Welcome everyone. It is the KSR pre Show. It's Tuesday,
June twenty fourth. I am Shannon of the Dude be
enjoined by Billy Rutledge. Give us a call on the
Clark's Puppet Shop full line at eight five nine two
eight oh twenty two eighty seven.

Five O two two sixty five six six five six.
The KSR pre Show is always being brought to you
by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington, Beer whiskey, Thief
Call of the day, and it is going to be
another hot one out there.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Billy. All week long, I was looking at the.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Highs for each day. It's like ninety six, ninety six,
ninety six. It's like a copy and paste for every
single day this week. So if you got to be outside,
make sure you stay hydrated and uh take care of
yourself because it is going to be a hot week.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Stay hydrated. That's right.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
I've already got a a Liquid IV going this morning, Shannon,
I got coffee and liquid IV.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
What's liquid IV? Is that like something that I mean
do you You don't inject it into you?

Speaker 4 (00:54):
No, No, it's a powder that you'll put it into
like a water bottle, okay, and it helps you stay hydrated.
They have things that help you with energy and hydration
and uh uh really helpful on hot days like this.
So absolutely she'd do something like that because coffee is
just going to dehydrate you.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
But Shannon, I've got to have my coffee.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
That's the thing.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
This stuff I know, right, And and it's like your
morning routine. Now you have to have your coffee. You
have to have the cream. It's more or less cream
and sugar and a little bit of coffee. I've seen
your I've seen your ratio on how you mix your coffee.
It's not not much coffee involved.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
No, You're you're right, Bunky Rooster. You got me on
a great path. And now I've I've got to have
it every morning. So you know, it's just it's just
become a thing with me, Shannon.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
But it's showtime. We're ready to go.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
I would it be weird if I wore eye black
to the studio one day?

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Did you ever?

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Did you ever wear eye black before you went out
there before a big game or something?

Speaker 2 (01:46):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:46):
No, And I've always questioned the legitimacy of does that
actually work?

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Oh? Come on, it does right.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Do you really think that the black under the eye
reflects the sun off of you and is basically as
good as wearing shades?

Speaker 3 (01:59):
It was. That's what they think. That's what they say.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
That's what they say. But do you actually believe it?

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Well, I mean I did for years. I mean I
wore it every day, Yeah, before tackle football practice. Yeah,
because you wanted to look cool though. Oh that was
the other thing, right, It was the intimidation factor. I
didn't smear it like some guys do. You see guys like,
you know, completely just cover their face. They go a
little too far. But maybe one day I'll bring back
the EyeBlack for the preci.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
You see some football guys do it.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
It's mostly a baseball thing, though, it is, but I
did have one year in Little League. I did have
for you that are Atlanta Braves fans or maybe just
you know, fans of baseball. Back in the nineties, you
might remember there were these classes you could flip them up.
There were sunglasses, but you could flip them up if
you need it too, And I had some of those.
I think Jeff Blouseer and Mark Lemke from the Atlanta

(02:44):
Braves or these things. I thought, oh that's cool. I
got to have some of those. So you know, as
a kid, you emulate all the things that you see
on TV in the big leagues, and I had to
have those.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
But I never know when did that help, Like, I guess,
I mean, you wouldn't do that when you're out in
the field, right, that was just I guess when you
got back in the dugout, maybe I had a little cloudy.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
You could take your sunglasses off.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Well, I think that you would have them flipped up,
and then if there was a fly ball, you could
flip them down.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
See so fly ball and you're worried about your sunglasses,
you know, flipping your glass.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
You don't want sunglasses, Like if you're an infielder, if
you're taking a ground ball, you don't need sunglasses on.
But if it's a pop up boom, you flip them down.
Now all of a sudden, you got your shades on.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Man, I mean I had the blue helmet, the EyeBlack on.
I mean I used to do the peel am I
black for a while, but then we got the paint
and that was just a whole different thing. So, I mean,
you can you can imagine a young Billy R Sports
taking it way too seriously and literally.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Oh yeah, kind of kind of like you take everything
way too seriously now right.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Well, I mean there's a Haybale toss exactly. That's my point.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
To take a list is exactly my point there, it is,
That is my point. Now Tomorrow we're doing on KSR
our Unpopular Opinion Day, and I you know, well, maybe
you get to yours, since I don't know if you're
going to have your unpopular opinion on KSR tomorrow, maybe
you can do it on the pre show tomorrow, or
maybe Matt'll let you have your unpopular opinion if you're
going to be in the studio, So we'll hang on

(04:00):
to that.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
I feel like, Billy, basically you could just.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Give any opinion and it would be popularion because all
your opinions are unpopular. So I feel like this is
gonna be your day to shine tomorrow on KSR.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Yeah, I mean, Billy, our sports day on KSR tomorrow,
whether it be using cell phones after natural disasters or
wishing best of luck to former assistant coaches, you never
know what's what I'm gonna say next, Shannon, So you're right,
I'll save that for tomorrow, maybe maybe last segment of
the pre show as we get ready to hand it
off to KSR. But you know, these summer shows, we

(04:31):
start to get to the point where I have no
idea what we're going to talk about, whether it be
I black to start the show. You know, the pre
show we have an interesting dynamic where we switch off
who brings the topics each day. You know, we both contribute,
but usually the ship is guided by a different person
each day. Do you like bringing the topics and steering
the ship or do you like it the inverse when
it doesn't make any difference to me?

