Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show.
Today is Thursday, October twenty third, and Billy Rutlich along
with Shannon the Dude. You can give us call on
the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line that's eight five nine
two eight zero two two eight seven. You can text
us at five oh two two six five six six
five six And as always, the KSR pre Show is
(00:23):
brought to you by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington,
Kentucky at the City Center on Main Street. That's where
I'm at today. When I walked into the office, they
were playing plinko in one of the one of the
rooms and Shannon, I was a little jealous of that.
Good morning, how are.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You playing plinko? Huh? Glad to see something productive being done.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Well, I think the sales force like they do it
as like a reward, Like you know, you book a
big client or a remote and you can play a
little plinko and you get some like prizes at the bottom.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
That's cool. Nice, we could play that, I know.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I mean, where's my opportunity exact play twenty five dollars
card or something like that. I was just so disappointed.
How tiny those boards were Remember we were talking about
we were.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Talking about we thought it was like a life size Plinko.
I'm like, I don't know. I guess i'd have to
put it in my backyard. It's so big.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
And then you get it and it's like a foot tall. Yeah,
it's like a computer, a ripoff, a miniature version of Plinko.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
It's good marketing, though. I mean, if you take a
camera a picture of it at just the right angle,
it can be a little deceiving, no doubt. Speaking of
co workers, it's odd that you spend more time with
your coworkers a lot of times, more so than your family.
I mean, I was thinking about it this morning. I mean,
I talk to you, Shannon, more regularly than any family
member that I have.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
That's true, Yeah, it is true. I mean think about it.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
You and I do in one hour a day, So
we're talking to each other for five hours a week.
Do you talk to your mom five hours, five hours
a week or anybody else in your family for that long?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Well, I mean like, no, no, maybe I should, you know,
maybe I should go see mom and dad a little
bit more, But I'm not like talking to them for
one hour a day. Like me and you do. I'm not.
I don't see them as much as I see some
of the people in the office. I mean, I'm seeing
you every Friday, Shannon, or at least every day on
this computer screen. I see people in the office every day.
(02:12):
It's similar when you go to class, right, you see
your classmates and your teacher more often than you do
your family a lot of times. And that's just I
don't know if I have any point about it, Channing.
It's just odd, right.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Just work culture.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I mean, you got to go to work, and it's
just kind of the way it is a lot of times,
especially if you don't live with somebody, then you're not
going to see them on a regular basis. But you
got to go to work every day and there's those
co workers, whether you like them or not, you got
to interact with them. And you know, yeah, it's it's
a good point because you think about life. What's the
point of life. It's spending time with people you love
(02:44):
and care about. I would think right right now, I'm
spending all this time with you me exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
And branding over in sales, and you know.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
As I said, people you love and care about, Oh,
meeting branded and cells.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
That's right. Well, when you spend more time with co workers,
they become part of your family. You do Christmas exchanges
and things like that. But if you ever heard the
term work wife, because that is becoming a more and
more popular thing with people in the workforce culture, so
much so that when I was at CVS going to
buy my cold and warm compress for my sty, I
(03:18):
went through the card section and they have cards for
your work wife. Now, now you're gonna you might be
getting into some trouble if you're getting a card for
your work wife, Shannon fair or foul on. Maybe you
know a birthday or like a anniversary, a big event,
you go and get a Hallmark card for your work wife.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, you can't do that if you're in a relationship.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Now, if you're not in a relationship, then it doesn't matter, right,
But I feel like that's you don't want to You
don't want to go down that down that road. If
you've got a relationship. That's going to cause some problems
at home.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
But you remember, babe, I mean I see them every day.
This is people that I work with.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
No, you cannot strictly business. Yeah, exactly till it's not.
You can't be having And if you're getting somebody you
call your work wife a card, then I think it's
you know, you're taking it to a different level if
you're going out to lunch with them and you know
you're working with them, and then you're getting them birthday cards.
I don't know, Like I don't get you birthday cards.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
No, you don't.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
You don't get me birthday cards.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
So I'm just saying it might cause a little trouble
back home with the fiance Billy, if you're doing that,
and especially she doesn't know about it. It's kind of like,
I don't know, is it cheating? It kind of feels
like it is.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
See, I don't know. It does feel a little weird though,
And don't worry, that's not happening over here. It's you're
more likely to go on that rooftop and join in
with those guys wrestling on top of that car than
I would have a workwife buy a card.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
You know it used to be my work wife. Well, yeah, Vanettie,
he wears the dress, no, sweet little Joy.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
That used to Joy. Yeah, she was she was like
my work grandma on my like it was like I
love Joy, and she'd give me a big hug, ask
me about my day. She have some candies.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Oh see, she would always because you know, like in
the cafeteria, I don't call it cafeterias. What would you
even call the kitchen, like the auditorium, the kitchen that
we had as a kitchen, not really a cafeteria, but
a kitchen. And she knows that I like almonds, so
she would just bring me like from the like they
keep all the snacks in the closet, so they just
ration them out to us. They don't give us like
(05:26):
everything that we have, so like we get like a
little bit here and there, like each day they'll put
out a couple of more bags of chips or like
bags of almonds or whatever. So she would always sneak
into the because she had the key to get into
the closet where all the stash was, and she would
always bring me almonds.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
So I called her almond Joy.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Oh, I hope she's doing good. I love that woman.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
She was.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
She was more of the work mom, I think.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
At that point. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Making cheers. Everybody's fed, and you're doing well. Working holidays too.
It's a thankless job, and I'm sure people listening out
there can think of somebody like that, right, I mean,
maybe it was the janitor when they were in school
that was extra friendly, or the unsung hero at work.
We all have people like that, So hopefully she's doing well.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah I caught her my work wife, but she's more
like a like you said, like a mom.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Making sure we're fed exactly yeah and then yeah exactly right.
Uh well, I mean, speaking of co workers in workplaces,
I might as well put a cot down in this studio, Shannon,
because it is the busy season. You know, we got
a basketball game starting tomorroworrow night.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yep, Number one per Due comes the Rupp Arena is
going to be very exciting.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
And where are we watching that game? Is it on
SEC plus Streight?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
You know, I'm not sure that you know, or I'll
be watching it right here in this damn studio because
then we've got a football game the next day versus Tennessee.
That postgam show will start around one two am, probably
with Drew Franklin, who's going to be joining me for
that one. So, I mean, the couch outside here is
not long enough. My feet hang off the side, Shannon,
(06:57):
So I mean, I might as well just blow up
the air man and just kind of move in here.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Well, you know, I think they probably got an air
mattress over there on that rooftop. If you want to
go back up you're talking about yesterday, go over there.
You can probably lay down. One of them will probably
give you a massage while you're lazy.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You think I'd give the massaging to each other.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
In one of the videos that I saw, you can
learn some kung fu, a hip toss and.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Get after stretch lab and I go over there and
then get a massage afterwards. Sounds like a good double dip.
So I'm excited for all these sports to come. You know,
the month of November is going to be crazy with
football and basketball, not to mention women's basketball starting up
the end of fall sports. But you know, it can
be a little much, and that's why I'm glad there's
(07:40):
no QMF couch here.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Well, yeah, you don't want that one.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
As we've talked about, it is the most infamous couch
in rock station history. I think the QMF couch, which
I think was in there for like fifty years since
the beginning of q ofmth. I don't think it was
ever washed. But a lot of things happened on that couch,
unspeakable things that we can't even talk about on the radio, but.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
More than a black light would show a lot of
stories for But you know, you're a collector of history.
You like to get fountains from bars in the you
have that couch.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Somehow, certain things that should just be left alone, and
that's one of them. Like I believe that couch is
still in the old Louisville building. Oh it's still there
because nobody wants to he wanted to touch No, Okay, yeah,
there's not enough plastic or rubber gloves that you could
put on to remove that couch without getting some sort
of disease.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
No, I understand. I mean we mentioned venetti in address,
and it was probably a situation that happened on that
couch too. If I've done two eight oho two two
eight seven, do you want to congratulate everybody with the
KSR website? Yesterday they celebrated the twenty year anniversary. Matt
went through memory lane talking about the start of the
website yesterday on the show. But like you know, a
(08:52):
big salute to Tyler Thompson and Zach Gagan and Jack Pilgrim,
Adam Luckett, Nick Roush, Phoenix Stevens. I'm probably missing a few,
but everybody that works to give us show prep every
morning on this show, Shannon, I think we do need
to thank them, and I think they all do a
good job, don't you.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Oh yeah, all of them do for sure, And we
definitely check it out when we're trying to figure out
what's the big story.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
For to today.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
We got to go to Kentucky Sports Radio dot com
and to think that that started in a basement with
two guys who had a vision and to see that
become one of what is the biggest college independent website
in America something like that. Yeah, I don't know what
the exact title is. I think I got close, but yeah,
it's pretty cool to see that and then go into
(09:35):
a radio show as well. That's I mean what we
got fifty affiliates or something like that across the state
and the KSI.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
And then we're going to be I think the radio
show will be celebrating fifteen years this year as well.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Just bold of.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Someone to start a website called Kentucky Sports Radio without
a radio show that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
That always stuck out to me. Yeah, you talk about manifesting.
We're going to call it Kentucky Sports Radio dot com.
But there's no radio show yet, but we'll get we'll
get there one day, and then we'll already have the
website in place once we do.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I tried to tell you at forty six Solutions, the
power of positivity manifesting things just speak it into existing.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Billy, feel like you're putting the cart in front of
the horse, you know, in that situation.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
But it worked out here we.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Are and especially back then when you're just like websites
are just becoming a thing and you can get a
lot of popularity starting a website, and you're starting a
website called Kentucky Sports Radio, I'm sure a little confusing
at first.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
The timming was perfect too for all of that, correct,
and with Caliperi becoming Kentucky's coach soon after the website
was created, I mean that that's the timming was perfect.
