Speaker 1 (00:17):
As always, the KSR Pre Show is brought to you
by Italics Fine Italian Dining right here in Lexington, Kentucky
on Main Street. We're in Lexington today at a live
show at Assured Partners in Hamburg. They're local here in
Lexington and they'll help you figure out the right insurance
for your home, car or even life insurance. Good morning, Shannon,
what's up.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Good to see you. Hey, good morning.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Good to be here with everybody, and uh looking forward
today's show. It's gonna be a lot of fun. We
got food coming out here for the first seventy five
people later today and uh we're gonna have a good time.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
You know.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
We had some food last night we were doing the
taste testing for KS Bar. Yeah, for the grand reopening.
I think I gained about ten pounds just from the
two hours we were there, but we got to go
through and sample a bunch of different burgers and appetizers
and wings, and I know there was a lot of
people that were kind of concerned about Okay, please don't
change the wings because that's what you guys do the

(01:06):
best at Kspar.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
So we are not changing the wings.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
There may be a couple of you know, options, additions,
but we're not changing what we do.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
So truth made the mistake last time they did the
tasting that they told him to take a bite of everything. Yeah,
like one of everything, and by the end of the
two hours he was about ready to explode. Did you
take the advice or did you end up eating a
little bit?

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Was there last year too or not last year the
first time we did this, Yeah, so I remember that
night and yeah, they cut like these big burgers into fourths.
But you know, you don't want to eat the entire
quarter of the burger. You just want to eat one
bite of it because they give you three or four
different burgers. So it's a it was a lot, but yeah,
I think we got some really good food items to
add to the menu and.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
I'm looking forward to when we finally reopen.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah, I saw you guys post a couple of pictures
or so so looking forward to when ks bar reopens up.
Did they give you a palate cleanser shin in between
foods or you just you just keep on eating.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Water just from water. That's not what what do you
mean a palate, clun palate. You're supposed to eat ginger.
You're supposed to eat a little ginger. You're supposed to
set the taste buds. I guess you're not doing.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Any of that. You're just eating the bar.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
No, we're not aficionado's okay, we just know what tastes
good to.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Take it that seriously. But so I got two things
for you, Shannon. Today we are going to be giving
away two pair of tickets to Adam Sandler coming to
Lexington in October.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah. Wait wait, we're giving them to these people no
on the show. Sorry I didn't meet him. Phrase it
like that. We got plenty of.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Stuff for you guys, including free food there. Darius Miller
is going to be coming a little bit later on
care So do you want to do it like on
a call in the last segment of the show.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
I think we're going to do a call in contest. Well,
you all could call in. Yeah, you can just walk
over there.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
You know, we've had ks our hosts do shows from
parking lots just like this.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
They just walk away and call.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
So, uh, I think we got a little game that
we were going to do at the end of the show.
So we will give away two pairs of tickets to
Adam Sandler coming to Wrap Arena in October. Shannon, do
you We talked about this a little bit yesterday. I
talked about but you know, I haven't been to a
stand up Adam Sandler thing.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Have you have not?

Speaker 3 (03:04):
And I'm you know, I hold comedians to a very
high standard most of the time. You know, I've been
to a few comedian shows and I'm the I'm the
guy kind of just straight faced the whole time going
it's not that funny. But you know there are a
few exceptions. Yeah, Like my type of comedian is Ron White.
I always said I thought he was the funniest comedian
I've ever seen. And uh, you know, so Adam Sandler's

(03:24):
good and maybe we can get some tickets for me
and you to go. I don't know if they're gonna
give us tickets or not.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
That's a good question.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
I think I'm gonna have to ask our promotions team
see if we can also do that.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
And now the other thing I have for you, Shannon.
We've talked about radio being theater of the mind. We
talked about it a little bit earlier this week, and
something that we wanted to test at the remote this
week was that does EyeBlack work?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Shannon? So I went to Walmart this morning and got
us a little EyeBlack. It looks like chapstick.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
It's it's uh, it's changed a little bit. Don't put
it on your lip, Shannon. But I've got my old
school Western Kentucky hilltop.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Right should we do during the break? Well, it might
be can you can you talk while while I'm applying
the eyeblock? Or is that just gonna throw you off?
I'm gonna have to move the mic to do it. Okay,
let's just do it anyway, Just do it? Okay, Okay, Well,
here we go. Here's some eyeblock. There we go. I
don't know what the purpose of this is. I don't
think that there's really anything that's scientific about it, but yeah,

(04:20):
we're doing like the whole thing here.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Now you got the EyeBlack. I didn't ask for the down.
There you go. Want to make sure your cheeks are good?
There we go. I'll put more on during the break. Okay.
Now do you think this helps when the sun is
in your face?

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Well, the sun is moving around the building. I would
say by the time we start KSR Okay, sun.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Will be out. I've got a window here.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Hold on, you can look. Yeah, I don't. I don't
think it actually works. I think it's more like.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Just considering we're under a tent and in the shade.
I'm not going to be able to tell until i
actually get in the sunlight.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Shannon. But we can talk about the war paint that
these guys put on.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Did you bring a baseball? I could throw you a
pop up and see if you can catch it looking
into the sun. Then we could tell if it.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Was what a bad idea? We cou something up in
the air and see if it works, Shannon. But do
I look more intimidating?

Speaker 2 (05:03):
No?

