Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everyone. It is the KSR pre Show. It's Wednesday,
July ninth. I am Shannon the Dude in the Loisville
studio being joined by Billy Relichi's in Lexington and you
can give us a call on the Clarks Popping Shot
phone line eight five nine two eight oh twenty two
eighty seven be our Whiskey Thief call of the day.
If you can't call in, you can always text us
at five two two six five six six five six
(00:22):
at Shannon the Dude on Twitter at Billy our Sports
as well and uh Billy. Midweek Friday, we're going to
be doing the Donut Challenge at Ryan Lemon's house. I'm
looking forward to that coming up in a couple of days.
But uh, I was just sitting here before we went
on the air watching this Cubs first pitch from Alvin Kamara.
Did you see that? We were talking about it on KSR. Man,
(00:43):
you only get one crack at it unless you're Alvin Kamara.
And I guess you know, you throw a bad pitch,
you asked for it to come back, and they just
they just let you throw it again. I've never seen
a second pitch and the second pitch doesn't matter if
you don't do it right the first time. It doesn't
It doesn't matter if you throw the second pitch good, correct.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I mean on this gale of fair or foul. This
is as foul as you can get. I mean professional
athletes that are make millions of dollars in their sports
come to do the first pitch and look like a fool.
John wall is one of them. You know, if we
go outside the sports world, fifty cent had a really
bad one back in the day. You have to take
that embarrassment. That's part of the risk of doing a
(01:21):
first pitch. So the give me the ball back, let
me throw another pitch completely foul, Shannon hate to see
it from Alvin Kamaria.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
If you spike it into the ground, you just have
to own it. If you throw it to the backstop,
you have to own it. It's just the way it
is now. In related news, I've got this is actually
some breaking related news, oh breaking, I can share with you.
I will be throwing out a first pitch coming up
on Tuesday, July twenty ninth at the Lexington Legends game.
(01:48):
I've been asked to come out and throw out the
first pitch. I'll try not to do the Alvin Kamara'll
throw it straight into the ground and actually get it
over the plate. But Bill A, I'm gonna do it
one time if it if it goes, you know, three
feet in front of me, then that's that's the first pitch.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
You don't get to go back and do it again.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Every time we have a remote in Lexington, all we
hear is Shannon the Dude had to get up early
and drive to Lexington. How come there can't be any
remotes in Louisville. I can't, My guy, Shannon the Dude
is also thrown out the first pitch at a Louisville
Bats game. So how the hell are you encroaching in
my territory here in Lexington and throwing a first pitch
for the legends.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I mean, look, the legends want Shannon the Dude. What
are you looking because.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Listen, look there's already a Shannon the Dude day here
in Lexington because you walked fifteen miles. Now you get
to throw out the first pitch too.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I'm a little upset, uh, liss, I love you, Billy,
but there is a hierarchy, all right. I've been doing
this for twenty one years you need to slow down,
young buck.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
All right, you'll get yours in time.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
You got to put in your due, you know your time,
and and I've done that, so you know what, regardless
they've asked me to do it, I'm going to do
it on July twenty ninth, and look forward to seeing
everybody out there.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Okay, I'll just you know, host a booty shaking contest.
Maybe that will get me in the good graces of
the people in minor league baseball. But looking forward to
would you say the day was for that July twenty ninth.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
July twenty ninth, Okay, So if you want to come
out and cheer me on on the first pitch, then
then come on out.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Well, we'll wait until July twenty ninth. Happy Wednesday, July
ninth to you, Shannon, July ninth will be the shortest
day in recorded history today. Did you know that?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
How is that?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Well? This summer, the Earth is spinning abnormally faster as
a result of the Moon's position, and this speed up
will knock anywhere from one point three to one point
six milliseconds off the typical twenty four hour day today
July twenty second, in August fifth will be the three
shortest recorded days in human history.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Wow, I guess I got to like get things done quickly,
got things done.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, today, so this show, you're gonna have a little
less one point six milliseconds.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
So this show should be going about really fast today
then right.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
It will, And eventually in twenty twenty nine we're gonna
have to adjust the clocks a second forward because of
these these move backs.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I did not know that usually.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I figured that the shortest day of the year I've
always been told was on December twenty first, which is
my birthday. So I guess today is actually gonna be quick.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And I believe that's the least amount of sunlight.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Oh, okay, that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Most least amount of daylight guy or yeah, I think
you know who knows?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Facts are optional.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
As we know, I stayed up late to watch my Braves.
I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I'm a glutton for punishment. I guess I should have
just gone to bed. I mean, when the game started off,
Billy with the first pitch from the Braves was an
inside the park home run, and the second pitch hit
the next batter on the hand, I'm like you know what,
it's just it's not going to be worth staying up
for tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
But she just turned it off there.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Well, I think I think I did. After the first
inning it was five to nothing to the A's. You know,
the A's don't even have a city. They're just the A's.
They don't nobody wants them. They're not even in Oakland,
they're not even in Las Vegas. They're like in purgatory,
you know, MLB purgatory, somewhere in the middle. And they
lost ten to one last night. At the think Kamara
(05:00):
should have been pitching for him. I thought that he
actually was when I saw those first couple of first
couple of pitches, But.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Well, you know, a game gets away from me and
you throw the position player in. So maybe in another universe,
Alvin Kamara comes in. After that first ending, I saw
it was the first leadoff inside the park home run
in eighty two years, and that pairs it with the
Giants walk off inside the park home run last night.
I just saw it onto the Sports Center top ten.
That's the first time that's happened since twenty sixteen. So
(05:28):
a little bizarre at Little League Play. The inside the
park home run making a name for itself.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yes, I can't never remember there being two in one day,
and like you said, the first one and what eighty
two years for a lead off first pitch? Man, I mean,
could you have not at least thrown a ball outside
before you gave up the inside of the park home run? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Just get the game going. You just take the first pitch,
I mean, settle in.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I looked up to the scoreboard, it was it was
three to nothing A's and the guy for the Braves
that only thrown seven pitches.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Wow, that's rough. Not a good day either, So you know,
not the best for our teams. Yesterday you just mentioned
Sports Center ESPN. Sports Center is going to be just
a couple of blocks down from where I'm at.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Later on tonight, they're doing.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
The Fifty States and Fifty Days tour and Sports Center
is going to be at Slugger Field doing their live broadcast.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
So if you watch to night at six o'clock, it's
going to be right here in Louisville.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
That's kind of cool that they're doing this tour and
they picked Slugger Field for the place in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That is cool. I am curious on what they're going
to talk about Michael Eves, I believe is going to
be anchoring the coverage. He is a former cat spent
time in the Lexington market at WKYT before he went national.
So they're in Louisville, but they're bringing a Lexington anchor it, Shannon.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
So it's on Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
It's all Kentucky though, it's all Kentucky stuff that they're
going to talk about, Hobby. Yeah, that's the point of it.
It's fifty days, fifty states.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
So I guess it'll be Kentucky and Louisville topics that
they'll be talking about. And I guess Michael Eaves is
going to have to, you know, grin and smile at
the camera when he's talking about that. But you said
that they're at Louisville Slugerfield.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, yeah, it's just a couple of blocks down.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Maybe I should go, like be in the background and
crash the crash the party there at Sluggerfield.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Well, you've already told us there's levels to this stuff, Shannon,
And why not just walk onto sucker Field and say hey,
I'm here, that's.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Right, Yeah, former first pitch ee out here.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, have you seen my movies. I'm a background extra exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I could be a background extra and Sports Center tonight.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I think you've already been in the background of the
Today Show, right, that's true, that's true. A couple of
time make it too for two.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Not a whole lot of sports related stuff going on
for Kentucky. But you know, yesterday, I don't know if
you saw this, they had a scrimmage for Kentucky basketball
and they were playing for the new Kobe's, the new
Kobe Venice beach shoes, which I'm not a sneakerhead like
Matt Jones is. He probably already has a pair of
these in his house. He's got like two hundred pair.
(07:50):
But the winner of the blue white scrimmage got the
new Kobe's And did you see how the game ended?
Did you see the highlights on this my guy, my
guy camarena you made. I'm telling you, you keep mocking
me if we're being on the Moreno train and saying
that this guy is going to be an important part
of this team coming up. But you know he's impressing
(08:10):
in practice. Mark Pope said, you know, his his play
is jaw dropping. That was the adjective that he used.
Not not beautiful but jaw dropping. And then he comes
out here yesterday in the scrimmage and hits a full
court shot to end the game on a walk off,
and they got the new Kobe's. That was pretty cool though,
that they got. They were doing this for shoes, you know,
(08:33):
for the winning team, and a full court shot for Moreno,
are you going to backtrack what you said when you
were making fun of me for saying that Marino is
not going to be an important part of the team
this year.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Well, look, I mean raising the stakes in a scrimmage
playing for limited edition Kobe shoes. I mean, no better
way to get these guys, you know, pumped up and
playing their hardest. So I absolutely loved the you know
something on the line in the scrimmage and for Malki
to make that full court shot was awesome. It was
one of the great videos we've seen come out of
these summer workouts. I'm not backtracking yet. I do like
(09:04):
to hear a guy like Cam Williams say single out
Malachi Moreno as one guy that's been really good defensively.
They've talked a lot about how good they've been defensively.
Jad and Quainton's even going as far as to say
that Kentucky could be one of the best defensive teams
in the country this year, which is quite the change
from the first year. Yeah, Pope, so that is refreshing.
