Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show.
Today is Wednesday, December seventeenth. I'm Billy Rutlige along with
Shannon the Dude. You can give us a call on
the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line. That's eight five nine
two eight oh two two eight seven, Texas at five
oh two two six five sixty six five six and
is always The KSR pre Show is brought to you
(00:22):
by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington, Kentucky at the
City Center on Main Street, where I am at today
and have a list of random topics to go through
this morning on a Wednesday. Shannon the Dude is in Louisville.
Good morning, Shannon. What's up are your good?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Random topic?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Day is maybe my favorite day, Like I never know
what you got over there, and I'm willing to just
dive into whatever topics you want to go into today.
I mean, there's not a whole lot really going on
in the world of sports, so of course we get
Kentucky and Saint John's on Saturday. We'll talk more about
that probably tomorrow and Friday, But today, what.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Do you want to talk about? That's right, it's a
blank piece of paper. We've got the full canvas in
front of us. And while Matt and Myron do a
pre show before their show on Sunday morning to talk
about what they're going to talk about, we simply don't
do that, Shannon. We just come in and we're just
gonna fly off the cuff here.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
We have never had like a pre show meeting ever
in the what fifteen years that I've been doing KSR
or this pre show you and I.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yeah, I was gonna say pre show, but you've never
even had one with KSR over the years. No, amazing.
We never know what we're gonna do on this show.
Kind of simply amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
We turn on the mics and we just start talking.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
And that's maybe one of our best qualities. I think
that's it's real, it's genuine, and it's whatever's happened to
us over the last couple of days. But speaking of
Matt and Myron, we may have to work on Myron's
catchphrages when it comes to the peanut butter and jelly
stuff he tried going on yesterday. Shadded, if yesterday's show
was an indication of anything, it's that we're gonna have
to tune in on December twenty third for that Western
(01:55):
Kentucky Bowl game.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I don't know what he was going for.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I don't know why peanut butter and jelly was Myron
Cavs catchphrase. It's not a good catchphrase. I tried to
tell him that. He said, is it good or you know,
he said is it bad? I said, well, it's not good.
That's what I told him. And somebody pointed out that
peanut butter doesn't really stick to jelly, it sticks to bread.
So we really got to work on his catchphrases. I
would say, maybe just don't even do a catchphrase. Yeah,
(02:19):
you know, sometimes if you try to force Then Matt
tried to come up with the idea of stealing everybody
else's catchphrases.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
You can't do that. That was worse than the PB
and J Like, you can't go man men. Yeah, when
you're calling a.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Football game, creative enough to come up with your own
bad catchphrase, you definitely can't steal somebody else's catchphrase.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
So I'm sure they'll think of a few of their own,
but maybe a couple KSR references. If they start taking calls,
it'll can be completely off the rails. Shannon I had
a catchphrase back when I was doing play by play.
Can I tell you, Oh, I would love to hear it.
What was What was Billy rd sports catchphrase? So it
was more of a sign off. It was what I
said at the very end of each broadcast, So you
go through the whole show signing off for the final time.
(03:01):
I'm Billy Rutledge. And remember, folks in life and in sports,
always play to win. Good night everyone, and we'll see
you next Friday. Always play to win. Always play to win. Baby. Wow,
Well you can be honest. Thumbs up, thumbs down, THEMB
in the middle thumbs down.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Oh well, you know, here's the thing, like in radio,
you're always supposed to have catchphrases, you know, or like
some sort of sign off or whatever. So I never
had anything for the longest time, and recently I started
doing at the end of double Q and QMF Oh
you got one?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
What do you got?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Very simple, The dude abides. Okay, that's my way out,
The dude abides. I'll say what I'm saying. Last thing
I say every night is the dude abides.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
And that's perfect.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
And of course I acknowledge I'm stealing that from The
Big Lebowski. But that's that's sort of become my stolen catchphrase.
The dude a bides you don't hear that anymore. Nobody
says that on the radio except for me.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Now, no, that's perfect with your persona and with it
already being a popular catch frase. It's not easy to
go out there and make your own. That's right. We're
not reinventing the wheel here on the pre show, all right,
So maybe i'll throw that in before we sign off
on the pre show today. Always play to win, folks,
But if you are playing to win, or if you
(04:17):
have any Bullet County hate today, don't call in because
we want you to say it. The Shannon the dude's face,
What is going on yesterday? Dude? I was I was
mad for you.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
There was only one guy, by the way, and I
don't know why Bullet County gets any hate. Bullet County
is God's country, Okay, well most of it. We don't
really include Shepherdsville, Mount Washington, Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Through you did throw Shepherdsville under the bus yet.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
No, that's shepherds Mount Washington is God's country, all right.
Shepherdsville is kind of like little brother Bullet Central, you know.
But yeah, I don't know what the hate was for.
There was a random call. It was unsolicited and unnecessary
for that caller to come in and slam Bullet County
for no reason.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
We weren't even talking about Bullet County.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
No, it was completely out of the blow.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
This guy waited on hold for forty five minutes to
say that about Bullet County.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And I won't take it.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I'm just telling you. You won't say that to my face.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
No, it's not going to get you to start screening calls.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
But no, don't trust me. That's way too much work.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
But you're right, I mean, people just don't do that
to your face. People would much rather do that behind
their keyboard or behind the phone. Maybe he was just
having a little fun with you, Shannon. But have you
ever had like a hostile phone call, like something like
escalate a little bit more than that? Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, I'm sure I have.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I can't. I'm sure there have been over the years,
but there's been shouting matches. I've heard back and forth,
but never like it never got contentious or anything like that.
You could feel it through the radio, right probably for
a good reason.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Well, That's why I always try to tell you, like,
you know, social media is not real life. So when
people get on the text line and they send something
to you that makes you feel uneasy or whatever, it
might be like, it's not real life.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
You know. Yeah. You When I first started, I was
going through like a bunch of haters at the time.
I was like, how do you deal with this, Shannon?
He goes and you're like, let me show you this,
And you showed me like a five page letter somebody
had typed out and sent to you, but how much
they hated you suse, I was like, oh, okay, so
everybody gets this. This is just it's one thing to
get hate mail through like Twitter or.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Your email or Facebook.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
It's another thing when they're sending you five page letters
to your home where you lay your head at night.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
And Terry Miners has had some great hate mail from
back in the day that he's shown me as well,
So I mean it's been going on for a while.
And whether you work at a TV station a radio station,
I mean, you're never gonna make everybody happy, So there
are going to be instances of that. Speaking of making
people happy, Shannon, yesterday was the fiance's nine year anniversary
(06:48):
at Mattress Firm. A great job there, give it up
to her. So we went to celebrate Shannon and the
best way that we know how, I took her to
Red Lobster last time. Well, the cheddar biscuits are good.
Biscuits are good. Did you get a Red Lobster or
what did you get? We got the the the boils
you know where it comes in a bag and glove.
(07:09):
They call that a low country shrimp boil. I think, oh,
you gotta treat yourself a little bit, gotta treat the
missus and you go get a seafood boil. Red Lobster
stepped up their game like they've gone through a complete
rebrand and really liking the vibes that they're bringing there.
But I'll be honest, I felt like the snow crab
won a little bit last night, Shannon. Like it is
a process to get the meat out of the snow
(07:31):
crab legs.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Like, look, man, like you're supposed to have already done
the work for me. If you're bringing work to my
plate and I'm breaking a sweat trying to get to
what I'm trying to eat it's a no.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Go for me.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Like I like crab, but I need the crab to
already be out of the shell, Like you know, I'm
paying you to not just bring me a crab.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I want the crab meat out.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
If I'm doing work, if I'm cracking like you know,
the crab legs and trying to get everything out of there,
then it's it's too much for me.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
They've got tools that they're bringing over to the table.
I mean, I've got this huge claw that I've spent
five minutes trying to get out of and I've broken
all the meat by the time that I've gotten to it.
So I'm like just eating little bits of.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Now now you got ShredIt crab meat, and it's not
good that way. Like, look, I'm not expecting the waiter
to cut my steak for me, but when it comes
to crab, that's why I hesitate to get it, because
it's just too much effort.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So I'm not alone, then it's not just me struggling
at the table to get the meat out. No, okay,
not at all.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
No, if I got to work for it, I don't
want it. Like if I you know, if that was
the case, I would just.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Go out and hunt, go find my own crab, exactly
kill it and then crack it. But it was good man.
I mean shrimp and lobster and the snow crab.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Do they still have the thing like in the lobster tank.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
There's still a tank.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Can you point to your lobster and go I want.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
We didn't do any point, and I didn't want to
get emotionally attached to anything that I was about to eat.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
That's Fred right there, and I'm about to eat you, Fred,
Fred the laster.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Do they still let you just point out the one
that you want?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I don't know, That's what I was asking you.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I don't know you want you went to red Lobster,
not me, and pit them all city man, they this
is awful. But they had like one of those you know,
the claw game where you can go down and like
try to get like a stuffed animal. They had that
for lobster. It's a claw game. So you put in
like your dollar and if you could catch the crowd
the lobster, you get it for free.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
You get it for free. That's a great deal.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yeah, so you could play, you know, pay a dollar
for a lobster.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I mean that that get me into the door trying
to get a dollar lobster.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah, I mean, if it's going to be hard, even
he paid twenty dollars trying to get the thing, I mean,
it's right.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I mean you're still saving money exactly. That's gotta be
like the hardest claw game that there is. I mean,
that thing's got to be rigged.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah, because the stuffed animals don't stuffed animals don't move.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
The lobster is fighting for his life trying to get
out of there, and they're just trying to pull them
down with a claw, and the lobster survival instinct kicks
and it's not just a beanie baby you're trying to
pick up all right. So but by the end of
the night, I was like, I don't even know if
I want a tip. I've worked so hard for this food. Yeah,
and then they, you know, the waitress comes over and
she tells us, you know, she had to pick up
this shift. She's an elementary school teacher, teach's fifth grade.
(10:06):
She laid on the guilt. So I tipped her like
forty percent of my myty percent. That's what you got
to do when you get the school teacher working two jobs.
