Speaker 2 (00:19):
You could be a part of the show that way.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
The KSR pre Show is brought to.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
You by Italics Fine Italian Dining right here in Lexington
at the City Center on Main Street.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Shannon the Dude is in Louisville.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
We were just swapping info about our vacation days that
we have left.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Shannon.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
We got a few to take.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
But it does definitely feel like vacation time for a
lot of people because it's going to be a hot
one today, one of those days you get the water
balloons out, maybe the super soaker, everything you gotta do
to stay cool when you're outside today.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
What's up, dude, how are you?
Speaker 4 (00:47):
I'm doing good. Yeah, it is going to be hot
today and tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Tomorrow night we've got the The Outdoor Show with Autlos
Blue Gown in Mount Washington and I'm going, man, it
is going to be so.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Hot out there.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
But you know what, I'm not going to go up
there and wear shorts. I Am not one of these performers.
I don't care if it's one hundred and twenty degrees.
I'm not going to go up there and wear shorts.
To me, if you're going to play in a band,
you need you need to look the part. You know,
you need to look like you belong up there. So
I'm not going to go up there and put on
some basketball shorts and play a show to a big crowd.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
But probably not like a scarf performance, right Like, we'll
probably leave that in.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Probably the scarf and the jacket at home. But you know,
under no circumstances, I'm not going to be performing in shorts.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
No matter how fight or is do you think, Fedora,
though it.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Depends on if I'm filling it or not, just depends well,
it's usually a game time decision.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I think one of the stupidest rules in all of
sports is that PGA professionals playing golf have to wear
pants when they compete.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Shant it?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I mean, these guys are playing in a hundred degree
heat sometimes and it's all about okay, So then what
about baseball players? You think baseball players should be able
to go out there and wear shorts because it's hot.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
It's all about looking the part.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
It's all about being in uniform for sports, and I
think you know, if you're a performer, you need to
look like a former.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Well, the baseball one makes more sense than the golfers.
I mean, at least you're sliding and it is part
of the old get up, but I mean summer sliding.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
You watch that Yankees player from it was trying to
tag up on a cunya.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
He wasn't gonna slide for nothing, and he got thrown out.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
How committed are you? But no, that just seems dumb.
They have to wear pants, but pants. I just it's funny.
The baseball managers are wearing the pants too. They're the
only one that in the sport actually wear the uniform
that's actually going on. Can you imagine like John Caliperi
or Pope like in basketball shorts.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I want I.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Want Mark Stoops out there in full gear, full pads,
pads too. Yeah, I mean, if you're gonna if you're
gonna be dress in the uniform, you gotta have the
helmet on.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
We've already seen Mark Pope.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
I mean, he has no problem putting on the Kentucky jersey,
as he did when he was at BYU to do
that hype video he had that you know, he ripped
off his shirt and underneath the UK jersey. So uh,
you know, we've had this conversation before, like which SEC
coaches would look the worst, were like the basketball jersey,
like if they if they had to wear like the.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Uniform of the team that they coach.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Yeah, I mean, could you imagine like some of these
guys like Bruce Pearl, I mean he looks if Bruce
Pearl looks pretty good with the shirt off.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I mean we've seen him with the shirt off. He doesn't.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
He's not that bad out of shape. But some of
these guys that are, you know, not exactly in the
best of shape. Could you imagine them wearing a really
tight like basketball jersey, no shirt underneath, just to no, no, yeah,
you don't get the shirt underneath.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I don't even want to put that mental image in
my head. But you know these baseball.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Barns, Rick Barnes, Rick Tennessee, you got that Vigel in
your head now, don't you stop. You see Rick Barnes
right now coaching with his nipples hanging out of his
h Tennessee jersey.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
He even came out in the warm up checkerboard pants
that Tennessee will wear, or the kind of akin to
the Indiana candy stripe ones that they have Mike Woodson
coming out.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Is he still coach in Indiana?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I don't know if he is anymore, but that would
be another good one outside of the SEC. But join
us today nine two A two two eight seven. Join
us tomorrow at Kentucky Customs and Uplifting. That is a Nicholasville,
Kentucky at one nineteen Howard Street. We'll have a remote
there tomorrow. That is across the street from Toyota on Nicholasville.
HOPEFU you'll be able to hang out with us then, Shannon,
(04:15):
I missed you. Yesterday went to the soft opening of
Country Boy Brewing's new location here in Lexington at two
two three Owen Street. It is Country Boy Brewing at PKL,
which is like this Pickleball League court. I don't know,
are you familiar with this because I.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Am, because Drew and I are actually going to be there.
I don't know if we get an actual date settled
on that yet or not. We've been trying to pick
out a date. I'll have to get back to you
on that. But Drew and I coming up soon. We'll
be there at the Country Boy Brewing location. We'll be
playing pickleball against some of the listeners. Oh, so of
in afternoon remote with Drew and I playing against some
(04:53):
of the listeners in.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Pickleball, taking on all challengers at the pickleball court. So
you have really embraced this game.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Just the the twenty seventh looks like here August the
twenty seventh.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
You already got a date for it too. I guess
this really is happening.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Yep to seventh at the new Country Boy Brewing in Lexington.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
So that, Oh, it was great that PKL place opens
today for the first time, I believe, and so we
got kind of a you know, friends and family first look,
and it was awesome. I felt like I was a
little bit at Wimbledon shin just how nice the courts
were and kind of the shrubbery around each court. I mean,
a lot of people enjoying it. They had some really
nice golf simulator rooms. Me and Drew took advantage of
(05:30):
that and played on Valha a little alternate shot. It was,
it's a really cool spot that country Boys at kind
of right before Midland Trail on Winchester Road, so it's
gonna be a good spot for us.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
So I feel like you're kind of burying the lead
here because last night, speaking of Drew, I got a
text message from Drew during a marathon Alice Bluegown rehearsal.
We were rehearsing for like two and als three hard
last night. We're going for like three hours straight getting
ready for these upcoming shows.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
But I get a text from Drew.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
And Drew and I don't text a whole lot outside
of you know, work related stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
We do sometimes, but not a whole lot.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
So when I see a text message coming in directly
from Drew, I know it's either something important or something
really really good. And his text message to me last
night was here's some show prep for you. You got
to ask Billy about getting out of the parking lot
at Country Boy Brewing in Lexington. And I saw a
(06:27):
picture and I feel like this picture needs a lot
of explaining that you got some splaining to do. Just
tell me what happened there because your car apparently got
stuck in the parking lot, and I'm trying to figure
out how you got your car in this particular situation.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Okay, yeah, well, thank you Drew for sending that text.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
What were you really going to tell the story of
what happened last night with just glossing over that?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Were you?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I mean I didn't know what happened later that I know.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Look, hey, big brother's watching you, all right.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
I know everything you're doing. I've got eyes ears on
the ground. I mean, we know what Billy our sports
is up to.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
It.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, I can't go anywhere without Shannon's spies, so I
neiguring things out.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
I need to know what happened with your car getting
stuck in the parking lot. It looks like it's I
don't want to like tell what happened because I don't know.
Why don't you just tell me what happened?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Well, I mean, if I have two weaknesses in life, Shannon,
one is picking the shortest line when it comes to
the grocery store, and the second is parking.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Uh, it's always been a weekness of mind.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
That's why I go to the P three and park
next to nobody here at iHeartMedia and the in the
parking garage because I don't want to hit anybody. Uh
But last night, Shannon, we were leaving country Boy and
it's an unfinished parking lot, right, this is all being built,
and so we're in a gravel lot. I back out
of my spot and I'm directly into the sun. So
you know, I mean, you know a lot of factors.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
The case of the sun was in my eyes code sun.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
The sun is right in my eyes. I'm in an
unfinished gravel lot. It's a little confusing on where you go.
So I back out of my spot and I start.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
To go forward.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Shannon, Well, we got a little there's a little bump
in the way, a little bit like, oh, well, you
know that mission must be a little.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Gravel Say it's a big gravel mound, is how I
would say it. Not a little bump.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I mean I thought at the time, you know, I
can't see what's in front of me. I don't see
that there is a huge mound. It just, you know,
kind of feels like a speed bump. And you know
what you do when you go to a speed bump, Shanning,
You just go right over that thing. So you know,
maybe I punched it and went right over that thing
and then lodged my car to a point where it
couldn't move, is may of what happened.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Yeah, I think that is what happened.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
And now let me just remind you, Billy, you don't
drive a Jeep wrangler like I do. Like if you
were in a Jeep, you would just go right over
that thing, like it is a little speed bump you drive,
is it?
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Is it a.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Challenger A Dodge charger, yeah, fourteen charger sorry charger, yeah,
rear wheel drive. So that doesn't help in the ice
or in the gravel in this instance, but then we
find ourselves stuck.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
So just to give everybody a we hit.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
The iceberg in the middle of the graund a lot yesterday.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Shana, just to give everybody a visual. And I have
uh did Marissa take this picture? Because I've retweeted it
at Oh yeah, yeah she did.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
She she uploaded that before the situation was even resolved,
so I appreciate her too.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
So on Twitter you can see this picture.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
But to give everybody a visual if you're not on Twitter,
it's basically Billy's car sitting on top of a mound
of gravel and you can see in the picture that
his front tire is what would you say, about six
inches off the ground and you are stuck. The middle
of your car is stuck on this mound of gravel
and you can't go anywhere. Like, are the back tires
(09:34):
also off? No back ties are on the ground. But
we're getting no traction. I mean we're just spinning in place.
I mean we're high off the ground that gravel mound.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I should have seen it, like this thing is like, uh,
I mean Mount Everest in the middle of this unfinished.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
Did you think you were Bolo or Luke Duke, I
mean like Dukes of Hazzard trying to jump something in
your car?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah, no, I got that comment where you I mean,
we're not jumping the Summrset fountain here or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
What were you doing?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
So? Oh, you know, there's a couple options you have now, right,
I mean, you could call a tow truck to try
to help you get out, or you can recruit some
of the biggest guys that you've seen at the Country
Boy Brewing to maybe come out and help you.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Or you could just leave it there in uber home.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
So We'll not leaving that in the middle of the lot.
Gets in the soft opening at Country Boy Brewing.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Could you not dig it out, like, you know, like
dig the gravel out from underneath?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Well, look, man, this thing was lodged on there pretty good.
Like I mean, if you haven't seen the photo, it's
pretty high up in the air. It's impressive. I actually
got it up there. So I go into the Uh.
