Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show.
Today is Wednesday, September twenty fourth. I'm Billy Rutledge along
with Shannon the Dude. You can give us a call
in the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line. That's eight five
nine two Aho two two eight seven Texas at five
oh two two six five six six five six be
our whiskey Thief call of the day. And as always,
(00:22):
the KSR pre Show is brought to you by Italics
Fine Italian Dining in Lexington, Kentucky at the City Center
in Lexington. My co host, Shannon the Dude is in
a Louisville Bats hat today. He's in Louisville. What's up, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Goodnes say, Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Man?
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Yeah, just uh, my way of supporting the Cincinnati Reds,
who are now a game back from the wild Card.
I don't have a Red hat, but I've got a
lovel Bats hat on, and I've got no ill will
against the Reds, although the Reds fans seem not to
like me, because you know, I was at that Braves
game and I tweeted out some things and.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Oh that's when you were standing and mocking reeple as
the Braves were winning, right.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Reds fans are just attacking me, And here I am
actually trying to root for the Reds to get in,
just to show that there's no ill will.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I've got the level bats head on today whose season
just ended?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
What a guy? Yeah, what a guy? You are sharing
supporting the Reds even though they lose to the Pirates
last night, while the Mets come back to beat the Cubs,
so they have lost control of the wild card spot
as of now.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Well, here's the thing, Like, the Reds have the tiebreaker,
so they don't necessarily have to win the wild card.
All they have to do is just tie for the
wild card and they'll still get it by default because
of the tiebreaker. The Mets, on the other end, have
to win it out right.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
They can't finish tied with the Reds, otherwise they'll be out.
Reds will be in, So they have to finish a
game ahead. So the pressure is still on the Mets.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, And as baseball winds down to the postseason, last
week of the regular season, a lot of sports going on,
and we'll talk a lot of sports today, whether it
be Kentucky men's basketball, some of the practice clips that
they've been releasing Kentucky football, and the season schedules for
the next what three to four years have come out
for common opponents or at least conference opponents.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah, we'll get to all that before.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
I just want to say one other thing about baseball
real quick, because I know they probably won't come back
to it. But have you seen this epic collapse of
the Detroit Tigers.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
No, no, what happened?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
So the Guardians just beat the Tigers yesterday. The Guardians
were down ten and a half games on September first
and are now tied for the NL Central.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
What.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Let that sink in for a minute. They were down
ten and a half games on September the first and
now tied.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
The Guardians are I think, nine and one in their
last ten. The Tigers are one and nine in their
last ten. So that's how quickly it can flip.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Wow. I know the Tigers were pretty good all year
and so collapse late in the year. You got to
be playing your best baseball in the fall. Crazy, and
they are not doing that. I got a couple more
baseball notes we can get to today, Shannon, including the
implementation of the automated Ball Strike Challenge system starting in
twenty twenty six. As we get closer to computers and
AI running the sports that we love, I do want
(03:01):
to say I'm at my house today might sound a
little bit different, Shannon. We had a little bit of
change of plans late, not in the studio this morning.
Last night, the fiance goes, hey, I think we should
go to the gym in the morning, you know, get
bit to it, pushing and pulling, you know what I mean? Shannon.
So I'm like, all right, So I set my alarm
for six am. We'll get there at six thirty, work
out for an hour, we'll be back at seven thirty,
(03:21):
plenty of time to get ready for the KSR pre
show at nine. Sounds good, right, Sure? Yeah, Well I
set my alarm for six pm, not six am.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Sure well, she didn't wake up either.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
No, she didn't wake up either. I didn't wake up
till late. So we did. We pulled an audible and
now we're here doing the show here from the second
floor of Lexington of my house. Shannon. So the old
wrong ampm for the reason why I'm not going to
the gym at six am this morning, You've done that before.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Well, yes I have, and I did it one time
when it was daylight saving time, so the hour had flipped.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I guess that Saturday.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
And this was before we had well I mean, I
had a cell phone, but I didn't use the cell
phone as my alarm as I do now. But this
is back when I was still using like the old
school alarm clock. Yeah you hate that sound, you know.
And so I had set the alarm to wake up,
but I didn't adjust the clock because the daylight saved and.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Then woke up late and slept through half the Leach report.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
That oh you're not alone, I mean left that day
and whether you're either springing forward or falling back, I mean,
I think people give a little bit of leadiency from
those people that don't set their clock right that day.
But one of these days we're just going to eliminate that, Shannon.
We'll fall back or we'll spring forward, and we'll stay forward, hopefully.
But we've been saying that for the entire length of
(04:41):
the KSR pre show, So not getting my hopes up
too much. I do want to commend Drew leading KSR yesterday.
I thought he did a great job. You guys were
joined by Dennis Johnson, the former Kentucky player and father
of Jasper. Yesterday, I thought it was a good show.
It's not easy leading the show, is it, Shannon. I mean,
it's definitely a different role than maybe the one that
(05:02):
Ryan and Drew normally play when Matt is on the show.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Well, you and I, you know, we flip back and
forth each day on who drives the show. I don't
know if there's another show out there that does that.
Usually the host is the host. You and I, I
think are sort of a unique dynamic or unicorn. We
are within the fact that you can do one day,
I can do the next, and we can both lead
the show and the show will be fine regardless of
who drives it. So yeah, yeah, I think you did
(05:24):
a good job. And you know, that's not something that
he's used to doing. So when you're you know, put
in that situation, it can be a little difficult.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, make sure you do plenty of research.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
You got to make sure you have plenty of topics,
because when you're driving the show, the last thing you
want to do is run out of things to say.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
No, that's it, that's it.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
You know, Like like if you're driving the show like
you are today. I just react to what you say
you're bringing the topics. I just react to what topics
we're talking about. But when you're driving the show, you
got to make sure you're not just prepared, but over prepared.
Like when I put together show prep, I make sure
I have more than enough, like stuff that I have
(06:01):
stuff on my phone that we could talk about right
now that have been leftover topics for weeks.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Oh so you've got the Evergreen Tops. Oh yeah, for sure,
that our backup. So when you run out of things
to say or don't know where to go next, you've
always got this.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Well yeah, because let's say Billy our Sports decides to
sleep through the lead not the lead report, but the
ksrpre show. Let's say Billy just decides to sleep through
this show, which sometimes I wonder if you are, because
you don't pay attention to work now. And so then
in that case, I could just go to my topics
list and I got a full show I could do
right now, just on the spot.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Now.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
They may not be topics that would be the best
for this show, but you know what, they're something to
talk about, and I'm not just sitting here staring at
the microphone, not able to say anything.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I wish I would have gotten that advice back in
twenty twenty one, because I was thrown to the fire
when we were flipping who was hosting this show, back
when we first started running out of topics, not knowing
what to say. I will give credit to Matt. He's
really good at talking about the things around him. You know,
KSR is at their best when you guys travel, right,
you're on the road these road trips, and that allows
(07:05):
Matt to build, you know, a show to some show topics,
but also talk about the drunk guide throwing corn hole
during the KSR postcam show, things like that. That's right,
So those guys were fun in Milwaukee and you just
jumped in. Oh yeah, I smoked them too. Oh you did.
I didn't know you. You killed them too?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I don't think that was mentioned on the air, but
that's what happened. So tomorrow, Oh yeah, I don't know
if you want to talk about this now or not,
but we're talking about competition.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
And we can talk about it if you want, so
I understand.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Okay, So tomorrow we're going to be at ham Day's.
I love Ham Days. Love Kentucky ham Days. We'll talk
more about it tomorrow. But that's something I had gone
to with my grandparents all the way back to when
I was a little kid.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
So I love ham Days.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
But you told me that you were going to put
your haybell tossing trophy on the line.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
And now come to find out that's not true. What
are you? Chicken?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
We're not doing the haybell toss anymore? What's going on?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
So?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I got a text yesterday, do you need anything before
the remote? You know, making sure everything's in line, you know,
crossing our te's dot in our eyes, and like yep,
And we're real excited for the haybell toss. You know,
I'm ready to go. I've been working on my technique
and I was told that we are not going to
be having a haybell toss this year? What for reasons
(08:30):
that I do not know.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
See, I've been working out with beach Body all year long,
trying to build a little extra muscle so I could
throw that haybell farther than anybody and beat you and
take your trophy and rub it in your face. And
now here we are a day before we find out
We're not even going to have the competition.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Trust me, I've been squeezing this victory for three hundred
and sixty two days. I know this has been the
maybe crowning achievement of the last calendar year for Billy
r Sports. But told yesterday we will not have a
haybel toss us. We will instead, and they have already
created a trophy and gotten it engraved, we will have
(09:06):
a hog calling competition.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Now what in the Arkansas Razorbacks is a hog calling competition?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Like?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Do we need like John Calipari? He knows how to
do call the hogs? Should we get him over here
to maybe help? He should be an expert at that
by now.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, So I sent that to the group chat. Not
everybody on board about calling the hogs. Maybe because it's
a little bit like John Calipari. Ryan seemed to think
this was perfect for some reason. I'm not sure how
you call a hog.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Well I'm not either, but wu pig suey.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Can we just default to not doing the hog calling
contest and just give the trophy to Billy?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Just say, Billy, you went again. There you go. Let's
get give Billy a participation. Troll.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
No, no, no, you know, these trophies are to be earned.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I have seen state fairs where they will do husband
calling competitions and these females will come up and Darryl, Darryl,
get in here dinner time, Darryl, how are we going
to be calling the dog?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
What was that?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
That was my That was my Daryl, that's that, that's
my husband in this in this situation, Daryl, give me.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I don't think Darryl heard you. Could you tell me.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
He's here, he's here? I don't see. I would love
to hear shanky. Maybe. How would you call the hogs
before tomorrow and you get training on how to actually
do it?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
How would you call I'm refusing to tell you, no,
bring your hogs home right now?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Would you call them? No?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Daryl's still out mowing the lawn, Daryl, Darryll. I have
no idea how to call a hog.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I feel like maybe back in my Phoenix on tavern days,
I called a few hogs across.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I don't know how to call a hog. I don't
think I have any experience outside of that.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Well, I'm I'm a little worried, you know, because I
like you. I've been training for this Haybeil competition for
a while. Not sure how to call the hogs, but
ham days. The KSR Live Remote is brought to you
by Lebanon Tourism and the Johnny Rocker Law Offics gets
small town compassion with big city results when you call
the Rocker. They've been a great sponsor on the KSR
pregame shows with Ryan Lemon, and we will see them
(11:21):
again tomorrow in Lebanon. Despite whatever competition that we do,
I do also want to thank people that text the
text line five O two two sixty five six six
five six. Always enjoy interacting with our listeners, but we
also get podcast listeners, so a wave of responses come
later in the day. And got some help on the
whole phone storage stuff, Shann. I don't know if people
(11:42):
have been hitting you up too, Yes, but I had
a big tip that freed up about thirteen gigs of
memory on my phone. Shannon. Remember I went through and
deleted eight the eight thousand photos and barely moved my storage. Yeah,
well I went to recently deleted photos.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
You have to delete that too.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
You got to delete them again, Okay, Yeah, yeah, I
did know that. I was aware of that. Okay, sorry again,
I know a lot of this.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
I appreciate the solutions that are being offered, but I
was already aware of I think just about all of
those solutions. And my phone is still in that situation.
