Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show.
Today is Monday, July fourteenth. I am Billy Rutlidge along
with Shannon the Dude. You can give us calling the
Clark's Pumping Shop phone line that's eight five nine two
EIGHTHO two two eight seven or Texas anytime at five
oh two two six five six six five six. The
KSR bre Show is brought to you by Italics Fine
(00:22):
Italian Dining in Lexington, Kentucky. That's where I'm at today,
enjoying some hazelnut coffee. It almost tastes like I'm having
a Shannon the Dude brew this morning in the studio,
having that hazel nut. What's up, Shannon? How are you hey?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Doing good? It's funny you mentioned that I was actually
at a beer fest over the weekend, hung out with
the guys from Country Boy Brewing, Nice and the Keg
Bleue before the festival was even over, which is great news.
That means people love the beer, they're drinking it, and
you can of course get it in Kroger stores starting
in September throughout Kentucky. Really looking forward to that.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah, you guys changed the recipe not too long ago.
And it tastes good. So the cans come out and
excited to have a little bit of that in the
coming weeks. Maybe Bourbon and beyond Louder than life. When
Shannon the Dude's working out every day out there, we
can get some to us.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
That's the most wonderful time of the year. Eight out
of eleven days at a music festival.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
That's coming up, right, I mean maybe September.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yep, September eleventh, I think it's the first date on that.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Well, yeah, a couple more dog days this summer to
get through, and this week is definitely one of them.
We'll talk about the SEC media days starting this week,
some action in the Vegas Summer League, and we'll gear
up for the start of the TVT on Friday. But
Ryan and Drew are at a golf scramble a little
later today. No Matt this week, he's on vacation.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Whoa wait a minute, Wait a minute, Matt's on vacation again.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
That's right, that's right again? Is this the pot calling
the kettle black here?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Shannon?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Is mister vacation or has Matt succeeded you as the vacation.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Kids up there? Many of the should we call him
a KSR loyalist. People who have been listening for a
long long time have somehow been brainwashed by Matt into
believe that I get an extraordinary amount of vacation time
because of what Matt says on these airwaves. But I'm
here to tell you that Matt actually gets double the
amount of vacation that I do. Check the tape, go back,
(02:12):
count the days, go back. I'll remind you he took
ten weeks off last year straight. Remind yeah, ten straight weeks,
and I believe you haven't had like another week or two.
So he took ten to twelve weeks last year. So
for everybody who's like, oh yeh, shen, it takes a
lot of vacation. Yeah, I get four weeks. I would
love to have ten weeks, though, but I don't get
(02:34):
ten weeks.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
It's a sensitive subject, I know. But Ken, you've been
at this company for twenty years.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Right, I mean longer than any of us, longer than
anybody on the show, that's right. I mean I was
doing rock radio before KSR even started.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I mean that's you were here before that. You were
an intern for multiple years, weren't you. I mean you
paid your dues.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
One summer I was. Then I came back for a
second summer, and then I was like a month into
that internship and they go, hey, we need to hire
some part time We're going to hire that guy. Here
you go, here's your six dollars an hour.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Those opportunities just don't they just aren't as ready available
in the in the radio industry to you.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Man, Like, you know, you're great at what you do.
You're talented. All right, Oh, thank you by but you're
very lucky that you got in the way that you did,
h cause you got like, you know, right right into KSR.
Like you just went from part time to being a
part of the biggest show in the state of Kentucky.
Which I'm glad to have you here. But I mean,
(03:32):
you know, I'm just saying my path was a little
different than yours.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, so you went the intern route. You were doing
rock radio, setting up events, the long Game. I took
a part time job out of college. I had to
move back in with my parents, sweeping the floor. Shannon,
I say that generally I was doing like bats games
and crusade for children marathons, but uh, you know, there
was a job backup Shannon the dude. Nobody wanted to
do it. It was a kind of a tough job.
(03:57):
So Billy our Sports came in and and the rest
of history. Now we've got our own show, and we're
coming up on four years on the pre show.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
That's right. I can't believe it's already been that long,
but you are. You keep track of the shows, and
we're getting close to show one thousand, that's right.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
What are we gonna do for show one thousand? Because
I got all that beer can chicken pringles over the weekend, Shannon,
and all the chips are broken in the Pringles cans?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Well, yeah, still eat them?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I should I message Amazon? Or how does that get remedied?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah? Yeah, just message Amazon. They'll probably give you a refund,
they'll give you an Amazon gift card.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Okay, all right, I was excited for that.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
How many of those pringles do you think you could
eat in fifteen minutes?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Oh gosh, I could definitely get a whole can down?
Maybe two? But what a day that was. On Friday,
Ryan's valiant effort, he pretty much got seven down before
he smashed the last three together, and what was probably
the worst strategy move he had on the day, But
I'll be honest with you, Shannon, when Dante came over
the fence and started screaming at Rhyne and gave him
(04:55):
that second wind. The adrenaline I felt during that moment,
Shannon was unmatched to anything I felt earlier that day.
That was probably my favorite moment. What did you think
about Ryan's challenge on Friday?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Well, I thought it was a great effort, But then
I also realized, once the donuts showed up and we
actually had a look at what he was about to
try to eat, that he had no chance because these
are bigger than your average size glazed donut, and they're
thick through and through. I mean, there's just a lot
of bread there, and that was going to be the key.
I mean we talked about that on the pre show
(05:26):
Friday before the donuts showed up. I said, it's all
going to depend on how dense these donuts are. That
will make or break whether or not he does this
or not. And he was closed. At one point he had,
like you said, he got it. What did he ended
up with? Eight and a half?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I think so, yeah, seven and a half. I think
we had gotten seven down and he kind of went
with that strategy to put all three together.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Anyway, he rolled up this massive donut into a ball, yeah,
the size of a softball, and I could tell at
one point that he had in his mind he was
going to put that entire glob of donut in his
mouth until he realized it wasn't physically possible to put
in that big of a ball of a donut in
his mouth. So that was sort of where he just,
(06:09):
I think, you know, threw in the towel.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Afterwards, he said he should have started drinking water to
begin with. When he tried to do the first two,
his mouth was really dry. That's when I started gagging.
When he started doing all that dipping in his water.
I was definitely in the splash stone Jen luckily with
my stick. Mike, the sideline reporter not only does jockeys
but major league eating contest here that we did not
get any of the spray. But man, I'm like you,
(06:34):
I saw those donuts. I didn't think there was any shot.
But I thought he did a little better than I
thought he was gonna do, honestly, Like I mean, it
came down to the end, and like you said, he
just couldn't get it. All in his mouth at the end.
But it was a valiant effort. But nevertheless they got
to return all the money, right, Ryan didn't get any
of that money.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, yeah, all that money has to go back. I
think we said, what the charity from Commonwealth is still
going to charity. So oh that's good. That's money is
still going there. But yeah, the go fund me, everybody
gets a refund. You get your money back. Right. It's
an all or nothing thing, as it should be. There's
no participation trophy here. You know, when I walked my
fifty miles, if I walked forty nine, I didn't get
(07:11):
the money. The bet was can you walk fifty? In
this case, the bet was can you eat eight and
a half donuts? It was can you eat ten fifteen minutes?
There's actually ten, so I mean this could have gone
a lot worse.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I just love the stance that you've taken on Ryan
in this donut contest. It's not jealousy using out of you, Shannon,
but you know what you need to make sure you
get your respect for your fifty miles.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, and people are saying I'm jealous. Why would I
be jealous of Ryan? Like I'm not jealous of him
eating ten donuts.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You didn't get the money either.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
He didn't get the money either, so no I would
I'm jealous of them. I already got my money. I
was hoping that he actually would do it, but you
know it's yeah. I think he quickly realized this was
a mistake once they opened up the foot by one
foot box and only six donuts were in there. Like,
if you give me a box that if you can
picture a foot by a foot box, these donuts were
(08:00):
so big they couldn't fit ten of them in there.
They could only fit six, just to give you an
idea of the size of these donuts.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Well, he was walking it back as soon as he
said it on the show the first day. I think
he was like, well, I don't know, but a big
thank you to CNS Pools for sponsoring that remote. And
that's the summer show for ksr folks. I mean that
is it's about to a t as you can get.
So that was a lot of fun. Speaking of money,
I do want to say a happy belated birthday to
my fiance Marissa Shannon. Over the weekend, we went to
(08:27):
Cincinnati and had an airbnb and experienced the city did
a lot of things like good went to the Farmers Market,
went to the Reds game, in which I had brought
out a little bit of the KSR curse. Remember we
were making fun of the Rockies for having an All
Star and tomorrow's All Star game. Shannon, Yeah, well, the
Reds play the Rockies and they end up losing to
the Rockies in one game.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I go to one game that they lost.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
The team that's twenty one and seventy Shannon. The Reds
can't get past them, but they win the next two,
so they took the series. It was a really fun weekend.
But what happened, Shannon, what I wanted to bring up was,
you know, we rented an airbnb that didn't have cable.
It had one of these like boxes. I don't know
if it's like Pluto TV or what. There's strange channels
that you have to find to be able to watch
(09:10):
any TV yep. And the only TV channel I found
that I liked was the twenty four to seven prices
right Bob Barker only channel.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
That's the station that Drew and I were watching when
we were in Wisconsin during the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I mean, I must have watched two hundred episodes of
Bob Barker's Price Is Right over these last two days.
So much so, Shannon, the fact that I fell asleep
to The Prices Right Bob Barker being on, So I
think I dreamed that I was on The Prices Right
over the weekend. Just the natural sounds playing in the background.
It was like I was on the show over the weekend,
because that thing did not leave my TV over the
(09:45):
last two days.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I've always wanted to be on The Prices Right, But
when you start looking into it, like what is required
to be on that show, that's.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Like what like waiting in line before the taping and
stuff like.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I can't remember the details now, but like several years
ago when I was out in LA I was seriously
considering going to a tape you know, the Price is Right.
But they were saying like you got to be in
line at like four am and you got to stand
there all day in line, and you know that's just
to get into the build or the possibility to get
into the building, and then you know, just the possibility
(10:17):
to be able to be the person that gets called up.
They calm down, right, you get into yeah, and I'm like,
you know, like, we're only in LA for four days.
