Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome everybody. It is the KSR Pre Show Monday, July seventh,
Shannon the Dude back in studio being joined by Billy Rutledge.
He's in Lexington. You can give us a call on
the Clark's Pupping Shop full line eight five nine two
eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Send us the text
at five O two two six five six six five
six And the KSR Pre Show is always being brought
(00:22):
to you by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington. I'm
back after a week long vacation. Billy our sports held
it down and then we ran bust Ofs a couple
of days last week. And uh, Billy, I don't know
about you, but the neighbors are still setting off fireworks
even last night. And I don't know, like what the
the protocol is for fireworks, but I think that after
(00:43):
the fourth of July it should be over.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
It's been a long weekend too, so you've had ample
time to get the fireworks off, so now now it's
time to shut it off for all the veterans and
all the dogs out there. But I'm fired up, I'm refreshed,
ready to go after the long weekend. It's great to
have you back, Shannon. You know, the same is you
don't know what you got till it's gone. Well, you
don't know how much work you have to do when
Shannon the Dude's out until he's out, so you have
(01:06):
to do all the work.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
So you had to come in and you actually had
to do my job last week. Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, for the most part, I ended up producing KSR
two days last week and had some guests in the
Louisville building. Thank you to Rachel Elliott, Terry Miners, and
our guy Mario for joining us as co host on
the pre show last week. But yeah, I had to
get a little taste of Shannon the Dude's life last
week doing your job.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
You did my job. You only produced KOSR, right, Yeah, yeah,
you realized like that's it's not really doing my job, Like, well, you.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Know, I didn't. I didn't do the two afternoon shows
or my job as with the Yatto Pilot in the
mornings that you do before the KSR pre show. But
I did. I did the you know, the main stuff,
produce KSR. And let me tell you, I have a
newfound respect for your multitasking. Shannon Matt's trying to ask
me something. I'm trying to answer a call. I'm trying
to get a song cued up, ready to go. I mean,
(01:55):
there's a lot going on in the in the Louisville building.
So glad you're back, dude, Yeah, glad to be back.
I'll tell you about some of the things that happened
while I was gone. But first of all, come back, Billy,
and these it's so hot outside.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
These are like the hottest days of the year right now.
And of course this is exactly when my AC unit
decides to kick the bucket. I'm done. Yeah, So I've
got a hot house that I came back to. Not
happy about that, and I may just stay here at
the station. You know, at least we got AC. The
thing is, though, that QMF couch. I don't know that
I would fill home staying in the studio without the
(02:29):
QMF couch, which I believe love. That's gone, isn't It
was left at the old building. It had been there
for fifty years.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Nobody wanted to touch it to move it. I think
it's I have spent a.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Lot, a lot of nights on that QMF couch. I'm
just saying, but you know, sleeping on the floor in
AC here at the station or going home to a
ninety degree house. I don't know. I might, I may
take the floor, may just spa just stay here tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Look, man, welcome to the worst season of the year. Shannon.
We talked about it last year, and the people that
disagreed haven't had their AC broken recently. So you got
a hot house.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Last year this happened to me. I had to go
to Costco and buy one of those portable AC units. Shannon,
Are you gonna do that orre you just gonna hold out?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I'm not. And it's funny you say that because I
just saw on the news this morning there's an AC
unit from Costco that has a recall on it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Uh oh yeah, So I better check my cereal.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You better check and see which one you got because
you might have one of those recalled AC units from Costco.
You don't want to.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Catch fire in my garage or something. But it was
a lifesaver. I had to have it. I mean, there
was there's nothing I could do. You're just gonna wait
it out until the handyman comes over, the HVAC guy.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah. Well, that's that's the plan later on today. I
hate to come in and start complaining, but I have
to hold my headphones with one hand right now because
if I don't, I can't hear. When I let go
of it, it goes out. So right now, like if
somebody calls eight five nine two eight twenty two eighty seven,
I can't let go of my headphones because if I do,
(03:54):
I won't be able to hear. I come back and
immediately I have headphones that don't work. I can hear
them right now as long as I hold them in
this exact spot that I've got them right now with
my right hand, but if I let off, it goes out.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Well. They worked fine for me.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Shannon.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I don't know what you did during the Jerry Eve
Show this morning, but I'm watching you right now on
our Daily Team's call, and you're having to hold the
headphones right now. Your right arm's over here. You've got
to hold it the entire time.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
It's a newer studio, new equipment, and you've got to
stand on one leg and hold the headphones with the
right hand in order for anything to work in here.
It's unbelievable. You're a GM Billy, why can't you get
on top of this and get me some you know,
this was an issue.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I mean, we didn't have an issue. It's like when
some people come in and headphones just randomly break as
soon as they enter the studio. It's like they weren't
broken when you got there. So Shannon, we'll try to fix.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
That, all right. So anyway, went down to Florida last week,
took the you know, did a road trip, didn't do
the flight, so decided to you know, we're going to
do ten hour drive. It's fine, but I got to
tell you this. I haven't told anybody the story. Well
I did tell Tom Bleach, so other than Tom, Tom
Bleach is the only person that least Tom Leach off
the ear knows the story. But you ever do something,
you go, why did I just do that? Like? Well,
(05:03):
what am I thinking? Why?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Every day from nine to ten am Okay?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
So I'm on the road trip going down to Florida,
stop off for gas at this random, little Alabama town
I can't even remember the name of. It doesn't matter
as it pertains to the story, but it's this little
small Alabama town. I stop off and get some gas
and I'm sitting there pupping my gas. And on the
other side of the pump is this guy who's a
construction worker. He's still got his construction gear on, and
(05:28):
he's got like, you know, you can tell he's been working.
He's got the dirty hands and everything, the grime and
the grease all over his hands. And he reaches he
looks out at his window and he goes, hey, man,
want chip. I go, no, man, I'm good, I don't
want to chip. But I'm sitting there pupping my gas.
And minute goes by, and I'm, you know, kind of
(05:49):
curious why the guy would ask do you want to chip?
That seems really random, like do you want to chip?
I've never looked at a random person Billy and go, hey,
you want a chip? But then I go, all right,
I'm curious what kind of chick does this guy have
that he's offering me a potato chip out of his window.
I go, hey, man, what kind of chips you got there?
Because he's digging in right, I'm like, there's must be
some good chips he's offering. And again he holds up
(06:11):
he holds up a pringles can and he goes, they're
miller like chicken. Flavorite pringles, and I go, what, Miller
like chicken flavorite pringles? Never even heard of such a thing.
He goes, yeah, man, they're good. You sure you don't
want one? And I go, all right, get me one,
get me one. The curiosity got the best of me,
(06:32):
so I tried one, and I got to tell you,
I'm not endorsing them, but it was actually kind of good.
But then immediately after doing that and seeing this guy
with his grubby hands, number one, I'm going, I shouldn't
have taken the pringle because you know, if you reach
into a Pringles can, you're not just touching one chip,
You're touching all of them. You're just touching multiple chips.
And then I'm also thinking, what who knows like this?
(06:52):
This guy? I mean, I guess he ate it, so
I guess it's okay. But you know they tell you
don't ever take candy from a stranger. Here I am
this is the adult version. Ever take pringles from a
construction worker in a small Alabama town at a gas station.
But here we are. So then I go inside and
I'm trying to find him because I'm like, that's pretty good.
I think maybe I'll pick up a can can't fight
(07:12):
them anywhere in the store. So now I'm like, Okay,
where did this guy get them? He's gone by the
way by the time I come outside to ask, So
I don't know if like, this is a real thing,
or if this guy, you know, just made some Miller
Lite chicken flavored Pringles next to his meth lab in
his basement. I have no idea why I tried a
pringle from a random guy's pringle can, but but here
(07:34):
we are, and.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
He's the hell out of you. It sounds like Shane
got a taste to heaven and then he left.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I immediately kind of regretted it, but then I'm like,
you know what, it's good. But now I don't know, like,
can you find is this a real thing? Did you
look it up?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I looked. I just looked it up. There's a limited
edition Pringles cans that have beer caned chicken or grilled
beer brought in stores right now. Yeah, Shaded. I was
initially like, what are you doing eating people's chips in
a gas station parking lot? But then you said beer
canned chicken or Miller Lite chicken, Like, in my curiosity,
(08:07):
rose Man, I would love to try that you said
it was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
It was all right. It was one and I kind
of like did the thing like rore. I took a
bite of it, but I didn't eat the whole chip.
And after I'm chewing it, I'm going, I don't know
why I'm eating, and I kind of threw away like
the rust of the chip.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
So I eat like half of the chip, bit half
a chip, and then threw the rest of the way.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Know what, Like after you've already committed to getting the
chip out of the pringles can where this guy's grimy
hands have already been touching them, and you eat half
the chip. I don't know why I just didn't commit
to eating the full chip at this point, but I
was kind of like, you know what, I kind of
want to try it. I'm curious enough to try it.
I don't know that I want to eat the whole thing.
But what difference would it make at this point?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, I think you should have just uh just had it,
should have had the whole chip at that point. I mean,
you're right, you're already had half of the guy's fingers
digging into the pringles can trying to get a chip.
But what a guy, I mean obviously not sold at
that gas station. He was just spread in the gospeital
I can the Miller Lite chicken? And this sounds like
a CA's our pre show topic that I've ever heard one.
