Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show.
Today is Wednesday, August thirteenth. I'm Billy rut Loderl along
with Shannon the Dude. You can give us a call
on the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line. That's eight five
nine two eight zero two two eight seven. Text us
at five h two two six five six sixty five
six and is always The KSR pre Show is brought

(00:21):
to you by Italics Fine Italian Dining right here in Lexington, Kentucky.
That's where I'm at today, where the first day of school.
Traffic is flowing. And if you get too late to
work today, maybe the boss should give you a pass
because everybody's out getting their kid to kindergarten, dropping them
off at the bus stop. Today is the first day
of class for a lot of people today, not for us, though.

(00:42):
We are in session every day here at nine am
on the ksrpre Show. Shannon Dude, who's in Louisville? What's
up man? How are you hey?

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yeah? I can tell school's back in Louisville. Two. Because
of the traffic every morning, it's a fight for my
life to get here on time. And now I've got
to leave like an extra ten to fifteen minutes earlier
because of school being back. So yep, welcome back to
school kids, get back to work.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Were you a bus rider back in the day or
a car rider they'd drop you off right at the
front door of the school, or did you have to
slum it through the rain in the snow.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, I was a bus rider for a while. I
mean not, you know, then I got my license, then
I could drive myself. But when I was talking about
the ministry of your life, yeah, elementary, middle school, first
year or two of high school, I was a bus rider.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah. I never did it in grade school, but I
did it in middle school and in high school, Shannon,
And those are some great times, I'll be honest with you,
hanging out with some friends on the bus, even though
sometimes I guess if it wasn't the JCPS bus route
when you're getting home at eight pm. But I thought
those were some of my formative times.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
We had some real problem children on my bus. Like
they would just do like they would do awful things,
you know, like this one guy would just take colored pencils,
you know those color pencils you had. Sure, Yeah, they
would like take me to break them apart in little
pieces and just throw them at cars going down the road.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Always a menace.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
I'm a going man like you probably should shouldn't be
doing that, but a heck, you know, I'm just sitting
back there just laughing at it the whole time while
people going by or just getting their cars dinged up
by this little brats color pencils he's throwing out the window.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
They were always in the back of the bus, all right.
It was always the back of the bus and people
causing trouble. Had a guy give me a wet willie
one time on the bus, Shannon, and I thought that
was foul. I mean, get your finger out of my ear.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Especially after you just lick your finger and then stick
it in somebody else's ear. Now you got their ear
wax on your finger. Like the joke's on you, dude,
Like what are you doing? That's disgusting.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
It's so funny looking back, like the school lunches and
the lunch table, the cool table, or the dork table,
or even the bus man. It was just so like,
I don't know what the right word is. It's not rigid.
But at the same time, there was like a class
system to when you would go to school, but wishing
everybody the best as they go back today. The first
day was always the best. But after that, Shannon, it's

(02:53):
just you know, now you're back in school.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
You say the first day is back. I always had
that sense of like impending dread just thinking about that
first day of school. I hated it.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Well, the sleeping end days are over, too, right, I
mean in high school, I mean I'd get to noon
maybe one pm, trying to sleep and not going to work.
So now they're back up at the crack of dawn
and we're hoping everybody has a good first day back.
We got some news this morning, actually, some news that
broke at nine am, and something that we're excited to
take part in is that Rascal Flats is coming to Rupperena.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
We're so excited. I think Ryan Lemon's excited about it. Yeah,
Rascal Flats will be coming in to rupp Aena and
we'll have your shot to win free tickets all this week.
That's right. Maybe today what we says, what we did
here on the pre show, we try to entertain and
give you Rascal Flats tickets because that's what the people demand.
By the way, that's going to be going on at

(03:48):
Rep Aerena February twenty sixth win free tickets today, tomorrow
and Friday right here on the KSR pre show.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
So very publicly I have said that I am not
going to do games to give away tickets anymore after
the disaster that was Ai and Adam Sandler. But Shannon,
you had a great idea right before we went on
the air that we play a little name that tune.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Well, I think that would maybe be a good way
that we could do this. I'm in studio, I've got
control of things. I could play some music from Rascal
Flats and see how well or the listeners know their
Rascal Flats. And if you are a Rascal Flat super fan,
which I don't know if I would be proud to
admit that or not, but if you are, you could
possibly win some tickets here today on the show.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Now I know one Rascal Flat song. You can guess
what that song is. But Shannon, that was a very
formative song to me. I think you know I heard.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Is it the song when you light them candles up
on that mantle?