Speaker 1 (04:51):
I mean, I guess you know, the easy answer would be,
even though I really don't carry the way, it's a
lot easier to not have to drive the ship because
I could just sit here and just, you know, you
kind of guide the conversation.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
I can fall last prep Yeah, exactly, those days exactly.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
But like when there are days like this and there's
just not a whole lot going on, which, by the way,
we'll do an ask anything day, So get your calls
in eighty five, nine, two, eight, twenty two, eighty seven
at Shannon the Dude and at Billy are sports on Twitter,
But yeah, when there's just days like this, just not
a whole lot going on. So you know, we'll talk
a little bit of everything today like we always do,

(05:25):
and sometimes these are my favorite shows anyway.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
But I'll tell you, Billy, it didn't get.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Out yesterday and do a whole lot outside after after
the weekend, I was telling you I was doing all
the yard work and sweating my butt off.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
So yesterday tried to stay inside.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
I did watch my speaking a baseball Atlanta Braves beat
the Mets once again.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
That's four straight over the Mets.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
If the Braves could just play the Mets every single game,
I feel like we would be leading the National League
East instead of being like nine or ten games back.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
So they won again last night.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
But you know what I was looking at, like, Okay,
what are some things we could talk about if I
said to you right now, Billy, do you know who
leads the major leagues in home runs?

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Do you know who that is?

Speaker 3 (06:06):
No? No, I don't think.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
I mean Aaron Judges has just been phenomenal because you
have the lead in home runs.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
I'm not sure. I guess that's my inexperience.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yes, I saw who the leader was this morning, and
it was a name I had never even heard of.
I thought that it may have been like a made
up name on RBI Baseball RBIA.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Now you're bringing it back.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
His name is.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Cal Raleigh, all right, and he plays for the Seattle Mariners.
Now why am I bringing this up? Well, he's got
thirty two home runs already. And here's why I think
this is interesting. Thirty two home runs right now. Barry Bonds,
of course holds the all time single season home run record,
right it's seventy three.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
And I went back and I looked it up.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
I thought, you know, thirty two seems like a lot
of home runs for this time of the year already,
you know, before the All Star break. So by comparison,
Barry Bonds, the year that he broke the single season
home run record, had thirty nine home runs the All
Star break, all right, the All Star break is now
three weeks away. He's already got thirty two home runs.
He just needs seven more home runs to be on

(07:10):
pace with Barry Bonds, the year that he broke the
single season home run record. Billy, and I didn't even
know this guy existed until this morning.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
That's his name.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Again, cal Rally never even heard of the guy.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
And it kind of goes to, like what we've talked
about before, there are guys in baseball that you know,
if you're even more than a casual fan, you may
not have even heard of.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
And I don't know why that is.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Like back in the day, like in the nineties, I
felt like you knew everybody.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Tom Leach and out were talking about this before the show.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Today, you know, when they introduced the All Stars at
the All Star Game in baseball, you knew every single
guy that was introduced. Now there's guys like cal Rally
who might end up having more home runs at the
All Star Break than Barry Bonds the year he broke
the record, and I have never even heard of the
guy until this morning.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
It's pretty crazy.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
Is there anything too? Like when you were a kid
you were trading baseball car maybe you watched it much
moreter so we followed the sport a little bit more
than we do today, you know, with everything so much
going on in today society, my cell phone is always
in front of my face. It's you know, I don't
always sit back and watch a baseball game or look
at my trading cards as much as I used to.

(08:21):
So maybe there's just a there's so many different things
that are fighting for my attention nowadays that we are,
I guess, not experts in any fields as much as
maybe we used to be when we had the time
to put into it. But also I also think there's
a factor of maybe even minor league Shannon. These guys
go to the minor leagues, you don't know where they're
at for three or four years, and then they finally

(08:43):
pop up on a team and start having the success.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
But I think there's something to it.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
I mean, remember the late nineties and that home run
race between McGuire and Sosa and No, Yeah, I mean
that was just just it was different. Man, Baseball needed that,
and I felt like the entire country was watching. Now
I feel like it's maybe in the background for even
the most casual fans at this point.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
NASCAR is kind of the same way.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Like back in the day, you can name like all
the NASCAR drivers, and now I don't even know who's
even driving anymore.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
I don't even pay attention to it.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
I think there is something to be said for your
point to where now we're just our attention has pulled
so many different ways because of social media and our phones,
and you know there's you know, everybody's on various outlets
of social media and like into different things. Back then,
it was kind of like, Okay, this is what's on TV,
this is what you're gonna watch. You kind of followed

(09:35):
along sports because that's what you were forced to watch.
And now you've got a million channels and you get
the box and you can watch anything you want, and
not everybody's attention is on one specific thing. It's kind
of just scattered out among many different things. Like TV shows.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
I feel like the country used to watch those together, right,
like we all waited for the finale or everybody watched
the finale as seigin film.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
I don't think that happens anymore.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
You have releases like Sunday Nights and Game of Thrones
was doing their thing or The Last of Us now,
but uh, it's just not the same, right, It's uh,
it really isn't the same. But cal Rawley, now you
got me on you got me on the Seattle Mariners
fand Wagon. I'd him challenge Berry Bonds's record.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Would it be something?

Speaker 6 (10:16):
Though?