I go back into the building, a little walk of shame,
back into Country Boy and go right up to Drew
and I'm like, we're gonna have to rally the troops here.
This is this is gonna have to be a full operation.
And Drew's like, I know exactly who to get. He
(10:43):
goes and finds Big Steve at Big Hazard Barbecue. He
takes care of all the barbecue cooking that they do
at the Country Boy locations. Big Steve rounds up about
six seven guys, Shannon. We all go out to the
parking lot like it's a whole thing, and they're able
to shove the car off the thing for me while
I'm going in.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Wow, the problem solved. Thank you thanks to Big Steve,
a Big Hazard Barbecue and all the people that helped
come out.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Look, not that I would ever find myself in this
particular situation, but if I did and had my car
stuck on a mound of gravel to where it couldn't
get off of it, I would want somebody named Big Steve.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
That's exactly right, Big Steve.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
I mean, it just sounds like he's a guy that's
gonna pick your car up and if it needs to
be moved in the parking lot, he will pick up
the front end and shift it over for you.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
No nonsense type of guy.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
You know, he's been cooking barbecue all day, exactly how
you might picture him. He couldn't have been nicer. And
he was like, you know, as long as I get
a shout out on the pre show the next day,
I'll definitely help you. And I so Big Steve, I mean,
of course, yeah, of course I'll give you a shout out.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
You Big Steve A lot I think I do it.
Did you tip Big Steve?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
No, I didn't have any tip money, Shannon, I didn't.
You know, I didn't have two dollars bills to hand
out like some might do. But I was very thankful.
I do appreciate you, know, Abby going out there and
being the documentary cruise. She's got a long form video.
I'm sure it'll be posted at some point, but it was.
It was a whole situation yesterday, Shane, and.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
I can't take you anywhere.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
I mean, you can't even go out for a couple
of beers without just embarrassing everybody.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Getting your car stuck in the parking lot.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
It was the sunshine and it was right in your eye.
The gravel blends in with the rest of the ground.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
I've seen anybody do that before.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
I mean, that's pretty impressive actually, that you get your
car stuck like that.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I mean it was what did you guys go see
on the road trip? It was like Devil's Tower or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
It was.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I mean, it was our own Devil's Tower here in
Kentucky in that unfinished gravel lot.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
I mean it was. It was a good sized mound,
but I mean it's not that big. I just love it. Again.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
This goes back to billy confidence. Billy confidence that you
had that you you could actually get over that mound
without getting stuck. Irrational confidence, like what made you think
that that could even happen? You didn't see it right,
that's what you're gonna say.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
No, it was just lack of awareness.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
It wasn't even like I sized it up and said, oh,
this charger's going over it, you know. It was like, oh,
this must be a little gravel that I can get over. No,
I mean, and then I mean, I'm not going to
point fingers here and say, why is there's this huge
gravel thing in the middle of this lot. I mean,
it was right in the middle of where cars are
trying to drive. But you know what, I'm not pointing fingers, Shannon.
I'm bigger than that.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Yeah. I think most people that drink Country Boy Brewing
have trucks. That's a man's beer. That's a real beer.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
You're telling me my Dodge charger and a manly car,
Shannon plays you and your ducks on your gee.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
So how many Shannon the dudes bruis did you have?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Oh well, let me let me tell you zero because
they had none at the location.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Oh wow.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
And I asked, you know, do you follow a complaint?
I mean, you didn't follow a formal complaint.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
No, But I was disappointed that was that was what
I asked for.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
I think the problem is it's it's been drunk. I
think that everybody is we've drunk them dry. That that's
what happened at the beer fest. I went to a
couple of weeks ago, like they had like the big
sized keg and it was it was gone before the
festival even ended.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
A lot of thirsty people out there.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Yeah, no shades of hazel nut for me last night,
but a really cool locasion. Thank you to Country Boy
Brewing for having us out. And you know, golf simulators,
pickleball courts. That's going to be a really cool spot
as long as they get those parking lots figure out.
I eight five nine two eight oh two two eight seven.
We'll talk about some things going on in the news today,
like memphisis embarrassing. Week Time magazine released the one hundred
(14:11):
best podcasts of all time, and you'll be surprised who
isn't on the list, and much more on the way.
It's Uh, Shannon and Billy here on a Thursday edition
of the ksrpre Show.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Welcome back. You could say I'm stuck with Shannon the
dude here. We're coming up on four years of the
kosrpre Show. It's hard to believe today's show being nine
hundred and forty three. One person on the text line
five O two two sixty five sixty six five six, Billy,
you may need to renew your license and retry the
eye exam. You're probably right about that, even though we
just had a great time at the glenn I Center
(14:44):
and Lexington lately. Also people sending me Titanic photo Shannon,
so this is this is my Titanic thing. No damage
to the car though, So, I mean that's good, no harm,
no foul when.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
You drive those cars.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
That's why I ended up getting a Jeep because you
don't have to worry about dragging the bottom of your car.
You know, some people you go in their driveway and
it has that dip, and if you drive a car
like yours, you're gonna scrape the bottom of your car
just going into a driveway.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
So I'm like, oh, low riders like sports cars.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I mean, you see a driveway that's a little bit
of an incline and you gotta you definitely gotta worry.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I'll just park on the street.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
One person says, you're in herself wants a jeep.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Jeeps.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Jeepers love to park on anything.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
In a parking lot, and you and STD conduct each
other through this great thing.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Not the ducks but the jeep man.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
You can just we were leaving a concert a couple
of nights ago, and you know we were saying, Okay,
this is the way you go in.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
You gotta go through this big long road, this trail.
I'm going.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
You know what, The road's right there, and I parked
in the grass. I could just go up that bank
right there and just go right onto the road. And
that's that's exactly how I left. Yep went right over
the sidewalk, boom, right onto the road.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, that charger ain't going anywhere near that ditch. I mean,
that thing is getting stuck just like yesterday oh two
two eight seven. If you could bet on that on DraftKings,
you might get some good odds. I mean, if for
that to happen again with how much of a bad
driver I am. But shan, if you want to bet
on baseball, you want to bet on any other professional sport,
you do it.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
On draft Caill.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Well, we know that Billy and his car is not
going over. He's not going to do the over here,
So you can bet the under on that DraftKings promo
code KSR. Sign up, use that promo code. You bet
five dollars and you get one hundred and fifty in
bonus bets. You can do live betting, same game parlays,
player props.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I mean really in.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Baseball, the possibilities feel like they're endless. You can do
like over under one and a half strikeouts in the
first inning. If you want to get that detailed, you
really can with the DraftKings sports book. Again, that's promo
code KSR. Bet five kit one hundred and fifty only

and sixty eight hours after issuance. Four additional terms were
responsible gaming resources see DKNG, dot co, slash audio.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It's possible in the near future you can bet on
a professional sports team in Kentucky on Draftkicks. We got
news that the UFLLL is looking to expand and the
four markets that they're looking to join is Boise, Idaho, Columbus, Ohio,
either Orlando or Tampa Bay Florida in either Louisville or Lexington, Kentucky.
We've been yearning for a professional sports team, Shannon. But
(17:14):
does the UFL tickle your fancy?
Speaker 4 (17:17):
No, not at all, I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Like I was telling yesterday, we had the arena football team,
the Louisville Fire for years and they were doing anything
they could just to get people to come in and
watch it. So I don't feel like Louisville would support it.
With Lexington, I don't know. I can't speak for Lexington,
but I would guess that, as I told Matt yesterday,
anything will be popular at first, right, it doesn't matter
what it is, it's going to be popular at first.
(17:41):
The question is how do you get the longevity out
of that? How do you make it sustainable to where
it's still a profitable team three four, five, six years
into its existence? And I feel like it would be
popular for the first couple of years and then people
were like, all right, been there, done that, whatever. It's
not that exciting and it would probably die a slow death,
(18:04):
much like the Loisville Fire football team.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Did hear well?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Does the UFL exist in five six years?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Like?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
That's my question, Like that.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
You know, I love football, and I am not somebody
to poo poo more football, But I don't like the
product of the UFL.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
You know, they I think they have bought the XFL,
so that doesn't even exist anymore. That is just called
the UFL. I mean, there's time and a place for it,
but it just I don't know. It just never has
gotten me excited. I do think this could be a
barometer of success for the city of Louisville if they
would ever want a.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Professional sports sports team in the future.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
But I just I don't think this is what is
what's going to get the city excited, you know. And
I think, like what you said is actually makes a
lot of sense. There will probably be excitement for year one,
but year two, year three, or four? Does the league
exist and do people still care about it?
Speaker 5 (18:53):
What a professional sports team work in Kentucky. I think
the answer is yes. But you say professional sports, I
don't think that professional football is going to be the
answer unless we're talking about the NFL. Now, the NFL,
I think we do fine here right because it's the NFL,
But we're talking about UFL.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
I mean, I look at that more like the minor leagues.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Basically, now, I think that an NBA team would succeed
in Kentucky. And the reason I think that is, look
at all of the former Kentucky players that are.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
In the NBA.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
I feel like if you put an NBA team in Louisville,
call them the Louisville Colonels or Kentucky Colonels or whatever
you want to call them, I feel like they would
draw a good crowd because even if the Kentucky NBA
team didn't have a whole lot of former Kentucky Wildcat players,
I think just about every night you would have, just
by numbers, you would have a former Cat coming into
(19:43):
play in Kentucky just about every night, just because there's
so many of them.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
And I think people would buy tickets just to see that.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, no question.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I mean, you get a former Cat or a card
on that team, and people would travel to watch it consistently.
The number one market when it comes to the NBA
Draft each is Louisville. So I mean that means people
are caring about even guys that aren't their own. I
don't know if an NFL team would even work here, Shannon,
there's a lot of fans that you know there are
kind of divided here. They may go to Nashville, they
(20:12):
may go to Cincinnati, they may go to Indianapolis.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Because they have to. If they had an option that
was right here in front of them, they wouldn't have to.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Do that, which happy don't.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
That's the reason.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
By the way, I don't think Kentucky would ever get
an NFL team because you got Cincinnati right here, and
you got you know, Nashville right here. Yeah, you're probably
not gonna PLoP an NFL team in Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
But but we know the NFL's king, right and probably
the most popular sport in the country.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
But I'm with you. I think basketball would work.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
It's just you know, I think Vegas and Seattle are
on that list of getting expansions in the NBA before Louisville.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
But you know, we'll see how that all shakes out.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
We know our guy Danissel has been trying for that
for a while and got that whole movement that goes
back twenty years.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Well, speaking of movements, do you think we'll ever see
KSR live streamed? Shannon, you guys talked a little bit
about that yesterday.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Yeah, I mean, I think at some point we will,
but I you know, I kind of understand why you
wouldn't want a live streaming.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
I think the stuff with Mario has been great.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
It's a good way to drive people who maybe don't
listen to the podcast to the podcast. It drives up
your podcast numbers that way, maybe even drives up your
your daily listeners because people that didn't know what existed
now are aware of it.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
It brings good brand awareness. You know.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
The thing about live streaming is, though, as cool as
it would be, what's the motivation to listen to the
radio If I can see what's going.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
On, I would rather go on YouTube to see the
guys faciure. So does that detriment you know, our ratings?
