(00:21):
Pre Show being brought to you by Italic Spine Italian
Dinning in Lexington. And good to be here in Lebanon
this morning, here on the corn Bread Hemp Farm. This
is where it all starts, right here at Billy. This
is where it starts. And then of course we get
the the corn bread, Seltzer's, we get the gummies, we
get the drops, all that good stuff. But it all
starts right here in Lebanon, Kentucky. Good morning, how are you?

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah, good morning, Glad to be with you, Shannon. How
cool is this back on the farm again here in Lebanon.
And before you know, we've kind of snuck out here
and set up our equipment and done shows out here
and saw all the hemp harvested. Now we'll have a
couple people out here with us as well, So this
is fun and cornbread.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Hemp has grown so much.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Over the last few years or so that I'm excited
to continue to be doing stuff with it.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
They were on a nationally televised show last night. I
don't know if you saw it after Monday Night football
last night. I don't know what it was called, but
it was on ABC okay, and they were on there,
and yes, it was on there, and it just goes
to show you how much of this company has grown
over the years. They were just recognized this year is
the fastest growing business in Kentucky and the fastest growing
hemp brand in America by the prestigious Inc. Five thousand.

(01:23):
You know about that, don't you, of course?

Speaker 2 (01:25):
And then you know the news maybe a week or
two ago that they are going to be the official
beverage sponsor of the University of Louisville. We won't hold
that against them, that it's Louisville. It's the first ever,
I believe THHC based drink that's an official drink for
a school.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
You know, I was out of the Kentucky State Fair
just about every day because I love the State Fair,
but they had the coolest setup out there with the
corn bread hemp garden. Yeah, and I'm telling you they
were selling those selters like hotcakes out there, and those
things have been a huge hit. And we always enjoy
when we, you know, get to go home with maybe
a few of those selfs, which I'm hoping maybe we'll
get maybe one or two.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Shelters are fantastic. I mean, if you haven't had one,
you should definitely try it. And not to mention all
this stuff that helps me sleep at night or helps
with pain, so they've they've got great products.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Well, I'm glad that we get on the air this morning. We're,
like I said, we're out here on a farm, so
there's not like, you know, just outlets everywhere. But they
provided us with a generator. Billy R. Sports apparently does
not know. Hey, there's Jim right there. Jim Billy R. Sports,
we learned this morning, does not know how to start
a generator. That's why Billy, I'm setting things up. Would

(02:28):
you mind giving us some power? There's the generator they
provided for us. Would you mind firing that thing up?
We'll get the show going. And you looked at me
like what am I supposed to do with this thing.
That is not what happened at all.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
I'm sure I'll start the generator, but I've got a
better solution. I've got one of these big batteries that
we can use for power. And guess what, he didn't
know how to run that either, Well, that would have
been a better and more accurate story. Then I didn't
know how to start a generator. I could start a generator,
you know. Okay, yeah, you think you can.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, probably. I mean it's very easy. You kind of
turned the switch to on and then you pull the
It's just like starting a weed eater. That's right, that's right.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Now.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
My neighbors might think that I don't know how to
start a weed eater or a lawnmower, but you know,
I've kind of let that slide a little bit.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
I'm a busy gun nowadayshit So you have to take
if you rent, though, you have to take care of
your own like I've never rent it before. So if
you're renting a house, you have to take care of
your own. Loss kind of depends. They don't have a
landlord that comes over and does it for you. Yeah,
nobody comes and cuts our lawns. So that's just on
me and Shannon. I don't know if if you've ever
rented in the past. I just don't have a ton
of motivation to cut the lawn for a place that
I'm renting. I don't know what you live there, though,

(03:29):
I do like that represents you. Yeah, but that's not
like so because you don't own it, you don't feel
ownership over waying the lawn, Like what an awful? That's correct.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, So I don't know, like take care of like
the little things in the backyard.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Just kind of let it go. I mean, I'm renting.
It's not that big of a deal. I don't think.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
I don't look at it as a reflection of myself,
but maybe probably people judge me on that way.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
So what about the garage that looks like a hoarder
lives there? You don't care because that's a rental.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well, God, I just got nowhere else to put that stuff.
I mean, people with no storage space can relate, I'm sure.
I mean, why not just throw it out in the
front yard and you don't care. I see people pull
into their garage with their car and it's just a
dream that I may never experience.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Shannon because there's just nowhere else to go. Also, a
listener already brought us some country ham biscuit. You know,
Lebanon is like the country ham capital of the world
in Lebanon, that's right, And we got some of that
this morning, so I'm excited about that. This is also
I hesitate to bring it up, but this is where
you got your little fake plastic trophy for tossing the
haybill at the Haybell Toss competition.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Nothing fake about it. It was the KSR Ham Day
Haybel Toss. I'm surprised I had to bring it up
and you didn't.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
Not.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Well, no, it already got brought up since we got here, Shannon.
I mean this is my town. I mean it was
brought up as soon as we got here, and I
will be defending my title in just a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
We'll be coming right back out here. This is your town. Huh.
I bet you couldn't find your way out of Lebanon
without a GPS. Well that's not saying much.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
I couldn't find my way out of Lexington without a
GPS and I've lived there for five years.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Now, so they got the help. I don't think they're
going to come by and harvest it today. But we
saw that a couple of years ago. Was it last year?
But they they jumped off the truck and they harvest
all the hell by hand. Yeah, we're gonna go up
and uh, we're gonna take a look at it. As
bush Hamden would say that was that was a great
click year. We're gonna take a look at it. I mean,
I guess that is his default answer to everything in

(05:16):
a postgame press conference. We're gonna take a look at it.
I don't think that that is an answer that fans
find acceptable after a loss like Saturday, but that was
his answer. We're gonna go take a look at it.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Do you find yourself saying repeating phrases like that over
a year's career on the radio?