(09:24):
But you know what, we'll see how Jade and Quaintance
comes back from injury. You know, we'll see how much
Brandon Garrison has improved. You know, when you said that
Malachim Moreno was going to be the difference maker on
the team this year, that doesn't necessarily mean he's not
going to play good in spots. I just think that
there's so much talent at that position it's going to
be hard for the freshman to find his footing. But
from reports early on, this guy's making a difference right now.
(09:47):
And you love to hear that.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Well, I could have sad Jayalen Lowe could have given
you Otega away. I feel like that's the obvious answer.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
But if you're saying, give me somebody off the radar
who could maybe make an impact this year, that's why
I gave you that answer.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
But we'll have to wait and see you though, But
I'll have a.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Great off the radar answer, Shannon as he is proving
his worth so far in the summer. I will say
he tried to drive across a T box at the
Ronald McDonald Classic. I had to tell Maliki, no, no, no, say.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
On the car path.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Well, he's not a golf but man is I didn't
say he was a great golfer. I didn't say, you know,
he's a basketball player.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
That's what he says.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
In a repin Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Strong.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Now we got the Loft Familia team rep in Kentucky.
First game is coming up next Friday. And you may
have talked about this last week while I was out,
but I want to get your take on it because
I didn't get to hear it, and I'll give you
mine now. They're going to be hosting the region in Lexington,
and if they move on they win that bracket, they'll
be playing in Louisville. But I wanted to ask you
about the latest roster edition on this Law Familia team.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
They added some guy named Jesser. That's I guess.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
He doesn't have a last name, he's just Jesser and
apparently he's a YouTuber. And I'm seeing this news going,
what are we doing? I mean, obviously this is some
sort of publicity stunt, and I see some people going, well,
you know, he's he's got a lot of followers, and
maybe he could, you know, bring some awareness to Kentucky basketball.
And look, Billy, I've lived in Kentucky my entire life.
(11:07):
Maybe I'm naive to this whole thing, but I'm pretty
sure that there's not people out there who are like,
Kentucky has a basketball team.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Really, I didn't know that until Jesser told me about it.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
What do you make about Lo Familia bringing on a
YouTuber to be on the official roster?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Well, the benefit is not awareness of the Kentucky basketball program.
It's the awareness of the TBT. It's a business decision
by the TBT, and if I'm them, I think this
is a great decision because Jesser is a guy that
has thirty three million followers or subscribers on YouTube and
Shannon there were several times at the end of La
(11:43):
Familia games last year the game is in hand, it's
a twenty point game.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
So put Jesser in right, So put jess as this.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Is a guy that is not going to be talented
enough to play fifteen to twenty minutes with former Division
ie players, former professional athletes in the NBA and overseas.
This is a guy that maybe makes you sit up
in your seat a little bit when it's a fifteen
to twenty point game and these guys who are former
professional athletes are not conditioned the same Shannon. They're huffing
(12:12):
and puffing, and you know what, maybe the quality of
the basketball takes a hit a little bit. I was
like you, Jesser, you know this is la familiar. These
are former Kentucky players. We're kind of branching into these
influencers and a little bit of different. I had never
heard of the guy until Mario comes up and joined
me on the pre show the next day and sang
(12:35):
his praises, talked about this is a guy that's a
mover and shaker when it comes to basketball content online.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I just want to see the guy. I just want
to see the guy get into the game just to
get dunked on.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Well, that'll happen, don't you worry. I'm you know, he's
not going to be able to stop some of the
natural athleticism that you'll see in the event. But I
guess this is gonna be a way to bring in
a different audience, right. I mean maybe the YouTube family
is going to come and watch some of these games
for the TVT, but it seems like to you it's
you know, you are you not happy with the because
(13:09):
we're doing that and just bring on anybody, right, Just
put any you know, put Ryan on there.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Fans watch every second of every game if there was
a chance Ryan Mike.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Ryan doesn't have thirty three million followers or whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
But you know, if we're going to start putting celebrities
on it, then you're not really I thought you had
to be like a former player, you know, a former.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, that has been laxed. Like I see a lot
of teams in the TVT that don't exactly have their
alumni playing. So you know, it's we're just having fun
in the summer, right, So we'll see if Jesser makes
any impact.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Well, it's interesting that you say that Jesser is bringing
awareness to the TVT. I see it as the TVT
is bringing awareness to Jesser because I never who knew
who Jesster.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Was, right, I Mean, that's the business move here is,
you know, Jesser takes some of their audience and the
TVT takes some of his is, but it's just a
different life. I don't know if you watch, if you
looked up any of his videos channel, but these guys
can make millions upon millions of dollars by posting these videos.
It's it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Maybe I need to get into the YouTube game. Then
eight five nine two twenty two eighty seven, we'll take
your calls. Coming up next Shana the Dude, Billy R Sports,
and Jesser.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
We'll be right back. What are you laughing about?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Welcome back? Is the KSR pre show? Some I'm just
telling this show needs a producer, man, it does. It's
tough trying to produce the show and on a halftime,
don't even know what I'm doing over here, trying to
put give me credit man, a lot of multitask and
going on like.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
A machine over here.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
You just brought to my attention during the commercial break
this this video of these guys fighting on a golf
course that wasn't moreno, driving his his golf cart over
the green tea box with it. No no.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
And it's also something we can't play on the air.
Some explicits, but uh yeah, always good for a good
on the course golf fight. I posted it on my
Twitter this morning. But the guy picked a fight with somebody,
and the guy he picked a fight with ended up
being a former NHL enforcer, Shannon. So that's not the
guy you want to pick a fight with when you're
on the golf course. Only one instance in my life
(15:13):
I thought I was going to fight somebody on a
golf course. Oh really, okay, I thought golf was a
gentleman's game. Why are you guys fighting? That's not very gentlemanly. Well,
the tempers can really get heated in golf when like
somebody's behind you hitting the ball into you, like maybe
they think that you're playing low.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Somebody picks up their putt.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Somebody picks up their putt or the somebody else's ball.
You know, people have been drinking a little bit. You know,
maybe we'll meet you in the parking lot later. It's uh,
I don't know. It's it's one of those false confidence
kind of tough man things when you're on the golf.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I've got to hear about your near fight that you
had on a golf course.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Oh well, somebody was just hitting into us. Being a
bunch of fraternity brothers all day, like literally for the
entire nine holes that we were playing, and a couple
of the other brothers that were with me were much
more heated than I am. We ended up parking right
next to the person that was ended up hitting next
to us, so they had to come right to us,
and there was a big argument in the parking lot.
You know, young Billy r sports here one hundred and
(16:09):
twenty pounds, soak and wet in college. Who's trying to
We're trying to not be involved? Yeah, no, no, no,
I was. I was not being the uh in your
face pushing people's chest. But you know what, tempers can
flare on the golf course and if you just be
careful of well, I don't want to worry about me.
I'm not you're gonna find me on a golf course.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
But that's why though, you had to watch who you
pick a fight with, because you don't know who that
person is.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
You don't know what they're capable of. You can't fight crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Sometimes, like the skinniest, scrappiest person is the one that
you don't want to mess with because they got nothing
to lose, right right. It's not usually, you know, sometimes
it's the big guy with the big muscles. But sometimes
it's the little guy that you think, oh, I could
take that guy. Then you realize you got to you,
you know, much more than what you bargain for when
the guy's kicking your butt.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So right, it's it's the KSR listener that took a
chop from cash flow at RKSR golf Scramble that you
probably don't want to, you know, maybe get in a
fight with.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
That's right. This is crazy, But there is a big
fight going on. You may have heard about it, Billy,
it's insane.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Tristan is on right now. What's up? Trustan hell a.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Good mar gentlemen, good morning. So this is these are
two questions from mister or the dude. So the first
question is is generally speaking, why are there no metal
stations on the radio. There's a lot of hard rock.
You know, the hardest rock they play is like Alison Chains, right.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Unfortunately, a lot of those stations have sort of morphed
into classic rock, so they take like a lot of
the nineties like Metallica and You're Alice and Chains and
bands like that, and they've sort of put them all
together with the classic rock. So you go hear like
ac DC, and then you'll hear some of the nineties stuff,
and there's I guess, not a whole lot of I
(18:54):
don't want to say there's not a lot of demand
for metal, because there is. If you look at Louder
than Life Fest, which books one hundred and sixty metal bands,
there's two hundred thousand people out there, so there's definitely
a demand for it. I think that it's just hard
to market that in radio because you know, when you
have a radio station, you got to sell advertising, and
I don't know that advertise. You know, it's easy to
(19:15):
sell a metal radio station to advertisers. So I think
that that's probably why you don't see that all though
broader audience with classic rock exactly exactly you know on
the Fox and Trustan. I don't know if you're from Loisville,
but the Fox was a active rock station that I
was on for years. We would do like a thing
on Saturday night where we would play metal for two hours,
(19:36):
but it wasn't like an entirely all exclusively metal station.
So I think that's probably why it all comes down
to the advertising aspect of it.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Sure, thanks for your insight on that mother question that
I had for you. Is on the rock stations, is
there like a like a quota you have to play
like the Silk Collins song once every hour and you
got to play you know, like Hotel California, y and
say things like that, thanks, thanks for you're in title.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Hang up with Yeah, thanks for the call, tist and
well contra formula.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Right, Contrary to popular belief, I don't actually get free
reign to play what I want on those stations. As
a matter of fact, it all comes down to the
programming director who is not me, who picks those songs.
