think it's a great idea to, uh,
you know, kind of do a pop up show in
somebody's house. I would never be one of those people
shitting you're not coming over to my house.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
You'd have to see my garage. I don't even get
to come over when there's a party. I don't get invited.
We already know we're not coming to your house. We
trust me. You've already made it very clear that none
of us are welcome at the Billy R.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Sports House. I had nothing to do with you not
getting invited.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
You, on the other hand, you were invited to my party,
my derby party. Mario was invited. You guys were in Louisville,
literally just a couple of miles up the road, and
you could not be bothered to come hang out with me.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Because I told that one on Mario.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
If we remember, I was not invited to the Beck
Gala the next day in Arizona, as the guys famously
went to go play TPC Scott still without me and
Mario had to get on a flight at like five
in the morning the next day, so you know, to
take him all the way out there to Bullet County.
I didn't feel like it was doing our young sportsman
(09:42):
much good. But listen, Schannon, we were I'm excited to
come over play a little Super Nintendo with you and
all that and have a little shan in the dude brew.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Now, yesterday Matt was talking on the show about it.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It was at the end of the show.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
If you didn't hear it, he accidentally walked out.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
On a bill at a restaurant with a buddy.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
And I want to ask you, Billy, have you ever
because I don't think this is that common, walked out
on a bill in a restaurant.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Have you ever done that before?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
No, not a sit down restaurant like that, Okay, neither
of I I've just wanted to.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
See, like if it's common.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I wanted to see if walking out on a bill
is as common as a Kentucky colonel was in the state.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
We know that everybody's a Kentucky colonel.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I thought that maybe everybody had a you know, I
walked out on my bill on accident story, But I
don't have one.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
You.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I've never died and dashed either.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
You know, I've you know, thought about it, but you
know you've seen it in movies, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
But no, I've never done that.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
And you don't want to treat restaurant employees or workers
like that, right.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
So well, let me just tell you I've done it.
I didn't know. I didn't, but a buddy of mine did.
All right, we were out. It was me and like
two other guys, and both of those guys got a
little too drunk and they just up and left and
left me with the bill.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Now I have had that situation.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
To where, you know, going in, I thought everybody were
going Dutch, everybody's paying for their own bill. And then
I get there and I'm the only one.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
That's halfway sober.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
The rest of the guys get wasted, they just wander off,
and I'm stuck with the bill. That has happened. Well,
that's a heavy move by your friends. You were gonna
know you're not well. That's when you know you need
new friends, you need replacement friends. At that point maybe,
but yeah, never done that. And something did come up
with me though a couple of days ago that kind
of reminded me of this story when when Matt was
(11:28):
telling his story about accidentally walking out on a bill.
I wasn't stealing, but I felt like I was being
accused of it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Billy.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I don't know how often you go grocery shopping? Now,
do you ever go, like, does Marissa do that? Or
do you do the grocery shop? I do it pretty often.
We'll go together a lot of times. I would say
I'm at Costco or Kroger Myers two or three times
a week. Okay, all right, well two or three times
a week. Wow, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
See. I try to avoid grocery stores at all costs.
I've told you.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I get lost in them. I can't find where anything is.
It's just a stressful situation for me to have to
go grocery shopping because I can't ever find where anything is.
I know they got the you know, the signs up
ahead on each aisle sign, but it's, you know, like
it never fails, like I can't whatever I'm looking for
just so happens to not be up there, and so
I'm at Kroger a couple of days ago, though, you
(12:15):
know my once a month trip to Kroger, and you
tell me if you if they have these at your Kroger. Billy, Okay,
when I'm going through the self scanned because you know,
you you go to a grocery store. Now there's no
cash here in sight. You got to you gotta do
all the work, you know. I feel like I'm basically
an employee Kroger. I'm the cash here, I'm the bagger.
I feel like I should get paid.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Bag in the day, John Short with bag your groceries exactly.
And I don't.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I don't like the fact that they don't have cashiers anymore.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
But that's kind of the world we live in. But anyway,
I digress.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I bring this up because I am I've got like
four different things and I'm scanning them and I'm bagging
them up one by one. But then the last thing
that I get to is an air filter, you know,
like the big rectangular air filters. I scan it, but
I can't put it in the bag, you know, So
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what
(13:04):
to do with it. I just kind of scan it
and hold it in my hand and I try to
pay for it, but before I can pay for it
to go to the screen, all of a sudden, the
screen goes black and then it flashes the video like
an overhead shot of me not bagging the air filter,
and it's like it's basically instant replay for thieves, and
(13:24):
I felt like I was being called out by this automat,
automated machinery that was like, hey, this guy like Belle's
and whistles start going off and then the attendant that's
over here now has to come over, and I'm embarrassed
because my lights are blinking and it's basically like setting
off alarms, like this guy's stealing over here. I'm like,
I'm not stealing. I don't know what to do with
the air filter. It won't fit in your little Kroger bag.
(13:45):
And she's say, no, no, no, it's okay, it's okay. Then
I'm like, I'm like, well, why the uproar? Why why
are the lights blinking? And you know it's it's showing
basically me what it thinks is is stealing.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
And I didn't know have you have you had that
happen to you before?
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Yeah, it's it's it's the camera has come on on
me before. Yeah, for the items that you may put
in the car, instead of that kind of area with
the bags that senses the weight. I have had that
happen to before. I do like the thought of like
the hand gesture, let's go to the monitor. Yeah, instant
replay for thieves.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Is this guy trying to do something shady?
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Here?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
What's he doing?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I'm going, no, I can't bag the filter Like, well,
I don't know what to do, but I just like that.
You know, they're getting so sophisticated with these self scanners.
You know, they can't lose any money. God forbid, they
actually hire a cashier. You know, they're saving money that way.
Now they're trying to catch people who are I guess,
just putting items in the bag that aren't paying for it.
(14:41):
But I didn't understand what was going on because I
scanned it and then held on to it, and it
was it was calling me out and I didn't appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Well, yeah, you're you're just a casualty at this point,
you know. Unfortunately, it can be egregious at times when
people maybe scan a banana and they look like they're
scanning something else at the exact same time as they
try to scan that banana. So I understand the need
for these cameras, but like you said, God forbid, we
have a cashier that actually does the job.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
You want to pay the stealing, yeah, exactly, you want
to save money. I don't know, maybe you hire a
cash here for eight dollars an hour, and I don't
think anybody's gonna sneak one past the cashier unless they're
stuffing stuff in their pockets or down their pants.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Costco they have a person that checks your receipt where
you can leave the store, and it's probably the worst
part of the experience of Costco because there's a long
line and then you're like, are you really gonna check
off every item that I have? But they're checking things like,
you know, at the bottom of your card, if you
got the cans and everything like that. It just it
just felt like a sports moment to like where they're
(15:43):
going to the monitor, It's like, we got to review this,
make sure he's not doing anything he's supposed to.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
The toe on the line.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
We basically we basically now have aerial instant replay for
thieves at Kroger and I'm all about it.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
I think, well, you're gonna have to water once a month.
I mean I sit on there two or three times
a week. You know, there's like deli areas and place
where you can get like some chicken Shannons.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
You should check out your local Kroger. I don't feel
welcome anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I'll go back when they have Shannon the Dude's brew
at Kroger, and I will buy that at one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
But other than that, I don't know. I don't know.
