Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everyone. It is the KSR pre Show.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's Friday, September the twelfth, and we are live at
Clark's Puppet Shop. Give us a call on the Clark's
Pumping Shop full line at eight five to nine two
eight oh twenty two eighty seven. It could be our
Whiskey Thief Call of the Day and the KSR pre
Show as always being brought to you by Italics Fine
Italian Dining in Lexington. We're at the Clark's Pumping Shop
at one hundred Bethel Harvest Road in Nicholasville, Kentucky, and
(00:25):
we're gonna be here till noon today with KSR. We've
got some I believe like some Eric Church sunglasses that
we're giving away for a promotion that he's gonna be
coming a Rapperina on October third.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Ok.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
And we got some deviled eggs here that somebody's already
brought out. Three bird brought from deviled eggs. We got
a lot going on here at Clark's Pupping Shop eight
five nine two eighth twenty two eighty seven. So here's
what we got. Matt is out today. He's gonna be
taken off for South Africa and Billy is apparently going
to be at a wedding for the next week. I
didn't know that it took a week to do a wedding.
(00:59):
But he's not gonna be here today, So filling in
pin hitting coming in here at the very last moment,
about two minutes before the show got going, Ryan Lemon
is here.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, it is happy that you made it. Ryan, good morning. Yeah.
I got caught into a little Leestown middle school traffic
this morning. I thought, oh, I'm gonna be pushing it
to get here. But you know, you break a few
traffic laws down road. No, no, don't say that. We're
live on the radio. You're a spokesman for the Kentucky
Department of Highlight Trapty. Yeah, you can't be getting on
the air and that's saying you broke traffic laws. You
don't do that. You're a perfect driver. Remember that's try.
(01:28):
I buckled up, I put my phone down, I obade
every traffic law to get down Nicholasville Road in about
two minutes. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Then we'll talk about Kentucky Eastern Michigan a little bit
later on the show. Bourbon and Beyond. Day number one
happened yesterday, Day two today we'll get into that. But
some breaking news at this hour. They the FBI has
reported that they believe they have the shooter, the basically
the guy who murdered Charlie Kirk in custody. Hours after
(01:56):
the video of a man believed to be the shooter
was released, Trump says that he thinks, with a high
degree of certainty, they have the guy who did it.
So nine thirty there's going to be a live FBI
press conference, and I don't know if we'll dip in
with that or not, but you can always get that
over on our sister station six thirty WLAP and eight
(02:16):
forty WHAS. But at least good news. It looks like
they have found the guy who murdered Charlie Kirk. Just
a couple of days ago, I guess, just to just
about an hour ago, President Trump made that announcement that
with a high degree of certainty, we have the assassin.
So it's kind of been blown up since then. I think,
you know, it's kind of captivated those of the country.
You know, for this this guy, this young man to be.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Shot down and giving a speech from college kids, it
kind of affects all of us. So hopefully they've got
the guy, the right guy, and he'll be let justice
do its course.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
So we will update you on that as we go
throughout the show if there is an update to give
you until the end. We are here at Clark's Popping
Shop and there's one of those Elon Musk cars right there.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Look at those?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, that is would you like one of those? It's
like it looks like a car out of Grand Theft Auto?
You ever played that on on PS two back?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Definitely, yeah, it does looks like it looks like something
you'd seen in a movie where it's I got machine
guns that come out of it and lasers and probably
flies swims flies. Yeah, that one of those tinpe of shoes,
one of those type of cars. Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
So we are here, like I said, Clark's Pupping Shop.
Come on by here today and there's no bigger UK
fans the Clark's Pumping Shops. So don't commit at the
party foul this football season. Get to tailgating at or
get your tailgate ready at Clark's Pupping Shop. They have
everything you need. They've got perfectly cajun crispy crunchy chicken.
How about that for some alliteration. The Hangar fifty four, pizza,
the chips, snacks, bottled water, ice, and of course beer.
(03:39):
What is your favorite road trip snack if you're stopping
at it at.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Clark's without a doubt. I know we've had discussion before. Yeah,
the oat milk cream Little Debbie oatmeal cream pie like that,
and then they get the double decker even better. That's
that's the favorite go to for sure. What about you,
you're a little Debbie guy. Oh, well, out of doubt,
just the old oatmeal cream pie. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I don't usually get something that's like that filling if
I'm trying to get a snack, but usually it's like
some Migi beef jerky, big mingy beef jerky guy. I
don't know how I don't have a Migi beef jerkey endorsement. Yeah,
as much as I talk about him, but beef jerky usually.
You know, I'm not a coke guy either, really, so
maybe a coffee, like when I was taking my road
trip to Florida, a lot of coffee, a lot of
(04:21):
beef jerky, and I don't know, like just stuff like that,
like maybe some some chips or something, maybe like some
dorridos and that's about it. That suits me for a
good ten hour trip.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
And we both we all know exactly what Matt gets
on his road trip. Snacks gets a Dike Coke, Skittles yep,
maybe some starburs clusters, No one of all the shirgles
cluster things, what they're called. That's it, nerd gummy cluster,
Nerd gummy clusters, Skittles, and a Diet Coke he set
for the heart for the trip.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
So today during the show, Ryan, you can enter the
touchdown dance competition. We're gonna be judging it, says, We
will be judging who has the best touchdown dance and
the three best we'll get a twenty five dollars gas
card here from Clark's Pumping Shop. How about that when
we're doing this and can we participate? You can do
one right now if you want to. You for everybody there,
you go.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
That's my running man. That's the running man running Man.
Now if I score ever score touchdown, that's what I
would go to. The running Man running Man.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay, Well, I mean I think that's I don't know,
is that out of date? I feel like that that's
been around for of course not at least fifty years.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Well, the elite of the lead and still do it.
So that's why I still do it.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yesterday I was at Bourbon and Beyond Fest. I missed
you out there. I don't know why you didn't come
to Bourbon and Beyond. It's a lot of fun out there.
We got to see Collective Soul played out there.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
The headliner last night, well, they were.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
On the revival stage because they've got kind of like
off to the back. They've got like it's called the
revival stage for a reason. I think it's people who
are trying to revive their career, huh. But it's bands that,
you know, we're maybe big in the nineties and maybe
long forgotten or you know, just bands that aren't as
popular anymore. And they closed out that one, that stage
in the back. Then they had Pat Benattar there last night.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Oh see, that was my high school heyday, right when
she was pretty popular.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
The Lumineers were there. I don't know if you even
know who they are. They that's it, okay, all right?
But my biggest takeaway from day one out there was
the prices of alcohol.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Oh my.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
And look, maybe somebody can tell me if I'm wrong
or not, but I feel like fourteen dollars for a
beer is outrageous. Like you know, when you went to
the Kentucky State Fair, beer was eight nine dollars something
like that. One beer fourteen bucks.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
If you wanted a white Claw it was sixteen bucks.
And if you want it, like I think it was
like another kind of craft beer that they had out there,
it was twenty dollars for a beer. At Bourbon and
Beyond Fest. Plus you're throwing forty dollars to park and
tim and tickets alone were not cheap. So I mean,
by the time you get a couple of tickets, you park,
(06:52):
and forty dollars parking is per day, by the way,
So if you go for all four days times that before, Wow,
that's how much is going to cost just to park
there each day. And then if you're going to drink,
I mean that that's a good way to have people
come in and only drink one or two. You don't
have to worry about anybody being overserved out there, because I mean,
who could afford it with those prices. But I think
(07:12):
like at Churchill Downs during the Kentucky Derby, met gelibis
were like seventeen or eighteen bucks. But maybe that's maybe
that's not par I don't know. Like if you go
to a Clark's pumping shop, you go in here right now,
and you get let's say, a six pack of bud Light.
I don't drink a whole lot of bud Light, but
what would that be like eight nine dollars dollars probably okay.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
So a little over a dollar a beer.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
And then you go there and they're charging you a
fifteen my goodness, fourteen fifteen dollars for one beer.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I don't know. It feels like it's a little bit
of greed. Well, they got you. You're kind of trapped there,
right you know, you go to a concert, you're outside,
it's hot, you've a lot of a lot of people
want to have a beer. So you're gonna go spend
that money just because you want that. And you said,
like yesterday like twenty to thirty thousand.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
People, Oh no, no more than that, And you think
most of those people probably do get a white Cloll
or a bud Light or something fifty to sixty thousand.
I think it's what it is each day.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Goodness.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
So that's a lot of money coming in, and look,
it's great for the city of louell I love it.
I'm gonna why they do it. Yeah, I'll be out there,
like I said, for all eight out of eleven days
with Louder than Life next week. But my goodness, like you,
you better come with some money if you're gonna be
doing anything other than just standing there and watching bands,
because it is not cheap.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Well, as you said, that's why Louisville does this, because
it's a big money maker for the city of Louisville.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, so all right, So that was that was day one.
Let's go through real quick here and see if you
know any of the bands from day day two. I'm
gonna give you the line up here, not all the bands,
but just sell them here. Do you know who switch
Foot is?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Never heard of him? Never heard of them?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Okay, do you know who Guster is?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Guster he's our noseguard, Dave Gusta.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
No, No, that's not him. Joe Bonamassa do you know
that name? It seems like I've heard that name for
some reason, but you don't know him.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
No.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Hes sings like a really great like one of the
best guitarists on the plays of guitar. Yeah. Uh, Kobe Kelly.
He sings the song on the bubbles? Is that the song?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Do you not know that one? I thought she was
like a five star point guard Back in the day,
Gavin de Grau heard of him. He was married to
uh the No Doubt girl.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
No No, no, whinch to final No No, you're thinking
about the singer. You're thinking about Gavin Rosdale from Bush Okay, Yes,
and then Gavin And then the headlining band is Fish
tonight and you said they played for like three hours.
They've got three hours and I don't know one song,
which brought me to the thought of, Okay, is there
a band out there that is more well known but
(09:34):
nobody like most people don't even know one song about
the band? Like for me, I think the answer is fifish.