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Wouldn't it be something if he ended up breaking Barry
Bonds all time record now and it's just like I
didn't even know existed.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
That that's that would be very impressive. I also think
it's really impressive the the viral videos of people doing
the nine to nine to nine challenge at baseball games.
You know what that is, Shannon, No, explain what is it? Okay,
the nine to nine to nine challenges. You go to
a baseball game and you eat nine hot dogs and
drink nine beers in nine innings.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Shannon, that feels excessive.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
I mean, I mean most people are tapping out around
the sixth of the seven.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
And don't they cut you off at ballparks by the
seventh inning stretch? Isn't that the cutoff? So then yeah,
I guess you got to buy two at the sun.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
Had a double or triple up to make sure you
get enough beers to get there. I mean, you could
finish before nine innings if you'd like, But you know,
most end up, you know, turning like two Mimosa Billy
and having a tough time with the beers in the
hot dogs. But that is a viral challenge that's gone
on the Internet for the last couple of years.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Unless you're there on dollar beer night. That's gonna get
very expensive. I remember being at a Yankees game, right,
I was at a Yankees game and got like a
large coke and like, I think like two or three
chicken tenders and some froes. It was like, I don't
know exactly, but it was like if I think it
was like thirty bucks. I'm going good grief, like really
for this. But yeah, I've never taught to do that
challenge before. Maybe you and I, Well, I'm not going

(11:36):
to do the challenge.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
But I want to enjoy the game. Yeah, that does
seem like torture. I'm not Joey Chestnut. I'm not trying
to put this down from my livelihood.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
And we know your lack of tolerance for alcohol, so
there's no way that would work. You would be done
by the third inning.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
I'll do the two to two nine.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
There you go. Yeah, that's that's more your speed.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
It'll be better.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
So the NBA drafts coming out tomorrow night, we will
be all watching that together. You know, there's some talk
of of Kobe Brea being selected, but what do we
think about Jackson Robinson and Amari Williams. Do they get
do they get picked by the end of the second
round or do you think that maybe they end up,
you know, signing with the team, end up in the
G League.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
What do you think is the future?

Speaker 1 (12:14):
If I had to make it, go on record for
Kobe Brea, Jackson Robinson, and Amari Williams. How many of
those guys get picked? How many of them don't? What
do you think happens tomorrow night.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Well, I'm not going to look at this as you know,
what team is the best fit for Jackson Robinson or
Amari Williams. I'm just gonna look at the game overall
of the NBA and think is there a place for
those guys in the NBA?

Speaker 6 (12:36):
Now?

Speaker 4 (12:37):
For Kobe Breya, absolutely, I mean a spot up shooter,
a grade of a shooter as he is. If he
can get better defensively, I think he can hold his
own and will be drafted.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Amaro.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
You know, I'm not sure, you know, they want a
big that can pass.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
But you know we've seen, you.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
Know, a lot less importance placed on the bigs in
the modern day NBA, and you know, would he be
the five or would he be more of a four.
It's I think there's still a lot of questions that
would have to do with the Mario even more so
than Oscar, who I thought was a shoe in to
be an NBA player, and yet he's still stuck.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
That's a thing. Man like Oscar still don't understand how
somebody couldn't find a spot for him in the NBA.
But here he is in the G League. You know,
no big deal, just grabbing twenty five rebounds every night.
But right not goodna have to play in the league.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
So while you know Amari was, you know, a unicorn
and perfect for Mark Pope's system, I just don't know
if that translates to the NBA as as well as
maybe he would like it.

Speaker 6 (13:31):
Now.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
Jackson Robinson's the question mark for me because you know,
at times he took over Shannon I mean as the
elder statesman on the team early on in the year.
I mean, Entucky really needed Jackson Robinson. And you know,
even at times where he didn't score a lot of points,
Mark Pope was praising his defense. So that's somebody that
can bring a lot to a team. So if you
want me to be optimistic, I will say, yes, Jackson

(13:52):
Robinson could find a place in the NBA.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
I'm a little doubtful on Amari Williams.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
But will Jackson Robinson be drafted though, That's when I'm
asking will he be drafted?

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Will we hear his name by the end of the
second round.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
I'm gonna say no.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
Okay, I think that, you know, with the injury, you know,
hopefully he's doing well in workouts. But I definitely do
think that that it does hurt him not having as
much game tape late.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
So you're going no on Jackson, You're going no on Amari, Kobe, Kobe. Okay,
see then, and then the knock on Kobe is he
can't play defense. He can shoot the ball, but if
he gives up the three that he just made on
the opposite end, how they don't play defense.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
In the fourth quarter anyway?