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (21:34):
I mean why would I listen on the iHeartRadio app
when I could go on YouTube and actually see what's
going on. I feel like, you know, the the iHeart
listeners would go way down, and you'd be driving everybody
to another third party website.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
And then your ad revenue goes down, right, And so
that's and that's something the company can't have mat said.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
You could sell advertisements on YouTube, but now you're giving
all your money to YouTube instead of your own company app.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
So I understand why we don't do it. I get it.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, it just seems like everybody is doing it now
and it is. You know, it brings in a much
bigger audience. We've seen Mario bring in a completely different
audience to the TikTok game.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
So, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I think if you gave me a prediction, like, would
you say over under two and a half years this
show is live streamed every day, I'll say over, yeah,
I'm going over to I don't know if we Yeah,
we're getting things in place in that amount of time,
but maybe it doesn't eventually happen.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Well, we'll take a.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Break, take some of your calls, and much more on
the way. Next here on the ksrpre show, Welcome Back.
It is the show before the show, the KSR pre
Show Billy and the Dude Little Assie to bring us back.
Were you playing Ozzie again yesterday or is that just
the one one day?
Speaker 4 (22:39):
We would not like NonStop Ozzie.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
But we are doing on QMF this weekend a it's
called No More Tears Ozzie Weekend. And what we're doing
is if you just want to listen on QMF anytime
between now and Sunday. You just get on there and
hit that talk back button, that microphone button while you're
listening to the station. Yeah, you can record your message.
You just tell us your favorite Ozzie memory or your
favorite Ozzy song, and you automatically get signed up to
(23:02):
win free tickets. Still louder than life? So how cool
is that?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Oh yeah, that's that's coming up right. I mean, louder
than life for eving me on. It's almost that time
and a couple of months away. By the way, how's
your lip, Shannon? I saw you The mic kind of
hit you in there, yeah, out there a second or
two ago.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
You Okay, this.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Radio job is dangerous.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
I you know, I like to talk with my hands,
and I was making a really good point about something.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
And I moved my hand.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Which then hit the microphone, which then hit my lip,
and I almost busted my lip on this microphone.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
But I'm good here. There's no blood. I'm not doing
a blade job. Uh, We're all good here.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
And I'm just telling you gotta be careful sometimes these
studios fight back.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Well, like a professional. I just moved on.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I didn't want to highlight it, but you know, you
were well, nobody could see it, but you're playing in
a little bit in the break, so I just wanted
to make sure.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You were okay.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Yeah, I had to get my medical team in here
to stitch my lip up.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Uh A five nine two two eight seven. If you'd
like to join the show. You know, life is all
about expectations. It's something that Shannon said times yeah on
this show. It's you know, a reason that Mark Stoops
is having issues with the Big Blue Nation in the
Kentucky fan base right now. I mean he's a victim
of his own success. He's risen the standard of Kentucky football,
and now he's it's going to be a lot harder
to get to that ten win mark every year or
(24:15):
even six or seven. You know, Mark Pope's expectations have
drastical league changed from year one to year two. Now,
while Kentucky is the standard in college basketball, it was
almost like, hey, Mark Pope's never won an NCAA tournament game.
He's coming from BYU. Let's see how year one goes
and then maybe we can rise. You know, the expectations
change a little bit in year two.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Right well.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Mark Pope spoke to the media earlier this week and
he was asked about expectations a little bit. I wanted
to play a clip from his press conference and mainly
his thoughts if Rick Patino had expectations for his team. Now,
you're gonna have expectations for every Kentucky basketball team. But
did Rick Patino have those same kind of expectations for
the nineteen ninety six team. I think you'll like Mark
Pope's answer here.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
No, he was different. He just told us that if
we didn't win every game, he was going.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
To kill us.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
And I never knew exactly what that meant. If it
was just going to kill us figuratively in practice or
actually kill us. It was probably some grouping of both.
But the expectation was exactly the same, and it's been
the same. Listen, the expectation here has nothing to do
with me setting it. It's what it is at Kentucky.
It's one of the things that sets us different, sets
(25:27):
us apart from every other program in the country. I
happen to love it. I love every bit of it.
I'm grateful. I'm so grateful to be here where the
expectation is only one ending to the season, is actually
makes it a satisfying season. I'm grateful to be in
this environment. It comes with everything that you guys all
(25:48):
know that it comes with. But that's where I want
to be and I'm grateful. That's where our guys want
to be and they feel it, and it comes with
all the complications you can imagine. But as an athlete,
those are the complications you want to sign up for.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
So I'll ring the bell for the word grateful.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I think we got four or five gratefuls in thereful
Mark Pope?
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Who is more grateful? Which Mark is more grateful? Mark
Pope or Mark Stoops?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
What a great problem to have, just you know, all
this gratefulness in the athletic department, it is but love that.
I mean, you can absolutely put yourself in the place
of Mark Pope back in nineteen ninety six and all
the running that you might have to do with Rick Patino,
there was no expectation like that he was just going
to kill you if you didn't win all your games.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Yeah, And I could see like being intimidated about Rick
Patino if he were your coach, can't you, Oh my gosh,
I mean, he just you know, not like Patino's a
really big, you know, physical looking guy or anything, but
does certain people have that, I don't know, like the
aura about him where they could be really intimidating. I
feel like Rick Patino, if you were, you know, coming
(26:53):
in as a college kid and Rick's your coach, I
could see that being, you know, really really intimidating to
play for a guy like that who is gonna run
you to death. You know that in practice, and if
you lose, you don't even want to know what's gonna
happen if you lose because of all the extra running
that you're gonna have to do to pay for for losing.
So interesting to say, yeah, we're gonna I'm gonna kill
(27:14):
you if you don't win.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
And that's why I'm just amazed that Patino is still coaching. Right,
We've seen so many of these old coaches leave the
game and and really talk about how much it's changed
and they couldn't coach the same way that they did. Well,
it feels like I'm sure Patino has changed the way
that he talks to guys. I'm sure he has to,
but you know, he's probably doing a lot of things
the same, right I love.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
That Pope's answer was we really didn't know what he
meant when he said he was gonna kill.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Us, like literally figuratively, Like.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
You know, you lose a game, then you go to
the next game and you realize your roster is one
man short, Like what happened?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Hey, Well that's the genius.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Maybe you just kind of keep them guessing, right, You're
just you know, vague enough, so they don't really know
what's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Why does coach up a shovel in his office?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Well, you know, am I wrong to say that you
should have a little bit of fear of your head coach?
Like I know I did.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Man, I was so scared of Scott Weigant at Bellerman, Like, I.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Think that's not doing What are you afraid of Scott?
Speaker 4 (28:15):
For Scott because he was he was a drill sergeant. Man.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Yeah, I'm telling you, Like, I think that's why we weren't.
I think everybody was so scared of our coach. We
were so tight and so tense that we went out there.
We were so afraid to make a mistake that we
screwed up and we lost games. And I look, I
don't believe that a coach can be your best friend.
I think there has to be some sort of middle ground.
But there's some coaches that are, you know, drill sergeant, yes, sir, no,
(28:41):
sir type guys, and there's some that are you try
to be a little too buddy, buddy. I think somewhere
in the middle there's gotta be a good level ground.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Now.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
I love Scott weegand by the way, uh he's a
great dude, but my gosh, as a from coach to
play a relationship, we were all terrified of them.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Well, I mean that gets you into shape, right, I mean,
they you're you're not gonna not follow his orders. But
I think you're right. I think it is probably somewhere
in the middle. I've had both. I've had drill sergeants
and I've had pushovers. Yeah, and the pushover is probably
likely to give you a participation trophy, right, and put
their son at the pitching spot and do all those
type of moves. And then the drill sergeant it's just
like you better not be late for.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Oh god, no, we were terrified as to what would
happen to us if we did. I mean it was
that type of thing. Well, we saw him get out
of the park, get out of the car, get out
of his truck in the parking lot.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
And he had that look on his face like, oh boy,
it's gonna be a long day hit practice.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
And look they set the tone in off season conditioning
right like that was at least for.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Me anything, Oh the conditioning, Maybe reconsider wanting to play baseball. Yeah,
but he's done a great job there at Bellerman as
the athletic director.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Now though, so do you think any of the Kentucky
players have a fear of Mark Pope on the roster
right now?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Do you think that's the relationship they have.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Pope's kind of hard to read because he comes off
as like, you know, a really nice guy, a little goofy,
but then you hear stories like what happened at halftime
of that game last season where he spoke a whiteboard
or something over or something crazy.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
You know.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
See, I don't really know, Like I feel like you
kind of have to be like that, you know what
I mean, Like you have to have you can't be
the nice You gotta have a fire.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Yeah, you got to have that.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
The ability to turn that switch on and be a
hard ass head coach.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
If you have to for lack of a better term.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Yeah, but well they all do it differently, right, I mean,
when you're picking your coach archetype in college football twenty six,
you can be a motivator, you could be a tactician,
or you can be a recruiter Shannon. So coaches are
going to do it different ways. But you have to
be able to install some discipline into your guys and
they have to be able to listen to you when
it matters. So I think that's probably been the biggest
(30:45):
problem with today's athletes, is that maybe you have coaches
that are afraid to maybe show that kind of discipline.
But when you get to higher levels like Kentucky basketball, yeah,
there's a lot more at play. But you better believe
Fatino was in that campus discipline.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
I'm sure he's still. I mean, what.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
About what about Cal? You think people were afraid of Cal?
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Probably, Yeah, I don't think he I don't think. It
doesn't feel like to me Caliperry was a guy that would.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Deal with a lot of nonsense.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, what did he.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
Tell Matt one time? He's like, you can have one
knucklehead on your team, but you can't have two, you know,
I think I remember something like that, something along those lines.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
It feels like if you don't do it my way,
it's the highway. With cal right, it.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Was university, he is the guy running the shows.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
But yeah, ultimately maybe that is is the motto for
a coach, is it is my way or the highway.
