Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody. It is the KSR pre Show. It's Thursday,
July thirty.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
First August, coming tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Shannon the Dude hanging out here with you in Louisville,
and you can give us a call on the Clark's
Puppet Shop phone line at eight five nine.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
The old Whiskey Thief Call of the Day ksrppre show
was always being brought to you by Italics Fine Italian
Dining in Lexington. You can also send us a text
at five O two two six five six six five six.
I'm being enjoyed this morning as always by my good
buddy Billy r Sports in Rutledge in Lexington. Billy Religion
and Lexington and Billy and Rutledge. That's right, Billy the
(00:38):
Rutledge joining me this morning. You know, I think Matt
thought that you and I maybe were a little combative yesterday,
but I.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Just want to put that rumor to rest. You and
I are perfectly fine. Everything's good.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
We were just having a little fun yesterday and everything's
good this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
How were you?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I'm great. Matt's known to do that. I remember the
pre show started and it was on the preface of
we hated each other, right, and it was going to be,
you know, the show full of drama. And you know
we've had our moments for sure, including a possible boxing
match at Rough and Rowdy that never happened. But no,
we for the most part have each other's back. It
(01:13):
was you and Ryan in the first segment of KSR
yesterday that got a little heat heated, and you released
his first pitch.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Well, I didn't want to do that, but you know, yeah,
I will just make this a little warning for anybody
that wants to throw barbs at me. Just know that
I'm sitting here quietly collecting my aces in the hole.
What I mean by that, I've got a little ammo
on everybody, all right. So you know when Ryan just
went all in trying to say that my first pitch
(01:42):
was was really bad, little did he know that somebody
sent me a clip of Ryan's first pitch from ten
years ago at a Likesnton Legends game That was one
hundred times worse than my first pitch because at least
mine got to the plate or hit the plate. His
was basically thrown into the home dug out. That's how
bad his first pitch was.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
It was really bad. Like we're talking John Wall fifty cent.
You know, have to move the camera to see the
actual pitch. So he says that he was trying to
throw as hard as he could. That's not a good
enough excuse. You need to have a little bit of
throwing it as hard as you can and technique. But Channon,
you're right, the blackmail that you're amassing is a little concerning.
(02:23):
I mean, you have Matt's bruised, but don't forget don't
forget you. You now have Ryan's first pitch. Who knows
what more you have on him. You've got a video
detailing my garage in the hoarding lifestyle that I lived
and nobody knows about.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I'm still sitting on it.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Do you have anything about with Drew and Mario? Because
you really have all these things.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
If I've got something on you, you'll never know until
it's time for me to unleash it on you, like
Ryan didn't. Ryan had no clue that I had that
video of his first pitch, But he just he twisted
the knife a little too too strongly yesterday and me
on you know, going in on me on that first pitch.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I said, you know what, wasn't going to do this,
but here it is. Here's Ryan's first pitch.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
So you know, when you when you criticize, somebody just
realized that maybe I've got something on you that looks
even worse than what you were criticizing me for.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah, I don't want to mess around. My hands are up,
like I'm not pissing off Shannon.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
The Dude or even the white flag right now on
this time.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I might I might need to, but I do it
to myself.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Right.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I drive up onto a gravel mound in the parking
lot of the Country Boy started opening and it just
becomes a thing by the way, which is dissipated a lot.
I passed it today, Shan, And then some hero went
out there and moved the gravel around. So thank you
I did that.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, we should have got you one of those bobcats
that Tom Leach is always advertising exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Could have Peanut come out there and help us.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Then I see that schools are already back in Indiana
this morning. That is crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Like, I don't know about you, Billy, or how things
worked in Florida when you were going to school there
but I think like school for us always started like
second week of August, and kids are going back. It's
not August this tomorrow, as I pointed out, But I
mean it's still July and kids are going back to school.
I feel like they just got out of school three
weeks ago and now they're already back again.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Starting school back in July is disgusting, Shannon. I can't
think of anything worse. If I was a kid and
trying to enjoy my summer vacation. It's July thirty first,
and they got me back out there at eight am
at my school. Now. I don't think it's all schools, right,
I think there's plenty in Kentucky that have not started yet,
maybe a week or two left in summer. Vak. But Shannon,
(04:28):
is this a response to like snow days and things
like that, because the worst thing in school is when
you're still in school, like in May and June, right,
or like going into June. Maybe that's the response to this,
as there's been a lot of days that they have
to make up. But July thirty first, I'm with you,
that's way too.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I mean, we have school.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
We had snow days when I was in school. But
I don't ever remember going back to school that early.
I feel like we just kind of, you know, just
lost those days, Like, oh, well, what does it really
matter if you'll lose two or three school days?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
It does it really matter? You get really going to
learn something in those two or three days.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
No, it's when you miss fifteen exactly cause every time
it gets a little icy, you can't go on the
back roads and things like that. So maybe that's up.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Maybe that's it, you know now, you know, back back
back in my day, you know, to be the old
man yelling at the cloud no in Bullet County if
it snowed at all, we were we were out even
back in my days for.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Same things for Oldham County and those back roads that
I lived on. But maybe you know, the city of
Louisville needs the extra time to help their bus routes.