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah, I hear that all the time, and I know
that I feel like that used to be true. But
I don't know, man, I don't watch a whole lot
of NBA, but the games I have watched, even the
regular season, I feel like there's been more of an
emphasis on defense than maybe there used to be. Now,
if you're watching the All Star Game, of course there's
no defense.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
But but outside of.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
That, I feel like the defense in the NBA overall
has stepped up over the year.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
Yeah, during winning time, Yeah, in the fourth quarter. I
mean you can turn the game on in the fourth
and you can you watch the entire game when it
comes to the regular season, but.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
The playoffs different story.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
You see how much it means to the those guys
every single minute.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
But we'll see.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
I'm going to say Kobe gets picked. I'm going to
say Jackson Robinson gets picked. I even had a Mary
sneaking in at the end yesterday when we were talking
about this on KSR.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
I'm kind of I don't know.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
I could see him going, But then again, if he
didn't go at the end of the second round, I
wouldn't be surprised. But I think he's I think he's
been on the boards, like on the projections at the
end of the second round, depending on which source you
go to, but on a couple of them, I've seen
his name.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
So it's funny.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
We talk about a Mari and I think about his
time at Kentucky and the first thing that comes to
my mind shoting.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Weeda bix Yep.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
I don't know why did you ever even have any
of the wied to bix because wasn't that.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
He's no.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
The thing.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
The only opportunity I had to have weed to bicks was,
uh where was oh yeah, in Indianapolis. I guess when
Drew Franklin pulled Weeda Bix out of his pocket and
I was his pocket. I was not going to eat
Drew Franklin pocket weed to bix. So I said, you
know what, I'll pass on the Wada bix. You can
tell me how it is, and if I ever get
a chance to try it later on down the road,

(16:03):
I will. But you talk about this opportunity in marketing,
I mean, how did they not jump on that? They
weren't even like aware of it, it seems until after
it was already over, Like you got to you gotta
strike while the iron's hot, and we had X. When
is that ever going to be popular again in America?

Speaker 4 (16:17):
They were too careful. I don't know what the social
team was doing. If they were worried about you know,
could they give like an nil deal to this person
or what? Just run with it, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (16:25):
Post that nice actly like that. That's just today's age.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Hey A five nine twenty two eighty seven.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
We will do and ask anything day we'll take your calls,
we'll take your tweets, and we'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
It is the KSR pre Show.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
KSR pre Show A five nine two twenty two eighty seven.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
This is the Who. This is what I was saying,
who are you? Who is this col Raleigh guy.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Who leads the MLB and home runs before I before
we get back to that. And he's got a great nickname.
By the way, we'll talk about we have to talk
about the nickname. But this just reminded me playing The Who.
You probably don't know who Roger Dawtrey is, Billy, do
you or what you do? Okay? He's the lead singer
of The Who, and I love a good like I
love a good rock star feud that you know. The

(17:12):
guys just bickering back and forth. And there's one going
on between the lead singer of The Who, Roger Daughtry
and Ringo Starr. You know who Ringo is with the Beatles.
Apparently Ringo's son was hired by Roger Daughtry and The Who,
but then he fired Ringo's son. Then he later brought
back Ringo's son into the band, and then he retired
Ringo's son. So now Ringo and Roger Daughtry are going

(17:35):
back and forth and it's a public spat, and Ringo's
calling Roger little Roger, and it's just a whole thing
going on, and I love it. Like when Mellen Camp
and Pat McAfee got into it over the Pacers playoff
game where McAfee got on the PA system and said
that all the New York celebrities need to go back
to New York, and you know, they were going back

(17:57):
and forth and then Mellencamp told him to shut up,
and then mcaf he gets on his show and tells
Melan Camp to shut up. It's just it's it's mindless bickering,
but I kind of enjoy it, to be honest with you, Well,
anytime there's anything like this going on.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
I understand where Ringo stars coming from. You how to
protect your boy, right, But what do you mean by
he retired his son like he was.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
He's never allowed to come back.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
He's never allowed to come back again to the who So.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
What was he doing? Was he in the band or
was he just the he was.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
In the band, And I'm not really sure why they
fired him, but it doesn't really say why they fired him.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
But just ringo, you know being ringo?

Speaker 4 (18:36):
Is that poor form to bring him back and then
retire him after he brought him Hell, why would you
fire him with you just brought him back and fought
him again.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Sorry, we got to talk about cal Raleigh's nickname that
we learned during the break.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
Yes, uh so cal Raleigh. His nickname is the Big
Dumper Shannon. His big name was given to him by
his former college coach, Mike Martin Junior during his time
at Florida State. It comes from Raleigh's ability to hit huge,
clutch home runs for his team. Others are saying it's
because of his big butt.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Oh okay, so there's no clear answer as to why
he has the name of the Big Dumper.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
No, but he is a catcher for the Seattle Mariners,
which is even more incredible. I think that he's got
the home run lead because I mean he's I mean
he's taking that equipment on and off in the dugout
all night long and working hard in the field.

Speaker 1 (19:24):

Summer is time for vacations. Have either of you had
a bad vacation to the point you were glad it
was over.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
And I'm trying to think if no.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
Because vacation in your life, how.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Can vacation be bad?

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Like, I don't know what kind of vacations you take,
but I go to relaxing vacations, Like I don't think
there's any scenario, Like even if I went to the
beach for a week and it rained every day, you're
still on vacation, Like I still find ways to enjoy it.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
Yeah, So I mean I don't. I went up Colorado.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
I drove to Colorado, which is a two day drive
by the way. We stopped in Saint Louis, went to
a Kansas City Royals game, and then stayed there, and
then the next morning we drove the rest of the way.
But I decided I wasn't going to drink water on
the trip. Shannon and I had never been that far west.
So when we got into the high elevations, I got
to Red Rocks and immediately got altitude sing.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
So for two to three days I was out.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
I mean, the room is spinning, I you know, trying
to just get fluids in me, you know, going to it,
trying to get a not a liquid IVY, but an
actual iv at that point. But I was about ready
for that trip to end. Even though we kind of
brought it together the final two days, I was able
to feel a little bit better. When you're sick on
a trip, I mean, that's that's the worst, and you
don't want to be anywhere butt home, right.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
So I remember being sick on a KSR road trip.
We were out in vayo No, not on o K. Yeah,
you remember what I did. Remember when I wrote that
piano song, that parody song from the Hangover, Yeah about Ryan.
So I was extremely sick on that trip. I remember
the first night we got there, they said, hey, downstairs,
right now, you can meet Jim Ross and if you're
a wrestling fan, you know we're gonna yeah good old Jr.