I'm the coach of this team, but you know, I'd
love to hear like Richie Farmer talked about Patino. He's
he's joined us on the pre show before, and he
talked about when he quit during an off season conditioning
camp and Patino had to send players to come back
get him to join the rejoin the team again. So,
(31:49):
I mean, I'm sure it's happened many at times. Eight five,
two two eight seven.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Let's talk.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Let's go from one basketball program to another, Shannon, if
we can and talk about the bad, bad week that
men Physis had. I don't know if you've seen what's
been going on at the University of Memphis. They tried
to join the Big Twelve this week. They offered the
Big Twelve two hundred and fifty million dollars to join
the conference and said they would forego their media rights
for five years if they could just join the Big twelve.
Said no, we don't want you, and then the basketball
(32:18):
and the softball programs were put on two year probations
and the athletic department was fined due to academic fraud.
Two softball players were completing coursework for a former Memphis
basketball player. The softball players were paid five hundred and
fifty dollars to do three assignments for the basketball player,
and then another softball player was paid one hundred and
(32:40):
fifty dollars to answer five tests and four quizzes.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
It's always those softball players getting the entire program in trouble, right,
the entire university, making everybody look bad. You know, this
whole thing just reeks of desperation from Memphis though asking
to join the Big twelve. It's like the little nerd
like in high school that wants to sit at the
cool group table, you know, during lunch at the cafeteria.
It's like, please, I'll do anything, Please let me hang
(33:06):
out with you guys, and they're like, no, we don't
want you sitting here.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Take your getting a little too close to home here, Shannon,
make your.
Speaker 5 (33:11):
Cold pizza and your French FROs or your chocolate milk
over to the other table with the other nerds. That's
basically what the Big twelve just told Memphis. They rejected
their offer to be in their conference.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah, what does Memphis bring to the Big twelve? Right?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
I mean they had a good football season maybe eight
years ago, Penny Hardaway, do you want that problem on
your hand? So I completely understand the Big Twelve shades
of North Carolina though with this academic fraud though, softball
players doing stuff for North softball players doing stuff for
basketball players. It's not sham classes. But I guess let's
(33:44):
not be naive and think that this isn't happening.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Also, so the softball players were taking the test for
the basketball players.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, have one one former Memphis basketball player. And now
the NCAA is demanding that all those games that they
played with ineligible players be vacated.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
Right because in the year twenty twenty five, all these athletes,
they're there for that education.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
That's right, That's what matters.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
That's the thing.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Man, We've already got the rid of amateurism. Can you
get rid of the term student athletes?
Speaker 5 (34:10):
Not there for the nil money, they're there for a
good wholesome education. So if we catch these athletes cheating,
we better shut everything down.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Oh the problem is, you know, you get a Memphis
basketball program that abuses that system, right. I mean, I
think of my classes at Western Kentucky. I had a
couple of sports management classes with some football players, Shannon,
let's just say. I mean they didn't have a notebook
and pen. You know, maybe they weren't awake for the class.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
How they still passed the King yet?
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Wow? Amazing, Yeah, they're able to pass.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
You know we sound or not naive is the word,
but you know we act like it's happening all over
the country.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Of course we know it is. It's been happening for years.
But sometimes you don't get caught. I guess that's the difference.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Yeah, yeah, and Memphis is the one that got caught
this week. You can always text us five h two
two six five six six five six. We'll read some
of your text in much more on the way coming
up next in our final segment of the ks I
Appreciate it. Welcome back KSR pre show final segment. Always
thinking of baseball when I hear this song Little John Fogerty.
(35:11):
You know we're coming up on Little League World Series time,
I believe Shannon before you know it.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Yeah, well, I can never think about the Little League
World Series ever again without thinking about Ryan running the
basis and the sprinklers being activated soaking them.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
He didn't go home, He just round and third and
it was.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
A solid triple left a triple.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Yeah, nothing wrong with hitting a triple.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Yeah. I guess he didn't call for time anything, so
I guess he could still be tagged out. I mentioned
Little League because a twelve year old Little League player
from New Jersey was suspended from playing in the state
final after flipping his bat after a home run.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
In the semi finals.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Oh please.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
He upsided the celebration as a safety concern. The league
actually wrote a letter to the family of the kid
saying that horse play is not allowed in Little League
and the bat flip was considered horse play.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
That is absolutely ridiculous. Come on, really, so he suspend
it because of that?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:05):
His dad argues that the Little League International openly promotes
bat flips on their social media sites, so you see
things like Major League Baseball bat flips all the time.
But this was a safety concern when this twelve year
old launched his bat into the air after the game.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Winning home run.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
No, good grief, what are we doing?
Speaker 1 (36:22):
I mean, like, are we gate keeping the state championship
for twelve year olds that decide to celebrate when they
have a good play.
Speaker 5 (36:27):
Isn't everybody wearing a helmet anyway? I mean the bat
comes down on the air and cunk you on the head.
You got a helmet, that's what it's for.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
I think that if you like javelin throw it up
in the air into the infield, maybe and it may
be an issue we can't Like.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
If I had a walk off home run and I
take the bat and just like throw it like it's
a bow, like a or like an arrow, you know,
like a bow and arrow, just yeah, launch it right
out the pitcher, then maybe yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
But horse play, I don't know. And that seemed like
seemed like they had to go into the rules.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
There.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Guys, we got a show going on here. If you
want to stop talking, thank you.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Yeah, there's our little eager right there. A five nine,
two eighth two to eight seven. I got one more
thing for you show. It's the Time magazine Top one
hundred best podcasts of all time, And you're gonna be
disappointed to hear that the pre.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Show did not make the list, really not even thinking
one oh two one, we're.
Speaker 5 (37:23):
Certainly in the top one hundred and ten. We're not
in the top one hundred. We got to be in
the top one ten.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Well, you might not think so highly of time after
you hear some of the podcasts that weren't included.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
KSR wasn't included. No Joe Rogan, wasn't it.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
Okay, Now I'm not a big Joe Rogan fan, but
I know his podcast is wildly.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Popular, eleven million viewers every episode.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
Okay, Well, if he's not in there, then.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Top one hundred best podcast of all time.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
We were top one thousand.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Then no part in my take.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Oh no Joe Rogan, Oh come on, no KSR, NOKSR
pre Show. Let me give you some of the names
of some of the top podcasts of all time. Showing
and Call Her Daddy made the list Her two Dope
Queens if you've ever listened to that one, and only
six sports podcasts made the list thirty for thirty. The
Bill Simmons podcast Men in Blazers, New Heights with Jason
(38:12):
and Travis Kelsey. Pablo Torre finds out in the tennis
podcast from the Athletic.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Well, you haven't changed my mind.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
I'm not going to be listening to any of these podcasts,
regardless of what ranking they have. I only listen like
a handful of podcasts, and usually they're like wrestling podcasts.
Those really are the only podcast I'll listen to.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Look, I'm fine with subjective list, but if you're missing
the Joe Rogan one who, whether you agree with him
or not.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
That gets that many viewers.
Speaker 5 (38:41):
This is somebody who put this together who doesn't agree
with Joe Rogan politically or whatever it is. He goes, well,
I'm not gonna put it on my list. Well, you
know what, who cares about your list? I'll create my
own list and it'll have just as much validity as
what that list has.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Or maybe somebody that looks down on Barstool Sports and
the antics that they have in the past, and they
don't include somebody like parton My Take, who is consistently
the number one sports podcast for almost a decade at
this point, and they put the tennis podcast from the Athletic.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
Who is listening to a tennis podcast?
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Like what is there? How about Tennis Breakdown for instance?
Speaker 5 (39:15):
You know like, we've talked about pickleball in the first segment,
and I've recently started playing pickleball.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
I think it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
But you know what, I'm not going to do go
home and listen to a pickleball podcast. I'm not I'm
sure they exist, but who wants to talk about pickleball
on a podcast? Not me? I mean, I guess here's
the crazy thing though, here's here's the rony. We are
on a podcast that we are mentioning pickleball, but we're
not breaking down pickleball, is my point. We're not breaking
it down like these people are.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
I don't know, man, this is just you know, summertime.
So we go through these lists, but like rock and
Roll Hall of Fame and you're trying to induct people
that don't do rock and roll, or we do top
one hundred podcasts, and we're clearly not putting in the
best podcast. Like what are we doing, Shannon? Like, can
we give any validity to these lists or the surveys.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
That we we know? Absolutely not.
Speaker 5 (40:02):
It's all one person's opinion or maybe a few people's opinion.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
Who you know what, Let's be honest.
Speaker 5 (40:07):
Just because they work for a certain company doesn't make
their opinion any more valid than yours.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
You know, yeah, that's right. I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
I should hold my tongue because I do a lot
of surveys and a new study showed that every friend
group has that one friend who always gets targeted? Shannon,
do you agree with that news.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
Always gets targeted? In what what do you mean? Gets targeted?
Speaker 1 (40:27):
A study found that most friend groups have one person
they regularly tease or target, often under the guise of joking.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
Oh well that's us. Yeah, I mean, that's completely you
with KSR. Right, you're not guy exactly exactly.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
You're the one guy who we always target.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Am I the one guy of the group?
Speaker 5 (40:45):
Yes, but you make it so easy, like you bring
this stuff on yourself, Like we didn't make you throw
up after two mimosas you did that yourself. We didn't
make you drive over a mound of gravel last night
get your car stuck.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
You did that to yourself.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Many online describe being the group's punching bag, highlighting how
relational aggression often singles out one friend.
Speaker 5 (41:04):
That's it, And you're calling yourself a friend too? Use
that term really lightly around here. So yeah, I think
you are definitely the guy that is that particular.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
I guess it's just human nature. Maybe I shouldn't take
it so personally. Tell me about Draftings.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
Yeah, promo code KSR. You know the deal.
Speaker 5 (41:19):
Buy now, bet five dollars, get one hundred and fifty
and bonus bets four new customers have got baseball games

this year. You can do it all with DraftKings sportsbook
promo code ks R.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
All right tomorrow live on location at Kentucky Customs and Uplifting,
one nineteen Howard Street in Nicholasville, Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
Why did you do that?
Speaker 2 (41:42):
And are we still on the ax?
