Pre Show is brought to you by Italics Fine Italian
Dining in Lexington, Kentucky. Will they will not serve you
a hot dog without a bun or I guess, chips
without cheese. The disaster from Bristol Motor Speedway we talked
a little bit about yesterday. Shannon the Dudeh's in Louisville.
What's up man, Good morning?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
How are you doing? Great?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Manah, I don't think they're gonna be serving you a
hot dog at all at Italics.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
It's fine Italian dining.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Unless you think a hot dog is fine fine Italian dining.
You and I have different I guess thoughts on what
fine Italian would be If you're.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
You're running for a hot dog, Yeah, you're spot on.
I just could not imagine you know, getting into that
rained out game, standing in a concession line for an
hour and twenty minutes and they get up there, they
just hand you a dog, no bud, It seems illegal.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Who does wants cheese? Like here, here's a tub of cheese.
Have fun with that, Like, what are you gonna do
with that? Just dip your finger in there and eat
some cheese? Like yeah, I don't know how you screw
that up or really don't.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Like that's a huge failure.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
It's not like it's the first time that MLB has
tried to do something outside the box, right, but maybe
not anything to that extent. You would think you would
have all your eyes dotted and your te's crossed though,
and you had all season to get ready for that,
and you completely fumbled the ball. What it does that
it went right between their legs.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I'll eat chips without cheese, but like just giving me
a thing of cheese, Shannon, like you said, like, what what.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Am I gonna do with that? Yeah, especially when it's raining.
Now it's pouring down rain.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I've got a bucket of cheese in my hands and
it's pouring down rain. The cheese is getting thinned out
because it's watered down. What an absolute debacle.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
You know, they were so worried about getting that field
inside the infield and they just didn't take care of
anything else.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I guess so I forgot about the details. Man, Everything
is all about the details. You can have a great plan,
but if you don't have the details worked out, it
doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
It's going to fall apart.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Well, I'm glad you brought up details because GM Billy
may have made a little bit of a mistake this
morning already. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Well, you make mistakes before you even get out of bed,
don't you.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Well, and that's that's a bigger theme that I do
want to talk about. But you know, I'm getting coffee
and one of the salespeople come up to me and
they're like, they asked me last week when of the
guys going to be in the studio, and I'm like,
you know, I'm not sure. We kind of figure out
Sunday night when we decide these things. And Matt's actually
doing the show from Louisville today, right, some of the
guys are coming in. That's why you know you're gonna
(02:41):
get to see some people in person actually today, Shannon, believe.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
It or not okay, So their ectisodes, Ryan and Drew
are actually coming to Loivell.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
You're telling me, yeah, yeah, so and so Matt Matt's
going to be there and social Occa. You know, I'm
not sure. Things kind of just changed last minute, but
somebody in the sales staff was trying to coordinate a
food drop here at the office. You know, gold Star
wanted to bring over some coney Shannon, some dogs with
buns and some cheese and chili. And I was like, yeah,
(03:08):
I'm going to get back to you. You know, normally
they're here on most days, but this week there wasn't.
So I failed to communicate, Shannon. Imagine that that the
guys a communications company that doesn't communicate. I've failed to
communicate that the guys were not going to be in
studio today. So we've got gold Star for twenty people
coming into the studio this morning.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I don't see a problem with that. That's just more
Coney's for you. I mean, they could always redirect those
and send them over to Louisville. We would gladly have
the Cony's here. That's the thing about the food drops too.
Serves them right by the way. Because I'm always in
a situation to where the guys and likes it to
always get food dropped off to them, free food, free conyes,
free donuts, free this, free that, And I don't ever
(03:49):
get anything. So I think that it's good for once
that nobody gets anything today, except but.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You get like the potlucks, like they have Thanksgiving dinner
in the Louisville office. We don't get that. In Lexington.
We do like a secret sana. But like you guys
have like holidays and like celebrations.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Oh yeah, we get Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
We get one day out three hundred and sixty five days,
we get one day.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
And you're saying like we're privileged or something over here.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Well, so we got like, you know, eight to ten
salespeople here, Shandon. So it sounds like, you know, I
may be doing my own nine nine to nine challenge
here with all this gold star that's going to be
coming to the office.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
He's eight to ten people, twenty dogs, two apiece. The math,
the math maths for me, I don't think it's that
hard to figure out.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I'm gonna have to put
a band in on and put on Eye of the
Tiger or something. But at least they'll have buns with him.
I hope could not imagine not eating it. But Shannon,
you kind of alluded to something I wanted to get
to in the first segment. There's some stuff we'll talk
about today. The premiere of Hard Knocks is tonight with
some of the new Kentucky guys. The NCAA voted made
(04:46):
a ruling about March Madness that we'll discuss. We've got
a lot of little things that we'll get to today.
But Shannon, I wanted to ask you something is somebody
that has put me on to coffee. You've already changed
my life, right, You've already talked to me start my morning's.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I'm glad you finally acknowledged that I've changed your life
for the better. Well glad, I'm you know, yeah, I
mean it was and that just happened in what two
or three years?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Imagine what would happen in like ten.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Years if I just keep doing the show with you, Shannon,
who knows the type of man that I'll be.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I'm just making decade. I'm making you.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I'm making Billy better. That's what I'm doing. We're building
back better with Billy, building back one of these is
gonna stick. I'm trying to use our past two presidential catchphrases.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
They had big Blue Kazoo not stick either.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
In the early day, I believe that I didn't catch
on that was real the greatest. That was genius. Everybody
bring a big blue kazoo and blow it on.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh, I'm tired of Mississippi State cheating, Shannon, That's all
it was. I was just tired of the damn cowbells.
But anyway, the show's gotten a lot better since then.
But Shannon, uh, you know, changes people's lives every day.
One thing he did to me was got me on coffee.
Has helped me in the mornings be more awake and lively,
even though I'll still misspeak like Ryan all the time.
But Shannon, like, if you look at people online that
(05:58):
say that their success, these high achieving people, it's all
about the morning. It's all about winning the morning and
what you can do in the first hour of your
day to set yourself up for success. And I wanted
to ask the busiest man in radio, the guy that
has six shows, the guy that is you know, the
OVW self acclaimed radio heavyweight title, what your morning routine
(06:21):
is because these these people, you know, they're working out
for forty five minutes to an hour, they're meditating, you know,
they're drinking large amounts of water. There seems to be
a I don't know, a profile of high achieving people
and what they do in the morning. So, Shannon, I
want to ask you, what is your morning routine? Are
you anything like these people are saying that they're doing
these motivational speakers at six am?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
No, I'm not working out at all. What I do?
I get up.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I immediately grab my phone off the charger, I go
straight for the coffee maker, fire up the old Q
egg or whatever the thing is.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Like, you're not supposed to drink coffee within ninety minutes
of waking up, Shannon, by the way.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Well that's the whole point of waking up, Like, okay,
that's that's ridiculous, because that's why you need coffee, is
to wake up. If I don't drink coffee ninety minutes later,
I'm gonna figure it out.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
On my own, all right.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So I don't need coffee ninety minutes later. I need
it immediately in my veins. Inject the coffee into my veins.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That's what I do. Uh No, I've got a It's
not a cu rig, it's a lore. You know what
a lore is? I do. Okay, so that's what I got.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
So I fire up the lore, put the pod in,
grab the hazelnut creamer out of the out of the
refrigerator staple, fix up my coffee. And then as soon
as the coffee is ready, I go right to the
man cave. I turn on the news. I see what's
going on in the world. I drink my coffee. I
come back in, get a shower, brush my teeth, throw
on some clothes, and it's on the way to the
radio station.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
That's so what I'm hearing is phone coffee and then
TV is the first thing that.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
You can feed TV. Shower on the way.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Okay. That's There were people out there that would say
that you're setting yourself up for failure every day. Shit,
that's what you think. The coffee shouldn't be ingested ninety
minutes before you wake up, because it means you crack
harder in the afternoons.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
If you look for that. I got to get up early,
so it's fine if I crash later. I'll go to
sleep early.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Well, I guess if you can plan a nap, but
I mean, you got a lot of afternoon radio to do,
so I just want to make.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Sure you're awake.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I'll just put on the fourteen minute version of free Bird.
You could sleep fifteen to fourteen minutes in the studio, Paul,
that's going on.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Instead of setting your intentions for the day, you go
online to look at what everybody else is.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Saying to set no intentions.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I have no attentions.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I have no intentions. I just want to I just
want to survive the day. That's all I want to
do to day to day.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I'm I kind of relate with you, Shannon. I am
just such a zombie in the morning. These people are
saying you need to exercise, you need to meditate, write
your to do list down. I am just trying to
get up and get to get to work. And you know,
for a time I tried the cold plunges and I'd
like to do it again at some point. I just
feel like I'm slacking when I see these people's morning.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Here's the thing, though, if you're writing down your to
do list in the morning, you've already lost I've already
got my calendar set up days ahead, like I already
know what I'm doing. Like, if you ask me right now,
what are you doing next? Uh, you know, next Thursday,
next Wednesday, whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I've already got it on my calendar. So I'm ready
to go.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Do you plan your outfit the night before?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
No, this is no lay it out like you're going
to school. Maybe your mom's picked out your outfits.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
This is not third grade again, I everything is random,
Like I just go to the closet.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Okay, that looks good.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Haven't worn that in a while. Let's throw that on. Okay,
there's a hat, here's my shorts, or.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
One sock, here's another. They don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
We've already discussed it. That's the most important part of
the morning is getting the matching socks.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Oh so that's when you draw the line, is when
you don't have matching socks.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
And everything leads to the next.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
So if I don't have the coffee, I'll be too
groggy to even be able to pick through the socks.
But the coffee gives me the energy to pick through
and find the right socks. So this there's a method
to the madness of my morning routine.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Well, it sounds like you need to rewire your morning
routine a little bit, Shannon. Maybe start with a cold plunge,
not baby some yoga. No start b fifteen minutes of yoga,
maybe five minutes of self reflection.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Dude, I come here and I sit here in a
chair for eight hours a day. I don't need to
do yoga. I don't need to be limber to sit
in a chair.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And oh, you are so wrong. You are so wrong.