I thought, I just need to throw it up against
a wall or something, maybe pour some cocon it.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Well, you know, you break that phone, you start over, right.
I mean, if you don't have it backed up, you
were going to go back to like asking people their
numbers and not, you know, not being able to interact
in the same way that you do. As long as
you don't get an Android chain, it will be fine.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
So I did go to the Amazon Photos app. If
you have Amazon Prime, I think this is a thing
that you can use and it basically backs up all
of your photos. I don't know that it will do.
It'll do some video, but not all your videos. So
some of your video you may just have to either
keep it on your phone or delete it. But it
won't go after a certain limit on videos over to
(12:53):
the Amazon Photos app. Okay, but just photos alone, it
will carry those over. So that's something that maybe you
should check out.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
About My eight minute ham Day's video from last year,
when I won the Haybell tosses that taking up too
much storage?
Speaker 4 (13:05):
I think that's what the leading. I've never even seen
that video. I don't know that video. I think I
would just.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Delete it, you know, thrust me up in the air
and celebration after I win. You Yeah, exactly exactly. I mean,
be calling those hogs instead.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Are you going to do that?
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Or do you feel like that's just anti Kentucky to
call the hogs. I don't think Drew was on board
with it.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
No, he wasn't. You know. I get that that translates
to radio a little bit better, but but I don't know.
It does feel very John Calipari, does it? Not like
we definitely wouldn't be doing it if it.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Was Arkansas to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Can we call the cats cat calling? Cat calling? That
should be the thing you've heard of cat calling?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yeah, but we're not supposed to be cat calling, are
we shaying? Well? Is that not?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
That's that's not uh politically corrective. Can't cat call? I'm
not talking about females. I'm talking about actual cats. The
cats are not going going to get offended.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Okay, Yeah, a little came here, kitty.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Yeah, like you know, you could use your Darryl voice. Yeah,
go ahead, is your here here?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Kitty kitty?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Oh, that's you could do better.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
No, no, no, I'm not gonna tell you how I
would do it, because you know what that would give
away the scene?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Wow? Yeah, okay, all right, well we're not even doing
that competition, so sorry. You can't get chanted the dude
to do a voice or do have any fun here
on the first segment.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
No, no, I'm luddy. You called Darryl d all get into.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Here, Darryl, all right, I'm done eight five nine two
eight oh two two eight seven, Texas five oh two
two six five six six five six. Some coaching changes
in college football, could there be one in Lexington coming soon?
And also a retirement that will touch your heart. We'll
talk about that and much more here on this Wednesday
edition of the KSR pre Show. Ah Little Tom t Hall,
(14:52):
I believe On the KSR pre Show, Who's Gonna Feed
Them Hogs? Popular song we play after Kentucky Arkansas games.
Didn't play it after the one in ropp Arena this
past year. Kentucky's got to win that game. I mean,
that's that was the one blemish on the on the
resume last year, was it not?
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Well, that was definitely one of them. We said they
had to win it. They didn't win.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Oh, that's all we said last year was just win
that game, and then the opposite happens. They lose it
but still end up making the Sweet sixteen. We got
some news when it comes to college basketball, but we'll
get to that in a little bit. I want to
get to a firing that happened in college football just yesterday, Shannon.
Mike Gundhy is fired from Oklahoma State after twenty one
(15:34):
years as the head coach of his alma mater. Some
great moments in Mike Gundy's time, whether it be I'm
a man, I'm forty, the rant of the press conference.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Now he's a man, he's fifty eight. He's really an
old man.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Now, man at this point, look at my life. Also,
the mullet that he had for quite a long time, Shannon,
not what it used to be anymore today, But man,
when that thing was in its prime, it was flowing.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
There's a waterfall. That was a great looking mullet.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Shannon, the dude ever have a mullet? No? Absolutely, no,
I certainly did.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Well I could see that.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, I got the length the hair for it. But
twenty one years ahead, coach, that's a long time after
Mike Gundy was fired. Mark Stoops, who is the longest
tenured coach in the SEC, has now become the fifth
longest tenured coach in Power for Conference or Power for
College Football, fifth longest tenured coach of all time, or well, no,
(16:28):
fifth longest tenured current coach right now in college football active. Yeah, yeah,
and really it feels like there's some similarities in Mike
Gundy's career at Oklahoma State to what Mark Stoops is
doing at Kentucky. A lot of success, you're able to
have a long time out of school, but things are
starting to sputter. Now do you see a similar thing
happening to Stoops is what's happening to Mike Gundy right now?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Maybe a little bit, but you know at Kentucky football.
I mean, I forget who it was. It said this
on a podcast. I saw this as I was scrolling
through social media, but the person said, basically, Mark Stoops
has it figured out. You can go to Kentucky and
you can win seven games and everybody's happy. So I
feel like part of keeping your job is the expectations
(17:15):
for the program that you're taking over. So, for instance,
at Kentucky, Mark Stoops, can you know, win seven games
one year, win six, the next, win eight, win ten,
then win four and still keep his job because well,
the bar is a little bit lower at Kentucky than
it is if you went to let's say, in Alabama
or a Georgia. If you go to Alabama or Georgia
(17:35):
and you have that kind of record, you're gone. So
Mark Stoops has done just enough to be able to
keep his job and to be able to keep everybody happy.
And of course he's got that buyout that's always lingering
in the background too. So yeah, maybe a little bit
of similarity between Gundi and Stoops.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I could see that.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Well, I think you're talking about this Josh Peyt guy
or something like that. He calls himself the commissioner of
college football. He's bald.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I might have been he said that, Yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
He was him talking about it, saying Kentucky is the
best job in college football. Best job. Mark Stoops makes
eleven million dollars a year and the expectation is to
win seven games. He's got to figure it out. And yeah,
We've been saying that for a little while. I mean,
he certainly does. But with the news of a nine
game conference schedule on the horizon and the SEC releasing
(18:21):
just yesterday which opponents each SEC team will play in
the next four years, it may be a while before
we see another ten win season from Kentucky. It may
just be the reality. Yeah, I mean, just in general,
here for the twenty twenty six schedule. If you thought
twenty twenty five was hard, twenty twenty six, Kentucky will
obviously play Florida at Saaleth Carolina and at Tennessee. Then
(18:43):
they have home games versus Bama, LSU, and Vandy, and
then road games at Missouri, at Texas, A and M
and at Oklahoma in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah, I mean that's tough, but I mean that's life
in the SEC. Every game's gonna be tough. It doesn't
really matter.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Now.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
The combination of having Bama New LSU back to back, well,
I guess that's going to be the case. We don't know,
Like I guess they could sprinkle in one of those
non conference.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Games Ama, LSU, A and M.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Yeah, Aklahoma at Tennessee, Bama LSU at least those games
are at home. Not that that really helps us too
much because we haven't been very good at home in
the SEC at all. But yeah, I mean going to nine,
I mean that's the fight. That's the argument that Mitch
Barnhart was trying to make to try to keep it
at eight, just because Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Needs those four non conference games.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
It will give an opportunity for people to go on
some pretty cool road trips and that can be some
of the best experiences in sports, like the Stoops Bowl
maybe in Norman, Oklahoma, or being able to go see
The Twelfth Man at Texas A and M next year.
But man, that is a tough slate man. That is
the reason why Mitch Barnhart and Mark Stoops had been
fighting for that am game conference schedule so hard. And
(19:50):
if you want to bet on any of those games
this year or next year, you can do it on Draftking.

Offer Let's go to the Phones eight five nine two
eight h two two eight seven. Who do we cut it?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
First? We've got Keaton from Arkansas.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Hey, Keaton, what's up? Keaton? Hey?
Speaker 6 (21:04):
How are you guys doing?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Good? Man?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Are you in our First of all, are you in
a wind tunnel? Because we can that's all we hear
is wind?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
There we go.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Sorry, Yeah, definitely do not call the Hogs. Being a
Kentucky fan here's hard enough. But yeah, with that schedule
they I don't know what the twenty million dollars if
they need to like less than that, because we're gonna
have to give all of that to football just to
be like a prominent program in the SEC side. Need
(21:37):
I think they need to start giving a lot of
that to the other sports and maybe lesson on football
even though I love football, But yeah, I don't. I
don't see how we're going to be over seven and
five or even eight and four year to year with
the type of schedules they're coming up against.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
They definitely have to stay competitive in what they're allowed
to give the players and how they divide that up.