(09:04):
I mean, maybe we need to find if there's they
are in stores here in this state.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I even went up to the clerk and I asked,
I'm like, do you guys sell this? I've heard of them,
but we don't have them. I'm thinking, Okay, the guy's
eating chips in a gas station parking lot. He had
to have gotten them from the store itself, but no,
my guy was just their pupping gas. And I guess,
like you said, spreading the gospel of the Pringles Miller
Lite chicken that I didn't even know was a thing.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
The available nationwide starting in May. So obviously this has
been going on for a couple of months at this point,
so much so now he's going to random gas stations
and saying, hey, you want some of my chips?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
All right, So I'll tell you more stories and stuff
that was going on throughout my week long vacation. I
feel like we do have to get to the big
story of the day. You know, a lot of times
during a summer show. We don't have a whole lot
of Kentucky news to talk about, but Kentucky football over
the weekend did get a huge commit a dual, duo
sport athlete.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Is that multi sports sports good?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah? Matt Panatowski. Is that how you say his name? Panatowski?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Think so?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Think so? He will play quarterback for Kentucky football in
the twenty sixth class. By the way, ranked ninth in
the nation at quarterback. So we're not just talking about
any guy, you know, any random quarterback. A guy that
was top ten in the nation, that is top ten
in the nation coming to commit to play football for Kentucky. Also, though,
will be playing baseball for the Kentucky team from Minjo
(10:29):
and a guy that was an All American shortstop. He's
been clocked billy at ninety seven miles an hour, So
the guy's got a cannon, to say the least. And
he says his goal is to be drafted in both sports,
both Major League Baseball and the NFL. I was trying
to think, like, what other multi sport athletes have we
had at Kentucky. Ben Jordan comes to mind, who was
(10:50):
on the basketball roster and played baseball.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah, somebody that was very talented in high school. I
don't know if it was a Kentucky was Freddy Maggert yees,
somebody that was really good at baseball. I don't know
if you ever played for Kentucky, though I know he
was a dual sport athlete. You know, this is different
than the Travis Hunter situation, right, Travis was playing both
sides of the ball in the same sport. This guy
is going to be playing two different sports. And we
(11:13):
heard more about it back in the day. But as
the year's gone on, and you know, kids are specializing
in one sport from an early age, you don't see
this as often or much anymore. You know. I guess
Bo Jackson comes to mind as oh yeah, and Deon
Sanders as two guys that really did it. You know,
I love this win for Kentucky football. It brings a
little excitement to the quarterback room that has a guy
(11:35):
like Stone Saunders coming in, Cutter Bowley who they're starting
to develop. That's what you want to see. You want
to see recruiting and development. But like, is there a
chance that this guy just goes to the MLB draft? Shannon,
Because you know, it looks like he's a top fifteen
MLB prospect as well. Will there be a time where
he decides to take the money before ever playing college football.
That's a risk that Kentucky's having to take when taking
(11:57):
on this guy.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah. Yeah, But as I just said, I mean, and
his goal is to be drafted in both. So could
he leave and just go to the MLB draft, Sure,
But if he truly wants to be also an NFL pick,
he's gonna have to go to college. He's gonna have
to play in the SEC. So because his goal is
to be drafted in the NFL, I think that he
comes to Kentucky and we get you know, I don't know,
(12:20):
a year or two out of him, at least, I
would think.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Well, you're right about the elite arm strength. I mean,
I saw a little bit of his tape for football,
and that guy can really sling it. And if he's
a shortstop or third baseman and he's winning Gatorade Player
of the Year, I'm sure he has that athletic ability.
But I don't think every coach in the SEC would
allow this, Shannon, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong.
I mean, I feel like there is a thought that
you need to put your entire being into being a quarterback, right,
(12:46):
and now this would be a guy that would be
playing a completely different sport in the spring. You know,
it's great that he's doing it. And we've heard that
kids that play different multiple sports are the best athletes. Right,
You're developing a lot more things than just the specialized
sport that you're in. But at the college level, Shannon,
we don't see it that much for a reason. You
have to be a really special athlete to be able
(13:07):
to do both at a high level. And so hopefully
this guy can be that. But exciting news here in
the middle of the summer, no doubt. Somebody says, Shane Boyd,
is that true? Played football in baseball for UK. You know,
I'm not sure, not sure on that.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
So yeah, there's very few when you think about over
the years multi sport athletes and not just you know,
multi sport athletes, but guys that could do it at
a high level. Again, we're talking about a top ten
quarterback in the nation. We're talking about a guy who
is an All American baseball player, maybe the most talented guy.
I mean, maybe should pump the breaks a little bit
he hasn't even stepped on the campus yet, you know,
(13:41):
to play yet. But you start looking at those accolades
that he's had already in high school. Could be maybe
the most talented guy that Kentucky has ever had on
football or baseball.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I mean, it's a top ten quarterback that you're bringing in,
So I mean it's obviously a win for you in
that recruiting class. You know, when does he get on
the field. There's a lot of guys in front of
him right now. Is Mark Stoops still the coach by
the time he's ready to be on the field there
These are all fair questions to have, but at the
same time, you also need to highlight the fact that
Kentucky is motivated shit and.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Mark Stoops is motivated.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Some of these recruiting wins over the last month, you know,
are a good indications that you know, they're still out
there and getting the guys that they want. They flip
a four star recruit from Auburn because Hugh Freeze is
playing too much golf and Mark Stoops swoops in and
gets this guy. So you know, that's what you want
to see in the off season. Some recruiting wins and
a big one here with the Cincinnati quarterback.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
That's right, A couple of big recruit you know, a
few big recruits after Vince Merril leaves. I don't think
you got right.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
You got to go out there and hit the ground
running and you got something to prove motivated.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Mark Stoops, I love it. I think after that big
recruiting win, get the guy an old fashion and a
cigar and let's go. Eight fop nine to two, twenty
two eighty seven. We're gonna take a break. We'll be
right back. It is the KSR pre Show. All right,
welcome back. It is the KSR pre Show. He Fop
nine to two, eight h twenty two eighty seven. Billy,
do you know who this is?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I don't know who is it this is.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I'm curious to say, to see if you if you
know what her or who she is? Even when I
say her name Lauri Morgan, Do you know who Lorie
Morgan is? Mm? Hm No, okay, country singer from the nineties.
I gathered it still active anyway. Apparently she owns a
house right across from the condos that I you know,
I'll stay in down in Panama City Beach, and she's
(15:27):
down there, just on the beach, hanging out, and she's
got this big tent that's almost advertising that she's there.
But she's just hanging out on the beach and it
says Keith Whitley, who she was married to, who's another
nineties eighties nine country singer, And uh, I kind of
wanted to go up and like, you know, introduce myself
and get a picture, but everybody else was doing it,
and I'm like, you know what, I'm not going to
(15:48):
be that guy and go up there and bother So
I didn't. I don't know if you're like that when
you see somebody out and that, you know, like it's
a celebrity in public. Yeah, I was kind of hesitant
to go. I mean, it would be to get a
picture with Lori Morgan who's just hanging out on the
beach twenty yards away from me and has a big
tent that says her ex husband's name on it.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
So is she like signing autographs?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
No, no, no, no, She's just vacationing on the beach.
Like I said, like, like were my condo complexes in
Panama City Beach there's these big beach houses right across
the street, and I didn't realize it until, you know,
doing the little research. She actually owns one of those
beach houses. She's just out there like I am, just
sitting out in the sand and joining the beach and
(16:32):
hanging out. It's not like it was a paid appearance
or anything.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Well yeah, I mean I didn't know if she was
just you know, trying to make a quick buck while
on vacation too. But I would have probably done the
same and not approached her. There's something about seeing somebody
on vacation or at a restaurant. They probably get mobbed
enough they don't need to see that with me. I
was too scared to talk to Jameis Winston a couple.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Of years ago.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
That's probably my big regret, Shannon, because that guy, he'd
probably giving me the time of day.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah. Yeah, And they say don't meet your heroes. Not
that Laurie Morgan's a hero of mine, but I know
who she is. I like her music. I was like, yeah,
it would be cool to go up and get a
selfie with Lori Morgan on the beach, But I don't
know that that's, you know, something I should be doing,
so I kind of just let it go. But again, though,
like when you put the big tent up that says
Keith Whitley, I kind of feel like you're advertising hey here,
I am.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure that she had probably somebody set
up a big tent like that with Keith Whitley's name
on it, right, I mean, did she have some people
with her or was it just her?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
There were there were a few other people. Yeah. And
the way, by the way that I found out that
it was her is that somebody posted on social media, Hey,
Louri Morgan is hanging out right across from our condos
on the beach. So I was going to the beach anyway,
and I'm like, well, I wonder where she is. I
wonder if I could just like and then sure enough,
there she is right right.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Then had just gone over there and said, you know,
I host not one, but two afternoon radio shows.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
That's right, rock radio shows, and both of which play
none of your songs. That's because you're a country and
I'm rock.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
That's right. Sorry, I was a little distracted. I bought
a three pack of Pringles during the break. Somebody sent
me a link Shannon to our grilled beer, brought beer,
canned chicken and beer bray Steak flavors. Wow, I just ordered,
so we will. I'm sure try that when those come out.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I'll tell you what. We got a remote coming up Friday.
Save some for me. We'll try them at the remote
and we'll give a Pringles Miller Lite review.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
On the tells me it's going to be here on Friday,
so if I get it before the remote, we'll try
it then.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Okay, that sounds good. Eight five nine two twenty two
eighty seven. So we got some new Draft Kings copy

Hey, how you doing? Guys? And good?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Good?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Hey, you should have offered Lori Morgan a ship or something.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I didn't have them. I didn't you know, I didn't
buy those those chips because I couldn't find them in
the store.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
So I didn't have loved you though if you would
have brought over some of those.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Yeah, well, you know, I've had all three, and you
definitely have a beer when you eat those.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I would think that anything that's called a miller, like
chicken flavored chip would go good with a beer.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah. It enhances the palette when you're eating the chips.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Okay, all right, so you're a fan of them, then
you give it a two thumbs up?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Ye give it.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
It depends how many beers.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
You have before he got all right. Sounds like a
good munchie or late night. Yep, thanks for the call, Tennis,
appreciate it all right. Man. Uh speaking of eating the
hot dog contest, did you watch that Billy the hot
Dog getting contest? The great thing about the Nathan's Hot
Dog Getting contest is, as I'm sitting sitting there watching
the contest, eating a Nathan hot dog of my own.