You more than anybody needs yoga sitting in an office
chair all day. I mean, you're gonna have bad pasture.
You're gonna be leaning over like the hunchback of notre
day to go from that.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Too late for that. I need a good carol practor
is what I need.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
That's that's a great ideally after carrying you for the
last three years, and you stop it.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Stop it right now. But look, I mean, so there
are some things that I've gotten better at the mornings.
I avoid the snooze button. That's something that is detrimental
to the day. You snooze channing and it's like your
mind goes back to sleep.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Never hit the snooze button. No way.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I put my phone out of reach to where like
my when my alarm goes off, and usually I don't
even need it, but if it goes off, I have
to physically get out of bed to get I don't
have my phone right next to me where I can
just reach over and hit the button.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, there's our alarm clocks that like will like roll
away from you when they start going off to make
sure that you get up.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Out of bed because some people were lazy. You have
if you have a look, here's the thing. If you're
one of these people who has an alarm clock that
has wheels on it that tries to escape you from
hitting the sleep button, you need to reevaluate your own life. Like, yes,
I mean you can't get out of bed. You got
hit a snooze button so many times that you've got
an alarm that literally runs from you so you can't
(11:22):
hit it again.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I'm like a dog hearing a doorbell when I hear
my alarm clock going off. If I just hear that
noise in the wild or like in the middle of
the day, it just completely disturbs me, like it's like
I'm waking up for the first time again. Other people
will put on the nuclear launch alarm for their alarm clock.
You know what I'm talking about, Shannon, like some of
the loudest things you've ever heard.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
It.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Stop me if I've told you this before. I think
I have.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
But I had a buddy, really good friend, who is
such a deep sleeper. He's got one of these apps
on his phone where it goes off and it sounds
like World War three is about to start. Not only that,
in order to stop the alarm, you have to figure
out you have to solve a math equation to turn
off the app.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I've heard about these, but I don't think you've told me.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
So you know, he went with me on vacation one
time and he was like way in the other room
and I'm in my bedroom with the door shut, and
He's got this phone right next to his head and
I could hear it all the way from the other
side of the condo. It woke me up, and I
was like, what is going on in here? Like I
wasn't aware that he had this alarm. It scared me.
(12:28):
I got shot straight out of bed and ran in there,
like what's going on? OK, it's his alarm and he
wouldn't wake up. I was like, oh, he was still
sleeping through it, even though it's right next to his head.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I had to check his pulse to make sure he
was still alive.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
And then he wakes up and has to start solving
like you know, a B squared minus the square room.
Now I'm like, what in the world, Like you're telling me, like,
this is what you go through every day.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
You have to solve long division before you can spoke
from your alarm.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Okay, I hate that, Like I would not. I mean,
even like simple stuff. I would probably struggle with a
little bit right when you get up up in the
morning like that to turn off the alarm, so you your
eyes are pretty much still closed at that point.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Not mine.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
I couldn't figure out the math equation. It just kept
going on for like five minutes.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I had somebody's alarm go off in a hotel room
that was next to mine before I was about to
take the thing to throw it in the ocean, and
it only took me about thirty forty five minutes. So
I started beating on their door saying, you're damn alarm
clocks off.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
So yeah, I still remember that vividly. So I'm glad
you know, Shannon, you're a lot like me. You know
these millionaires morning routine. They get up at four am,
they do an hour of reading, and then they get
in the cold plunge and then they go work out
for an hour and a half. I ain't got time
for that, and I don't think a lot of us do.
But I'm sure everybody does a little something in the
morning to help them get through their day. We'd love
(13:45):
to hear from you. Eight five nine two eight oh
two two eight seven Texas five oh two two six
five six sixty five six. Like actress Jessica Biel, who
admits that she eats in the shower.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Eats in the what eats in the eating? What like
eating frosted flakes in the shower.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Sometimes I'll have cereal in the shower, no way, or
yogurt and fruit.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Why why are you eating in the shower?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Okay, I don't have a lot of time. I'm multitasking
and I don't prioritize my food sometimes. She mentioned this
in twenty twenty, but it's regaining steam after she mentioned
it on a podcast recently.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
That is just strange. I've never heard of anybody eating
in a shower. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Besides, I guess Kramer with his salad in the shower
when he would just you know, wash his his vegetables there. Yeah,
but cereal in the shower. Shannon like, okay, coffee, I get, okay,
you need to have your coffee. Sure we can go
there now.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
No no, no, no, no no. Why are you drinking
coffee in a shower? How are you showering? If you're
drinking coffee.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Oh, you can put it in a travel cup and
just put it right next on like a shelf next
to you. You have a shelf in your shower.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Okay, all right, all right, So we're asking people for
strange morning routines.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I guess it sounds like.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I don't know. I'm just trying to work through my
life here, Shannon, Like I I've got a busy fall
coming up, and I've got to change my mornings a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Well, I could tell you why I'm not having a
cheeseburger while I'm showering. This is Would you have some cereal?
Maybe the water gets into your milk. I don't eat cereal.
I'm not a child. Maybe some fresh fruit, but uh,
you know, energize you for the day, some fruity pebbles
while I'm showering. Get out of here.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Okay, all right, well we'll take a break. We'll be
a right back. Much more chaos. IR appreciate on the way.
Uh it is Tuesday, August fifth, and we'll be right back.
Welcome back. It is the show before the show, the
KOSR Morning Show, talking about our morning routines a little
bit eight five nine two eighth two two eight seven
Texas on the text line five h two two six
(15:43):
five six six five six, where one person says, I
have a late start today. Listening to these morning habits
are stressing me out since I'm still in bed. What
about shower beers, Jana, I think shower beers are completely acceptable,
but I wouldn't do it before work. No in the morning, No,
more like an afternoon. Maybe a night shower.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
If you're drinking a beer in the shower before you
go to work, that could be a sign you might
have a problem.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Call one a hunter gambler.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Not in the mornings before you go
to work, but afternoon, maybe after you mow the lawn.
Nothing wrong with a little shower beer.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I don't know. I hear you say that.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I know that's a common thing, but I don't think
I've ever had a shower beer.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Oh well it started into college for me, so, I
mean that was kind of a It was definitely a thing.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
I'm more of a like, you know, let's let's get
a shower then have a beer.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Well you're not an afternoon shower guy, are you. You're
more of a morning shower.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Well yeah, if it's on the weekend, let's say I
just cut the grass, then yeah, I'll go.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I'll go go, you know, get an afternoon shower.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
But yeah, nothing like the after mow the lawn.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
But here's the thing about more in the lawn.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I don't wait till the lawns mode before I can
just sit there in my backyard and have a beer
while I'm mowing the lawn.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
That's how you do it.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Oh you're mowing in beering, Yeah, at the same time.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yeah, it's in my backyard.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
It's all said, a ride mower or a push mower. Well,
I'm sound like you want to answer there.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
I don't know, like somebody's gonna go, well, that's a
d ua, Like really, I'm in my backyard riding a lawnmower.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Shut up. I don't want to hear.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Though.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
There's always gonna be somebody going, you can't be drinking
and driving.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I can't. If I'm in my backyard. I think we're good.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, No, I think you're fine there. And as we
learned many years ago, Matt didn't know what a zero
turn lawnmower was. If you have one of those, then
you're doing something right, like you know what you're doing
cutting grass zero a zero turn MOWERU chan, you told
me during the break that there's a fake photo of
Otega Away in a boot.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
There's this photo going around and people are asking me.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
About it, and it appears to be a picture of
Oway in a boot. Now again, I don't know what
to believe anymore because I see people responding going, no,
that's a fake picture. It very well could be. And
I'm to the point where I'm gonna give you the
Caliperi answer, I haven't seen them. Until I see somebody
in person with my own I'm not gonna believe anything, because,
(18:02):
like I said, AI has gotten completely out of control.
So you see stuff like that, maybe it's real, maybe
it's not. I can't really give you an answer because I,
again Cali Perry, haven't seen him.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I haven't seen take it away in person. So if
anybody has, they can tell you, But I can't.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I don't know, do you know, I don't people saying
it's a fake picture.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
It sounds like the Jerry still out when it so do.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
They know it's a fake picture?
Speaker 6 (18:28):
You know?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah, maybe they've been at practice, They've talked to Goose Givens.
He's given them the insight. I doubt that. Maybe I
doubt that everybody that has an Internet connection believes that
they can have an opinion on something. And and you
know there's like, you know, accounts that like purposely try
to trick you, like like the Sham's accounts or the
fake Adam Schefter. They're just tweeting fake news just to
see who can they sool.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
So I'm not gonna get on here and start spreading
rumors and saying that always in a boot because it
could be a fake picture.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I don't know. I really don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
You can tell that the video I posted was fake
this morning?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Chand what was that? That was weird?
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Man?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
What is that? Where did you even find that?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I don't know, it was just something that popped up
on the for you page, Shannon. It's a dog like
eating somebody's face off for you.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Okay, well that says a lot about your algorithm and
what you've been watching if it thinks it's for you
to see a dog eat somebody's face off, which is
not even a real It's like the dog bites the
woman's face, but her face turns to salad.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah, this sounds stupid.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
AI is man like talking about AI. This is how like,
and there's people that will believe anything there is.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I was startled the first time I saw that video,
and uh, you know, it might be something that we
see more and more of as AI gets more realistic.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Yeah, well well that's not even realistic. That's just dumb,
but not realistic yet.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Yeah, it's scary though, it really is. I was seeing
something earlier today where people were taking old pictures and
you can make the picture turned like look like come
to life, to life, yeah, and talk like somebody's like, hey,
here's a picture of my grandma from one hundred years ago,
and it's black and white picture and then you run
it through this AI thing and now it's in color
(20:09):
and it makes it look like it's a five second
video of them moving and talking.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I think that's kind of cool. Do you not like that?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
You think that it walks the line. That's for sure.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
It is kind of cool in a way because you
get to see a picture come to life.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
And it's also kind of creepy.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
And I'm telling you man like people are already using
AI for all the wrong reasons, and it's just gonna
get worse.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
It's not gonna get any better.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Like you remember, the cat is out of the bag,
the toothpastes out of the tube. You can't put it
back in.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
It sounds like we're talking about Nil and the transfer portal.
Now now we're talking about him. We're talking about AI.