Do we want to give up an entire day just
to do this? So I I decided not to. But
if it weren't that long of a process, you know,
sitting there giving up your entire day for the chance
to be on the show, That's why we decided not
(10:39):
to do it. But if I, you know, if you
if I had two weeks out there, I would take
a day and do it.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Well, we got the next best thing, right, didn't we
go to the Traveling Prices right show that's come around
in the last few years.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
You did, and I did two, two separate shows, but
it's not the same.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
We didn't get called up either, or it had been
a much bigger part of the KSR pre show.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Oh yeah, Like what game would you be the best at?
Or like, what game would you want to play if
you were on the Price is right?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Well, it's always been Plinko, but now we've got these
miniature Plinko sets all throughout the office, so I can't
choose that, right, Yeah? Is it like Mountain Climber the
other one?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I think that would probably be mine.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, it was really cool to watch just like the
old food products that they would have in these old
Bob Barker episodes too. You know it's like this box
of brown rice for eighty cents. Shannon.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, well, that's the thing like when you're when you're
watching those old school prices, right games, you gotta remember, Okay,
prices are not exactly We're not even close. And forget
about being exactly, they're not even close to where they
are now to where they were then. So you got
to just you know, factor in inflation of what year
was it. You know, the cost of a car in
the seventies was what, oh yeah, a couple thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
These final showcases with cars and trips, I mean it's
like fifteen thousand. You know, I'm way off on all
my guesses, and you know, I don't know if womanizer
is the right word, but the women would lose their
mind when going up to see Bob up there and
a lot of kisses on the cheek. I mean, I
mean this was I mean a dream in the making
for all these people.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
See, that's the difference between Ray Dawson, was it Ray Dawson,
Richard daw Richard Dawson, Ray Combs of Richard Dawson, who
would kiss the ladies on the Family Feud. But on
the Prices, right, Bob Barker wasn't kissing anybody. All the
ladies were kissing him, that's right.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
And remember required to kiss Richard Dawson. You had to
get an STD test before you went on Family Feud
back in the day.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
You want to talk about things that would not fly
in today's world. What if who's the Peve Harvey went
up and smooched every contestant, every female contestant on the
Family Feud today? Like, there's no way that would fly,
but there.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Would be There would be contestants that that would be
the only reason why they'd go want to go on
Family Feud is to give Steve Harvey a little kiss,
And I think felt like they did that Richard Dawson.
But you get called down by Bob Barker. People losing
their mind. And I'd like to think Shannon the Dude
would be one of those people. Oh if it would
Bob Barker, I still would be excited.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
With Drew Carey, but you know, you watch the old
school Prices right versus like now with Drew Carrey, it's different.
You realize how much charisma Bob Barker had compared to
Drew Carey, who basically has none. Yeah, it feels like
Carry is completely just phoning it in and.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Bob feels like he's cashing a check.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah, Bob Barker was witty, he was charismatic. He was
like the ultimate perfect game show host. And Drew Cary
is like, oh, congratulations, you want a new car? Oh,
you're spinning the wheel. We got anybody you want to
say hi to? Just like what it's you know.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I wonder if it's changed over the years, because they
film a lot of shows back to back, so I
wonder if that was the same way, if Bob was
doing that and Drew is doing that now. But speaking
over the weekend, While I was on this weekend retreating Cincinnati,
Shannon the Dude tagged me in a Twitter clip that
I am just I don't know what to think about it. Shanon,
It's one of the more bizarre moments that I've had
on Twitter. At least somebody has tagged me in. Yeah,
(13:52):
how would you set this up? Because I want to
play the clip here if we can.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Well, okay, so you're gonna play it. You got the clip, right, Yeah,
I got it. Okay, So somebody on Facebook actually sent
this to me on Messenger. I think his name was Bob. Anyway,
I'm trying to give credit where credits due. He said
this to me, and I'm not even sure what show
this is from it it's not like Law and Order SVU,
but it's one of those type of shows. And they're
(14:16):
looking for I guess a guy who is a suspect
and his name well happens to be Billy Relige.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Let's play Okay, here, that looks like Billy June's last name, Sandy.
Do you know Billy's last name? Hey, anyone knows Billy's
last name?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Did it?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Stop? It's a first come, first or situation. But yeah,
he stayed here quite a bit. And what he wasn't
here on the streets? On them? What's going on? Is
it not playing even more than a.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
It is served by a hospital, then a hotel.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
This is a primetime TV dram.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Okay, but hold on, I didn't get to hear the
part where you said your last name? It cut out.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Oh you didn't hear it?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
No, I think it's rutger Ulich. Billy Rutlich. Billy say
often it's a first come, first serve situation. But yeah,
he stayed here quite a bit. And what he wasn't
here on the streets on a park.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Billy was a bit of a loaner.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
He laid the open.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Space of the park even more than a nice warm bet.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Huh, better served by a hospital then a hotel. That's it.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
That's a whole clip.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Well, there's actually more to it. I tweeted out the
full club. I didn't want to tweet out the part
where it basically said that you had passed away. I
thought that might be a bullet taste.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
So I'm dead, and I'm dead. I'm a bit of
a loaner. Yes, uh, you posted the picture of the
the new you is what the show is called, an
ion io in Oh.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I've never even heard of that before, but change.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
You know, I hear Billy all the time, right, I've
become numb to it. But when Billy Rutler dies off
in then Ion show, Shannon, that definitely rose my eyebrows
a little bit over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah, so I cut the clip on the original tweet
from a couple of days ago because I didn't want
it like I said, include the part where you died.
I didn't want to put rip Billy Rutledge because then
people might see that and actually think that you really died.
So I had to be careful in how I captioned
the post. But on the on Twitter right now at
Shannon the Dude, I posted the full clip where you
(16:25):
can hear that they said he passed away this morning,
So well he died.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
But my thing is, though, like you know, we such
a shame we talked about this.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
You're supposed to be my agent, right, You're supposed to
be on the actor here. Okay, not you on the
actor You're supposed to be getting me the acting roles,
not inserting yourself into the storylines like you did on
this one here.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Well, you shouldn't feel too bad because I didn't get
a speaking role either. I mean I didn't even get
on CAM.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I just got.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I just got he's a bit of a loaner. But
how about that Billy Rutlige being used in movie dramas.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
You'll always be drumming. You'll always see like uh if
you ever pay attention to like the credits at the end,
like any similarities or similar names to anyone living or
purely coincidental.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
These are fabricated stories or things like that.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah, yeah, you know. And if it were like Matt
Jones or something like that. I mean, that's a very
basic common name, right, But Billy Rutledge is not. I mean,
Billy is common, but I don't feel like Rutledge is
all that common. So to have those those two names
put together and put on this show is sort of odd.
I've never heard anybody's name that I actually know in
(17:29):
real life, be like a fictional character on a show.
And yeah you are so congratulations, No.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Well, thank you, Yeah, bruston my debut. Yeah, passing away.
If I'm nine two eight oh two two eight seven,
are you in a TV show?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Let me know.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
If not, I am. But even though I didn't get
much screen time, I guess I should think that there's more.
Billy Rutledge is as my grandfather and my dad went
by Billy Rutlidge as well.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Listen to the clip, the full clip that I posted
during the break here.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I'm going to go find that right now because I've
got to see more of I guess fifteen seconds of fame, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
This is it.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I got to cash in Now, that's right, we'll talk
about the Vegas Summer League and a couple of Kentucky
players that have been going off recently. Uh, and much
more on the way, including the home run derby tonight, Shannon,
get your popcorn back back, back, back back, will be
right back, Welcome back. A couple movie stars here hosting
this show, Billy Rutlige and Shannon the Dude eight five
(18:22):
nine two eight oh two two eight seven You can
always Texas five o two two six five six six
five six, where one person says, now Michael Bennett and
Billy Rutledge have been knocked off.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Ah. Are you noticing a trend here? Both which co
host of mine or at least former co host of
Oh that's true, I'm going for watch out.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
If you've done a show with Shannon the Dude, how
many more co hosts do you have?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Shan, she didn't realize is this whole KSR thing is
just a guy is under a murder mystery, A bigger
thing that's going on. There's a bigger picture. Yeah, you
ever heard a cad in the library with the candlestick.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
The KSR curse? No, that's just Shannon playing over here.
One person on the text line says Richard Dawson met
his future wife on family feud and also before she
became famous, Vanna White was a contestant on the Prices
right now, that's right.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I've seen that clip. And there's a clip of Vanna
White on contestant trow and Bob Barker calls her out.
He's like, stop looking at yourself on the monitor and
give me your bid, because I guess he was asking
for a bid, and she was like this stilly at
herself and making sure her hair was, you know, not
out of place. She was looking at herself on the monitor,
and Bob Barker calls her out. I gotta see if
(19:33):
I can find that clip while we're talking about that.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Oh please do I also like how in price is
right people just look to the crowd for their guesses.
I don't know if their mine just turns off?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah right, yeah, It's like, do you not have a
thought of your own? Well? Why do you have to
look to the crowd for everything?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
People are trying to mouth things or give them hands
signals that thing.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
If I were up there, I would look to the
crowd at all because I'm like, who's up on stage
right now, Is it me or is it you? Back there?
Like this is my game. I'm gonna guess what I
think is right now what the crowd thinks.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Well, we know that you are a specimen Shannon. You
don't get embarrassed by anything. You're not gonna take anybody's advice.
You're gonna go up there and do things your way.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yeah, we know that it's gonna be my car to lose,
not theirs.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
One person we know is doing things their way is
Kobe Braya. How about this guy, Let's give him a
shout out. After a first two games in the Summer League,
he scored nineteen points on seven of ten, shooting four
or five from deep, and then followed it up with
a fifteen point performance for the Suns. Kobe Brea. You know,
Kentucky didn't have a first round pick in the NBA
draft for the first time in what a decade. Kobe
Brea showing out a little bit. Over the weekend. Read
(20:36):
Shepherd had a big game for the Rockets with twenty
eight points and doing a little trash talking.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
It was a it was a good weekend for former Cats. Yeah,
Reach Shephard's going off man. That what nine straight was amazing?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Nine straight twenty eight points, eight rebounds, four assists, for steals,
three blocks, and six three pointers in that game and
posted a little of the trash talk he was doing earlier.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
And Reaed Sheppard was the guy that was, you know,
completely off the table when it came to any sort
of trade talks. You know, they made a trade and
Breech Eperd's one guy that they said was untouchable. So
clearly they've got big plans for him. And you know,
the time that he has been in the G League,
it's like he's too good for the G League, but
not good enough for the NBA. He's somewhere in the middle.