Speaker 4 (05:30):
Do you have.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Buzzwords or probably simlar words they use? There probably are,
And I think our listeners could point that out better
than me, because if I do it, I don't realize
that I do it. I think yours is saying my name. Yep,
that's it. There was a game actually, I think on
the pregame show where you take a shot every time
Billy says Shannon.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Oh, people used to count and they set over unders.
In that first year of the pre show, I just
used to say Shannon's name every time I set a sentence,
and I still do.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
But yeah, okay, so yesterday we talked we're gonna get
into Kentucky football in just a minute. But I got
to talk about my favorite story that I was not
even aware of. I guess it happened while I was
on vacation, but Matt brought it up because he had
the lady involved in the story on his ESPN show
of the Raccoon Misty Combs, Right, she is proof that
not all heroes wear capes. She actually got into a

(06:16):
dumpster where she heard, I guess, a raccoon. I don't
even know how she knew it was in the dumpster
to begin with, but I guess she heard, like the
mama raccoon, she said, making some sort of noise. She
looks in there. She gets this drunk raccoon out of
the dumpster and starts giving it CPR and she said,
apparently it had wandered over to I guess the Moonshine
distillery and gotten into the fermented peaches. That's right, And

(06:38):
she found out that it was drunk and it was
it was dying, and she gave it CPR and brought
it back to life. That is the story of the year,
as far as I'm concerned, that is. That is quite
a story and perfectly Kentucky.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
I think Matt's talking about the national reaction to her
calling in her accent, her his producers and their draws
on the floor just listening to the story. I mean,
that's just another story around here, but to a national
audience that was a little crazy. But I'm gonna lean
on it being a little crazy because who gives CPR
to a raccoon?

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Shannon? I mean, is there what she was like? She
said was not a vet, but she I guess was
a nurse. Well at least she didn't go lip to lip.
That was my question when you say CPR, I believe
CPR is you got to like like chess chess compressions
and then you know, mouth to mouth right at that point,
and I was wondering, like, do you do that to
a raccoon, like, you know, the thing might wake up

(07:30):
and give you rabies. That's quite a sacrifice for a
raccoon's life. Yeah, you know, you.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
You've got to be a real proponent of nature in
wildlife to even give that a shot, right, I mean,
if I see a dead raccoon, I've just seen a
dead raccoon, right, Like, it's.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
What if it's your pet, if it's your dog, your
dog is choking on a bone, or you gonna give
it chess chess compressions and mouth to mouth. I don't think.
I don't know if that would help.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
I don't know if CPR is the move if it's choking,
but i'd do something to the Hilik. Then are you
gonna give it the Hiblich? I would get do the
I'm looked on the dog one hundred percent. Well yeah,
I'm emotionally invested at that point, right, But just like
some street raccoon or some wild animal, Shannon, I don't know,
that would not be me.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
But she she prevailed. That is like I said, the
story of the year. I absolutely love Save the ri
You saved not only a raccoon, it was a drunk raccoon.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
And I did like how she was like the mama
was trying to get her attention, and she was like
I knew something was wrong about the way.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
And I think it's like, why is the mama relying
on her, like, why can't the mama go over there
and give it? That's right?

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Why aren't more raccoon CPR certified some mom so that
raccoon is not getting the mom of the Year awards.
So one of our listeners goes down here in the
crowd a little later in the show, Shannon, are you
able to run up and properly give CPR?

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Probably not? Well, so what is so? What is the thing?
Is it like one, two, three?

Speaker 2 (08:46):
And then you do chess compressions to the beat of
Staying Alive?

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Right, right? And then you gotta pinch the nose, tilt
the head.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Back, uh huh right, and breathe in and how many
breathed into them?

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yes? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
I mean I I think it's like two big breaths,
isn't it. And then you go back to chess compression.
That sounds right?