And you know, every now and then, Billy, I'll throw
one a song or two that maybe you know, if
i'm if I've heard Devil went down to Georgia every
(20:26):
single day for the last one hundred days, I may
take it out and put something else in there.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
But yeah, once in a while, Well look man, here's
the way I'll see it.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
It's my show. Why should I not be able to
play what I want to play? It's my show. Why
am I playing what somebody else wants me to play?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, I guess in theory that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Rachel Elliott came on and talked about this very thing
when it comes to country music. Ninety eight won the
ball AMZ in Louisville. You know, there is a process
to finding out which songs are played, whether it be
listener retention. They want to get you to the next
commercial break. They want to get you to listen as
long as possible. But yeah, there also need to be
you need to have the liberty used to be able
to take out Charlie Daniels every once in a while,
(21:08):
to put in Alice Bluegan. Well, actually, you probably can't
play your own music, can you. No, I don't, I
play like a clip of it, but I could play
it on here. I guess I could play a clip
of it if I wanted to. But yeah, I mean
not to sound arrogant or like I know more than
you know the higher ups here at the stage. But
you know, I've been I've been in this market for
twenty one years on the radio. I kind of feel
(21:29):
like I know what this like, what Global likes, what
Lexington likes as well. You know like that because different
cities don't necessarily like the same playlist, and they that's
the one thing. They try to make everything so cookie
cutter to where every classic rock station sounds the same.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
What works in one state is not going to work here.
It's it's it's different, right. You get more blue collar people,
I feel like in Kentucky than if you, you know,
had a rock station out in la or up in
New York City.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
It's different.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
You can't do a cook key cutter, one size fits
all when it comes to programming music, and I feel
like that's kind.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Of what rock stations have become. So what song have
you heard the most? What have you played the most?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
That sticks out every time I hear Kansas? I want
to jump out a window. I feel like we play
that one every Kansas.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Oh oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
It's like really again like led Zeppelin probably, and I
see that one on there, I'm like, no, don't want to,
don't want to play that one again.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
But yeah, for the most part, it's all play some skinner. Yeah,
play free Bird, We'll do that, come it up next. Hmmm. Yeah,
that's got to be the most requested song of all time.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I mean scalley. So it's a it's a it's a ballot,
it's a classic, right, Yeah, but you hear something, you
hear you have anything too much? Right, the same food,
same dessert, you hear the same song. Anything's gonna get old?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Yeah, sorry if I went on a rant that last segment,
Tristan was a couple of great questions, but you know,
kind of a sore spot where somebody who's been doing
this for twenty years, Well, people.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Are reminiscing on the text line five O two two
six five six six five six talking about the old
Double Q days, the old Fox song of the day.
I mean, there's a lot of things you probably can't do.
It's on the old rock radio.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
But Bennetti's Tony Vannetti's Thong of the Day at Foxhrocks
dot com had more hits than anything else that we
could put up free tickets to Leonard Skinnert, but Vannetti's
Throng of the Day would have more hits on it
on that on that website than anything else that we did.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
I walked into the Double Q studio back when I
first started. There's underwear on the wall, there's there's signatures
on the wall. Everybody that had come into the studio
signed the wall, and it was it was really cool, right.
The studio was like a shrine to the years of
this rock station and and now our studios now they
all looked the same.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
That's right. They all have a great carpet on them.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
We were talking during one of the breaks that the
new cover for the NBA game, the NBA Video game
has shake gilges Alexander on there.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
But you said they screwed up. They got Al Horton
on there twice.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Well I'm not I'm not sure if this is confirmed
or not. But if you look at the cover, which
by the way, congratulations. This is the season of Shay
right been scoring title MVP, you know, NBA champion. He
is cementing himself as you know, one of the best
Kentucky players of all time in the NBA. But as
a kid, it was a big deal. Who was on
the cover of these games, whether it be Madden or
(24:16):
two K it was is definitely a nod of respect
to whoever gets it in congratulations to Shay. But I
feel like they've gotten lazy on the cover art. I mean,
it used to be something you could hang in your bedroom.
The cover art was so good back in the day.
Now Shay is on it, but it looks like they've
transposed Al Horford twice onto the image. Are you looking
at it right now? Yeah, it looks like we got
(24:37):
his bald head twice on the cover, which would obviously
not be a play in a single game it was.
It's I guess, more of an edited image. Does that
look like the same player to you, Shannon or am
I crazy?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
We we're congratulating, you know, Shae Gilges Alexander. I think
we should be congratulating Al horfor twice. I mean, the
guy is the first person ever to make the the
NBA two K cover not once, but twice in the
same year. I think that's even more impressive. I think
it also shows you how you know a little of importance.
Background stuff is like background acting. For instance, they could
(25:13):
put two Shade and the dudes in that wrestling movie
and nobody would know.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah. Yeah, But we also listen to songs and people
have no idea what the actual lyrics are.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Right.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
We've done that show where we actually read out the
lyrics of some of your favorite songs. They end up
being really depressing or talking about something you had no
idea about. So maybe there's a sense of, you know,
we like things, but maybe sometimes we don't look at
the details.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I mean you would think that though, I mean there's
four players in the background, You would think that somebody
in the editing department would go, you know what, it
looks like we got two al Horford's on there.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Maybe we should put somebody else in the background.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah, well, I think I think you'll see. Laziness is
something that you not only find in two K covers,
but a lot of graphic design. It looks like to
me it's Ai, you know, like the background was done
by It does look like Al twice though, doesn't it like?
I'm not crazy, No, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I think I think it actually is. I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Eight five nine to twenty two eighty seven. Caleb is
up next, Hey Caleb, what's up?
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Hey Shannon Billy, Good morning guys. Good morning Horford easily
my favorite Celtic on the team right now. I just
love the guy. I'm so glad we got him years ago.
But hey, I just wanted to we were talking about music.
Just give Alice Oh just playing on the radio as
we speak.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
On the radio, you cut out.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Oh sorry, I've got Vince by Alice Bluegown playing on
the radio as we speak. It's such a great song, Shann,
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Man.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Want to give you guys a shout out my two
year rolls. We drive home from daycare, I've got Helio's
playing and he's already head banging in his car seat.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Awesome beer. So that's awesome raising them right, Buddy.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
I appreciate you guys, man.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Appreciate it. Thank you so much. Thank you, Caleb.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, we're gearing up for our big hometown show so
Mount Washington. We're gonna be playing at the West Banco
Amphitheater on July twenty fifth. So looking forward to seeing
everybody out there in my hometown. And that's gonna be
a lot of fun. Hopefully everybody can make it out there.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I'm not saying this just because you're my co host.
I really like Bent. I think that's a great song, Shannon,
and you know Helios is good too. But Bent has
definitely grown on me.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Appreciate it. Eight five, nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. Billy.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
While I was gone, I continued to get more and
more of these these not only foreign money. Now it's
becoming letters to go along with it, and that's the
best part.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Right You get a little story of how the person
found you and decided to send you money.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Right.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Well, there was one that stuck out in particular, and
I wanted to read this one to you.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Did he say check on Billy or ask him if
he's okay, or something like that. We've gotten that a
couple of times.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I don't think you know. Yeah, I don't think you're
mentioning this one.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
But he asked for some advice, and I thought, you know,
you and I could discuss it and maybe maybe give
our guys some advice here. Or is mister the dude
my name is one. I'm a cowboy from Mexico. First
of all, that's quite an opening line. A cowboy from Mexico.
I don't know any cowboys in Mexico, but I guess
I do.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I'm sure he's happy he doesn't have to take his
shoes off in Tsa anymore.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Yeah, he says it has become too hot and I
want cooler weather. So I was visiting Montana and might
be moving there. As I travel, I come up on
KSR and listen to you and I looked up shows
and articles from the past and see that.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
You collect form money.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
One.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I don't actually collect FORG money. People just send it
to me. Though I never asked to collect FOREGN money.
It just it was forced upon me. Basically, please add
these pesos to your collection. But he's asking, though, should
he move up north? He wants to know should he
move up north or should he stay in Mexico. That's
the advice that he's.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Wanting from you or me.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Wow, I don't know how hot it is right now
in Mexico one, but it is so hot in Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I feel like I'm in Mexico.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
So I would say, if you're wanting to move north
for cooler weather, don't move to Kentucky, at least not
in the summer, because it is straight up hot.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah, Montana is where you're looking to move. Just expect
the shock of the winter in Montana. If you're going
to move from Mexico to Montana, that is going to
be quite the change. So just be prepared to be
shaken in your cowboy boots. Maybe a little bit, but
you know, I'm sure it's I'm sure it's pretty hot
down there in Mexico. And I can imagine you would
want to get away from that heat eventually. But have
(29:20):
you been to Montana, Shannan or is that the Dakotas
that you've been to.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
With the Ah.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
I think we went through do we go through?
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I think we may have went through Montana on the
way to Seattle, although I hard to keep track.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I don't really know s curves that you take throughout
the cop fel like we.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Might have went through part of it, but I could
be wrong.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
But if you said, okay, live in Mexico or living
in Montana one, I'm gonna tell you to stay in Mexico.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I don't think what if.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
You would choose Mexico over the United States of America.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
It depends.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I mean, look, America is great. Are here, They're trying
to make it great again. But if you're telling me
Montana is the only place in the United States that
you were going to go, I don't think.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
I don't know. Again, I haven't really been to Montana
enough to know.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
But if you said you can move to any place
in America, Montana would probably be on my.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
It'd be low, but it'd be ahead of Mexico.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
I mean again, I'm on I've never been to Mexico,
but I hear it's beautiful, and you know, if you
live by the ocean, I don't know. Would you trade
ocean front property for Montana.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
I don't think I would.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I mean, yeah, Mexico would be fun for a week,
maybe two, but then you know, try to go to
Mexico City and hopefully you can survive that encounter. I
don't know. I mean, I like my freedom of speech
in this country, so you know, I'm gonna stay in
the States. But you know, maybe maybe a honeymoon or
something to a place like Mexico wouldn't be that bad.