I'm trying to think of another band that, like, I
know who they are, but I can't tell you one
song they sing like even like you know it's kind
of like a grateful dead thing.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
But you kind of know a couple of those songs,
touch agree. I can tell you there's one, Yeah, But like,
is there another band that is is that popular, that
well known? And then you know people know they exist,
but I can't tell you one song. I don't know
if you have other ones eight five, nine, two, eight oh,
twenty two, eighty seven, or on Twitter at Shannon the
Dude and at Ryan Lemon. All Right, so Kentucky Eastern
(10:09):
Michigan tomorrow, it's a seven thirty kickoff.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's gonna be on ESPN. You we're two games into
the season, Ryan, what is you think like the overall
vibe so far for what we've seen in these first
two games?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
You know, you beat Toledo.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
There was a lot of fans that thought maybe that
was going to be a struggle going into the game.
You lose to Old Miss, but you're in the game,
you know you only lose by one score. So going
into week three, what do you think is the overall
vibe of the fans? And then what is your read
on what we've seen so far? Has it changed anything
on your opinion from what we had going into the
(10:46):
season Going into week three.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I think most people, including myself, had them beating Toledo,
but then had them losing to Old Miss. Right, So,
after to answer your question, the first two games, I
don't feel any more optimistic about this team. Yea, I
don't feel any more negative about this team now. The
disaster that happened in the first half, the coaching, the
clock management, to play calling, the execution, stuff like that,
(11:08):
that's got most fans for That's what they're frustrated about.
I think necessarily the teams play. You know, the team was,
you know, one touchdown game of beating on Miss yep,
you know you're gonna probably blow out Eastern Michigan. So
I think it's really not the play on the field.
I think it's the stuff that all happened off the
field that kind of has the fan base so frustrated
right now about this team.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
It isn't that something that we've been talking about for years.
Is the clock management, the just sort of sloppiness on
the field, not being organized, not having to play in
and having to call a time out that happened twice
in the first quarter last game against Old Miss, And
I think that's more the frustration as far as like
the talent on the field. I mean, look, Calzada has
(11:48):
been a struggle, but I mean that situation may have
worked itself out with the injury. What to see what
what coder Bolie does tomorrow. But other than Calzada, I
feel actually really confident about what I've seen talent out
of this team. But you know, again, you factor in
that Kentucky was only just one score away from tying
(12:08):
possibly beating Old Miss, and it comes down to just
organizational issues. If they can somehow figure that out, and
all things consider, you're still playing close to Old Miss.
That gives me actually more optimism for the season moving ahead.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I really think we've got a running game that can
run against SEC defenses. I think our offensive line is
an SEC line, and I think we've got SEC caliber back.
I think our running game is can run the ball
in the SEC. I think we've got an SEC caliber defense.
I'll stack our defense up against anybody, you know. I
think they can do the job. So yeah, so the talent,
(12:43):
I agree with you, is there. It's just we've seen
nothing from the passing game, you know, no passing touchdowns yet.
I mean, I know we've got a small sample size
right eight quarters, but no passing touchdowns yet because they're
going to hand the rings rains over the cutter, see
if he can get that jump started. But you're right out.
I mean, if you just at our defense, our running game,
you'd think, okay, they can compete against some teams in
(13:04):
the SEC.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Do you think that the issue with the passing game
is I mean, does it go entirely on Caluzada or
the receivers to blame? Do you think it's a little
bit of all the above when it comes to the
struggles for the passing game.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
In the first two games, I I deferred of guys
that know a lot more about me, and they say,
in the first game against Toledo, our receivers having a
hard time getting open. Well, we heard before the game, though,
that Toledo had like some NFL type corners cover guys,
so maybe that they were legit and we had trouble
getting open. Second game, you know, you hear people say, well,
(13:38):
Calzada had some guys open, he just didn't get him
the ball. So to answer your question, I think it's
maybe a little of both. After the first two games,
that's why you got to go to Cutters see if
what he can do. I think, so.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Billy and I had this debate, like what happens if
what I would expect to happen tomorrow, Kentucky comes out,
they win, big, Cutter Bowley looks great. Then you go
into the South Carolina game. What if you have a
situation where Cutter Bully maybe doesn't look all that great.
You got Kalizada now held up. You have to pick
one or the other. I don't think he can do
this back and forth. Let's play one guy one game,
(14:08):
you know, Cutter the next, Kalasada the next game.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I think you have to stick to one or the other.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
But I feel like this is a likely scenario that
Mark Stoops is going to find himself in when we
get to the South Carolina or maybe the game's past
South Carolina, like the second half of the season, where
you've got Kalasada who's maybe held up for that injury,
Cutter Bowlie's looking good. You got to pick one or
the other. I don't know, Like if your Stoops, what
do you do? Do you go with the guy that
you spend all the nil money on who was brought
(14:35):
into beer Starter, or do you go with the guy
who you're calling the quarterback of your future? Because I
can see this being a likely scenario that plays out.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I mean, that's why he gets what nine mini year
right to make these tough decisions, because you're right, that's
a very likely scenario. But if you've seen what you're
going to be able to get out of Calzada. Why
wouldn't you just go with Cutter? If he's your quarterback
for the future, why not just good ride with him,
let him go through some growing pains, let him have
some rough But if that's if we if we've seen
(15:03):
what Calzada is gonna bring you, I just don't see
how that's a better argument than just going with Cutter
and let him flying with him.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
And I'll also ask you what I was asking, Billy.
I want to get your take on this. Is it
fair though? To compare what Cutter does against Eastern Michigan
to what Calazada did against the top twenty team in
Old miss and a good Toledo team.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Fair question? And you know he could light it up tomorrow.
He could have a couple hundred yards passing, throw a
couple of touchdown. Does that mean anything because of anything?
Because they're so poor, there's such a number a good
football team. That's why I think you're right. The true
test will come when you go on the road at
South Carolina that next game, because then after that is
what Georgia, Texas, Florida, Tennessee. I mean, they just load
up after that.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
So do you feel like the job now is Cutters
to lose if he starts tomorrow, which I mean I
think he's gonna start.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, it's pretty much. I don't They won't come out
and set it, but they've kind of come out right right.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
So let's say Cutter has a great game tomorrow. Is
the QB one job his to lose? Just I think
it is. I mean, I like that was my argument.
I think why not just run with you and he's
your quarterback for the future.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
If he's giving you exactly what you're getting from cal Zona,
I don't care if you spend on that money on him.
You think you got to go for your future and
go with Cutter? All right?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Eight five nine two ah, twenty two eighty seven. We'll
take your opinion, your call, give us a call on
the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line. That's where we're at today.

your back goal. It was a It was a coozy
with a station on it, station logo on it. And
(16:55):
the guy showed up like ten minutes before I was
about to leave and was so upset that I didn't
have any more coozies. He was legit about to get
into a fight with me over at koozie and I'm

I think, you know, Matt was asking me yesterday what
I think success is for this game tomorrow. I think
it's cover. So what would you say a success for
Kentucky tomorrow just win the game? Or is there a
certain point margin that you think they need to win
by to call it a success.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I think there's gonna be a level of excitement tomorrow
for the game because it's Cutter's debut. So I think
that'll kind of lead to the fact that and then
if they go out and can light up the scoreboard,
put up forty points, beat them bury this team, I
think that's I think a lot of fans will walk
away from that stadium feeling good or better at least
about what they saw on about the program.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
All right, let's do some over runners attendance forty five thousand.
I think they'll be over over. It won't be full.
What's Kroger hold sixty one? Right, sixty one or sixty two,
something like that. So you think it'll be over forty five?
Speaker 3 (18:50):
I do.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
And I think because it's a Hall of Fame weekend,
it's Veterans weekend, they easily brings a pretty good crowd
to first night game at Kroger Field. It's Cutter's debut, yea,
So I'm still hopeful there'll be a good crowd.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Cutter Bowley touchdowns. I'm gonna put it at one and
a half over or under.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
That's a great number. That's a great number, and I
was thinking too, so I'll go over. Actually, I think
I think he's gonna throw for a couple of touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Cutter Bowley passing yards over under one fifty over.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I think I think they're gonna let him rip it.
We even Stevens he said it this week, bish Handam
said it this week. We're gonna let him rip it.
So all right?
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
And then you know I was telling you yesterday the
stat that Eastern Michigan has given up over six hundred
yards so far this season in just two games, so
over under rushing yards as a team, two hundred and
twenty five.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
That's a that's another great number because I think that's
what we got against Toledo, like right at two hundred
and twenty five rushing yards. I think they want to
let color Cutter rip it. But I think though they
once they do run it, Eastern Michigan won't be able
to stop these tw guys.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I would think that maybe they're gonna let Cutter throw
a lot in the first half. I would hope at
halftime that Kentucky has a comfortable lead and then and
I think it's going to be limited passing. I think
there's gonna be a lot of uh you know, a
lot of a lot of rushing and just let them
ground and pound. And that's that's stoops game anyway, right.
I mean, the fact that they give up that many
rushing yards kind of plays into what Stoopes likes to
(20:13):
do offensively to begin with.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah, and you've got two studs back there, and maybe
we can see Patterson in this game. Get him some
touches and get him running a little bit. So yeah,
they I think they'll be if and when they decide
to run, they'll have great success.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Hey Top nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. Who's
up first?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Liam, Mike and Lexington. Hey Mike, what's going on? How
are you.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Very good? Thanks? Hello?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Ryan? How are you doing good?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Mike?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
All right good. I'm one of the few people probably
that you'll talk to who've seen Guzana in person. Probably
uh we we My son was stationed in San Antonio
and we were there one day last year and we
won two a football game and the carnet word and
watched him play. And I'll tell you the big difference. Honestly,
(21:01):
I know a little bit about quarterbacks, and I does
coach don't one of one of the And I've seen
Cotter Bowley play too, obviously when he was at Lexi kemper.
The the thing about UH Galzada was he had a
receiver who was very fast and would get open all
(21:23):
over the field. He also had another another receiver, a
bigger guy that they threw to underneath and so on.
And the biggest thing to me, I didn't see. I
just haven't seen these receivers getting open. Now, whether that's
the receiver, whether that's the play call, whether it's just
the system he's in. I noticed that UH that the
(21:45):
UH against Prairie View back in San Antonio. They ran
a fast offense. They were on the line of scrimmage
pretty quickly and the pace was so much faster. So
I I don't know whether any of those things have
a lot to do with it, but that's what I've seen.