(22:02):
And I was so sick, I go, you know what,
I can't do it. I can't. I just laid in
bed and we're in Vegas. You know you want to
go out, you want to experience everything that's Vegas. But
I was so sick I couldn't do it. So I
don't know that that's a work trip, that's not really
a vacation, but that's probably as close to a bad vacation.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Trip if you want to call it that that I've
ever had.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Or when you found your housekeeper in your airbnb.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Well, I wasn't on a vacation then, I was somebody
was renting ready to go out and kick some butt
on that night. We'll be right back KSR Apprecio, Welcome back.
It is the ksrppre Show eight five, nine two, eight
twenty two eighty seven. Corey was asking during the break,
is that the worst sports nickname in history? And I
was looking up what are some of the worst ones

(22:46):
in history? Billy, you tell me if you like these names.
Some of them you've heard of, probably some of you
may not have. Do you remember he Hate Me from
the XFL.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
Western Kentucky Alumni? Of course I remember.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, you remember his actual name?

Speaker 4 (23:00):
No, and that'll probably be the case for a lot
of these guys, unfortunately.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Don't you think Rod Smart?

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Oh, yeah, that's him.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
Well they didn't have that on the back of his jersey, No,
he had He hate me.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
That's how I remember. Remember the the microwave? Do you
like that for a name? That was?

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah, you're heating it?

Speaker 1 (23:16):
That was That was Vinnie Johnson, The chosen One? Is
that really what lebron nickname is? The chosen One?

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Well, I guess if it was, anybody would be Lebron.
I mean the attention he got in high school? Uh,
I think is that when that's when that initially happened,
and then he lived up to it. So I guess
that that is that's that is a very uh high
flute nickname.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Thetistical, the chosen one. Like you said, I've got one
more for you or a couple more. Okay, did you
know that Kevin durant nickname is the Durantula.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
I've never heard that. I thought it was the Slim Reaper.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
I thought that was I like.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
That one, the Durantula though, I've never heard of. But
according to this list, that is is all right. Dante Hall, oh,
the the old punt returner. Okay, Dante Hall the human joystick. Okay,
I don't even know what that means.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
He can hit the juke move. I guess you remember
Glenn Big Baby Davis.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Of course, Yeah, that was all right. I was okay
with that one. I like that one.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
Got that name because Kevin Garnett made him cry and
that kind of stuck. Glenn Big Baby Davis. Remember butter
Bean the Old Fire But yeah, I don't know if
that was a nickname or not, but I remember the
name butter Bean from my childhood, and that clearly couldn't
been somebody's name. And I was a big Tampa I'm
still am a big Tampa Bay Bucks fan. We had
a running back out of Boise State named Doug Martin

(24:39):
and his nickname was the Muscle Hamster.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
The muscle Hamster.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
How do you it's a terrible dam That might be
the worst one out of all of them, the muscle Hamster.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah, but here's the thing, shant.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
You don't get to choose your nickname. He also went
through the dug or not that year. I don't know
why that was one of them.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
But I didn't get to, you know, choose the dude.
It's just what the they gave me.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
Well, that's because they couldn't tell if you were a
guy or a girl. Because of your first name being Shannon.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
I could have been Shannon the muscle Hamster. I don't
know if that would have been a great radio name.
But maybe how about a couple more here, the Flying Tomato,
that Sean White.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
Oh, that's a good one.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
And the round mound of rebound. That might be my favorite.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Charles Barkley the rebound, the brow Oh yeah, we have
some good ones to Kentucky right the round mound of touchdown.
Jared Lorenzen gjeorts till his bury throwboy.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
Oh okay, there it is.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
There's the winner of all the Jared Lorenzen the hefty
left exactly.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Let's before we get back to the phones, let's talk
some Kentucky basketball. Billy. I'm sure you saw this Denzel Aberdeen,
who I think is the most surprising addition to the team.
You know, you talk about a guy who just won
a national title, was projected to, you know, be in
the starting lineup from Florida this year, decides to come
to Kentucky. But he said that he had a three
hour conversation on the phone with Mark Pope. I want

(25:58):
to ask you, Billy, when was the last time you
had a three hour conversation on the phone with anybody?
Have you ever talked to anybody on the phone for
three hours straight?

Speaker 6 (26:06):
No?