Is that still an issue?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I think I don't think it is anymore. I don't know.
I haven't heard anything about it. I know that was
a complete disaster.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Like you remember that, like a couple of years ago,
kids were getting home at nine thirty.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I could not I could not.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Wrap my head around, like, how is that possible? Kids
are getting home at nine thirty in the evening. Again
like I only only I don't have kids, so on
the only thing I could compare it to is when
I went to school. And when I went to school,
you got out of class at like two thirty and
you're home about three o'clock. I don't understand being home
at nine thirty at night, Like, how is that even possible?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
What are they driving to? Idaho?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Was we parents are calling the school like where is
my child? Yeah, you know, it's like eight o'clock at night,
It's it's dark outside and there, you know, they're still
not even at the stop. So, you know, hoping that
AI or the consultant companies that they brought in have
helped with that. Shannon, can I bring up one thing
from yesterday. I really enjoyed the John Michael Montgomery interview.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Oh sorry, dude, he was great? Was he not? He was?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
People said that People did point out that he said
you know a little too much, which I've been guilty
of saying, you know, you know, you know. But I
think that he hit maybe an all time record for
you knows listening to John Michael mcgomery. But but I
thought he was great. I thought he was really good
on the show.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Oh, welcome to the club. I mean, my dad was like,
are you going to ever stop saying uh yesterday? And
I'm like, okay, thanks dad, and there I go again.
But I love John Michael Montgomery. I thought the interview
was great. And not only that, you know, I had
to get him from the lobby and he came a
little early, so I had like ten minutes to sit
with him and just talk.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
What did you Okay, I want to know. This is
what I want to know.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
You didn't even really know who John Michael Marilyn was played.
I think I played a song or two yesterday on
the pre show. And what did you talk to John
Michael Montgomery about? For ten minutes in the green room
before he came on KSR.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
We talked about one topic for ten minutes, Okay, it
was golf. Golf guy is a golf nut, and we
got so deep into the conversation that he was talking
about going on YouTube to try to fix this swing. Shannon,
this man is a weekend warrior, just like us, looking
up YouTube videos getting real technical with the swing. I
mean I was out there doing motions out there, Shannon,
(07:32):
showing him my swing, showing him where the wrist angle
need to be and everything. It was this guy was like,
we need to go play golf sometime, and I'm like, sure,
John Michael Montgomery, I'd love to go play golf with you.
But like a weird kind of pinch me moment sitting
there to have ten minutes with a country music megastar,
Like that wasn't.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
A pisme moment where you don't even know who he is?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Like I meet you know, celebrities that are big in
you know, their realm, and I'm not really aware of them,
and it's just like talking to Bill down the road,
you know, he just we're just hanging out does a
couple of guys talking about golf. So was it really
a pinch me moment when you didn't even know who
he was ten minutes ago?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I think it wasn't like a pinch me, wake me
up from a dream moment because I'm starstruck. It was
almost like this is bizarre. There are people that would
you know, pay hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to
be doing what I'm doing right now. You know, we
have a pretty cool job. So you know, that was
a moment that. I definitely recognized that. You know, this
is pretty cool getting bottled water for John Michael Montgomery
(08:27):
so to be on an interview with KSR. But he's
one of us. He is one of us out there
looking up YouTube videos and I guess that's his final
show that he's going to be having at Reparina here
coming up.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
That's pretty amazing for a guy from Kentucky grew up,
you know, just playing music and one day just dreaming
of playing at Roperena, And what a way to go out.
Not only is he playing Rapperina for the first time
in thirty years, he's going to be doing that as
his final show. He's going to be bringing up family.
You know, he's got other musicians in his family as well.
We talked about yesterday, So I think that's that's really
(08:58):
got to be a cool moment for him as well.
I'm just checking out his his bio here, over thirty
singles on the Billboard Country charts. The two you were
talking golf with yesterday, I guy who had over thirty
singles in the Billboard charts.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Billy.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
So loves they're they're just like us, you know, they're
out there playing golf trying to distract themselves from the
problems of the world. But you're right, over thirty years
since he had last played at Reparena. It's been a
long time, and I'm sure that makes that moment even
more special. So that's coming up at Reperina.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
You know, when we have celebrities who say they're like
they're big fans of Kentucky sports, I in the back
of my head kind of doubt it.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I'm like, eh, really, I don't know. I don't know
why I do that.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I'm probably wrong to do that, but it's like I
think I think they're more casual, like Steve's On, for instance,
Steve's On hilarious, love his movies. But I'm going, in
my head, is he really watching Kentucky. I guess he is,
though I think he goes to some Kentucky football games.
But for some reason, in my mind, I just can't
picture Steve's On from saving Silvermen at that Kentucky football game.