And we appreciate the call of Keaton. We gotta let
you go up a Yeah, you're not gonna get recruits right,
if you don't have the money to allocate. But you know,
Mark Stoops said that he was happy, he was satisfied
with the amount of money that they're getting. So it
seems like Mitch Barnhard is dividing that up and making
it fair for him, at least giving him a fighting chance.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Kentucky's one of the few schools that aren't releasing those numbers.
A lot of the universities are saying, this team's getting
this percentage, this team's getting this percentage. Kentucky is not
one of those teams. But an interesting remark. We'll take
a break, be right back here on the KSR apprecio.
All right, welcome back. You can call us anytime a
five nine two eight zero two two eighty seven. We'll
get to the phones lines here in just a second.
(22:39):
Shannon Michael Porter Junior is a player in the NBA.
He's now on the Brooklyn Nets, and yesterday he said
he spends two hundred and fifty dollars a day on
Uber rides since moving to New York. If you do
the math, that's about ninety one thousand dollars a year.
She made thirty three million last year, so I think
He's fine for it, But do you think that's a
(22:59):
common occurrence? People uber and taxis every day to get
to where they want to go.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
I guess, so, like, you know, if you're him, you
just don't want to. I don't know, like how far
he lives away from the practice facility or the stadium
or whatever. Yeah, I mean, if you're in New York,
that's how you have to kind of travel. I don't
think you're just gonna jump on a subway for two
dollars and fifty cents with everybody else.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
So really, what is your other option?
Speaker 4 (23:23):
I mean, unless you have a car, I guess you
could drive yourself, but who wants to drive their New
York traffic? I think if I live there, I probably
would just for me with my salary, I would be
on the subway every day.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
You'd be on the same Okay, well I get it.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yeah, I don't have ninety one thousand dollars to spend
on ubers, I'm saying off my salary.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Now.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
If I were him, I'd probably be doing the same thing.
But that's still a lot of money to him, though,
when you're making millions and millions, probably not that much.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
But yeah, and I saw that figure ninety one thousand
on just Uber drive rides and thought, wow, I am
not in the right business. But that cost of living
in New York's just different. I have never been to
New York, so it's just impossible to own a car there.
I mean.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Now they're doing like serge pricing, like where you can
jump on a certain road, but you got to pay
extra to be on the road.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I have my own car and I have to pay
to be on the road.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Oh yeah, yeah. What's their way of trying to cut
down on traffic?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Yeah, so yeah, it's called surge traffic New York City.
There's certain roads you can jump on that has less
traffic obviously because it's not free to get on that,
and it's like it's like paying a toll basically to
be on there.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Wow, it's like the carpool lane on steroids a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, I know people in that car pool lane don't
have more than one person in their car sometimes. But
if people are paying to use a road, you better
have paid for it before you use it or they
will find out and ticket you. I'm sure.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Let's see here, I'm just scrolling through it, says the
toll for passenger and small commercial vehicles paying with the
valid easy pass nine dollars during peak period. So would
you pay nine dollars to be able to get out
of traffic? I feel like, I don't know, man.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Nine dollars.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I know a lot of people that want nine bucks.
I kind of feel like that might be worth it.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I might splurge and use that every now and then,
definitely if there's traffic, and maybe I'm a little late.
I know some people that might use it every time.
But that's that is interesting. We won't even be driving
cars for sixty years from now, Shannon, it'll be all
Tesla's and self driving cars. Yeah, yeah, exactly, it'll be electric.
Let's take some calls eight five nine two O two
two eight seven. Who's up next?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Let's go to Sean Hey.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Sean Hey, Sean Hey.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
When I was a kid, my grandpa he raised hogs
and uh, if somebody come to buy one, he would
call the.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Hogs and I will call them for you. But you
might want to turn the volume down in your in
your headphones.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Okay, all right, I'm gonna turn you down a little
bit on the board here, all right, give us the
calling of the hog sean, come out.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Come out, come.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
They came in every time.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
He done that, so you could just see hogs come out,
come out, come out.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Comone, come on, come on, come on, come.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
On, come on, come on.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Okay, come on.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
I'll remember that if we do it tomorrow. Okay, all right,
thank you, thanks for the call show. I feel like
it's more of the inflection and the voice than what
you say. Yeah, because they don't know English. Hey, idiots,
come out here.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
You know.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
You could say that and they would walk out, just
the same as if you call them a hog.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I mean, I think hogs can recognize words, Shannon. You
call them hogs long enough they know that you're talking
to them, right, and then they hear their name, they
come calling. Right.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Can I use the F word when I'm talking to
the hogs.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Not on our radio.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
I'm talking about fat? Can you see tat? Come on,
you fat hogs? You can't say that, Like, if I
degrade the hogs, will they not come out?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
They will be none the wiser if you do grade.
That's what I compliment.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
That's my point.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
They don't know what you're saying, So I'm just going
to degrade the hogs. And call them out and see
if they, you know, respond to me or not. It's
like being nice to AI. You could be nice to
your AI if you want to, but it doesn't really know.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, I'm gonna be nice to my AI because they'll
remember that when they take over.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Oh you think so?
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah? I think Drew's the same way. It's like, you know,
if you say please and thank you on your AI, No,
when they take over, they'll say, hey, I remember that guy. Okay,
Speaking of AI, Old Navy has debuted their new AI
powered dressing rooms. Do you use dressing rooms when you
go shopping for clothes?
Speaker 4 (27:23):
The last time I've been to an Old Navy and
especially in a dressing room, well, you know what, there
is one in Florida that I've been to I think recently.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
So yeah, what what was it?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
What's the AI? You go into the dressing room and
the AI screen can help you run a price check.
It can you can request a different size or even
shop for similar styles, all without having to leave the stall.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
There's a screen in there. See. Now That's where I.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Don't trust it because for all I know, I could
be streamed live on somebody's only fans while I'm stripping
down in this old Navy dressing.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Room, so secret cams and the there's going to be
a bigger lawsuit than the normal at that point. I
guess a lot of people feel insecure or frustrated when
they use dressing rooms generally, So this is old Navy
solution to that.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Oh AI is going to coddle you and help you
feel better. Like, hey, AI, how do I look in
this I've already walked.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
To the fitting room. I can't walk out to find
a different size.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Well, that's what I usually do, Like whoever i'm with,
I'll just get a second opinion. Yeah, no, you got
to come out and do a little runway, like how
do we look here?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I'm not asking AI for its opinion.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
No, I don't think as given opinions in there, or
that could be a slippery slope of course, going to
tell you I look fat in this dress?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Hey, I was gonna say, no, you look wondery.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Have you been so silent? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
You're not in Why was the buttons flying off the shirt?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I cannot tell a lot? So I don't know. Maybe
a solution to a problem that doesn't need to be fixed,
if I've ever heard one. Let's take another call, dude,
whos up there? Hey Joe?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Yeah, thank you, gentlemen. Big football weekend for Louis Way
and Kentucky. Man. I kind of was hoping we get
to play Pittsburgh this week, but now we get we
get South Carolina. Why why the Billa gets the tough Panthers?
So it is what it is. We're in the SEC.
We got to fight the fight. So heck, we've had
(29:18):
a week off, gentlemen, And you know what South Carolina's
going to do the Cutter Bowlie. They're gonna send about
eight guys on that bliss And can we have a
tight end or running back pick up those blisters or
maybe even a wide receiver. I mean, my gosh, I
know our five offensive linemen are going to get blamed
when Cutter gets sacked. A lot of times gentlemen, it's
(29:40):
a defensive back or a linebacker or running back or
tight end don't pick him up. So that's why I
want to watch this weekend. Can our tight end and
running backs and wide receiver block anybody? And if they can,
we just might go to South Carolina and get a victory.
Good luck to the Cars. To go.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
No cars, no, no good luck to the cards, no
thank you Joe, but no on the sentiment there at
the end.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
I think it's gonna be a run heavy offense for Kentucky.
I think they're gonna run a lot and just try
to run the ball down their throat. I think that
their use of cutter is going to be very sparingly,
especially in the first half.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
I think they're going to just just run.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
A little bit of groundhoul Day and you they're saying
that they're going to be run heavy. That feels like
every game in the Mark Stoops era. But Kentucky, you know,
you think that they'd have a little bit of time
to prep with the bye week. Cutter Bowlie, he'd played
against Eastern Michigan. He's got that under his belt. But
Kentucky always it hasn't been the best after a bye week, Shannon, I.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Mean, no, no, We've talked about that.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Their record is six and ten under Mark Stoops, five
and nine when going into SEC games, so it has
not been good at all.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I guess the silver lining of South Carolina has not
looked good either. They got blown out by Vanderbilt, they
lose to Missouri, Leonora Sellars is still probably the second
quarterback taking off the board in the next NFL draft
if he ves for the NFL. But you know, Shane
Biemer had high expectations this year and right now they
I believe sitting at five hundred. Cutter Bowlly though, talking
to the media, sayd he's been waiting his whole life
(31:10):
for this, Shannon, I mean, come on.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Yeah, I mean this is a great opportunity for him
to go into a hostile environment and really solidify himself
as the quarterback in the future, as Mark Stoops has
been calling him. So if you want to see what
you got for your future, I think this may be
a good look at it.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Coming up on Saturday, and a.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Kid that's been wearing Kentucky jerseys this whole life, right,
goes to high school in Kentucky to now start your
first SEC game Eastern Michigan's one thing, but doing it
on the road in one of the better environments in
the SEC too, Remember Sandstorm and.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Oh yeah yeah, all those.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Rooster crowings are going to be going on. So not
the easiest place for a young quarterback to start, but
exciting opportunity for the kid, right, You can't help, but
be excited and happy for somebody that has been a
lifelong fan like that achieve their dreams. Let's keep it rolling.
