(00:20):
and is always The KSR pre Show is brought to
you by Italics Fine Italian dining right here in Lexington
at the City Center on Main Street. That's where I'm
at today here on the seventh floor. No window in
my studio, but Shannon the Dude is who I see
on my computer screen.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
What's up? Co host? How are you? Hey man? Doing well?
Doing well? Ready for some baseball today? Today?

Speaker 3 (00:42):
In for Major League Baseball, it's kind of like the
first day of the NCAA Tournament.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
For college basketball.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
You get baseball going on from one o'clock today all
the way up until probably midnight with the Reds and
the Dodgers later on.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah, get yourself an afternoon nap in today so you
can stay up and watch Red's Dodgers. That starts a
little after nine pm tonight. On ESPN. We've also got Tigers, Guardians, Padres, Cubs,
Red Sox, Yankees. So yeah, full slate of games. So
you can even be distracted at work because the first
game starts at one ching. Is that what you're gonna
be doing while you're doing your WQ shift and everything.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Like WAKQQ and Q and a half. Yes, I will
be watching those games. And and you know you say
take a nap, there's really no time to take a nap.
You got the one o'clock game, the A three o'clock game,
the No. Six o'clock game, than the nine o'clock game.
It's all day long for the next three days. And
now I'm really looking forward to even though my Braves
aren't in the playoffs, and I can't get my head

(01:37):
around how you have that much talent on your team
and can't make the playoffs. But nonetheless, the teams that
are in I will be watching, and I'll be pulling
for the Reds. I don't think they're gonna do it,
but would be cool if they did.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
It is David versus Goliath. It feels like it, right.
I mean, the Dodgers have won thirteen of the last
fourteen NL West title division titles. Meanwhile, the Reds have
two total playoff wins since their last series win in
nineteen ninety five. Think about that, two games. Yeah, I've
only won since then in ninety five. You remember who
knocked him out, don't you?

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Who is that? The Atlanta Braves. Yeah, Shannon the dude.
I'm living in the nineties because that's the best I
can do. Right now.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
You're gonna go watch some full house before you watch
the Reds Dodgers game later tonight, So yeah, I will
definitely be tuned in as well. Some specials at Chos
Bar if you'd like to go watch the game there.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
What is it? The Great American Burger?

Speaker 3 (02:32):
That's right, yep, the Great American Burger. We have a
special on and then if you wear any Cincinnati Reds gear,
you get a free side of fries.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
So think about that.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
You go in there, you can get the Great American
Burger at Chaos Bar and Grill. Then you can bring
your you know, wear a Red's hat or a jersey
or whatever it might be, and you get a free
side of fries. I mean, that's the best deal in
all of Kentucky when it comes to restaurants.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Has got to be heck of a deal.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
So you can do that at Chaos Bar and Grill
today and maybe even later this week. I think it's
Tuesday through Thursday. Dusty Bonner was at KOs Bar and
Grill joining the guys yesterday. I thought he did a
good job talking about Kentucky football. We did a lot
of that yesterday. It's gonna be Richie and Buck hosting
KSR a little later today.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
I mean, what could go wrong here?

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Well, nothing, because well Richie's great Richie was just on
the KSR pre show the week you were out and
he does a great job, so he'll have no problems.
And then his buddy Buck. It's gonna be a lot
of fun too. So really looking forward to that show
coming up later on today. That's from ten till noon.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
You know, I saw those guys at the Volunteers of
America show that we had in Louisville recently. Shannon, and
you know, I think we started talking in the second
segment of KSR and we stopped talking around near like
the sixth or seventh. I mean we just went on
and had a great conversation. You could talk to those
guys about anything, and they did such a good job
hosting ks A the first time. I mean, they're gonna
fit right in today, don't you think.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yeah, we gotta give Ryan a lot of crap for
not putting Richie Farmer on his his all our team
for Kentucky. I mean, I just I can't let that
just slip by. I know we brought it up yesterday,
but it's just it's weighing heavy on my mind, the
disrespect that Ryan just gave Richie Farmer live on the
radio on Friday at Bywater Farm.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
We can't let him forget about that.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Come only Ryan being the historian of Kentucky sports, such
a high school basketball officionado. You know, Richie dominated this
state for quite a while and has been nice enough
to join us on the pre show a couple of times.
Is Richie gonna play? I'm not sure, but he will
be hosting KSR later today with Buck Uh.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
We'll playing. We'll be playing on Ryan's team. He wasn't
even on the squad, couldn't even make the roster.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
He could even make the bench, right, I mean, he
wouldn't even agree He's I mean miss Rex Chapman as well.
Wasn't the best showing from our guy Ryan. But nevertheless,
he's done a good job.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
So I just wonder how he's gonna look Richie Farmer
in the eye today when he shows up a chaos
bar and knowing that he didn't pick him.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
On his team.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yeah, it's gonna be tell it's gonna be a litt awkward.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
It's sor right though, I'm here for it.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
So Shannon, yesterday was the Mark Stoops Call in Show.
But after the Stoops Call in Show, I got to
tell you about what I did. I gotta tell you
what I did with a co worker. We went out
to a nightclub on a Monday night in Lexington, Kentucky.
First of all night clubs.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
I don't even know that night clubs still exist. The
night clubs really still exist. Like when I think night clubs,
I'm thinking like dance floor DJ, you know, dimly lit,
Like they're not serving food at a night club. It's
all about you know, sugary alcoholic drinks in a dance floor.
That's a nightclub for me. You're telling me you went