(09:58):
It's just hard for me to to imagine that. But
I guess, you know, these guys, even though they're celebrities
and movie stars or country music stars whatever it may be,
can still be big fans of the show too. But
I guess I just feel like in my mind they're
so consumed with their career that they don't have time
to sit down and actually be a true fan and
be able to tell you players from the rosters from
these teams.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Well, maybe here's the perfect example. Matt's newest episode on
his podcast this week is Josh Hopkins, who is famous
for his acting in TV and film. On Cougartown, he
talked a lot about being on the set of Rust
with Alec Baldwin and all the stuff that happened there,
but he is a die hard fan. He called in
to the postgame show after Kentucky lost to Wisconsin back
(10:37):
in the day with Matt, so they were it was
a great combo and that is the true highlight of
the one of these celebs that's a big fan. But
you're right, you know, how how can you be a
diehard when you're in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood,
right Like when you if you're not in the not
in Kentucky and living and dying by everything, maybe you
can be a little skeptical of it. You know. Probably
the biggest reveal of a celeb that was as a
(11:00):
fan of Kentucky or all right, I just thought was
a little bizarre. Was Rick Patino saying he was a
booster for Kentucky football?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
You know that, of course?
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Who who would have thought that?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I mean, who would have thought that? You know, Patino
was pumping money into Mark Stoops in the program. I mean,
the one eighty Patino did with this fan base over
the last two years has been incredible. But that may
have been one of the more shocking details.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Of it all.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I didn't really understand the timeline of Patino being a
donor for football. Certainly, he wasn't donating money to Kentucky
football when he was the coach at U of Light,
so it has to be a more recent thing, I
guess since he.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Left Lobell and still it was.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
It was a crazy thing to just kind of randomly
be dropped in an interview like, oh, yeah, I'm a
donor for Kentucky what.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, that was bizarre. But you know the success of
Kentucky football has gone down over the last couple of years,
So is the correlation there?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I mean you're blame it Rick because he donated money.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I don't think that has anything to do with anything
If anything, if it weren't for Rick Patino, they would
be even worse.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Well, if it wasn't for Rick Patino, the public sentiment
of Mark Pope, I think would have taken much longer
for the approval process from this fan base. You know,
when he released that video the day or really the
day after, the morning after that Pope news came out,
I felt like that was a big That was a
big moment, of course for the fan base for the program.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
That was one of the biggest endorsements I think he
could have had being the new coach here at Kentucky.
When you get and even though Rick Patino fans couldn't
stand him for the longest time, it just felt like
all had been forgiven.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I know, Marsh's listening, rolling her eyes, going oh not me,
And there's some fans that are on Marsh's side, but
I feel like the majority of our fan base flipped
like that. And it just goes to show you how
quickly fan bases can turn. They love you, they hate you,
they love you again.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
That's kind of been the Rick Patino story in his
relationship with Kentucky fans.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
It's a fickle relationship. There's no doubt. But you know wrestling,
when Jack Gibbs, he's.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
A hill, Oh we love you again, come here.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Well, like that day, like Jack Gibbons gets on KSR,
he's talking about it. You get the video from Rick
Patino that weekend, you have the revival at RUPP and
you and you see the support from the fan base
and the alumni and that was a big part of
reclaiming the program and not just being a stop on
Caliperi University. But you know that's all positive, right And
for us to get those practice reports yesterday that Jalen
(13:20):
Lowe may be better than we think and Trent Noah
is going to force himself into the lineup, and you
know there's a lot of positivity going on right now
with that.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, hearing Trent Noah is the best three point shooter
on the team, that's exciting to hear. A lot of
good stuff coming from practice. So looking forward to of
course getting the basketball season started, but we got football
coming up. But we got football tonight, Bill Tonight, the
Chargers and the Lions. Are you excited about NFL preseason football?
We'll talk about it coming up next eight, five, nine, two, eighth,
twenty two eighty seven. It is the ksrprecio. I mean,
(13:48):
even if you're not a country music fan, how can
you not like this sore? And there was Billy just
sitting there talking golf with this guy who's singing this song?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Here it is?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
And how about John Michael Montgomery is singing that yesterday?
Did you hear him singing with Matt?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, did you pick that up? I don't know you?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, no, I got it. It's normally just Matt. You
hear on the podcast. We got an actual country stars
singing too.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
So tonight, as I mentioned before, we went to the
break there, we got some NFL football. Does it excite
you at all, Billy, that we got football in July?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Does it tickle your fancy?
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Uh? No, Man, Listen, this will be the only preseason
game that I care about. This will be the only
one I will turn it on. I will probably watch
the entire first half. Football will be back to some
sort of degree. Then I probably won't watch another one
until the regular season starts. It's just like extended practices
out there, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
But I mean for everybody who's like, oh, beast ball,
beast Bull's boring, this is for you people, right, this
is for everybody that loves football and can't stand baseball.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
You got a game tonight.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, but even if you like basketball, do you watch
the summer League? You might throw it on for a
little bit of it, but you know it doesn't count, right,
So it's hard to fake enthusiasm. But look, I mean,
you know, some on this show might have to start
doing an NFL show soon, so we might have to
just you know, start buckling down and watching all these preseas.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
That's right, that's right. And by the way, for those
of you people who say that baseball is boring, get
on TikTok and google Phillies. Yankees fans, do you know, okay,
if you don't even talk about.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Oh my gosh, you don't know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Gosh, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah, you
can leave it at that is.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Little extracurricular activity going on between a couple at the boring.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
You got to find something to do.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (15:34):

As additional terms.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
And responsible gaming resources see DKNG dot co slash audio Shannon.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
One thing from the text line, one person says, I
bet Patino became a football donor. When Callan Stoops got
into it about the basketball school, comments, did you see that?