(20:54):
I have zero guilt about going back for a second
or even a third hot dog. When I watched Joey
chest eat seventy and a half in ten minutes. Now
here's the thing. He didn't break his own record. Billy.
You know, every great athlete has a peak in their career.
So I'm just saying, is it possible that we are
seeing Joey chest Nut Maybe he's lost a step. You know,
(21:18):
he wasn't able to break his own record seventy and
a half dogs. It was good enough to win, but
he didn't break his own record. So I'm thinking that
maybe Joey Chestnut is on the decline in his career.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Well, you know, you thought he might come out and
try to make a statement after being banned from the
competition last year. But my argument is he doesn't have
Kobyashi there to push him those few extra dogs, you know.
I mean, when you're a competitor and you have somebody
that's close, then you're gonna go the extra mile. I mean,
he's beaten these guys by fifteen twenty dogs, so I
mean he can coast by the end of it. But
(21:48):
there may be no better man besides Joey Chess at
these events than the announcer, the guy with the straw hat. Yeah,
it's like talking in soliloquies and saying, you know, this
man comes from yards of angels that have gone throughout
the earth, and just how over the top he is
makes the event even better. But again, Joey chestnutt winner
(22:09):
of the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest once again.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah, I want to be that guy one day. I
want to take his job, the announcer. I mean, he's
more over the top than WWE ring announcers would be
best mate.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
He's crazy a cameo from next guy.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Doing the other three hundred and sixty four days of
the year though.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Us he goes to the green Beans contest, there's the
same thing.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
We'll take a break, be right back. Ksrpre show eight five, nine,
two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. This is Black Sabbath
right here, Billy. Yeah, I don't know if you saw this,
but over the weekend they played the final ever Black
Sabbath show, which was really like not even really a show.
They've played like four songs. It doesn't even really count
as a show, and you only play four songs, but
(22:47):
I think Ozzie did four, maybe five songs. But I'll
bring this up because it was funny at the end
of it for those of you who didn't watch it.
You know Ozzi he was out there like on a
throne that he can't walk. Yeah, right, he's got Parkinson
in there thing, so he's you know, he's battling in
this illness. So it's it's pretty amazing that he did
the show to begin with. But they have him out
there on a throne. But at the end of the show,
billy fireworks are going off. The band walks off stage
(23:12):
and the camera cuts over to Ozzy and he goes,
you can read his lips. He goes, I'm stuck on
this blanket stage. Somebody come get me. So the band
has already left him on stage. The fireworks are going off,
and there's Ozzy just sitting there on his throne and
he can't get up, and nobody's coming to get him.
They just left poor old grandpa out there on the
stage at the end of the show. And I'm like,
(23:33):
inspeck to Ozzy, somebody come get the man. Don't just
leave him out there like a like a dummy sitting
out there on the throne.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, I carry that thrown off many final goodbye. I
didn't know he had to hit the life alert button
to get off stage. But I did see the event,
you know, guns and Roses playing. You know, there was
there's a lot of big bands out there. I think
Jack Black was even there to play a song or
something like that.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I didn't see. I didn't see all that, so I
didn't see.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
So there was a lot of stars there, and it
was sad to see the final performances of Ozzy. I
got to see him. I think it was it louder
than life, one of the first years that I moved here.
But you're right, not walking around much anymore, still giving
the middle finger to fans and giving some big bug guys.
But it'll sad to see Ozzy go, but glad that
we can give him his flowers while he's still alive.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Now. I always pride myself while I'm on vacation, I
don't listen to the shows at all. I'm able to,
you know, sort of unplug from the shows itself. I'm
still on social media, though, and the one thing that
I did see come across my Twitter feed was Mario's
video of Bobby Bones calling Kentucky the worst fan base
(24:40):
in all of sports. Bobby Bones and I did see
Matt's rebuttal, which I thought was great, But then I
guess Bobby then came back on the comment section on
like a TikTok video or whatever it was. I was like, oh, yeah,
typical rage Baier. I would expect a lot more from
Matt in the past, but not now. And I'm going, dude,
you started this to begin with with your six teeth
(25:01):
joke that you thought was hilarious, and I you know,
I'm a sucker for a good back and forth feud,
whether it be musicians or media members or weather men,
whatever it is. So I'm just kind of digging in
on this Bobby Bones Matt Jones feud that's going on
between the two. I thought they were buddies, but here
we are. Now Bobby Bones has gone hill on Kentucky.
I mean, remember it was just a few years ago
(25:21):
that he hosted KSR during a summer show when Matt
was out. I mean, Matt went to the guy's wedding,
and now we've got this feud going on back and
forth between the two, and I'm kind of enjoying it.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
To be honest with you, well that just happened to
be our worst summer show that year as well. I
don't know if you remember, Shannon, Bobby did not bring
the energy. He brought more energy combating the Kentucky fans
than he did really anything that day. But don't get
it twisted. I like how Bobby used the term rage
baterer when commenting on Matt's video because I thought this
is exactly what he was doing, Shannon. He needed a
little bit of the KSR audience and bump and the
(25:55):
best way to do it is to insult them and
get him riled up, saying that they've got six teeth
and just a couple thousand fans.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Oh so they go, oh poor me?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Oh oh yeah exactly. So don't get too worked up
over this. This is a media typical media move for
attention in these summer months, Shannon, And you know what,
KSR has got a big audience, so why not dig
in and try to get them a little angry right now?
But disappointed in Bobby, you know, I don't know if
the cow things get into his head a little bit,
or he's done, He's done. Woopig Suey too many times
(26:25):
and that cult but disappointing remarks from him. But glad
that Matt had that rebuttal.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
The thing that I do remember when he when Bobby
Bones hosted KSR is that I had no direct communication
with Bobby Bones whatsoever as as the producer of the show.
So I guess, like you know, he had Bobby Bones
had to go through his own show producer to communicate
to me what he needed or what his requests were.
And I'm like, really, dude, like we've had We've had
(26:51):
much bigger guys, no offense Bobby Bones. We've had bigger
guys on this show who have hosted, and they never
needed to go through somebody else to talk to me,
like they would just directly talk to me. Some of
them even brought me on the show and I could
co host with them. But Bobby Bones, for some reason,
I guess, you know, he was up on his high
horse and he thought that, you know, he can't talk
(27:13):
to the producer of the show. He needs to talk
to somebody else to go through to get to me.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
There's more little company when you have like my people
reach out. It was you can talk to my people
and we'll get connected.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
It was bizarre. I'm like, what, Like, why can't he
just talk? Like, Hey, I got a microphone, you get
a microphone. Well right here, we're connected. Why don't you
just talk to me?
Speaker 2 (27:33):
But no, Look, he had to go through his producer first,
and look, I don't know how much talk radio he's done.
But look, it's a different animal when you get on
AM radio and you've got two hours to fill, right,
I mean, Bobby can do his couple minute segments before
he plays another country track. You know much about it,
Shannon doing all those rock radio shows, it's different when
that red light goes on and you've got to answer callers,
your your opinions are tested. So probably a good thought
(27:56):
that Bobby won't be back on these airwaves hosting anytime
soon after that.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Another thing that happened while I was gone, Billy, you
probably talked about this on the pre show, but college
basketball video games are coming back, and I talked about this.
This is you know, I was kind of a video
game nerd when I was younger. Love playing video games,
especially at the sports games, and for the longest time,
we haven't had a college basketball video game, and it's
(28:20):
coming back. Now, I guess it's not going to be
for a few more years. But do you have an Xbox?
Do you have a PlayStation? Because right now I have neither.
I sold all of that. I don't have any sort
of video gaming console except for the old school Nintendo
like from the eighties. I still have that because I
would not give that up, right Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Like to break out Pong and don yeah every now
it's an antique.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
He can't get rid of that. But I don't have
any sort of updated video game gaming console. But I'm
thinking when this comes out, I got to go out
and buy either an Xbox or a PlayStation. Do you
have either one of those? In our you team Xbox
or team PlayStation.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yeah. I bought an Xbox last year when the new
college football video game came out, which is the new
one is coming out this week. Shannon College Football will
be out. Depending on if you pre ordered or whatever
you get early access, it'll be this week when it
comes out. But yeah, I will definitely be making the
purchase and twenty twenty eight whenever that comes out.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
You know.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
The guys on the current Kentucky team made some remarks
after the headline came out saying how good they would be.
They would definitely be a team that would be banned
when guys are playing each other because they'd be too good.
And I'd like to think that. But look, this is exciting.
I My guy Mario is right next to me here,
and I mean he was more excited than anybody when
this news came out because to a younger generation, they've
(29:34):
missed out on a lot of years. I think the
last one was twenty ten with Black Griffin on the cover.
So just like you, a lot of people share that excitement,
and especially in this state when college basketball means a lot,
so looking forward to when that actually does.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
You can't get picky. But look, this may be a
controversial take. You had EA Sports college basketball, you had
two K Sports college basketball. I always thought that two
K was way better than the two K was better. Okay,
I was reading the comments and everybody's like, you're crazy.