Speaker 3 (05:04):
No, you look you look just as weak as you
always do.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
I always It's funny.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
We don't see that in other sports, though, you know
we see it in football and basketball. But I guess
he's got to be outside. Well, we don't see it
in basketball. I've never seen a basketball player where eyeblaws.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Oh come on, you've seen it. Baseball, baseball, baseball.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
And it's the summer of baseball. It's the summer of
Ellie's Shannon. I don't think he wears EyeBlack either. But
you know what, it's something I used to do back
in a lot as a kid. And it doesn't sound
like you did as a picture back in the day
at Lindsay Wilson.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
No, no, I never did put the eyeblock on. Like
I said, I had those flip classes where you could
flip them up and then flip them down. They still okay,
I don't see a whole lot of baseball players use those,
but I guess you say they're still they're still selling them.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Oh yeah, they're still selling them for the kids out
there playing little league baseball. And just like me hosting
the show today, we'll have a little EyeBlack on.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Looking forward to seeing Matt's reaction when he comes up
and I got EyeBlack on right now.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
He's gonna give me a hard time for that.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
You look like you're a part of a beer league socier.
I just want to be a part of the team.
Put me in coach. Yeah, I mean, hey, Bill Tosh
Champion right here, Shannon, while we're talking sports, though, big
night for a couple of Wildcats, Kobe Brea and Amari
Williams both being drafted in the NBA Draft last night.
Brea at forty one and a Marii Williams at forty six.
Kobe will go to the Phoenix Suns. Well, Marii Williams
will be with the Boston Celtics, and man, my favorite

(06:22):
part was Kobe Brea's mom. Man, it's the reaction of
the family members once people get drafted. Kobe was actually there,
was able to participate in it, and it was a
good night for a lot of people last night.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah'm happy for both of those guys. You know, Kobe
going in alongside Devin Booker. I mean, there's gonna be
a couple of really good shooters on that Phoenix Suns team,
and a mari going to my Boston Celtics. I was
happy about that as well. So I think Amrio can
succeed there. You know, Porzingi's just got traded away, he did.
I think they need a big man that can maybe
step up and you know, come off the bench and

(06:52):
give him some some reserve minutes. And I think he
could be that guy for Boston. So I think he's
got a legit chance of making the roster.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
What a journey for him though, right, I mean, from
Nottingham England to Drexel. Takes a risk and transfers to
Kentucky for Mark Pope's first season and a guy that
improved a lot over the season went on. I mean,
I feel like we were pulling our hair out at
times with Amary when it came to his hands being
low Shannon.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Or He's good to learn to dunk the ball in
the NBA Dunk and the ball.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
He played a pivotal role in Mark Pope's system this year.
But a Mari is gonna get his chance with a
very smart organization in the Boston Celtics. Meanwhile, Kobe Brea
joins up with Devin Booker. Nick Richards is on the
Phoenix Suns as well, so a little Kentucky connection in Phoenix.
Think about his journey. I mean, he was at Dayton
for a while, one of the best shooters in the country.
He takes a chance with Mark Pope, he ends up

(07:37):
getting drafted, and I think Shannon last night was a
you know, while Kentucky's streak of no first round picks ended,
it was proof of concept that Mark Pope was able
to take some transfer players and get them to the
next level.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Well, let's let's figure it out here, Kelby Brea, Mariy
Williams two Kentucky players. Let's see, Arkansas had a du
dude and Louisville had zero. So that Mark Pope but
in more players in the NBA than Pat Kelsey and
John Keller Perry combined.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
That's that is correct. That is correct. So I want
to make sure my math was mathing this morning. I
think that's right.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah, bragging point for Kentucky fans after this season. But yeah,
do Thierra Lakers traded up to get him at thirty six.
I wish him the best of luck, man, I really
like to do. I know he followed cow to Arkansas,
but you know what, do you think he can have
success at the next level?

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah? I think he can.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yeah, I mean any like tall sort of you know
guy that just has a good moment. I'm saying I'm
trying to think of like, you know, tall and just
kind of length lengthy. Yeah, I guess that's the word
I'm looking for. I think he can succeed. I think
he'll have a good career. Kobe Brea, you know, a
guy that can shoot as well as he can as

(08:47):
long as he can learn to play some defense. I
think he can last a long time in the NBA
as well. And Amari, like I said, with Boston, he's
the perfect fit.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Absolutely, we see if any weed a bix can be
found in the Boston area, that'll follow him wherever he goes.
Also in the news this morning, Lamont Butler signed with
the Hawks and Andrew Carr signed with the Portland Trailblazers.
So we wish the best of luck to those guys
on their two way and Exhibit ten contracts. I'm not
sure exactly what they mean, but hopefully those guys can
play themselves in the league. But I'm done guessing, folks.

(09:15):
The fact that Oscar Sibey is not playing actively on
an NBA roster means I don't know what these NBA
evaluators are looking for.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yeah, that's a head scratcher, And get a guy that
can go out there and get your twenty rebounds a
night and they can't find a spot for him in
the NBA.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
I think that's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Somebody tweeted the other day Angel Reese is the best
rebounder of all time. I think Oscar Quote tweeted it
and said who. And I felt the disrespect? I mean
I did. I could understand where he's coming from. Was
it twenty eight that he had in rep Arena at
one time?

Speaker 2 (09:42):
It was?

