Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everyone. It is the KSR pre Show. It's Tuesday,
August twelfth. I am Shannon the Dude, and you can
give us a call on the Clark's Puppet Shop phone
line eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
You're a whiskey thief Call of the day and you
can send us a text if you can't call us
five O two two sixty five sixty six five six.
The KSR Pre Show is being brought to you by
(00:22):
Italics Fine Italian donning in Lexington, which is where my
main co host, Billy our Sports is right now, hopefully Billy.
When you came into the buildings there at iHeart this morning,
they patted you down to make sure you didn't have
any pocket knives or anything like that on you. Are
you good? You're not packing anything this morning?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Right?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
No? No, I have a little like a Swiss army
knife Shannon keychain that I have.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
All you do? So you do carry a knife?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I am. I guess packing. I guess you could say, what.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Are you gonna do with that Swiss army knife?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I have no idea?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So you got it. You don't even know what to
do with it?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
You know, if I need to cut like a red
or a blue wire to diffuse a bomb. Maybe last
minute or something. I'm gonna have.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
What do you mean red or blue? It's one or
the other, Like if you cut the wrong one, we're
all dead.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
That's right. It means it's red or blue. So you
don't know which one, no, no, but we'll pick one
in the moment. I was just saying to you before
the show started, and it's great to be with you again.
How prepared I am for this show because of all
the show prep that we do, the Google doc we share,
switching back topics. You know, we kind of get on
a call before the show the topics we want to
(01:25):
talk about, so we're ready to go. Because of all
the prep that we do.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
The KSR pre show is true to form to the
actual KSR. For years, you know, we've been doing k
I've been a part of a KSR now for god
what fourteen years, over fourteen years going on fifteen years,
and we have never once sat down and had a
like pre show like here's what we're going to talk about.
Here are the topics. Check this out. You and I
(01:49):
don't talk at all. The first time we talk really
is when we open up the mics and start doing
this show. So from day to day, you don't know
what I'm going to bring up as topics. I don't
know what you're going to bring up his topics. But
we've done that with Matt for so many years. I
feel like I feel like, at least I'm, you know,
prepared for the unexpected. That's the best part about this show.
Sometimes you can't you can't really determine what we're going
(02:10):
to talk about. A lot of times listeners call in
and take the conversation in a completely different direction. So
you just got to be ready to react, keep your
head on a swivel.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Oh, you're right about that. Shannon can bring up his
pumpkins at any moment, and you got to be ready
to have a take about it. That's not normal. That
is very different compared to the other radio shows I
think across this land, Shannon. But maybe this is the
secret sauce. Maybe that's why we are so good at
what we do.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I guess, well, I brought up the pocket knife thing
because I don't know if you heard the conversation we
were oh yeah on KSR yesterday about Matt's friend trying
to get a pocket knife into a casino, And I
said to him, like, do people still carry pocket knives?
Like that was something that my grandpa always had on him.
He had a little pocket knife, and I don't know
why he had it, but like if he ever needed
(02:56):
a pocket knife, you know, you knew where to go,
just go to go to my grand father. He's got
a pocket knife ready at any given moment. But I
thought that was like an old man thing, like where
people carry around pocket knives? Is that like, is that
something that's more common maybe than what I realize that
people still carry a pocket knife.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I mean, I think they're in the minority, but I
think you'd be surprised on how many people might be
carrying a little something something on him. Shannon, Yeah, whether
it be the Second Amendment or a pocket knife. I
think some people want to be able to protect themselves.
And also some people don't sit on their butt and
do radio shows all day, right, I mean they maybe
need a little little something to help them get through
their day on the homestead or whatever.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
What does that mean? Like, what what do you mean? Like,
how's a pocket knife help you get through the day.
They're gonna be whittling things. Are you gonna be like
like I was telling Matt, you get a car of
an apple? Like, what are you doing with your pocket knife?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I don't know, stick, Yeah, maybe I gotta protect my
my livestock. Who knows, Shannon, there's maybe I need Yeah,
I need to cut some fruit. Like you said, you
already hit the apples and the whittling, and yeah, I
mean for city folk like us, that's about all we'd
need a knife for. So, but there's there's people out
there that I'm sure putting it to good use.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Right, Is there any I guess? Is there anything in
my pocket knife? Is there anything other than like phone, wallet,
keys that you cannot leave that you can't leave the
house without, Like your Swiss army knife. You said that
you have it on you right now. You have a
Swiss army knife.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah, here it is.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So what's on the Swiss army knife? You got the blade?
You got like the little many scissors of which I guess.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
So, look, this is a mushroom Look if you could
see this?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Okay, Okay, that doesn't you got a mushroom knife?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
And look there's a blade, and then I have this
little like paintbrush. Look at you.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Oh my god, that is the most sissy looking Swiss
army knife. And you've got to tweet a picture of
that out.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oh I got this as a gift.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Why do you last week? Why do you guys?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
As a gift last week? Oh and look at this?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Is this a can opens it like a nail file.
You're gonna follow your nails while you're out in the wilderness.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
But literally, I got it like a week ago, and
she made me put it on my key. So that's
why I have that. So the pocket knife discussion yesterday, Yeah,
she is perfect timing?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Is that the fiance when you say she yeah, so
she got you a little mushroom Swiss army knife.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
That's right, And now I can whittle whenever I want.
Unlike you, you could see her and keep crocheting or
whatever came.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I cannot believe you were actually carrying around a little
Swiss mushroom pocket knife. That that I mean, like I
was joking when I said, do you have a knife
on you? And sure enough you had one.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Well I did not.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Expected to be inside of a mushroom.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
If we're not going to do Google docs and show prep,
then at least let me show up with my mushroom knife.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Speaking of things like people don't leave home without when
did this become a thing where women have to have
a giant sip cup with them at all times? The
Stanley cups? When did that become like such a thing.
Because I cannot leave the house with Sarah without her
having she a lot of times has two of these things.
(06:05):
Why do you need, first of all, one giant cup.
You're taking up both of the cup holders in the car,
and she's got two giant Stanley cups. She's like, well,
one's my water and one's my whatever. Some kind of
mix she's got in there, you know, like mixing in
the Stanley Well, I mean like that hydrate stuff, liquid
ivy stuff like that, you know, nothing, Not talking about alcohol.
(06:27):
I'm just talking about she has two different giant cups.
I'm going like, we're going two miles up the road,
why do you have to have that stuff? But it
seems like I see a lot of not just her,
I'm picking on her, a lot of women. You see
them out like in a grocery store. They got to
have these giant Stanley cups with them. I don't know
like when that became a thing and why that's so
necessary to have a gallon of water with you at
(06:48):
all times?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Very popular. If you go on to any college campus,
I'm going to guarantee that eighty five percent of the
women on the campus would probably have a Stanley cup.
And let's not leave the men out of this. I mean,
Yeti's are pretty popular too.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I love but Yetty, Look, I love Yetti's. I have
one myself. I don't take it everywhere I go. That's
that's my point. Like, why do you have You're leaving
the house for five minutes, Why do you need a
giant Stanley cup with you at all times? It's like
it's permanently attached.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
It's like a fear of dehydration or something.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, Like you're gonna be back in five minutes. I'm
pretty sure you're gonna be okay. Like you're not going
out to the Sahara for a week, You're going up.
It's a mile down the road, You're coming right back.
Why do you need that?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
But business is booming, like a lot of people buy
these Stanley cups. Like if you're looking at some of
the most popular items around Christmas time over the last
couple of years, Shan and those Stanley cups have been
flying off the shelves. I remember they did a collab
with Starbucks, and I mean it was like finding a
Willy Wonka's Golden ticket. They were so popular. People pushing
each other over in the target to try to get
(07:53):
like one or two of these things. So I don't know.
So are you telling me you don't have your your
Stanley cup loaded up with ice cubes and water this morning?
Speaker 5 (07:59):
No?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I mean, like you're just dehydrating yourself.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Well, if they supply us with waters, that's the one
thing they do give us here, raw noodles and water.
So we have, you know, bottles of water that are
that are in the refrigerator. So I just grab one
of those. See, I figure, Billy, that I can make
it from my house to the radio station without dying
of dehydration. I don't have to have the Stanley cup
with me. Like I could wait twenty minutes, twenty five
(08:22):
minutes to get to the station and then I can
have my water.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Okay, well you might you might find yourself in like
a long meeting or a conference call later in the day.
You can't get up to go to the water fountain. Boom,
Stanley cup. It's hydrated, okay, But Europeans look at us
a little weird when it comes to water and like ice.
Like I think Matt went over to Europe and they
just don't have any ice over there.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Well, I mean, that's a lot of restaurants in New York.
You go there, you ask for a water, they give
you a couple of room temperature of water.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Well I didn't know that, so they give you no ice.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
In well, No, not not all places, but I mean
a lot of places you go to you ask for
a water, you have to specify I want ice with it?
What cycle path drinks water?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I don't want room temperature water. It's easier, easier to digest,
I guess because cold water sits on your stomach. So
actually they recommend you drink room water temperature I believe.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
But now give me some cold I mean, if I
want it room temperature water, I would just go drink
out of the fire hose or something, you know, Like
I want ice in my water. I don't. I don't
understand people who don't like ice water.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
No, I know what Shannon the Dude was doing back
in the day. He was slurping the water fountain back
in elementary or one of those lockers around the thing
to make sure you just get all that water.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
No, wonder kids get sick all the time, right, I
mean when they're doing maybe stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Now one of the other topics from yesterday, and I
know that Kentucky just finished out their their basketball schedule.