Shan you know what I mean? Wow, Okay, I thought
I was a big tipper forty Oh. We were talking
about how bad of a tipper I was just yesterday.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Oh okay, So in your mind, you balanced out all
those eight percent tips that you've been given for the
last ten years by one forty percent tip.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
That's right, that's right. You got to give back out
the season of giving Shan. So did have a great
time last night. Uh but still I guess yesterday, still
trying to wrap my brain around that Kentucky's going to
have a twenty six year old offensive line coach. Twenty
six years old chance, Yeah, how can you be a
coach of anything at twenty six years old? That's still
(10:48):
a little young? Or I mean, or could anybody coach?
I mean, it's just about more of the person than
it is the age. Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Like when I was in high school, my baseball coach
I think was twenty three.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
But that was in high school.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
That was that wasn't one sec football we were talking about.
We were talking about bulletese high school. A little bit
of a difference there. So, yeah, to be twenty six
years old, like, you know, the first thing I would
immediately think is, well, okay, he's really young, but can
somebody twenty six keep our team disciplined? Then I think about, well,
we had Mark Stoops who was in his fifties, and
(11:19):
we had guys going to the concession stand game for
a hot dog. So it can't be any worse than that,
you know, So that kind of shoots down by he's
too young to be a coach and you know, can't
keep his team disciplined because what do we just have
with Mark Stoops a couple of seasons ago? So right,
you know, I think that you know, bringing in young
young blood is probably a good thing, new ideas, you know,
(11:40):
not doing things the old school way, which something which
can work. But sometimes, especially when you've had a guy
here as long as Mark Stoops was the head coach,
sometimes it's good to just do a hard reset on
the entire program.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
And I feel like that's what will Stein is doing.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And you know, a lot of this can be about recruiting, right,
this could be a guy that went comes to that
side of the ball or that side of this part
of football they're really good at. Eric Woolford was supposedly
really good at that, but his offensive lines were never
that great, yet he got picked up by I think
Lane Kiffin at LSU. Yeah, after the firings of Mark
Soups in the Kentucky Exodus. So that guy just still
(12:17):
falls backwards into jobs. It's unbelievable. Yeah, falling upstairs is
what I call it.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
You're not really great at what you do, but somehow
you end up getting going on to another job that's
even better than the previous one.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, and that's sports, right. Yeah. And then even the
opposite side of the coin, you could be making playoffs
and he's just you know, not good enough for some franchises.
So I did love, by the way, what will Stein said.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
He said something like, I would feel like a complete
fraud if I just left Oregon while they're in the playoffs.
And I feel like that too, Like I'm look, I
don't know that I'm actively rooting for him to win
because quicker Oregon loses the quicker he could, you know,
get onto his duties of being a head coach.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Here at Kentucky. But I love the fact that he stayed.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
He didn't just abandon his team when they're in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
We've seen that. No, Lane Kiffin. It happened with him.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
But I think that Lane Kiffin says that he wanted
to stay and remain the head coach for ole Miss
during the playoffs, but Old Miss didn't want any part
of that. So if that's the case, that's a completely
different story. You see some of these coaches just go Okay,
I got a new job, and they just abandoned the
current job that they have. I think it's big of
will Stein to stick around and coach at Oregon and
see it through to the end of the season.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I do too. I have the same exact sentiment. I'm
not rooting for him to win because I want him
to be around for these key dates that are coming
up for the transfer portal. But I think it shows
a lot about the guy that he would stay and
compete towards that goal. I do feel bad for Lane.
I don't know if I feel bad for him, but
oh god, I don't know. If he wanted to coach
for ole Miss and they didn't let him, then you know,
(13:47):
I could see how he would be torn there. But
that's a little different, right. That's a rival, Yeah, in
the same conference. I mean, there is a lot of
contention there, I'm sure, But.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
We take a job when you still got another job,
which you know will Stein did it, but Oregon wants
him to stay there, so it's a different situation.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
And that's a credit to what John Summerl's doing at
Tulane right now. He donated one hundred thousand dollars to
Tulane's NIL fund, and he's somebody that's wearing a green
jacket and a blue jacket right now trying to coach
Tulane in the playoffs and get Florida ready for the
transfer Portal. I don't think every person can do that
type of job, but it feels like he's doing it
the right way and probably gives credence to why he
(14:26):
was such a big candidate for a lot of teams.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
There's something about will Stein and I disagree with that.
I'm looking a little bit on this. He was on
yesterday in the second hour on KSR. I think that
if Oregon were to win and you had your head
coach will Stein, who just won a national championship at Oregon,
I can't help but think that's going to help your
recruiting when you could say our head coach just won
(14:49):
the national title, or if you know, next year, just
won the national title this season before that, I would
think they would pay the dividends for years to come.
Maybe I'm wrong about that, but I would think that
if I am a recruit and I know that I
could go play in the SEC and play for a
guy who has won a national title, and hopefully Kentucky
(15:09):
will be able to also have the nil money, which
we know is really the most important thing.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
But I mean, how can that hurt.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
To think that, you know, your head coach just won
a national title a year or two ago.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I mean, it wouldn't hurt. It's just I think the
NCAA has to move this calendar back. Oh I do.
That's the transfer portals opening when coaches are still trying
to coach other teams. Totally agree, Yep, it's not sustainable.
It has to change. And uh, you know, you got
to think these guys aren't getting a ton of sleep
that are doing both of these jobs. A five nine
two eight oh two two eight seven Texas at five
(15:39):
oh two two six five six six five six. Did
you pay over one thousand dollars for your dog? I
sure didn't. Got mine at the Humane Society for like
one hundred bucks. Came with all the shots on everything, Shannon,
I mean five thousand, ten thousand dollars for these Tibet
mastiffs that you looked up.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, yeah, I couldn't believe that somebody would pay that
much for a dog. And then let's say you pay
five thousand dollars for a dog it runs out into
traffic and gets run over.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
It goes your five grand right there. That dog better
be opening up the fridge able to grab a beer. Yeah,
head sideways to have a country boy. I'm going to
bring it back. We'll take a break and be right back.
You're on the KSR pre Show. Welcome Back Billy and
the Dude. Wednesday edition of the KSR pre Show. We'll
hand it off to Matt here at ten am. One
(16:29):
person on the text line said, so this is random.
Need to ask Shannon the dude. Are the songs on
Double Q sped up? Maybe it's my old ears, but
they seem just a little sped up, you know. I've
heard people say that before. I don't think that they are.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
To my knowledge, but I've heard other people say that too,
So I'm wondering, maybe if you're listening on the iHeartRadio
app or maybe on the regular radio, if if it
sounds different, I would be curious to see if it's
that person listening on the app or are they listening
on the radio.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Well, I'll text them and we'll find out. You know,
when I missed the first hour a CaSR yesterday in
very important meetings, Shannon, and when I went back to
go listen to it, I listen on speed Up. So
when I will put when I go to Spotify or Apple,
I will put it on one point eight or two
point h to listen to the podcast. Really I will.
I know some people do that, but it's it's fine
(17:23):
until you go back to the normal speed. So like
if we're talking slow, I guess slow mo. Like if
you put it on normal speed, you sound like you
were in slow motion. So maybe if I get a
little too like sped up during the pre show one
of these days, Shannon, just say, Billy, take a breath.
You've probably been listening on two point oh recently. I
wonder how many people listen on sped Up. I think
there's a lot of kids that watch YouTube videos like that. Yeah,
(17:45):
it's that short attention span.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Got to get it over as quickly as possible, you know,
Like I guess it is possible that those songs are
slightly sped up. I'm not doing that if it's the case,
but it would make sense because they're probably trying to
squeeze in as many songs in one hour as they
pop possibly can.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
So in theory, maybe they're doing it. They didn't tell
me though.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
If they're doing that, well, I got to think the
artists would have a problem with that, right, Like it
would change the music, it would change how it sounds.
But I mean, it's got to be just slightly to
where like a one point one holie, here's somebody who
has listened to these songs forever, which a lot of
classic rock songs are that because they've been out for
fifty years and people have been listening to them for.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
So long, and then if anything's different, they notice it.
So yeah, it is possible. But I'll I'll ask the uh,
the powers that be here if they're speeding up my music.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah, I get that in the mariachi music that comes
on on the AM stations. Fixed I've heard that, yeah
a lot. Shannon. The Knicks won their first championships since
nineteen seventy three last night, and as they beat the
Spurs to win the NBA Cup, each player is gonna
get a little over five hundred thousand dollars, so that's
a nice little payday. But middle of the season tournament
(18:54):
comes to an end last night with the Knicks, and
hopefully you wont a little money on DraftKings on that game.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Yes, And I wonder if you're a Knicks fan, are
you're really celebrating an NBA Cup.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I mean, it's not.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Really the title. I think you have to if it's
been your first and seventy three. There's just been some
people that have never experienced anyway.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I didn't read anything about anybody flipping over cars in
the streets of Manhattan after they won the Emirates NBA Cup.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Like you know, teams will do that when you win
the title, but it doesn't hit the same you NBA Cup. No,
not at all.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
But anyway, Draft Kings Sports but promo code KSR bet
five dollars, you bet hit, you're gonna ge two hundred
dollars in bonus bets. They have this early exit thing
that they've added on there, which I really like. If
you have a player prop you bet let's say Philip
Rivers to throw for you know, one hundred and fifty
yards and he ends up getting injured in the first half,
they will refund your money back.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
To you in the cash that you spent.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
So I think that's a really cool thing that they
added that people are loving because it's always a risk,
especially in the NFL. You bet on a player to
get X amount of yards or touchdowns or whatever it is,
and they get injured in the first half, you lose
your money.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
But not with DraftKings.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
With the money Back Guarantee promo code KSR, bet five
GE two hundred dollars in bonus bets. If you have
a gambling problem, call it one a too hundred gambler
eighteen plus Kentucky only.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
If we went through Shannon the Dude's cupboard, if we
went through his pantry, would we find I can a
can of Bush's baked beans.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I don't think so. Maybe I don't even know what's
in there. To be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I really don't don't know what's in there.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I don't really do any cooking at home, like there
could be stuff in there from years ago.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Well, thank god that can of green beans was sitting there,
so you can take it to the Thanksgiving Potlum.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
I wasn't gonna do anything with it, might as well
give it to the potluck. Like people are giving me
crap about the potluck again. When you walk into a
potluck and they've got two giant vats of green beans,
they clearly didn't need my green beans.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Right, so you were supposed to go to the store
and get something else.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Right, So well no, I mean I'm already at the potluck.