But you remember we did a story about the funeral.
The guy spoke at his own funeral and they used
AI to come up with what.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
He would say or whatever it was at his own funeral.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, at his own funeral.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Okay, I'm dead.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
He came out and talked to everybody at his own funeral.
So who knows what funerals will look like fifty one
hundred years from now. But Shannon, I come to life

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Running a little late this morning. I think I'm gonna
bring my cereal into the shower. I mean, why not
save a little time.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
That you could you could do that.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Sorry to be a little yogurt.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Sorry I was sorry. I was answering a call there.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Oh you're good. You got three things to do at
the time at the same time. When we come back
We've got to take a break here. We got our
heartbreak weights for no Man. When we come back, we'll
talk a little bit about the march madness in the
NCAA tournament. Also a fan being picked out of the
game at the Portland Pickles game and what happened next
might be good enough for a movie script. It's Shannon
(22:16):
the Dude and Billy Rutlige. We'll be right back here
on the KSR pre Show. Welcome Back. It is a
Tuesday edition of the KSR pre Show Billy Rutlige and
Shannon the Dude. It'll be Matt and the guys that
will hand it off to at ten am. A lot
of optimistic football talk yesterday from Matt and Drew Cutter
(22:38):
Bowley looking good, you know, don't. We're going to tell
Shannon this. He's already said six and six this this season.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
For this Show's optimism suddenly coming from I mean, I'm
just saying a couple of months ago, nobody we might
win three games, we're gonna lose to Toledo. Now everybody's
talking about winning six games and going to a bowl.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, don't take your victory lap, ye, Shannon. I mean
they haven't even played games. Everybody's undefeated right now.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
No, no, I get it. I'm just saying, make up
your mind? Are you in? Are you out?
Speaker 5 (23:07):
All right?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Are you in or are you out? Do you think they're
gonna get the six? Or are you gonna stay three?
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Now?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
You sound like inkybys here asking me if are you in?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
That's right?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah, that's a great song. Probably most people don't know it,
but it's it's a good song.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It's a good deep cut that I mean you get
and uh, you know, we'll tell uh inside jokes here
on the pre show. That's what we do. But speaking
of fall camps, I want to ask you this, Jannon
Fair or foul here? Tennessee fans are crazy and so
crazy that the UT media team is blurring out the
quarterback who threw an interception in a fall camp video.
(23:39):
Somebody online said it just means too much, which I
kind of liked. But can you blur out the quarterback
so the fans won't go after them? That's a little crazy,
isn't I think?
Speaker 5 (23:48):
So?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Like I fans could figure it out. You don't think
they know?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Right?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Like, we're not stupid. We can figure out who the
quarterback is. I don't think it's that hard to figure out.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
But we are talking about Tennessee fans. If you remember
when egg Schiano was about to be hired by the university,
they just pretty much had a revolt. And I mean
there were some details that maybe you could say, you know,
it was valid for them to do that. But you've
never seen a fan base do that before, have you?
Speaker 3 (24:12):
No? No, of course not. You never seen a fan
base like that, right.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Huh what are you getting at?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Nothing? Nothing at all?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Oh okay, I'm just saying sound like there's a hint
at sarcasm.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
No, not at all.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
You know, Tennessee fans, though they can bring their mustard
bottles and their batteries and throw them out on the field,
they are the absolute worst college fan base, would you agree.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yes, yes, football Tennessee fans, or maybe just include basketball too,
just because they puffed their chest out and yet have
never made a Final Four.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
But anyway, that's Tennessee fans for you, though.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I mean, have you ever heard of a fan base
licking the car of one of their star athletes?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, I have?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Actually, Oh yeahs that's I forgot.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Shoot, well, you know.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
People say that Kentucky fan. The fan base is annoy
I would say, I'd say very passionate, not annoying.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
But they're loud, right, I mean there's a lot of them.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, you know, Bobby Bones even had them at number
one on the list. If we want to go back
and revisit that, I would say though, Tennessee fans are
basically the Philadelphia Eagle fans of college football.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
They are the absolute worst.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, yeah, I think they're up there. I mean I
would want to throw in like Ohio State fans as well.
If you know an Ohio State fan in your life,
you know that they're going to tell you about every
single time.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
There's a guy down in there's a guy down in
Florida in my condo complex and he drives around in
his golf cart and it's covered with Buckeye stuff. It's like,
all right, let me guess you're a fan of Ohio State.
Would have guessed that.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
You know, they're watching all that Cleveland Brown's football, you know,
and Columbus isn't far away, so they've they've got to
they got to pick and choose their wins.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
When you when you say the when you have to
say the in front of it. That is like little
Man complex the Yeah, is there any other schools do that?
Any teams, any anybody that does the before their name
like that? Besides like pretentious people, Well there's like the U, right,
but it's not the all right, Like I'm not shanning
the dude.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I'm sharing the dude. It's differently.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Yeah, maybe, yeah, exactly. That would be like if I
put a the in front of my name and then had.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Two you don't want to you don't want to us
the in the middle of your name, Shannon the dude,
you want to do it before? That's right, all right,
Let's go to the phones. A five nine two o
two two eight seven. Misty is on the line. Good morning, Misty,
Good morning. All right.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Look I'm playing mom here. Okay, why do you all
not fold your socks together when you get them out
of the dryer?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Driving me crazy, pure laziness.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
It's so much easier just when you get him out
of the dryer, put them together, fold them over, and
guess what. You put them in your drawer and you
always have the pair that you want.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
You're not wrong, you're absolutely right, but it's just it's
pure laziness on my part. I just want to get
it done, get it back to where it goes, and
deal with that later.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I don't want to deal with it in that moment.
That's the reason I don't.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I just dump it out of the launch.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
On the other hands, on the other hand, is just
a psycho path and we'll put on any two socks
regardless of the color, or it doesn't matter to him
at all.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Well, look, I'm like Drew at the reds game. I
struggle with the match game.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I don't want to play match game every time I
do laundry. But that sounds crazy.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
Yes, I still sold my husband's socks, and if you
all bring me your socks, I will match them and
phote them and bring them.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Back to you, all right, Friday, or at Shady Raising
Legs bringing my sock drawer Friday remote.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Misty can fold the match the socks while we're doing
the shrew.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
I can do that, all right, y'all, have a good day,
all right, thank.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
You, Missy.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
That's good stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
In theory. It's easy to just match him up when
you do your laundry. But it doesn't work out like
that always.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
No, no, no, You know, when you get old, when
you become an adult and don't have mom to do
him for you. You got to do them yourself. Yeah, actually
have an all new appreciation for mom.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
No, Yeah, you're right. Somebody that I have a lot
of appreciation for and I want to give a shout
out to is Brian mile Hm. After twenty seven years
in television at WYMT and WKYT, it was announced yesterday
he's leaving to become the KHSAA Communications and Media Relations Director.
And you know, I don't think we've had Brian on
as a KSR pre show co host. We've had many
(28:38):
people and Brian is not one of them. But he
has always given me the time of day. A really
kind person and if you know anything about Brian, you
know he loves high school sports and I think he's
going to excel at that position. Shannon, you talk to
a lot of people for maybe ten seconds at a
time when you interview or put people on the Tom
Lead Show. Is Brian ever somebody that you've talked to? Oh?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Yeah, yeah, for you know, just a few seconds here
or there. Yeah, but yep, I'm definitely aware of who
Brian is. Wish him the best. Twenty seven years is
a long time to stay in one profession, so I
wish him well and I think he'll do great in
that role.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Well, you're getting close, right, I mean, what do you
I mean you're pushing twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Oh I'm already passed twenty Actually August, we're in August.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
This is twenty one years for me now. Ah well,
happy one month anniversary. Twenty one years at iHeart Radio.
Is that's right?
Speaker 3 (29:25):
And you say you've never had a chance to have
Brian Mileham on the pre show, Don't worry. I've got
plenty of vacation coming up, so you've got plenty of
opportunities to get Brian on the pre show.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I think you should do that as a matter of fact.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Yes, you know, speaking of opportunities at a young age,
Shannon the Dude took advantage of it as an intern
at iHeartRadio. I believe there's internships available with the Kentucky
Sports Radio website right now. So if you are a
college student and would like to cover the volleyball team
or several other UK athletics, this would be a great
place to start your career. We've seen Maggie Davis, Daniel Hager,
(29:58):
countless other writers to go on to do so great
things starting off in an intern spot, and so that
position is open. Should maybe you need to do a
little writing for the website.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Maybe you think you think I should do some writing.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, let's see what you got.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
No, No, I think I think I'll stick to what
I do. I'll stay in my lane here. But you know,
internships are something that really I feel like there's not
as many of anymore, and probably because a lot of
those are now having to be paid internships.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Right.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
You know, when I did internships, it was for some
credits for school that when I was at Bellerman and
that was it.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
That's all you get paid. But now I feel like.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I don't know if it's a law or just companies
feel like they should pay their interns. Good thing is
now for most internships they're paid.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, it's some people see it as like a respect thing,
like I'm not going to work for you for nothing.
But that's how I had to get my start.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Yeah, that's how you pay your dues man, right, But
it's you know, look.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
I think it's entitled to this new generation.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Well I wasn't gonna say it, but if you come
out of college and you just expect that people should.
But you know, how are you immediately? You still got
to pay your dues. I still believe in that, and
you know, unfortunately some people with the Paylor dues a
lot longer than others.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah, out of college, I take a part time job,
move back in with my parents, pick up a second
job to supplement the job that I really want to do,
which is the part time job at iHeartRadio. I mean,
if you want it enough, you can figure it out.
But there are some circumstances that prevent others.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
But here's what I think most people probably don't even
realize about me. I was, you know, I said, I'm
been here for twenty one years. I was part time
for the first ten years. Ten Yeah, that's crazy. Ten
years part time work.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
So I mean after a while, you got to think,
do you have a future here or did you always
know that you were going to break through?
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Well, I mean, I think you got to stick with
something if it's what you want, if it's your passion,
you don't just duck out because you're not achieving it yet. Like,
you'll get there, you know. I think if you stick
with it, you'll get to where you want. To be,
and you know, it took me ten half of my
radio career. I was part time and working another somewhere else,
so I was stuck with it, and you know, eventually
(32:04):
got full time.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
So that's just to find a new job after the
college pitching thing didn't work out, really me?