Speaker 1 (09:03):
But then you have to do it regularly, right, it
has to be a rhythm to it. But here's the thing, Like,
while I'm waiting for you to pull up Staying Alive
on YouTube, and then you have to listen to like
somebody's home depot commercial before you can get to it.
I meanwhile, I'm over here dying, Like, I'm not gonna
worry about if you're doing it at the right speed
or not. At that point, I think I would take
whatever I could get.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yeah, you're gonna have to just silently sing the VGs
to yourself. I'm the thirty second YouTube ab I cannot
skip that shit, and so you're just gonna have to.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
YouTube really is out of control. Like that's why they
get you, right, they want you to buy that premium
subscription so you don't have to, you know, worry about
listening to a commercial every time you want to try
to pull up a video. Yeah, but they are out
of control with these commercials on YouTube. You can't watch
any Like you can't watch a thirty second clip without
having to watch another thirty second ad before you get
to that.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
It's well, I mean that's where you got to go
if you want to watch a music video too, right,
I mean music videos I feel like have dipped in
popularity a little bit as of recently.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
So the big story yesterday Billy was this new basketball
is still practice facility that is going to be built.
And if you remember, not that long ago, coach Calipari
was was clamoring he was asking for this, this practice facility,
Mitch Barnhardt turned him down, and now it looks like
Pope in a second year is going to get what
Cali Perry was asking for. Do you think this is

(10:18):
just suspicious timing? Do you think this is like a
you know, we're gonna help Pope out and give them
this facility and give them every opportunity to succeed here
at Kentucky. It just I don't know, it seems like
odd timing that Cali Peri was begging for this just
a couple of years ago. It was a hard no,
and now Pope in his second year is going to
get it.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
I gotta think that that relationship between Callum Mitch got
pretty bad that where we are getting the practice facility
only year two into Mark Pope. No, Shannon, I don't
think this is just timing wise the next thing that
was down the line. I think Mitch is making an
effort to give Mark Pope every resource that he needs.
But when somebody like tells you to do something that
makes me not want to do it.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Right, Oh yeah, I need a practice facility.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
This is not good and this needs to be state
of the art, just like this this and this. That's
just gonna naturally not make me want to give you that, right. Yeah,
But if you are just humble and you're able to
do your own thing and you promote the commonwealth, hell
I'll give you a practice facility, right. Yes, you give
every resources that you need. It's just the motivation that's
different here.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah, it is all about timing, I think, especially when
you're you know, John Caliperi, you just lost to Saint
Peter's and then you go in and you ask for
a practice facility. You know, it's a little different when
that too, you're coming off maybe a Final four and
asking for a practice facility. But nonetheless, it looks like
it is going to be built. I'm sure it's going
to be state of the art. It's going to be
next to Kroger, filled next to the fan zone, so

(11:39):
that should be interesting. You know. They mentioned like a
an entertainment district, and we know like what they've got
at like Nayland Stadium down in Tennessee, that whole entertainment
district district where fans can basically just go out and
not only tailgate in the parking lot, but they have
different like venues and stuff to go to. It would
be nice to have something like that. I don't know if, like,
does Kentucky have the room or around Kroger Field to

(12:01):
actually do something like that.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Well, I mean, if you're looking for a parking spot before,
I mean, that's what I'm saying. Even less, if they
build a whole entertainment district. You know, I don't have
the specifics on that, but to hear that it would
be next to Krogerfield, I think it's pretty cool. I mean,
if they were to create like an area around there
that people can hang out, then I think that does
help the tailgating scene. But we've seen only things get
taken away to the average Kentucky fan recently, right, I mean,

(12:25):
it's been more expensive to have a tailgating lot. Season
tickets are more expensive. I guess maybe some of that
will start going to things like practice facilities or paying
the players. But that entertainment district I think would be
pretty cool in the modern day of college sports.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
And then the other big piece of news yesterday was well,
Ryan kind of broke it right here on KSR the
last couple of minutes of the show when he said
that he had on good authority that Cutter Bowley was
going to be the starting quarterback on Saturday against Eastern Michigan.
I mean, you know, I would look at it and go, Okay,
you got Zach Calzada, who has that banged up shoulder.
We don't know how bad it is, but why do

(13:00):
you even risk it against the team that you think
you're gonna win big against? Right, So I thought it
was kind of obvious that Cutter Bully was going to
be the starting guy on Saturday, but Ryan kind of
confirmed that at the end of the show yesterday, and
Stoops I believe confirmed it as well yesterday.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Oh I love Ryan waiting until the final five six
minutes of the show to blurt that detail out. Maybe
something that could have been a talking point early on,
but that's you get what you get with Scoop LeMond
and I think that was more scuttle butt than Scoop,
but probably what's going to happen. You know, Tom had
Cutter Bully's dad on the lead report this morning. I
think there is a lot of sentiment that Cutter is
going to get playing time. Stoops said that explicitly that

(13:34):
he wants to see Cutter. So, look, this is exciting
because it's not that great of an opponent.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
Right.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
While it may be a blowout, I think a lot
of people are going to be watching to see the
progress progress of Cutter Bully, and so I mean, you
have a bye week after that. If he plays well,
I think there is, you know, a sentiment that this
guy could be the.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Starter moving forward after. It's going to be interesting to
see what happens, because if he comes out and has
a great game, fans will look at it and go, Okay,
is it fair to compare what Cutter Bowley did against
a really bad Eastern Michigan team to what Klazada did
against the top twenty old miss team and a Toledo
team that was, let's be honest, pretty good too. So
it's then gonna be a tough decision for Stoops when

(14:11):
Calzada gets held up. Let's say you got Cutter Bowley
playing really well. Do you go back to the guy
who you spent all this nil money on in Calzada
and bring him back as the starter, or do you
keep Cutter Bowley in. It's gonna be an interesting decision
and a tough decision if Cutter Bowley's playing really well.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Here's my advice to Stoops, and I'm sure he doesn't
need it, But you cannot be beholden to who you
paid the most money to to be your best players, yeah,
or leaders on your team. That is a slippery slope.
Then it will become a program that if you get
the most money, you have to be that guy. And
you want competition to just to dictate that. You want
guys to battle each other out for those starting spots,