So yeah, congratulations to everybody at the website. And you
know it's now been bought out about on three. So
when you got a little website that you created that
(10:50):
could you know, barely hold traffic back in the day,
and I remember it had like a little purple boxes
on the screen they could they didn't even have blue.
You would think Kentucky, being a Kentucky website to.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Have blue and white. It was purple and white.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
You think that'd be the a layah.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
And to think that that became such a monster of
a website, so popular that you had this big company
on three coming in and buy it out is pretty incredible.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
It's a great success story.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yeah, great job to everybody involved, and looking forward to
the next twenty years for the website and to see
how it improves. Shannon, something that happened to me yesterday
I'm going to put on your radar as well, is
that I was invited to be an extra in a
movie that's shooting in Louisville.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Hmm, okay, well you know finally my time, dude, are
you taking my role?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Is that what you're doing?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Well? I first asked them is this a speaking role?
And they said no, And I said, okay, well I
had the perfect guy for you. Now, you know, I
think that you know limits the pool here a little bit.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
So who reached out to you was like a casting agency.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
No, it was a buddy who was just a book
casting agency and they need more people, and so he
was like, you know, you're the perfect guy for the job.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Can you tell us what the movie is?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
No, I can't can't reveal much besides that they are
shooting in Louisville and it's a Hallmark.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Moviek we need billiards sports on a Hallmark movie. So
you know, I've done this a couple of times, and
I told you the last time I did it was
a horrible experiences.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
That's the thing.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I asked him, like, how long it was going to be.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It's awful.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
He was like, he was there for eleven hours the
other day. I don't know if I got that in me.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
It Shannon like, well, I learned quickly that I don't
have that in me, especially when we're doing five pm
to five am and we're doing twelve hours overnight, freezing cold,
you're not getting paid that much. You're kind of standing
around most of the time doing nothing. And then I
got to be at work an hour after that, and
I realized I hadn't slept any and I gotta you know,
(12:37):
I got to go right back to work my actual job.
It's not worth it. It's really not. But I just
looked up the movie that I was a part of.
I guess if you won't.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Even say that Queen in the Ring.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
No, no, no, Well there's the other one, the other
one that's not out yet.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
It's called dead Man's Wire.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Oh that was the one. Was that you were a
police officer.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, yeah, that's the one that I was like, can
I go home? Like, I just want to leave.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I've got a radio show, have an actual job.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Like I don't know about all of you out here,
but I've got an actual job that's kind of important,
and I got to leave.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I could also see you just saying that to anybody
that would listen at four in the morning. Oh shoot too,
I are like, I have a job.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Well, the problem was, like I would just get my
car and leave if my car was on the filming
location site. The problem is they get you dressed at
one location, then you pile into like a caravan and
they take you, you know, five miles up the road
somewhere at a filming location, and now you don't have
your car, so you kind of.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Like that you can't really leave. I feel boxed in
at that point.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah, now I'm getting rassed, and I'm like, when is
this thing in a wrap?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
What are we doing?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
You know?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
He was asking me if I'm union or non union
and things like that. I was like, I don't know,
but I've got this giant sty on my eye, and
i don't know if I want to make my movie
debut with one eye almost close Shannon.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
So they needed somebody that maybe was a victim, somebody
get punched in the face.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
You'd be perfect. You wouldn't have to make up.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Usually you play the victim on the show, Shannon, me
playing it, you know, I'm not sure. Maybe it could
be a possibility, but no, that was cool, but you know,
just make sure you know that I thought about you first. Okay, Yeah,
asked if it was a speaking role or not. There No,
this is just mainly back.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Remember you're supposed to be my agent, right right. You're
looking out for movie roles for me that are speaking roles.
This one was not a speaking role. I have no
idea if I'll even be in the movie or not.
But it's coming out January sixteenth, according to IMDb.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Okay, well we've got something to look forward to. Then
another Shannon the Dude movie that we can put on
our radar. Radar along with his misogynist wrestling protester, we
now have the police officer that just wanted to leave
sets so he could go to work.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, exactly, I was ready to go patrol.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
If you watch Queen of the Ring though, you barely
even see me at all, and I spent like two
or three days. And it makes you wonder, like why
they pay people to do that because you could barely
I mean you could see you got somebody, and you
could barely even tell that was me if you weren't
looking for me, if you blinked and didn't know where
to look, he would never see me in the movie.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Well you say that, and I think there is an
ai female actress that's starting to be put into movies
and things like that. Yeah, and that's a slippery slope,
right because I don't know, I mean, you can make
them do anything at that point, and what's their likeness
and is it a real person or not. It's you know,
movies are going to change over the next fifty years,
(15:23):
no doubt. But if it's not a speaking role, it's
not For Shannon the Dude A five nine two eight
h two two eight seven Texas at five oh two
two six five six six five six. You know, more
NBA game action last night I watched a little bit
of that. We can talk about that in the twenty
seven different Wildcats that are in the NBA. That's hard
to believe. Twenty seven. That's a lot and much more
nonsense on the way. It is the case our pre show,
(15:48):
Welcome back, It is the case our pre show. Couple
movie stars in Billie Rutledge and Shannon the dude here.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
What movie you have Yourever Pennon? What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And I did some student films?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Oh you did?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Okay, So now you're a movie star in your mind?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I mean, okay, you are what your reality is? Your perception?
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Shannon?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
How you like that? One?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Whatever I want to hear from somebody that's got a
work wife or a work husband, maybe the time that
you went to the Coldplay concert, or the exchanging of
cards that you do during Christmas time. It's just bizarre
that people do have that. One person on the text
line did say that their AC is still on at
their house. They keep it at sixty five degrees. And
I'm right there with you, brother, right there with you.
(16:31):
I mean the house is getting down to like sixty sixtyes.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
At night, just holding on, huh, keeping the ac going.
I've had to turn the heat on a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Are oh you've put you've you've succumbed to it.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Yeah, when it gets down to like sixty five sixty six,
I'm like, no, I'm not sitting here freezing.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
See, but that's the perfect temperature, Shannon, sixty five sixty
six is helps you get into your deep sleep.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Oh is this thing for? Is that what science says?
Or is that what your fiance says?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
That's what my not my work wife, but my future wife. Yes,
you know tells me when I try to change the thermostat. Yeah,
to put that heat.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
On now for me, I don't know. I like to
keep it about seventy one, seventy two something like that.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Seventy two.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, seventy ten is not hot.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
But that that bill, that heat bill in the winter
is going to be a little bit high.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
I mean, not me.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
I got the new train system KLM heating and cooling.
Shout out, just put in a new system.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Okay, company man, trying to shout out here, just trying
to get another heat heating unit, but one. I just
got a brand new Okay, you already got one. Yeah,
that's why the shit. Yesterday, watched a little NBA action.
Watched Anthony Davis lose with the MAVs to the Spurs
one ninety two in a game in which Wimbin yamask
(17:45):
were my thirty points and had fifteen rebounds. He's seventy
four and just looks like he's playing a different sport
out there, doesn't.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
He He does, and it's not even fair.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I was watching some of his highlights just a minute ago,
some of the plays that he was making. It's like,
how do you even stop that? The answer is you can't.
You can you can't. But all your favorite NBA players
are back, and DraftKings, sportsbook and official sports betting partner

Speaker 1 (18:46):
It's the best time of the year. The Sports Equinox
is on Sunday, I believe where all four major sports
in the United States will have a game on the
same day, and we'll have the World Series on Friday,
so it is a great time if you are in
the sports world. Before we get to the phones, I
mentioned that twenty seven Wildcats are currently in the NBA.
That is obviously a high when it comes to colleges,
(19:08):
but Bleacher Report had a twenty twenty six NBA mock draft. Shannon,
it's never too early, and three Wildcats were on the list.
I'm going to tell you the guys and where they slot,
and you tell me if you think that's what their
future holds.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Okay, let's go.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
The highest ranked is Jaden Quainton's at number five. Oh,
top five pick a guy that's not expected to be
on the floor until maybe, I don't know, middle of
the season. Shannon's supposed to be top five in the
NBA next year. Cam Williams came in at number twenty
two and otega Oway came in at fifty four.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Really, Cam Williams came in there. That's the surprise for me. Yeah,
being in the drink too.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
And that's a guy that we've heard Matt and others
say that if he comes out and shoots really well,
then it's going to be tough to take him off
the floor. But if he can't, if he doesn't knock
down that open shot, he's great in a lot of
different areas, but you just can't keep him on the floor.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
So we're saying a guy who's projected to not even
start is going to be a first round draft pick.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's what they're saying. Isn't that wild? I mean, that's
a little read and rob shades, but that was more
defiance from the coach right not wanting to start them.
I mean Cam as somebody that was forgotten a little bit.
That you know, committed when the season was still going on,
could be a first round pick.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
If you said to me, guess, I would have said, oh, way,
Quaintance and maybe Jalen Lowe, right, But I would not
have expected if you say guess, I would have probably
had Cam Williams like my eighth guess maybe, And I
can't believe that they've gotten projected in the top I
guess the first round of the draft.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Oh take a Oway playing himself into a draft selection
as a transfer from Oklahoma that didn't have those prospects
has improved a lot. And then Jane Quainton's at five,
I mean five's hot.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I've play a game, so I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, I mean either, I mean, there is a lot
of hype for this guy. I mean, it's the whole
thing about Louisville scheduling early to not play Jaden Quainton's
I mean this guy, I mean, I'm not going to
say he'd better come in and play really well, but
I think the expectation is if Brandon Garrison doesn't become
the world beater that you want him to become, then
Jane Quainton seems to come in and play well.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
He does. I would also think that maybe a guy
who's already played professionally might be a guy that would
be drafted oh the NBA Yellowvich, But I guess he's
not even on the list.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Yeah, you just never know how those transitions are.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
So is it the case that European basketball is so.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Like bad compared to the NBA that these guys aren't
even talked about going out and play professionally in Europe
but you can't play it professionally for the NBA.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Well, we see plenty of European professionals get drafted in
the lottery every year in the NBA, so they obviously
have talent. I think when I mentioned transitioning, I mean
the physicality of the game, you know. I think there's
a much bigger emphasis on on you know, just ball
movement and a lot of different things that maybe in
the NBA or college game are much much different, especially
(21:58):
when you're going to the SEC, who just came off
the best season a single conference has ever had. It's
a little different than Pepe and his penciltan mustache backing
you down in the paint, right.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Oh yeah, you will get beat up in the SEC.
