Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR Pre Show.
Today is Thursday, August twenty first. I am Billy Rutlide
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 zho two two eight seven. Text
us at five oh two two sixty five sixty six
five six be a part of the show. As always,
the KSR Pre Show is brought to you by Italics
(00:22):
Fine Italian dining right here in Lexington, Kentucky, open in
the City Center on Main Street. Not for dinner, but
for lunch. If you haven't checked it out, please do so.
August twenty first a pretty insignificant date. I mean, happy
birthday to Usain Bolt. Happy birthday at Casey Musgraves, the
country music singer. Back in nineteen fifty nine, Dwight D.
(00:45):
Eisenhoward signed a proclamation officially declaring Hawaii the fiftieth state.
And that's about it for historical events. August twenty first,
what's up, Shannon? How are you man?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
You know, I thought I had a little bit of
faith in you. I thought that you would start the
show by wishing me a happy Shannon the Dude day.
But yet you've mentioned all these other insignificant things that happened,
and you didn't even mention my big day. Today is
the day we're celebrating it. We're having Shannon the Dude's bruise,
we're walking at least fifty feet.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I know you're not gonna walk fifty miles, but we're
all celebrating today. And uh, I'm a little disappointed in
you this morning, Billy, that you didn't you didn't wish
me a happy shand of the Dude Dude.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I just I don't recognize this holiday, I guess. I mean,
can I get a copy if you want to make
it a holiday.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I don't recognize your a little plastic trophy that you
have for the Haybell toss either. We don't recognize that either.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Here.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I surely recognize that Heybill throwing contest, which we're going
to be competing for again pretty soon when we go
back to Lebanon for country Ham Days. Speaking of country
Ham today as the country Ham Breakfast at the Kentucky
State Fair, Shannon. So, a day that we celebrate for
Shannon walking fifty miles is all day where rich billionaires
will spend millions of dollars on some country ham.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, so it's like the most expensive country ham in
the world. Right, you got these rich people that go
up and they I guess what auction off a ham
and these go for? Is it like a million dollars
or hundreds of thousands of dollars? What was the price
on the country ham last year?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
The record from the crafts last year was ten point
five million. Oh my gosh, what the country ham at
the State Fair? Now we've got boots on the ground, Shannon.
I don't know if you remember this, but every year
we have a KSR pre show listener that gets us
the winning price of the ham before it's report, like
before the news reporters can get it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
How we can have breaking news here on the pre show.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
That's right. So if you're listening, if you're a lucky
listener today, you will be one of the first to
know what the official price is for the country ham
at the State Fair later today.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Can I tell you that yesterday I had no idea.
By the way, it was three day at the State Fair,
But yesterday I felt like I was kind of ahead
of this because I went over to have lunch with
my mom and she cooked up some country ham and
it was awesome, and I too huge pieces of country ham.
The only problem about eating country ham is you feel
like you're in the Sahara and don't have any water
(03:07):
because you are thirsty fust of the entire day. In
the rest of my day, because I was so thirsty,
I was just chugging bottles of water. It's salty, get
like dries out in your body when you eat country ham.
And I love country ham. It's my favorite breakfast food,
country ham. But you know you can't eat too much
of it, otherwise you're just chugging bottles of water all
day like I was yesterday.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
The dump truck of salt that's backed up and put
on that ham for some broad so good. It's an
acquired taste. I think acquired taste. Oh yeah, yeah. From
the South is the.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Guy who drinks unsweetened tea.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I'm not a fan of sweet tea. That's another thing
of the South. You would say you got to have
that sweet tea, right man.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I grew up on sweet tea and country ham and sargum.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Sweet tea, country ham and sorrow. I'm just a pumpkin farmer.
Trying to get through the day.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
This is a body built by Country Ham, sweet Tea
and Sorgum right here.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I'm a little sad we're not there for the Country
ham y. Remember was it last year? A couple years ago?
We were on We were there that day when they
were selling the Ham, and so Mark, Pope, Pat Kelsey,
a lot of the politicians and the movers and shakers
of the Commonwealth there at the Kentucky State Fair today. Shannon, So, well,
what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
What do you do when you spend ten and a
half million dollars on a ham? Do you put that
thing in like a glass box a display in your house?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I'm eating it?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
You eat it?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, I mean I've got to have a taste of
what ten and a half million dollars taste.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I mean, it tastes just like the same ham that
I ate yesterday. It tastes exactly the same.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
You're telling me, it's the exact same as the one I.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Could take, exactly exactly. I mean, it's all about the charity, right,
I mean, that's right, that's what it's all about. Is
less about the ham and more about the charity. And
what charity is that By the way do we know?
I feel like that should be. I feel like the
Country Ham gets all the spotlight, but really we should
be highlighting the charity that it goes to, and either
a the double check is it like the.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Farm Bureau or something like that that would make sense.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Country We'll figure it out. I don't know, but my
point it's all about the Country Ham. It gets all
the shine. Meanwhile the charity you and I don't even
know it.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, but just like the fact that it's ten and
a half million dollars the record big last year and
probably we'll be beaten again this year. Could that money
be used for like nil Shannon could like the crafts
give that as a as a gift that we can
give to the players or something. I feel like that
might be. I don't mara what I would want this money.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I would go play at Kentucky for a Country Ham.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
That's I like this.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Actually we heard Shepte why did he come to Kentucky?
They had great food? Said, that's true. One of the
deciding factors was the fact that Kentucky had great food
and that's why he wanted to stay here.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, that's true. So I mean that guy is just
a quote machine. How fun is he going to be
this year? Maybe after wins and losses, mating this team,
so that that's fun as you count down the days
until Kentucky Football next Saturday and they take on Toledo.
So that's been on today, A fair country hand breakfast
and Shannon the Dude day here in Lexington. Unbelievably here
a Hittington Opton. I don't know why we did that,
(06:09):
but you know, she's.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
My favorite mayor really of all the mayor, he's.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
My favorite handing out days like it's you know something
just that you get it anywhere.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Well, I mean we're all still waiting for you to
go out and walk fifty miles.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, that's because I don't need any fanfare for it.
I can also start in the rain or at night.
You know, I don't need the conditions perfect.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
You'd blow away in the rain.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Oh please please, It may take it may take me
a little bit longer than you did. Shannon. How long
did it take, by the way, because you did it
less than twenty four hours that it was impressive.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, well, I mean the challenge was to walk fifty
miles in twenty hours, and you see there on the
picture that I posted, it says fifteen hours and forty
three minutes. I think it was actually a little bit
less than that. I think it was like fifteen twenty ish,
if you want, like an official time, because I forgot
to hit stop on my watch, so I was, you know,
(06:59):
just sitting there backing in my glory for like twenty
twenty five minutes before I hit stop on the watch.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And what was the immediate aftermath? Was it a pass out,
go to bed for thirteen hours or where did you go?
Grub on something?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, so I got I remember getting to the CHS
bar and there was a bunch of people there waiting.
That was cool to see everybody, and really cool to
see everybody along the way, along the route at all
hours of the night we're out or just handing out,
you know, bottles of water, playing STP on their speakers,
trying to give me some motivation. But you know, after
the fact, I remember Drew had one of those little
(07:34):
massage guns, just like you know you can do. They're
very nice, and that felt amazing on my back right
after walking fifty miles. That was the hardest thing. My
back was killing me. But now it jumped in the
car I had a driver. It was our Boyle Bennett.
He was a niche driver. Yeah, he was a boor
(07:55):
Freudian slip. No, I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. He was
nice enough to drive me back from Lexington, and I
remember Terry Miners wanted to talk to me, so I
jumped on his show.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Which you say you don't remember the I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Really remember the interview. I mean, I'm being on the show,
but I don't remember what I said on the show.
Because you got to keep in mind also the night
before I didn't get hardly any sleep, and I tried
to go home after the show that day and sleep
for like an hour, but I was so pumped up
that I got no sleep at all. So I was
running off of about forty hours of no sleep and
then I just crashed when I got home, and then
(08:26):
immediately went out, got wings car, blowed it and you
sit us at my table. I had, you know, like
when you go to these sports bars, how they give
you like these giant cups, like when you order like
a soda or a water whatever it is. I don't
know what they are. Let's say twenty ounces, maybe bigger.
I had seven of those lined up at my dinner
(08:47):
and I I drank every bit of it. I was
so dehydrated after I drank seven large whatever those big
tall whatever the ounces is and those big tall cups
that you get like at a restaurant. I'm gonna say
twenty ounces, and I drink seven.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Of those of water. Yess what you're saying?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yes, in one setting?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Jeez, that is that is a ton of water. Probably
didn't go to the bathroom. Well you need it all, hey.
They told me to hydrate.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
They say, once you're finished, make sure you hydrate, like
the next twenty four hours. I didn't disappoint.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Well, we can celebrate that today on August twenty first.
If you want to give us call today eight five
nine two eight zero two two eight seven. Speaking of
the achievements of children, I looked at the sixties playgrounds yesterday, Shannon.