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah, yeah, Well I knew it wasn't going to the majors.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I mean, there's a there's a whole nother world of
minor league. You could have gotten that bus and gotten
to Frisco, but uh one meant to be for Shannon.
Let's go back to the phones here, dude. Freebird is
on the line. What's up, Freebird?
Speaker 5 (32:26):
Hey guys, A mismatch that doesn't show is not a
mismatch pill all right?
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Well maybe for you, but for me, I still know
it's a mismatch, and I cannot do it even if
I know, Like the no show socks, you couldn't tell
unless you're just staring at my socks that they're not matched.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
But I know that, and that's what matters to me.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Well, a couple of things you told me about didn't
running out of chips, man, It's nothing like getting a
big thing at cheese and put some alapenios in it.
Just eat it with a spoon.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Oh wow, See, I don't know about that. Do you
do that, Free.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Bird, I've done it before.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
M Billy. I don't think I could do it without chips.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I've got to have the chips. That's the whole point
of the dish. I mean, if you're just eating cheese
and jalapeno's, that's that's something completely different. That's like cereal.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
The guy with the Ohio State, all these Ohio States fans,
all you gotta do is bring up them one world
the last four or five years, and that's Michigan.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Yep, they take it over that hump. You're right, that's true,
a little sensitive subject for them.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Thanks free Bird. Good to hear from you. All right man.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Speaking of Ohio State, I believe they're the reigning champions,
Is that correct, Shannon? Yeah, Okay. The first coaches poll
came out the top twenty five in Ohio State is
number two. They have Texas as the number one team
in the country. Little arch manning hype Steve Sarkeesian. Uh,
it feels like half of Kentucky's schedule is in this
top twenty five to two Shannon Georgia at four, Ole
(34:01):
Miss at fifteen, Florida at seventeen, Tennessee at eighteen, South
Carolina at thirteen. It's We've talked about the schedule for
a while, but we get the coach's poll and we
just see how many top tiered pop opponents Kentucky's going
to take on this.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
It's gonna be tough. But again, you're in the SEC.
You know this.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
We know that the SEC is not going to suddenly
become a weak conference.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
It's the best in college football.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
So you go out there and, as Mark Stoops would say,
you get to strap it on and go hit somebody
in the mouth. And I hope that this team is
gonna really again, we talked about it so many times.
The offensive line, I think is going to be the
absolute key to this season. If the offensive line holds
up and as good as advertised that, I think this
team has a legitimate chance of getting to six.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
If the offensive line falls.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Apart, if we have any injury at key injuries, then
that's when I become really concerned.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
You said earlier in the show that you don't get
a lot of food at the Louisville office. Is that right?
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Why, I just a little confused. I got a text
here from somebody that is a photo of wild eggs
that is at the office too. No what, and that
you guys had McAllister's yesterday. I didn't have McAllister's yesterday.
And that everyone says it's a pretty regular thing at
the Louisville office.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
That is not No.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
I mean we have like ramen, noodles and stuff normally,
and some like peanuts.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
I mean, I can't reveal my source here, but I'm
getting photos of there's plenty of food in the Louisville.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Okay, well, all right, well let's take a break because
I'm gonna go get some wild eggs.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Okay, all right, we did take break. Shane's gotta go
get some food. Yeah, We'll be right back here on
the ksrpre show. Welcome back. It's our final segment here
on a Tuesday of Billy and the Dude KSUR pre Show.
I got a couple of news notes that we need
to get to before the show's over. But before we do,
(35:49):
let's take one more call. I believe Matt is on
the line. Good morning, Matt, what's up?
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 6 (35:55):
Guys?
Speaker 4 (35:56):
I got a question for shying, And how's your pump
impact doing and are you meditating in it?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Well, I'm not meditating in it, but the pumpkin patch
is doing well.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
I got some big pumpkins. I should take a picture
and maybe tweet it out later on. But are you
suggesting that if I meditate in the garden that the
pumpkins will grow even bigger?
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Yes, sir, I take your shoes off, socks, and it's
called grounding. You put your beat on the ground and
just sit there and just relax and just enjoy what
you what you create, what you grow, what you was growing.
And I'm proud of if you, man, I'm proud of you.
That's awesome that you grow big pumpkins.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I appreciate it. Yeah. I might have one for you
to have.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
A good Yeah, thank you, Matt.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
Yeah, hey man, that's awesome. All right, y'all have a
good nights.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Are you too?
Speaker 5 (36:43):
All right?
Speaker 2 (36:43):
I like Matt, Yeah, I do too, always.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Meditating out in his garden. The pumpkins are getting big,
They're getting massive at this point.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Well, it sounds like the perfect addition to your morning routine,
a little grounding in the morning. It's a meditating in
the pumpkin patch. I mean before it gets zero degrees
outside in December. I think that's the maybe what you
should do tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
I'll give you a pumpkin up update later on today.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
All right, tell me how the meditation goes to.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Yeah, we were.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Talking about the you know, having a bowl of cereal
in the shower. Jake writes and and says, you know,
you have the American Eagle commercial with Sidney Sweeney. We
should have a Shane in the Dude commercial with him
in the shower eating some Freddy pebbles.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
What do you think about that? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
I don't know that wouldn't make anybody want to buy
fruity pebbles if they saw me in a shower eating it.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
No, but you can count on me to be the
fake outrage, the TikToker that says that it's Nazi propaganda
for her to be in American Eagle.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Gens Man, Some people will complain about anything. It doesn't
matter what it is, you know.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Yeah, you're right about that. One thing that we've complained
about a lot is the NCAA looking to expand the
NCAA tournament.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Okay, guilty, yep, I've complained about that.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
There you go, But well, they voted on it yesterday
and they will not expand it yet. It'll stay at
sixty eight teams or the next season, all.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Right, right, right, right for this season? But what about
for the next season though.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
So I don't think the next season will change either.
But they're looking at I guess the season after next,
So by twenty twenty seven, he will either remain at
sixty eight or there is a growing I guess movement
to go to seventy six.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Seventy well was seventy I thought it was seventy two.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
No, they're skipping over seventy two. It seems like a
more plausible option is either sixty eight or seventy six
moving and.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
You know what will happen at then they'll go to
ninety six. Ninety six has been a number that's been
talked about for several years now, and going from sixty
eight to ninety six, so I guess they're just gonna
gradually step it up. But I wouldn't be surprised if
you know, ten fifteen years from now, we're talking about
ninety six teams in a.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Turn now, I know, like, where does they well, they stop. Yeah,
it's gonna be in somewhere. Yeah, but it's all about
television dollars and Greg sankei, the most powerful guy in
college athletics, is beating the drum for this. So you know,
I think we'd be naive to think that this doesn't happen.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Right, Oh yeah, Yeah, it's gonna happen eventually. You know,
usually when somebody brings up something like this, it doesn't
happen with a snap of your fingers. But you know
that something in the in the background that's going to
come at some point in the future. So I don't
think it's a matter of if. I think it's a
matter of when it happens, and it's.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
A tidal wave that'll hit us all eventually. A couple
former Cats with some signings. Daron Fox signs a four year,
two hundred and twenty nine million dollars MAX contract with
the Spurs. Congratulations to dearon Fox getting paid. A lot
of Kentucky guys getting paid, whether it be Shay Gillis, Alexander,
Daron Fox, Devin Booker, these guys are making money. And
(39:27):
then also Ansley Almanor signs with a team in Finland, Shannon.
You know, you talk about going overseas, there's a lot
of different places you can go. Finland is one of them.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Yeah, that would be definitely on the list of places
I would like to go to. I don't I don't
know if i'd want to play basketball over there, make it,
you know, live there, but it's go hang.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
I would definitely like to go visit there for sure.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Yeah. So wishing the best of luck to Daron Fox
and Ansley Almanor. A final story before we go, I
got to talk about this fan at the Portland Pickles game.
The Portland Pickles play in the West Coast League League,
which is a collegiate summer league Wooden bat League.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Shannon, you've heard those before course. Yeah, we had a
Wooden bat league when I was in college. We were
one of the very few Wooden bat leagues out there.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Out of college. They asked me to be a play
by play man of a Wooden Bat League team in Atlanta,
and they just weren't paying me enough to do it.
But that was a billion another life. Well, they had
a fan appreciation night over the weekend, and so part
of the gimmick was they picked one fan out of
the stands to take an at bat. So they bring
out one guy and he ends up hitting a home
run in his at bat. His name is Dixie. He
(40:33):
played D three baseball back in the day. But the
spotlight was on, he got his moment and he took
it yard. Talk about a dream scenario made me think
of us at the Legends game and instead of a
first pitch, they say, hey, how would you like to
take a swing?
Speaker 2 (40:45):
So what level was this? What level ball was this? Again?
Speaker 1 (40:48):
The collegiate Summer League wooden bat League, So it's college kids,
it's still the summer before they play at their respective school.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Are you talking about what a great story for this
this hitter. I'm thinking about the poor pitcher that actually
gave up the hit up from a guy that was
over in the stands just a few minutes ago. You know,
as a picture I'm looking at from that angle, Well,
I think it's a bad look on the picture.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
It certainly is. I mean, that guy is getting crap
from every teammate that he has.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Dude, I think you got to kick him off the team.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
After that, the fan got a one day contract, so
for their next game, I believe he is going to
be playing with the Portland Pickles. So you know, seize
your opportunities, folks and start with a good morning routine.
It's everything you can learn on a one episode of
the KSR pre try.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
You should take an opportunity to get on DraftKings and
sign up as a new customer. About five dollars, get
two hundred dollars in bonus bets. That's with promo code
KSR only on DraftKings.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
The crown is yours.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Unfortunately, we're out of time. We'll have to get you
next or tomorrow. Eric apologies about that, but that's going
to do it for us. KSR is next for Shannon
the Dude. I am Billy Rutledge. This has been the
KSR pre Show. We'll talk tomorrow.
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show.
