Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everyone. It is the KSR Pre Show, Tuesday, December sixteenth,
nine days away from Christmas. The countdown is on. If
you haven't done your Christmas shopping yet, you got some
work to do, a bunch of procrastinators just like me
wait until last minute to go out and get all
my stuff done. Yeah, I'm talking to you. I know
how you are. Hey, give us a call on the
Clock's puppet shop phone one eight five nine two eighth
(00:22):
twenty two eighty seven. You can also send us a
text at five O two two six five six six
five six. The KSR pre Show is being brought to
you by Italics. Find Italian downing in Lexington. You can also,
by the way, be o a whiskey thief Call of
the Day. Billy are Sports over in Lexington in the studio.
It's up, Billy. How are you man?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I'm good, dude.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I need to pick up a lint roller when I
go out and do my Christmas shopping.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I've got cat hair.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Cat see you bring in those cats. You don't think
about all the other ways they affect your daily life.
Not only do you have to feed the thing, you know,
play with it, pay for all of its vet bills.
Then you've also got a walk around with its hair
all over you all day.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yeah, well, we had some snuggles this morning, so maybe
I got a little cat.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Dude. I saw you had like an entire like tower
behind you the other day when you were doing the
show from home. Yeah, yeah, like a cat jungle gym.
Is that what your house has turned into? Just pretty
much a cat palace?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yeah yeah, I mean, don't even look at my garage anymore.
We made some progress back in the day. That video
that I've sent you doesn't even hold up anymore. But yeah,
there's two of those jungle gyms in my house right now.
And the one that you saw we put right next
to the window so he can kind of sit there
and look outside and see what's going on. Shannon, Bye,
I'm starting to learn cats are a little bit more
(01:40):
vindictive than dogs. Like I trying to tell you that
I will hold a grudge. I able to tell you that,
did you smack you in the face once or twice
just for good measure like that?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
There's just a different kind of like motivation or evilness
with these animals.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I'm just learning that day by day.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Well, if you would listen to me every now and
then you would know. As we talked about this before
you got the cat, I tried to tell you that
cats look at humans for one reason and one reason only.
You're there for their comfort. You're there to feed them.
You're there to be a scratching post if that's what
they need, if they need to rub up against you,
because they're backspitches. You're their backscratcher, like that's that's the
(02:18):
way cats are, And they don't care about you. As
soon as they like see you as as not being
able to provide them with some sort of service, they
will just slap you in the face like your cat
did you.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
No, I mean he looked me right in my eyes
and then started pushing the remote off the table. Yeah,
and then and then the remote fell, and then I
got up and put the remote back, and he would
look at rewrite it again and just start pushing that
thing off for no good reason. Shannon, So, I don't know,
just starting to slowly figure that out.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
But you get a furry you got a furry menace
in your house, and you're now a cat dad to
where now you're you know your comfort is being sacrificed
for the cover of the cat.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
You're right, but it is better being a cat daddy
than it is being a furry Like you are a Shannon.
We know that you go to these conventions at the
motels's to travel around in your costume.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
No, no, I make fun of those people, those remotes
that I know ten of those people. I don't actually
go to a furry convention. That was Matt and Ryan
and Drew that went to the furry convention. I was
here in the studio. I did not go to that.
Although they are entertaining centers doing.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
A remote or something at one of these, I've.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Never been to one, but I've seen the videos that,
like I think Mario did a video on them. You
go around and you interview these people who are cosplaying
and they think that they're actually a cat, and like, yeah,
people that think they're a dog, and they'll come up
to you and they'll they won't talk to you. They'll
just bark at you and pee on your leg.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
They get that fill doing comic con right. But like,
if you were to find yourself at one of these
furry conventions, I feel like it'd be a little bit different.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I feel like that's more you're seeing than mine yours. Anyway,
you know, yesterday after Paul and Minnesota called in talking
about chee cheese, I guess I just had like a
craving for Mexican food. So I didn't have any chee
cheese around here, so I just went to like another
Mexican place. And I won't say their name because I
don't want to throw them under the bush. But I
(04:08):
was a little upset, Billy when I walked in to
get my burrito and they looked at me and they go,
we can't sell you anything. Our registers down, Our register
is offline. And I go, okay, so I got cash, Nope,
can't take it. You're telling me your registers down, you
can't use a card. I understand that the card has
(04:30):
to go through it's all like, you know, programmed into
the system. I get that. But if I've got cash
and I just want to buy a burrito, why can't
you take my cash? And I just don't understand that, Billy.
But I feel like that is the world we now
live in, where one thing goes down, somebody's Wi Fi
is not working that day, and they have to shut
the entire business down. I don't know why they can't
(04:51):
go old school, get the little calculator out bank boom,
figure out how to get my burrito when I just
want to pay for it in cash? Like, can we
not do basic math? I mean, is it better off
to shut down the entire business just go you know what,
we're out of business for the day because our Wi
Fi is down. Then to take somebody's cash and be
able to still operate as normal. It was the most
(05:12):
frustrating thing. So then I had to go somewhere else
and it took me like an hour just to get
my burrito. And I'm going, why because somebody's Wi Fi
is down? It's insanity.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Oh, I bet you're getting a little hungry too, But
I already am.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I'm ranching about it right now, just thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
You know, It's yeah, that doesn't make sense to me.
I mean, this is legal tender. Let's barter here. I
got money, Why don't you give me a burrito? I
guess they're going to great lengths to not do any math, Shannon.
Do they have to have a record of everything? They
can't just write something like this down. That does seem
like a little stupid to.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Me, you know, rob Burrito's like that. Now it's completely cashless.
So if you want to go up and you want
to get yourself one of those ice creams that everybody loves,
you gotta pay for it with a card. You can't
do it in cash.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
But like, could I give them just a ten dollars
bill and say keep the change? I just want an
ice cream? Can you turn around give me an ice
cream and I'll have my credit card?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Like, yeah, just consider it a tip.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, I mean is.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
It because they can't do math? Or is it just because,
like what they can't get the register to open? Like,
there's got to be an explanation why you would rather
shut down the entire business than take my cash. Because
that does not seem logical to me.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That's kind of what I was getting at. What would
be that reason?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I mean, we can get the calculator at out right,
we can figure out what the change needs to be subtraction,
But like, does there need to be like a written
or a record of each thing, each transaction?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
That down yes, I feel like you know, Wi Fi
goes down. The world does not even know how to,
Like their brain falls out of their skull. They don't
even know how to do basic math to figure out
how they can keep their business open without having to
have Wi Fi. Yeah, it's insane.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I mean I could see a young Shannon the Dude
working the host to stand.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
When I come to the.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Host to stand, you know it's a home stand.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
If I'm there, get it, I said hosted, I said
it right, host, Well for you, it's hostess. So I
come up to the hostess stand in a young Shannon
the Dude says, sorry, systems down, can't sit you, And
I'm like, well, I got cash.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Can we do this thing?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Shannon is like, no, not my problem, not eating for you.
So I mean I could kind of see you doing that.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Well no, I mean I, first of all wouldn't be
working at a host in. Let's get that right from
the beginnings. Say I did serve tables one time, and
now I've told you I was the absolute worst server ever.
Like I would always get the orders wrong, you know,
Like where I worked, they expected you to memorize who
got what, so let you write it down. Well you
(07:41):
could write it down, but you're not supposed to. Like
you go out there with the food. You can't be
looking at your paper as you're holding seven different plates,
you know, so you're supposed to memorize where everything goes,
and I was. I was just the worst at it.
I did it for like two months, and I go
the serving industry is not for me. I appreciate those
who do it, but like and then people will give
you the order, and a lot of times, like I'd
(08:04):
be sitting there writing and it takes me in a
minute to write down the thing, you know, and I
felt like they're they're staring at me the whole time,
pressuring me to hurry up and get the order down.
But some of these people you go out and order, man,
they just know it all off the top of their head,
and I'm like, are you sure you got all that?
Nine times out of ten they.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Screw the order up, so it is a memory problem
for you.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I feel like I would get frustrated the one time
I didn't get tipped at a ten top or something
like that, or well.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Now they put the gratuity on there just automatically.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I would snap back after a snarky comment or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
You never have to serve tables at all over college? Yeah,
everybody should have to do that. One time just to
have the appreciation for how hard it is to actually
be a server in a restaurant, because if you're a
bad if you're a bad tipper, that'll give you like
an all new perspective on like you know, like I
do twenty percent unless it's horrible. You know, you got
to be really bad to get less than twenty.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
For me, well, yeah, and you have a lot more
respect for the staff, I'm sure after that and everything
that they're going through. But yeah, I mean I'm generally
around the twenty percent range too, if not a little
bit more. But chanted I'm not afraid if it's a
bad service to go a little bit lower than that.
I mean, people think that that's a faux pa, but
you know what, you got to earn it.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
That's true, that's true. But you know, I like to,
you know, keep it. I guess twenty percent because that's
kind of the standard. Now. Used to be ten, then
it went fifteen, Now it's twenty.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Now gilt twenty five.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Now you go to the thing. I went to Starbucks
the other day, They're like, what do you want to
tip your barista? I'm going, well, uh, do you want eighteen?
Twenty and like thirty or maybe it was like or
maybe maybe it was like no, I don't think eighteen
was even an option. It was like twenty twenty five thirty.
Now we're like, where does it end? Are we going
up to like fifty percent?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
It's somehow I'm much more inclined to tip the barista
than like the sandwich maker.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, yeah, anyway, five nine, twenty two eighty seven, we're
going to take your calls. We are going to talk
some sports today, uh later on today on KSR. All right,
Ryan and drew her out, so it's just Matt and
I and Matt's calling in Myron Metcalf to join us
in the at the ten o'clock hour. Then in the
eleven o'clock hour, Adam Luckett KSR is going to join us.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
So let's let's have f Myron if he's ever been
a color commentator for a college football game, or if
it's just going to be a fresh start for everybody
on the twenty third for the Western.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, I really want to know about this, because you've
got two guys that they are just throwing into a
game to do play by play in color. Billy doing
color has got to be a lot easier than doing
play by play. You've done play by play for high
school games, right?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Oh? Yeah, I've done years of play by play. So
I tried to give him out a tip or two
over the past couple of days about painting the picture, Shannon,
you know, the players going left to right on your
radio dial. You've got to you know, you got to
make the scene for the listener. But are is the
ESPN sending these guys up to fail a little bit
if they've never done a game before, Shannon, And.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
It kind of tells me they really don't care.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Is it like rating at any cost?