(14:49):
and you know that reputation probably grows too.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
I mean, people would find out about that.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
So it is strange that you're paying this guy millions
of dollars and he gave you a subpar effort for
two games. You might not see him again. But that's
you know, good on Sack for getting the money when
he could. But you got to play the best guy available.
And the guys in the locker room know who that
guy is. They know it's Cutter Bully, They well whoever
whoever it is they know in the locker room. And
so when you don't start that guy, that's when you

(15:15):
start to see resentments sit in. But as of now,
I think Stoops is saying the right thing because he
also said I don't want to do a disservice to
Calzada by immediately starting saying Cutters the starter after he
gets injured.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
We got to see where he's at and his injury. Well,
when Calsada does get fully healthy, though, you got to pick.
Do you agree? You got to pick one or the other,
because I could foresee a situation where you got Cutter
Bully who's filling in for kal Zada. Cutter's playing really well.
Now you got Kalsada, your original starter, who is held up,
let's say in a week or two. What I don't
want to have happen is he's just kind of bouncing

(15:45):
back and forth between both of them. Yeah, you know,
like that that could be good. Yeah, So I mean,
you got to commit to one or the other. And
if it doesn't work out, you know, Stoops is gonna
get a lot of criticism for that. So it's it's
gonna be interesting, like I said, to see how this
entire thing plays out throughout the season.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
And while the health of Kazada is going to be
very important than this, how about like who operates the
offense efficiently I think is going to be important too.
I mean, if Cutters getting guys in the right spot
they're not having illegal procedure penalties and in embarrassing moments
like they didn't ole Miss. I think that goes a
long way right now with this offense. Just doing the
little things.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Right Ay five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
We are live in Lebanon at the corn Bread Hemp Farm.
We're going to take a break and we'll be right back.
We'll take your calls here on the ksrpre show. All right,
welcome back, and we are live in Lebanon for the
Cornbread Hemp Farm out here, gonna be broadcasting live till noon.
KSR coming up next. We are the show before the

(16:39):
show and corn Bread Hemp fighting in DC to keep
HMP products legal in America. I see videos all the
time of Jim and Eric, who owned corn Bred Himp,
constantly having to go to DC to fight because there's
always these bills that are trying to shut down HIMP products,
getting all buttoned up and going to Capitol Hill. Yeah,
Senator mcconnawe. It says it's continuing to push to make
HMP products that contain any amount of THHC illegal in

(17:02):
all fifty states, which would recriminalize everything that they do
here at Cornbread Hips, So we've got to fight against
that billy.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Eric and Jim has said that they agree regulation is important,
but an outright band keeps millions of Americans from products
that help improve their quality of life.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
And we've seen that work right here on KSR. This
segment sponsored by Draft King Sportsbook promo code KSR bet

The parlays are what always get me. But they've got
a new thing on here now where you can do
a ghost leg parlay, which means, let's say you have
a five leg parlay, only four of them hit, Okay,
your bet still wins. So they paid out a ton
of money over the weekend with that ghost leg parlay,
which which usually is my problem. I'd like four out
of five. I'd win ninety percent more of my parlays
if I had it. They were going they always say
it's the last leg that doesn't hit too and that's

(17:58):
that's how it was with me. But anyway, the DraftKings

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Watch a little YouTube TV last night that Bears Vikings
game Vikings come back, big win after you thought the
Bears were going to win it.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Two big upsets or big comebacks over the last two
night games. Yeah, I called that too. Everybody was saying,
you know, the Bears can't lose when they're honoring their
championship team, but they did. And you know what, I'm
okay with that because I'm a Packers fan and a
Bears hater. So Packers look good this weekend. Oh yeah,
they look really good. I mean they shut down Detroit,
who a lot of people think could make a Super

(18:57):
Bowl run this year, but they shut them down. Look good.
What do you think about the I mean, I'm all
for it because it's for safety. But some of these
players are wearing these giant helmets now that have like
the extra padding in it. Have you seen there's a
couple Packers players that were yeah, wearing it on.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
So I believe they're called guardian caps and you see
them everybody wearing them in practice, but some athletes elect
to wear it during the game. The Buccaneers have a
right tackle that wears it, and it's very noticeable. Yeah,
but it's probably for a good reason, right well, of course,
ahead injuries. It's just a it's a little striking at first.
They'll probably get a little better looking as the years.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
I was just going to say, I think they've got
to do something to make that a little bit more
sleek than what it is. It just looks like a
like a big like almost like somebody cut off a
mattress and foamed it over top of a head, and
it's like supposed to look like the helmet too right.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
It's a little off compared to everybody else that's wearing it,
but it's it's a lot of progress by the NFL.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yesterday, we were in Somerset at the golf scramble. You played,
I did? Did you win?