I think we've got some more on the phone right shore. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Good to Adam.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Hey, Adam, Hey, what's up?
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Guys? I think talking about you know, calling the hogs?
Did the hogs even know their name? It posed me
back to you all. Had a conversation on KSR about
like the Derby and does the horse even know it's
in a race?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Yeah, it's just running with other horses. It doesn't know it. Well,
I think it knows it's in a race, but does
it know it's in the Kentucky Derby?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Doesn't?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
That's that's my line. Yeah, I think it knows it's racing,
but does it know this race is bigger than the others?
I mean maybe it sees more people than normal, but
I don't know if it registers. What do you think, Adam?
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Yeah, I don't think it does. It's an animal that
I'm sure it has awareness of things, but you know
that's not that type of awareness, not human awareness. But
I also wanted to ask you all, how excited are you?
Twenty twenty eight, Texas A and M will make its
first appearance in Lexington on the football field after sixteen
(32:57):
years in the conference.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Now, how is that even possible?
Speaker 1 (33:00):
That is?
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Is that true? I haven't even thought about that? Is that?
Did you like to am?
Speaker 5 (33:05):
Not them to Lecxington? Texas A and M has not
visited Lexington since they've joined the conference.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Well yeah, that's a scheduling snaffoo.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Somebody should have fixed that a long time A conferences.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Yeah, I guess. I mean, I mean, you know, I'm
excited that Kentucky fans will get to go to Texas
A and M in twenty twenty six and experience that environment.
But that is bizarre. Sixteen years they've never been here.
And that's part of what this nine game conference schedule
helps with. You're going to be able to if you
spend four years at Kentucky play each team in the
conference home and.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Away, right, Yeah? And you know, just looking at the schedule,
I mean, I like the three that they got, So
I'm not going to complain about the three permanent opponents
Florida South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
I mean, I feel like that's fair. I mean, you
got to play somebody in the SEC. So give me
those three all day. I mean, you know, I think
a lot of people want it Vandy, but again, we
don't know what their situation is going to look like.
They may be a team that's on the up tick
for the next few years. So yeah, I could see
that being a situation to where maybe Vandy is a
better team than South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Okay, pumped the breaks? What what? What?
Speaker 3 (34:07):
What?
Speaker 1 (34:08):
What? What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Pump the breaks? They just destroyed South.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
They did, they did, But you're running. You're riding the
Diego Pavia train here. I mean, okay, I'm right, weaped
the goalpost down, and now you're gonna beat South Carolina
for eternity? Please, I mean you'll be back to four
or five wins.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Do you think so?
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Yeah, Okay, we'll see about that. I'm talking about the
new coaching staff. I think that has a lot to
do with it.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I will say it might have been easier for Kentucky
to get wins, but I'm glad that Mississippi State is
not one of those three common opponents. Shannon is less
cow bell as possible. Why would you not want Mississippi State?
They suck, They suck. But I'm tired of the Cowbells.
I don't want to go to Starkville every other year.
I mean, that is not a team that.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
I would I would go to Starkville and deal with
the Cowbells in exchange for an SEC win.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, I don't know. I know.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Okay, Well, you're not going anywhere. You're sitting behind a
producer's desk.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
I'm in the I'm in the studio, Dan, what do
you care?
Speaker 2 (35:00):
So?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
It does not matter to me? Speaking of the SEC
we talked about wit weeks yesterday. It was an LSU
linebacker that is dating Lane Kiffin's daughter and the week
that Ole Miss and LSU play. He's been taking some liberties. Well,
tonight a thirty for thirty ESPN documentary about Lane Kiffin
errs The Many Lives of Lane Kiffin. I caught a
(35:22):
preview of it or a trailer yesterday, and it's just
you gotta remind yourself how bizarre that situation was in
Tennessee for Lane Kiffin, where he stays for one year,
he does a press conference to announce that he's leaving
in like the middle of the night. I'm looking forward
to it, honestly. The documentary of one of the more
entertaining coaches in the SEC.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
He's definitely quite a character. So I'm looking forward to
seeing that as well.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Aimed his son Knox while he was there.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Probably thinking now is it too late to change his name,
call him something else?
Speaker 1 (35:53):
No, No, he's he's addressed it, I think since and
he's like, oh, we still love him the same Knox Oxford.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
I mean they just you know, you still at the
old that's in there.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Not very creative.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Yeah, I mean how about Knoxford?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Mm no, no, no, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
You take Oxford and Knox, you can bond the two
you get in Oxford.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Yeah, do you want to call the Hogs? Maybe, Shannon,
now that you've been inspired by one of our callers,
how would you call the hogs?
Speaker 2 (36:18):
No, come here, you fat hog. I'm calling it.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
I don't know. We're saying, all right, we're gonna take
a break eight five nine two eighth two two eight seven.
Uh storming here in Lexington, Kentucky. I don't know what's
going on in Louisville, but rain's coming down here. We
will take a break. One final segment here on the
casrpre show. All right, looking forward to calling the Hogs, tomorrow,
I may just throw a bela hay out of spite, Shannon,
(36:44):
who knows if I keep them out of my way tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Oh, you're trying to You're trying to keep the hogs
away by hitting them with a BELLA.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Hey, I might, I might throw it. So far, I
do want to wish the best for sister Jean Delora Schmidt,
the one hundred and six year old chaplain of Lawdyola Chicago,
has officially retired. She is no longer able to be
physically present on campus, according to the Loyola of Chicago president.
So wishing the best to Sister Jean. Haven't seen her
(37:11):
tweet or anything announcing the retirement, but I do want
to wish her some good vibe.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Well, you know, she's been busy.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
When she's working all the time, you don't have time
to sit around and tweet. She's being the chapelain. She's
blessing everybody with her.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Present hundred and sixty years old. Though, I mean, what
do you mean, what are you doing? You're not answer
an email?
Speaker 2 (37:26):
She just wrote a book? Was it a year or
two ago? She wrote a book?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Now she did?
Speaker 4 (37:30):
I didn't even Here's the thing, A lot of you
chumps out there. You're retiring at sixty five years old,
all right, Sister Jean went another forty one years, all right.
That is going above and beyond retiring at one hundred
and six. If anybody ever deserved a retirement in this world,
it's a woman who is one hundred and six years
old who gave her life to Loyola Chicago. And I
(37:51):
just want to say happy retirement to sister Geene. Yeah,
because just because she's retired though, doesn't mean she can't tweet.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
So maybe she will tweet.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Okay, maybe we'll see for sure.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
More time to clearer schedule out the tweet.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
That's right. Well, I mean that'll just be the generation
younger than me. That'll be the norm. One hundred and
six is when you retire, not getting any social security,
working until the end of your.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Working in radio. You work to your one hundred and
six and still can't retire.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Yeah, that's what I'm expecting to do too. Also, this
was an international story, Shannon. It made me think of
something that I often think about. Harry Styles, the former
One Direction Pop singer, ran in the Berlin Marathon last week.
Fifty five thousand participants he went under the name Stead
Serenate Sirrandos Stead Sirrandos Harry Styles run the Berlin Marathon
(38:40):
under actually did a pretty good job, run under three
hours two fifty nine thirteen. He's thirty one years old.
It makes me think these mega popular people just want
to get outside every now and then.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Right, was he wearing like glasses and a mustache and.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Glasses and like a whole get up, but not like
the tape on mustache or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, I it'd be hard to run in you know,
you get.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Started lining the street at the end of the marathon
once it was reported that he was out there running.
But I mean, I can't even probably go out to
eat right without people stopping you when you're mega famous.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
These people that love to run marathons, I don't know, man.
I think that's sadistic that you love to do it
like I did it for money. That's the reason I
did it, and to prove Matt Jones wrong. And that
was walking, not running. People that just go out and
run for fun like I did that. I did so
much running in college. I never want to run again
in my life.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
I'm the same way they say that there is a
runner's high when you're really getting into it. Change. I
have a walker's low.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
I can get us sit on the couch high. I
don't need to run. I don't need to runners high.
I can get high just as much sitting there watching exercise.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Though. You know, I do see people like bleed from exactly.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
That's what I'm talking about. You're running so much, you're bleeding. Yeah,
these people just love it.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
They say they're chafing. I'm just I'm not sure. Is
that because you're wearing a shirt then you're running. Did
you have any of that happened on your fifty mile walk?
Speaker 4 (40:07):
No, No, I'm a pro. I came, came ready to go.
I had the powder and everything.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Oh, and had some nipple tape probably too well.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
I was worried about chafing in other places. So I
you know remember that well we had that sponsor.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Was it nut dust?
Speaker 1 (40:22):
I remember nut dust?
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (40:23):
I used a little bit of that, and then you
did yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
I did love how everybody came together, you know, whether
it be the people that offered you the shoes or
the insoles in your shoes, or our listeners carrying the
equipment that.
Speaker 4 (40:35):
Day, I had somebody come up to me just a
week or two ago at a remote and said, Hey,
I was one of those crazy people that was out
there playing music and honking my horn during your walk.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
You know.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
It's one of those things that I think everybody will
remember forever.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Oh it should be.
Speaker 4 (40:48):
I mean, like when we write the history of things
that happened in Kentucky, I think that the shame of
the dude fifty mile walk has got to be in there.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
It's got to have its own chapter.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
And if we were to rank it, I would say
Billy's Haybails Championship would be right above it, probably though,
But I haven't gotten my own day in Lebanon or
anything like that, unlike.
Speaker 4 (41:06):
Shannon, who Well, maybe you can call those hogs tomorrow
and get the bill sports.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Those are call some hogs.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Coke and I've got to spill my coke on my phone. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (41:15):
Hey, Yes, DraftKings promo code KSR bet five dollars, you're

Speaker 1 (41:33):
Right, appreciate everybody listening to this Wednesday edition of the
KSR pre Show. Today will be a busy day. Myself
and Drew will interview or we'll record with Matt the
NFL Show, maybe his news podcast as well, so you'll
hear a little bit from him a little bit later.