You say, you know we compete in the SEC, CAL
saying it's a basketball school. Patino wants to get a
little bit back at Cal, so he starts donating to football.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I could see that.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I could see that Patino's way of just needling at
Cal a little bit, but.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Your timeline kind of matches up. But that's you know,
that would be a kind of a dream, a pipe dream.
The Potino to do something like that.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
But when it comes down to this revenue sharing conversation
that we've had, don't you think, though, if you sank
a lot more into the basketball that you did football
would kind of confirmed what Cali Perry was saying.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
We're a basketball school.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
I mean, doesn't that show your your your allegiance to
a particular program, like a basketball program, more so than
the football.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
If that were the case.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yes, because cow wasn't wrong. I mean, Kentucky is a
basketball school, but you can't say that like it has
to be Kumbaya Akuna matata, Yeah, all that jazz.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Don't address the elephant in the room. We all know
it's there, but don't say that it's there.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Right exactly, So everybody knows Kentucky's a basketball school. The
rich history and tradition of the school will forever be
dominated by basketball and not football. But when you're actively
competing in the SEC and you're battling for recruits over
other schools, you can't negatively recruit your own school and
say things like that. So I think that's why it
(17:35):
was such a fuss, and rightly so. But that was
a definite rift when it comes to Kentucky Athletics. For
a while there, it felt.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Like I'm going to the Reds Braves game tonight. Matt
was gracious enough to hook me up with his tickets.
But a Kunya is out for the game. He got
injured a couple of games ago. I was really looking
forward to seeing it. Acunya, he's out again, he's on
the ten day DL and the.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Braves are appsly terrible.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
So basically I'm just going, I guess as a fan
of the spoiler team trying to ruin it for the Reds.
You know, they got this big game coming up on
Saturday in Bristol, which I'm gonna watch. But again, like
if you're a Braves fan, you're just watching it because
of the festivities of being at a track in Bristol.
You're not watching it because you have a true interest
in your team, but looking forward to at least going
(18:20):
there tonight. It's always fun at a Reds game, just
to be able to hang out and be there amongst
all the fans and be at a ball game, right,
it's always fun.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Well, yeah, you're gonna be a fan of the sport
this weekend because I don't know if the Braves are
gonna give you much enjoyment. But how exciting was the
Reds game last night? I mean they beat the Dodgers. Yeah,
I mean it was Spencer Steer at the eleven pitch
at bad in the eight that allowed the Reds to
take the lead. So they didn't get swept, the only
team that's never been swept this year in the Major League.
(18:49):
So Shannon, maybe that's your silver lining. You could really
put a dent into the Reds playoffs chances and maybe
come away with a sweep.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
That's the thing we're going for. The sweep.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
I mean, just demoralize mat say it's the end of
the summer of Ellie. I mean, if you were to
win these two games and then went in Bristol on
the national stage like that, I mean, that's you couldn't
do my dash the thing.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
They say, sure the Pirates have more wins than us
on the season, but you know what, we swept the
Reds and we were the only team to do it.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
That's that's the motivation going into this weekend, this series
coming up. But I mentioned the KSR curse. Did you
see Shohei Otani. We were just talking about him being
one of the greatest of all time, and he went
out and was at the fourth inning yesterday with an injury.
Reds ended up winning the game because they don't want
to face Otani for the entirety of the game.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
And not only that. You know, we were talking about
him just the other day about you know, how he's
changed baseball. He's the face of the sport. He had
he got the golden sombrero the night before that. We
were talking about that. He had four strikeouts in that game.
So you know, that's that's baseball, right. I mean, even
the best, the Hall of Famers are going to fail
seven times out of ten. And you're even if you
(19:56):
are the face of the sport, you are not going
to get away from a sport. Getting back to you
it sometimes.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
So I'm just looking at this picture that you tweeted
out from Bristol Motor Speedway.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Oh the overhead for you.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I realized that the infield was big.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I didn't realize the infield of a track was so
big that you could PLoP down a Major League.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Baseball field in the Did you realize that? I had
no idea.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
I mean I understood it when they said they were
go to play there, I knew they were going to
play inside, but until you actually see the visual of
a major League baseball field right in the middle of
the track, you don't really have an appreciation for how
large that track actually is until you see it just
you know, right there in the middle of the infield.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
No, a lot easier to get a football stadium in there,
right and instead of a baseball diamond. But it continues
sports venturing into these odd venues. Right. You saw basketball
play on an aircraft carrier back in the day. That
didn't really work it as well as it should. No, Uh,
there's been some there's been some weird venues like that,
and also the NFL going over to Europe and playing
(20:57):
in a country like Germany this next year. But this
is probably going to take the cake for one of
the more unique ones. There's no doubt field of dreams
in baseball, right, You got the corn corn field back there, so, uh,
trying different things at all times.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
So, I mean they're selling those seats outside the track
as well, right, So if you're sitting outside the track,
I mean there's a ton of seats outside the track.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Oh, it's going to break an attendance record all time
eighty eighty eighty five thousand tickets have already been sold
for this game.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
And was Matt correct and saying that if a player
plays well or a pitcher plays well, they're going to
like let them take a victory.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Lap or I had not heard that. I would love
that for cars to be driving around while the game's going.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
That sounds like something made up. But you know what,
for this one, I could see it. Eight nine twenty
two eighty seven, got about a minute left. John Schwartz
on the line. Hey John, what's up?