I can't leave the potluck to go get more food.
So you know, the effort was there. I brought the
green efforts out there. They didn't have green beans. I
totally would have emptied the can of green beans and
heated them up in the microwave and said, have had it.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
But there was more than enough green bean they had
left umber green beans.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, so it is what it is. Yeah it is.
But it's been like that every year. I think maybe
that's part of the sentiment here. I was just trying
to figure out that if you had a way to
get into the Louisville Toledo game coming up on December
twenty third. We have some bowl games tonight. Shannon Old
Dominion will take on USF and the Cure Bowl in Orlando,
(21:34):
and then we've got the matchup of Louisiana versus Delaware
in the sixty eight Ventures Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I mean, look, if you're a Louisville you thought that
you were gonna have a chance of the playoffs and
now you're playing in a bowl game where people can
literally get in with a can of bake beans.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
How in salted do you feel? I mean, you did
make a bowl game, but.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yeah, let's be careful. Can tell you didn't make a
bowl game, period, but it does hurt a little bit
when you had playoff aspirations and then baked beans gets
you into the games. It's smart on bushes too.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I mean they're making people go out and we're talking
about their well they're making people go out and buy
their product for two hundred two dollars and fifty cents.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
You times out by everybody there. Well Bush is making
more money. I mean Pop Tarts is doing good too
with their Pop Tart Bowl. Antics. We'll take a break,
maybe get to your phone. Calls next year on the
KSR pre Show. Welcome back Billy and the Dude. Here
on the KSR pre Show eight five nine two eight
oh two two eighty seven. If you'd like to join us,
we'll take some calls in this segment, Shannon, there was
(22:39):
a new study at the Ohio State University interviewing over
eight hundred American parents, and twenty seven percent of parents
thought it was very likely that their son or daughter
would become a college scholarship athlete. In fact, seventeen percent
of parents thought it was very likely that their child
would become a professional or Olympic athlete. Have you ever
(23:02):
heard of more delusion in your life? Seventeen percent of
parents think that their son or daughter is going to
become a professional athlete.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I mean, what's the reality of that? Like one percent?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
So here's some real stats. Seven percent of high school
athletes play in college, and the NCAA estimates that only
one point five percent of NCAA football players go on
to play in the NFL. Yeah, one point five percent
of college Then.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
How many of those become Olympians? Probably even less?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Even less? Yeah, but like I'm not too surprised by
that delusion. Because I feel like I'm going to have
the same type of opinion when I become a dad.
I mean, little Billy the fourth is going to be
making it in baseball, whether he likes it or not.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Shy, He'll be up there striking out every time, and
you'll be, oh.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
That it's my kid.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
He's going to be an Olympian.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
And I might be screaming at the ump a little bit. Yeah,
it might be screaming at other parents that are being
a little too loud on their sideline. I feel like
that's the Randy Marr that I need to become when
it comes to I guess youth athletes and their parents.
Drew Drew has already got a baby on the way.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I think Billy r Sports Billy Brewer is gonna be
the next one to have a baby. And yeah, maybe
and then uncle dude will be able to go to
those little league games.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
You'll do it with you. That's right. We got a
brown paper bag over there, Uncle dude.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
You got you know, a little shit of the dude's
brew Has that baked beans that you've brought as well?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
No, no, he doesn't have any baked beans, but of
course not right, No, but that's just it is a
little crazy that twenty seven percent of these parents think
that they could become a college scholarship athlete or their
kid would be I mean, I get like small colleges,
but like to make an SEC roster to play at
these bigger schools. It does take a lot, and that
is a type of delusion. I wish that I have one.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Well, I didn't say that they thought that their kid
would be like an All star or you know, all
American in the SEC.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
They just said, make it to college and play. No
scholarship athlete, right, so scholarship, I'm a scholarship athlete. I
didn't play D one in the set R is pretty
low then, I mean, if I was was that? Was
that at Lindsay Wilson, I mean Bellerman both? Okay?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, well good?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I mean it gives people and kids an opportunity to
go to school when you can save money. Like, was
you a scholarship athlete? I had some scholarships. I was
not an athlete though, red Tawel scholarship. I had keys money.
You didn't have to be any good at anything to
get keys money, Shannon, I guess your grades had to
be good, right.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah, just not be a complete failure. They'll get your
keys money.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
If you stay in state. Yeah, they'll, they'll they'll give
you some money. Let's take a phone call. Who's up first?
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
John? Hey? John?
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (25:44):

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Code connection you got going on there?
Speaker 5 (25:57):

Speaker 2 (25:57):
You have to try to call back.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah, that's yeah, sorry John out in the sticks. Maybe
with that connection. I don't know what that would be from.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I can't listen to that though. That's like his phone
line was farting. I can't deal with that.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Well, we'll get back to him. Eight five nined two
eighth two two eight seven uh In and Out Burger
opened its first location east of Texas over the weekend. Oh,
let's go. In fact, there's now three locations in Tennessee
and Shannon. I don't know if you saw the lines
at these in and out Burgers over the weekend, there's
like three hundred cars deep at one point for some
(26:33):
in and out.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Look like, I'm not willing to wait that long for
anything other than che cheese.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Che che yes, chee cheese.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
I will be the three hundredth car in line to
get fried ice cream and saw sudden fietas Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I love in and out burg. Have you ever had
it before? I've had it. Yeah. No, wait a minute,
are you the one that said that it's overrated. It's
a little overrated. I think you're wrong about that. Did
you get an animal style? I did? Yep, the fries
animal style with all the sauce on it. Yeah, I
mean I made the pilgrimage. Everybody's like, oh, it's only
on the West coast. It's better than anything you've ever had.
(27:07):
Waiting in a long line. Thought it was just fine.
I didn't think it was life changing or anything.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
So they have one, you said, and three in Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Is in Tennessee, one in Nashville because I saw that
they were going to open one in Nashville at some point.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yeah, yes, well, I mean it fits surrounding area.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
If it's down close to yeah, I'll say, if it's
anywhere close to Broadway, forget about it.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
It would take hours to get that.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
And I don't know that I'm waiting in that line,
but I do love it. An out burger, but it's good.
At some point though, the newness of it will wear off, right.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Or just like chee Cheese. No, and then it'll just
become another Mexican restaurant. Chee Cheese is my long lost love.
Twenty years later, I still love it. They're like, you know,
it went away for a reason. We'll let the nostalgia
way off in two years and it's if it was appatitis,
walk it off, bubb alttle dirt on it. It'll be okay. Yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
I mean, I mean, what was the other place that
had happatitis? They didn't shut down.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
You're gonna have to be way more specific.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I don't want to say businesses names on the air,
but you're.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Very good at this. Every time I throw somebody under
the bus, you go, there's there goes your endorsement deal
with or something like that. Yeah, you know what I'm
talking about. A place that serves burritos that had heppatitis.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Oh yeah, yes, okay, and they're still working. They're still operating,
fully functional, So there you go.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Chee Cheese should have survived that. Well, they're back, so
then maybe they have. I got one more food story
for you. We'll get back to the phones here. The
new Avatar sequel is hitting theaters tomorrow and you can
buy a collectible popcorn cup for eighty dollars. Shannon, they
have a bandsheet, dragon flying monster esque thing that sits
(28:46):
with its popcorn cup. Eighty dollars for your signature popcorn cup.
Maybe are you gonna you're gonna splurge? No?
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Absolutely not sounds why would I want that to begin with?
It just holds about popcorn.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
I don't know what I saw. Eighty dollar. They called
it the most expensive movie popcorn bucket of all time.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
I guess you're buying that for your kids. And then
like just lonely single man who go to the movies
by themselves, let's think about it.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
If it works, it probably would buy that for eighty
dollars because they say you bring your kid to the movie.
Maybe they bring a friend or two. Right, so you're
already out what I mean, I'm not out sixty bucks
in tickets? Yeah? Maybe, And then you go up to
concessions like you know what we do? You get an
icy but little Billy wants a popcorn bucket.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Well, little Billy needs to understand you don't always get
what you want in life. Mick Jagger said it best.
You can't always get what you, here's.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
A dragon on the pop I don't care it's a
Christmas can.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Please, No, you will eat it out of a regular
popcorn ten eighty dollars dollars for that?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Come on, isn't that crazy? I mean, we're trying to
save the movies. How are we gonna save save the
movies with eighty dollars popcorn tins? And that probably just
goes to the movie or not the movie theater. I'm
sure some of it does, but probably to the actual
people that made the movie. But anyway, when's the last
time you went to a movie?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
I don't even drive in movie was last I guess September?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Yeah, but that's still like, that's like coming back a
little nostalgia. I mean the movies. I mean, now they
got bars and they're trying to put pickleball courts in
movie theaters. They're trying to bring everybody back. But I
just don't know if it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
So, yeah, well count me out with the dragon popcorn tin.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I'm I'm not getting it, Okay, I'll have to see
what kind of mood I'm in when I go to
the next movies next. Maybe I'll get the ten who's
up next? Let's go to Jake.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Hey, Drake, Hey, Jake, Hey, how are you guys doing

Speaker 1 (31:08):
It does?
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Does?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
It's good though?
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I like it. I mean that wouldn't be my first choice.
But you'll be all right, Jake, A big night.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Jake, Thank you, sir?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
All right, Jake, go.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
They just wanted to wish me happy birthday and tell
us that he's eating frog legs.
Speaker 4 (31:25):

Well, if it's too hard to crack crab legs, maybe
just go get some frog legs for you.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, it's much easier. I can involve the air exactly.

Maybe he hit the mute button. I don't know. I
don't hear you. It's it's one of those mornings, shann
You ever had just one of those mornings? I'm sure
you have. We've had technical difficulties here on the show before.