Speaker 2 (19:52):
I don't know, I texted Ellie. I mean I laughed
before the final results came in.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
We played pretty well.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
We shot thirteen under and while at most scrambled nineteen
twenty under is gonna win on a course like that,
that is a respectable real thirteen under that we shot,
so we're proud of that.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
I saw Ryan actually hit one out of I believe
like seventeen or eighteen putts. Yeah, immediately took a shirt
off in true Ryan Lemon fashion. I don't think anybody
needed to see that, but we got it anyway.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
That was that.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Probably my favorite part of the round is seeing Matt
and Ryan waiting on hole eighteen to putt for us.
But we played pretty well and always love the sponsors
that come out for the KSR shows.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
We get a little alcohol out there running and it
was perfect.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
I mean, if it was ninety five degrees for the
entire day, at the last scramble in Louisville.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
This was seventy eight. It felt like the entire day.
Mark Stoops said in his press conference that all things considered,
he thinks that the mistakes that were made are all correctable,
which I mean I would agree they're all correctable. The
question is, though, moving forward, how are you going to
correct those and are you going to correct those mistakes?
Do you think that we see an adjustment moving forward
or do you think this is going to be something

(20:57):
that we continue to see because I feel like, Billy,
we've been talking about organizational issues with Mark stoops teams
really since his first year here at Kentucky. I feel
like if you went to a KSR podcast and you
pulled a podcast on a September Monday, all right, from
twenty fifteen, we will be talking about the same organizational
issues that just drive us as fans nuts, you know,

(21:20):
just bad clock management, yeah, not wrong personnel on the field,
too many men on the field, like those little things
that will lose you know, can make or break a
game for you.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
That's a great point about it being evergreen. Right, we'll
go back to twenty fifteen, big of random day. You
might hear the same thing.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
I'd like to hope.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
So, you know, the first caller to The Stoop Show
last night was just like, you know, how why not
keep things simple? And you know, I think a little
bit of that was, you know, many different packages that
they tried to bring in versus all miss they got
a little too complicated. There's a talking point, do you
try to hold some of your offense for game two
so they don't have everything on tape for after week one,
And maybe they tried to do a little bit of that,

(21:56):
But I don't know, Shanon the definition of insanity just
keep expecting a different result doing the same thing over Like,
I'm hopeful that he can rip bush Hamd in a
little bit. But you know, play calling, operation tempo, these
are things that I think I already know the answer.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
I would think with Cutter being to the start, that
will probably revert back to just a basic playbook. And again,
this is kind of like a week one situation where
you're playing in an opponent where you don't feel like
you have to throw it all out there to win
the game. So I don't think that they're going to
make things too complicated for him on Saturday we'll take
a break. We're coming right back. We're alive here in
Lebanon at the corn Bread Hemp Farm, will be right back.
It's the KSUR Apprecial welcome back. We are live in

(22:34):
Lebanon at the corn Bread Hemp Farm and Cornbread Heap
has put over five hundred thousand dollars back into Kentucky
this year with community sponsorships and collaborations. A proud highlight
as their twenty five thousand dollars contribution to the Goodwill
Expungement Clinic, through which they expunged the records of fifty
folks who needed a little extra help to get back
on their feet and some then positively participate in their community.

(22:59):
Corn Bread Heap does a good job at giving back
as well. Oh they do.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
And you know, they were just a little small company
when they started with KSR. It's just been really rewarding
to see how big they've grown.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
You know, I love a good prank, Billy. I don't
know if you know this about me, but I love
pulling pranks on people. But the thing is, now, when
you pull a prank on somebody, everybody is so sensitive.
You got to be very, very careful in how you
do it, especially when you're doing it on the radio.
Did you see what Howard Stern did yesterday? Do you
know about this story? I've heard it? Okay, So you
know Howard. First of all, I want his schedule. He

(23:31):
gets like an entire summer off. Then when he works,
he works like three days a week. I'm bad, like Monday,
bad gig, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. So he had the entire
summer off. And there was this story that came out
and it was basically saying that Howard Stern was going
to be canceled from serious exem right right, saying that
he'd become too woke and all sorts of other reasons.

(23:54):
So he was originally supposed to come back I think
it was on September the first and make a statement
what it Well, September Onet came and went. He wasn't
on the air there, So then they're like, all right,
we're gonna push it back. We're gonna do it September
the eighth. So yesterday, as I was driving the summrset,
I tuned in because I was like, okay, is he
going to retire? What's gonna happen here? Howard Stern's not
on the air. It's Andy Cohen who is on his

(24:18):
station and said that he was taking over Howard's spot,
and people were losing their minds, right, That were hardcore
fans that have been listening to Howard Stern for forty years,
and there was no goodbye, no nothing. So if you
listened for the first fifteen minutes of the show, he
had Andy Cohen on as the new host and just

(24:38):
it was basically it turned out to be a fake
segment that Andy Cohen had created, but he said it
was Andy one hundred and like, you know, just really
leaning into the whole thing. H fifteen, they do a
whole segment. People are losing their minds. Then after fifteen minutes,
Howard Stern comes back on and announce this that he's
still on the radio.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
I saw the headline. I did not listen to it.
Was it like no noticeable that this was a bit.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Sort of I think sort of a lot of people thought,
you know, this is probably a bit. But then there
were actual big media outlets that believed it and posted
articles and were reporting it on the news and everything else.
So he duped all these people and apparently the serious
XM stock just plummeted in those fifteen I didn't know