I see your face on the wall of that air filter.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I kind of feel like the exactly have you seen
this man? He's stolen air filter from us. Those air
filters aren't cheap either, by the way, Well, good on
you change in the air filter. I mean, well, yeah,
who doesn't change the presence of mind to change the
air filter? You're breathing all that air. You're supposed to
change it like every couple of months. But those I
mean it's literally though.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Some springs and a piece.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Of cardboard, and it's twenty five dollars. And I'm going
there's no way that this thing should.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Cost this much.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I mean, talk about giving somebody a motivation to steal.
I mean, who would want to pay twenty five dollars
for a piece of cardboard? But you got to. But anyway,
we're going to take a break. We're late for a break.
Eight five, nine, two eighth twenty two eighty seven. My
rant of the instant replay at Kroger is over. We'll
go to the monitor, we'll get it. We'll get into
some sports and take your phone calls. Coming up next
here on the ksrprecio, it's hitting the dude and to
(17:08):
talk to me and Billy, give us a call on
the Clark's Popping Chop phone line at eight five, nine,
two to eight oho, twenty two to eighty seven, and instead,
the Pacers are now up two games to one, and
all the pressure now shifts over to being on Oklahoma
City at this point with the next game in Indiana again.
So what do you think do the Pacers have a
chance to actually win this series?
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Billy, Oh, they got more than a chance, Channing, I mean,
I think America's falling in love a little bit with
the Pacers as the lovable underdog. Halliburton hitting these last
minute shots, his dad finally being back in the building
and wearing those crazy jeans he had on last night,
even like TJ McConnell going nuclear last they had forty
nine bench points.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I mean, that is a whole team effort.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
As much as I want to see Shay have success
and finish off this MVP season, man, it's it's been
a lot of fun watching the Pacers battle back every
time that they get punched.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, I'm with you. I mean, washing Shay is a
lot of fun. He's amazing. But I'm team Pacers right now.
I want to see the Pacers pull it off. I
thought thunder and six Now I don't know. I mean
it's still very well could be. Maybe Oklahoma City comes
out and wins. The rest of the wins three in
a row and this thing's over but looking good right
now for the Pacers. And you can bet on it

(19:05):
You got Kentucky and North Carolina. No rule shocker there.
I mean, I think that that's the team that we
would expect to play since we already have Duke on
the schedule for next year. Right, Duke on the schedule?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I think? So am I wrong about that?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I thought that it was Michigan State at the Champions
Classic this year. Okay, so there was a thought that
maybe Duke could come to Upperna for this child.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Oh, you're right, you're right, You're right, yep.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Uh, But you know, I think North Carolina's probably the
next best choice. So two years into this acc SEC challenge, uh,
and you've taken on Miami and Clemson, and I think
that's been a little bit of a dud, even though
Clemson got the best to you last year. But you know,
Mark Pope went on that rant where he said, you
do you know we're Kentucky basketball. We want to beat
(19:49):
the best of the best. We want the best players,
you want to pay the most for the players, and
playing a brand like North Carolina goes I think a
long way for the fan base, don't you think.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Oh yeah, for sure, I've been thinking back, you know,
the great games against North Carolina throughout the years. Of
course you think of Tayshawn Prince going on Anthony Davis,
even the game. It wasn't a great game, but Kentucky
blew out in North Carolina? Was it back in twenty
one we were in that game? Yeah, well there was
Vegas twice. It was Vegas with Monk when he went
(20:20):
off and had one of the greatest games I've ever seen.
And then we also got the game in twenty one
which was they replaced somebody.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
I forget who it was.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Kentucky was supposed to play out in Vegas, North Carolina?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Was it Ohio stage? Yeah, I think it was.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
We ended up playing North Carolina won by like thirty points.
That was like the savier wheeler. Wheeler just went off. Yeah,
they could not stop him. I think that was also.
I might be wrong about this, but I think that
might also be the game where Dante Allen like refused
to go in you remember that.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
I don't remember that. I do remember Max stuff. He
was on that trip with you guys, right.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
And I think Ryan had to leave early the time
we go on one of these trips, like all hell
breaks loose and somebody ends up having to fly home
two or three days before the show is over.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
But well, and in twenty one, you weren't doing a
lot of traveling before that. So you guys are getting
out and about, right, you know, kind of doing all that.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
But I remember you guys were in the car and
then the game got that's right, and so yeah we
found out. Yeah, we're like, what if we just drove
all the way to Vegas and like they don't play
a game, Well, that would be KA the Ultimate KSR Curse, right,
And then I think later on that night at the concert,
they invited the family to come up and sing kocobo,
(21:36):
you know all stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
That's very believable. What a bizarre episode of If.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
KSR can show up at your house, the Beach Boys
can show up at your house, right, that's it.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
That is a great tie up, a great transition there
to tie it back to the show.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
So the rust in P's Brian Wilson, legendary singer and yeah,
just iconic music if you're if you're into the surfer rock.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
We have a little breaking news at this point.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Okay, I don't have a breaking news button for That's fine,
That's fine, fine. But Pete Thamil has put out a
new tweet regarding Vince Marrow. He says Vince Marrow's move
from Kentucky to Louisville is official, as he signed a
three year deal. His formal title at Louisville will be
Executive Director of Player Personnel in Recruiting.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
In a statement to ESPN, Morrow said, it hurts, It
really hurts, and he.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Mentioned on the South everything I've read because people have asked,
is that like a big bump in salary or what's
his main motivation for leaving Kentucky?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
From what I read was it was sort of a
lateral move in salary. Maybe just a better situation behind
the scenes. That's all I could read into it. Yeah,
he released a statement. Vince Marrow has released a statement.
I'm not going to read the entire thing. He talks
about lifelong friendships. He thanks the University of Kentucky and
Mark Stoops. No mention of a salary by Pete Thamil
(22:54):
or anybody at this point, but Vince has made a statement,
so I guess that does make it official. He will
be moving to Louisville to become the executive director of
Player Personnel and Recruiting. I was kind of hoping in
that period between when it was announced and well just
then when you said that was official, maybe there was
a slight chance he could go back to Kentucky. But then,
(23:15):
if you're Kentucky, you probably would say, you know what,
just go on at this point.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Well, that was probably one of the more bizarre moments
of the cow stuff was when he kind of got
the cold feet and asked Mitch, you know, would there
be any chance of a return. At that point, he
had already spoken to Arkansas officials avoiding the buyout, and
so you know, Mitch was like, no, we're going to
go our own way. But I'd be tough seeing him
come back after all this news. Kind of like how
(23:40):
it was tough to see Stoops come back after all
the Texas A and m Let's say, like you think
these guys love the teams that they coach for, It's
a different kind of love.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
You know, it's a business to them. That's the things there.
We see that.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, And I kind of made that point on KSR yesterday.
It's different when you grow up here or like in
Mark Pope situation, you played here. You know, even though
Pope's not a Kentucky and you know, wasn't born and
raised in Kentucky and he played here, he won a
national talker.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
He knows the culture, right.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
So I think it's a lot different for coaches who
either grew up in the state or played at the
state and came back to coach here versus guys who
just come in from other states and you know you're here.
You know, Matt drew the comparison if he went to
Illinois Sports Radio, he would go there. He would still
try to do the best that he could at that
job and make make it successful, but doesn't mean as
(24:35):
much as it would Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
It's a business at that point, and even though we
hate to see it happen, we hate to see Vince leave,
especially when you go straight to your biggest rival. It's
a tough pill to swallow, but it is reality and
at this point we just have to deal with it.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Kind of that that would be great on Illinois Sports Radio.