Hey listen, uh morning guys. Two things. Number one, Yeah,
Louisville's got the Baked Beans Bowl, but they're playing a
team that we beat twenty four to sixteen and they
beat us forty one to nothing. I mean, what kind
of bowl game is that expected to be? Also, Shannon,
(32:40):
you're a big fan of Chea Cheese. I was too.
I met one of the boarder directors of Chee Cheese,
who was Max Magee. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
If you remember, he's the one that kind of stood
che Cheese well.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
And he was the board of directors of a company
that I've worked four for fifteen years. And I met
Max Man. Him and Paul Horning together is like you
know Abbott and Costella. They were They were such a
fun couple. Listen, you all have a great day.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Thanks for the call. I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Don Do you know who Paul Horning even is?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Billy, of course, yeah, I know my Paul Horning. I
didn't know the other guy who started Chee Cheese.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Another Green Bay packer at All Ties Together Packers fan.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Well, no, wonder you love so much. I mean it's
even got that lineage and Paul Horning. I actually used
to do his TV show. He would tape it every
week at Chee Cheese. Oh you do it at the
one in Louisville. Yep, right there at Best for Men
or Mall. Well, I mean, if the chips are hitting
and the sauce is good, why would you leave right exactly?
(33:47):
Just come and do the whole show there.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Yeah. Hey, if we're up to meet, we'd be doing
this show.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
There is that right maybe remote to chie Cheese one.
Of these days, one more thing and then we'll take
a break. Here. Howard Stern just signed on for three
more years. Serious you saw that? Yeah, fake news. I
guess a year or so ago, and it looks like
he was on his way out of sirious And now
three more years. Howard Stern is seventy one years old.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
The guy is going to die on the radio, like
he's going He's like, you know some of these bands
that just keep touring into their nineties, like Howard Stern
doesn't want to give it up.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
And by the way, why would he.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
The dude works like you want to talk about somebody
with vacation time, like, oh.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Yeah, is this year?
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Hero aspire to be Howard Stern and have his vacation
schedule because the guy is off the entire summer and
I think he only works like fifty days a year
because on the weeks that he does work, he works Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and that's it.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
He's off Thursday and Friday every single week.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
So every week.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
So yeah, so at worst for him, he has to
come to work three days a week and most of
the time he's off.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Well that is a made man right there.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
So I needed that schedule.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
You want to talk about my vacation, which, by the way,
I'm off for the last two weeks. So yeah, yeah,
I got today, Tomorrow, and Friday, and I won't talk
to you until twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna be taking some time off too
at the end of the year, so we will have
some best stubs playing. You know, I will be out
tomorrow because I will be at jury duty, so Shannon
will be holding it down. Nice.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Nice, I think we get Mario coming on tomorrow and
best of luck at jury duty. Can you report in
and let us know what's going on at the jury.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Well, not live on the air, because I think it
like it starts like right at like during the middle
of the show, so like I don't know if I
can't even bring my phone in from what I remember
last time, so you probably can't even talk about it either.
That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Like Friday, when you come in, you probably.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Yeah, I'm not going to reveal a ton of details either,
but you're well, let's hope you don't get on a case.
You get just what I did last time. I'm like
prime like for the jury like that. I'm like, you
have experience yeah, I got the face. Oh we're picking
this guy too. Did you nail the guy? Yeah? We
put somebody away.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Oh my gosh years what Yeah, dude, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Talk about like some contentious arguments when it comes to
the deliberate stuff. I mean, I'm a veteran at this.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
He might be on somebody's hit list. Putting somebody away
for twenty years?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Well, yeah, like you make eye contact with the people
and yeah, and then they release us for lunch and
look there he is.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Were you with the one like advocating for maybe his
innocence or are you like, no, throw the book to him.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
I'm going to plead the fifth on this one. Like
this is I don't know how much I can reveal,
but we.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Don't even know what you're talking about. We're talking in
generalities here. We didn't say anybody's name. We didn't even
say what he did allegedly.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Allegedly, yes, allegedly, I don't know, but well, I'll go
through that experience tomorrow and do my civic Dude, he
just like Mark Pope, who apparently can't even yell at practice.
Right now, I don't believe.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
That by the way that he said that he can't
yell because he might lose his voice forever.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
What do you mean you don't believe it.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
I don't believe that, he said, Well, Matt said that.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
He said.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
I didn't hear him say that. Matt said that.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
He said that if he continues to yell, that he
could possibly lose his voice forever. Does that mean like
damage your vocal cords? You couldn't scream forever? Ever? Forever? Ever?
You ever lose your voice and like not be able
(37:09):
to do the show one of these days.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Oh yeah, remember when Venetti Karate chopped my throat and a.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Yeah, I do remember to talk. I was like, right
at the beginning of my tenure, I still can't sing
falsetto because of that? Is that right? Abg? Being held
back's speed O night? It really is?
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Yeah, dirty cheater, I'm gonna go up from behind and
just put a sleeper hold on him in the pall way,
just to get him back. He may not be able
to recover from that, so careful pull his hair plugs out.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
All right, We'll take a break. We'll be right back
here on the ks appre Show. Welcome back Shannon the
Dude and Billy Rutledge not Billy Brewer, despite all of
you to keep calling me that on the text line,
I would do two six five six. That is not sticking.
We're not gonna let that happen. But do appreciate our
guy Austin for jumping on the show. And you know
(37:58):
he does produce for Shannon every now and then, so
hopefully we'll have more of him in twenty twenty six. Shannon,
you have any New Year's resolutions anything like that, anything
you're gonna change in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
Nope, I'm gonna completely stay the way that I am.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
I'm going to be that's the way to do.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
That's right, Yeah, that's right. Nobody wants me to change.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
No progressing or evolution. It's this same old, same o mode.
I am. Who I am even working like a couple
push ups every morning or something, Dude, I mean, I'm
just friend a friend here trying to help you out.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Okay, maybe you should come work out with me because
we've been talking about this for a year and you
still have yet to uh to come over and you know.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Work out with me. We could do it now. I
would love to. I actually just got back in the gym.
I've had a you know, I had my month November
where I've worked every day and so finally getting back
into the gym a little bit, so enjoying it. So yeah,
I'd love to do something like that.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
But I don't do New Year's resolutions because I know
I'm not going to keep them. But like I started
doing like the workout thing in January, it wasn't a
New Year's resolution. I just started doing it and didn't stop.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Well, if you have a new Year's resolution out there,
here's my piece of advice for you. Start today. You
don't have to wait till January first, shann.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
But you need the two week buffer you need to.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
You know, no, no, no, no no no. You can all the.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Pumpkin pis and like whatever you eat at Christmas before
he's two to three weeks ahead.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
No, you could be two weeks ahead of your counterparts
on their New Year's resolutions. If you start today, Shannon,
don't make it so tough. Don't wait till the buzzer
goes off for you to start. Get up a little
bit earlier. Maybe start doing it now. Let's take a
phone call before we got to leave here. Hopefully the phones.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Work all right, Let's let's add Hey John short, John,
Oh stop.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
John, I'm right here.
Speaker 5 (39:33):
I know you can give me. Fine, we got you,
I got you. Just sure, I ready for begging. Tomorrow night.
We're gonna be with to morrow games. Nothing in volleyball.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Well, it would only get to three if they sweep John,
but they've been sweeping a lot of people in the
tournament this year, so hopefully they can do it.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
Yes, it's gonna be on radio to you and those
on ESPN, it's gonna be on the l E P.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
I don't think they have sent a radio person for
this game, so we'll have to watch it on TV together.
Speaker 5 (40:03):
John, Okay, Donkiers because they don't really call the play
by play as well like we do over here on radio.
I know they don't on TV.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
Yeah, I think is it Dick Gabrielle that's been doing
these games. I'm not exactly sure, But we have a
game tomorrow night, John, and hopefully the Cats need a win,
go to the National Championship game. Anything else for us.
Speaker 5 (40:24):
Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna be Saint John's. Tim Biggins
is sary in basketball. We're gon we're gonna win Friday night.
Willis Basketball by fifty Biggins Friday night. We haven't talked
about the women's basketball.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Yeah, Billy and talked about the women's basketball.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Thanks for calle, John. We appreciate it. Thank you John.
All of the women are doing good too. They had
a big win over the weekend on the road. My
question is, do you do we see Jade Quainton's on
Saturday versus saying.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
Well, if you believe that anonymous texture to Matt a
couple of days ago, ten to twelve minutes, ten to twelve,
JQ Tom, let's go if.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
It's ten to twelve. I mean that guy is a
made man. He's like Howard Stern. You could just start
taking vacation or at least call back for a victory lap.
I'm sure we'll get that. Or you can bet on
maybe you can bet on DraftKings that Jaq will come
back Shan. Can you do that?
Speaker 3 (41:07):
I don't think that you can. But you can bet
just about everything else on there. So we've sign up
with promo code KSR. You bet five dollars, is a
new customer your bet hit, you get two hundred dollars
in bonus bets. As I mentioned earlier, if you do
a player prop and the player goes down with an
injury in the first half, you're going to get your
money back on DraftKings with promo code KSR.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
The Crown is yours. I did feel for Jalen Low
where he said a quote where it was something to
the effect of it can't rain forever, Shannon. They spent
some dark days, but it can't rain forever. We just
got to keep fighting, yep.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
And they finally got maybe the when that they need
it to build some confidence and start beating some top
twenty five team as you get a big opportunity on
Saturday with Saint John's I know Rick Patino said he's
going to try to speed up Kentucky. I wonder if
that's going to play into their favor or not.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
It'll be interesting to see heart to happen shots regardless.
For Shannon the Dude, I'm Billy Rutlich. This has been
the KSR pre show. KSR coming up next. We will
talk to you tomorrow
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show.
Today is Wednesday, December seventeenth. I'm Billy Rutlige along with
Shannon the Dude. You can give us a call on
the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line. That's eight five nine
two eight oh two two eight seven, Texas at five
oh two two six five sixty six five six and
is always The KSR pre Show is brought to you
(00:22):
by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington, Kentucky at the
City Center on Main Street, where I am at today
and have a list of random topics to go through
this morning on a Wednesday. Shannon the Dude is in Louisville.