But you're all about the beach, that's all you are,
(30:50):
so you can't see yourself in Montana. No stuck in
those mountains and being zero degrees in October.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
So on. I would say stay in Mexico if you're
If Montana is the only choice, definitely don't go to Kansas.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
That's the place you want to avoid. Like the plague.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
They actually came out a couple of days ago. I
forget which website it was, but it listed the most
boring cities in all of America. Wichita, Kansas was number two.
I couldn't believe what they had. They had Jacksonville, Florida
Number one saw that. Tell me, you're telling me I
have two options here. I can live in Wichita off
Kansas or Jacksonville, Florida. And you're telling me Jacksonville, Florida
(31:28):
is more boring than Wichita.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Get out of here. That's that's blasphemy.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Now, just based on geography, you'd think there'd be more
things to do in Jacksonville, right, I mean it must
be a retirement home community if that's if it's the
most boring city in the country.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
You think retirement places don't have fun though. I mean,
KSR just went there a couple of weeks ago. Those
people sounded well, Now, I.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Think they would. I did think they would. I don't
think they would like you saying that that they are
a retirement community. I think Ryan said that several times,
which they weren't very happy about.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
But you're right.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
You know sometimes upside down pineapples are found there much
more than they are in places like Wichita.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
You know how people will believe anything On Facebook, Billy,
I came across this. I came across this post that
has nearly nineteen thousand comments on it, and I was
just reading.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
I didn't read, obviously all of them, but I was
just reading through some of them.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I couldn't believe the amount of people that actually believed
this was a real story and a real thing. You're
from Florida. But there's this post that's, you know, gone
viral on Facebook. Again it's fake, but people don't apparently
understand that They've got this post of it's I think
it's AI.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
It looks AI.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Generated pictures and it's called the Sunburn Competition, and it's
these people. It says it takes place in Florida, and
it's got these pictures of people just with just you know,
completely burnt red skin and people.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
I can't believe that they cannot.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Differentiate the difference between an actual and fake post. It's
amazing how many people fall for fake post on Facebook.
I just every time I see that, I'm like, really,
people are like, why would you do that?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Like people aren't.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Actually doing it, it's fake. People believe anything they see
on Facebook. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Is there an image to go along with it? Is
it one of those AI images or is this just
more of like a post like a headline that you're
talking about.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
I shared it on on Facebook at Shannon of the
Dude Radio. But here it is if you can see.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
It right there. Okay, so yeah, that's obviously fake.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
You get a sign of people that will fall over
the Burt guys there.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
And I've thought of you, because you're gullible, Billy, You'll
believe anything. And I thought, you know what, Billy, probably
somewhere in those nineteen thousand comments is in there going
I would never do such a thing.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Well, you know, you got to take the time to read,
to use your critical thinking skills. Here's the thing. When
you're doom scrolling, Shannon, you're just you know, you're going up,
down and up and down, and you see a headline
and you see a couple pictures of some bald guys
getting burt, and you see the headline sun Burnt competition.
If you don't read anymore, and maybe it allows your
(34:05):
mind to think, Hey, those guys must be really stupid
to be doing that. It's the people that like are
asked or think that they should comment on these things,
or they're they've been duped so far even after reading it.
You know, for the most part, I think we're at
a time where we can still tell the difference between
AI and in a real thing.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Oh no, no, we're all doing age groups.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
You know, it's a it's an older age on Facebook,
and so it's it's much easier to fool and and
and people get angry on that on that social media
site on x included.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
When the headline is the ninety ninth Annual Sunburn Competition
is happening now in Pahokee, Florida, and the source is
spilling celeb tea.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
We're all doomed. People are believing that they'll believe anything.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Yeah, and I don't think you're finding a governing body
to do a sun burnt competition. I mean that's some
some serious health risks involved there. Well that's pretty but yeah,
it's pretty much the entire comment section.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Why would you do that?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Why are they doing this?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Some sunscreen? On eighty seven, we're gonna take a break,
take more of your phone calls. Coming up next it
is the KSR pre show one hundred point one w
a cake. Oh yeah, no, no, we're on ksrpre show.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Wrong show.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
In my mind as automatically goes into double Q when
I hear that song. I was just looking during the
break billy. What a rib You know, I've talked about
how much I don't like the state of Kansas, and
I'm not a fan of the band Kansas. I'm looking
on our calendar next week on Double Q. They've got
me giving away Kansas tickets. They're plotting against me here.
They're they're forcing me to give away Kansas tickets. That
(35:41):
is incredible. What a rib, uh billy. Yesterday the verdict
came out for the Crystal Rogers case. We talked a
little bit about this a couple of days ago, and
I was telling you, like, looking at the evidence, I
didn't think they had enough on the guy. Well, they
the jury convicted them of murder and gave them a
life sentence. So I mean, talk about something that I
(36:02):
thought wouldn't happen. The jury went all in and gave
them the maximum punishment.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Right, I think they recommended the maximum punishment. I think
there'll still be a sentencing there. But they only deliberated
for only four hours, so I think that kind of
shows you that they had their mindset. I thought was
interesting what the detective said afterwards, John Snow not the
game at Thron's character. He said something to the effective
I feel like we got a little more to go.
And then when asked about what he meant by that,
(36:28):
he said, you'll see so.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Oh yeah, I mean that was just one murder. There
was so many other murder.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Jason Ellis the police officer that got murdered in the
middle of a street while he was trying to remove
a brush pile in Bardstown. Then you had the father
of Crystal Roder that got shot while he was hunting,
and then I think there was a couple of others
as well. But yeah, I think they're just scratching the
surface with all this stuff in Bardstown. And it's been
ten years, you know, so it's finally coming, you know, unraveled.
(36:58):
I don't know what's gonna come next. But kind of
shocking that they recommended life sentence. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
I mean, when there's no body or no murder weapon,
or no even crime scene, it's tough to find a case.
But we've been following this closely for, like you said,
over a decade, so big news yesterday with the verdicts coming.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Up, I wanted to ask you about this story that
I saw a Kansas City radio host speaking of Kansas
Kansas City radio host ripping Patrick Mahomes because he was,
according to this radio host, out of shape. There was
a picture that Patrick Mahomes, I guess, posted over the
fourth of July weekend, and it was a picture of
him with his family and he had a shirt off.
They were around a pool and this Kansas City radio
(37:39):
host just starts ripping the guy. Here was his quote.
He said, dude, your fat, stop the fast food, do
us sit up.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Do anything?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
I'm going man, that is brutal coming from a radio host,
a talking head. You know, we've said before that guys,
maybe you're out of shape, but we wouldn't go as
far as to call a guy straight up fat and say,
you know, do a setup, dude. This guy, this radio host,
is getting ripped for his comments as he probably should.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Yeah, no, he should. I mean, these are professional athletes.
They're achieving things that this radio host can only dream of.
And I only became aware of the story after people
started posting pictures of him sitting criss cross applesauce in
a white castle shit and going over some sliders. So
it was it was like, you know, how can you
be the one to you know, lecture somebody or call
(38:29):
somebody fat? But he's not especially one of the greatest
quarterbacks of all time.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
But well, yeah, first of all, yeah, okay, yeah, maybe
Patrick Mahomes has a bit of a dad bod, but
the guy still is, if.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Not the best, earn the best, that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
And you know he's not a quarterback that's going to
go out there and scramble anyway. He doesn't really have
to be all that active. He's a guy that sits
back in the pocket and throws the ball and wins titles.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
I mean, that's what he does.
Speaker 5 (38:54):
Well.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Zion Williamson had, you know, more of an argument for
people to criticize his way because he hadn't won anything,
he couldn't stay healthy. This is Patrick Mahomes we're talking about.
I Mean, I know they didn't play the best in
the Super Bowl, but my.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
God, I don't think you have to have a chiseled
body to be a great quarterback. I mean, I don't
think that Brett Farv had a chiseled body. I'm sure
he had a dad body if he took his shirt off,
but he was one of the best. You know, there's
a lot of guys. You could look at Ben Roethlisberger,
you think he had you think he had chiseled abs.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
I don't think so. But he was a great quarterback
for the Steelers for years. I mean, you know, the
list goes on and on.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
So I mean, I look the radio host. You know,
you want to be polarizing, you want your team to
be all in in the summer workouts. But to mean
somebody personally like that about their weight, it crossed the line.
So you know, we'll see if this guy's punished or not.
But you know, Shannon, you ever check me if I
ever start talking like that, will you?
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (39:49):
I have to check you on a weekly basis that right,
Not not necessarily on that, but I'm just saying on
one thing or another.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Kazar is coming up next.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
We learned also yesterday that Mario is afraid of tarot cards,
well witches wishes.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Yeah, he's afraid of which.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Yeah. I knew that tarot card reading, right.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
I knew that because I was on the trip when
he was afraid of the place that we stopped in,
and I bought one hundred dollars rocks for a gift
at this place that we stopped off at, but marioas
having no part of it. So we need to get
Mario I think we need to do like a thing
where we get him like a tarot card reading. Remember
the guy that called in a couple of weeks ago, Yeah,
he gave you a tarot card reading.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
He gave me one.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Next time Mario is on as a pre show guest host,
we need to have that guy call in and give
him a reading on the air.