Speaker 4 (41:43):
We are, yes. I don't know what happened there.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
That's all right, Shannon, You just get it out of
your system. That's wrure for the eight more shows you
got to do today, Shannon.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
The dude, the producer to get in there and fix
with us.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Please somebody help us for Shannon the Dude. I'm Billy Rutling.
This is the caseur pre show. We'll talk to you
tomorrow
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show.
Today is Thursday, July twenty fourth. I'm Billy Rutler along
with Shannon the Dude. You give us a call on
the Clark's Puppet Chop phone line. That's eight five nine
two eight oh two two eight seven Texas at five
oh two two six five sixty six five six.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
You could be a part of the show that way.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
The KSR pre Show is brought to.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
You by Italics Fine Italian Dining right here in Lexington
at the City Center on Main Street.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Shannon the Dude is in Louisville.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
We were just swapping info about our vacation days that
we have left.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Shannon.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
We got a few to take.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
But it does definitely feel like vacation time for a
lot of people because it's going to be a hot
one today, one of those days you get the water
balloons out, maybe the super soaker, everything you gotta do
to stay cool when you're outside today.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
What's up, dude, how are you?
Speaker 4 (00:47):
I'm doing good. Yeah, it is going to be hot
today and tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Tomorrow night we've got the The Outdoor Show with Autlos
Blue Gown in Mount Washington and I'm going, man, it
is going to be so.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Hot out there.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
But you know what, I'm not going to go up
there and wear shorts. I Am not one of these performers.
I don't care if it's one hundred and twenty degrees.
I'm not going to go up there and wear shorts.
To me, if you're going to play in a band,
you need you need to look the part. You know,
you need to look like you belong up there. So
I'm not going to go up there and put on
some basketball shorts and play a show to a big crowd.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
But probably not like a scarf performance, right Like, we'll
probably leave that in.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Probably the scarf and the jacket at home. But you know,
under no circumstances, I'm not going to be performing in shorts.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
No matter how fight or is do you think, Fedora,
though it.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Depends on if I'm filling it or not, just depends well,
it's usually a game time decision.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I think one of the stupidest rules in all of
sports is that PGA professionals playing golf have to wear
pants when they compete.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Shant it?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I mean, these guys are playing in a hundred degree
heat sometimes and it's all about okay, So then what
about baseball players? You think baseball players should be able
to go out there and wear shorts because it's hot.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
It's all about looking the part.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
It's all about being in uniform for sports, and I
think you know, if you're a performer, you need to
look like a former.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Well, the baseball one makes more sense than the golfers.
I mean, at least you're sliding and it is part
of the old get up, but I mean summer sliding.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
You watch that Yankees player from it was trying to
tag up on a cunya.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
He wasn't gonna slide for nothing, and he got thrown out.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
How committed are you? But no, that just seems dumb.
They have to wear pants, but pants. I just it's funny.
The baseball managers are wearing the pants too. They're the
only one that in the sport actually wear the uniform
that's actually going on. Can you imagine like John Caliperi
or Pope like in basketball shorts.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I want I.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Want Mark Stoops out there in full gear, full pads,
pads too. Yeah, I mean, if you're gonna if you're
gonna be dress in the uniform, you gotta have the
helmet on.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
We've already seen Mark Pope.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
I mean, he has no problem putting on the Kentucky jersey,
as he did when he was at BYU to do
that hype video he had that you know, he ripped
off his shirt and underneath the UK jersey. So uh,
you know, we've had this conversation before, like which SEC
coaches would look the worst, were like the basketball jersey,
like if they if they had to wear like the.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Uniform of the team that they coach.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Yeah, I mean, could you imagine like some of these
guys like Bruce Pearl, I mean he looks if Bruce
Pearl looks pretty good with the shirt off.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I mean we've seen him with the shirt off. He doesn't.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
He's not that bad out of shape. But some of
these guys that are, you know, not exactly in the
best of shape. Could you imagine them wearing a really
tight like basketball jersey, no shirt underneath, just to no, no, yeah,
you don't get the shirt underneath.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I don't even want to put that mental image in
my head. But you know these baseball.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Barns, Rick Barnes, Rick Tennessee, you got that Vigel in
your head now, don't you stop. You see Rick Barnes
right now coaching with his nipples hanging out of his
h Tennessee jersey.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
He even came out in the warm up checkerboard pants
that Tennessee will wear, or the kind of akin to
the Indiana candy stripe ones that they have Mike Woodson
coming out.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Is he still coach in Indiana?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I don't know if he is anymore, but that would
be another good one outside of the SEC. But join
us today nine two A two two eight seven. Join
us tomorrow at Kentucky Customs and Uplifting. That is a Nicholasville,
Kentucky at one nineteen Howard Street. We'll have a remote
there tomorrow. That is across the street from Toyota on Nicholasville.
HOPEFU you'll be able to hang out with us then, Shannon,
(04:15):
I missed you. Yesterday went to the soft opening of
Country Boy Brewing's new location here in Lexington at two
two three Owen Street. It is Country Boy Brewing at PKL,
which is like this Pickleball League court. I don't know,
are you familiar with this because I.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Am, because Drew and I are actually going to be there.
I don't know if we get an actual date settled
on that yet or not. We've been trying to pick
out a date. I'll have to get back to you
on that. But Drew and I coming up soon. We'll
be there at the Country Boy Brewing location. We'll be
playing pickleball against some of the listeners. Oh, so of
in afternoon remote with Drew and I playing against some
(04:53):
of the listeners in.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Pickleball, taking on all challengers at the pickleball court. So
you have really embraced this game.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Just the the twenty seventh looks like here August the
twenty seventh.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
You already got a date for it too. I guess
this really is happening.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Yep to seventh at the new Country Boy Brewing in Lexington.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
So that, Oh, it was great that PKL place opens
today for the first time, I believe, and so we
got kind of a you know, friends and family first look,
and it was awesome. I felt like I was a
little bit at Wimbledon shin just how nice the courts
were and kind of the shrubbery around each court. I mean,
a lot of people enjoying it. They had some really
nice golf simulator rooms. Me and Drew took advantage of
(05:30):
that and played on Valha a little alternate shot. It was,
it's a really cool spot that country Boys at kind
of right before Midland Trail on Winchester Road, so it's
gonna be a good spot for us.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
So I feel like you're kind of burying the lead
here because last night, speaking of Drew, I got a
text message from Drew during a marathon Alice Bluegown rehearsal.
We were rehearsing for like two and als three hard
last night. We're going for like three hours straight getting
ready for these upcoming shows.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
But I get a text from Drew.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
And Drew and I don't text a whole lot outside
of you know, work related stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
We do sometimes, but not a whole lot.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
So when I see a text message coming in directly
from Drew, I know it's either something important or something
really really good. And his text message to me last
night was here's some show prep for you. You got
to ask Billy about getting out of the parking lot
at Country Boy Brewing in Lexington. And I saw a
(06:27):
picture and I feel like this picture needs a lot
of explaining that you got some splaining to do. Just
tell me what happened there because your car apparently got
stuck in the parking lot, and I'm trying to figure
out how you got your car in this particular situation.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Okay, yeah, well, thank you Drew for sending that text.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
What were you really going to tell the story of
what happened last night with just glossing over that?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Were you?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I mean I didn't know what happened later that I know.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Look, hey, big brother's watching you, all right.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
I know everything you're doing. I've got eyes ears on
the ground. I mean, we know what Billy our sports
is up to.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
It.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, I can't go anywhere without Shannon's spies, so I
neiguring things out.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
I need to know what happened with your car getting
stuck in the parking lot. It looks like it's I
don't want to like tell what happened because I don't know.
Why don't you just tell me what happened?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Well, I mean, if I have two weaknesses in life, Shannon,
one is picking the shortest line when it comes to
the grocery store, and the second is parking.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Uh, it's always been a weekness of mind.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
That's why I go to the P three and park
next to nobody here at iHeartMedia and the in the
parking garage because I don't want to hit anybody. Uh
But last night, Shannon, we were leaving country Boy and
it's an unfinished parking lot, right, this is all being built,
and so we're in a gravel lot. I back out
of my spot and I'm directly into the sun. So
you know, I mean, you know a lot of factors.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
The case of the sun was in my eyes code sun.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
The sun is right in my eyes. I'm in an
unfinished gravel lot. It's a little confusing on where you go.
So I back out of my spot and I start.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
To go forward.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Shannon, Well, we got a little there's a little bump
in the way, a little bit like, oh, well, you
know that mission must be a little.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Gravel Say it's a big gravel mound, is how I
would say it. Not a little bump.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I mean I thought at the time, you know, I
can't see what's in front of me. I don't see
that there is a huge mound. It just, you know,
kind of feels like a speed bump. And you know
what you do when you go to a speed bump, Shanning,
You just go right over that thing. So you know,
maybe I punched it and went right over that thing
and then lodged my car to a point where it
couldn't move, is may of what happened.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Yeah, I think that is what happened.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
And now let me just remind you, Billy, you don't
drive a Jeep wrangler like I do. Like if you
were in a Jeep, you would just go right over
that thing, like it is a little speed bump you drive,
is it?
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Is it a.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Challenger A Dodge charger, yeah, fourteen charger sorry charger, yeah,
rear wheel drive. So that doesn't help in the ice
or in the gravel in this instance, but then we
find ourselves stuck.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
So just to give everybody a we hit.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
The iceberg in the middle of the graund a lot yesterday.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Shana, just to give everybody a visual. And I have
uh did Marissa take this picture? Because I've retweeted it
at Oh yeah, yeah she did.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
She she uploaded that before the situation was even resolved,
so I appreciate her too.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
So on Twitter you can see this picture.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
But to give everybody a visual if you're not on Twitter,
it's basically Billy's car sitting on top of a mound
of gravel and you can see in the picture that
his front tire is what would you say, about six
inches off the ground and you are stuck. The middle
of your car is stuck on this mound of gravel
and you can't go anywhere. Like, are the back tires
(09:34):
also off? No back ties are on the ground. But
we're getting no traction. I mean we're just spinning in place.
I mean we're high off the ground that gravel mound.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I should have seen it, like this thing is like, uh,
I mean Mount Everest in the middle of this unfinished.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
Did you think you were Bolo or Luke Duke, I
mean like Dukes of Hazzard trying to jump something in
your car?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah, no, I got that comment where you I mean,
we're not jumping the Summrset fountain here or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
What were you doing?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
So? Oh, you know, there's a couple options you have now, right,
I mean, you could call a tow truck to try
to help you get out, or you can recruit some
of the biggest guys that you've seen at the Country
Boy Brewing to maybe come out and help you.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Or you could just leave it there in uber home.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
So We'll not leaving that in the middle of the lot.