Speaker 1 (09:42):
It was simply incredible. So wishing the best of luck
for those guys and a fun night as.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Cats got drafted.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
You know another player that was drafted forty sixth overall
Shannon in twenty twelve was Darius Miller.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
And he will be here partner, that's right, eleven o'clock.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
He's gonna be here with U today. So looking forward
to seeing Darius. And haven't heard from him in a while.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, I believe he's living here in Lexington now, so
he'll have some things that he wants to share with us.
Only player from Kentucky, he's from Maysville, Kentucky. To be
named Kentucky Mister Basketball, win a KHSAA state championship with
Mason County, and to win an NCAAA title with Kentucky,
so very accomplished player in his playing.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Days that twenty twelve team.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
I mean, he was so important coming off the bench,
being the sixth man, and you know, I don't know
that they win that title without him.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Think I think he was that important.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, yeah, I mean you got to have that experience
we talked about, you know, with as much as the
freshman played a role, the experience of those guys really
played a part. He also played for the Thunder in
twenty twenty and twenty one, so he could talk a
little bit about OKC and Shaye and the run that
they've been on. It looked like their parade was a
lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
The last couple of days.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
I think Shaye was living his best life, just running
through the streets with his shirt off, you know, he was.
He was definitely soaking it all in it as he should.
I mean, talk about a guy that kind of just
came out of nowhere. Like we knew he was good
at Kentucky, but did you ever think that he would
be an NBA champion, MVP. You know, all the accolades
that he's had here recently. I mean, he's really shot
up to the top of you know, being in the

(11:08):
conversation of best players in the NBA right now.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
I mean, Kwade Green was starting in front of him,
So how could we foresee he was gonna be MVP
and win an NBA final?

Speaker 2 (11:15):
He was.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
He had the Larry O'Brien Trophy and he was letting
fans touch it, and I was I was getting worried, chating.
We've seen trophies break over the last couple of years,
and all it takes is one of those dufust fans
to kind of shove you a little bit.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Well, we saw your guy, Tom Brady just taking the
Lombardi Trophy and tossing it while they were in Tampa Bay,
like literally on the water from boat to boat.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
I still can't believe that happened. I mean, and you
had to be a lovely though, right. No, No, it wasn't.
They went back and did a whole thing on it.
It was not a replica. You could tell by the
reactions of the people.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Well you could see, yeah, I mean, Tom Brady didn't,
you know, put as much value in it. When you've
got six or seven of those already, that's just another trophy.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Who cares if he goes to the bottom of the ocean.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
That's true, that's true. Uh eight five nine two h
two two eight seven give us a call again. Later
in the show, will be giving away some Adam Sandler tickets.
And we've got some goofy topics that we'll talk about
here on the show. Before the show, it's Billy Rutligion
and Shannon the Dude live and Assured Partners in Lexington,
and we will be right back.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
All right, welcome back. KSR. Pre show rolls along here
on a Friday live show here in Lexington, Kentucky, had
Assured Partners on their new location on Al Sheheba Way.
We got some free food here. Some coffee is opening
up here, Shannon, So having a good time with Assured Partners.
I'm told I can get some machya later on. Oh
yeah ahead, maya. Yeah. So we're gonna see if we

(12:31):
can get some of that later.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, you're gonna put some EyeBlack on too, Shannon, join
the team there you go.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
No, no, you bought this eye black? How much does
EyeBlack coughs? It looks like three to thirty or something
like that. Really, yeah, three dollars.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Wow, inflation's even hit EyeBlack.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, but I mean, what is money, Shannon, when you can,
you know, block the sun from getting into your eyes?

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Okay, are you ever gonna use that again? I mean,
don't doubt it.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
I've done some crazy things, Shannon, like saying yesterday that
that summer is not the worst month, it's the worst season.
And I want to double down on that for just
a second, Shannon, because it was an unpopular opinion. I
got some feedback last night. I think the stems from
my AC breaking last year. Do you remember that, Shannon?

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Of course, yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
It was like a week it was out, and it
was it was my personal hell. I think, Shannon, and
I don't think that people who love summer in the
way that I don't have had their AC broken recently.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Well, mine is old and I need a new one.
Anybody out there listening that repairs AC's or you know,
puts in acs out, here's an opportunity for you. But yes,
if your AC goes out and you've had to deal
with that, especially when it's like ninety five degrees like
it's been this week, it's not getting any cooler either.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
It's supposed to be like that. I think for the
rest of the week. Yeah, and I'll tell you an
next week too.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Another thing you don't find in winter is bugs, the mosquitoes,
the ants, the cicadas that come every seventeen years. You
know what a season they come in Jenna. Summer, summer,
that's right, exactly, So just remember that. I think it's
very regional though. Like if you're in Michigan, I bet
you love summer.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
I bet you. It's a very nice weather up there.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yeah, it's a different kind of summer when you're talking
about like, you know, Florida versus Kentucky and then Arizona
is just completely different.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Now after the show, you're leaving for a week of vacation.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Right, yeah, yeah, head down to Florida, jumping in the
heading into the heat. I am into that, I am.
But you know what they got. I heard they got
an ocean down there, and they get swimming pools. So
and I don't have that here at home. Oh thank you?
Oh there we go.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
That looks really good. Uh well, if you need some
EyeBlack for the sun down there, you know where it is,
look at us.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
They put cinnamon on my drink. Chy, that looks pretty good.
Let's chi you got a vanilla latte and I got chai.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah, that's just that's that's how we do eight five nine,
eight oh two two eight seven. You guys talked about
a topic the other day about how long bands should.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Play play if you pay to watch them.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Now, the first thing that came to mind when this
brought was brought up was the Red Hot Chili Peppers
at Bourbon and Beyond a couple of years ago. Shannon,
I actually left that a little bit early, and I remember,
so did they?