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Hey John?
Speaker 5 (21:45):
That's much America.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
You're a great American.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
It was good as six players once you can take
you well.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Hall of Thame, that's right. Yep.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
We hadn't got to that yet, but that was on
my list to talk about next. And who's your favorite
cat going into the Hall of Fame this year? Do
you have a favorite out of all of them?
Speaker 5 (22:01):
I don't have it. I don't have a favorite. Goes
it all great? And no kinds of council on that
forty five and two I must still say that it's
forty five and two team because we're not thirty eight
and one and we so we lost in the Bahamas
in the summer to twenty fourteen to be and we
lost Wisconsin. That's kind of say we're forty five and
two and the NCAA won't count like that.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I would got right.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Well, you know what, John, we should make you the
commissioner of the NCAA. I think you can figure out
all the problems. Good to hear from you, John, as
always be guess that we got to take a break.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
We'll be right back. Ksrpre Show. All right, welcome back.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
It is the KSR Pre Show eight five nine two,
eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
If you want to jump on board to give us
a call.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Billy, you were telling me during the break that Bristol
is the smallest of the tracks and all mascars.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Is that some people chime in saying Bristol is the
smallest track in NASCAR. It's only a half mile oval.
So I guess theoretically every infield would be bigger at
the other tracks, and so that just goes to show
you how big these infields can be. I guess besides
a road track, but smallest courses out there on the
NASCAR circuit.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
We mentioned during the last break. We're talking with John
the UK Athletics Hall of Fame class. It's been announced
to get Abby Cheek Ramsey for the softball team, Mikayla
Epps for the women's basketball team, Doug Flynn of course
baseball and men's basketball, Sonya Han women's tennis, Josh Heines
Allen for football, and Karl Anthony Towns all going into
the Hall of Fame. So with big congrats to all
(23:24):
of those and inductees into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yeah, no doubt, especially Kat who wasn't allowed to shoot
a three pointer. And still it's right, such a great player.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Colin Chandler apparently had a minor injury. He's back and
healthy and back in practice. Apparently he didn't play in
any of those scrimmages in the Low Familia game.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I guess we can say scrimmage now that it's all over.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
But I think he you know, he's a guy that
we talked about last year being a big surprise for
the basketball team, the guy that going in a lot
of people didn't expect to get significant playing time and
to be a big contributing factor to the team.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Yet he was, and he was, you know, he had some.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Crucial plays in big games down the stretch last basketball season.
I think he's going to be a guy that it's
going to contribute.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Again this year.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Here's the thing now, going in after knowing what we
know from last season, we're kind of expecting that.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Well, yeah, I don't think you knew what to expect
from him coming off a mission trip not playing basketball. Besides,
you know, a couple hours here and there, you saw
his natural progression and really become a contributor for this
team late in the year, so much so that it
was the NCAA Tournament and they were counting on him
at times. And that's just college basketball, right. The injury
bug's going to hit you at times and you're gonna
(24:36):
have to have depth. But I agree, I fully expect.
I don't know if I'm going to get to Drew's
level and say he's going to hit a game winner
this year. I mean they talk about something, if you
bet on DraftKings, you're going to make a little coin. Yeah,
But at the same time, a second year in Pope system,
you know they've lamented about how important that is and
how you're decision making shifts from just trying to learn
the system to thinking one step ahead. And what's the
(24:59):
best thing to do? So absolutely, Now will you have
to battle for playing time? Everyone on this roster is
going to a degree, But is the Mormon Mamba going
to be a contributor on the team this year? Absolutely?
Come on, Yeah, this guy, I think he's got some
big games in him, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Obviously we haven't seen the team play yet, so we
don't know. But I don't know that I want Colline
handler to be my first toys. For a game winning shot,
I'd say give it to Oway. I feel like he's
got a pretty good track record.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
He's got the drive and shot right. Yeah, a couple
of Oklahoma winners. So I really think Jasper's going to
be somebody that surprises us. Maybe somebody that has to
kind of ease into it a little bit and pick
up the speed of the game. But maybe by the
end of sec play he is really going off. He
didn't come here to not play, you know what I
mean by that?
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Absolutely, while we're talking college basketball, I don't think we
mentioned it on the pre show. We did mention it
on KSR, though, but I want to talk with you
about it here. Also was a big you know, I'm
a big proponent. I'm a big fan of the Marathon
opening for college basketball, where they play twenty four to
seven college basketball games.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I'm a big fan. It's coming back. Did you see
that new No?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
No, they just released that a.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Couple of days ago, and Murray State's going to be
a part of that. So we're gonna have games. You
could be up at any given point of the night.