Today is Tuesday, August fifth. I am Billy Rutledge along
with Shannon the Dude. You can give us calling the
Clark's Puppy Shop phone line. That's eight five nine two
eight oh two two eight seven. Text us at five
oh two two six five six six five six be
our whiskey thief. Call today and as always, the KASR
(00:21):
Pre Show is brought to you by Italics Fine Italian
Dining in Lexington, Kentucky. Will they will not serve you
a hot dog without a bun or I guess, chips
without cheese. The disaster from Bristol Motor Speedway we talked
a little bit about yesterday. Shannon the Dudeh's in Louisville.
What's up man, Good morning?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
How are you doing? Great?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Manah, I don't think they're gonna be serving you a
hot dog at all at Italics.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
It's fine Italian dining.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Unless you think a hot dog is fine fine Italian dining.
You and I have different I guess thoughts on what
fine Italian would be If you're.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
You're running for a hot dog, Yeah, you're spot on.
I just could not imagine you know, getting into that
rained out game, standing in a concession line for an
hour and twenty minutes and they get up there, they
just hand you a dog, no bud, It seems illegal.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Who does wants cheese? Like here, here's a tub of cheese.
Have fun with that, Like, what are you gonna do
with that? Just dip your finger in there and eat
some cheese? Like yeah, I don't know how you screw
that up or really don't.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Like that's a huge failure.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
It's not like it's the first time that MLB has
tried to do something outside the box, right, but maybe
not anything to that extent. You would think you would
have all your eyes dotted and your te's crossed though,
and you had all season to get ready for that,
and you completely fumbled the ball. What it does that
it went right between their legs.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I'll eat chips without cheese, but like just giving me
a thing of cheese, Shannon, like you said, like, what what.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Am I gonna do with that? Yeah, especially when it's raining.
Now it's pouring down rain.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I've got a bucket of cheese in my hands and
it's pouring down rain. The cheese is getting thinned out
because it's watered down. What an absolute debacle.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
You know, they were so worried about getting that field
inside the infield and they just didn't take care of
anything else.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I guess so I forgot about the details. Man, Everything
is all about the details. You can have a great plan,
but if you don't have the details worked out, it
doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
It's going to fall apart.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Well, I'm glad you brought up details because GM Billy
may have made a little bit of a mistake this
morning already. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Well, you make mistakes before you even get out of bed,
don't you.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Well, and that's that's a bigger theme that I do
want to talk about. But you know, I'm getting coffee
and one of the salespeople come up to me and
they're like, they asked me last week when of the
guys going to be in the studio, and I'm like,
you know, I'm not sure. We kind of figure out
Sunday night when we decide these things. And Matt's actually
doing the show from Louisville today, right, some of the
guys are coming in. That's why you know you're gonna
(02:41):
get to see some people in person actually today, Shannon, believe.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
It or not okay, So their ectisodes, Ryan and Drew
are actually coming to Loivell.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
You're telling me, yeah, yeah, so and so Matt Matt's
going to be there and social Occa. You know, I'm
not sure. Things kind of just changed last minute, but
somebody in the sales staff was trying to coordinate a
food drop here at the office. You know, gold Star
wanted to bring over some coney Shannon, some dogs with
buns and some cheese and chili. And I was like, yeah,
(03:08):
I'm going to get back to you. You know, normally
they're here on most days, but this week there wasn't.
So I failed to communicate, Shannon. Imagine that that the
guys a communications company that doesn't communicate. I've failed to
communicate that the guys were not going to be in
studio today. So we've got gold Star for twenty people
coming into the studio this morning.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I don't see a problem with that. That's just more
Coney's for you. I mean, they could always redirect those
and send them over to Louisville. We would gladly have
the Cony's here. That's the thing about the food drops too.
Serves them right by the way. Because I'm always in
a situation to where the guys and likes it to
always get food dropped off to them, free food, free conyes,
free donuts, free this, free that, And I don't ever
(03:49):
get anything. So I think that it's good for once
that nobody gets anything today, except but.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You get like the potlucks, like they have Thanksgiving dinner
in the Louisville office. We don't get that. In Lexington.
We do like a secret sana. But like you guys
have like holidays and like celebrations.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Oh yeah, we get Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
We get one day out three hundred and sixty five days,
we get one day.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
And you're saying like we're privileged or something over here.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Well, so we got like, you know, eight to ten
salespeople here, Shandon. So it sounds like, you know, I
may be doing my own nine nine to nine challenge
here with all this gold star that's going to be
coming to the office.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
He's eight to ten people, twenty dogs, two apiece. The math,
the math maths for me, I don't think it's that
hard to figure out.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I'm gonna have to put
a band in on and put on Eye of the
Tiger or something. But at least they'll have buns with him.
I hope could not imagine not eating it. But Shannon,
you kind of alluded to something I wanted to get
to in the first segment. There's some stuff we'll talk
about today. The premiere of Hard Knocks is tonight with
some of the new Kentucky guys. The NCAA voted made
(04:46):
a ruling about March Madness that we'll discuss. We've got
a lot of little things that we'll get to today.
But Shannon, I wanted to ask you something is somebody
that has put me on to coffee. You've already changed
my life, right, You've already talked to me start my morning's.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I'm glad you finally acknowledged that I've changed your life
for the better. Well glad, I'm you know, yeah, I
mean it was and that just happened in what two
or three years?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Imagine what would happen in like ten.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Years if I just keep doing the show with you, Shannon,
who knows the type of man that I'll be.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I'm just making decade. I'm making you.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I'm making Billy better. That's what I'm doing. We're building
back better with Billy, building back one of these is
gonna stick. I'm trying to use our past two presidential catchphrases.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
They had big Blue Kazoo not stick either.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
In the early day, I believe that I didn't catch
on that was real the greatest. That was genius. Everybody
bring a big blue kazoo and blow it on.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh, I'm tired of Mississippi State cheating, Shannon, That's all
it was. I was just tired of the damn cowbells.
But anyway, the show's gotten a lot better since then.
But Shannon, uh, you know, changes people's lives every day.
One thing he did to me was got me on coffee.
Has helped me in the mornings be more awake and lively,
even though I'll still misspeak like Ryan all the time.
But Shannon, like, if you look at people online that
(05:58):
say that their success, these high achieving people, it's all
about the morning. It's all about winning the morning and
what you can do in the first hour of your
day to set yourself up for success. And I wanted
to ask the busiest man in radio, the guy that
has six shows, the guy that is you know, the
OVW self acclaimed radio heavyweight title, what your morning routine
(06:21):
is because these these people, you know, they're working out
for forty five minutes to an hour, they're meditating, you know,
they're drinking large amounts of water. There seems to be
a I don't know, a profile of high achieving people
and what they do in the morning. So, Shannon, I
want to ask you, what is your morning routine? Are
you anything like these people are saying that they're doing
these motivational speakers at six am?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
No, I'm not working out at all. What I do?
I get up.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I immediately grab my phone off the charger, I go
straight for the coffee maker, fire up the old Q
egg or whatever the thing is.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Like, you're not supposed to drink coffee within ninety minutes
of waking up, Shannon, by the way.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Well that's the whole point of waking up, Like, okay,
that's that's ridiculous, because that's why you need coffee, is
to wake up. If I don't drink coffee ninety minutes later,
I'm gonna figure it out.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
On my own, all right.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So I don't need coffee ninety minutes later. I need
it immediately in my veins. Inject the coffee into my veins.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That's what I do. Uh No, I've got a It's
not a cu rig, it's a lore. You know what
a lore is? I do. Okay, so that's what I got.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
So I fire up the lore, put the pod in,
grab the hazelnut creamer out of the out of the
refrigerator staple, fix up my coffee. And then as soon
as the coffee is ready, I go right to the
man cave. I turn on the news. I see what's
going on in the world. I drink my coffee. I
come back in, get a shower, brush my teeth, throw
on some clothes, and it's on the way to the
radio station.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
That's so what I'm hearing is phone coffee and then
TV is the first thing that.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
You can feed TV. Shower on the way.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Okay. That's There were people out there that would say
that you're setting yourself up for failure every day. Shit,
that's what you think. The coffee shouldn't be ingested ninety
minutes before you wake up, because it means you crack
harder in the afternoons.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
If you look for that. I got to get up early,
so it's fine if I crash later. I'll go to
sleep early.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Well, I guess if you can plan a nap, but
I mean, you got a lot of afternoon radio to do,
so I just want to make.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Sure you're awake.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I'll just put on the fourteen minute version of free Bird.
You could sleep fifteen to fourteen minutes in the studio, Paul,
that's going on.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Instead of setting your intentions for the day, you go
online to look at what everybody else is.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Saying to set no intentions.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I have no attentions.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I have no intentions. I just want to I just
want to survive the day. That's all I want to
do to day to day.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I'm I kind of relate with you, Shannon. I am
just such a zombie in the morning. These people are
saying you need to exercise, you need to meditate, write
your to do list down. I am just trying to
get up and get to get to work. And you know,
for a time I tried the cold plunges and I'd
like to do it again at some point. I just
feel like I'm slacking when I see these people's morning.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Here's the thing, though, if you're writing down your to
do list in the morning, you've already lost I've already
got my calendar set up days ahead, like I already
know what I'm doing. Like, if you ask me right now,
what are you doing next? Uh, you know, next Thursday,
next Wednesday, whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I've already got it on my calendar. So I'm ready
to go.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Do you plan your outfit the night before?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
No, this is no lay it out like you're going
to school. Maybe your mom's picked out your outfits.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
This is not third grade again, I everything is random,
Like I just go to the closet.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Okay, that looks good.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Haven't worn that in a while. Let's throw that on. Okay,
there's a hat, here's my shorts, or.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
One sock, here's another. They don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
We've already discussed it. That's the most important part of
the morning is getting the matching socks.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Oh so that's when you draw the line, is when
you don't have matching socks.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
And everything leads to the next.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
So if I don't have the coffee, I'll be too
groggy to even be able to pick through the socks.
But the coffee gives me the energy to pick through
and find the right socks. So this there's a method
to the madness of my morning routine.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Well, it sounds like you need to rewire your morning
routine a little bit, Shannon. Maybe start with a cold plunge,
not baby some yoga. No start b fifteen minutes of yoga,
maybe five minutes of self reflection.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Dude, I come here and I sit here in a
chair for eight hours a day. I don't need to
do yoga. I don't need to be limber to sit
in a chair.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And oh, you are so wrong. You are so wrong.