(05:41):
to a night club. Where do you find a night
club in twenty twenty five? Because I can't find to
a nightclub. Last night with DJ otis badass. We had
uh we had dim lights, we had a dance floor,
we had a live band.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
I felt like I was in a Blues Brothers movie. Shannon,
I got to give a shout out to TD's Lounge
and TD Young. He is an R and B legend
in the city of Lexington, Kentucky. TD's Lounge is off
of East Second Street. I didn't know what to expect
when Beau was bringing me out there, but Shannon, They're
only open on Monday nights. TD is a rhythm and

(06:14):
blues guitarist and man, it was incredible. It's he puts
on a show for like two or three hours, and
anybody can come up on stage with them, any musicians,
anybody that wants to sing. Just think of the movie
Blues Brothers, this scene that they have with Aretha Franklin
where they just keep playing music and people just keep
coming in and out of the barbershop.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Shit.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
It was an incredible experience. I have may found. I
have found a hidden gem in Lexington, Kentucky of TD's
Lounge only open on Monday's nights. If you can handle,
you know, waking up the next day and going to work,
you might have found the newest, or not the newest,
but the coolest night club in Lexington, Kentucky.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
I'm gonna have to bring you to this, Shannon.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
I'm looking at it right now. I'm seeing like white tablecloth.
Is it fancy?

Speaker 2 (07:00):
No?

Speaker 1 (07:00):
No, it is not fancy. It looked like picnic tables
with a white tablecloth.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
I keep scrolling, Okay, I see it looks like just
like regular folding tables with white table cloths on.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
It looks like it kind of looked like somebody's basement.
Possibly that's exactly what it was. I mean, it was
like a hole in the wall. You were like, where
am I at on this side of town? But you
know what, this nightclub is pretty damn cool. Ten dollars
cover to get in and just one of the cooler
experiences I've had in Lexington. There's something about live music, yeah,
but there's also about like improvised live music.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
And this guy just went on for hours and hours.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
It was incredible, And like I said, the only thing
I can relate it to was I was in the
Blues Brothers movie, and you know, part of me wanted
to go up there and start singing and banging.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
On the bongos. Or something. But you know, when I
knew my place.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Are you being shy? You should have went up there
and rocked it out with them. Looks like a cool place, though.
I definitely if they're playing live music on a Monday night,
that's my kind of place, because live music is hard
to find to spend throughout the week. You know, on
weekends you can find it a little easier. But I
love a place that has live music. Obviously, being a
musician myself, I'm going to I'm going to like that.
But on a Monday night, if you said, all right,

(08:11):
go find me a place that's got live music in Louisville,
I don't even know which direction I would point you in.
I mean, I'm sure there's some places and probably people
that are listening that can tell me that probably know
better than I do, But on a Monday night, I
don't know anywhere around here that you could find live music.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
I got to ask a guy like Ryan and Drew
if they've ever been to this place, because I mean,
it was awesome, and there's there's there's always it's always
fun watching live music, right, but like that improvised live
music just to keep doing a loop and you know,
the guy on the saxophone just playing whatever comes to mind.
It was just it was a vibe. There's no doubt
about it, Shannon. And you know, I know you're a

(08:46):
hard working man. But if you ever make it up
to Lexington, I think we've got to go make a
trip over there to teav I say.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, I'm all about it. I'm all about it.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
Now.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
How many mimosas did you have? Were you able to
get home?

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Okay, no, none, one of the most who are out
of vodka, Red Bull too, Billy our sports just had
one beer, one beer, Billy.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
One beer, I mean anymore.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
And I had been up on that stage with him
and you know, playing the Tamarine or something like that.
But yeah, you know he's asking people if they want
to come out into the crowd, take it to karaoke
times ten. I'm not getting up there. I'm not playing anything.
But I mean our guy Bo had been up there
in the past and sang. I mean, it was just
like an open invitation for anybody to come up there,
and and that.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Was pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
You know, I've given you an open invitation to come
up and sing with Alice Blue Gown. But for some reason,
you haven't taken us up on that. You know, we
do some incubis and you know incubus, but you didn't
get up there and do it with us. I said,
you're more than welcome to come up on stage and
show what's what you got, but you didn't do it.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Where was that billy confidence at? Huh?

