Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR Pre Show.

a Friday. Uh, it's Billy Rutligon Shannon the Dude. Give
us call on the Clark's Pumping Shot phone line. It's
a five nine two eight h two two eight seven,
Texas at five O two two sixty five sixty six
five six And as always, the KASR Pre Show is

(00:20):
brought to you by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington
at the City Center on Main Street. We are in
Lexington today, but we are in Hamburg, my neck of
the Woods, at five eleven Tactical, celebrating the US Army's
two hundred and fiftieth birthday this weekend. Shannon the Dude
is alongside with me. What's up, dude, how are you hey?

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Doing well? Doing well and happy to be here with
the US Army. We were just checking out some of
their weapons from World War Two. It's basically brass nucks
with a big knife like attached to it. Could you
imagine having a fight hand to hand combat like that?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
No, that is just it's scary. No, yeah, it absolutely is.
Them showing off some gear this morning We've got like
a hum v or a jeep parked out here in
the parking lot that the fans can check out. We'll
be giving away this weighted vest as well throughout the show.
So a lot of great things happening as we celebrate
the Army's two hundred and fiftieth birthday. June fourteenth, seventeen

(01:16):
seventy five, the US Army was founded, making it the
oldest branch of the US military. Shannon, my grandfather was
in the US Army. My dad was in the US Army,
and I host the ksrpre show one hour a day.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Look at you. What a trooper you are.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Now you could say I'm serving my country in a
different way. But obviously the Army takes a little something
that not everybody has, right Shannon, Maybe a little bit
more disciplined. Yeah, maybe it's not a cut out for everybody.
It can but can lead to a rewarding career. There's
no doubt.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
As a former coach used to say, this isn't for everybody.
The US Army, I don't think is for everybody. I
could not do it like I have so much respect
for those men and women who have served and who
are a.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Part of the Army.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
I just I could tell you I could not do it.
I can't imagine having to go fight, you know, shooting,
and so it's.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Not like the making your bed at five am that
morning or the basic train.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
I think I could get through that, but if you
sent me over to war, I don't think i'd be
cut out for it.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Well, the US Army is not only about combat. There's
a lot of different ways that you can serve your
country and some of the benefits of joining the Army
include full college tuition, their scholarships like the r TC.
When it comes to healthcare, you can get full medical, dental, vision,
and life insurance even for family members. So the benefits
go very long. Even after you stop serving with the
choice Army.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Then you can go to go army dot com, or
you can stop buy a local station and they've got those.
Let's see the local Army recruiting station here in Lexington,
and that is at one twelve Mount Taper Road, So
go on by there and walk.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
INDs are welcome. A little later in the show, we'll
be speaking with Sergeant Adams, who is gonna tell us
a little bit more about the Army. Shannon, we were
talking to him a little bit before the show even started,
And man, it's cut from a different cloth, you know,
I mean, like it's it's definitely, like I said, a
job not for everybody, but the people that do. I
bet you have a lot of pride in the oh
absolutely that they do. Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Now do you think you can make it through basic training?
You thought about this?

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah, and no, Like I think I don't think Billy
our sports would make it. Uh if he wasn't able
to look at his phone and his have his TikTok
time Shannon, or uh, you don't do what he wants
to do. I mean, I'm sure that's something I've not
cut out for.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah, that's a form of discipline that neither one of
us have exactly exactly. But let's go back to like
maybe when you were eighteen yeaheen. You still don't think
you could do it.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Physically, yes, but I also think there's a mental side
to it. Like you see the drill sergeants at these
basic trainings. Maybe Sergeant Adams canna tell us more about
that later, but like they are in your face and
you better not have any hurt feelings, right, Like you've
got to get you've got to learn to get over
that to become a weapon for.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Your count I think like everything's full metal jacket, right, Yeah,
that's the entire envision.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
That's the extreme, there's no doubt. But happy to be
here today and we'll continue to talk a lot about it.
It's also Father's Day weekend, Sunday will be a chance
for us to honor our dads. And Shannon, you are
a TV guy, a Full House guy, not a dad,
not a dad. But Danny Tanner, right, the Bob Saget
character from Full House, I'm sure played a big pivotal

(04:11):
role in your life. So I want to ask you
who are some of the best TV dads in history?

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Well, you mentioned one there, Danny Tanner on Full House,
Carl Winslow and Family Matters. It would definitely be one
of my favorites. Those were the two main shows that
I watched as a kid. Do you have any others?

Speaker 1 (04:28):
I have a list. I just was curious on what
first came to mind for you.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Andy Griffith, and he was always teaching Opie a life
lesson in the Andy Griffith Show. You know, Opie would
screw up and Andy would have to sit him down
and have a conversation with him and teach him what's
right and wrong in life.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Not a dad. But my first answer is Uncle Phil
from The Fresh Prince of bel Air. He took that over,
that father figure and is one of the first ones
I think of. I even think of Home improvement. Tim
the Toolman Taylor, Yeah, I mean he had some great
father moments on that show Red Foreman from that seventies show,
Good One. Were you ever in the that seventies show?

Speaker 2 (05:02):
No, never really started watching that. Didn't they have a
That's eighties show? I think I think they tried. Yeah,
I think they tried. I never really got into that.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
We could go animated. Homer Simpson, Hank Hill, Bob Belcher,
Peter Griffin. I don't know if you call them good dads, No,
would you?