We'll get into that maybe in the second segment or
maybe this second we'll see how it goes. Uh that
the the video of the Kentucky football players, oh Billy
doing doing this uh this jump. If you haven't seen
it yet, I don't really know how to describe it.
(09:57):
I would just say look it up. I tweetered it
at out at Shannon to the dude on Twitter. I think,
did you tweet it out this morning as well?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
No, I didn't. I can retweet it from you though.
I have not seen it though, until you guys talk about.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I was a little disappointed we didn't talk about on
the pre show yesterday. But you know what, you didn't
see it, so that's okay. We talked about it at
great extent yesterday on KSR, but I wanted to get
your take on this. You know, if you're a football player,
you try to. I think in most cases, billy show
a side of toughness, maybe a little bit of macho
(10:31):
miss if that's even a word to you know, show
that you're a big, tough, mean football player. And this
video that was posted by a couple of football players
over the weekend is the exact opposite of that. They're
holding hands, facing each other like they're about to get married,
and then they jump with both legs kicking behind them.
(10:52):
It kind of reminded me. You see a lot of weddings.
Bridesmaids do this, like when they have like a wedding
on a beach. You'll see them all jump in the
air and throw their arms up and their legs behind
them and you get a picture of them all in
the air. That's kind of what these two football players
for Kentucky did, And I would like to think that
it was not their idea. I would just want to
(11:13):
hope that it was the photographer who's like, you need
to do this. This is a trend. It's gonna go viral,
it's gonna be awesome, everybody's gonna love it, and they
talk the players into doing it, not that it was
the player's idea. That's what I would like to think anyway,
And Matt tried to get you and Mario to recreate
that yesterday. You had no part of it. You want it,
no part of that.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Listen. I'm billy confident, but I don't have enough confidence
in my masculinity to do that kind of jump for
a photograph that would live on forever. Shannon, what were
these guys thinking?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I did? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
It must be a different generation thing because I see
Brandon Garrison in the Kentucky basketball team post tiktoks all
the time. Maybe some tiktoks I probably wouldn't put myself
out there. Maybe there's just a generational gap where these
guys are connecting with their teammates, they're posting online. It's
fun to hear the feedback, and they think of it
a lot differently than we do. That still does not
(12:05):
excuse the pose that these guys were doing in this photograph.
This football photograph shan so much so that it feels
like in it is Kentucky is getting mocked by other
secs all horrible as being told to leave the conference,
and that seems a little harsh. But at the same time,
the image of that photo, once you see it just
(12:26):
does not look like something that you know, I've seen
before from an SEC football player. So it's just shocking.
It's jarring, I think is the word that I might
use to see, you know, football players doing a little
dancy dance.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Nobody thought that one through. Nobody thought this is going
to be mocked. My question is, how do you not
know that people were going to mock a video of
two football players doing that type of video?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
But can you live life like that? Shannon? I would
say that you're better than most at not caring what
other people think. Who cares what other fans base think?
Kentucky still is in the SEC. Who cares what they
say about the jumping photo? I cared? Uh, That's why
I didn't do the photo.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I mean, I understand not caring about what people think
about you, but when you put yourself out there like that,
you got to be willing to accept the criticism that's
going to follow.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Sure, that's so a lot of people were thinking that
Kentucky was going to go like four and eight. Now
after that video, a lot of people were saying like
two and ten.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
So I explaited a second. So, like, you've you've been
this high horse six and six kind of guy. I mean,
does this change your right does?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It doesn't for me because I don't think that these
two guys are going to get a whole lot of
playing time. Okay, so I don't think it's really going
to matter, but it's going to give all the other
It already has given all the other fan bases out
there plenty of fuel. And expect to see that meme
a lot that that's not going away. Just so you know,
that's not going to be the last time that you
see that video going around and going viral. It's gonna
(14:01):
viral several times, I think this season.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
But hopefully can be used positively as well. Maybe you
just put a beat down on your rival.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Oh yeah, you could say you just got beat You
just got beat by this this right here, just beat you.
I love those.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Maybe they recreate it later as they are are winning,
you know, on the winning field or something. Who knows.
There's some possibilities here, but you're right, it could also
be every time Kentucky loses, this is the photo we see.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Come on this Friday at the Kentucky State Fair. You
and Mario can do it out there.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Mean you, if you really want to get your billy.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I mean, I don't see any reason of dragging me
into this. I mean, this was your task. This was
the original assignment.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Listen, I came prepared to the show.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
The original assign. You get your little You gotta post
the picture of your little mushroom Swiss army knife.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Theater of the mind, Shannon, Not everybody gets to.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
No, I think everybody needs to see that, because that
might get mocked more than this jumping video. Hey five
twenty two eighty seven. You couldn't hurt a fly with
that little knife.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Bobby Hill would say, let go my purse.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
We'll be right back. It is the KSR pre Show.
All right, welcome back. It is the KSR pre Show
eight five nine, eight twenty two eighty seven. Got some
comments rolling in from our first segment. One person says,
this is big blue or big bourbon. Kentucky says, I
carry a folding pocket knife. Everywhere I've had it. I
had to stash it around concert venues, games, et cetera.
(15:21):
He says, I forget it to my pocket. I've had
several different ones. It's just how I was raised. Yeah,
maybe some people were raised to carry around a pocket knife.
The problem is, though, like when you come to venues
where you can't have a pocket knife, you got to
either throw it away or hide it somewhere like Mattsprim
was trying to do.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Or airports.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah, yeah, I can't be doing that, David right. Tenna says,
when you're in the military, you don't get the luxury
of ice water, so you learn to drink water at
room temperature. I don't like ice in my water. All right, well,
fair enough, like I understand that. But yeah, but you
get out of the military, though, you get the luxury
of having ice water. Again. That's like saying, well, you know,
the military, all I could eat was raw ma and noodle,
so I don't eat steak now. I just eat ramen noodles.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Yeah, and I'll the text line five two two six
five six six five six. People are saying that it's
it's a way of life when it comes to these Cups,
these Stanley.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Cups way of life.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
It's not even just the younger generations. I mean parents
go into like a Little League baseball games. I mean
it would it's like a product modeling of the latest
Stanley Cup. When it comes to a lot of these games.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, I don't know. You say it's a way of life, Like,
what kind of way of life is it?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Staying hydrated?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Stay stay hydrate at Kentucky all right. This segment is

three new games added to the Kentucky men's basketball schedule.
(17:12):
So now we have the complete schedule and it's all
a part of the almighty BBN United tip Off Classic.
Are you excited about this. You get two games, three games,
but two of which will now be at it before
the Lovell game. So if you're looking at the schedule
before you had the two exhibition games versus Purdue in Georgetown,
(17:33):
then you had Lovell on the schedule. So now put
ahead of the level schedule these two games. You tell me,
are you excited about this? November fourth you get Nickels
coming to rupt Nice and then November seventh, this isn't
a bad game. You get Valpo, you know, you get
a mid major coming in to rupp Aerna before the
Loisvill game. Sure, so I don't think that's a bad
ad and you can't have Look you look at the
(17:55):
schedule from top to bottom. This is a solid schedule.
This reminds me of a type of schedule that Rick
Patino would have put together in the mid nineties, kind
of like the same kind of schedule that Mark Pope
as a player would have played against. You add in
the Indiana series. I love that that's coming back. And then,
like I said, even those two exhibition games, even though
they don't count, bringing Purdue in Georgetown to Rapperina is great.
(18:18):
So I think this is my favorite schedule top to
bottom in a very very long time.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
What do you say, Well, don't forget Gonzaga and Saint
John's with Rick Patino even playing Michigan State in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Oh Eastern Illinois. By the way, it was the third game,
which is after the Louisville Yeah, November fourteenth on that one.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
So you'll have Purdue exhibition, Georgetown exhibition, Nichols Valparaiso, and
then at Louisville. And I think these games will serve
a meaningful purpose with being before those that Louisville game, right,
just to give you some time to prepare and get
this team up to speed. Hopefully Jaden Quainton's is somebody
that's recovering from injury at that time. You know, does
(18:58):
the name of these opponents get me excited? No, but
that probably means a cheaper ticket that allows more access
for people that don't get to watch Kentucky basketball to
go to Rep. Aerna to watch Kentucky basketball. So I
think there's a ton of positives that come out of this.
But it is this like three team multi team event.
Four team events that allow you to count one game
as three are a little odd, but you know what,
(19:20):
not gonna poo poo more college basketball, actually more home games.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
For that's right, we're getting closer and closer to forty
I think you know that's the number that Pope won
it regular season games. Right.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
It's funny because we are so against the expansion of
the NCAA Tournament, but a lot of people want the
expansion of the regular Well that's.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
The thing, man, if you want to add in more games,
I am for adding in more regular season games. I
just say leave the tournament like it is because it
has worked so well for all these years. And you
start messing with a good thing, you start watering it down,
and it to me doesn't mean as much to make
the NCAA Tournament when you're adding more and more teams
(19:58):
to the tournament. So the wish that would just leave
that alone. I know they're going to eventually expand the tournament,
but at least for now they're leaving it untouched. But
it's only a matter of time on that.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Well, right, watering it down. If you keep lowering the
barrier of entry here, you're you're going to get these fifth, sixth,
seventh place teams in the Power four conferences. You're not
going to get more than majors, which is the most
unfortunate thing about it. But it's just nice to see
the schedule complete and as we count down for Kentucky football,
which is what eighteen nineteen years away? Yeah, Kentucky basketball
(20:29):
closer to like eighty four, eighty five.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Eighty five, nine, twenty two, eighty seven. Let's go to
w C. WC, what's up?