I had not seen a nineteen sixties playground, and so
I started talking about the new park that's going in
by his house near Rapparina. Uh, Gatton Park. And one, yeah,
(09:41):
Gatton Park looks a little dangerous, Shannon, but not after
you look at the ones from nineteen sixty. Man, like
those kids are it's like those pictures of construction workers
that are hanging off beams thousands of feet off off
the ground. Just take that a little miniature version of that,
and these kids were doing that on the monkey bars
back in the day.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah, I don't know how that was ever approved. I
don't think they had to go through regulations and approvals
back then. They just kind of built whatever they want
and kids got on it and that was the end
of it. But even for a modern day playground, I
see what he's talking about. Yeah, there's like a like
a wall climbing like a mountain like, how would you
describe it, rock climbing type of thing. Yeah, but it's
(10:20):
not straight up and down. It's kind of like on
a steep incline and then it kind of like waves
a little bit and it goes there's a little bit
of a dip and it goes back up again. But
ultimate that, if you've seen this picture, there are no guardrails,
there's no netting in case you were to slip and
fall off to if you fall off and roll to
the right, you're just going to hit the ground. I mean,
there's no two ways about it. And it doesn't look
(10:43):
safe at all.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah, but are playgrounds supposed to be a safe space? Shannon?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Well?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah, are they supposed to be wrapped in bubble wrap
and foam? I mean, should there be an inherent risk
if you're going to get on the rock climbing wall,
and I think that there is going to be one,
then yeah, So maybe theseus can go maybe a long
way to toughening up our children, Shannon. Maybe this is
the avenue. Oh, this is what designers are going for here.
(11:08):
It's not nineteen sixty. I mean it's it's not that bad.
But maybe this is how we toughen up the children
of America.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, drop them on their head, that'll make them tough.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Maybe you'll think twice before you just run around and
go willy nilly without a plan. Shannon. Uh, I remember
a slide that would throw you around back in the day,
that thing would read, you'd be near the sound barrier
that that slide back in the day that I used
to get on would go so fast, Shannon, So maybe
this is just part of that plan.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Trying to remember, Like the worst injury that I had
on a playground as a kid, and I think was
actually at my friend's backyard on a swing set and
they had one of.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Those whole other kids.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Well, yeah, yeah, no, this was you know, you had
like the regular swings, then you also had like this
thing where you could sit on both sides of it
and it would rock back and oh yeah yeah. Well
as a kid, I was I don't know why. I
guess I was climbing up on the side of the
structure because that's what kids do. And I somehow put
my finger like in like I guess an area to
(12:03):
where when this thing rocked up, all this metal crunched
down on my finger, on my finger nail and like
smashed it and cut it in half. And as a kid,
you can imagine I was screaming bloody murder, like you know, yeah,
like I've just gotten shot. But man, you want to
talk about you ever slam like your finger in a
door or something like that, getting pinched by something rocking
(12:27):
up and it's right in between two pieces of metal,
And that was that was I think that was the
worst playground injury I ever had.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, vivid childhood memory of doing that with my pinky
finger into a metal door at an afterschool camp that
I was at. So that was that was a rough erence.
That swing set was brutal, though.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Man, I kind of relived that at the KSR Golf
Scramble a couple of days ago because they had these
folding chairs and I did the same thing. I didn't
know if you unfold the chair that there's a piece
of metal that slams right up against your finger and
catches it.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
And it caught your finger.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, and I kind of had a flashback from that
moment in my childhood getting injured on the player. So yeah,
but be safe out there, kids.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
A little tough in these kids up one way or another.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Right, we'll smash her, smash your finger one at a
time till you're tough. Can't use dropad anymore.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Whether we don't let you on the postgame show or
you kind of go smash your finger in a playground,
these kids will. We will tough from them up one
way or another. Eight five nine two two eight seven.
It is the show before the show, the KSR pre show.
A little later today on ks R. Ryan Lemon will
return after moving his son into school yesterday at the
University of Kentucky and the fact it was he he
(13:32):
was already yelling at police officers that we got the
update yesterday. Knew that it was going to be an
emotional day for our guy Ryan, so looking forward to
hearing from him a little later today.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Hold on, now, okay, I kind of got sidetracked here.
You got something, Yeah, because somebody tweeted me. I didn't
realize this. We're talking about what what today? Is? The
significance of.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Today, significant day, biggest day of the year.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
The biggest day of the year. Everybody is celebrate I
don't know why people are working. I don't know why
I'm working right now. Everybody should be off work celebrating
my day.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Well.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah, if there's anything that can trump Shannon the due Day,
it's the fact that today we are celebrating the one
hundred and sixth birthday of sister Jean with Sister Jean,
Is that right? This is from Yeah, this is actually
NCAA March Madness with a gold check mark and one
(14:19):
point seven million followers, So I'm going to say that's correct.
One hundred and six years old. That is amazing. Happy birthday,
Sister Jean.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Happy birthday, Sister Jean. She's still alive, right, one hundred
and six.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Why would we be counting birthdays if she wasn't still alive.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I don't know. We still count birthdays. Sometimes the people
that die the speak.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Look, the significant is real, is what we're talking about.
Trying to kill off sister Jean. She's one of my
favorite people left on the planet.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Oh, what an insignificant day.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
With your mic, I'm turning your mic off. We're going
to break. We'll be all right back, welcome back.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
It is the case. Our pre show, Shannon's got me
going down memory lane here smashing my finger into the
door after school cares man, I thought we were gonna
have to amputate that thing, but you know what disaster averted.
Our friend Core Price chimed in with a bunch of information,
including the first Kentucky State Fair ham auction that took
(15:18):
place in nineteen sixty four, with the winning bid of
one hundred and forty dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
What a bunch of cheapskates.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Really, Well, well, let's think nineteen sixty four. That was
probably a lot of money, right, I mean people were
buying houses for probably that much money back then. Yeah,
my generation can't even afford a house because of the
boomers that bought houses at nineteen sixty four and now
sell them for millions. Of dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Well, yeah, don't don't blame the boomers, blame the market.
It is what it is.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
So what you hear the bitterness in my voice? Can
I say that?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah? I mean I don't know. I bought a house.
What's your problem? So I wonder what the conversion rated, like,
what the inflation rate? Take? What was it? You said,
one hundred and.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Sixty one hundred and forty dollars in teen sixty four
one hundred.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
And forty dollars is equivalent to what in today's world.
I wonder we could probably google that.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, maybe you can get on the inflation calculator and
dial that up. Also, uh, Corey shared with us that
the Crafts donated the money or the money went to
the Boys and Girls Club that helped build houses to
communities that had recently touched a flooding in Kentucky. So
that's a good cost. So if it's not going to
go to UK and IL, then you know, building houses
(16:26):
in Kentucky is also another good thing. Yeah A five
nine two eight zero two two eight seven. We'll get
to calls in just a second here, But Shannon College

on all of those games on Draftking.

For additional terms responsible gaming resources see DKNG, dot CO
slash audio. So according to forty dollars and nineteen sixty
(17:22):
four is equivalent to one four hundred and fifty eight
dollars and ninety three cents. Okay, so not ten million dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
No, No, we've jumped up quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
That's right. I would still say that one hundred and
forty dollars is too much to buy for a country ham.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
You think so?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
So, I mean we think the going right rate for
a country ham should be.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
In nineteen sixty four today, just today.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
If I were to go out to a store right now,
I want to buy a country Ham, how much do
you think it should.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Cost the full bone in ham? Are we talking about here?
Because yes, I mean yeah, okay, I mean probably, I
mean a little less than one hundred and forty honestly,
maybe eighty ninety dollars. Shan, you still think that's.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Too Yeah, I got one right here. Not only will
you get a country Ham, they'll bring it to your
front porch on door dash for forty five bucks.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Forty five dollars. Yeah, that seems incredibly reasonable for an
entire hand.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Well, yeah, when you just paid ten and a half
million for it, forty four dollars does sound pretty reasonable?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Can this really doesn't include tip?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Yeah? No, I see it there, you know, forty five
bucks on a door dash.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well, nowadays you can just a person to go to
any store that you want to and bring you something. Right,
you need a light bulb, you need a screwdriver, you
can just find somebody to go find it for you,
whether it be is it task wrap or something like that.
I'm not sure what this thing.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I haven't gotten to that point of laziness yet. I
usually just get up off.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
My mind there yet, get off off my button, go
get it myself. Well, if you go to Walmart, be careful.
They've been selling radioactive shrimp. Shannon, have you seen that story.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
I saw there was a shrimp recall. You're telling me
they're radioactive? But am I going to turn into like
if I eat this?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Or like?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
What what's the no?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah, so I have this on the list. The FDA
issued an urgent warning about Great Value raw frozen shrimp
at your local Walmart. It's been contaminated with Sessium one
thirty seven, a radioactive isotope linked to cancer. These sixteen
ounce bags were distributed to thirteen states, including Kentucky, So
be careful if you buy Great Value frozen shrimp at
(19:18):
your local Walmart.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Shan, I'm a little concerned because I did eat shrimp recently. Wait, wait,
hold on, hold on, hold, on, hold on, I don't
know it came from a Chinese buffet. Okay, so the
good chance that's.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Almost worse because you don't even know where it came from, right, But.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Yeah, why Chinese buffet has shrimp? I don't know. But
it was there and it looked good and I ate it,
and you're telling me, and I'm gonna guess it came
from Great Value.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Well, if you're buying the Great Value shrimp from Walmart,
I think you're already towing that line.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Well. I think I'm probably immune to everything, because I mean, look,
I was drinking water from my not guard host. I
did that as a kid, but just from the tap
after they said boil your water because we had a
water main break.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Oh you were still drinking boiling wail.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Any water drinking that hasn't killed me yet, Okay, So
I don't think that. You know, and I used to
work out Phoenix Hll tavern every Wednesday night, every kind
of thing you can imagine. There was floating around the air,
a lot of judging going on there. I'm just exactly,
not exactly. The cleanest place is what I'm driving towards.