The way it kind of feels that the Rockets have
(21:18):
treated his playing time so far well.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
He's also had, you know, some struggles, not a ton
of assist over these these couple of games. He also
is getting cooked defensively. But that's somebody that I think
is such a good shooter. It's it's tough keeping him
off the floor. And Kobe Braa fits that mold as well.
We'll be watching guys like Amuri Williams, Jackson Robinson, Andrew
Carr as they continue to try to fight for roster spots.
(21:41):
But also over the weekend, Shannon, I don't know if
you saw this. We're getting ready for the TVT On Friday,
the TBT had a Champion's charity a game on Saturday
at the I guess Darius Miller bought the new Sporting
Complex over there by the Kentucky Brandon Mall and they
had a little event there. But it was a non
Kentucky alumni, DJ Burns that stole the headlines. He scored
fifty points in the game.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Shannon, Wow, Wow, DJ Burns.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Of all people, who is DJ Burns and why is
he scoring fifty points in our alumni champions game.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
It's pretty amazing though, right it is.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
But like you know, it was they welcome back a
lot of people that aren't playing in the TVT tournament,
like Alex Poythraus was there. I already mentioned Darius Miller,
it was, you know, Khalil Whitney was talking to the
fans even though he is playing in the TVT. But
I don't know, I don't know what he's doing out there.
Scoring fifty with our guys doesn't make sense to me.
We'll take a break and be back you're the care jes, sir,
(22:36):
welcome back. It is the ksrpre show on a Monday.
We'll hand it off to Ryan and Drew at ten am.
Until then, you've got us Billy and the dude, Corey Price.
Our friend texted in and said this TV show that
I was on his name Blue Bloods Shannon. The episode
was called The New You. It aired May seventh, twenty
twenty one, and five point eight million people watched it
(22:57):
when it originally aired. That seems like a good number.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
That's a good number. Not quite as good as Wrestlers
or Queen of the Ring, which I believe got ten
point two million.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Queen of the Ring and your holding back there?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Have you seen that yet?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
No? No, where's it at? I mean I have a
media box, so I'm sure I can find.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
It's all there. Yeah, just go just go on where
movies are and it's right there. Queen.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
All right, I'm making that my homework this week to
watch a little Queen of the Ring, Shannon. We have
the home Run Derby tonight. The MLB All Star Game
is in Atlanta tomorrow night, but tonight we have the
home run Derby. A cast of characters like Cal Raley.
Who that was the guy that had the big button nickname, right, Yeah,
the big Dumper they call the Big Dumper. He's on
(23:39):
page though with Barry Bonds to set that home run record.
You know, we talked about that several weeks ago, and
I think he is either I think maybe one home
run behind Barry Bond's pace. But my point is, I mean,
this is a guy that I don't feel like is
being talked about enough and is very much in the
running to break the all time home run record in
a single season. Well look, I mean, this is gonna
be my moment to get a good look at the
(24:00):
Big Dumper, Shannon. I haven't watched a lot of Seattle
Mariners game, but I do like a big dumper, and
Cal is gonna fit that for me tonight. And you
can bet on the home run derby on draft.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
On Draft Kings and right now they've actually got a
boost going on with a fifty percent fifty percent boost
if you want to do that on Draft Kings, and
of course if you're a new customer, you can sign
up with promo code ks. Are you bet five dollars,
you get one hundred and fifty in bonus bets and
Home run Derby. I always try to bet on it
when I can. I guess the last two years I've
done it, right, How long is I've trying to remember
(24:30):
how long has gambling been legal in Kentucky? Has it
been over a year?
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Right?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
So I guess win too. So I guess last year
was the first year I felt like I've done this before.
But I guess last year was the first year that
I bet on the home run Derby. But anyway, do
it with DraftKings promo code KSR bet five, get one
hundred and fifty in bonus bets and uh same game parlays,
live betting player props. You can do that with the

Slash audio Billy, I've got the clip of Vanna White
on the price is Right and Bob Walker calling her out.
If you want to hear guys, Yeah, let's hear it.
Here we go, five hundred and seventy seventy five. All right,
(25:20):
Vena the bets again. Ask you know, you're so busy
looking at yourself on the monitor, you don't know what's
going on.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Six fifty six eighty five seventy five? What are you man?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
There? You go?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Six?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Oh? I think what had happened there? Everybody kept overbidding,
and he was getting frustrated. Everybody kept outting what was it?
Every person's bid? Why don't you pay attention?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I love Bob giving it back to her a little bit.
He's he's got a show to run. You need to
pay attention. Some bad bids back in the day, though,
Like people are on with the program now betting one
dollar or you know, I guess one dollar over another person's.
But back then they didn't know what they were doing.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Now I'll see some people like saying, oh, I feel
bad for Vanna if Bob was being mean too. I
don't feel bad for Vanna at all, because she ended
up having the easiest job Kushberg assisted in the world.
She's still getting paid millions upon millions of dollars to
go up. And she doesn't even have to turn the
letters anymore. She just goes up and touches a screen.
It's all touch screen. You know. Back then, at least
you had to have a little risk action. You had
(26:21):
to actually physically push the letter to turn it around.
Now she just goes up to go there. You go. Oh,
you get like how many millions of dollars per letter
that you touch on a screen?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Listen, I understand, Vanna. It's not easy. Looking this good.
It's a it's a full time job. That's right before
we get to the phones. I I you know, SEC
media days are today. Greg Sanki is one of the people.
I guess he's kicking it off today. And I just
saw a quote that said SEC's Greg Sanki said SEC
is supportive of expanding men's and women's NCAA basketball tournament.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, this guy, I think that's a horrible idea.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
This guy is just this crusade because Texas A and
M was somebody that had a good SEC tournament a
few years back, and they deserve to be in the
NCAA tournament. Shannon. When you expand the tournament, it rewards
fifth and sixth place Power Forward Conference teams. It doesn't
put more men majors in the game. Obviously it brings
more revenue. But you know, Greg Sayki's done a lot
(27:13):
of good for the SEC. This is just one issue
he will not get off.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah, Texas A and M had a great run in
the SEC tournament, So what that's why you play an
entire regular season. If you don't count what happened earlier
in the regular season, the why play the games to
begin with? So I mean, yeah, you went on a
great run in the SEC tournament, but you didn't do
anything worth getting you into the tournament in the regular season.
So it's a little too late at that point. You know,
they could have won the tournament and got in. So
(27:39):
I'm with you man. Expanding the tournament I think is
a bad idea. I think it's inevitable because they keep
pushing and pushing and pushing, and eventually these things are
going to go through because the almighty dollar, right, we
can make even more money if we do more games.
But is anybody going to care at the end of
the day. And when you allow all these teams in,
what does it even mean? Oh, I have a coach
(28:01):
over here who's made it to twenty straight NCAA tournaments. Yeah,
but they let in one hundred teams.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Now, Yeah, you're devaluing the regular seasonactly. And I don't
want to feel like a gatekeeper here, Like I'm not
here to say sixty eight's the perfect number, because I
obviously even preferred sixty four. But you know, there can
be such a thing as too much of a good thing, yep.
And I just hate to see maybe the best thing
in sports, the NCAA tournament, get saturated with teams that
(28:25):
don't deserve to be there. But you do you, Greg.
Let's go to the phones. Eight five nine two two
eight seven. Tristan is on the line. What's up, Tristan,
Good morning, gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
I've got a short anecdote and a request for you.
So there's a guy who I'm in a group with.
He's who genuinely serves as the chaplain for this group.
And my guy, he says the word Father about thirty
five times every time he does a prayer. Thirty five
to forty we count, and there is now an over
under betting system based on that. So's you know, heavenly
fathered this? And oh father this and follow that. So
(28:59):
you know, we're all and up there counting. Uh. And
so we have this fun game we're playing over under
on how many times he says the word father in
a prayer. Now, my related request is that, Billy, every
time you record the Interrupted with Matt Jones podcast, please,
for the love of God, do not turn off the
email notifications books. I'm going to start doing the same
thing for your podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
You can keep it, I'll keep it off.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I think the last one, Billy, Yeah, I haven't heard
these are is like an email notifications going.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Well, you know, we had to use two Yeah, it
was so tristan, a little behind baseball here. We had
to use two computers in the studio here in Lexington,
so you got double notifications and they were software updates.
So I've got to update some softwares this week to
make sure that doesn't happen again, Shannon. But yeah, uh
it was. It was clearly over the podcast several times.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
You're telling me Matt does Clearly Matt doesn't hear this,
or he would be losing his mind, right, there's no way.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, I think he heard it, and I was like, yeah,
don't worry about it. It wasn't on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Is he a lie to them? Okay?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
But wasn't a lie? I was just like, no, Yeah, well,
you know, it's it's part of the charm. Thank you, Tristan.
You know, like when you listen to the CaSR aprecio,
you can count how many times I say Shannon's name,
And there was, you know, back in the day people
taking side bets on that as well. I think I've
gotten a little better at that, but I bet you
I probably get close to twenty.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah, you say my name quite a bit. That's okay though,
you know it's good. It's my crutch just in case anything.
And it's who, you know, who you're on the show with.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
You know, people are just turning on the radio. Maybe
they didn't catch the full show, but.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
They heard the other nine hundred and fifty shows we've
done in the past.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah, they haven't heard one. They have no idea who
I'm talking about for our new you know, you know
people do ums or us. Sure, everybody does, and you
do it without even realizing it. It's hard correct because
when I'm talking sometimes I'll do you know, or we
all have them.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
It's just it's natural. And again this is not scripted.
So if it were scripted, we would have none of
that because we would just be reading from a piece
of paper. We don't have tele prompters. This is just
an open mic and you say what you say.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Yeah, no matter how stupid it is, it still goes
over the air's at Shannon doesn't catch it with a
dump button. I mean, people are just gonna just gonna
get to know you one word at a time.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
That's why live radio is the greatest form of media.