I don't know where that.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Backing you down, you know, hook shot over you. It's
just a different game. But now they're very talented. They
get drafted all the time. Yellovich is a wild card though,
I mean, stay healthy, lay off the Papa John's.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Maybe you can be a contributor for the team A
five two to eighty seven. We'll take a break and
be back here on the pre show. Welcome back Billy
and the Dude, the show before the show, KSR coming
up next. Until then, you got us. We've got some
breaking news this morning. The Department of Justice is expected
to make an announcement at ten am Eastern time that
(22:50):
involves numerous arrests in illegal sports betting and poker games schemes. Wow,
and already this morning, Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, the
former Louisville carder, was arrested as part of the FBI's
sports betting gambling probe. So this is we got some
news coming this morning. Pablo Torre also doing a lot
of reporting on this about some of the players that
(23:11):
are going to be involved.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Yeah, here's another one. I saw that Myron Metcalf just
retweeted here It says Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups
arrested by the FBI for a lot to illegal gambling,
sources tell ESPN.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
So this is not like betting on your DraftKings app
while you're a player. This is more like points shaving
and things like that. So this is this is interesting
and we are going to see a big development today
when it comes to professional sports. And you know, as
gambling has become more and more prevalent in mainstream, this
is something that was expected, right, It's something that's happened
(23:43):
in sports for a while. But to see it done
so brazenly times that it's just this is another headline
in twenty twenty five, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
But the thought that you could get away with that,
like they're going to catch you, and why would you
do it?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
You've already you're already a professional. You have all this money.
Why do you need more money?
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I guess it's just the thrill. Well, how's the thrill
going to prison? How's that gonna work out for you?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Like I just I think of the Alabama baseball coach
that's calling the guy that's in the casino at the teller,
like telling him that his starting pictures now out and
you should bet the other team and things like that.
It's just people are stupid. Yeah, and it sounds like
Chauncey Phillips and Terry Rozier can be added to the list.
Uh five nine two two eight seven. Let's take a
call here, dude, let's go to super Dave that's been
(24:28):
patially waiting. What's up, Super Dave?
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Hey, guys, how you did? And I had a good
laugh this morning when I heard Billy was gonna be
in a Hallmark Christmas movie.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Well that's not confirmed.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah yeah, yeah, not Christmas either, just a just a
Hallmark you know, feel good story.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Well Billy, I mean that's that's about as sappy as
you can get. So I don't know anyway, Uh yeah,
I heard the news about uh uh and chomps that.
It doesn't surprise me that this is going to happen.
I mean, eventually it's going to come down the line too.
You know, people are just greedy. I mean, it's so
(25:08):
much greed drive the world right now, it's just amazing.
But also I wanted to I wanted to come in
on the on the football team. I'm getting to a
point where I just I almost can't watch them anymore
because I mean, I know they've improved a little bit,
but they just cannot score any points. And it's just
kind of disheartening to see, you know, this program and
(25:30):
where it is right now. So I'll hang up and listen,
and uh.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
You guys have a good na.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Thank you, super Dave. Yeah, it's you know, it's demoralizing
when your team can't score two touchdowns in a game
and you're coming up against a team that averages forty
plus a game.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Just how checked out do you think the fan base
will be for this game against Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
I mean it's a bitter rival.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Yeah, you can't let Orange just completely take over Krogerfield.
I mean that would be embarrassing if they brought in
more fans than we did and then kicked our butt
on our own field.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I mean, it's going to be really easy to sell
to Tennessee fans and they're on the border. They're going
to be coming up. They're going to want to take
over Commonwealth Stadium or Kroger Field as some people might
call it. So you're right, but I like to think
this is a rivalry game. They showed a lot of
fight versus Texas, come on and support the Cats. But
I understand the opposite viewpoint too, right, I mean, I
(26:24):
understand you've paid more money for less home games, your
tailgating section has gotten has shrunk, and you're not happy
with the product on the field. So I get that too,
and I at least Mark Stoops is saying that. Now
that's been the biggest change I think over the last
week or so. Is that Stoops I think is reading
the room and there riding on the wall At this point.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I would just say, though, if you're a season ticket holder,
don't sell the tickets to just anybody in the open market.
Try to make sure you get it to a Kentucky fan,
because if you just put it out there on a
third party website, then more than likely a Tennessee fan's going.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
To buy it.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Okay, So Shannon the Dude has a ticket for sale.
One buyer, as a Tennessee fan, is off for ring
four hundred and fifty dollars for the ticket, and the
Kentucky fan will only pay you three seventy five. Which
one are you gonna take?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Why is the Kentucky fan being cheap?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
So what I would say, I just know which decision
you're gonna make? Well, I would tell the Kentucky fan
the pony up. Okay, that's I would find it. I
would find a richer Kentucky's an open wound, right, I
would find that.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I mean, you're hurting.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I would find a richer Kentucky fan.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
I would cut that Kentucky fan out and find one
that has more money, probably.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Like John Short who's probably got the money four tickets
like that? What's up?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
John?
Speaker 4 (27:30):
That much?
Speaker 6 (27:31):
Your great Americans?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
So we're you're American, buddy, Okay, I'm.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
Ready for big games this week We're will be for
do but team Biggins and Tennessee by Team Biggins.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I would take that.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
That would be a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yeah, it would be.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
And also we'll well, I think we'll play tickets. Ain't
eame of soccer this coming Sunday?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Hmm?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Well, we rely on you for the wind.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
So John, Yeah, wasn't that went about twenty Biggins?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Twenty Biggins in a soccer game? John, That'd be a
little out of hand. That'd be cruel and unusual punishment,
wouldn't it.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
He would? But I know you can't talk about this one.
We are swimming began this weekend. We lost Indiana. We
lost Indiana, and swimming.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Can't be losing to those hoosiers.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I love John stay on top of the swimming team
as well too, because you.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
Don't have it talked about it than why not herb?
We won five events, we lost the Indiana.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Did we win the water polo competition?
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Or do we lose that one?
Speaker 6 (28:31):
I didn't hear anything about that?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
What about the What about the Hide and Seek League?
Did we beat Indiana in that?
Speaker 4 (28:39):
No?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
What about the Paintball League?
Speaker 5 (28:43):
I don't know about that?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
How about that one either?
Speaker 5 (28:45):
All right?
Speaker 3 (28:45):
I thought you had all the answers, John, all right,
good to hear from you, John, But at least.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
And let me let me say this, Let me say this. Yeah,
but that's only talked about it putting in the movie
this is Johnny Russell song. And then what John buck
Goins had it out.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
That's right, that's right, it's good stuff. John knows all
the old school song trivia. He always has a good
song boys hundred years ago that we should listen to.
Thanks for the college, John, We appreciate John. Five nine
two two two eight seven.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
If you would like to join Indiana football fans have
been coming out of the woodwork lately.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
I mean as they should. They should be pounding their
chest number two in the country.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Who would have ever thought that I was going to
say Indiana fans would win in a hide and seek
contest because they've been hiding for quite a while, though
you know not anymore. We released NFL Cover zero this morning.
There were a lot of funny topics in the NFL.
I just want to run through a couple of.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Them with you.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
If you had a second, I mean, I guess you
got seventeen more stuck here with you regardless, so you
got to listen. Anyway. The Baltimore Ravens are one in
five on the season, and now it's time to get serious.
The Baltimore Sun is reporting that the Ravens are removing
their ping pong table, their video games, their basketball hoop,
and their cornhole boards from their locker room.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I love this.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
It's like they're treating these guys, these athletes, like they're
four year olds, Like, don't make me turn this car around.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
You better behave yourself.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
I'm gonna take I'm gonna take your PlayStation from you
if you don't start winning some games.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
No I love it.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
I think that maybe there's too many distractions off the
field and in the locker room and they need to
focus on winning some games. It's amazing to me that
Baltimore is really that bad. I mean, I know they
lost Lamar to an injury, but they weren't great this
season when they had him even No.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
They've struggled a lot, but I just feel like you're
giving a lot of power to the ping pong table, right,
I mean, if you're remove the ping pong table, that
was that the problem.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
To begin with. I mean, I don't know, it didn't
help anything. I could tell you.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
If they removed the ping pong table from Horton Hall
at Wendsy Wilson, then I don't know what I would
have done, because that was the only kind of entertainment
that I had.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
There for a year.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Yeah, builds the relationship between your teammates, but I guess
if you're playing too much ping pong, you can start
losing games pretty quickly. The Jets owner Woody Johnson, the
Jets are zero to seven. Woody Johnson made some public
comments about his quarterback and his head coach, and when
talking about head coach Aaron Glunn. He said he hugs
him every day to show him support. Really, he hugs
(31:08):
him every day. He gives him a hug and some
positive words of affirmation.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
Do you like that?
Speaker 2 (31:14):
No for an NFL player.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
No, a coach, a head coach.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I know, a coach, right, yeah, coach Cocher comes down,
you know the managing Okay, the owner is hugging the coach.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
The owner comes in and hugs the coach every day
and gives him some words of encouragement.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
No. No, we need our coaches to be a little
little tougher. They don't need hugs and kisses before they
go out there and coach a game. Could you imagine
a bit Mitch Barnhart, I almost said, Mitch Barnhart came
down and gave Mark Stevens a hug, and maybe that's
what he needs.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I don't know, see, that's what I was going to go.