But would he have the same passion, right? Would he
know the history the same way like he does Kentucky,
which he grew up you know, watching and loving. So
it's a there's definitely some truth to that, I'm sure,
and that is that has led to lanes like KSR
becoming popular, right because people want to hear more of
that passion. They want to talk with like minded individuals. So,
(25:15):
you know, that is just what our society has become
to a degree. But Vince going off to Louisville, I
guess that means Mark can now speak on it right
now that it's official.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Sure, So I guess that's that's a point that I
would like. I think that.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Stoop should be on Kentucky Sports ready today today would
be great again, you don't want to wait until your
next speaking engagement that's scheduled, which I believe is July
seventeenth at SEC Media Days. At that point we're already
gonna If he waits that long, you might as well
not even talk.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
About it at that bo from Vince.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Ultimately, my goal at the University of Louisville is to
win a national championship. I am very confident that we
can accomplish that goal, and I can't wait to get started.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
What if it happens, what events goes to louisll and
they win a national title, I guess, you know, to
be fair, he would have a much better chance of
doing it at Louisville than at Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Yeah, Like, career move wise, I understand why Vince Marrow
did this, even being one of two people in the
state that wished him luck this past week. I understand
why he made the career move right because he might
have a career two or three years later after Louisville too.
I mean, and if Mark Stoops were to get fired
after this next year, maybe people view Vince Marrow as
(26:24):
just Mark Stoops's recruiting guy. Now he can kind of
evolve from that, But as we've tointed out, it's the
fact he's.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Going to Louisville that brought so many people there.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Now, I felt like Vince could have had a career
at Kentucky for as long as he wanted to.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Maybe I'm wrong about that. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Again, I can't see into the future, but I feel
like he's built up so much goodwill throughout the years
that how could you just let go of Vince Merrill.
I don't think he would have been let go if
Stoops were fired.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I think he would have.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Stuck around in some form. But you know at that point,
now it's over, so we don't have to talk about that.
Now it's just hypothetical. Let's take some phone calls eight
five to nine two eight h twenty two eighties having
Logan's up.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
First, Hey Logan, it's up, Logan. Hey, how you guys know?
Speaker 4 (27:05):
All?
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Right? Man?
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Good? So I think I have a solution for your
Ryan Lemon phone problem.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Oh please uh so block him?
Speaker 5 (27:15):
Get his phone? Well, that would work. To get his
phone and make sure he has RCS turned on. It
should be a settings in the messages at and if
he don't have that option, make sure he's using Google
Message at and that should put you all in a
better group.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Text rcs on in message settings is the advice, and
then you can Google it.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Okay, I'm bud about it all right. Thanks for the call, logan.
We will try it.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Cheaper cheaper than having to buy a whole new iPhone
for Ryan and watch him struggle to work the interface
for a year.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
But maybe he needs a new phone. Shant.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
I think half of the state has his phone number.
I mean, this would be a good time to start.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
He just were you know, I guess you weren't here
that week where he dropped his phone and got him.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Did you not hear that news? Oh?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
I think I did hear that, So you missed the
hole he got another Android.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
You missed the whole.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
News when Ryan fell he bumped his head on his
garbage can, which I'm still trying to figure out how
that's physically. Oh yeah, I heard that. But he got
another Android. But he got the exact same one, right,
And he's.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Only gonna upgrade or get the upgrade that they would allow,
or whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
And it can't change his number because it's all it's
on all of his business cards for his real estate business.
He's a realter. He can't just change his number. Matt
really did him dirty when that. I guess Ryan gave
him his grace. But when he put out that number
publicly and happened twice, yeah, I think it did.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Casey's up next, Hey, Casey, Hey, good morning Villas.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
So Tyler Chilterns is putting out a new album and
it's called Snipe Punter, and so I was wondering if
I know saman talked about snipe punting, but I think
it would be hilarious if we took Mario snipe punting,
because I'm sure he's never heard of it before. And
that's all I had today.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
I hope you got to have a great day.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
You go, Okay makes the call, Casey, I didn't hear
the conversation I was talking about. When I was at
Bellerman playing for you know, baseball, they would take the
freshmen out at Joe Creesan Park in the middle of
the night for snipe hunting, and from what I understood,
snipes didn't really exist. It was just a fictional bird.
But then we found out that they do exist. So
(29:21):
I guess the joke was on us all along. But
the thing that they would do, though, it was a
cruel joke. You would take the freshman out in the
Minola knight in the woods and then you would just
leave them. What they would do. They call it snipe hunting. Yeah,
never partook in that. Just for the rest. Oh you
didn't know. Well, I transferred in as a sophomore, so
(29:41):
I wasn't technically a freshman, so I think I kind
of skirted by.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
The rules a little bit. Never had to go snipe hunting.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Let's take no snipehunting in my fraternity, but we had
plenty of others.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Well, let's take one more before the break, Nancy, you're
on What's up? Nancy?
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Okay, So very disappointing about Vince.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
And I know everybody's waiting for something to stoop.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
I know the Mitch Bernhard was at a conference in
Florida because my son was there from Butler, and but
can he just go ahead and say, you know, get
on the radio and say something. I mean, do we
have to wait till Mitch's approval? So that's really all
I have.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
I'm just curious to see about stoops coming on. I
don't know the order, like the permission that he.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Has to get I would think that Stoops could come
on Kentucky Sports Radio anytime that he wanted to. Maybe
he has to get the approval for Mitch. And if
you're Mitch, I don't know what you're waiting for. At
this point is official? Thanks for the calling antsy. At
this point is official? So why not speak on it?
You know that you know people want to hear from
Mark Stoops. The longer you wait, I think the worse
it is.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Well, there's an important distinction here because, and I agree
with what Matt said the other day. You know you're
going to bring a guest on they say something like, well,
I can't talk about this, but why can't you talking
about it?
Speaker 2 (30:52):
We can't have you on it's official.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
But I agree with the sentiment that you shouldn't have
them on If they say I'm not going to talk
about the one thing you want to have him on for, like,
you're doing a disservice to your audience at that point.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
What are you gonna do though?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Are you gonna hide under the table, you know, stick
your head in the sand, or are you going to
ignore it and pretend it didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
You're going to have to speak on it eventually, so I.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Agree, But it's been a whole off season of him
saying he doesn't want to make headlines, he's afraid to
past his chest after he did for years and then
it bit him in the butt. He doesn't want to
make a headline, doesn't make the headline. First of all
events made the headline. He's just commenting on the headline.
I think we deserve a little something from him. He
should want to bring some clarity to the situation. Transparency
(31:35):
is a good thing. But I also think we're gonna
get coach speak if he were to come on right now.
This is just this is what football coaches do. They're
not going to feed into the frenzy that we want
to hear.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
But at this point, would you rather have coach speak
or would you rather have silence? Because that's what we've
gotten the entire offseason silence.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
I think Mark, if he came on and didn't talk
about it, or was just like, I don't know, tried
to avoid it and talk about other things, I think
that would do worse than him not saying.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Always think that's what Stoop's strength was. At least on KSR.
He was very open and honest when it came to anything,
You could ask him anything, you know. I don't think
that other coaches could always say that. I think, for instance,
Cali Perry, you would ask him about one thing and
he would go off and start talking about something that
has nothing to do with that. But I think that
(32:23):
Stoops has always been very good on the show when
he's made his appearances, because he was honest and open.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
And you can leave in this offseason, I mean, didn't
he just come on and in studio and after he
had his recent surgery to talk about all things Kentucky football.