Gets in the soft opening at Country Boy Brewing.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Could you not dig it out, like, you know, like
dig the gravel out from underneath?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Well, look, man, this thing was lodged on there pretty good.
Like I mean, if you haven't seen the photo, it's
pretty high up in the air. It's impressive. I actually
got it up there. So I go into the Uh.
I go back into the building, a little walk of shame,
back into Country Boy and go right up to Drew
and I'm like, we're gonna have to rally the troops here.
This is this is gonna have to be a full operation.
And Drew's like, I know exactly who to get. He
(10:43):
goes and finds Big Steve at Big Hazard Barbecue. He
takes care of all the barbecue cooking that they do
at the Country Boy locations. Big Steve rounds up about
six seven guys, Shannon. We all go out to the
parking lot like it's a whole thing, and they're able
to shove the car off the thing for me while
I'm going in.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Wow, the problem solved. Thank you thanks to Big Steve,
a Big Hazard Barbecue and all the people that helped
come out.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Look, not that I would ever find myself in this
particular situation, but if I did and had my car
stuck on a mound of gravel to where it couldn't
get off of it, I would want somebody named Big Steve.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
That's exactly right, Big Steve.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
I mean, it just sounds like he's a guy that's
gonna pick your car up and if it needs to
be moved in the parking lot, he will pick up
the front end and shift it over for you.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
No nonsense type of guy.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
You know, he's been cooking barbecue all day, exactly how
you might picture him. He couldn't have been nicer. And
he was like, you know, as long as I get
a shout out on the pre show the next day,
I'll definitely help you. And I so Big Steve, I mean,
of course, yeah, of course I'll give you a shout out.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
You Big Steve A lot I think I do it.
Did you tip Big Steve?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
No, I didn't have any tip money, Shannon, I didn't.
You know, I didn't have two dollars bills to hand
out like some might do. But I was very thankful.
I do appreciate you, know, Abby going out there and
being the documentary cruise. She's got a long form video.
I'm sure it'll be posted at some point, but it was.
It was a whole situation yesterday, Shane, and.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
I can't take you anywhere.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
I mean, you can't even go out for a couple
of beers without just embarrassing everybody.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Getting your car stuck in the parking lot.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
It was the sunshine and it was right in your eye.
The gravel blends in with the rest of the ground.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
I've seen anybody do that before.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
I mean, that's pretty impressive actually, that you get your
car stuck like that.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I mean it was what did you guys go see
on the road trip? It was like Devil's Tower or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
It was.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I mean, it was our own Devil's Tower here in
Kentucky in that unfinished gravel lot.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
I mean it was. It was a good sized mound,
but I mean it's not that big. I just love it. Again.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
This goes back to billy confidence. Billy confidence that you
had that you you could actually get over that mound
without getting stuck. Irrational confidence, like what made you think
that that could even happen? You didn't see it right,
that's what you're gonna say.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
No, it was just lack of awareness.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
It wasn't even like I sized it up and said, oh,
this charger's going over it, you know. It was like, oh,
this must be a little gravel that I can get over. No,
I mean, and then I mean, I'm not going to
point fingers here and say, why is there's this huge
gravel thing in the middle of this lot. I mean,
it was right in the middle of where cars are
trying to drive. But you know what, I'm not pointing fingers, Shannon.
I'm bigger than that.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Yeah. I think most people that drink Country Boy Brewing
have trucks. That's a man's beer. That's a real beer.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
You're telling me my Dodge charger and a manly car,
Shannon plays you and your ducks on your gee.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
So how many Shannon the dudes bruis did you have?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Oh well, let me let me tell you zero because
they had none at the location.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Oh wow.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
And I asked, you know, do you follow a complaint?
I mean, you didn't follow a formal complaint.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
No, But I was disappointed that was that was what
I asked for.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
I think the problem is it's it's been drunk. I
think that everybody is we've drunk them dry. That that's
what happened at the beer fest. I went to a
couple of weeks ago, like they had like the big
sized keg and it was it was gone before the
festival even ended.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
A lot of thirsty people out there.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Yeah, no shades of hazel nut for me last night,
but a really cool locasion. Thank you to Country Boy
Brewing for having us out. And you know, golf simulators,
pickleball courts. That's going to be a really cool spot
as long as they get those parking lots figure out.
I eight five nine two eight oh two two eight seven.
We'll talk about some things going on in the news today,
like memphisis embarrassing. Week Time magazine released the one hundred
(14:11):
best podcasts of all time, and you'll be surprised who
isn't on the list, and much more on the way.
It's Uh, Shannon and Billy here on a Thursday edition
of the ksrpre Show.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Welcome back. You could say I'm stuck with Shannon the
dude here. We're coming up on four years of the
kosrpre Show. It's hard to believe today's show being nine
hundred and forty three. One person on the text line
five O two two sixty five sixty six five six, Billy,
you may need to renew your license and retry the
eye exam. You're probably right about that, even though we
just had a great time at the glenn I Center
(14:44):
and Lexington lately. Also people sending me Titanic photo Shannon,
so this is this is my Titanic thing. No damage
to the car though, So, I mean that's good, no harm,
no foul when.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
You drive those cars.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
That's why I ended up getting a Jeep because you
don't have to worry about dragging the bottom of your car.
You know, some people you go in their driveway and
it has that dip, and if you drive a car
like yours, you're gonna scrape the bottom of your car
just going into a driveway.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
So I'm like, oh, low riders like sports cars.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I mean, you see a driveway that's a little bit
of an incline and you gotta you definitely gotta worry.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I'll just park on the street.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
One person says, you're in herself wants a jeep.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Jeeps.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Jeepers love to park on anything.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
In a parking lot, and you and STD conduct each
other through this great thing.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Not the ducks but the jeep man.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
You can just we were leaving a concert a couple
of nights ago, and you know we were saying, Okay,
this is the way you go in.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
You gotta go through this big long road, this trail.
I'm going.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
You know what, The road's right there, and I parked
in the grass. I could just go up that bank
right there and just go right onto the road. And
that's that's exactly how I left. Yep went right over
the sidewalk, boom, right onto the road.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, that charger ain't going anywhere near that ditch. I mean,
that thing is getting stuck just like yesterday oh two
two eight seven. If you could bet on that on DraftKings,
you might get some good odds. I mean, if for
that to happen again with how much of a bad
driver I am. But shan, if you want to bet
on baseball, you want to bet on any other professional sport,
you do it.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
On draft Caill.
Speaker 5 (16:08):

Speaker 1 (16:52):
It's possible in the near future you can bet on
a professional sports team in Kentucky on Draftkicks. We got
news that the UFLLL is looking to expand and the
four markets that they're looking to join is Boise, Idaho, Columbus, Ohio,
either Orlando or Tampa Bay Florida in either Louisville or Lexington, Kentucky.
We've been yearning for a professional sports team, Shannon. But
(17:14):
does the UFL tickle your fancy?
Speaker 4 (17:17):
No, not at all, I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Like I was telling yesterday, we had the arena football team,
the Louisville Fire for years and they were doing anything
they could just to get people to come in and
watch it. So I don't feel like Louisville would support it.
With Lexington, I don't know. I can't speak for Lexington,
but I would guess that, as I told Matt yesterday,
anything will be popular at first, right, it doesn't matter
what it is, it's going to be popular at first.
(17:41):
The question is how do you get the longevity out
of that? How do you make it sustainable to where
it's still a profitable team three four, five, six years
into its existence? And I feel like it would be
popular for the first couple of years and then people
were like, all right, been there, done that, whatever. It's
not that exciting and it would probably die a slow death,
(18:04):
much like the Loisville Fire football team.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Did hear well?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Does the UFL exist in five six years?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Like?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
That's my question, Like that.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
You know, I love football, and I am not somebody
to poo poo more football, But I don't like the
product of the UFL.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
You know, they I think they have bought the XFL,
so that doesn't even exist anymore. That is just called
the UFL. I mean, there's time and a place for it,
but it just I don't know. It just never has
gotten me excited. I do think this could be a
barometer of success for the city of Louisville if they
would ever want a.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Professional sports sports team in the future.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
But I just I don't think this is what is
what's going to get the city excited, you know. And
I think, like what you said is actually makes a
lot of sense. There will probably be excitement for year one,
but year two, year three, or four? Does the league
exist and do people still care about it?
Speaker 5 (18:53):
What a professional sports team work in Kentucky. I think
the answer is yes. But you say professional sports, I
don't think that professional football is going to be the
answer unless we're talking about the NFL. Now, the NFL,
I think we do fine here right because it's the NFL,
But we're talking about UFL.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
I mean, I look at that more like the minor leagues.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Basically, now, I think that an NBA team would succeed
in Kentucky. And the reason I think that is, look
at all of the former Kentucky players that are.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
In the NBA.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
I feel like if you put an NBA team in Louisville,
call them the Louisville Colonels or Kentucky Colonels or whatever
you want to call them, I feel like they would
draw a good crowd because even if the Kentucky NBA
team didn't have a whole lot of former Kentucky Wildcat players,
I think just about every night you would have, just
by numbers, you would have a former Cat coming into
(19:43):
play in Kentucky just about every night, just because there's
so many of them.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
And I think people would buy tickets just to see that.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, no question.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I mean, you get a former Cat or a card
on that team, and people would travel to watch it consistently.
The number one market when it comes to the NBA
Draft each is Louisville. So I mean that means people
are caring about even guys that aren't their own. I
don't know if an NFL team would even work here, Shannon,
there's a lot of fans that you know there are
kind of divided here. They may go to Nashville, they
(20:12):
may go to Cincinnati, they may go to Indianapolis.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Because they have to. If they had an option that
was right here in front of them, they wouldn't have to.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Do that, which happy don't.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
That's the reason.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
By the way, I don't think Kentucky would ever get
an NFL team because you got Cincinnati right here, and
you got you know, Nashville right here. Yeah, you're probably
not gonna PLoP an NFL team in Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
But but we know the NFL's king, right and probably
the most popular sport in the country.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
But I'm with you. I think basketball would work.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
It's just you know, I think Vegas and Seattle are
on that list of getting expansions in the NBA before Louisville.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
But you know, we'll see how that all shakes out.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
We know our guy Danissel has been trying for that
for a while and got that whole movement that goes
back twenty years.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Well, speaking of movements, do you think we'll ever see
KSR live streamed? Shannon, you guys talked a little bit
about that yesterday.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Yeah, I mean, I think at some point we will,
but I you know, I kind of understand why you
wouldn't want a live streaming.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
I think the stuff with Mario has been great.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
It's a good way to drive people who maybe don't
listen to the podcast to the podcast. It drives up
your podcast numbers that way, maybe even drives up your
your daily listeners because people that didn't know what existed
now are aware of it.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
It brings good brand awareness. You know.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
The thing about live streaming is, though, as cool as
it would be, what's the motivation to listen to the
radio If I can see what's going.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
On, I would rather go on YouTube to see the
guys faciure. So does that detriment you know, our ratings?