I mean, sometimes I just need a hug. Sometimes I
just need a little support from my boss's Shannon. But
every day, and in like a very masculine setting is
in a professional football team too.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I don't know, it's this is uh, win a football game,
then we'll give Mark Steez.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Hug I'll give you a hug when you deserve a
hugger And yeah, I mean I'm paying you millions of
dollars for you to go oh to seven? Do you
need a hug too? Every day? Okay, I've flipped. No,
don't give him a hug. Give him win a game
before he gets a hug.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I'd be giving him a hug and uh slipping his
walking papers in his back pocket.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
So you're fired to get out of here. Can't even
win a game.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
And finally, the Sunday night matchup is Green Bay traveling
to Pittsburgh. There's been a lot of issues with Pittsburgh's field.
Their grass field has been messing up. People have been
getting hurt on it, people slipping on it. So when
head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about it, he said,
I'm not a grass expert. I haven't cut my own
grass in a long long time. I'm gonna stay in
my lane. I don't even know who cuts my grass.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
There you go, I mean a guy like that NFL coach,
would you expect him to be out there cutting his
own grass weed, weed eating and edging and all that.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
No, of course not. So that's no surprise that he does.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
You think the majority of head coaches in the NFL
don't cut their own grass.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Who do you think in the NFL is cutting their
own grass?
Speaker 4 (33:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
You may get millions upon millions upon millions of dollars
and you're out there cutting your grass.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Well, there is something to cutting your grass. It can
be you know, stress reducing.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
I guess I hate cutting my grass. Anybody wants to
cut my grass, come home.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
But like, this was what we talked about on cover
zero because we brought up this story. I mean, what
about the guy that does cut his grass. He probably
tells everybody that he cuts Mike Tomlins grass. It's probably
a point of emphasis for him. And now Mike Tomlin's
just like, I don't even know who cuts my grass. Yeah,
this guy that cuts his grass has got it on
his resume.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
I cut some at night.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah, did Tomlins house?
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Like?
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Yeah, cut the coaches grass today. He doesn't even know
checkerboard pattern today in the front lawn. I hope he
likes it. Yeah, carved the Steeler's logo in the backyard
and the grass he doesn't even know it.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
And then he goes to under Toplin and just say
I don't even know who the hell cuts my grass.
I mean, why would I care?
Speaker 3 (33:56):
I would say, though he's getting paid a lot of
money to cut that grass. If you're cutting the grass
somebody that's an athlete, I mean, you can name your price, right.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
There's also a group of people that go around cutting
all the lots in our neighborhood that we live in,
so obviously it's a thing. I mean, there's people of
a certain age that don't want to cut their grass either.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
There's another storyline with this Green Bay Steelers game too.
Have you seen the uniforms, the jerseys that Pittsburgh's wearing. No,
they're going to be like all yellow and the helmets
will be all yellow. And it looks like that their
helmet color is the exact same color as the Packers.
So if they're truly going to be wearing these, it
is going to be kind of confusing to see who's
(34:35):
on what team. But I don't know why they're deciding
to do that against a team like the Packers. Who
has a gold helmet?
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Have you seen it?
Speaker 1 (34:41):
No, I'm still looking it up. Nineteen thirty three. Oh
my gosh, look at those jerseys. Yeah, those are very
similar yellow to the Green Bay Packers. Well, maybe the
Packers should wear their white helmet or a throwbacker themselves,
because you're right, this is when you like restart the
game in Madden. Because you both chose the same color,
you can't see you can't see which players which.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
So they've got like gold helmets talking about the Steelers here, yeah,
and gold jerseys and the Packers. I guess we'll be
wearing gold helmets with the white jerseys. Still, it's gonna
be confusing because the helmet color so so similar.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. That seems like a mistake,
doesn't it. It seems like an oversight maybe something that
just people aren't thinking about while they're worried about wearing
throwback jerseys. Well, hey, let me tell you about Stretch
Lab before we go to our next break. Shain and
Stretch Lab has been a sponsor of the Case our
pre show over the last couple months. It's a place
that I've been going to to help improve my posture,
increase my range of motion, reduce stress, and reduce muscle
(35:42):
and joint pain. If you don't know what stretch Lab is,
it's a bootique fitness franchise franchise that offers customized one
on one assisted stretching by a trained flexologist and a
modern and friendly communal environment. I've enjoyed going over the
last couple of months, but every time I go, there's
also an older woman that goes about the same time
is me. Her name's Elizabeth, and Elizabeth, you know, I
(36:02):
kind of help her out of her car, Shannon, I
help her get her walker out of her car. We've
developed and built a friendship over the last month or so,
but she's talked a lot about how much her quality
of life has improved, how much she's been able to
walk around the house after working with Stretch Labs, and
they can do the same for you get your quality
of life back. And if you use promo code Bogies
with Billy, you can get a fifty minute one on
(36:25):
one assisted stretch with a computerized mobility assessment for just
forty nine dollars. That's Bogie's with Billy as the promo code.
They have a studio in Lexington and Fort Wright. And
you really don't know how important stretching is until you
get to that certain age. And Shannon, since I turned
thirty recently, I think I'm about at that age, and well, see,
(36:46):
I think maybe even you would need something like Stretch Lab, Shannon.
We got to get you in there so you can
get out of bed healthy and happy every day. It's
Stretch Lab. Check it out and use promo code Bogies.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
With Billy Packers are wearing the white helmets.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
I just thought that was there. He goes just updated yesterday.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
A heady move by the equipment team there to make
sure it's not all mustard yellow eight five nine two
A two two eighty seven. And we'll take a break
and beer right back here on the ksrpre Show. Welcome back.
It's a KSR APPRECIOO. I'm pre show. I'm sure some
of you and your work wives have listened to a
little cold play.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
So we're just talking during the break about is it
Tim donnayu, Donnie? What are the guy's name in the
NBA ref Yeah, the guy that ended up going to
prison because he was, uh, he was throwing games. You
know what I'm talking about, right, Yeah, And I was
telling you I was looking up to like to see
how long he got sentenced too, And he was in
prison according to this that I'm looking at for fifteen months,
(37:44):
and you said that's it. I was like, yeah, but
it's still fifteen months in prison. And you said to me, Billy,
I could do fifteen months in prison. There's no dude,
you would not last two weeks in prison. I feel
like this is something we need to do. Can we
put you in prison?
Speaker 1 (38:01):
This is not a Ryan Lemon goes to ks jail
for five days, because.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Jail prison, prison's a different beast.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Yeah, I could do fifteen months, much more than that. No,
you know, solitary confinement. No, I you know, I'm gonna
go crazy talking to myself then there. But you know,
if Billy, our sports has got to survive.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Fifteen I wish there was a way we could put
you in prison for fifteen months.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
I bet you do.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
I bet you do.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Wish that, and then this show would ratings would go
in the in the cellar.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Why would they go in the cellar?
Speaker 3 (38:31):
We'd still oh, you think, because you would be in
prison and we couldn't do without you, got it?
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Okay, okay, right?
Speaker 3 (38:37):
But anyway, you know, I think we could send the
comras over to you, have you hooked up every morning
from prison.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
No, let me let me work on the j but
we'll we'll be cool scene in the bar over there.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
We'll bake you a cake with a nail foul in
the middle of it.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Are you gonna come visit?
Speaker 4 (38:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (38:54):
What do you mean? No? Put me in prison for
fifteen months. You're not even come say hi?
Speaker 4 (38:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, we were doing the show every day from prison.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
I'm not and I'm not doing crap if I'm in prison.
Let's go back to the phone, shann who's up next?
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Let's go to Kentucky gas man?
Speaker 1 (39:09):
What's up? Gas man?
Speaker 6 (39:12):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (39:12):
You know, just living some fuel today. The grass cutting
is kind of slowing down, and the heat noles picking up.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
The gas prices, Oh they're good, man.
Speaker 5 (39:22):
Especially compared to you know, last year. It's about down
a dollar a gallon, especially deep. Yeah, you can almost
get diesel for the same price you can gas now.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Sweet good.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
But anyway, just wanted to say, hey, you ain't getting
no hug from Matt Jones.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Just will let you know, nor do we want one?
Speaker 5 (39:42):
Okay, Hey, the other day when the day the Rockets
played that night and you know, reached Schaeffer, but I
think it actually went off at two threes. But for
a long time though you could have got at one
and a half and you some of you all bet in.
I'm not a gambling man, but I'm just curious, and
I'm just using him for example. So let's what stops
(40:04):
Jeff Sheppard from calling up Reid said say hey, Read,
like make sure you don't make two threes? And and
I guess what I'm trying to say is like, so
is there is there is there a restriction put on
people's draft teams account as to well you can't bet
(40:25):
or I don't really don't know how that works, but
I just don't know.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Yeah, I mean, well I don't know.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Yeah, I don't know why Jeff Jeff would call up
Read and say, hey, don't do that, because I mean,
Read's trying to fight for his spot as a starting
uh point guard for for the Rockets, right, So.
Speaker 5 (40:41):
I mean, I'm just using that as an example, though
I know he wouldn't do that. I'm just using that
scenario as an example.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
Like what stops nothing?
Speaker 2 (40:51):
I mean nothing, nothing. I mean, I'm sure that stuff
happens all the time.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
But if you get caught, is it you know again,
if you read Shepherd, is it worth risking your entire
career for that?
Speaker 2 (41:00):
And you know, I think that's what How would you.
Speaker 5 (41:02):
Get how would you get caught?
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Well, they would, they would monitor. I mean, you have
to be a real person to sign up for these sites, yea.
And so they're going to very closely monitor anybody in
the NBA or the association that signs up for these sites.
And then you have to go into the activity in
which that it's bet on. Yeah, like when people all,
like a ton of people bet huge money on Reed
Shepherd under on threes and then that under comes in,
(41:25):
there's going to be more investigator.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Finds like twenty grand on it or something.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
You know, like they're gonna they're gonna look for suspicious activity.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
I would I would say on their build.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
A lot of things are monitored like that. But I'd
also say, like their integrity and pride is probably what
holds them back from doing something like this. You work
your entire life to get to this moment and then
it's to a point where you're fighting for a roster spot,
right and at the same time, if you were to
ever get caught, your band for life.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
That's right. Yep, thanks, thank you.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
Speaking of betting, Draft King SPORTSBOOKSR PET five dollars you're
gonna get three hundred dollars in bonus bets and three
months of NBA Past the Crown is yours.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
That's gonna do it for us. We're chanting the Dude
on Billy Rutledge has been the case our pre show.