But coming up next Ryan and Drew, Shannon as well.
Ksr's next for Shannon the Dude. I'm Billy Rutledge. He's
been the KSR pre Show. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show.
Today is Wednesday, September twenty fourth. I'm Billy Rutledge along
with Shannon the Dude. You can give us a call
in the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line. That's eight five
nine two Aho two two eight seven Texas at five
oh two two six five six six five six be
our whiskey Thief call of the day. And as always,
(00:22):
the KSR pre Show is brought to you by Italics
Fine Italian Dining in Lexington, Kentucky at the City Center
in Lexington. My co host, Shannon the Dude is in
a Louisville Bats hat today. He's in Louisville. What's up, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Goodnes say, Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Man?
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Yeah, just uh, my way of supporting the Cincinnati Reds,
who are now a game back from the wild Card.
I don't have a Red hat, but I've got a
lovel Bats hat on, and I've got no ill will
against the Reds, although the Reds fans seem not to
like me, because you know, I was at that Braves
game and I tweeted out some things and.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Oh that's when you were standing and mocking reeple as
the Braves were winning, right.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Reds fans are just attacking me, And here I am
actually trying to root for the Reds to get in,
just to show that there's no ill will.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I've got the level bats head on today whose season
just ended?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
What a guy? Yeah, what a guy? You are sharing
supporting the Reds even though they lose to the Pirates
last night, while the Mets come back to beat the Cubs,
so they have lost control of the wild card spot
as of now.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Well, here's the thing, Like, the Reds have the tiebreaker,
so they don't necessarily have to win the wild card.
All they have to do is just tie for the
wild card and they'll still get it by default because
of the tiebreaker. The Mets, on the other end, have
to win it out right.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
They can't finish tied with the Reds, otherwise they'll be out.
Reds will be in, So they have to finish a
game ahead. So the pressure is still on the Mets.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, And as baseball winds down to the postseason, last
week of the regular season, a lot of sports going on,
and we'll talk a lot of sports today, whether it
be Kentucky men's basketball, some of the practice clips that
they've been releasing Kentucky football, and the season schedules for
the next what three to four years have come out
for common opponents or at least conference opponents.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah, we'll get to all that before.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
I just want to say one other thing about baseball
real quick, because I know they probably won't come back
to it. But have you seen this epic collapse of
the Detroit Tigers.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
No, no, what happened?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
So the Guardians just beat the Tigers yesterday. The Guardians
were down ten and a half games on September first
and are now tied for the NL Central.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
What.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Let that sink in for a minute. They were down
ten and a half games on September the first and
now tied.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
The Guardians are I think, nine and one in their
last ten. The Tigers are one and nine in their
last ten. So that's how quickly it can flip.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Wow. I know the Tigers were pretty good all year
and so collapse late in the year. You got to
be playing your best baseball in the fall. Crazy, and
they are not doing that. I got a couple more
baseball notes we can get to today, Shannon, including the
implementation of the automated Ball Strike Challenge system starting in
twenty twenty six. As we get closer to computers and
AI running the sports that we love, I do want
(03:01):
to say I'm at my house today might sound a
little bit different, Shannon. We had a little bit of
change of plans late, not in the studio this morning.
Last night, the fiance goes, hey, I think we should
go to the gym in the morning, you know, get
bit to it, pushing and pulling, you know what I mean? Shannon.
So I'm like, all right, So I set my alarm
for six am. We'll get there at six thirty, work
out for an hour, we'll be back at seven thirty,
(03:21):
plenty of time to get ready for the KSR pre
show at nine. Sounds good, right, Sure? Yeah, Well I
set my alarm for six pm, not six am.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Sure well, she didn't wake up either.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
No, she didn't wake up either. I didn't wake up
till late. So we did. We pulled an audible and
now we're here doing the show here from the second
floor of Lexington of my house. Shannon. So the old
wrong ampm for the reason why I'm not going to
the gym at six am this morning, You've done that before.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Well, yes I have, and I did it one time
when it was daylight saving time, so the hour had flipped.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I guess that Saturday.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
And this was before we had well I mean, I
had a cell phone, but I didn't use the cell
phone as my alarm as I do now. But this
is back when I was still using like the old
school alarm clock. Yeah you hate that sound, you know.
And so I had set the alarm to wake up,
but I didn't adjust the clock because the daylight saved and.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Then woke up late and slept through half the Leach report.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
That oh you're not alone, I mean left that day
and whether you're either springing forward or falling back, I mean,
I think people give a little bit of leadiency from
those people that don't set their clock right that day.
But one of these days we're just going to eliminate that, Shannon.
We'll fall back or we'll spring forward, and we'll stay forward, hopefully.
But we've been saying that for the entire length of
(04:41):
the KSR pre show, So not getting my hopes up
too much. I do want to commend Drew leading KSR yesterday.
I thought he did a great job. You guys were
joined by Dennis Johnson, the former Kentucky player and father
of Jasper. Yesterday, I thought it was a good show.
It's not easy leading the show, is it, Shannon. I mean,
it's definitely a different role than maybe the one that
(05:02):
Ryan and Drew normally play when Matt is on the show.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Well, you and I, you know, we flip back and
forth each day on who drives the show. I don't
know if there's another show out there that does that.
Usually the host is the host. You and I, I
think are sort of a unique dynamic or unicorn. We
are within the fact that you can do one day,
I can do the next, and we can both lead
the show and the show will be fine regardless of
who drives it. So yeah, yeah, I think you did
(05:24):
a good job. And you know, that's not something that
he's used to doing. So when you're you know, put
in that situation, it can be a little difficult.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, make sure you do plenty of research.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
You got to make sure you have plenty of topics,
because when you're driving the show, the last thing you
want to do is run out of things to say.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
No, that's it, that's it.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
You know, Like like if you're driving the show like
you are today. I just react to what you say
you're bringing the topics. I just react to what topics
we're talking about. But when you're driving the show, you
got to make sure you're not just prepared, but over prepared.
Like when I put together show prep, I make sure
I have more than enough, like stuff that I have
(06:01):
stuff on my phone that we could talk about right
now that have been leftover topics for weeks.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Oh so you've got the Evergreen Tops. Oh yeah, for sure,
that our backup. So when you run out of things
to say or don't know where to go next, you've
always got this.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Well yeah, because let's say Billy our Sports decides to
sleep through the lead not the lead report, but the
ksrpre show. Let's say Billy just decides to sleep through
this show, which sometimes I wonder if you are, because
you don't pay attention to work now. And so then
in that case, I could just go to my topics
list and I got a full show I could do
right now, just on the spot.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Now.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
They may not be topics that would be the best
for this show, but you know what, they're something to
talk about, and I'm not just sitting here staring at
the microphone, not able to say anything.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I wish I would have gotten that advice back in
twenty twenty one, because I was thrown to the fire
when we were flipping who was hosting this show, back
when we first started running out of topics, not knowing
what to say. I will give credit to Matt. He's
really good at talking about the things around him. You know,
KSR is at their best when you guys travel, right,
you're on the road these road trips, and that allows
(07:05):
Matt to build, you know, a show to some show topics,
but also talk about the drunk guide throwing corn hole
during the KSR postcam show, things like that. That's right,
So those guys were fun in Milwaukee and you just
jumped in. Oh yeah, I smoked them too. Oh you did.
I didn't know you. You killed them too?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I don't think that was mentioned on the air, but
that's what happened. So tomorrow, Oh yeah, I don't know
if you want to talk about this now or not,
but we're talking about competition.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
And we can talk about it if you want, so
I understand.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Okay, So tomorrow we're going to be at ham Day's.
I love Ham Days. Love Kentucky ham Days. We'll talk
more about it tomorrow. But that's something I had gone
to with my grandparents all the way back to when
I was a little kid.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
So I love ham Days.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
But you told me that you were going to put
your haybell tossing trophy on the line.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
And now come to find out that's not true. What
are you? Chicken?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
We're not doing the haybell toss anymore? What's going on?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
So?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I got a text yesterday, do you need anything before
the remote? You know, making sure everything's in line, you know,
crossing our te's dot in our eyes, and like yep,
And we're real excited for the haybell toss. You know,
I'm ready to go. I've been working on my technique
and I was told that we are not going to
be having a haybell toss this year? What for reasons
(08:30):
that I do not know.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
See, I've been working out with beach Body all year long,
trying to build a little extra muscle so I could
throw that haybell farther than anybody and beat you and
take your trophy and rub it in your face. And
now here we are a day before we find out
We're not even going to have the competition.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Trust me, I've been squeezing this victory for three hundred
and sixty two days. I know this has been the
maybe crowning achievement of the last calendar year for Billy
r Sports. But told yesterday we will not have a
haybel toss us. We will instead, and they have already
created a trophy and gotten it engraved, we will have
(09:06):
a hog calling competition.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Now what in the Arkansas Razorbacks is a hog calling competition?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Like?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Do we need like John Calipari? He knows how to
do call the hogs? Should we get him over here
to maybe help? He should be an expert at that
by now.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, So I sent that to the group chat. Not
everybody on board about calling the hogs. Maybe because it's
a little bit like John Calipari. Ryan seemed to think
this was perfect for some reason. I'm not sure how
you call a hog.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Well I'm not either, but wu pig suey.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Can we just default to not doing the hog calling
contest and just give the trophy to Billy?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Just say, Billy, you went again. There you go. Let's
get give Billy a participation. Troll.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
No, no, no, you know, these trophies are to be earned.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I have seen state fairs where they will do husband
calling competitions and these females will come up and Darryl, Darryl,
get in here dinner time, Darryl, how are we going
to be calling the dog?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
What was that?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
That was my That was my Daryl, that's that, that's
my husband in this in this situation, Daryl, give me.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I don't think Darryl heard you. Could you tell me.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
He's here, he's here? I don't see. I would love
to hear shanky. Maybe. How would you call the hogs
before tomorrow and you get training on how to actually
do it?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
How would you call I'm refusing to tell you, no,
bring your hogs home right now?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Would you call them? No?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Daryl's still out mowing the lawn, Daryl, Darryll. I have
no idea how to call a hog.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I feel like maybe back in my Phoenix on tavern days,
I called a few hogs across.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I don't know how to call a hog. I don't
think I have any experience outside of that.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Well, I'm I'm a little worried, you know, because I
like you. I've been training for this Haybeil competition for
a while. Not sure how to call the hogs, but
ham days. The KSR Live Remote is brought to you
by Lebanon Tourism and the Johnny Rocker Law Offics gets
small town compassion with big city results when you call
the Rocker. They've been a great sponsor on the KSR
pregame shows with Ryan Lemon, and we will see them
(11:21):
again tomorrow in Lebanon. Despite whatever competition that we do,
I do also want to thank people that text the
text line five O two two sixty five six six
five six. Always enjoy interacting with our listeners, but we
also get podcast listeners, so a wave of responses come
later in the day. And got some help on the
whole phone storage stuff, Shann. I don't know if people
(11:42):
have been hitting you up too, Yes, but I had
a big tip that freed up about thirteen gigs of
memory on my phone. Shannon. Remember I went through and
deleted eight the eight thousand photos and barely moved my storage. Yeah,
well I went to recently deleted photos.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
You have to delete that too.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
You got to delete them again, Okay, Yeah, yeah, I
did know that. I was aware of that. Okay, sorry again,
I know a lot of this.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
I appreciate the solutions that are being offered, but I
was already aware of I think just about all of
those solutions. And my phone is still in that situation.