Speaker 4 (09:43):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:43):
I remember I remember where I was at. I think
you were at Banners here in Lexington and you wanted
to play a little incubus. Pardon me, and there's Billy
he walks in. All right, Billy, come on up sing
this incubus song with us. No, I have not had
enough liquid courage for us. Walked into the show and
Chance already invited me to come on up. I mean,

(10:04):
you got to think you got to have a lot
of confidence and encouraged to go.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Oh you do. Man.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
You have to fool yourselves, and you have to fool
yourself into actually believing that you're entertaining the people in
front of you, and you have to play. Doesn't matter
if you're playing in front of twenty people or you know,
twenty thousand people. You have to kind of put on
the same performance. If you don't believe in yourself up
on stage. It's going to show and people aren't going
to enjoy it as much as if you're not having

(10:29):
fun up there yourself. When you're performing, you have to
have that confidence, and if you don't, then you might
as well not even be up there.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
I mean maybe that was part of it, because I
mean TD was playing with a joy, I mean just
just coming, weaving in and out of audience members. You've
got pictures of him and BB King on the wall
at TD's lounge, which was pretty cool. Shannon, You've done
shows at you know, Tin Roof in Nashville in front
of hundreds of people, or and you know KSR gets

(10:54):
thousands upon tens of thousands of listeners every day. How
is that different compared to like playing a show front
of somebody? I mean, is it the same for you
going up there on stage or is.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
It what do you mean like doing a radio show
versus playing a music show?

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, I mean do nerves still come to you the same?
Is there an ex same expectation to entertain? Like you're
talking about, the music.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Thing is actually easier than what we do on the radio,
because radio, I don't know what's going to come out
of my mouth next. You know, like there's no script here.
You and I are just riffing, We're just talking. So
doing a live radio show is a lot more difficult
than doing a band show because you already know, you've
already rehearsed, You already know. It's not like you and

(11:34):
I have sat down and did this show that we're
doing right now and practice ten times already. So when
I step up on stage with the band, we've already done,
We've already ran through the set ten times. At least
we already know what's coming next. So it's a lot
easier doing and a lot more enjoyable actually too, because
you can have fun and not have to fill any
stress or pressure when you're up there. But radio show,

(11:57):
yeah there's a lot of pressure because, like I said,
we don't really know where going next.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
A lot of times with the show.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
That's interesting, you know, maybe the you know, playing music
is more of a release a lot of emotion in it,
and like you said, you can exactly practice what you're
about to do. Meanwhile, we've got a couple notes written down,
but no pre show meeting. We're just coming here rolling
talking about what's we're.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Probably we're in probabn like the guy at TD's last
night you were talking about we're playing jazz right now.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
We don't know what's next. Neither do you.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
I'm telling you TD Man, I am. I am impressed, uh,
easily impressed. But TD Man, he killed it and enjoyed
that last night. Wherever you can play a little live
music eight five nine two eighth two two eight seven
text s at five O two two six five six
six five six I mentioned yesterday. I want to talk
about the Ryder Cup and the fans, the behavior from

(12:45):
the American Shannon. You're somebody that's kind of on the
fence about golf and everything, so I want to get
your take on some of the stuff. Maybe we need
a new segment with Bob and Jamestown where he just
gives us bird calls each week. Shannon, I seem to
enjoy that yesterday.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
What was it the barred barred owl? Why is the
owl bard? By the way, b A R R ed correct.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, so he's not allowed and yeah, maybe Barns or
something he became the bard.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
But apparently he's very territorial and take up forty acres.
I don't know if you're a barred owl, how do
you police forty acres? I mean, I know you got wings,
you can fly around, but that's still a lot of
ground to cover.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yeah, you know, these these predator birds have pretty good
eyes sight, Shannon, they tell me. So maybe the owl
is able to keep his eye on some stuff. But
maybe Bob would like to call back and give us
some more bird calls. We got a lot of responses
from that, and apparently Chee Cheese is hiring, so Shannon's days.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Are limited here.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Then on the radio show, I'm about to get my
side hustle on as soon as they bring that Chee
Cheese over here. I mean, come on, come in a
night you come into their night club. I'll be serving drinks.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Talk about a man in heaven if you have a
job in Chee Chee.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
We got much more fun on the way here on
a Tuesday edition of the cas Our pre show.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Will be right.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
But see, I know the words, but I don't have
the confidence to sing it.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
We're dabbling. Alice Blue Gun is dabbling with this song
right here. I wish you were here. By Incubus, we've
been kind of, you know, just rehearsing it a little bit.
I don't know that it's set list ready yet, but
maybe soon and when we get it ready to go
to play out Live, we'll bring you up there and we'll.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
See if okay, see if you got the courage to
do it. Next time we see you.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
I don't think you're going to be at our next show,
Popelick Park at the goat Man Festival, but we'll get
you maybe at another one.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Oh, we got to talk about goat Man too, brought
that up.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
You know what, I may save the goat Man for
tomorrow because I've got basically two hours to host tomorrow.
So I may say, if you want to jump on
with me and Drew and Ryan tomorrow and talk to
the goat Man, we can do that because I'll.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Be well, we can do it in the pre show.
I mean, I'll be there at your house tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
I'm just saying, like I got two hours to fiel,
I got to save some topics. I feel like I
could do thirty minutes on the goat Band.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
So you're hosting KSR tomorrow as we do the show
from from your garage bar that's right out your basement.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yep, that's right.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Excited for that. Also excited for the Reds baseball game
tonight against the Dodgers. We've got playoff baseball. Can you
believe the Reds make the playoffs and the Mets lose
to the Marlins in the final week.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
The Mets crump. I was ready.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
I saw this on I think it was DraftKings Twitter account,
and I might get this not exactly right, but I
think it was as of October first, I'm sorry, August first,
the Mets had a ninety five percent chance of making
the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Ninety I mean, think about that.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
That showed you just how much of a meltdown they
had over the last two months of the season. And
then the Guardians, you know, I was talking about that
as well, being fifteen and a half down midway through
the season, fifteen and a half games out of first place,
they come back, they catch the Tigers, Cleveland ends up
winning the division, and now they play each other in