EA Sports version of college basketball was way better. I'm like, No,
EA Sports version of like Madden, like the NFL was,
(30:10):
was far superior, I think than any other version of
the NFL game that existed. If you're talking college basketball,
two K Sports was way better than EA Sports and
I don't think it's a debate.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah, WOP College Hoops two K was a classic. Now
the thing with two K is micro transactions, and EA
does a lot of the same where you know, you
can buy the base game, but if you want to excel,
you got to buy these little things and that's how
they get you nowadays. Shannon, Yeah, I'm excited for it.
I also like how in the New College Football Game
they will be giving money to schools based on how
many times people play with the individual teams. Oh so,
(30:42):
like last year the revenue that was given to schools
was split up by the quality of school, but now
it's based on the amount of online games each team
is played with. So essentially, you could make the University
of Kentucky money by playing as Kentucky in the New
College Football Game. So that's not a lot, but you
know it's something, right. I think what I need to
(31:03):
do is get the College Football Game. We could have
like a KSR league online league. I don't know how
that would work, but I think that you know, you
you probably know more about it than not good than
I do. You could probably set it up and we
could do like a KSR pre show league. We could
definitely do it, and it would be fun the first
couple of weeks, it's just about doing it after that.
I think Drew bought a PlayStation for the new College
(31:25):
Football Game and maybe played it the week it was
released and hasn't played it since. So, I mean there
is a point of like, you know, you got to
have some discipline if you want to do a dynasty
like that. But there's always a lot of listeners that
try to set things up like that. And and you know, Shannon,
if you make the purchase and you get an Xboxer PlayStation,
we'll set something up.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Like that, as long as I don't have to wait
on somebody else to play, because I remember I had.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
There is a little bit of that.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Okay, well, no, I think you know, you get a
certain time if you're not there to play the game,
you get that's right, you have a day eliminated.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
We're going to advance the week at this time, no
matter if you've played the game or not.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
But you know, Shannon, you got a lot to learn
and if you're gonna if you're gonna keep up with
some of the guys playing lately.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
So, speaking of this college football game, I don't know
if you saw this, but uh, Kentucky's punter Aidense.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
They're not sure, but they did him.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
They have they did him really dirty. You know, they
have like ratings for each player, you know, like agility
and uh, you know, quickness and I guess you know strength.
They have one category on there that says toughness. And
out of all of the players on this college football game,
Aiden Larrose has a toughness rating of zero, not even
(32:37):
one point. I mean they my guy got done really
dirty by this game by giving him a toughness rating
of zero, not even a one.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Billy Yeah, that's not fair, Shannon. I mean, not a
single other player with the zero toughness rating either. I
would understand if they were like twenty guys, yeah, and
they were all punters that got the zero. But for
him to only get this zero, there had to be
a specific reason. There had to be an aid and
hater in the EA Sports Development team or what I mean.
(33:10):
I'd love to get his thoughts on it, because that
is so disrespectful. I cannot believe that only one guy
has a zero toughness level and it's this guy.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I mean, if I were creating Billy R. Sports. I
would give him a toughness level of zero. But I mean,
come on, we're talking about we're talking about a college
football player. I know he's a punter like Max Duffy.
We would give him at least a fifteen on the
toughness out of one hundred, not not a zero.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Right, So that had to be a mistake, right, I mean, yeah,
zero like your bubble boy, like you can't go outside, right,
like your immune system can't even work properly to zero.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
If you got a zero toughness ranking, you're going to
turn an ankle running out on the field to punt,
Like you're not even gonna make it out there for
the first kick. So I don't know that's and if
I'm him, I am writing, I am writing this video
game and demanding there be a change, Like, come on, man,
at least give me a one, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
All these players are getting paid to be in these
games now. But like you tell me my zero, my
toughness level is a zero. I don't even want to
be in the game. Shit, and take me out.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
A five nine twenty two eighty seven. Before we go
to break on a serious note, we need to, you know,
make sure we mentioned this that the flooding that has
happened in Texas where a lot of people lost their homes.
There's there's a kids camp were was affected by the flooding.
There's there's kids that are still missing from this. A
lot of people died in this terrible flooding that's happened
(34:36):
in Texas. So we just want to keep those people
in mind, and we have set up for iHeartRadio a
donation website. You can go to community Foundation dot net.
Community Foundation dot net. You can join us and donate
to the Kerr County Flood really fund Community Foundation dot net.
Its just a terrible situation down there.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yeah, it is. Some of the images are striking to
see that Guadaloupe River rise thirty feet in a matter
of an hour, and some of these stories we've heard
is terrible. So we keep thinking about everybody affected by
that terrible situation and hopefully those people can be found
as well.
Speaker 1 (35:11):

or give them a call eight five nine five two
(36:01):
three ten ninety eight. I'll tell you, Billy, one other
thing I was following very closely while I was gone.
That's this Crystal Rogers case that's been going on. And yes, yeah,
I mean, look, I don't get into a whole lot
of cases, but it's happened in Bardstown. It's one town
over from where I live, and it's I don't know, man.
(36:21):
I've been watching it and going, Okay, well, surely they've
got something on this guy, Brooks Halc the boyfriend, right,
he's been the main suspect this entire time. And I'm
watching it and getting the updates every you know, every day. Well,
I stay watching it. They didn't have it on TV,
but they do updates every day after after the trial
(36:41):
and the prosecution rest and they had nothing. And I'm going,
surely they would have something on this guy or they
wouldn't have made the arrest, right, And they don't. They
don't have a body, they don't have a murder scene,
they don't have a weapon, they don't really have a motive.
And I'm going, man, I don't have a good feeling
about this case because, you know, everybody's hoping that they
can finally solve this thing that's been going on. This
(37:03):
was ten years ago when this happened, and they still
don't have, from what they presented in court, nothing on
the guy. And I'm going, how long it's been ten years? Yeah,
and they had to move the case. They moved the
case to Bowling Green. My first thought is like, Okay,
are there really twelve people that have no idea about this.
I mean maybe so, I guess they they vetted the jurors.
Apparently the jurors don't know anything about this case. But
(37:26):
it's kind of crazy that you know, after you know,
watching the review of each day in court, that they
have nothing on the guy.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
So it's like they're trying to throw something against the
wall to see if it sticks.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Right now, I kind of feel like, I don't know,
Like I don't want to sound like the guy on
or commercial. I'm not an attorney if I look like
any but from what I've seen, I don't think they
got anything on him, and I feel like he's going
to walk.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Well, you know, you want closure for the family and
everybody involved, right but when something happened like ten years ago,
it's you know, it's only going to get harder and
harder to prove this point. Where are we at in
the in the trial? Is so jury deliberating? Are they
still that I think the okay?
Speaker 1 (38:05):
So the prosecution already wrapped up last week, the defense
wraps up today, it's their final day, and then tomorrow
it goes to the jury. So we'll find out. But
I don't know, man, I just I want there to
be closure on this, but from everything that they've presented,
it's like there's nothing like they've covered. And I definitely
agree like they sound suspicious in the interrogation video that's
(38:31):
been posted. I think they definitely know something. But when
you go, okay, that's the person that committed the crime,
they don't have anything that points directly to you.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Got to be a beyond a reasonable doubt and every
jury member has to agree. It can be really difficult.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
And I'm going, like, I know all about the case,
but if I didn't know anything about it, which is
what you're supposed to have no knowledge of the case
prior if you're a juror, And I'm thinking, okay, without
you know knowing the this suspicious I guess behavior of
the boyfriend and just seeing what was presented, Man, I
don't think I could convict the guy. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Have you ever been a part of a jury, Shannon?
Speaker 1 (39:10):
I actually got summoned to jury for Jefferson County, but
I don't live in Jefferson County anymore. So I had
to send a letter back going I've excused.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
I figured you'd stand up and say, hey, I've got
six radio shows to do every day. I can't possible
stream hardship. Yeah, but yeah, I ended up doing it
a few years ago and it's a long process.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
So eight five, nine, twenty two, eighty seven. Jackson's up next, Hey,
Jackson up, Jackson.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Hey, you guys doing good.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Good.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
I wanted touching that Aiden la Ross thing. I feel
like zero is just you can't justify the I mean,
he plays football in the SCC. I can understand if
it's like a Loubil punter in the ACC, but I
feel like zero's too much.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
I agree, and you throw in. Billy just mentioned to
me during the break that his dad was a rugby player.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah, I looked up his bio. His father played fourteen
seasons of division and rugby in South Africa and three
season professionally in France.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
No, that's a tough guy. Rugby is tough. I would
argue it's tougher than football. I mean those guys are
going out there with little to no protection and just
knocking the hell out of each other.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Well, how disappointing his dad when the toughness rating of
his son comes in as zero.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Yeah, imagine you're a rugby player, you played fourteen years
of rugby, just like you know, running into other grown
men and having you know them knock you down. And
then you have your son as a punter and he
gets a zero rating. That has to be a mistake,
though it has to be Skips Wally Walks too. I'm sure,
all right, jennything else, Jackson.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
My second thing was, I think about twenty twenty eight.
You have senior Trenton Noah in that video game. He's
gonna be ninety nine overall. Kentucky's gonna be the best team.
That's all he has.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
I love it, Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Jalen Lowell called Trento the best shooter he's ever seen Shannon,
So if that's case, by twenty twenty eight, he would
have a ninety nine overall shooting rating. I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
So imagine though, that you're one of the players that's
going to be out of college basketball before twenty twenty
eight and you don't get to be a part of it.
I don't know why they have to. Why does it
take three years? I feel like college football turned it
around quickly. They announced it, then it was out like
later that year.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
I don't know, Well, it was actually a year or
two before the college football game came out, but they
got to go to each school and make sure you
get the traditions right. I want to make sure they
get it right instead of a rush product. But I
am excited just like you did.