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Well that, yeah, that was the thing.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
A lot of people were angry that they only did
went on for what was it, like six seventy minutes.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
They were the headlining band, and usually they give the
headlining band like an hour, twenty hour and a half
something like that, and they were done. I don't know
if they weren't happy with the crowd or what, but
I kind of feel like you owe it to that
kind of crowd, especially when you got fifty thousand people there,
and just because you're a rock star and you're being
a diva, you decide that you're just gonna end the
show early.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Different crowd too, Like, you know, if I go to
a normal venue, I can buy a ticket and get
there when the show starts. I mean, these people have
been there all day to get as close to the
stage as possible. So I mean for them to only
play sixty minutes, I thought that was poor form. So
what was the answer you decided on about ninety minutes
you think is fair?

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Yeah, I think so. I mean anymore than that, I
mean you kind of you kind of lose the crowd.
I feel like after a while now, I've never been
to a Taylor Swift concert, but I hear that she
goes on and on and on for like three hours.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
To me, that is way too much.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Well, way too The price of the tickets reflect it,
I think. I mean, you're spending hundreds of dollars to
go to it.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
You know how we're trying to speed up like sporting events.
I would be like, we need to speed up this
Taylor Swift concert, like do your hits, let's get it
out of here, you know, do your wardrobe changes and
let's let's be done.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
But is there something to like this is a once
in a lifetime thing. I'll never see Taylor again. I
want to hear bad blood. She's still young, she'll be around,
you know, she'll be touring. So it's not like Bruce
Springsteen doing three hours up there because we don't know
if he's gonna fall over next Week's true.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Yeah, I mean Bruce is getting up there, He's probably
you know, he's probably got several more tours, but not
a whole lot. You know, he's not going to be
touring for another twenty years like Taylor Swift probably would.
So yeah, I think an hour and a half it
was about right. Anything more than that, yeah, I'm kind
of done it, kind of done with it at that.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Was a bigger artist, Bruce Springsteen or Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift, Yeah,
I think I think we don't even think. I don't
even think that's a question like that. Really, Yeah, I mean,
has how influential Bruce was over those decades, sure, but
I mean Taylor still got it.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yeah, yeah, I mean overall, I mean I prefer Bruce.
But if we're talking like popularity, Taylor Swift is like
the biggest thing in music.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah, yeah, biggest thing period. Uh and then Alice Bugain
making their way up.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Well, I'm just saying, like we play four hours, which
I agree, like it's way too much.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
An hour and a half. I'm even tired of myself
after four hours.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Well you made me tired of your neighbor Greg. At
this point, Shannon, you revealed he roots for both Kentucky
and louis You bring this up, and I kid you not.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
I said yesterday on the show that he had a
Kentucky hat on and a Louisville jersey on. He I
was sitting there watching the draft in my garage. Doors open.
Anytime the doors open, that's an invitation. My neighbors are
welcome to come over and watch whatever I'm watching with me.
And here he comes, and I kid you not, Kentucky hat,
Louisville shirt, just like I I mean, it's just like,

(17:36):
just like I explained it on the show.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Look, do both programs having success.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
I should have taken a picture say yes, But like
you had to be a psychopath, I think to wear
both red and blue at the same time, or.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
You just don't care that much about it.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
I mean, most of our most fans, I think, you know, live, breathe, sleep,
you know Kentucky football, basketball, or if you're a loisvill fan,
you probably feel that way about Louisville. And then there's
some people that just you know, they don't make care
either way. They just support both teams, which is hard
for you know, people like us who cover it and
and you know, fanatics to understand.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
That, right like fanatics fan is short for that, right.
That was the example I was going to give. So
we all are a little crazy to a degree. But
that does seem blasphemous wearing a little red and a
little blue, you ever, just try to give him a
little bit a shirt or something, Shannon, try to replace
the hat that he's wearing.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
No, I don't feel the need to clothe my neighbors.
I feel like they can.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Is this the one that's helped you with your pumpkins? Though,
Like maybe you should be a little bit more afferent.
One guy, he's across the street.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
So that was the one that was hosting the party
that just lost all his money to your other neighbor. No,
that was another neighbor. Okay, yeah, I got several names.
I live in a neighborhood. There's several neighbors. Glad you
know your neighbors. Yeah, no, well I didn't at my
other house.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
And you know that's another thing, like when you live
in a bigger city, I don't think it's as common
to know your neighbors. I lived in that house for
ten years and didn't even really know my neighbors. There's
one guy I would see him out cuting the grass.
I just waved to him. Never even talk to him,
not one time in ten years.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, I don't think Matt knows his neighbors. I don't
know if he's talked it all at the mailbox. I
know one of my neighbors. They're very nice and we've
gotten to know each other very well. The other one
won't look me in the eye, like, I don't know
what it is, Shannon. I try to be very friendly,
try to do a little wave. I never brought the
apple pie to the door or anything like that. But
you know, maybe sometimes you just don't need to go
over it.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Well.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
Some people just have a radar for, you know, bad people,
and maybe his radar is going off when he looks
over and sees you, you know, because I approach him
an EyeBlack, like this is the guy that gets up
and fires up the weed eater at seven am.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
You know you're not gonna like that. Wrong with that?
Ain't nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
It's the only time it's not hot in the summertime, Shannon,
And it's hot if you're watching a baseball game out
there and you can bet on baseball on the DraftKings.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Nine two eight h two two eight seven. A fun
thing to do in the summertime is play golf. And
we found out who Freeze was playing way too much golf. Oh,
my god, recruiting time right now in college football?