I mean, he took responsibility. But this fan base has
gotten to a point where they need to see it
before they believe it again. And I happen to be
in that camp too, But you're right, you know, I
would like to see the Mark Stoops that has been
(32:51):
very open and honest with us come back and talk
about this Vince Marrow situation, because let's be honest, this
is just ratcheted up the pressure. Yeah, for this next year,
can Stoops do it without Vince? It will be his
first year at Kentucky without Vince, and so in a
pivotal year already. Now you have to do it with,
you know, your most important assistant being down the road.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Well, if this season goes as poorly as some people
are projecting, Billy, I'm gonna need a whole lot of bourbon.
I'm gonna be hitting the bourbon hard, and Silk Velvet
Whiskey is going to be right there for me. A
historic brand revived craft it back in eighteen eighty and Henderson, Kentucky,
now brought back by the Hargus family over a century later.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Hands selected single barrels.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Each bottle comes from a unique barrel personally selected by
the team for its rich character and standout flavor. This
is a premium bottle of bourbon, right, This is a
bourbon you're not going to mix with anything. So if
you're normally, you know, going to mix your bourbon with coke,
you wouldn't mix that with this. This is a high
quality bourbon we're talking about here from Silk Velvet Whiskey
(33:51):
and you can check them out at Silk Velvet Whiskey
dot com. Handpicked it by award winning master distiller Jacob
call who we actually met out there at the KSR
Golf Scramble and Lexington. Yeah, and like I said, it's
it's not your average bottle. Every sip tells a story, bold, smooth,
and unapologetically Kentucky. You won't find any gimmicks here, just
real honest bourbon from its hair and with heritage in
(34:13):
every drop, handcraft it, hand selected, and check it out
at Soak Velvet Whisky dot com.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Follow them on social media as well.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
They get linked up exactly where you can find Soak
Velvet Whiskey in a store near you.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Shannon really quickly at the KSR Scramble, I almost hit
the Silk Velvet Whiskey people with my golf ball. It
was a bad situation. Almost almost got it real bad.
There goes your chance to ever get a free bottle
from them.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
We hit them? Did you?
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Did you at least as? Did you at least yell
out a courtesy four?
Speaker 2 (34:40):
I did? I did? I am a four guy.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Even if it's going to come close, I'm screaming, but yeah,
I I about knocked him in the nogin at the
KSSR Scramble and that's how I introduced myself.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
So it was good though, great bourbon. Yeah, absolutely all right,
we're late for a break. Eight Fo'm nine two eight
twenty two eighty seven final segment. Up next, it's Shannon
the Dude and to talk to me and Billy give
a to call on the Clarks Popping Shop phone line
at eight five nine.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Sammy Kershaw's got
me on board channel. Yea, I think that would be
the one that I'd be gunn for.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
That'd be the one you and I will meet out
there for.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
Then let's do that. Let's plan on doing that. It's
amazing what you can learn on the text line. People
are telling me that John Stamos actually was the beach
Boy connection for Full House. He used to tour with
them and play gigs when their drummer was unavailable.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Ye I knew that.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
And there was also a story about Charles Manson writing
music with the Beach Boys. Did you know he wrote
a couple of songs? No, he wrote a couple of
songs with the Beach Boys that they don't think. There
was like a dispute as to who actually got the
songwriting credits. I don't know about you, Billy. If I'm
the Beach Boys, I'm like, you know what, Charles, Yeah,
if you wrote those songs, just don't murder me, you know,
like you could have the songwriting credits.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Brow just don't kill me here.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Yeah, I'm not gonna try here to push him out
of anything.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
There's no doubt of it.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
To our callers on the line, sorry, we run out
of time so I can't get to you, but call
back tomorrow. We'll have you on with us. The NBA
Finals are here. Last chance to bet on the NBA
this season, so get in with promo code KSR. If

Speaker 2 (36:10):
That is it for the KSR pre show.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
KSR is up next, live from a retirement community.
Cannot wait to show you guys the beer label like
you know, in a can with the label on it.
It looks absolutely amazing. But I do have some news
to share with you. I've got the green light on
this coming up starting in August, late August, early September.
People always ask me where can I get the beer
(00:22):
like out, you know, outside of Country Boy Brewing. Starting
in late August slash early September, you'll be able to
get it in Kroger stores all across the state of Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
So huge, huge news.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
For the expansion of the brand for the beer with
Country Boy Bring Shann the deozebrew. Then after that it
will be in liquor stores and you'll be able to
get it just out like you can you know, domestic beer,
like any other beer. It's all going to be out
there at the end of summer and then leading right
into football season. So massive, massive get and great job
by the Country Boy Brewing team. Really excited about that.
(00:58):
And I'll buy you a six pack or a four
pack whatever it comes in.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Well, thank you job.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Now.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I am a big fan of the modifications made to
the Shannon the Dude brew by a Country Boy and
maybe a little bit of a pinch me moment for
our superstar rock singer OVW Wrestler radio show hosts that
you have your own beer in Kroger. I mean, that's
that's pretty cool, shann You say that outline a.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Little spoiler alert what you said there?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
You mentioned all those things that's all going to be
incorporated into the label of the beer. Really, so yeah,
it's it's like, okay, I'm really looking forward Like the
label is kind of like a collage of things, and
as soon as I get the okay to share the label,
I'll have that out there on social media.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
So I'm really excited about it.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Just got that news literally minutes before we went on
the air, So really looking forward to to that.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Very good.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
You said you got to you just got a text
with that news, right. Yes, I have a problem regarding
text messages, Shannon. We have a problem text the text
lines down.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
No, the text line's fine five O two two six
five six six if you'd like to join the show.
But our KSR group chat is pivotal to the show,
right whether I'm in there sending the address of the
remote coming up, or maybe Matt's sending a text that says,
you know where you guys are going to be doing
the show that day, whether at the bar or in studio.
It's important to sustain communication. Well, I sent a text
(02:21):
to the KSR group chat just yesterday giving the new
address of our remote tomorrow, Shannon with the US Army.
We are going to be at five eleven Tactical, which
is an actual store in Hamburg and Lexington. That's two
three oh four, Sir Barton Way. And Mario never got
the text, Shannon se Ryan Lemons android prevented Mario from
(02:43):
ever getting the text. So Mario's like, what's the address
for tomorrow? Can you help me with this info? I'm like, dude,
I sent it five six hours ago. He sends me
a screenshot. He never got it. Ryan Lemon's android is
ruining our text conversations. Nothing new, but to see it
play out in person like that, Shannon, We've got to
do something.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I've had the same thing happen before, where you guys
are mid conversation and I'm getting like the back end
of it and I'm going like, what are you guys
talking about? Like I didn't get the initial text. That
brings up the conversation I get like, oh my god,
I'm like, OMG, what, Like what does that mean? Like
I don't even know, Like I'm getting like the fourth
text and a chain of text messages in the group
(03:25):
and it's all because of Ryan's phone. But explain to
me how that works, Like why is it that sometimes
I get the text messages but then sometimes I don't,
And sometimes it's Mario that doesn't get the text mess
Is it possible that it's actually our iPhones that are
screwing this up? Or or you're just blaming Ryan's droid?
Like why is it sometimes I get it and sometimes
I don't.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Well, that's my question because I have an iPhone and
Mario has an iPhone, So why would that communication be disrupted?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Right?
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I would think that it would be Ryan would be
the one not getting the certain text or us not
getting Ryan's text. So I don't know that answer, but
this has got to be solved, Like, you know, is
this important for us in our livelihood? But take it
up a notch, like we can't have androids and iPhone
group chats for the possibility of people not getting messages.
(04:12):
It's twenty twenty five she and that is completely unacceptable.