Speaker 3 (05:16):
No? I don't think Homer Simpson is a role model
for dad's.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Oh maybe Bob from Bob's Burgers would be a little
bit better at that, but I'm not gonna say. Peter
Griffin is on the Mount Rushmore of dads. George Lopez
could put you to sleep back in the day. Okay,
he was a great TV dad that one. Uh you said,
Carl Winslow, Danny Taylor, Frank Costanza on Seinfeld. You may
not be a Seinfeld guy, but a.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Lot of shows that I have not watched.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Your naming here, well, I mean, Shannon, I guess you
were just so locked in on Full House. That's it.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
I commit it to two shows.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Phil from Modern Family was on the list. How about
Dan from Roseanne?

Speaker 3 (05:49):
John Goodman, John Goodman, that's right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
You watched that one back in the day at all.
I mean not not not really. You didn't put on
you didn't put on Roseanne. Now watch it. If we
could briefly cross over to movies for a second, I
put down Liam Neeson as a good dad. Mean, yeah,
you know, why is Liam Neeson on?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Like he's in every action movie, Like if there's a
bomb on a subway or a plane or a train,
Liam Neeson. Oh he's a star, he's a movie But
he only plays in those type of movies.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, he's type cast to where he's only that guy
in that type of movie.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Well, we were talking about Seinfeld, I'd say many people
from Seinfelder are type casting like that. And then I
wanted to mention that not the dad of the Red
Sox player who said he played for the Yankees. Who
the guy is getting a lot of crap right now.
I mean, we talked about that yesterday.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
RKSR.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah. So I'm sure a lot of dads in Bellish
when they talk to their sons or daughters, but not
all the time that son eventually becomes a major League
baseball player and then talks about those stories that you
shared it. And as it turned out, the dad of
the Red Sox player didn't play for the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
But again, though we said this on the show yesterday,
I'll say it again. I feel like that's something that's
easily verifiable, right, you can look that up. It's not
he played in the nineteen twenties when we didn't have
the internet or like, you know, clips to go back
and watch.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
This was nineteen ninety six. Oh that's fair.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
So if my dad said he played for the Yankees
in nineteen ninety six, I'm gonna go back. I'm gonna
probably get on YouTube and try to find some old
clips of my dad playing for the Yankees. The Red
Sox player, what was the name of the player? I
don't even h I know, yeah, he didn't even you know,
bother to go back and verify that dad was telling
the truth. No, I guess you just could assume that
your dad is telling the truth.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
But oh, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Again, if your dad played for the Yankees, it's not
your dad was a you know, just a regular job
type guy. He was the player for the Yankees. He
wasn't a pipewelder's. Yeah, there wasn't like no disrespect.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
No, but there's no video for the pipewelder job right
like nineteen ninety six. You could go watch a whole
game a dad playing for the Yankees if that was true,
and especially if you're following in his footsteps with the
same career. So a little odd. But again, if you've
got any dads you'd like to join the list. Texas
five h two two sixty five six six five six. Now,
the story when it comes to this show and many

(07:59):
Canentucky shows this past week has been Vince Merrill leaving
for the University of Louisville. That was made official yesterday
and after the show, we got comments from Vince, We've
got comments from Stoops and Vince made an appearance on
a radio show this morning, Shannon Oh okay, And I
got a couple quotes, maybe one that even might make.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
You a little mad.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Well, do you have them ready to go?

Speaker 3 (08:20):
I do.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
I got to tell you, I got a picture from
the the Alice Bluegown group text that maybe Vince was
already busy up in Columbus, Ohio yesterday, already getting.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
To work doing some recruiting. There's a picture from yesterday.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, big dogs already we call him now.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
He's not pick dog anymore. He's a little Chihuahua. It's
little chihaha. Marsha's here, by the way, And you know
Marsha how she feels about Rick Patino. And she even said,
at least Rick went to the Celtics before he went
to Louisville. So I think if you're saying who was
the biggest offender of turning their back on Kentucky, who
was a bigger villain? Rick Patino here and Vince Marrow

(08:58):
way up here. I don't know Rick was the head man.
I mean, Vince is just an assistant.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
He's the head recruiter.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
True, But Marsha, what if Vince goes to Louisville and
pulls a Kenny Payne? You know, I mean maybe it's
it makes Louisville a little worse. Marsha's distruction. She is
you mentioned Rick Patino and she just gets a little distraught.
But Vince joined the Drew Diner Show this morning. Nick
Rausch was doing some reporting and this is where I
found the quote. He said Vince was thrown a little
shade quote. Sometimes I didn't have that much to sell,

(09:26):
and I brought in a bunch of four stars. This
is going to be an easy sell.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Wow, that is a double slap in the face. Sometimes
there wasn't that much to sell. I mean, you're talking
about Kentucky in the SEC, the most competitive conference in
all of college football, and you're telling us that there
wasn't much to sell at Kentucky.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Does that feel like a gut punch?