I still think that he's a good quarterback, that he's
(22:09):
the injury is gonna flow him down. But as far
as Cutter Bully goes, he's bigger, he's taller, he can
see the field, and he's used for the system, So yeah,
he may be more success all.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Right, Mike, we appreciate it. Thank you for the phone call.
Maybe there is something to the slow offense that is
leading to the receivers not being open.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Mike knows football, is a long time football coach, so
you believe what he says.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
We got to take a break. We are live here
at Clark's Pupping Shop and Nicholasville. Come on out and
see us. It is the KSR apprecial. All right, we're back.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
We're live.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Clark's Pupping Shop out here in Nicholasville Road. This is
the new location, right, Is this the newest location.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
That I believe this is the newest location. Yes, it's
this whole area's nudes right for those who are looking
for us. Everybody knows the new lung John Silvers. We're
just like two doors down from the new Long John
Silvers here on Nicholas Field.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
So I've heard so much. This is the law the
Long Johnson that says we've been talking about.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
That's the one right there where the line was out
on the street trying to get in when they opened up.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
So I didn't realize that Long John Silvers was still
that popular. I felt like that was something that existed
when I was a kid and my grandparents used to
go to it. But I didn't realize that Long John
Silvers was so popular that people would be lined up
out the door just to get it. I mean, is
it frozen fish?
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I don't know. It was a madhouse when they open.
I know that. But you'll be the same way when
they reopen chee Cheese. You'll be standing in line open
go to chi Cheesey kidding me. See people feel the
same way maybe about Long John Silotory. Hold on a minute,
that is blasphemy. Don't even try to compare Long John
Silvers the chee Cheese. Chee Cheese is the greatest establishment
that ever existed. And you're trying to tell me that
Long John Silvers should be mentioned in the same breath
(23:40):
as chee Cheese.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yes, I think they're opening one in Minnesota later on
this year, and I am you may fly up there
to go. I am highly considering going there. And my
problem with it is, you know, there's so many Mexican
restaurants now that exist. Like back in the nineties, I
felt like there was really just tumbleweed in chee cheese. Yeah,
(24:02):
and now you have like all these other you know,
really good. A lot of them family owned Mexican restaurants
that pop up in small towns, and I'm worried that
Chee Cheese is going to come back and it's not
going to be as good as I remembered. Yeah, you know,
like something goes away in your mind, you always build
it up to you better than what it was, and
then you go there and you go, yeah, this is underwhelming.
(24:23):
Like you know, I could go to a place in
my hometown and it'd be just as good as this.
So that's my concern, and I have not a lot
of you, so many people of you. So many people
have sent me the link where you can invest in
chichch Cheese. I haven't done it yet because you know,
I'm investing in another bar called kas Bar and Girl,
so but I don't think I'm going to invest in that.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
But we had a good crowd there last night to
watch your packers. Oh, the commanders.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Let's talk about the packers for a minute. I mean,
should we just go ahead and give them the Super
Bowl ring?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Now?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Oh? Look great?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Last, of course, Jordan Love throws for over two hundred yards.
Of course I didn't meet it. When I didn't better
on Dwards because I was at Bourbon and beyond us,
they look really good. They beat the Lions, who I
thought was going to be a team that would compete
for the Super Bowl this year. They blew them out
in the first game. They beat Washington last night. They
got the Browns coming up, they got the Bengals. They're
going to crush those two teams. So I'm just saying
(25:14):
the Packers may be making a good, good run here
in the playoffs this year.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I'll gave you that because the Lions and the Commanders
are two teams that you know, went a long way
in the playoffs last year, two good teams, and the
Packers kind of made them look bad in both games.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
All right, So we had free Bird who brought out
deviled eggs enough food, and I think this is the
earliest that I've ever eaten deviled eggs before for breakfasted
eggs for breaks. Deviled eggs are one of those things
that I as a kid could not stand. I would,
you know, every time I would go over for Thanksgiving
or Christmas to my grandparents' house, they would always have
doubled eggs, and I was like, that looks disgusting. But
(25:47):
when we went to the SEC tournament in Tampa, and
we stayed at your parents' house yep. And we came
home from a night a party in Yes, and I
opened up the refrigerator and the only thing that was
in there were your mom's doubled eggs fresh. I go, man,
I hate doubled eggs, but I am starving. You ever
get to the point like where you have something that
that's the only thing that you have to eat? Oh, yeah,
(26:07):
you hate, you don't like the thing, but you're just
gonna eat it hungry. Well that was that night for me,
And that was the night that I became a doubled
eggs fan.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
So now we have freebirds doubled eggs here, and he's
got what is that some kind of bourbon jam on there,
Halipino bourbon jam. I think it is from mister eggs
and mister eggs or mister eggs.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
That that's ed. Yeah, put it on the eggs to
call them mister egg, mister egg and it's yeah, I'm
gonna tell you it's really good. The deviled eggs are good,
but that holopeno bourbon jelly stuff is like phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
So what do you put what is that it's like
mayonnaise that you put inside the egg, Like I don't
even like what is that stuff?
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
You you the the what the yellow of the egg
you mix it with like paprika and garlic and mayonnaise.
No mustard, mustard ruins it. Don't put mustard in it.
You're you're your team. No mustard, no absolutely yeah, but uh, freebird,
these are good. But he did a good job.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
So the Little Basketball News, Big Blue Madness is gonna
be on a Saturday this year, Saturday, October eleventh. Ticket
information still coming out, but this is gonna be our
first look at the team. Do you do you care
one way or the other if it's on a Friday
or a Saturday. I think moving it to a Saturday
is fine. It makes sense for me. You know, Saturdays
usually when people have the entire day they're not you know,
(27:23):
in some cases, having to go to work all day
and then go to Big Blue Madness later on that night.
I kind of like to move to a Saturday.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
And Kentucky Football's off that day. It's a bye week
for the football team, so it's perfect. I'm kind of
glad they did put it on a Saturday night instead.
Of a Friday night compete with high school football and
the other things that happened on Friday night. Football is
not playing on Saturday. Doo midnight Madness on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I saw some people suggesting maybe that Rick Patino should
come back, and I'm going, didn't we already do that?
If you bring them back one time, okay, that's special,
or if you bring him back for a game, you know,
like we're doing this year. He's not gonna be a
rough but you know, to have the game against Patino.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I don't think that you need to bring back Rick
Patino every time you have a big Blue Madness.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
We did that last year.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
It was a cool moment for a lot of fans,
except for Marsha, who I'm sure was rolling her eyes.
But you know, I don't think you need to do
that again, like once you brought him in last year.
No need to bring him back again. Would you agree
with that? Or do you think we need to bring
back Rick again?
Speaker 3 (28:16):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
No, I mean he is coaching a team that we're
gonna play later this season. You know, he's still gonna
be trying to beat us, wants to beat us, and
we play them in December c Yeah, he did his thing,
he's backing good graces with us, Let's don't overdo it.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
I'm always wondering, like, I guess maybe there's not a
lot of hardcore Saint John's fans out there, but it
feels like Rick Patino still takes a lot of interest
in Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
And if I'm a Saint John's fan, like, why are
you flirting with her? Like you're with me now? Why
are you flirting with your your your ex? And that's
kind of always felt like what it has been the
last couple of years with well, I guess the last
year with Patino since Pope took over at Kentucky that
he has, you know, a lot of a lot of affection.
I feel like still for Kentucky to get back in
our good graces, which I feel like he's done for
(29:02):
most fans.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
And so since we're talking about this, John Calip Perry
yesterday posted a picture of him holding a John Wall
article and like he's saying, you know, my thinking about
the good old days or whatever. If I'm an Arkansas fan,
I'm mad. I'm like, why are you still hanging on
to your UKD? You with us? Now.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
But I feel like John cali Perry feels like, you know,
those were his like his guys versus his school. Yeah,
you know what I mean, he looks at that way.
I think that's one thing I'm glad that they did
when Pope came in. They took down, you know, all
the stuff that was just about the NBA players, right
and made it more about the University of program exactly,
because I felt like when you would walk in and
(29:41):
they would have all the players that went to the
NBA that were under John Caliperry, it was almost like, hey,
look at me, Look what I've done as a coach,
gotten all these guys into the NBA, versus not making
it about what.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
The program is. Yeah, where was Tayshawn Prince? Where was
Jamal Mashburn? Where was Chapman? That stuff was nowhere to
be seen because he wanted just his guys up there
all right.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Hesitate to go to the phones because I think we've
got Kentucky Joe up next, and Joe, we've already got
a song from you, so we don't need another song.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
But uh, I think he's cutter song as a top
ten hit. Well, I mean it was. It was a
song of all songs.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Joe, how are good morning?
Speaker 3 (30:16):
I'm doing all right. I'm a little under the weather,
allergies and stuff. But hey, i'll tell you excuse me,
those uh those devil eggs sound good?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Well they are, but you can't have any.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
You could save something for me, all right, Joe.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Yeah, let's let's get down to it. What do you
got Wait a minute, we'll wait on you, Joe, anytime
you're ready.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Joe, Wait, Wayne, Wayne, blamement, blame it.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yo, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
We'll wait.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Wait as long as you want.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Appreciate the colleg Joe. All right, thank you, Joe, appreciate it.
You can hang up on a lamb A five nine
twenty two eighties old Kentucky. Joe, we're still waiting for
somebody to come out and do their first touchdown dance.
We got some people here. Yeah, you can do a
touchdown dance. Karen'll do one for a chance to win
a twenty five dollars gas card. No, you're not gonna
do a touchdown dance for Maddy.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Karen. One of you guys want to do twenty five
dollars gift card for gas? It's pretty good for Clark's
Pumping Job they pump Shop?
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Is that the greatest nil commercial that we've had so
far from a UK player?
Speaker 1 (31:23):
We need to play that on KSR. We get it.
Can you dig that up and have Liam play it?
We got to play it again. I feel like that's
the best one.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
It is.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
But if we're being honest, what do we have that
to compare it to?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I guess we have Reed Shepherd and Rob Dillingham and
their Donados which is really baddos and Io commercial where
they're wearing like plain white T shirts so they look
like they're inside of an elevator being held hostage. So
we have that to compare it to. But I like
the Clark's Pumping Shop so on. I thought it was catchy.