and for Billy Relents, I'm Shane of The Dude.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
We'll talk to you tomorrow. Thanks for listening.
Welcome everyone. It is the KSR pre Show. It's Wednesday,
July ninth. I am Shannon the Dude in the Loisville
studio being joined by Billy Relichi's in Lexington and you
can give us a call on the Clarks Popping Shot
phone line eight five nine two eight oh twenty two
eighty seven be our Whiskey Thief call of the day.
If you can't call in, you can always text us
at five two two six five six six five six
(00:22):
at Shannon the Dude on Twitter at Billy our Sports
as well and uh Billy. Midweek Friday, we're going to
be doing the Donut Challenge at Ryan Lemon's house. I'm
looking forward to that coming up in a couple of days.
But uh, I was just sitting here before we went
on the air watching this Cubs first pitch from Alvin Kamara.
Did you see that? We were talking about it on KSR. Man,
(00:43):
you only get one crack at it unless you're Alvin Kamara.
And I guess you know, you throw a bad pitch,
you asked for it to come back, and they just
they just let you throw it again. I've never seen
a second pitch and the second pitch doesn't matter if
you don't do it right the first time. It doesn't
It doesn't matter if you throw the second pitch good, correct.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I mean on this gale of fair or foul. This
is as foul as you can get. I mean professional
athletes that are make millions of dollars in their sports
come to do the first pitch and look like a fool.
John wall is one of them. You know, if we
go outside the sports world, fifty cent had a really
bad one back in the day. You have to take
that embarrassment. That's part of the risk of doing a
(01:21):
first pitch. So the give me the ball back, let
me throw another pitch completely foul, Shannon hate to see
it from Alvin Kamaria.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
If you spike it into the ground, you just have
to own it. If you throw it to the backstop,
you have to own it. It's just the way it
is now. In related news, I've got this is actually
some breaking related news, oh breaking, I can share with you.
I will be throwing out a first pitch coming up
on Tuesday, July twenty ninth at the Lexington Legends game.
(01:48):
I've been asked to come out and throw out the
first pitch. I'll try not to do the Alvin Kamara'll
throw it straight into the ground and actually get it
over the plate. But Bill A, I'm gonna do it
one time if it if it goes, you know, three
feet in front of me, then that's that's the first pitch.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
You don't get to go back and do it again.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Every time we have a remote in Lexington, all we
hear is Shannon the Dude had to get up early
and drive to Lexington. How come there can't be any
remotes in Louisville. I can't, My guy, Shannon the Dude
is also thrown out the first pitch at a Louisville
Bats game. So how the hell are you encroaching in
my territory here in Lexington and throwing a first pitch
for the legends.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I mean, look, the legends want Shannon the Dude. What
are you looking because.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Listen, look there's already a Shannon the Dude day here
in Lexington because you walked fifteen miles. Now you get
to throw out the first pitch too.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I'm a little upset, uh, liss, I love you, Billy,
but there is a hierarchy, all right. I've been doing
this for twenty one years you need to slow down,
young buck.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
All right, you'll get yours in time.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
You got to put in your due, you know your time,
and and I've done that, so you know what, regardless
they've asked me to do it, I'm going to do
it on July twenty ninth, and look forward to seeing
everybody out there.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Okay, I'll just you know, host a booty shaking contest.
Maybe that will get me in the good graces of
the people in minor league baseball. But looking forward to
would you say the day was for that July twenty ninth.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
July twenty ninth, Okay, So if you want to come
out and cheer me on on the first pitch, then
then come on out.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Well, we'll wait until July twenty ninth. Happy Wednesday, July
ninth to you, Shannon, July ninth will be the shortest
day in recorded history today. Did you know that?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
How is that?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Well? This summer, the Earth is spinning abnormally faster as
a result of the Moon's position, and this speed up
will knock anywhere from one point three to one point
six milliseconds off the typical twenty four hour day today
July twenty second, in August fifth will be the three
shortest recorded days in human history.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Wow, I guess I got to like get things done quickly,
got things done.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, today, so this show, you're gonna have a little
less one point six milliseconds.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
So this show should be going about really fast today
then right.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
It will, And eventually in twenty twenty nine we're gonna
have to adjust the clocks a second forward because of
these these move backs.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I did not know that usually.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I figured that the shortest day of the year I've
always been told was on December twenty first, which is
my birthday. So I guess today is actually gonna be quick.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And I believe that's the least amount of sunlight.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Oh, okay, that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Most least amount of daylight guy or yeah, I think
you know who knows?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Facts are optional.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
As we know, I stayed up late to watch my Braves.
I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I'm a glutton for punishment. I guess I should have
just gone to bed. I mean, when the game started off,
Billy with the first pitch from the Braves was an
inside the park home run, and the second pitch hit
the next batter on the hand, I'm like you know what,
it's just it's not going to be worth staying up
for tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
But she just turned it off there.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Well, I think I think I did. After the first
inning it was five to nothing to the A's. You know,
the A's don't even have a city. They're just the A's.
They don't nobody wants them. They're not even in Oakland,
they're not even in Las Vegas. They're like in purgatory,
you know, MLB purgatory, somewhere in the middle. And they
lost ten to one last night. At the think Kamara
(05:00):
should have been pitching for him. I thought that he
actually was when I saw those first couple of first
couple of pitches, But.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Well, you know, a game gets away from me and
you throw the position player in. So maybe in another universe,
Alvin Kamara comes in. After that first ending, I saw
it was the first leadoff inside the park home run
in eighty two years, and that pairs it with the
Giants walk off inside the park home run last night.
I just saw it onto the Sports Center top ten.
That's the first time that's happened since twenty sixteen. So
(05:28):
a little bizarre at Little League Play. The inside the
park home run making a name for itself.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yes, I can't never remember there being two in one day,
and like you said, the first one and what eighty
two years for a lead off first pitch? Man, I mean,
could you have not at least thrown a ball outside
before you gave up the inside of the park home run? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Just get the game going. You just take the first pitch,
I mean, settle in.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I looked up to the scoreboard, it was it was
three to nothing A's and the guy for the Braves
that only thrown seven pitches.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Wow, that's rough. Not a good day either, So you know,
not the best for our teams. Yesterday you just mentioned
Sports Center ESPN. Sports Center is going to be just
a couple of blocks down from where I'm at.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Later on tonight, they're doing.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
The Fifty States and Fifty Days tour and Sports Center
is going to be at Slugger Field doing their live broadcast.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
So if you watch to night at six o'clock, it's
going to be right here in Louisville.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
That's kind of cool that they're doing this tour and
they picked Slugger Field for the place in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That is cool. I am curious on what they're going
to talk about Michael Eves, I believe is going to
be anchoring the coverage. He is a former cat spent
time in the Lexington market at WKYT before he went national.
So they're in Louisville, but they're bringing a Lexington anchor it, Shannon.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
So it's on Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
It's all Kentucky though, it's all Kentucky stuff that they're
going to talk about, Hobby. Yeah, that's the point of it.
It's fifty days, fifty states.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
So I guess it'll be Kentucky and Louisville topics that
they'll be talking about. And I guess Michael Eaves is
going to have to, you know, grin and smile at
the camera when he's talking about that. But you said
that they're at Louisville Slugerfield.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, yeah, it's just a couple of blocks down.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Maybe I should go, like be in the background and
crash the crash the party there at Sluggerfield.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Well, you've already told us there's levels to this stuff, Shannon,
And why not just walk onto sucker Field and say hey,
I'm here, that's.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Right, Yeah, former first pitch ee out here.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, have you seen my movies. I'm a background extra exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I could be a background extra and Sports Center tonight.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I think you've already been in the background of the
Today Show, right, that's true, that's true. A couple of
time make it too for two.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Not a whole lot of sports related stuff going on
for Kentucky. But you know, yesterday, I don't know if
you saw this, they had a scrimmage for Kentucky basketball
and they were playing for the new Kobe's, the new
Kobe Venice beach shoes, which I'm not a sneakerhead like
Matt Jones is. He probably already has a pair of
these in his house. He's got like two hundred pair.
(07:50):
But the winner of the blue white scrimmage got the
new Kobe's And did you see how the game ended?
Did you see the highlights on this my guy, my
guy camarena you made. I'm telling you, you keep mocking
me if we're being on the Moreno train and saying
that this guy is going to be an important part
of this team coming up. But you know he's impressing
(08:10):
in practice. Mark Pope said, you know, his his play
is jaw dropping. That was the adjective that he used.
Not not beautiful but jaw dropping. And then he comes
out here yesterday in the scrimmage and hits a full
court shot to end the game on a walk off,
and they got the new Kobe's. That was pretty cool though,
that they got. They were doing this for shoes, you know,
(08:33):
for the winning team, and a full court shot for Moreno,
are you going to backtrack what you said when you
were making fun of me for saying that Marino is
not going to be an important part of the team
this year.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Well, look, I mean raising the stakes in a scrimmage
playing for limited edition Kobe shoes. I mean, no better
way to get these guys, you know, pumped up and
playing their hardest. So I absolutely loved the you know
something on the line in the scrimmage and for Malki
to make that full court shot was awesome. It was
one of the great videos we've seen come out of
these summer workouts. I'm not backtracking yet. I do like
(09:04):
to hear a guy like Cam Williams say single out
Malachi Moreno as one guy that's been really good defensively.