You never know what's going to happen. It's unpredictable, it's
not scripted. We don't get to go back and cut
it out of the podcast if we want. I mean,
I guess we could, but I'm talking about this version
right now as you and I are talking, that's going
out on the airways throughout the state and all over
the iHeartRadio app. You know, we could go back and
cut something out later on for the podcast, but right
(31:29):
now as we say it, you're hearing.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
It, and I'm sure there's a charm to that, right
being authentic and natural and being yourself, And that's why
many people love KSRS because we are ourselves. Donut contests
or email chimes and all. But Tristan is our guy
that does tarot card reading. So Tristan call back when
Mario is back in the studio because again we got
to get Mario on the tarot card stuff, Shannon. Today
(31:54):
is the last day of the Running of the Bulls
festival in Spain. Four thousand runners go on each run.
They run about nine hundred and twenty five yards with
bulls chasing them, and it's about a two to four
minute run. Could you ever see yourself being in the
running of the bulls? No?
Speaker 2 (32:11):
No, why would I want to? Like, dude, I don't
need I don't need that big I don't need that
big of an adrenaline rush to go out there and
possibly get gored by a bull. I don't think the
trade off would be worth it for me.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
And it happens every every race. I mean, that is
just a risk that you run by doing the running
of the bulls. Now, you know, expand that to these
bullfighters or matadors that hold the cape in front of
the bulls. Have you ever seen people do like a
poker game in an arena with a bull and the
last guy sitting down wins. It's like you that's you
are getting asked to get gorged in that game. There's
(32:45):
there's popular rodeo games where people sit in I guess
the the the arena and then wait for the bull
to come hit. You talk about the dumbest game of
all time. Shit right, I mean you're just asking for
a horn to go into your eye.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I don't know why anybody does that. I really don't.
And I guess maybe it's the adrenaline junkies out there
that fill the need of risking their life to go.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Out her cash brize out there. I mean, I can
get shanned the dude out in a ring for a
price tag.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Not for that. No, that's one of those things I
can talk about great jobs, Van of White, That's my
type of job, going out there and you know, competing
with bulls for the chance to win money. Not going
to do that. Also, not going to do this other
thing that I saw. You know, in Florida, it's python season,
so they're giving away I guess the state of Florida
is giving away ten thousand dollars to whoever goes out
(33:35):
and gets the most pythons from the Everglades. And that
I don't care how much money you paid me. I'm
not going to go out there and do that job,
no way.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
But they can't use tools, right, It's not like you
can use a gun. You got to use either your
bare hands or one of these polls, the ones that
they catch stray animals with.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
I mean there's this guy, there's this guy on there's
this guy on TikTok that goes out and does it
just for fun.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
What does he do? He just finds pythons.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Yeah, he goes out, he catches pythons, he drags him
out of the water. I'm going to this guy. I mean,
it's not going to end well for you.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Man.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Like you're doing good now, but one of these days,
it only takes one one wrong move and your lunch. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
I'm not messing with snakes. I'm not Indiana Jones over here,
but that you know, I'm not dragging them out of
their home and slapping them around. So bulls, snakes, we
will avoid all of those. I got a little fair
or foul for you, Shannon. Something that is always an
issue when it comes to Fourth of July time are
illegal fireworks. But the town of Riverside, California, has taken
(34:33):
it in a different direction. The police have issued over
sixty citations for illegal fireworks over the last few days,
but they did it by using drones. On July fourth,
they had five drones out in the skies patrolling the
skies to spot violators setting off illegal fireworks. They reviews
the drone footage and without telling the people, like you
(34:55):
just went through the bridge and you're getting a ticket
for the pass right the toll bridge, they just send
it in the mail one hundred and fifty dollars violation
for using illegal fireworks. You are being monitored by drones
now in the city of Riverside, California.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
I didn't know that was even a thing. I still
heard some fireworks going off around my neighborhood this past weekend.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Can we find these people? Yeah, exact, that's worse than
illegal fireworks on the fourth of July is fireworks two
weeks after Fourth of July.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
You know, you get your fireworks. I think you get
it that weekend, that's fine, But the weekend after the
fourth of July, I mean you should be done with
it at that point.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Well, that's when I think, like it really impacts people
that have PTSD and pets. There's something to be said
about putting off fireworks the day of or the weekend of,
but really, like we don't need to be extending it
out a week. There were a couple small brush fires
that were started by these illegal fireworks, and maybe why
California has taken such a stance on it. But Shannon,
(35:55):
all I heard were drones patrolling the skies. And if
drones are going to be delivering our grocery, he's ten
twenty years from now, you better believe drones are going
to be policing us. Oh yeah, in ten twenty.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Years if you're watching every movie you make, Oh yeah,
And that's kind of scary, isn't it. Yeah? Because now,
I mean you go out in your backyard and there's
no privacy because there could be a drone right there
just looking at you.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
And there's already cameras everywhere. We've talked about you can't
get away with anything nowadays because you can be tracked
on your phone or by the cameras that are everywhere.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
But just the the helicopter drone watching you, that's that is,
you know, brave New World desk is it's not about
like getting away. I mean, there's nothing I'm trying to
get away with. But my point is just the lack
of privacy. And if you go out in your backyard,
you're sitting on your deck and join a cup of coffee,
there shouldn't be a drone in your backyard looking at you.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
And Matt's talked about that that you know, we will
look back the amount of privacy we have given away. Yeah,
you know, agreeing to every time we go into a website,
agreeing to the cookies Shannon, or the stuff that we
share on social media. I think we will look back
and think that's one of the bigger regrets that at
least my generation has had with social media. A five
nine two oho two two eight seven Texas five o
(37:02):
two two sixty five six six five six. I have
a basketball question to pose to Shannon the Dude in
our final segment, and we'll wrap things up before we
hand things off to KSR on the KSR pre Show. Here,
welcome back. It's our final segment here on the KSR
pre Show, Billy and the Dude. We'll hand it off
to Ryan and Drew here in just a second. I've
got a basketball question for Shannon, but before we get
(37:24):
to that, i'd be remissed if we did not mention
some of the terrible situations that have happened in our
commonwealth over the weekend, including the shooting in Lexington when
a man shot a state trooper near the Lexington Airport
and then killed two people at the Richmond Road Baptist
Church before he was dealt with an unfortunate situation that's
become national news over the last couple of days, and
at a church on a Sunday, Shannon, There's there's nothing
(37:48):
right about that, and we just wanted to say our
thoughts and prayers are with people that are infected by
that senseless strategy.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
It's a crazy situation.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
And then also there was some panic in Louisville when
forty thousand people were evacuated from the Expo Center due
to a false shooting report. Not only that, but while
it was doing a women's basketball event. And then there
was another report at the Kentucky Kingdom right there that
caused some panic. Luckily, everybody was okay in that situation,
but Shannon, get me in a crowd and then people
are panicked like that running. It's not an easy situation,
(38:19):
and I'm sure a lot of people were impacted by
that as well on Sunday. Yeah, you just never know
when you go out, so you don't so be careful
no matter where you go and keep your head on
a swivel. But obviously the unfortunate situation in Lexington will
be something that's talked about for a long time. Shannon.
One basketball question that I had for you over the weekend,
Andreas Jellovich appeared on the UK basketball roster, at least
(38:42):
in the system. He doesn't have a photo, but he
is on the UK basketball roster online, and I'm hoping
this is better situation than Big Z, right, maybe a
better situation than Ninas kantor. I don't know what it
is about foreign players coming to Kentucky. It always seems
like it's a little bit of work. I'm not saying that,
you know, this is a warning sign that anything's gone wrong,
(39:03):
that he's not with the team yet, But Shannon, it
is always a little different getting a guy from overseas,
isn't it.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Yeah, we found that out just getting Big Z here
and then getting him eligible, so eligible in the middle
of the season, right, and how that even happened, I
still have no idea how that miraculously just happened midway
through the season, but yeah, hopefully we're not going to
have another replay of that.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Yeah, and I think this is probably more of a
visa situation than it is the school. You remember the
school was it recently saying you know, you don't have
the right credits or if you don't have this jen ed,
you can't get in. Listen, this is Kentucky basketball. We
find a way to get people in, right. But this
is a guy with really high expectations. How much of
a role do you think Yellovich plays on this team
without even having him on campus yet?
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Well, probably not much. I mean, you look at big
Z once he finally did come, Man, he looked like
the greatest player of ever, of all time against was
it Georgia that he debuted again? It was?
Speaker 1 (40:00):
But remember he couldn't stay on the court, right He
kept getting sick. Remember adjusting to the cuisine was a
tough thing for him.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Yeah, you know, I just would guess that he's probably
going to get some playing time, but again, don't even
know if it, like, is it going to be eligible,
is gonna be ready to go by the time the
season starts. So I would put a whole lot of
stock into his name, right now.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Yeah, right now. You know it may be an instance
that early on in the year that Malachai Moreno and
Brandon Garrison get more run and then at the end
of the year, Jaden Quaintin's and Yellovich are the guys
that maybe get a ton more time. But you know
that's the advantage of depth, right you have the luxury
of being able to have some time to figure out
your rotation. But there's some high expectations for this Yellowvitch guy.
(40:41):
I mean, they're talking about him as a great NBA
draft pop prospect from overseas. So I still think that's
a guy that's going to make a big impact now
when he gets to campus. Who knows. But this week
we'll be talking a lot about that and the TBT
and not only that, but you can bet on baseball
on Draftking.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Shit, that's right. Nothing says summer like long days, clutch
plays and firing off a few bets on the game,
all with DraftKings Sports Book. If you've never bet on
baseball before, it's easy. You can pick a guy to
go yard. You can do the home run derby tonight
if you want to ham or some live odds mids
game or just rob with your squad and hope for
the best. It's all there for you. On the Draft
Kings sports book, new customers sun up with promo code
KSR bet five get one hundred and fifty en bonus bets.
(41:18):
The Crown is yours only on DraftKings.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Had one person said that the hoa's would love those
drones watching the fireworks and tracking to see if your
dog posts, and you know what, you pick up the poop.
You know they do that in places. They find you
a lot of money if you don't pick up that poop.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
And yeah, but I always wonder like who exactly is
watching now? I guess we know you got those drones
flying over.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
The drones and the poor soul that has to go
through the drone footage to see if you're picking up
your dog poop.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
Patrol drones.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
Oh yeah, when you lose your job to AI, that's
what you can do next. That's right, that's gonna do
it for us for Shamon the dude. I'm Billy Relich.