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
If that weren't bad enough to go straight from Kentucky
to Louisville to come go on another show, a Louisill
show and say that there wasn't that much to sell.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
I get he's with the rival. I was hoping he
wasn't going to disparish saying there's a lot to sell
here at Louisville.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
Man, that feels like a fever. It doesn't it, it.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Does, it does more on it. He said, quote one
thing about he's right, you got it right, moron, ring
the bell, if I had it. One thing about me
once that contract was signed. It's war. We're going to
be in some battles. And I know that. And I
guess we already found out as he's in Ohio doing
a little cruting. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Wow, man, he didn't waste any time either, did he. No,
he didn't.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
This is a big gef for Loisville. Like, I'm not
going to downplay Vince's importance to the football team. I mean,
he was very important. If he was important last week
and we were talking about how great of a job
he had done at Kentucky, I'm not gonna come on
here this week just because he's now at Louisville and
act like he wasn't important to the staff. Sure, and
to the success that they have had. Sure, last year, Okay,
four and eight, I get it. And this year maybe

(10:47):
four and eight, maybe even worse than that, I'm not sure.
But you know, again, I think it's the long term
effect of what this is going to have on Kentucky
losing their recruiter in Vince maryl.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
But we've talked about how the landscapes changed, right, and
it may not be as important to get a three
star from Ohio anymore than it is to have the
money that Vince Merrill was making to pay athletes in
the transfer portal. But you know, nevertheless, it is an
interesting story. And we mentioned Nick Roush Adam Luckett. They
do a great job on the eleven personnel. They brought
it up an interesting point about Eddie Grant. I mean,

(11:19):
he was a fired offensive coordinator and now he looks
to be the person making a lot of these decisions
when it.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Comes to recruiting.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
This what you never know, because uh, you know Stoops
brought back Wolford after he left and it went to Bama,
and then you bring back Eddie Grant.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Andy Gran sticks around. Now he's got a prominence.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
I think somebody asked, you know, is there ever a
chance that Vince Merrill were to come back to Kentucky.
You never say never. But I don't know that the
Stoops is gonna be here for three more years. You know,
we were talking about that on KSR a couple of
days ago. How long do you think Stoops will be here?
I think he'll be back next year, maybe the next.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Year, So you would say that there on two and
a half and then yeah, but you'd say the over
on one and a half.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yes, I think it's possible. Now, A lot of people
think that Stoops has done after this year if he
doesn't win seven games, and that's gonna be a really
tough task. I think, you know, I think this year,
Kentucky probably wins five and I think that's just enough
for him to keep his job for one more year.
And I don't know that far into the future what
it's gonna look like with Kentucky's roster two years from now.

(12:19):
But let's just say that he's able to hang on
for another two three years. I don't know that it
goes beyond that if you don't have some some success,
and by success I mean back to that eight to
nine ten win season, and that's gonna be very tough
to achieve.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Do you agree with Shannon? Give us call this morning
eight five nine two eight h two two eight seven.
I got a little distracted because they it looks like
they pulled out the deadlift thing over there. Oh see that?

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, we got a cornhole board. We gotta are those
kettlebells and then deadlifts over here are those folam weights?
They better be if you want me to get that
deadlift thing off off the ground.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
What you know, I always see when you go to
like to a US Army like display pull up bar.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Then I always had the pull up bar. Yeah, so
I can knock out some pull up. You could at
it like maybe like eight.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
All right, and you already felt at the push up
contest that we have failed.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
I did forty consecutive push ups in front of a
crowd of hundreds of people at that dog.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, but I did like fifty, So that's not quite
well you did. I meant, you know what closed? I mean,
wasn't not close. It wasn't that.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
That was our first remote, I think if you remember,
I was the KSR pre show and I was like,
I've got to challenge him to a push up content.
Let the old man out push. Well, that is certainly true,
old man, and that you did out push it me.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
I'm in better shape now though than I was then.
I'm just saying we both aren't.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
I mean, that's the thing. Okay, we'd probably get into
the sixties. There's no I don't know about that.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
I don't know, I may get one or two more
than what I did last what three four years ago?

Speaker 1 (13:39):
All right, so we'll talk a little bit more about
the upcoming Father's Day weekend and some things going on.
Of course, we've got Murray State playing in the College
World Series on Saturday. Some excitement for that. And again
Sergeant Adams is going to join us on the back
half of the show to talk to us, talk to
us more about the US Army. It's Shannon the Dude
and Billy Rutligh live here in Hamburg here on the
KASR pre Show. All right, welcome back. It is the

(14:02):
KSR pre Show live on a Friday. You're at five
eleven tacticals celebrating the US Army. Uh two eight h
two two eight seven. A couple more dads, Shannon. One
person said Al Bundy from Married with That's a good one. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
And then you know, I can't believe I didn't mention
the dad in alf Willie Tanner. What was it with
everybody's last name being Tanner? You had full House where
the Tanners and then the Owl family is Tanner. Well,
if it works, I think you just keep rolling with it. Uh,
Fred Sandford from Sandford.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
That's goodn't And uh, if we were going into movies,
Clark Griswold has to be the old Ah, that's right,
doesn't it? Absolutely? Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
So I'm just thinking, you know, if you were going
to be in the military, which branch would you go to.
Would it be the Army, Would it be the Marines?

Speaker 1 (14:49):
That's a great question. It would not be. It would
not be the air neither. Like you know, you're not
getting me in the air like that. I'm not parachuting
at a plane nowhere, I mean, and you may even
do that in other branches of the military.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
See, I think if I had to pick, it would
be the Army.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
I think so too, because the Navy, you know, I
can swim, Shannon, but you asked me to tread water
for a long time and they maybe weed me out
of there too. So yeah, it would definitely not be
the Marine. So I think I would be joining the army.
But of course, you know, army is not all about combat.
We were talking to Sergeant Adams during the break, and
you know, basic training is just initiation, right, and then
after that you go into a specific career.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Well, you were saying that you could handle the physical
part of it, but you couldn't handle the mental part
of it being screamed at.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, you don't think you could.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
You think they would break you down or you couldn't
function or what what you know?