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Is that one? No, it is not lighting candles on
the mantle. Come on, baby, Life is a Highway? I mean,
how many times did you hear that song?

Speaker 2 (04:48):
That's the song? Is it?

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Is that a remake?

Speaker 2 (04:51):
I think that's Life is a Highway. I believe is
an old song.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Oh, come on, that is not that is That's got
to be Rascal's number one song, even if it is
a cover.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
No, it was Tom Cochran.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
So that's not even their song. No, that's unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
No, that's not even their song.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Then I don't know a single Rascal Flat song. I
would not be able to play. Name that tune, you're
I mean, I could have swore. Rascal Flats was best
known for Life as a Highway.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
They released that in two thousand and six, but that
existed in nineteen ninety one. According to Wikipedia, it.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Sounds like a little stolen valor from Rascal fla.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
It's a cover, you know, Like you know, Alice Blue
Gown does a lot of covers, So it's just them
recording a cover.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Okay, Yeah, well they fooled me.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, I'm gonna prove it to you if I could
find the original version. Yeah, here we go, let's see
if I can play this right here.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
This is the original Life as a highway. Yeah, oh,
come on, this is Rascal.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
No, it's not, it's Tom Cochran.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Tom didn't do it the way Rascal did.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Well, maybe not. Maybe Rascal Flats did it better, you know,
that's all a matter of opinion. But this is the
original version of the song right here before Rascal Flats
did it. Here we go.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
See that's a lot different. You're right about you.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Also, notice how I hit the post right there.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
What do you know?

Speaker 2 (06:09):
What do you know what hitting the post means?

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Knowing when the lyrics are coming.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, like when you're a DJ, like, hey, everybody, it's
the Kay's ourpre show and here's Tom Cockran live. Is
a highway. You got to stop talking right at the
moment that they start singing so you don't steal step
on them.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, well you're savvy veteran. I would have expected nothing least.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Well. The thing is, I've never actually played that song
like talking it up, like talking up, because I don't
play that on QMTH or Double Q. But somehow I
just knew to stop talking right there.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
It's okay.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
And what was his name? Killer instinct does be in
our radio DJ for twenty years? Uh, Tom Cochran is
his name?

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Okay, Well, playing a little Tom Cochran here on the
pre show to get you ready for Rascal Flats in Upperena,
February twenty sixth Uh, it's ridiculous. Here on the pre show,
we'll have a fun time today. We'll talk a little
bit about Kentucky basketball even though football is only what's
seventeen days away. I've got some notes about the basketball team.
Also some news from w e RB about driver's license

(07:02):
and a like a scam that has been going on
over the last couple of years. Or show Shannon, if
you haven't seen that yet. Uh, but listen to the
Alan Cutler show yesterday, and boy did he have some
comments for you, Shannon. Did you end up hearing him yesterday?

Speaker 2 (07:15):
No, No, he had some comments for me.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
You didn't tune in.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
I don't even know where you would even find his show,
Like is he like in somebody's backyard screaming into a megaphone,
or just is he actually on the I don't know.
I don't know where I would even find.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
I just figured you might be, you know, locked in
after the discussion that was going on yesterday, and Alan
had his most listened to opening segment as Matt maybe
took a couple of one shot or two.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
What did he say about me, std, you can kiss
my You know what was that quote? Directly?

Speaker 1 (07:47):
That was that was a direct quote. And he also
said you don't do your homework. That is is we
don't want to say about any rebuttal.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, I'm currently suffering from a failure to give a
damn about anything that on Cutler says, uh or in
the future. I mean, of all the people who could
tell me to kiss their butt, I can't think of
anyone who could say that, and it hurt me less
than that guy. So I don't care.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
You know, it seems faced like it's this is not
going to keep you up. You're not going to think
about the guy who chased down Billy G in the
hallway tells you to kiss his butt.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
No, I really don't care. I mean, from what I
could tell about him, he's one of these guys that
thinks he knows everything, but at the end of the day,
he doesn't know a damn thing. That pretty much sums
him up from my experience with him, and I just.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
I just love how you start cutting promos on people.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
No, no, no, I just remember, like you know him.
I've had a limited interactions with him, but I know
at one point he was like a special guest host
on a summer show for KSR in my early years
of KSR, and I vividly remember him not taking one
caller and purposely leaving John Short on hold for two
straight hours from the show all the way till the end.