(15:52):
the first round. So if you're Cleveland, you have like
the chance to just give them the ultimate embarrassment of
his season to not only come back from fifteen and
a half down and win the division and then turn
around and knock them out of the playoffs in the
first round. If you're a Tigers fan, you gotta be
hating life knowing that that's a possibility. Although on the
flip side of that, you have the chance that getting

(16:14):
some quick revenge if you're a Tigers fan too, to
knock out Cleveland and make it all for nothing.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
These are all three game series, I believe, and they're
all at the same site. So these three games will
all be played in LA in the same time every day. Shreds,
same time every day. Okay, so let's pick these games
because we've got four. Tonight it's Tigers at Guardians at
one pm. Anyway, the Tigers get their revenge for not
winning the division.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Well, the Tigers are on DraftKings are actually the favorite
to win. But I'm going to take Cleveland at home
for game one.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
What about you?

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Okay, I'm going Cleveland too. I mean, it's it's a
game of momentum right then, and Cleveland has all of
it right now.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
It's been quite the collapse. Like you said from.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Detroit, Padres are at the Cubs. This game is at
three pm today on ABC.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
I'm actually going with the Padres on this one. I
feel like San Diego just seems to turn it up
when it comes to postseason play Chicago, I mean, they're
a good team. I just don't know that I trust
Chicago and the playoffs. When was it twenty eighteen when
they finally won.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Their the World Series the curse? Was it eighteen or sixteen?

Speaker 3 (17:18):
I can't remember anyway, can't remember regardless one of those years,
I just don't believe in the Cubs.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
I think the Padres won this one.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Baseball is better when the Cubs are good. So for
that reason, I'll be written for the Cubs and the
Ivy Wall today at three pm. How about this rivalry
game at six pm? It's Red Sox at Yankees.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Yeah, I don't think there's any way that Max Freed,
he's the starting pitcher for the Yankees. I don't think
there's any way they lose with him on the mound
at home in Game one.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
So I'm going Yankees. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
I think it's the Evil Empire. And by the way,
Aaron Judge not just good this year or just last year,
but like historically, could be an all time great. I
think the amount of home runs this guy is hitting
in his batting average is incredible. And then Red's at
Dodgers tonight at nine PM, it's the night cap, yep,
I will.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Be pulling for the Reds. I think the Dodgers win.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
I think the Dodgers win straight like they win the
I think they win tomorrow too. So oh no, yeah, coming, no, eed,
I want the Reds to win.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Either the Reds will win, I'll be happy or I'll
be correct in my pick.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
So it's, you know, hedging your bets. Let's let's get
him till Thursday.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
So Matt's like trying to come back, and he's like
making it last minute to Kes Bar and Grill and
then it is what it is at that point. But
the Reds got it at least get one. Only two
playoff wins since nineteen ninety five, it's time to let's
break that.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
It's gonna be a really good pitching matchup too, Hunter Green,
Blake Snell. So don't expect a whole lot of runs.
If you scored.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, all those games can be bet on DraftKings and
the full slate today, So a little playoff baseball. Enjoy
it while you got it. As we here are here
on Tuesday, September thirtieth, Shannon, I did want to mention
the Ryder Cup and the behavior of some of the fans.
It was a hot topic over the weekend. A USA
MC led an fu Rory chant and had to resign

(19:12):
after Obviously, she got a ton of backlash, and rightly so.
The behavior of some fans towards European players like Rory
McElroy apparently crossed a line. It was unacceptable and abusive,
according to Rory. At one point, a fan threw a
drink at Rory's wife. They were squeaking rubber duckies mid swing.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
During the golf tournament. Shannon the rubber duckies thing. I
think you should be fine, Like, I'm alright with that.
What you can't do is throw a beer and hit,
you know, somebody in the back of the head.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Can't throw beers at anybody, no matter the sport, no
matter how much decorum you need to have.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Is she pregnant, you say, or does somebody else say that?