They've talked a lot about how good they've been defensively.
Jad and Quainton's even going as far as to say
that Kentucky could be one of the best defensive teams
in the country this year, which is quite the change
from the first year. Yeah, Pope, so that is refreshing.
(09:24):
But you know what, we'll see how Jade and Quaintance
comes back from injury. You know, we'll see how much
Brandon Garrison has improved. You know, when you said that
Malachim Moreno was going to be the difference maker on
the team this year, that doesn't necessarily mean he's not
going to play good in spots. I just think that
there's so much talent at that position it's going to
be hard for the freshman to find his footing. But
from reports early on, this guy's making a difference right now.
(09:47):
And you love to hear that.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Well, I could have sad Jayalen Lowe could have given
you Otega away. I feel like that's the obvious answer.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
But if you're saying, give me somebody off the radar
who could maybe make an impact this year, that's why
I gave you that answer.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
But we'll have to wait and see you though, But
I'll have a.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Great off the radar answer, Shannon as he is proving
his worth so far in the summer. I will say
he tried to drive across a T box at the
Ronald McDonald Classic. I had to tell Maliki, no, no, no, say.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
On the car path.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Well, he's not a golf but man is I didn't
say he was a great golfer. I didn't say, you know,
he's a basketball player.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
That's what he says.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
In a repin Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Strong.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Now we got the Loft Familia team rep in Kentucky.
First game is coming up next Friday. And you may
have talked about this last week while I was out,
but I want to get your take on it because
I didn't get to hear it, and I'll give you
mine now. They're going to be hosting the region in Lexington,
and if they move on they win that bracket, they'll
be playing in Louisville. But I wanted to ask you
about the latest roster edition on this Law Familia team.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
They added some guy named Jesser. That's I guess.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
He doesn't have a last name, he's just Jesser and
apparently he's a YouTuber. And I'm seeing this news going,
what are we doing? I mean, obviously this is some
sort of publicity stunt, and I see some people going, well,
you know, he's he's got a lot of followers, and
maybe he could, you know, bring some awareness to Kentucky basketball.
And look, Billy, I've lived in Kentucky my entire life.
(11:07):
Maybe I'm naive to this whole thing, but I'm pretty
sure that there's not people out there who are like,
Kentucky has a basketball team.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Really, I didn't know that until Jesser told me about it.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
What do you make about Lo Familia bringing on a
YouTuber to be on the official roster?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Well, the benefit is not awareness of the Kentucky basketball program.
It's the awareness of the TBT. It's a business decision
by the TBT, and if I'm them, I think this
is a great decision because Jesser is a guy that
has thirty three million followers or subscribers on YouTube and
Shannon there were several times at the end of La
(11:43):
Familia games last year the game is in hand, it's
a twenty point game.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
So put Jesser in right, So put jess as this.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Is a guy that is not going to be talented
enough to play fifteen to twenty minutes with former Division
ie players, former professional athletes in the NBA and overseas.
This is a guy that maybe makes you sit up
in your seat a little bit when it's a fifteen
to twenty point game and these guys who are former
professional athletes are not conditioned the same Shannon. They're huffing
(12:12):
and puffing, and you know what, maybe the quality of
the basketball takes a hit a little bit. I was
like you, Jesser, you know this is la familiar. These
are former Kentucky players. We're kind of branching into these
influencers and a little bit of different. I had never
heard of the guy until Mario comes up and joined
me on the pre show the next day and sang
(12:35):
his praises, talked about this is a guy that's a
mover and shaker when it comes to basketball content online.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I just want to see the guy. I just want
to see the guy get into the game just to
get dunked on.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Well, that'll happen, don't you worry. I'm you know, he's
not going to be able to stop some of the
natural athleticism that you'll see in the event. But I
guess this is gonna be a way to bring in
a different audience, right. I mean maybe the YouTube family
is going to come and watch some of these games
for the TVT, but it seems like to you it's
you know, you are you not happy with the because
(13:09):
we're doing that and just bring on anybody, right, Just
put any you know, put Ryan on there.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Fans watch every second of every game if there was
a chance Ryan Mike.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Ryan doesn't have thirty three million followers or whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
But you know, if we're going to start putting celebrities
on it, then you're not really I thought you had
to be like a former player, you know, a former.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, that has been laxed. Like I see a lot
of teams in the TVT that don't exactly have their
alumni playing. So you know, it's we're just having fun
in the summer, right, So we'll see if Jesser makes
any impact.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Well, it's interesting that you say that Jesser is bringing
awareness to the TVT. I see it as the TVT
is bringing awareness to Jesser because I never who knew
who Jesster.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Was, right, I Mean, that's the business move here is,
you know, Jesser takes some of their audience and the
TVT takes some of his is, but it's just a
different life. I don't know if you watch, if you
looked up any of his videos channel, but these guys
can make millions upon millions of dollars by posting these videos.
It's it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Maybe I need to get into the YouTube game. Then
eight five nine two twenty two eighty seven, we'll take
your calls. Coming up next Shana the Dude, Billy R Sports,
and Jesser.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
We'll be right back. What are you laughing about?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Welcome back? Is the KSR pre show? Some I'm just
telling this show needs a producer, man, it does. It's
tough trying to produce the show and on a halftime,
don't even know what I'm doing over here, trying to
put give me credit man, a lot of multitask and
going on like.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
A machine over here.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
You just brought to my attention during the commercial break
this this video of these guys fighting on a golf
course that wasn't moreno, driving his his golf cart over
the green tea box with it. No no.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
And it's also something we can't play on the air.
Some explicits, but uh yeah, always good for a good
on the course golf fight. I posted it on my
Twitter this morning. But the guy picked a fight with somebody,
and the guy he picked a fight with ended up
being a former NHL enforcer, Shannon. So that's not the
guy you want to pick a fight with when you're
on the golf course. Only one instance in my life
(15:13):
I thought I was going to fight somebody on a
golf course. Oh really, okay, I thought golf was a
gentleman's game. Why are you guys fighting? That's not very gentlemanly. Well,
the tempers can really get heated in golf when like
somebody's behind you hitting the ball into you, like maybe
they think that you're playing low.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Somebody picks up their putt.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Somebody picks up their putt or the somebody else's ball.
You know, people have been drinking a little bit. You know,
maybe we'll meet you in the parking lot later. It's uh,
I don't know. It's it's one of those false confidence
kind of tough man things when you're on the golf.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I've got to hear about your near fight that you
had on a golf course.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Oh well, somebody was just hitting into us. Being a
bunch of fraternity brothers all day, like literally for the
entire nine holes that we were playing, and a couple
of the other brothers that were with me were much
more heated than I am. We ended up parking right
next to the person that was ended up hitting next
to us, so they had to come right to us,
and there was a big argument in the parking lot.
You know, young Billy r sports here one hundred and
(16:09):
twenty pounds, soak and wet in college. Who's trying to
We're trying to not be involved? Yeah, no, no, no,
I was. I was not being the uh in your
face pushing people's chest. But you know what, tempers can
flare on the golf course and if you just be
careful of well, I don't want to worry about me.
I'm not you're gonna find me on a golf course.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
But that's why though, you had to watch who you
pick a fight with, because you don't know who that
person is.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
You don't know what they're capable of. You can't fight crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Sometimes, like the skinniest, scrappiest person is the one that
you don't want to mess with because they got nothing
to lose, right right. It's not usually, you know, sometimes
it's the big guy with the big muscles. But sometimes
it's the little guy that you think, oh, I could
take that guy. Then you realize you got to you,
you know, much more than what you bargain for when
the guy's kicking your butt.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So right, it's it's the KSR listener that took a
chop from cash flow at RKSR golf Scramble that you
probably don't want to, you know, maybe get in a
fight with.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
That's right. This is crazy, But there is a big
fight going on. You may have heard about it, Billy,
it's insane.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Tristan is on right now. What's up? Trustan hell a.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Good mar gentlemen, good morning. So this is these are
two questions from mister or the dude. So the first
question is is generally speaking, why are there no metal
stations on the radio. There's a lot of hard rock.
You know, the hardest rock they play is like Alison Chains, right.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Unfortunately, a lot of those stations have sort of morphed
into classic rock, so they take like a lot of
the nineties like Metallica and You're Alice and Chains and
bands like that, and they've sort of put them all
together with the classic rock. So you go hear like
ac DC, and then you'll hear some of the nineties stuff,
and there's I guess, not a whole lot of I
(18:54):
don't want to say there's not a lot of demand
for metal, because there is. If you look at Louder
than Life Fest, which books one hundred and sixty metal bands,
there's two hundred thousand people out there, so there's definitely
a demand for it. I think that it's just hard
to market that in radio because you know, when you
have a radio station, you got to sell advertising, and
I don't know that advertise. You know, it's easy to
(19:15):
sell a metal radio station to advertisers. So I think
that that's probably why you don't see that all though
broader audience with classic rock exactly exactly you know on
the Fox and Trustan. I don't know if you're from Loisville,
but the Fox was a active rock station that I
was on for years. We would do like a thing
on Saturday night where we would play metal for two hours,
(19:36):
but it wasn't like an entirely all exclusively metal station.
So I think that's probably why it all comes down
to the advertising aspect of it.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Sure, thanks for your insight on that mother question that
I had for you. Is on the rock stations, is
there like a like a quota you have to play
like the Silk Collins song once every hour and you
got to play you know, like Hotel California, y and
say things like that, thanks, thanks for you're in title.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Hang up with Yeah, thanks for the call, tist and
well contra formula.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Right, Contrary to popular belief, I don't actually get free
reign to play what I want on those stations. As
a matter of fact, it all comes down to the
programming director who is not me, who picks those songs.
