Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everyone. It is the KSR Pre Show. It's Wednesday,
June eighteenth. I am Shannon the Dude. I'm in Louisville,
being joined by Billy Rutledge. He's in Lexington and you
can give us a call in the Clark's Bubbat Shop
phone line eight five nine two eight oh twenty two
eighty seven be our whiskey thief call of the day.
KSR Pre Show is always being brought to you by
Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington. The text line, by
(00:23):
the way, is also five two six five six six
five six. Billy tells us this is show number nine
hundred and nineteen. We are creeping up on one thousand, Billy.
You know they always say you have to like do
ten thousand hours to be able to like master something,
become an expert. Yeah, so I feel like, well, we're
(00:45):
not quite at ten thousand, but we're coming up on
one thousand. If we get so, once we get to
one thousand, Billy, we do that ten more times, then
we will master the pre show at that point.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well, yeah, if that's the case, you're mister Miagi at
this point with the amount of shows that you've done,
I mean You've done KSR for how many years at
this point?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Fourteen years? And then you take that that's a two
hour show, two hours, two hours a dayeen years. Let's
do some math here, like okay, so like fifty two
weeks in a year five shows, well not always five shows.
So what do you want to say. Let's let's call
it fifty weeks a year. I'll be a little less
than that with how much vacation to please? Okay, we
(01:23):
go down to forty All right, well, I mean the
early in the early years, I only had like one
week of vacation, so I'm doing an average. I'm going
back to fifty. I'm going to say fifty weeks times fourteen. No,
hang on, fifty weeks? What am I trying to do? Tom?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
This is dangerous radio trying to do math on the air? Right,
hang on? You think you got this? I got this.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Carry the one fifty weeks times five because there's five
work days in the week. That gets me to two fifty. Right,
I'm then going to times up by fourteen. That gets
me to three thy five hundred.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
You follow following you, I'm following you here, show.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I'm showing my work. Here is it. Check it out, teacher.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I mean I don't necessarily agree, but we'll go with
this numbers.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Okay, So thirty five hundred shows is what I'm coming
up with here, and then you got a times up
by two and that gets me to seven thousand hours.
So I guess I'm not even at ten thousand hours
on ks ARE yeh. And radio in general. Absolutely, I've
done probably one hundred thousand hours in radio in general,
but I guess that's only seven thousand hours on ks ARE.
(02:25):
Is that math? Right? Could I be wrong on that?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
You know, you got to think you did you know
Michael Bennett Show for a while there. I mean you've
you've chound it on the Jerry Eve.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Show, done QUMF and Double Q and the Fox going
all the way back to two thousand and god six,
two thousand and six.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
So yeah, I mean you interned for a little while.
So I mean you were you're savvy radio venter in.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Twenty one years. Twenty this August will be twenty one years.
It's crazy, twenty one years? Did you walk?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Go ahead?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
No, no, no, what were you gonna say?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I'm just wondering yesterday, you know, at our show, I
was wondering if you walked out with any of those
meta glasses we were talking about, when you can just
walk up to somebody and look at them and it says,
here is what you're looking at. Those things are cool.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
No, I didn't get them, and I don't necessarily like
people recording on those things without me knowing.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Shannon, I'm a scary thing that people are recording. I
didn't know you could record, yeah, what you're seeing.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I've seen some cool videos of people playing sports with
them on and you get that POV, that first person perspective,
which is cool. But if I'm you know, on the subway, Shannon,
and somebody's just staring at me, I don't want that
to be recorded footage, right. I mean you at least
got to point your camera at my face, so you know,
a little deceptive that you can do a lot of
things on that.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, But I mean, like, let's say I'm sitting here,
You're sitting across from me, and I got my phone
up for all you know, I'm just looking at my phone,
but I could be recording you. And here's the other thing.
When you go out in public, now, I mean, you
should just assume that you're going to be recorded, right,
I mean there's cameras on every street corner, it's just
about right.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, And Matt mentioned that on KSR about two days
ago when he talked about is it possible to get
away with a crime?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I love this topic, by the way, and I think
the answer is absolutely no. You can run for a while.
What's the Johnny Cash song. You can run on for
a long while, but sooner or later God's gonna cut
you down to That's what I feel like that I
have with the criminals that would apply. Yeah, sooner or
later you're gonna get caught.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Well, I mean there's just a camera everywhere now, So,
like you know, I was reading a store where a guy,
uh peed on meat at a grocery store. What yeah,
And so like you know, they they somebody took a
picture of him. You know, they reviewed the security footage.
They eventually got the guy, but he pleaded not guilty
in court, which I didn't understand because it's you're obviously
guilty if you're on camera, pean. But at the same time,
(04:39):
I mean, I think there's a there's a bigger aspect
here is that there's cameras everywhere and I mean, if
you try to get away with anything that they there's
gonna be something that picks you up. And I'm not
even talking about China, where you've got you know, social
scores and like you are tracked with your you know,
your face is tracked with these these uh these cameras.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Well.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
See, if you're crazy enough to commit murder, you're probably
crazy enough to believe that you're not going to get
caught even though you know. I mean, how many how
many people out there have just well, I guess we
don't know, but murdered somebody and just gotten away with it.
I don't think there's very many. I mean, I don't
know if there's a way to tabulate that or figure
that out. My point is, though, like when you go
(05:20):
on the run, all right, and they know that they
that you committed a crime, you may get a while,
get away for like a while, You may get away
for a few weeks, it might even be a few months,
but eventually, like they're going to catch you. Have you
not seen the show I Almost Got Away with It?
I recommended that to Matt if you haven't seen it yet,
that they've got like seven or eight seasons of that show.
And I can't stop watching it. These people who like
(05:42):
commit crimes. Some of them like, we'll escape from jail,
like what happened down in Louisiana a few weeks ago.
By the way, did they catch those guys or are
those guys still on the right?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, yeah, I believe so, them and the former Arkansas
police chief who just made a makeshift outfit and walked out.
So yeah, I mean people are breaking out of prison
pretty sure. Sure, but but they're found yeah right, I
mean it's impossible to hide in today's world. I mean,
you're eventually found in a pizza hut in Honduras, eventually, right,
Eventually you either.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Get hungry, run out of money, or get tired of
sleeping in the woods. Say, you know what, a cell
block doesn't sound so bad after all, right, so eventually
you're gonna get caught. Last night, Billy, we did trivia again.
I'm not going to give a shout out to the
place that we did the trivia at. You know, last
week was general knowledge and I was telling you like
I didn't know any of the answers.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh, and that was my shining moment last week. If
Alexander the.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Green Alexander the great Well last night we went because
I'm like, you know what, this is a topic I
know a lot about. It was Nickelodeon Trivia. Did you
watch Nickelodeon as a kid.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Of course, I mean, I mean grew up on some
shows like SpongeBob, but even like Later than Night, like
Nicked Knight stuff. We were just talking about sitcom dads, right, yeah,
Nick at Knight had had a great lineup. So yeah,
car you network Nickelodeon. There was a golden era of
cartoons back when I was a kid.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Well, I went into Nickelodeon Trivia very very confident and
left defeated. I mean, oh no, our team did, by
the way, our team, without much help for me, did
finish in second place. But I wanted to give you
just a few of the Nickelodeon Trivia questions to see
if you maybe would know the ones that I actually
did know. The other ones, so many of them I
(07:25):
didn't know. I knew like two or three of the answers,
and I want to see if you knew this one. Now,
did you ever watch Legends of the Hidden Temple?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Okay, because this isn't my wheelhouse. You had like the
Silver snakes and the Orange iguanas and the green monkeys
and these you know, these teams all had team names,
but it was always the same every episode, just different contestants.
All right. The question was like the talking rock. Do
you know the name of the talking Rock? No, but
(07:52):
you know what I'm talking about, of course.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, I can hear his voice.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah. The thing that would give like the instructions on
how to play the games. Okay, well they I'll just
give you the answer it was, Oh, mec, I knew
that one.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I didn't have that one. No idea.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Now do you remember the other show on Nickelodeon called Guts.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Guts and Double Dare. Yeah, yeah, held us all right.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
So the other question was, you know, at the end
of the episode of Guts, whoever won had to climb
the big mountain, right, yeah, do you know the name
of the mountain?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
No? No, these are extremely specific, and I guess five
year old Billy wasn't thinking about names. He was just
amazed there was a stone wall talking where there was
a mountain to climb. What was the name of the mountain?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I guess the agro Crag.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Oh boy, see as well.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
See, I don't know that you probably would have done
on the done well on the cartoon part of this,
because when I watched Nickelodeon as a kid, I wasn't
watching the cartoons. I was watching Double Dare and Guts
and Temple Legends of the Hidden Temple. So I mean,
I feel like that's where I could contribute my uh
expertise to the team. But outside of that, I was terrible.
Like I didn't know the answers for like Doug and
salute your shorts so the name of the camp for that,
(09:00):
and I wasn't very good. So I'm just saying, like
I thought that I was going to be really good
going in, maybe I should have gone with Corey Price
and done the Hue trivia instead. That was happening last
night at another bar, but you.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Know, I cleaned up on that.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I'm just trying to get, you know, involved in different
activities this summer, and you know, trivia night felt like
a good way to hang out with friends. But I'm
just I'm not very good at it. I've learned that
over the last couple of weeks. I don't have any
general knowledge and I don't know much about Nickelodeon, not
nearly as much as what I thought I did.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Well. When you don't have Google in front of you,
it's tough. Yeah, bring the bell for myself. I looked
up Legends of the Hidden Temple ninety three to ninety five.