Talk to you tomorrow,
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show.
Today is Thursday, October twenty third, and Billy Rutlich along
with Shannon the Dude. You can give us call on
the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line that's eight five nine
two eight zero two two eight seven. You can text
us at five oh two two six five six six
five six And as always, the KSR pre Show is
(00:23):
brought to you by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington,
Kentucky at the City Center on Main Street. That's where
I'm at today. When I walked into the office, they
were playing plinko in one of the one of the
rooms and Shannon, I was a little jealous of that.
Good morning, how are.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You playing plinko? Huh? Glad to see something productive being done.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Well, I think the sales force like they do it
as like a reward, Like you know, you book a
big client or a remote and you can play a
little plinko and you get some like prizes at the bottom.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
That's cool. Nice, we could play that, I know.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I mean, where's my opportunity exact play twenty five dollars
card or something like that. I was just so disappointed.
How tiny those boards were Remember we were talking about
we were.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Talking about we thought it was like a life size Plinko.
I'm like, I don't know. I guess i'd have to
put it in my backyard. It's so big.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
And then you get it and it's like a foot tall. Yeah,
it's like a computer, a ripoff, a miniature version of Plinko.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
It's good marketing, though. I mean, if you take a
camera a picture of it at just the right angle,
it can be a little deceiving, no doubt. Speaking of
co workers, it's odd that you spend more time with
your coworkers a lot of times, more so than your family.
I mean, I was thinking about it this morning. I mean,
I talk to you, Shannon, more regularly than any family
member that I have.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
That's true, Yeah, it is true. I mean think about it.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
You and I do in one hour a day, So
we're talking to each other for five hours a week.
Do you talk to your mom five hours, five hours
a week or anybody else in your family for that long?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Well, I mean like, no, no, maybe I should, you know,
maybe I should go see mom and dad a little
bit more, But I'm not like talking to them for
one hour a day. Like me and you do. I'm not.
I don't see them as much as I see some
of the people in the office. I mean, I'm seeing
you every Friday, Shannon, or at least every day on
this computer screen. I see people in the office every day.
(02:12):
It's similar when you go to class, right, you see
your classmates and your teacher more often than you do
your family a lot of times. And that's just I
don't know if I have any point about it, Channing.
It's just odd, right.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Just work culture.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I mean, you got to go to work, and it's
just kind of the way it is a lot of times,
especially if you don't live with somebody, then you're not
going to see them on a regular basis. But you
got to go to work every day and there's those
co workers, whether you like them or not, you got
to interact with them. And you know, yeah, it's it's
a good point because you think about life. What's the
point of life. It's spending time with people you love
(02:44):
and care about. I would think right right now, I'm
spending all this time with you me exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
And branding over in sales, and you know.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
As I said, people you love and care about, Oh,
meeting branded and cells.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
That's right. Well, when you spend more time with co workers,
they become part of your family. You do Christmas exchanges
and things like that. But if you ever heard the
term work wife, because that is becoming a more and
more popular thing with people in the workforce culture, so
much so that when I was at CVS going to
buy my cold and warm compress for my sty, I
(03:18):
went through the card section and they have cards for
your work wife. Now, now you're gonna you might be
getting into some trouble if you're getting a card for
your work wife, Shannon fair or foul on. Maybe you
know a birthday or like a anniversary, a big event,
you go and get a Hallmark card for your work wife.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, you can't do that if you're in a relationship.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Now, if you're not in a relationship, then it doesn't matter, right,
But I feel like that's you don't want to You
don't want to go down that down that road. If
you've got a relationship. That's going to cause some problems
at home.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
But you remember, babe, I mean I see them every day.
This is people that I work with.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
No, you cannot strictly business. Yeah, exactly till it's not.
You can't be having And if you're getting somebody you
call your work wife a card, then I think it's
you know, you're taking it to a different level if
you're going out to lunch with them and you know
you're working with them, and then you're getting them birthday cards.
I don't know, Like I don't get you birthday cards.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
No, you don't.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
You don't get me birthday cards.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
So I'm just saying it might cause a little trouble
back home with the fiance Billy, if you're doing that,
and especially she doesn't know about it. It's kind of like,
I don't know, is it cheating? It kind of feels
like it is.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
See, I don't know. It does feel a little weird though,
And don't worry, that's not happening over here. It's you're
more likely to go on that rooftop and join in
with those guys wrestling on top of that car than
I would have a workwife buy a card.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
You know it used to be my work wife. Well, yeah, Vanettie,
he wears the dress, no, sweet little Joy.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
That used to Joy. Yeah, she was she was like
my work grandma on my like it was like I
love Joy, and she'd give me a big hug, ask
me about my day. She have some candies.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Oh see, she would always because you know, like in
the cafeteria, I don't call it cafeterias. What would you
even call the kitchen, like the auditorium, the kitchen that
we had as a kitchen, not really a cafeteria, but
a kitchen. And she knows that I like almonds, so
she would just bring me like from the like they
keep all the snacks in the closet, so they just
ration them out to us. They don't give us like
(05:26):
everything that we have, so like we get like a
little bit here and there, like each day they'll put
out a couple of more bags of chips or like
bags of almonds or whatever. So she would always sneak
into the because she had the key to get into
the closet where all the stash was, and she would
always bring me almonds.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
So I called her almond Joy.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Oh, I hope she's doing good. I love that woman.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
She was.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
She was more of the work mom, I think.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
At that point. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Making cheers. Everybody's fed, and you're doing well. Working holidays too.
It's a thankless job, and I'm sure people listening out
there can think of somebody like that, right, I mean,
maybe it was the janitor when they were in school
that was extra friendly, or the unsung hero at work.
We all have people like that, So hopefully she's doing well.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah I caught her my work wife, but she's more
like a like you said, like a mom.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Making sure we're fed exactly yeah and then yeah exactly right.
Uh well, I mean, speaking of co workers in workplaces,
I might as well put a cot down in this studio, Shannon,
because it is the busy season. You know, we got
a basketball game starting tomorroworrow night.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yep, Number one per Due comes the Rupp Arena is
going to be very exciting.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
And where are we watching that game? Is it on
SEC plus Streight?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
You know, I'm not sure that you know, or I'll
be watching it right here in this damn studio because
then we've got a football game the next day versus Tennessee.
That postgam show will start around one two am, probably
with Drew Franklin, who's going to be joining me for
that one. So, I mean, the couch outside here is
not long enough. My feet hang off the side, Shannon,
(06:57):
So I mean, I might as well just blow up
the air man and just kind of move in here.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Well, you know, I think they probably got an air
mattress over there on that rooftop. If you want to
go back up you're talking about yesterday, go over there.
You can probably lay down. One of them will probably
give you a massage while you're lazy.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You think I'd give the massaging to each other.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
In one of the videos that I saw, you can
learn some kung fu, a hip toss and.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Get after stretch lab and I go over there and
then get a massage afterwards. Sounds like a good double dip.
So I'm excited for all these sports to come. You know,
the month of November is going to be crazy with
football and basketball, not to mention women's basketball starting up
the end of fall sports. But you know, it can
be a little much, and that's why I'm glad there's
(07:40):
no QMF couch here.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Well, yeah, you don't want that one.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
As we've talked about, it is the most infamous couch
in rock station history. I think the QMF couch, which
I think was in there for like fifty years since
the beginning of q ofmth. I don't think it was
ever washed. But a lot of things happened on that couch,
unspeakable things that we can't even talk about on the radio, but.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
More than a black light would show a lot of
stories for But you know, you're a collector of history.
You like to get fountains from bars in the you
have that couch.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Somehow, certain things that should just be left alone, and
that's one of them. Like I believe that couch is
still in the old Louisville building. Oh it's still there
because nobody wants to he wanted to touch No, Okay, yeah,
there's not enough plastic or rubber gloves that you could
put on to remove that couch without getting some sort
of disease.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
No, I understand. I mean we mentioned venetti in address,
and it was probably a situation that happened on that
couch too. If I've done two eight oho two two
eight seven, do you want to congratulate everybody with the
KSR website? Yesterday they celebrated the twenty year anniversary. Matt
went through memory lane talking about the start of the
website yesterday on the show. But like you know, a
(08:52):
big salute to Tyler Thompson and Zach Gagan and Jack Pilgrim,
Adam Luckett, Nick Roush, Phoenix Stevens. I'm probably missing a few,
but everybody that works to give us show prep every
morning on this show, Shannon, I think we do need
to thank them, and I think they all do a
good job, don't you.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Oh yeah, all of them do for sure, And we
definitely check it out when we're trying to figure out
what's the big story.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
For to today.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
We got to go to Kentucky Sports Radio dot com
and to think that that started in a basement with
two guys who had a vision and to see that
become one of what is the biggest college independent website
in America something like that. Yeah, I don't know what
the exact title is. I think I got close, but yeah,
it's pretty cool to see that and then go into
(09:35):
a radio show as well. That's I mean what we
got fifty affiliates or something like that across the state
and the KSI.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
And then we're going to be I think the radio
show will be celebrating fifteen years this year as well.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Just bold of.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Someone to start a website called Kentucky Sports Radio without
a radio show that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
That always stuck out to me. Yeah, you talk about manifesting.
We're going to call it Kentucky Sports Radio dot com.