And you know, every now and then, Billy, I'll throw
one a song or two that maybe you know, if
i'm if I've heard Devil went down to Georgia every
(20:26):
single day for the last one hundred days, I may
take it out and put something else in there.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
But yeah, once in a while, Well look man, here's
the way I'll see it.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
It's my show. Why should I not be able to
play what I want to play? It's my show. Why
am I playing what somebody else wants me to play?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, I guess in theory that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Rachel Elliott came on and talked about this very thing
when it comes to country music. Ninety eight won the
ball AMZ in Louisville. You know, there is a process
to finding out which songs are played, whether it be
listener retention. They want to get you to the next
commercial break. They want to get you to listen as
long as possible. But yeah, there also need to be
you need to have the liberty used to be able
to take out Charlie Daniels every once in a while,
(21:08):
to put in Alice Bluegan. Well, actually, you probably can't
play your own music, can you. No, I don't, I
play like a clip of it, but I could play
it on here. I guess I could play a clip
of it if I wanted to. But yeah, I mean
not to sound arrogant or like I know more than
you know the higher ups here at the stage. But
you know, I've been I've been in this market for
twenty one years on the radio. I kind of feel
(21:29):
like I know what this like, what Global likes, what
Lexington likes as well. You know like that because different
cities don't necessarily like the same playlist, and they that's
the one thing. They try to make everything so cookie
cutter to where every classic rock station sounds the same.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
What works in one state is not going to work here.
It's it's it's different, right. You get more blue collar people,
I feel like in Kentucky than if you, you know,
had a rock station out in la or up in
New York City.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
It's different.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
You can't do a cook key cutter, one size fits
all when it comes to programming music, and I feel
like that's kind.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Of what rock stations have become. So what song have
you heard the most? What have you played the most?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
That sticks out every time I hear Kansas? I want
to jump out a window. I feel like we play
that one every Kansas.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Oh oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
It's like really again like led Zeppelin probably, and I
see that one on there, I'm like, no, don't want to,
don't want to play that one again.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
But yeah, for the most part, it's all play some skinner. Yeah,
play free Bird, We'll do that, come it up next. Hmmm. Yeah,
that's got to be the most requested song of all time.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I mean scalley. So it's a it's a it's a ballot,
it's a classic, right, Yeah, but you hear something, you
hear you have anything too much? Right, the same food,
same dessert, you hear the same song. Anything's gonna get old?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Yeah, sorry if I went on a rant that last segment,
Tristan was a couple of great questions, but you know,
kind of a sore spot where somebody who's been doing
this for twenty years, Well, people.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Are reminiscing on the text line five O two two
six five six six five six talking about the old
Double Q days, the old Fox song of the day.
I mean, there's a lot of things you probably can't do.
It's on the old rock radio.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
But Bennetti's Tony Vannetti's Thong of the Day at Foxhrocks
dot com had more hits than anything else that we
could put up free tickets to Leonard Skinnert, but Vannetti's
Throng of the Day would have more hits on it
on that on that website than anything else that we did.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
I walked into the Double Q studio back when I
first started. There's underwear on the wall, there's there's signatures
on the wall. Everybody that had come into the studio
signed the wall, and it was it was really cool, right.
The studio was like a shrine to the years of
this rock station and and now our studios now they
all looked the same.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
That's right. They all have a great carpet on them.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
We were talking during one of the breaks that the
new cover for the NBA game, the NBA Video game
has shake gilges Alexander on there.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
But you said they screwed up. They got Al Horton
on there twice.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Well I'm not I'm not sure if this is confirmed
or not. But if you look at the cover, which
by the way, congratulations. This is the season of Shay
right been scoring title MVP, you know, NBA champion. He
is cementing himself as you know, one of the best
Kentucky players of all time in the NBA. But as
a kid, it was a big deal. Who was on
the cover of these games, whether it be Madden or
(24:16):
two K it was is definitely a nod of respect
to whoever gets it in congratulations to Shay. But I
feel like they've gotten lazy on the cover art. I mean,
it used to be something you could hang in your bedroom.
The cover art was so good back in the day.
Now Shay is on it, but it looks like they've
transposed Al Horford twice onto the image. Are you looking
at it right now? Yeah, it looks like we got
(24:37):
his bald head twice on the cover, which would obviously
not be a play in a single game it was.
It's I guess, more of an edited image. Does that
look like the same player to you, Shannon or am
I crazy?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
We we're congratulating, you know, Shae Gilges Alexander. I think
we should be congratulating Al horfor twice. I mean, the
guy is the first person ever to make the the
NBA two K cover not once, but twice in the
same year. I think that's even more impressive. I think
it also shows you how you know a little of importance.
Background stuff is like background acting. For instance, they could
(25:13):
put two Shade and the dudes in that wrestling movie
and nobody would know.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah. Yeah, But we also listen to songs and people
have no idea what the actual lyrics are.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Right.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
We've done that show where we actually read out the
lyrics of some of your favorite songs. They end up
being really depressing or talking about something you had no
idea about. So maybe there's a sense of, you know,
we like things, but maybe sometimes we don't look at
the details.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I mean you would think that though, I mean there's
four players in the background, You would think that somebody
in the editing department would go, you know what, it
looks like we got two al Horford's on there.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Maybe we should put somebody else in the background.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah, well, I think I think you'll see. Laziness is
something that you not only find in two K covers,
but a lot of graphic design. It looks like to
me it's Ai, you know, like the background was done
by It does look like Al twice though, doesn't it like?
I'm not crazy, No, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I think I think it actually is. I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Eight five nine to twenty two eighty seven. Caleb is
up next, Hey Caleb, what's up?
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Hey Shannon Billy, Good morning guys. Good morning Horford easily
my favorite Celtic on the team right now. I just
love the guy. I'm so glad we got him years ago.
But hey, I just wanted to we were talking about music.
Just give Alice Oh just playing on the radio as
we speak.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
On the radio, you cut out.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Oh sorry, I've got Vince by Alice Bluegown playing on
the radio as we speak. It's such a great song, Shann,
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Man.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Want to give you guys a shout out my two
year rolls. We drive home from daycare, I've got Helio's
playing and he's already head banging in his car seat.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Awesome beer. So that's awesome raising them right, Buddy.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
I appreciate you guys, man.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Appreciate it. Thank you so much. Thank you, Caleb.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, we're gearing up for our big hometown show so
Mount Washington. We're gonna be playing at the West Banco
Amphitheater on July twenty fifth. So looking forward to seeing
everybody out there in my hometown. And that's gonna be
a lot of fun. Hopefully everybody can make it out there.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I'm not saying this just because you're my co host.
I really like Bent. I think that's a great song, Shannon,
and you know Helios is good too. But Bent has
definitely grown on me.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Appreciate it. Eight five, nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. Billy.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
While I was gone, I continued to get more and
more of these these not only foreign money. Now it's
becoming letters to go along with it, and that's the
best part.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Right You get a little story of how the person
found you and decided to send you money.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Right.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Well, there was one that stuck out in particular, and
I wanted to read this one to you.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Did he say check on Billy or ask him if
he's okay, or something like that. We've gotten that a
couple of times.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I don't think you know. Yeah, I don't think you're
mentioning this one.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
But he asked for some advice, and I thought, you know,
you and I could discuss it and maybe maybe give
our guys some advice here. Or is mister the dude
my name is one. I'm a cowboy from Mexico. First
of all, that's quite an opening line. A cowboy from Mexico.
I don't know any cowboys in Mexico, but I guess
I do.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I'm sure he's happy he doesn't have to take his
shoes off in Tsa anymore.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Yeah, he says it has become too hot and I
want cooler weather. So I was visiting Montana and might
be moving there. As I travel, I come up on
KSR and listen to you and I looked up shows
and articles from the past and see that.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
You collect form money.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
One.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I don't actually collect FORG money. People just send it
to me. Though I never asked to collect FOREGN money.
It just it was forced upon me. Basically, please add
these pesos to your collection. But he's asking, though, should
he move up north? He wants to know should he
move up north or should he stay in Mexico. That's
the advice that he's.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Wanting from you or me.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Wow, I don't know how hot it is right now
in Mexico one, but it is so hot in Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I feel like I'm in Mexico.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
So I would say, if you're wanting to move north
for cooler weather, don't move to Kentucky, at least not
in the summer, because it is straight up hot.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah, Montana is where you're looking to move. Just expect
the shock of the winter in Montana. If you're going
to move from Mexico to Montana, that is going to
be quite the change. So just be prepared to be
shaken in your cowboy boots. Maybe a little bit, but
you know, I'm sure it's I'm sure it's pretty hot
down there in Mexico. And I can imagine you would
want to get away from that heat eventually. But have
(29:20):
you been to Montana, Shannan or is that the Dakotas
that you've been to.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
With the Ah.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
I think we went through do we go through?