It was on Nickelodeon only two years, only two years,
and but so I think it shows like Fairly Odd
Parents and Rugrats. Yeah, Jimmy Neutron, you probably struggled with
those questions a little.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I did. There was one other one that was, like,
what did they call the programming on Saturday Night?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Do you know that it's not Nick at Knight?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
No? No, that was one of the options though, Yeah,
I was just multiple choice for you. It was yeah,
I don't have I don't have the multiple choice it
was snick. I didn't know that one either. No, I
never heard that.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
But I am sad for children today because you know,
cartoons just aren't the same. I mean, we had such
a great lineup back in the day. I mean I
even go to Cartoon Network and watch a whole wide
rate of shows.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Probably don't remember the USA network that was probably like
I think by the time you were born, they had
changed their their cartoon lineup, but they used to have
the Cartoon Express on USA. I mean, come on, I.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Was just young enough to do like the Saturday morning
cartoon thing, so like the uh you know, like that's
all folks, A little bugs bunny in the morning on Saturdays,
eat some sugary cereal or something like that. I was
getting up that early to watch it. Uh So nowadays,
you know, you just stream it on YouTube, right, I mean,
everything's on demand. You want to watch an old show,
you can find it. But like new content, new kids
(10:58):
shows today, I'm sure it's qualities dropped off quite so.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Not a whole lot of Kentucky news going on. There
are a few things from practice in the early summer
for Kentucky basketball. Yeah, you know there's guy's working out
talking about practice, talking about you know, guys working out
in the gym talk about game. We were talking about
the basketball players wearing those those sports brawl things measures
and you know, monitors your heart rate and I guess
(11:24):
how much effort you're putting in running up and down
the floor. But there's there was a couple of major standouts, Billy,
and I wanted to get your take on this. A
couple of guys that, according to the reports, a couple
of major standouts in the early summer workouts. Jasper Johnson's
won okay, and the other one Melicai Marino. I'm just saying,
(11:47):
you gave me a lot of crap for saying that
that was the guy that I was really excited to
see this year. And according to Pope, he said this
was his quote. They are jaw dropping great.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Muh so, Jasper and Malachi were in Colorado Springs trying
out for the U nineteen USA team, I believe, and
Jasper Johnson has recently made one of the cuts, but
Malachi Moreno did not. There was a statement that came
out that they were as a mutual parting of the
ways between the two parties because Malachi suffered an injury
on Monday. But the controversy is right now that a
(12:21):
Louisville freshman I think it's Michel Brown dunked on Malachi Moreno.
There's a video out there and they had to cut
Malachi because he wasn't playing well enough.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Oh come on now, No, he was hurt. He was hurt,
and you just said it was mutually. They both neither
like ma Reno didn't want to be out there. No,
they come back to get talk about well, that was the.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Comment, and so Louisville fans have been running with that
over the past few days. At the same time, I
believe the first summer practices have been taking place for Kentucky.
Here the practice facilities and a lot of good things
being said about a guy like Colin Chandler, who is
you know he was like last year we only had
Jackson Robinson to describe the system to us. You know,
now we've got four returning guys. The whole coaching staff returns.
(13:02):
I mean, there's a lot of continuity that's going to
help these players this year. But I would love for
Jasper Johnson become to become maybe even a starter. Shannon.
I think Matt's more bullish on him than maybe we are.
But he's not coming to Kentucky to sit the bench.
He could become a really good player this year.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
No, I mean, I think there's a lot of players
that aren't coming here necessarily to sit the bench. But
I mean somebody's got to.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Right Yeah, yeah, but that many talented players. Yeah, there's
gonna be some bench that.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
You mentioned college Colin Chandler, he was talking about Modeia
Bate and you know, called him a jack of all trades.
I think that these guys that are returning players for
Kentucky are a lot are happy that they're getting to
actually play with guys like Modia Bate or Denzel Aberdeen
versus having to play against them this upcoming year. So
it's good to have those guys, you know, in the
(13:50):
transfer portal on the team. Now, speaking of Colin Chandler,
could you imagine Billy Bean back in college. You're playing
for Kentucky. You know, when you play basketball for Kentucky,
you're a rock star on campus, right. Could you imagine
being married in college? I mean, I think that would maybe,
you know, help him with this focus. He's not gonna
be chasing the ladies around campus. But I can't imagine
(14:12):
first of all, just being a Kentucky basketball player and
all the attention that comes along with that. But then
you're married in college. I mean, there's not many guys
over the years that we can say were married while
they were playing at Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah, And it's different if I'm married in college compared
to I think a Kentucky basketball player who is the
big man on.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Campus, right, right, I mean, you're a rock star.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
You know when you meet the one you know, you know,
and so I wish the best of luck who people
who find themselves in those situations. But you know, the
advice given to me was, you know, drop your girlfriend
your senior year of high school because you're not gonna
really you know, you don't want to do the long
distance stuff in college. And that's probably some sound advice
because you don't want to do anything nefarious and and
(14:53):
you know, live a lie Shannon. But you know Kentucky
basketball players and I'm not even talking just recently, just
like all time, you know what I mean, Like when
you get to that level of talent, like you go
on recruiting trips and people are just throwing things at
you share literally allegedly.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah, Alec, I don't know. I've never been on a
recruiting trip for a college basketball so.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
You didn't take the circuit.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I mean, I've been saying, like when I was playing
baseball and I went on my recruiting visit to Campbellsville University,
there weren't exactly ladies throwing themselves at me. That's not
how it worked.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I think that's that's a different level though.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Well, you made like a Division two is it the
same there.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Like, let's say you're a football recruit and you're you
go like to the University of Texas for a visit.
Let me tell you that visit is going to be
filled with many things that the Campbellsville visit did not
have for you.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
But uh, at the same time, all they offered me
at Campbellsville was some really mediocre lunch and they sent
me on my way and that was it.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Well, think about this, I mean, not that it hadn't
been happening at these recruiting trips. Now you can talk
dollars and cents right right, Not that it wasn't like
there was a tough bag in your room when you
got back after the long day of a recruiting trip.
But now it's like, hey, we have an allotment of
twenty million dollars for this athletic department. Now how much
are you willing to give me? So, I mean, the
dynamics is you change?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Man? Like, if we could go back in time, wouldn't
you like just make sure you're you're really good at
basketball or football and just make a team and just
make money and be set for life. God, I would
love to go back. I wouldn't be playing baseball. I
would be doing I don't know, I'd be playing football somehow,
some way.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yeah, but you'd have to be born in today's times, right,
Like he's true, he'd have to be able to hit
the nil time. I think a guy's like Jack Gibbons,
who like couldn't find a place to eat in town.
Like it was like he was trying to find just
food to live. And if someone's dropping all these points
in the National Championship.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And if somebody gave you a cookie and the NCAA
found out, you're suspended for two weeks.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Well, it was like cheese on crackers.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
That's ridiculous. It wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
It was like peanut butter or whatever. It was like, Yeah,
the NCAA deserves everything they got.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Come my, how times have changed. Eight five, nine, two
eighty seven. We're gonna take your calls. We're going to
talk about Zekaia Ziggler, who is hanging out for dear
life to his eligibility.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
He thought we got rid of him.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
No, no, there's a there's a follow up to that story.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
We got to talk a little bit about the TVT
announcement that came out yesterday and Louisville naming streets after
ads who got fired. We gotta gotta talk about that
and a whole lot more. We'll take your calls. Come
it up next here on the ksrpre Show. It's good stuff, man.
I don't know if you listen to Johnny Cash. I
(17:33):
mean I know that you're you're younger, but even the
older stuff that he recorded right before he died, I
think was really good. I was a big fan of that.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I didn't listen to a lot of country as a kid,
but my dad exposed me to a little Johnny Cash
and the concert he did in a prison. Uh so,
you know, I.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Definitely Joaquin Phoenix was amazing, by the way, and that
walk the line yea like his impersonation, and he sounded
I think really close. I mean, take an actor and say, okay,
sing the song yourself and try to sound like Johnny Cash.
That's not easy. But I think that Joaquin Phoenix in
that movie was just incredible.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Well, Phoenix is the right guy for it, right. He's
one of those method actors that take it way too
seriously and they don't drop character when the when the
like the cut comes in for a movie, you know,
he did the joker recently and yeah, and I think
played Lincoln at one point.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
So the Florida Panthers Billy became the Uh. I guess
back to back champions in hockey? Are you are? Do
you care about the Florida Panthers being do you care
about hockey? I know you're a Florida guy, That's why
I ask.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I'm from Florida. Yeah, a big Tampa Bay Lightning fan,
and I care more about hockey than probably most of
the state. But I will say last night's game was
the first game I've watched in the NFL playoffs this year.
I just haven't gotten into it with the Lightning not
in it. Uh. But let me tell you, like, it's
amazing the difference between the two fan bases in the
Stanley Cup because you have the Oilers in Canada who
(18:58):
haven't a Canadian team hasn't won the Cup since like
early nineties, so they're they're in a drought, they're desperate.
This this is what they care about. Yeah, And meanwhile
the Florida Panthers, it's like the fifth thing that they
care about down there in Miami, right, So it's like
they're back to back champs. But how much do they
even really care?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Well, I mean kind of like Lobell. You know, we're
talking about the people in Losville, how much to like
the population of level overall care about sports. You know,
I think MAT's right. You can take the population of Lovell,
cut it in half. Half the people don't care about sports.
I've got plenty of friends who do not care about
any sports, and I think it's so strange, like you
don't care like about any any sports, and maybe it's
(19:35):
just about friends are weird, I don't know. But you
take the population of Loislle, cut it in a half.
Half of them don't care. The other half I think
are divided up between Kentucky and Lovell fans. There's a
ton of Kentucky fans in Lobell. I would say as
much as forty percent of the population that actually does
care about sports in the city of Loslle are Kentucky fans.