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Well, not a whole lot. Ben listened to you quite
a while. I just want to make a comment about
your pocket knives. I'm an old man.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I bet you carry one, don't you.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
We stopped it in airport for Heaven one and I'm here,
a bluegray extrem and they just took it and mailed
it back to me.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Oh okay, oh that was nice. But couldn't you just
put it in your uh you know, if you check
a bag, you could put it in.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
There, right, I guess you could. But it's a habit
that you cared for fifty years and you don't even
think about it.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
So how often would you say that you use your
pocket knife? You carry it around every day? Are you
using it every day or every day?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
W C?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Right?
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Almost every day? I use it for some.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Well, see I need now. I feel like now I
feel like I'm missing out because if you have some,
if you have a tool in your pocket that you're
using every day, and I've gone this long without ever
using one, I feel like I'm missing out. So I've
got a collection, Billy that my grandfather gave me, a
whole box of pocket knives, and I just don't carry them.
So maybe I'll start carrying a pocket knife because WC
says that he has to have one, I feel like
(21:53):
I might need one. Now, what do you think, w C?
Speaker 6 (21:57):
Use them for? Not two different things? Tighten it up
for a little screw on your glasses?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Yeap, You don't.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
You know when you're out in the garden, you see
if something's fresh and ready, I can.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Go out there and cut my pumpkins off. Yeah all right,
you know what I think. You're talking me into it,
w C. Thank you for calling. I got to let
you go. We're up against the break here, but good
to hear from you.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
So you think it's cool when w C does it,
But when Billy has a mushroom pocket, now, if you
just you should tweet it out. Billy's everybody can mock you.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I see you still haveing tweetered. Somebody's ashamed of their
pocket night.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
I see how you change up.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
We'll be right back ksrpre show eight five nine two
eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Billy, did you see
the news yesterday that AOL dial up will no longer
be available? It is finally diet a slow death. Do
you know what AOL stands for?
Speaker 3 (22:52):
See? I know what dial up is. I had dial
up back in the day. Do I know what AOL
stands for? No?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
See, you're you're so young you don't even remember AOL.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
American?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
There you go, Yeah, you got it? Yeah, ringing the
bell for what league? No American one? American online? You
got it?
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Oh, well, thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
You should have stopped before you said American offline.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Way into that.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
It's not AOL. L cool. I didn't know anybody that
still had AOL. Honestly, I didn't even know it was
still a thing. I thought that it had gone away
twenty years ago. Do you know anybody that still had
AOL dial up? And you would make that awful noise?
Oh yeah, you know. I can still hear that sound
in my head when you'd say dial up. Everybody's got
(23:38):
that that that sound like embedded in their brain permanently forever.
But is there anybody that you even know that still
has dial up?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
No, not a single person. I mean this was back
when I was a kid. My grandma used to have it.
Oh yeah it was. And you're right that that noise
I will never forget. And I'm not sure why. It's
maybe because it was so jarring I heard anything like that.
It was almost like dubstep before the genre had ever
been invented. But I did see the story and I
read In twenty twenty three, one hundred and sixty three
(24:07):
thousand households were still using dial up as their primary
Internet source. Really just over one percent of all American
households that have internet.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
So they're gonna have to upgrade to something fancy like
DSL connection or something. But you know, you had the
dial up. If somebody picked up the phone, it would
kick you off of your connection. Yeah, when you had
the dial up either or yeah, you can't be on
the phone. You can't have the house phone and the
dial up going at the same time. Not gonna work.
So I remember having to go, Uh, you're gonna to
(24:37):
get out the phone so I can get on here
and search for something on Google. You can can't be
talking on the phone and having an Internet connection at
the same time.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
So but you know, prou to AOL for making it
to this longy get to twenty twenty five. I mean
talk about a dinosaur that probably should have been extinct
a few years ago. But uh, September thirtieth, I believe
will be the last day.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Rip to AOL. Tyre's Maxie, I don't think was on
dial up when he was trying to figure out, oh
my gosh, how to use a can opener. I think
he was using Wi Fi, but he was on ig
live and he was trying to, you know, ask his followers,
how do I use a can opener? He's trying to
feed his dog, he says. Normally he has his chef
(25:18):
there to open up the can and feed his dog.
But I guess the chef was I don't know, on
vacation or maybe a sick day, and Tyre's MAXI was
left all alone with this can opener and he could
not figure it out. Now, Billy, I would say, first
of all, if I didn't know how to use something basic,
I would not go to anything live. I would probably
(25:41):
go to YouTube. There you go first, because I would
I would be embarrassed to let everybody know that I
don't know how to use a can opener. But that's
not what Tyrese Maxi did. He goes, no, let's get
on Instagram live and see if people can talk me
through how to use this thing. And I think he
was on there like an hour trying to figure it out,
and people or in the comment section, not surprisingly more
(26:04):
interested in asking him asking him about the basketball season
than trying to help him with the can opener. So
I don't think there were much help. But even when
there was somebody trying to help him, he was like
turning it the wrong way and turning the can opener vertically.
It's like, no, dude, you got to turn it the
other way. He kept flipping the can which I thought
was fantastic. It's all the same, like I can has
the same on each side, and at least he's got
(26:26):
a pull tab on it.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
He's like, I'm sorry, guys, I've only worked out my
entire life. I've never had to use a can opener,
which is which is crazy. But I love that video.
I retweeted it from your account this morning Shannon, You're right,
why go to Instagram live to figure that out? I mean,
if you.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Don't know how to do something, just YouTube it, man,
google it. Yeah, you can figure that out. YouTube is
a great resource.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I can't trust internet commenters to give me any advice, like,
I can't in good conscious think that you're going to
tell me how to actually do it. I'm just gonna
get mocked, Shannon from my mushroom pocket knife. So that's
why I would stay away from doing something like that.
But diary's different generation, Shannon. Maybe we have a theme
to this show.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Do you know how to use a can opener?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Of course?
Speaker 6 (27:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Okay, you use one before? Yes, Okay, I'm just saying
team never had every week you do? Okay? Yeah, but
they they make them now where they have those pool
tabs and you just pull it back and it's a
lot easier. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Is there anything that is basic you would consider basic
life skills that you just don't have that you don't know, like.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Hanging a picture?
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Well, I'll say this because and I've said this before,
why is there not a class in high school that
is required that is basic life skills that teaches you
how to hang a picture, change a tire, iron your clothes,
use a can opener, Like why, you know, why are
we learning long division, which ninety nine percent of people
will never use in their life. But everybody's got to
(27:57):
open a can, everybody's got to iron your clothes, You
got to hang up picture. Why is there not a
basic life skills class that every high school across America
has because these are things that come up in your life,
and when you're twenty five years old, you should be
able to open a can and know how to do
it without having to go on Instagram Live.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Well, I think the can opener. I think people just
assumed you knew how to do that now. But you're right,
you're spitting facts. I mean, to a degree, you learn
how to write a check. They even have a home
econ class where you learn how to, you know, cook
an egg. But besides that, I'm not prepared for life,
besides the textbook memorization that I've done just to pass
the class.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Right, So yeah, just don't put that egg in a can,
because then it'll never come out, you know.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
I mean, I can change a tire, don't ask me
to work on a car. Besides that, Like I can't
change my oil?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Could you jump a car?
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Yes? And have to a listener.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yeah, so you're further advanced than maybe some other people
on the show, not this show, but other shows.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
But you know what, if I don't know how to
do something, it's a quick YouTube video or a Google search,
and that's just kind of different than what it used
to be.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Right here or here's what I've learned, man, and go
on YouTube and there's anybody showing you how to do anything.
Like there's somebody showing you how to do anything. Remember
kash Ramsey, this probably predates your your time on the
kash Ramsey You would do like videos how to kick
a football and he would go out of the field
and he would kick a football. But there's I think
(29:21):
he was a pioneer in a lot of ways because
now anything you want to learn how to do, you
go to YouTube and put how to fill in the
blank and there is at least one video showing you
how to do it.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
It's just still calling the coach Callum Mark Pope shows
Oh is he okay? Yeah, he's still joining so he's
a loyal listener. So you're right, though, you can do
anything online or learned how to do anything A.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Five nine two twenty two eighty seven. Adams up next,
Hey Adam, Hey Adam.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Guys?
Speaker 5 (29:51):
You are really taking me back with the AOL talk.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yeah, I mean I think everybody back in the day
it was earned involutionary though, the AOL dial up.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Yeah, so you know we had to wait till your
parents go to bed and then you're gonna get on
a talk to your buddies.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
But you just got to get past that sound and
make sure that nobody wakes up.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Yeah, there was no mask in it. You can't mute
that AOL sound either, from what I remember. So it
was like it's gonna play no matter if it's two
in the morning or two pm. And appreciate the.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Call at him, Yeah, thank you. I didn't hear a
word he said. I was. I was taking a call there.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
But you know dial up was slow, right, I mean,
but it was.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, it took you at least thirty seconds to to get connected.
You know, it was an instant gratification. Our friend Dawayne
right ten says, what are parents for? Well, I mean,
I don't know. Not everybody grows up in a home
where you got parents there that are teaching you things.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
A lot of people shouldn't be parents nowadays.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
That's probably true too, But you know, everybody's got a
different upbringing. Everybody's home situation is different. Maybe you have
somebody that grows up in a family where they don't
learn those things. Obviously Tyre's Maxey was in that situation.
He was always in the gym. He said, he was
always working out, So I don't think opening cans was
something that he put a lot of time and effort into.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Yeah, maybe your dad is handy, he works outside a lot.
He can teach you a trade. Maybe your dad owns
a mushroom pocket knife and does a radio show for
a living and doesn't teach you these life skills.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Let's go back to the phones and talk to Casey. Morning,
case Hey, Casey, Hey, good morning fellas.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
So I called about the Tyre's Maxi video because that
is the most wholesome content I've seen online in a while.