Speaker 1 (15:33):
I get screamed at to a degree every day already.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
So yeah, I was going to say, I think you
already have a little bit of experience, so maybe I
could handle a drill sergeant.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
But I don't know, Shannon. I think i'd be more
likely to leave due to, you know, something like that,
instead of like could you complete this mile run or
the amount of push ups you could do.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
I went back and watched because we were talking about
this for whatever reason a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Like how they did the draft back in the day.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Oh yeah, it was just it was just broad on TV,
like on the news, and if your birthday came up
and you were within like you know, they did like
a random draft. Yeah, hence the draft, right, but it
was broadcasted though. Could you imagine the nerves of sitting
at home wondering if you're gonna be drafted based on
if your birthday comes up next?

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Yeah, and like look, I mean it is such a
point of pride to serve the military and protect your country. Right,
But if you've got plans to do something else and
then you're drafted, your your whole life changes. There's no
there's no doubt about it. And so yeah, just imagine
watching that show.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Yeah, the nerves just go to the bar.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
But this was way back, like what sixty years I
was nervous just watching it. Yeah, and turns out I
would have been drafted for birthday. Yeah, it was like
the top. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
I gotta go back and see if my birthday was
shown up, just to see, uh, just to see. But yeah,
like I said, Gray, my grandfather and my dad serving.
So thank you to all that serve. And we celebrate
the US Army this weekend. All this also this weekend,
we've got some good sporting events coming up. Tonight is
Game four of the NBA Finals. Okay, see in Indiana.
Indiana now has a two to one series edge after

(17:05):
the win in Indiana, Uh, just a couple of days ago.
They will play in Indiana tonight, I believe it is.
And uh, only one team has come back from going
down three to one in the NBA Finals, So OKAC
has got to win this game. Uh, twenty sixteen Cavaliers.
If you're looking for that answer with Lebron.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
James, all of a sudden the pressure is shifted on
to OKC And here's Indiana with a great chance with
a with another game at home, and then you know,
if they do go up three to one, you got
another game that you're gonna be playing at home. So
it's you know, it goes one one one after that,
great chance for Indiana to really pla is it?

Speaker 4 (17:37):
Man?

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Put push down the gas and take a commanding lead,
and I hope that what happens. I'm pulling for Indiana.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
When it comes to other sports this weekend, the College
World Series starts today along with Rocos jell O Shot
Challenge in Omaha. I saw Murray State had an early lead,
but I bet you know they might get passed. I
don't think the fan base is as big as maybe
some of the others down here in the College World Series.
And I say that because Murray State has an eight
hundred seat stadium, and we've talked about all these you know,

(18:45):
notes about the Murray State baseball program. But just this
run has been incredible, and like Matt said yesterday, even
if it wasn't a team from the state of Kentucky,
this would be a great sports story.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
How about Dan Skirka getting two appearances, not one, but
two on Kentucky Sports Radio and to talk to the
entire state and beyond with KSR. Now you say that
murray doesn't have a whole lot of fans as compared
to the other team, sure, which is true, but you
got to keep in mind that they're going to be
the darling of the World Series. And what I mean
by that is all the other teams, if you're not

(19:15):
playing Murray State, other fans there are there are going
to be pulling for the underdogs.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
So I think in some ways Murray State may have
more fans than anybody when it comes to.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
This, and the most one of the most fun parts
of Kentucky's run last year was I think Kentucky became
that team. I think a lot of people embraced them.
Kentucky had that walk off win in their first game,
and so I think they did have a lot of
support of the people down there, and hopefully Murray State
has it. But uh finally dispelled the rumor of coach
mowing his own grass.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah, I saw that. I saw that on like a
TikTok video yesterday. It was talking about Murray State baseball
and how their coach had to mow the grass.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
I don't know where that came from. So well, it
was fun to hear him on KSR yesterday when he
got done with that other show. Shannon Ryan was like,
you know, he should be done, but he wasn't, and
then he was kind enough to join us.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
So but he's making the rounds though. Yeah, I mean
for Murray State's baseball coach. And again on the same video.
So I don't know if it's true or not, probably not,
but it was talking about how much money he made
versus how much money some of these other coaches in
the college.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Was Oh, I'd love to see that.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
I want to say, Dan Skirk is about to get paid.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Well, good for him. I'm I'm happy for that guy
in that Murray State baseball program. They play on Saturday
at one pm against UCLA and then then they will
play either the winner a loser again Arkansas and LSU.
Let's take a quick call before we take a break.
Eight five nine two eight h two two eight Sevan
j D is on the line. Good morning, JD. How
are you? Hey?

Speaker 5 (20:38):
I'm good guys. How are y'all doing this morning?

Speaker 4 (20:41):
Great?

Speaker 1 (20:41):
What's on your mind? Hey?