So I think maybe that's that's a little bit like
(19:56):
Florida what they're their hockey team.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I kind of agree. I mean, you've you've lived a
long time in Louisville, so you would know. But you know,
I also think Louisville is unique because there's no professional
sports team, so the people that do care about sports
are very passionate, right, I mean, when there are no
pro sports teams, there's just a different passion when it
comes to your college team. But I think generally there
is a much bigger part of Louisville compared to Lexington
(20:19):
that don't care about sports. Sure, but nevertheless they're still
naming city streets after athletes.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
That's right? Yeah, I mean, come on, what are they
do it?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Like?
Speaker 1 (20:30):
You fired the ad right or of the board I
guess voted him out. However that worked. I can't remember
how it all played out, but regardless, Tom George was
not here because Louisville decided they didn't want him to
be the ad any longer. And now they're naming a
street after the guy, Like what are you doing? Could
you imagine like firing a guy and then coming back
a few years later and going, let's name the street
after him. How does that work?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Well? I mean I was gonna link in it, liking
it to a Kentucky coach, but I don't think Billy
g is going to get a street named now for
him any time.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Absolutely not, you.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Know, coated, complicated, legacy with Tom Jurch. I mean he
got Louisville into the ACC. I mean, he helped, you know,
bring a lot to that city. But what I remember
of Tom Jurch is him calling the station telling people
they couldn't say certain things, right. So, I mean it
was just a it's just a weird way to look
at it. But at the same time, you know, the
city has started this initiative, not exactly the school, and
(21:24):
so that I think the school is on board. But
he will be honored. Do you think Mitch Barnhardt will
have a city street named after him?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Possibly? But I mean I could see that being something
that's deserved, right. It's not like he was ran out
of here in shame because he was the ad when
we had a stripper scandal at Kentucky. I think there's
a big difference between saying does Mitch Barnhardt deserve a
street named after him? Versus does Tom Jurich. Sure he
was a great ad when he was here, but let's
also remember why he's not at Leivelle anymore. Wasn't on
(21:50):
his own.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah, well, they've got to welcome back somebody. You know,
Rick Patino's out here donating to the UK football team
and saying Kentucky's always been Camlot. I mean they got
to welcome back somebody, so I guess it's your.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
DraftKings is where you need to go right now to
bet on the NBA Finals. There may only be one
more game left. You can do it with promo code KSR.
Bet five dollars, get three hundred dollars in bonus bets
if your first bet hits that is on DraftKings with
promo code KSR, or the crown is yours. We're going
to take your calls. Coming up after the break. Eight
five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. It's
Shannon the Dude and Billy Retledge. This is the KSR
(22:22):
pre Show, Welcome Back. It is the KSR pre Show.
Shannon the Dude, Billy Releage eight five nine two eight
oh twenty two eighty seven. We're going to go to
the phones in just a minute. But first, Billy, I
got to talk about the new beer can label that
just came out yesterday. I finally got the green light
to post that on social media if you haven't seen
it yet. At Shannon of the Dude, I just want
to brag on the artist Ben Runko is an amazing artist.
(22:46):
And this is coming from somebody. Look, I can't draw anything,
so I'm I'm sort of amazed by anybody with any
sort of artistic ability at all. But he is on
like another level. Like I've seen some good artists, this
dude is like one of the best local artists I've
ever seen. So I want to give a shout out
to him and shout out to Country Boy Brewing. You'll
(23:06):
be able to see that beer can label soon out
in Kroger stores in late August early September. But he
kind of here's the thing, Billy. We just gave him
an idea. We say, okay, here's the three different things
that I do radio, rustling, rock and roll. Put those
three things together on a beer can like a calash.
(23:27):
That's the only direction that we gave this guy. And
what he in the finished product is what you see there.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
No, I really like the color scheme. There's almost like
a mirror reflection on a lot of it. There's like
some blinding lights too. You even got me on the
beer can in my ABG shirt. You know that's year
and on. There's Billy that's training the dude. So I mean,
I really do like it. I would tell you if
I didn't. Yeah, And I like the beer the hazel
nut taste in it because it's different than the original
(23:55):
Shannon the Dude.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
It's very unique. I don't know too many beers that
actually have hazel nut in it. And that's the you know,
the reason we had to pivot from what it was
originally because it tasted very close to their other beer,
Shotgun Wedding. We didn't want to have the two beers
be so similar that people couldn't tell the difference.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
So and you just loved hazel nut creamer so much
that they asked you what you wanted in there your beer,
and you're like, hazel nut.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Well, then they said, yeah, like what else do you
like to drink? Like, what do you I was like, well,
I drink coffee. They said, well, what do you put
in your coffee? I was like, well, a lot of cream?
They said, what kind of cream? Hazel nut? So like,
all right, why don't we take that idea and put
some hazel nut in a beer? And I don't think
I've ever had another. I'm sure they exist. I'm not
saying they don't, but as someone who has consumed a
(24:40):
beer or two in my time. I don't think I've
ever had another hazel nut beer. So it's a very
unique beer. That's the other thing too, Like when you're
trying to create something from the ground up, you don't
want to make something that's just like every other beer
that's out there. Sure, yeah, so you got to sort
of think outside the box. And two Country Boys Bruins
credit they did that, and I'm just again, I'm just
(25:00):
blown away with the artwork. It's incredible. I can't draw
anything past a stick figure. That's fine.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I'm the same. I'm the same way. Like maybe a
little sun in the corner or something, but that's that's
about it. But Country Boy giving me the green light
that they'll be supplying the beer at my wedding. So
maybe a little shit in the dude brew okay at
the wedding.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah absolutely, Maybe I'll come there and be your bartender.
I can crack open your No.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I don't want you work and I want you having
a good time.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Okay, what's the date on that again?
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Twenty forty of twenty twenty six. They got a long
way to go.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Have you done any planning? By the way, like I've
never been married, So how far out do you have
to plan? Are you using all this time to plan
or are you just stalling? Like what's why We've.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Been reaching out to venders a lot recently. You know,
we're not setting out invitations or anything like that because
we're obviously a year away. But Shannon, I'm going to
limit the wedding talk. After I stuck my foot in
my mouth a couple of weeks ago, I look, I
know you did so much trouble.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah. Yeah, you're talking out the in laws or the
future in laws, and.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I don't know about what it was about that day.
I just needed to unload a little bit, and it
was not not a good idea.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
See. I like catching you when you're in a mood
like that, because I know I could get some.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Stuff to do it. That day, you were like, what's wrong, Billy,
that's what's going on. I'm like, I'm nothing, I'm fine.
And then I proceed to like ruin my relationship with
my in laws on the air.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
So yeah, and they're not even your in laws yet.
I mean you still got you know, uh what, fourteen
months I guess to mend your relationship with them before
you even get married. So yeah, that's one good thing.
All right, let's take some calls. We haven't taken a
call yet. Let's go to l D.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
What's up from Tennessee Boys?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
By the Boys, it's Space's Ghost.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Do you remember that.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Ghost?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Oh, Space Ghost? Yeah, I guess on the cartoon at work.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Yeah, yeah, nineteen sixty six.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
No, not from the cartoon that worked from nineteen sixty six.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
They read it was a little before.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Yeah, yeah, because I'm half a hundred y'all remember the
thunder Cats.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Oh yeah, the Barbary Young do.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
The Barbarys from that?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
I just gonna give y'all how when I was growing up,
I just had the black one.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
TV.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Went from that through the satellite disc and man's world changed.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Oh. I can remember when we got like the satellite dish,
thanks for the cauality. We went from regular TV billy
to the giant satellite. Did you ever have that? You
probably didn't, But we had like the giant satellite that
you would see like at a TV station. We had
one of those just Planet in our backyard and that.
Oh yeah, and like each little like sub section had
(27:39):
twenty four channels. But when you wanted to go to
another one, you had to click on it, and the
satellite physically would turn and face towards another point in
the sky.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
I know, I miss you. I missed that well.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
When you had that too. The cool thing about it
is when you were watching a game, you could get
the you got the satellite feed itself, meaning like when
they went to break, oh you got them. You would
just hear the announcers talking to themselves like, you know,
because they weren't on the air. But yeah, yeah, but
if exactly, I mean, can you imagine how dangerous that
(28:13):
would be now when everybody's got the ability to record
that type.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
But I guess they knew back then that there wasn't
like commercials playing, so they were just like, hey, keep
it PG.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I'm not exactly sure of the legality of that, Like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
That sounds like a little bit like Louisville Media Box, well,
you know, chiming into the action signal.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I don't know. I just know that somebody brought over
a giant satellite planeted it in our backyard and you
would watch games and you would not always, but sometimes
you would get these uh you know, would pick it
up on the satellite feed and you would get the
game with zero commercials.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Now did before that? Did you have the bunny ears?
Because I was way too young for that, and that
kind of befuddled me as well, because you just kind
of moved them and then you found the right spot
and then the TV picture would come back.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yep. I mean I was telling you yesterday about old
school radio and I was just lucky enough to come
in on the back end of what they called Marty's.
A Marty system. You had this little generic looking box
that you had to hold on to, right, but on
top of your radio station vehicles you have one of
those satellites and if it was a cloudy day, you
had to take the satellite and try to point it
towards an area to where you get a better reception.
