Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everyone, and it is the KSR pre Show Wednesday,
August nineteenth. I am Shannon the Dude, and you can

Clark's Puppets Shop phon line at eight five nine two

(00:22):
the KSR pre Show is brought to you by Cornbreadhimp.
Go to Cornbreadhimp dot com slash action in the fight
to keep Himp legal. All Right, So I'm in Louisville.
Billy's over in Lexington, get our normal set up at Billy.
I'm telling you, Uh, it's been a heck of a
morning for me just getting to work this morning.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
And going on, well I gotta I got.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
It has been really stressful because I was, you know,
getting in the jeep to head to work, and I
noticed as soon as I get in turn on the
car start shaking, like what's going on?

Speaker 2 (00:53):
What's going on here?

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Then the light comes on and I'm like, all right,
I don't know what light that is, but it'll probably
be okay, right, it'll be all right until I get
to work. Well, I get about two miles down the
road and that light that's lit up then starts blinking.
So now I'm like, okay, I'm not really sure what
light that is, but this this feels like something that
needs to be googled and maybe figured out. Right now,

(01:15):
turns out, Billy, it's the engine light. Wait, you've never
seen the check engine light.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
No on your g not on my No, not I
had a problem aut it, not one problem out of
it at all.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Ever, that light has never came on before. And I
don't know do you know all the lights that light
up on your dashboard?

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Well I know that one because that one stays on
for me. People are like, you need to get that
checked out. I've gotten it checked out, and I think
it's a faulty sensor in my tire pressure gauge, and
so it just stays on for me, which is dangerous
because I don't really know when there's a true problem
with my car. But that is the one that starts
blinking at you, then you probably need to pay attention to.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
So what happens, Well, did you make it to this.
I guess you made it to the stay.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, I mean you're looking at me. I'm here at
the station. But let me tell you what happened after that.
So then I'm like, all right, I look it up
and it says do not drive in big bold capital letters.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
So I go, you know what, I probably should pull
this thing over.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
And as I do, I'm starting to notice smoke rolling
off the hood and I see the smoke.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
In the headlights, and I'm going, this isn't good. So
I had to pull a U turn.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Had to get somebody back here at the station to
run the Cherry Eves show this morning. We didn't make
it in time. Why I got there at the end
of it. Finally had to get a ride in. But yeah,
not a good morning for me and Billy. The jeep
has been running fine, and I'm starting to think that
maybe this Etsy Witch of yours is to blame. We

(02:38):
talked about the Etsy Witch, and I'm just saying, man, like,
I've never had any issues out of it. We bring
up the Edtsy Witch. We kind of mocked the Etsy Witch.
Next thing I know, now the jeep's not working this morning.
What problem did you have? Didn't you just say you
didn't have headphones that.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Were well, yeah, my headphones didn't work.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Your headphones were broken?

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Is it not working in one of the ears? Don't
put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby. I cannot be
blamed for all the issues at the station or for
your jeep because the Etsy Witch made it not rain on.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
The wedding day.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
But I mean, smoke's coming out of the hood. That's
pretty serious. Like that would uh, that would probably scare
me a little bit. Yep, So turn around.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Just add that to the list of things that are
broken that've got to fix. Man, it never ends, It
never ends. But I'm just saying I think that maybe
we should apologize to the Etsy Witch. Now, I'm sorry,
Ittsy Witch didn't mean to laugh at you, but maybe
we could still hire her for the football team. Still,
I'm still not opposed to hiring Etsy Witch for the
football team this year.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well, how could you say that if you're blaming the
evils of or the things happening to your jeep and
to the equipment in the studios, you still want to
go through with the Witch?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, I mean trying to make amends with the Etsy
Witch because it's clearly backfiring on me right now. But
I think that's because I was making fun of you
for hiring the Etsy witch and there it is.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Yeah, huh.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
I'm trying to rationalize why this would randomly happen out
of nowhere.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Well it comes full circle.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
I would not jump into it because I was watching
this video last night on YouTube, and that's a Waimo.
You know, these Waymos were everywhere out west. You go
out there and it's like one in every twenty cars
is a Waymo. Now they've got him in Nashville. So
I watched this video last night on YouTube of this
guy who tried out of Waymo for the first time
in his life and he wanted to make a video