(08:59):
I was like, this guy, really, like, you're just doing
this to try to impress people that you can talk
for two hours without talk without stopping. Yeah, that's really it. Huh.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
I don't think he gets the spirit of the show.
If you're leaving John Short on hold.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Of I would say, like, you know, uh, I don't
need callers. You know what callers are. They're a crutch
and I'm going no, they're not. It's called interacting with
people who listen to your show, which may explain why
he doesn't take calls, just saying well.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
That is a very old sports takey radio take to
the callers. You know, I don't need callers. I'm more
entertaining than the callers. We have fostered a show that
welcomes all callers, and if you'd want to call in
today A five nine, two eighth two two eight seven.
I'm just glad I'm not the one beefing with Alan Cutler,
Shannon back and ding with anybody.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
I have no beef like. I didn't even bring the
I didn't even.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Enough to take it a beef like. No, we get
we get it.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Until I was talked about first. I'm just this is
just me talking in response to somebody who brought my name.
I didn't bring his name up. I don't care.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
No, I get it. I understand where you're coming from.
You're just responding to that. You can kiss my you
know what. I'm just saying. I'm glad I'm not in
your position, Shannon, because Alan Cutler was the reason I
wanted to get into radio. Like the guy was one
of the key moments into why I wanted to do
what I do. I was coming back from a Cincinnati
Bengals football game that my Tampa Bay Bucks had just

(10:20):
beaten them in dramatic fashion, and me and my dad, who,
by the way, it's my dad's birthday today.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Have a birthday. Birthday.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
This Toopa Rutledge, fifty five years old.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, happy birthday, Happy.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Birthday to my dad. So we're heading back from a
Cincinnati game and we're listening to the postgame radio guy
lose his mind. You know, the Bengals should not have
lost to the Tampa Bay Bucks. This is an outrage.
It's unbelievable. And I knew at that moment, Shannon, if
I could talk about sports like that for a living,
I would never work a day in my life. A

(10:51):
decade or so later, maybe fifteen years later, I learned
that was Alan Cutler doing the postgame radio shows on
the Cincinnati Bengals game, and he was one of the
reasons why I wanted to get in to the business.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Wow. Wow, I'm happy for you. I'm glad that he
had some I guess influence on your career.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
So much influence it brought Billy Rutlie eventually here to
the Ks appreciation. So I'm not beefing with you, Allen.
That's not me. But I'm not either.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
I don't care.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah, well, I've I've enjoyed from AFAR, the interaction.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Now.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
One thing that we can't enjoy from AFAR, because we'll
be right in the in the middle of it, is
this new partnership between Kentucky and JMI. They are extending
their multimedia marketing rights deal through twenty forty as JMI
takes on new responsibilities with Athlete nil deals. It's a
fifteen year, four hundred and sixty five million dollar deal
and the bb NIL suites will be new the UK's

(11:46):
new in house collective taking over for Club Blue. This
was a bomb that was dropped on us yesterday at
about eleven am.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Dude, Yeah, the BBN United Classic. You know, that was
the three game I guess round robin tournament, not a tournament,
but the three games that were added to the schedule.
If you notice there were bb in United, and then
we got that announcement that it's all tied in. That
name is tied in with the announcement yesterday that JMI
is basically taken over for the next Tilly twenty forty.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
That's right, twenty forty, four hundred and sixty five million
dollars that Kentucky will be getting from JMI for.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
I mean, it's hard to turn down money right now.
There's a lot of uncertainty in college sports, and when
you have somebody flaunting that money in front of you,
it's it's a difficult decision to say, nah, you know what,
we're good here, but they took the money, and I
don't really blame I don't know that can blame Kentucky
for doing that.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah, Mitch Barnhardt made some comments about, you know how
this will welcome stability to a very unstable time in
college athletics. JMI has had the media rights to Kentucky
for a while, but now, you know, when the announcement
says to take on new responsibilities, that kind of makes me,
you know, freeze up a little new responsibility.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Shannon, you know you've got new responsibilities.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
I don't think I do, but you know, everybody over
at JMI certainly will.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
I mean, they're so you are in a unique situation here, right,
because you kind of work for JMI. Am I right
about that?