(25:21):
the stock, so I don't know that they were too
happy about that, but I guess when they got the
news that he was on fifteen minutes later, it probably
went right back up if people were calling to cancel
their subscriptions. And I thought it was just one of
the greatest pranks, maybe since War of the Worlds, which
I don't think was actually a prank. People just took
it literally.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Are you talking about the alien invasion radio broadcast back
in the thirties or whatever.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
That wasn't supposed to be a prank, but it turned
into like a real serious situation, stuff you could not
get away with today on the radio. But I thought
it was quite a prank. People actually buying into it
and believing it, and then big media outlets embarrassing themselves
by reporting it as fact that of not recognizing in
the prank.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Well that's how I first saw it was it was
like variety or it was like tweeted about it, and
then people were like, this is obviously a bit how
are they tweeting out like this?

Speaker 1 (26:10):
But yeah, I love it.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
I mean, like you said, serious XM President probably doesn't
love that the stock fell during that time, But I
mean Howard doing a little needle, and that's what you
got to expect if you're going to employ that guy.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
We talk about fake news all the time. The crazy
thing is, though, after he came on the air and said, hey, everybody,
it's just a prank. I'm here, Variety left it up
for like another hour. I'm like, this is what media
has become. That's media. That's the thing about social though.
I mean, anybody can report anything. You can be have
a check mark just because you bought it.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Nowadays and trying to weed out what is news what
isn't because.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Tough ROSSI even doing show prep. I mean you see,
you know somebody that looks like they may know what
they're talking about, post the story and then we have
to decide is it true or not. You got to
go through three or four different outlets to confirm it.
But you know, when somebody puts out some scoop, like
let's say Cutter Bowli being the starter, you have to
decide do we want to run with that on the
air or do we want to wait and get two

(27:07):
or three other confirmations before we put it out there.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yeah, journalists are told that you need like two other
sources at least to confirm before you move with the story.
And I think many would even side on getting three
sources before you get two. But look, I mean, the
integrity of journalists I don't think has gotten any better, Shannon. So,
I mean, I would expect that more people out there
are posting stories off of one source or even just

(27:30):
news that they've heard, compared to actually confirming it. So
it's tough. I feel. I do worry about the younger generations,
but they're born with the phone in their hands, so
maybe they have a little bit more Internet literacy than
we do.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Journalism has become it's better or more important for companies
to post the story first than for it to be
a correct yes, like they don't only care if it's
accurate or not. Let's just post it. At least we
were first, you know, first to put it out there. Yeah,
and that's a shame because that is backwards of how
it should be said. Up if I'm notine to it.
Twenty two eighty seven, Let's go to the phones. Who
do we have up first? Rick?

Speaker 4 (28:03):
Jake is up first?

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Hey Jake? What's up? Jake? Going on?

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Hey, Billy Shannon, How are you doing this morning?

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Very good? Hey, Billy, did the Mark say anything about
Zack's health yesterday? How he was doing? Jake?

Speaker 2 (28:21):
He said it was unfair to name Cutter the starter
because he still has to check in with Calzada. He
was unsure of the severity of it, so.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
He didn't get Mark.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
He did the Keller Perry. He did the Kelli Perry
hadn't seen anything more or less? Yeah, more or less
to that point, Jake. All right, Jake, we appreciate thanks
for the phone call. Thank you, Jake. You know, we
were talking about the depth chart that wasn't updated yesterday,
So then you think, okay, was it just not updated
or is that what it's supposed to be? Is it

(28:52):
actually going to have Calzada listed as QB once? Right?

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Well, I mean why reveal that now? I mean, why
give Eastern Michigan a full week of Cutter prep. I
don't know if that's much different than Zach Calzada, but
I do have a little Bill Belichick in me in which,
you know, why reveal something if it's not going if
it might hurt you?

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Right?

Speaker 4 (29:10):
Right?

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Yeah, I mean I'm all for transparency, but I also
get the point that why would coaches divulge into some
of the details of these things when it could give
the other team a competitive advantage.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Let's hope that you don't have to really worry too
much about a competitive advantage against Eastern Michigan, who just
lost to a really bad team.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
I can't drawing a long island long island. I think
it was yeah, really bad now.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Of course, the other big topic this year has been
the in game experience, which I feel like has been
another evergreen topic that we've talked about throughout the years.
A lot of people not happy with the music, you know,
Grove Street Party against Toledo wasn't played, then they played
it on on Saturday. I feel like in a more
almost like a passive aggressive way, you know. But Will

(29:50):
Wrightson it says, I can't read this word for word.
Who the blank is controlling the in game experience at
Kroger Field. It's horrible, Uh, let us have someone else.
And they tagged me, which, you know, I don't know
if I'm for higher for Kroger Field to go around
the in game experience, but is it? Let me ask
you this. A lot of people were talking about playing
my old Kentucky home. Is it time to retire my