Good morning, Shannon. What's up are your good?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Random topic?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Day is maybe my favorite day, Like I never know
what you got over there, and I'm willing to just
dive into whatever topics you want to go into today.
I mean, there's not a whole lot really going on
in the world of sports, so of course we get
Kentucky and Saint John's on Saturday. We'll talk more about
that probably tomorrow and Friday, But today, what.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Do you want to talk about? That's right, it's a
blank piece of paper. We've got the full canvas in
front of us. And while Matt and Myron do a
pre show before their show on Sunday morning to talk
about what they're going to talk about, we simply don't
do that, Shannon. We just come in and we're just
gonna fly off the cuff here.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
We have never had like a pre show meeting ever
in the what fifteen years that I've been doing KSR
or this pre show you and I.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yeah, I was gonna say pre show, but you've never
even had one with KSR over the years. No, amazing.
We never know what we're gonna do on this show.
Kind of simply amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
We turn on the mics and we just start talking.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
And that's maybe one of our best qualities. I think
that's it's real, it's genuine, and it's whatever's happened to
us over the last couple of days. But speaking of
Matt and Myron, we may have to work on Myron's
catchphrages when it comes to the peanut butter and jelly
stuff he tried going on yesterday. Shadded, if yesterday's show
was an indication of anything, it's that we're gonna have
to tune in on December twenty third for that Western
(01:55):
Kentucky Bowl game.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I don't know what he was going for.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I don't know why peanut butter and jelly was Myron
Cavs catchphrase. It's not a good catchphrase. I tried to
tell him that. He said, is it good or you know,
he said is it bad? I said, well, it's not good.
That's what I told him. And somebody pointed out that
peanut butter doesn't really stick to jelly, it sticks to bread.
So we really got to work on his catchphrases. I
would say, maybe just don't even do a catchphrase. Yeah,
(02:19):
you know, sometimes if you try to force Then Matt
tried to come up with the idea of stealing everybody
else's catchphrases.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
You can't do that. That was worse than the PB
and J Like, you can't go man men. Yeah, when
you're calling a.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Football game, creative enough to come up with your own
bad catchphrase, you definitely can't steal somebody else's catchphrase.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
So I'm sure they'll think of a few of their own,
but maybe a couple KSR references. If they start taking calls,
it'll can be completely off the rails. Shannon I had
a catchphrase back when I was doing play by play.
Can I tell you, Oh, I would love to hear it.
What was What was Billy rd sports catchphrase? So it
was more of a sign off. It was what I
said at the very end of each broadcast, So you
go through the whole show signing off for the final time.
(03:01):
I'm Billy Rutledge. And remember, folks in life and in sports,
always play to win. Good night everyone, and we'll see
you next Friday. Always play to win. Always play to win. Baby. Wow,
Well you can be honest. Thumbs up, thumbs down, THEMB
in the middle thumbs down.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Oh well, you know, here's the thing, like in radio,
you're always supposed to have catchphrases, you know, or like
some sort of sign off or whatever. So I never
had anything for the longest time, and recently I started
doing at the end of double Q and QMF Oh
you got one?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
What do you got?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Very simple, The dude abides. Okay, that's my way out,
The dude abides. I'll say what I'm saying. Last thing
I say every night is the dude abides.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
And that's perfect.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
And of course I acknowledge I'm stealing that from The
Big Lebowski. But that's that's sort of become my stolen catchphrase.
The dude a bides you don't hear that anymore. Nobody
says that on the radio except for me.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Now, no, that's perfect with your persona and with it
already being a popular catch frase. It's not easy to
go out there and make your own. That's right. We're
not reinventing the wheel here on the pre show, all right,
So maybe i'll throw that in before we sign off
on the pre show today. Always play to win, folks,
But if you are playing to win, or if you
(04:17):
have any Bullet County hate today, don't call in because
we want you to say it. The Shannon the dude's face,
What is going on yesterday? Dude? I was I was
mad for you.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
There was only one guy, by the way, and I
don't know why Bullet County gets any hate. Bullet County
is God's country, Okay, well most of it. We don't
really include Shepherdsville, Mount Washington, Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Through you did throw Shepherdsville under the bus yet.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
No, that's shepherds Mount Washington is God's country, all right.
Shepherdsville is kind of like little brother Bullet Central, you know.
But yeah, I don't know what the hate was for.
There was a random call. It was unsolicited and unnecessary
for that caller to come in and slam Bullet County
for no reason.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
We weren't even talking about Bullet County.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
No, it was completely out of the blow.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
This guy waited on hold for forty five minutes to
say that about Bullet County.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And I won't take it.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I'm just telling you. You won't say that to my face.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
No, it's not going to get you to start screening calls.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
But no, don't trust me. That's way too much work.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
But you're right, I mean, people just don't do that
to your face. People would much rather do that behind
their keyboard or behind the phone. Maybe he was just
having a little fun with you, Shannon. But have you
ever had like a hostile phone call, like something like
escalate a little bit more than that? Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, I'm sure I have.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I can't. I'm sure there have been over the years,
but there's been shouting matches. I've heard back and forth,
but never like it never got contentious or anything like that.
You could feel it through the radio, right probably for
a good reason.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Well, That's why I always try to tell you, like,
you know, social media is not real life. So when
people get on the text line and they send something
to you that makes you feel uneasy or whatever, it
might be like, it's not real life.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
You know. Yeah. You When I first started, I was
going through like a bunch of haters at the time.
I was like, how do you deal with this, Shannon?
He goes and you're like, let me show you this,
And you showed me like a five page letter somebody
had typed out and sent to you, but how much
they hated you suse, I was like, oh, okay, so
everybody gets this. This is just it's one thing to
get hate mail through like Twitter or.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Your email or Facebook.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
It's another thing when they're sending you five page letters
to your home where you lay your head at night.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
And Terry Miners has had some great hate mail from
back in the day that he's shown me as well,
So I mean it's been going on for a while.
And whether you work at a TV station a radio station,
I mean, you're never gonna make everybody happy, So there
are going to be instances of that. Speaking of making
people happy, Shannon, yesterday was the fiance's nine year anniversary
(06:48):
at Mattress Firm. A great job there, give it up
to her. So we went to celebrate Shannon and the
best way that we know how, I took her to
Red Lobster last time. Well, the cheddar biscuits are good.
Biscuits are good. Did you get a Red Lobster or
what did you get? We got the the the boils
you know where it comes in a bag and glove.
(07:09):
They call that a low country shrimp boil. I think, oh,
you gotta treat yourself a little bit, gotta treat the
missus and you go get a seafood boil. Red Lobster
stepped up their game like they've gone through a complete
rebrand and really liking the vibes that they're bringing there.
But I'll be honest, I felt like the snow crab
won a little bit last night, Shannon. Like it is
a process to get the meat out of the snow
(07:31):
crab legs.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Like, look, man, like you're supposed to have already done
the work for me. If you're bringing work to my
plate and I'm breaking a sweat trying to get to
what I'm trying to eat it's a no.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Go for me.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Like I like crab, but I need the crab to
already be out of the shell, Like you know, I'm
paying you to not just bring me a crab.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I want the crab meat out.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
If I'm doing work, if I'm cracking like you know,
the crab legs and trying to get everything out of there,
then it's it's too much for me.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
They've got tools that they're bringing over to the table.
I mean, I've got this huge claw that I've spent
five minutes trying to get out of and I've broken
all the meat by the time that I've gotten to it.
So I'm like just eating little bits of.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Now now you got ShredIt crab meat, and it's not
good that way. Like, look, I'm not expecting the waiter
to cut my steak for me, but when it comes
to crab, that's why I hesitate to get it, because
it's just too much effort.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So I'm not alone, then it's not just me struggling
at the table to get the meat out. No, okay,
not at all.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
No, if I got to work for it, I don't
want it. Like if I you know, if that was
the case, I would just.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Go out and hunt, go find my own crab, exactly
kill it and then crack it. But it was good man.
I mean shrimp and lobster and the snow crab.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Do they still have the thing like in the lobster tank.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
There's still a tank.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Can you point to your lobster and go I want.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
We didn't do any point, and I didn't want to
get emotionally attached to anything that I was about to eat.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
That's Fred right there, and I'm about to eat you, Fred,
Fred the laster.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Do they still let you just point out the one
that you want?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I don't know, That's what I was asking you.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I don't know you want you went to red Lobster,
not me, and pit them all city man, they this
is awful. But they had like one of those you know,
the claw game where you can go down and like
try to get like a stuffed animal. They had that
for lobster. It's a claw game. So you put in
like your dollar and if you could catch the crowd
the lobster, you get it for free.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
You get it for free. That's a great deal.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yeah, so you could play, you know, pay a dollar
for a lobster.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I mean that that get me into the door trying
to get a dollar lobster.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah, I mean, if it's going to be hard, even
he paid twenty dollars trying to get the thing, I mean,
it's right.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I mean you're still saving money exactly. That's gotta be
like the hardest claw game that there is. I mean,
that thing's got to be rigged.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah, because the stuffed animals don't stuffed animals don't move.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
The lobster is fighting for his life trying to get
out of there, and they're just trying to pull them
down with a claw, and the lobster survival instinct kicks
and it's not just a beanie baby you're trying to
pick up all right. So but by the end of
the night, I was like, I don't even know if
I want a tip. I've worked so hard for this food. Yeah,
and then they, you know, the waitress comes over and
she tells us, you know, she had to pick up
this shift. She's an elementary school teacher, teach's fifth grade.
(10:06):
She laid on the guilt. So I tipped her like
forty percent of my myty percent. That's what you got
to do when you get the school teacher working two jobs.