I thought, I just need to throw it up against
a wall or something, maybe pour some cocon it.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Well, you know, you break that phone, you start over, right.
I mean, if you don't have it backed up, you
were going to go back to like asking people their
numbers and not, you know, not being able to interact
in the same way that you do. As long as
you don't get an Android chain, it will be fine.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
So I did go to the Amazon Photos app. If
you have Amazon Prime, I think this is a thing
that you can use and it basically backs up all
of your photos. I don't know that it will do.
It'll do some video, but not all your videos. So
some of your video you may just have to either
keep it on your phone or delete it. But it
won't go after a certain limit on videos over to
(12:53):
the Amazon Photos app. Okay, but just photos alone, it
will carry those over. So that's something that maybe you
should check out.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
About My eight minute ham Day's video from last year,
when I won the Haybell tosses that taking up too
much storage?
Speaker 4 (13:05):
I think that's what the leading. I've never even seen
that video. I don't know that video. I think I
would just.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Delete it, you know, thrust me up in the air
and celebration after I win. You Yeah, exactly exactly. I mean,
be calling those hogs instead.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Are you going to do that?
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Or do you feel like that's just anti Kentucky to
call the hogs. I don't think Drew was on board
with it.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
No, he wasn't. You know. I get that that translates
to radio a little bit better, but but I don't know.
It does feel very John Calipari, does it? Not like
we definitely wouldn't be doing it if it.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Was Arkansas to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Can we call the cats cat calling? Cat calling? That
should be the thing you've heard of cat calling?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yeah, but we're not supposed to be cat calling, are
we shaying? Well? Is that not?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
That's that's not uh politically corrective. Can't cat call? I'm
not talking about females. I'm talking about actual cats. The
cats are not going going to get offended.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Okay, Yeah, a little came here, kitty.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Yeah, like you know, you could use your Darryl voice. Yeah,
go ahead, is your here here?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Kitty kitty?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Oh, that's you could do better.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
No, no, no, I'm not gonna tell you how I
would do it, because you know what that would give
away the scene?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Wow? Yeah, okay, all right, well we're not even doing
that competition, so sorry. You can't get chanted the dude
to do a voice or do have any fun here
on the first segment.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
No, no, I'm luddy. You called Darryl d all get into.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Here, Darryl, all right, I'm done eight five nine two
eight oh two two eight seven, Texas five oh two
two six five six six five six. Some coaching changes
in college football, could there be one in Lexington coming soon?
And also a retirement that will touch your heart. We'll
talk about that and much more here on this Wednesday
edition of the KSR pre Show. Ah Little Tom t Hall,
(14:52):
I believe On the KSR pre Show, Who's Gonna Feed
Them Hogs? Popular song we play after Kentucky Arkansas games.
Didn't play it after the one in ropp Arena this
past year. Kentucky's got to win that game. I mean,
that's that was the one blemish on the on the
resume last year, was it not?
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Well, that was definitely one of them. We said they
had to win it. They didn't win.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Oh, that's all we said last year was just win
that game, and then the opposite happens. They lose it
but still end up making the Sweet sixteen. We got
some news when it comes to college basketball, but we'll
get to that in a little bit. I want to
get to a firing that happened in college football just yesterday, Shannon.
Mike Gundhy is fired from Oklahoma State after twenty one
(15:34):
years as the head coach of his alma mater. Some
great moments in Mike Gundy's time, whether it be I'm
a man, I'm forty, the rant of the press conference.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Now he's a man, he's fifty eight. He's really an
old man.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Now, man at this point, look at my life. Also,
the mullet that he had for quite a long time, Shannon,
not what it used to be anymore today, But man,
when that thing was in its prime, it was flowing.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
There's a waterfall. That was a great looking mullet.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Shannon, the dude ever have a mullet? No? Absolutely, no,
I certainly did.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Well I could see that.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, I got the length the hair for it. But
twenty one years ahead, coach, that's a long time after
Mike Gundy was fired. Mark Stoops, who is the longest
tenured coach in the SEC, has now become the fifth
longest tenured coach in Power for Conference or Power for
College Football, fifth longest tenured coach of all time, or well, no,
(16:28):
fifth longest tenured current coach right now in college football active. Yeah, yeah,
and really it feels like there's some similarities in Mike
Gundy's career at Oklahoma State to what Mark Stoops is
doing at Kentucky. A lot of success, you're able to
have a long time out of school, but things are
starting to sputter. Now do you see a similar thing
happening to Stoops is what's happening to Mike Gundy right now?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Maybe a little bit, but you know at Kentucky football.
I mean, I forget who it was. It said this
on a podcast. I saw this as I was scrolling
through social media, but the person said, basically, Mark Stoops
has it figured out. You can go to Kentucky and
you can win seven games and everybody's happy. So I
feel like part of keeping your job is the expectations
(17:15):
for the program that you're taking over. So, for instance,
at Kentucky, Mark Stoops, can you know, win seven games
one year, win six, the next, win eight, win ten,
then win four and still keep his job because well,
the bar is a little bit lower at Kentucky than
it is if you went to let's say, in Alabama
or a Georgia. If you go to Alabama or Georgia
(17:35):
and you have that kind of record, you're gone. So
Mark Stoops has done just enough to be able to
keep his job and to be able to keep everybody happy.
And of course he's got that buyout that's always lingering
in the background too. So yeah, maybe a little bit
of similarity between Gundi and Stoops.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I could see that.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Well, I think you're talking about this Josh Peyt guy
or something like that. He calls himself the commissioner of
college football. He's bald.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I might have been he said that, Yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
He was him talking about it, saying Kentucky is the
best job in college football. Best job. Mark Stoops makes
eleven million dollars a year and the expectation is to
win seven games. He's got to figure it out. And yeah,
We've been saying that for a little while. I mean,
he certainly does. But with the news of a nine
game conference schedule on the horizon and the SEC releasing
(18:21):
just yesterday which opponents each SEC team will play in
the next four years, it may be a while before
we see another ten win season from Kentucky. It may
just be the reality. Yeah, I mean, just in general,
here for the twenty twenty six schedule. If you thought
twenty twenty five was hard, twenty twenty six, Kentucky will
obviously play Florida at Saaleth Carolina and at Tennessee. Then
(18:43):
they have home games versus Bama, LSU, and Vandy, and
then road games at Missouri, at Texas, A and M
and at Oklahoma in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah, I mean that's tough, but I mean that's life
in the SEC. Every game's gonna be tough. It doesn't
really matter.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Now.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
The combination of having Bama New LSU back to back, well,
I guess that's going to be the case. We don't know,
Like I guess they could sprinkle in one of those
non conference.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Games Ama, LSU, A and M.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Yeah, Aklahoma at Tennessee, Bama LSU at least those games
are at home. Not that that really helps us too
much because we haven't been very good at home in
the SEC at all. But yeah, I mean going to nine,
I mean that's the fight. That's the argument that Mitch
Barnhart was trying to make to try to keep it
at eight, just because Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Needs those four non conference games.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
It will give an opportunity for people to go on
some pretty cool road trips and that can be some
of the best experiences in sports, like the Stoops Bowl
maybe in Norman, Oklahoma, or being able to go see
The Twelfth Man at Texas A and M next year.
But man, that is a tough slate man. That is
the reason why Mitch Barnhart and Mark Stoops had been
fighting for that am game conference schedule so hard. And
(19:50):
if you want to bet on any of those games
this year or next year, you can do it on Draftking.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
First? We've got Keaton from Arkansas.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Hey, Keaton, what's up? Keaton? Hey?
Speaker 6 (21:04):
How are you guys doing?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Good? Man?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Are you in our First of all, are you in
a wind tunnel? Because we can that's all we hear
is wind?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
There we go.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Sorry, Yeah, definitely do not call the Hogs. Being a
Kentucky fan here's hard enough. But yeah, with that schedule
they I don't know what the twenty million dollars if
they need to like less than that, because we're gonna
have to give all of that to football just to
be like a prominent program in the SEC side. Need
(21:37):
I think they need to start giving a lot of
that to the other sports and maybe lesson on football
even though I love football, But yeah, I don't. I
don't see how we're going to be over seven and
five or even eight and four year to year with
the type of schedules they're coming up against.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
They definitely have to stay competitive in what they're allowed
to give the players and how they divide that up.