At three am, you're gonna have a live college basketball
game on. And I know it's usually teams that nobody
cares about, but I just being a fan of college basketball,
love the fact that I can turn on my TV
at any given point for that for those twenty four hours,
(26:23):
and somebody's gonna be playing the game, you know, Like
that's that's when it's fun to get on DraftKings and go, well,
I don't really care about either one of these teams,
but let's put five dollars on it and we'll pick,
you know, some random team that's playing at three o'clock
in the morning. I love college basketball. I love the Marathon,
So I'm glad that it's back.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Well, at least it kind of marks the beginning of
the season for us. I feel like, you know, the
NFL dominates this country, and the start of the college
basketball season can sometimes get a little lost in translation
when it's a non momentous start like that, Shannon, But
when you do the twenty four hours of basketball, you know,
and you can tune in and you can watch a
little bit of a little bit of it all day.
(27:02):
So I do like it as well. It's just gonna
be weird playing Louisville before the football game. There's gonna
be some odd aspects to it all. But look, I mean,
Kentucky's got a tough schedule this year, so they're gonna
have to hit the ground running much earlier than they
did already.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Hear some Louisville football fans and Loisville basketball fans saying
that they think that this year Louisville basketball has a
very good chance of making the final four in louisvill
football making a college football playoffs.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Do you think that's going to happen?
Speaker 3 (27:31):
For I mean, I lay my head down at night
just like every Louisville fan and have dreams of my
sports teams going on to bigger and better things. But
in the same year, Shannon, I mean, slow down. The
year of the Cardinal twenty thirteen. Speaking of U of
L football, did you see the picture of Vince Marrow
from yesterday?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
No, but you were telling me about it, and I
feel like I need to see this picture.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Okay, just look it up real quick on Twitter if
you haven't seen it. Vince is at the U OFL
football training camp, whatever they're doing practice there. He has
a collar that's popped and his sweatpants are inside out. Adida.
It's just it's just a strange image from our guy, Vince.
I don't know if he didn't realize his pants were
inside out.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Maybe he's doing it on purpose. Maybe that's a fashion state.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Maybe it's the billy confidence with the pop callar. I've
been known to rock a pop collar.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
I mean, look pop.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Well, I don't have a collar on, but if I
always pop the collar, like if I got like a
pullover on, I'm always always pop the call. Yeah, I'm
not folding it down. You're gonna pop the collar. I'm
not worried about the pop the collar. I'm talking about
the inside out pants. You know they say that even
celebrities and athletes, they all put their pants on the
same way.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Not Vince Marrow. He puts them on inside out.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Apparently that's right. And you know, confession time here. A
lot of my socks are mismatched too, sham.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Oh really, oh okay, I am ocd about that. I've
got a bundle of socks that are in like a drawer,
and I have to have them matched up. If they
are not matched, I will refuse to put on mismatched socks.
It drives me crazy. Now, I'm not even you may
(29:04):
have like one gray and one black sock. I'm talking
about even if they're both black socks. Even if they're
both black Nike socks. I've got like two or three
different versions of them. Some of them got the check
mark on the front, some of them got a check
mark on each side, you know, the little Nike check logo.
If I get one that's got the check mark in
the front and one on the sides, I will not
(29:26):
wear those two together. I can't do it. I'm completely
you can't go about your day. No, I will not.
I will not. I will if there's a sock missing,
I will go and search through the dryer to find
that matching sock before I am willing to walk out
the door with missmatch socks. Even though I'm the only
(29:47):
one that knows it, you know, like the ones that.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I wear, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
You can look right now the ones I wear, you
can't even see.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Them, like that leg trying to show me on the
camera to go.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
See that though.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
I mean, they're no show socks. But I know that
they're not matching. And if I know they're not matching,
I can't do it.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I can't. I will not walk out of the house
with mismatched socks.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Okay, I'm the complete opposite. Now, I just look down.
I do have matching socks on today. But when I
take the socks out of the dryer, we dump them
into like this pile. It's not even like let's find
the match and fold them together. No, it's you would
think I am a neanderthal. But if you saw this,
this drawer of socks that I have, shit.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Well that's my problem. Like I don't bring them out
of the dryer and then start matching them.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
There.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
They come into a you know, the big laundry basket.
Then they go upstairs, they go into my closet and
there's a drawer and they kind of just get dumped
in there. Well, now, next day, when I need some socks.
They're not already matched up for me. Now it's a
scavenger hunt. Now we're going through we're sorting colors. Okay,
I got all the black socks here, but now I've
(30:50):
got five different variations of black socks. So now I
got to figure out which ones actually matched before I'm
willing to put them on. Am I crazy? Am I
the only one like that? Maybe I am? Maybe it's again,
maybe it's OCD. Call it what you want, a quirk,
whatever it is, I will not do it unless they
are the exact same kind.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Yeah, please tell us on the text line six six
six five six. I'm guessing I'm in the minority here,
just you know, mixing and matching it. It's not like
white sock and block sock. It's not that egregious. But yeah,
we are. We're working with different sizes and and no
doubt it is a little bizarre.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Hey, five nine, two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
If you have any quirks that you want to add
to the conversation, you can do that. Uh, changing directions completely.