(29:18):
And I don't think that we could do like if
KASR existed back in like the nineties. I don't know,
like if we could do I don't think we could
do it. I don't think we could do like a
live remote with the equipment that we had back then.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Man.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I mean, I feel Matt would have a meltdown.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I feel like we'd have less technical difficulties than we
do now.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Though.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Sharnon right, we'd probably have a system, we'd get it down.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
You know.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Now, sometimes tech, you know, digital stuff can just act
up and not work the way it's supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Sure, But back then you were fighting just to get
a clear signal. Like now we just we hook it up,
we click a button and boom, it's just there. You know,
then you had to actually fight just to get a
clear signal to begin with. So I'm just saying like,
I don't I don't think it would have worked out
too well for us.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Clean, Yeah, I made a smooth of a feed. Yeah,
doing something like that.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I'm sure John Short remembers the days of bunny years
on a TV, didn't you, John, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
I'm pretty sure I did. Yeah, because because I didn't
have Kate with the nineteen eighty one, because I read
with four channels, ABCNBC, CBS, And he.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Is, yeah, yeah, that's it me too.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
We didn't have remote controls. I was the I was
the remote control for my dad. He said, hey, get
up and change the channel.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
In the best cartoon is Song with Sounds, Uncle reems remember.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
That, Uncle rep No, I don't, I don't remember that.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
He tells, a rare reference Red Bear and Tar Baby.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Okay, No, I don't. I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
John h nineteen Fortysney film.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, John, What do you
got what's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Well? I heard tell experience everyone have a rest re
crew coming in Navy Canny next week.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Basketball records any, Yeah, for the women's, for the men's,
for men for men's.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Yeah about that?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
No, I have not. I have not heard about that,
have you, Billy?
Speaker 2 (31:09):
No, No, I have not.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
John had Herring team many women's password tore you know
who are going to get for the twenty twenty sixty
seven season. Who's going to give for the next season?
Because I don't know who we're going to get?
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Butt, You're got to call it the Kenny Brooks Show
for that.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I mean before that, John, you know the transfer portal?
Who knows what players are going to want to go
to Kentucky after this year?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
It's good baseball team next year? Fourth fast recruiting plants,
that's good. Who's who all players coming? Even next season?
All the new players be coming in for baseball? Yep.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I could not tell you the players that are coming
out the list. No, I can tell you that he's
got a top five recruiting class coming in. But I
don't follow a lot of high school baseball other than
like Bullet East.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
But we know that Tyler Bell's coming back, John, and
he was really good for Kentucky this last year.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
I think his best freshman in America. I know he
had team runs. I think the best freshman this half season.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Have you been following the College World Series with Louisville.
I mean they had a big game yesterday. I mean, look,
you know, I hate to give them credit, but they're
still in it.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
I know it's I mean, I hope Coast Calin beats
in today and we hope losing Satany's Arkansas.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Okay, Well you got you know SEC on SEC. So
you prefer LSU over Arkansas. Okay, I'm fine with that.
I'm good with that too. All right, John, good to
hear from me. Thank you for the call. Yeah, you
know the College World Series bracket, Billy, I mean, I
understand this double elimination and all that, but if you
look at the bracket, it's very confusing. It's like you
can't hardly figure out who's going where. So, yeah, Louisville
has to beat Coastal Carolina twice twice, and if they do,
(32:47):
they advance to the finals. Is that right? Do I
have it right?
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Yes? That is correct, and talking about a tough task
having to beat a team twice like that in that
sort of stage. But Louisville with a very dramatic victory yesterday,
no doubt.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
And I believe they play again today. I'm not sure
on the time. At two o'clock maybe I think it's
when they play today. So I'll be watching it though.
At least, you know, it's been entertaining most of the
games have, so even though I'll be pulling against the cards.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Well, Omaha is one of those bucket lists I think, yeah,
things for a sports fan, and I'm just disappointed I
wasn't able to do it last year when Kentucky went.
I did get to work the game in which Mitchell
Daily had that walk off home run. I'll never forget
Darren's call too. That was a fun moment to be
a part of. But uh, you know, I next ten years,
you know, I believe in Nick Minjeone getting Kentucky back
(33:34):
to that College World Series.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Oh really, you said in the next how many years?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
In the Within the next ten years, I think Nick
Minjon can probably make it once or twice.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Nim just gonna be there for ten more years. See
that's about me, he nearly. Let's be real. There was
some talk that you know, Menjiell is on not seat
just a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Well he's a young guy, right, and I've seen his
success in the transfer portal. So in today's college landscape,
you got to think he can keep up with that
baseball coaches stale while you know, I mean, I'd hate
to see him go to a bigger job. That might
be what happens, But I mean, wasn't coach. Wasn't coach
Keith Madison there for like twenty something years or is
there for a while? So yeah, so it's uh, you know,
(34:15):
your lifer sometimes.
Speaker 1 (34:17):

more of your phone calls. Come it up next eight five, nine, two,
eight oh twenty two eighty seven. It is the KSR
(35:51):
pre Show. All right, welcome back. Final segment of the
KSR pre Show. Before we get back to the phones.
Billy is ni KaiA Ziggler. You know, he was struck
down for a year of eligibility and now he's appilling
that ruling. I mean, you talk about a guy that
really wants to to come back to college basketball. He's
claiming that his NIL would be between two and four
million dollars if he did come back. So I think
(36:14):
if you're wondering why he wants to come back, I
don't think it's to go to school for another year.
I think he's wanting to cash in on that money
while he can. Well that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
I mean when the alternative is to go play overseas
in Serbia, then you would want to go back and
make millions at Tennessee. But like we're we're you know,
we're on the verge of like Perry Ellis Range. You
remember him at Kansas my.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Gosh, yeah, I mean I think he was there for
like at least ten.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Years, twelve. I think it was the final cow and
he and he looked like it too, with the balding hair.
Get out of here.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Well, I mean again, though we can't really say much.
Our starting quarterback is a seven year guy calls outa.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
But like he's gone through injuries and red shirts and
COVID years. There's a natural process to get to that
seven or eight. So done, four years, he's done.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Does Zigler have any argument other than hey, I could
have made two to four MILLI and if I came
back for another year, give me another year? Like what,
I don't think he was injured at any point where
he had to sit out a year, So like, what
is his argument other than I just want to come
back and other guys are getting five years, why can't I?
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yeah, yeah, I'm not sure on the specifics of this one, Shannon,
but you know, with ANIL and not even the transfer portal,
just people getting more and more years. I think he
thought he was entitled to more.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yeah, it's amazing when Nil has done because you know,
at first players were just dying to get out of college.
Now they're dying to come back to get that money.
Let's go to the Phall House. Let's go to Charlie.
What's up Charlie.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. First time caller here.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
In Jacksonville, Florida.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
Right, I'm yeah, yeah, and unfortunately I run a day
or so behind. I'm listening to your podcast. But you know,
I get what you guys are saying about. Vince is
going to regret going going away from Kentucky and going
to Louisville. But I say, let's let's help him along
that pass and make his name Vince who you know,
(38:00):
and not celebrat him and talked about him so much.
Let's let's let that die a little bit and leave leave.
Vince has to go find his way and realize how
bad he.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Sure, but number one, keep in mind us the summer,
so there's not a whole lot of headlines going on
to begin with number two. He was our top recruiter
and he did. I mean, I'm not going to downplay
what he meant for Kentucky. I see this all the time.
People act like they love Vince one day and then
the second he goes a little bit Wow, he wasn't
that big of a deal anyway. Look, he was slipping
this and that. We weren't saying that when he was
with us. So you know, I do think it's definitely
(38:33):
worth talking about, to be fair, though we haven't brought
it up. Charlie, you're the first one to talk about
Vince Harrow today. Thanks for the call.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
We appreciate you, Charlie. Yeah, I mean a gift from
the sports radio gods, this Vince Marrow news. But yeah,
I wouldn't expect any honoring of Vince until maybe many
years down the line.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Yeah. We hadn't even he said we were talking about
him too much. We hadn't even mentioned his name till
he till he just called, let's go to Josh. What's
up Josh?
Speaker 5 (39:00):
Hey, So it does he I will just say I
know Louisville.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
Is in Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
According to most Kentuckians, uh my, my fellow Kentucky self
saying that as well. But I mean it's still Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
You know what I mean, It's.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Still part of Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
So it's not like he's going to like Illinois or
you know.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
I wish he had of Indiana. Yeah, I mean I
don't think that. I think it makes it worse that
he's staying in Kentucky. Like if it's went anywhere else,
I would say, go, man, it's fine, but you know,
you go to the biggest rival. You can't do that.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Girlfriend, it's worse than a random person.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Exactly exactly.
Speaker 5 (39:46):
I get to there, I get to there.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Well, thanks for the having the first time callers.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
Little all right, a.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Couple of yeah did you say? There was a couple
of additions to the Lo Familia team that were announced
yesterday Billy Khalil Whitney, are you Goodwin? And then I
don't know if you saw this, but they immediately took
their names off of the official website. I think that
was like a information that leaked out. Maybe that wasn't
supposed to be out there yet. Oh wasn't because you know,
(40:13):
they've been kind of trickling these names out one week
at a time to sort of build the anticipation. Both
of those names were announced I think a little prematurely.
They leaked out and now they kind of got taken away.
But you know, the cat's out of the bag now right.
We already know that they're going to be a part
of it. And if you look at this roster, let's
shape it up to be a good roster for a
TBT team. You got Willie Kelly Stein, you got Lamb Liggins,
(40:34):
the Harrison Twins, Ansley Amanor is just announced and now
Archie Gobin, Khalil Whitney, Sean Woods is your coach. That's
it's a pretty solid lineup.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Well, I know if a big name is still coming too,
so be on the lookout for that. But you know,
Annsley loved this fan base. I love that he's going
to get another opportunity to be embraced by it. And
Khalil Whitney, you know, he was somebody that was just
looking for a hug. As we learned a month ago, Joe.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Got about thirty seconds go ahead, he.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
Uh, youre talking about how many people as far as
percentage fans Kentucky fans in Louisville, yep, I believe there's
more Kentucky fans in Louisville than there's Louisville fans. I've
lived in Louisville all my life, and I know Vince
Morol is going to find that out.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Yeah. Yeah, it's definitely a different culture between between Kentucky
and Louisville fans, no doubt. Yeah, thanks to the colleg Joe,

Welcome everyone. It is the KSR Pre Show. It's Wednesday,
June eighteenth. I am Shannon the Dude. I'm in Louisville,
being joined by Billy Rutledge. He's in Lexington and you
can give us a call in the Clark's Bubbat Shop
phone line eight five nine two eight oh twenty two
eighty seven be our whiskey thief call of the day.