(04:27):
of it to see how it went.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Well.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Sure enough, what should have been a bit I think
a four to five mile drive turned into a twenty
minute drive because it got stuck in a driveway and
it didn't know what to do, and it's just sitting
there and I'm.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Going just back up and turn around, weymo, what are
you doing? But it would like go up a little
bit and then we come back and to just sit there.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
And finally the guy had to call somebody, and there
was like an operator that came over the speaker inside
the car that was driving the car building And I'm
going this is insane, because if somebody can take over
a car remotely, that means that anybody could just jump
in there and hack into the system and next thing
you know, you got your Waimo being driven by a

(05:11):
terrorist remotely. There's no way I would want to jump out,
no way I would want to jump into a way
just knowing that somebody can remotely from an office, from
some cubicle, jump in and take over a Weimo and
you're in the car and they can drive it wherever
they want.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Uh huh, that ain't happening.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
I know there's like a level of trust you have
to have to get into the back of a taxi
or an uber or a lyft, But I would trust
a human being over these weymos because I've already seen
too many times where weaymo's just freak out, don't know
what to do, and it's as simple as backing up
a car, and they have to get somebody remotely to
drive these cars. I don't know that I'll ever get

(05:49):
in a Weymo in my life. Billy after seeing these videos, well, we've.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Talked about those.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
We saw a ton of those in San Francisco when
we went out there for the Super Bowl, and we
saw one cut across four lanes of traffic and then
start driving where cars were parked, like where you would park.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
On the street. So you see the woman inside.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
We look inside the car and this woman is scared
to death looking around, not knowing what to do. I
assume you can't take over a weymo, you can't drive
in a dangerous situation, or if it just can't get
out of the driveway like you're in a Tesla. But
I didn't know somebody could take it over remotely.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
That's what was happening in this video.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
It's scary, like it was like the doors lock and
you know it's you know, I will be in charge now.
Somebody comes over the intercom. That's like dystopian kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
It's just like this studio when something goes wrong, you
scan the QR code and then you talk to somebody
who's not there and they will remotely talk you through
the album or fix the computer. And I'm going, man like,
if that can happen that easily, then I don't know
why somebody that wanted to just wreck a car couldn't
just jump in there, hack into the system and the
next thing you know, you're you're in the back of

(06:55):
a weymou that's driving you into a lake.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah, and I wonder how many other things this happens with,
Like somebody can probably access your phone pretty easily with the.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
Modern technology, and that there is now right.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
I mean, smart TVs came out many years ago that
people were listening through I guess the speakers of the TV.
If you had a smart TV and people could remotely
access it, you know, Matt's talked about that, like us
giving up our privacy will be one of the bigger
stories forty to fifty years from now. The terms and
conditions that we just accept without reading.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
How many times have you just scrolled all the way
through it because the terms and conditions are ten pages long.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
And you're not reading all that. You don't even know
what you're giving up.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
You're just scrolling to the bottom, click and agree, and
then getting to the next page.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
They could sneak in in page eight that I'd have
to name my firstborn child Weymore, and I'd have no
idea I just had to agree to the waiver to
get into the car because I was drunk wanting to
get home. Yeah, you know, so like crazy, That is crazy.
And do you think there'll be more waymos? Do you
think there's no way to stop this? I feel like
taxis will not be a thing.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
I think soon there will be waimo waimos.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
They're gonna be more'll be way more those.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
I think that they're slowly taking out man. It's like, hey,
I is taking everybody's job.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
You think that, Okay, if I'm a driver, if I'm
a taxi driver, the biggest threat to me is uber
or a lyft. Right now, you've got these driverless cars
coming in and taking not only taxi drivers jobs, but
ubers and lyft drivers too.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
Well.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
We have a lot of truck drivers that listen to
a show like this.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Imagine if you didn't have to stop to rest, right,
you could get your shipments even sooner across the country.
So I remember the when we went to the political
thing the Caucus.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
And Andrew Yang Yanging.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
He was talking about a semi truck that could drive
from one end of the country to the other, delivering
butter and his whole thing was automation, and I don't
know that I want automation.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I don't want that.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
That was just like he based his campaign off of
automation and talking about this truck, this semi that could
drive from one end of the country to the other
by itself, and I'm going, man, we're getting into scary
territory when you got cars that can do that but
then can't back out of a driveway without having you
call it a cuban.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
You want to embrace the future in new technology, but
how is that for a campaign idea that you want
to support AI that's taking people's jobs. You're not going
to get many people's votes like that. I think if
you are directly talking about ending other people's livelihoods.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Well yeah, and I think that was something that was
you know, that was back in what twenty nineteen, so
ai't wasn't anywhere close to what it is now. That
was seven years ago. Now fast forward seven years from now.
I don't even want to know where we're going to
be with AI and driverless cars.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Would want to be a teacher today that has to
sift through papers that have been done by chat GPT.
Right now, there's better tools to recognize when someone uses
something like that. There's also things that can give you
immediate answers. I saw somebody do a job interview and
they had like AI listening to the question that the
interview would give and then immediately on the screen give