Did you see this news about Vince McMahon. He's in
the news. He rear ended on a rear ended a
seventy two year old woman. Oh no, not like that.
I'm talking about driving in a car.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I knew what you were saying. Hey, I don't know
your mind wanderers.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Sometimes he slammed into the back of a person driving
a car. He was charged with reckless driving and following
too closely.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Got out on five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I mean, that's that's a that's like saying, hey, Vince,
give us a nickel with all the money that he's got.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
But I want to just ask you that.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Imagine you're driving down the road, driving down the highway,
you get rear end it, you get out of your
car and it's Vince McMahon that just hit you. You
want to use a wrestling term talking about selling, I
would be selling the injury to the to the moon, like.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Vince, I can't move man.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
I would be like following following that lawsuit immediately you
want to talk about getting hit by one of the
richest people on the planet. You get rear ended by
Vince McMahon. I think I would definitely be playing up
the injury a little bit.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Oh yeah, no doubt, And I'm sure it wasn't a
ninety nine Honda Civic that he hit her with, right, Bentley. Yeah,
you see that Bentley in the rearview mirror after the wreck,
and maybe your shoulder hurts a little bit more than
it than it actually does. Uh, but bizarre, Yeah, I
mean Vince comes out to take pictures and make sure
you're okay.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
She did say, well, here's the good thing.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Well, I mean, I don't know if it's a thing,
but for him, she didn't have a clue who he was.
I guess she does now because she's being interviewed. She's
being interviewed by all these media sources going on.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Do you realize who that wasn't just hit you?
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Yeah, you show your grandson pictures of the Bentley that
hit you, and then and you actually took a picture
of the person and it's Vince McMahon.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, who apparently, if you listen to these old wrestling
podcasts like I do, has a history of being just
a crazy driver, you know, just a maniacal driver.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
So it's just like somebody like changing lanes on the interstate.
Oh have you seen those people.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
On the way to work this morning?
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I got behind I guess it was like a street
race car and this guy was like on my butt
to the point where I'm like, you're gonna run me
off the road. So I just Fortunately for me, I
was about to get off the exit anyway, but this
guy was.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Like right on me. And here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I'm the one who gets pulled over going you know,
seventy and a sixty five. Meanwhile, these guys that are
going one hundred and ten miles an hour. You never
see these guys get pulled over.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
We even left and right out of traffic people on
the right.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
So he was on me like he was in my
back seat with me. He could have reached out and
touched my shoulder.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
That's hell. I mean, he was in my car with me.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
He was Yes, did he have a spoiler in the
back of his Yes, yeah, okay, this is this will
be a stretch here. But did he have any lights
coming from the bottom of yes?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Yes, oh wow, the blue the blue like under lights
like the yeah, like the neon looking blue color lights.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
You're not putting lights on your car unless you're going
one ten on the interstate and you're eaving through traffic.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Right at six forty in the morning to two nonetheless
on a Thursday morning. So anyway, put your phone down. Absolutely,
that's right. Twenty two eighty seven. We're going to take
our final break here. If you got any other quirks
like me with the socks, where you got to have
everything a certain way, or.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Your day is just going to be ruined to let
us know.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Are you putting your outfit out before you go to sleep?
Speaker 2 (34:54):
No?
Speaker 3 (34:55):
No, okay? Good On the same way I think when
I wake up in the morning, man morning, and I'm
looking for there's.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Of all the good thing about being on radio You
can pretty much wear what you want because nobody can
see you anyway, right, LUs Mario decides to make a video. Yes, right, yes,
that's right. So but no, I am not laying out
anything the night before. I'm not in grade school. I
don't have mom laying out my you know my short.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Well, you get up so early, I figure your sleepwalk.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Now, yeah I am, And I'm like, whatever, what if
whatever is there? Like whatever?
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Sometimes it's whatever is readily accessible, whatever is the first
thing I see in my closet, I just pull it
out of there and put it on and out the
door we go.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
And you slept in the ovw hat So then you
just keep that it's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
And then you just you know, it's permanently attached to
my head. We'll be right back. Take more of your
phone call as it is the KSR pre Show. Final
segment of the KSR pre Show. This is Ever Clear, Billy.
We are a little over one week away from our
show with Ever Clear and Lexington Manchester Music Hall. It'll
be going on next Friday night, August the eighth. Tickets
(35:51):
at Manchester Music Hall dot com. We're really excited about it, Billy,
but you know, we don't want to come out and
be like the cover band opening up Forever Clear, so
we're trying to like frantically work up some new music.
So that's what I was doing for most of last night.