Speaker 5 (20:43):
I just wanted to call in touch base. Having been
a former Kentucky football player playing with Dante and with
Shane Ball, who were both like big brothers to me.
I've called it to the show before, talked to Shannon,
but talking about Vince, you know, I think, like most
of the fan base, the initial hit of the news
was a bit of a shock that he's going to Louisville,

(21:06):
not that he's actually leaving. But you don't go down
the road, you just don't. So that's where I'm at
with that. But when you break down looking back at
Nick Nick Rouse wrote an article I think the day
after the announcement or maybe that evening, but from twenty
thirteen to twenty twenty four, Vince was responsible for one

(21:27):
hundred and twenty five total recruits. Of those one hundred
and twenty five, thirty four started, which is twenty seven
percent of those one hundred and twenty five fifteen and
next article he put as we're star players. Now, I'm
not sure exactly what his criteria was for star players,

(21:47):
but that's a mere eight percent. So of all the
recruits from twenty thirteen to twenty twenty four that Vince
was responsible for, less than a third started. So in
my opear onion, let's turn the page, let's go get
CJ to coach the tight end group and and then
let's find it. Let's find somebody replacements. There's a ton

(22:09):
of great recruiters out there. And for the shade that
he threw at the program this morning, I'm done. I'm done. Yeah,
not even everybody in that point, you know, we've had.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
That was.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
No, we're up again. I'll let you go again. Sorry,
all right, we'll give some of our thoughts on that
call a little later. We'll take a break and come
back here live in Hamburg celebrating the US Army. It
is the KASR. Appreciate all right, welcome back. It is
the ksrpre Show live on a Friday here at five
eleven Tacticle in Hamburg. A couple of Kernels up here,

(22:41):
Billy Rutlige and Shannon the Dude, and now Sergeant Adams
joined us. We're here celebrating the US Army's two hundred
and fiftieth birthday and and Sergeant Adams is out here
to talk to us a little bit. How are you doing?

Speaker 4 (22:50):
I'm do good. I appreciate you guys having me on.
You know, it's a privileged to be on.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Here, absolutely, and the privilege to be here with you
as well. So let's talk about the recruiting side of
the army. If somebody is interested and wanting to be
a part of the Army, maybe wanted to get more information,
what's the first step that they should take.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
I think the easiest way today is just pull out
their phone. Everyone has a cell phone. Now. You can
go on go Emory dot com, type in their information
and that will forward their information to the nearest recruiting
station where someone will reach out to them.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah. Great, And what inspired you to join the army?
If we're talking about getting people to sign up, what
was it that made you wanted to join?

Speaker 4 (23:25):
So I was twenty two going on twenty three years old,
and I was just looking for a change of pace.
I was looking for camaraderie. I played college football, and
I was looking for that team environment again and I
saw it after that through the Army, So I found it.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
That's an interesting point, you know, college football, you have
that brotherhood and then that kind of goes away for
a lot of people. You were able to keep that
when you joined the Army.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
Right absolutely. And I thought there wasn't gonna be anything
closer than my college football friends. And then I think
I found even closer friends in the army to where
you know, people that I can depend on for even
states away. Now that I've moved away, I can still
reach back out to them.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
So I was joking with Billy, you know, as to
whether or not he could actually get through basic training.
Take me through basic training? Kind of what's involved? I
think you said it's ten weeks. What all is involved
in basic training?

Speaker 4 (24:09):
Yeah, so ten weeks when you first get there, I
think they're a little bit more strict. They're going to
be yelling at you a little bit more to make
sure you're doing the right thing. Ye. Yeah, But once
you know as a platoon you start doing the right thing.
There's three different phases, red, white, and blue phase. And
as you progress, you know your drill sergeants are going
to start to trust you more, give you a little
bit more free time in the evenings. I hear now
they're even getting cell phones on weekends.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Oh wow, wow, See, I think that would be my
biggest thing. I can't I'm so wetted to the phone,
Like I'm constantly checking my phone. If you were to say, okay,
how many hours a day are you are you on
your phone? I would be embarrassed to admit how how
many hours I'm on it. I think that would be
difficult for me. But as far as the physical part though,
that's pretty demanding, I would say.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
In basic training, yeah, and we have a future soldier
training program here in Lexington at our station to where
we can help you get prepared. But at the same time,
the Army's you know, designed to bring someone off of
the street and to prepare you to graduate basic training.
So it shouldn't be some someone shouldn't be scared to
join because we're going to help progress you to where
you need to be be a soldier.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
So so talk to me about some of the misconceptions that
people may have about the Army. Everybody, when you think
about the Army, you may have these, you know, thoughts
that maybe aren't true.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
So so'll set the record straight.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Yeah, So, I think a lot of people think of
the Army as just war or just combat jobs. With
over one hundred and fifty jobs, whether that's intel or
community communications or po or X ray tex nurses, we
can you know, put you in a safe environment where
you know it doesn't that necessarily have to be a
combat job.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
And so you know a lot of people may want
to join the army, but how do you know the
army is right for someone? I mean, you are you
able to figure that out in the short interviews before
you ship them off to basic training.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
So that's when we sit down and talk and we
kind of figure out what they want to do in life.
Like I said, one hundred and fifty jobs, I think
the Army can be fit for just about anyone. We
just got to find the right role that they're going
to play for the Army.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Cool, Yeah, and we see some you got some equipment
out here today. Was that one of the reasons why
you join is all the cool things that you get
to do or is that some of a perk that
comes with it?