I guess I'm just gonna have to keep texting everybody
individually then, because right or maybe a group without Ryan
is what.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
We'll have to see.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I don't really like group text messages to begin with,
because my phone is constantly going off.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
This is it when it actually does work.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
So there's been times where I've had like you know,
the family group text and I have to actually put
it on silent. I don't tell them it's on silent,
but I got you on silent, so I'm not gonna
get those, you know, the buzz, the vibration. Every time
I get a text message, I just put you on
silent and then I look down and it says twenty
I get a little bubble that says twenty four messages
next to my my text message. You're like, whoops, now
(04:49):
I got a novel to read. That's why I hate
text messaging. Like, if you need me, just call me,
unless it is something like this where you're just you know,
sending out an address now or Vince Mara leaves and
you have detection and holy bleep, yeah, he's like yeah, what, yeah,
did you mean to send that?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Going on? What is happening now?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Speaking of sending out where we're going to be for
remote today, not you and I but KSR. And by KSR,
I mean Matt Ryan and I guess Mario is going
to be with them. They're doing this thing. They're starting
the series of in your House. I don't know what
we're calling it. I'm calling it in your House. Half
back in the day used to have a pay per
view called in your House. This is KSR in your
(05:29):
House where Last week we had callers make their their
case for why KSR should come to their house or
their place of business to do a radio show. And
last week we had I believe it was five or
six entries and we decided to take KSR to a
(05:50):
retirement home. Billy, Now I feel duped a little bit here.
Let me tell you why. When we all voted, I said,
KSR needs to go to a retirement home. That would
be awesome, you know, like a nursing home. It's you know,
a place where uplift spirits. Yeah, exactly, that is it. Exactly.
You go in there, you bring a radio show to
(06:10):
a nursing home and look as somebody personally who has
spent with my grandmother over the years a lot and
I mean a lot of time.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
In nursing homes.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
It's sad because those people ninety percent or more of
those people never get anybody to come visit them.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
They just don't. And I saw that firsthand.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I was, you know, her roommate and had people in
her family that never came to see her unless it
was a holiday or her birthday.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
So I know when we went.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Through the voting process, I said, yes, take the radio
show to the retirement home nursing home, because it would
make those people's day, maybe even weak to have a
radio show there, uplift their spirits. As you said, Billy, Well,
come to find out after the show, it's not exactly
a retirement home. It's a retirement community, which is quite
(06:59):
a bit different than a retirement home, Billy. A retirement community,
it's just where older people live in, you know, a neighborhood.
So they're kind of going to a retirement community. And
those people, I mean, they're living life. And those are
the upside down Pineapple. You know, neighborhoods. Not saying this
village is in Florida, this particular neighborhood is, but I'm
(07:19):
saying the places where you would have the upside down
Pineapple and the loofahs. It is a retirement community, probably
in Florida, the loofahs, remember the loofs, depending on what
color the loofah was. That was the nudge, nudge, wink wink.
Here's what I'm into, you know, subliminal mother. There's a
whole chart. Yeah, yeah, the whole chart exactly. So you know,
(07:40):
I don't know if I would have voted for the
retirement community had I known it was a community, not
a retirement home necessarily, Billy.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I understand your distinction, but I do believe they deserve
uplifting as much as the people in the retirement home.
Come on, they're just you know, uplifting everybody a little
bit more active. Yeah, I mentioned the villages. There are
just some stories of some retirement communities that go a
little off the rail shine and so.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
They are living their best life at that point.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
When you get to the age where you just don't care, right,
we talked about that. And then when you're at that
age with a lot of like minded individuals, then you
start riding golf carts naked shanning. You know, maybe you
decide to get the loofahs out. It's like it's just
a kind of let loose a little before I go
to a retirement home one day. So maybe we get
(08:32):
some like action today. Maybe there's a little madness. Maybe
Mario's got to go door to door in this retirement community.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
But I know they'll make it entertaining.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
They always do, and I think it's a great idea to, uh,
you know, kind of do a pop up show in
somebody's house. I would never be one of those people
shitting you're not coming over to my house.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
You'd have to see my garage. I don't even get
to come over when there's a party. I don't get invited.
We already know we're not coming to your house. We
trust me. You've already made it very clear that none
of us are welcome at the Billy R.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Sports House. I had nothing to do with you not
getting invited.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
You, on the other hand, you were invited to my party,
my derby party. Mario was invited. You guys were in Louisville,
literally just a couple of miles up the road, and
you could not be bothered to come hang out with me.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Because I told that one on Mario.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
If we remember, I was not invited to the Beck
Gala the next day in Arizona, as the guys famously
went to go play TPC Scott still without me and
Mario had to get on a flight at like five
in the morning the next day, so you know, to
take him all the way out there to Bullet County.
I didn't feel like it was doing our young sportsman
(09:42):
much good. But listen, Schannon, we were I'm excited to
come over play a little Super Nintendo with you and
all that and have a little shan in the dude brew.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Now, yesterday Matt was talking on the show about it.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It was at the end of the show.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
If you didn't hear it, he accidentally walked out.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
On a bill at a restaurant with a buddy.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
And I want to ask you, Billy, have you ever
because I don't think this is that common, walked out
on a bill in a restaurant.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Have you ever done that before?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
No, not a sit down restaurant like that, Okay, neither
of I I've just wanted to.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
See, like if it's common.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I wanted to see if walking out on a bill
is as common as a Kentucky colonel was in the state.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
We know that everybody's a Kentucky colonel.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I thought that maybe everybody had a you know, I
walked out on my bill on accident story, But I
don't have one.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
You.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I've never died and dashed either.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
You know, I've you know, thought about it, but you
know you've seen it in movies, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
But no, I've never done that.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
And you don't want to treat restaurant employees or workers
like that, right.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
So well, let me just tell you I've done it.
I didn't know. I didn't, but a buddy of mine did.
All right, we were out. It was me and like
two other guys, and both of those guys got a
little too drunk and they just up and left and
left me with the bill.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Now I have had that situation.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
To where, you know, going in, I thought everybody were
going Dutch, everybody's paying for their own bill. And then
I get there and I'm the only one.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
That's halfway sober.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
The rest of the guys get wasted, they just wander off,
and I'm stuck with the bill. That has happened. Well,
that's a heavy move by your friends. You were gonna
know you're not well. That's when you know you need
new friends, you need replacement friends. At that point maybe,
but yeah, never done that. And something did come up
with me though a couple of days ago that kind
of reminded me of this story when when Matt was
(11:28):
telling his story about accidentally walking out on a bill.
I wasn't stealing, but I felt like I was being
accused of it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Billy.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I don't know how often you go grocery shopping? Now,
do you ever go, like, does Marissa do that? Or
do you do the grocery shop? I do it pretty often.
We'll go together a lot of times. I would say
I'm at Costco or Kroger Myers two or three times
a week. Okay, all right, well two or three times
a week. Wow, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
See. I try to avoid grocery stores at all costs.
I've told you.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I get lost in them. I can't find where anything is.
It's just a stressful situation for me to have to
go grocery shopping because I can't ever find where anything is.
I know they got the you know, the signs up
ahead on each aisle sign, but it's, you know, like
it never fails, like I can't whatever I'm looking for
just so happens to not be up there, and so
I'm at Kroger a couple of days ago, though, you
(12:15):
know my once a month trip to Kroger, and you
tell me if you if they have these at your Kroger. Billy, Okay,
when I'm going through the self scanned because you know,
you you go to a grocery store. Now there's no
cash here in sight. You got to you gotta do
all the work, you know. I feel like I'm basically
an employee Kroger. I'm the cash here, I'm the bagger.