(10:06):
you the answer that you could regurgitate back.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
There's already a class that's got an AI teacher that
just sits up there and we'll talk to you.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Like teach the class.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
That's crazy anyway, Just watching that Waymo video last night,
I was like, uhuh, Like, I do not trust technology
yet you goat have to do years and years and
years of proving that you're not going to kill anybody
in these waymosts before I'm.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Well, Witchcraft and voodoo still in. It's still in, man,
It's it's it's working on us. It's working on us.
This morning, there's not a whole lot of news going on.
We'll make it and ask anything day eight, five, nine,
two eighth, twenty two eighty seven if you wanted to
jump in on the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line. The
news that we did get today was Kentucky is going
to be hiring Alex Brown as the football new assistant

(10:49):
General manager. He's a long time front office staffer from
Old Miss SMU Houston. Rice also spent some time in
the NFL with the Falcons as the ass GM.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Pete Knachta, of course got promoted to general manager.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
So I don't know if you got any strong takes
on Alex Brownbie and the new assistant GM, Billy, But
that's the news that came through this morning.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Like to see Stein moving quick on this. You know,
I think we lamented Mark Pope for not hiring a
GM for all the for a while before getting Keegan Brown.
He promotes Pete Nocta and he's already got an assistant
GM and Alex Brown, so it's a It's a nice
list of places that he's been, including the Falcons last
year as a scout. I think the thing that stuck
out to me is that he worked under Tom Herman

(11:31):
at Houston, And my favorite Tom Herman's story is that
in the bathrooms in the Longhorn locker room, he had
the Longhorn football hydration chart. Do you remember this Yane
no hy chart? Yes, in the bathrooms and the color
of your pee would determine how selfish of a player

(11:51):
you are, So really, yeah, like take like a wild
different white, like light yellow, yellow yellow, dark yellow almost orange,
and then brown, and it's got like a category brown
to it. Next to the brown, you are a bad guy.
Next to like the dark yellow and kind of deeper yellow,
it's blatant disregard for your teammates. You are headed to

(12:13):
area fifty one. Is that what this says? Or this
is what the chart said? Really, he turned up in
the bathroom of the Longhorn facility. If you had like
kind of middle of the road you were a selfish teammate,
you weren't drinking enough water. But then if you had
very light levels of urine, you had championship hydration.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Okay, that's too far for me. That's a little weird
when you're analyzing my urine that. I'm all for stats,
I'm all for you know, like these mechanisms that they
put on players to measure their heart rate to see
like what kind of effort you're giving. I'm for that,
Like you know that, that to me is not too far.
But the moment that you're doing urine tests on your players,

(12:54):
that's a little crazy for me. Billy, that's a little
too much. No, again, that's not Alex Brown. That is no,
that's Tom Herman, the guy that he worked he worked
under under at Houston back in the day.