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (21:34):
I mean why would I listen on the iHeartRadio app
when I could go on YouTube and actually see what's
going on. I feel like, you know, the the iHeart
listeners would go way down, and you'd be driving everybody
to another third party website.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
And then your ad revenue goes down, right, And so
that's and that's something the company can't have mat said.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
You could sell advertisements on YouTube, but now you're giving
all your money to YouTube instead of your own company app.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
So I understand why we don't do it. I get it.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, it just seems like everybody is doing it now
and it is. You know, it brings in a much
bigger audience. We've seen Mario bring in a completely different
audience to the TikTok game.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
So, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I think if you gave me a prediction, like, would
you say over under two and a half years this
show is live streamed every day, I'll say over, yeah,
I'm going over to I don't know if we Yeah,
we're getting things in place in that amount of time,
but maybe it doesn't eventually happen.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Well, we'll take a.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Break, take some of your calls, and much more on
the way. Next here on the ksrpre show, Welcome Back.
It is the show before the show, the KSR pre
Show Billy and the Dude Little Assie to bring us back.
Were you playing Ozzie again yesterday or is that just
the one one day?
Speaker 4 (22:39):
We would not like NonStop Ozzie.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
But we are doing on QMF this weekend a it's
called No More Tears Ozzie Weekend. And what we're doing
is if you just want to listen on QMF anytime
between now and Sunday. You just get on there and
hit that talk back button, that microphone button while you're
listening to the station. Yeah, you can record your message.
You just tell us your favorite Ozzie memory or your
favorite Ozzy song, and you automatically get signed up to
(23:02):
win free tickets. Still louder than life? So how cool
is that?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Oh yeah, that's that's coming up right. I mean, louder
than life for eving me on. It's almost that time
and a couple of months away. By the way, how's
your lip, Shannon? I saw you The mic kind of
hit you in there, yeah, out there a second or
two ago.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
You Okay, this.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Radio job is dangerous.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
I you know, I like to talk with my hands,
and I was making a really good point about something.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
And I moved my hand.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Which then hit the microphone, which then hit my lip,
and I almost busted my lip on this microphone.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
But I'm good here. There's no blood. I'm not doing
a blade job. Uh, We're all good here.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
And I'm just telling you gotta be careful sometimes these
studios fight back.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Well, like a professional. I just moved on.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I didn't want to highlight it, but you know, you
were well, nobody could see it, but you're playing in
a little bit in the break, so I just wanted
to make sure.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You were okay.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Yeah, I had to get my medical team in here
to stitch my lip up.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Uh A five nine two two eight seven. If you'd
like to join the show. You know, life is all
about expectations. It's something that Shannon said times yeah on
this show. It's you know, a reason that Mark Stoops
is having issues with the Big Blue Nation in the
Kentucky fan base right now. I mean he's a victim
of his own success. He's risen the standard of Kentucky football,
and now he's it's going to be a lot harder
to get to that ten win mark every year or
(24:15):
even six or seven. You know, Mark Pope's expectations have
drastical league changed from year one to year two. Now,
while Kentucky is the standard in college basketball, it was
almost like, hey, Mark Pope's never won an NCAA tournament game.
He's coming from BYU. Let's see how year one goes
and then maybe we can rise. You know, the expectations
change a little bit in year two.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Right well.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Mark Pope spoke to the media earlier this week and
he was asked about expectations a little bit. I wanted
to play a clip from his press conference and mainly
his thoughts if Rick Patino had expectations for his team. Now,
you're gonna have expectations for every Kentucky basketball team. But
did Rick Patino have those same kind of expectations for
the nineteen ninety six team. I think you'll like Mark
Pope's answer here.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
No, he was different. He just told us that if
we didn't win every game, he was going.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
To kill us.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
And I never knew exactly what that meant. If it
was just going to kill us figuratively in practice or
actually kill us. It was probably some grouping of both.
But the expectation was exactly the same, and it's been
the same. Listen, the expectation here has nothing to do
with me setting it. It's what it is at Kentucky.
It's one of the things that sets us different, sets
(25:27):
us apart from every other program in the country. I
happen to love it. I love every bit of it.
I'm grateful. I'm so grateful to be here where the
expectation is only one ending to the season, is actually
makes it a satisfying season. I'm grateful to be in
this environment. It comes with everything that you guys all
(25:48):
know that it comes with. But that's where I want
to be and I'm grateful. That's where our guys want
to be and they feel it, and it comes with
all the complications you can imagine. But as an athlete,
those are the complications you want to sign up for.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
So I'll ring the bell for the word grateful.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I think we got four or five gratefuls in thereful
Mark Pope?
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Who is more grateful? Which Mark is more grateful? Mark
Pope or Mark Stoops?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
What a great problem to have, just you know, all
this gratefulness in the athletic department, it is but love that.
I mean, you can absolutely put yourself in the place
of Mark Pope back in nineteen ninety six and all
the running that you might have to do with Rick Patino,
there was no expectation like that he was just going
to kill you if you didn't win all your games.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Yeah, And I could see like being intimidated about Rick
Patino if he were your coach, can't you, Oh my gosh,
I mean, he just you know, not like Patino's a
really big, you know, physical looking guy or anything, but
does certain people have that, I don't know, like the
aura about him where they could be really intimidating. I
feel like Rick Patino, if you were, you know, coming
(26:53):
in as a college kid and Rick's your coach, I
could see that being, you know, really really intimidating to
play for a guy like that who is gonna run
you to death. You know that in practice, and if
you lose, you don't even want to know what's gonna
happen if you lose because of all the extra running
that you're gonna have to do to pay for for losing.
So interesting to say, yeah, we're gonna I'm gonna kill
(27:14):
you if you don't win.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
And that's why I'm just amazed that Patino is still coaching. Right,
We've seen so many of these old coaches leave the
game and and really talk about how much it's changed
and they couldn't coach the same way that they did. Well,
it feels like I'm sure Patino has changed the way
that he talks to guys. I'm sure he has to,
but you know, he's probably doing a lot of things
the same, right I love.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
That Pope's answer was we really didn't know what he
meant when he said he was gonna kill.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Us, like literally figuratively, Like.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
You know, you lose a game, then you go to
the next game and you realize your roster is one
man short, Like what happened?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Hey, Well that's the genius.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Maybe you just kind of keep them guessing, right, You're
just you know, vague enough, so they don't really know
what's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Why does coach up a shovel in his office?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Well, you know, am I wrong to say that you
should have a little bit of fear of your head coach?
Like I know I did.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Man, I was so scared of Scott Weigant at Bellerman, Like, I.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Think that's not doing What are you afraid of Scott?
Speaker 4 (28:15):
For Scott because he was he was a drill sergeant. Man.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Yeah, I'm telling you, Like, I think that's why we weren't.
I think everybody was so scared of our coach. We
were so tight and so tense that we went out there.
We were so afraid to make a mistake that we
screwed up and we lost games. And I look, I
don't believe that a coach can be your best friend.
I think there has to be some sort of middle ground.
But there's some coaches that are, you know, drill sergeant, yes, sir, no,
(28:41):
sir type guys, and there's some that are you try
to be a little too buddy, buddy. I think somewhere
in the middle there's gotta be a good level ground.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Now.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
I love Scott weegand by the way, uh he's a
great dude, but my gosh, as a from coach to
play a relationship, we were all terrified of them.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Well, I mean that gets you into shape, right, I mean,
they you're you're not gonna not follow his orders. But
I think you're right. I think it is probably somewhere
in the middle. I've had both. I've had drill sergeants
and I've had pushovers. Yeah, and the pushover is probably
likely to give you a participation trophy, right, and put
their son at the pitching spot and do all those
type of moves. And then the drill sergeant it's just
like you better not be late for.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Oh god, no, we were terrified as to what would
happen to us if we did. I mean it was
that type of thing. Well, we saw him get out
of the park, get out of the car, get out
of his truck in the parking lot.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
And he had that look on his face like, oh boy,
it's gonna be a long day hit practice.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
And look they set the tone in off season conditioning
right like that was at least for.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Me anything, Oh the conditioning, Maybe reconsider wanting to play baseball. Yeah,
but he's done a great job there at Bellerman as
the athletic director.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Now though, so do you think any of the Kentucky
players have a fear of Mark Pope on the roster
right now?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Do you think that's the relationship they have.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Pope's kind of hard to read because he comes off
as like, you know, a really nice guy, a little goofy,
but then you hear stories like what happened at halftime
of that game last season where he spoke a whiteboard
or something over or something crazy.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
You know.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
See, I don't really know, Like I feel like you
kind of have to be like that, you know what
I mean, Like you have to have you can't be
the nice You gotta have a fire.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Yeah, you got to have that.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
The ability to turn that switch on and be a
hard ass head coach.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
If you have to for lack of a better term.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Yeah, but well they all do it differently, right, I mean,
when you're picking your coach archetype in college football twenty six,
you can be a motivator, you could be a tactician,
or you can be a recruiter Shannon. So coaches are
going to do it different ways. But you have to
be able to install some discipline into your guys and
they have to be able to listen to you when
it matters. So I think that's probably been the biggest
(30:45):
problem with today's athletes, is that maybe you have coaches
that are afraid to maybe show that kind of discipline.
But when you get to higher levels like Kentucky basketball, yeah,
there's a lot more at play. But you better believe
Fatino was in that campus discipline.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
I'm sure he's still. I mean, what.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
About what about Cal? You think people were afraid of Cal?
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Probably, Yeah, I don't think he I don't think. It
doesn't feel like to me Caliperry was a guy that would.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Deal with a lot of nonsense.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, what did he.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
Tell Matt one time? He's like, you can have one
knucklehead on your team, but you can't have two, you know,
I think I remember something like that, something along those lines.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
It feels like if you don't do it my way,
it's the highway. With cal right, it.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Was university, he is the guy running the shows.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
But yeah, ultimately maybe that is is the motto for
a coach, is it is my way or the highway.