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I think we may have went through Montana on the
way to Seattle, although I hard to keep track.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I don't really know s curves that you take throughout
the cop fel like we.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Might have went through part of it, but I could
be wrong.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
But if you said, okay, live in Mexico or living
in Montana one, I'm gonna tell you to stay in Mexico.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I don't think what if.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
You would choose Mexico over the United States of America.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
It depends.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I mean, look, America is great. Are here, They're trying
to make it great again. But if you're telling me
Montana is the only place in the United States that
you were going to go, I don't think.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
I don't know. Again, I haven't really been to Montana
enough to know.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
But if you said you can move to any place
in America, Montana would probably be on my.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
It'd be low, but it'd be ahead of Mexico.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
I mean again, I'm on I've never been to Mexico,
but I hear it's beautiful, and you know, if you
live by the ocean, I don't know. Would you trade
ocean front property for Montana.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
I don't think I would.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I mean, yeah, Mexico would be fun for a week,
maybe two, but then you know, try to go to
Mexico City and hopefully you can survive that encounter. I
don't know. I mean, I like my freedom of speech
in this country, so you know, I'm gonna stay in
the States. But you know, maybe maybe a honeymoon or
something to a place like Mexico wouldn't be that bad.
But you're all about the beach, that's all you are,
(30:50):
so you can't see yourself in Montana. No stuck in
those mountains and being zero degrees in October.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
So on. I would say stay in Mexico if you're
If Montana is the only choice, definitely don't go to Kansas.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
That's the place you want to avoid. Like the plague.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
They actually came out a couple of days ago. I
forget which website it was, but it listed the most
boring cities in all of America. Wichita, Kansas was number two.
I couldn't believe what they had. They had Jacksonville, Florida
Number one saw that. Tell me, you're telling me I
have two options here. I can live in Wichita off
Kansas or Jacksonville, Florida. And you're telling me Jacksonville, Florida
(31:28):
is more boring than Wichita.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Get out of here. That's that's blasphemy.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Now, just based on geography, you'd think there'd be more
things to do in Jacksonville, right, I mean it must
be a retirement home community if that's if it's the
most boring city in the country.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
You think retirement places don't have fun though. I mean,
KSR just went there a couple of weeks ago. Those
people sounded well, Now, I.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Think they would. I did think they would. I don't
think they would like you saying that that they are
a retirement community. I think Ryan said that several times,
which they weren't very happy about.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
But you're right.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
You know sometimes upside down pineapples are found there much
more than they are in places like Wichita.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
You know how people will believe anything On Facebook, Billy,
I came across this. I came across this post that
has nearly nineteen thousand comments on it, and I was
just reading.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
I didn't read, obviously all of them, but I was
just reading through some of them.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I couldn't believe the amount of people that actually believed
this was a real story and a real thing. You're
from Florida. But there's this post that's, you know, gone
viral on Facebook. Again it's fake, but people don't apparently
understand that They've got this post of it's I think
it's AI.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
It looks AI.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Generated pictures and it's called the Sunburn Competition, and it's
these people. It says it takes place in Florida, and
it's got these pictures of people just with just you know,
completely burnt red skin and people.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
I can't believe that they cannot.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Differentiate the difference between an actual and fake post. It's
amazing how many people fall for fake post on Facebook.
I just every time I see that, I'm like, really,
people are like, why would you do that?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Like people aren't.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Actually doing it, it's fake. People believe anything they see
on Facebook. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Is there an image to go along with it? Is
it one of those AI images or is this just
more of like a post like a headline that you're
talking about.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
I shared it on on Facebook at Shannon of the
Dude Radio. But here it is if you can see.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
It right there. Okay, so yeah, that's obviously fake.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
You get a sign of people that will fall over
the Burt guys there.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
And I've thought of you, because you're gullible, Billy, You'll
believe anything. And I thought, you know what, Billy, probably
somewhere in those nineteen thousand comments is in there going
I would never do such a thing.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Well, you know, you got to take the time to read,
to use your critical thinking skills. Here's the thing. When
you're doom scrolling, Shannon, you're just you know, you're going up,
down and up and down, and you see a headline
and you see a couple pictures of some bald guys
getting burt, and you see the headline sun Burnt competition.
If you don't read anymore, and maybe it allows your
(34:05):
mind to think, Hey, those guys must be really stupid
to be doing that. It's the people that like are
asked or think that they should comment on these things,
or they're they've been duped so far even after reading it.
You know, for the most part, I think we're at
a time where we can still tell the difference between
AI and in a real thing.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Oh no, no, we're all doing age groups.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
You know, it's a it's an older age on Facebook,
and so it's it's much easier to fool and and
and people get angry on that on that social media
site on x included.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
When the headline is the ninety ninth Annual Sunburn Competition
is happening now in Pahokee, Florida, and the source is
spilling celeb tea.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
We're all doomed. People are believing that they'll believe anything.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Yeah, and I don't think you're finding a governing body
to do a sun burnt competition. I mean that's some
some serious health risks involved there. Well that's pretty but yeah,
it's pretty much the entire comment section.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Why would you do that?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Why are they doing this?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Some sunscreen? On eighty seven, we're gonna take a break,
take more of your phone calls. Coming up next it
is the KSR pre show one hundred point one w
a cake. Oh yeah, no, no, we're on ksrpre show.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Wrong show.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
In my mind as automatically goes into double Q when
I hear that song. I was just looking during the
break billy. What a rib You know, I've talked about
how much I don't like the state of Kansas, and
I'm not a fan of the band Kansas. I'm looking
on our calendar next week on Double Q. They've got
me giving away Kansas tickets. They're plotting against me here.
They're they're forcing me to give away Kansas tickets. That
(35:41):
is incredible. What a rib, uh billy. Yesterday the verdict
came out for the Crystal Rogers case. We talked a
little bit about this a couple of days ago, and
I was telling you, like, looking at the evidence, I
didn't think they had enough on the guy. Well, they
the jury convicted them of murder and gave them a
life sentence. So I mean, talk about something that I
(36:02):
thought wouldn't happen. The jury went all in and gave
them the maximum punishment.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Right, I think they recommended the maximum punishment. I think
there'll still be a sentencing there. But they only deliberated
for only four hours, so I think that kind of
shows you that they had their mindset. I thought was
interesting what the detective said afterwards, John Snow not the
game at Thron's character. He said something to the effective
I feel like we got a little more to go.
And then when asked about what he meant by that,
(36:28):
he said, you'll see so.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Oh yeah, I mean that was just one murder. There
was so many other murder.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Jason Ellis the police officer that got murdered in the
middle of a street while he was trying to remove
a brush pile in Bardstown. Then you had the father
of Crystal Roder that got shot while he was hunting,
and then I think there was a couple of others
as well. But yeah, I think they're just scratching the
surface with all this stuff in Bardstown. And it's been
ten years, you know, so it's finally coming, you know, unraveled.
(36:58):
I don't know what's gonna come next. But kind of
shocking that they recommended life sentence. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
I mean, when there's no body or no murder weapon,
or no even crime scene, it's tough to find a case.
But we've been following this closely for, like you said,
over a decade, so big news yesterday with the verdicts coming.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Up, I wanted to ask you about this story that
I saw a Kansas City radio host speaking of Kansas
Kansas City radio host ripping Patrick Mahomes because he was,
according to this radio host, out of shape. There was
a picture that Patrick Mahomes, I guess, posted over the
fourth of July weekend, and it was a picture of
him with his family and he had a shirt off.
They were around a pool and this Kansas City radio
(37:39):
host just starts ripping the guy. Here was his quote.
He said, dude, your fat, stop the fast food, do
us sit up.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Do anything?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
I'm going man, that is brutal coming from a radio host,
a talking head. You know, we've said before that guys,
maybe you're out of shape, but we wouldn't go as
far as to call a guy straight up fat and say,
you know, do a setup, dude. This guy, this radio host,
is getting ripped for his comments as he probably should.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Yeah, no, he should. I mean, these are professional athletes.
They're achieving things that this radio host can only dream of.
And I only became aware of the story after people
started posting pictures of him sitting criss cross applesauce in
a white castle shit and going over some sliders. So
it was it was like, you know, how can you
be the one to you know, lecture somebody or call
(38:29):
somebody fat? But he's not especially one of the greatest
quarterbacks of all time.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
But well, yeah, first of all, yeah, okay, yeah, maybe
Patrick Mahomes has a bit of a dad bod, but
the guy still is, if.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Not the best, earn the best, that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
And you know he's not a quarterback that's going to
go out there and scramble anyway. He doesn't really have
to be all that active. He's a guy that sits
back in the pocket and throws the ball and wins titles.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
I mean, that's what he does.
Speaker 5 (38:54):
Well.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Zion Williamson had, you know, more of an argument for
people to criticize his way because he hadn't won anything,
he couldn't stay healthy. This is Patrick Mahomes we're talking about.
I Mean, I know they didn't play the best in
the Super Bowl, but my.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
God, I don't think you have to have a chiseled
body to be a great quarterback. I mean, I don't
think that Brett Farv had a chiseled body. I'm sure
he had a dad body if he took his shirt off,
but he was one of the best. You know, there's
a lot of guys. You could look at Ben Roethlisberger,
you think he had you think he had chiseled abs.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
I don't think so. But he was a great quarterback
for the Steelers for years. I mean, you know, the
list goes on and on.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
So I mean, I look the radio host. You know,
you want to be polarizing, you want your team to
be all in in the summer workouts. But to mean
somebody personally like that about their weight, it crossed the line.
So you know, we'll see if this guy's punished or not.
But you know, Shannon, you ever check me if I

he was afraid of the place that we stopped in,
and I bought one hundred dollars rocks for a gift
at this place that we stopped off at, but marioas
having no part of it. So we need to get
Mario I think we need to do like a thing

in on the last segment of a show on a
Monday or Tuesday, we can do that with Mario A.