(20:27):
So I think I'll be okay, if I ate one
or two great value shrimp that it's radioactive.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Okay, all right, just be careful. I mean they had
the high noon mix up where you're just trying to
get a little boost to energy with your Celsius and
you're drinking vodka Seltzer and now you've got radioactive shrimp. Shan.
We need to we need to fix this supply chain problem.

You can join the show by texting us at five
oh two two sixty five. Sixty six five six, where
one person says STD went right to his vibrator immediately
after the walk. That's right, the massage gun to feel
(22:27):
a little better on the back. Shannon, you were telling
me you got a scam call during the break.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, I get these all the time, but
this one's good. You know, I look on an Apple phone.
If they leave a voicemail, you get the transcription. So
I haven't listened to the voicemail, but the transcription says
this call is to authorize the payment of one four
and ninety nine dollars for a recent order of Apple
MacBook Pro on your Amazon account. If you do not
authorize this payment, please press one to speak to our
(22:54):
customer support representative.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Oh, well, you might want to call back and press one, Shannon.
You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sure I'll get right
charge on your card.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Right.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You probably have to give them that card information just
to make sure it's on file value.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Jokes on them. I don't have an Amazon account, so deleite.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Well I don't think you have a MacBook either, right, No, No,
not buying anything regarding that. Speaking of blaming others, Shannon,
what happened to the podcast audio yesterday. I was just
trying to listen to the second hour and a little
scratchy there. Did something happen?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yet?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
You moved to the new studio. Everything will work there,
they said, Do I need to say more? Oh, we
have computers in this studio that apparently get full of memory,
and when they get full of memory, they start glitching.
Little did anybody know that this computer was full on
(23:45):
its memory and started glitching. And that's what the issue
was with the podcast, which made it completely unlistenable. So
on behalf of our terrible equipment, I apologize on its behalf.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
There it is listen to this. Thank you, Shan. Now
I understand. I understand your predicament. We all run out
of hard drive eventually.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Right, Well, when you get around forty five or so,
I hear hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
My bells in the other studio shada, damn it. But yeah,
thank you for everybody being a little patient with us yesterday.
The audio should be back to normal today, Shane. Let's
go back to the phones though today. Who got up next?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Allan?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
What's happening?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Alan?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Alan? You're there?
Speaker 2 (24:31):
All right, we'll put them back on hold. Let's try
Charles Hey, Charles Charles.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Hey, guys, how are you this morning?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Good?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Good?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Man?
Speaker 5 (24:40):
I just wanted to call in. I was one of
the camera guys that live stream the STD day. That's right.
It was fantastic.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
That was one word for it.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I think maybe, well, I won't say my favorite, but
one of my favorite things that happened was when it
was trending number one on Twitter and it was hashtag
st Kamala Harris and Joe Biden were number two because
they were both running for president.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah, that's right, Shannon.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Do you remember how many states we did a shout
out of like who's listening and who's watching? And the
number of states that chimed in it was incredible. I
think we hit pretty much every state at least watched
a few moments of the live stream.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Wow. Well, I mean that that was pretty awesome. I mean,
you were the guy who was streaming it, so it
was all on you, and I don't know, how do
you know how many views you ended up having on that.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
We had in one day? The total of the seven
hits that we did, you had over half a million views.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
That's pretty good, not that many. Really, Billy is not impressed.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Well, Billy, we're gonna get you on the fifty mile walk.
That's we need to figure out. Like this, I remember
the time was sub fifteen. I thought it was like
fourteen fifty.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
It could have been. I think you're probably right. I
would believe you if you say fourteenth anybody that's got
a less less time than fifteen hours I'll go with. So, yeah,
fourteen fifty sounds about right.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I don't have a lot of interest in doing a
task a lot of people can do, so you know,
I'll wait for a real challenge. Maybe you'll do more.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Heybale tossing, I mean it sounds like there's a lager
opportunity here if he If Billy could break a sub fifteen.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Then well people people have asked me if i'd be
willing to do it again, and I said, yeah, if
you're going to double the money, so we'll go double
or downing, we'll go ten thousand dollars. I'll do it again.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
I'll join doing it. I'll join you for that.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
Sean. I don't know how you walked after it was over,
because when we got to the bar, you I mean honestly,
fifty miles straight. I mean, you didn't stopped. You went
right through because you knew if you stopped then you
were too right.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Well, you know, everybody was telling me. Everybody was telling me.
All these experts on social media said you will not
be able to walk tomorrow. So what did I do, Billy?
I got back up at six o'clock in the morning,
went to the gym and walked another two or three
miles just to throw it in their face.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Oh I like that.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
So it's the power of the chicken wing too.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Come on, yeah, these cars after so you were telling
me off the air that you're going to Lincoln Park
tonight in Nashville.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
So have you seen have you seen them without Chester?
Speaker 5 (27:24):
H only online of course, but uh yeah, I'm looking
for Robard. Emily's vocals are pretty strong at the show,
and I've got some friends that are just done with it,
and others are like, hey, I kind.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Of like this.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Yeah, all right, well album is pretty solid.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Call us tomorrow let us know how it was.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, let us know. I'm interested to hear what you think.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Definitely, yep, all right man, thanks, thank you guys so much.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
See right, Yeah, well, he's really celebrating today.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
We are where's my cake and candles? Balloon?
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Later?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Later? I guess maybe the Louisville Building can celibate celebrate
that with you. Quickly though, he mentions noodles and water bottles. Quickly.
I want to get back to the phones. But he
mentioned Nashville. Just recently, Americans voted on the top ten
cities that Americans would most want to live in. Nashville, Tennessee,
and Tampa, Florida tied for number one. And I just
(28:16):
I don't know. Is this like a warning to Americans, Shannon,
Nashville is a place that you want to visit, it
is not a place that you want to live.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, visits right. I don't think
I would want to live there. Just too much traffic constantly,
it's all tourists.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I've never lived there, so maybe I'm speaking out of
turn here, but just how much that city has grown
since what it was maybe ten fifteen years ago, Shannon,
I think it'd be a disaster.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I know people who have lived there and they hated it.
But I like Nashville because, again, I don't have to
live there. I just to get to go whenever I
want to for a weekend popping experience. Todays it's good,
but yeah, and then going just getting around Nashville is
a nuisance. Like when I take the trip down south
to go to Florida, I got to go, you know,
sixty five south to Nashville, and just trying to get
around that traffic, it's thirty minutes to maybe even longer
(29:05):
depending on the day, just because of the traffic is awful.
No matter which way you go, there's traffic around Nashville.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah, good luck parking too. I mean it's becoming its
own little bit.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Who's up next, dude, Stanley, Hey, Stanley.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Hey, gentlemen, Hey got a Ham country Ham story here
real quick. Ya worked in Louisville there and a fellow
lived for herself, I think Lynchville, somewhere down in there,
and he was driving his old car to work one
day and it'd be down on him and think it
had a blown motor. And he got to work and
(29:37):
was telling us all about it. And one kid said,
one guy that worked with us, he said, yeah, I
want that car, I really want to. He said, Well,
it's blown it's probably blown up. Man, I won't run.
You have to get it on the hook, so he said,
and they ended up trading a black and white TV
and a country Ham for that old Ford. Wow.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Imagine that, billy, You got a black and white TV
in a country Ham for for a car?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yeah, what are you? What are you gonna give me
for that car? Well, I'd take that TV. It's almost
throwing a country Ham and that would be about even.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
It's almost like live tradio, you know, like we're more
broken down a little bit. Well, you know what, I
got a country Ham, I'll trade you for it.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
I'll throw in your TV deal.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Yeah, exactly. Wow, great call, Thanks for the coring.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Hey guy, Hey guys, I want to give a shout
out to my niece Sonny and parton. She's uh, she's
sophomore UK and she's also SEC. She's an SEC employee
working for the Sports Network. I'm not real sure what
her title is with the SEC, but she just got
that promotion and she's really cool. Sonny end parton.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
There you go, all, congratulations on the promotion to Sonny.
Shout out the country Yeah, and shout out to a
five H two two eight seven Before we take a break. Shannon,
I want to ask you about a topic that was
on KSR yesterday, and that's Auburn, the Auburn football team
claiming more national championships. Before this week, they had only
(31:02):
claimed two. They're now claiming an additional seven, Shandon, can
we just claim national championships despite not being named the
natual national champion? I'm trying to understand the story.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Can you no?
Speaker 3 (31:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
And is this like the official Auburn account or administration
that's trying to ye this or is this just a
loud group of fans.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
No, this is very official. This is the university seting.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
You can't claim it. You can't just claim it unless
you want it, right.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Well, yeah, so like back in the day, like nineteen twenties,
or they're saying that, you know, they ended the season
with an undefeated record, but like people that vote on
who the national champion was just picked a different team.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Okay, well you didn't get voted as the team then.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Exactly, So if you're going to count these championships that
were voted upon, how can you just declare yourself the
national champion?
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Now?