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I think ESPN has taken the strategy of we need
two human being with a pulse to go call this game.
We don't care that you have no experience whatsoever. Just
sit up there and call it like you see it.
I think that's what they're doing. I think that's the
approach that they're doing by putting Matt and Myron doing
a play by play football game that neither one of
(11:17):
them have any Well, maybe Myron does, I don't know.
We'll dig into his past and see if he's got
any experience, but we know Matt has zero play by
play experience. I can't wait to hear it. Oh you know,
if it's a train wreck, it'll still be good radio
because it'll still make you want to listen to it.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Right well, yeah, it was like when he suggested they
take calls at some point. It was a really got
a good idea of where this is going to go.
Time and score time and score time and score. You've
got to give that a lot more than you think
because people will complain about that if you don't. And
then one of the most important things back when I
was doing it was pronunciations, especially in high school when
(11:51):
you have the parents or grandparents listening from different states.
That's all they care about is hearing their kids name
a couple times. And it's a little different in a
college football bowl game. But Shannon, you lose your credibility
if you're stumbling over names.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Right right.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
We went through the roster though last week. I think
most of the names on there, Matt can pronounce. He's
gonna be fine. There is one that gave us a
little bit of trouble. We went through and practiced on
some of the roster names. But you're right on the
time and score thing. You know, you don't think about
this unless you're I guess old enough to remember it.
But back in the day, they didn't have the score
(12:25):
on the screen all the time we were watching a game.
You didn't have a score bug. So a lot of
times if you go back and watch like replays of
these old games, you don't know what the score is
until they go to commercial break, Like they wouldn't have
the scores up there. Now, you know, it looks like
there's all kinds of like stuff streaming across the bottom.
You got to score up at the top, right, you
got other scores on the other side, there's like scores
everywhere on the screen.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
You get next stats on the bottom telling me passer
rating numbers exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
But you know, like it wasn't all that long ago
you didn't have anything on there. So you're right, score
in time. Make sure you turned down that.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Very important And then we're going to figure out how
much Matt really knows about football, right, Well?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
No, well, well he's the play by play guy. Though
he just does the play by play. I think that's myrons.
That's sort of his job to fill in the blanks.
He's the color commentator. He's the one that's got to
sort of analyze everything. You know.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
You'd be surprised how much you got to know formations,
you know, like penalties that is true, that is true.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Like nuances of the game.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, so are you gonna be the stat guy?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
No, I can't go. I've got Kentucky Bellerman the same
day that I've got.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Oh so now he doesn't have a stat guy either.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Listen, I'm charging.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I'm in charge of the UK sports networks, so I've
I am obviously needed here.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
But I do wish them the best of luck.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I won't have to travel on Christmas, even an airport
trying to get back home, so I guess that's a plus.
But a little bummed out I'm going to be missing
the game. But uh Western has been great in Bowl games, man,
They've They've got a pretty good track record over these
last decade or two, and so I'm hopefully it's a
good game for Matt and Myron.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
No doubt.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Maybe you could text them some stats throughout the game,
you know, good game there, you go, just take some stats,
Just just feed him some information, you know, Like Freddy
Maggett used to do that for me on the show here.
He would just feed me, feed me some lines that way,
I could you know, just pepper those in.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Uh, you're a ghost writers, not.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
My takes, but my stats. He was my stat guy.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I always knew if I get a text from Freddy
it's going to be some good stats coming in eight, five, nine,
twenty two eighty seven. Hey, we want to take your
phone calls. We do have an update on JQ Jake
and Quaintance. Looks like we may be getting closer to
seeing him on the floor for the first time this year.
And uh, we'll take take your calls and a whole
lot more, including these, uh these Denny's syrup shoes. We
(14:42):
got to talk about what, Yes, it's all the rage.
We'll talk about that. Coming up next. It is the
KSR pre Show. We'll be right back, all right, it
is the ks R pre Show. Paul McCartney Wonderful Christmas Time.
Some people call one of the most annoying Christmas songs
of all time. I kind of like this song though, Yes, yeah,
(15:03):
this is on the list because the scynth at the
end of the song, he just goes crazy on the
scynth and just starts randomly hitting buttons on it.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
When I say it's on the list, it means it's
on the list of songs I hear every year, like
this is on our playlist.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
So this is in the rotation, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah. Uh So Austin, who you've heard maybe a couple
of times here on the KSR pre show, has produced
the show. He just came into the studio and you
as you were telling me, hey, let me turn your
mic on.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
How do y'all there?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
You go? Hey, hey, all right, So Billy you were
telling me, and I didn't know about this until we
just started there, and I never know which direction the
show was going to go in from one day to
another or one minute to the next. But Billy, you
were telling me that Austin sitting next to me here
is about to get married, and that he is doing
what what is he doing?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Well, our guy, Austin's getting married this week. Congratulations?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
All right, thank you this Saturday right across from Yeah, congratulations.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
But now but now candy stores closed? Is that?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
What is that? What you call it?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Closed? And all?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
All right? Okay, so what's happening?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
So I was listening to Terry Minor show yesterday and Austin.
You're doing a great job as the producer of that.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
You appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
But you said that you're going to hyphen your last
name after you get married.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Yes, sir, what do you mean by hyphened? Do you
mean you're taking her last name?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
I am adding her last name on to mine, and
she's obviously having my last name on to hers too.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Okay, So does your name go first or does her
name go first?
Speaker 5 (16:30):
How does this we were I we were doing it
in my head. Her last name is Katina. It's gonna
be Katina Montgomery because I like that better than Montgomery Katina.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Okay, I just feel like that's a.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Lot to throw the more syllable words to throw off first,
like my last name is harder to do first. But
it's just a compromise that that we both made. The
last name thing never really meant a lot to me. Yeah,
all that much.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
It's just a thing I don't care about.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
And I just need to know how this conversation went.
Was she like, you know what, I really don't like
your last name Montgomery. I really don't want that to
be my last name. Like how did this conversation come up?
Speaker 4 (17:05):
And was it awkward?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I mean, like, I look more power to you, man,
but I'm not doing that. I'm not taking another woman's
last name.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
My my fiance is very based on on grounds and morals,
and she is very she's a new age. Let's just
say she's she grew up in California, right, Okay, So
that that should answer a lot.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Of your questions. Right there, California, say no more.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
She lived there the last ten years before we finally met.
But her thing was all about you know, it's it.
It's maybe some things that I don't agree with, but
I will I'll go ahead of meeter her in the
middle and compromise on because once again, the last name
never really meant all that much, just in.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Case, but it was just more based off of.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Women these days, they don't like the ownership, like the
the so I'm expected to change my name because I
get married. And she's not as traditional ass some women
may be. And she's also a marketer, and she she
graduated with a with an English degree, so she's always
wanted to write a book, and so her main thing is, well,
(18:12):
when I write a book, I've always dreamed since I
was a little girl to have my first and last
name on the book for whenever I published something, the
cop that this was that that was her way and
I and I gave I gave her the big puppy doll.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Well, I guess that sounds that sounds great.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Now. See if Billy did this, we would be giving
him absolute Hell, we're giving you.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
A little We're going a little bit easy on you
right now. What Tony and Dwight have had to say.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I was gonna ask you, like, who will be wearing
the dress? You were hurt? I'm gidding.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
It's very brave of you, because I'm sure the Tony
and Dwight's of the world would have fun with.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Oh boy, yeah they they they've been giving me some
h t double hockey state though, but uh there, it's
it's completely fine. One of the things that's never meant
to too much to me. Plus, whenever we have some
all star athlete kids, because I am the beacon of
everything you'd probably wants to be.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yeah, you're you're an athlete, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
There's so much cooler with three last names.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Yeah, Like if you're Collie Stein, Collie Stein or kick Gilchrish,
it just Willie Stein.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
That's just the same right, exactly.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
I happen to be naming all these Kentucky players. I'm
wearing a Louisville hoodie. So yeah, but you know, I
like to watch from a so.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Seventy nine percent of spouses take their husband's last names,
or at least females seventy seventy nine percent fourteen percent
keep their own in five percent hyphen eight both names.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Wow, you're in the five percent. Yeah, that's right, all right, man,
at least I'm in five percent of something.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
There you go, all right.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
It's always kind of been big and her.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
There's a lot of her family members that also have
hyphen ad last names with their significant others too. So
and always told her it's easy to just drop your
name if we ever get split.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Now, does she proposed to you or you proposed to her? Stop?
All right, we'll let you go.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
She got down on the left knee. I got down
on the right.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
A happy wife, happy one.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Appreciate this figure out.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Congratulations and also yeah, congratulations.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
There you go. All right, Billy, can we talk you
into hyphen now in.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Your last negative? No negative, you will not be able
to do that.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
That's a shame. I really hope we can tried.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I mean we had that conversation. I drew the line
in the sand.

we got Louisbell and Tennessee, two Kentucky's most bitter rivals,
(20:37):
playing each other, and they both lose. I was gonna
ask you, like, who do you think, like, who's Big
Blue Nation pulling for here? Or are we just pulling
for money?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
That's what I would do, Yeah, pull on for the
under maybe yeah, maybe under over under. In this one,
I'd probably stay away from the point spread because you'd
have to root for one of these.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Dudes if I got to pull from one of the other.
I guess maybe there's the cost the conference allegiance, right,
you know, with them being an SEC school, maybe you pull.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
For jal Hot right now they're winning games, so.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
But then The other thing is too. You know, you
just lost to Lobel, so you kind of need level
to have some big wins too, because it makes your
loss at least. Yeah, it makes your resume slightly better.