Like he just genuinely was bumped fuzzled by that can opener.
So my question is I have two things. My question
is what's something super simple you can't do? So for me,
I'm really bad at cutting my own steak. I do it,
(31:56):
But like, if I could get somebody to do it
and not be judged, I would do it in a
heart freak because my hands in them. I had selcom
in twenty sixteenth. But so and I also can't whistle.
That's something super simple I can't do. But then, and
my other thing was I carry a pocket knece from
my purse. I just thought everybody carried a pocket knee
And that's all right, thank you guys.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
The car all right, something simple that you can't do anything?
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Parallel park is that category?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yeah, I mean it's I don't think parallel parking is simple,
but I think most people could probably do it.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
I did it to get my license, but you know,
like the people with bad vision that don't get retested,
I don't get retested for not knowing how to parallel
park it.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, so when you say it's super simple, I mean
that's all in the eye of the beholder, right, because
I can't do any kind of handyman stuff, forget it.
Don't call me to do anything beyond hanging a picture.
I can't. I can do that. Beyond that, I guess
I can build a bed. We figured that out. But
beyond that, like don't don't ask me to do anything.
I can't do anything.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
That's I'm good at the ikea. You know, the directions
are in Chinese. You got to figure it out. Give
me four hours, I'll get it done.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Yeah. Uh, let's go to Mike.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Hey, Mike, what's going on? Guys?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Hey, hey, Mike, how are you?
Speaker 6 (33:11):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Don't you think your parents could teach you some stuff?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Well that's what I was Yeah, But like I was saying,
not everybody has the privilege of growing up with having
two parents in their house. Some people grow up with
just a mom, some people maybe just a dad. Uh yeah,
So I mean, I guess some of it's on the parents.
But Mike, you know, you know, but yeah, you know
my dad, he doesn't know how to do anything, so
he didn't pass anything down to me.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Well, I guess that's true that I've had to go
over and help see him.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
See.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
But but in school, they got home economics, chalk class
drivers that teach you, you know, how to change guitar.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Yeah. I did have that at Bulleties, but I didn't
learn other things beyond that.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Was there a woodcutting class your school then.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
There might have been, but it wasn't required, so I
didn't have a whole lot of interest in high school
cutting wood, although it might have come in handy this
past weekend when I bought a bar, I gotta be like,
I gotta show you this picture of this bar and Mike,
you've seen this is my good b Yeah, that's my
good buddies, Dad, Mike, and I've got this giant bar
(34:22):
in my garage now. And they were taking it apart
putting it together over the weekend. That was part of
my weekend, and I couldn't help the guy.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
All.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
I felt so helpless because I'm watching this guy come
over and Mike, I appreciate. Did you have anything else
Mike before we let you go?
Speaker 6 (34:39):
No?
Speaker 4 (34:39):
No, I just I like your man.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
K oh. Yeah, yeah, You're welcome to come over and
have a beer anytime. Okay, all right, but uh it's okay.
So dumb idea, right, I got this man cave in
my garage. I decided I wanted a bar.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Are we talking like full size?
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I'm talking about thirteen foot long solid pine bar is
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
And a buddy of mine gets on a Facebook marketplace
and he says, hey, man, I know you've been looking
for a bar. Here's a really cool cool bar in Lexington.
So I call up the place. It's it's some of
you may know the place called the Twisted Cork. I
think it's just called the Cork. Now they're shortening it.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
I've heard that.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
But they've got new owners and they're going to revamp
and remodel the whole thing. And they were basically taking
everything out. They had this really nice bar that they
were selling at a very very very generous price, and
I said that would be perfect. So I hop in
the car, go to Lexington, run a U haul. And
I didn't like in my mind, we're just gonna pick
(35:47):
up this bar. We're gonna put it in awull, we're
gonna take it home, we're gonna unload it and boom,
we're done. Right uh uh. This thing turned into an
entire process. It was a whole day thing. And then
we had to take it apart to get it through
the the entrance because there weren't double doors. It was
like a single door, and they had to take this
huge bar through this little tiny door, loaded it up.
(36:09):
Then when we got it back home, I was like, well,
I got a bar, but I got it in a
bunch of pieces. I don't know how to put these
pieces back. So Ryan that worked at Ryan Smith was
nice enough to drive all the way from Lexington out
to Bullet County and put this thing together. And it
took them like six hours to put it together. And
I'm going, I'm so glad you came out here because
this hour. Yeah, I mean, there's it's a lot to it, man,
(36:31):
I got I got to send you a good picture
of this bar so you can see it.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Yeah, take a picture for me today. And that is
crazy though, for the super secret Shannon the Dude parties
that most KASR members don't get invited to you, I said, most, No,
not me.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Well, I know Mike by the way. Mike had just
called in. I've known him since I was a kid,
so that's why he gets he's seen it, so oh
he has. He's already been over he was already over
there having a beer on it. But I've got like
the ultimate man cave bar now thanks to the Cork
in Lexington, and you should check those guys out on
I think they're going to reopen in September. So a
big thanks to Ryan and everybody over there at the
(37:06):
Cork for helping me with my bar. Cool, really cool.
We're late for a break. We'll take more of your
phone calls coming up next. I know we've got plenty
of you waiting, so we'll get to as many of
you as we can. Coming up next eight five to
nine to twenty two eighty seven. It is the KSR
pre Show. Final segment of the KSR Pre Show A
five nine and two eight oh twenty two eighty seven
at Shannon and the Dude and that Billy are sports
On Twitter. People are asking me on Twitter if Billy
(37:27):
will be invited to come over to the bar for party. Yeah,
I mean you're you're invited all the time. I've invited
you to the derby party. Somebody didn't show up, though,
I think you blamed it on Mario.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Yeah, he had to get back because he was going
to was It Arizona the next day. I had to
get up for a flight at five am. I didn't
want to take Mario all the way out to Bullet
County and then have to go all the way back
home after that.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
So of course you're all invited. I'll make trusting out
the Facebook invite to all of you guys, so you
feel welcome next time. Yeah, yeah, let's get through some
of these calls. Let's go to Lurgin.
Speaker 7 (37:57):
Hey Logan, Hey guys, hope you're doing well. First, I
want to apologize to Billy. I was the one who
called in about bear grills the other day, and I
didn't mean to assume that Billy was the less masculine one.
I was definitely talking about whoever the guy was on
that show, because I know that he wasn't doing planks
during the commercial breaks.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Logan, logan, logan, logan, logan. No need to apologize to Billy.
He got he's got a mushroom. He's got a mushroom
shaped Swiss army knife that has a paint brush on it. Okay,
So I don't think questioning Billy's masculinity is out of
left field. I think it's perfectly fair to do that.
Speaker 7 (38:42):
Well, Billy's definitely not doing himself any favors, but initially
that was not the point. But secondly, going back to
what Billy was saying about his YouTube searches, I won't
say specifically who, but I worked for an auto glass
company and when I'm going out and doing door glasses
or badglasses, I definitely get on YouTube sometimes just to
(39:04):
see how certain cars are taking apart, because these cars
are getting crazy now and no matter how much training
you have, you'll just always run into something that you
haven't seen before.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Yep. And when in question went in doubt, go to YouTube.
That's I definitely don't go to Instagram. I can tell
you that much takes a call. Look, and I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
Well, I mean, he's right. I mean you haven't done
a three minute plank during a commercial break, Shannon, So dude, I.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Could do a five minute plank. What are you talking about?
I just want to see if you could do it.
I just wanted to see if you could hold up
to Rick Flair at the age of seventy six. You
did it. I'll give you credit for that. But then
I saw your Swiss army knife this morning, and now
I'm like.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Well, you might need a paintbers. Who knows.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Let's go to John. What's up? John?
Speaker 4 (39:45):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (39:45):
John?
Speaker 8 (39:47):
Hey, Good morning guys, John Grainville. I wouldn't apollow Jez
for Billy unless he was the fiber of the beverdamn
mistdown show Luck with Work a few years back.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Is that the show where it was like one hundred
and ten and you guys were all out in a
parking lot.
Speaker 8 (40:02):
Oh yeah, that was it empathy of their fever. Dad. Man,
it's nothing but a mount dam.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Yeah. I don't even think I was at that one,
but I remember Matt talking about it.
Speaker 8 (40:14):
Worst I've ever seen. But get back to YouTube, man,
that you can figure out anything there on YouTube. I
had to learn how to tie a natural bow tie
not long ago. I had to have a clue where
to start. We'll get on YouTube. That's like one of
the simplest thing you could ever do.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
So yeah, yeah, it's YouTube. It's nice to go.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
That's why they invited invented clip ons. That's what I'm doing.
If it's a bow tie, I'm clipping that thing on.
Thanks the colleg John, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
That's a good one, though.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Can you tie a tie?
Speaker 3 (40:43):
I can, but it was it took maybe like a
year or two of YouTube videos of having to do
it for the one or two times you had to
do it for the fraternity. So yeah, that was definitely
what I had to use. Never wore a bow tie before, though, Sham.
That seems like more up your alley. No, I don't
think I ever have any more of a bow tie.
I think of pe Wee Herman and is it Kent Rosenthal? Yeah?
Good call? Actually yeah tiny.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
All right, let's close it out with Kentucky Joe. What
better way to close out the show? The Kentucky Joe.
You got about thirty seconds? Got that, Joe?
Speaker 5 (41:12):
Well, I want to say a happy morning, but uh
but actually back in my ladies here the nine. I
used gallop. I used gallop ere your operator here in
Louisville for company. We we we sent uh we sent
money too, I mean to a local bank account.