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I believe Alabama has done a lot of the same,
so maybe Auburn's just catching up. But it is egregious
not only for them to claim these national titles in
the early nineteen hundreds, but Shannon, they're doing it for
two thousand and four. They're doing it in the BCS
era when Oklahoma and USC also went undefeated and got
the number one and two distinctions. Auburn went undefeated, they
(32:14):
won the SEC championship, but they were third. They were
not in the national title. You cannot just claim you
won the national title. What am I missing here? This
seems stupid.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
I mean, you could claim anything you want, right, but
everybody else is going to laugh at you. I can
claim to you know, can claim to be a rocket scientist.
Doesn't mean I am one.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
So you can claim to be the radio heavyweight champion.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
I've defended that many times, and I think I've proven that.
I haven't just claimed it, I've proved it. But blame
anything Auburn, you know, like, what have they done to
prove that they're the champion? You didn't get voted as
the champion, and that's the way they did it back then.
Regardless if you went undefeated in the season or not
probably played a week schedule, you're probably playing the YMCA
every game. No wonder you went undefeated, Auburn, you're going
(32:56):
to say that's a championship team, don't think so?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
That's right. You played Swan in the SEC. It's a
little different than you know, maybe that when it was
recognized in another year. I don't know, Shanon. It just
seems a little bizarre that they can just claim it.
UCF has done the same, right when that year that
they went undefeated and didn't make the national title game.
But we are laughing at you, Auburn. That's ridiculous. But
maybe that's what Kentucky should do. Let's just start claiming titles.
(33:20):
Was there a basketball year that Kentucky was the better
team than the team that actually went to the battle? Yeah,
but they would have won.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Oh yeah, Well I'm going to say that about every
football game this year when we lose, Yeah, we lost,
but we would have won.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
One written by the winners or the losers in this
case A five nine two eight oh two two eights
And we'll take some more calls on the other side
of this break. It is the show before the show.
One final segment here on the ksarprecio. All right, welcome back.
It is our final segment of Billy and the Dude. Tomorrow,
ourselves and KSR will be with Volunteers of America in
(33:54):
Louisville at two twenty five East Breckinridge Street in Louisville, Kentucky.
Mayor Greenberg's gonna be there. It's his birthday tomorrow, Shannon,
So we have a little a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Looking forward to it. We'll see everybody out there.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Absolutely if five nine, two two eight seven. Before we
get back to the phone, Shannon, there's some rumors going
around that another billionaire in the next couple of weeks
is going to get in a submarine to visit the
Titanic wreckage. We are only two years removed of the
Ocean Gate tragedy that killed five people, but human curiosity
(34:27):
will not be subverted. We need to go down and
see the Titanic.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Well, we know what curiosity did to the cat and
it's not good. So, I mean, have we not learned
anything from that last debacle? I mean, I hope this
is more official than some guy controlling a submarine with
a PlayStation control with the Xbox controller.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
They seem like they were cutting corners.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
A little bit, yeah, a little bit my god.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
So maybe we can do this the right way. These
billionaires can get together and not make it so the
ship is ten thousand dollars total in using a GameCube
controller whatever it was. So but I don't know, that's
just not That's something I'm going to do anytime soon.
Can you know me take me to space before you
take me to the bottom of the ocean.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
YouTube is a great source. I can get on there
and I can get you know, type in what does
it look like in the bottom of a submarine and
I can I can get on there for free and
don't actually have to get into an actual submarine, don't
have to pay ten thousand dollars. I could type in,
you know, let's go to Africa on YouTube and boom,
there it is.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
You're in.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
You're in the Safari. So I'm just.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Saying to have a line coming up to you exactly.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
And there's no getting eaten by a lion or any
other wildlife. So that that's how I prefer to do things.
But you know what, to each their own. If you
got that kind of money, you want to go down
to the bottom of the ocean to see the Titanic,
then go for it. I mean, who knows. What if
it's not even the Titanic. What if it's just like
a replica somebody just dropped down on the bottom of
the ocean.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
It's just been warped over years. Well, you hit the
nail on the head. If you got that type of money.
If you got that, here's the thing I did, you
don't know what to do with it. Even if I did,
I would spend it on other things. I wouldn't want
to go to the bottom of the ocean to see
the Titanic. That's right. You'd have like a stone temple
pilot hologram in your house, and uh I.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Would I would be booking the band to play my backyard.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Okay, yes, so they're back in the backyard holograms. Let's
go back to the phone, Shannon. We still get some
people on the line. I want to get too, as
many as we can. Sosa, Sosa, it's up, Sosa.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
Yeah, Hey guys, it's going a little man. UH quick question.
I don't catch the UH the pre show all the time.
Shame on you all ever do update on the UH
on the the hip the hypnotize them.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
No, Billy has not been hypnotized yet. We need to
make that happen, though, you said you would be willing
to do it.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 6 (36:44):
I will with you all I want to quit smoking.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
You gotta you gotta pay for that, that's fine. Yeah,
you just.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Want to be a part of it.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
I mean, if you want to get hypnotized with Billy,
that's that's fine. But you know you can do it
on your own time too. You can just you can
find them.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
That's what I was wondering, is it is? It? Is
it actually like calming around Lexington Hypnotized well Shop on
the every corner.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
I've heard them advertised on the radio before hypnosis to yeah,
oh yeah, to quit smoking.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
It's like a seminar.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
And I'll be honest with you, Sosa, I haven't done
my due diligence yet into booking a hypnotist. I'd like
to do that. So if anybody has any recommendations, you know,
I'm I'm in the market for it. It's I feel
like it's kind of going to be like this lit
detector test where I wasn't able to find the person.
But you know what, they are out there as we
see them on every college campus for the freshman orientation.
So if we do it, Sosa, maybe you should.
Speaker 6 (37:43):
All right, I'm down guy, I appreciate y'all.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
All right, man, okay, thank you. I mean a quick
Google search I find already find some two of them
in Louisville Change your Mind hypnosis and self see hypnosis.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
I saw a tarot card reading at the fair.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Yeah, did you do it?
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Oh? I didn't know we were walking away, Shannon, So
you know, maybe we should have stopped.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
There's like three or four of them, and well one
of them only has one star review. That's the one
I want to go to. I want to go to
the guy that's so bad at doing hypnotist stuff that
he's got a one star review.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Yeah, he needs the pre production meeting before the hypnotist
bit on the radio though. He needs to tell you, hey,
this is what's going to happen, and you need to
do this. You need to act like a chicken when
I say this.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Yeah, I mean there's not a whole lot of like
you know, like sample size, because if you look at
the ratings, like one place has twenty one ratings, another
place has one rating, another place has one rating, and
another place has two ratings. So that's not a good
enough sample size for me to trust a hypnotist when
only two people have gone to them.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Okay, but Gmbilly's gonna make some calls today. Let's see
if we can make any progress on it today, and
then we'll give you the update tomorrow. I got to
write it on my handstander.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
You can get us some headphones for the studios while
you're making those calls.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Oh, you got some headphone problems over there.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, we're not.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Having a lot of problems.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
There's a lot of needs we have here. Let's go
to Corey. Let's help Corey.
Speaker 7 (39:07):
Hey, let's go along.
Speaker 5 (39:08):
Guys.
Speaker 7 (39:08):
First, I want to tell you, guys, Stan And I'm
uh so, I'm a sales rep not for comfortable distribution
company that sells comfortabley and I can't wait to have
Southern Kentucky drinking Shannon to do beer.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
No, man, I can't wait.
Speaker 7 (39:21):
Yeah, Yeah, it's gonna be awesome. The second the whole
Auburn claiming all these championship things, it goes under the radar.
A lot people forget that Kansas basketball does the same thing,
and it gets on my nerves so bad. So they
actually have banners hanging in their arena for two championships
that were pre tournament championships. So my thing is, if
(39:45):
Kansas is doing it, and now Auburn's doing it for football,
and what was I think Central Florida did it for
their football. Well, Kentucky has two tournaments that they won
pre tournament too, So let's let's get ten championship banners. Kidding,
I think it's I think it's I think it's cheasy,
but it is.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Yeah, we could. I mean, why even play the schedule.
Let's just say, you know what, we've already won the
national championship. Let's hang the banner right now. Thanks for
the call, Corey, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Yeah, so would you want that no kind of like
you know, Tennessee's banner and it championship banner or whatever.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
To say about somebody that actually did play but then
had it vacated, like Kentucky's football season where they had
ten wins. Yeah, we saw the games they played them.
But then if we're going to keep that same mentality
you know about Louisville, we got to keep that about
Kentucky football because we all said, well, Kentucky or Louisville
basketball didn't win it in twenty thirteen, it was vacated. Well,
(40:37):
then we had to vacate the ten win season for
football if we're going to keep that same energy.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Yeah, you know, Louisville fans should be furious on the
ruling of Michigan, the fact that there was no vacated winns,
the national title was not stripped. I mean, if anybody
has a right to be mad, I think it's Louisville fans.
I mean, if if I was them, I would raise
the banner again and just I mean, why would you
recognize the NCAA's authority on anything nowadays? It's that's why
you don't self impose penalties either. But that's why you
(41:06):
don't work with them. What you gotta do about it?
Come to come, take it, Take it hey. Promo code
casts are on DraftKings. Bet five dollars, get two hundred
dollars in bonus bets only on DraftKings.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
The crown as yours.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
All right, We're in Louisville tomorrow, ksrs next, thanks for listening.