KSR Pre Show is always being brought to you by
Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington. The text line, by
(00:23):
the way, is also five two six five six six
five six. Billy tells us this is show number nine
hundred and nineteen. We are creeping up on one thousand, Billy.
You know they always say you have to like do
ten thousand hours to be able to like master something,
become an expert. Yeah, so I feel like, well, we're
(00:45):
not quite at ten thousand, but we're coming up on
one thousand. If we get so, once we get to
one thousand, Billy, we do that ten more times, then
we will master the pre show at that point.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well, yeah, if that's the case, you're mister Miagi at
this point with the amount of shows that you've done,
I mean You've done KSR for how many years at
this point?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Fourteen years? And then you take that that's a two
hour show, two hours, two hours a dayeen years. Let's
do some math here, like okay, so like fifty two
weeks in a year five shows, well not always five shows.
So what do you want to say. Let's let's call
it fifty weeks a year. I'll be a little less
than that with how much vacation to please? Okay, we
(01:23):
go down to forty All right, well, I mean the
early in the early years, I only had like one
week of vacation, so I'm doing an average. I'm going
back to fifty. I'm going to say fifty weeks times fourteen. No,
hang on, fifty weeks? What am I trying to do? Tom?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
This is dangerous radio trying to do math on the air? Right,
hang on? You think you got this? I got this.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Carry the one fifty weeks times five because there's five
work days in the week. That gets me to two fifty. Right,
I'm then going to times up by fourteen. That gets
me to three thy five hundred.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
You follow following you, I'm following you here, show.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I'm showing my work. Here is it. Check it out, teacher.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I mean I don't necessarily agree, but we'll go with
this numbers.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Okay, So thirty five hundred shows is what I'm coming
up with here, and then you got a times up
by two and that gets me to seven thousand hours.
So I guess I'm not even at ten thousand hours
on ks ARE yeh. And radio in general. Absolutely, I've
done probably one hundred thousand hours in radio in general,
but I guess that's only seven thousand hours on ks ARE.
(02:25):
Is that math? Right? Could I be wrong on that?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
You know, you got to think you did you know
Michael Bennett Show for a while there. I mean you've
you've chound it on the Jerry Eve.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Show, done QUMF and Double Q and the Fox going
all the way back to two thousand and god six,
two thousand and six.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
So yeah, I mean you interned for a little while.
So I mean you were you're savvy radio venter in.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Twenty one years. Twenty this August will be twenty one years.
It's crazy, twenty one years? Did you walk?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Go ahead?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
No, no, no, what were you gonna say?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I'm just wondering yesterday, you know, at our show, I
was wondering if you walked out with any of those
meta glasses we were talking about, when you can just
walk up to somebody and look at them and it says,
here is what you're looking at. Those things are cool.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
No, I didn't get them, and I don't necessarily like
people recording on those things without me knowing.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Shannon, I'm a scary thing that people are recording. I
didn't know you could record, yeah, what you're seeing.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I've seen some cool videos of people playing sports with
them on and you get that POV, that first person perspective,
which is cool. But if I'm you know, on the subway, Shannon,
and somebody's just staring at me, I don't want that
to be recorded footage, right. I mean you at least
got to point your camera at my face, so you know,
a little deceptive that you can do a lot of
things on that.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, But I mean, like, let's say I'm sitting here,
You're sitting across from me, and I got my phone
up for all you know, I'm just looking at my phone,
but I could be recording you. And here's the other thing.
When you go out in public, now, I mean, you
should just assume that you're going to be recorded, right,
I mean there's cameras on every street corner, it's just
about right.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, And Matt mentioned that on KSR about two days
ago when he talked about is it possible to get
away with a crime?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I love this topic, by the way, and I think
the answer is absolutely no. You can run for a while.
What's the Johnny Cash song. You can run on for
a long while, but sooner or later God's gonna cut
you down to That's what I feel like that I
have with the criminals that would apply. Yeah, sooner or
later you're gonna get caught.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Well, I mean there's just a camera everywhere now, So,
like you know, I was reading a store where a guy,
uh peed on meat at a grocery store. What yeah,
And so like you know, they they somebody took a
picture of him. You know, they reviewed the security footage.
They eventually got the guy, but he pleaded not guilty
in court, which I didn't understand because it's you're obviously
guilty if you're on camera, pean. But at the same time,
(04:39):
I mean, I think there's a there's a bigger aspect
here is that there's cameras everywhere and I mean, if
you try to get away with anything that they there's
gonna be something that picks you up. And I'm not
even talking about China, where you've got you know, social
scores and like you are tracked with your you know,
your face is tracked with these these uh these cameras.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Well.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
See, if you're crazy enough to commit murder, you're probably
crazy enough to believe that you're not going to get
caught even though you know. I mean, how many how
many people out there have just well, I guess we
don't know, but murdered somebody and just gotten away with it.
I don't think there's very many. I mean, I don't
know if there's a way to tabulate that or figure
that out. My point is, though, like when you go
(05:20):
on the run, all right, and they know that they
that you committed a crime, you may get a while,
get away for like a while, You may get away
for a few weeks, it might even be a few months,
but eventually, like they're going to catch you. Have you
not seen the show I Almost Got Away with It?
I recommended that to Matt if you haven't seen it yet,
that they've got like seven or eight seasons of that show.
And I can't stop watching it. These people who like
(05:42):
commit crimes. Some of them like, we'll escape from jail,
like what happened down in Louisiana a few weeks ago.
By the way, did they catch those guys or are
those guys still on the right?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, yeah, I believe so, them and the former Arkansas
police chief who just made a makeshift outfit and walked out.
So yeah, I mean people are breaking out of prison
pretty sure. Sure, but but they're found yeah right, I
mean it's impossible to hide in today's world. I mean,
you're eventually found in a pizza hut in Honduras, eventually, right,
Eventually you either.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Get hungry, run out of money, or get tired of
sleeping in the woods. Say, you know what, a cell
block doesn't sound so bad after all, right, so eventually
you're gonna get caught. Last night, Billy, we did trivia again.
I'm not going to give a shout out to the
place that we did the trivia at. You know, last
week was general knowledge and I was telling you like
I didn't know any of the answers.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh, and that was my shining moment last week. If
Alexander the.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Green Alexander the great Well last night we went because
I'm like, you know what, this is a topic I
know a lot about. It was Nickelodeon Trivia. Did you
watch Nickelodeon as a kid.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Of course, I mean, I mean grew up on some
shows like SpongeBob, but even like Later than Night, like
Nicked Knight stuff. We were just talking about sitcom dads, right, yeah,
Nick at Knight had had a great lineup. So yeah,
car you network Nickelodeon. There was a golden era of
cartoons back when I was a kid.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Well, I went into Nickelodeon Trivia very very confident and
left defeated. I mean, oh no, our team did, by
the way, our team, without much help for me, did
finish in second place. But I wanted to give you
just a few of the Nickelodeon Trivia questions to see
if you maybe would know the ones that I actually
did know. The other ones, so many of them I
(07:25):
didn't know. I knew like two or three of the answers,
and I want to see if you knew this one. Now,
did you ever watch Legends of the Hidden Temple?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Okay, because this isn't my wheelhouse. You had like the
Silver snakes and the Orange iguanas and the green monkeys
and these you know, these teams all had team names,
but it was always the same every episode, just different contestants.
All right. The question was like the talking rock. Do
you know the name of the talking Rock? No, but
(07:52):
you know what I'm talking about, of course.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, I can hear his voice.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah. The thing that would give like the instructions on
how to play the games. Okay, well they I'll just
give you the answer it was, Oh, mec, I knew
that one.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I didn't have that one. No idea.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Now do you remember the other show on Nickelodeon called Guts.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Guts and Double Dare. Yeah, yeah, held us all right.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
So the other question was, you know, at the end
of the episode of Guts, whoever won had to climb
the big mountain, right, yeah, do you know the name
of the mountain?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
No? No, these are extremely specific, and I guess five
year old Billy wasn't thinking about names. He was just
amazed there was a stone wall talking where there was
a mountain to climb. What was the name of the mountain?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I guess the agro Crag.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Oh boy, see as well.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
See, I don't know that you probably would have done
on the done well on the cartoon part of this,
because when I watched Nickelodeon as a kid, I wasn't
watching the cartoons. I was watching Double Dare and Guts
and Temple Legends of the Hidden Temple. So I mean,
I feel like that's where I could contribute my uh
expertise to the team. But outside of that, I was terrible.
Like I didn't know the answers for like Doug and
salute your shorts so the name of the camp for that,
(09:00):
and I wasn't very good. So I'm just saying, like
I thought that I was going to be really good
going in, maybe I should have gone with Corey Price
and done the Hue trivia instead. That was happening last
night at another bar, but you.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Know, I cleaned up on that.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I'm just trying to get, you know, involved in different
activities this summer, and you know, trivia night felt like
a good way to hang out with friends. But I'm
just I'm not very good at it. I've learned that
over the last couple of weeks. I don't have any
general knowledge and I don't know much about Nickelodeon, not
nearly as much as what I thought I did.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Well. When you don't have Google in front of you,
it's tough. Yeah, bring the bell for myself. I looked
up Legends of the Hidden Temple ninety three to ninety five.