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Uh? What was the number? Shannon?

Speaker 1 (20:21):
He played ten times in fifteen days and that was
tracked on the gein app, which is ingenius by the way.
You can see all the rounds people post. But one,
he'll never post again.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Uh huh. You didn't think about that one, did you,
Hugh Freeze.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
He'll never post again. He's got to stay anonymous. And
uh and number two, that is a lot of golf
for a time you're supposed to be recruiting, right, does
Arkansas or yeah, it's not Arkansas. Auburn, Yeah, Auburn. Does
Auburn fans have a case here?

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Absolutely? They do.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
Could you imagine if Mark Stoops were out and it
was discovered that he was out ten out of fifteen
days on the golf course instead of recruiting, especially coming
off the season that he had. And let's look at Auburn,
they're not exactly you know, great from last year. They
were five and seven last year. So if, yeah, my
head coach is out there spending time playing golf instead

(21:08):
of recruiting, I think the fan base has a legitimate argument.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Well, Matt hit.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Me really hard yesterday when he said if you're good
at golf, you're likely neglecting something in your life.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, I kind of had to look at myself, So
what are you neglecting?

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Yeah, I'm gonna plead the fifth on the air to
talk about what I'm neglecting in my life, Shannon.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
But that was I think there were some true. Well.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
The other thing is too like if you're a really
like let's say it's Nick Saban. Nick Saban could get
away with that. He's won a national championship. Sure, all right,
it's all about the leverage that you have. But when
you had a losing record last year and it's prime
recruiting season and you're out playing golf, that's a bad look.
And it doesn't matter if you're the coach of Auburn,
the coach of Kentucky unless you're out there winning national

(21:49):
titles like Nick Saban, he's probably like one of the
few guys that could actually get away with that.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Now, it's important that you can play golf if you're
in sales or in your business, right, a lot of
business gets done on the course, Shannon. But when you're
recruiting eighteen maybe that's his argument. Maybe he was out
with recruits playing golf. Now that's different. He's take that's
golf course by alibi. I guess that'd be the only
defense he has. That's right, all right, we need to
take a break. Much more on the way here. It's

(22:14):
the KSR pre Show live at Assured Partners.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
We will be right back. Welcome back.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
It is the KSR pre Show live on the Kentucky
Office of Highway Safety KSR Safe Summer Driving Tour at

Speaker 3 (22:43):
That's right. Good benefits, keep good people. That's that's a
good slogan right there. I like that, Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Eight five nine two eight zero two two eight seven.
Will be giving away Adam Sandler tickets in the final segment.
But before we do that, Shannon, let me ask you something.
I saw this story going viral and I thought of
you a broad and groom played rock paper scissors at
their altar to decide whose surname they were going to take.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
No way, wow, so it was a chance that he
would have to take her last name.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
First round goes to the guy oohs and Oz comments yeah.
Second round goes to the girl's up a final showdown,
and the girl wins. So right then and there, Wow,
the guy's surname ended.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Shannon.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Seventy nine percent of women take the male's last name
when they get married.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
In twenty twenty three.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
Only seventy would If you say guests, you should have
asked me to guess, because I would have said ninety
nine percent. Well, maybe it was one hundred years ago, right,
So are more women just using their maiden name or
are more guys taking the But I think I think
I didn't.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
See the numbers on it. I think they are more
hyphened last names. And I also think there are more styles,
probably just taking the last name of the female.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Anthony Towns, Yeah, hyphens. Okay, so do you think about that.
I didn't know it was a common thing, mia.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Though, I mean rock paper scissors to decide if your
surname goes on See.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
I never get invited to weddings like that. I always
get invited to the boring weddings that go on for
way too long, and it's like, okay, get it over already,
kiss the bride. Yeah, okay, you know, congratulate. But no,
I never get invited to a cool wedding like that.
So let me ask you, since you are the next
person on the KSR cast that is going to get married,