We'll talk to you tomorrow.
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR Pre Show.
Today is Thursday, August twenty first. I am Billy Rutlide
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 zho two two eight seven. Text
us at five oh two two sixty five sixty six
five six be a part of the show. As always,
the KSR Pre Show is brought to you by Italics
(00:22):
Fine Italian dining right here in Lexington, Kentucky, open in
the City Center on Main Street. Not for dinner, but
for lunch. If you haven't checked it out, please do so.
August twenty first a pretty insignificant date. I mean, happy
birthday to Usain Bolt. Happy birthday at Casey Musgraves, the
country music singer. Back in nineteen fifty nine, Dwight D.
(00:45):
Eisenhoward signed a proclamation officially declaring Hawaii the fiftieth state.
And that's about it for historical events. August twenty first,
what's up, Shannon? How are you man?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
You know, I thought I had a little bit of
faith in you. I thought that you would start the
show by wishing me a happy Shannon the Dude day.
But yet you've mentioned all these other insignificant things that happened,
and you didn't even mention my big day. Today is
the day we're celebrating it. We're having Shannon the Dude's bruise,
we're walking at least fifty feet.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I know you're not gonna walk fifty miles, but we're
all celebrating today. And uh, I'm a little disappointed in
you this morning, Billy, that you didn't you didn't wish
me a happy shand of the Dude Dude.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I just I don't recognize this holiday, I guess. I mean,
can I get a copy if you want to make
it a holiday.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I don't recognize your a little plastic trophy that you
have for the Haybell toss either. We don't recognize that either.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Here.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I surely recognize that Heybill throwing contest, which we're going
to be competing for again pretty soon when we go
back to Lebanon for country Ham Days. Speaking of country
Ham today as the country Ham Breakfast at the Kentucky
State Fair, Shannon. So, a day that we celebrate for
Shannon walking fifty miles is all day where rich billionaires
will spend millions of dollars on some country ham.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, so it's like the most expensive country ham in
the world. Right, you got these rich people that go
up and they I guess what auction off a ham
and these go for? Is it like a million dollars
or hundreds of thousands of dollars? What was the price
on the country ham last year?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
The record from the crafts last year was ten point
five million. Oh my gosh, what the country ham at
the State Fair? Now we've got boots on the ground, Shannon.
I don't know if you remember this, but every year
we have a KSR pre show listener that gets us
the winning price of the ham before it's report, like
before the news reporters can get it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
How we can have breaking news here on the pre show.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
That's right. So if you're listening, if you're a lucky
listener today, you will be one of the first to
know what the official price is for the country ham
at the State Fair later today.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Can I tell you that yesterday I had no idea.
By the way, it was three day at the State Fair,
But yesterday I felt like I was kind of ahead
of this because I went over to have lunch with
my mom and she cooked up some country ham and
it was awesome, and I too huge pieces of country ham.
The only problem about eating country ham is you feel
like you're in the Sahara and don't have any water
(03:07):
because you are thirsty fust of the entire day. In
the rest of my day, because I was so thirsty,
I was just chugging bottles of water. It's salty, get
like dries out in your body when you eat country ham.
And I love country ham. It's my favorite breakfast food,
country ham. But you know you can't eat too much
of it, otherwise you're just chugging bottles of water all
day like I was yesterday.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
The dump truck of salt that's backed up and put
on that ham for some broad so good. It's an
acquired taste. I think acquired taste. Oh yeah, yeah. From
the South is the.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Guy who drinks unsweetened tea.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I'm not a fan of sweet tea. That's another thing
of the South. You would say you got to have
that sweet tea, right man.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I grew up on sweet tea and country ham and sargum.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Sweet tea, country ham and sorrow. I'm just a pumpkin farmer.
Trying to get through the day.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
This is a body built by Country Ham, sweet Tea
and Sorgum right here.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I'm a little sad we're not there for the Country
ham y. Remember was it last year? A couple years ago?
We were on We were there that day when they
were selling the Ham, and so Mark, Pope, Pat Kelsey,
a lot of the politicians and the movers and shakers
of the Commonwealth there at the Kentucky State Fair today. Shannon, So, well,
what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
What do you do when you spend ten and a
half million dollars on a ham? Do you put that
thing in like a glass box a display in your house?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I'm eating it?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
You eat it?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, I mean I've got to have a taste of
what ten and a half million dollars taste.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I mean, it tastes just like the same ham that
I ate yesterday. It tastes exactly the same.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
You're telling me, it's the exact same as the one I.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Could take, exactly exactly. I mean, it's all about the charity, right,
I mean, that's right, that's what it's all about. Is
less about the ham and more about the charity. And
what charity is that By the way do we know?
I feel like that should be. I feel like the
Country Ham gets all the spotlight, but really we should
be highlighting the charity that it goes to, and either
a the double check is it like the.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Farm Bureau or something like that that would make sense.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Country We'll figure it out. I don't know, but my
point it's all about the Country Ham. It gets all
the shine. Meanwhile the charity you and I don't even
know it.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, but just like the fact that it's ten and
a half million dollars the record big last year and
probably we'll be beaten again this year. Could that money
be used for like nil Shannon could like the crafts
give that as a as a gift that we can
give to the players or something. I feel like that
might be. I don't mara what I would want this money.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I would go play at Kentucky for a Country Ham.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
That's I like this.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Actually we heard Shepte why did he come to Kentucky?
They had great food? Said, that's true. One of the
deciding factors was the fact that Kentucky had great food
and that's why he wanted to stay here.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, that's true. So I mean that guy is just
a quote machine. How fun is he going to be
this year? Maybe after wins and losses, mating this team,
so that that's fun as you count down the days
until Kentucky Football next Saturday and they take on Toledo.
So that's been on today, A fair country hand breakfast
and Shannon the Dude day here in Lexington. Unbelievably here
a Hittington Opton. I don't know why we did that,
(06:09):
but you know, she's.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
My favorite mayor really of all the mayor, he's.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
My favorite handing out days like it's you know something
just that you get it anywhere.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Well, I mean we're all still waiting for you to
go out and walk fifty miles.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, that's because I don't need any fanfare for it.
I can also start in the rain or at night.
You know, I don't need the conditions perfect.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
You'd blow away in the rain.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Oh please please, It may take it may take me
a little bit longer than you did. Shannon. How long
did it take, by the way, because you did it
less than twenty four hours that it was impressive.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, well, I mean the challenge was to walk fifty
miles in twenty hours, and you see there on the
picture that I posted, it says fifteen hours and forty
three minutes. I think it was actually a little bit
less than that. I think it was like fifteen twenty ish,
if you want, like an official time, because I forgot
to hit stop on my watch, so I was, you know,
(06:59):
just sitting there backing in my glory for like twenty
twenty five minutes before I hit stop on the watch.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And what was the immediate aftermath? Was it a pass out,
go to bed for thirteen hours or where did you go?
Grub on something?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, so I got I remember getting to the CHS
bar and there was a bunch of people there waiting.
That was cool to see everybody, and really cool to
see everybody along the way, along the route at all
hours of the night we're out or just handing out,
you know, bottles of water, playing STP on their speakers,
trying to give me some motivation. But you know, after
the fact, I remember Drew had one of those little
(07:34):
massage guns, just like you know you can do. They're
very nice, and that felt amazing on my back right
after walking fifty miles. That was the hardest thing. My
back was killing me. But now it jumped in the
car I had a driver. It was our Boyle Bennett.
He was a niche driver. Yeah, he was a boor
(07:55):
Freudian slip. No, I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. He was
nice enough to drive me back from Lexington, and I
remember Terry Miners wanted to talk to me, so I
jumped on his show.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Which you say you don't remember the I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Really remember the interview. I mean, I'm being on the show,
but I don't remember what I said on the show.
Because you got to keep in mind also the night
before I didn't get hardly any sleep, and I tried
to go home after the show that day and sleep
for like an hour, but I was so pumped up
that I got no sleep at all. So I was
running off of about forty hours of no sleep and
then I just crashed when I got home, and then
(08:26):
immediately went out, got wings car, blowed it and you
sit us at my table. I had, you know, like
when you go to these sports bars, how they give
you like these giant cups, like when you order like
a soda or a water whatever it is. I don't
know what they are. Let's say twenty ounces, maybe bigger.
I had seven of those lined up at my dinner
(08:47):
and I I drank every bit of it. I was
so dehydrated after I drank seven large whatever those big
tall whatever the ounces is and those big tall cups
that you get like at a restaurant. I'm gonna say
twenty ounces, and I drink seven.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Of those of water. Yess what you're saying?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yes, in one setting?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Jeez, that is that is a ton of water. Probably
didn't go to the bathroom. Well you need it all, hey.
They told me to hydrate.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
They say, once you're finished, make sure you hydrate, like
the next twenty four hours. I didn't disappoint.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Well, we can celebrate that today on August twenty first.
If you want to give us call today eight five
nine two eight zero two two eight seven. Speaking of
the achievements of children, I looked at the sixties playgrounds yesterday, Shannon.