Speaker 4 (26:07):
No, I don't think I ever have. Now I've gotten close.
Like high school days, you stay on the phone with
the girl, then you're trying to go to the movies
with yep, and maybe she falls asleep on the phone.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
It's one of those like you're so boring she falls
asleep on the phone.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Well yeah, I mean I wouldn't say I'm boring.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
But you know, she apparently did.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
If she falls in two hours into a conversation, I
mean that that's such a high school thing, and you know,
maybe even middle school you get phones for the first time.
It's like you get your driver's license, you're driving to
parking lots, meeting people just because you can drive. So no,
but no, not over three hours. And if you're on
the phone with Mark Pope for three hours, that's three
hours of talking, you know what I mean, Like, that's
three hours. Though, let me show you the vision for

(26:46):
this program. Uh, you got to be locked in for
those three hours.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
That's not I know, looking at the ceiling, I think
that's probably FaceTime too. You know we've heard about Mark
Pope facetiming his players just in the middle of the night,
just oh yeah, I'm just gonna call you up, and
not not only a call, I want to see, like
what you're doing, where you're at type of thing.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Three hour FaceTime is maye even worse.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Yeah, you know, according to Aberdeen, he was going through
talking about the offense, talking about how he would fit
in at Kentucky. So you would think if he's talking
about the offense, there's a good chance he's face timing him.
He's probably drawing something up on the on the whiteboard.
You know, here's how the offense works. I'm trying to
remember though, my days of being on the phone for hours,
and I think it was probably when I was at

(27:27):
Lindsay Wilson College, because you know, not a lot going
on in Columbia. Play. I've talked a lot about Lindsay
Wilson last couple of days. But do you remember calling cars?
Did you ever have a calling car? I ever had
a calling car, so back then before I had a
cell phone, but you had limited minutes and you couldn't
get on there and burn up all the minutes.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
So you wanted to go out, you know, if you're
going to be.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
On the phone for a long time and buy calling
cards and you load minutes on them, and you could
just use like a regular landline, but you got to
you got to use that number to be able to
dial out. And I burned those things up in college
before I had like unlimited minutes. But anyway, a three
hour conversation with Mark Pope, I'm sure that was uh,
I'm sure that was something. And I guess that was
whatever Pope said was enough to get them at Kentucky.

Speaker 4 (28:08):
Well, you get talking, and you know, you get excited,
and maybe the hours fly by, right, and so maybe
it just happened to be three hours. I missed calling cards,
but I did have a landline, and at one point
you could pick up the phone and then somebody could
listen to your conversation by picking up.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
The other line.

Speaker 4 (28:23):
Party lines, Yeah, yeah, and it was like, get off
the phone, I'm trying to talk to somebody. So but
either that or the computer wouldn't work when you were
on the phone, that's right. Yeah, I couldn't stay on
for three hours.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
I've had people that I think wanted to talk to
me for three hours but eventually just got to like say, look,
I gotta go. You ever have people like that, You
get on the phone with them and they just won't.
Usually it's older people like my dad's friends. Yeah, if he, like,
you know, needs to call and ask me about something,
what should be like maybe a minute long conversation turns
into like a twenty minute conversation and it just keeps

(28:56):
going and going, and I'm like.

Speaker 4 (28:57):
All right, I gotta get out of this. No, We've
talked about this. This is one of my weaknesses. Parking
and getting out of conversations are some of the things
I'm the worst at. So I may be like, Okay,
I've got to go, and they'll start a new point
and I feel like I've got to sit there and listen.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
We'll see.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
I know, Shannon, the dudees like Okay, I'm done with this, comma, goodbye.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Look man, I got things to do. I got to
get off here. Good talking to you, goodbye. That's all
it takes. Or if you don't want to do that,
you know what you do, you just hang up the
phone and go, you know, call him back.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
You know, I don't know. I'm in a bad spot.
I lost.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
You don't have a good signal. Maybe we'll pick up
this conversation or another time. You know, you got to
pull one of those. But I think, you know, for
for Aberdeen coming to Kentucky, it's an obvious reason why
he's dreamed to play in the NBA. Kentucky has a
great track record of putting players in the NBA. I
would say probably better than any other team in college basketball.
So why would a guy leave a starting position for

(29:47):
a national championship team. I think it's to go to
Kentucky and try to improve his draft stock for next
year's NBA draft.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
And I can blame the guy.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
Yeah, And when Mark Pope comes to you and lays
out a vision of plan that you know that can
clearly you can clearly see as something that's beneficial, then
why not. Also probably Dollar Signs helps with that too.
H absolutely if Kentucky had more than Florida to offer,
but that is he can't say that that's not a
factor at this point. But really excited for him and

(30:18):
mo Man. I mean, these two guys bring sec experience.
You saw how important that was with Otega Away coming
from Oklahoma to Kentucky last year. I think those guys
are going to hit the ground running, no doubt.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Apparently there's some really intense chess games going on too,
because Pope wouldn't even talk about Jaden Quainton's and his
his his injury update because Pope was mad that he
got beat by Quaintance, and chess jokingly, of course, but
they're competitors. I understand that it never got into chess.
I'm more of a checkers guy. But you know, to
each the room.

Speaker 4 (30:47):
You play checkers, I'm playing chess A five nine, two eight,
twenty two eighty seven.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Let's go to the phones and talk to Bob. Hey, Bob,
what's up?

Speaker 6 (30:55):
Hey dude? Hey, is poor Cash Daniels?

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Is he gonna win a cash Daniel and ov W
You know what. Look, he's got the look, he's got
the physique, he's got the athleticism, he has the ability
to talk. But you know what, they've put him in
there against some guys who are veterans, and it's it's
not easy. I don't care you know how good a
shape you're in. It's not easy. So he I think
he's won, he won his first catch, but he's been

(31:20):
struggling here.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
He's getting initiated, right, I think he's getting initiated.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
He's taking some losses.