the Clark's Pupping Shop full line eight five nine two
eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Send us the text
at five O two two six five six six five
six And the KSR Pre Show is always being brought
(00:22):
to you by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington. I'm
back after a week long vacation. Billy our sports held
it down and then we ran bust Ofs a couple
of days last week. And uh, Billy, I don't know
about you, but the neighbors are still setting off fireworks
even last night. And I don't know, like what the
the protocol is for fireworks, but I think that after
(00:43):
the fourth of July it should be over.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
It's been a long weekend too, so you've had ample
time to get the fireworks off, so now now it's
time to shut it off for all the veterans and
all the dogs out there. But I'm fired up, I'm refreshed,
ready to go after the long weekend. It's great to
have you back, Shannon. You know, the same is you
don't know what you got till it's gone. Well, you
don't know how much work you have to do when
Shannon the Dude's out until he's out, so you have
(01:06):
to do all the work.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
So you had to come in and you actually had
to do my job last week. Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, for the most part, I ended up producing KSR
two days last week and had some guests in the
Louisville building. Thank you to Rachel Elliott, Terry Miners, and
our guy Mario for joining us as co host on
the pre show last week. But yeah, I had to
get a little taste of Shannon the Dude's life last
week doing your job.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
You did my job. You only produced KOSR, right, Yeah, yeah,
you realized like that's it's not really doing my job, Like, well, you.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Know, I didn't. I didn't do the two afternoon shows
or my job as with the Yatto Pilot in the
mornings that you do before the KSR pre show. But
I did. I did the you know, the main stuff,
produce KSR. And let me tell you, I have a
newfound respect for your multitasking. Shannon Matt's trying to ask
me something. I'm trying to answer a call. I'm trying
to get a song cued up, ready to go. I mean,
(01:55):
there's a lot going on in the in the Louisville building.
So glad you're back, dude, Yeah, glad to be back.
I'll tell you about some of the things that happened
while I was gone. But first of all, come back, Billy,
and these it's so hot outside.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
These are like the hottest days of the year right now.
And of course this is exactly when my AC unit
decides to kick the bucket. I'm done. Yeah, So I've
got a hot house that I came back to. Not
happy about that, and I may just stay here at
the station. You know, at least we got AC. The
thing is, though, that QMF couch. I don't know that
I would fill home staying in the studio without the
(02:29):
QMF couch, which I believe love. That's gone, isn't It
was left at the old building. It had been there
for fifty years.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Nobody wanted to touch it to move it. I think
it's I have spent a.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Lot, a lot of nights on that QMF couch. I'm
just saying, but you know, sleeping on the floor in
AC here at the station or going home to a
ninety degree house. I don't know. I might, I may
take the floor, may just spa just stay here tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Look, man, welcome to the worst season of the year. Shannon.
We talked about it last year, and the people that
disagreed haven't had their AC broken recently. So you got
a hot house.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Last year this happened to me. I had to go
to Costco and buy one of those portable AC units. Shannon,
Are you gonna do that orre you just gonna hold out?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I'm not. And it's funny you say that because I
just saw on the news this morning there's an AC
unit from Costco that has a recall on it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Uh oh yeah, So I better check my cereal.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You better check and see which one you got because
you might have one of those recalled AC units from Costco.
You don't want to.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Catch fire in my garage or something. But it was
a lifesaver. I had to have it. I mean, there
was there's nothing I could do. You're just gonna wait
it out until the handyman comes over, the HVAC guy.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah. Well, that's that's the plan later on today. I
hate to come in and start complaining, but I have
to hold my headphones with one hand right now because
if I don't, I can't hear. When I let go
of it, it goes out. So right now, like if
somebody calls eight five nine two eight twenty two eighty seven,
I can't let go of my headphones because if I do,
(03:54):
I won't be able to hear. I come back and
immediately I have headphones that don't work. I can hear
them right now as long as I hold them in
this exact spot that I've got them right now with
my right hand, but if I let off, it goes out.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Well. They worked fine for me.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Shannon.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I don't know what you did during the Jerry Eve
Show this morning, but I'm watching you right now on
our Daily Team's call, and you're having to hold the
headphones right now. Your right arm's over here. You've got
to hold it the entire time.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
It's a newer studio, new equipment, and you've got to
stand on one leg and hold the headphones with the
right hand in order for anything to work in here.
It's unbelievable. You're a GM Billy, why can't you get
on top of this and get me some you know,
this was an issue.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I mean, we didn't have an issue. It's like when
some people come in and headphones just randomly break as
soon as they enter the studio. It's like they weren't
broken when you got there. So Shannon, we'll try to fix.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
That, all right. So anyway, went down to Florida last week,
took the you know, did a road trip, didn't do
the flight, so decided to you know, we're going to
do ten hour drive. It's fine, but I got to
tell you this. I haven't told anybody the story. Well
I did tell Tom Bleach, so other than Tom, Tom
Bleach is the only person that least Tom Leach off
the ear knows the story. But you ever do something,
you go, why did I just do that? Like? Well,
(05:03):
what am I thinking? Why?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Every day from nine to ten am Okay?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
So I'm on the road trip going down to Florida,
stop off for gas at this random, little Alabama town
I can't even remember the name of. It doesn't matter
as it pertains to the story, but it's this little
small Alabama town. I stop off and get some gas
and I'm sitting there pupping my gas. And on the
other side of the pump is this guy who's a
construction worker. He's still got his construction gear on, and
(05:28):
he's got like, you know, you can tell he's been working.
He's got the dirty hands and everything, the grime and
the grease all over his hands. And he reaches he
looks out at his window and he goes, hey, man,
want chip. I go, no, man, I'm good, I don't
want to chip. But I'm sitting there pupping my gas.
And minute goes by, and I'm, you know, kind of
(05:49):
curious why the guy would ask do you want to chip?
That seems really random, like do you want to chip?
I've never looked at a random person Billy and go, hey,
you want a chip? But then I go, all right,
I'm curious what kind of chick does this guy have
that he's offering me a potato chip out of his window.
I go, hey, man, what kind of chips you got there?
Because he's digging in right, I'm like, there's must be
some good chips he's offering. And again he holds up
(06:11):
he holds up a pringles can and he goes, they're
miller like chicken. Flavorite pringles, and I go, what, Miller
like chicken flavorite pringles? Never even heard of such a thing.
He goes, yeah, man, they're good. You sure you don't
want one? And I go, all right, get me one,
get me one. The curiosity got the best of me,
(06:32):
so I tried one, and I got to tell you,
I'm not endorsing them, but it was actually kind of good.
But then immediately after doing that and seeing this guy
with his grubby hands, number one, I'm going, I shouldn't
have taken the pringle because you know, if you reach
into a Pringles can, you're not just touching one chip,
You're touching all of them. You're just touching multiple chips.
And then I'm also thinking, what who knows like this?
(06:52):
This guy? I mean, I guess he ate it, so
I guess it's okay. But you know they tell you
don't ever take candy from a stranger. Here I am
this is the adult version. Ever take pringles from a
construction worker in a small Alabama town at a gas station.
But here we are. So then I go inside and
I'm trying to find him because I'm like, that's pretty good.
I think maybe I'll pick up a can can't fight
(07:12):
them anywhere in the store. So now I'm like, Okay,
where did this guy get them? He's gone by the
way by the time I come outside to ask, So
I don't know if like, this is a real thing,
or if this guy, you know, just made some Miller
Lite chicken flavored Pringles next to his meth lab in
his basement. I have no idea why I tried a
pringle from a random guy's pringle can, but but here
(07:34):
we are, and.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
He's the hell out of you. It sounds like Shane
got a taste to heaven and then he left.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I immediately kind of regretted it, but then I'm like,
you know what, it's good. But now I don't know, like,
can you find is this a real thing? Did you
look it up?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I looked. I just looked it up. There's a limited
edition Pringles cans that have beer caned chicken or grilled
beer brought in stores right now. Yeah, Shaded. I was
initially like, what are you doing eating people's chips in
a gas station parking lot? But then you said beer
canned chicken or Miller Lite chicken, Like, in my curiosity,
(08:07):
rose Man, I would love to try that you said
it was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
It was all right. It was one and I kind
of like did the thing like rore. I took a
bite of it, but I didn't eat the whole chip.
And after I'm chewing it, I'm going, I don't know
why I'm eating, and I kind of threw away like
the rust of the chip.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
So I eat like half of the chip, bit half
a chip, and then threw the rest of the way.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Know what, Like after you've already committed to getting the
chip out of the pringles can where this guy's grimy
hands have already been touching them, and you eat half
the chip. I don't know why I just didn't commit
to eating the full chip at this point, but I
was kind of like, you know what, I kind of
want to try it. I'm curious enough to try it.
I don't know that I want to eat the whole thing.
But what difference would it make at this point?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, I think you should have just uh just had it,
should have had the whole chip at that point. I mean,
you're right, you're already had half of the guy's fingers
digging into the pringles can trying to get a chip.
But what a guy, I mean obviously not sold at
that gas station. He was just spread in the gospeital
I can the Miller Lite chicken? And this sounds like
a CA's our pre show topic that I've ever heard one.