Shan you know what I mean? Wow, Okay, I thought
I was a big tipper forty Oh. We were talking
about how bad of a tipper I was just yesterday.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Oh okay, So in your mind, you balanced out all
those eight percent tips that you've been given for the
last ten years by one forty percent tip.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
That's right, that's right. You got to give back out
the season of giving Shan. So did have a great
time last night. Uh but still I guess yesterday, still
trying to wrap my brain around that Kentucky's going to
have a twenty six year old offensive line coach. Twenty
six years old chance, Yeah, how can you be a
coach of anything at twenty six years old? That's still
(10:48):
a little young? Or I mean, or could anybody coach?
I mean, it's just about more of the person than
it is the age. Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Like when I was in high school, my baseball coach
I think was twenty three.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
But that was in high school.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
That was that wasn't one sec football we were talking about.
We were talking about bulletese high school. A little bit
of a difference there. So, yeah, to be twenty six
years old, like, you know, the first thing I would
immediately think is, well, okay, he's really young, but can
somebody twenty six keep our team disciplined? Then I think about, well,
we had Mark Stoops who was in his fifties, and
(11:19):
we had guys going to the concession stand game for
a hot dog. So it can't be any worse than that,
you know, So that kind of shoots down by he's
too young to be a coach and you know, can't
keep his team disciplined because what do we just have
with Mark Stoops a couple of seasons ago? So right,
you know, I think that you know, bringing in young
young blood is probably a good thing, new ideas, you know,
(11:40):
not doing things the old school way, which something which
can work. But sometimes, especially when you've had a guy
here as long as Mark Stoops was the head coach,
sometimes it's good to just do a hard reset on
the entire program.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
And I feel like that's what will Stein is doing.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And you know, a lot of this can be about recruiting, right,
this could be a guy that went comes to that
side of the ball or that side of this part
of football they're really good at. Eric Woolford was supposedly
really good at that, but his offensive lines were never
that great, yet he got picked up by I think
Lane Kiffin at LSU. Yeah, after the firings of Mark
Soups in the Kentucky Exodus. So that guy just still
(12:17):
falls backwards into jobs. It's unbelievable. Yeah, falling upstairs is
what I call it.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
You're not really great at what you do, but somehow
you end up getting going on to another job that's
even better than the previous one.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, and that's sports, right. Yeah. And then even the
opposite side of the coin, you could be making playoffs
and he's just you know, not good enough for some franchises.
So I did love, by the way, what will Stein said.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
He said something like, I would feel like a complete
fraud if I just left Oregon while they're in the playoffs.
And I feel like that too, Like I'm look, I
don't know that I'm actively rooting for him to win
because quicker Oregon loses the quicker he could, you know,
get onto his duties of being a head coach.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Here at Kentucky. But I love the fact that he stayed.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
He didn't just abandon his team when they're in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
We've seen that. No, Lane Kiffin. It happened with him.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
But I think that Lane Kiffin says that he wanted
to stay and remain the head coach for ole Miss
during the playoffs, but Old Miss didn't want any part
of that. So if that's the case, that's a completely
different story. You see some of these coaches just go Okay,
I got a new job, and they just abandoned the
current job that they have. I think it's big of
will Stein to stick around and coach at Oregon and
see it through to the end of the season.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I do too. I have the same exact sentiment. I'm
not rooting for him to win because I want him
to be around for these key dates that are coming
up for the transfer portal. But I think it shows
a lot about the guy that he would stay and
compete towards that goal. I do feel bad for Lane.
I don't know if I feel bad for him, but
oh god, I don't know. If he wanted to coach
for ole Miss and they didn't let him, then you know,
(13:47):
I could see how he would be torn there. But
that's a little different, right. That's a rival, Yeah, in
the same conference. I mean, there is a lot of
contention there, I'm sure, But.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
We take a job when you still got another job,
which you know will Stein did it, but Oregon wants
him to stay there, so it's a different situation.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
And that's a credit to what John Summerl's doing at
Tulane right now. He donated one hundred thousand dollars to
Tulane's NIL fund, and he's somebody that's wearing a green
jacket and a blue jacket right now trying to coach
Tulane in the playoffs and get Florida ready for the
transfer Portal. I don't think every person can do that
type of job, but it feels like he's doing it
the right way and probably gives credence to why he
(14:26):
was such a big candidate for a lot of teams.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
There's something about will Stein and I disagree with that.
I'm looking a little bit on this. He was on
yesterday in the second hour on KSR. I think that
if Oregon were to win and you had your head
coach will Stein, who just won a national championship at Oregon,
I can't help but think that's going to help your
recruiting when you could say our head coach just won
(14:49):
the national title, or if you know, next year, just
won the national title this season before that, I would
think they would pay the dividends for years to come.
Maybe I'm wrong about that, but I would think that
if I am a recruit and I know that I
could go play in the SEC and play for a
guy who has won a national title, and hopefully Kentucky
(15:09):
will be able to also have the nil money, which
we know is really the most important thing.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
But I mean, how can that hurt.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
To think that, you know, your head coach just won
a national title a year or two ago.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I mean, it wouldn't hurt. It's just I think the
NCAA has to move this calendar back. Oh I do.
That's the transfer portals opening when coaches are still trying
to coach other teams. Totally agree, Yep, it's not sustainable.
It has to change. And uh, you know, you got
to think these guys aren't getting a ton of sleep
that are doing both of these jobs. A five nine
two eight oh two two eight seven Texas at five
(15:39):
oh two two six five six six five six. Did
you pay over one thousand dollars for your dog? I
sure didn't. Got mine at the Humane Society for like
one hundred bucks. Came with all the shots on everything, Shannon,
I mean five thousand, ten thousand dollars for these Tibet
mastiffs that you looked up.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, yeah, I couldn't believe that somebody would pay that
much for a dog. And then let's say you pay
five thousand dollars for a dog it runs out into
traffic and gets run over.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
It goes your five grand right there. That dog better
be opening up the fridge able to grab a beer. Yeah,
head sideways to have a country boy. I'm going to
bring it back. We'll take a break and be right back.
You're on the KSR pre Show. Welcome Back Billy and
the Dude. Wednesday edition of the KSR pre Show. We'll
hand it off to Matt here at ten am. One
(16:29):
person on the text line said, so this is random.
Need to ask Shannon the dude. Are the songs on
Double Q sped up? Maybe it's my old ears, but
they seem just a little sped up, you know. I've
heard people say that before. I don't think that they are.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
To my knowledge, but I've heard other people say that too,
So I'm wondering, maybe if you're listening on the iHeartRadio
app or maybe on the regular radio, if if it
sounds different, I would be curious to see if it's
that person listening on the app or are they listening
on the radio.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Well, I'll text them and we'll find out. You know,
when I missed the first hour a CaSR yesterday in
very important meetings, Shannon, and when I went back to
go listen to it, I listen on speed Up. So
when I will put when I go to Spotify or Apple,
I will put it on one point eight or two
point h to listen to the podcast. Really I will.
I know some people do that, but it's it's fine
(17:23):
until you go back to the normal speed. So like
if we're talking slow, I guess slow mo. Like if
you put it on normal speed, you sound like you
were in slow motion. So maybe if I get a
little too like sped up during the pre show one
of these days, Shannon, just say, Billy, take a breath.
You've probably been listening on two point oh recently. I
wonder how many people listen on sped Up. I think
there's a lot of kids that watch YouTube videos like that. Yeah,
(17:45):
it's that short attention span.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Got to get it over as quickly as possible, you know,
Like I guess it is possible that those songs are
slightly sped up. I'm not doing that if it's the case,
but it would make sense because they're probably trying to
squeeze in as many songs in one hour as they
pop possibly can.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
So in theory, maybe they're doing it. They didn't tell
me though.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
If they're doing that, well, I got to think the
artists would have a problem with that, right, Like it
would change the music, it would change how it sounds.
But I mean, it's got to be just slightly to
where like a one point one holie, here's somebody who
has listened to these songs forever, which a lot of
classic rock songs are that because they've been out for
fifty years and people have been listening to them for.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
So long, and then if anything's different, they notice it.
So yeah, it is possible. But I'll I'll ask the uh,
the powers that be here if they're speeding up my music.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah, I get that in the mariachi music that comes
on on the AM stations. Fixed I've heard that, yeah
a lot. Shannon. The Knicks won their first championships since
nineteen seventy three last night, and as they beat the
Spurs to win the NBA Cup, each player is gonna
get a little over five hundred thousand dollars, so that's
a nice little payday. But middle of the season tournament
(18:54):
comes to an end last night with the Knicks, and
hopefully you wont a little money on DraftKings on that game.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Yes, And I wonder if you're a Knicks fan, are
you're really celebrating an NBA Cup.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I mean, it's not.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Really the title. I think you have to if it's
been your first and seventy three. There's just been some
people that have never experienced anyway.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I didn't read anything about anybody flipping over cars in
the streets of Manhattan after they won the Emirates NBA Cup.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Like you know, teams will do that when you win
the title, but it doesn't hit the same you NBA Cup. No,
not at all.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
But anyway, Draft Kings Sports but promo code KSR bet
five dollars, you bet hit, you're gonna ge two hundred
dollars in bonus bets. They have this early exit thing
that they've added on there, which I really like. If
you have a player prop you bet let's say Philip
Rivers to throw for you know, one hundred and fifty
yards and he ends up getting injured in the first half,
they will refund your money back.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
To you in the cash that you spent.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
So I think that's a really cool thing that they
added that people are loving because it's always a risk,
especially in the NFL. You bet on a player to
get X amount of yards or touchdowns or whatever it is,
and they get injured in the first half, you lose
your money.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
But not with DraftKings.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
With the money Back Guarantee promo code KSR, bet five
GE two hundred dollars in bonus bets. If you have
a gambling problem, call it one a too hundred gambler
eighteen plus Kentucky only.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Elegibody restrictions apply.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Bet must win to receive bonus bets, which expire in
seven days. See terms of DKNG dot co slash Audio
limited time offer.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
If we went through Shannon the Dude's cupboard, if we
went through his pantry, would we find I can a
can of Bush's baked beans.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I don't think so. Maybe I don't even know what's
in there. To be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I really don't don't know what's in there.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I don't really do any cooking at home, like there
could be stuff in there from years ago.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Well, thank god that can of green beans was sitting there,
so you can take it to the Thanksgiving Potlum.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
I wasn't gonna do anything with it, might as well
give it to the potluck. Like people are giving me
crap about the potluck again. When you walk into a
potluck and they've got two giant vats of green beans,
they clearly didn't need my green beans.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Right, so you were supposed to go to the store
and get something else.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Right, So well no, I mean I'm already at the potluck.