Speaker 1 (13:15):
I would say that I work with JMI. I don't
work for JMI, but you know, JMI, in their relationship
with iHeartRadio, creates my position. So I mean, I do
not exist without JMI here at iHeartRadio. So I know
everybody over there at JMI for the most part, and
I have a great relationship with them. And now I
got to think they're going to be ten times busier

(13:35):
over there, right, I mean, if they are responsible for
working out the nil deals with potential Kentucky football and
basketball players. I think, you know, for better or for worse,
a lot of the responsibility falls on them, even the
blame if Kentucky were to have a bad season or
not get some of the recruits that maybe fans think
they should. Would you agree with that all.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Of a sudden, they are a key component then trying
to get players here because they were deciding what money
goes to what player and how much money and the
whole thing, like the whole thing really comes down to them.
The collectives no longer exist. It's all about JMI, and
you're putting a lot of responsibility into their hands, and
you better hope it works out because of not you

(14:16):
know we talked about yesterday. What about the situation where
let's say JMI owns the rights to two different teams
and a player is trying to decide between these two teams.
They may throw, you know, another school a bone and
give them a better deal over at School A versus
School B being Kentucky and the situation.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
That was my main question, is that not a conflict
of interest if you're going to own or be the
multimedia rights partner for several different schools and then also
engage in negotiation to get.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
These turns into a monopoly at some point, right.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Or in case, well, what Kentucky's doing, well, it would
be better suited for us as a company to have
this player sign with this school, right. So, I mean
that just opens up a can of worms. I like
to think that you know, there's you know, professionals out
there that would not let that happen. But in the
world of college athleticshin and anything could happen. We've seen
that over the last two hundred years.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
So many things have changed just over the last few years,
and I think we're just scratching the surface with some
of these deals and partnerships that are happening, and how things,
like I said, the uncertainty right now that we're living
in we don't really know what the future is going
to look like. We've already been through a lot of
changes from just a few If you'd gone back a
few years ago and said that we are now paying players,
somebody were like, you're crazy, that's never going to happen.

(15:33):
And then just like that, you know, it started out
in California. Now we got nil all across the board.
What's it going to look like in another five to
ten years.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
I'll tell you what it looked like in twenty years.
There'll be unions, there'll be collective bargaining agreements, athletes will
be employees of universities. I mean, that's I think the
natural way that this is progressing. But not everybody has
the same approach of you know, the multimedia rights marketing
partner also taking on responsibilities with athletes and il deals.

(16:04):
I'm sure we'll get much more information and continue to
break this story down over the next week or so,
but that coming yesterday, some big news regarding Kentucky Athletics.
We'd love to hear from you. Eight five nine two
eight oh two two eight seven five oh two two
six five six six five six is the text line.
We've got some fun stuff to get to today and
then a little later are name that tune Rascal Flats game. Remember, uh,

(16:25):
you know life is a highway as a cover, So
I guess that won't be a part of the.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
No, we've already played that one.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, yeah, that one will be excluded. So hopefully you
know more than I do if you'd like to win
the tickets, But we'll do that later. It is the
show before the show, the ksr apprecial. We will be
right back.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
All right now. This is Rascal Flats version of.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
It, just a classic the way the song was meant
to be sent. Sang which version do you like better,
Rascal Flats or Tom Cochran Rascal Flatska And people are
saying on the text line they remade that for the
movie Cars, and I think they must an eleven year
old Billy Rutledge at the time. I think watched Cars

(17:03):
and thought, man, Rascal Flats has a hit with this one.
You're a Rascal Flats fan, huh. I was a fan
of their one song, Flat of the Highway. They call
them flatheads, so uh excited to give away some tickets
there later today. If you were staying at Shannon the
Dude's condo in Panama City Beach, you'd have about thirty
more minutes before you have to check out ten am

(17:24):
checkout time for the std vacage.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
They are on Central Time, so you'd actually have another
hour and a half.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
They're on Central even better, so it's like eleven yeah, exactly, exactly.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
No, I mean I think that standard checkout time for airbnbs.
And the reason is, as I explained to Matt, when
you run an Airbnb, a lot of times the people
who you have to clean your airbnb aren't just cleaning yours.
They're cleaning multiple ones, so sometimes they may have three
or four to get to. That's why you got to
have a five hour window from ten am to three

(17:55):
pm for check in for the next you know, group
that's coming in. That's why you gotta early checkout. It's
not like it's a hotel service.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
We're running. What if your cleaning lady is like sleeping
in your condo, I mean, because.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Well then you fire her like I did. Yeah, you're fired.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
That ring camera should have caught that. And now we
have the ring camera, right you installed the ring camera.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Ass well, the ring camera should have called the porch pirate,
which it did not catch. I feel like I could
catch somebody staying in the condo. Now that's that's the
reason I got the ring to begin with.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
That's right, Well, you just can't let that happen. I mean,
you can't just have no cleaning ladies staying in the
condo when nobody's staying.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
There running it out even worse, like that's the thing
you gotta I'm telling you, man, when you own something
like a business or even an airbnb, you got to
be like a private investigator because people can do you wrong.
I have found out they will, and they try to
be sneaky about it. But that's that's how I found out.