Well you you're one of a few you didn't like it.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
It was awful. I thought it was good pump and shop.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
So I gotta ask you about this because according to
a new study, are you a happy guy?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Ryan?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
You seem like a happy I'm very happy guy. According
to a new study from wallet hub, they put together
the happiest states in America. Okay, one through fifty. All right,
you want to say a guest where Kentucky ranks.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I'm gonna say Kentucky ranks close to the bottom.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
You're right, Kentucky all the way down at number forty
three on the list. They ranked this by they say
emotional and physical well being, work, environment, community and environment.
I'm not sure what the difference is between well, I
guess just community in general. But Kentucky all the way
down at number forty three. I was kind of surprised
to see that. I feel like most people in Kentucky
(32:37):
are happy.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, because people outside of Kentucky, they think rural areas,
those people have to be sad, depressed, not happy people.
You can live in a rural area and still be
a live a very happy line.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
You want to take a guess at what the happiest
state is?
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Uh, California. No Colorado because of the marijuana laws. No,
California was number seven. Colorado.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
I don't even see them, see I. They're a little
further down Florida. Florida is not in the top ten.
So what's number one?
Speaker 1 (33:10):
All right?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
I'll give you the top five here. Number five is Connecticut?
Speaker 1 (33:13):
All right?
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Number four? New Jersey? What number three? I don't believe
of this one? Nebraska? Who in the world could be
happy in Nebraska. It's a nothing but corn. I feel like,
you know, what's the quote that Matt always said, that's
corn and sadness. I feel like that's true with Nebraska.
But their ranked number three on this list. Number two
is Maryland and number one Hawaii. I've never seen anybody sad.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
True, That's very true, tend the Mianks. Some people in
the Northeast may just made this poll though it was.
Maryland and Connecticut are up there in the top five.
Maybe so.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
We're still waiting to get an update on the from
the FBI on the Charlie Kirk shooter situation, which we
talked about in the first segment. If we have an
update on that, we'll get it to you. Eight five,
nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. We'll live out
here at Clark's Popping Shopping and stop by you can
grab some Clark sunglasses for your chance to win a
of tickets to see Eric Church. He's coming into Rapperena
on October third. You can also get a free small
(34:05):
cup of coffee or a fountain drink during the show.
So if you come in during the show while we're
here till noon, you can get a like I said,
a free cup of coffee or a fountain drink, and
everyone that stops by to fill up their tanks and
we'll get ten cents off per gallon.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Did you know that that's a great deal man.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I gotta fill up the station vehicle, so I'm gonna
say iHeart ten cents a gallon.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I'm filling up before I leave here today too, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
All right, we're gonna fill up our belly with some
more of these deviled eggs during the break. We'll take
your calls. Coming up next eight bob nine two eight
oh twenty two eighty seven. It is the ksrpre shiow.
Come on, Ryan, you don't like that well sing along?
Pump I Shop? Come on, pump I Shop. You don't
like a pump and shop?
Speaker 1 (34:43):
There you go, there it is.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
I'm just saying, that's good stuff. Welcome back. We are
alive here at Clark's Popping Shop at Nicholasville and at
the one hundred Bethel Harvest Road. Come on by here
and see us. Could be hanging out until noon today.
I saw for the first time yesterday somebody tweeted me
a picture of Shannon the dude's brew out in the wild.
It's now nice trickling out in Kroger stores?
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Is it? So you can uh it is? It is
a store. I know it. It's been coming up. It's happened. Yep.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
I've had people, you know, like in Mount Washington going
up there and checking every day, like, hey, where's it at.
You know, they said September that thing is, though they
didn't tell it was a win in September, so it
could have been September first, it could be September thirtieth.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
But but it's there. But look for it tonight in
your Kroger stores.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Cool seventy different Kroger stores throughout the state of cond
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
That's really cool.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I look for it when you get there, all right.
So you know I was talking about in the first segment,
the price is a beer. A lot of people seem
to agree with me. Some people are telling me to
shut up because those are actually cheap prices compared to
other places they've been I don't know, man, fourteen dollars
a beer feels like I don't want to call it
price gouging, but it feels like it's a little steep
to grab it.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
But you said that. You know, went to the Reds
game earlier this summer a couple weeks ago, and it
was saying fourteen fifteen dollars for a beer there, So
I guess maybe that's just the going price now for
at a stadium or an event.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Right coming up, at what ten thirty today, we're gonna
have a couple of volleyball players with US eleven eleven, okay,
eleven today? Do you know the names of the volleyball
players are going to be interviewing today?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Brooklyn Delay, Yes, and Molly. I think her last name
is pronounced.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Tazzo, Tuzzozo, Tuzzo.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Molly tzz She's the Libiro there you go, li Buro.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Do you know what that means? Liberobert? Do you know
what that means?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
She's like the defensive specialist show comes in and she
wears a different colored jersey.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Okay, well, we're all counting on you. I don't want
to I don't want you to embarrass this all here, Dude.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
What did Might call Mike? What did Matt call him?
He called him a spiker and a Laredo, That's right,
I guess what he called him.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
So they're gonna be here with this coming up later
on today, I wanted to ask you about this story.
This is I think about a week old. Did you
see the Florida sheriff who busted a drug dealer and
wore his fifty thousand dollars gold chain at the press
conference announced that they busted him. I mean, first of all,
that is so Florida, is it not? It is Florida
(36:58):
to have the sheriff bust a drug dealer and then
wear his bling up at the press conference. Imagine you're
the drug dealer who just got popped. Number one, you're
in jail, and then number two, you got the sheriff
up there just flawning it in your face.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Look at my gold that I'm wearing.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
It was a big fat gold chain, as you can
imagine for fifty thousand being worth fifty thousand dollars. I
don't know, man, This guy, I think has become my
favorite Florida sheriff, not that I know any other Florida sheriffs,
but I did get a kick kind of watching the
video of the guy.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
You're the guy that I knew you were gonna love
that guy. That's just Bainally, you know, that's wrestlers at
its best right there, throwing it in your face.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
I mean, I'm just saying like if I were in
theory ever to be a sheriff, and you would not
want me to be a police officer, But if I were,
that's the kind of thing that I would probably do.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Just go up there and you know where the guy
you bust it, where his stuff where his bling to
the press conference.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Ryan, you know that I still constantly get foreign money
sent to my house as long it's this been going on.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
This has been going on now for about.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Five years since COVID, and I got this long letter
here that I thought maybe I would read because this
is this is kind of a cool letter that somebody
sent me, right, this was from somebody in Colorado, and
they start off, dear mister Grigsby. I hope that I
have found the correct address of the right mister Shannon Grigsby.
There's not many of us out there, so I don't
(38:19):
think it's too hard to narrow it down. Said, I've
heard bits of your radio show. It was my husband
who became an avid listener. I didn't know how he
came to listen to your show, as we do not
have any connections to Kentucky, no family and no friends there.
We do enjoy watching the Kentucky Derby, though my husband
Richard worked in marketing his entire working life. The reason
for the enclosed venezuela, I don't know how you say
(38:41):
their currency? Is it beliver is sure?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Whatever it is the reason for the money and closed
is that he had a three month assignment five years
ago with an oil company there or the longest time
apart mister Grigsby. I lost my husband, Richard eighteen months ago,
oh no, short after he retired. Going through his things,
I found this and others he had brought back. I
heard him once say that your listeners send you currencies
(39:07):
from all over the world, and he said he was
going to send you send that to you one of
these days. We have five young grandkids, and I've given
each one of them bills of smaller denomination. The ten
thousand whatever this bill is called I'm sending you is
worth about seventy US dollars. My grandkids would either tear
it up or lose it. I want to send it
(39:30):
to you on behalf of Richard, for all that, for
the entertainment that you provide it. He certainly received more
than seventy dollars of entertainment from listening to you boys
on behalf of him. I want to thank you for
the craziness you all bring to the airwaves. And I
really wish I knew how he found you guys in
the first place. I know how to dale you your
show up, and we'll do it in remembrance of my husband.
(39:52):
It just won't be as often necessarily Helene Hol's claw.
So I thought that was a really cool, awesome, really cool,
that's beautiful. You know, a lot of times I get,
you know, goofy letters that come along with it, that
one right there, I thought was really cool.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
And that kind of means a lot, I think, to
all of us to know that they don't have they
I don't have any connection to UK, I mean connection
to us at all. Yet they're listening in Colorado and
get some enjoyment out of.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
It's just a reminder of how much of a reach
this show has. You know, we think that it's just
our fan base here in Kentucky and Big Blue Nation
of course, is a huge fan base. But you know,
for somebody that didn't even have any connection whatsoever, to
Kentucky and she doesn't even know how he found us
to begin with. Kind of a cool letter. I wanted
to share that with it very cool. I also want
to let you know that on Draft Kings sports Book
(40:36):
you can sign up with promo code KSR bet five dollars,
get two hundred dollars in bonus bet. You can also
get two hundred dollars off of the NFL Sunday ticket.
On YouTube and YouTube TV, you can do live betting,
same game player props. It's all there for you. You
get fast and easy payouts with the Draft Kings Sportsbook.
The crown is yours, all right, So I don't know,
do we want to do our well, we should probably
hold off on our predictions tomorrow. But you expect a big,
(40:59):
big win tomorrow, I'm sure for Kentucky, right I do.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
I think it's going to be a fun day to
be at Krogerfield and a fun day to be a
UK football fan, and we desperately need that.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Hope Cutter Bully comes out and throws for five hundred
yards and throws for about six touchdowns at Kentucky wins
by one hundred. But I think as long as they
cover that twenty four and a half that I'm good
with that. I think that's what for me would be
success in tomorrow's game. If they come out and struggle,
then I don't know, I'm gonna have to work back.
If they come out and only win by you know,
seven or ten, then I'm going to have a completely different.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
This team is not very good. They're getting ready to play. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
I mean, they lost to Long Island and they got
drawn by Texas State. So I feel like it's going
to be a big win for Kentucky tomorrow, although I
don't know that it's going to change many people's opinions. Yeah,
all right, that's it for the KSR pre show. KSR
is coming up next. We're live at Clark's Bumping Shop
and Nicholas Phille thanks for listening.