But there's no radio show yet, but we'll get we'll
get there one day, and then we'll already have the
website in place once we do.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I tried to tell you at forty six Solutions, the
power of positivity manifesting things just speak it into existing.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Billy, feel like you're putting the cart in front of
the horse, you know, in that situation.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
But it worked out here we.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Are and especially back then when you're just like websites
are just becoming a thing and you can get a
lot of popularity starting a website, and you're starting a
website called Kentucky Sports Radio, I'm sure a little confusing
at first.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
The timming was perfect too for all of that, correct,
and with Caliperi becoming Kentucky's coach soon after the website
was created, I mean that that's the timming was perfect.
So yeah, congratulations to everybody at the website. And you
know it's now been bought out about on three. So
when you got a little website that you created that
(10:50):
could you know, barely hold traffic back in the day,
and I remember it had like a little purple boxes
on the screen they could they didn't even have blue.
You would think Kentucky, being a Kentucky website to.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Have blue and white. It was purple and white.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
You think that'd be the a layah.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
And to think that that became such a monster of
a website, so popular that you had this big company
on three coming in and buy it out is pretty incredible.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
It's a great success story.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yeah, great job to everybody involved, and looking forward to
the next twenty years for the website and to see
how it improves. Shannon, something that happened to me yesterday
I'm going to put on your radar as well, is
that I was invited to be an extra in a
movie that's shooting in Louisville.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Hmm, okay, well you know finally my time, dude, are
you taking my role?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Is that what you're doing?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Well? I first asked them is this a speaking role?
And they said no, And I said, okay, well I
had the perfect guy for you. Now, you know, I
think that you know limits the pool here a little bit.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
So who reached out to you was like a casting agency.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
No, it was a buddy who was just a book
casting agency and they need more people, and so he
was like, you know, you're the perfect guy for the job.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Can you tell us what the movie is?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
No, I can't can't reveal much besides that they are
shooting in Louisville and it's a Hallmark.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Moviek we need billiards sports on a Hallmark movie. So
you know, I've done this a couple of times, and
I told you the last time I did it was
a horrible experiences.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
That's the thing.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I asked him, like, how long it was going to be.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It's awful.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
He was like, he was there for eleven hours the
other day. I don't know if I got that in me.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
It Shannon like, well, I learned quickly that I don't
have that in me, especially when we're doing five pm
to five am and we're doing twelve hours overnight, freezing cold,
you're not getting paid that much. You're kind of standing
around most of the time doing nothing. And then I
got to be at work an hour after that, and
I realized I hadn't slept any and I gotta you know,
(12:37):
I got to go right back to work my actual job.
It's not worth it. It's really not. But I just
looked up the movie that I was a part of.
I guess if you won't.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Even say that Queen in the Ring.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
No, no, no, Well there's the other one, the other
one that's not out yet.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
It's called dead Man's Wire.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Oh that was the one. Was that you were a
police officer.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, yeah, that's the one that I was like, can
I go home? Like, I just want to leave.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I've got a radio show, have an actual job.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Like I don't know about all of you out here,
but I've got an actual job that's kind of important,
and I got to leave.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I could also see you just saying that to anybody
that would listen at four in the morning. Oh shoot too,
I are like, I have a job.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Well, the problem was, like I would just get my
car and leave if my car was on the filming
location site. The problem is they get you dressed at
one location, then you pile into like a caravan and
they take you, you know, five miles up the road
somewhere at a filming location, and now you don't have
your car, so you kind of.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Like that you can't really leave. I feel boxed in
at that point.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah, now I'm getting rassed, and I'm like, when is
this thing in a wrap?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
What are we doing?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
You know?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
He was asking me if I'm union or non union
and things like that. I was like, I don't know,
but I've got this giant sty on my eye, and
i don't know if I want to make my movie
debut with one eye almost close Shannon.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
So they needed somebody that maybe was a victim, somebody
get punched in the face.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
You'd be perfect. You wouldn't have to make up.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Usually you play the victim on the show, Shannon, me
playing it, you know, I'm not sure. Maybe it could
be a possibility, but no, that was cool, but you know,
just make sure you know that I thought about you first. Okay, Yeah,
asked if it was a speaking role or not. There No,
this is just mainly back.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Remember you're supposed to be my agent, right right. You're
looking out for movie roles for me that are speaking roles.
This one was not a speaking role. I have no
idea if I'll even be in the movie or not.
But it's coming out January sixteenth, according to IMDb.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Okay, well we've got something to look forward to. Then
another Shannon the Dude movie that we can put on
our radar. Radar along with his misogynist wrestling protester, we
now have the police officer that just wanted to leave
sets so he could go to work.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, exactly, I was ready to go patrol.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
If you watch Queen of the Ring though, you barely
even see me at all, and I spent like two
or three days. And it makes you wonder, like why
they pay people to do that because you could barely
I mean you could see you got somebody, and you
could barely even tell that was me if you weren't
looking for me, if you blinked and didn't know where
to look, he would never see me in the movie.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Well you say that, and I think there is an
ai female actress that's starting to be put into movies
and things like that. Yeah, and that's a slippery slope,
right because I don't know, I mean, you can make
them do anything at that point, and what's their likeness
and is it a real person or not. It's you know,
movies are going to change over the next fifty years,
(15:23):
no doubt. But if it's not a speaking role, it's
not For Shannon the Dude A five nine two eight
h two two eight seven Texas at five oh two
two six five six six five six. You know, more
NBA game action last night I watched a little bit
of that. We can talk about that in the twenty
seven different Wildcats that are in the NBA. That's hard
to believe. Twenty seven. That's a lot and much more
nonsense on the way. It is the case our pre show,
(15:48):
Welcome back, It is the case our pre show. Couple
movie stars in Billie Rutledge and Shannon the dude here.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
What movie you have Yourever Pennon? What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And I did some student films?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Oh you did?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Okay, So now you're a movie star in your mind?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I mean, okay, you are what your reality is? Your perception?
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Shannon?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
How you like that? One?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Whatever I want to hear from somebody that's got a
work wife or a work husband, maybe the time that
you went to the Coldplay concert, or the exchanging of
cards that you do during Christmas time. It's just bizarre
that people do have that. One person on the text
line did say that their AC is still on at
their house. They keep it at sixty five degrees. And
I'm right there with you, brother, right there with you.
(16:31):
I mean the house is getting down to like sixty sixtyes.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
At night, just holding on, huh, keeping the ac going.
I've had to turn the heat on a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Are oh you've put you've you've succumbed to it.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Yeah, when it gets down to like sixty five sixty six,
I'm like, no, I'm not sitting here freezing.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
See, but that's the perfect temperature, Shannon, sixty five sixty
six is helps you get into your deep sleep.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Oh is this thing for? Is that what science says?
Or is that what your fiance says?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
That's what my not my work wife, but my future wife. Yes,
you know tells me when I try to change the thermostat. Yeah,
to put that heat.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
On now for me, I don't know. I like to
keep it about seventy one, seventy two something like that.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Seventy two.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, seventy ten is not hot.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
But that that bill, that heat bill in the winter
is going to be a little bit high.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
I mean, not me.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
I got the new train system KLM heating and cooling.
Shout out, just put in a new system.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Okay, company man, trying to shout out here, just trying
to get another heat heating unit, but one. I just
got a brand new Okay, you already got one. Yeah,
that's why the shit. Yesterday, watched a little NBA action.
Watched Anthony Davis lose with the MAVs to the Spurs
one ninety two in a game in which Wimbin yamask
(17:45):
were my thirty points and had fifteen rebounds. He's seventy
four and just looks like he's playing a different sport
out there, doesn't.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
He He does, and it's not even fair.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I was watching some of his highlights just a minute ago,
some of the plays that he was making. It's like,
how do you even stop that? The answer is you can't.
You can you can't. But all your favorite NBA players
are back, and DraftKings, sportsbook and official sports betting partner

Speaker 1 (18:46):
It's the best time of the year. The Sports Equinox
is on Sunday, I believe where all four major sports
in the United States will have a game on the
same day, and we'll have the World Series on Friday,
so it is a great time if you are in
the sports world. Before we get to the phones, I
mentioned that twenty seven Wildcats are currently in the NBA.
That is obviously a high when it comes to colleges,
(19:08):
but Bleacher Report had a twenty twenty six NBA mock draft. Shannon,
it's never too early, and three Wildcats were on the list.
I'm going to tell you the guys and where they slot,
and you tell me if you think that's what their
future holds.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Okay, let's go.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
The highest ranked is Jaden Quainton's at number five. Oh,
top five pick a guy that's not expected to be
on the floor until maybe, I don't know, middle of
the season. Shannon's supposed to be top five in the
NBA next year. Cam Williams came in at number twenty
two and otega Oway came in at fifty four.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Really, Cam Williams came in there. That's the surprise for me. Yeah,
being in the drink too.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
And that's a guy that we've heard Matt and others
say that if he comes out and shoots really well,
then it's going to be tough to take him off
the floor. But if he can't, if he doesn't knock
down that open shot, he's great in a lot of
different areas, but you just can't keep him on the floor.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
So we're saying a guy who's projected to not even
start is going to be a first round draft pick.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's what they're saying. Isn't that wild? I mean, that's
a little read and rob shades, but that was more
defiance from the coach right not wanting to start them.
I mean Cam as somebody that was forgotten a little bit.
That you know, committed when the season was still going on,
could be a first round pick.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
If you said to me, guess, I would have said, oh, way,
Quaintance and maybe Jalen Lowe, right, But I would not
have expected if you say guess, I would have probably
had Cam Williams like my eighth guess maybe, And I
can't believe that they've gotten projected in the top I
guess the first round of the draft.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Oh take a Oway playing himself into a draft selection
as a transfer from Oklahoma that didn't have those prospects
has improved a lot. And then Jane Quainton's at five,
I mean five's hot.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I've play a game, so I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, I mean either, I mean, there is a lot
of hype for this guy. I mean, it's the whole
thing about Louisville scheduling early to not play Jaden Quainton's
I mean this guy, I mean, I'm not going to
say he'd better come in and play really well, but
I think the expectation is if Brandon Garrison doesn't become
the world beater that you want him to become, then
Jane Quainton seems to come in and play well.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
He does. I would also think that maybe a guy
who's already played professionally might be a guy that would
be drafted oh the NBA Yellowvich, But I guess he's
not even on the list.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Yeah, you just never know how those transitions are.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
So is it the case that European basketball is so.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Like bad compared to the NBA that these guys aren't
even talked about going out and play professionally in Europe
but you can't play it professionally for the NBA.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Well, we see plenty of European professionals get drafted in
the lottery every year in the NBA, so they obviously
have talent. I think when I mentioned transitioning, I mean
the physicality of the game, you know. I think there's
a much bigger emphasis on on you know, just ball
movement and a lot of different things that maybe in
the NBA or college game are much much different, especially
(21:58):
when you're going to the SEC, who just came off
the best season a single conference has ever had. It's
a little different than Pepe and his penciltan mustache backing
you down in the paint, right.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Oh yeah, you will get beat up in the SEC.