Speaker 6 (13:05):
One.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
The only thing I can think of when I hear
Tom Herman, though, and I feel like is I don't
think I've ever seen that anywhere else besides maybe a
doctor's office. Right, it's I can't believe being a selfish
teammate because my urine is a little so.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
So he's saying that if you don't hydrate enough, if
you're not thinking about your teammates, I would say, you're
not thinking.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
I see, you know, I take it the other way.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
I take it the other way because if you're not hydrating,
that means you're not spending your time over there on
the sideline hydrating.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
You're out there busting your butt. See. I will look
at it completely the opposite way. But what do I know.
I'm not Tom Herman, and people's urine.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
Well, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
If it's I'm drinking a water cup on the sideline
of practice, it's more of I'm drinking jugs.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
Of water when I'm not at practice.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
All Right, you need to be thinking about the team
even when you're not at And maybe indicative of why
Tom Herman did not work at Texas. But maybe I'll
hang one of those up in the in the studios
here or the bathroom at iHeartRadio.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
And don't do that. They might get you in trouble.
So anyway, we get an assistant GM for the UK
football team.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
What about Mark Pope?

Speaker 1 (14:07):
What do you think about him being hesitant to wanting
to hire a GM and wanting to go that route,
you know, because I think, like Jay Batt wants a
GM for the basketball team. Mark Pope, on the other hands, like, well,
we got all these other guys kind of like we've
got four GM's already.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
Right Well, Keegan Brown was hired in a similar role,
not exactly the title of GM. It did seem very
odd that the entire wave of the sport was to
hire a GM in a weird time in the sport
where you need every help you can get to.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
Try to bring in these recruits.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
I just think it's unfair to ask these college, high
level college basketball coaches to also be really good at
the jobs of a GM at the same time, right,
Like they should be focused on their practices and roster
construction is a huge part of that don't get me
wrong in recruiting, but when it comes to the contracts
and NIL and all this mumbo jumbo that's now been

(15:04):
added over the last five, five to ten years, Like
I feel like it'd be a natural thing to hire somebody,
But I think a lot of these guys are control freaks, right,
and it may be hard sometimes to give up some
of that power.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
But the difference is, though these guys are coaches, they
know coaching, they don't all necessarily know business. And it
has become a business. Nil is business. So when you
start talking numbers and how much money we can offer you,
and especially can start looking at it's just paying a lot,
spreadsheets and all this stuff, then I feel like some

(15:35):
coaches are out of their element on that. And for me, Billy, yeah,
I would want to have the final say as the
head coach as to whether or not we're going to
get a player, and I think that's how it works.
But I would if I could have a GM to
go out there and do all the NIL stuff for me.
I don't know why you wouldn't want that. That's just
one last thing you had to worry about it as
a head coach. You've already got so many things.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
On your plate.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Not having to worry about crunching numbers and offering players
based on nil dollars as the coach, I would think
would be a positive to have a GM, to let
somebody else handle that stuff.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
It seems only natural, especially when we heard stories about
Pope maybe at the finish line, not being the best
finisher when it comes to that being a little awkward.
So it seems like the natural progression. I'll give you
a stat not in basketball, but in football. Seven college
football rosters will exceed forty dollars in nil.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
I mean that just goes to show you like you can't.
I don't think you can close anymore on We are Kentucky.
This is our tradition, this is who we are and
what we've done in the past. I think what you
close on now money, How much money? Show me the money.
That's what it's all about. And that's where I think
you definitely need a GM. Eight five, nine, two, twenty
two eighty seven. We got to take a break, and