This has been the KSR pre show and we will
talk to you tomorrow.
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show.
Today is Monday, July fourteenth. I am Billy Rutlidge along
with Shannon the Dude. You can give us calling the
Clark's Pumping Shop phone line that's eight five nine two
EIGHTHO two two eight seven or Texas anytime at five
oh two two six five six six five six. The
KSR bre Show is brought to you by Italics Fine
(00:22):
Italian Dining in Lexington, Kentucky. That's where I'm at today,
enjoying some hazelnut coffee. It almost tastes like I'm having
a Shannon the Dude brew this morning in the studio,
having that hazel nut. What's up, Shannon? How are you hey?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Doing good? It's funny you mentioned that I was actually
at a beer fest over the weekend, hung out with
the guys from Country Boy Brewing, Nice and the Keg
Bleue before the festival was even over, which is great news.
That means people love the beer, they're drinking it, and
you can of course get it in Kroger stores starting
in September throughout Kentucky. Really looking forward to that.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah, you guys changed the recipe not too long ago.
And it tastes good. So the cans come out and
excited to have a little bit of that in the
coming weeks. Maybe Bourbon and beyond Louder than life. When
Shannon the Dude's working out every day out there, we
can get some to us.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
That's the most wonderful time of the year. Eight out
of eleven days at a music festival.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
That's coming up, right, I mean maybe September.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yep, September eleventh, I think it's the first date on that.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Well, yeah, a couple more dog days this summer to
get through, and this week is definitely one of them.
We'll talk about the SEC media days starting this week,
some action in the Vegas Summer League, and we'll gear
up for the start of the TVT on Friday. But
Ryan and Drew are at a golf scramble a little
later today. No Matt this week, he's on vacation.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Whoa wait a minute, Wait a minute, Matt's on vacation again.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
That's right, that's right again? Is this the pot calling
the kettle black here?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Shannon?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Is mister vacation or has Matt succeeded you as the vacation.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Kids up there? Many of the should we call him
a KSR loyalist. People who have been listening for a
long long time have somehow been brainwashed by Matt into
believe that I get an extraordinary amount of vacation time
because of what Matt says on these airwaves. But I'm
here to tell you that Matt actually gets double the
amount of vacation that I do. Check the tape, go back,
(02:12):
count the days, go back. I'll remind you he took
ten weeks off last year straight. Remind yeah, ten straight weeks,
and I believe you haven't had like another week or two.
So he took ten to twelve weeks last year. So
for everybody who's like, oh yeh, shen, it takes a
lot of vacation. Yeah, I get four weeks. I would
love to have ten weeks, though, but I don't get
(02:34):
ten weeks.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
It's a sensitive subject, I know. But Ken, you've been
at this company for twenty years.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Right, I mean longer than any of us, longer than
anybody on the show, that's right. I mean I was
doing rock radio before KSR even started.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I mean that's you were here before that. You were
an intern for multiple years, weren't you. I mean you
paid your dues.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
One summer I was. Then I came back for a
second summer, and then I was like a month into
that internship and they go, hey, we need to hire
some part time We're going to hire that guy. Here
you go, here's your six dollars an hour.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Those opportunities just don't they just aren't as ready available
in the in the radio industry to you.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Man, Like, you know, you're great at what you do.
You're talented. All right, Oh, thank you by but you're
very lucky that you got in the way that you did,
h cause you got like, you know, right right into KSR.
Like you just went from part time to being a
part of the biggest show in the state of Kentucky.
Which I'm glad to have you here. But I mean,
(03:32):
you know, I'm just saying my path was a little
different than yours.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, so you went the intern route. You were doing
rock radio, setting up events, the long Game. I took
a part time job out of college. I had to
move back in with my parents, sweeping the floor. Shannon,
I say that generally I was doing like bats games
and crusade for children marathons, but uh, you know, there
was a job backup Shannon the dude. Nobody wanted to
do it. It was a kind of a tough job.
(03:57):
So Billy our Sports came in and and the rest
of history. Now we've got our own show, and we're
coming up on four years on the pre show.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
That's right. I can't believe it's already been that long,
but you are. You keep track of the shows, and
we're getting close to show one thousand, that's right.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
What are we gonna do for show one thousand? Because
I got all that beer can chicken pringles over the weekend, Shannon,
and all the chips are broken in the Pringles cans?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Well, yeah, still eat them?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I should I message Amazon? Or how does that get remedied?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah? Yeah, just message Amazon. They'll probably give you a refund,
they'll give you an Amazon gift card.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Okay, all right, I was excited for that.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
How many of those pringles do you think you could
eat in fifteen minutes?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Oh gosh, I could definitely get a whole can down?
Maybe two? But what a day that was. On Friday,
Ryan's valiant effort, he pretty much got seven down before
he smashed the last three together, and what was probably
the worst strategy move he had on the day, But
I'll be honest with you, Shannon, when Dante came over
the fence and started screaming at Rhyne and gave him
(04:55):
that second wind. The adrenaline I felt during that moment,
Shannon was unmatched to anything I felt earlier that day.
That was probably my favorite moment. What did you think
about Ryan's challenge on Friday?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Well, I thought it was a great effort, But then
I also realized, once the donuts showed up and we
actually had a look at what he was about to
try to eat, that he had no chance because these
are bigger than your average size glazed donut, and they're
thick through and through. I mean, there's just a lot
of bread there, and that was going to be the key.
I mean we talked about that on the pre show
(05:26):
Friday before the donuts showed up. I said, it's all
going to depend on how dense these donuts are. That
will make or break whether or not he does this
or not. And he was closed. At one point he had,
like you said, he got it. What did he ended
up with? Eight and a half?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I think so, yeah, seven and a half. I think
we had gotten seven down and he kind of went
with that strategy to put all three together.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Anyway, he rolled up this massive donut into a ball, yeah,
the size of a softball, and I could tell at
one point that he had in his mind he was
going to put that entire glob of donut in his
mouth until he realized it wasn't physically possible to put
in that big of a ball of a donut in
his mouth. So that was sort of where he just,
(06:09):
I think, you know, threw in the towel.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Afterwards, he said he should have started drinking water to
begin with. When he tried to do the first two,
his mouth was really dry. That's when I started gagging.
When he started doing all that dipping in his water.
I was definitely in the splash stone Jen luckily with
my stick. Mike, the sideline reporter not only does jockeys
but major league eating contest here that we did not
get any of the spray. But man, I'm like you,
(06:34):
I saw those donuts. I didn't think there was any shot.
But I thought he did a little better than I
thought he was gonna do, honestly, Like I mean, it
came down to the end, and like you said, he
just couldn't get it. All in his mouth at the end.
But it was a valiant effort. But nevertheless they got
to return all the money, right, Ryan didn't get any
of that money.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, yeah, all that money has to go back. I
think we said, what the charity from Commonwealth is still
going to charity. So oh that's good. That's money is
still going there. But yeah, the go fund me, everybody
gets a refund. You get your money back. Right. It's
an all or nothing thing, as it should be. There's
no participation trophy here. You know, when I walked my
fifty miles, if I walked forty nine, I didn't get
(07:11):
the money. The bet was can you walk fifty? In
this case, the bet was can you eat eight and
a half donuts? It was can you eat ten fifteen minutes?
There's actually ten, so I mean this could have gone
a lot worse.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I just love the stance that you've taken on Ryan
in this donut contest. It's not jealousy using out of you, Shannon,
but you know what you need to make sure you
get your respect for your fifty miles.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, and people are saying I'm jealous. Why would I
be jealous of Ryan? Like I'm not jealous of him
eating ten donuts.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You didn't get the money either.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
He didn't get the money either, so no I would
I'm jealous of them. I already got my money. I
was hoping that he actually would do it, but you
know it's yeah. I think he quickly realized this was
a mistake once they opened up the foot by one
foot box and only six donuts were in there. Like,
if you give me a box that if you can
picture a foot by a foot box, these donuts were
(08:00):
so big they couldn't fit ten of them in there.
They could only fit six, just to give you an
idea of the size of these donuts.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Well, he was walking it back as soon as he
said it on the show the first day. I think
he was like, well, I don't know, but a big
thank you to CNS Pools for sponsoring that remote. And
that's the summer show for ksr folks. I mean that
is it's about to a t as you can get.
So that was a lot of fun. Speaking of money,
I do want to say a happy belated birthday to
my fiance Marissa Shannon. Over the weekend, we went to
(08:27):
Cincinnati and had an airbnb and experienced the city did
a lot of things like good went to the Farmers Market,
went to the Reds game, in which I had brought
out a little bit of the KSR curse. Remember we
were making fun of the Rockies for having an All
Star and tomorrow's All Star game. Shannon, Yeah, well, the
Reds play the Rockies and they end up losing to
the Rockies in one game.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I go to one game that they lost.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
The team that's twenty one and seventy Shannon. The Reds
can't get past them, but they win the next two,
so they took the series. It was a really fun weekend.
But what happened, Shannon, what I wanted to bring up was,
you know, we rented an airbnb that didn't have cable.
It had one of these like boxes. I don't know
if it's like Pluto TV or what. There's strange channels
that you have to find to be able to watch
(09:10):
any TV yep. And the only TV channel I found
that I liked was the twenty four to seven prices
right Bob Barker only channel.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
That's the station that Drew and I were watching when
we were in Wisconsin during the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I mean, I must have watched two hundred episodes of
Bob Barker's Price Is Right over these last two days.
So much so, Shannon, the fact that I fell asleep
to The Prices Right Bob Barker being on, So I
think I dreamed that I was on The Prices Right
over the weekend. Just the natural sounds playing in the background.
It was like I was on the show over the weekend,
because that thing did not leave my TV over the
(09:45):
last two days.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I've always wanted to be on The Prices Right, But
when you start looking into it, like what is required
to be on that show, that's.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Like what like waiting in line before the taping and
stuff like.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I can't remember the details now, but like several years
ago when I was out in LA I was seriously
considering going to a tape you know, the Price is Right.
But they were saying like you got to be in
line at like four am and you got to stand
there all day in line, and you know that's just
to get into the build or the possibility to get
into the building, and then you know, just the possibility
(10:17):
to be able to be the person that gets called up.