Speaker 1 (41:35):

main co host, Billy our Sports is right now, hopefully Billy.
When you came into the buildings there at iHeart this morning,
they patted you down to make sure you didn't have
any pocket knives or anything like that on you. Are
you good? You're not packing anything this morning?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Right?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
No? No, I have a little like a Swiss army
knife Shannon keychain that I have.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
All you do? So you do carry a knife?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I am. I guess packing. I guess you could say, what.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Are you gonna do with that Swiss army knife?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I have no idea?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So you got it. You don't even know what to
do with it?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
You know, if I need to cut like a red
or a blue wire to diffuse a bomb. Maybe last
minute or something. I'm gonna have.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
What do you mean red or blue? It's one or
the other, Like if you cut the wrong one, we're
all dead.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
That's right. It means it's red or blue. So you
don't know which one, no, no, but we'll pick one
in the moment. I was just saying to you before
the show started, and it's great to be with you again.
How prepared I am for this show because of all
the show prep that we do, the Google doc we share,
switching back topics. You know, we kind of get on
a call before the show the topics we want to
(01:25):
talk about, so we're ready to go. Because of all
the prep that we do.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
The KSR pre show is true to form to the
actual KSR. For years, you know, we've been doing k
I've been a part of a KSR now for god
what fourteen years, over fourteen years going on fifteen years,
and we have never once sat down and had a
like pre show like here's what we're going to talk about.
Here are the topics. Check this out. You and I
(01:49):
don't talk at all. The first time we talk really
is when we open up the mics and start doing
this show. So from day to day, you don't know
what I'm going to bring up as topics. I don't
know what you're going to bring up his topics. But
we've done that with Matt for so many years. I
feel like I feel like, at least I'm, you know,
prepared for the unexpected. That's the best part about this show.
Sometimes you can't you can't really determine what we're going
(02:10):
to talk about. A lot of times listeners call in
and take the conversation in a completely different direction. So
you just got to be ready to react, keep your
head on a swivel.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Oh, you're right about that. Shannon can bring up his
pumpkins at any moment, and you got to be ready
to have a take about it. That's not normal. That
is very different compared to the other radio shows I
think across this land, Shannon. But maybe this is the
secret sauce. Maybe that's why we are so good at
what we do.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I guess, well, I brought up the pocket knife thing
because I don't know if you heard the conversation we
were oh yeah on KSR yesterday about Matt's friend trying
to get a pocket knife into a casino, And I
said to him, like, do people still carry pocket knives?
Like that was something that my grandpa always had on him.
He had a little pocket knife, and I don't know
why he had it, but like if he ever needed
(02:56):
a pocket knife, you know, you knew where to go,
just go to go to my grand father. He's got
a pocket knife ready at any given moment. But I
thought that was like an old man thing, like where
people carry around pocket knives? Is that like, is that
something that's more common maybe than what I realize that
people still carry a pocket knife.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I mean, I think they're in the minority, but I
think you'd be surprised on how many people might be
carrying a little something something on him. Shannon, Yeah, whether
it be the Second Amendment or a pocket knife. I
think some people want to be able to protect themselves.
And also some people don't sit on their butt and
do radio shows all day, right, I mean they maybe
need a little little something to help them get through
their day on the homestead or whatever.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
What does that mean? Like, what what do you mean? Like,
how's a pocket knife help you get through the day.
They're gonna be whittling things. Are you gonna be like
like I was telling Matt, you get a car of
an apple? Like, what are you doing with your pocket knife?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I don't know, stick, Yeah, maybe I gotta protect my
my livestock. Who knows, Shannon, there's maybe I need Yeah,
I need to cut some fruit. Like you said, you
already hit the apples and the whittling, and yeah, I
mean for city folk like us, that's about all we'd
need a knife for. So, but there's there's people out
there that I'm sure putting it to good use.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Right, Is there any I guess? Is there anything in
my pocket knife? Is there anything other than like phone, wallet,
keys that you cannot leave that you can't leave the
house without, Like your Swiss army knife. You said that
you have it on you right now. You have a
Swiss army knife.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah, here it is.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So what's on the Swiss army knife? You got the blade?
You got like the little many scissors of which I guess.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
So, look, this is a mushroom Look if you could
see this?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Okay, Okay, that doesn't you got a mushroom knife?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
And look there's a blade, and then I have this
little like paintbrush. Look at you.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Oh my god, that is the most sissy looking Swiss
army knife. And you've got to tweet a picture of
that out.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oh I got this as a gift.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Why do you last week? Why do you guys?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
As a gift last week? Oh and look at this?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Is this a can opens it like a nail file.
You're gonna follow your nails while you're out in the wilderness.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
But literally, I got it like a week ago, and
she made me put it on my key. So that's
why I have that. So the pocket knife discussion yesterday, Yeah,
she is perfect timing?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Is that the fiance when you say she yeah, so
she got you a little mushroom Swiss army knife.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
That's right, And now I can whittle whenever I want.
Unlike you, you could see her and keep crocheting or
whatever came.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I cannot believe you were actually carrying around a little
Swiss mushroom pocket knife. That that I mean, like I
was joking when I said, do you have a knife
on you? And sure enough you had one.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Well I did not.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Expected to be inside of a mushroom.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
If we're not going to do Google docs and show prep,
then at least let me show up with my mushroom knife.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Speaking of things like people don't leave home without when
did this become a thing where women have to have
a giant sip cup with them at all times? The
Stanley cups? When did that become like such a thing.
Because I cannot leave the house with Sarah without her
having she a lot of times has two of these things.
(06:05):
Why do you need, first of all, one giant cup.
You're taking up both of the cup holders in the car,
and she's got two giant Stanley cups. She's like, well,
one's my water and one's my whatever. Some kind of
mix she's got in there, you know, like mixing in
the Stanley Well, I mean like that hydrate stuff, liquid
ivy stuff like that, you know, nothing, Not talking about alcohol.
(06:27):
I'm just talking about she has two different giant cups.
I'm going like, we're going two miles up the road,
why do you have to have that stuff? But it
seems like I see a lot of not just her,
I'm picking on her, a lot of women. You see
them out like in a grocery store. They got to
have these giant Stanley cups with them. I don't know
like when that became a thing and why that's so
necessary to have a gallon of water with you at
(06:48):
all times?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Very popular. If you go on to any college campus,
I'm going to guarantee that eighty five percent of the
women on the campus would probably have a Stanley cup.
And let's not leave the men out of this. I mean,
Yeti's are pretty popular too.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I love but Yetty, Look, I love Yetti's. I have
one myself. I don't take it everywhere I go. That's
that's my point. Like, why do you have You're leaving
the house for five minutes, Why do you need a
giant Stanley cup with you at all times? It's like
it's permanently attached.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
It's like a fear of dehydration or something.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, Like you're gonna be back in five minutes. I'm
pretty sure you're gonna be okay. Like you're not going
out to the Sahara for a week, You're going up.
It's a mile down the road, You're coming right back.
Why do you need that?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
But business is booming, like a lot of people buy
these Stanley cups. Like if you're looking at some of
the most popular items around Christmas time over the last
couple of years, Shan and those Stanley cups have been
flying off the shelves. I remember they did a collab
with Starbucks, and I mean it was like finding a
Willy Wonka's Golden ticket. They were so popular. People pushing
each other over in the target to try to get
(07:53):
like one or two of these things. So I don't know.
So are you telling me you don't have your your
Stanley cup loaded up with ice cubes and water this morning?
Speaker 5 (07:59):
No?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I mean, like you're just dehydrating yourself.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Well, if they supply us with waters, that's the one
thing they do give us here, raw noodles and water.
So we have, you know, bottles of water that are
that are in the refrigerator. So I just grab one
of those. See, I figure, Billy, that I can make
it from my house to the radio station without dying
of dehydration. I don't have to have the Stanley cup
with me. Like I could wait twenty minutes, twenty five
(08:22):
minutes to get to the station and then I can
have my water.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Okay, well you might you might find yourself in like
a long meeting or a conference call later in the day.
You can't get up to go to the water fountain. Boom,
Stanley cup. It's hydrated, okay, But Europeans look at us
a little weird when it comes to water and like ice.
Like I think Matt went over to Europe and they
just don't have any ice over there.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Well, I mean, that's a lot of restaurants in New York.
You go there, you ask for a water, they give
you a couple of room temperature of water.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Well I didn't know that, so they give you no ice.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
In well, No, not not all places, but I mean
a lot of places you go to you ask for
a water, you have to specify I want ice with it?
What cycle path drinks water?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I don't want room temperature water. It's easier, easier to digest,
I guess because cold water sits on your stomach. So
actually they recommend you drink room water temperature I believe.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
But now give me some cold I mean, if I
want it room temperature water, I would just go drink
out of the fire hose or something, you know, Like
I want ice in my water. I don't. I don't
understand people who don't like ice water.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
No, I know what Shannon the Dude was doing back
in the day. He was slurping the water fountain back
in elementary or one of those lockers around the thing
to make sure you just get all that water.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
No, wonder kids get sick all the time, right, I
mean when they're doing maybe stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Now one of the other topics from yesterday, and I
know that Kentucky just finished out their their basketball schedule.
We'll get into that maybe in the second segment or
maybe this second we'll see how it goes. Uh that
the the video of the Kentucky football players, oh Billy
doing doing this uh this jump. If you haven't seen
it yet, I don't really know how to describe it.
(09:57):
I would just say look it up. I tweetered it
at out at Shannon to the dude on Twitter. I think,
did you tweet it out this morning as well?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
No, I didn't. I can retweet it from you though.