I don't know where that.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Backing you down, you know, hook shot over you. It's
just a different game. But now they're very talented. They
get drafted all the time. Yellovich is a wild card though,
I mean, stay healthy, lay off the Papa John's.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Maybe you can be a contributor for the team A
five two to eighty seven. We'll take a break and
be back here on the pre show. Welcome back Billy
and the Dude, the show before the show, KSR coming
up next. Until then, you got us. We've got some
breaking news this morning. The Department of Justice is expected
to make an announcement at ten am Eastern time that
(22:50):
involves numerous arrests in illegal sports betting and poker games schemes. Wow,
and already this morning, Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, the
former Louisville carder, was arrested as part of the FBI's
sports betting gambling probe. So this is we got some
news coming this morning. Pablo Torre also doing a lot
of reporting on this about some of the players that
(23:11):
are going to be involved.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Yeah, here's another one. I saw that Myron Metcalf just
retweeted here It says Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups
arrested by the FBI for a lot to illegal gambling,
sources tell ESPN.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
So this is not like betting on your DraftKings app
while you're a player. This is more like points shaving
and things like that. So this is this is interesting
and we are going to see a big development today
when it comes to professional sports. And you know, as
gambling has become more and more prevalent in mainstream, this
is something that was expected, right, It's something that's happened
(23:43):
in sports for a while. But to see it done
so brazenly times that it's just this is another headline
in twenty twenty five, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
But the thought that you could get away with that,
like they're going to catch you, and why would you
do it?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
You've already you're already a professional. You have all this money.
Why do you need more money?
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I guess it's just the thrill. Well, how's the thrill
going to prison? How's that gonna work out for you?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Like I just I think of the Alabama baseball coach
that's calling the guy that's in the casino at the teller,
like telling him that his starting pictures now out and
you should bet the other team and things like that.
It's just people are stupid. Yeah, and it sounds like
Chauncey Phillips and Terry Rozier can be added to the list.
Uh five nine two two eight seven. Let's take a
call here, dude, let's go to super Dave that's been
(24:28):
patially waiting. What's up, Super Dave?
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Hey, guys, how you did? And I had a good
laugh this morning when I heard Billy was gonna be
in a Hallmark Christmas movie.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Well that's not confirmed.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah yeah, yeah, not Christmas either, just a just a
Hallmark you know, feel good story.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Well Billy, I mean that's that's about as sappy as
you can get. So I don't know anyway, Uh yeah,
I heard the news about uh uh and chomps that.
It doesn't surprise me that this is going to happen.
I mean, eventually it's going to come down the line too.
You know, people are just greedy. I mean, it's so
(25:08):
much greed drive the world right now, it's just amazing.
But also I wanted to I wanted to come in
on the on the football team. I'm getting to a
point where I just I almost can't watch them anymore
because I mean, I know they've improved a little bit,
but they just cannot score any points. And it's just
kind of disheartening to see, you know, this program and
(25:30):
where it is right now. So I'll hang up and listen,
and uh.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
You guys have a good na.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Thank you, super Dave. Yeah, it's you know, it's demoralizing
when your team can't score two touchdowns in a game
and you're coming up against a team that averages forty
plus a game.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Just how checked out do you think the fan base
will be for this game against Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
I mean it's a bitter rival.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Yeah, you can't let Orange just completely take over Krogerfield.
I mean that would be embarrassing if they brought in
more fans than we did and then kicked our butt
on our own field.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I mean, it's going to be really easy to sell
to Tennessee fans and they're on the border. They're going
to be coming up. They're going to want to take
over Commonwealth Stadium or Kroger Field as some people might
call it. So you're right, but I like to think
this is a rivalry game. They showed a lot of
fight versus Texas, come on and support the Cats. But
I understand the opposite viewpoint too, right, I mean, I
(26:24):
understand you've paid more money for less home games, your
tailgating section has gotten has shrunk, and you're not happy
with the product on the field. So I get that too,
and I at least Mark Stoops is saying that. Now
that's been the biggest change I think over the last
week or so. Is that Stoops I think is reading
the room and there riding on the wall At this point.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I would just say, though, if you're a season ticket holder,
don't sell the tickets to just anybody in the open market.
Try to make sure you get it to a Kentucky fan,
because if you just put it out there on a
third party website, then more than likely a Tennessee fan's going.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
To buy it.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Okay, So Shannon the Dude has a ticket for sale.
One buyer, as a Tennessee fan, is off for ring
four hundred and fifty dollars for the ticket, and the
Kentucky fan will only pay you three seventy five. Which
one are you gonna take?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Why is the Kentucky fan being cheap?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
So what I would say, I just know which decision
you're gonna make? Well, I would tell the Kentucky fan
the pony up. Okay, that's I would find it. I
would find a richer Kentucky's an open wound, right, I
would find that.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I mean, you're hurting.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I would find a richer Kentucky fan.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
I would cut that Kentucky fan out and find one
that has more money, probably.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Like John Short who's probably got the money four tickets
like that? What's up?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
John?
Speaker 4 (27:30):
That much?
Speaker 6 (27:31):
Your great Americans?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
So we're you're American, buddy, Okay, I'm.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
Ready for big games this week We're will be for
do but team Biggins and Tennessee by Team Biggins.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I would take that.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
That would be a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yeah, it would be.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
And also we'll well, I think we'll play tickets. Ain't
eame of soccer this coming Sunday?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Hmm?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Well, we rely on you for the wind.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
So John, Yeah, wasn't that went about twenty Biggins?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Twenty Biggins in a soccer game? John, That'd be a
little out of hand. That'd be cruel and unusual punishment,
wouldn't it.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
He would? But I know you can't talk about this one.
We are swimming began this weekend. We lost Indiana. We
lost Indiana, and swimming.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Can't be losing to those hoosiers.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I love John stay on top of the swimming team
as well too, because you.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
Don't have it talked about it than why not herb?
We won five events, we lost the Indiana.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Did we win the water polo competition?
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Or do we lose that one?
Speaker 6 (28:31):
I didn't hear anything about that?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
What about the What about the Hide and Seek League?
Did we beat Indiana in that?
Speaker 4 (28:39):
No?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
What about the Paintball League?
Speaker 5 (28:43):
I don't know about that?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
How about that one either?
Speaker 5 (28:45):
All right?
Speaker 3 (28:45):
I thought you had all the answers, John, all right,
good to hear from you, John, But at least.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
And let me let me say this, Let me say this. Yeah,
but that's only talked about it putting in the movie
this is Johnny Russell song. And then what John buck
Goins had it out.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
That's right, that's right, it's good stuff. John knows all
the old school song trivia. He always has a good
song boys hundred years ago that we should listen to.
Thanks for the college, John, We appreciate John. Five nine
two two two eight seven.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
If you would like to join Indiana football fans have
been coming out of the woodwork lately.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
I mean as they should. They should be pounding their
chest number two in the country.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Who would have ever thought that I was going to
say Indiana fans would win in a hide and seek
contest because they've been hiding for quite a while, though
you know not anymore. We released NFL Cover zero this morning.
There were a lot of funny topics in the NFL.
I just want to run through a couple of.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Them with you.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
If you had a second, I mean, I guess you
got seventeen more stuck here with you regardless, so you
got to listen. Anyway. The Baltimore Ravens are one in
five on the season, and now it's time to get serious.
The Baltimore Sun is reporting that the Ravens are removing
their ping pong table, their video games, their basketball hoop,
and their cornhole boards from their locker room.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I love this.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
It's like they're treating these guys, these athletes, like they're
four year olds, Like, don't make me turn this car around.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
You better behave yourself.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
I'm gonna take I'm gonna take your PlayStation from you
if you don't start winning some games.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
No I love it.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
I think that maybe there's too many distractions off the
field and in the locker room and they need to
focus on winning some games. It's amazing to me that
Baltimore is really that bad. I mean, I know they
lost Lamar to an injury, but they weren't great this
season when they had him even No.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
They've struggled a lot, but I just feel like you're
giving a lot of power to the ping pong table, right,
I mean, if you're remove the ping pong table, that
was that the problem.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
To begin with. I mean, I don't know, it didn't
help anything. I could tell you.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
If they removed the ping pong table from Horton Hall
at Wendsy Wilson, then I don't know what I would
have done, because that was the only kind of entertainment
that I had.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
There for a year.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Yeah, builds the relationship between your teammates, but I guess
if you're playing too much ping pong, you can start
losing games pretty quickly. The Jets owner Woody Johnson, the
Jets are zero to seven. Woody Johnson made some public
comments about his quarterback and his head coach, and when
talking about head coach Aaron Glunn. He said he hugs
him every day to show him support. Really, he hugs
(31:08):
him every day. He gives him a hug and some
positive words of affirmation.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
Do you like that?
Speaker 2 (31:14):
No for an NFL player.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
No, a coach, a head coach.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I know, a coach, right, yeah, coach Cocher comes down,
you know the managing Okay, the owner is hugging the coach.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
The owner comes in and hugs the coach every day
and gives him some words of encouragement.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
No. No, we need our coaches to be a little
little tougher. They don't need hugs and kisses before they
go out there and coach a game. Could you imagine
a bit Mitch Barnhart, I almost said, Mitch Barnhart came
down and gave Mark Stevens a hug, and maybe that's
what he needs.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I don't know, see, that's what I was going to go.