Speaker 4 (26:04):
I think it was definitely a perk. Like I said,
I joined for the camaraderie, and then through my eleven
year career, I've done a lot of cool things. I've
seen a lot of things that I didn't know even existed,
or you know, experience things with my friends that are
are co workers of mine.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
So we're gonna get Billy over here maybe later on
to see what kind of deadlift he's got. Billy, do
you deadlift? When you go to the gym, I just
want to see like how much weight you could push.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Not often, I mean maybe maybe once a month or
something like that, so not often, the form is not great.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Yeah, we'll put the two and a half plates on
their first.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
I'm hoping that's foam over there.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
I think I think those are actual weights there. So yeah,
So everybody loves a great success story. So tell me,
do you have like a good success story and maybe
somebody that came along and was considering being a part
of the army and then you know it turned out
to have a great story behind it.

Speaker 6 (26:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
So I mean I've dealt with the recruit where, you know,
maybe they didn't have a good family life growing up
and the Army you know, brought them out of that
generational situation. And then I also have people that you know,
have success stories on the outside where maybe they got
a certification through an EMT in high school and then
we can give you promotions and other advancements in the

(27:13):
army because you're already certified, and now they're you know,
starting off, you know, a step ahead with their certifications.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
And so I know there's a different, you know, kind
of different paths and one includes being either an active
duty or the Army reserves. Kind of what's the difference
between that and how do you know who's right for what.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
So the active duty is going to be a full
time job, and then the reserves is obviously it's only
one week and a month and then two weeks out
of your summer. So a lot of the people that
are sought after for the reserves, maybe they're a full
time student here at uk or Eku and they're only
going to do that one week and a month and
they can still be a full time student and get
their college paid for. Or maybe they already have a
career here in Lexington and they just want to do

(27:51):
a part time service to add to their resume. But
then the full time is more or less that, you know,
we're going to send them the basic training and then
we're going to send them to a different part of
the country to do that job in the army full time.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah, and you mentioned the benefits of being able to
pay for college, you know, being able to have healthcare.
I mean, there's a lot of things that come with it,
there's no.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
Doubt, absolutely, just for the service member and their family.
So if they're married, or they have kids like it
goes all through the whole family.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Okay, So you got a local Army recruiting station here
in Lexington at one twelve Mount Tabor Road. Walkins welcome.
You can also call our Texas schedule a time and
then go Army dot com.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Right, that's correct, All right, sergeant, thank.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
You so much for your time. I appreciate thank you
very job.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
And what position do you play in college football? I
gotta know that.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
So I was a strong safety and nickel back.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Oh you were laying the hits then from coming from
the strong safety.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
Yeah, I enjoyed tackling people and I liked being on defense.
SCHEGAM University up in Ohio.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Awesome, awesome. Well, thank you Sergeant Adams for your time,
and we will continue to celebrate the Army today. Thank
you very much.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
Appreciate you guys. All right, you gonna go ahead take
an early break.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Yeah, let's take an early break.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Here.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
It is the KSR apprecial. Big thank you to Sergeant Adams.
It's Billy and Shannon the dude. We'll be right back.
Welcome back. It's our final SEGM here at five eleven
Tactical celebrating the two hundred and fiftieth Birthday of the
US Army this weekend. Billy Rutledge and Shannon the Dude
and Shannon tell us about one of our sponsors for you.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Yeah, This segment sponsored by Silk Velvet Whiskey, a historic
brand revived and crafted an eighteen eighty in Henderson, Kentucky,
now brought back by the Harkes family over a century
later with award winning craftsmanship made and hand selected by
master distiller Jacob Call, one of the most awarded distillers
in Bourbon, one hundred and seven proof at least six

(29:31):
years age and age to perfection and bottle for bold
Kentucky flavor with a smooth, velvety finish. You know, the
name Silk Velvet was born when Colonel as Winstead tasted it,
you know, from from one colonel to another, tasted the
first badge in eighteen eighty and declared it the smoothest
whiskey on the market. And now you can go get
it in stores near you. Go to Silk Velvet Whiskey

(29:52):
dot com. You can also follow them on social media
and they have links as to the exact store that
you can go get it. Make sure you check it out.
It is smooth as silk and richest velvet. It's silk
velvet whiskey.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Yeah, and again, apologies to the silk velvet whiskey people
for almost hitting them with my golf.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Can't believe you did that.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
I know, terrible person. Let's talk about jobs for a second,
because in the US Army there's over two hundred jobs
and fields like cybersecurity, aviation, medical, law enforcement, and engineering.
You know, one job we've talked about that we would
never want to do is cleaning windows high rise or
changing light bulbs on the top of these radio towers.
But Shannon, during the break, you were telling me that

(30:29):
you were watching on TikTok the opposite of that splunking.
I didn't know that you would know what splunking is.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
I thought maybe you thought when I got in that algorithm,
I was into something else. No, this is uh and
I don't even know how that happens too, Right, Like,
I was listening to a Blackstone Cherry song, the Ghost
of Floyd Collins, and the song is about a guy
who got trapped in a cave. And then I go
to YouTube and there's suggestions like you might like this,
and it's stories about Yeah, exactly. It's stories about people