I have not seen it though, until you guys talk about.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I was a little disappointed we didn't talk about on
the pre show yesterday. But you know what, you didn't
see it, so that's okay. We talked about it at
great extent yesterday on KSR, but I wanted to get
your take on this. You know, if you're a football player,
you try to. I think in most cases, billy show
a side of toughness, maybe a little bit of macho
(10:31):
miss if that's even a word to you know, show
that you're a big, tough, mean football player. And this
video that was posted by a couple of football players
over the weekend is the exact opposite of that. They're
holding hands, facing each other like they're about to get married,
and then they jump with both legs kicking behind them.
(10:52):
It kind of reminded me. You see a lot of weddings.
Bridesmaids do this, like when they have like a wedding
on a beach. You'll see them all jump in the
air and throw their arms up and their legs behind
them and you get a picture of them all in
the air. That's kind of what these two football players
for Kentucky did, And I would like to think that
it was not their idea. I would just want to
(11:13):
hope that it was the photographer who's like, you need
to do this. This is a trend. It's gonna go viral,
it's gonna be awesome, everybody's gonna love it, and they
talk the players into doing it, not that it was
the player's idea. That's what I would like to think anyway,
And Matt tried to get you and Mario to recreate
that yesterday. You had no part of it. You want it,
no part of that.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Listen. I'm billy confident, but I don't have enough confidence
in my masculinity to do that kind of jump for
a photograph that would live on forever. Shannon, what were
these guys thinking?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I did? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
It must be a different generation thing because I see
Brandon Garrison in the Kentucky basketball team post tiktoks all
the time. Maybe some tiktoks I probably wouldn't put myself
out there. Maybe there's just a generational gap where these
guys are connecting with their teammates, they're posting online. It's
fun to hear the feedback, and they think of it
a lot differently than we do. That still does not
(12:05):
excuse the pose that these guys were doing in this photograph.
This football photograph shan so much so that it feels
like in it is Kentucky is getting mocked by other
secs all horrible as being told to leave the conference,
and that seems a little harsh. But at the same time,
the image of that photo, once you see it just
(12:26):
does not look like something that you know, I've seen
before from an SEC football player. So it's just shocking.
It's jarring, I think is the word that I might
use to see, you know, football players doing a little
dancy dance.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Nobody thought that one through. Nobody thought this is going
to be mocked. My question is, how do you not
know that people were going to mock a video of
two football players doing that type of video?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
But can you live life like that? Shannon? I would
say that you're better than most at not caring what
other people think. Who cares what other fans base think?
Kentucky still is in the SEC. Who cares what they
say about the jumping photo? I cared? Uh, That's why
I didn't do the photo.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I mean, I understand not caring about what people think
about you, but when you put yourself out there like that,
you got to be willing to accept the criticism that's
going to follow.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Sure, that's so a lot of people were thinking that
Kentucky was going to go like four and eight. Now
after that video, a lot of people were saying like
two and ten.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
So I explaited a second. So, like, you've you've been
this high horse six and six kind of guy. I mean,
does this change your right does?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It doesn't for me because I don't think that these
two guys are going to get a whole lot of
playing time. Okay, so I don't think it's really going
to matter, but it's going to give all the other
It already has given all the other fan bases out
there plenty of fuel. And expect to see that meme
a lot that that's not going away. Just so you know,
that's not going to be the last time that you
see that video going around and going viral. It's gonna
(14:01):
viral several times, I think this season.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
But hopefully can be used positively as well. Maybe you
just put a beat down on your rival.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Oh yeah, you could say you just got beat You
just got beat by this this right here, just beat you.
I love those.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Maybe they recreate it later as they are are winning,
you know, on the winning field or something. Who knows.
There's some possibilities here, but you're right, it could also
be every time Kentucky loses, this is the photo we see.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Come on this Friday at the Kentucky State Fair. You
and Mario can do it out there.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Mean you, if you really want to get your billy.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I mean, I don't see any reason of dragging me
into this. I mean, this was your task. This was
the original assignment.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Listen, I came prepared to the show.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
The original assign. You get your little You gotta post
the picture of your little mushroom Swiss army knife.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Theater of the mind, Shannon, Not everybody gets to.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
No, I think everybody needs to see that, because that
might get mocked more than this jumping video. Hey five
twenty two eighty seven. You couldn't hurt a fly with
that little knife.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Bobby Hill would say, let go my purse.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
We'll be right back. It is the KSR pre Show.
All right, welcome back. It is the KSR pre Show
eight five nine, eight twenty two eighty seven. Got some
comments rolling in from our first segment. One person says,
this is big blue or big bourbon. Kentucky says, I
carry a folding pocket knife. Everywhere I've had it. I
had to stash it around concert venues, games, et cetera.
(15:21):
He says, I forget it to my pocket. I've had
several different ones. It's just how I was raised. Yeah,
maybe some people were raised to carry around a pocket knife.
The problem is, though, like when you come to venues
where you can't have a pocket knife, you got to
either throw it away or hide it somewhere like Mattsprim
was trying to do.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Or airports.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah, yeah, I can't be doing that, David right. Tenna says,
when you're in the military, you don't get the luxury
of ice water, so you learn to drink water at
room temperature. I don't like ice in my water. All right, well,
fair enough, like I understand that. But yeah, but you
get out of the military, though, you get the luxury
of having ice water. Again. That's like saying, well, you know,
the military, all I could eat was raw ma and noodle,
so I don't eat steak now. I just eat ramen noodles.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Yeah, and I'll the text line five two two six
five six six five six. People are saying that it's
it's a way of life when it comes to these Cups,
these Stanley.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Cups way of life.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
It's not even just the younger generations. I mean parents
go into like a Little League baseball games. I mean
it would it's like a product modeling of the latest
Stanley Cup. When it comes to a lot of these games.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, I don't know. You say it's a way of life, Like,
what kind of way of life is it?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Staying hydrated?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Stay stay hydrate at Kentucky all right. This segment is

three new games added to the Kentucky men's basketball schedule.
(17:12):
So now we have the complete schedule and it's all
a part of the almighty BBN United tip Off Classic.
Are you excited about this. You get two games, three games,
but two of which will now be at it before
the Lovell game. So if you're looking at the schedule
before you had the two exhibition games versus Purdue in Georgetown,
(17:33):
then you had Lovell on the schedule. So now put
ahead of the level schedule these two games. You tell me,
are you excited about this? November fourth you get Nickels
coming to rupt Nice and then November seventh, this isn't
a bad game. You get Valpo, you know, you get
a mid major coming in to rupp Aerna before the
Loisvill game. Sure, so I don't think that's a bad
ad and you can't have Look you look at the
(17:55):
schedule from top to bottom. This is a solid schedule.
This reminds me of a type of schedule that Rick
Patino would have put together in the mid nineties, kind
of like the same kind of schedule that Mark Pope
as a player would have played against. You add in
the Indiana series. I love that that's coming back. And then,
like I said, even those two exhibition games, even though
they don't count, bringing Purdue in Georgetown to Rapperina is great.
(18:18):
So I think this is my favorite schedule top to
bottom in a very very long time.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
What do you say, Well, don't forget Gonzaga and Saint
John's with Rick Patino even playing Michigan State in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Oh Eastern Illinois. By the way, it was the third game,
which is after the Louisville Yeah, November fourteenth on that one.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
So you'll have Purdue exhibition, Georgetown exhibition, Nichols Valparaiso, and
then at Louisville. And I think these games will serve
a meaningful purpose with being before those that Louisville game, right,
just to give you some time to prepare and get
this team up to speed. Hopefully Jaden Quainton's is somebody
that's recovering from injury at that time. You know, does
(18:58):
the name of these opponents get me excited? No, but
that probably means a cheaper ticket that allows more access
for people that don't get to watch Kentucky basketball to
go to Rep. Aerna to watch Kentucky basketball. So I
think there's a ton of positives that come out of this.
But it is this like three team multi team event.
Four team events that allow you to count one game
as three are a little odd, but you know what,
(19:20):
not gonna poo poo more college basketball, actually more home games.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
For that's right, we're getting closer and closer to forty
I think you know that's the number that Pope won
it regular season games. Right.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
It's funny because we are so against the expansion of
the NCAA Tournament, but a lot of people want the
expansion of the regular Well that's.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
The thing, man, if you want to add in more games,
I am for adding in more regular season games. I
just say leave the tournament like it is because it
has worked so well for all these years. And you
start messing with a good thing, you start watering it down,
and it to me doesn't mean as much to make
the NCAA Tournament when you're adding more and more teams
(19:58):
to the tournament. So the wish that would just leave
that alone. I know they're going to eventually expand the tournament,
but at least for now they're leaving it untouched. But
it's only a matter of time on that.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Well, right, watering it down. If you keep lowering the
barrier of entry here, you're you're going to get these fifth, sixth,
seventh place teams in the Power four conferences. You're not
going to get more than majors, which is the most
unfortunate thing about it. But it's just nice to see
the schedule complete and as we count down for Kentucky football,
which is what eighteen nineteen years away? Yeah, Kentucky basketball
(20:29):
closer to like eighty four, eighty five.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Eighty five, nine, twenty two, eighty seven. Let's go to
w C. WC, what's up?
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Well, not a whole lot. Ben listened to you quite
a while. I just want to make a comment about
your pocket knives. I'm an old man.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I bet you carry one, don't you.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
We stopped it in airport for Heaven one and I'm here,
a bluegray extrem and they just took it and mailed
it back to me.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Oh okay, oh that was nice. But couldn't you just
put it in your uh you know, if you check
a bag, you could put it in.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
There, right, I guess you could. But it's a habit
that you cared for fifty years and you don't even
think about it.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
So how often would you say that you use your
pocket knife? You carry it around every day? Are you
using it every day or every day?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
W C?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Right?