(16:47):
we'll try to try to hydrate in the break, try
to hydrate during the break. I'll try to be a
good teammate and uh, maybe I'll report back to you
tomorrow the color so I can tell you if I'm a.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
Good There's a Tom on the line. Is that Tom Herman?
I hope, I hope helling in.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
We'll check, we'll find out. Coming up next KSR Pre Show.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
We'll be right back. All right, welcome back.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
It is the KSR Pre Show, coming back with some
zz Top right here. Yesterday, zz Tops legendary drummer Frank
Beard passed away at the age of seventy seven. He
was the drummer on essentially every zz top hit, so
he was there from He wasn't I.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Don't think the original original drummer, but I.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Mean he goes way back. So like any zz top
song that you hear that you know he was the
drummer on. He was with the band for god, like
I said, decades, and then had to step away last
year because some health issues, then joined the band again
this year, then had to step back again. So he
passed away at the age of seventy seven yesterday. Interestingly enough,

(17:49):
Billy named Frank Beard. He was the only guy in
zz Top that didn't have a beard.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
You know.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
The other two Dusty Hill and Billy Gibbons had those
long beards.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, the guy named Frank Beard didn't have a beard,
just a mustache.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
That is ironic and it's terrible news you hear that.
You know he was trying to come back, had to
step away, came back to the band. It's hard to
hang it up right, even when you do have health issues,
and so I hate to hear that. Thinking about zz
Top and his family after that news yesterday.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Eight five nine, twenty two eighty seven. We'll go to
the phones in just a minute. We also do have
some more patent Oswalt tickets to give away. Let's go
That show is going to be happening at Comedy Off Broadway,
So if you want tickets, we'll give those away at
the end of the show. How about Zadarias Smith coming
out of retirement, Billy, did you see this? He signed
a one year deal with the Falcons eight million dollars.

(18:40):
Kind of nice to know that you still got it.
When you can retire, you can, you know, if you
want to come back at any time, you can, And
that's what Zadarius is doing with the Falcons, coming back
and he's gonna have one more run in them.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
It sounds like, yeah, he must be doing it for
the money, because I don't he must have not seen
how bad Tua looked for the Falcons in the first
preseason game.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
I'm worried about him.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
It just looks like, you know, he signed a fifty
sixty million dollar contract with the Dolphins, and all these
head injuries he's had, it's just not working out. And
I don't know if it's going to work out at Atlanta.
But you know, I love Zadarius. I'm glad he's getting
back in the game. We talked a little bit about
that yesterday on Cover zero, which came out this morning.
Drew and I did that with Matt Gohan. So good
for Zadarius. Hopefully he can find some success. This is

(19:21):
the guy that's went all Pro before, right, so he's
had a lot of success at at that.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Long three time pro bowler, the guy that you know
has been around with the Ray, started with the Ravens,
went to the Packers, Vikings, Browns, Lions.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
He's just been a journeyman.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
He's only thirty three, so I mean he's still got,
you know, a couple of years in him if if
he wants it just depends, I mean, you know, you
got Aaron Rodgers playing up into his forties, So it
just depends on how far you want to push it.
But he's going to be coming back, and you know
it gives you one more cat in the NFL to
follow this this upcoming season.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yeah, but I doubt you see a forty year old
defensive end right like con back would be a little different. Yeah,
you can get the ball out quick, you can be
more of a field general. I feel like thirty three
is pretty old for an edge, isn't it. Like I
don't know, maybe I'm hitting you a little too hard after.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Yeah, come on, fifty thirty thirty, I'm pushing fifty. That's
the one pushing fifty. But anyway, Zadarius, you can look
for him for the Falcons. Hey, something big is coming.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Got about a minute before the break. Let's go to Rita.
Who's on the line.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Good morning, Rita, Good morning.

Speaker 5 (21:12):
Do you hear me?

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yeah, I've got you.