Speaker 6 (31:25):
In my opinion, I think he's sitting up to turn heel.
Oh really okay, Well, it just doesn't seem like this
is cash cat. You know, he's shaking hands with everybody.
He's being real cordial that's not Cash. You know, Cash
is a little more fiery, uh, you know, a little Uh,

(31:46):
it just doesn't seem like that's his stout and uh,
it just seems like he's tired of losing and he
might The only way he might win is uh, a
little you know, a few underhanded it.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Hey, you know what, if you can't beat him, join him.
I've always taken that mantra when it comes to ov W,
if you can't beat the.

Speaker 6 (32:05):
Guy on one last name, for God's sake, somebody to
put a man's there on.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Steven Steele, Oh God, Yeah, okay, Yeah, we're going deep
into the ov W conversation.

Speaker 6 (32:19):
Thanks for the place he's ever worked out in the buffet.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Line, Thanks for the call. Yeah, those those are some, uh,
I guess deep cuts for ov W. Like if you
don't watch OVW, you don't follow that, you don't know
what we're talking about. But of course everybody knows Cash
Daniel he has done greater in ov W, though, I
mean his win loss record. Billy may need some improvement.
But you know what, I think what might help him is, uh,

(32:44):
you know, the champion managing him, the world heavyweight radio champion.
Maybe he needs some guidance from Shannon to the dude,
just saying I've managed every champion in OVW. If he
wants to be a champion, you got to hang out
with champions. So little advice for Cash if he's listening
out there, the.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
Uh you know, I'm just curious, is he's already not
a heel That does seem like naturally how Cash would be.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
I guess he's going to make him a lovable figure.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Well, the fans kind of determine that too.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
You know, if you go out there and you know
you're a jerk, but the fans still love you, then hey,
you're a babyface. Stone Colt Steve Austin was like heelish
his entire career, but people loved him.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
And were you always heelish or were you ever the
meaby face? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (33:25):
Don't know, like one of those fans ever like you, Shannon,
or did you just come out with the middle fingers?

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
I guess when I was like a ring announcer, nobody
really cared either way. Right, you're just a ring announcer.
You're not really showing any of your personality. But from
the moment that I became involved, in matches. I've been
a heel and that's been like ten eleven years.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
Well, it's easier to be more entertaining when you're coming
at it like that. Sure, yeah, I've always been hated
it over here'd be a good guy and.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Trust me the fill into mutual. Let's go to forty
what's up? Forty A forty?

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Hello?

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Forty forty one, forty fifty two? All right, David, what's up?

Speaker 2 (34:04):
David?

Speaker 5 (34:06):
Hey, guys, how y'all doing? Was it hord or New
Love out here today? I'll just say that one quick
thing I could say on about the phone calls you're
all talking about. There's a little something I do is
is I for warm people. I'm about to go through
a dead zone. So if I lose, you forgive me.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
So there you go.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
You set the expectation immediately, and that way you have
free lance to hang up anytime you want to to
get out of the conversation.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
I like that. I'll have to remember that one.

Speaker 5 (34:39):
All right, Well, y'all have a great day.

Speaker 6 (34:40):
Man.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
I just wanted to call in and love y'all show.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Thank you man, thanks for the call, y'all. I'll have
to do that even when I'm sitting at home on
the couch y up driving right now, I'm about to
go through a dead zone.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Sorry, about to lose you.

Speaker 4 (34:50):
Well, I have heard that if you put your phone
on airplane mode, it kind of it shows that I
guess the called failed compared to if it just hung up,
if you were to hang out.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Okay, all right, maybe so there you go.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
I mean, see, you you can't get out of a
conversation on the phone.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
You could just use that it's your excuse.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Yeah, I wish I could do that in real life too.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Sometime, dude, I'm telling you, you got it. Like if
you're in a conversation and you got to get out
of it, sometimes you just got to walk away. Just
the turnaround and you know, a lot like like or
just just take the phone call.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
Take a phone call. You know what somebody's calling.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Okay, it's like many important work.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Well, if it's important at work, then you need to
have a conversation with them. I mean, I think there's
a big difference versus you know, you're out at the
Lobo Bats game and somebody just won't leave you alone.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
You got to fake a phone call to get out
of it. If you're at work.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
I think you should probably take the time to talk
to the person at work.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
No, No, we're talking.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
We've had a great convo, but it's you know, we're
forty minutes in and you know we're talking about family life.
Now we've moved off from important work topics to maybe
different things.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
I don't know when that would ever happen with you.
There's nobody in that building.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
But ye, that's sure. There's nobody there.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
There is literally no like it's still covid A I
heard eight five nine two eight, twenty two eight.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
We'll come back. We'll take more phone calls, we'll take
more of your text your tweets. It is the KSR
pre Show. Final segments of the KSR pre Show. I
want to remind you that tomorrow morning, at ten am,
the KSR Golf Scramble in Louisville. Tickets go on sell
for that ten am tomorrow morning. It's going to be
August eighteenth at Glen Oaks Country Club. Do we have

(36:21):
a link for that? I guess we'll tweet that out
tomorrow and when it comes.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
To Wednesday, yep, at ten am, we'll sweet out the
link then yep.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
Okay, So looking forward to that August eighteenth, glen Oaks
Country Club eight five nine to two, eight twenty two
eighty seven. I was just telling you, Billy, during the
break we were talking about movies. I'm convinced that Hollywood
has run out of ideas because every movie that I
get excited about, I go and watch it and I'm
always let down. I haven't seen a good movie in
so long. Well, I guess I've seen. I say that,

(36:47):
maybe I should backtrack for just a minute. I told
you about the movie called Here that I really liked.
That was the first movie that was new that I
liked in probably ten or fifteen years. Has been in
that long fifteen I'm saying these long time. I mean,
I've tried to give like the new movies a chance.
But I went out and I watched the new twenty
eight years later. You remember the twenty eight days Later movie.