I can't leave the potluck to go get more food.
So you know, the effort was there. I brought the
green efforts out there. They didn't have green beans. I
totally would have emptied the can of green beans and
heated them up in the microwave and said, have had it.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
But there was more than enough green bean they had
left umber green beans.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, so it is what it is. Yeah it is.
But it's been like that every year. I think maybe
that's part of the sentiment here. I was just trying
to figure out that if you had a way to
get into the Louisville Toledo game coming up on December
twenty third. We have some bowl games tonight. Shannon Old
Dominion will take on USF and the Cure Bowl in Orlando,
(21:34):
and then we've got the matchup of Louisiana versus Delaware
in the sixty eight Ventures Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I mean, look, if you're a Louisville you thought that
you were gonna have a chance of the playoffs and
now you're playing in a bowl game where people can
literally get in with a can of bake beans.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
How in salted do you feel? I mean, you did
make a bowl game, but.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yeah, let's be careful. Can tell you didn't make a
bowl game, period, but it does hurt a little bit
when you had playoff aspirations and then baked beans gets
you into the games. It's smart on bushes too.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I mean they're making people go out and we're talking
about their well they're making people go out and buy
their product for two hundred two dollars and fifty cents.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
You times out by everybody there. Well Bush is making
more money. I mean Pop Tarts is doing good too
with their Pop Tart Bowl. Antics. We'll take a break,
maybe get to your phone. Calls next year on the
KSR pre Show. Welcome back Billy and the Dude. Here
on the KSR pre Show eight five nine two eight
oh two two eighty seven. If you'd like to join us,
we'll take some calls in this segment, Shannon, there was
(22:39):
a new study at the Ohio State University interviewing over
eight hundred American parents, and twenty seven percent of parents
thought it was very likely that their son or daughter
would become a college scholarship athlete. In fact, seventeen percent
of parents thought it was very likely that their child
would become a professional or Olympic athlete. Have you ever
(23:02):
heard of more delusion in your life? Seventeen percent of
parents think that their son or daughter is going to
become a professional athlete.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I mean, what's the reality of that? Like one percent?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
So here's some real stats. Seven percent of high school
athletes play in college, and the NCAA estimates that only
one point five percent of NCAA football players go on
to play in the NFL. Yeah, one point five percent
of college Then.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
How many of those become Olympians? Probably even less?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Even less? Yeah, but like I'm not too surprised by
that delusion. Because I feel like I'm going to have
the same type of opinion when I become a dad.
I mean, little Billy the fourth is going to be
making it in baseball, whether he likes it or not.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Shy, He'll be up there striking out every time, and
you'll be, oh.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
That it's my kid.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
He's going to be an Olympian.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
And I might be screaming at the ump a little bit. Yeah,
it might be screaming at other parents that are being
a little too loud on their sideline. I feel like
that's the Randy Marr that I need to become when
it comes to I guess youth athletes and their parents.
Drew Drew has already got a baby on the way.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I think Billy r Sports Billy Brewer is gonna be
the next one to have a baby. And yeah, maybe
and then uncle dude will be able to go to
those little league games.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
You'll do it with you. That's right. We got a
brown paper bag over there, Uncle dude.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
You got you know, a little shit of the dude's
brew Has that baked beans that you've brought as well?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
No, no, he doesn't have any baked beans, but of
course not right, No, but that's just it is a
little crazy that twenty seven percent of these parents think
that they could become a college scholarship athlete or their
kid would be I mean, I get like small colleges,
but like to make an SEC roster to play at
these bigger schools. It does take a lot, and that
is a type of delusion. I wish that I have one.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Well, I didn't say that they thought that their kid
would be like an All star or you know, all
American in the SEC.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
They just said, make it to college and play. No
scholarship athlete, right, so scholarship, I'm a scholarship athlete. I
didn't play D one in the set R is pretty
low then, I mean, if I was was that? Was
that at Lindsay Wilson, I mean Bellerman both? Okay?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, well good?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I mean it gives people and kids an opportunity to
go to school when you can save money. Like, was
you a scholarship athlete? I had some scholarships. I was
not an athlete though, red Tawel scholarship. I had keys money.
You didn't have to be any good at anything to
get keys money, Shannon, I guess your grades had to
be good, right.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah, just not be a complete failure. They'll get your
keys money.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
If you stay in state. Yeah, they'll, they'll they'll give
you some money. Let's take a phone call. Who's up first?
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (25:42):

Speaker 4 (25:44):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah, that's yeah, sorry John out in the sticks. Maybe
with that connection. I don't know what that would be from.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I can't listen to that though. That's like his phone
line was farting. I can't deal with that.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Well, we'll get back to him. Eight five nined two
eighth two two eight seven uh In and Out Burger
opened its first location east of Texas over the weekend. Oh,
let's go. In fact, there's now three locations in Tennessee
and Shannon. I don't know if you saw the lines
at these in and out Burgers over the weekend, there's
like three hundred cars deep at one point for some
(26:33):
in and out.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Look like, I'm not willing to wait that long for
anything other than che cheese.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Che che yes, chee cheese.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
I will be the three hundredth car in line to
get fried ice cream and saw sudden fietas Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I love in and out burg. Have you ever had
it before? I've had it. Yeah. No, wait a minute,
are you the one that said that it's overrated. It's
a little overrated. I think you're wrong about that. Did
you get an animal style? I did? Yep, the fries
animal style with all the sauce on it. Yeah, I
mean I made the pilgrimage. Everybody's like, oh, it's only
on the West coast. It's better than anything you've ever had.
(27:07):
Waiting in a long line. Thought it was just fine.
I didn't think it was life changing or anything.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
So they have one, you said, and three in Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Is in Tennessee, one in Nashville because I saw that
they were going to open one in Nashville at some point.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yeah, yes, well, I mean it fits surrounding area.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
If it's down close to yeah, I'll say, if it's
anywhere close to Broadway, forget about it.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
It would take hours to get that.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
And I don't know that I'm waiting in that line,
but I do love it. An out burger, but it's good.
At some point though, the newness of it will wear off, right.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Or just like chee Cheese. No, and then it'll just
become another Mexican restaurant. Chee Cheese is my long lost love.
Twenty years later, I still love it. They're like, you know,
it went away for a reason. We'll let the nostalgia
way off in two years and it's if it was appatitis,
walk it off, bubb alttle dirt on it. It'll be okay. Yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
I mean, I mean, what was the other place that
had happatitis? They didn't shut down.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
You're gonna have to be way more specific.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I don't want to say businesses names on the air,
but you're.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Very good at this. Every time I throw somebody under
the bus, you go, there's there goes your endorsement deal
with or something like that. Yeah, you know what I'm
talking about. A place that serves burritos that had heppatitis.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Oh yeah, yes, okay, and they're still working. They're still operating,
fully functional, So there you go.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Chee Cheese should have survived that. Well, they're back, so
then maybe they have. I got one more food story
for you. We'll get back to the phones here. The
new Avatar sequel is hitting theaters tomorrow and you can
buy a collectible popcorn cup for eighty dollars. Shannon, they
have a bandsheet, dragon flying monster esque thing that sits
(28:46):
with its popcorn cup. Eighty dollars for your signature popcorn cup.
Maybe are you gonna you're gonna splurge? No?
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Absolutely not sounds why would I want that to begin with?
It just holds about popcorn.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
I don't know what I saw. Eighty dollar. They called
it the most expensive movie popcorn bucket of all time.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
I guess you're buying that for your kids. And then
like just lonely single man who go to the movies
by themselves, let's think about it.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
If it works, it probably would buy that for eighty
dollars because they say you bring your kid to the movie.
Maybe they bring a friend or two. Right, so you're
already out what I mean, I'm not out sixty bucks
in tickets? Yeah? Maybe, And then you go up to
concessions like you know what we do? You get an
icy but little Billy wants a popcorn bucket.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Well, little Billy needs to understand you don't always get
what you want in life. Mick Jagger said it best.
You can't always get what you, here's.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
A dragon on the pop I don't care it's a
Christmas can.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Please, No, you will eat it out of a regular
popcorn ten eighty dollars dollars for that?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Come on, isn't that crazy? I mean, we're trying to
save the movies. How are we gonna save save the
movies with eighty dollars popcorn tins? And that probably just
goes to the movie or not the movie theater. I'm
sure some of it does, but probably to the actual
people that made the movie. But anyway, when's the last
time you went to a movie?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
I don't even drive in movie was last I guess September?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Yeah, but that's still like, that's like coming back a
little nostalgia. I mean the movies. I mean, now they
got bars and they're trying to put pickleball courts in
movie theaters. They're trying to bring everybody back. But I
just don't know if it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
So, yeah, well count me out with the dragon popcorn tin.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I'm I'm not getting it, Okay, I'll have to see
what kind of mood I'm in when I go to
the next movies next. Maybe I'll get the ten who's
up next? Let's go to Jake.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Hey, Drake, Hey, Jake, Hey, how are you guys doing
this morning? Sir?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Good Jake, how are you? I just wanted to call

I've never had frog legs. Yeah, I haven't had a
they're going to have them done that.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
You never had them before, but you're going to have
them tonight. Well, what's the review? Shannon tastes like chicken?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
It does?
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Does?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
It's good though?
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I like it. I mean that wouldn't be my first choice.
But you'll be all right, Jake, A big night.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Jake, Thank you, sir?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
All right, Jake, go.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
They just wanted to wish me happy birthday and tell
us that he's eating frog legs.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Well, if it's too hard to crack crab legs, maybe
just go get some frog legs for you.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, it's much easier. I can involve the air exactly.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
Think.