(18:52):
Like you know, she was basically she wasn't staying in it.
She was letting somebody else stay in my condo. So
she could have like known my schedule because she knows
when she has to clean it right, so she knows
when she needs to clean, but she also knows when
nobody's supposed to be in there. So when nobod's supposed
to be in there, she's just letting other people go
in there. She could have been running out my condo

(19:12):
and doing a side business. She knows my schedule, she knows,
she knows how to get into the condo, she knows
the schedule. So I'm just saying for those of you
who own an airbnb, be careful. What happened to me,
it could happen to you.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Oh, it doesn't sound like you have a lot of
faith in humanity. When you say don't, people will try
to wrong you if they can. Man, like, yeah, it's crazy, crazy, Well,
you just wait until you get two people to book
the place and then they invite twelve to fifteen and
have a party over, and then Shannon's going to be
like the mom breaking up a party, coming in.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Hey, parties over, it's right, get out. Yeah, no partying.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
You didn't rent the place, right, Go party on the beach,
don't party at my place. One party I'm excited for

for the longest continuous wetsuit swim this week. He is
twenty years old. He'll be swimming one hundred and twelve
miles from France to Monaco over five straight days, swimming
NonStop day and night. But he says he uses hypnosis
to put himself to sleep mid swim.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
No worry.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Do have you ever been hypnotized? You believe in hypnotism?

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Nope? I don't. First of all. Secondly, I don't think
you could fall asleep while you're swimming. He can.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
He can put half of his brain to sleep while
he's swimming, and he can guide himself just enough to
get rest while he's swimming.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
So this guy has to have some sort of like
lifeboat or somebody following him.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Right, There's a line that goes from France to Monaco.
It's lighted at night. It's like a guide for him.
He's not allowed to like grab it. But yeah, there
is there's people around.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
For the most part, I don't believe anybody could go
that far without a break. He doesn't get to take
any breaks.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
No breaks. Five straight days of swimming, and that's why
he says he has to hypnotize himself to be able
to get that rest, to be able to do it.
Now for strange things with hypnotism. I've seen some friends
go up on stage and act like a fool after
somebody allegedly hypnotize themself. There are people that swear that
you can get hypnotize to get rid of the yips,

(22:01):
you know, to forget things. I mean, there is a
whole world of it that we have not explored here
on the pre show.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
I'll tell you what, if you can bring in somebody
to hypnotize you or me, we should do it.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
You think, so, oh yeah, we here's a guy out there.
Oh well, of course there's that does it by the hour.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Maybe yeah, I mean, maybe it would want to come
on the pre show, you know, I mean, I'm down
for it. If you are might get more business. If
he comes on the pre show and talks about how
great of a job will you do it? Will you
get hypnotized?

Speaker 1 (22:27):
I would get hypnotized.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Right, we're doing it, then let's make it happen, all right,
put the call in.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
You can't stop smoking hypnosis, Maybe you bite your nails.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
I've seen people hypnosis say that hypnosis helps people stop smoking.
I don't know that I believe that either. I see
it in Vegas all the time. I know what you're
going to say. What about the people in vague? I
think that those are paid actors. I think that they
that they are plants, right, somebody that's out in the crowd,
they know, they know before the show who they're going
to get. They've already paid them off to come up there.

(22:59):
And I like, they're hypnotized. And if somebody paid you
a couple of thousand dollars to go up there and
do that, you would too.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
I know what you're talking about. But I've also never
seen somebody say, oh, I went along with a hypnosis
person and I fooled this auditorium of people like because
this on the NDA after that postgame interview, ever becal agreement.
I feel like, yeah, I don't know if they do
have them signing paperwork back there. Maybe that's why we
haven't heard of it, But I don't know. I just
feel like.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
It feels like if it were real, it would be
dangerous because if you got somebody hypnotized, what if you
couldn't get them out of that state?

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Oh, I think that's a thing too, Like you got
to be careful. So like when you say, we sayzed,
I just don't want to be hypnotized permanently.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
That's what I'm saying. Like, have you ever seen anybody
got hypnotized and they couldn't snap them out of it?