I had not seen a nineteen sixties playground, and so
I started talking about the new park that's going in
by his house near Rapparina. Uh, Gatton Park. And one, yeah,
(09:41):
Gatton Park looks a little dangerous, Shannon, but not after
you look at the ones from nineteen sixty. Man, like
those kids are it's like those pictures of construction workers
that are hanging off beams thousands of feet off off
the ground. Just take that a little miniature version of that,
and these kids were doing that on the monkey bars
back in the day.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah, I don't know how that was ever approved. I
don't think they had to go through regulations and approvals
back then. They just kind of built whatever they want
and kids got on it and that was the end
of it. But even for a modern day playground, I
see what he's talking about. Yeah, there's like a like
a wall climbing like a mountain like, how would you
describe it, rock climbing type of thing. Yeah, but it's
(10:20):
not straight up and down. It's kind of like on
a steep incline and then it kind of like waves
a little bit and it goes there's a little bit
of a dip and it goes back up again. But
ultimate that, if you've seen this picture, there are no guardrails,
there's no netting in case you were to slip and
fall off to if you fall off and roll to
the right, you're just going to hit the ground. I mean,
there's no two ways about it. And it doesn't look
(10:43):
safe at all.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah, but are playgrounds supposed to be a safe space? Shannon?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Well?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah, are they supposed to be wrapped in bubble wrap
and foam? I mean, should there be an inherent risk
if you're going to get on the rock climbing wall,
and I think that there is going to be one,
then yeah, So maybe theseus can go maybe a long
way to toughening up our children, Shannon. Maybe this is
the avenue. Oh, this is what designers are going for here.
(11:08):
It's not nineteen sixty. I mean it's it's not that bad.
But maybe this is how we toughen up the children
of America.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, drop them on their head, that'll make them tough.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Maybe you'll think twice before you just run around and
go willy nilly without a plan. Shannon. Uh, I remember
a slide that would throw you around back in the day,
that thing would read, you'd be near the sound barrier
that that slide back in the day that I used
to get on would go so fast, Shannon, So maybe
this is just part of that plan.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Trying to remember, Like the worst injury that I had
on a playground as a kid, and I think was
actually at my friend's backyard on a swing set and
they had one of.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Those whole other kids.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Well, yeah, yeah, no, this was you know, you had
like the regular swings, then you also had like this
thing where you could sit on both sides of it
and it would rock back and oh yeah yeah. Well
as a kid, I was I don't know why. I
guess I was climbing up on the side of the
structure because that's what kids do. And I somehow put
my finger like in like I guess an area to
(12:03):
where when this thing rocked up, all this metal crunched
down on my finger, on my finger nail and like
smashed it and cut it in half. And as a kid,
you can imagine I was screaming bloody murder, like you know, yeah,
like I've just gotten shot. But man, you want to
talk about you ever slam like your finger in a
door or something like that, getting pinched by something rocking
(12:27):
up and it's right in between two pieces of metal,
And that was that was I think that was the
worst playground injury I ever had.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, vivid childhood memory of doing that with my pinky
finger into a metal door at an afterschool camp that
I was at. So that was that was a rough erence.
That swing set was brutal, though.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Man, I kind of relived that at the KSR Golf
Scramble a couple of days ago because they had these
folding chairs and I did the same thing. I didn't
know if you unfold the chair that there's a piece
of metal that slams right up against your finger and
catches it.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
And it caught your finger.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, and I kind of had a flashback from that
moment in my childhood getting injured on the player. So yeah,
but be safe out there, kids.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
A little tough in these kids up one way or another.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Right, we'll smash her, smash your finger one at a
time till you're tough. Can't use dropad anymore.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Whether we don't let you on the postgame show or
you kind of go smash your finger in a playground,
these kids will. We will tough from them up one
way or another. Eight five nine two two eight seven.
It is the show before the show, the KSR pre show.
A little later today on ks R. Ryan Lemon will
return after moving his son into school yesterday at the
University of Kentucky and the fact it was he he
(13:32):
was already yelling at police officers that we got the
update yesterday. Knew that it was going to be an
emotional day for our guy Ryan, so looking forward to
hearing from him a little later today.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Hold on, now, okay, I kind of got sidetracked here.
You got something, Yeah, because somebody tweeted me. I didn't
realize this. We're talking about what what today? Is? The
significance of.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Today, significant day, biggest day of the year.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
The biggest day of the year. Everybody is celebrate I
don't know why people are working. I don't know why
I'm working right now. Everybody should be off work celebrating
my day.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Well.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah, if there's anything that can trump Shannon the due Day,
it's the fact that today we are celebrating the one
hundred and sixth birthday of sister Jean with Sister Jean,
Is that right? This is from Yeah, this is actually
NCAA March Madness with a gold check mark and one
(14:19):
point seven million followers, So I'm going to say that's correct.
One hundred and six years old. That is amazing. Happy birthday,
Sister Jean.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Happy birthday, Sister Jean. She's still alive, right, one hundred
and six.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Why would we be counting birthdays if she wasn't still alive.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I don't know. We still count birthdays. Sometimes the people
that die the speak.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Look, the significant is real, is what we're talking about.
Trying to kill off sister Jean. She's one of my
favorite people left on the planet.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Oh, what an insignificant day.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
With your mic, I'm turning your mic off. We're going
to break. We'll be all right back, welcome back.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
It is the case. Our pre show, Shannon's got me
going down memory lane here smashing my finger into the
door after school cares man, I thought we were gonna
have to amputate that thing, but you know what disaster averted.
Our friend Core Price chimed in with a bunch of information,
including the first Kentucky State Fair ham auction that took
(15:18):
place in nineteen sixty four, with the winning bid of
one hundred and forty dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
What a bunch of cheapskates.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Really, Well, well, let's think nineteen sixty four. That was
probably a lot of money, right, I mean people were
buying houses for probably that much money back then. Yeah,
my generation can't even afford a house because of the
boomers that bought houses at nineteen sixty four and now
sell them for millions. Of dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Well, yeah, don't don't blame the boomers, blame the market.
It is what it is.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
So what you hear the bitterness in my voice? Can
I say that?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah? I mean I don't know. I bought a house.
What's your problem? So I wonder what the conversion rated, like,
what the inflation rate? Take? What was it? You said,
one hundred and.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Sixty one hundred and forty dollars in teen sixty four
one hundred.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
And forty dollars is equivalent to what in today's world.
I wonder we could probably google that.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, maybe you can get on the inflation calculator and
dial that up. Also, uh, Corey shared with us that
the Crafts donated the money or the money went to
the Boys and Girls Club that helped build houses to
communities that had recently touched a flooding in Kentucky. So
that's a good cost. So if it's not going to
go to UK and IL, then you know, building houses
(16:26):
in Kentucky is also another good thing. Yeah A five
nine two eight zero two two eight seven. We'll get
to calls in just a second here, But Shannon College

on all of those games on Draftking.

slash audio. So according to forty dollars and nineteen sixty
(17:22):
four is equivalent to one four hundred and fifty eight
dollars and ninety three cents. Okay, so not ten million dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
No, No, we've jumped up quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
That's right. I would still say that one hundred and
forty dollars is too much to buy for a country ham.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
You think so?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
So, I mean we think the going right rate for
a country ham should be.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
In nineteen sixty four today, just today.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
If I were to go out to a store right now,
I want to buy a country Ham, how much do
you think it should.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Cost the full bone in ham? Are we talking about here?
Because yes, I mean yeah, okay, I mean probably, I
mean a little less than one hundred and forty honestly,
maybe eighty ninety dollars. Shan, you still think that's.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Too Yeah, I got one right here. Not only will
you get a country Ham, they'll bring it to your
front porch on door dash for forty five bucks.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Forty five dollars. Yeah, that seems incredibly reasonable for an
entire hand.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Well, yeah, when you just paid ten and a half
million for it, forty four dollars does sound pretty reasonable?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Can this really doesn't include tip?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Yeah? No, I see it there, you know, forty five
bucks on a door dash.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well, nowadays you can just a person to go to
any store that you want to and bring you something. Right,
you need a light bulb, you need a screwdriver, you
can just find somebody to go find it for you,
whether it be is it task wrap or something like that.
I'm not sure what this thing.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I haven't gotten to that point of laziness yet. I
usually just get up off.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
My mind there yet, get off off my button, go
get it myself. Well, if you go to Walmart, be careful.
They've been selling radioactive shrimp. Shannon, have you seen that story.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
I saw there was a shrimp recall. You're telling me
they're radioactive? But am I going to turn into like
if I eat this?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Or like?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
What what's the no?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah, so I have this on the list. The FDA
issued an urgent warning about Great Value raw frozen shrimp
at your local Walmart. It's been contaminated with Sessium one
thirty seven, a radioactive isotope linked to cancer. These sixteen
ounce bags were distributed to thirteen states, including Kentucky, So
be careful if you buy Great Value frozen shrimp at
(19:18):
your local Walmart.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Shan, I'm a little concerned because I did eat shrimp recently. Wait, wait,
hold on, hold on, hold, on, hold on, I don't
know it came from a Chinese buffet. Okay, so the
good chance that's.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Almost worse because you don't even know where it came from, right, But.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Yeah, why Chinese buffet has shrimp? I don't know. But
it was there and it looked good and I ate it,
and you're telling me, and I'm gonna guess it came
from Great Value.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Well, if you're buying the Great Value shrimp from Walmart,
I think you're already towing that line.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Well. I think I'm probably immune to everything, because I mean, look,
I was drinking water from my not guard host. I
did that as a kid, but just from the tap
after they said boil your water because we had a
water main break.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Oh you were still drinking boiling wail.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Any water drinking that hasn't killed me yet, Okay, So
I don't think that. You know, and I used to
work out Phoenix Hll tavern every Wednesday night, every kind
of thing you can imagine. There was floating around the air,
a lot of judging going on there. I'm just exactly,
not exactly. The cleanest place is what I'm driving towards.