They calm down, right, you get into yeah, and I'm like,
you know, like, we're only in LA for four days.
Do we want to give up an entire day just
to do this? So I I decided not to. But
if it weren't that long of a process, you know,
sitting there giving up your entire day for the chance
to be on the show, That's why we decided not
(10:39):
to do it. But if I, you know, if you
if I had two weeks out there, I would take
a day and do it.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Well, we got the next best thing, right, didn't we
go to the Traveling Prices right show that's come around
in the last few years.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
You did, and I did two, two separate shows, but
it's not the same.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
We didn't get called up either, or it had been
a much bigger part of the KSR pre show.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Oh yeah, Like what game would you be the best at?
Or like, what game would you want to play if
you were on the Price is right?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Well, it's always been Plinko, but now we've got these
miniature Plinko sets all throughout the office, so I can't
choose that, right, Yeah? Is it like Mountain Climber the
other one?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I think that would probably be mine.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, it was really cool to watch just like the
old food products that they would have in these old
Bob Barker episodes too. You know it's like this box
of brown rice for eighty cents. Shannon.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, well, that's the thing like when you're when you're
watching those old school prices, right games, you gotta remember, Okay,
prices are not exactly We're not even close. And forget
about being exactly, they're not even close to where they
are now to where they were then. So you got
to just you know, factor in inflation of what year
was it. You know, the cost of a car in
the seventies was what, oh yeah, a couple thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
These final showcases with cars and trips, I mean it's
like fifteen thousand. You know, I'm way off on all
my guesses, and you know, I don't know if womanizer
is the right word, but the women would lose their
mind when going up to see Bob up there and
a lot of kisses on the cheek. I mean, I
mean this was I mean a dream in the making
for all these people.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
See, that's the difference between Ray Dawson, was it Ray Dawson,
Richard daw Richard Dawson, Ray Combs of Richard Dawson, who
would kiss the ladies on the Family Feud. But on
the Prices, right, Bob Barker wasn't kissing anybody. All the
ladies were kissing him, that's right.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
And remember required to kiss Richard Dawson. You had to
get an STD test before you went on Family Feud
back in the day.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
You want to talk about things that would not fly
in today's world. What if who's the Peve Harvey went
up and smooched every contestant, every female contestant on the
Family Feud today? Like, there's no way that would fly,
but there.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Would be There would be contestants that that would be
the only reason why they'd go want to go on
Family Feud is to give Steve Harvey a little kiss,
And I think felt like they did that Richard Dawson.
But you get called down by Bob Barker. People losing
their mind. And I'd like to think Shannon the Dude
would be one of those people. Oh if it would
Bob Barker, I still would be excited.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
With Drew Carey, but you know, you watch the old
school Prices right versus like now with Drew Carrey, it's different.
You realize how much charisma Bob Barker had compared to
Drew Carey, who basically has none. Yeah, it feels like
Carry is completely just phoning it in and.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Bob feels like he's cashing a check.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah, Bob Barker was witty, he was charismatic. He was
like the ultimate perfect game show host. And Drew Cary
is like, oh, congratulations, you want a new car? Oh,
you're spinning the wheel. We got anybody you want to
say hi to? Just like what it's you know.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I wonder if it's changed over the years, because they
film a lot of shows back to back, so I
wonder if that was the same way, if Bob was
doing that and Drew is doing that now. But speaking
over the weekend, While I was on this weekend retreating Cincinnati,
Shannon the Dude tagged me in a Twitter clip that
I am just I don't know what to think about it. Shanon,
It's one of the more bizarre moments that I've had
on Twitter. At least somebody has tagged me in. Yeah,
(13:52):
how would you set this up? Because I want to
play the clip here if we can.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Well, okay, so you're gonna play it. You got the clip, right, Yeah,
I got it. Okay, So somebody on Facebook actually sent
this to me on Messenger. I think his name was Bob. Anyway,
I'm trying to give credit where credits due. He said
this to me, and I'm not even sure what show
this is from it it's not like Law and Order SVU,
but it's one of those type of shows. And they're
(14:16):
looking for I guess a guy who is a suspect
and his name well happens to be Billy Relige.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Let's play Okay, here, that looks like Billy June's last name, Sandy.
Do you know Billy's last name? Hey, anyone knows Billy's
last name?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Did it?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Stop? It's a first come, first or situation. But yeah,
he stayed here quite a bit. And what he wasn't
here on the streets? On them? What's going on? Is
it not playing even more than a.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
It is served by a hospital, then a hotel.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
This is a primetime TV dram.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Okay, but hold on, I didn't get to hear the
part where you said your last name? It cut out.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Oh you didn't hear it?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
No, I think it's rutger Ulich. Billy Rutlich. Billy say
often it's a first come, first serve situation. But yeah,
he stayed here quite a bit. And what he wasn't
here on the streets on a park.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Billy was a bit of a loaner.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
He laid the open.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Space of the park even more than a nice warm bet.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Huh, better served by a hospital then a hotel. That's it.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
That's a whole clip.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Well, there's actually more to it. I tweeted out the
full club. I didn't want to tweet out the part
where it basically said that you had passed away. I
thought that might be a bullet taste.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
So I'm dead, and I'm dead. I'm a bit of
a loaner. Yes, uh, you posted the picture of the
the new you is what the show is called, an
ion io in Oh.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I've never even heard of that before, but change.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
You know, I hear Billy all the time, right, I've
become numb to it. But when Billy Rutler dies off
in then Ion show, Shannon, that definitely rose my eyebrows
a little bit over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah, so I cut the clip on the original tweet
from a couple of days ago because I didn't want
it like I said, include the part where you died.
I didn't want to put rip Billy Rutledge because then
people might see that and actually think that you really died.
So I had to be careful in how I captioned
the post. But on the on Twitter right now at
Shannon the Dude, I posted the full clip where you
(16:25):
can hear that they said he passed away this morning,
So well he died.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
But my thing is, though, like you know, we such
a shame we talked about this.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
You're supposed to be my agent, right, You're supposed to
be on the actor here. Okay, not you on the
actor You're supposed to be getting me the acting roles,
not inserting yourself into the storylines like you did on
this one here.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Well, you shouldn't feel too bad because I didn't get
a speaking role either. I mean I didn't even get
on CAM.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I just got.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I just got he's a bit of a loaner. But
how about that Billy Rutlige being used in movie dramas.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
You'll always be drumming. You'll always see like uh if
you ever pay attention to like the credits at the end,
like any similarities or similar names to anyone living or
purely coincidental.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
These are fabricated stories or things like that.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah, yeah, you know. And if it were like Matt
Jones or something like that. I mean, that's a very
basic common name, right, But Billy Rutledge is not. I mean,
Billy is common, but I don't feel like Rutledge is
all that common. So to have those those two names
put together and put on this show is sort of odd.
I've never heard anybody's name that I actually know in
(17:29):
real life, be like a fictional character on a show.
And yeah you are so congratulations, No.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Well, thank you, Yeah, bruston my debut. Yeah, passing away.
If I'm nine two eight oh two two eight seven,
are you in a TV show?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Let me know.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
If not, I am. But even though I didn't get
much screen time, I guess I should think that there's more.
Billy Rutledge is as my grandfather and my dad went
by Billy Rutlidge as well.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Listen to the clip, the full clip that I posted
during the break here.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I'm going to go find that right now because I've
got to see more of I guess fifteen seconds of fame, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
This is it.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I got to cash in Now, that's right, we'll talk
about the Vegas Summer League and a couple of Kentucky
players that have been going off recently. Uh, and much
more on the way, including the home run derby tonight, Shannon,
get your popcorn back back, back, back back, will be
right back, Welcome back. A couple movie stars here hosting
this show, Billy Rutlige and Shannon the Dude eight five
(18:22):
nine two eight oh two two eight seven You can
always Texas five o two two six five six six
five six, where one person says, now Michael Bennett and
Billy Rutledge have been knocked off.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Ah. Are you noticing a trend here? Both which co
host of mine or at least former co host of
Oh that's true, I'm going for watch out.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
If you've done a show with Shannon the Dude, how
many more co hosts do you have?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Shan, she didn't realize is this whole KSR thing is
just a guy is under a murder mystery, A bigger
thing that's going on. There's a bigger picture. Yeah, you
ever heard a cad in the library with the candlestick.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
The KSR curse? No, that's just Shannon playing over here.
One person on the text line says Richard Dawson met
his future wife on family feud and also before she
became famous, Vanna White was a contestant on the Prices
right now, that's right.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I've seen that clip. And there's a clip of Vanna
White on contestant trow and Bob Barker calls her out.
He's like, stop looking at yourself on the monitor and
give me your bid, because I guess he was asking
for a bid, and she was like this stilly at
herself and making sure her hair was, you know, not
out of place. She was looking at herself on the monitor,
and Bob Barker calls her out. I gotta see if
(19:33):
I can find that clip while we're talking about that.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Oh please do I also like how in price is
right people just look to the crowd for their guesses.
I don't know if their mine just turns off?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah right, yeah, It's like, do you not have a
thought of your own? Well? Why do you have to
look to the crowd for everything?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
People are trying to mouth things or give them hands
signals that thing.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
If I were up there, I would look to the
crowd at all because I'm like, who's up on stage
right now, Is it me or is it you? Back there?
Like this is my game. I'm gonna guess what I
think is right now what the crowd thinks.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Well, we know that you are a specimen Shannon. You
don't get embarrassed by anything. You're not gonna take anybody's advice.
You're gonna go up there and do things your way.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yeah, we know that it's gonna be my car to lose,
not theirs.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
One person we know is doing things their way is
Kobe Braya. How about this guy, Let's give him a
shout out. After a first two games in the Summer League,
he scored nineteen points on seven of ten, shooting four
or five from deep, and then followed it up with
a fifteen point performance for the Suns. Kobe Brea. You know,
Kentucky didn't have a first round pick in the NBA
draft for the first time in what a decade. Kobe
Brea showing out a little bit. Over the weekend. Read
(20:36):
Shepherd had a big game for the Rockets with twenty
eight points and doing a little trash talking.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
It was a it was a good weekend for former Cats. Yeah,
Reach Shephard's going off man. That what nine straight was amazing?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Nine straight twenty eight points, eight rebounds, four assists, for steals,
three blocks, and six three pointers in that game and
posted a little of the trash talk he was doing earlier.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
And Reaed Sheppard was the guy that was, you know,
completely off the table when it came to any sort
of trade talks. You know, they made a trade and
Breech Eperd's one guy that they said was untouchable. So
clearly they've got big plans for him. And you know,
the time that he has been in the G League,
it's like he's too good for the G League, but
not good enough for the NBA. He's somewhere in the middle.