(30:58):
who go I guess, cave exploring and then get stuck
in the cave, which is another one of my worst nightmares.
Like I'll go to Mammoth cave where there's big open areas,
but don't ask me to go through like these little
claustrophobic tunnels that people go through. I know that there's
people there, I guess, just curious, like why would you
want to do that? Adventures maybe two adventuros. The next
thing you know, you're stuck in a cave.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
Well.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
I set this up as like jobs that people would do.
This is not a job. This is a death sentence, Shan.
I feel like this is one of the stupidest things
that humans can do, is go into these tight, narrow
spaces and.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Some of them are like vertical, They're going upside down.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Right upside down. I mean there's water filling up in
these caves a lot of times. Yeah. So, I mean
it's pitch dark, as dark as it can possibly be.
I mean talk about things that are made from nightmare, Shannon,
Splunking has to be on it, and there are horror
stories like you said.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
So I was watching it yesterday afternoon. Then I go
to OVW and I come back home and I go
back to YouTube because there's not a whole lot going
on in sports last night, and first suggested videos like
thirty minutes of stories of people who got stuck in,
and I couldn't stop watching it. I'm like, I know
this is morbid, but it's just it's it's fascinating to
me that somebody would be willing to do this. And
they're like, yeah, then the person had to suck in.

(32:10):
There's you know, there's stomach to be able to fit through.
At that point, did you not think this is a
bad idea if you have to literally suck.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
In your your your lungs, you know, to be.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Able to squeeze through a little tiny hole in a cave,
and then these people would die in there. They would
just seal them off. Oh yeah, they couldn't get them out,
so they would just concrete it in.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
There's been a lot of tragedies crazy. I've picked up
the same algorithm, I guess because I've seen a lot
of those. But yeah, just the video of them squeezing
themselves through these cramped areas is unbelievable. Yeah, and something
that hopefully will be able to avoid.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
So that's what I'll be doing all weekend is watching
splunking videos.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Okay, splunking could be many of things, but now we're
talking about diving in caves. You know, not a ton
of sports going on. I do want to wish a
congratulations to Oscar Shebwey. Many Kentucky fans are a fan
of Oscar. Still, he just had the best season in
the G League ever for a rebounder, Shannon, and that
probably comes to no surprise for us. Yeah, yeah, average

(33:08):
nineteen rebounds a game. It's the best ever in the
G League. He's spent two years in the G League
for the Utah Jash Shannon. Does Oscar Shebwey have a
career in the NBA? He absolutely should.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
And I know, like there's different parts of basketball other
than rebounding, But you can't tell me that some of
these bottom feeder NBA teams couldn't use a guy like
Oscar Sheboy, Like, if you're gonna just put him in
the G League, trade the guy to somebody, right, I mean,
somebody that can get you in nineteen rebounds a game.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
I get this way, Dennis Rodman type of.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Probably, I get the game has changed, but he has
that motor like a Dennis Rod. Mean, it's incredible. He
succeeded wherever he goes. So while he may be a
little undersize and doesn't hit the three point shot, enough,
just give this guy a chance, man.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
I mean, yes, the game has changed, but I don't
think rebounding has ever gone out of style.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
No, that's true. And when you have sixteen twenty plus
rebound games, you're certainly somebody that knows how to do it.
Those two seasons with Oscar feel like a fever dream
a little bit, don't.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
They They do?

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Yeah, and talk about a guy who was absolutely beloved
over the last several years at Kentucky. Oscar, she plays
got to be there, you know, among the top.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
On the list. You remember, he couldn't make nil money
in the States, so when they went to the Bahamas,
he was doing like all these commercials and things like that.
I mean, you got to get it in when you can.
And now that we have, you know, athletic departments going
to be paying players directly. Now Oscar was like, where
how come I couldn't I get it out?

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (34:29):
I gotta think though, eventually he's going to have a
career in the NBA. I'm just surprised that it's taken
this long to get him there, he said, two years
in the G League. I would have thought by now
that a guy like that would be able to find
at least a spot on the end of the bench.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
I know, and his enthusiasm can be infectious or detrimental,
as we've learned about, Like who's this G League team?
The Utah Jazz.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
So the Utah Jazz are so great they couldn't use
a guy that could go out there and get them
nineteen rebounds.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
I mean, the Utah Jazz could use a star, right.
I mean, I feel like he would be embraced by
any fan base. Just I had amount of hustle. We
saw it from TJ McConnell the other night.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
I mean, I I you know, I can't name all
the guys on the Utah Jazz's roster.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Uh call him alone one stocked at John Stockton.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
But yeah, okay, if you go, if you go to
the Jazz roster and you go to the very last
guy on the roster, you can't tell me that Oscar
Shebey isn't better than that guy.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
I don't believe it. Well, maybe better at things that
they need right like outside shooting, or they just need
something other than a I don't know, man, here's my thing.
Here's my thing.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Even if I had a guy that was a you know,
decent outside shooter, I would trade it for a guy
who could get you offensive rebounds. And if you don't
have as great as shooting, you got a guy that's
gonna give you a second, third and chance opportunity every
time you go down the floor with Oscar.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Yeah, I don't I don't get it, you know. I
hope he does get a shot. I think he has
played in an NBA game, but just really hasn't seen
much run there. Let's take a call before we get
into a couple more wacky topics before we hand it
off to KSR. Live here in Hamburg. Get five eleven
tactical eight five nine two eight zero two two eight seven.
I believe Robert has been patiently waiting. What's up, Robert?