And we appreciate the call of Keaton. We gotta let
you go up a Yeah, you're not gonna get recruits right,
if you don't have the money to allocate. But you know,
Mark Stoops said that he was happy, he was satisfied
with the amount of money that they're getting. So it
seems like Mitch Barnhard is dividing that up and making
it fair for him, at least giving him a fighting chance.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Kentucky's one of the few schools that aren't releasing those numbers.
A lot of the universities are saying, this team's getting
this percentage, this team's getting this percentage. Kentucky is not
one of those teams. But an interesting remark. We'll take
a break, be right back here on the KSR apprecio.
All right, welcome back. You can call us anytime a
five nine two eight zero two two eighty seven. We'll
get to the phones lines here in just a second.
(22:39):
Shannon Michael Porter Junior is a player in the NBA.
He's now on the Brooklyn Nets, and yesterday he said
he spends two hundred and fifty dollars a day on
Uber rides since moving to New York. If you do
the math, that's about ninety one thousand dollars a year.
She made thirty three million last year, so I think
He's fine for it, But do you think that's a
(22:59):
common occurrence? People uber and taxis every day to get
to where they want to go.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
I guess, so, like, you know, if you're him, you
just don't want to. I don't know, like how far
he lives away from the practice facility or the stadium
or whatever. Yeah, I mean, if you're in New York,
that's how you have to kind of travel. I don't
think you're just gonna jump on a subway for two
dollars and fifty cents with everybody else.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
So really, what is your other option?
Speaker 4 (23:23):
I mean, unless you have a car, I guess you
could drive yourself, but who wants to drive their New
York traffic? I think if I live there, I probably
would just for me with my salary, I would be
on the subway every day.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
You'd be on the same Okay, well I get it.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yeah, I don't have ninety one thousand dollars to spend
on ubers, I'm saying off my salary.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Now.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
If I were him, I'd probably be doing the same thing.
But that's still a lot of money to him, though,
when you're making millions and millions, probably not that much.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
But yeah, and I saw that figure ninety one thousand
on just Uber drive rides and thought, wow, I am
not in the right business. But that cost of living
in New York's just different. I have never been to
New York, so it's just impossible to own a car there.
I mean.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Now they're doing like serge pricing, like where you can
jump on a certain road, but you got to pay
extra to be on the road.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I have my own car and I have to pay
to be on the road.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Oh yeah, yeah. What's their way of trying to cut
down on traffic?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Yeah, so yeah, it's called surge traffic New York City.
There's certain roads you can jump on that has less
traffic obviously because it's not free to get on that,
and it's like it's like paying a toll basically to
be on there.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Wow, it's like the carpool lane on steroids a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, I know people in that car pool lane don't
have more than one person in their car sometimes. But
if people are paying to use a road, you better
have paid for it before you use it or they
will find out and ticket you. I'm sure.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Let's see here, I'm just scrolling through it, says the
toll for passenger and small commercial vehicles paying with the
valid easy pass nine dollars during peak period. So would
you pay nine dollars to be able to get out
of traffic? I feel like, I don't know, man.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Nine dollars.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I know a lot of people that want nine bucks.
I kind of feel like that might be worth it.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I might splurge and use that every now and then,
definitely if there's traffic, and maybe I'm a little late.
I know some people that might use it every time.
But that's that is interesting. We won't even be driving
cars for sixty years from now, Shannon, it'll be all
Tesla's and self driving cars. Yeah, yeah, exactly, it'll be electric.
Let's take some calls eight five nine two O two
two eight seven. Who's up next?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Let's go to Sean Hey.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Sean Hey, Sean Hey.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
When I was a kid, my grandpa he raised hogs
and uh, if somebody come to buy one, he would
call the.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Hogs and I will call them for you. But you
might want to turn the volume down in your in
your headphones.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Okay, all right, I'm gonna turn you down a little
bit on the board here, all right, give us the
calling of the hog sean, come out.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Come out, come.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
They came in every time.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
He done that, so you could just see hogs come out,
come out, come out.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Comone, come on, come on, come on, come.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
On, come on, come on.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Okay, come on.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
I'll remember that if we do it tomorrow. Okay, all right,
thank you, thanks for the call show. I feel like
it's more of the inflection and the voice than what
you say. Yeah, because they don't know English. Hey, idiots,
come out here.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
You know.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
You could say that and they would walk out, just
the same as if you call them a hog.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I mean, I think hogs can recognize words, Shannon. You
call them hogs long enough they know that you're talking
to them, right, and then they hear their name, they
come calling. Right.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Can I use the F word when I'm talking to
the hogs.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Not on our radio.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
I'm talking about fat? Can you see tat? Come on,
you fat hogs? You can't say that, Like, if I
degrade the hogs, will they not come out?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
They will be none the wiser if you do grade.
That's what I compliment.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
That's my point.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
They don't know what you're saying, So I'm just going
to degrade the hogs. And call them out and see
if they, you know, respond to me or not. It's
like being nice to AI. You could be nice to
your AI if you want to, but it doesn't really know.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, I'm gonna be nice to my AI because they'll
remember that when they take over.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Oh you think so?
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah? I think Drew's the same way. It's like, you know,
if you say please and thank you on your AI, No,
when they take over, they'll say, hey, I remember that guy. Okay,
Speaking of AI, Old Navy has debuted their new AI
powered dressing rooms. Do you use dressing rooms when you
go shopping for clothes?
Speaker 4 (27:23):
The last time I've been to an Old Navy and
especially in a dressing room, well, you know what, there
is one in Florida that I've been to I think recently.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
So yeah, what what was it?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
What's the AI? You go into the dressing room and
the AI screen can help you run a price check.
It can you can request a different size or even
shop for similar styles, all without having to leave the stall.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
There's a screen in there. See. Now That's where I.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Don't trust it because for all I know, I could
be streamed live on somebody's only fans while I'm stripping
down in this old Navy dressing.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Room, so secret cams and the there's going to be
a bigger lawsuit than the normal at that point. I
guess a lot of people feel insecure or frustrated when
they use dressing rooms generally, So this is old Navy
solution to that.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Oh AI is going to coddle you and help you
feel better. Like, hey, AI, how do I look in
this I've already walked.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
To the fitting room. I can't walk out to find
a different size.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Well, that's what I usually do, Like whoever i'm with,
I'll just get a second opinion. Yeah, no, you got
to come out and do a little runway, like how
do we look here?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I'm not asking AI for its opinion.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
No, I don't think as given opinions in there, or
that could be a slippery slope of course, going to
tell you I look fat in this dress?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Hey, I was gonna say, no, you look wondery.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Have you been so silent? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
You're not in Why was the buttons flying off the shirt?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I cannot tell a lot? So I don't know. Maybe
a solution to a problem that doesn't need to be fixed,
if I've ever heard one. Let's take another call, dude,
whos up there? Hey Joe?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Yeah, thank you, gentlemen. Big football weekend for Louis Way
and Kentucky. Man. I kind of was hoping we get
to play Pittsburgh this week, but now we get we
get South Carolina. Why why the Billa gets the tough Panthers?
So it is what it is. We're in the SEC.
We got to fight the fight. So heck, we've had
(29:18):
a week off, gentlemen, And you know what South Carolina's
going to do the Cutter Bowlie. They're gonna send about
eight guys on that bliss And can we have a
tight end or running back pick up those blisters or
maybe even a wide receiver. I mean, my gosh, I
know our five offensive linemen are going to get blamed
when Cutter gets sacked. A lot of times gentlemen, it's
(29:40):
a defensive back or a linebacker or running back or
tight end don't pick him up. So that's why I
want to watch this weekend. Can our tight end and
running backs and wide receiver block anybody? And if they can,
we just might go to South Carolina and get a victory.
Good luck to the Cars. To go.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
No cars, no, no good luck to the cards, no
thank you Joe, but no on the sentiment there at
the end.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
I think it's gonna be a run heavy offense for Kentucky.
I think they're gonna run a lot and just try
to run the ball down their throat. I think that
their use of cutter is going to be very sparingly,
especially in the first half.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
I think they're going to just just run.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
A little bit of groundhoul Day and you they're saying
that they're going to be run heavy. That feels like
every game in the Mark Stoops era. But Kentucky, you know,
you think that they'd have a little bit of time
to prep with the bye week. Cutter Bowlie, he'd played
against Eastern Michigan. He's got that under his belt. But
Kentucky always it hasn't been the best after a bye week, Shannon, I.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Mean, no, no, We've talked about that.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Their record is six and ten under Mark Stoops, five
and nine when going into SEC games, so it has
not been good at all.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I guess the silver lining of South Carolina has not
looked good either. They got blown out by Vanderbilt, they
lose to Missouri, Leonora Sellars is still probably the second
quarterback taking off the board in the next NFL draft
if he ves for the NFL. But you know, Shane
Biemer had high expectations this year and right now they
I believe sitting at five hundred. Cutter Bowlly though, talking
to the media, sayd he's been waiting his whole life
(31:10):
for this, Shannon, I mean, come on.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Yeah, I mean this is a great opportunity for him
to go into a hostile environment and really solidify himself
as the quarterback in the future, as Mark Stoops has
been calling him. So if you want to see what
you got for your future, I think this may be
a good look at it.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Coming up on Saturday, and a.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Kid that's been wearing Kentucky jerseys this whole life, right,
goes to high school in Kentucky to now start your
first SEC game Eastern Michigan's one thing, but doing it
on the road in one of the better environments in
the SEC too, Remember Sandstorm and.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Oh yeah yeah, all those.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Rooster crowings are going to be going on. So not
the easiest place for a young quarterback to start, but
exciting opportunity for the kid, right, You can't help, but
be excited and happy for somebody that has been a
lifelong fan like that achieve their dreams. Let's keep it rolling.