(20:27):
So I think I'll be okay, if I ate one
or two great value shrimp that it's radioactive.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Okay, all right, just be careful. I mean they had
the high noon mix up where you're just trying to
get a little boost to energy with your Celsius and
you're drinking vodka Seltzer and now you've got radioactive shrimp. Shan.
We need to we need to fix this supply chain problem.
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (20:46):

You can join the show by texting us at five
oh two two sixty five. Sixty six five six, where
one person says STD went right to his vibrator immediately
after the walk. That's right, the massage gun to feel
(22:27):
a little better on the back. Shannon, you were telling
me you got a scam call during the break.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, I get these all the time, but
this one's good. You know, I look on an Apple phone.
If they leave a voicemail, you get the transcription. So
I haven't listened to the voicemail, but the transcription says
this call is to authorize the payment of one four
and ninety nine dollars for a recent order of Apple
MacBook Pro on your Amazon account. If you do not
authorize this payment, please press one to speak to our
(22:54):
customer support representative.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Oh, well, you might want to call back and press one, Shannon.
You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sure I'll get right
charge on your card.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Right.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You probably have to give them that card information just
to make sure it's on file value.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Jokes on them. I don't have an Amazon account, so deleite.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Well I don't think you have a MacBook either, right, No, No,
not buying anything regarding that. Speaking of blaming others, Shannon,
what happened to the podcast audio yesterday. I was just
trying to listen to the second hour and a little
scratchy there. Did something happen?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yet?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
You moved to the new studio. Everything will work there,
they said, Do I need to say more? Oh, we
have computers in this studio that apparently get full of memory,
and when they get full of memory, they start glitching.
Little did anybody know that this computer was full on
(23:45):
its memory and started glitching. And that's what the issue
was with the podcast, which made it completely unlistenable. So
on behalf of our terrible equipment, I apologize on its behalf.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
There it is listen to this. Thank you, Shan. Now
I understand. I understand your predicament. We all run out
of hard drive eventually.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Right, Well, when you get around forty five or so,
I hear hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
My bells in the other studio shada, damn it. But yeah,
thank you for everybody being a little patient with us yesterday.
The audio should be back to normal today, Shane. Let's
go back to the phones though today. Who got up next?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Allan?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
What's happening?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Alan?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Alan? You're there?
Speaker 2 (24:31):
All right, we'll put them back on hold. Let's try
Charles Hey, Charles Charles.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Hey, guys, how are you this morning?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Good?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Good?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Man?
Speaker 5 (24:40):
I just wanted to call in. I was one of
the camera guys that live stream the STD day. That's right.
It was fantastic.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
That was one word for it.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I think maybe, well, I won't say my favorite, but
one of my favorite things that happened was when it
was trending number one on Twitter and it was hashtag
st Kamala Harris and Joe Biden were number two because
they were both running for president.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah, that's right, Shannon.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Do you remember how many states we did a shout
out of like who's listening and who's watching? And the
number of states that chimed in it was incredible. I
think we hit pretty much every state at least watched
a few moments of the live stream.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Wow. Well, I mean that that was pretty awesome. I mean,
you were the guy who was streaming it, so it
was all on you, and I don't know, how do
you know how many views you ended up having on that.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
We had in one day? The total of the seven
hits that we did, you had over half a million views.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
That's pretty good, not that many. Really, Billy is not impressed.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Well, Billy, we're gonna get you on the fifty mile walk.
That's we need to figure out. Like this, I remember
the time was sub fifteen. I thought it was like
fourteen fifty.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
It could have been. I think you're probably right. I
would believe you if you say fourteenth anybody that's got
a less less time than fifteen hours I'll go with. So, yeah,
fourteen fifty sounds about right.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I don't have a lot of interest in doing a
task a lot of people can do, so you know,
I'll wait for a real challenge. Maybe you'll do more.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Heybale tossing, I mean it sounds like there's a lager
opportunity here if he If Billy could break a sub fifteen.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Then well people people have asked me if i'd be
willing to do it again, and I said, yeah, if
you're going to double the money, so we'll go double
or downing, we'll go ten thousand dollars. I'll do it again.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
I'll join doing it. I'll join you for that.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
Sean. I don't know how you walked after it was over,
because when we got to the bar, you I mean honestly,
fifty miles straight. I mean, you didn't stopped. You went
right through because you knew if you stopped then you
were too right.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Well, you know, everybody was telling me. Everybody was telling me.
All these experts on social media said you will not
be able to walk tomorrow. So what did I do, Billy?
I got back up at six o'clock in the morning,
went to the gym and walked another two or three
miles just to throw it in their face.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Oh I like that.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
So it's the power of the chicken wing too.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Come on, yeah, these cars after so you were telling
me off the air that you're going to Lincoln Park
tonight in Nashville.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
So have you seen have you seen them without Chester?
Speaker 5 (27:24):
H only online of course, but uh yeah, I'm looking
for Robard. Emily's vocals are pretty strong at the show,
and I've got some friends that are just done with it,
and others are like, hey, I kind.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Of like this.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Yeah, all right, well album is pretty solid.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Call us tomorrow let us know how it was.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, let us know. I'm interested to hear what you think.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Definitely, yep, all right man, thanks, thank you guys so much.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
See right, Yeah, well, he's really celebrating today.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
We are where's my cake and candles? Balloon?
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Later?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Later? I guess maybe the Louisville Building can celibate celebrate
that with you. Quickly though, he mentions noodles and water bottles. Quickly.
I want to get back to the phones. But he
mentioned Nashville. Just recently, Americans voted on the top ten
cities that Americans would most want to live in. Nashville, Tennessee,
and Tampa, Florida tied for number one. And I just
(28:16):
I don't know. Is this like a warning to Americans, Shannon,
Nashville is a place that you want to visit, it
is not a place that you want to live.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, visits right. I don't think
I would want to live there. Just too much traffic constantly,
it's all tourists.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I've never lived there, so maybe I'm speaking out of
turn here, but just how much that city has grown
since what it was maybe ten fifteen years ago, Shannon,
I think it'd be a disaster.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I know people who have lived there and they hated it.
But I like Nashville because, again, I don't have to
live there. I just to get to go whenever I
want to for a weekend popping experience. Todays it's good,
but yeah, and then going just getting around Nashville is
a nuisance. Like when I take the trip down south
to go to Florida, I got to go, you know,
sixty five south to Nashville, and just trying to get
around that traffic, it's thirty minutes to maybe even longer
(29:05):
depending on the day, just because of the traffic is awful.
No matter which way you go, there's traffic around Nashville.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah, good luck parking too. I mean it's becoming its
own little bit.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Who's up next, dude, Stanley, Hey, Stanley.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Hey, gentlemen, Hey got a Ham country Ham story here
real quick. Ya worked in Louisville there and a fellow
lived for herself, I think Lynchville, somewhere down in there,
and he was driving his old car to work one
day and it'd be down on him and think it
had a blown motor. And he got to work and
(29:37):
was telling us all about it. And one kid said,
one guy that worked with us, he said, yeah, I
want that car, I really want to. He said, Well,
it's blown it's probably blown up. Man, I won't run.
You have to get it on the hook, so he said,
and they ended up trading a black and white TV
and a country Ham for that old Ford. Wow.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Imagine that, billy, You got a black and white TV
in a country Ham for for a car?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yeah, what are you? What are you gonna give me
for that car? Well, I'd take that TV. It's almost
throwing a country Ham and that would be about even.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
It's almost like live tradio, you know, like we're more
broken down a little bit. Well, you know what, I
got a country Ham, I'll trade you for it.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
I'll throw in your TV deal.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Yeah, exactly. Wow, great call, Thanks for the coring.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Hey guy, Hey guys, I want to give a shout
out to my niece Sonny and parton. She's uh, she's
sophomore UK and she's also SEC. She's an SEC employee
working for the Sports Network. I'm not real sure what
her title is with the SEC, but she just got
that promotion and she's really cool. Sonny end parton.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
There you go, all, congratulations on the promotion to Sonny.
Shout out the country Yeah, and shout out to a
five H two two eight seven Before we take a break. Shannon,
I want to ask you about a topic that was
on KSR yesterday, and that's Auburn, the Auburn football team
claiming more national championships. Before this week, they had only
(31:02):
claimed two. They're now claiming an additional seven, Shandon, can
we just claim national championships despite not being named the
natual national champion? I'm trying to understand the story.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Can you no?
Speaker 3 (31:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
And is this like the official Auburn account or administration
that's trying to ye this or is this just a
loud group of fans.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
No, this is very official. This is the university seting.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
You can't claim it. You can't just claim it unless
you want it, right.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Well, yeah, so like back in the day, like nineteen twenties,
or they're saying that, you know, they ended the season
with an undefeated record, but like people that vote on
who the national champion was just picked a different team.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Okay, well you didn't get voted as the team then.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Exactly, So if you're going to count these championships that
were voted upon, how can you just declare yourself the
national champion?