The way it kind of feels that the Rockets have
(21:18):
treated his playing time so far well.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
He's also had, you know, some struggles, not a ton
of assist over these these couple of games. He also
is getting cooked defensively. But that's somebody that I think
is such a good shooter. It's it's tough keeping him
off the floor. And Kobe Braa fits that mold as well.
We'll be watching guys like Amuri Williams, Jackson Robinson, Andrew
Carr as they continue to try to fight for roster spots.
(21:41):
But also over the weekend, Shannon, I don't know if
you saw this. We're getting ready for the TVT On Friday,
the TBT had a Champion's charity a game on Saturday
at the I guess Darius Miller bought the new Sporting
Complex over there by the Kentucky Brandon Mall and they
had a little event there. But it was a non
Kentucky alumni, DJ Burns that stole the headlines. He scored
fifty points in the game.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Shannon, Wow, Wow, DJ Burns.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Of all people, who is DJ Burns and why is
he scoring fifty points in our alumni champions game.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
It's pretty amazing though, right it is.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
But like you know, it was they welcome back a
lot of people that aren't playing in the TVT tournament,
like Alex Poythraus was there. I already mentioned Darius Miller,
it was, you know, Khalil Whitney was talking to the
fans even though he is playing in the TVT. But
I don't know, I don't know what he's doing out there.
Scoring fifty with our guys doesn't make sense to me.
We'll take a break and be back you're the care jes, sir,
(22:36):
welcome back. It is the ksrpre show on a Monday.
We'll hand it off to Ryan and Drew at ten am.
Until then, you've got us Billy and the dude, Corey Price.
Our friend texted in and said this TV show that
I was on his name Blue Bloods Shannon. The episode
was called The New You. It aired May seventh, twenty
twenty one, and five point eight million people watched it
(22:57):
when it originally aired. That seems like a good number.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
That's a good number. Not quite as good as Wrestlers
or Queen of the Ring, which I believe got ten
point two million.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Queen of the Ring and your holding back there?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Have you seen that yet?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
No? No, where's it at? I mean I have a
media box, so I'm sure I can find.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
It's all there. Yeah, just go just go on where
movies are and it's right there. Queen.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
All right, I'm making that my homework this week to
watch a little Queen of the Ring, Shannon. We have
the home Run Derby tonight. The MLB All Star Game
is in Atlanta tomorrow night, but tonight we have the
home run Derby. A cast of characters like Cal Raley.
Who that was the guy that had the big button nickname, right, Yeah,
the big Dumper they call the Big Dumper. He's on
(23:39):
page though with Barry Bonds to set that home run record.
You know, we talked about that several weeks ago, and
I think he is either I think maybe one home
run behind Barry Bond's pace. But my point is, I mean,
this is a guy that I don't feel like is
being talked about enough and is very much in the
running to break the all time home run record in
a single season. Well look, I mean, this is gonna
be my moment to get a good look at the
(24:00):
Big Dumper, Shannon. I haven't watched a lot of Seattle
Mariners game, but I do like a big dumper, and
Cal is gonna fit that for me tonight. And you
can bet on the home run derby on draft.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
On Draft Kings and right now they've actually got a
boost going on with a fifty percent fifty percent boost
if you want to do that on Draft Kings, and
of course if you're a new customer, you can sign
up with promo code ks. Are you bet five dollars,
you get one hundred and fifty in bonus bets and
Home run Derby. I always try to bet on it
when I can. I guess the last two years I've
done it, right, How long is I've trying to remember
(24:30):
how long has gambling been legal in Kentucky? Has it
been over a year?
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Right?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
So I guess win too. So I guess last year
was the first year I felt like I've done this before.
But I guess last year was the first year that
I bet on the home run Derby. But anyway, do
it with DraftKings promo code KSR bet five, get one
hundred and fifty in bonus bets and uh same game parlays,
live betting player props. You can do that with the

Slash audio Billy, I've got the clip of Vanna White
on the price is Right and Bob Walker calling her out.
If you want to hear guys, Yeah, let's hear it.
Here we go, five hundred and seventy seventy five. All right,
(25:20):
Vena the bets again. Ask you know, you're so busy
looking at yourself on the monitor, you don't know what's
going on.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Six fifty six eighty five seventy five? What are you man?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
There? You go?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Six?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Oh? I think what had happened there? Everybody kept overbidding,
and he was getting frustrated. Everybody kept outting what was it?
Every person's bid? Why don't you pay attention?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I love Bob giving it back to her a little bit.
He's he's got a show to run. You need to
pay attention. Some bad bids back in the day, though,
Like people are on with the program now betting one
dollar or you know, I guess one dollar over another person's.
But back then they didn't know what they were doing.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Now I'll see some people like saying, oh, I feel
bad for Vanna if Bob was being mean too. I
don't feel bad for Vanna at all, because she ended
up having the easiest job Kushberg assisted in the world.
She's still getting paid millions upon millions of dollars to
go up. And she doesn't even have to turn the
letters anymore. She just goes up and touches a screen.
It's all touch screen. You know. Back then, at least
you had to have a little risk action. You had
(26:21):
to actually physically push the letter to turn it around.
Now she just goes up to go there. You go. Oh,
you get like how many millions of dollars per letter
that you touch on a screen?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Listen, I understand, Vanna. It's not easy. Looking this good.
It's a it's a full time job. That's right before
we get to the phones. I I you know, SEC
media days are today. Greg Sanki is one of the people.
I guess he's kicking it off today. And I just
saw a quote that said SEC's Greg Sanki said SEC
is supportive of expanding men's and women's NCAA basketball tournament.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, this guy, I think that's a horrible idea.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
This guy is just this crusade because Texas A and
M was somebody that had a good SEC tournament a
few years back, and they deserve to be in the
NCAA tournament. Shannon. When you expand the tournament, it rewards
fifth and sixth place Power Forward Conference teams. It doesn't
put more men majors in the game. Obviously it brings
more revenue. But you know, Greg Sayki's done a lot
(27:13):
of good for the SEC. This is just one issue
he will not get off.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah, Texas A and M had a great run in
the SEC tournament, So what that's why you play an
entire regular season. If you don't count what happened earlier
in the regular season, the why play the games to
begin with? So I mean, yeah, you went on a
great run in the SEC tournament, but you didn't do
anything worth getting you into the tournament in the regular season.
So it's a little too late at that point. You know,
they could have won the tournament and got in. So
(27:39):
I'm with you man. Expanding the tournament I think is
a bad idea. I think it's inevitable because they keep
pushing and pushing and pushing, and eventually these things are
going to go through because the almighty dollar, right, we
can make even more money if we do more games.
But is anybody going to care at the end of
the day. And when you allow all these teams in,
what does it even mean? Oh, I have a coach
(28:01):
over here who's made it to twenty straight NCAA tournaments. Yeah,
but they let in one hundred teams.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Now, Yeah, you're devaluing the regular seasonactly. And I don't
want to feel like a gatekeeper here, Like I'm not
here to say sixty eight's the perfect number, because I
obviously even preferred sixty four. But you know, there can
be such a thing as too much of a good thing, yep.
And I just hate to see maybe the best thing
in sports, the NCAA tournament, get saturated with teams that
(28:25):
don't deserve to be there. But you do you, Greg.
Let's go to the phones. Eight five nine two two
eight seven. Tristan is on the line. What's up, Tristan,
Good morning, gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
I've got a short anecdote and a request for you.
So there's a guy who I'm in a group with.
He's who genuinely serves as the chaplain for this group.
And my guy, he says the word Father about thirty
five times every time he does a prayer. Thirty five
to forty we count, and there is now an over
under betting system based on that. So's you know, heavenly
fathered this? And oh father this and follow that. So
(28:59):
you know, we're all and up there counting. Uh. And
so we have this fun game we're playing over under
on how many times he says the word father in
a prayer. Now, my related request is that, Billy, every
time you record the Interrupted with Matt Jones podcast, please,
for the love of God, do not turn off the
email notifications books. I'm going to start doing the same
thing for your podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
You can keep it, I'll keep it off.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I think the last one, Billy, Yeah, I haven't heard
these are is like an email notifications going.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Well, you know, we had to use two Yeah, it
was so tristan, a little behind baseball here. We had
to use two computers in the studio here in Lexington,
so you got double notifications and they were software updates.
So I've got to update some softwares this week to
make sure that doesn't happen again, Shannon. But yeah, uh
it was. It was clearly over the podcast several times.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
You're telling me Matt does Clearly Matt doesn't hear this,
or he would be losing his mind, right, there's no way.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, I think he heard it, and I was like, yeah,
don't worry about it. It wasn't on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Is he a lie to them? Okay?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
But wasn't a lie? I was just like, no, Yeah, well,
you know, it's it's part of the charm. Thank you, Tristan.
You know, like when you listen to the CaSR aprecio,
you can count how many times I say Shannon's name,
And there was, you know, back in the day people
taking side bets on that as well. I think I've
gotten a little better at that, but I bet you
I probably get close to twenty.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah, you say my name quite a bit. That's okay though,
you know it's good. It's my crutch just in case anything.
And it's who, you know, who you're on the show with.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
You know, people are just turning on the radio. Maybe
they didn't catch the full show, but.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
They heard the other nine hundred and fifty shows we've
done in the past.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah, they haven't heard one. They have no idea who
I'm talking about for our new you know, you know
people do ums or us. Sure, everybody does, and you
do it without even realizing it. It's hard correct because
when I'm talking sometimes I'll do you know, or we
all have them.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
It's just it's natural. And again this is not scripted.
So if it were scripted, we would have none of
that because we would just be reading from a piece
of paper. We don't have tele prompters. This is just
an open mic and you say what you say.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Yeah, no matter how stupid it is, it still goes
over the air's at Shannon doesn't catch it with a
dump button. I mean, people are just gonna just gonna
get to know you one word at a time.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
That's why live radio is the greatest form of media.