I know we're like grasping its straws by saying that,
but you know it. It usually helps when the team
that beats you at least loses or I mean at
least wins. It doesn't lose every game after that, so anyway,
(21:27):
should be a good game tonight. I don't know. That's

(21:49):
All right, we'll take your calls coming up on the
other side of this break eight five nine, two eighth
twenty two eighty seven. That's the Clark's puppet shot phone line. Billy,
I think you should really consider it. Let's see, Billy Brewer.
Brewer would you put her last name first or your
last We have to have a fourth.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
We can't do this.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
We talked about the lesson that you are William Rutledge
the third that's right. Are you gonna have Are you
gonna have a fourth so we can have a fifth?
I think you got to do it for good. You
gotta do it for the good of the radio show.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Billy.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Think about the ratings, Yeah, it is the ksrpre shio. Well,
I think that last segment got a lot of comments
on the text line and on Twitter of Austin Austin
agreeing to take his future wife's last name. One person
writes it and says, well, what if the person you're
(22:42):
marrying doesn't like your last name and wants to keep
their maiden name. Too bad? You're taking If you're marrying me,
you're taking Griggsby. I know it's not like a great
last name, you know. I don't know that anybody wants
to be Griggsby. But you're taking it, or you're not
marrying me. That's that's the compromise.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
We are seeing more and more of this, and people
are pointing out how good Billy Brewer sounds.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Billy Billy great alliteration there, Billy Brewer.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, yeah, Unfortunately I will not be taking her.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Name Billy Brewer. Okay, right ring to it, man, I
think you should consider it. I'm just saying, look, if
Austin's mad enough to do it, you should be able
to do it. Come on, just just consider it.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I could just wear Big Baller brand shirts like it's
like it is my brand with the trip will be there.
But you know a lot of comments people are glad
that his last name isn't Powell, or his name would
have been Austin Katina Powell.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh ah, that would be great, that would be even better.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
That would be tough.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Going back to what you were mentioning, though, five percent
of people actually do this because I don't know anybody. Well,
I guess I know one person now, a man that
has ever taken a woman's last name in marriage.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Yeah, let me get that back out because I was
wrong on that. That was.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Women in opposite sex mary's seventy nine percent take their
spouse's last name, fourteen percent keep their own, five percent
hyphen eight. Men in opposite sex marriages ninety two percent
keep their last name, five percent take their spouse's last name,
and less than one percent hyphenate both names. So if
you're Austin, then men less than one percent.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
But I would say taking her last name exclusively is
worse than hyphenating it, because at least you're keeping your
name in there. I would agree if you are so
beta that you're willing to just say, you know what,
I'm gonna forget my last name even exists and take
her last name, that's worse than hyphenating it.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
So that would be Billy Brewer, that would not be
Billy Brewer Rutledge.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Right, I think Billy Brewer is worse than Billy Brewer Rutledge.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I do too, because then your lineage is you're just
throwing that away.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Oh yeah, you're just completely caving at that point. It's
interesting though that that that many people would would even
be willing to do it.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Well, you know, he had a sweet answer that you know,
she wanted to write a book, and that was I
guess maybe no reasoning.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Now here's the thing. If you're a dude who, like Austin,
is taking her last name, then you are definitely going
to have a joint Facebook account in the near future already, right,
you know these people with joint Facebook accounts. There's probably
people listening right now that I'm making mad because you
have a joint Facebook account. But if you don't even
have your own Facebook account.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I if he's happy and this makes her happy, then
that will ultimately be the most deciding, the biggest and
deciding factor. But you also do shows with Tony and
Dwighte every day, Terry Minors, Shannon the dude. Yeah, the
industry you're in is just going to lead to maybe
people talking about it a little bit more exactly.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
All right, we haven't talked to any sports and we're
forty minutes in the show.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Makes these shows are better?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Well you said earlier, you go, we haven't talked to
any sports, and we've gotten like triple the amount of
comments from listeners as we would if we sit there
and broke down the game that happened last.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Week on Monday and we talked about big win versus
Indiana In the text line, there are a few people commenting,
but you know, after those two segments are text line
is going crazy right now?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Five oh two two sixty five sixty six five.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Speaking of Texters, do you believe Billy the anonymous texture
yesterday on KSR, the texted in and said that Jayden
Quainton's not only will he play Saturday against Saint John's,
but he will play ten to twelve minutes. There's a
very specific time that this person says that JQ will
play on Saturday. Do you believe the text?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But I respect the texter. I mean he's got that
billy confidence. When you're trying to make a name for
yourself as an anonymous texter or a source.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Well you're literally not trying to make a name for yourself.
You're being anonymous.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Well, if you want to be reliable, it's like somebody
that gets Matt's attention and you know, gets on the
air with some of these takes.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
You just have to have that unbridled confidence.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I am speaking from experience here, But do I think
that the team's plan is to be exactly between ten
to twelve No, it's probably you know, when there the
game does arise for him to get back in, to
put him in at some point, see how he feels,
how his body responds. I don't think it's just exactly
on the whiteboard ten to twelve minutes for the plan. Yeah,
(27:06):
I mean that's just way too specific for me, so
I think it's probably much a little bit more broad.
But if he comes in and plays ten to twelve minutes,
I mean he's he's a made man, right this anonymous Texter,
So I mean it's it's worth a shot.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Well, you know, Pope is saying that Quaintance is now
playing five on five. He said, I think today they're
gonna they've been playing half court, so I think today
they're actually going to try to play full court with him.
And it sounds like he is. They say, not weeks away,
not days away, but possibly hours away, So we could
be talking about the real possibility that he is playing
(27:41):
on Saturday against Saint John's. The question is, Billy, if
you put him in there and and you know, let's
say you're behind, and he starts making a real impact
in the game and you get to ten, eleven, twelve minutes,
do you let him go past that? I think you do.
You got us still win the games, you know.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
So that's yeah, that's why I think the Texter maybe
a little bit off, but in the right ballpark. But
I did like how Mark Pope praised that we're not
talking weeks anymore. We're talking days hours. Yeah, I mean,
it's exciting that they're going to get this guy back,
but it will come down to how they shorten this rotation. Right,
Who's going to be losing minutes with him coming back?
That is that probably Brandon Garrison, even though he's given
(28:18):
you some hustle minutes in the last game. You know,
we saw Yellovich really not play when Modeabate came back
and was a force at the four. So Mope, I
think Pope has to continue to shorten that roster as
we saw them play so well in the second half
when we when they played the guys that were showing
that heart. So I don't know, man, this guy is.
We've heard a lot about him. He's expected top five
(28:39):
pick in the next NBA draft, so I've got really
pretty high expectations for what he can do with this team.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
He's a monster as far as the stature out there.
We'll see how he plays, but just you know, I
guess the probably the most anticipated guy that we've been
waiting to see all season long to finally get out there,
hopefully on Saturday. Now, the shooting has been a big
problem for this team. Mark Pope says that he's.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Not worried about it.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
I am. I mean, we're you know, we're not three
or four games into the season. We're now eleven games
in and we've seen some bad shooting. Even though they
beat Indiana, you know, they beat them with their defense,
and you know Saint John's last year, you always expect
Ripatino teams to be able to shoot the ball really well.
They weren't that good of a shooting team last year.
Saint John's, right, I haven't really watched any of their
(29:23):
games this year. I don't know if you have. But
if Saint John's, you know, has some good shooters, I
don't think Kentucky can get into a shootout with them,
not with the way that they've been playing so far.
But Mark Pope thinks that Papa is saying, basically, look,
these guys have been knocked down shooters in practice. At
some point that's going to translate into the game. I
would just say, why is it taking so long for
that to happen?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yeah, you know, I'm not sure this This is a
Saint John's team. I do know that has had point
guard struggles this year, so will they be able to
initiate offense? Kentucky's been having to play games in the sixties,
seventies and eighties, right, I mean after last year where
they had all these shooters in a lot if it
was like the rule of maybe ninety one instead of
seventy one there for a little bit, But.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
You know, this is this is there's gonna be a
lot of eyeballs on this.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I think.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
I mean a neutral site game. Rick Patino playing Kentucky again.
We've talked about maybe they've busted out the Denham jerseys
or maybe tease that a little bit even more college basketball.
The world is going to be watching this one, and
Kentucky has to continue to bolster their non conference resume
after the slow start. So I think there's a lot
of pressure on Kentucky to pull out this game, but
(30:30):
probably more so than Kentucky than on Saint John's.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
At this point.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean, this is a chance to
get a top twenty five win. The Indiana win was good.
You know, it's gonna be one that they'll be able
to put on the resume come March. But it wasn't
over a top twenty five team. You got Saint John's,
who I think is like twenty second or twenty third
ranked right now, So that's that's a chance to get
a good win, and you need this one coming up
on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
But like Jasper Johnson, I just don't know how many
more minutes he's going to be seeing.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah, moving forward right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I mean Cam Williams has really stepped up at the four.
But is somebody like Colin Chandler going to see his
minutes fall out? He didn't play well in the last
game and you saw him get phased out in the
second half. Trent Noah is somebody you probably do you
see him in the starting lineup again? Probably not?
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Probably not? Yeah, And Quainton is going to eat up
somebody's minutes when he gets completely healthy and back into
the rotation.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Malachi Moreno is somebody that was really strong early on,
but is he kind of phased out a little bit?
You know, these are all decisions that the coach making
million dollars are millions of dollars has to decide.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
So they have been really quiet about the dentim. So
if they bring here's why I think we need to
bring back the dentim and then bring back these Uh
well you're not bring them back, but I think they
should use the Denny's shoes. I wanted to talk about
what you talking to Denny. Okay, first of all, I'm
talking about Denny's restaurant. When was the last time you
thought about a Denny's. I'm not even asking when the
(31:51):
last time you ate it a Denny's is. When's the
last time you even thought about a Dinnis.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
It's a decade.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Maybe maybe a little less than that because I saw
a road sign, but like, uh, I've been more of it,
like an I hop waffle house kind of guy.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
When's the last time you went to Denny's.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
I couldn't even tell you. Like I said, the last time,
I didn't even know that Denny's were even still a thing,
didn't even know they were still open. Are they the
ones that do the Grand Slam breakfast? No? That is
waffle House, I believe. No, Oh that's the All Star Special. Yeah, no,
I think I think Denny's is the Grand Slam? Am
I right? I mean, yes, it is the Grand Slam. Anyway,
(32:26):
Denny's is making headlines because at noon today they're gonna
put out these They're calling them sticky kicks. But you
got to look them up. Okay, I'm looking at there
they're an ugly tennis shoe, and I guess if you're
a sneakerhead like our boy Matt Jones is, maybe he
wants some of these. But they're putting actual maple syrup
inside of the shoes, and they're selling these things for
(32:47):
like two hundred bucks. Do you have them? Who you're
looking at them?