(24:29):
is there any chance that we could talk you into
becoming Billy Brewer.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
No? No, come on now, I'm holding the line here.
What we already know, she's the alpha in the relationship.
You're the beta. You're Beta Billy.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
I don't know why at this point you would not just,
you know, consider taking her last.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Well, look, i'd get a little alliteration if I did
a little Billy Brewer.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Beta Billy Brewer. I mean, it's perfect. Triple B. Will
call you troller brand. I can just start wearing T
shirts like it's mine. But no, it's like a non
starter for me. I don't know. I bet you you're
the same way though, aren't you.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
I'm not taking anybody's last name exactly. Hey, your last name,
if you marry me is going to be dude, whether.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
You like it or not, the dude not even in
the Grigsby part. Happy birthday to our guy, Rick Ryder.
He is one of the producers for KSR. He is
out today, he's not working, and obviously John Alden's in
his place. But Rick has been a great addition to
the KSR crew and you know he's learned a lot Shannon,
so I wanted to give him his shout out.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah, Happy birthday, Rick.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
What I love about Rick is that you know, no
matter how excited or worked up Matt may get, Rick's
got one gear.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
You know.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
He doesn't get too worked up, he doesn't get too high,
he doesn't get too low. He's very you know, even
kill when it comes to his his demeans.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Well, that's what you want, right, you want a steady
hand the wheel. And you know, hoping that he didn't
have any wine in the morning, and.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
I'm sure he's gonna have plenty of wine this weekend,
so I'll drink one for you, Rick.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Rick does a great job, not only with KSR, but
all the other shows with iHeartRadio. So a salute to
Rick Rider as somebody that had to come in when
I you know, I used to do his job, Shannon.
That's what I originally did, was backed up you and
did producer stuff. And then when I went to Lexington,
he ended up taking my spot.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
So now we got a backup to the backup. That's good.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
When you're gone next week, I'm gonna be in Louisville producing.
I guess Rick's out next week as well, along with you,
So I'll be doing that old job once again.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
You know how to do it. You still remember, I
don't screw it up.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
It's like riding a bike, shaka. Your job so easy.
You just push maybe three buttons an hour, that's right. Yeah,
And you know say that you've worked harder than anybody.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
You know when you went on vacation and Ryan couldn't
even figure out how to get on the air. So
you know, it's always good like when like I'm not
ever rooting for the show to fail. Don't get me wrong,
but I had a long stretch of every time I
would go on vacation, like something bad would happen, Like, see,
I am needed, I am important to this whole thing,
you know, this machine.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Oh it's good for you know our job security, right,
I mean it's good for me to make us feel better.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Can I tell you a funny story from way back
in the day. I talked about this yesterday. Is this
your baseball?

Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah, so Tom Leach.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
I don't get a whole lot of text from Tom Leach,
but a couple of days ago I get a Texas
is Tom leechigo?

Speaker 2 (27:02):
I wonder what this is? And it's a tweet and
you were out.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
I think the week we were talking about the crazy
story from the seventies where Doc Ellis, who is a
Major League baseball pitcher, threw a no hitter while he
was on LSD, and I said, that is one of
the most amazing stories I think I've ever heard. Now,
this isn't going to top that, don't get me wrong,
but I think this is a great old school baseball story.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
And I just want to read this for you real quick.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
Okay, So Gates Brown was a player for the Tigers
back in the sixties.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Okay, this was nineteen sixty eight.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
On this particular day, Gates Brown wasn't in the Tigers
starting lineup, so he grabbed two hot dogs from the clubhouse.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
He was hungry, you know. Manager Mao Smith told him
to go pinch hit.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
Gates knew he wasn't supposed to have the hot dog,
so he stuffed them down in his jersey to hide
them from the manager. Now, he said, I always wanted
to get a hit every time I went to the plate,
but this is one time I didn't want to get
a hit. I'll be damned if I didn't smack one
in the gap and had to slide in the second
head first. No less, I was safe at second with

(28:05):
a double, But when I stood up, I had mustard
and ketchup and smashed hot dog buns all over me.
The fielders took one look at me, turned their backs
and damn near busted a gut, laughing at me. My
teammates and the dugout went crazy. Gates Brown was then
fined one hundred dollars by his manager, and his manager
asked what he was doing, and he said, I had
to come clean.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
I was hungry.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Besides that, where can you eat a hot dog and
have the best seat in the house. That is a
legendary story. There, guy shoves the hot dogs down his jersey,
has to slide head first, ends up having mustard and
ketchup all over his jersey.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
So you imagine that happened. Now, how viral would that
go social media?

Speaker 2 (28:43):
I just I'm trying to put myself in his shoes.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
You've got two full dogs here, and your move was
to go in the shirt. I don't know why you
wouldn't just like here, hold these, you know, or just
I mean, or just say or throw them away.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Obviously not a smart move. I think he was.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
He didn't want to get fined, right, he didn't think
that he would, you know, if he could hide them,
he could not get fined.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
I was kind of hoping the dog would like come
out of his jersey on his head first slide or
something like that. But they just he popped up and
had ketchup and mustard stains.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
All on him. That's a legendary story.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
That is love and timely with the fourth of July
Hot Dog Contest just right.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Oh yeah, so the you can bet on DraftKings speaking
of witch on at Joey Chess.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Now the over under, what is it? Do you know
what I mean? I have to go back and look.
I want to say it was like seventy eight.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
I think his record is eighty three, but that was
not in the Nathan's country.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
So if I said it at seventy eight, assuming that
that's what DraftKings has it at, would you go over
or under seventy eight?

Speaker 1 (29:35):
See, Captain America was banned from the event last year,
so he might add a spite just try to get
to eighty Shannon.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
But here's the thing, though, even the greatest athletes, when
they get to a certain age, they lose a step.
I'm just saying, like, you know, maybe we've seen peak
Joey Chestnut. At some point you get to a you know,
you can't get any better than where you were at
a certain point in your career. Yeah, I think that
maybe there's a chance that you know, still, if you
ate seventy seven hot dogs in ten minutes, that's very impressive.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Look like when you have a competitor, like whether there's
an equal competitor with you, I think you compete even
harder or or even better. Right, Yeah, but nobody's even
closer exactly so that when he had Kobyashi, I mean
they had these these battles. Yeah, and maybe you push
yourself to eat a couple more dogs. He's gonna beat
the next person by fifteen twenty dogs.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
Right when there's one minute left and you've already eaten
seventy six hot dogs and the closest guy eight forty.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
It's like, what's my motivation here? You know?