It was on Nickelodeon only two years, only two years,
and but so I think it shows like Fairly Odd
Parents and Rugrats. Yeah, Jimmy Neutron, you probably struggled with
those questions a little.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I did. There was one other one that was, like,
what did they call the programming on Saturday Night?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Do you know that it's not Nick at Knight?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
No? No, that was one of the options though, Yeah,
I was just multiple choice for you. It was yeah,
I don't have I don't have the multiple choice it
was snick. I didn't know that one either. No, I
never heard that.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
But I am sad for children today because you know,
cartoons just aren't the same. I mean, we had such
a great lineup back in the day. I mean I
even go to Cartoon Network and watch a whole wide
rate of shows.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Probably don't remember the USA network that was probably like
I think by the time you were born, they had
changed their their cartoon lineup, but they used to have
the Cartoon Express on USA. I mean, come on, I.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Was just young enough to do like the Saturday morning
cartoon thing, so like the uh you know, like that's
all folks, A little bugs bunny in the morning on Saturdays,
eat some sugary cereal or something like that. I was
getting up that early to watch it. Uh So nowadays,
you know, you just stream it on YouTube, right, I mean,
everything's on demand. You want to watch an old show,
you can find it. But like new content, new kids
(10:58):
shows today, I'm sure it's qualities dropped off quite so.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Not a whole lot of Kentucky news going on. There
are a few things from practice in the early summer
for Kentucky basketball. Yeah, you know there's guy's working out
talking about practice, talking about you know, guys working out
in the gym talk about game. We were talking about
the basketball players wearing those those sports brawl things measures
and you know, monitors your heart rate and I guess
(11:24):
how much effort you're putting in running up and down
the floor. But there's there was a couple of major standouts, Billy,
and I wanted to get your take on this. A
couple of guys that, according to the reports, a couple
of major standouts in the early summer workouts. Jasper Johnson's
won okay, and the other one Melicai Marino. I'm just saying,
(11:47):
you gave me a lot of crap for saying that
that was the guy that I was really excited to
see this year. And according to Pope, he said this
was his quote. They are jaw dropping great.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Muh so, Jasper and Malachi were in Colorado Springs trying
out for the U nineteen USA team, I believe, and
Jasper Johnson has recently made one of the cuts, but
Malachi Moreno did not. There was a statement that came
out that they were as a mutual parting of the
ways between the two parties because Malachi suffered an injury
on Monday. But the controversy is right now that a
(12:21):
Louisville freshman I think it's Michel Brown dunked on Malachi Moreno.
There's a video out there and they had to cut
Malachi because he wasn't playing well enough.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Oh come on now, No, he was hurt. He was hurt,
and you just said it was mutually. They both neither
like ma Reno didn't want to be out there. No,
they come back to get talk about well, that was the.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Comment, and so Louisville fans have been running with that
over the past few days. At the same time, I
believe the first summer practices have been taking place for Kentucky.
Here the practice facilities and a lot of good things
being said about a guy like Colin Chandler, who is
you know he was like last year we only had
Jackson Robinson to describe the system to us. You know,
now we've got four returning guys. The whole coaching staff returns.
(13:02):
I mean, there's a lot of continuity that's going to
help these players this year. But I would love for
Jasper Johnson become to become maybe even a starter. Shannon.
I think Matt's more bullish on him than maybe we are.
But he's not coming to Kentucky to sit the bench.
He could become a really good player this year.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
No, I mean, I think there's a lot of players
that aren't coming here necessarily to sit the bench. But
I mean somebody's got to.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Right Yeah, yeah, but that many talented players. Yeah, there's
gonna be some bench that.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
You mentioned college Colin Chandler, he was talking about Modeia
Bate and you know, called him a jack of all trades.
I think that these guys that are returning players for
Kentucky are a lot are happy that they're getting to
actually play with guys like Modia Bate or Denzel Aberdeen
versus having to play against them this upcoming year. So
it's good to have those guys, you know, in the
(13:50):
transfer portal on the team. Now, speaking of Colin Chandler,
could you imagine Billy Bean back in college. You're playing
for Kentucky. You know, when you play basketball for Kentucky,
you're a rock star on campus, right. Could you imagine
being married in college? I mean, I think that would maybe,
you know, help him with this focus. He's not gonna
be chasing the ladies around campus. But I can't imagine
(14:12):
first of all, just being a Kentucky basketball player and
all the attention that comes along with that. But then
you're married in college. I mean, there's not many guys
over the years that we can say were married while
they were playing at Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah, And it's different if I'm married in college compared
to I think a Kentucky basketball player who is the
big man on.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Campus, right, right, I mean, you're a rock star.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
You know when you meet the one you know, you know,
and so I wish the best of luck who people
who find themselves in those situations. But you know, the
advice given to me was, you know, drop your girlfriend
your senior year of high school because you're not gonna
really you know, you don't want to do the long
distance stuff in college. And that's probably some sound advice
because you don't want to do anything nefarious and and
(14:53):
you know, live a lie Shannon. But you know Kentucky
basketball players and I'm not even talking just recently, just
like all time, you know what I mean, Like when
you get to that level of talent, like you go
on recruiting trips and people are just throwing things at
you share literally allegedly.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah, Alec, I don't know. I've never been on a
recruiting trip for a college basketball so.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
You didn't take the circuit.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I mean, I've been saying, like when I was playing
baseball and I went on my recruiting visit to Campbellsville University,
there weren't exactly ladies throwing themselves at me. That's not
how it worked.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I think that's that's a different level though.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Well, you made like a Division two is it the
same there.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Like, let's say you're a football recruit and you're you
go like to the University of Texas for a visit.
Let me tell you that visit is going to be
filled with many things that the Campbellsville visit did not
have for you.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
But uh, at the same time, all they offered me
at Campbellsville was some really mediocre lunch and they sent
me on my way and that was it.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Well, think about this, I mean, not that it hadn't
been happening at these recruiting trips. Now you can talk
dollars and cents right right, Not that it wasn't like
there was a tough bag in your room when you
got back after the long day of a recruiting trip.
But now it's like, hey, we have an allotment of
twenty million dollars for this athletic department. Now how much
are you willing to give me? So, I mean, the
dynamics is you change?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Man? Like, if we could go back in time, wouldn't
you like just make sure you're you're really good at
basketball or football and just make a team and just
make money and be set for life. God, I would
love to go back. I wouldn't be playing baseball. I
would be doing I don't know, I'd be playing football somehow,
some way.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yeah, but you'd have to be born in today's times, right,
Like he's true, he'd have to be able to hit
the nil time. I think a guy's like Jack Gibbons,
who like couldn't find a place to eat in town.
Like it was like he was trying to find just
food to live. And if someone's dropping all these points
in the National Championship.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And if somebody gave you a cookie and the NCAA
found out, you're suspended for two weeks.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Well, it was like cheese on crackers.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
That's ridiculous. It wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
It was like peanut butter or whatever. It was like, Yeah,
the NCAA deserves everything they got.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Come my, how times have changed. Eight five, nine, two
eighty seven. We're gonna take your calls. We're going to
talk about Zekaia Ziggler, who is hanging out for dear
life to his eligibility.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
He thought we got rid of him.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
No, no, there's a there's a follow up to that story.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
We got to talk a little bit about the TVT
announcement that came out yesterday and Louisville naming streets after
ads who got fired. We gotta gotta talk about that
and a whole lot more. We'll take your calls. Come
it up next here on the ksrpre Show. It's good stuff, man.
I don't know if you listen to Johnny Cash. I
(17:33):
mean I know that you're you're younger, but even the
older stuff that he recorded right before he died, I
think was really good. I was a big fan of that.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I didn't listen to a lot of country as a kid,
but my dad exposed me to a little Johnny Cash
and the concert he did in a prison. Uh so,
you know, I.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Definitely Joaquin Phoenix was amazing, by the way, and that
walk the line yea like his impersonation, and he sounded
I think really close. I mean, take an actor and say, okay,
sing the song yourself and try to sound like Johnny Cash.
That's not easy. But I think that Joaquin Phoenix in
that movie was just incredible.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Well, Phoenix is the right guy for it, right. He's
one of those method actors that take it way too
seriously and they don't drop character when the when the
like the cut comes in for a movie, you know,
he did the joker recently and yeah, and I think
played Lincoln at one point.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
So the Florida Panthers Billy became the Uh. I guess
back to back champions in hockey? Are you are? Do
you care about the Florida Panthers being do you care
about hockey? I know you're a Florida guy, That's why
I ask.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I'm from Florida. Yeah, a big Tampa Bay Lightning fan,
and I care more about hockey than probably most of
the state. But I will say last night's game was
the first game I've watched in the NFL playoffs this year.
I just haven't gotten into it with the Lightning not
in it. Uh. But let me tell you, like, it's
amazing the difference between the two fan bases in the
Stanley Cup because you have the Oilers in Canada who
(18:58):
haven't a Canadian team hasn't won the Cup since like
early nineties, so they're they're in a drought, they're desperate.
This this is what they care about. Yeah, And meanwhile
the Florida Panthers, it's like the fifth thing that they
care about down there in Miami, right, So it's like
they're back to back champs. But how much do they
even really care?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Well, I mean kind of like Lobell. You know, we're
talking about the people in Losville, how much to like
the population of level overall care about sports. You know,
I think MAT's right. You can take the population of Lovell,
cut it in half. Half the people don't care about sports.