Speaker 4 (21:14):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 5 (21:15):
Okay? All right, you're talking about things that I've been
being tortured by lately, but not AI vehicles, but AI
phone people at AT and t ATT. I'm sorry, that's
how old I am. Anyway, I'm seventy two years. I'll
love to do everything in God's life, and the last

(21:38):
few days have been absolute torture. I've finally got the
appointment canceled, but now they're bugging me about remaking the
appointment and they won't leave me alone. I've had to
cancel my debit card so they can't come back and
take my money. Yeah, I've had to do all kinds

(21:59):
of things. And basically I'm also sitting here.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
You're hydrating, all right, you're a good teammate reader, Yes.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
All right, dad, Well hang on, hold on, readA, because
I've got to go to a break. Have you got
more to talk about? Hang on, I'll get you on
the other side of the break.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
All right, hang out with this.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
We'll hear more about Rita's problems and our problems too.
Coming up next here on the KSR pre show, We
are back. It is the KSR pre Show, Shannon the
Dude and Billy Rutledge. David writes and says, already heard
of neighborhoods getting clogged up because waymos get stuck in neighborhoods.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
I've seen that too. You see like a whole line.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Of these waymos that'll get in neighborhoods and I don't
know if maybe they get a dead end or a
roundabout or whatever it is, and they just they don't
know what to do.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
They just get stuck.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
So you get these line of waymos blocking people to
where they can't even get out of their driveway because
waymos are lined up and down the road in front
of the rows.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
You know, I haven't been in one of these yet,
but one person on the text line said they took
one when they went to Austin and it was fine,
but it was wild watching the wheel turn and drive
with no one in the driver's seat. I mean, I'm
sure it is jarring to see it for the first time,
but you know, who knows in a few years it'll
be only way mos.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
And so just embraced the future, all right.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
So Rita was on the phone. I had to cut
her off because we had the heart break coming up. So, Rita,
you were ranting.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
About all the things that were going wrong, and I
felt bad cutting you off as you were mid rant,
So go ahead.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
That's okay. Basically, you know, I did get the appointment canceled.
They're supposed to come today. I had spectrum out here yesterday,
so I have canceled them, and they're still trying to
make another appointment with me. What I'm what I'm trying
to say is that I've got to call the the

(23:54):
oh god, what is it called. I had it in
my head, but basically I've got to call uh the
AC not the a SEC. But no, no, no, I'm
not going to call them back, believe me. But yesterday
I did call Apple and they have a new opening

(24:16):
uh bots and Absolutely he heard that I was upset,
and he comforted me.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yes, wow, okay.

Speaker 5 (24:31):
Calmed me down and then got me somebody to take
care of me right away. So it was a problem
with my phone. Yeah, but it was a person I
went to. It wasn't you know, absolutely Bots, which is
basically if you call anybody calling the bank. They told me,
oh yeah, we're hearing this over and over and over.

(24:53):
We've had to shut down people's accounts. And I said,
she says, I've got to shut your account down, and
basically I went on my backup card read out.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
I'm sorry you're having all these troubles, but yeah, it is.
And I appreciate you listening to the show. Thank you,
thank you for calling in. I like Rita's RNTs. We
should just do that on a weekly basis. Just Rita
calls us up and let us know what's going on
in her life and what the problems are.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
But I don't know.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
I have you ever had that situation where you're talking
to a bot and AI and it tries to comfort you.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
I don't think it would work.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
No, I'm the person that goes straight to give me
a human, give me a representative when I call, because
you can. But I'm telling you, though, they get better
and better with these AI like automated messages. When you call,
they'll have a conversation with you, and it's hard to
tell if you're talking to a human or a bot.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
Sometimes it's evolved.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Right before you would have to press a number to
get to a certain place. Now you can just tell
the AI voice what you want. So it's evolved in
that way. But I don't know if I've ever had
one gauge my emotional emotional distress level and trying to
calm me down. I think I wouldn't like that, honestly,
I know. Just get me to a human like yeah.

(26:05):
But those Internet places, they're notorious for long holds and
AI getting you wait, trying to get your problem solved
before you even ever talk to a human let's.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Go to Sam. Hey, Sam, what's up?

Speaker 6 (26:16):
Hey? How's it going?

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Fellows, we've heard Matt's love for hearing the unflogging of drains.