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Dogs in ten minutes? Yeah, and they're dipping the bun
in the water shand oh.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
It's you know, the greatest spectacle on earth. Like you
can't look away from it. It's like a train wreck.
It's disgusting. There's like wet, soggy buns everywhere, but you
can't stop watching it. Like I don't want to watch this,
but I can't turn away. I got to see what happens.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
The most disgusting ten minutes and sports will start calling
that event. All right, So we're gonna take an early
break here. We're gonna give away two pairs of Adam
Sandler tickets, so that means we have four total tickets
to give away. We will have two winners eight five
nine two eight oh two two eight seven. You have
to call and be on the show. We were going
to do a contest, an Adam Sandler trivia contest. Sorry

(31:04):
for everybody here that wants Adam Sandler tickets, go to
this lot. We're gonna take some callers in the next
segment and we will be giving away a little Adam
Sandler tickets.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Shannon, looking forward to that.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Let's hope one of these contests works better than KSRS
normally we have.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
One hundred percent hit rates, so I know this is
going to go well. So stay tuned eight five nine,
two two eight seven. We'll take a break and be
right back on the KSR pre Show.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
What all right? Welcome back?

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Okay, Adam Sandler there, KSR pre Show Live it assured
Partners here. We're gonna hand it off to KSR next.
They'll have Darius Miller joining him at eleven. So we've
got a good show planned. But right now we're doing
a little contest. We're gonna give be giving away two
tickets to see Adam Sandler his new comedy.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
Tour that he announced yesterday. Shannon, Yeah, looking forward to that.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
I saw that there's some people I guess in Texas
were unhappy with him because there were no Texas dates.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Oh I didn't come to text.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
Yeah, I saw like when he announced that, I was
looking at the comments and it was just people from
Texas really because he didn't go there. But you know what,
he's coming to Lexington. We've got free tickets. We've got
a pair of tickets to give away right now, and
we got a game that may or may not work,
but it's live radio.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
We get one shot at this. We're gonna see what happens. Yeah,
you know the hit rate with games on KSR. But
let's see if we can do this. I believe we
have some callers on the line, John, do we have
four people or five.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
People right now? Four line? Right now? Four on the line.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Okay, So what we do here, Shannon is I have
quotes from Adam Sandler movies. Okay, I am going to
say the quote, and then the caller is going to
have to tell me what movie the quote is from. Okay,
So if the first caller says the movie gets it right,
we'll go to the next person. I'm gonna say another quote.
They've got to give me the movie that is how
you survive. We will go until we have one caller remaining.

(32:44):
Do you like this game, Shannon? Do you think it'll work?

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Ask me in about five minutes about like this game? Okay, Yeah,
we'll see.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
So let's start with our first caller. I believe Malone
is our first caller. Malone, are you there?

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (32:57):
All right, and you can make the trip in October
to come see out Sandler rough if you win the tickets.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Correct, of course.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
Okay, I'm gonna give you a quote. You tell me
what Adam Sandler movie. This is from number one? The
price is wrong, Bob, The price is wrong, Bob?

Speaker 2 (33:15):
What movie is that? From? Malone?

Speaker 3 (33:18):
That's from That's correct?

Speaker 1 (33:22):
That was a very easy one to start off, like,
you know, I mean, you're the first caller.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
You get it pretty easy.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
There's a lot of these that I was looking at
like I wouldn't have known the answer, but that one
I would have known.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
Okay, thank you, Malone. We'll go to the second caller.
Stay on hold. Brandon is up next. Brandon Are you there?

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (33:39):
All right, Brandon, here's your quote. You ain't cool unless
you pee your pants. What Adam Sandler movie is that?

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Quote you? That's correct. Off to a good start, all right.
Number three. Our third caller is Josh. Josh. Are you there? Yeah,
I'm here? All right?

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Here's your quote, Josh, I'm not a baby, I'm a man.
I'm an adult. What movie I'm not a baby, I'm
a man, I'm an adult. What Adam Sandler movie is that?

Speaker 2 (34:08):
From Billy Madison. That is incorrect. That is Big Daddy Shannon,
the dude's favorite Adam. Yeah. I would have guessed that,
but that was a tough one, so Josh, I apologize.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
You didn't get the water Boy one. All right, the
easy water boy quote. The Big Daddy knocked you out.
Let's go to the next caller. Isaiah is on the line, Isaiah,
are you there? What's up?

Speaker 2 (34:32):
All right? Isaiah? Here is your quote? You can do it.
What movie is that from? That's right? So he's got
a ringer, he's got got a little help there. Okay, Isaiah,
there you go.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
So you survived. So we eliminated Josh. We still have Malone,
Brandon and Isaiah Shannon. I'm gonna let you do this.
You give the next quote for Malone. Malone will be
the next caller up, so you'd give a quote and
you tell them which movie or I guess we play.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
The game here, Okay, here we go.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.
I thought that was Forest Gump, but you're telling me
that's also? Yeah, which which one is? But I know
what love is?

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yes? Five four?