I've got plenty of friends who do not care about
any sports, and I think it's so strange, like you
don't care like about any any sports, and maybe it's
(19:35):
just about friends are weird, I don't know. But you
take the population of Loislle, cut it in a half.
Half of them don't care. The other half I think
are divided up between Kentucky and Lovell fans. There's a
ton of Kentucky fans in Lobell. I would say as
much as forty percent of the population that actually does
care about sports in the city of Loslle are Kentucky fans.
So I think maybe that's that's a little bit like
(19:56):
Florida what they're their hockey team.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I kind of agree. I mean, you've you've lived a
long time in Louisville, so you would know. But you know,
I also think Louisville is unique because there's no professional
sports team, so the people that do care about sports
are very passionate, right, I mean, when there are no
pro sports teams, there's just a different passion when it
comes to your college team. But I think generally there
is a much bigger part of Louisville compared to Lexington
(20:19):
that don't care about sports. Sure, but nevertheless they're still
naming city streets after athletes.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
That's right? Yeah, I mean, come on, what are they
do it?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Like?
Speaker 1 (20:30):
You fired the ad right or of the board I
guess voted him out. However that worked. I can't remember
how it all played out, but regardless, Tom George was
not here because Louisville decided they didn't want him to
be the ad any longer. And now they're naming a
street after the guy, Like what are you doing? Could
you imagine like firing a guy and then coming back
a few years later and going, let's name the street
after him. How does that work?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Well? I mean I was gonna link in it, liking
it to a Kentucky coach, but I don't think Billy
g is going to get a street named now for
him any time.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Absolutely not, you.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Know, coated, complicated, legacy with Tom Jurch. I mean he
got Louisville into the ACC. I mean, he helped, you know,
bring a lot to that city. But what I remember
of Tom Jurch is him calling the station telling people
they couldn't say certain things, right. So, I mean it
was just a it's just a weird way to look
at it. But at the same time, you know, the
city has started this initiative, not exactly the school, and
(21:24):
so that I think the school is on board. But
he will be honored. Do you think Mitch Barnhardt will
have a city street named after him?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Possibly? But I mean I could see that being something
that's deserved, right. It's not like he was ran out
of here in shame because he was the ad when
we had a stripper scandal at Kentucky. I think there's
a big difference between saying does Mitch Barnhardt deserve a
street named after him? Versus does Tom Jurich. Sure he
was a great ad when he was here, but let's
also remember why he's not at Leivelle anymore. Wasn't on
(21:50):
his own.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah, well, they've got to welcome back somebody. You know,
Rick Patino's out here donating to the UK football team
and saying Kentucky's always been Camlot. I mean they got
to welcome back somebody, so I guess it's your.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
DraftKings is where you need to go right now to
bet on the NBA Finals. There may only be one
more game left. You can do it with promo code KSR.
Bet five dollars, get three hundred dollars in bonus bets
if your first bet hits that is on DraftKings with
promo code KSR, or the crown is yours. We're going
to take your calls. Coming up after the break. Eight
five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. It's
Shannon the Dude and Billy Retledge. This is the KSR
(22:22):
pre Show, Welcome Back. It is the KSR pre Show.
Shannon the Dude, Billy Releage eight five nine two eight
oh twenty two eighty seven. We're going to go to
the phones in just a minute. But first, Billy, I
got to talk about the new beer can label that
just came out yesterday. I finally got the green light
to post that on social media if you haven't seen
it yet. At Shannon of the Dude, I just want
to brag on the artist Ben Runko is an amazing artist.
(22:46):
And this is coming from somebody. Look, I can't draw anything,
so I'm I'm sort of amazed by anybody with any
sort of artistic ability at all. But he is on
like another level. Like I've seen some good artists, this
dude is like one of the best local artists I've
ever seen. So I want to give a shout out
to him and shout out to Country Boy Brewing. You'll
(23:06):
be able to see that beer can label soon out
in Kroger stores in late August early September. But he
kind of here's the thing, Billy. We just gave him
an idea. We say, okay, here's the three different things
that I do radio, rustling, rock and roll. Put those
three things together on a beer can like a calash.
(23:27):
That's the only direction that we gave this guy. And
what he in the finished product is what you see there.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
No, I really like the color scheme. There's almost like
a mirror reflection on a lot of it. There's like
some blinding lights too. You even got me on the
beer can in my ABG shirt. You know that's year
and on. There's Billy that's training the dude. So I mean,
I really do like it. I would tell you if
I didn't. Yeah, And I like the beer the hazel
nut taste in it because it's different than the original
(23:55):
Shannon the Dude.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
It's very unique. I don't know too many beers that
actually have hazel nut in it. And that's the you know,
the reason we had to pivot from what it was
originally because it tasted very close to their other beer,
Shotgun Wedding. We didn't want to have the two beers
be so similar that people couldn't tell the difference.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
So and you just loved hazel nut creamer so much
that they asked you what you wanted in there your beer,
and you're like, hazel nut.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Well, then they said, yeah, like what else do you
like to drink? Like, what do you I was like, well,
I drink coffee. They said, well, what do you put
in your coffee? I was like, well, a lot of cream?
They said, what kind of cream? Hazel nut? So like,
all right, why don't we take that idea and put
some hazel nut in a beer? And I don't think
I've ever had another. I'm sure they exist. I'm not
saying they don't, but as someone who has consumed a
(24:40):
beer or two in my time. I don't think I've
ever had another hazel nut beer. So it's a very
unique beer. That's the other thing too, Like when you're
trying to create something from the ground up, you don't
want to make something that's just like every other beer
that's out there. Sure, yeah, so you got to sort
of think outside the box. And two Country Boys Bruins
credit they did that, and I'm just again, I'm just
(25:00):
blown away with the artwork. It's incredible. I can't draw
anything past a stick figure. That's fine.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I'm the same. I'm the same way. Like maybe a
little sun in the corner or something, but that's that's
about it. But Country Boy giving me the green light
that they'll be supplying the beer at my wedding. So
maybe a little shit in the dude brew okay at
the wedding.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah absolutely, Maybe I'll come there and be your bartender.
I can crack open your No.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I don't want you work and I want you having
a good time.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Okay, what's the date on that again?
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Twenty forty of twenty twenty six. They got a long
way to go.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Have you done any planning? By the way, like I've
never been married, So how far out do you have
to plan? Are you using all this time to plan
or are you just stalling? Like what's why We've.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Been reaching out to venders a lot recently. You know,
we're not setting out invitations or anything like that because
we're obviously a year away. But Shannon, I'm going to
limit the wedding talk. After I stuck my foot in
my mouth a couple of weeks ago, I look, I
know you did so much trouble.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah. Yeah, you're talking out the in laws or the
future in laws, and.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I don't know about what it was about that day.
I just needed to unload a little bit, and it
was not not a good idea.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
See. I like catching you when you're in a mood
like that, because I know I could get some.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Stuff to do it. That day, you were like, what's wrong, Billy,
that's what's going on. I'm like, I'm nothing, I'm fine.
And then I proceed to like ruin my relationship with
my in laws on the air.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
So yeah, and they're not even your in laws yet.
I mean you still got you know, uh what, fourteen
months I guess to mend your relationship with them before
you even get married. So yeah, that's one good thing.
All right, let's take some calls. We haven't taken a
call yet. Let's go to l D.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
What's up from Tennessee Boys?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
By the Boys, it's Space's Ghost.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Do you remember that.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Ghost?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Oh, Space Ghost? Yeah, I guess on the cartoon at work.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Yeah, yeah, nineteen sixty six.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
No, not from the cartoon that worked from nineteen sixty six.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
They read it was a little before.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Yeah, yeah, because I'm half a hundred y'all remember the
thunder Cats.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Oh yeah, the Barbary Young do.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
The Barbarys from that?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
I just gonna give y'all how when I was growing up,
I just had the black one.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
TV.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Went from that through the satellite disc and man's world changed.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Oh. I can remember when we got like the satellite dish,
thanks for the cauality. We went from regular TV billy
to the giant satellite. Did you ever have that? You
probably didn't, But we had like the giant satellite that
you would see like at a TV station. We had
one of those just Planet in our backyard and that.
Oh yeah, and like each little like sub section had
(27:39):
twenty four channels. But when you wanted to go to
another one, you had to click on it, and the
satellite physically would turn and face towards another point in
the sky.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
I know, I miss you. I missed that well.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
When you had that too. The cool thing about it
is when you were watching a game, you could get
the you got the satellite feed itself, meaning like when
they went to break, oh you got them. You would
just hear the announcers talking to themselves like, you know,
because they weren't on the air. But yeah, yeah, but
if exactly, I mean, can you imagine how dangerous that
(28:13):
would be now when everybody's got the ability to record
that type.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
But I guess they knew back then that there wasn't
like commercials playing, so they were just like, hey, keep
it PG.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I'm not exactly sure of the legality of that, Like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
That sounds like a little bit like Louisville Media Box, well,
you know, chiming into the action signal.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I don't know. I just know that somebody brought over
a giant satellite planeted it in our backyard and you
would watch games and you would not always, but sometimes
you would get these uh you know, would pick it
up on the satellite feed and you would get the
game with zero commercials.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Now did before that? Did you have the bunny ears?
Because I was way too young for that, and that
kind of befuddled me as well, because you just kind
of moved them and then you found the right spot
and then the TV picture would come back.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yep. I mean I was telling you yesterday about old
school radio and I was just lucky enough to come
in on the back end of what they called Marty's.
A Marty system. You had this little generic looking box
that you had to hold on to, right, but on
top of your radio station vehicles you have one of
those satellites and if it was a cloudy day, you
had to take the satellite and try to point it
towards an area to where you get a better reception.