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Yeah, I'm looking at them. Here.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Is there any scenario in which Billy r Sports would
want a pair of sticky kicks Denny's shoes with maple
syrup in them?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
No, I'm good, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
I am still wearing the same Hokahs for the last
three years that are dirty, but they are black and
they match with almost everything that I wear. So I'm
not the shoe guy. Matt definitely is. But to have
syrup inside the shoe, I just don't know if that
does anything for it.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
So they're high tops. They're like a mustard yellow with
red font that says Denny's on the side, and then
in the middle they've got maple syrup in there.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Yeah. Does it smell like maple syrup?
Speaker 1 (33:31):
I don't know. Because they say that might help. There
is a disclaimer that says don't drink the syrup. So
you know, if you're dumb enough to buy these shoes,
you're probably dumb enough to try to drink the syrup
out of the shoes. Under ninety five dollars two hundred
bucks for these shoes, is anybody buying those? Yo?
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:49):
I mean you've seen the money grabs people have had.
We talked about kiss air guitar strings yesterday, So I mean,
somebody's gonna buy Denny's shoes. There's a Denny super fan
out there that cannot wait to put these puppies on.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Do you think there's Denny superfans that exist?
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Oh? Yeah, yeah, there's somebody out there that goes every
day to Denny's or sits in a booth every weekend.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
But what do you think? National Syrup Day is December seventeenth, and.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
That's why they're then, that's why they're being released. So
I guess all.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Whole real drip fans.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
I'll hold out for the Chee Chee shoes that have
like fried ice cream.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Exactly the audience.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
There is a Denny super fan, just like Shannon the
Dude would would buy Chee Chee's slippers.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
There you go, if anybody boys them, I want to
see them eight five, nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven.
We're going to take a break. We'll be right back
for our final segment of the KSR pre Show. Up.
Next final segment of the KSR pre Show, Billy, will
you go see Journey? They're doing their farewell tour. They're
coming into Lexington next year. It's not even Steve Perry.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
No.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
I have seen them recently with their their new singer
who sounds really like Steve Perry. Actually, so I've been there,
done that, so I won't i won't be seeing it.
But do you have a fun place in your heart
for Journey?
Speaker 1 (35:01):
No, never really was a fan. I saw him one
time that I think they played, like at the Kentucky
State Fair. The guy is good, though, if you close
your eyes and don't look up there and see that
it's not Steve Perry and you would think that this guy.
And the crazy thing about that is they found this
guy from YouTube. He was like in Singapore and they
just went on YouTube and saw this video of this
guy singing I think, just Journey songs and they call
(35:24):
him up and like, hey man, you want to be
in the band. Next thing, you know, he's the singer
for Journey.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Looks nothing like his voice, which is which is pretty incredible.
How close it is to Steve Perry. Yeah, so when'd
you say that?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Was?
Speaker 3 (35:36):
That?
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Is March coping up in March at Roparino coming up? Yeah, yeah,
free tickets to WKQQ dot com. Get that promo in there.
All right, So coming up today on KSR, you got
Myron Metcalf. He's going to be joining us at ten o'clock.
You know our guy, Myron, he's a big waffle house guy,
saying if they ever did like some waffle House shoes,
I can see him buying those.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Yeah, those would have to be like steel toad shoes, right,
just in case you get in a fight and your
waffle House shoes will embody what you see at.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
The Restaurant's Adam Lucky coming up in the second hour
or two hereks are coming up next. Until then it's
the KSR pre Show. Have you seen what they're doing
with the the NBA All Star Game, Billy, I know
that nobody cares about the NBA All Star Games, so
they're trying to do anything they can to make people care.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
No, what are they doing?
Speaker 1 (36:22):
So they're gonna have like the American All Stars versus
the International All Stars, and they're gonna do like a
round robin of four twelve minute games. I don't know
what we're doing with the All Star I know the
All Star Game is ridiculous to begin with, but they're
taking it now and trying to do anything they can
to make this thing exciting for fans. Does that interest
(36:43):
you at all? For twelve four games twelve minutes long,
International All Stars versus Americans.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Well, let me try to buy into this, because the
first three quarters of the All Star Game is a joke, right,
It's just like, let's walk back and let's.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Do some alley oops.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
But the fourth quarter becomes a little interesting. The guys
tighten up a little bit, maybe a little bit of
defense is played. So maybe you just want to get
more games at the end of winning time, right, So
maybe you will have more end of game situations in this.
But I don't know, Shane, I don't know if we'll
ever get back to the importance of All Star games back.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
In the day.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
It's just it's just kind of it's become a glorified
pickup game line.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
I don't know that they ever really were important but
it's yeah, you're right. I mean it's become to the
point where it's two hundred to one hundred and ninety eight.
That's that's the All Star Game. Now, I do like,
you know, I didn't think I would ever like the
elam ending, but I think for things like this, I
kind of do like.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
That a forced buzzer beader.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Yeah, you know, like give me something to look forward to,
because I can't watch the NBA All Star Game. It's
just it's boring. Like I'll watch the dunk contest, you know,
three point shooting contest like that still does it for me.
But the All Star Game itself, you know, I guess
maybe I liked it more when I was a kid,
but like now I just can't watch it.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Let's keep trying, like, let's keep trying these new ideas.
One will eventually stick. Like you're throwing a Denny's flapjack
against the wall. Maybe maybe it will stick one of
these days. Shannon, I got something for you. This comes
from the NFL. Did you ever get nervous back in
the day before a big game as an athlete, like
butterflies jitterary?
Speaker 1 (38:17):
I'm sure, yeah, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
We had to like puke before the game.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Never puked before game, never, never went to that extreme.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Bill's quarterback Josh Allen pukes before every game. It's something
he did in high school, in college and it followed
him to the NFL. It's just nervous energy. And if
he doesn't puke before the game, he will puke during
the game, maybe at halftime.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
And he was puking on the sideline in the third
quarter of the Bill's latest win, and people were like,
what's going on, and Josh had to remind everybody he
does this before every single game.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Do you think that's a little bizarre.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
That is definite strange.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
But I'm an elite athlete like that.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
Yeah, to that point, you'd think you'd become a little
bit more comfortable.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
But so you know, like part of it too, is
the pregame mill that you have to have, right sure,
and you're just gonna eat that and just throw it
right back up.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
I think it's times that he eats pretty early on
so that he can puke and it's not his whole
I guess lunch coming up, but.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
I just feel like you would get comfortable eventually.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
That is weird. I've never heard that story, never heard
of anybody doing it after like before every game.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Yeah, and Josh and the press conference to do this every.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Game pregame ritual. Sorry, guys got to go throw up.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Oh, that's just Josh, that's quarter.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
I've heard that, like David Letterman did the same thing
before like every show. But I don't think that's true
that because I mean he's doing like five shows a
night or you know, like they're recording I guess what
two of these probably a night at least, so he's
doing three nights a week, two or three nights a week,
So it's one thing to do it. I guess maybe
once a week. But if you're doing it before every show.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
You think Bob Barker got nervous, right, Like Barker was
as cool as a cucumber.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
He didn't get nervous about anything.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
I got nervous before things when I I was in
high school, like or even like even beginning of college.
Maybe the first time I did the pre show, i'd
have a little stomach ache.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
But did you like you didn't. You're not puking though,
you're not going out?
Speaker 3 (40:09):
No, No, Like it's not like that. So I don't know,
maybe that's more of a more common thing that we think.
But you know, maybe you have a big speech and
somebody will puke and go to the bathroom. But this
is Josh Allen at the highest level of the sport.
What ye're seven or eight right now with his NFL career,
and he's still doing that.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
So if he doesn't get it out before the game,
you'll say, you're saying that.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
He will do it like its still do it?
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (40:31):
And then so this is it got brought up because
he was on the sideline in the third quarter puking.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Like yeah, yeah, I feel like once you're into the game,
like the nerves should be gone, right. I mean, part
of that is just being nervous before it starts. It's
like you may, like Tom Petty said, I make the
lining problem or the waiting is the hardest part, But
once you get into it, I wouldn't think you would
still be that nervous.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
It might be an acid reflex problem, Josh. We may
even go to a doctor or something. It may not
just be nervous energy.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
But anyway, that is strange. All right, Draft Kings Sports Book.
Let me tell you one more time. Promo code KSR.
You bet five dollars, you get two hundred dollars in
bonus bets if your bet hits, and you can do
live bet, same game parlays, player props, fast and easy payouts,
all on the Draft Kings sportsbook with promo code KSR.
All right, so that is gonna do it for the
(41:20):
KSR pre show. As I said, Myrin Metcalf coming up.
He's gonna be joining us at ten o'clock. Billy, have
you considered throughout the hour? Have I turned you at
all on maybe considering taking Billy Brewer as your last Oh?
Speaker 3 (41:31):
No, Billy Brewer, no hyphen. More power to our guy
Austin and a fun show. I appreciate him having joining us,
But no, what about you, dude?
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Have you doing any changes?
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Never gonna happen, Never gonna happen. Now you're out. By
the way, you got jury duty Thursday, right.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
Yeah, I got jury duty coming up, so we'll talk
more about that tomorrow. I think, all right, best to look,
gotta do my civic duties. That's right, all right, that's
gonna do it for the pre show. KSR is up
next for Billy Relige. I'm shaving them the dude, we'll
talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Thanks for listening.