Speaker 3 (19:50):
I don't know if she's pregnant, but regardless, she can't
be hitting anybody in the back of the head with
a beer.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
There's a viral video going around that was released yesterday
of a guy saying a word you cannot say to
Rory as he's passing by. Rory shocked that even somebody
would even have the balls to say that. Yeah, immediately
points a Mounta and says, get this guy, Jaxon.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
That's the thing. This is why golf is the way
it is.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
You let people have their way and allow them to heckle,
and they go from zero to one hundred.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
You know, let's dial it back a little bit.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
You can still heckle in good fun without getting personal
and hitting people in the back of the that with
beer cans. And unfortunately, golf fans just can't control themselves.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
It sounds like, you know, you give.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Them a little bit of leeway and they want to
take it all the way to the extremes.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
It sounds like, no, you're exactly right.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
I mean, Drew and I pitched this to you as
a tournament where there was some heckling and there was
a little bit of back and forth and that's all
and that's fun when it's done the right way, and
it clearly wasn't by the USA fans. Uh embarrassing look
on the national stage. If you ask most people, there
is one bit of controversy that I need to address.

(20:56):
There was one player on Europe that could not play,
like slept on their neck, wronger something, Shannon. So instead
of a withdrawal and allowing USA to win the full
point in that match, they decided to split the match.
So when you're trying to get to a certain point
number that because they split the match, Europe got a
half a point closer to winning the tournament. In any

(21:17):
other sport, if you get hurt and you have to withdraw,
you loose. Yeah, but in the Ryder Cup they had
to split a match because a European player was injured
and could not play.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
So you're saying he didn't show up and still they
still got a half a point.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
They still got a half a point even though their
player could not play in the match.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yeah, that's a stupid rule. Stupidest you ever hurt.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
You don't show up, you don't get a point, you
don't get a half a point, you don't get a
tenth of a point. You should get a zero for
not showing up. Wam, I got a crick at my neck.
I can't play.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
What are we talking about? Like, if you can't play,
you can't play.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
That doesn't mean the other team has to give up
something because your team can't go.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
I thought it. It was ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
But in the spirit of the game, Shannon, the rule
is written that each team gets half a point because
that I guess that's how they do things in golf.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
What is a crick? By the way, that's the only
form I've ever heard of the word crick.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
It's like when you sleep on your neck wrong and
you wake up and it's you know it's going to
be a long day, right.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
But I've never heard anybody else say crik, Like, have
you ever used that word in any other form?

Speaker 1 (22:22):
No? No, not at all. Another body part. No, I
can't think of another thing in life. I would say
that for We'll take a break, bear it back, Welcome back.
It is the case our pre show. A young Billy
or sports would say this was his favorite song of
all time. Club I want to endance contest and after
school camp to this song?

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Yeah, you want to what a dance contest? You dance
to end the club?

Speaker 1 (22:47):
Fifty club won the dance contest? How did you dance?

Speaker 5 (22:51):
Like?

Speaker 2 (22:51):
What did you do?

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Is just shaking my butt? And most of the time
a lot of gyrating. It was like could say it
was kindergarten through maybe like eighth grade, So you got
a lot of younger kids with older kids. I was
younger at the time, did so much butt shake and they.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Were like, wow, that kid's good.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
They gave Billy the butt shaker. All right, we're finding
out a lot about you on the show today.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Another lifetime ago. So are you in kindergarten singing dancing
to this song?

Speaker 1 (23:19):
I would say it was more like, uh, maybe like
second or third.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Oh my god, have you heard the lyrics to the song?

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Well, it was a clean verd It's like half the
half the lyrics just like not even there.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
In the club. Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
He was definitely listening to the hip hop station back
then too, even when the words weren't edited. A crick
is a painful, stiff feeling in the neck or back. Yet,
Shannon and I were talking during the break, I don't
think we've ever heard somebody say a crick in their back.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
No, I've never heard anybody in life say the word
crick without saying the word neck in the same sentence.
Because the only time you would ever say crick is
I got a crick at my neck. I've never heard
anybody say I've got a crick in my back, though,
According to Google. That's the definition of crick stiffness in
your neck or your back.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Well, if you have.

Speaker 1 (24:06):

recommend first Choice Health and Wellness. How about that, Doctor

before we get to the phones, you know that not

(25:03):
a fan of children callers on the postgame show.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Oh we know, yeah, Billy hates kids. We know that
been long established on the show. I don't really hate kids,
I just hate them on the Postgame Show. But there
is something that is challenging that level of hate for me,
and that's Kirkirbstreet's dog.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
I am a minute now, let me tell you what
just happened. Kirk Kurbstreet called his dog Peter, the Taylor
Swift of college football. Quote his popularity. It's insane. I
think you could add all of us on the game
day and set combined, and I don't think it adds
up to Peter's popularity. It's the wildest thing I've ever seen.