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Almost every day? I use it for some.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Well, see I need now. I feel like now I
feel like I'm missing out because if you have some,
if you have a tool in your pocket that you're
using every day, and I've gone this long without ever
using one, I feel like I'm missing out. So I've
got a collection, Billy that my grandfather gave me, a
whole box of pocket knives, and I just don't carry them.
So maybe I'll start carrying a pocket knife because WC
says that he has to have one, I feel like
(21:53):
I might need one. Now, what do you think, w C?
Speaker 6 (21:57):
Use them for? Not two different things? Tighten it up
for a little screw on your glasses?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Yeap, You don't.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
You know when you're out in the garden, you see
if something's fresh and ready, I can.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Go out there and cut my pumpkins off. Yeah all right,
you know what I think. You're talking me into it,
w C. Thank you for calling. I got to let
you go. We're up against the break here, but good
to hear from you.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
So you think it's cool when w C does it,
But when Billy has a mushroom pocket, now, if you
just you should tweet it out. Billy's everybody can mock you.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I see you still haveing tweetered. Somebody's ashamed of their
pocket night.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
I see how you change up.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
We'll be right back ksrpre show eight five nine two
eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Billy, did you see
the news yesterday that AOL dial up will no longer
be available? It is finally diet a slow death. Do
you know what AOL stands for?
Speaker 3 (22:52):
See? I know what dial up is. I had dial
up back in the day. Do I know what AOL
stands for? No?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
See, you're you're so young you don't even remember AOL.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
American?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
There you go, Yeah, you got it? Yeah, ringing the
bell for what league? No American one? American online? You
got it?
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Oh, well, thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
You should have stopped before you said American offline.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Way into that.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
It's not AOL. L cool. I didn't know anybody that
still had AOL. Honestly, I didn't even know it was
still a thing. I thought that it had gone away
twenty years ago. Do you know anybody that still had
AOL dial up? And you would make that awful noise?
Oh yeah, you know. I can still hear that sound
in my head when you'd say dial up. Everybody's got
(23:38):
that that that sound like embedded in their brain permanently forever.
But is there anybody that you even know that still
has dial up?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
No, not a single person. I mean this was back
when I was a kid. My grandma used to have it.
Oh yeah it was. And you're right that that noise
I will never forget. And I'm not sure why. It's
maybe because it was so jarring I heard anything like that.
It was almost like dubstep before the genre had ever
been invented. But I did see the story and I
read In twenty twenty three, one hundred and sixty three
(24:07):
thousand households were still using dial up as their primary
Internet source. Really just over one percent of all American
households that have internet.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
So they're gonna have to upgrade to something fancy like
DSL connection or something. But you know, you had the
dial up. If somebody picked up the phone, it would
kick you off of your connection. Yeah, when you had
the dial up either or yeah, you can't be on
the phone. You can't have the house phone and the
dial up going at the same time. Not gonna work.
So I remember having to go, Uh, you're gonna to
(24:37):
get out the phone so I can get on here
and search for something on Google. You can can't be
talking on the phone and having an Internet connection at
the same time.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
So but you know, prou to AOL for making it
to this longy get to twenty twenty five. I mean
talk about a dinosaur that probably should have been extinct
a few years ago. But uh, September thirtieth, I believe
will be the last day.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Rip to AOL. Tyre's Maxie, I don't think was on
dial up when he was trying to figure out, oh
my gosh, how to use a can opener. I think
he was using Wi Fi, but he was on ig
live and he was trying to, you know, ask his followers,
how do I use a can opener? He's trying to
feed his dog, he says. Normally he has his chef
(25:18):
there to open up the can and feed his dog.
But I guess the chef was I don't know, on
vacation or maybe a sick day, and Tyre's MAXI was
left all alone with this can opener and he could
not figure it out. Now, Billy, I would say, first
of all, if I didn't know how to use something basic,
I would not go to anything live. I would probably
(25:41):
go to YouTube. There you go first, because I would
I would be embarrassed to let everybody know that I
don't know how to use a can opener. But that's
not what Tyrese Maxi did. He goes, no, let's get
on Instagram live and see if people can talk me
through how to use this thing. And I think he
was on there like an hour trying to figure it out,
and people or in the comment section, not surprisingly more
(26:04):
interested in asking him asking him about the basketball season
than trying to help him with the can opener. So
I don't think there were much help. But even when
there was somebody trying to help him, he was like
turning it the wrong way and turning the can opener vertically.
It's like, no, dude, you got to turn it the
other way. He kept flipping the can which I thought
was fantastic. It's all the same, like I can has
the same on each side, and at least he's got
(26:26):
a pull tab on it.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
He's like, I'm sorry, guys, I've only worked out my
entire life. I've never had to use a can opener,
which is which is crazy. But I love that video.
I retweeted it from your account this morning Shannon, You're right,
why go to Instagram live to figure that out? I mean,
if you.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Don't know how to do something, just YouTube it, man,
google it. Yeah, you can figure that out. YouTube is
a great resource.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I can't trust internet commenters to give me any advice, like,
I can't in good conscious think that you're going to
tell me how to actually do it. I'm just gonna
get mocked, Shannon from my mushroom pocket knife. So that's
why I would stay away from doing something like that.
But diary's different generation, Shannon. Maybe we have a theme
to this show.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Do you know how to use a can opener?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Of course?
Speaker 6 (27:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Okay, you use one before? Yes, Okay, I'm just saying
team never had every week you do? Okay? Yeah, but
they they make them now where they have those pool
tabs and you just pull it back and it's a
lot easier. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Is there anything that is basic you would consider basic
life skills that you just don't have that you don't know, like.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Hanging a picture?
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Well, I'll say this because and I've said this before,
why is there not a class in high school that
is required that is basic life skills that teaches you
how to hang a picture, change a tire, iron your clothes,
use a can opener, Like why, you know, why are
we learning long division, which ninety nine percent of people
will never use in their life. But everybody's got to
(27:57):
open a can, everybody's got to iron your clothes, You
got to hang up picture. Why is there not a
basic life skills class that every high school across America
has because these are things that come up in your life,
and when you're twenty five years old, you should be
able to open a can and know how to do
it without having to go on Instagram Live.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Well, I think the can opener. I think people just
assumed you knew how to do that now. But you're right,
you're spitting facts. I mean, to a degree, you learn
how to write a check. They even have a home
econ class where you learn how to, you know, cook
an egg. But besides that, I'm not prepared for life,
besides the textbook memorization that I've done just to pass
the class.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Right, So yeah, just don't put that egg in a can,
because then it'll never come out, you know.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
I mean, I can change a tire, don't ask me
to work on a car. Besides that, Like I can't
change my oil?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Could you jump a car?
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Yes? And have to a listener.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yeah, so you're further advanced than maybe some other people
on the show, not this show, but other shows.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
But you know what, if I don't know how to
do something, it's a quick YouTube video or a Google search,
and that's just kind of different than what it used
to be.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Right here or here's what I've learned, man, and go
on YouTube and there's anybody showing you how to do anything.
Like there's somebody showing you how to do anything. Remember
kash Ramsey, this probably predates your your time on the
kash Ramsey You would do like videos how to kick
a football and he would go out of the field
and he would kick a football. But there's I think
(29:21):
he was a pioneer in a lot of ways because
now anything you want to learn how to do, you
go to YouTube and put how to fill in the
blank and there is at least one video showing you
how to do it.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
It's just still calling the coach Callum Mark Pope shows
Oh is he okay? Yeah, he's still joining so he's
a loyal listener. So you're right, though, you can do
anything online or learned how to do anything A.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Five nine two twenty two eighty seven. Adams up next,
Hey Adam, Hey Adam.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Guys?
Speaker 5 (29:51):
You are really taking me back with the AOL talk.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yeah, I mean I think everybody back in the day
it was earned involutionary though, the AOL dial up.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Yeah, so you know we had to wait till your
parents go to bed and then you're gonna get on
a talk to your buddies.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
But you just got to get past that sound and
make sure that nobody wakes up.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Yeah, there was no mask in it. You can't mute
that AOL sound either, from what I remember. So it
was like it's gonna play no matter if it's two
in the morning or two pm. And appreciate the.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Call at him, Yeah, thank you. I didn't hear a
word he said. I was. I was taking a call there.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
But you know dial up was slow, right, I mean,
but it was.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, it took you at least thirty seconds to to get connected.
You know, it was an instant gratification. Our friend Dawayne
right ten says, what are parents for? Well, I mean,
I don't know. Not everybody grows up in a home
where you got parents there that are teaching you things.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
A lot of people shouldn't be parents nowadays.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
That's probably true too, But you know, everybody's got a
different upbringing. Everybody's home situation is different. Maybe you have
somebody that grows up in a family where they don't
learn those things. Obviously Tyre's Maxey was in that situation.
He was always in the gym. He said, he was
always working out, So I don't think opening cans was
something that he put a lot of time and effort into.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Yeah, maybe your dad is handy, he works outside a lot.
He can teach you a trade. Maybe your dad owns
a mushroom pocket knife and does a radio show for
a living and doesn't teach you these life skills.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Let's go back to the phones and talk to Casey. Morning,
case Hey, Casey, Hey, good morning fellas.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
So I called about the Tyre's Maxi video because that
is the most wholesome content I've seen online in a while.
Like he just genuinely was bumped fuzzled by that can opener.
So my question is I have two things. My question
is what's something super simple you can't do? So for me,
I'm really bad at cutting my own steak. I do it,
(31:56):
But like, if I could get somebody to do it
and not be judged, I would do it in a
heart freak because my hands in them. I had selcom
in twenty sixteenth. But so and I also can't whistle.