You more than anybody needs yoga sitting in an office
chair all day. I mean, you're gonna have bad pasture.
You're gonna be leaning over like the hunchback of notre
day to go from that.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Too late for that. I need a good carol practor
is what I need.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
That's that's a great ideally after carrying you for the
last three years, and you stop it.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Stop it right now. But look, I mean, so there
are some things that I've gotten better at the mornings.
I avoid the snooze button. That's something that is detrimental
to the day. You snooze channing and it's like your
mind goes back to sleep.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Never hit the snooze button. No way.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I put my phone out of reach to where like
my when my alarm goes off, and usually I don't
even need it, but if it goes off, I have
to physically get out of bed to get I don't
have my phone right next to me where I can
just reach over and hit the button.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, there's our alarm clocks that like will like roll
away from you when they start going off to make
sure that you get up.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Out of bed because some people were lazy. You have
if you have a look, here's the thing. If you're
one of these people who has an alarm clock that
has wheels on it that tries to escape you from
hitting the sleep button, you need to reevaluate your own life. Like, yes,
I mean you can't get out of bed. You got
hit a snooze button so many times that you've got
an alarm that literally runs from you so you can't
(11:22):
hit it again.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I'm like a dog hearing a doorbell when I hear
my alarm clock going off. If I just hear that
noise in the wild or like in the middle of
the day, it just completely disturbs me, like it's like
I'm waking up for the first time again. Other people
will put on the nuclear launch alarm for their alarm clock.
You know what I'm talking about, Shannon, like some of
the loudest things you've ever heard.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
It.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Stop me if I've told you this before. I think
I have.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
But I had a buddy, really good friend, who is
such a deep sleeper. He's got one of these apps
on his phone where it goes off and it sounds
like World War three is about to start. Not only that,
in order to stop the alarm, you have to figure
out you have to solve a math equation to turn
off the app.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I've heard about these, but I don't think you've told me.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
So you know, he went with me on vacation one
time and he was like way in the other room
and I'm in my bedroom with the door shut, and
He's got this phone right next to his head and
I could hear it all the way from the other
side of the condo. It woke me up, and I
was like, what is going on in here? Like I
wasn't aware that he had this alarm. It scared me.
(12:28):
I got shot straight out of bed and ran in there,
like what's going on? OK, it's his alarm and he
wouldn't wake up. I was like, oh, he was still
sleeping through it, even though it's right next to his head.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I had to check his pulse to make sure he
was still alive.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
And then he wakes up and has to start solving
like you know, a B squared minus the square room.
Now I'm like, what in the world, Like you're telling me, like,
this is what you go through every day.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
You have to solve long division before you can spoke
from your alarm.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Okay, I hate that, Like I would not. I mean,
even like simple stuff. I would probably struggle with a
little bit right when you get up up in the
morning like that to turn off the alarm, so you your
eyes are pretty much still closed at that point.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Not mine.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
I couldn't figure out the math equation. It just kept
going on for like five minutes.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I had somebody's alarm go off in a hotel room
that was next to mine before I was about to
take the thing to throw it in the ocean, and
it only took me about thirty forty five minutes. So
I started beating on their door saying, you're damn alarm
clocks off.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
So yeah, I still remember that vividly. So I'm glad
you know, Shannon, you're a lot like me. You know
these millionaires morning routine. They get up at four am,
they do an hour of reading, and then they get
in the cold plunge and then they go work out
for an hour and a half. I ain't got time
for that, and I don't think a lot of us do.
But I'm sure everybody does a little something in the
morning to help them get through their day. We'd love
(13:45):
to hear from you. Eight five nine two eight oh
two two eight seven Texas five oh two two six
five six sixty five six. Like actress Jessica Biel, who
admits that she eats in the shower.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Eats in the what eats in the eating? What like
eating frosted flakes in the shower.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Sometimes I'll have cereal in the shower, no way, or
yogurt and fruit.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Why why are you eating in the shower?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Okay, I don't have a lot of time. I'm multitasking
and I don't prioritize my food sometimes. She mentioned this
in twenty twenty, but it's regaining steam after she mentioned
it on a podcast recently.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
That is just strange. I've never heard of anybody eating
in a shower. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Besides, I guess Kramer with his salad in the shower
when he would just you know, wash his his vegetables there. Yeah,
but cereal in the shower. Shannon like, okay, coffee, I get, okay,
you need to have your coffee. Sure we can go
there now.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
No no, no, no, no no. Why are you drinking
coffee in a shower? How are you showering? If you're
drinking coffee.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Oh, you can put it in a travel cup and
just put it right next on like a shelf next
to you. You have a shelf in your shower.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Okay, all right, all right, So we're asking people for
strange morning routines.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I guess it sounds like.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I don't know. I'm just trying to work through my
life here, Shannon, Like I I've got a busy fall
coming up, and I've got to change my mornings a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Well, I could tell you why I'm not having a
cheeseburger while I'm showering. This is Would you have some cereal?
Maybe the water gets into your milk. I don't eat cereal.
I'm not a child. Maybe some fresh fruit, but uh,
you know, energize you for the day, some fruity pebbles
while I'm showering. Get out of here.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Okay, all right, well we'll take a break. We'll be
a right back. Much more chaos. IR appreciate on the way.
Uh it is Tuesday, August fifth, and we'll be right back.
Welcome back. It is the show before the show, the
KOSR Morning Show, talking about our morning routines a little
bit eight five nine two eighth two two eight seven
Texas on the text line five h two two six
(15:43):
five six six five six, where one person says, I
have a late start today. Listening to these morning habits
are stressing me out since I'm still in bed. What
about shower beers, Jana, I think shower beers are completely acceptable,
but I wouldn't do it before work. No in the morning, No,
more like an afternoon. Maybe a night shower.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
If you're drinking a beer in the shower before you
go to work, that could be a sign you might
have a problem.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Call one a hunter gambler.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Not in the mornings before you go
to work, but afternoon, maybe after you mow the lawn.
Nothing wrong with a little shower beer.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I don't know. I hear you say that.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I know that's a common thing, but I don't think
I've ever had a shower beer.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Oh well it started into college for me, so, I
mean that was kind of a It was definitely a thing.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
I'm more of a like, you know, let's let's get
a shower then have a beer.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Well you're not an afternoon shower guy, are you. You're
more of a morning shower.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Well yeah, if it's on the weekend, let's say I
just cut the grass, then yeah, I'll go.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I'll go go, you know, get an afternoon shower.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
But yeah, nothing like the after mow the lawn.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
But here's the thing about more in the lawn.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I don't wait till the lawns mode before I can
just sit there in my backyard and have a beer
while I'm mowing the lawn.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
That's how you do it.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Oh you're mowing in beering, Yeah, at the same time.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yeah, it's in my backyard.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
It's all said, a ride mower or a push mower. Well,
I'm sound like you want to answer there.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
I don't know, like somebody's gonna go, well, that's a
d ua, Like really, I'm in my backyard riding a lawnmower.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Shut up. I don't want to hear.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Though.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
There's always gonna be somebody going, you can't be drinking
and driving.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I can't. If I'm in my backyard. I think we're good.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, No, I think you're fine there. And as we
learned many years ago, Matt didn't know what a zero
turn lawnmower was. If you have one of those, then
you're doing something right, like you know what you're doing
cutting grass zero a zero turn MOWERU chan, you told
me during the break that there's a fake photo of
Otega Away in a boot.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
There's this photo going around and people are asking me.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
About it, and it appears to be a picture of
Oway in a boot. Now again, I don't know what
to believe anymore because I see people responding going, no,
that's a fake picture. It very well could be. And
I'm to the point where I'm gonna give you the
Caliperi answer, I haven't seen them. Until I see somebody
in person with my own I'm not gonna believe anything, because,
(18:02):
like I said, AI has gotten completely out of control.
So you see stuff like that, maybe it's real, maybe
it's not. I can't really give you an answer because I,
again Cali Perry, haven't seen him.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I haven't seen take it away in person. So if
anybody has, they can tell you, But I can't.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I don't know, do you know, I don't people saying
it's a fake picture.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
It sounds like the Jerry still out when it so do.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
They know it's a fake picture?
Speaker 6 (18:28):
You know?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah, maybe they've been at practice, They've talked to Goose Givens.
He's given them the insight. I doubt that. Maybe I
doubt that everybody that has an Internet connection believes that
they can have an opinion on something. And and you
know there's like, you know, accounts that like purposely try
to trick you, like like the Sham's accounts or the
fake Adam Schefter. They're just tweeting fake news just to
see who can they sool.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
So I'm not gonna get on here and start spreading
rumors and saying that always in a boot because it
could be a fake picture.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I don't know. I really don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
You can tell that the video I posted was fake
this morning?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Chand what was that? That was weird?
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Man?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
What is that? Where did you even find that?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I don't know, it was just something that popped up
on the for you page, Shannon. It's a dog like
eating somebody's face off for you.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Okay, well that says a lot about your algorithm and
what you've been watching if it thinks it's for you
to see a dog eat somebody's face off, which is
not even a real It's like the dog bites the
woman's face, but her face turns to salad.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah, this sounds stupid.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
AI is man like talking about AI. This is how like,
and there's people that will believe anything there is.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I was startled the first time I saw that video,
and uh, you know, it might be something that we
see more and more of as AI gets more realistic.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Yeah, well well that's not even realistic. That's just dumb,
but not realistic yet.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Yeah, it's scary though, it really is. I was seeing
something earlier today where people were taking old pictures and
you can make the picture turned like look like come
to life, to life, yeah, and talk like somebody's like, hey,
here's a picture of my grandma from one hundred years ago,
and it's black and white picture and then you run
it through this AI thing and now it's in color
(20:09):
and it makes it look like it's a five second
video of them moving and talking.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I think that's kind of cool. Do you not like that?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
You think that it walks the line. That's for sure.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
It is kind of cool in a way because you
get to see a picture come to life.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
And it's also kind of creepy.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
And I'm telling you man like people are already using
AI for all the wrong reasons, and it's just gonna
get worse.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
It's not gonna get any better.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Like you remember, the cat is out of the bag,
the toothpastes out of the tube. You can't put it
back in.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
It sounds like we're talking about Nil and the transfer portal.