(25:43):
I've become just a dog handler. When I'm on the road,
people are alike, can I have my picture with Peter?
And I say, of course, the Taylor Swift of college
football according to Kirk Kurbstreet. And I am tired of it.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
Oh come on, now, you hate dogs? I mean, are
you trying to like kill our audience? Everybody listening right
now either loves kids or dogs. We can find anybody
listening that hates kids and dogs not named Matt Jones
that I want to know. I want to hear from
you because I feel like everybody either loves kids or
loves dogs, or loves both, and here you are hating

(26:16):
on both of them.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
I love his dog and want a picture with the dog.
His dog.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Yeah, yeah, I'm a I'm an animal lover. And get
that dog off the TV set.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
We're trying to put a college game day show on
and and and Kirk's like running around because his half
his job is just handling his Golden retriever. I'm over it, Shannon,
stop forcing it down my throat. I love kids and
dogs in moderation with postgame taste, and I wants a
TV without this dumb Golden retriever in my face.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Not a dumb dog. It's not a dumb dog.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
You can retrieve things. It can sit, it's not all
it can do well. It can roll over.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Can you do that? Can I get my picture with
p It is moderation, By the way, It's not on
the TV every day. He's on just on the weekends.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
I can't watch a college football game that kirkhurbs Street's
calling without at least one cut to the booth, and
the dog's just running around in there, probably taking a
crap on the floor. Why I don't understand you're a
hatred for this dog? Like, what did the dog do
to you? Always just been shoved down my throat? Too
much shit?

Speaker 2 (27:23):
You don't have to watch it?

Speaker 4 (27:24):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yes I do. Why do you have to go to watch?
Are you obligated to watch it? You don't have to
watch the.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Big primetime game this week. I can't escape it.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
Well, look, I would rather listen to the dog do
its picks than Pat McAfee personally. Okay, So if they
could actually replace Pat McAfee with that golden retriever, I
think that would be an improvement for ESPN game Day
because I can't stand McAfee.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
I think we're getting too much McAfee.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
You want to talk about somebody's being shoved down our throat,
A guy who I can't even turn on ESPN at
one o'clock on a Monday afternoon without seeing Pat McAfee.
I don't see Kirk herbs Street's golden reach. I see mcaffee,
who looks like a golden retriever. And I'd rather get
McAfee out of there and give Kirk Herbstreet's dog its
own show over McAfee.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Wow, I'll ring the doll for that. Yeah, I'll ring
the bell for the passion against McAfee. After we are
staunchly in the Max Duffy camp, why don't we get
rid of the both, getting rid of McAfee and that
dumb dog Peter.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
That's not a dumb dog.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Taylor Swift of college football, give me boy, great Kirk,
Let's go to the phones. Eight five nine two two
eight seven.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Jay is on the line.

Speaker 4 (28:25):
What's up, Jay, any guys real quick. I'm I'm team Billy.
I'm done with Peter. I mean Peter pooped on the
set for the field goal for the kids. I'm I'm
over watching Peter run around.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Also, I think the poop there he didn't want the
kid to win.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
But the biggest thing for me is I'm a huge
fan of when corporations or like professional teams troll somebody.
And so I don't know if you all heard, but
when the Mets and the Marlins were in the other day,
the Marlins were playing the w k RPAM during.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
The game during the game, you know, and I just yeah, yeah,
I'm with you. I heard that, Jay, and the Marlins
must really hate the Mets.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
I mean, I know, their division rivals, but the Marlins
finished third in the National League East. They beat the Mets,
knocking the Mets out of the playoffs, and the Marlins were
celebrating like they just won the World Series.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
Jay, h Yeah, I mean, I guess when you know
down there, I mean, they had success, you know, way
back when, and they really haven't had much. It's almost
they're almost like, you know, the the Reds. Unfortunately, they
had some success at some point in time and they
never have got back to those glory years of Dontreill

(29:47):
Willis on the mound or anything. So but I just
love when corporations or professional teams troll and opposite, you know.
I love it when if Wendy's is trolling Burger King,
or like I said, the Marlins trolling the Middle.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Yeah, I like trolling, you know, I like the troll
Billy every now and then, so yeah, I'm all for
that every now and then.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Yeah, you know, like every show, like every show, every show,
and then every segment if possible.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Yeah, the Marlins.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Was they won ninety seven and was it two thousand
and three they won?