That's something super simple I can't do. But then, and
my other thing was I carry a pocket knece from
my purse. I just thought everybody carried a pocket knee
And that's all right, thank you guys.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
The car all right, something simple that you can't do anything?
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Parallel park is that category?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yeah, I mean it's I don't think parallel parking is simple,
but I think most people could probably do it.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
I did it to get my license, but you know,
like the people with bad vision that don't get retested,
I don't get retested for not knowing how to parallel
park it.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, so when you say it's super simple, I mean
that's all in the eye of the beholder, right, because
I can't do any kind of handyman stuff, forget it.
Don't call me to do anything beyond hanging a picture.
I can't. I can do that. Beyond that, I guess
I can build a bed. We figured that out. But
beyond that, like don't don't ask me to do anything.
I can't do anything.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
That's I'm good at the ikea. You know, the directions
are in Chinese. You got to figure it out. Give
me four hours, I'll get it done.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Yeah. Uh, let's go to Mike.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Hey, Mike, what's going on? Guys?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Hey, hey, Mike, how are you?
Speaker 6 (33:11):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Don't you think your parents could teach you some stuff?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Well that's what I was Yeah, But like I was saying,
not everybody has the privilege of growing up with having
two parents in their house. Some people grow up with
just a mom, some people maybe just a dad. Uh yeah,
So I mean, I guess some of it's on the parents.
But Mike, you know, you know, but yeah, you know
my dad, he doesn't know how to do anything, so
he didn't pass anything down to me.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Well, I guess that's true that I've had to go
over and help see him.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
See.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
But but in school, they got home economics, chalk class
drivers that teach you, you know, how to change guitar.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Yeah. I did have that at Bulleties, but I didn't
learn other things beyond that.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Was there a woodcutting class your school then.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
There might have been, but it wasn't required, so I
didn't have a whole lot of interest in high school
cutting wood, although it might have come in handy this
past weekend when I bought a bar, I gotta be like,
I gotta show you this picture of this bar and Mike,
you've seen this is my good b Yeah, that's my
good buddies, Dad, Mike, and I've got this giant bar
(34:22):
in my garage now. And they were taking it apart
putting it together over the weekend. That was part of
my weekend, and I couldn't help the guy.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
All.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
I felt so helpless because I'm watching this guy come
over and Mike, I appreciate. Did you have anything else
Mike before we let you go?
Speaker 6 (34:39):
No?
Speaker 4 (34:39):
No, I just I like your man.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
K oh. Yeah, yeah, You're welcome to come over and
have a beer anytime. Okay, all right, but uh it's okay.
So dumb idea, right, I got this man cave in
my garage. I decided I wanted a bar.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Are we talking like full size?
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I'm talking about thirteen foot long solid pine bar is
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
And a buddy of mine gets on a Facebook marketplace
and he says, hey, man, I know you've been looking
for a bar. Here's a really cool cool bar in Lexington.
So I call up the place. It's it's some of
you may know the place called the Twisted Cork. I
think it's just called the Cork. Now they're shortening it.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
I've heard that.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
But they've got new owners and they're going to revamp
and remodel the whole thing. And they were basically taking
everything out. They had this really nice bar that they
were selling at a very very very generous price, and
I said that would be perfect. So I hop in
the car, go to Lexington, run a U haul. And
I didn't like in my mind, we're just gonna pick
(35:47):
up this bar. We're gonna put it in awull, we're
gonna take it home, we're gonna unload it and boom,
we're done. Right uh uh. This thing turned into an
entire process. It was a whole day thing. And then
we had to take it apart to get it through
the the entrance because there weren't double doors. It was
like a single door, and they had to take this
huge bar through this little tiny door, loaded it up.
(36:09):
Then when we got it back home, I was like, well,
I got a bar, but I got it in a
bunch of pieces. I don't know how to put these
pieces back. So Ryan that worked at Ryan Smith was
nice enough to drive all the way from Lexington out
to Bullet County and put this thing together. And it
took them like six hours to put it together. And
I'm going, I'm so glad you came out here because
this hour. Yeah, I mean, there's it's a lot to it, man,
(36:31):
I got I got to send you a good picture
of this bar so you can see it.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Yeah, take a picture for me today. And that is
crazy though, for the super secret Shannon the Dude parties
that most KASR members don't get invited to you, I said, most, No,
not me.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Well, I know Mike by the way. Mike had just
called in. I've known him since I was a kid,
so that's why he gets he's seen it, so oh
he has. He's already been over he was already over
there having a beer on it. But I've got like
the ultimate man cave bar now thanks to the Cork
in Lexington, and you should check those guys out on
I think they're going to reopen in September. So a
big thanks to Ryan and everybody over there at the
(37:06):
Cork for helping me with my bar. Cool, really cool.
We're late for a break. We'll take more of your
phone calls coming up next. I know we've got plenty
of you waiting, so we'll get to as many of
you as we can. Coming up next eight five to
nine to twenty two eighty seven. It is the KSR
pre Show. Final segment of the KSR Pre Show A
five nine and two eight oh twenty two eighty seven
at Shannon and the Dude and that Billy are sports
On Twitter. People are asking me on Twitter if Billy
(37:27):
will be invited to come over to the bar for party. Yeah,
I mean you're you're invited all the time. I've invited
you to the derby party. Somebody didn't show up, though,
I think you blamed it on Mario.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Yeah, he had to get back because he was going
to was It Arizona the next day. I had to
get up for a flight at five am. I didn't
want to take Mario all the way out to Bullet
County and then have to go all the way back
home after that.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
So of course you're all invited. I'll make trusting out
the Facebook invite to all of you guys, so you
feel welcome next time. Yeah, yeah, let's get through some
of these calls. Let's go to Lurgin.
Speaker 7 (37:57):
Hey Logan, Hey guys, hope you're doing well. First, I
want to apologize to Billy. I was the one who
called in about bear grills the other day, and I
didn't mean to assume that Billy was the less masculine one.
I was definitely talking about whoever the guy was on
that show, because I know that he wasn't doing planks
during the commercial breaks.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Logan, logan, logan, logan, logan. No need to apologize to Billy.
He got he's got a mushroom. He's got a mushroom
shaped Swiss army knife that has a paint brush on it. Okay,
So I don't think questioning Billy's masculinity is out of
left field. I think it's perfectly fair to do that.
Speaker 7 (38:42):
Well, Billy's definitely not doing himself any favors, but initially
that was not the point. But secondly, going back to
what Billy was saying about his YouTube searches, I won't
say specifically who, but I worked for an auto glass
company and when I'm going out and doing door glasses
or badglasses, I definitely get on YouTube sometimes just to
(39:04):
see how certain cars are taking apart, because these cars
are getting crazy now and no matter how much training
you have, you'll just always run into something that you
haven't seen before.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Yep. And when in question went in doubt, go to YouTube.
That's I definitely don't go to Instagram. I can tell
you that much takes a call. Look, and I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
Well, I mean, he's right. I mean you haven't done
a three minute plank during a commercial break, Shannon, So dude, I.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Could do a five minute plank. What are you talking about?
I just want to see if you could do it.
I just wanted to see if you could hold up
to Rick Flair at the age of seventy six. You
did it. I'll give you credit for that. But then
I saw your Swiss army knife this morning, and now
I'm like.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Well, you might need a paintbers. Who knows.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Let's go to John. What's up? John?
Speaker 4 (39:45):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (39:45):
John?
Speaker 8 (39:47):
Hey, Good morning guys, John Grainville. I wouldn't apollow Jez
for Billy unless he was the fiber of the beverdamn
mistdown show Luck with Work a few years back.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Is that the show where it was like one hundred
and ten and you guys were all out in a
parking lot.
Speaker 8 (40:02):
Oh yeah, that was it empathy of their fever. Dad. Man,
it's nothing but a mount dam.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Yeah. I don't even think I was at that one,
but I remember Matt talking about it.
Speaker 8 (40:14):
Worst I've ever seen. But get back to YouTube, man,
that you can figure out anything there on YouTube. I
had to learn how to tie a natural bow tie
not long ago. I had to have a clue where
to start. We'll get on YouTube. That's like one of
the simplest thing you could ever do.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
So yeah, yeah, it's YouTube. It's nice to go.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
That's why they invited invented clip ons. That's what I'm doing.
If it's a bow tie, I'm clipping that thing on.
Thanks the colleg John, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
That's a good one, though.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Can you tie a tie?
Speaker 3 (40:43):
I can, but it was it took maybe like a
year or two of YouTube videos of having to do
it for the one or two times you had to
do it for the fraternity. So yeah, that was definitely
what I had to use. Never wore a bow tie before, though, Sham.
That seems like more up your alley. No, I don't
think I ever have any more of a bow tie.
I think of pe Wee Herman and is it Kent Rosenthal? Yeah?
Good call? Actually yeah tiny.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
All right, let's close it out with Kentucky Joe. What
better way to close out the show? The Kentucky Joe.
You got about thirty seconds? Got that, Joe?
Speaker 5 (41:12):
Well, I want to say a happy morning, but uh
but actually back in my ladies here the nine. I
used gallop. I used gallop ere your operator here in
Louisville for company. We we we sent uh we sent
money too, I mean to a local bank account.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
They all right, Joe, Well, I gotta let you go.
We're up against it. This shows I don't know what
that call was about. Yeah, it's one of to tell
us he uses doll up with everybody else. Promo coke
ks R bet five get two hundred dollars in bonus
bats only on DraftKings. The crown is yours, Billy Releds.
We're stating the dude, We'll talk to you tomorrow. Thanks
for listening.

I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