Welcome everyone. It is the KSR Pre Show, Tuesday, December sixteenth,
nine days away from Christmas. The countdown is on. If
you haven't done your Christmas shopping yet, you got some
work to do, a bunch of procrastinators just like me
wait until last minute to go out and get all
my stuff done. Yeah, I'm talking to you. I know
how you are. Hey, give us a call on the
Clock's puppet shop phone one eight five nine two eighth
(00:22):
twenty two eighty seven. You can also send us a
text at five O two two six five six six
five six. The KSR pre Show is being brought to
you by Italics. Find Italian downing in Lexington. You can also,
by the way, be o a whiskey thief Call of
the Day. Billy are Sports over in Lexington in the studio.
It's up, Billy. How are you man?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I'm good, dude.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I need to pick up a lint roller when I
go out and do my Christmas shopping.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I've got cat hair.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Cat see you bring in those cats. You don't think
about all the other ways they affect your daily life.
Not only do you have to feed the thing, you know,
play with it, pay for all of its vet bills.
Then you've also got a walk around with its hair
all over you all day.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yeah, well, we had some snuggles this morning, so maybe
I got a little cat.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Dude. I saw you had like an entire like tower
behind you the other day when you were doing the
show from home. Yeah, yeah, like a cat jungle gym.
Is that what your house has turned into? Just pretty
much a cat palace?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yeah yeah, I mean, don't even look at my garage anymore.
We made some progress back in the day. That video
that I've sent you doesn't even hold up anymore. But yeah,
there's two of those jungle gyms in my house right now.
And the one that you saw we put right next
to the window so he can kind of sit there
and look outside and see what's going on. Shannon, Bye,
I'm starting to learn cats are a little bit more
(01:40):
vindictive than dogs. Like I trying to tell you that
I will hold a grudge. I able to tell you that,
did you smack you in the face once or twice
just for good measure like that?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
There's just a different kind of like motivation or evilness
with these animals.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I'm just learning that day by day.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Well, if you would listen to me every now and
then you would know. As we talked about this before
you got the cat, I tried to tell you that
cats look at humans for one reason and one reason only.
You're there for their comfort. You're there to feed them.
You're there to be a scratching post if that's what
they need, if they need to rub up against you,
because they're backspitches. You're their backscratcher, like that's that's the
(02:18):
way cats are, And they don't care about you. As
soon as they like see you as as not being
able to provide them with some sort of service, they
will just slap you in the face like your cat
did you.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
No, I mean he looked me right in my eyes
and then started pushing the remote off the table. Yeah,
and then and then the remote fell, and then I
got up and put the remote back, and he would
look at rewrite it again and just start pushing that
thing off for no good reason. Shannon, So, I don't know,
just starting to slowly figure that out.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
But you get a furry you got a furry menace
in your house, and you're now a cat dad to
where now you're you know your comfort is being sacrificed
for the cover of the cat.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
You're right, but it is better being a cat daddy
than it is being a furry Like you are a Shannon.
We know that you go to these conventions at the
motels's to travel around in your costume.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
No, no, I make fun of those people, those remotes
that I know ten of those people. I don't actually
go to a furry convention. That was Matt and Ryan
and Drew that went to the furry convention. I was
here in the studio. I did not go to that.
Although they are entertaining centers doing.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
A remote or something at one of these, I've.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Never been to one, but I've seen the videos that,
like I think Mario did a video on them. You
go around and you interview these people who are cosplaying
and they think that they're actually a cat, and like, yeah,
people that think they're a dog, and they'll come up
to you and they'll they won't talk to you. They'll
just bark at you and pee on your leg.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
They get that fill doing comic con right. But like,
if you were to find yourself at one of these
furry conventions, I feel like it'd be a little bit different.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I feel like that's more you're seeing than mine yours. Anyway,
you know, yesterday after Paul and Minnesota called in talking
about chee cheese, I guess I just had like a
craving for Mexican food. So I didn't have any chee
cheese around here, so I just went to like another
Mexican place. And I won't say their name because I
don't want to throw them under the bush. But I
(04:08):
was a little upset, Billy when I walked in to
get my burrito and they looked at me and they go,
we can't sell you anything. Our registers down, Our register
is offline. And I go, okay, so I got cash, Nope,
can't take it. You're telling me your registers down, you
can't use a card. I understand that the card has
(04:30):
to go through it's all like, you know, programmed into
the system. I get that. But if I've got cash
and I just want to buy a burrito, why can't
you take my cash? And I just don't understand that, Billy.
But I feel like that is the world we now
live in, where one thing goes down, somebody's Wi Fi
is not working that day, and they have to shut
the entire business down. I don't know why they can't
(04:51):
go old school, get the little calculator out bank boom,
figure out how to get my burrito when I just
want to pay for it in cash? Like, can we
not do basic math? I mean, is it better off
to shut down the entire business just go you know what,
we're out of business for the day because our Wi
Fi is down. Then to take somebody's cash and be
able to still operate as normal. It was the most
(05:12):
frustrating thing. So then I had to go somewhere else
and it took me like an hour just to get
my burrito. And I'm going, why because somebody's Wi Fi
is down? It's insanity.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Oh, I bet you're getting a little hungry too, But
I already am.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I'm ranching about it right now, just thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
You know, It's yeah, that doesn't make sense to me.
I mean, this is legal tender. Let's barter here. I
got money, Why don't you give me a burrito? I
guess they're going to great lengths to not do any math, Shannon.
Do they have to have a record of everything? They
can't just write something like this down. That does seem
like a little stupid to.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Me, you know, rob Burrito's like that. Now it's completely cashless.
So if you want to go up and you want
to get yourself one of those ice creams that everybody loves,
you gotta pay for it with a card. You can't
do it in cash.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
But like, could I give them just a ten dollars
bill and say keep the change? I just want an
ice cream? Can you turn around give me an ice
cream and I'll have my credit card?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Like, yeah, just consider it a tip.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, I mean is.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
It because they can't do math? Or is it just because,
like what they can't get the register to open? Like,
there's got to be an explanation why you would rather
shut down the entire business than take my cash. Because
that does not seem logical to me.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That's kind of what I was getting at. What would
be that reason?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I mean, we can get the calculator at out right,
we can figure out what the change needs to be subtraction,
But like, does there need to be like a written
or a record of each thing, each transaction?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
That down yes, I feel like you know, Wi Fi
goes down. The world does not even know how to,
Like their brain falls out of their skull. They don't
even know how to do basic math to figure out
how they can keep their business open without having to
have Wi Fi. Yeah, it's insane.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I mean I could see a young Shannon the Dude
working the host to stand.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
When I come to the.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Host to stand, you know it's a home stand.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
If I'm there, get it, I said hosted, I said
it right, host, Well for you, it's hostess. So I
come up to the hostess stand in a young Shannon
the Dude says, sorry, systems down, can't sit you, And
I'm like, well, I got cash.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Can we do this thing?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Shannon is like, no, not my problem, not eating for you.
So I mean I could kind of see you doing that.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Well no, I mean I, first of all wouldn't be
working at a host in. Let's get that right from
the beginnings. Say I did serve tables one time, and
now I've told you I was the absolute worst server ever.
Like I would always get the orders wrong, you know,
Like where I worked, they expected you to memorize who
got what, so let you write it down. Well you
(07:41):
could write it down, but you're not supposed to. Like
you go out there with the food. You can't be
looking at your paper as you're holding seven different plates,
you know, so you're supposed to memorize where everything goes,
and I was. I was just the worst at it.
I did it for like two months, and I go
the serving industry is not for me. I appreciate those
who do it, but like and then people will give
you the order, and a lot of times, like I'd
(08:04):
be sitting there writing and it takes me in a
minute to write down the thing, you know, and I
felt like they're they're staring at me the whole time,
pressuring me to hurry up and get the order down.
But some of these people you go out and order, man,
they just know it all off the top of their head,
and I'm like, are you sure you got all that?
Nine times out of ten they.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Screw the order up, so it is a memory problem
for you.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I feel like I would get frustrated the one time
I didn't get tipped at a ten top or something
like that, or well.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Now they put the gratuity on there just automatically.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I would snap back after a snarky comment or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
You never have to serve tables at all over college? Yeah,
everybody should have to do that. One time just to
have the appreciation for how hard it is to actually
be a server in a restaurant, because if you're a
bad if you're a bad tipper, that'll give you like
an all new perspective on like you know, like I
do twenty percent unless it's horrible. You know, you got
to be really bad to get less than twenty.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
For me, well, yeah, and you have a lot more
respect for the staff, I'm sure after that and everything
that they're going through. But yeah, I mean I'm generally
around the twenty percent range too, if not a little
bit more. But chanted I'm not afraid if it's a
bad service to go a little bit lower than that.
I mean, people think that that's a faux pa, but
you know what, you got to earn it.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
That's true, that's true. But you know, I like to,
you know, keep it. I guess twenty percent because that's
kind of the standard. Now. Used to be ten, then
it went fifteen, Now it's twenty.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Now gilt twenty five.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Now you go to the thing. I went to Starbucks
the other day, They're like, what do you want to
tip your barista? I'm going, well, uh, do you want eighteen?
Twenty and like thirty or maybe it was like or
maybe maybe it was like no, I don't think eighteen
was even an option. It was like twenty twenty five thirty.
Now we're like, where does it end? Are we going
up to like fifty percent?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
It's somehow I'm much more inclined to tip the barista
than like the sandwich maker.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, yeah, anyway, five nine, twenty two eighty seven, we're
going to take your calls. We are going to talk
some sports today, uh later on today on KSR. All right,
Ryan and drew her out, so it's just Matt and
I and Matt's calling in Myron Metcalf to join us
in the at the ten o'clock hour. Then in the
eleven o'clock hour, Adam Luckett KSR is going to join us.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
So let's let's have f Myron if he's ever been
a color commentator for a college football game, or if
it's just going to be a fresh start for everybody
on the twenty third for the Western.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, I really want to know about this, because you've
got two guys that they are just throwing into a
game to do play by play in color. Billy doing
color has got to be a lot easier than doing
play by play. You've done play by play for high
school games, right?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Oh? Yeah, I've done years of play by play. So
I tried to give him out a tip or two
over the past couple of days about painting the picture, Shannon,
you know, the players going left to right on your
radio dial. You've got to you know, you got to
make the scene for the listener. But are is the
ESPN sending these guys up to fail a little bit
if they've never done a game before, Shannon, And.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
It kind of tells me they really don't care.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Is it like rating at any cost?