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Now?
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I believe Alabama has done a lot of the same,
so maybe Auburn's just catching up. But it is egregious
not only for them to claim these national titles in
the early nineteen hundreds, but Shannon, they're doing it for
two thousand and four. They're doing it in the BCS
era when Oklahoma and USC also went undefeated and got
the number one and two distinctions. Auburn went undefeated, they
(32:14):
won the SEC championship, but they were third. They were
not in the national title. You cannot just claim you
won the national title. What am I missing here? This
seems stupid.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
I mean, you could claim anything you want, right, but
everybody else is going to laugh at you. I can
claim to you know, can claim to be a rocket scientist.
Doesn't mean I am one.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
So you can claim to be the radio heavyweight champion.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
I've defended that many times, and I think I've proven that.
I haven't just claimed it, I've proved it. But blame
anything Auburn, you know, like, what have they done to
prove that they're the champion? You didn't get voted as
the champion, and that's the way they did it back then.
Regardless if you went undefeated in the season or not
probably played a week schedule, you're probably playing the YMCA
every game. No wonder you went undefeated, Auburn, you're going
(32:56):
to say that's a championship team, don't think so?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
That's right. You played Swan in the SEC. It's a
little different than you know, maybe that when it was
recognized in another year. I don't know, Shanon. It just
seems a little bizarre that they can just claim it.
UCF has done the same, right when that year that
they went undefeated and didn't make the national title game.
But we are laughing at you, Auburn. That's ridiculous. But
maybe that's what Kentucky should do. Let's just start claiming titles.
(33:20):
Was there a basketball year that Kentucky was the better
team than the team that actually went to the battle? Yeah,
but they would have won.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Oh yeah, Well I'm going to say that about every
football game this year when we lose, Yeah, we lost,
but we would have won.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
One written by the winners or the losers in this
case A five nine two eight oh two two eights
And we'll take some more calls on the other side
of this break. It is the show before the show.
One final segment here on the ksarprecio. All right, welcome back.
It is our final segment of Billy and the Dude. Tomorrow,
ourselves and KSR will be with Volunteers of America in
(33:54):
Louisville at two twenty five East Breckinridge Street in Louisville, Kentucky.
Mayor Greenberg's gonna be there. It's his birthday tomorrow, Shannon,
So we have a little a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Looking forward to it. We'll see everybody out there.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Absolutely if five nine, two two eight seven. Before we
get back to the phone, Shannon, there's some rumors going
around that another billionaire in the next couple of weeks
is going to get in a submarine to visit the
Titanic wreckage. We are only two years removed of the
Ocean Gate tragedy that killed five people, but human curiosity
(34:27):
will not be subverted. We need to go down and
see the Titanic.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Well, we know what curiosity did to the cat and
it's not good. So, I mean, have we not learned
anything from that last debacle? I mean, I hope this
is more official than some guy controlling a submarine with
a PlayStation control with the Xbox controller.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
They seem like they were cutting corners.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
A little bit, yeah, a little bit my god.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
So maybe we can do this the right way. These
billionaires can get together and not make it so the
ship is ten thousand dollars total in using a GameCube
controller whatever it was. So but I don't know, that's
just not That's something I'm going to do anytime soon.
Can you know me take me to space before you
take me to the bottom of the ocean.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
YouTube is a great source. I can get on there
and I can get you know, type in what does
it look like in the bottom of a submarine and
I can I can get on there for free and
don't actually have to get into an actual submarine, don't
have to pay ten thousand dollars. I could type in,
you know, let's go to Africa on YouTube and boom,
there it is.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
You're in.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
You're in the Safari. So I'm just.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Saying to have a line coming up to you exactly.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
And there's no getting eaten by a lion or any
other wildlife. So that that's how I prefer to do things.
But you know what, to each their own. If you
got that kind of money, you want to go down
to the bottom of the ocean to see the Titanic,
then go for it. I mean, who knows. What if
it's not even the Titanic. What if it's just like
a replica somebody just dropped down on the bottom of
the ocean.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
It's just been warped over years. Well, you hit the
nail on the head. If you got that type of money.
If you got that, here's the thing I did, you
don't know what to do with it. Even if I did,
I would spend it on other things. I wouldn't want
to go to the bottom of the ocean to see
the Titanic. That's right. You'd have like a stone temple
pilot hologram in your house, and uh I.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Would I would be booking the band to play my backyard.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Okay, yes, so they're back in the backyard holograms. Let's
go back to the phone, Shannon. We still get some
people on the line. I want to get too, as
many as we can. Sosa, Sosa, it's up, Sosa.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
Yeah, Hey guys, it's going a little man. UH quick question.
I don't catch the UH the pre show all the time.
Shame on you all ever do update on the UH
on the the hip the hypnotize them.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
No, Billy has not been hypnotized yet. We need to
make that happen, though, you said you would be willing
to do it.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 6 (36:44):
I will with you all I want to quit smoking.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
You gotta you gotta pay for that, that's fine. Yeah,
you just.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Want to be a part of it.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
I mean, if you want to get hypnotized with Billy,
that's that's fine. But you know you can do it
on your own time too. You can just you can
find them.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
That's what I was wondering, is it is? It? Is
it actually like calming around Lexington Hypnotized well Shop on
the every corner.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
I've heard them advertised on the radio before hypnosis to yeah,
oh yeah, to quit smoking.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
It's like a seminar.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
And I'll be honest with you, Sosa, I haven't done
my due diligence yet into booking a hypnotist. I'd like
to do that. So if anybody has any recommendations, you know,
I'm I'm in the market for it. It's I feel
like it's kind of going to be like this lit
detector test where I wasn't able to find the person.
But you know what, they are out there as we
see them on every college campus for the freshman orientation.
So if we do it, Sosa, maybe you should.
Speaker 6 (37:43):
All right, I'm down guy, I appreciate y'all.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
All right, man, okay, thank you. I mean a quick
Google search I find already find some two of them
in Louisville Change your Mind hypnosis and self see hypnosis.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
I saw a tarot card reading at the fair.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Yeah, did you do it?
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Oh? I didn't know we were walking away, Shannon, So
you know, maybe we should have stopped.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
There's like three or four of them, and well one
of them only has one star review. That's the one
I want to go to. I want to go to
the guy that's so bad at doing hypnotist stuff that
he's got a one star review.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Yeah, he needs the pre production meeting before the hypnotist
bit on the radio though. He needs to tell you, hey,
this is what's going to happen, and you need to
do this. You need to act like a chicken when
I say this.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Yeah, I mean there's not a whole lot of like
you know, like sample size, because if you look at
the ratings, like one place has twenty one ratings, another
place has one rating, another place has one rating, and
another place has two ratings. So that's not a good
enough sample size for me to trust a hypnotist when
only two people have gone to them.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Okay, but Gmbilly's gonna make some calls today. Let's see
if we can make any progress on it today, and
then we'll give you the update tomorrow. I got to
write it on my handstander.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
You can get us some headphones for the studios while
you're making those calls.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Oh, you got some headphone problems over there.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, we're not.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Having a lot of problems.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
There's a lot of needs we have here. Let's go
to Corey. Let's help Corey.
Speaker 7 (39:07):
Hey, let's go along.
Speaker 5 (39:08):
Guys.
Speaker 7 (39:08):
First, I want to tell you, guys, Stan And I'm
uh so, I'm a sales rep not for comfortable distribution
company that sells comfortabley and I can't wait to have
Southern Kentucky drinking Shannon to do beer.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
No, man, I can't wait.
Speaker 7 (39:21):
Yeah, Yeah, it's gonna be awesome. The second the whole
Auburn claiming all these championship things, it goes under the radar.
A lot people forget that Kansas basketball does the same thing,
and it gets on my nerves so bad. So they
actually have banners hanging in their arena for two championships
that were pre tournament championships. So my thing is, if
(39:45):
Kansas is doing it, and now Auburn's doing it for football,
and what was I think Central Florida did it for
their football. Well, Kentucky has two tournaments that they won
pre tournament too, So let's let's get ten championship banners. Kidding,
I think it's I think it's I think it's cheasy,
but it is.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Yeah, we could. I mean, why even play the schedule.
Let's just say, you know what, we've already won the
national championship. Let's hang the banner right now. Thanks for
the call, Corey, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Yeah, so would you want that no kind of like
you know, Tennessee's banner and it championship banner or whatever.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
To say about somebody that actually did play but then
had it vacated, like Kentucky's football season where they had
ten wins. Yeah, we saw the games they played them.
But then if we're going to keep that same mentality
you know about Louisville, we got to keep that about
Kentucky football because we all said, well, Kentucky or Louisville
basketball didn't win it in twenty thirteen, it was vacated. Well,
(40:37):
then we had to vacate the ten win season for
football if we're going to keep that same energy.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Yeah, you know, Louisville fans should be furious on the
ruling of Michigan, the fact that there was no vacated winns,
the national title was not stripped. I mean, if anybody
has a right to be mad, I think it's Louisville fans.
I mean, if if I was them, I would raise
the banner again and just I mean, why would you
recognize the NCAA's authority on anything nowadays? It's that's why
you don't self impose penalties either. But that's why you
(41:06):
don't work with them. What you gotta do about it?
Come to come, take it, Take it hey. Promo code