(30:12):
old Kentucky home at Kroger Field? I mean I personally
I like when it's played at the Kentucky Derby. I
don't know that I like it played at the basketball
and football games. Now they always play it after the
basketball games, right, which I feel like is sort of weird,
But whatever, the game's over at that point. But playing
it do they play? I think they play it? Is
it before? Well, they played before the anthem? I believe.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
I don't get to go to the games and not
hearing it through Tom and Jeff Pikoro. I believe it's
played before then. Do you think it just kills the
vibe that much that that's the problem with the atmosphere
because I think it could be played, but it's just
more of like situational songs that need to be played
a little differently, or just maybe like the the in
game experience between TV timeouts.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
My thing is this, like before the game, I don't
want anything so low to be played. I don't care
what it is. I mean, wait, unless it's the national anthem,
of course, but I'm talking about stuff that other than
that that you would play and you could have your
own free rain on what you would play. Why would
you play something slow like my old Kentucky Home. That
doesn't get the fans going, it doesn't get the players going.
You gotta do stuff that's gonna lift the energy and

(31:17):
keep the energy level there. You can't, you know, play
grocery party into my old Kentucky Home. I guess you
suck the air out of the whole thing. I agree.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
During the game, though, I mean, you got to remember
that football is just a melting pot of culture. Like
for this state, we all come together for four hours
every Saturday to watch Kentucky struggle to get a play
call in TIMS. But part of that is shared values
and traditions, and so like playing my old Kentucky home,
tradition does go a long way, But like I mean,

(31:46):
it just doesn't have the pop that maybe some other
traditions have.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
And that's the other thing, Like we have talked about
for years some sort of football tradition, and I feel
like we don't have any. Like they tried the big
drum when you bang on the drum and the crowd
chance go big Blue to the drum, but that that
didn't really work out too well. Specific to football, not many. Yeah,
I mean you got a coal whistle. Yeah, okay, but
does that get you going? I mean that's the third

(32:09):
down coal whistle. You'll get a little first down Kentucky. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
So, I mean besides that, we thought Grove Street was it,
and now I mean that was barely being played.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Eight five nine two twenty two eighty seven. Who's up next? Rick?
John Shorn is next? Hey John? What's going on?

Speaker 4 (32:26):
That must way for our biggies this week.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
I bet John would want some Bill Monroe played at
Kroger Field. That right, get everybody going. Maybe it's a
del McCurry band.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
Yeah, then we can have Bill and Roe.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
So I was like weving taking Tukey Wallace, Uncle you hit.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
I don't know about all that. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (32:48):
So and also when he keeps tell you home to huh.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
So if you think he wants he wants to keep it.
Of course he's a tribution, that's right. So how many
big is this? Kentucky went on Saturday?

Speaker 3 (32:59):
Okay, well, bess, I've had vegan sarity.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
We'll go sweet picks.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
Furda is Lady Knight forward Texas.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
Going to seek Pakesburg. We got I know we're gonna
do that because much what it did to s W
tournament last Septimber.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
All right, there you go, thanks for the college. Oh
thank you John. Volleyball up to the number three, I
believe now in the latest eight people.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Well, I mean after that great showing versus number one
and then be able to beat Penn State in straight sets,
I mean, this is Penn State that was hanging a
banner for winning the national championship and Kentucky comes in
and wins in three straight sets.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
I mean, this could be a real problem this year
as Kentucky. One person writes, the CPR protocol does not
do mouth to mouth anymore. Is that true? Is that true?

Speaker 4 (33:40):
What?

Speaker 1 (33:40):
I don't think that not at all. Can't be true.
Maybe maybe not pro call or raccoon CPR shows how
certified we are. Yeah, I mean we're still blowing into
that again again. Do you believe a person who says
their name is progressive twenty twenty four? I mean I'm
not believing that person. What does is there Twitter picture
of an emoji or like, actually is an emoji? So see, yeah,

(34:03):
I'll take it. I'll take it with a grain of salt.
Then a five twenty two eighty seven. We'll we'll get
some more phone calls coming up next, and we'll be
right back. If there is a by the way, a
cold plate near the cold play couple, there's an update
on that too. We have an update. We'll have we
have an update. We'll talk about that coming up next
year on the KSR Pre Show. Final segment of the
KSR Pre Show live at the corn Bread Hemp Farm

(34:24):
here in Lebanon at Shannon the Dude Billy Rutledge before
we hand it off to KSR coming up next. Cornbread
Help was recognized this year as the fastest growing business
in Kentucky and the fastest growing hemp brand in America
by the Prestigious Inc. Five thousand. I'm just talking about
that speakeasy that we went to about a month ago.
That was one of the coolest events I had ever been.
Oh yeah, ther Redheap Speakeasy was like you had to

(34:48):
have your email or your your email address to get
onto the trolley, which then had a guy who was
cosplaying on there and like as a conductor. Then they
take you over to the little Uh. I don't know
how to describe it. It's just like a stone wall
and there's a door and conspicuous door just just there.
Well that's yeah, that's how I want my speaking exactly.
I'm just saying it was one of the coolest things

(35:09):
I have ever been to. Then they had that the
police come in and shut it down at the end
of the night. It was it was really cool, like
you're back in the prohibition era.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
I I got a text from the text line that
confirmed that mouth to mouth is no longer a part
of recommended CPR. So I had to look it up
and they say, continuous chess compressions alone have been shown
to sustain blood circulation more effectively for people in cardiac arrests.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Wow. Okay, so they're actually even more efficient. So they
don't compression, so they don't need oxygen. They just need
the compressions. They just need that blood to circulate. Okay,
I'll keep that in mind. So don't lock lips with me.
Now I need CPR. I hope you don't need CPR.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Ever, I don't need the liplock. I also had a
crazy thing happened to us at the scramble yesterday. If
you have a sex sure, one of the worst things
that can happen in golf is you leave your putter
or your wedge on the green.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Before it happens. I do that, all happens a lot
I do.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
It happened to one of our teammates, Brandon his putter
on the green before it He's like, uh, oh, well.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Just leaves it. I was like, what I mean, aren't
those putters expensive?