(09:04):
I mean, maybe we need to find if there's they
are in stores here in this state.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I even went up to the clerk and I asked,
I'm like, do you guys sell this? I've heard of them,
but we don't have them. I'm thinking, Okay, the guy's
eating chips in a gas station parking lot. He had
to have gotten them from the store itself, but no,
my guy was just their pupping gas. And I guess,
like you said, spreading the gospel of the Pringles Miller
Lite chicken that I didn't even know was a thing.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
The available nationwide starting in May. So obviously this has
been going on for a couple of months at this point,
so much so now he's going to random gas stations
and saying, hey, you want some of my chips?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
All right, So I'll tell you more stories and stuff
that was going on throughout my week long vacation. I
feel like we do have to get to the big
story of the day. You know, a lot of times
during a summer show. We don't have a whole lot
of Kentucky news to talk about, but Kentucky football over
the weekend did get a huge commit a dual, duo
sport athlete.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Is that multi sports sports good?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah? Matt Panatowski. Is that how you say his name? Panatowski?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Think so?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Think so? He will play quarterback for Kentucky football in
the twenty sixth class. By the way, ranked ninth in
the nation at quarterback. So we're not just talking about
any guy, you know, any random quarterback. A guy that
was top ten in the nation, that is top ten
in the nation coming to commit to play football for Kentucky. Also, though,
will be playing baseball for the Kentucky team from Minjo
(10:29):
and a guy that was an All American shortstop. He's
been clocked billy at ninety seven miles an hour, So
the guy's got a cannon, to say the least. And
he says his goal is to be drafted in both sports,
both Major League Baseball and the NFL. I was trying
to think, like, what other multi sport athletes have we
had at Kentucky. Ben Jordan comes to mind, who was
(10:50):
on the basketball roster and played baseball.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah, somebody that was very talented in high school. I
don't know if it was a Kentucky was Freddy Maggert yees,
somebody that was really good at baseball. I don't know
if you ever played for Kentucky, though I know he
was a dual sport athlete. You know, this is different
than the Travis Hunter situation, right, Travis was playing both
sides of the ball in the same sport. This guy
is going to be playing two different sports. And we
(11:13):
heard more about it back in the day. But as
the year's gone on, and you know, kids are specializing
in one sport from an early age, you don't see
this as often or much anymore. You know. I guess
Bo Jackson comes to mind as oh yeah, and Deon
Sanders as two guys that really did it. You know,
I love this win for Kentucky football. It brings a
little excitement to the quarterback room that has a guy
(11:35):
like Stone Saunders coming in, Cutter Bowley who they're starting
to develop. That's what you want to see. You want
to see recruiting and development. But like, is there a
chance that this guy just goes to the MLB draft? Shannon,
Because you know, it looks like he's a top fifteen
MLB prospect as well. Will there be a time where
he decides to take the money before ever playing college football.
That's a risk that Kentucky's having to take when taking
(11:57):
on this guy.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah. Yeah, But as I just said, I mean, and
his goal is to be drafted in both. So could
he leave and just go to the MLB draft, Sure,
But if he truly wants to be also an NFL pick,
he's gonna have to go to college. He's gonna have
to play in the SEC. So because his goal is
to be drafted in the NFL, I think that he
comes to Kentucky and we get you know, I don't know,
(12:20):
a year or two out of him, at least, I
would think.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Well, you're right about the elite arm strength. I mean,
I saw a little bit of his tape for football,
and that guy can really sling it. And if he's
a shortstop or third baseman and he's winning Gatorade Player
of the Year, I'm sure he has that athletic ability.
But I don't think every coach in the SEC would
allow this, Shannon, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong.
I mean, I feel like there is a thought that
you need to put your entire being into being a quarterback, right,
(12:46):
and now this would be a guy that would be
playing a completely different sport in the spring. You know,
it's great that he's doing it. And we've heard that
kids that play different multiple sports are the best athletes. Right,
You're developing a lot more things than just the specialized
sport that you're in. But at the college level, Shannon,
we don't see it that much for a reason. You
have to be a really special athlete to be able
(13:07):
to do both at a high level. And so hopefully
this guy can be that. But exciting news here in
the middle of the summer, no doubt. Somebody says, Shane Boyd,
is that true? Played football in baseball for UK. You know,
I'm not sure, not sure on that.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
So yeah, there's very few when you think about over
the years multi sport athletes and not just you know,
multi sport athletes, but guys that could do it at
a high level. Again, we're talking about a top ten
quarterback in the nation. We're talking about a guy who
is an All American baseball player, maybe the most talented guy.
I mean, maybe should pump the breaks a little bit
he hasn't even stepped on the campus yet, you know,
(13:41):
to play yet. But you start looking at those accolades
that he's had already in high school. Could be maybe
the most talented guy that Kentucky has ever had on
football or baseball.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I mean, it's a top ten quarterback that you're bringing in,
So I mean it's obviously a win for you in
that recruiting class. You know, when does he get on
the field. There's a lot of guys in front of
him right now. Is Mark Stoops still the coach by
the time he's ready to be on the field there
These are all fair questions to have, but at the
same time, you also need to highlight the fact that
Kentucky is motivated shit and.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Mark Stoops is motivated.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Some of these recruiting wins over the last month, you know,
are a good indications that you know, they're still out
there and getting the guys that they want. They flip
a four star recruit from Auburn because Hugh Freeze is
playing too much golf and Mark Stoops swoops in and
gets this guy. So you know, that's what you want
to see in the off season. Some recruiting wins and
a big one here with the Cincinnati quarterback.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
That's right, A couple of big recruit you know, a
few big recruits after Vince Merril leaves. I don't think
you got right.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
You got to go out there and hit the ground
running and you got something to prove motivated.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Mark Stoops, I love it. I think after that big
recruiting win, get the guy an old fashion and a
cigar and let's go. Eight fop nine to two, twenty
two eighty seven. We're gonna take a break. We'll be
right back. It is the KSR pre Show. All right,
welcome back. It is the KSR pre Show. He Fop
nine to two, eight h twenty two eighty seven. Billy,
do you know who this is?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I don't know who is it this is.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I'm curious to say, to see if you if you
know what her or who she is? Even when I
say her name Lauri Morgan, Do you know who Lorie
Morgan is? Mm? Hm No, okay, country singer from the nineties.
I gathered it still active anyway. Apparently she owns a
house right across from the condos that I you know,
I'll stay in down in Panama City Beach, and she's
(15:27):
down there, just on the beach, hanging out, and she's
got this big tent that's almost advertising that she's there.
But she's just hanging out on the beach and it
says Keith Whitley, who she was married to, who's another
nineties eighties nine country singer, And uh, I kind of
wanted to go up and like, you know, introduce myself
and get a picture, but everybody else was doing it,
and I'm like, you know what, I'm not going to
(15:48):
be that guy and go up there and bother So
I didn't. I don't know if you're like that when
you see somebody out and that, you know, like it's
a celebrity in public. Yeah, I was kind of hesitant
to go. I mean, it would be to get a
picture with Lori Morgan who's just hanging out on the
beach twenty yards away from me and has a big
tent that says her ex husband's name on it.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
So is she like signing autographs?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
No, no, no, no, She's just vacationing on the beach.
Like I said, like, like were my condo complexes in
Panama City Beach there's these big beach houses right across
the street, and I didn't realize it until, you know,
doing the little research. She actually owns one of those
beach houses. She's just out there like I am, just
sitting out in the sand and joining the beach and
(16:32):
hanging out. It's not like it was a paid appearance
or anything.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Well yeah, I mean I didn't know if she was
just you know, trying to make a quick buck while
on vacation too. But I would have probably done the
same and not approached her. There's something about seeing somebody
on vacation or at a restaurant. They probably get mobbed
enough they don't need to see that with me. I
was too scared to talk to Jameis Winston a couple.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Of years ago.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
That's probably my big regret, Shannon, because that guy, he'd
probably giving me the time of day.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah. Yeah, And they say don't meet your heroes. Not
that Laurie Morgan's a hero of mine, but I know
who she is. I like her music. I was like, yeah,
it would be cool to go up and get a
selfie with Lori Morgan on the beach, But I don't
know that that's, you know, something I should be doing,
so I kind of just let it go. But again, though,
like when you put the big tent up that says
Keith Whitley, I kind of feel like you're advertising hey here,
I am.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure that she had probably somebody set
up a big tent like that with Keith Whitley's name
on it, right, I mean, did she have some people
with her or was it just her?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
There were there were a few other people. Yeah. And
the way, by the way that I found out that
it was her is that somebody posted on social media, Hey,
Louri Morgan is hanging out right across from our condos
on the beach. So I was going to the beach anyway,
and I'm like, well, I wonder where she is. I
wonder if I could just like and then sure enough,
there she is right right.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Then had just gone over there and said, you know,
I host not one, but two afternoon radio shows.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
That's right, rock radio shows, and both of which play
none of your songs. That's because you're a country and
I'm rock.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
That's right. Sorry, I was a little distracted. I bought
a three pack of Pringles during the break. Somebody sent
me a link Shannon to our grilled beer, brought beer,
canned chicken and beer bray Steak flavors. Wow, I just ordered,
so we will. I'm sure try that when those come out.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I'll tell you what. We got a remote coming up Friday.
Save some for me. We'll try them at the remote
and we'll give a Pringles Miller Lite review.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
On the tells me it's going to be here on Friday,
so if I get it before the remote, we'll try
it then.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Okay, that sounds good. Eight five nine two twenty two
eighty seven. So we got some new Draft Kings copy

How are you day?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Dennis?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Hey, how you doing? Guys? And good?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Good?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Hey, you should have offered Lori Morgan a ship or something.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I didn't have them. I didn't you know, I didn't
buy those those chips because I couldn't find them in
the store.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
So I didn't have loved you though if you would
have brought over some of those.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Yeah, well, you know, I've had all three, and you
definitely have a beer when you eat those.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I would think that anything that's called a miller, like
chicken flavored chip would go good with a beer.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah. It enhances the palette when you're eating the chips.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Okay, all right, so you're a fan of them, then
you give it a two thumbs up?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Ye give it.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
It depends how many beers.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
You have before he got all right. Sounds like a
good munchie or late night. Yep, thanks for the call, Tennis,
appreciate it all right. Man. Uh speaking of eating the
hot dog contest, did you watch that Billy the hot
Dog getting contest? The great thing about the Nathan's Hot
Dog Getting contest is, as I'm sitting sitting there watching
the contest, eating a Nathan hot dog of my own.