Speaker 1 (23:47):
No, it's usually like when I clap, you know, you're
going to act like you're a chicken. Yes, when I'm
telling you, when I clap is acting like a chicken.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
When I clap, you're going to act like a chicken.
Don't forget about that two thousand dollars or just paid it?
Oh yeah, you want that money, You're gonna act like
a chicken.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Okay, but two thousand is that's it? Because I mean,
you could expose I don't know, I don't know expose just.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Make it up numbers. I'm not I don't know, what
the payoff is for a hypnosis. I don't know. I'm
just making things up with the number. I mean, it
could be five thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Yeah, well look into this, you know thing that rocks
back and forth, You're going to be hypnotized here in
a second. Just seems bizarre, But you know what, there
are more and more stories that are saying that it's true,
including this guy that puts himself to sleep mid swim,
which I'm gonna have to see to believe.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Is there gonna be like a live stream of this
guy because I want to see. I don't have this
guy do it. I mean, I feel like if it's
going to be this big of a deal, he should
have it streamed where people can watch it.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yeah, I mean that would be that would be quite
the the feat. Noam yarn is his name and should
be doing it right now actually, so we'll see if
he can make it. Shannon, did you see the drama
about Venmo in college football over the last couple of day.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Yeah, I think there were some bets being made by
was it Oklahoma Oklahoma.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Player Oklahoma quarterback John Mattiir had some interesting Venmo descriptions.
If you don't know what venmo is. I mean, you've
been living under a rock in twenty twenty five. But
also it's it's a way of banking. It's a way
of exchanging money. You can send money just like in
a like a social media app. But when you send
the money, if you leave the post public, people can

(25:27):
see what who you're sending money to and what for.
There's like a little small description for it. You don't
see what the amount of money that you're sending, but
the description of it. And Oklahoma quarterback John Mattier in
November of twenty twenty two, was sending venmo's to his
former teammates, saying sports gambling UCLA versus USC sports gambling

(25:49):
in itself in a different Venmo transaction. So people seem
to think the former Oklahoma quarterback is doing something that
he's not supposed to be doing as a college athlete.
He has said denied this and said that those descriptions
were inside jokes and jest. They did not accurately descript
what he was doing with the money. Do you believe him, Shan.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
No, I think the jokes on him. If there were
an inside joke, why would you joke about that? You know,
you can't do that as a college football player. Why
would you even joke about that? Why would you even
leave there to be any question if it were an
inside joke, I think I would come up with a
better inside joke that didn't involve me as a player gambling,
because that's a good way for you to get into

(26:32):
a lot of trouble as a college athlete.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
That makes me think there is some truth to this
story because on the day that he sent the Venmo
that on November of twenty twenty two, was there as
gambling UCLA versus USC. There was a UCLA versus USC game.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
I mean, maybe my gud just can't find the settings
buttoned to change it to private.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
That's all you have to do. You just have to
make it private. But on default Venmo keeps it as public.
So he was not the only quarterback with a little
bit of a questionable past. Did you see arch Manning's
post Venmo description?

Speaker 2 (27:03):
No? What I did not see his what are his Well?

Speaker 1 (27:05):
It was nothing like sports gambling UCLA versus USC. It
was just saying stuff like but stuff or.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
No, I do think that's I do see. I'll put
Joe who sisty she did no, no, no, see, I
think that's just having fun. I'll do stuff like that occasionally,
you know, put something like that, could you get Venmo
will not allow you to send any kind of money
without some sort of description. You have to put something, yeah, right,
So I might send you, Billy, you know, ten bucks

(27:34):
on Venmo and put something goofy in the description, just
because really it's nobody's business why I'm giving you ten dollars.
So if I put something like that would be a joke.
So I have no problem with the archspan anything. Now.
The Oklahoma quarterback, on the other hand, I think that
is a more serious situation than what arch Manning was doing.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
A little too close to home, I mean, and if
you even think for a second that you're going to
have a career in college athletics, why may that joke?
It was just poor form on his part. But it'll
be interesting to see if there's any more investigation into that.
But Oklahoma has commented on the matter and said that,
you know, they'll handle things internally. Uh, Shannon, let's take
a call before we do a fair or foul here

(28:13):
on the pre show.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
All right, Oh, Mike, Mike, good morning, guys. How you
doing they're doing good good.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Uh my sister got hypnotized thirty years ago for smoking.
She comes out she have never smoked cigarette.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Since I'm telling her something to it and there's something there.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
You believe it?