Speaker 1 (31:32):

Maybe he hit the mute button. I don't know. I
don't hear you. It's it's one of those mornings, shann
You ever had just one of those mornings? I'm sure
you have. We've had technical difficulties here on the show before.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
But everybody's phone today is not working for so reason. Blandon,
are you there?
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Landing? All right, we're moving on. No more Blanding. Let's

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Don, Hey, Don don Don? Does your phone work?
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Yes? It does?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Oh my gosh, not good.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
Hey listen, uh morning guys. Two things. Number one, Yeah,
Louisville's got the Baked Beans Bowl, but they're playing a
team that we beat twenty four to sixteen and they
beat us forty one to nothing. I mean, what kind
of bowl game is that expected to be? Also, Shannon,
(32:40):
you're a big fan of Chea Cheese. I was too.
I met one of the boarder directors of Chee Cheese,
who was Max Magee. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
If you remember, he's the one that kind of stood
che Cheese well.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
And he was the board of directors of a company
that I've worked four for fifteen years. And I met
Max Man. Him and Paul Horning together is like you
know Abbott and Costella. They were They were such a
fun couple. Listen, you all have a great day.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Thanks for the call. I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Don Do you know who Paul Horning even is?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Billy, of course, yeah, I know my Paul Horning. I
didn't know the other guy who started Chee Cheese.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Another Green Bay packer at All Ties Together Packers fan.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Well, no, wonder you love so much. I mean it's
even got that lineage and Paul Horning. I actually used
to do his TV show. He would tape it every
week at Chee Cheese. Oh you do it at the
one in Louisville. Yep, right there at Best for Men
or Mall. Well, I mean, if the chips are hitting
and the sauce is good, why would you leave right exactly?
(33:47):
Just come and do the whole show there.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Yeah. Hey, if we're up to meet, we'd be doing
this show.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
There is that right maybe remote to chie Cheese one.
Of these days, one more thing and then we'll take
a break. Here. Howard Stern just signed on for three
more years. Serious you saw that? Yeah, fake news. I
guess a year or so ago, and it looks like
he was on his way out of sirious And now
three more years. Howard Stern is seventy one years old.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
The guy is going to die on the radio, like
he's going He's like, you know some of these bands
that just keep touring into their nineties, like Howard Stern
doesn't want to give it up.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
And by the way, why would he.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
The dude works like you want to talk about somebody
with vacation time, like, oh.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Yeah, is this year?
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Hero aspire to be Howard Stern and have his vacation
schedule because the guy is off the entire summer and
I think he only works like fifty days a year
because on the weeks that he does work, he works Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and that's it.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
He's off Thursday and Friday every single week.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
So every week.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
So yeah, so at worst for him, he has to
come to work three days a week and most of
the time he's off.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Well that is a made man right there.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
So I needed that schedule.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
You want to talk about my vacation, which, by the way,
I'm off for the last two weeks. So yeah, yeah,
I got today, Tomorrow, and Friday, and I won't talk
to you until twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna be taking some time off too
at the end of the year, so we will have
some best stubs playing. You know, I will be out
tomorrow because I will be at jury duty, so Shannon
will be holding it down. Nice.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Nice, I think we get Mario coming on tomorrow and
best of luck at jury duty. Can you report in
and let us know what's going on at the jury.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Well, not live on the air, because I think it
like it starts like right at like during the middle
of the show, so like I don't know if I
can't even bring my phone in from what I remember
last time, so you probably can't even talk about it either.
That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Like Friday, when you come in, you probably.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Yeah, I'm not going to reveal a ton of details either,
but you're well, let's hope you don't get on a case.
You get just what I did last time. I'm like
prime like for the jury like that. I'm like, you
have experience yeah, I got the face. Oh we're picking
this guy too. Did you nail the guy? Yeah? We
put somebody away.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Oh my gosh years what Yeah, dude, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Talk about like some contentious arguments when it comes to
the deliberate stuff. I mean, I'm a veteran at this.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
He might be on somebody's hit list. Putting somebody away
for twenty years?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Well, yeah, like you make eye contact with the people
and yeah, and then they release us for lunch and
look there he is.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Were you with the one like advocating for maybe his
innocence or are you like, no, throw the book to him.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
I'm going to plead the fifth on this one. Like
this is I don't know how much I can reveal,
but we.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Don't even know what you're talking about. We're talking in
generalities here. We didn't say anybody's name. We didn't even
say what he did allegedly.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Allegedly, yes, allegedly, I don't know, but well, I'll go
through that experience tomorrow and do my civic Dude, he
just like Mark Pope, who apparently can't even yell at practice.
Right now, I don't believe.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
That by the way that he said that he can't
yell because he might lose his voice forever.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
What do you mean you don't believe it.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
I don't believe that, he said, Well, Matt said that.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
He said.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
I didn't hear him say that. Matt said that.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
He said that if he continues to yell, that he
could possibly lose his voice forever. Does that mean like
damage your vocal cords? You couldn't scream forever? Ever? Forever? Ever?
You ever lose your voice and like not be able
(37:09):
to do the show one of these days.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Oh yeah, remember when Venetti Karate chopped my throat and a.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Yeah, I do remember to talk. I was like, right
at the beginning of my tenure, I still can't sing
falsetto because of that? Is that right? Abg? Being held
back's speed O night? It really is?
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Yeah, dirty cheater, I'm gonna go up from behind and
just put a sleeper hold on him in the pall way,
just to get him back. He may not be able
to recover from that, so careful pull his hair plugs out.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
All right, We'll take a break. We'll be right back
here on the ks appre Show. Welcome back Shannon the
Dude and Billy Rutledge not Billy Brewer, despite all of
you to keep calling me that on the text line,
I would do two six five six. That is not sticking.
We're not gonna let that happen. But do appreciate our
guy Austin for jumping on the show. And you know
(37:58):
he does produce for Shannon every now and then, so
hopefully we'll have more of him in twenty twenty six. Shannon,
you have any New Year's resolutions anything like that, anything
you're gonna change in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
Nope, I'm gonna completely stay the way that I am.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
I'm going to be that's the way to do.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
That's right, Yeah, that's right. Nobody wants me to change.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
No progressing or evolution. It's this same old, same o mode.
I am. Who I am even working like a couple
push ups every morning or something, Dude, I mean, I'm
just friend a friend here trying to help you out.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Okay, maybe you should come work out with me because
we've been talking about this for a year and you
still have yet to uh to come over and you know.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Work out with me. We could do it now. I
would love to. I actually just got back in the gym.
I've had a you know, I had my month November
where I've worked every day and so finally getting back
into the gym a little bit, so enjoying it. So yeah,
I'd love to do something like that.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
But I don't do New Year's resolutions because I know
I'm not going to keep them. But like I started
doing like the workout thing in January, it wasn't a
New Year's resolution. I just started doing it and didn't stop.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Well, if you have a new Year's resolution out there,
here's my piece of advice for you. Start today. You
don't have to wait till January first, shann.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
But you need the two week buffer you need to.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
You know, no, no, no, no no no. You can all the.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Pumpkin pis and like whatever you eat at Christmas before
he's two to three weeks ahead.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
No, you could be two weeks ahead of your counterparts
on their New Year's resolutions. If you start today, Shannon,
don't make it so tough. Don't wait till the buzzer
goes off for you to start. Get up a little
bit earlier. Maybe start doing it now. Let's take a
phone call before we got to leave here. Hopefully the phones.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Work all right, Let's let's add Hey John short, John,
Oh stop.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
John, I'm right here.
Speaker 5 (39:33):
I know you can give me. Fine, we got you,
I got you. Just sure, I ready for begging. Tomorrow night.
We're gonna be with to morrow games. Nothing in volleyball.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Well, it would only get to three if they sweep John,
but they've been sweeping a lot of people in the
tournament this year, so hopefully they can do it.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
Yes, it's gonna be on radio to you and those
on ESPN, it's gonna be on the l E P.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
I don't think they have sent a radio person for
this game, so we'll have to watch it on TV together.
Speaker 5 (40:03):
John, Okay, Donkiers because they don't really call the play
by play as well like we do over here on radio.
I know they don't on TV.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
Yeah, I think is it Dick Gabrielle that's been doing
these games. I'm not exactly sure, But we have a
game tomorrow night, John, and hopefully the Cats need a win,
go to the National Championship game. Anything else for us.
Speaker 5 (40:24):
Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna be Saint John's. Tim Biggins
is sary in basketball. We're gon we're gonna win Friday night.
Willis Basketball by fifty Biggins Friday night. We haven't talked
about the women's basketball.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Yeah, Billy and talked about the women's basketball.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Thanks for calle, John. We appreciate it. Thank you John.
All of the women are doing good too. They had
a big win over the weekend on the road. My
question is, do you do we see Jade Quainton's on
Saturday versus saying.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
Well, if you believe that anonymous texture to Matt a
couple of days ago, ten to twelve minutes, ten to twelve,
JQ Tom, let's go if.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
It's ten to twelve. I mean that guy is a
made man. He's like Howard Stern. You could just start
taking vacation or at least call back for a victory lap.
I'm sure we'll get that. Or you can bet on
maybe you can bet on DraftKings that Jaq will come
back Shan. Can you do that?
Speaker 3 (41:07):
I don't think that you can. But you can bet
just about everything else on there. So we've sign up
with promo code KSR. You bet five dollars, is a
new customer your bet hit, you get two hundred dollars
in bonus bets. As I mentioned earlier, if you do
a player prop and the player goes down with an
injury in the first half, you're going to get your
money back on DraftKings with promo code KSR.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
The Crown is yours. I did feel for Jalen Low
where he said a quote where it was something to
the effect of it can't rain forever, Shannon. They spent
some dark days, but it can't rain forever. We just
got to keep fighting, yep.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
And they finally got maybe the when that they need
it to build some confidence and start beating some top
twenty five team as you get a big opportunity on
Saturday with Saint John's I know Rick Patino said he's
going to try to speed up Kentucky. I wonder if
that's going to play into their favor or not.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
It'll be interesting to see heart to happen shots regardless.
For Shannon the Dude, I'm Billy Rutlich. This has been
the KSR pre show. KSR coming up next. We will
talk to you tomorrow