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I think ESPN has taken the strategy of we need
two human being with a pulse to go call this game.
We don't care that you have no experience whatsoever. Just
sit up there and call it like you see it.
I think that's what they're doing. I think that's the
approach that they're doing by putting Matt and Myron doing
a play by play football game that neither one of
(11:17):
them have any Well, maybe Myron does, I don't know.
We'll dig into his past and see if he's got
any experience, but we know Matt has zero play by
play experience. I can't wait to hear it. Oh you know,
if it's a train wreck, it'll still be good radio
because it'll still make you want to listen to it.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Right well, yeah, it was like when he suggested they
take calls at some point. It was a really got
a good idea of where this is going to go.
Time and score time and score time and score. You've
got to give that a lot more than you think
because people will complain about that if you don't. And
then one of the most important things back when I
was doing it was pronunciations, especially in high school when
(11:51):
you have the parents or grandparents listening from different states.
That's all they care about is hearing their kids name
a couple times. And it's a little different in a
college football bowl game. But Shannon, you lose your credibility
if you're stumbling over names.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Right right.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
We went through the roster though last week. I think
most of the names on there, Matt can pronounce. He's
gonna be fine. There is one that gave us a
little bit of trouble. We went through and practiced on
some of the roster names. But you're right on the
time and score thing. You know, you don't think about
this unless you're I guess old enough to remember it.
But back in the day, they didn't have the score
(12:25):
on the screen all the time we were watching a game.
You didn't have a score bug. So a lot of
times if you go back and watch like replays of
these old games, you don't know what the score is
until they go to commercial break, Like they wouldn't have
the scores up there. Now, you know, it looks like
there's all kinds of like stuff streaming across the bottom.
You got to score up at the top, right, you
got other scores on the other side, there's like scores
everywhere on the screen.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
You get next stats on the bottom telling me passer
rating numbers exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
But you know, like it wasn't all that long ago
you didn't have anything on there. So you're right, score
in time. Make sure you turned down that.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Very important And then we're going to figure out how
much Matt really knows about football, right, Well?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
No, well, well he's the play by play guy. Though
he just does the play by play. I think that's myrons.
That's sort of his job to fill in the blanks.
He's the color commentator. He's the one that's got to
sort of analyze everything. You know.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
You'd be surprised how much you got to know formations,
you know, like penalties that is true, that is true.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Like nuances of the game.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, so are you gonna be the stat guy?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
No, I can't go. I've got Kentucky Bellerman the same
day that I've got.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Oh so now he doesn't have a stat guy either.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Listen, I'm charging.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I'm in charge of the UK sports networks, so I've
I am obviously needed here.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
But I do wish them the best of luck.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I won't have to travel on Christmas, even an airport
trying to get back home, so I guess that's a plus.
But a little bummed out I'm going to be missing
the game. But uh Western has been great in Bowl games, man,
They've They've got a pretty good track record over these
last decade or two, and so I'm hopefully it's a
good game for Matt and Myron.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
No doubt.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Maybe you could text them some stats throughout the game,
you know, good game there, you go, just take some stats,
Just just feed him some information, you know, Like Freddy
Maggett used to do that for me on the show here.
He would just feed me, feed me some lines that way,
I could you know, just pepper those in.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Uh, you're a ghost writers, not.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
My takes, but my stats. He was my stat guy.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I always knew if I get a text from Freddy
it's going to be some good stats coming in eight, five, nine,
twenty two eighty seven. Hey, we want to take your
phone calls. We do have an update on JQ Jake
and Quaintance. Looks like we may be getting closer to
seeing him on the floor for the first time this year.
And uh, we'll take take your calls and a whole
lot more, including these, uh these Denny's syrup shoes. We
(14:42):
got to talk about what, Yes, it's all the rage.
We'll talk about that. Coming up next. It is the
KSR pre Show. We'll be right back, all right, it
is the ks R pre Show. Paul McCartney Wonderful Christmas Time.
Some people call one of the most annoying Christmas songs
of all time. I kind of like this song though, Yes, yeah,
(15:03):
this is on the list because the scynth at the
end of the song, he just goes crazy on the
scynth and just starts randomly hitting buttons on it.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
When I say it's on the list, it means it's
on the list of songs I hear every year, like
this is on our playlist.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
So this is in the rotation, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah. Uh So Austin, who you've heard maybe a couple
of times here on the KSR pre show, has produced
the show. He just came into the studio and you
as you were telling me, hey, let me turn your
mic on.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
How do y'all there?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
You go? Hey, hey, all right, So Billy you were
telling me, and I didn't know about this until we
just started there, and I never know which direction the
show was going to go in from one day to
another or one minute to the next. But Billy, you
were telling me that Austin sitting next to me here
is about to get married, and that he is doing
what what is he doing?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Well, our guy, Austin's getting married this week. Congratulations?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
All right, thank you this Saturday right across from Yeah, congratulations.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
But now but now candy stores closed? Is that?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
What is that? What you call it?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Closed? And all?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
All right? Okay, so what's happening?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
So I was listening to Terry Minor show yesterday and Austin.
You're doing a great job as the producer of that.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
You appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
But you said that you're going to hyphen your last
name after you get married.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Yes, sir, what do you mean by hyphened? Do you
mean you're taking her last name?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
I am adding her last name on to mine, and
she's obviously having my last name on to hers too.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Okay, So does your name go first or does her
name go first?
Speaker 5 (16:30):
How does this we were I we were doing it
in my head. Her last name is Katina. It's gonna
be Katina Montgomery because I like that better than Montgomery Katina.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Okay, I just feel like that's a.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Lot to throw the more syllable words to throw off first,
like my last name is harder to do first. But
it's just a compromise that that we both made. The
last name thing never really meant a lot to me. Yeah,
all that much.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
It's just a thing I don't care about.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
And I just need to know how this conversation went.
Was she like, you know what, I really don't like
your last name Montgomery. I really don't want that to
be my last name. Like how did this conversation come up?
Speaker 4 (17:05):
And was it awkward?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I mean, like, I look more power to you, man,
but I'm not doing that. I'm not taking another woman's
last name.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
My my fiance is very based on on grounds and morals,
and she is very she's a new age. Let's just
say she's she grew up in California, right, Okay, So
that that should answer a lot.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Of your questions. Right there, California, say no more.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
She lived there the last ten years before we finally met.
But her thing was all about you know, it's it.
It's maybe some things that I don't agree with, but
I will I'll go ahead of meeter her in the
middle and compromise on because once again, the last name
never really meant all that much, just in.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Case, but it was just more based off of.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Women these days, they don't like the ownership, like the
the so I'm expected to change my name because I
get married. And she's not as traditional ass some women
may be. And she's also a marketer, and she she
graduated with a with an English degree, so she's always
wanted to write a book, and so her main thing is, well,
(18:12):
when I write a book, I've always dreamed since I
was a little girl to have my first and last
name on the book for whenever I published something, the
cop that this was that that was her way and
I and I gave I gave her the big puppy doll.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Well, I guess that sounds that sounds great.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Now. See if Billy did this, we would be giving
him absolute Hell, we're giving you.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
A little We're going a little bit easy on you
right now. What Tony and Dwight have had to say.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I was gonna ask you, like, who will be wearing
the dress? You were hurt? I'm gidding.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
It's very brave of you, because I'm sure the Tony
and Dwight's of the world would have fun with.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Oh boy, yeah they they they've been giving me some
h t double hockey state though, but uh there, it's
it's completely fine. One of the things that's never meant
to too much to me. Plus, whenever we have some
all star athlete kids, because I am the beacon of
everything you'd probably wants to be.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yeah, you're you're an athlete, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
There's so much cooler with three last names.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Yeah, Like if you're Collie Stein, Collie Stein or kick Gilchrish,
it just Willie Stein.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
That's just the same right, exactly.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
I happen to be naming all these Kentucky players. I'm
wearing a Louisville hoodie. So yeah, but you know, I
like to watch from a so.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Seventy nine percent of spouses take their husband's last names,
or at least females seventy seventy nine percent fourteen percent
keep their own in five percent hyphen eight both names.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Wow, you're in the five percent. Yeah, that's right, all right, man,
at least I'm in five percent of something.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
There you go, all right.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
It's always kind of been big and her.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
There's a lot of her family members that also have
hyphen ad last names with their significant others too. So
and always told her it's easy to just drop your
name if we ever get split.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Now, does she proposed to you or you proposed to her? Stop?
All right, we'll let you go.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
She got down on the left knee. I got down
on the right.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
A happy wife, happy one.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Appreciate this figure out.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Congratulations and also yeah, congratulations.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
There you go. All right, Billy, can we talk you
into hyphen now in.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Your last negative? No negative, you will not be able
to do that.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
That's a shame. I really hope we can tried.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I mean we had that conversation. I drew the line
in the sand.

we got Louisbell and Tennessee, two Kentucky's most bitter rivals,
(20:37):
playing each other, and they both lose. I was gonna
ask you, like, who do you think, like, who's Big
Blue Nation pulling for here? Or are we just pulling
for money?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
That's what I would do, Yeah, pull on for the
under maybe yeah, maybe under over under. In this one,
I'd probably stay away from the point spread because you'd
have to root for one of these.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Dudes if I got to pull from one of the other.
I guess maybe there's the cost the conference allegiance, right,
you know, with them being an SEC school, maybe you pull.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
For jal Hot right now they're winning games, so.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
But then The other thing is too. You know, you
just lost to Lobel, so you kind of need level
to have some big wins too, because it makes your
loss at least. Yeah, it makes your resume slightly better.