Speaker 6 (36:03):
Yeah, I'd like to give you all two great TV dads,
Hugh Beaumont, Cleaver, leave it to Beaver, Fred McMurray, Steve Douglas,
my three sons. Watch them if you haven't seen them before.
Great shows.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
I've heard of those, but I wasn't really go an
leave it to beaver guy. I think that was a
little bit before my time.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yeah, what about you, or you'll leave it to beaver guy.
I've never seen it, so I'm gonna have to check
it out. Uh. But you know you you watch Andy
Griffith and singing that that's true.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
Andy Gibbert was before my time too, But it was
one of those things my parents watched, so I kind
of watched it with my parents. I wasn't, you know,
eight years old seeking out Andy Griffith. It was just
always on in my living room, so I had no choice.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
But you have four channels, Shannon, there's really not It's true,
not many things or options to have.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
See, young people don't understand the struggle of four channels,
you know, all local channels. And then you didn't have
a remote, so you had actually get up and like
push the button to turn the channel.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
I will say I never had to like get up,
like change the television channel on the TV.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
See as a kid, I was my dad's remote control.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Yeah, hey, get up and change the channel. But I
will say I was old enough to remember when programs
were good, Like, I mean, just like quality programs like
I think a Sports Center, Man, I used to watch
Sports Center twice a day. Yeah, I mean you just
watch it on.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Look, Like, are there any good sitcoms anymore? Am I
just missing out?

Speaker 3 (37:21):
Well?

Speaker 2 (37:21):
You know, we talked about Full House and Family Matters
and Fresh Prints. I don't feel like any of those
really exist anymore. Or maybe it's just the case that
there's so much to watch it kind of gets lost
in the shovel.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Yeah, I think so. I think that that's a good point.
You know, This is Us was a really popular get,
but that's not even a sitcom, Shannon. That's more of
like a scripted druma.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
I'm talking about like, you know, national television, those type
of things you know, like like remember, thank God it's Friday.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Do you remember that?

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Yes, Friday nights you have like Full House, Family Matters,
those type of shows.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Nick at night, man, I would just watch all those
shows while I'm going to sleep. So, yeah, maybe we've
lost the art of the sitcoms in America and across
the world. Shannon tell us about.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
One of our sponsors. Yeah, Billy, I know you've had
a crack in your windshold. Hopefully you fix that by
now if night see it. Actually, if not, it's still there. Okay,

Speaker 1 (38:55):
All right, just a few minutes left. So I got
a couple wacky stories for your Shamon. We Guel. The
first is, how do you think mister spectacular is going
to do in the revote of American Gladiator. He's been
selected to participate in it. I think he's absolutely going
to kill it as a gladiator.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
He And then we also had a female wrestler, Jay Rod,
who is also going to be a part of American Gladiators.
And I was a big fan of that show back
in the day. He used to come on the USA
Network and I would watch it every time it would
come on.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
So with tennis.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Balls, oh yeah, I want to be that guy sitting
there just with the machine or the Q tip battles
like the tennis ball machine gun.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
I hope they still have that. I hope Jesse is
being in people with some tennis balls on American Gladiators.
Best of luck to him. So I think he'll do
well and you need to get on in that shame.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
I was a little disappointed I didn't get the call.
I mean, Jesse's body and my body are practically the same,
just different face, you know. I think that's the only difference.
I don't know why.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Maybe I should check my messages, maybe I have a
miss Maybe.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
You need to tweet as much as he does. Reason.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
That's the thing, man, that guy tweets more than any
other person on the planet.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
He has tweeted a billion times and it just goes all.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Day and it works. I guess, I don't know. I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
I don't know if he's got a team that like
tweets for him. But my guy, mister spectacular, tweets more
than anybody ever.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
And quickly remember the guy from Murray that had the donkey,
rode the donkey to the bar, got the dui on
the dom that well, he's back in the news. He
got arrested again. He released the donkey Dewey. He released
a raccoon into a business and then left. You can't
be doing that. The raccoon bits somebody, No, So he
got charged I think with a second degree assault of
a raccoon, second degree assault and criminal trespassing as he

(40:34):
had already been asked to leave the premises, comes back
with a raccoon and then just leave.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
So I'm just trying to play this out in my
in my mind, like okay, uh, donkey Dewey. Guy gets
upset at a business and then it's like, you know what,
I'm gonna come back and get them.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
I'm gonna show them. He goes and gets his pet raccoons,
his pet.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Well, I don't know at this point, you've got to
You've got to catch the raccoon first. So if you
didn't already have a raccoon, that's an even different layer
to the story.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
But let's just say he has the.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
Raccoon and he breaks it back to the store and
just unleashes it, and let's it have a you know,
free reign.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
I don't know if that's a good or a bad
omen for the Murray State baseball team this weekend, but
you know what it is one so we'll be all rotten.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
From you get to put a little money on draft
kings for Murray I think I might.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
I may. I know they're a long shot, but man,
I think this whole state in this country might get it.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
I mean, if you if you had money on him
to beat Duke, you probably would have made some good money.
And you can do it on DraftKings with the NBA
Finals and with the College World Series as well. Bet
five dollars, get three hundred dollars in bonus bets if
your first bet hits that is on the NBA finals
with promo code KSR. For new customers, bet five, get
three hundred if your first bet hit speak.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
Thank you to the US Army having us out here
at five eleven Tactical. The two hundred and fiftieth birthday
of the US Army is a reminder that the Army
has helped generations and it's still helping people build strong
futures today. Hopefully they can find some new recruits Shannon,