I mean, sometimes I just need a hug. Sometimes I
just need a little support from my boss's Shannon. But
every day, and in like a very masculine setting is
in a professional football team too.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I don't know, it's this is uh, win a football game,
then we'll give Mark Steez.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Hug I'll give you a hug when you deserve a
hugger And yeah, I mean I'm paying you millions of
dollars for you to go oh to seven? Do you
need a hug too? Every day? Okay, I've flipped. No,
don't give him a hug. Give him win a game
before he gets a hug.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I'd be giving him a hug and uh slipping his
walking papers in his back pocket.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
So you're fired to get out of here. Can't even
win a game.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
And finally, the Sunday night matchup is Green Bay traveling
to Pittsburgh. There's been a lot of issues with Pittsburgh's field.
Their grass field has been messing up. People have been
getting hurt on it, people slipping on it. So when
head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about it, he said,
I'm not a grass expert. I haven't cut my own
grass in a long long time. I'm gonna stay in
my lane. I don't even know who cuts my grass.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
There you go, I mean a guy like that NFL coach,
would you expect him to be out there cutting his
own grass weed, weed eating and edging and all that.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
No, of course not. So that's no surprise that he does.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
You think the majority of head coaches in the NFL
don't cut their own grass.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Who do you think in the NFL is cutting their
own grass?
Speaker 4 (33:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
You may get millions upon millions upon millions of dollars
and you're out there cutting your grass.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Well, there is something to cutting your grass. It can
be you know, stress reducing.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
I guess I hate cutting my grass. Anybody wants to
cut my grass, come home.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
But like, this was what we talked about on cover
zero because we brought up this story. I mean, what
about the guy that does cut his grass. He probably
tells everybody that he cuts Mike Tomlins grass. It's probably
a point of emphasis for him. And now Mike Tomlin's
just like, I don't even know who cuts my grass. Yeah,
this guy that cuts his grass has got it on
his resume.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
I cut some at night.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah, did Tomlins house?
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Like?
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Yeah, cut the coaches grass today. He doesn't even know
checkerboard pattern today in the front lawn. I hope he
likes it. Yeah, carved the Steeler's logo in the backyard
and the grass he doesn't even know it.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
And then he goes to under Toplin and just say
I don't even know who the hell cuts my grass.
I mean, why would I care?
Speaker 3 (33:56):
I would say, though he's getting paid a lot of
money to cut that grass. If you're cutting the grass
somebody that's an athlete, I mean, you can name your price, right.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
There's also a group of people that go around cutting
all the lots in our neighborhood that we live in,
so obviously it's a thing. I mean, there's people of
a certain age that don't want to cut their grass either.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
There's another storyline with this Green Bay Steelers game too.
Have you seen the uniforms, the jerseys that Pittsburgh's wearing. No,
they're going to be like all yellow and the helmets
will be all yellow. And it looks like that their
helmet color is the exact same color as the Packers.
So if they're truly going to be wearing these, it
is going to be kind of confusing to see who's
(34:35):
on what team. But I don't know why they're deciding
to do that against a team like the Packers. Who
has a gold helmet?
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Have you seen it?
Speaker 1 (34:41):
No, I'm still looking it up. Nineteen thirty three. Oh
my gosh, look at those jerseys. Yeah, those are very
similar yellow to the Green Bay Packers. Well, maybe the
Packers should wear their white helmet or a throwbacker themselves,
because you're right, this is when you like restart the
game in Madden. Because you both chose the same color,
you can't see you can't see which players which.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
So they've got like gold helmets talking about the Steelers here, yeah,
and gold jerseys and the Packers. I guess we'll be
wearing gold helmets with the white jerseys. Still, it's gonna
be confusing because the helmet color so so similar.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. That seems like a mistake,
doesn't it. It seems like an oversight maybe something that
just people aren't thinking about while they're worried about wearing
throwback jerseys. Well, hey, let me tell you about Stretch
Lab before we go to our next break. Shain and
Stretch Lab has been a sponsor of the Case our
pre show over the last couple months. It's a place
that I've been going to to help improve my posture,
increase my range of motion, reduce stress, and reduce muscle
(35:42):
and joint pain. If you don't know what stretch Lab is,
it's a bootique fitness franchise franchise that offers customized one
on one assisted stretching by a trained flexologist and a
modern and friendly communal environment. I've enjoyed going over the
last couple of months, but every time I go, there's
also an older woman that goes about the same time
is me. Her name's Elizabeth, and Elizabeth, you know, I
(36:02):
kind of help her out of her car, Shannon, I
help her get her walker out of her car. We've
developed and built a friendship over the last month or so,
but she's talked a lot about how much her quality
of life has improved, how much she's been able to
walk around the house after working with Stretch Labs, and
they can do the same for you get your quality
of life back. And if you use promo code Bogies
with Billy, you can get a fifty minute one on
(36:25):
one assisted stretch with a computerized mobility assessment for just
forty nine dollars. That's Bogie's with Billy as the promo code.
They have a studio in Lexington and Fort Wright. And
you really don't know how important stretching is until you
get to that certain age. And Shannon, since I turned
thirty recently, I think I'm about at that age, and well, see,
(36:46):
I think maybe even you would need something like Stretch Lab, Shannon.

So we're just talking during the break about is it

NBA ref Yeah, the guy that ended up going to
prison because he was, uh, he was throwing games. You
know what I'm talking about, right, Yeah, And I was
telling you I was looking up to like to see
how long he got sentenced too, And he was in
prison according to this that I'm looking at for fifteen months,
(37:44):
and you said that's it. I was like, yeah, but
it's still fifteen months in prison. And you said to me, Billy,
I could do fifteen months in prison. There's no dude,
you would not last two weeks in prison. I feel
like this is something we need to do. Can we
put you in prison?
Speaker 1 (38:01):
This is not a Ryan Lemon goes to ks jail
for five days, because.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Jail prison, prison's a different beast.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Yeah, I could do fifteen months, much more than that. No,
you know, solitary confinement. No, I you know, I'm gonna
go crazy talking to myself then there. But you know,
if Billy, our sports has got to survive.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Fifteen I wish there was a way we could put
you in prison for fifteen months.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
I bet you do.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
I bet you do.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Wish that, and then this show would ratings would go
in the in the cellar.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Why would they go in the cellar?
Speaker 3 (38:31):
We'd still oh, you think, because you would be in
prison and we couldn't do without you, got it?
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Okay, okay, right?
Speaker 3 (38:37):
But anyway, you know, I think we could send the
comras over to you, have you hooked up every morning
from prison.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
No, let me let me work on the j but
we'll we'll be cool scene in the bar over there.

Speaker 4 (38:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, we were doing the show every day from prison.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
I'm not and I'm not doing crap if I'm in prison.
Let's go back to the phone, shann who's up next?
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Let's go to Kentucky gas man?
Speaker 1 (39:09):
What's up? Gas man?
Speaker 6 (39:12):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (39:12):
You know, just living some fuel today. The grass cutting
is kind of slowing down, and the heat noles picking up.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
The gas prices, Oh they're good, man.
Speaker 5 (39:22):
Especially compared to you know, last year. It's about down
a dollar a gallon, especially deep. Yeah, you can almost
get diesel for the same price you can gas now.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Sweet good.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
But anyway, just wanted to say, hey, you ain't getting
no hug from Matt Jones.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Just will let you know, nor do we want one?
Speaker 5 (39:42):
Okay, Hey, the other day when the day the Rockets
played that night and you know, reached Schaeffer, but I
think it actually went off at two threes. But for
a long time though you could have got at one
and a half and you some of you all bet in.
I'm not a gambling man, but I'm just curious, and
I'm just using him for example. So let's what stops
(40:04):
Jeff Sheppard from calling up Reid said say hey, Read,
like make sure you don't make two threes? And and
I guess what I'm trying to say is like, so
is there is there is there a restriction put on
people's draft teams account as to well you can't bet
(40:25):
or I don't really don't know how that works, but
I just don't know.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Yeah, I mean, well I don't know.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Yeah, I don't know why Jeff Jeff would call up
Read and say, hey, don't do that, because I mean,
Read's trying to fight for his spot as a starting
uh point guard for for the Rockets, right, So.
Speaker 5 (40:41):
I mean, I'm just using that as an example, though
I know he wouldn't do that. I'm just using that
scenario as an example.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
Like what stops nothing?
Speaker 2 (40:51):
I mean nothing, nothing. I mean, I'm sure that stuff
happens all the time.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
But if you get caught, is it you know again,
if you read Shepherd, is it worth risking your entire
career for that?
Speaker 2 (41:00):
And you know, I think that's what How would you.
Speaker 5 (41:02):
Get how would you get caught?
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Well, they would, they would monitor. I mean, you have
to be a real person to sign up for these sites, yea.
And so they're going to very closely monitor anybody in
the NBA or the association that signs up for these sites.
And then you have to go into the activity in
which that it's bet on. Yeah, like when people all,
like a ton of people bet huge money on Reed
Shepherd under on threes and then that under comes in,
(41:25):
there's going to be more investigator.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Finds like twenty grand on it or something.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
You know, like they're gonna they're gonna look for suspicious activity.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
I would I would say on their build.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
A lot of things are monitored like that. But I'd
also say, like their integrity and pride is probably what
holds them back from doing something like this. You work
your entire life to get to this moment and then
it's to a point where you're fighting for a roster spot,
right and at the same time, if you were to
ever get caught, your band for life.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
That's right. Yep, thanks, thank you.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
Speaking of betting, Draft King SPORTSBOOKSR PET five dollars you're
gonna get three hundred dollars in bonus bets and three
months of NBA Past the Crown is yours.
Speaker 1 (42:01):

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