I know we're like grasping its straws by saying that,
but you know it. It usually helps when the team
that beats you at least loses or I mean at
least wins. It doesn't lose every game after that, so anyway,
(21:27):
should be a good game tonight. I don't know. That's

(21:49):
All right, we'll take your calls coming up on the
other side of this break eight five nine, two eighth
twenty two eighty seven. That's the Clark's puppet shot phone line. Billy,
I think you should really consider it. Let's see, Billy Brewer.
Brewer would you put her last name first or your
last We have to have a fourth.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
We can't do this.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
We talked about the lesson that you are William Rutledge
the third that's right. Are you gonna have Are you
gonna have a fourth so we can have a fifth?
I think you got to do it for good. You
gotta do it for the good of the radio show.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Billy.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Think about the ratings, Yeah, it is the ksrpre shio. Well,
I think that last segment got a lot of comments
on the text line and on Twitter of Austin Austin
agreeing to take his future wife's last name. One person
writes it and says, well, what if the person you're
(22:42):
marrying doesn't like your last name and wants to keep
their maiden name. Too bad? You're taking If you're marrying me,
you're taking Griggsby. I know it's not like a great
last name, you know. I don't know that anybody wants
to be Griggsby. But you're taking it, or you're not
marrying me. That's that's the compromise.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
We are seeing more and more of this, and people
are pointing out how good Billy Brewer sounds.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Billy Billy great alliteration there, Billy Brewer.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, yeah, Unfortunately I will not be taking her.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Name Billy Brewer. Okay, right ring to it, man, I
think you should consider it. I'm just saying, look, if
Austin's mad enough to do it, you should be able
to do it. Come on, just just consider it.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I could just wear Big Baller brand shirts like it's
like it is my brand with the trip will be there.
But you know a lot of comments people are glad
that his last name isn't Powell, or his name would
have been Austin Katina Powell.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh ah, that would be great, that would be even better.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
That would be tough.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Going back to what you were mentioning, though, five percent
of people actually do this because I don't know anybody. Well,
I guess I know one person now, a man that
has ever taken a woman's last name in marriage.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Yeah, let me get that back out because I was
wrong on that. That was.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Women in opposite sex mary's seventy nine percent take their
spouse's last name, fourteen percent keep their own, five percent
hyphen eight. Men in opposite sex marriages ninety two percent
keep their last name, five percent take their spouse's last name,
and less than one percent hyphenate both names. So if
you're Austin, then men less than one percent.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
But I would say taking her last name exclusively is
worse than hyphenating it, because at least you're keeping your
name in there. I would agree if you are so
beta that you're willing to just say, you know what,
I'm gonna forget my last name even exists and take
her last name, that's worse than hyphenating it.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
So that would be Billy Brewer, that would not be
Billy Brewer Rutledge.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Right, I think Billy Brewer is worse than Billy Brewer Rutledge.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I do too, because then your lineage is you're just
throwing that away.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Oh yeah, you're just completely caving at that point. It's
interesting though that that that many people would would even
be willing to do it.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Well, you know, he had a sweet answer that you know,
she wanted to write a book, and that was I
guess maybe no reasoning.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Now here's the thing. If you're a dude who, like Austin,
is taking her last name, then you are definitely going
to have a joint Facebook account in the near future already, right,
you know these people with joint Facebook accounts. There's probably
people listening right now that I'm making mad because you
have a joint Facebook account. But if you don't even
have your own Facebook account.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I if he's happy and this makes her happy, then
that will ultimately be the most deciding, the biggest and
deciding factor. But you also do shows with Tony and
Dwighte every day, Terry Minors, Shannon the dude. Yeah, the
industry you're in is just going to lead to maybe
people talking about it a little bit more exactly.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
All right, we haven't talked to any sports and we're
forty minutes in the show.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Makes these shows are better?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Well you said earlier, you go, we haven't talked to
any sports, and we've gotten like triple the amount of
comments from listeners as we would if we sit there
and broke down the game that happened last.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Week on Monday and we talked about big win versus
Indiana In the text line, there are a few people commenting,
but you know, after those two segments are text line
is going crazy right now?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Five oh two two sixty five sixty six five.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Speaking of Texters, do you believe Billy the anonymous texture
yesterday on KSR, the texted in and said that Jayden
Quainton's not only will he play Saturday against Saint John's,
but he will play ten to twelve minutes. There's a
very specific time that this person says that JQ will
play on Saturday. Do you believe the text?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But I respect the texter. I mean he's got that
billy confidence. When you're trying to make a name for
yourself as an anonymous texter or a source.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Well you're literally not trying to make a name for yourself.
You're being anonymous.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Well, if you want to be reliable, it's like somebody
that gets Matt's attention and you know, gets on the
air with some of these takes.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
You just have to have that unbridled confidence.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I am speaking from experience here, But do I think
that the team's plan is to be exactly between ten
to twelve No, it's probably you know, when there the
game does arise for him to get back in, to
put him in at some point, see how he feels,
how his body responds. I don't think it's just exactly
on the whiteboard ten to twelve minutes for the plan. Yeah,
(27:06):
I mean that's just way too specific for me, so
I think it's probably much a little bit more broad.
But if he comes in and plays ten to twelve minutes,
I mean he's he's a made man, right this anonymous Texter,
So I mean it's it's worth a shot.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Well, you know, Pope is saying that Quaintance is now
playing five on five. He said, I think today they're
gonna they've been playing half court, so I think today
they're actually going to try to play full court with him.
And it sounds like he is. They say, not weeks away,
not days away, but possibly hours away, So we could
be talking about the real possibility that he is playing
(27:41):
on Saturday against Saint John's. The question is, Billy, if
you put him in there and and you know, let's
say you're behind, and he starts making a real impact
in the game and you get to ten, eleven, twelve minutes,
do you let him go past that? I think you do.
You got us still win the games, you know.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
So that's yeah, that's why I think the Texter maybe
a little bit off, but in the right ballpark. But
I did like how Mark Pope praised that we're not
talking weeks anymore. We're talking days hours. Yeah, I mean,
it's exciting that they're going to get this guy back,
but it will come down to how they shorten this rotation. Right,
Who's going to be losing minutes with him coming back?
That is that probably Brandon Garrison, even though he's given
(28:18):
you some hustle minutes in the last game. You know,
we saw Yellovich really not play when Modeabate came back
and was a force at the four. So Mope, I
think Pope has to continue to shorten that roster as
we saw them play so well in the second half
when we when they played the guys that were showing
that heart. So I don't know, man, this guy is.
We've heard a lot about him. He's expected top five
(28:39):
pick in the next NBA draft, so I've got really
pretty high expectations for what he can do with this team.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
He's a monster as far as the stature out there.
We'll see how he plays, but just you know, I
guess the probably the most anticipated guy that we've been
waiting to see all season long to finally get out there,
hopefully on Saturday. Now, the shooting has been a big
problem for this team. Mark Pope says that he's.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Not worried about it.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
I am. I mean, we're you know, we're not three
or four games into the season. We're now eleven games
in and we've seen some bad shooting. Even though they
beat Indiana, you know, they beat them with their defense,
and you know Saint John's last year, you always expect
Ripatino teams to be able to shoot the ball really well.
They weren't that good of a shooting team last year.
Saint John's, right, I haven't really watched any of their
(29:23):
games this year. I don't know if you have. But
if Saint John's, you know, has some good shooters, I
don't think Kentucky can get into a shootout with them,
not with the way that they've been playing so far.
But Mark Pope thinks that Papa is saying, basically, look,
these guys have been knocked down shooters in practice. At
some point that's going to translate into the game. I
would just say, why is it taking so long for
that to happen?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yeah, you know, I'm not sure this This is a
Saint John's team. I do know that has had point
guard struggles this year, so will they be able to
initiate offense? Kentucky's been having to play games in the sixties,
seventies and eighties, right, I mean after last year where
they had all these shooters in a lot if it
was like the rule of maybe ninety one instead of
seventy one there for a little bit, But.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
You know, this is this is there's gonna be a
lot of eyeballs on this.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I think.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
I mean a neutral site game. Rick Patino playing Kentucky again.
We've talked about maybe they've busted out the Denham jerseys
or maybe tease that a little bit even more college basketball.
The world is going to be watching this one, and
Kentucky has to continue to bolster their non conference resume
after the slow start. So I think there's a lot
of pressure on Kentucky to pull out this game, but
(30:30):
probably more so than Kentucky than on Saint John's.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
At this point.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean, this is a chance to
get a top twenty five win. The Indiana win was good.
You know, it's gonna be one that they'll be able
to put on the resume come March. But it wasn't
over a top twenty five team. You got Saint John's,
who I think is like twenty second or twenty third
ranked right now, So that's that's a chance to get
a good win, and you need this one coming up
on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
But like Jasper Johnson, I just don't know how many
more minutes he's going to be seeing.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah, moving forward right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I mean Cam Williams has really stepped up at the four.
But is somebody like Colin Chandler going to see his
minutes fall out? He didn't play well in the last
game and you saw him get phased out in the
second half. Trent Noah is somebody you probably do you
see him in the starting lineup again? Probably not?
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Probably not? Yeah, And Quainton is going to eat up
somebody's minutes when he gets completely healthy and back into
the rotation.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Malachi Moreno is somebody that was really strong early on,
but is he kind of phased out a little bit?
You know, these are all decisions that the coach making
million dollars are millions of dollars has to decide.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
So they have been really quiet about the dentim. So
if they bring here's why I think we need to
bring back the dentim and then bring back these Uh
well you're not bring them back, but I think they
should use the Denny's shoes. I wanted to talk about
what you talking to Denny. Okay, first of all, I'm
talking about Denny's restaurant. When was the last time you
thought about a Denny's. I'm not even asking when the
(31:51):
last time you ate it a Denny's is. When's the
last time you even thought about a Dinnis.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
It's a decade.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Maybe maybe a little less than that because I saw
a road sign, but like, uh, I've been more of it,
like an I hop waffle house kind of guy.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
When's the last time you went to Denny's.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
I couldn't even tell you. Like I said, the last time,
I didn't even know that Denny's were even still a thing,
didn't even know they were still open. Are they the
ones that do the Grand Slam breakfast? No? That is
waffle House, I believe. No, Oh that's the All Star Special. Yeah, no,
I think I think Denny's is the Grand Slam? Am
I right? I mean, yes, it is the Grand Slam. Anyway,
(32:26):
Denny's is making headlines because at noon today they're gonna
put out these They're calling them sticky kicks. But you
got to look them up. Okay, I'm looking at there
they're an ugly tennis shoe, and I guess if you're
a sneakerhead like our boy Matt Jones is, maybe he
wants some of these. But they're putting actual maple syrup
inside of the shoes, and they're selling these things for
(32:47):
like two hundred bucks. Do you have them? Who you're
looking at them?