Welcome everyone. It is the KSR pre Show.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's Friday, September the twelfth, and we are live at
Clark's Puppet Shop. Give us a call on the Clark's
Pumping Shop full line at eight five to nine two
eight oh twenty two eighty seven. It could be our
Whiskey Thief Call of the Day and the KSR pre
Show as always being brought to you by Italics Fine
Italian Dining in Lexington. We're at the Clark's Pumping Shop
at one hundred Bethel Harvest Road in Nicholasville, Kentucky, and
(00:25):
we're gonna be here till noon today with KSR. We've
got some I believe like some Eric Church sunglasses that
we're giving away for a promotion that he's gonna be
coming a Rapperina on October third.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Ok.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
And we got some deviled eggs here that somebody's already
brought out. Three bird brought from deviled eggs. We got
a lot going on here at Clark's Pupping Shop eight
five nine two eighth twenty two eighty seven. So here's
what we got. Matt is out today. He's gonna be
taken off for South Africa and Billy is apparently going
to be at a wedding for the next week. I
didn't know that it took a week to do a wedding.
(00:59):
But he's not gonna be here today, So filling in
pin hitting coming in here at the very last moment,
about two minutes before the show got going, Ryan Lemon
is here.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, it is happy that you made it. Ryan, good morning. Yeah.
I got caught into a little Leestown middle school traffic
this morning. I thought, oh, I'm gonna be pushing it
to get here. But you know, you break a few
traffic laws down road. No, no, don't say that. We're
live on the radio. You're a spokesman for the Kentucky
Department of Highlight Trapty. Yeah, you can't be getting on
the air and that's saying you broke traffic laws. You
don't do that. You're a perfect driver. Remember that's try.
(01:28):
I buckled up, I put my phone down, I obade
every traffic law to get down Nicholasville Road in about
two minutes. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Then we'll talk about Kentucky Eastern Michigan a little bit
later on the show. Bourbon and Beyond. Day number one
happened yesterday, Day two today we'll get into that. But
some breaking news at this hour. They the FBI has
reported that they believe they have the shooter, the basically
the guy who murdered Charlie Kirk in custody. Hours after
(01:56):
the video of a man believed to be the shooter
was released, Trump says that he thinks, with a high
degree of certainty, they have the guy who did it.
So nine thirty there's going to be a live FBI
press conference, and I don't know if we'll dip in
with that or not, but you can always get that
over on our sister station six thirty WLAP and eight
(02:16):
forty WHAS. But at least good news. It looks like
they have found the guy who murdered Charlie Kirk. Just
a couple of days ago, I guess, just to just
about an hour ago, President Trump made that announcement that
with a high degree of certainty, we have the assassin.
So it's kind of been blown up since then. I think,
you know, it's kind of captivated those of the country.
You know, for this this guy, this young man to be.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Shot down and giving a speech from college kids, it
kind of affects all of us. So hopefully they've got
the guy, the right guy, and he'll be let justice
do its course.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
So we will update you on that as we go
throughout the show if there is an update to give
you until the end. We are here at Clark's Popping
Shop and there's one of those Elon Musk cars right there.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Look at those?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, that is would you like one of those? It's
like it looks like a car out of Grand Theft Auto?
You ever played that on on PS two back?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Definitely, yeah, it does looks like it looks like something
you'd seen in a movie where it's I got machine
guns that come out of it and lasers and probably
flies swims flies. Yeah, that one of those tinpe of shoes,
one of those type of cars. Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
So we are here, like I said, Clark's Pupping Shop.
Come on by here today and there's no bigger UK
fans the Clark's Pumping Shops. So don't commit at the
party foul this football season. Get to tailgating at or
get your tailgate ready at Clark's Pupping Shop. They have
everything you need. They've got perfectly cajun crispy crunchy chicken.
How about that for some alliteration. The Hangar fifty four, pizza,
the chips, snacks, bottled water, ice, and of course beer.
(03:39):
What is your favorite road trip snack if you're stopping
at it at.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Clark's without a doubt. I know we've had discussion before. Yeah,
the oat milk cream Little Debbie oatmeal cream pie like that,
and then they get the double decker even better. That's
that's the favorite go to for sure. What about you,
you're a little Debbie guy. Oh, well, out of doubt,
just the old oatmeal cream pie. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I don't usually get something that's like that filling if
I'm trying to get a snack, but usually it's like
some Migi beef jerky, big mingy beef jerky guy. I
don't know how I don't have a Migi beef jerkey endorsement. Yeah,
as much as I talk about him, but beef jerky usually.
You know, I'm not a coke guy either, really, so
maybe a coffee, like when I was taking my road
trip to Florida, a lot of coffee, a lot of
(04:21):
beef jerky, and I don't know, like just stuff like that,
like maybe some some chips or something, maybe like some
dorridos and that's about it. That suits me for a
good ten hour trip.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
And we both we all know exactly what Matt gets
on his road trip. Snacks gets a Dike Coke, Skittles yep,
maybe some starburs clusters, No one of all the shirgles
cluster things, what they're called. That's it, nerd gummy cluster,
Nerd gummy clusters, Skittles, and a Diet Coke he set
for the heart for the trip.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
So today during the show, Ryan, you can enter the
touchdown dance competition. We're gonna be judging it, says, We
will be judging who has the best touchdown dance and
the three best we'll get a twenty five dollars gas
card here from Clark's Pumping Shop. How about that when
we're doing this and can we participate? You can do
one right now if you want to. You for everybody there,
you go.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
That's my running man. That's the running man running Man.
Now if I score ever score touchdown, that's what I
would go to. The running Man running Man.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay, Well, I mean I think that's I don't know,
is that out of date? I feel like that that's
been around for of course not at least fifty years.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Well, the elite of the lead and still do it.
So that's why I still do it.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yesterday I was at Bourbon and Beyond Fest. I missed
you out there. I don't know why you didn't come
to Bourbon and Beyond. It's a lot of fun out there.
We got to see Collective Soul played out there.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
The headliner last night, well, they were.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
On the revival stage because they've got kind of like
off to the back. They've got like it's called the
revival stage for a reason. I think it's people who
are trying to revive their career, huh. But it's bands that,
you know, we're maybe big in the nineties and maybe
long forgotten or you know, just bands that aren't as
popular anymore. And they closed out that one, that stage
in the back. Then they had Pat Benattar there last night.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Oh see, that was my high school heyday, right when
she was pretty popular.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
The Lumineers were there. I don't know if you even
know who they are. They that's it, okay, all right?
But my biggest takeaway from day one out there was
the prices of alcohol.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Oh my.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
And look, maybe somebody can tell me if I'm wrong
or not, but I feel like fourteen dollars for a
beer is outrageous. Like you know, when you went to
the Kentucky State Fair, beer was eight nine dollars something
like that. One beer fourteen bucks.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
If you wanted a white Claw it was sixteen bucks.
And if you want it, like I think it was
like another kind of craft beer that they had out there,
it was twenty dollars for a beer. At Bourbon and
Beyond Fest. Plus you're throwing forty dollars to park and
tim and tickets alone were not cheap. So I mean,
by the time you get a couple of tickets, you park,
(06:52):
and forty dollars parking is per day, by the way,
So if you go for all four days times that before, Wow,
that's how much is going to cost just to park
there each day. And then if you're going to drink,
I mean that that's a good way to have people
come in and only drink one or two. You don't
have to worry about anybody being overserved out there, because I mean,
who could afford it with those prices. But I think
(07:12):
like at Churchill Downs during the Kentucky Derby, met gelibis
were like seventeen or eighteen bucks. But maybe that's maybe
that's not par I don't know. Like if you go
to a Clark's pumping shop, you go in here right now,
and you get let's say, a six pack of bud Light.
I don't drink a whole lot of bud Light, but
what would that be like eight nine dollars dollars probably okay.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
So a little over a dollar a beer.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
And then you go there and they're charging you a
fifteen my goodness, fourteen fifteen dollars for one beer.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I don't know. It feels like it's a little bit
of greed. Well, they got you. You're kind of trapped there,
right you know, you go to a concert, you're outside,
it's hot, you've a lot of a lot of people
want to have a beer. So you're gonna go spend
that money just because you want that. And you said,
like yesterday like twenty to thirty thousand.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
People, Oh no, no more than that, And you think
most of those people probably do get a white Cloll
or a bud Light or something fifty to sixty thousand.
I think it's what it is each day.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Goodness.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
So that's a lot of money coming in, and look,
it's great for the city of louell I love it.
I'm gonna why they do it. Yeah, I'll be out there,
like I said, for all eight out of eleven days
with Louder than Life next week. But my goodness, like you,
you better come with some money if you're gonna be
doing anything other than just standing there and watching bands,
because it is not cheap.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Well, as you said, that's why Louisville does this, because
it's a big money maker for the city of Louisville.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, so all right, So that was that was day one.
Let's go through real quick here and see if you
know any of the bands from day day two. I'm
gonna give you the line up here, not all the bands,
but just sell them here. Do you know who switch
Foot is?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Never heard of him? Never heard of them?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Okay, do you know who Guster is?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Guster he's our noseguard, Dave Gusta.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
No, No, that's not him. Joe Bonamassa do you know
that name? It seems like I've heard that name for
some reason, but you don't know him.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
No.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Hes sings like a really great like one of the
best guitarists on the plays of guitar. Yeah. Uh, Kobe Kelly.
He sings the song on the bubbles? Is that the song?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Do you not know that one? I thought she was
like a five star point guard Back in the day,
Gavin de Grau heard of him. He was married to
uh the No Doubt girl.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
No No, no, whinch to final No No, you're thinking
about the singer. You're thinking about Gavin Rosdale from Bush Okay, Yes,
and then Gavin And then the headlining band is Fish
tonight and you said they played for like three hours.
They've got three hours and I don't know one song,
which brought me to the thought of, Okay, is there
a band out there that is more well known but
(09:34):
nobody like most people don't even know one song about
the band? Like for me, I think the answer is fifish.