Now now we're talking about him. We're talking about AI.
But you remember we did a story about the funeral.
The guy spoke at his own funeral and they used
AI to come up with what.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
He would say or whatever it was at his own funeral.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, at his own funeral.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Okay, I'm dead.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
He came out and talked to everybody at his own funeral.
So who knows what funerals will look like fifty one
hundred years from now. But Shannon, I come to life
when I win a bed on Draftking.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Running a little late this morning. I think I'm gonna
bring my cereal into the shower. I mean, why not
save a little time.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
That you could you could do that.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Sorry to be a little yogurt.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Sorry I was sorry. I was answering a call there.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Oh you're good. You got three things to do at
the time at the same time. When we come back
We've got to take a break here. We got our
heartbreak weights for no Man. When we come back, we'll
talk a little bit about the march madness in the
NCAA tournament. Also a fan being picked out of the
game at the Portland Pickles game and what happened next
might be good enough for a movie script. It's Shannon
(22:16):
the Dude and Billy Rutlige. We'll be right back here
on the KSR pre Show. Welcome Back. It is a
Tuesday edition of the KSR pre Show Billy Rutlige and
Shannon the Dude. It'll be Matt and the guys that
will hand it off to at ten am. A lot
of optimistic football talk yesterday from Matt and Drew Cutter
(22:38):
Bowley looking good, you know, don't. We're going to tell
Shannon this. He's already said six and six this this season.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
For this Show's optimism suddenly coming from I mean, I'm
just saying a couple of months ago, nobody we might
win three games, we're gonna lose to Toledo. Now everybody's
talking about winning six games and going to a bowl.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, don't take your victory lap, ye, Shannon. I mean
they haven't even played games. Everybody's undefeated right now.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
No, no, I get it. I'm just saying, make up
your mind? Are you in? Are you out?
Speaker 5 (23:07):
All right?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Are you in or are you out? Do you think they're
gonna get the six? Or are you gonna stay three?
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Now?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
You sound like inkybys here asking me if are you in?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
That's right?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah, that's a great song. Probably most people don't know it,
but it's it's a good song.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It's a good deep cut that I mean you get
and uh, you know, we'll tell uh inside jokes here
on the pre show. That's what we do. But speaking
of fall camps, I want to ask you this, Jannon
Fair or foul here? Tennessee fans are crazy and so
crazy that the UT media team is blurring out the
quarterback who threw an interception in a fall camp video.
(23:39):
Somebody online said it just means too much, which I
kind of liked. But can you blur out the quarterback
so the fans won't go after them? That's a little crazy,
isn't I think?
Speaker 5 (23:48):
So?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Like I fans could figure it out. You don't think
they know?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Right?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Like, we're not stupid. We can figure out who the
quarterback is. I don't think it's that hard to figure out.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
But we are talking about Tennessee fans. If you remember
when egg Schiano was about to be hired by the university,
they just pretty much had a revolt. And I mean
there were some details that maybe you could say, you know,
it was valid for them to do that. But you've
never seen a fan base do that before, have you?
Speaker 3 (24:12):
No? No, of course not. You never seen a fan
base like that, right.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Huh what are you getting at?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Nothing? Nothing at all?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Oh okay, I'm just saying sound like there's a hint
at sarcasm.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
No, not at all.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
You know, Tennessee fans, though they can bring their mustard
bottles and their batteries and throw them out on the field,
they are the absolute worst college fan base, would you agree.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yes, yes, football Tennessee fans, or maybe just include basketball too,
just because they puffed their chest out and yet have
never made a Final Four.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
But anyway, that's Tennessee fans for you, though.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I mean, have you ever heard of a fan base
licking the car of one of their star athletes?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, I have?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Actually, Oh yeahs that's I forgot.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Shoot, well, you know.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
People say that Kentucky fan. The fan base is annoy
I would say, I'd say very passionate, not annoying.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
But they're loud, right, I mean there's a lot of them.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, you know, Bobby Bones even had them at number
one on the list. If we want to go back
and revisit that, I would say though, Tennessee fans are
basically the Philadelphia Eagle fans of college football.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
They are the absolute worst.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, yeah, I think they're up there. I mean I
would want to throw in like Ohio State fans as well.
If you know an Ohio State fan in your life,
you know that they're going to tell you about every
single time.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
There's a guy down in there's a guy down in
Florida in my condo complex and he drives around in
his golf cart and it's covered with Buckeye stuff. It's like,
all right, let me guess you're a fan of Ohio State.
Would have guessed that.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
You know, they're watching all that Cleveland Brown's football, you know,
and Columbus isn't far away, so they've they've got to
they got to pick and choose their wins.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
When you when you say the when you have to
say the in front of it. That is like little
Man complex the Yeah, is there any other schools do that?
Any teams, any anybody that does the before their name
like that? Besides like pretentious people, Well there's like the U, right,
but it's not the all right, Like I'm not shanning
the dude.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I'm sharing the dude. It's differently.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Yeah, maybe, yeah, exactly. That would be like if I
put a the in front of my name and then had.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Two you don't want to you don't want to us
the in the middle of your name, Shannon the dude,
you want to do it before? That's right, all right,
Let's go to the phones. A five nine two o
two two eight seven. Misty is on the line. Good morning, Misty,
Good morning. All right.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Look I'm playing mom here. Okay, why do you all
not fold your socks together when you get them out
of the dryer?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Driving me crazy, pure laziness.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
It's so much easier just when you get him out
of the dryer, put them together, fold them over, and
guess what. You put them in your drawer and you
always have the pair that you want.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
You're not wrong, you're absolutely right, but it's just it's
pure laziness on my part. I just want to get
it done, get it back to where it goes, and
deal with that later.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I don't want to deal with it in that moment.
That's the reason I don't.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I just dump it out of the launch.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
On the other hands, on the other hand, is just
a psycho path and we'll put on any two socks
regardless of the color, or it doesn't matter to him
at all.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Well, look, I'm like Drew at the reds game. I
struggle with the match game.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I don't want to play match game every time I
do laundry. But that sounds crazy.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
Yes, I still sold my husband's socks, and if you
all bring me your socks, I will match them and
phote them and bring them.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Back to you, all right, Friday, or at Shady Raising
Legs bringing my sock drawer Friday remote.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Misty can fold the match the socks while we're doing
the shrew.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
I can do that, all right, y'all, have a good day,
all right, thank.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
You, Missy.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
That's good stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
In theory. It's easy to just match him up when
you do your laundry. But it doesn't work out like
that always.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
No, no, no, You know, when you get old, when
you become an adult and don't have mom to do
him for you. You got to do them yourself. Yeah, actually
have an all new appreciation for mom.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
No, Yeah, you're right. Somebody that I have a lot
of appreciation for and I want to give a shout
out to is Brian mile Hm. After twenty seven years
in television at WYMT and WKYT, it was announced yesterday
he's leaving to become the KHSAA Communications and Media Relations Director.
And you know, I don't think we've had Brian on
as a KSR pre show co host. We've had many
(28:38):
people and Brian is not one of them. But he
has always given me the time of day. A really
kind person and if you know anything about Brian, you
know he loves high school sports and I think he's
going to excel at that position. Shannon, you talk to
a lot of people for maybe ten seconds at a
time when you interview or put people on the Tom
Lead Show. Is Brian ever somebody that you've talked to? Oh?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Yeah, yeah, for you know, just a few seconds here
or there. Yeah, but yep, I'm definitely aware of who
Brian is. Wish him the best. Twenty seven years is
a long time to stay in one profession, so I
wish him well and I think he'll do great in
that role.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Well, you're getting close, right, I mean, what do you
I mean you're pushing twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Oh I'm already passed twenty Actually August, we're in August.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
This is twenty one years for me now. Ah well,
happy one month anniversary. Twenty one years at iHeart Radio.
Is that's right?
Speaker 3 (29:25):
And you say you've never had a chance to have
Brian Mileham on the pre show, Don't worry. I've got
plenty of vacation coming up, so you've got plenty of
opportunities to get Brian on the pre show.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I think you should do that as a matter of fact.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Yes, you know, speaking of opportunities at a young age,
Shannon the Dude took advantage of it as an intern
at iHeartRadio. I believe there's internships available with the Kentucky
Sports Radio website right now. So if you are a
college student and would like to cover the volleyball team
or several other UK athletics, this would be a great
place to start your career. We've seen Maggie Davis, Daniel Hager,
(29:58):
countless other writers to go on to do so great
things starting off in an intern spot, and so that
position is open. Should maybe you need to do a
little writing for the website.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Maybe you think you think I should do some writing.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, let's see what you got.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
No, No, I think I think I'll stick to what
I do. I'll stay in my lane here. But you know,
internships are something that really I feel like there's not
as many of anymore, and probably because a lot of
those are now having to be paid internships.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Right.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
You know, when I did internships, it was for some
credits for school that when I was at Bellerman and
that was it.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
That's all you get paid. But now I feel like.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I don't know if it's a law or just companies
feel like they should pay their interns. Good thing is
now for most internships they're paid.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, it's some people see it as like a respect thing,
like I'm not going to work for you for nothing.
But that's how I had to get my start.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Yeah, that's how you pay your dues man, right, But
it's you know, look.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
I think it's entitled to this new generation.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Well I wasn't gonna say it, but if you come
out of college and you just expect that people should.
But you know, how are you immediately? You still got
to pay your dues. I still believe in that, and
you know, unfortunately some people with the Paylor dues a
lot longer than others.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah, out of college, I take a part time job,
move back in with my parents, pick up a second
job to supplement the job that I really want to do,
which is the part time job at iHeartRadio. I mean,
if you want it enough, you can figure it out.
But there are some circumstances that prevent others.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
But here's what I think most people probably don't even
realize about me. I was, you know, I said, I'm
been here for twenty one years. I was part time
for the first ten years. Ten Yeah, that's crazy. Ten
years part time work.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
So I mean after a while, you got to think,
do you have a future here or did you always
know that you were going to break through?