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Then will she come outside where everybody was smoking? You
got sick because it smell. We had to clean her car,
detail her car to get smoke out of it because
she was actually getting sick.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
So was it one session years ago? So, Mike? Was
it one session where she went in for I don't know,
that's what thirty minutes an how it.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Was like sivty nine dollars? Yeah, group people went in
and she hasn't smoked.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Sinse Wow, Okay, well you know what, Billy, maybe maybe
maybe maybe I'm being convinced here. That's that's kind of strange.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
So much so that you can't stand the cigarette smoke though,
Like that's the complete ops.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Are you sure they didn't just yeah, make that that
was yeah? Are you sure they didn't make her just
smoke a carton of cigarettes and that's why she got sick?
You know? Like that that happens with kid when you're
a teenager, you get caught smoking, you know, Dad takes
you behind the barning and gives you a carton of
cigarettes and makes you smoke all of it.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
All right, you want to smoke?

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Yeah, and then you're like, okay, no, maybe maybe that's
what the noses really is. I don't know, Mike, and.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
She smoked two packs a day at least.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Wow, right to like to change like by a snap
of the fingers, though, that's that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
I don't believe you can just snap your fingers and
somebody can have control over you and all of a sudden,
now you just want to in your addictions, going sick
over smoke smoking a cigarette. Yeah, it's hard to believe,
but I don't know. Yeah, okay, all right, well maybe
convince me a little bit at least I'll give you that.
You convinced me.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
You know, I'm really not convinced. But I saw her
and she never smoked since.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Well, all right, seeing is believing, I guess. Okay. Good
to hear from you, Mike. Thank you, Mike, Thanks for listening.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
One person on the text line says, if hypnosis was real,
wouldn't we hear of criminals trying to use that as
an alibi more often? I just got hypnotized by somebody
you know what I'm doing?

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah, yeah, I think so. And the great scam And
why wouldn't you, Why wouldn't you you're hypnotist. Why couldn't
you use that to hypnotize somebody and then take all
their stuff.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
It's like you know when you get crows on your
side and they can still change in people's keys. Right,
I'm just going to hypnotize people to do whatever I want. Yeah,
I don't know what the laws of hypnosis are, Shannon.
Maybe you can't use hypnosis for evil.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
I mean, like, who's going to stop you if you
do it without somebody knowing?

Speaker 1 (31:04):
I don't know. It's just the laws of hypnosis.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Just me and you, billy, and you're a hypnotist, and
you hypnotize me and you steal my wallet, Like what,
who's going to stop you?

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Well, it'd be more like give me the money out
of your wallet and then like like you're in area,
you would just give me all your money.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
I'm going to hypnotize you to venmo me everything in
your bank account and you could put the the arch
Manning description on there for for why you sent it.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah, but you can't use hypnosis for evil, like like
We've laid down the ground rules here, Shan, so that
would not be.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
See I don't really believe it. Then I hear stories
like Mike's, and then it's like, well, if that's true,
then it's it's hard to believe. And I trust Mike.
I've known Mike for my entire life, so I don't know.
I'd have to see it, I think in person to
truly believe it.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Well, if you have a hypnosis story, the jury is
still out here on the case I appre show, I'm
going to be reaching out to somebody.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
To hypnotize you. He's got her on the show. I
get both of as are hypnotized, then we can't do
the show.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Well, make sure the dump button's ready, because who knows
what that guy is going to make me do, fair
or foul for you, Shannon. The Cincinnati Open is taking
place in the great state of Ohio right now, the
tennis tournament, and on Monday, a British tennis star paused
her match because there was a crying baby. Emma rad
A Canoe complained because a baby had been crying for

(32:27):
the past ten minutes and I have about like five
seconds of audio here stopping the match. It's a child.
Do you want me to send the child out of
the stadium? So that's the judge responding, there, what do
you want me to do? It's a baby crying in
the stadium. She says, what do you want me to do?

(32:49):
Send it out of the stadium. And it sounds like
most people around her said yes, this, and there's a
baby crying for ten minutes, fair or foul to ask
if the baby should be ejected it won't stop there.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
First of all, this is the Matt Jones of female
tennis players wanting the baby out, get it out of here,
crying baby. But I do agree that in this situation
it wouldn't bother me. And I don't know what it
is about golf and tennis where you have to have
complete silence while there's play going on. You know, other
sports they encourage you to be as loud as you can,
but in tennis and golf you gotta be silent. But
I don't this is a bigger I guess topic. I

(33:21):
don't understand people who have a crying baby and refuse
to take the baby like outside or remove it from
the current situation that it's in. Obviously, the baby's not happy,
So why don't we take the baby outside? You know,
do whatever you gotta do to make the baby happy,
and then come back with a baby. I don't understand
people like get a restaurant or whatever. It may be