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Yeah, I'm looking at them. Here.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Is there any scenario in which Billy r Sports would
want a pair of sticky kicks Denny's shoes with maple
syrup in them?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
No, I'm good, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
I am still wearing the same Hokahs for the last
three years that are dirty, but they are black and
they match with almost everything that I wear. So I'm
not the shoe guy. Matt definitely is. But to have
syrup inside the shoe, I just don't know if that
does anything for it.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
So they're high tops. They're like a mustard yellow with
red font that says Denny's on the side, and then
in the middle they've got maple syrup in there.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Yeah. Does it smell like maple syrup?
Speaker 1 (33:31):
I don't know. Because they say that might help. There
is a disclaimer that says don't drink the syrup. So
you know, if you're dumb enough to buy these shoes,
you're probably dumb enough to try to drink the syrup
out of the shoes. Under ninety five dollars two hundred
bucks for these shoes, is anybody buying those? Yo?
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:49):
I mean you've seen the money grabs people have had.
We talked about kiss air guitar strings yesterday, So I mean,
somebody's gonna buy Denny's shoes. There's a Denny super fan
out there that cannot wait to put these puppies on.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Do you think there's Denny superfans that exist?
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Oh? Yeah, yeah, there's somebody out there that goes every
day to Denny's or sits in a booth every weekend.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
But what do you think? National Syrup Day is December seventeenth, and.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
That's why they're then, that's why they're being released. So
I guess all.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Whole real drip fans.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
I'll hold out for the Chee Chee shoes that have
like fried ice cream.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Exactly the audience.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
There is a Denny super fan, just like Shannon the
Dude would would buy Chee Chee's slippers.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
There you go, if anybody boys them, I want to
see them eight five, nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven.
We're going to take a break. We'll be right back
for our final segment of the KSR pre Show. Up.
Next final segment of the KSR pre Show, Billy, will
you go see Journey? They're doing their farewell tour. They're
coming into Lexington next year. It's not even Steve Perry.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
No.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
I have seen them recently with their their new singer
who sounds really like Steve Perry. Actually, so I've been there,
done that, so I won't i won't be seeing it.
But do you have a fun place in your heart
for Journey?
Speaker 1 (35:01):
No, never really was a fan. I saw him one
time that I think they played, like at the Kentucky
State Fair. The guy is good, though, if you close
your eyes and don't look up there and see that
it's not Steve Perry and you would think that this guy.
And the crazy thing about that is they found this
guy from YouTube. He was like in Singapore and they
just went on YouTube and saw this video of this
guy singing I think, just Journey songs and they call
(35:24):
him up and like, hey man, you want to be
in the band. Next thing, you know, he's the singer
for Journey.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Looks nothing like his voice, which is which is pretty incredible.
How close it is to Steve Perry. Yeah, so when'd
you say that?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Was?
Speaker 3 (35:36):
That?
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Is March coping up in March at Roparino coming up? Yeah, yeah,
free tickets to WKQQ dot com. Get that promo in there.
All right, So coming up today on KSR, you got
Myron Metcalf. He's going to be joining us at ten o'clock.
You know our guy, Myron, he's a big waffle house guy,
saying if they ever did like some waffle House shoes,
I can see him buying those.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Yeah, those would have to be like steel toad shoes, right,
just in case you get in a fight and your
waffle House shoes will embody what you see at.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
The Restaurant's Adam Lucky coming up in the second hour
or two hereks are coming up next. Until then it's
the KSR pre Show. Have you seen what they're doing
with the the NBA All Star Game, Billy, I know
that nobody cares about the NBA All Star Games, so
they're trying to do anything they can to make people care.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
No, what are they doing?
Speaker 1 (36:22):
So they're gonna have like the American All Stars versus
the International All Stars, and they're gonna do like a
round robin of four twelve minute games. I don't know
what we're doing with the All Star I know the
All Star Game is ridiculous to begin with, but they're
taking it now and trying to do anything they can
to make this thing exciting for fans. Does that interest
(36:43):
you at all? For twelve four games twelve minutes long,
International All Stars versus Americans.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Well, let me try to buy into this, because the
first three quarters of the All Star Game is a joke, right,
It's just like, let's walk back and let's.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Do some alley oops.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
But the fourth quarter becomes a little interesting. The guys
tighten up a little bit, maybe a little bit of
defense is played. So maybe you just want to get
more games at the end of winning time, right, So
maybe you will have more end of game situations in this.
But I don't know, Shane, I don't know if we'll
ever get back to the importance of All Star games back.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
In the day.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
It's just it's just kind of it's become a glorified
pickup game line.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
I don't know that they ever really were important but
it's yeah, you're right. I mean it's become to the
point where it's two hundred to one hundred and ninety eight.
That's that's the All Star Game. Now, I do like,
you know, I didn't think I would ever like the
elam ending, but I think for things like this, I
kind of do like.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
That a forced buzzer beader.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Yeah, you know, like give me something to look forward to,
because I can't watch the NBA All Star Game. It's
just it's boring. Like I'll watch the dunk contest, you know,
three point shooting contest like that still does it for me.
But the All Star Game itself, you know, I guess
maybe I liked it more when I was a kid,
but like now I just can't watch it.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Let's keep trying, like, let's keep trying these new ideas.
One will eventually stick. Like you're throwing a Denny's flapjack
against the wall. Maybe maybe it will stick one of
these days. Shannon, I got something for you. This comes
from the NFL. Did you ever get nervous back in
the day before a big game as an athlete, like
butterflies jitterary?
Speaker 1 (38:17):
I'm sure, yeah, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
We had to like puke before the game.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Never puked before game, never, never went to that extreme.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Bill's quarterback Josh Allen pukes before every game. It's something
he did in high school, in college and it followed
him to the NFL. It's just nervous energy. And if
he doesn't puke before the game, he will puke during
the game, maybe at halftime.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
And he was puking on the sideline in the third
quarter of the Bill's latest win, and people were like,
what's going on, and Josh had to remind everybody he
does this before every single game.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Do you think that's a little bizarre.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
That is definite strange.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
But I'm an elite athlete like that.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
Yeah, to that point, you'd think you'd become a little
bit more comfortable.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
But so you know, like part of it too, is
the pregame mill that you have to have, right sure,
and you're just gonna eat that and just throw it
right back up.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
I think it's times that he eats pretty early on
so that he can puke and it's not his whole
I guess lunch coming up, but.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
I just feel like you would get comfortable eventually.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
That is weird. I've never heard that story, never heard
of anybody doing it after like before every game.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Yeah, and Josh and the press conference to do this every.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Game pregame ritual. Sorry, guys got to go throw up.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Oh, that's just Josh, that's quarter.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
I've heard that, like David Letterman did the same thing
before like every show. But I don't think that's true
that because I mean he's doing like five shows a
night or you know, like they're recording I guess what
two of these probably a night at least, so he's
doing three nights a week, two or three nights a week,
So it's one thing to do it. I guess maybe
once a week. But if you're doing it before every show.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
You think Bob Barker got nervous, right, Like Barker was
as cool as a cucumber.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
He didn't get nervous about anything.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
I got nervous before things when I I was in
high school, like or even like even beginning of college.
Maybe the first time I did the pre show, i'd
have a little stomach ache.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
But did you like you didn't. You're not puking though,
you're not going out?
Speaker 3 (40:09):
No, No, Like it's not like that. So I don't know,
maybe that's more of a more common thing that we think.
But you know, maybe you have a big speech and
somebody will puke and go to the bathroom. But this
is Josh Allen at the highest level of the sport.
What ye're seven or eight right now with his NFL career,
and he's still doing that.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
So if he doesn't get it out before the game,
you'll say, you're saying that.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
He will do it like its still do it?
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (40:31):
And then so this is it got brought up because
he was on the sideline in the third quarter puking.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Like yeah, yeah, I feel like once you're into the game,
like the nerves should be gone, right. I mean, part
of that is just being nervous before it starts. It's
like you may, like Tom Petty said, I make the
lining problem or the waiting is the hardest part, But
once you get into it, I wouldn't think you would
still be that nervous.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
It might be an acid reflex problem, Josh. We may
even go to a doctor or something. It may not
just be nervous energy.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
But anyway, that is strange. All right, Draft Kings Sports Book.
Let me tell you one more time. Promo code KSR.
You bet five dollars, you get two hundred dollars in
bonus bets if your bet hits, and you can do
live bet, same game parlays, player props, fast and easy payouts,
all on the Draft Kings sportsbook with promo code KSR.
All right, so that is gonna do it for the
(41:20):
KSR pre show. As I said, Myrin Metcalf coming up.
He's gonna be joining us at ten o'clock. Billy, have
you considered throughout the hour? Have I turned you at
all on maybe considering taking Billy Brewer as your last Oh?
Speaker 3 (41:31):
No, Billy Brewer, no hyphen. More power to our guy
Austin and a fun show. I appreciate him having joining us,
But no, what about you, dude?
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Have you doing any changes?
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Never gonna happen, Never gonna happen. Now you're out. By
the way, you got jury duty Thursday, right.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
Yeah, I got jury duty coming up, so we'll talk
more about that tomorrow. I think, all right, best to look,
gotta do my civic duties. That's right, all right, that's
gonna do it for the pre show. KSR is up
next for Billy Relige. I'm shaving them the dude, we'll
talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Thanks for listening.