I'm trying to think of another band that, like, I
know who they are, but I can't tell you one
song they sing like even like you know it's kind
of like a grateful dead thing.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
But you kind of know a couple of those songs,
touch agree. I can tell you there's one, Yeah, But like,
is there another band that is is that popular, that
well known? And then you know people know they exist,
but I can't tell you one song. I don't know
if you have other ones eight five, nine, two, eight oh,
twenty two, eighty seven, or on Twitter at Shannon the
Dude and at Ryan Lemon. All Right, so Kentucky Eastern
(10:09):
Michigan tomorrow, it's a seven thirty kickoff.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's gonna be on ESPN. You we're two games into
the season, Ryan, what is you think like the overall
vibe so far for what we've seen in these first
two games?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
You know, you beat Toledo.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
There was a lot of fans that thought maybe that
was going to be a struggle going into the game.
You lose to Old Miss, but you're in the game,
you know you only lose by one score. So going
into week three, what do you think is the overall
vibe of the fans? And then what is your read
on what we've seen so far? Has it changed anything
on your opinion from what we had going into the
(10:46):
season Going into week three.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I think most people, including myself, had them beating Toledo,
but then had them losing to Old Miss. Right, So,
after to answer your question, the first two games, I
don't feel any more optimistic about this team. Yea, I
don't feel any more negative about this team now. The
disaster that happened in the first half, the coaching, the
clock management, to play calling, the execution, stuff like that,
(11:08):
that's got most fans for That's what they're frustrated about.
I think necessarily the teams play. You know, the team was,
you know, one touchdown game of beating on Miss yep,
you know you're gonna probably blow out Eastern Michigan. So
I think it's really not the play on the field.
I think it's the stuff that all happened off the
field that kind of has the fan base so frustrated
right now about this team.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
It isn't that something that we've been talking about for years.
Is the clock management, the just sort of sloppiness on
the field, not being organized, not having to play in
and having to call a time out that happened twice
in the first quarter last game against Old Miss, And
I think that's more the frustration as far as like
the talent on the field. I mean, look, Calzada has
(11:48):
been a struggle, but I mean that situation may have
worked itself out with the injury. What to see what
what coder Bolie does tomorrow. But other than Calzada, I
feel actually really confident about what I've seen talent out
of this team. But you know, again, you factor in
that Kentucky was only just one score away from tying
(12:08):
possibly beating Old Miss, and it comes down to just
organizational issues. If they can somehow figure that out, and
all things consider, you're still playing close to Old Miss.
That gives me actually more optimism for the season moving ahead.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I really think we've got a running game that can
run against SEC defenses. I think our offensive line is
an SEC line, and I think we've got SEC caliber back.
I think our running game is can run the ball
in the SEC. I think we've got an SEC caliber defense.
I'll stack our defense up against anybody, you know. I
think they can do the job. So yeah, so the talent,
(12:43):
I agree with you, is there. It's just we've seen
nothing from the passing game, you know, no passing touchdowns yet.
I mean, I know we've got a small sample size
right eight quarters, but no passing touchdowns yet because they're
going to hand the rings rains over the cutter, see
if he can get that jump started. But you're right out.
I mean, if you just at our defense, our running game,
you'd think, okay, they can compete against some teams in
(13:04):
the SEC.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Do you think that the issue with the passing game
is I mean, does it go entirely on Caluzada or
the receivers to blame? Do you think it's a little
bit of all the above when it comes to the
struggles for the passing game.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
In the first two games, I I deferred of guys
that know a lot more about me, and they say,
in the first game against Toledo, our receivers having a
hard time getting open. Well, we heard before the game, though,
that Toledo had like some NFL type corners cover guys,
so maybe that they were legit and we had trouble
getting open. Second game, you know, you hear people say, well,
(13:38):
Calzada had some guys open, he just didn't get him
the ball. So to answer your question, I think it's
maybe a little of both. After the first two games,
that's why you got to go to Cutters see if
what he can do. I think, so.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Billy and I had this debate, like what happens if
what I would expect to happen tomorrow, Kentucky comes out,
they win, big, Cutter Bowley looks great. Then you go
into the South Carolina game. What if you have a
situation where Cutter Bully maybe doesn't look all that great.
You got Kalizada now held up. You have to pick
one or the other. I don't think he can do
this back and forth. Let's play one guy one game,
(14:08):
you know, Cutter the next, Kalasada the next game.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I think you have to stick to one or the other.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
But I feel like this is a likely scenario that
Mark Stoops is going to find himself in when we
get to the South Carolina or maybe the game's past
South Carolina, like the second half of the season, where
you've got Kalasada who's maybe held up for that injury,
Cutter Bowlie's looking good. You got to pick one or
the other. I don't know, Like if your Stoops, what
do you do? Do you go with the guy that
you spend all the nil money on who was brought
(14:35):
into beer Starter, or do you go with the guy
who you're calling the quarterback of your future? Because I
can see this being a likely scenario that plays out.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I mean, that's why he gets what nine mini year
right to make these tough decisions, because you're right, that's
a very likely scenario. But if you've seen what you're
going to be able to get out of Calzada. Why
wouldn't you just go with Cutter? If he's your quarterback
for the future, why not just good ride with him,
let him go through some growing pains, let him have
some rough But if that's if we if we've seen
(15:03):
what Calzada is gonna bring you, I just don't see
how that's a better argument than just going with Cutter
and let him flying with him.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
And I'll also ask you what I was asking, Billy.
I want to get your take on this. Is it
fair though? To compare what Cutter does against Eastern Michigan
to what Calazada did against the top twenty team in
Old miss and a good Toledo team.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Fair question? And you know he could light it up tomorrow.
He could have a couple hundred yards passing, throw a
couple of touchdown. Does that mean anything because of anything?
Because they're so poor, there's such a number a good
football team. That's why I think you're right. The true
test will come when you go on the road at
South Carolina that next game, because then after that is
what Georgia, Texas, Florida, Tennessee. I mean, they just load
up after that.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
So do you feel like the job now is Cutters
to lose if he starts tomorrow, which I mean I
think he's gonna start.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, it's pretty much. I don't They won't come out
and set it, but they've kind of come out right right.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
So let's say Cutter has a great game tomorrow. Is
the QB one job his to lose? Just I think
it is. I mean, I like that was my argument.
I think why not just run with you and he's
your quarterback for the future.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
If he's giving you exactly what you're getting from cal Zona,
I don't care if you spend on that money on him.
You think you got to go for your future and
go with Cutter? All right?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Eight five nine two ah, twenty two eighty seven. We'll
take your opinion, your call, give us a call on
the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line. That's where we're at today.

your back goal. It was a It was a coozy
with a station on it, station logo on it. And
(16:55):
the guy showed up like ten minutes before I was
about to leave and was so upset that I didn't
have any more coozies. He was legit about to get
into a fight with me over at koozie and I'm

I think, you know, Matt was asking me yesterday what
I think success is for this game tomorrow. I think
it's cover. So what would you say a success for
Kentucky tomorrow just win the game? Or is there a
certain point margin that you think they need to win
by to call it a success.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I think there's gonna be a level of excitement tomorrow
for the game because it's Cutter's debut. So I think
that'll kind of lead to the fact that and then
if they go out and can light up the scoreboard,
put up forty points, beat them bury this team, I
think that's I think a lot of fans will walk
away from that stadium feeling good or better at least
about what they saw on about the program.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
All right, let's do some over runners attendance forty five thousand.
I think they'll be over over. It won't be full.
What's Kroger hold sixty one? Right, sixty one or sixty two,
something like that. So you think it'll be over forty five?
Speaker 3 (18:50):
I do.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
And I think because it's a Hall of Fame weekend,
it's Veterans weekend, they easily brings a pretty good crowd
to first night game at Kroger Field. It's Cutter's debut, yea,
So I'm still hopeful there'll be a good crowd.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Cutter Bowley touchdowns. I'm gonna put it at one and
a half over or under.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
That's a great number. That's a great number, and I
was thinking too, so I'll go over. Actually, I think
I think he's gonna throw for a couple of touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Cutter Bowley passing yards over under one fifty over.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I think I think they're gonna let him rip it.
We even Stevens he said it this week, bish Handam
said it this week. We're gonna let him rip it.
So all right?
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
And then you know I was telling you yesterday the
stat that Eastern Michigan has given up over six hundred
yards so far this season in just two games, so
over under rushing yards as a team, two hundred and
twenty five.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
That's a that's another great number because I think that's
what we got against Toledo, like right at two hundred
and twenty five rushing yards. I think they want to
let color Cutter rip it. But I think though they
once they do run it, Eastern Michigan won't be able
to stop these tw guys.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I would think that maybe they're gonna let Cutter throw
a lot in the first half. I would hope at
halftime that Kentucky has a comfortable lead and then and
I think it's going to be limited passing. I think
there's gonna be a lot of uh you know, a
lot of a lot of rushing and just let them
ground and pound. And that's that's stoops game anyway, right.
I mean, the fact that they give up that many
rushing yards kind of plays into what Stoopes likes to
(20:13):
do offensively to begin with.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah, and you've got two studs back there, and maybe
we can see Patterson in this game. Get him some
touches and get him running a little bit. So yeah,
they I think they'll be if and when they decide
to run, they'll have great success.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Hey Top nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. Who's
up first?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Liam, Mike and Lexington. Hey Mike, what's going on? How
are you.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Very good? Thanks? Hello?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Ryan? How are you doing good?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Mike?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
All right good. I'm one of the few people probably
that you'll talk to who've seen Guzana in person. Probably
uh we we My son was stationed in San Antonio
and we were there one day last year and we
won two a football game and the carnet word and
watched him play. And I'll tell you the big difference. Honestly,
(21:01):
I know a little bit about quarterbacks, and I does
coach don't one of one of the And I've seen
Cotter Bowley play too, obviously when he was at Lexi kemper.
The the thing about UH Galzada was he had a
receiver who was very fast and would get open all
(21:23):
over the field. He also had another another receiver, a
bigger guy that they threw to underneath and so on.
And the biggest thing to me, I didn't see. I
just haven't seen these receivers getting open. Now, whether that's
the receiver, whether that's the play call, whether it's just
the system he's in. I noticed that UH that the
(21:45):
UH against Prairie View back in San Antonio. They ran
a fast offense. They were on the line of scrimmage
pretty quickly and the pace was so much faster. So
I I don't know whether any of those things have
a lot to do with it, but that's what I've seen.