(20:54):
I have zero guilt about going back for a second
or even a third hot dog. When I watched Joey
chest eat seventy and a half in ten minutes. Now
here's the thing. He didn't break his own record. Billy.
You know, every great athlete has a peak in their career.
So I'm just saying, is it possible that we are
seeing Joey chest Nut Maybe he's lost a step. You know,
(21:18):
he wasn't able to break his own record seventy and
a half dogs. It was good enough to win, but
he didn't break his own record. So I'm thinking that
maybe Joey Chestnut is on the decline in his career.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Well, you know, you thought he might come out and
try to make a statement after being banned from the
competition last year. But my argument is he doesn't have
Kobyashi there to push him those few extra dogs, you know.
I mean, when you're a competitor and you have somebody
that's close, then you're gonna go the extra mile. I mean,
he's beaten these guys by fifteen twenty dogs, so I
mean he can coast by the end of it. But
(21:48):
there may be no better man besides Joey Chess at
these events than the announcer, the guy with the straw hat. Yeah,
it's like talking in soliloquies and saying, you know, this
man comes from yards of angels that have gone throughout
the earth, and just how over the top he is
makes the event even better. But again, Joey chestnutt winner
(22:09):
of the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest once again.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah, I want to be that guy one day. I
want to take his job, the announcer. I mean, he's
more over the top than WWE ring announcers would be
best mate.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
He's crazy a cameo from next guy.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Doing the other three hundred and sixty four days of
the year though.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Us he goes to the green Beans contest, there's the
same thing.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
We'll take a break, be right back. Ksrpre show eight five, nine,
two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. This is Black Sabbath
right here, Billy. Yeah, I don't know if you saw this,
but over the weekend they played the final ever Black
Sabbath show, which was really like not even really a show.
They've played like four songs. It doesn't even really count
as a show, and you only play four songs, but
(22:47):
I think Ozzie did four, maybe five songs. But I'll
bring this up because it was funny at the end
of it for those of you who didn't watch it.
You know Ozzi he was out there like on a
throne that he can't walk. Yeah, right, he's got Parkinson
in there thing, so he's you know, he's battling in
this illness. So it's it's pretty amazing that he did
the show to begin with. But they have him out
there on a throne. But at the end of the show,
billy fireworks are going off. The band walks off stage
(23:12):
and the camera cuts over to Ozzy and he goes,
you can read his lips. He goes, I'm stuck on
this blanket stage. Somebody come get me. So the band
has already left him on stage. The fireworks are going off,
and there's Ozzy just sitting there on his throne and
he can't get up, and nobody's coming to get him.
They just left poor old grandpa out there on the
stage at the end of the show. And I'm like,
(23:33):
inspeck to Ozzy, somebody come get the man. Don't just
leave him out there like a like a dummy sitting
out there on the throne.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, I carry that thrown off many final goodbye. I
didn't know he had to hit the life alert button
to get off stage. But I did see the event,
you know, guns and Roses playing. You know, there was
there's a lot of big bands out there. I think
Jack Black was even there to play a song or
something like that.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I didn't see. I didn't see all that, so I
didn't see.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
So there was a lot of stars there, and it
was sad to see the final performances of Ozzy. I
got to see him. I think it was it louder
than life, one of the first years that I moved here.
But you're right, not walking around much anymore, still giving
the middle finger to fans and giving some big bug guys.
But it'll sad to see Ozzy go, but glad that
we can give him his flowers while he's still alive.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Now. I always pride myself while I'm on vacation, I
don't listen to the shows at all. I'm able to,
you know, sort of unplug from the shows itself. I'm
still on social media, though, and the one thing that
I did see come across my Twitter feed was Mario's
video of Bobby Bones calling Kentucky the worst fan base
(24:40):
in all of sports. Bobby Bones and I did see
Matt's rebuttal, which I thought was great, But then I
guess Bobby then came back on the comment section on
like a TikTok video or whatever it was. I was like, oh, yeah,
typical rage Baier. I would expect a lot more from
Matt in the past, but not now. And I'm going, dude,
you started this to begin with with your six teeth
(25:01):
joke that you thought was hilarious, and I you know,
I'm a sucker for a good back and forth feud,
whether it be musicians or media members or weather men,
whatever it is. So I'm just kind of digging in
on this Bobby Bones Matt Jones feud that's going on
between the two. I thought they were buddies, but here
we are. Now Bobby Bones has gone hill on Kentucky.
I mean, remember it was just a few years ago
(25:21):
that he hosted KSR during a summer show when Matt
was out. I mean, Matt went to the guy's wedding,
and now we've got this feud going on back and
forth between the two, and I'm kind of enjoying it.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
To be honest with you, well that just happened to
be our worst summer show that year as well. I
don't know if you remember, Shannon, Bobby did not bring
the energy. He brought more energy combating the Kentucky fans
than he did really anything that day. But don't get
it twisted. I like how Bobby used the term rage
baterer when commenting on Matt's video because I thought this
is exactly what he was doing, Shannon. He needed a
little bit of the KSR audience and bump and the
(25:55):
best way to do it is to insult them and
get him riled up, saying that they've got six teeth
and just a couple thousand fans.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Oh so they go, oh poor me?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Oh oh yeah exactly. So don't get too worked up
over this. This is a media typical media move for
attention in these summer months, Shannon, And you know what,
KSR has got a big audience, so why not dig
in and try to get them a little angry right now?
But disappointed in Bobby, you know, I don't know if
the cow things get into his head a little bit,
or he's done, He's done. Woopig Suey too many times
(26:25):
and that cult but disappointing remarks from him. But glad
that Matt had that rebuttal.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
The thing that I do remember when he when Bobby
Bones hosted KSR is that I had no direct communication
with Bobby Bones whatsoever as as the producer of the show.
So I guess, like you know, he had Bobby Bones
had to go through his own show producer to communicate
to me what he needed or what his requests were.
And I'm like, really, dude, like we've had We've had
(26:51):
much bigger guys, no offense Bobby Bones. We've had bigger
guys on this show who have hosted, and they never
needed to go through somebody else to talk to me,
like they would just directly talk to me. Some of
them even brought me on the show and I could
co host with them. But Bobby Bones, for some reason,
I guess, you know, he was up on his high
horse and he thought that, you know, he can't talk
(27:13):
to the producer of the show. He needs to talk
to somebody else to go through to get to me.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
There's more little company when you have like my people
reach out. It was you can talk to my people
and we'll get connected.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
It was bizarre. I'm like, what, Like, why can't he
just talk? Like, Hey, I got a microphone, you get
a microphone. Well right here, we're connected. Why don't you
just talk to me?
Speaker 2 (27:33):
But no, Look, he had to go through his producer first,
and look, I don't know how much talk radio he's done.
But look, it's a different animal when you get on
AM radio and you've got two hours to fill, right,
I mean, Bobby can do his couple minute segments before
he plays another country track. You know much about it,
Shannon doing all those rock radio shows, it's different when
that red light goes on and you've got to answer callers,
your your opinions are tested. So probably a good thought
(27:56):
that Bobby won't be back on these airwaves hosting anytime
soon after that.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Another thing that happened while I was gone, Billy, you
probably talked about this on the pre show, but college
basketball video games are coming back, and I talked about this.
This is you know, I was kind of a video
game nerd when I was younger. Love playing video games,
especially at the sports games, and for the longest time,
we haven't had a college basketball video game, and it's
(28:20):
coming back. Now, I guess it's not going to be
for a few more years. But do you have an Xbox?
Do you have a PlayStation? Because right now I have neither.
I sold all of that. I don't have any sort
of video gaming console except for the old school Nintendo
like from the eighties. I still have that because I
would not give that up, right Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Like to break out Pong and don yeah every now
it's an antique.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
He can't get rid of that. But I don't have
any sort of updated video game gaming console. But I'm
thinking when this comes out, I got to go out
and buy either an Xbox or a PlayStation. Do you
have either one of those? In our you team Xbox
or team PlayStation.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yeah. I bought an Xbox last year when the new
college football video game came out, which is the new
one is coming out this week. Shannon College Football will
be out. Depending on if you pre ordered or whatever
you get early access, it'll be this week when it
comes out. But yeah, I will definitely be making the
purchase and twenty twenty eight whenever that comes out.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
You know.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
The guys on the current Kentucky team made some remarks
after the headline came out saying how good they would be.
They would definitely be a team that would be banned
when guys are playing each other because they'd be too good.
And I'd like to think that. But look, this is exciting.
I My guy Mario is right next to me here,
and I mean he was more excited than anybody when
this news came out because to a younger generation, they've
(29:34):
missed out on a lot of years. I think the
last one was twenty ten with Black Griffin on the cover.
So just like you, a lot of people share that excitement,
and especially in this state when college basketball means a lot,
so looking forward to when that actually does.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
You can't get picky. But look, this may be a
controversial take. You had EA Sports college basketball, you had
two K Sports college basketball. I always thought that two
K was way better than the two K was better. Okay,
I was reading the comments and everybody's like, you're crazy.