I feel like I should get paid.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Bag in the day, John Short with bag your groceries exactly.
And I don't.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I don't like the fact that they don't have cashiers anymore.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
But that's kind of the world we live in. But anyway,
I digress.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I bring this up because I am I've got like
four different things and I'm scanning them and I'm bagging
them up one by one. But then the last thing
that I get to is an air filter, you know,
like the big rectangular air filters. I scan it, but
I can't put it in the bag, you know, So
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what
(13:04):
to do with it. I just kind of scan it
and hold it in my hand and I try to
pay for it, but before I can pay for it
to go to the screen, all of a sudden, the
screen goes black and then it flashes the video like
an overhead shot of me not bagging the air filter,
and it's like it's basically instant replay for thieves, and
(13:24):
I felt like I was being called out by this automat,
automated machinery that was like, hey, this guy like Belle's
and whistles start going off and then the attendant that's
over here now has to come over, and I'm embarrassed
because my lights are blinking and it's basically like setting
off alarms, like this guy's stealing over here. I'm like,
I'm not stealing. I don't know what to do with
the air filter. It won't fit in your little Kroger bag.
(13:45):
And she's say, no, no, no, it's okay, it's okay. Then
I'm like, I'm like, well, why the uproar? Why why
are the lights blinking? And you know it's it's showing
basically me what it thinks is is stealing.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
And I didn't know have you have you had that
happen to you before?
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Yeah, it's it's it's the camera has come on on
me before. Yeah, for the items that you may put
in the car, instead of that kind of area with
the bags that senses the weight. I have had that
happen to before. I do like the thought of like
the hand gesture, let's go to the monitor. Yeah, instant
replay for thieves.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Is this guy trying to do something shady?
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Here?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
What's he doing?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I'm going, no, I can't bag the filter Like, well,
I don't know what to do, but I just like that.
You know, they're getting so sophisticated with these self scanners.
You know, they can't lose any money. God forbid, they
actually hire a cashier. You know, they're saving money that way.
Now they're trying to catch people who are I guess,
just putting items in the bag that aren't paying for it.
(14:41):
But I didn't understand what was going on because I
scanned it and then held on to it, and it
was it was calling me out and I didn't appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Well, yeah, you're you're just a casualty at this point,
you know. Unfortunately, it can be egregious at times when
people maybe scan a banana and they look like they're
scanning something else at the exact same time as they
try to scan that banana. So I understand the need
for these cameras, but like you said, God forbid, we
have a cashier that actually does the job.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
You want to pay the stealing, yeah, exactly, you want
to save money. I don't know, maybe you hire a
cash here for eight dollars an hour, and I don't
think anybody's gonna sneak one past the cashier unless they're
stuffing stuff in their pockets or down their pants.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Costco they have a person that checks your receipt where
you can leave the store, and it's probably the worst
part of the experience of Costco because there's a long
line and then you're like, are you really gonna check
off every item that I have? But they're checking things like,
you know, at the bottom of your card, if you
got the cans and everything like that. It just it
just felt like a sports moment to like where they're
(15:43):
going to the monitor, It's like, we got to review this,
make sure he's not doing anything he's supposed to.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
The toe on the line.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
We basically we basically now have aerial instant replay for
thieves at Kroger and I'm all about it.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
I think, well, you're gonna have to water once a month.
I mean I sit on there two or three times
a week. You know, there's like deli areas and place
where you can get like some chicken Shannons.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
You should check out your local Kroger. I don't feel
welcome anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I'll go back when they have Shannon the Dude's brew
at Kroger, and I will buy that at one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
But other than that, I don't know. I don't know.
I see your face on the wall of that air filter.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I kind of feel like the exactly have you seen
this man? He's stolen air filter from us. Those air
filters aren't cheap either, by the way, Well, good on
you change in the air filter. I mean, well, yeah,
who doesn't change the presence of mind to change the
air filter? You're breathing all that air. You're supposed to
change it like every couple of months. But those I
mean it's literally though.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Some springs and a piece.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Of cardboard, and it's twenty five dollars. And I'm going
there's no way that this thing should.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Cost this much.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I mean, talk about giving somebody a motivation to steal.
I mean, who would want to pay twenty five dollars
for a piece of cardboard? But you got to. But anyway,
we're going to take a break. We're late for a break.
Eight five, nine, two eighth twenty two eighty seven. My
rant of the instant replay at Kroger is over. We'll
go to the monitor, we'll get it. We'll get into
some sports and take your phone calls. Coming up next
here on the ksrprecio, it's hitting the dude and to
(17:08):
talk to me and Billy, give us a call on
the Clark's Popping Chop phone line at eight five, nine,
two to eight oho, twenty two to eighty seven, and instead,
the Pacers are now up two games to one, and
all the pressure now shifts over to being on Oklahoma
City at this point with the next game in Indiana again.
So what do you think do the Pacers have a
chance to actually win this series?
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Billy, Oh, they got more than a chance, Channing, I mean,
I think America's falling in love a little bit with
the Pacers as the lovable underdog. Halliburton hitting these last
minute shots, his dad finally being back in the building
and wearing those crazy jeans he had on last night,
even like TJ McConnell going nuclear last they had forty
nine bench points.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I mean, that is a whole team effort.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
As much as I want to see Shay have success
and finish off this MVP season, man, it's it's been
a lot of fun watching the Pacers battle back every
time that they get punched.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, I'm with you. I mean, washing Shay is a
lot of fun. He's amazing. But I'm team Pacers right now.
I want to see the Pacers pull it off. I
thought thunder and six Now I don't know. I mean
it's still very well could be. Maybe Oklahoma City comes
out and wins. The rest of the wins three in
a row and this thing's over but looking good right
now for the Pacers. And you can bet on it

(19:05):
You got Kentucky and North Carolina. No rule shocker there.
I mean, I think that that's the team that we
would expect to play since we already have Duke on
the schedule for next year. Right, Duke on the schedule?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I think? So am I wrong about that?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I thought that it was Michigan State at the Champions
Classic this year. Okay, so there was a thought that
maybe Duke could come to Upperna for this child.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Oh, you're right, you're right, You're right, yep.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Uh, But you know, I think North Carolina's probably the
next best choice. So two years into this acc SEC challenge, uh,
and you've taken on Miami and Clemson, and I think
that's been a little bit of a dud, even though
Clemson got the best to you last year. But you know,
Mark Pope went on that rant where he said, you
do you know we're Kentucky basketball. We want to beat
(19:49):
the best of the best. We want the best players,
you want to pay the most for the players, and
playing a brand like North Carolina goes I think a
long way for the fan base, don't you think.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Oh yeah, for sure, I've been thinking back, you know,
the great games against North Carolina throughout the years. Of
course you think of Tayshawn Prince going on Anthony Davis,
even the game. It wasn't a great game, but Kentucky
blew out in North Carolina? Was it back in twenty
one we were in that game? Yeah, well there was
Vegas twice. It was Vegas with Monk when he went
(20:20):
off and had one of the greatest games I've ever seen.
And then we also got the game in twenty one
which was they replaced somebody.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
I forget who it was.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Kentucky was supposed to play out in Vegas, North Carolina?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Was it Ohio stage? Yeah, I think it was.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
We ended up playing North Carolina won by like thirty points.
That was like the savier wheeler. Wheeler just went off. Yeah,
they could not stop him. I think that was also.