I'm the coach of this team, but you know, I'd
love to hear like Richie Farmer talked about Patino. He's
he's joined us on the pre show before, and he
talked about when he quit during an off season conditioning
camp and Patino had to send players to come back
get him to join the rejoin the team again. So,
(31:49):
I mean, I'm sure it's happened many at times. Eight five,
two two eight seven.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Let's talk.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Let's go from one basketball program to another, Shannon, if
we can and talk about the bad, bad week that
men Physis had. I don't know if you've seen what's
been going on at the University of Memphis. They tried
to join the Big Twelve this week. They offered the
Big Twelve two hundred and fifty million dollars to join
the conference and said they would forego their media rights
for five years if they could just join the Big twelve.
Said no, we don't want you, and then the basketball
(32:18):
and the softball programs were put on two year probations
and the athletic department was fined due to academic fraud.
Two softball players were completing coursework for a former Memphis
basketball player. The softball players were paid five hundred and
fifty dollars to do three assignments for the basketball player,
and then another softball player was paid one hundred and
(32:40):
fifty dollars to answer five tests and four quizzes.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
It's always those softball players getting the entire program in trouble, right,
the entire university, making everybody look bad. You know, this
whole thing just reeks of desperation from Memphis though asking
to join the Big twelve. It's like the little nerd
like in high school that wants to sit at the
cool group table, you know, during lunch at the cafeteria.
It's like, please, I'll do anything, Please let me hang
(33:06):
out with you guys, and they're like, no, we don't
want you sitting here.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Take your getting a little too close to home here, Shannon,
make your.
Speaker 5 (33:11):
Cold pizza and your French FROs or your chocolate milk
over to the other table with the other nerds. That's
basically what the Big twelve just told Memphis. They rejected
their offer to be in their conference.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah, what does Memphis bring to the Big twelve? Right?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
I mean they had a good football season maybe eight
years ago, Penny Hardaway, do you want that problem on
your hand? So I completely understand the Big Twelve shades
of North Carolina though with this academic fraud though, softball
players doing stuff for North softball players doing stuff for
basketball players. It's not sham classes. But I guess let's
(33:44):
not be naive and think that this isn't happening.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Also, so the softball players were taking the test for
the basketball players.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, have one one former Memphis basketball player. And now
the NCAA is demanding that all those games that they
played with ineligible players be vacated.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
Right because in the year twenty twenty five, all these athletes,
they're there for that education.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
That's right, That's what matters.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
That's the thing.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Man, We've already got the rid of amateurism. Can you
get rid of the term student athletes?
Speaker 5 (34:10):
Not there for the nil money, they're there for a
good wholesome education. So if we catch these athletes cheating,
we better shut everything down.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Oh the problem is, you know, you get a Memphis
basketball program that abuses that system, right. I mean, I
think of my classes at Western Kentucky. I had a
couple of sports management classes with some football players, Shannon,
let's just say. I mean they didn't have a notebook
and pen. You know, maybe they weren't awake for the class.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
How they still passed the King yet?
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Wow? Amazing, Yeah, they're able to pass.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
You know we sound or not naive is the word,
but you know we act like it's happening all over
the country.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Of course we know it is. It's been happening for years.
But sometimes you don't get caught. I guess that's the difference.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Yeah, yeah, and Memphis is the one that got caught
this week. You can always text us five h two
two six five six six five six. We'll read some
of your text in much more on the way coming
up next in our final segment of the ks I
Appreciate it. Welcome back KSR pre show final segment. Always
thinking of baseball when I hear this song Little John Fogerty.
(35:11):
You know we're coming up on Little League World Series time,
I believe Shannon before you know it.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Yeah, well, I can never think about the Little League
World Series ever again without thinking about Ryan running the
basis and the sprinklers being activated soaking them.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
He didn't go home, He just round and third and
it was.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
A solid triple left a triple.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Yeah, nothing wrong with hitting a triple.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Yeah. I guess he didn't call for time anything, so
I guess he could still be tagged out. I mentioned
Little League because a twelve year old Little League player
from New Jersey was suspended from playing in the state
final after flipping his bat after a home run.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
In the semi finals.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Oh please.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
He upsided the celebration as a safety concern. The league
actually wrote a letter to the family of the kid
saying that horse play is not allowed in Little League
and the bat flip was considered horse play.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
That is absolutely ridiculous. Come on, really, so he suspend
it because of that?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:05):
His dad argues that the Little League International openly promotes
bat flips on their social media sites, so you see
things like Major League Baseball bat flips all the time.
But this was a safety concern when this twelve year
old launched his bat into the air after the game.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Winning home run.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
No, good grief, what are we doing?
Speaker 1 (36:22):
I mean, like, are we gate keeping the state championship
for twelve year olds that decide to celebrate when they
have a good play.
Speaker 5 (36:27):
Isn't everybody wearing a helmet anyway? I mean the bat
comes down on the air and cunk you on the head.
You got a helmet, that's what it's for.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
I think that if you like javelin throw it up
in the air into the infield, maybe and it may
be an issue we can't Like.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
If I had a walk off home run and I
take the bat and just like throw it like it's
a bow, like a or like an arrow, you know,
like a bow and arrow, just yeah, launch it right
out the pitcher, then maybe yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
But horse play, I don't know. And that seemed like
seemed like they had to go into the rules.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
There.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Guys, we got a show going on here. If you
want to stop talking, thank you.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Yeah, there's our little eager right there. A five nine,
two eighth two to eight seven. I got one more
thing for you show. It's the Time magazine Top one
hundred best podcasts of all time, And you're gonna be
disappointed to hear that the pre.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Show did not make the list, really not even thinking
one oh two one, we're.
Speaker 5 (37:23):
Certainly in the top one hundred and ten. We're not
in the top one hundred. We got to be in
the top one ten.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Well, you might not think so highly of time after
you hear some of the podcasts that weren't included.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
KSR wasn't included. No Joe Rogan, wasn't it.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
Okay, Now I'm not a big Joe Rogan fan, but
I know his podcast is wildly.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Popular, eleven million viewers every episode.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
Okay, Well, if he's not in there, then.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Top one hundred best podcast of all time.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
We were top one thousand.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Then no part in my take.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Oh no Joe Rogan, Oh come on, no KSR, NOKSR
pre Show. Let me give you some of the names
of some of the top podcasts of all time. Showing
and Call Her Daddy made the list Her two Dope
Queens if you've ever listened to that one, and only
six sports podcasts made the list thirty for thirty. The
Bill Simmons podcast Men in Blazers, New Heights with Jason
(38:12):
and Travis Kelsey. Pablo Torre finds out in the tennis
podcast from the Athletic.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Well, you haven't changed my mind.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
I'm not going to be listening to any of these podcasts,
regardless of what ranking they have. I only listen like
a handful of podcasts, and usually they're like wrestling podcasts.
Those really are the only podcast I'll listen to.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Look, I'm fine with subjective list, but if you're missing
the Joe Rogan one who, whether you agree with him
or not.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
That gets that many viewers.
Speaker 5 (38:41):
This is somebody who put this together who doesn't agree
with Joe Rogan politically or whatever it is. He goes, well,
I'm not gonna put it on my list. Well, you
know what, who cares about your list? I'll create my
own list and it'll have just as much validity as
what that list has.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Or maybe somebody that looks down on Barstool Sports and
the antics that they have in the past, and they
don't include somebody like parton My Take, who is consistently
the number one sports podcast for almost a decade at
this point, and they put the tennis podcast from the Athletic.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
Who is listening to a tennis podcast?
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Like what is there? How about Tennis Breakdown for instance?
Speaker 5 (39:15):
You know like, we've talked about pickleball in the first segment,
and I've recently started playing pickleball.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
I think it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
But you know what, I'm not going to do go
home and listen to a pickleball podcast. I'm not I'm
sure they exist, but who wants to talk about pickleball
on a podcast? Not me? I mean, I guess here's
the crazy thing though, here's here's the rony. We are
on a podcast that we are mentioning pickleball, but we're
not breaking down pickleball, is my point. We're not breaking
it down like these people are.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
I don't know, man, this is just you know, summertime.
So we go through these lists, but like rock and
Roll Hall of Fame and you're trying to induct people
that don't do rock and roll, or we do top
one hundred podcasts, and we're clearly not putting in the
best podcast. Like what are we doing, Shannon? Like, can
we give any validity to these lists or the surveys.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
That we we know? Absolutely not.
Speaker 5 (40:02):
It's all one person's opinion or maybe a few people's opinion.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
Who you know what, Let's be honest.
Speaker 5 (40:07):
Just because they work for a certain company doesn't make
their opinion any more valid than yours.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
You know, yeah, that's right. I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
I should hold my tongue because I do a lot
of surveys and a new study showed that every friend
group has that one friend who always gets targeted? Shannon,
do you agree with that news.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
Always gets targeted? In what what do you mean? Gets targeted?
Speaker 1 (40:27):
A study found that most friend groups have one person
they regularly tease or target, often under the guise of joking.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
Oh well that's us. Yeah, I mean, that's completely you
with KSR. Right, you're not guy exactly exactly.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
You're the one guy who we always target.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Am I the one guy of the group?
Speaker 5 (40:45):
Yes, but you make it so easy, like you bring
this stuff on yourself, Like we didn't make you throw
up after two mimosas you did that yourself. We didn't
make you drive over a mound of gravel last night
get your car stuck.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
You did that to yourself.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Many online describe being the group's punching bag, highlighting how
relational aggression often singles out one friend.
Speaker 5 (41:04):
That's it, And you're calling yourself a friend too? Use
that term really lightly around here. So yeah, I think
you are definitely the guy that is that particular.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
I guess it's just human nature. Maybe I shouldn't take
it so personally. Tell me about Draftings.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
Yeah, promo code KSR. You know the deal.
Speaker 5 (41:19):
Buy now, bet five dollars, get one hundred and fifty
and bonus bets four new customers have got baseball games

Speaker 1 (41:33):
All right tomorrow live on location at Kentucky Customs and Uplifting,
one nineteen Howard Street in Nicholasville, Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
Why did you do that?
Speaker 2 (41:42):
And are we still on the ax?
Speaker 4 (41:43):
We are, yes. I don't know what happened there.
Speaker 1 (41:45):

your system. That's wrure for the eight more shows you
got to do today, Shannon.