I still think that he's a good quarterback, that he's
(22:09):
the injury is gonna flow him down. But as far
as Cutter Bully goes, he's bigger, he's taller, he can
see the field, and he's used for the system, So yeah,
he may be more success all.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Right, Mike, we appreciate it. Thank you for the phone call.
Maybe there is something to the slow offense that is
leading to the receivers not being open.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Mike knows football, is a long time football coach, so
you believe what he says.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
We got to take a break. We are live here
at Clark's Pupping Shop and Nicholasville. Come on out and
see us. It is the KSR apprecial. All right, we're back.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
We're live.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Clark's Pupping Shop out here in Nicholasville Road. This is
the new location, right, Is this the newest location.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
That I believe this is the newest location. Yes, it's
this whole area's nudes right for those who are looking
for us. Everybody knows the new lung John Silvers. We're
just like two doors down from the new Long John
Silvers here on Nicholas Field.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
So I've heard so much. This is the law the
Long Johnson that says we've been talking about.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
That's the one right there where the line was out
on the street trying to get in when they opened up.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
So I didn't realize that Long John Silvers was still
that popular. I felt like that was something that existed
when I was a kid and my grandparents used to
go to it. But I didn't realize that Long John
Silvers was so popular that people would be lined up
out the door just to get it. I mean, is
it frozen fish?
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I don't know. It was a madhouse when they open.
I know that. But you'll be the same way when
they reopen chee Cheese. You'll be standing in line open
go to chi Cheesey kidding me. See people feel the
same way maybe about Long John Silotory. Hold on a minute,
that is blasphemy. Don't even try to compare Long John
Silvers the chee Cheese. Chee Cheese is the greatest establishment
that ever existed. And you're trying to tell me that
Long John Silvers should be mentioned in the same breath
(23:40):
as chee Cheese.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yes, I think they're opening one in Minnesota later on
this year, and I am you may fly up there
to go. I am highly considering going there. And my
problem with it is, you know, there's so many Mexican
restaurants now that exist. Like back in the nineties, I
felt like there was really just tumbleweed in chee cheese. Yeah,
(24:02):
and now you have like all these other you know,
really good. A lot of them family owned Mexican restaurants
that pop up in small towns, and I'm worried that
Chee Cheese is going to come back and it's not
going to be as good as I remembered. Yeah, you know,
like something goes away in your mind, you always build
it up to you better than what it was, and
then you go there and you go, yeah, this is underwhelming.
(24:23):
Like you know, I could go to a place in
my hometown and it'd be just as good as this.
So that's my concern, and I have not a lot
of you, so many people of you. So many people
have sent me the link where you can invest in
chichch Cheese. I haven't done it yet because you know,
I'm investing in another bar called kas Bar and Girl,
so but I don't think I'm going to invest in that.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
But we had a good crowd there last night to
watch your packers. Oh, the commanders.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Let's talk about the packers for a minute. I mean,
should we just go ahead and give them the Super
Bowl ring?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Now?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Oh? Look great?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Last, of course, Jordan Love throws for over two hundred yards.
Of course I didn't meet it. When I didn't better
on Dwards because I was at Bourbon and beyond us,
they look really good. They beat the Lions, who I
thought was going to be a team that would compete
for the Super Bowl this year. They blew them out
in the first game. They beat Washington last night. They
got the Browns coming up, they got the Bengals. They're
going to crush those two teams. So I'm just saying
(25:14):
the Packers may be making a good, good run here
in the playoffs this year.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I'll gave you that because the Lions and the Commanders
are two teams that you know, went a long way
in the playoffs last year, two good teams, and the
Packers kind of made them look bad in both games.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
All right, So we had free Bird who brought out
deviled eggs enough food, and I think this is the
earliest that I've ever eaten deviled eggs before for breakfasted
eggs for breaks. Deviled eggs are one of those things
that I as a kid could not stand. I would,
you know, every time I would go over for Thanksgiving
or Christmas to my grandparents' house, they would always have
doubled eggs, and I was like, that looks disgusting. But
(25:47):
when we went to the SEC tournament in Tampa, and
we stayed at your parents' house yep. And we came
home from a night a party in Yes, and I
opened up the refrigerator and the only thing that was
in there were your mom's doubled eggs fresh. I go, man,
I hate doubled eggs, but I am starving. You ever
get to the point like where you have something that
that's the only thing that you have to eat? Oh, yeah,
(26:07):
you hate, you don't like the thing, but you're just
gonna eat it hungry. Well that was that night for me,
And that was the night that I became a doubled
eggs fan.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
So now we have freebirds doubled eggs here, and he's
got what is that some kind of bourbon jam on there,
Halipino bourbon jam. I think it is from mister eggs
and mister eggs or mister eggs.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
That that's ed. Yeah, put it on the eggs to
call them mister egg, mister egg and it's yeah, I'm
gonna tell you it's really good. The deviled eggs are good,
but that holopeno bourbon jelly stuff is like phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
So what do you put what is that it's like
mayonnaise that you put inside the egg, Like I don't
even like what is that stuff?
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
You you the the what the yellow of the egg
you mix it with like paprika and garlic and mayonnaise.
No mustard, mustard ruins it. Don't put mustard in it.
You're you're your team. No mustard, no absolutely yeah, but uh, freebird,
these are good. But he did a good job.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
So the Little Basketball News, Big Blue Madness is gonna
be on a Saturday this year, Saturday, October eleventh. Ticket
information still coming out, but this is gonna be our
first look at the team. Do you do you care
one way or the other if it's on a Friday
or a Saturday. I think moving it to a Saturday
is fine. It makes sense for me. You know, Saturdays
usually when people have the entire day they're not you know,
(27:23):
in some cases, having to go to work all day
and then go to Big Blue Madness later on that night.
I kind of like to move to a Saturday.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
And Kentucky Football's off that day. It's a bye week
for the football team, so it's perfect. I'm kind of
glad they did put it on a Saturday night instead.
Of a Friday night compete with high school football and
the other things that happened on Friday night. Football is
not playing on Saturday. Doo midnight Madness on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I saw some people suggesting maybe that Rick Patino should
come back, and I'm going, didn't we already do that?
If you bring them back one time, okay, that's special,
or if you bring him back for a game, you know,
like we're doing this year. He's not gonna be a
rough but you know, to have the game against Patino.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I don't think that you need to bring back Rick
Patino every time you have a big Blue Madness.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
We did that last year.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
It was a cool moment for a lot of fans,
except for Marsha, who I'm sure was rolling her eyes.
But you know, I don't think you need to do
that again, like once you brought him in last year.
No need to bring him back again. Would you agree
with that? Or do you think we need to bring
back Rick again?
Speaker 3 (28:16):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
No, I mean he is coaching a team that we're
gonna play later this season. You know, he's still gonna
be trying to beat us, wants to beat us, and
we play them in December c Yeah, he did his thing,
he's backing good graces with us, Let's don't overdo it.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
I'm always wondering, like, I guess maybe there's not a
lot of hardcore Saint John's fans out there, but it
feels like Rick Patino still takes a lot of interest
in Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
And if I'm a Saint John's fan, like, why are
you flirting with her? Like you're with me now? Why
are you flirting with your your your ex? And that's
kind of always felt like what it has been the
last couple of years with well, I guess the last
year with Patino since Pope took over at Kentucky that
he has, you know, a lot of a lot of affection.
I feel like still for Kentucky to get back in
our good graces, which I feel like he's done for
(29:02):
most fans.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
And so since we're talking about this, John Calip Perry
yesterday posted a picture of him holding a John Wall
article and like he's saying, you know, my thinking about
the good old days or whatever. If I'm an Arkansas fan,
I'm mad. I'm like, why are you still hanging on
to your UKD? You with us? Now.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
But I feel like John cali Perry feels like, you know,
those were his like his guys versus his school. Yeah,
you know what I mean, he looks at that way.
I think that's one thing I'm glad that they did
when Pope came in. They took down, you know, all
the stuff that was just about the NBA players, right
and made it more about the University of program exactly,
because I felt like when you would walk in and
(29:41):
they would have all the players that went to the
NBA that were under John Caliperry, it was almost like, hey,
look at me, Look what I've done as a coach,
gotten all these guys into the NBA, versus not making
it about what.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
The program is. Yeah, where was Tayshawn Prince? Where was
Jamal Mashburn? Where was Chapman? That stuff was nowhere to
be seen because he wanted just his guys up there
all right.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Hesitate to go to the phones because I think we've
got Kentucky Joe up next, and Joe, we've already got
a song from you, so we don't need another song.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
But uh, I think he's cutter song as a top
ten hit. Well, I mean it was. It was a
song of all songs.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Joe, how are good morning?
Speaker 3 (30:16):
I'm doing all right. I'm a little under the weather,
allergies and stuff. But hey, i'll tell you excuse me,
those uh those devil eggs sound good?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Well they are, but you can't have any.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
You could save something for me, all right, Joe.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Yeah, let's let's get down to it. What do you
got Wait a minute, we'll wait on you, Joe, anytime
you're ready.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Joe, Wait, Wayne, Wayne, blamement, blame it.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yo, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
We'll wait.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Wait as long as you want.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Appreciate the colleg Joe. All right, thank you, Joe, appreciate it.
You can hang up on a lamb A five nine
twenty two eighties old Kentucky. Joe, we're still waiting for
somebody to come out and do their first touchdown dance.
We got some people here. Yeah, you can do a
touchdown dance. Karen'll do one for a chance to win
a twenty five dollars gas card. No, you're not gonna
do a touchdown dance for Maddy.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Karen. One of you guys want to do twenty five
dollars gift card for gas? It's pretty good for Clark's
Pumping Job they pump Shop?
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Is that the greatest nil commercial that we've had so
far from a UK player?
Speaker 1 (31:23):
We need to play that on KSR. We get it.
Can you dig that up and have Liam play it?
We got to play it again. I feel like that's
the best one.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
It is.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
But if we're being honest, what do we have that
to compare it to?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I guess we have Reed Shepherd and Rob Dillingham and
their Donados which is really baddos and Io commercial where
they're wearing like plain white T shirts so they look
like they're inside of an elevator being held hostage. So
we have that to compare it to. But I like
the Clark's Pumping Shop so on. I thought it was catchy.