(33:43):
a kid just squawlling for ten minutes, and like, take
the baby outside. We're trying to enjoy a nice meal here.
You know. I don't understand parents who won't do that.
It's bad parenting in a tennis match. I don't know.
It's a sporting event. I guess. I guess you gotta
be quiet. I guess take the baby out.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
But it's there's a lot of ooze and oh's in
a tennis match, so there are people making audible noise.
But it is for it is what it is. When
it comes to golf and tennis, it is a sport
where you are not supposed to speak. And if that
is I guess the decorum and the rules for the game.
Then I have no problem with her asking to get
a baby out of the arena. My issue is with

(34:23):
the parents. Why are you bringing a baby to a
tennis match. I get this is how you are able
to go to things, but you're the one that had
the baby. You've made this commitment.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Shannon.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
It's ninety five degree heat outside in Cincinnati on a
summer day, and you've got a baby. You're ruining the
time of everybody around you and the athletes of the
sport you're going to watch. It is completely fair to tell,
like any drunk fan that can't contain himself, get that
baby out of here. But Shannon, you know me, I'm
a little bia.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Well, I'm glad you brought this up, Billy, because I've
got a really important pickleball match with Drew Franklin coming
up at Country Boy Brewing at PKL and Lexton, and
if there's any crime babies there, I'm gonna have them removed.
I'm gonna ask the judge, can you remove I'm trying
to have this important pickleball matchup with Drew Franklin at
Country Boy Brewing at PKL. I don't need crime babies

(35:15):
to ruin it for me. Okay, So you're telling me
that's fair that when I kicked the baby out.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Completely fair?

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (35:21):
All right, Well you need your concentration in your big
pickleball man.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
All right, Well, this is coming up on Wednesday, August
twenty seventh from five till seven, country Boy Brewing, they're
gonna be hosting a happy hour out there. If you've
never been to it. It just opened his PKL lex
and it features nine indoor cushion master courts. It has
six regulation size courts and three large championship courts for
premier play. I think that's what we're gonna be on
because we're champion pickleballers and if you're a golfer, ability

(35:46):
you can speak to this. They've got three state of
the art custom TrackMan suites to play on any championship
course of your dreams, or you can hone your swing
on the driving range out there. Country Boy Brewing at
PKL has twenty four rotating country boys and a full
menu including the house smoke, barbecue plates, sandwiches and salads,
over twenty TVs in the tap room, and they also

(36:08):
are the perfect spot to watch the Cats or your
favorite NFL team this season. And again that's on Wednesday,
August twenty seventh, from five till seven. Country Boy's gonna
be hosting the happy hour. I'll be taking on Drew
in a pickleball match. We're gonna be taking on some
listeners as well, and we'll have some sort of contest
that we'll figure out who's going to play us. But
it's Country Boy Brewing with the dollar off during this
happy hour dollar off all of their core beer pints

(36:31):
for the event. So that includes the Cougar Bait, Shotgun, Wedding,
Clip Jumper, Halfway Home, Country Light, and of course Shannon
the Dude's brew and it's all going on August twenty
seventh at PKLX.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Can speak to those golf simulator rooms. They have one specifically,
it's called the Tiger Room with nothing but Tiger Woods photos.
I mean, it makes you feel like you're right there competing,
right next to the guy. So check that out and
watch Shannon and Drew embarrass themselves a little bit. No
crying babies, Get your babies out of here. That's right.
We need to take a break. If you'd like rass

Speaker 2 (40:03):
He did get the first one, which was easy, which I.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Just slayed the chorus of the song.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
I did, but I mean, that's what you want, right,
so we can name the two. But on that one
he he got it without having the very beginning of
the chorus. So I'll tell you what. Hold on, hang on,
our producer will get your information here.

Taylor Swift on the New Heights Podcast. Are you excited?

Speaker 2 (40:40):
Oh so excited? Let me tell you, I'm gonna know.
Are you gonna listen to it or no?

Speaker 1 (40:46):
No, But people are saying that it could be one
of the most listened to podcasts of all time.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
It probably will. I mean, I guess there's enough Swifties
out there there are, Like I said yesterday, that's one
fan base you do not want want to mess with this.
This is the Swifties out flatheads or the well, the
flatheads I don't think would win versus the Swifties. There's
a lot more Swifties than flatheads.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Swifties would overwhelm you. But flatheads that they're country strong,
you know what I mean, Shannon Like, they're not gonna
They're not gonna go down without a fight, and you
won't go down without a fight. If you bet on DraftKings,