Speaker 2 (36:07):
He's like, oh well, So then a couple leys later
he leaves his wedge on a whole Wow, and Shannon,
he doesn't go back and look for the wedge.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
I tell you know, you're playing with somebody with some money.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Different tax bracket than me. I would have let that
ruin my entire round. So I've been driving back and
forth trying to find his asking people where my putter is.
He's like, eh, lost two clubs.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
We'll just keep going. So did he have a backup
putter and a backup wedge or did he just not putt.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
He just had to use one of our putters during
the day. I mean, is there any is that ansane behavior?

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Is there any chance that your partner and maybe drank
a little too much before or during the scramble and
that's why he didn't.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
I mean, he was pretty coherent so it wasn't like
he was like belligerent or anything or just you know,
not a care in the world. But man, I put
one hundred and twenty dollars wedge on the green before
I'm going.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Back to Fine. Absolutely. I mean you would think that
the group behind you would pick that up and maybe
hand it off.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
So that's what we hoped. He was gonna check with
the club house afterwards. Hopefully somebody brought it in. Nobody
brought it in. No, he's always out two clubs, so
somebody walked home with two extra club.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
All right.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
So before we go back to the phones, there is
a little bit of an update in the cold Play couple.
You remember this when now, a little while ago, the
couple got on the kiss cam and clearly there was
something going on there. It turns out the two work together.
Uh he was I think what with the the HR
director or something like, he was the HRGEO CEO. Right, Yeah, Well,
it turns out that he has now spoken out and

(37:31):
says that he and his wife had already separated several
weeks before the cold Play show. My question to you, Billy,
do you actually believe that because he did not react
like somebody who wasn't in a relationship when he got
on the kiss camp. Is the update him or the
female that was already out of the relationship. He was
saying that they agreed to break it off weeks before

(37:52):
the cold Play show. Okay, but again, we've all seen
the video. He doesn't look like a guy who was
completely innocent in the situation. Do you think that maybe
he was reacting that way for her sake, that the
woman he was with, the HR director, or do you
think that maybe there's not any truth but he actually
was still with his wife at the time.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Well, look, no matter what's going on in his personal life,
you still can't do that with the chief HR operator
of the company.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
That you're the CEO of. And that's already out of bounds.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
I mean, infidelity is already a big part of this,
But that doesn't really change the story for me much
if he had just agreed to separate with their significant
other a week or two before the concert. I mean,
I'm for people finding love, Shannon, but you can't be
can't be doing that, as Andy would say, right, that's
a little it's a little foul to be doing it
inside the company like that.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
Let's go to Matt. Hey, Matt, what's up? Matt?

Speaker 4 (38:45):
Hey, guys, hey get out.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
Oh you out in the garden this morning?

Speaker 4 (38:49):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 1 (38:50):
This is our guy.

Speaker 4 (38:50):
Yeah, I just put my cover hols on, get ready
to go out there. And I just like a sound said,
looking for love and all the wrong places.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
You know, that's play couple. That's right, you don't look
for love concert.

Speaker 4 (39:05):
I was gonna tell you, well, Billy kind of answered it.
I was going to answer you all's question about the CPR.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
I'm a certified me e T for Underground Minds, And uh, yeah,
you don't have to you're not trained to do mouth
to mouth anymore. But there is an apparatus that that
kind of pumps air into the mouth where you don't
physically have to do it, you know, face to face.
But uh but I want if there's people around, they

(39:35):
all need to give Shannon the dude a round.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
Of applause because your pumpkin patch looks awesome.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Dude. You yeah, there are people here that not one
person is clipping right now for my pumpkins, respecting my pumpkins.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
I mean, I mean, yeah, man, your golf game, they
have go ahead, Sandy.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
No, no, we don't need to talk about it. Talk
about talking about Bump. Nobody cares about Billy his golf game.
But you know, Matt, you could be out here at
the corn bread hemp garden. You could be out here
with all the hemp plants. That that's where you should
be right now here here in Lebanon.

Speaker 4 (40:14):
Do they LAO like to come and visit? Like, do
they like, you know, people to come and visit?

Speaker 2 (40:24):
Well, today, I don't wander up. I don't think you
could just take your shoes off and walk in there here.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
I mean, if you were here today and you did it,
I don't think the gym would probably object. He would
probably let you do your thing. But uh, I don't
think you can just wander up regular day.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
I would love to. If I didn't live so far away,
I'd be there. But you all have a blast day
and uh and go cat all right.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
Man, thanks for the call. Were talking about my golf game.
Nobody wants to hear about it.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
Game.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