I think we've got some more on the phone right shore. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Good to Adam.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Hey, Adam, Hey, what's up?
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Guys? I think talking about you know, calling the hogs?
Did the hogs even know their name? It posed me
back to you all. Had a conversation on KSR about
like the Derby and does the horse even know it's
in a race?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Yeah, it's just running with other horses. It doesn't know it. Well,
I think it knows it's in a race, but does
it know it's in the Kentucky Derby?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Doesn't?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
That's that's my line. Yeah, I think it knows it's racing,
but does it know this race is bigger than the others?
I mean maybe it sees more people than normal, but
I don't know if it registers. What do you think, Adam?
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Yeah, I don't think it does. It's an animal that
I'm sure it has awareness of things, but you know
that's not that type of awareness, not human awareness. But
I also wanted to ask you all, how excited are you?
Twenty twenty eight, Texas A and M will make its
first appearance in Lexington on the football field after sixteen
(32:57):
years in the conference.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Now, how is that even possible?
Speaker 1 (33:00):
That is?
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Is that true? I haven't even thought about that? Is that?
Did you like to am?
Speaker 5 (33:05):
Not them to Lecxington? Texas A and M has not
visited Lexington since they've joined the conference.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Well yeah, that's a scheduling snaffoo.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Somebody should have fixed that a long time A conferences.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Yeah, I guess. I mean, I mean, you know, I'm
excited that Kentucky fans will get to go to Texas
A and M in twenty twenty six and experience that environment.
But that is bizarre. Sixteen years they've never been here.
And that's part of what this nine game conference schedule
helps with. You're going to be able to if you
spend four years at Kentucky play each team in the
conference home and.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Away, right, Yeah? And you know, just looking at the schedule,
I mean, I like the three that they got, So
I'm not going to complain about the three permanent opponents
Florida South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
I mean, I feel like that's fair. I mean, you
got to play somebody in the SEC. So give me
those three all day. I mean, you know, I think
a lot of people want it Vandy, but again, we
don't know what their situation is going to look like.
They may be a team that's on the up tick
for the next few years. So yeah, I could see
that being a situation to where maybe Vandy is a
better team than South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Okay, pumped the breaks? What what? What?
Speaker 3 (34:07):
What?
Speaker 1 (34:08):
What? What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Pump the breaks? They just destroyed South.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
They did, they did, But you're running. You're riding the
Diego Pavia train here. I mean, okay, I'm right, weaped
the goalpost down, and now you're gonna beat South Carolina
for eternity? Please, I mean you'll be back to four
or five wins.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Do you think so?
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Yeah, Okay, we'll see about that. I'm talking about the
new coaching staff. I think that has a lot to
do with it.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I will say it might have been easier for Kentucky
to get wins, but I'm glad that Mississippi State is
not one of those three common opponents. Shannon is less
cow bell as possible. Why would you not want Mississippi State?
They suck, They suck. But I'm tired of the Cowbells.
I don't want to go to Starkville every other year.
I mean, that is not a team that.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
I would I would go to Starkville and deal with
the Cowbells in exchange for an SEC win.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, I don't know. I know.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Okay, Well, you're not going anywhere. You're sitting behind a
producer's desk.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
I'm in the I'm in the studio, Dan, what do
you care?
Speaker 2 (35:00):
So?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
It does not matter to me? Speaking of the SEC
we talked about wit weeks yesterday. It was an LSU
linebacker that is dating Lane Kiffin's daughter and the week
that Ole Miss and LSU play. He's been taking some liberties. Well,
tonight a thirty for thirty ESPN documentary about Lane Kiffin
errs The Many Lives of Lane Kiffin. I caught a
(35:22):
preview of it or a trailer yesterday, and it's just
you gotta remind yourself how bizarre that situation was in
Tennessee for Lane Kiffin, where he stays for one year,
he does a press conference to announce that he's leaving
in like the middle of the night. I'm looking forward
to it, honestly. The documentary of one of the more
entertaining coaches in the SEC.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
He's definitely quite a character. So I'm looking forward to
seeing that as well.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Aimed his son Knox while he was there.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Probably thinking now is it too late to change his name,
call him something else?
Speaker 1 (35:53):
No, No, he's he's addressed it, I think since and
he's like, oh, we still love him the same Knox Oxford.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
I mean they just you know, you still at the
old that's in there.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Not very creative.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Yeah, I mean how about Knoxford?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Mm no, no, no, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
You take Oxford and Knox, you can bond the two
you get in Oxford.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Yeah, do you want to call the Hogs? Maybe, Shannon,
now that you've been inspired by one of our callers,
how would you call the hogs?
Speaker 2 (36:18):
No, come here, you fat hog. I'm calling it.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
I don't know. We're saying, all right, we're gonna take
a break eight five nine two eighth two two eight seven.
Uh storming here in Lexington, Kentucky. I don't know what's
going on in Louisville, but rain's coming down here. We
will take a break. One final segment here on the
casrpre show. All right, looking forward to calling the Hogs, tomorrow,
I may just throw a bela hay out of spite, Shannon,
(36:44):
who knows if I keep them out of my way tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Oh, you're trying to You're trying to keep the hogs
away by hitting them with a BELLA.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Hey, I might, I might throw it. So far, I
do want to wish the best for sister Jean Delora Schmidt,
the one hundred and six year old chaplain of Lawdyola Chicago,
has officially retired. She is no longer able to be
physically present on campus, according to the Loyola of Chicago president.
So wishing the best to Sister Jean. Haven't seen her
(37:11):
tweet or anything announcing the retirement, but I do want
to wish her some good vibe.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Well, you know, she's been busy.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
When she's working all the time, you don't have time
to sit around and tweet. She's being the chapelain. She's
blessing everybody with her.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Present hundred and sixty years old. Though, I mean, what
do you mean, what are you doing? You're not answer
an email?
Speaker 2 (37:26):
She just wrote a book? Was it a year or
two ago? She wrote a book?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Now she did?
Speaker 4 (37:30):
I didn't even Here's the thing, A lot of you
chumps out there. You're retiring at sixty five years old,
all right, Sister Jean went another forty one years, all right.
That is going above and beyond retiring at one hundred
and six. If anybody ever deserved a retirement in this world,
it's a woman who is one hundred and six years
old who gave her life to Loyola Chicago. And I
(37:51):
just want to say happy retirement to sister Geene. Yeah,
because just because she's retired though, doesn't mean she can't tweet.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
So maybe she will tweet.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Okay, maybe we'll see for sure.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
More time to clearer schedule out the tweet.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
That's right. Well, I mean that'll just be the generation
younger than me. That'll be the norm. One hundred and
six is when you retire, not getting any social security,
working until the end of your.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Working in radio. You work to your one hundred and
six and still can't retire.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Yeah, that's what I'm expecting to do too. Also, this
was an international story, Shannon. It made me think of
something that I often think about. Harry Styles, the former
One Direction Pop singer, ran in the Berlin Marathon last week.
Fifty five thousand participants he went under the name Stead
Serenate Sirrandos Stead Sirrandos Harry Styles run the Berlin Marathon
(38:40):
under actually did a pretty good job, run under three
hours two fifty nine thirteen. He's thirty one years old.
It makes me think these mega popular people just want
to get outside every now and then.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Right, was he wearing like glasses and a mustache and.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Glasses and like a whole get up, but not like
the tape on mustache or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, I it'd be hard to run in you know,
you get.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Started lining the street at the end of the marathon
once it was reported that he was out there running.
But I mean, I can't even probably go out to
eat right without people stopping you when you're mega famous.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
These people that love to run marathons, I don't know, man.
I think that's sadistic that you love to do it
like I did it for money. That's the reason I
did it, and to prove Matt Jones wrong. And that
was walking, not running. People that just go out and
run for fun like I did that. I did so
much running in college. I never want to run again
in my life.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
I'm the same way they say that there is a
runner's high when you're really getting into it. Change. I
have a walker's low.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
I can get us sit on the couch high. I
don't need to run. I don't need to runners high.
I can get high just as much sitting there watching exercise.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Though. You know, I do see people like bleed from exactly.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
That's what I'm talking about. You're running so much, you're bleeding. Yeah,
these people just love it.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
They say they're chafing. I'm just I'm not sure. Is
that because you're wearing a shirt then you're running. Did
you have any of that happened on your fifty mile walk?
Speaker 4 (40:07):
No, No, I'm a pro. I came, came ready to go.
I had the powder and everything.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Oh, and had some nipple tape probably too well.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
I was worried about chafing in other places. So I
you know remember that well we had that sponsor.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Was it nut dust?
Speaker 1 (40:22):
I remember nut dust?
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (40:23):
I used a little bit of that, and then you
did yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
I did love how everybody came together, you know, whether
it be the people that offered you the shoes or
the insoles in your shoes, or our listeners carrying the
equipment that.
Speaker 4 (40:35):
Day, I had somebody come up to me just a
week or two ago at a remote and said, Hey,
I was one of those crazy people that was out
there playing music and honking my horn during your walk.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
You know.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
It's one of those things that I think everybody will
remember forever.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Oh it should be.
Speaker 4 (40:48):
I mean, like when we write the history of things
that happened in Kentucky, I think that the shame of
the dude fifty mile walk has got to be in there.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
It's got to have its own chapter.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
And if we were to rank it, I would say
Billy's Haybails Championship would be right above it, probably though,
But I haven't gotten my own day in Lebanon or
anything like that, unlike.
Speaker 4 (41:06):
Shannon, who Well, maybe you can call those hogs tomorrow
and get the bill sports.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Those are call some hogs.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Coke and I've got to spill my coke on my phone. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (41:15):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