(29:18):
And I don't think that we could do like if
KASR existed back in like the nineties. I don't know,
like if we could do I don't think we could
do it. I don't think we could do like a
live remote with the equipment that we had back then.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Man.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I mean, I feel Matt would have a meltdown.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I feel like we'd have less technical difficulties than we
do now.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Though.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Sharnon right, we'd probably have a system, we'd get it down.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
You know.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Now, sometimes tech, you know, digital stuff can just act
up and not work the way it's supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Sure, But back then you were fighting just to get
a clear signal. Like now we just we hook it up,
we click a button and boom, it's just there. You know,
then you had to actually fight just to get a
clear signal to begin with. So I'm just saying like,
I don't I don't think it would have worked out
too well for us.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Clean, Yeah, I made a smooth of a feed. Yeah,
doing something like that.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I'm sure John Short remembers the days of bunny years
on a TV, didn't you, John, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
I'm pretty sure I did. Yeah, because because I didn't
have Kate with the nineteen eighty one, because I read
with four channels, ABCNBC, CBS, And he.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Is, yeah, yeah, that's it me too.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
We didn't have remote controls. I was the I was
the remote control for my dad. He said, hey, get
up and change the channel.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
In the best cartoon is Song with Sounds, Uncle reems remember.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
That, Uncle rep No, I don't, I don't remember that.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
He tells, a rare reference Red Bear and Tar Baby.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Okay, No, I don't. I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
John h nineteen Fortysney film.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, John, What do you
got what's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Well? I heard tell experience everyone have a rest re
crew coming in Navy Canny next week.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Basketball records any, Yeah, for the women's, for the men's,
for men for men's.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Yeah about that?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
No, I have not. I have not heard about that,
have you, Billy?
Speaker 2 (31:09):
No, No, I have not.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
John had Herring team many women's password tore you know
who are going to get for the twenty twenty sixty
seven season. Who's going to give for the next season?
Because I don't know who we're going to get?
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Butt, You're got to call it the Kenny Brooks Show
for that.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I mean before that, John, you know the transfer portal?
Who knows what players are going to want to go
to Kentucky after this year?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
It's good baseball team next year? Fourth fast recruiting plants,
that's good. Who's who all players coming? Even next season?
All the new players be coming in for baseball? Yep.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I could not tell you the players that are coming
out the list. No, I can tell you that he's
got a top five recruiting class coming in. But I
don't follow a lot of high school baseball other than
like Bullet East.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
But we know that Tyler Bell's coming back, John, and
he was really good for Kentucky this last year.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
I think his best freshman in America. I know he
had team runs. I think the best freshman this half season.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Have you been following the College World Series with Louisville.
I mean they had a big game yesterday. I mean, look,
you know, I hate to give them credit, but they're
still in it.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
I know it's I mean, I hope Coast Calin beats
in today and we hope losing Satany's Arkansas.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Okay, Well you got you know SEC on SEC. So
you prefer LSU over Arkansas. Okay, I'm fine with that.
I'm good with that too. All right, John, good to
hear from me. Thank you for the call. Yeah, you
know the College World Series bracket, Billy, I mean, I
understand this double elimination and all that, but if you
look at the bracket, it's very confusing. It's like you
can't hardly figure out who's going where. So, yeah, Louisville
has to beat Coastal Carolina twice twice, and if they do,
(32:47):
they advance to the finals. Is that right? Do I
have it right?
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Yes? That is correct, and talking about a tough task
having to beat a team twice like that in that
sort of stage. But Louisville with a very dramatic victory yesterday,
no doubt.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
And I believe they play again today. I'm not sure
on the time. At two o'clock maybe I think it's
when they play today. So I'll be watching it though.
At least, you know, it's been entertaining most of the
games have, so even though I'll be pulling against the cards.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Well, Omaha is one of those bucket lists I think, yeah,
things for a sports fan, and I'm just disappointed I
wasn't able to do it last year when Kentucky went.
I did get to work the game in which Mitchell
Daily had that walk off home run. I'll never forget
Darren's call too. That was a fun moment to be
a part of. But uh, you know, I next ten years,
you know, I believe in Nick Minjeone getting Kentucky back
(33:34):
to that College World Series.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Oh really, you said in the next how many years?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
In the Within the next ten years, I think Nick
Minjon can probably make it once or twice.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Nim just gonna be there for ten more years. See
that's about me, he nearly. Let's be real. There was
some talk that you know, Menjiell is on not seat
just a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Well he's a young guy, right, and I've seen his
success in the transfer portal. So in today's college landscape,
you got to think he can keep up with that
baseball coaches stale while you know, I mean, I'd hate
to see him go to a bigger job. That might
be what happens, But I mean, wasn't coach. Wasn't coach
Keith Madison there for like twenty something years or is
there for a while? So yeah, so it's uh, you know,
(34:15):
your lifer sometimes.
Speaker 1 (34:17):

more of your phone calls. Come it up next eight five, nine, two,
eight oh twenty two eighty seven. It is the KSR
(35:51):
pre Show. All right, welcome back. Final segment of the
KSR pre Show. Before we get back to the phones.
Billy is ni KaiA Ziggler. You know, he was struck
down for a year of eligibility and now he's appilling
that ruling. I mean, you talk about a guy that
really wants to to come back to college basketball. He's
claiming that his NIL would be between two and four
million dollars if he did come back. So I think
(36:14):
if you're wondering why he wants to come back, I
don't think it's to go to school for another year.
I think he's wanting to cash in on that money
while he can. Well that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
I mean when the alternative is to go play overseas
in Serbia, then you would want to go back and
make millions at Tennessee. But like we're we're you know,
we're on the verge of like Perry Ellis Range. You
remember him at Kansas my.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Gosh, yeah, I mean I think he was there for
like at least ten.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Years, twelve. I think it was the final cow and
he and he looked like it too, with the balding hair.
Get out of here.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Well, I mean again, though we can't really say much.
Our starting quarterback is a seven year guy calls outa.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
But like he's gone through injuries and red shirts and
COVID years. There's a natural process to get to that
seven or eight. So done, four years, he's done.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Does Zigler have any argument other than hey, I could
have made two to four MILLI and if I came
back for another year, give me another year? Like what,
I don't think he was injured at any point where
he had to sit out a year, So like, what
is his argument other than I just want to come
back and other guys are getting five years, why can't I?
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yeah, yeah, I'm not sure on the specifics of this one, Shannon,
but you know, with ANIL and not even the transfer portal,
just people getting more and more years. I think he
thought he was entitled to more.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yeah, it's amazing when Nil has done because you know,
at first players were just dying to get out of college.
Now they're dying to come back to get that money.
Let's go to the Phall House. Let's go to Charlie.
What's up Charlie.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. First time caller here.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
In Jacksonville, Florida.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
Right, I'm yeah, yeah, and unfortunately I run a day
or so behind. I'm listening to your podcast. But you know,
I get what you guys are saying about. Vince is
going to regret going going away from Kentucky and going
to Louisville. But I say, let's let's help him along
that pass and make his name Vince who you know,
(38:00):
and not celebrat him and talked about him so much.
Let's let's let that die a little bit and leave leave.
Vince has to go find his way and realize how
bad he.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Sure, but number one, keep in mind us the summer,
so there's not a whole lot of headlines going on
to begin with number two. He was our top recruiter
and he did. I mean, I'm not going to downplay
what he meant for Kentucky. I see this all the time.
People act like they love Vince one day and then
the second he goes a little bit Wow, he wasn't
that big of a deal anyway. Look, he was slipping
this and that. We weren't saying that when he was
with us. So you know, I do think it's definitely
(38:33):
worth talking about, to be fair, though we haven't brought
it up. Charlie, you're the first one to talk about
Vince Harrow today. Thanks for the call.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
We appreciate you, Charlie. Yeah, I mean a gift from
the sports radio gods, this Vince Marrow news. But yeah,
I wouldn't expect any honoring of Vince until maybe many
years down the line.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Yeah. We hadn't even he said we were talking about
him too much. We hadn't even mentioned his name till
he till he just called, let's go to Josh. What's
up Josh?
Speaker 5 (39:00):
Hey, So it does he I will just say I
know Louisville.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
Is in Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
According to most Kentuckians, uh my, my fellow Kentucky self
saying that as well. But I mean it's still Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
You know what I mean, It's.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Still part of Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
So it's not like he's going to like Illinois or
you know.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
I wish he had of Indiana. Yeah, I mean I
don't think that. I think it makes it worse that
he's staying in Kentucky. Like if it's went anywhere else,
I would say, go, man, it's fine, but you know,
you go to the biggest rival. You can't do that.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Girlfriend, it's worse than a random person.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Exactly exactly.
Speaker 5 (39:46):
I get to there, I get to there.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Well, thanks for the having the first time callers.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
Little all right, a.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Couple of yeah did you say? There was a couple
of additions to the Lo Familia team that were announced
yesterday Billy Khalil Whitney, are you Goodwin? And then I
don't know if you saw this, but they immediately took
their names off of the official website. I think that
was like a information that leaked out. Maybe that wasn't
supposed to be out there yet. Oh wasn't because you know,
(40:13):
they've been kind of trickling these names out one week
at a time to sort of build the anticipation. Both
of those names were announced I think a little prematurely.
They leaked out and now they kind of got taken away.
But you know, the cat's out of the bag now right.
We already know that they're going to be a part

it's a pretty solid lineup.

so be on the lookout for that. But you know,
Annsley loved this fan base. I love that he's going
to get another opportunity to be embraced by it. And
Khalil Whitney, you know, he was somebody that was just
looking for a hug. As we learned a month ago, Joe.

lived in Louisville all my life, and I know Vince
Morol is going to find that out.