(37:08):
It was like a worse the zombie Apoto lip zombie movie.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
I thought I would put that one.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Honestly, when you say, like your top five scary horror
movies whatever you want to call them, all time, I
would put it in the top five. And then even
the sequel to that was good, but this is the
third one, and Billy, normally, when you get to like
the third part of a series of a movie, a trilogy,
that's when things start to go downhill. And I'm telling
you twenty eight years later that I just watched this

(37:32):
past weekend was awful.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Like, it ruined it for me.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Like whatever your favorite movie is, you probably think, man,
I wish they would come out with a part two.
No you don't, trust me, No you don't, because it
will ruin your favorite movie for you. You're better enough,
Like I think like The Big Lebowski. Loved that movie,
and they were talking about for a while doing a
part two, and I'm going, you know what, as much
as I would like to see a part two with
The Big Lebowski, it's probably going to be terrible compared

(37:59):
to the Digital and it kind of ruins the whole
thing for me.

Speaker 4 (38:02):
I heard they might be doing a spin off with
the guy the Bowler. What's his name, Donnie Bannon? Uh No,
not Donnie in the Purple suit, Oh jesus. Yeah, they
heard they might suit off of him. Yeah, which would
be great, But I'm with you for the most part.
I went and saw the New Final Destination.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
A couple of weeks ago. It was just it wasn't
even scary at all.

Speaker 4 (38:20):
It was just like comedic, you know, it was so goofy,
over the top like it was.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
It wasn't scary at all.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
And unfortunately, movies today just have an impossible standard that
you know, their budgets are so high, they have to
make so much money. You know, back in the nineties,
early two thousands, you can make a lot of these,
like smaller movies that were good. Now it's just you
make a movie, you got to make that money back,
and a lot of times they can't do it now.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
The other thing about it too, like old movies were
gritty looking. They weren't like HD and CGI, and now
CGI stuff just doesn't it doesn't work for me.

Speaker 4 (38:48):
Well, there's also a second release when it would come
out on DVD, it would get so much more money
people buying it. That just doesn't happen anymore. So they
got to make all their money in the box.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
Off eight five, nine two, eight, twenty two eighty seven.
Tell whoever's talking in the studio to down, we're trying
to do a show.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
Over, Shannon says the pipe.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
Yeah, it's this was KSR and I was talking off
the mic.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
You guys will be yelling at me. Let's go to Joelson.
I've never heard of that name before. You ever heard
of a Joel Joelson?

Speaker 3 (39:11):
Is that a nickname?

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Jolson? Hey Jolson? What's up? Hello?

Speaker 6 (39:15):
Hello? How's it going?

Speaker 4 (39:19):
So?

Speaker 5 (39:19):
I saw y'all's instagram thing about calling in to uh
for people to host, and I live in Hanktark County.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
Yeah, but that's on KSR though you're on the pre show,
and that's not right now. We'll do a thing for
that when we get to it on KSR. Right now
on the pre show, though, we can't take your submissions.
You got to wait till the time's right to call in.

Speaker 6 (39:40):
Oh well that's a shame. Well I'll try to call
that later. But big fan of the show, guys, I
appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (39:48):
Yeah, yeah, that's right. Guys are taking the show on
the road again this week.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
People's inability to follow simple instructions never ceased to amaze me. Yesterday,
mat I clearly said we're not doing it right now,
and Peggy calls in and goes, oh, I got a
submission for the tour. You guys are doing like no,
it's not right now draws me crazy.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Billy.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
Are you a fan of motivated Mark Stoops? This mantra
that fans have seemingly adopted for Stoops this season.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
You saw the.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
Little meme that's going around with an ai Mark Stoops
with a bourbon in one hand and a cigar or
cigarette and the other.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
I kind of like it. I kind of feel like
you should embrace that.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
Well.

Speaker 4 (40:27):
Kentucky posted a motivation Monday post that included Stoops yesterday,
so maybe they start to lean into it a little bit.
It's nice to be self deprecating, but you know, we're
just I think we're grasping for straws a little bit.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
Shannon, You know what I mean. We're trying to find
something to be excited.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
You don't like motivated Mark Stoops?

Speaker 3 (40:42):
No, I like it. It's given.

Speaker 4 (40:44):
It's given the fan base something to I guess, you know,
laugh at or kind of be together and support. But
at the same time, it's a.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
It could go pretty south here if they lose to
Toledo or those first two games.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Stop talking about losing to Toledo, though I keep hearing
everybody say we're going to lose that we're not going
to leave.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
I don't think you realize how good Toledo is. I
don't care.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
They're a MAC team. And if Kentucky loses to a
MAC team, then the season's over right there. So I'm
not even going to speak that into existence. It's not
going to happen. Kentucky may not have a great season,
but they're going to beat Toledo, and I'm tired of you.
They're gonna be exactly yeah. And Mark Stoop's gonna come
out there on the fifty yard line with a bourbon
and a cigarette. He's going to put it out right
there on the fifty yard line. I'll beat Toledo.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Nothan says.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