EA Sports version of college basketball was way better. I'm like, No,
EA Sports version of like Madden, like the NFL was,
(30:10):
was far superior, I think than any other version of
the NFL game that existed. If you're talking college basketball,
two K Sports was way better than EA Sports and
I don't think it's a debate.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah, WOP College Hoops two K was a classic. Now
the thing with two K is micro transactions, and EA
does a lot of the same where you know, you
can buy the base game, but if you want to excel,
you got to buy these little things and that's how
they get you nowadays. Shannon, Yeah, I'm excited for it.
I also like how in the New College Football Game
they will be giving money to schools based on how
many times people play with the individual teams. Oh so,
(30:42):
like last year the revenue that was given to schools
was split up by the quality of school, but now
it's based on the amount of online games each team
is played with. So essentially, you could make the University
of Kentucky money by playing as Kentucky in the New
College Football Game. So that's not a lot, but you
know it's something, right. I think what I need to
(31:03):
do is get the College Football Game. We could have
like a KSR league online league. I don't know how
that would work, but I think that you know, you
you probably know more about it than not good than
I do. You could probably set it up and we
could do like a KSR pre show league. We could
definitely do it, and it would be fun the first
couple of weeks, it's just about doing it after that.
I think Drew bought a PlayStation for the new College
(31:25):
Football Game and maybe played it the week it was
released and hasn't played it since. So, I mean there
is a point of like, you know, you got to
have some discipline if you want to do a dynasty
like that. But there's always a lot of listeners that
try to set things up like that. And and you know, Shannon,
if you make the purchase and you get an Xboxer PlayStation,
we'll set something up.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Like that, as long as I don't have to wait
on somebody else to play, because I remember I had.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
There is a little bit of that.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Okay, well, no, I think you know, you get a
certain time if you're not there to play the game,
you get that's right, you have a day eliminated.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
We're going to advance the week at this time, no
matter if you've played the game or not.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
But you know, Shannon, you got a lot to learn
and if you're gonna if you're gonna keep up with
some of the guys playing lately.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
So, speaking of this college football game, I don't know
if you saw this, but uh, Kentucky's punter Aidense.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
They're not sure, but they did him.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
They have they did him really dirty. You know, they
have like ratings for each player, you know, like agility
and uh, you know, quickness and I guess you know strength.
They have one category on there that says toughness. And
out of all of the players on this college football game,
Aiden Larrose has a toughness rating of zero, not even
(32:37):
one point. I mean they my guy got done really
dirty by this game by giving him a toughness rating
of zero, not even a one.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Billy Yeah, that's not fair, Shannon. I mean, not a
single other player with the zero toughness rating either. I
would understand if they were like twenty guys, yeah, and
they were all punters that got the zero. But for
him to only get this zero, there had to be
a specific reason. There had to be an aid and
hater in the EA Sports Development team or what I mean.
(33:10):
I'd love to get his thoughts on it, because that
is so disrespectful. I cannot believe that only one guy
has a zero toughness level and it's this guy.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I mean, if I were creating Billy R. Sports. I
would give him a toughness level of zero. But I mean,
come on, we're talking about we're talking about a college
football player. I know he's a punter like Max Duffy.
We would give him at least a fifteen on the
toughness out of one hundred, not not a zero.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Right, So that had to be a mistake, right, I mean, yeah,
zero like your bubble boy, like you can't go outside, right,
like your immune system can't even work properly to zero.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
If you got a zero toughness ranking, you're going to
turn an ankle running out on the field to punt,
Like you're not even gonna make it out there for
the first kick. So I don't know that's and if
I'm him, I am writing, I am writing this video
game and demanding there be a change, Like, come on, man,
at least give me a one, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
All these players are getting paid to be in these
games now. But like you tell me my zero, my
toughness level is a zero. I don't even want to
be in the game. Shit, and take me out.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
A five nine twenty two eighty seven. Before we go
to break on a serious note, we need to, you know,
make sure we mentioned this that the flooding that has
happened in Texas where a lot of people lost their homes.
There's there's a kids camp were was affected by the flooding.
There's there's kids that are still missing from this. A
lot of people died in this terrible flooding that's happened
(34:36):
in Texas. So we just want to keep those people
in mind, and we have set up for iHeartRadio a
donation website. You can go to community Foundation dot net.
Community Foundation dot net. You can join us and donate
to the Kerr County Flood really fund Community Foundation dot net.
Its just a terrible situation down there.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yeah, it is. Some of the images are striking to
see that Guadaloupe River rise thirty feet in a matter
of an hour, and some of these stories we've heard
is terrible. So we keep thinking about everybody affected by
that terrible situation and hopefully those people can be found
as well.
Speaker 1 (35:11):

or give them a call eight five nine five two
(36:01):
three ten ninety eight. I'll tell you, Billy, one other
thing I was following very closely while I was gone.
That's this Crystal Rogers case that's been going on. And yes, yeah,
I mean, look, I don't get into a whole lot
of cases, but it's happened in Bardstown. It's one town
over from where I live, and it's I don't know, man.
(36:21):
I've been watching it and going, Okay, well, surely they've
got something on this guy, Brooks Halc the boyfriend, right,
he's been the main suspect this entire time. And I'm
watching it and getting the updates every you know, every day. Well,
I stay watching it. They didn't have it on TV,
but they do updates every day after after the trial
(36:41):
and the prosecution rest and they had nothing. And I'm going,
surely they would have something on this guy or they
wouldn't have made the arrest, right, And they don't. They
don't have a body, they don't have a murder scene,
they don't have a weapon, they don't really have a motive.
And I'm going, man, I don't have a good feeling
about this case because, you know, everybody's hoping that they
can finally solve this thing that's been going on. This
(37:03):
was ten years ago when this happened, and they still
don't have, from what they presented in court, nothing on
the guy. And I'm going, how long it's been ten years? Yeah,
and they had to move the case. They moved the
case to Bowling Green. My first thought is like, Okay,
are there really twelve people that have no idea about this.
I mean maybe so, I guess they they vetted the jurors.
Apparently the jurors don't know anything about this case. But
(37:26):
it's kind of crazy that you know, after you know,
watching the review of each day in court, that they
have nothing on the guy.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
So it's like they're trying to throw something against the
wall to see if it sticks.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Right now, I kind of feel like, I don't know,
Like I don't want to sound like the guy on
or commercial. I'm not an attorney if I look like
any but from what I've seen, I don't think they
got anything on him, and I feel like he's going
to walk.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Well, you know, you want closure for the family and
everybody involved, right but when something happened like ten years ago,
it's you know, it's only going to get harder and
harder to prove this point. Where are we at in
the in the trial? Is so jury deliberating? Are they
still that I think the okay?
Speaker 1 (38:05):
So the prosecution already wrapped up last week, the defense
wraps up today, it's their final day, and then tomorrow
it goes to the jury. So we'll find out. But
I don't know, man, I just I want there to
be closure on this, but from everything that they've presented,
it's like there's nothing like they've covered. And I definitely
agree like they sound suspicious in the interrogation video that's
(38:31):
been posted. I think they definitely know something. But when
you go, okay, that's the person that committed the crime,
they don't have anything that points directly to you.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Got to be a beyond a reasonable doubt and every
jury member has to agree. It can be really difficult.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
And I'm going, like, I know all about the case,
but if I didn't know anything about it, which is
what you're supposed to have no knowledge of the case
prior if you're a juror, And I'm thinking, okay, without
you know knowing the this suspicious I guess behavior of
the boyfriend and just seeing what was presented, Man, I
don't think I could convict the guy. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Have you ever been a part of a jury, Shannon?
Speaker 1 (39:10):
I actually got summoned to jury for Jefferson County, but
I don't live in Jefferson County anymore. So I had
to send a letter back going I've excused.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
I figured you'd stand up and say, hey, I've got
six radio shows to do every day. I can't possible
stream hardship. Yeah, but yeah, I ended up doing it
a few years ago and it's a long process.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
So eight five, nine, twenty two, eighty seven. Jackson's up next, Hey,
Jackson up, Jackson.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Hey, you guys doing good.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Good.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
I wanted touching that Aiden la Ross thing. I feel
like zero is just you can't justify the I mean,
he plays football in the SCC. I can understand if
it's like a Loubil punter in the ACC, but I
feel like zero's too much.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
I agree, and you throw in. Billy just mentioned to
me during the break that his dad was a rugby player.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah, I looked up his bio. His father played fourteen
seasons of division and rugby in South Africa and three
season professionally in France.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
No, that's a tough guy. Rugby is tough. I would
argue it's tougher than football. I mean those guys are
going out there with little to no protection and just
knocking the hell out of each other.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Well, how disappointing his dad when the toughness rating of
his son comes in as zero.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Yeah, imagine you're a rugby player, you played fourteen years
of rugby, just like you know, running into other grown
men and having you know them knock you down. And
then you have your son as a punter and he
gets a zero rating. That has to be a mistake,
though it has to be Skips Wally Walks too. I'm sure,
all right, jennything else, Jackson.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
My second thing was, I think about twenty twenty eight.
You have senior Trenton Noah in that video game. He's
gonna be ninety nine overall. Kentucky's gonna be the best team.
That's all he has.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
I love it, Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Jalen Lowell called Trento the best shooter he's ever seen Shannon,
So if that's case, by twenty twenty eight, he would
have a ninety nine overall shooting rating. I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
So imagine though, that you're one of the players that's
going to be out of college basketball before twenty twenty
eight and you don't get to be a part of it.
I don't know why they have to. Why does it
take three years? I feel like college football turned it
around quickly. They announced it, then it was out like
later that year.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
I don't know, Well, it was actually a year or
two before the college football game came out, but they
got to go to each school and make sure you
get the traditions right. I want to make sure they
get it right instead of a rush product. But I
am excited just like you did.