You never know what's going to happen. It's unpredictable, it's
not scripted. We don't get to go back and cut
it out of the podcast if we want. I mean,
I guess we could, but I'm talking about this version
right now as you and I are talking, that's going
out on the airways throughout the state and all over
the iHeartRadio app. You know, we could go back and
cut something out later on for the podcast, but right
(31:29):
now as we say it, you're hearing.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
It, and I'm sure there's a charm to that, right
being authentic and natural and being yourself, And that's why
many people love KSRS because we are ourselves. Donut contests
or email chimes and all. But Tristan is our guy
that does tarot card reading. So Tristan call back when
Mario is back in the studio because again we got
to get Mario on the tarot card stuff, Shannon. Today
(31:54):
is the last day of the Running of the Bulls
festival in Spain. Four thousand runners go on each run.
They run about nine hundred and twenty five yards with
bulls chasing them, and it's about a two to four
minute run. Could you ever see yourself being in the
running of the bulls? No?
Speaker 2 (32:11):
No, why would I want to? Like, dude, I don't
need I don't need that big I don't need that
big of an adrenaline rush to go out there and
possibly get gored by a bull. I don't think the
trade off would be worth it for me.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
And it happens every every race. I mean, that is
just a risk that you run by doing the running
of the bulls. Now, you know, expand that to these
bullfighters or matadors that hold the cape in front of
the bulls. Have you ever seen people do like a
poker game in an arena with a bull and the
last guy sitting down wins. It's like you that's you
are getting asked to get gorged in that game. There's
(32:45):
there's popular rodeo games where people sit in I guess
the the the arena and then wait for the bull
to come hit. You talk about the dumbest game of
all time. Shit right, I mean you're just asking for
a horn to go into your eye.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I don't know why anybody does that. I really don't.
And I guess maybe it's the adrenaline junkies out there
that fill the need of risking their life to go.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Out her cash brize out there. I mean, I can
get shanned the dude out in a ring for a
price tag.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Not for that. No, that's one of those things I
can talk about great jobs, Van of White, That's my
type of job, going out there and you know, competing
with bulls for the chance to win money. Not going
to do that. Also, not going to do this other
thing that I saw. You know, in Florida, it's python season,
so they're giving away I guess the state of Florida
is giving away ten thousand dollars to whoever goes out
(33:35):
and gets the most pythons from the Everglades. And that
I don't care how much money you paid me. I'm
not going to go out there and do that job,
no way.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
But they can't use tools, right, It's not like you
can use a gun. You got to use either your
bare hands or one of these polls, the ones that
they catch stray animals with.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
I mean there's this guy, there's this guy on there's
this guy on TikTok that goes out and does it
just for fun.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
What does he do? He just finds pythons.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Yeah, he goes out, he catches pythons, he drags him
out of the water. I'm going to this guy. I mean,
it's not going to end well for you.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Man.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Like you're doing good now, but one of these days,
it only takes one one wrong move and your lunch. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
I'm not messing with snakes. I'm not Indiana Jones over here,
but that you know, I'm not dragging them out of
their home and slapping them around. So bulls, snakes, we
will avoid all of those. I got a little fair
or foul for you, Shannon. Something that is always an
issue when it comes to Fourth of July time are
illegal fireworks. But the town of Riverside, California, has taken
(34:33):
it in a different direction. The police have issued over
sixty citations for illegal fireworks over the last few days,
but they did it by using drones. On July fourth,
they had five drones out in the skies patrolling the
skies to spot violators setting off illegal fireworks. They reviews
the drone footage and without telling the people, like you
(34:55):
just went through the bridge and you're getting a ticket
for the pass right the toll bridge, they just send
it in the mail one hundred and fifty dollars violation
for using illegal fireworks. You are being monitored by drones
now in the city of Riverside, California.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
I didn't know that was even a thing. I still
heard some fireworks going off around my neighborhood this past weekend.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Can we find these people? Yeah, exact, that's worse than
illegal fireworks on the fourth of July is fireworks two
weeks after Fourth of July.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
You know, you get your fireworks. I think you get
it that weekend, that's fine, But the weekend after the
fourth of July, I mean you should be done with
it at that point.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Well, that's when I think, like it really impacts people
that have PTSD and pets. There's something to be said
about putting off fireworks the day of or the weekend of,
but really, like we don't need to be extending it
out a week. There were a couple small brush fires
that were started by these illegal fireworks, and maybe why
California has taken such a stance on it. But Shannon,
(35:55):
all I heard were drones patrolling the skies. And if
drones are going to be delivering our grocery, he's ten
twenty years from now, you better believe drones are going
to be policing us. Oh yeah, in ten twenty.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Years if you're watching every movie you make, Oh yeah,
And that's kind of scary, isn't it. Yeah? Because now,
I mean you go out in your backyard and there's
no privacy because there could be a drone right there
just looking at you.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
And there's already cameras everywhere. We've talked about you can't
get away with anything nowadays because you can be tracked
on your phone or by the cameras that are everywhere.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
But just the the helicopter drone watching you, that's that is,
you know, brave New World desk is it's not about
like getting away. I mean, there's nothing I'm trying to
get away with. But my point is just the lack
of privacy. And if you go out in your backyard,
you're sitting on your deck and join a cup of coffee,
there shouldn't be a drone in your backyard looking at you.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
And Matt's talked about that that you know, we will
look back the amount of privacy we have given away. Yeah,
you know, agreeing to every time we go into a website,
agreeing to the cookies Shannon, or the stuff that we
share on social media. I think we will look back
and think that's one of the bigger regrets that at
least my generation has had with social media. A five
nine two oho two two eight seven Texas five o
(37:02):
two two sixty five six six five six. I have
a basketball question to pose to Shannon the Dude in
our final segment, and we'll wrap things up before we
hand things off to KSR on the KSR pre Show. Here,
welcome back. It's our final segment here on the KSR
pre Show, Billy and the Dude. We'll hand it off
to Ryan and Drew here in just a second. I've
got a basketball question for Shannon, but before we get
(37:24):
to that, i'd be remissed if we did not mention
some of the terrible situations that have happened in our
commonwealth over the weekend, including the shooting in Lexington when
a man shot a state trooper near the Lexington Airport
and then killed two people at the Richmond Road Baptist
Church before he was dealt with an unfortunate situation that's
become national news over the last couple of days, and
at a church on a Sunday, Shannon, There's there's nothing
(37:48):
right about that, and we just wanted to say our
thoughts and prayers are with people that are infected by
that senseless strategy.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
It's a crazy situation.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
And then also there was some panic in Louisville when
forty thousand people were evacuated from the Expo Center due
to a false shooting report. Not only that, but while
it was doing a women's basketball event. And then there
was another report at the Kentucky Kingdom right there that
caused some panic. Luckily, everybody was okay in that situation,
but Shannon, get me in a crowd and then people
are panicked like that running. It's not an easy situation,
(38:19):
and I'm sure a lot of people were impacted by
that as well on Sunday. Yeah, you just never know
when you go out, so you don't so be careful
no matter where you go and keep your head on
a swivel. But obviously the unfortunate situation in Lexington will
be something that's talked about for a long time. Shannon.
One basketball question that I had for you over the weekend,
Andreas Jellovich appeared on the UK basketball roster, at least
(38:42):
in the system. He doesn't have a photo, but he
is on the UK basketball roster online, and I'm hoping
this is better situation than Big Z, right, maybe a
better situation than Ninas kantor. I don't know what it
is about foreign players coming to Kentucky. It always seems
like it's a little bit of work. I'm not saying that,
you know, this is a warning sign that anything's gone wrong,
(39:03):
that he's not with the team yet, But Shannon, it
is always a little different getting a guy from overseas,
isn't it.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Yeah, we found that out just getting Big Z here
and then getting him eligible, so eligible in the middle
of the season, right, and how that even happened, I
still have no idea how that miraculously just happened midway
through the season, but yeah, hopefully we're not going to
have another replay of that.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Yeah, and I think this is probably more of a
visa situation than it is the school. You remember the
school was it recently saying you know, you don't have
the right credits or if you don't have this jen ed,
you can't get in. Listen, this is Kentucky basketball. We
find a way to get people in, right. But this
is a guy with really high expectations. How much of
a role do you think Yellovich plays on this team
without even having him on campus yet?
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Well, probably not much. I mean, you look at big
Z once he finally did come, Man, he looked like
the greatest player of ever, of all time against was
it Georgia that he debuted again? It was?
Speaker 1 (40:00):
But remember he couldn't stay on the court, right He
kept getting sick. Remember adjusting to the cuisine was a
tough thing for him.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Yeah, you know, I just would guess that he's probably
going to get some playing time, but again, don't even
know if it, like, is it going to be eligible,
is gonna be ready to go by the time the
season starts. So I would put a whole lot of
stock into his name, right now.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Yeah, right now. You know it may be an instance
that early on in the year that Malachai Moreno and
Brandon Garrison get more run and then at the end
of the year, Jaden Quaintin's and Yellovich are the guys
that maybe get a ton more time. But you know
that's the advantage of depth, right you have the luxury
of being able to have some time to figure out
your rotation. But there's some high expectations for this Yellowvitch guy.
(40:41):
I mean, they're talking about him as a great NBA
draft pop prospect from overseas. So I still think that's
a guy that's going to make a big impact now
when he gets to campus. Who knows. But this week
we'll be talking a lot about that and the TBT
and not only that, but you can bet on baseball
on Draftking.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Shit, that's right. Nothing says summer like long days, clutch
plays and firing off a few bets on the game,
all with DraftKings Sports Book. If you've never bet on
baseball before, it's easy. You can pick a guy to
go yard. You can do the home run derby tonight
if you want to ham or some live odds mids
game or just rob with your squad and hope for
the best. It's all there for you. On the Draft
Kings sports book, new customers sun up with promo code
KSR bet five get one hundred and fifty en bonus bets.
(41:18):
The Crown is yours only on DraftKings.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Had one person said that the hoa's would love those
drones watching the fireworks and tracking to see if your
dog posts, and you know what, you pick up the poop.
You know they do that in places. They find you
a lot of money if you don't pick up that poop.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
And yeah, but I always wonder like who exactly is
watching now? I guess we know you got those drones
flying over.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
The drones and the poor soul that has to go
through the drone footage to see if you're picking up