Speaker 1 (30:17):
So I think Dontrell Willis was a great call. I
mean immediately brought me back to that empty stadium that
they play in and in the old Miami Marlins uniforms
that looked much better back in the day before everything changed.
Speaking of trolling, South Carolina did plenty of that to
Kentucky after the game over the weekend, whether it be
Shane Biemer talking about YouTube videos on the KSR YouTube

(30:38):
or the Twitter account posting videos of the the fans
leaving their section at one point, a whole lot of
trolling going up post or pre interviews from players from
UK that they cut into a video that they trolled
with afterwards.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
About plenty of that.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
One of my favorite things to do is like go
to the losing team's Twitter account and just read the comments.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Of the final score that they post a lot.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yeah, especially like when there's a big upset, you know,
like there's fan bases that really lean into that and
you go to the comment section and it's all like
memes and stuff just trolling the other team.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
So yeah, I'm all for it. You know, if you
don't like it, don't lose.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
That is the common Shannon, the dude saying if you
don't like it, stop it.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
When you lose, you're gonna get trolled. You don't like it, be.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Better, but fair play there by the Marlins after beating
the Mets. By the way, the Mets and Reds eighty
three and seventy nine. If the Reds were to win
the World Series, I believe it'd be the second worst
regular season record to ever win the World Series?

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Is that right? Yeah? Wow?

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Ok, only like four other teams that had a worst
record that even made the playoffs than eighty three and
seventy nine.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
So the Reds are historic and they'll get it on tonight.
Hold on, hold on if they win. So I think
that's a huge if I wouldn't get your hopes up.
But they're in so anything could happen. Anything could happen, Shannon.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
I want a fair or foul for you. Maybe not.
I need you to pick a side though.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
This comes from the Bears Raiders football game over the weekend.
They are coming out of halftime and a CBS reporter
is interviewing Bears head coach Ben Johnson and they had
a little bit of a testy exchange. You tell me
which side you're on, the reporter or the coach you're.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Offensive struggle take advantage of those takeaways? Okay, So what
did you tell them to get things going that it.

Speaker 5 (32:27):
Wasn't our brand of football. We're cap fule of a
lot more. And so we're hitting the reset button your
at halftime and we're gonna come back and establish our
identity here in the second half.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
You need to change what you're doing.

Speaker 5 (32:37):
I don't know, you think so well? Where gonna be
just fine?

Speaker 4 (32:41):
Thanks?

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Okay, coming out of halftime. I understand reporters after interview
coaches that may be losing mm hmm. But did you
think that was a little disrespectful from the reporter or
did you feel like Ben Johnson was just, you know,
would rather have been anywhere else.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
She was just trying to give a follow up question.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
So, I mean, and I know, like it's it's a
highly emotional time to interview a losing coach going into halftime.
They're trying to get in there and talk to their
team and fix whatever the problems were in the first half.
But yeah, I think it was a little inappropriate. I
don't think he needed to be that big of a
jerk to her. But she's like, do you need to

(33:20):
change anything? Yeah, we're gonna work on it. That's what
we're going to talk about. I mean, there's your answer.
We're going to talk about that and make some adjustments
for the second half. All right, Yeah, thanks, coach, there
you go.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
You know, I just don't think we need an interview
from the head coach coming out of halftime, honestly.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
I mean, but the reporters just doing her job, Like
they tell her, this is when you interview this coach.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Don't take it out on her.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
If you don't like that the coaches are being interviewed
at halftime, take it up with the NFL office, you know,
take it.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Up with the commissioner. Yeah, yeah, with you on that.
She's doing her best.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
She seemed a little condescending there, So you're gonna have
to change what you're doing then, right?

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Well I'm okay, yeah, but why is that? Why would
that trigger you as a coach. Yeah, we need to
change what we're doing. We need to mix some things up.
We need to give them some different looks in the
second half. That's what we're gonna do.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Well, because probably that's the last person that I need
to hear from, right a CBS reporter. Sure, you know,
we're trying to come back in a game. I don't
need to be have condescending you know. Reporters say, you know,
you need to change something like like she knows more
than I did, right, I mean maybe a little bit,

(34:24):
but I mean, come on, like again, she's just trying
to give some sort of follow up question in the moment.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
You know, maybe she how did she word that? Exactly?
What did she say? Like, so you need to do
some change? How did I guess it depends on how
she worded it. Let me skip forward at the end here. Okay,
so we're hitting the.

Speaker 5 (34:39):
Reset button here at half time, and we're going to
come back and establish our identity here in the second half.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
So you need to change what you're doing.

Speaker 5 (34:46):
I don't know, you think so world, we're gonna be
just fine.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
So you need to change what you're doing. There's a
question though, So you need to change what you're doing,
she says.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
She says the stare that Ben Johnson gave her after
she said that was a little brutal. He since apologized.
He apologized yesterday which you know, our society, we have
to apologize for everything that's true.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
So Ben Johnson, rightly, whose side are you on there?