Well you you're one of a few you didn't like it.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
It was awful. I thought it was good pump and shop.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
So I gotta ask you about this because according to
a new study, are you a happy guy?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Ryan?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
You seem like a happy I'm very happy guy. According
to a new study from wallet hub, they put together
the happiest states in America. Okay, one through fifty. All right,
you want to say a guest where Kentucky ranks.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I'm gonna say Kentucky ranks close to the bottom.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
You're right, Kentucky all the way down at number forty
three on the list. They ranked this by they say
emotional and physical well being, work, environment, community and environment.
I'm not sure what the difference is between well, I
guess just community in general. But Kentucky all the way
down at number forty three. I was kind of surprised
to see that. I feel like most people in Kentucky
(32:37):
are happy.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, because people outside of Kentucky, they think rural areas,
those people have to be sad, depressed, not happy people.
You can live in a rural area and still be
a live a very happy line.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
You want to take a guess at what the happiest
state is?
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Uh, California. No Colorado because of the marijuana laws. No,
California was number seven. Colorado.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
I don't even see them, see I. They're a little
further down Florida. Florida is not in the top ten.
So what's number one?
Speaker 1 (33:10):
All right?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
I'll give you the top five here. Number five is Connecticut?
Speaker 1 (33:13):
All right?
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Number four? New Jersey? What number three? I don't believe
of this one? Nebraska? Who in the world could be
happy in Nebraska. It's a nothing but corn. I feel like,
you know, what's the quote that Matt always said, that's
corn and sadness. I feel like that's true with Nebraska.
But their ranked number three on this list. Number two
is Maryland and number one Hawaii. I've never seen anybody sad.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
True, That's very true, tend the Mianks. Some people in
the Northeast may just made this poll though it was.
Maryland and Connecticut are up there in the top five.
Maybe so.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
We're still waiting to get an update on the from
the FBI on the Charlie Kirk shooter situation, which we
talked about in the first segment. If we have an
update on that, we'll get it to you. Eight five,
nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. We'll live out
here at Clark's Popping Shopping and stop by you can
grab some Clark sunglasses for your chance to win a
of tickets to see Eric Church. He's coming into Rapperena
on October third. You can also get a free small
(34:05):
cup of coffee or a fountain drink during the show.
So if you come in during the show while we're
here till noon, you can get a like I said,
a free cup of coffee or a fountain drink, and
everyone that stops by to fill up their tanks and
we'll get ten cents off per gallon.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Did you know that that's a great deal man.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I gotta fill up the station vehicle, so I'm gonna
say iHeart ten cents a gallon.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I'm filling up before I leave here today too, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
All right, we're gonna fill up our belly with some
more of these deviled eggs during the break. We'll take
your calls. Coming up next eight bob nine two eight
oh twenty two eighty seven. It is the ksrpre shiow.
Come on, Ryan, you don't like that well sing along?
Pump I Shop? Come on, pump I Shop. You don't
like a pump and shop?
Speaker 1 (34:43):
There you go, there it is.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
I'm just saying, that's good stuff. Welcome back. We are
alive here at Clark's Popping Shop at Nicholasville and at
the one hundred Bethel Harvest Road. Come on by here
and see us. Could be hanging out until noon today.
I saw for the first time yesterday somebody tweeted me
a picture of Shannon the dude's brew out in the wild.
It's now nice trickling out in Kroger stores?
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Is it? So you can uh it is? It is
a store. I know it. It's been coming up. It's happened. Yep.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
I've had people, you know, like in Mount Washington going
up there and checking every day, like, hey, where's it at.
You know, they said September that thing is, though they
didn't tell it was a win in September, so it
could have been September first, it could be September thirtieth.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
But but it's there. But look for it tonight in
your Kroger stores.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Cool seventy different Kroger stores throughout the state of cond
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
That's really cool.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I look for it when you get there, all right.
So you know I was talking about in the first segment,
the price is a beer. A lot of people seem
to agree with me. Some people are telling me to
shut up because those are actually cheap prices compared to
other places they've been I don't know, man, fourteen dollars
a beer feels like I don't want to call it
price gouging, but it feels like it's a little steep
to grab it.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
But you said that. You know, went to the Reds
game earlier this summer a couple weeks ago, and it
was saying fourteen fifteen dollars for a beer there, So
I guess maybe that's just the going price now for
at a stadium or an event.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Right coming up, at what ten thirty today, we're gonna
have a couple of volleyball players with US eleven eleven, okay,
eleven today? Do you know the names of the volleyball
players are going to be interviewing today?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Brooklyn Delay, Yes, and Molly. I think her last name
is pronounced.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Tazzo, Tuzzozo, Tuzzo.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Molly tzz She's the Libiro there you go, li Buro.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Do you know what that means? Liberobert? Do you know
what that means?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
She's like the defensive specialist show comes in and she
wears a different colored jersey.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Okay, well, we're all counting on you. I don't want
to I don't want you to embarrass this all here, Dude.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
What did Might call Mike? What did Matt call him?
He called him a spiker and a Laredo, That's right,
I guess what he called him.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
So they're gonna be here with this coming up later
on today, I wanted to ask you about this story.
This is I think about a week old. Did you
see the Florida sheriff who busted a drug dealer and
wore his fifty thousand dollars gold chain at the press
conference announced that they busted him. I mean, first of all,
that is so Florida, is it not? It is Florida
(36:58):
to have the sheriff bust a drug dealer and then
wear his bling up at the press conference. Imagine you're
the drug dealer who just got popped. Number one, you're
in jail, and then number two, you got the sheriff
up there just flawning it in your face.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Look at my gold that I'm wearing.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
It was a big fat gold chain, as you can
imagine for fifty thousand being worth fifty thousand dollars. I
don't know, man, This guy, I think has become my
favorite Florida sheriff, not that I know any other Florida sheriffs,
but I did get a kick kind of watching the
video of the guy.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
You're the guy that I knew you were gonna love
that guy. That's just Bainally, you know, that's wrestlers at
its best right there, throwing it in your face.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
I mean, I'm just saying like if I were in
theory ever to be a sheriff, and you would not
want me to be a police officer, But if I were,
that's the kind of thing that I would probably do.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Just go up there and you know where the guy
you bust it, where his stuff where his bling to
the press conference.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Ryan, you know that I still constantly get foreign money
sent to my house as long it's this been going on.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
This has been going on now for about.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Five years since COVID, and I got this long letter
here that I thought maybe I would read because this
is this is kind of a cool letter that somebody
sent me, right, this was from somebody in Colorado, and
they start off, dear mister Grigsby. I hope that I
have found the correct address of the right mister Shannon Grigsby.
There's not many of us out there, so I don't
(38:19):
think it's too hard to narrow it down. Said, I've
heard bits of your radio show. It was my husband
who became an avid listener. I didn't know how he
came to listen to your show, as we do not
have any connections to Kentucky, no family and no friends there.
We do enjoy watching the Kentucky Derby, though my husband
Richard worked in marketing his entire working life. The reason
for the enclosed venezuela, I don't know how you say
(38:41):
their currency? Is it beliver is sure?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Whatever it is the reason for the money and closed
is that he had a three month assignment five years
ago with an oil company there or the longest time
apart mister Grigsby. I lost my husband, Richard eighteen months ago,
oh no, short after he retired. Going through his things,
I found this and others he had brought back. I
heard him once say that your listeners send you currencies
(39:07):
from all over the world, and he said he was
going to send you send that to you one of
these days. We have five young grandkids, and I've given
each one of them bills of smaller denomination. The ten
thousand whatever this bill is called I'm sending you is
worth about seventy US dollars. My grandkids would either tear
it up or lose it. I want to send it
(39:30):
to you on behalf of Richard, for all that, for
the entertainment that you provide it. He certainly received more
than seventy dollars of entertainment from listening to you boys
on behalf of him. I want to thank you for
the craziness you all bring to the airwaves. And I
really wish I knew how he found you guys in
the first place. I know how to dale you your
show up, and we'll do it in remembrance of my husband.
(39:52):
It just won't be as often necessarily Helene Hol's claw.
So I thought that was a really cool, awesome, really cool,
that's beautiful. You know, a lot of times I get,
you know, goofy letters that come along with it, that
one right there, I thought was really cool.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
And that kind of means a lot, I think, to
all of us to know that they don't have they
I don't have any connection to UK, I mean connection
to us at all. Yet they're listening in Colorado and
get some enjoyment out of.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
It's just a reminder of how much of a reach
this show has. You know, we think that it's just
our fan base here in Kentucky and Big Blue Nation
of course, is a huge fan base. But you know,
for somebody that didn't even have any connection whatsoever, to
Kentucky and she doesn't even know how he found us
to begin with. Kind of a cool letter. I wanted
to share that with it very cool. I also want
to let you know that on Draft Kings sports Book
(40:36):
you can sign up with promo code KSR bet five dollars,
get two hundred dollars in bonus bet. You can also
get two hundred dollars off of the NFL Sunday ticket.
On YouTube and YouTube TV, you can do live betting,
same game player props. It's all there for you. You
get fast and easy payouts with the Draft Kings Sportsbook.
The crown is yours, all right, So I don't know,
do we want to do our well, we should probably
hold off on our predictions tomorrow. But you expect a big,
(40:59):
big win tomorrow, I'm sure for Kentucky, right I do.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
I think it's going to be a fun day to
be at Krogerfield and a fun day to be a
UK football fan, and we desperately need that.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Hope Cutter Bully comes out and throws for five hundred
yards and throws for about six touchdowns at Kentucky wins
by one hundred. But I think as long as they
cover that twenty four and a half that I'm good
with that. I think that's what for me would be
success in tomorrow's game. If they come out and struggle,
then I don't know, I'm gonna have to work back.
If they come out and only win by you know,
seven or ten, then I'm going to have a completely different.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
This team is not very good. They're getting ready to play. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
I mean, they lost to Long Island and they got
drawn by Texas State. So I feel like it's going
to be a big win for Kentucky tomorrow, although I
don't know that it's going to change many people's opinions. Yeah,
all right, that's it for the KSR pre show. KSR
is coming up next. We're live at Clark's Bumping Shop
and Nicholas Phille thanks for listening.