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Well, I mean, I think you got to stick with
something if it's what you want, if it's your passion,
you don't just duck out because you're not achieving it yet. Like,
you'll get there, you know. I think if you stick
with it, you'll get to where you want. To be,
and you know, it took me ten half of my
radio career. I was part time and working another somewhere else,
so I was stuck with it, and you know, eventually
(32:04):
got full time.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
So that's just to find a new job after the
college pitching thing didn't work out, really me?
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah, yeah, Well I knew it wasn't going to the majors.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I mean, there's a there's a whole nother world of
minor league. You could have gotten that bus and gotten
to Frisco, but uh one meant to be for Shannon.
Let's go back to the phones here, dude. Freebird is
on the line. What's up, Freebird?
Speaker 5 (32:26):
Hey guys, A mismatch that doesn't show is not a
mismatch pill all right?
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Well maybe for you, but for me, I still know
it's a mismatch, and I cannot do it even if
I know, Like the no show socks, you couldn't tell
unless you're just staring at my socks that they're not matched.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
But I know that, and that's what matters to me.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Well, a couple of things you told me about didn't
running out of chips, man, It's nothing like getting a
big thing at cheese and put some alapenios in it.
Just eat it with a spoon.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Oh wow, See, I don't know about that. Do you
do that, Free.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Bird, I've done it before.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
M Billy. I don't think I could do it without chips.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I've got to have the chips. That's the whole point
of the dish. I mean, if you're just eating cheese
and jalapeno's, that's that's something completely different. That's like cereal.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
The guy with the Ohio State, all these Ohio States fans,
all you gotta do is bring up them one world
the last four or five years, and that's Michigan.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Yep, they take it over that hump. You're right, that's true,
a little sensitive subject for them.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Thanks free Bird. Good to hear from you. All right man.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Speaking of Ohio State, I believe they're the reigning champions,
Is that correct, Shannon? Yeah, Okay. The first coaches poll
came out the top twenty five in Ohio State is
number two. They have Texas as the number one team
in the country. Little arch manning hype Steve Sarkeesian. Uh,
it feels like half of Kentucky's schedule is in this
top twenty five to two Shannon Georgia at four, Ole
(34:01):
Miss at fifteen, Florida at seventeen, Tennessee at eighteen, South
Carolina at thirteen. It's We've talked about the schedule for
a while, but we get the coach's poll and we
just see how many top tiered pop opponents Kentucky's going
to take on this.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
It's gonna be tough. But again, you're in the SEC.
You know this.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
We know that the SEC is not going to suddenly
become a weak conference.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
It's the best in college football.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
So you go out there and, as Mark Stoops would say,
you get to strap it on and go hit somebody
in the mouth. And I hope that this team is
gonna really again, we talked about it so many times.
The offensive line, I think is going to be the
absolute key to this season. If the offensive line holds
up and as good as advertised that, I think this
team has a legitimate chance of getting to six.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
If the offensive line falls.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Apart, if we have any injury at key injuries, then
that's when I become really concerned.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
You said earlier in the show that you don't get
a lot of food at the Louisville office. Is that right?
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Why, I just a little confused. I got a text
here from somebody that is a photo of wild eggs
that is at the office too. No what, and that
you guys had McAllister's yesterday. I didn't have McAllister's yesterday.
And that everyone says it's a pretty regular thing at
the Louisville office.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
That is not No.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
I mean we have like ramen, noodles and stuff normally,
and some like peanuts.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
I mean, I can't reveal my source here, but I'm
getting photos of there's plenty of food in the Louisville.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Okay, well, all right, well let's take a break because
I'm gonna go get some wild eggs.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Okay, all right, we did take break. Shane's gotta go
get some food. Yeah, We'll be right back here on
the ksrpre show. Welcome back. It's our final segment here
on a Tuesday of Billy and the Dude KSUR pre Show.
I got a couple of news notes that we need
to get to before the show's over. But before we do,
(35:49):
let's take one more call. I believe Matt is on
the line. Good morning, Matt, what's up?
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 6 (35:55):
Guys?
Speaker 4 (35:56):
I got a question for shying, And how's your pump
impact doing and are you meditating in it?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Well, I'm not meditating in it, but the pumpkin patch
is doing well.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
I got some big pumpkins. I should take a picture
and maybe tweet it out later on. But are you
suggesting that if I meditate in the garden that the
pumpkins will grow even bigger?
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Yes, sir, I take your shoes off, socks, and it's
called grounding. You put your beat on the ground and
just sit there and just relax and just enjoy what
you what you create, what you grow, what you was growing.
And I'm proud of if you, man, I'm proud of you.
That's awesome that you grow big pumpkins.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I appreciate it. Yeah. I might have one for you
to have.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
A good Yeah, thank you, Matt.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
Yeah, hey man, that's awesome. All right, y'all have a
good nights.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Are you too?
Speaker 5 (36:43):
All right?
Speaker 2 (36:43):
I like Matt, Yeah, I do too, always.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Meditating out in his garden. The pumpkins are getting big,
They're getting massive at this point.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Well, it sounds like the perfect addition to your morning routine,
a little grounding in the morning. It's a meditating in
the pumpkin patch. I mean before it gets zero degrees
outside in December. I think that's the maybe what you
should do tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
I'll give you a pumpkin up update later on today.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
All right, tell me how the meditation goes to.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Yeah, we were.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Talking about the you know, having a bowl of cereal
in the shower. Jake writes and and says, you know,
you have the American Eagle commercial with Sidney Sweeney. We
should have a Shane in the Dude commercial with him
in the shower eating some Freddy pebbles.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
What do you think about that? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
I don't know that wouldn't make anybody want to buy
fruity pebbles if they saw me in a shower eating it.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
No, but you can count on me to be the
fake outrage, the TikToker that says that it's Nazi propaganda
for her to be in American Eagle.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Gens Man, Some people will complain about anything. It doesn't
matter what it is, you know.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Yeah, you're right about that. One thing that we've complained
about a lot is the NCAA looking to expand the
NCAA tournament.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Okay, guilty, yep, I've complained about that.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
There you go, But well, they voted on it yesterday
and they will not expand it yet. It'll stay at
sixty eight teams or the next season, all.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Right, right, right, right for this season? But what about
for the next season though.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
So I don't think the next season will change either.
But they're looking at I guess the season after next,
So by twenty twenty seven, he will either remain at
sixty eight or there is a growing I guess movement
to go to seventy six.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Seventy well was seventy I thought it was seventy two.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
No, they're skipping over seventy two. It seems like a
more plausible option is either sixty eight or seventy six
moving and.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
You know what will happen at then they'll go to
ninety six. Ninety six has been a number that's been
talked about for several years now, and going from sixty
eight to ninety six, so I guess they're just gonna
gradually step it up. But I wouldn't be surprised if
you know, ten fifteen years from now, we're talking about
ninety six teams in a.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Turn now, I know, like, where does they well, they stop. Yeah,
it's gonna be in somewhere. Yeah, but it's all about
television dollars and Greg sankei, the most powerful guy in
college athletics, is beating the drum for this. So you know,
I think we'd be naive to think that this doesn't happen.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Right, Oh yeah, Yeah, it's gonna happen eventually. You know,
usually when somebody brings up something like this, it doesn't
happen with a snap of your fingers. But you know
that something in the in the background that's going to
come at some point in the future. So I don't
think it's a matter of if. I think it's a
matter of when it happens, and it's.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
A tidal wave that'll hit us all eventually. A couple
former Cats with some signings. Daron Fox signs a four year,
two hundred and twenty nine million dollars MAX contract with
the Spurs. Congratulations to dearon Fox getting paid. A lot
of Kentucky guys getting paid, whether it be Shay Gillis, Alexander,
Daron Fox, Devin Booker, these guys are making money. And
(39:27):
then also Ansley Almanor signs with a team in Finland, Shannon.
You know, you talk about going overseas, there's a lot
of different places you can go. Finland is one of them.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Yeah, that would be definitely on the list of places
I would like to go to. I don't I don't
know if i'd want to play basketball over there, make it,
you know, live there, but it's go hang.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
I would definitely like to go visit there for sure.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Yeah. So wishing the best of luck to Daron Fox
and Ansley Almanor. A final story before we go, I
got to talk about this fan at the Portland Pickles game.
The Portland Pickles play in the West Coast League League,
which is a collegiate summer league Wooden bat League.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Shannon, you've heard those before course. Yeah, we had a
Wooden bat league when I was in college. We were
one of the very few Wooden bat leagues out there.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Out of college. They asked me to be a play
by play man of a Wooden Bat League team in Atlanta,
and they just weren't paying me enough to do it.
But that was a billion another life. Well, they had
a fan appreciation night over the weekend, and so part
of the gimmick was they picked one fan out of
the stands to take an at bat. So they bring
out one guy and he ends up hitting a home
run in his at bat. His name is Dixie. He
(40:33):
played D three baseball back in the day. But the
spotlight was on, he got his moment and he took
it yard. Talk about a dream scenario made me think
of us at the Legends game and instead of a
first pitch, they say, hey, how would you like to
take a swing?
Speaker 2 (40:45):
So what level was this? What level ball was this? Again?
Speaker 1 (40:48):
The collegiate Summer League wooden bat League, So it's college kids,
it's still the summer before they play at their respective school.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Are you talking about what a great story for this
this hitter. I'm thinking about the poor pitcher that actually
gave up the hit up from a guy that was
over in the stands just a few minutes ago. You know,
as a picture I'm looking at from that angle, Well,
I think it's a bad look on the picture.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
It certainly is. I mean, that guy is getting crap
from every teammate that he has.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Dude, I think you got to kick him off the team.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
After that, the fan got a one day contract, so
for their next game, I believe he is going to
be playing with the Portland Pickles. So you know, seize
your opportunities, folks and start with a good morning routine.
It's everything you can learn on a one episode of
the KSR pre try.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
You should take an opportunity to get on DraftKings and
sign up as a new customer. About five dollars, get
two hundred dollars in bonus bets. That's with promo code
KSR only on DraftKings.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
The crown is yours.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Unfortunately, we're out of time. We'll have to get you
next or tomorrow. Eric apologies about that, but that's going
to do it for us. KSR is next for Shannon
the Dude. I am Billy Rutledge. This has been the
KSR pre Show. We'll talk tomorrow.