Speaker 1 (35:12):
I think I'm on the coaches really Okay, A lot
of people came out online yesterday saying, like Ben Johnson
was in the wrong. I think I'm on the I
think I'm on his side a little bit of you
know what you're saying. And then also, she.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
Could have left it there after one question, but I
think they usually want a follow up question, and maybe
it's a little bit in how she said it, like
in her in her her tone, Yeah, she could have
worded it maybe a little bit better. But then again,
if you're the coach, you got to give her a
break on that. Do you I what we need to
do now?

Speaker 2 (35:44):
I need to talk down.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
I don't think you need to talk down to the
reporter when she's just trying to ask you a simple question.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Yeah, I didn't.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
We get too many simple questions nowadays though, right Like,
I think we get a lot of people in media
that are asking dumb questions. And maybe Ben just felt
like that that was a dumb question at the time,
But well, yeah, change up what you're doing, Chicago. You
were losing at the time and halftimes they need to
change everything. Well they won, yeah, but I'm talking about historically.

(36:13):
Oh yeah, the Bears are terrible. Oh this is a
Packers fan saying that, So take that with a grain
of salt.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
There, Hey the bear suck n dun Hey, the.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Bear suck would do a little Super Bowl shuffle. I
gotta play that song for you coming up. All right,
we'll do it for me.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
We'll take a break and be right back here on
the ksrpre show.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
The Bear Suck. Yeah, welln't expecting that.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
I know he said you were going to play it
coming back, but I thought that was just the old
classic tune I've heard before. A five nine two two
two eight seven. Billy Reutligion, Shannon the Dude here for
one final segment before we hand it off to KOSR.
Richie and Buck going to be hosting today. Should be
a lot of fun. A lot of good texts from
the text line coming in after that last segment, including

(36:57):
one that says, Billy the booty Shaker and Shannon the
booty Shaking contests judge.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Well as a host host. Yeah, it wasn't really the
judge all in the same family.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Sure, who knew we had so much lower in booty
shaking here on the KSR pre Show. Also, I'm getting
a ton of response on Peter, including one person on
Twitter that says, anything that takes attention away from Billy,
Billy hates, or maybe it's anything that gets more attention
than him.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
He hates.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Billy disappoints me more every day. He can't just enjoy things.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
You know what, I can't agree with you more? Whoever
wrote that, I can't agree with that more. No, I
agree with him. Yeah, I agree with him, Billy. You
just seem to hate everything. You disappoint me every day.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
Only on the.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Ksrpre Show can you listen to people complaining about having
Peter shove down their throne and it not be inappropriate? Also,
one person says, I agree on Peter Herdstreet shouldn't be
playing with Peter on TV.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
See it just goes to show you the warped mind
of our listeners.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
Oh, I mean their mine's in the gutter. Their mind
is in the gutter.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
We're talking about a Golden Retriever named Peter, and you
guys want to make it into something that's.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
Not Yeah, please this is a family show.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
I would never do anything like that.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
We're trying to have a good time here in our
booty shaking.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
We know, though, Billy, you act like you don't love Peter.
We know secretly you love Peter. I hate that dog. No,
you like it, you love it, and I hate No.
Do not hashtag Billy loves Peter make it trend.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
No, You're not going to do that.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Paul Finebomb is considering leaving ESPN.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Speaking of a Peter to run percent.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
To run for Senate Alabama, he says the killing of
Charlie Kirk fueled is a desire to be involved, and
a couple of people have reached out in Washington.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
He says if Trump asks sim he'll do it. He
is seventy years old.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
Well, I mean that fits right in with all of
our other politicians. Apparently you got to be at least
seventy years old and you know, one foot in the
grave before you were allowed to get into politics.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
It seems like so it would.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
Be interesting if that happened. What do you think the
SEC network would replace it with? Have you a little KSR?
I don't know that'd be cool.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Barred from the show now that it's gone, and maybe
the show that replaces it that.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Are we barred from the show or barred from the
network itself. And I'm not barred from anything as far
as I know.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
Well, I think they just don't. They just don't want
me on there.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
You did make it into the SEC Tournament last year,
so you're making products true?

Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (39:33):
Yeah, I think they're still holding it against me that
time that I stole that giant thing of hand sanitizer
and the commissioner chased me down and said, you can't
be taking our sanitizer at the SEC tournament.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
So is Alabama just going to elect former football coaches
and players for all their elected officials or basketball?

Speaker 2 (39:50):
I guess.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
I mean Tommy Tubberville was one, now that he might
be running for governor. It could be Paul Finebaum who
runs for Senate. It could be Bruce Pearl, even though
he said that he's not going to do it. Is
that just the new thing in Alabama?

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Maybe?

Speaker 1 (40:02):
So?

Speaker 3 (40:02):
I mean, if fine Bomb goes into politics, he realizes
he has to talk right, because he certainly doesn't do
it on his own radio show. You can't just go
all right, everybody, welcome to the Paul Finebomb show. All right,
who's our first caller?

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