I might be wrong about this, but I think that
might also be the game where Dante Allen like refused
to go in you remember that.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
I don't remember that. I do remember Max stuff. He
was on that trip with you guys, right.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
And I think Ryan had to leave early the time
we go on one of these trips, like all hell
breaks loose and somebody ends up having to fly home
two or three days before the show is over.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
But well, and in twenty one, you weren't doing a
lot of traveling before that. So you guys are getting
out and about, right, you know, kind of doing all that.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
But I remember you guys were in the car and
then the game got that's right, and so yeah we
found out. Yeah, we're like, what if we just drove
all the way to Vegas and like they don't play
a game, Well, that would be KA the Ultimate KSR Curse, right,
And then I think later on that night at the concert,
they invited the family to come up and sing kocobo,
(21:36):
you know all stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
That's very believable. What a bizarre episode of If.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
KSR can show up at your house, the Beach Boys
can show up at your house, right, that's it.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
That is a great tie up, a great transition there
to tie it back to the show.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
So the rust in P's Brian Wilson, legendary singer and yeah,
just iconic music if you're if you're into the surfer rock.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
We have a little breaking news at this point.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Okay, I don't have a breaking news button for That's fine,
That's fine, fine. But Pete Thamil has put out a
new tweet regarding Vince Marrow. He says Vince Marrow's move
from Kentucky to Louisville is official, as he signed a
three year deal. His formal title at Louisville will be
Executive Director of Player Personnel in Recruiting.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
In a statement to ESPN, Morrow said, it hurts, It
really hurts, and he.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Mentioned on the South everything I've read because people have asked,
is that like a big bump in salary or what's
his main motivation for leaving Kentucky?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
From what I read was it was sort of a
lateral move in salary. Maybe just a better situation behind
the scenes. That's all I could read into it. Yeah,
he released a statement. Vince Marrow has released a statement.
I'm not going to read the entire thing. He talks
about lifelong friendships. He thanks the University of Kentucky and
Mark Stoops. No mention of a salary by Pete Thamil
(22:54):
or anybody at this point, but Vince has made a statement,
so I guess that does make it official. He will
be moving to Louisville to become the executive director of
Player Personnel and Recruiting. I was kind of hoping in
that period between when it was announced and well just
then when you said that was official, maybe there was
a slight chance he could go back to Kentucky. But then,
(23:15):
if you're Kentucky, you probably would say, you know what,
just go on at this point.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Well, that was probably one of the more bizarre moments
of the cow stuff was when he kind of got
the cold feet and asked Mitch, you know, would there
be any chance of a return. At that point, he
had already spoken to Arkansas officials avoiding the buyout, and
so you know, Mitch was like, no, we're going to
go our own way. But I'd be tough seeing him
come back after all this news. Kind of like how
(23:40):
it was tough to see Stoops come back after all
the Texas A and m Let's say, like you think
these guys love the teams that they coach for, It's
a different kind of love.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
You know, it's a business to them. That's the things there.
We see that.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, And I kind of made that point on KSR yesterday.
It's different when you grow up here or like in
Mark Pope situation, you played here. You know, even though
Pope's not a Kentucky and you know, wasn't born and
raised in Kentucky and he played here, he won a
national talker.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
He knows the culture, right.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
So I think it's a lot different for coaches who
either grew up in the state or played at the
state and came back to coach here versus guys who
just come in from other states and you know you're here.
You know, Matt drew the comparison if he went to
Illinois Sports Radio, he would go there. He would still
try to do the best that he could at that
job and make make it successful, but doesn't mean as
(24:35):
much as it would Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
It's a business at that point, and even though we
hate to see it happen, we hate to see Vince leave,
especially when you go straight to your biggest rival. It's
a tough pill to swallow, but it is reality and
at this point we just have to deal with it.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Kind of that that would be great on Illinois Sports Radio.
But would he have the same passion, right? Would he
know the history the same way like he does Kentucky,
which he grew up you know, watching and loving. So
it's a there's definitely some truth to that, I'm sure,
and that is that has led to lanes like KSR
becoming popular, right because people want to hear more of
that passion. They want to talk with like minded individuals. So,
(25:15):
you know, that is just what our society has become
to a degree. But Vince going off to Louisville, I
guess that means Mark can now speak on it right
now that it's official.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Sure, So I guess that's that's a point that I
would like. I think that.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Stoop should be on Kentucky Sports ready today today would
be great again, you don't want to wait until your
next speaking engagement that's scheduled, which I believe is July
seventeenth at SEC Media Days. At that point we're already
gonna If he waits that long, you might as well
not even talk.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
About it at that bo from Vince.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Ultimately, my goal at the University of Louisville is to
win a national championship. I am very confident that we
can accomplish that goal, and I can't wait to get started.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
What if it happens, what events goes to louisll and
they win a national title, I guess, you know, to
be fair, he would have a much better chance of
doing it at Louisville than at Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Yeah, Like, career move wise, I understand why Vince Marrow
did this, even being one of two people in the
state that wished him luck this past week. I understand
why he made the career move right because he might
have a career two or three years later after Louisville too.
I mean, and if Mark Stoops were to get fired
after this next year, maybe people view Vince Marrow as
(26:24):
just Mark Stoops's recruiting guy. Now he can kind of
evolve from that, But as we've tointed out, it's the
fact he's.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Going to Louisville that brought so many people there.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Now, I felt like Vince could have had a career
at Kentucky for as long as he wanted to.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Maybe I'm wrong about that. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Again, I can't see into the future, but I feel
like he's built up so much goodwill throughout the years
that how could you just let go of Vince Merrill.
I don't think he would have been let go if
Stoops were fired.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I think he would have.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Stuck around in some form. But you know at that point,
now it's over, so we don't have to talk about that.
Now it's just hypothetical. Let's take some phone calls eight
five to nine two eight h twenty two eighties having
Logan's up.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
First, Hey Logan, it's up, Logan. Hey, how you guys know?
Speaker 4 (27:05):
All?
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Right? Man?
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Good? So I think I have a solution for your
Ryan Lemon phone problem.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Oh please uh so block him?
Speaker 5 (27:15):
Get his phone? Well, that would work. To get his
phone and make sure he has RCS turned on. It
should be a settings in the messages at and if
he don't have that option, make sure he's using Google
Message at and that should put you all in a
better group.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Text rcs on in message settings is the advice, and
then you can Google it.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Okay, I'm bud about it all right. Thanks for the call, logan.
We will try it.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Cheaper cheaper than having to buy a whole new iPhone
for Ryan and watch him struggle to work the interface
for a year.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
But maybe he needs a new phone. Shant.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
I think half of the state has his phone number.
I mean, this would be a good time to start.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
He just were you know, I guess you weren't here
that week where he dropped his phone and got him.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Did you not hear that news? Oh?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
I think I did hear that, So you missed the
hole he got another Android.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
You missed the whole.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
News when Ryan fell he bumped his head on his
garbage can, which I'm still trying to figure out how
that's physically. Oh yeah, I heard that. But he got
another Android. But he got the exact same one, right,
And he's.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Only gonna upgrade or get the upgrade that they would allow,
or whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
And it can't change his number because it's all it's
on all of his business cards for his real estate business.