Speaker 1 (35:23):
That is incorrect. It is the wedding singer nineteen ninety eight.
I am not a smart man, but I know what
love is. I am sorry, Malone, you are out, Shannon
knocking people out.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
That's right, they're over one versus me. I'm just saying, Brandon,
you're up next. Brandon.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Your quote is Grizzly Adams did have a beard? What
Adams Sandlor movie? Grizzly Adams did have a beard?

Speaker 2 (35:49):
Hell, they're getting tough. I don't need the answer to
this one five four three two one, Brandon.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
All right, well, I guess we got to hang on
because we got to make sure that Isaiah can get it.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
What'd you say? That is not correct?

Speaker 1 (36:08):
No, I'm sorry, Brandon, but you stay on. Hold Isaiah
doesn't get this right, this last one right? Then you
will have a shot to win.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Isaiah. Are you still there? Yeah? All right? Here we
go to win the tickets, Shannon, what's the best one here?
I got a few here, Just pick one. I don't know,
Just go with one. We've already done a few of
these here. No, No, I'm panicking here. Which one is
you should we do? Okay?

Speaker 1 (36:29):
I'm here to chew bubble gum and kick blank and
I'm all out of bubblegum.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
The longest yard does sound.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Like he has a ringer back there. That is incorrect
that it comes from they came together. Okay, well, okay,
now we're at sudden death.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
Now I think you got to go first person to
get one, right, So do you have any more quotes?

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Yes? I do. Let's go. Let's go back to Brandon. Brandon,
are you ready to go if you get this? When
you win? All right? This is sudden death, first person
to get one correct? All right, here we go.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
At least I have a chicken Adam Sandler quote. At
least I have a chicken.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Five four three two one? All right, Isaiah too late?

Speaker 1 (37:19):
Back to Isaiah, Isaiah, this comes from the same movie.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Stop looking at me, Swan Madison. Billy Madison. Billy Madison
is correct? All right? Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
We may have had a googler off to the side there,
but okay, Isaiah wins.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
The Isaiah is the winner of our Adam Sandler tickets today. Congratulations, Isaiah,
stay on hold, get your.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Tickets there you go? All right?

Speaker 3 (37:49):
Wow, okay, well that went somewhat about yeah, I mean,
at least you know we didn't lose everybody on the
line that's happened to Tom or two in a kis
or contest.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
So yeah, we got a winner.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
We got two more tickets to give away. We will
do that next week when Shannon is gone. I will
think of another great game that we can play.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
It wasn't bad. At least it worked somewhat.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Yeah, A five nine two two two eight seven blowne
did get a much easier quote than Maybe.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
Some of those were tough. Yeah, I only knew like
a handful of those that you did. Probably you know,
half of them, maybe the other half I didn't even know.
Were you running out of quotes?

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Is that what was wrong?

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Ai started repeating itself all the Chinese. AI, give me
some of the best Adam Sandler quotes, and you know
it's not as.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Good as chance.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Well, the way I was seeing that contest play out
is that, you know, they would keep getting them right,
and then you would just run out of quotes, and
then we just have to, you know, throw our hands
up in the air and say nobody wins.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
And ultimately it was just the quotes for too hard. Maybe,
So there you go. A five nine two two two
eight seven. Just a couple of minutes left and we'll
hand it off to KSR. We did get the news
that college basketball is going to be going to a
longer regular season in twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven,
thirty two regular season games instead of thirty one. Obviously,
I'm sure money is a big factor here, but also

(38:57):
the fact that you could play a non conference game
during the different season is an interesting.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
Yeah, as long as you know, teams use this the
right way and don't add an insignificant team that nobody
cares about. But if they were to add, you know,
the Kentucky were to add in, I don't know, just
pick a non conference game that would have some excitement
built around it.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
I think eventually we're going to go to you know,
thirty four thirty five games. I don't know that we'll
ever get to forty, but I think that it's so
it's trending that way in the next few years.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
We're going to keep adding games to the regular seas.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
That's what Mark Pope wants. He wants to get it
to forty, which seems a little extreme. That's a lot
more games, but you know what, he did have a
great reason. The guys have a better GPA when they're
in the season, and then inside and outside of it.
So this just make the whole year.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
So I'm for expanding the regular season. What I'm not
for is another conversation that's going on right now, and
it looks like they're going to expand the NCAA tournament.
I've always said the nc DOUBLEA Tournament is the best
thing in sports. Don't mess with it. You know, they
went from sixty four to sixty eight. I said, Okay,
you get the playing games, but do people really care?
I mean, unless you're a fan of one of those
teams playing, doesn't seem like people care a whole lot.

(40:00):
Then they were talking to going to seventy two. Now
at seventy six. At some point, though, where does it end?
You know, if we go to seventy six in five
to ten years, are we going to go to ninety six? Like,
it just keeps expanding. And I know that it's all
about money, right, but at some point you're sacrificing I
feel like the quality of the tournament and what it
means to make the tournament just so we can have

(40:20):
more games and make more money.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
Yeah, I agree, And then I mean, you're gonna get
some below five hundred teams that probably don't even deserve
to make the PO season, but at least would have
a chance.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
You're going to see some coach with the resume, you know,
down the road that oh he's made it, you know,
twenty straight years into the NCAA tournament. Well, so what
you know, they're letting seventy six teams in. It's not
that great of an achievement.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
Right, It's not the same as it used to be.
But they're doing the same thing with college football playoff too.
More sports, we're getting plenty of. Shannon, tell me about