Spent like three hours trying to put together new music
so that we don't look like the cover band opening
Forever Clear.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Well.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
I appreciate that sentiment, but you know, I'd rather hear
two or three songs that you're really happy with and
you guys have practiced for a long time than maybe
six or seven that you're just learning. Right. I want
you guys to be up there confident about what you're playing,
so don't rush it at all.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
We kind of have to me the shows in a
week and we're still putting songs together.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
So it sounds like me back in the day, you know,
having to do examine college. You kind of wait till
the final two hours before it's due.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Well, we're gonna rock it out regardless of what we
decided to do on the set list. We only get
I think thirty minutes, but looking forward to it, regardless
of Manchester Music Hall dot Com get your tickets and
join us next Friday night, August the eighth at the
Manchester Single.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Clearly in the minority when it comes to socks and
the matching of it, I guess all of you wear
the same matching socks every day. I'm the only one
mixed matching it up.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Yeah again, can't cannot do it any other way. We
got some calls, Let's go to them. I only got
a few minutes. Let's go to Bob first. Hey Bob,
what's up?
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Hey Bob?
Speaker 6 (37:07):
Hey, Hey dude, Hey man, you are my hero. I
thought for sure I was the only one that MaTx
socks like you just said, but I cannot stand to
wear miss mash socks.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yeah, because some of them even feel different you know,
like if you have different socks, some of them are
made with a little bit of a different texture, and
even that drives me crazy, so you forget about it.
Speaker 6 (37:29):
No, I'm a little bit thicker than others. And uh
and also as soon as they get uh start getting
a hole in the heel or the toe out.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
And his partners.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Of a hole with.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
One hundred percent, Bob will make you the call the day.
Thanks for calling. That's her whiskey thief call the day
right there.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
He can't keep the holy socks. You got to get
rid of those things.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Unless you're Ryan Lemon and you're a relator who comes
in and tells people to take their shoes off and
then you have your toe sticking through.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Oh I cannot wait to ask Ryan this question. He's
mixed matching with me too.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Oh yeah, yeah, sure, let's go to Eric. Hey, Eric,
what's up?
Speaker 7 (38:08):
Hey guys, I just want to say, this is such
a glorious day to know that I am not alone
when it comes to this sock thing. My wife thinks
I'm absolutely insane because I will throw away socks that
are remotely used up and kind of thin or will
not match them. It will ruin my day. If I
lose the socks and I can't find the match, it
just it drives me insane. I'm with you, I'd be
(38:30):
so happy.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Oh hey, Eric, we are on the same team, man,
We're I got you back on this. I spend an
interrational amount of time every morning going through the sock
door just trying to find the right socks. This morning,
I probably spent two or three minutes going through, dumping
out socks onto the floor, out of the drawer to
find the right socks. Was not going to leave if
(38:52):
that meant that I was late coming into work to
run the Jerry Eve Show. Sorry, Jerry, your show just
got to start later. I got to have the right socks.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
We have.
Speaker 7 (39:00):
Certain socks are certain activities, Like if you're gonna go
and work out, you want like ones are not gonna
like be tight constricted around your ankles, or be on
your feet all day long, each same thing. If you're
gonna do something you know you're gonna you know you
want hot socks for it. Just socks are amazing and
they're too expensive. Let's bring down the price of socks.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
That's all I got to say.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Thank God, make socks great again. Thanks for the call, Eric,
I appreciate it. I mean, I guess there are some
heathens like Billy that just run out there and have
one gray sock and one pink sock.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
Right there, Brian, do you ever wear mixed match socks?
Speaker 4 (39:31):
Now?
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Now there you go say, Billy, you're in the minority.
What we're finding out is that Billy is actually in
the minority. Here.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
All right, we got one more call.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Let's last time vulnerable on that show.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (39:42):
Hey, guys? How you doing with the socks? I'm with Shannon.
They have to match, you have to be the exact color.
Something I do that's quirky left over from the Marine
Corps is I'll turn the in socks, the socks inside
out or them that way. That's kind of weird, but
that's what I do. And last thing, do you think
that Epstein files ever get.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Least have a good day thanks to the call? Allen?
I don't think at this point they ever will get released. Billy.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I'm starting to wonder is there even a list. We
heard there was a list, but then it was like, well,
maybe there's not a list. I don't know if there
is a list. I don't think it ever gets released.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
I'll just not under this administration. I mean, it went
from there was no list to Hillary wrote the list
in Obama.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
So and now like there's so many fake outlets, Like
I don't even know what to trust anymore. Like if
somebody suddenly said okay and it didn't come from the
president or you know, a high up authority, and mysteriously
there's just this list, can you believe it?
Speaker 3 (40:40):
I mean, I don't know. You got video footage being
released and it's edited.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
I mean, you got first pitches that look like they bounced,
that were ai edited.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
You can't trust that anymore.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Even trust came trust Ryan showing a first pitch for me,
because that's been confirmed.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
There is there is no like.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
No, it's been confirmed as here.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
So what we learned today, Billy, is that once again,
you are in the minority on a topic.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
When it comes to socks. There's not one person.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
There's not one person who has owned up to knowingly
and willingly leaving their house with mismatched socks on their feet.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
I know you're out there. You may just not be
brave enough to go on you know, state wide radio
and admit it. But that's why I'm here.