He's a realter. He can't just change his number. Matt
really did him dirty when that. I guess Ryan gave
him his grace. But when he put out that number
publicly and happened twice, yeah, I think it did.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Casey's up next, Hey, Casey, Hey, good morning Villas.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
So Tyler Chilterns is putting out a new album and
it's called Snipe Punter, and so I was wondering if
I know saman talked about snipe punting, but I think
it would be hilarious if we took Mario snipe punting,
because I'm sure he's never heard of it before. And
that's all I had today.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
I hope you got to have a great day.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
You go, Okay makes the call, Casey, I didn't hear
the conversation I was talking about. When I was at
Bellerman playing for you know, baseball, they would take the
freshmen out at Joe Creesan Park in the middle of
the night for snipe hunting, and from what I understood,
snipes didn't really exist. It was just a fictional bird.
But then we found out that they do exist. So
(29:21):
I guess the joke was on us all along. But
the thing that they would do, though, it was a
cruel joke. You would take the freshman out in the
Minola knight in the woods and then you would just
leave them. What they would do. They call it snipe hunting. Yeah,
never partook in that. Just for the rest. Oh you
didn't know. Well, I transferred in as a sophomore, so
(29:41):
I wasn't technically a freshman, so I think I kind
of skirted by.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
The rules a little bit. Never had to go snipe hunting.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Let's take no snipehunting in my fraternity, but we had
plenty of others.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Well, let's take one more before the break, Nancy, you're
on What's up? Nancy?
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Okay, So very disappointing about Vince.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
And I know everybody's waiting for something to stoop.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
I know the Mitch Bernhard was at a conference in
Florida because my son was there from Butler, and but
can he just go ahead and say, you know, get
on the radio and say something. I mean, do we
have to wait till Mitch's approval? So that's really all
I have.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
I'm just curious to see about stoops coming on. I
don't know the order, like the permission that he.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Has to get I would think that Stoops could come
on Kentucky Sports Radio anytime that he wanted to. Maybe
he has to get the approval for Mitch. And if
you're Mitch, I don't know what you're waiting for. At
this point is official? Thanks for the calling antsy. At
this point is official? So why not speak on it?
You know that you know people want to hear from
Mark Stoops. The longer you wait, I think the worse
it is.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Well, there's an important distinction here because, and I agree
with what Matt said the other day. You know you're
going to bring a guest on they say something like, well,
I can't talk about this, but why can't you talking
about it?
Speaker 2 (30:52):
We can't have you on it's official.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
But I agree with the sentiment that you shouldn't have
them on If they say I'm not going to talk
about the one thing you want to have him on for, like,
you're doing a disservice to your audience at that point.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
What are you gonna do though?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Are you gonna hide under the table, you know, stick
your head in the sand, or are you going to
ignore it and pretend it didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
You're going to have to speak on it eventually, so I.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Agree, But it's been a whole off season of him
saying he doesn't want to make headlines, he's afraid to
past his chest after he did for years and then
it bit him in the butt. He doesn't want to
make a headline, doesn't make the headline. First of all
events made the headline. He's just commenting on the headline.
I think we deserve a little something from him. He
should want to bring some clarity to the situation. Transparency
(31:35):
is a good thing. But I also think we're gonna
get coach speak if he were to come on right now.
This is just this is what football coaches do. They're
not going to feed into the frenzy that we want
to hear.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
But at this point, would you rather have coach speak
or would you rather have silence? Because that's what we've
gotten the entire offseason silence.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
I think Mark, if he came on and didn't talk
about it, or was just like, I don't know, tried
to avoid it and talk about other things, I think
that would do worse than him not saying.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Always think that's what Stoop's strength was. At least on KSR.
He was very open and honest when it came to anything,
You could ask him anything, you know. I don't think
that other coaches could always say that. I think, for instance,
Cali Perry, you would ask him about one thing and
he would go off and start talking about something that
has nothing to do with that. But I think that
(32:23):
Stoops has always been very good on the show when
he's made his appearances, because he was honest and open.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
And you can leave in this offseason, I mean, didn't
he just come on and in studio and after he
had his recent surgery to talk about all things Kentucky football.
I mean, he took responsibility. But this fan base has
gotten to a point where they need to see it
before they believe it again. And I happen to be
in that camp too, But you're right, you know, I
would like to see the Mark Stoops that has been
(32:51):
very open and honest with us come back and talk
about this Vince Marrow situation, because let's be honest, this
is just ratcheted up the pressure. Yeah, for this next year,
can Stoops do it without Vince? It will be his
first year at Kentucky without Vince, and so in a
pivotal year already. Now you have to do it with,
you know, your most important assistant being down the road.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Well, if this season goes as poorly as some people
are projecting, Billy, I'm gonna need a whole lot of bourbon.
I'm gonna be hitting the bourbon hard, and Silk Velvet
Whiskey is going to be right there for me. A
historic brand revived craft it back in eighteen eighty and Henderson, Kentucky,
now brought back by the Hargus family over a century later.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Hands selected single barrels.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Each bottle comes from a unique barrel personally selected by
the team for its rich character and standout flavor. This
is a premium bottle of bourbon, right, This is a
bourbon you're not going to mix with anything. So if
you're normally, you know, going to mix your bourbon with coke,
you wouldn't mix that with this. This is a high
quality bourbon we're talking about here from Silk Velvet Whiskey
(33:51):
and you can check them out at Silk Velvet Whiskey
dot com. Handpicked it by award winning master distiller Jacob
call who we actually met out there at the KSR
Golf Scramble and Lexington. Yeah, and like I said, it's
it's not your average bottle. Every sip tells a story, bold, smooth,
and unapologetically Kentucky. You won't find any gimmicks here, just
real honest bourbon from its hair and with heritage in
(34:13):
every drop, handcraft it, hand selected, and check it out
at Soak Velvet Whisky dot com.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Follow them on social media as well.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
They get linked up exactly where you can find Soak
Velvet Whiskey in a store near you.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Shannon really quickly at the KSR Scramble, I almost hit
the Silk Velvet Whiskey people with my golf ball. It
was a bad situation. Almost almost got it real bad.
There goes your chance to ever get a free bottle
from them.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
We hit them? Did you?
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Did you at least as? Did you at least yell
out a courtesy four?
Speaker 2 (34:40):
I did? I did? I am a four guy.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Even if it's going to come close, I'm screaming, but yeah,
I I about knocked him in the nogin at the
KSSR Scramble and that's how I introduced myself.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
So it was good though, great bourbon. Yeah, absolutely all right,
we're late for a break. Eight Fo'm nine two eight
twenty two eighty seven final segment. Up next, it's Shannon
the Dude and to talk to me and Billy give
a to call on the Clarks Popping Shop phone line
at eight five nine.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Sammy Kershaw's got
me on board channel. Yea, I think that would be
the one that I'd be gunn for.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
That'd be the one you and I will meet out
there for.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
Then let's do that. Let's plan on doing that. It's
amazing what you can learn on the text line. People
are telling me that John Stamos actually was the beach
Boy connection for Full House. He used to tour with
them and play gigs when their drummer was unavailable.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Ye I knew that.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
And there was also a story about Charles Manson writing
music with the Beach Boys. Did you know he wrote
a couple of songs? No, he wrote a couple of
songs with the Beach Boys that they don't think. There
was like a dispute as to who actually got the
songwriting credits. I don't know about you, Billy. If I'm
the Beach Boys, I'm like, you know what, Charles, Yeah,
if you wrote those songs, just don't murder me, you know,
like you could have the songwriting credits.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Brow just don't kill me here.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Yeah, I'm not gonna try here to push him out
of anything.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
There's no doubt of it.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
To our callers on the line, sorry, we run out
of time so I can't get to you, but call
back tomorrow. We'll have you on with us. The NBA
Finals are here. Last chance to bet on the NBA