Speaker 6 (26:23):
I wonder how much you would love to see the
unclogging of.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
Way moos in the neighborhoods. I would love to see
his reaction on that, yeah, or the destruction of them.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
What I'm telling you, man, you're gonna see them more
and more than anything else before we let you go, Sam, No,
thank you.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah, that's it's gonna be a problem because, like I said,
they're not going anywhere, and they're just now expanding into
other cities like Nashville. Before you know what, They're gonna
be in Loisal, They're going to be in Lexington. Have
you seen any in Lexington? I haven't seen any in Kentucky.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
Now, I don't think I have. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
I feel like they'll come to Louisville first, you know,
a little bit of a bigger city.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
I just saw a headline that over five hundred US
cities are now going to get their Amazon packages delivered
by drones by the end of the year. And you know,
take this, you know, go forty fifty years down the road.
Do we have mail carriers? Do we just have drones
flying around and giving us all our mail in our packages?

Speaker 4 (27:22):
I mean, that's.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
It destroys jobs. But also at the same time, it's
just it's gonna be crowded with everything flying around driverless.
We're giving a lot of faith into AI here in
the future.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
It seems like, Billy, are you still doing your counties
on KSR, because I haven't heard them in weeks.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
I'm wondering if we're still doing them.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Or I got two in the chamber next time Matt
wants wants to do them. You know, I'm hosting KSR today,
so I'm not gonna do counties today unless you really
want them.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
No, it's okay. I knew this wouldn't go far anyway.
But where where do we even leave off at?

Speaker 5 (27:54):
Do you know?

Speaker 4 (27:54):
I think we're at Carlisle.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
So we got to the ceas.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
Yeah, we got to alphabetically going through. We got to
seize the start of the season.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
I bring this up because I know your home county,
Oldham County, has a dispute going on. I don't know
if you saw this, but I wanted your take on it,
your ruling of this. Yes, there's a handful of Oldham
County residents that received a letter in the mill telling
them that their homes aren't really in Oldham County, but
instead they're in Jefferson County. So I guess they reassessed

(28:26):
where the property lines were and some computer generated model
drew a line maybe and said, okay, well these houses
right here that they say are in Oldham County are
actually in Jefferson County. Now you say, well, why does
that really matter? Well, it matters for a lot of reasons.
I mean, first of all, it changes your taxes, it's
going to change where you vote, and.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
If you got kids, it's going to change where they
go to school.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
And now these residents that got these letters in the
mill are as you would probably understand, not very happy
about it.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
And they're trying to just this, where do you.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Lie on this new property line and where Oldham County
residents weren't technically Oldham County residents, but they bought their
homes thinking they're in Oldham County.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Now they're being told you're in Jefferson County.

Speaker 4 (29:13):
Well, I have this story.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
I was going to mention it a little later today,
but it's not just Oldham County, Shannon, there were two,
there was Harden County. Spencer and Bullet County also received
these letters in the mail.

Speaker 4 (29:24):
County now just part of Jefferson.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Oldom seems to be the biggest one with the most people.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Right, two hundred and eleven residents impacted by this Oldham County,
sixty seven in Bullet County, and then like eleven and
Harden and two in Spencer. But yeah, they got a
letter in the mail that said, your place of habitation
is not physically in the county where you were previously
registered to vote. So now you're just part of Jefferson
County in a year where you know, maybe there's some

(29:48):
elections going on. It is strange timing, especially since it
was explained by the Jefferson County Clerk's office that it
was a twenty twenty two state law that required all
state agencies to use the same mapping software. The quote
is the line didn't change, the technology got better. Why
did it take four years to implement this line? Don't

(30:12):
you I'm outraged if I'm one of these people. Yes,
like you said, you go to Oldham County for the schools.
That's a huge reason why would you go to that.
Now you may be busting, you know, across the city
to get to one of the schools that your kid
is going to go to.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Imagine this.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
You know, you got a kid who's going into his
senior year and all of a sudden, now he has
to go to Jefferson County schools because of what some
computer software says. Don't you think that those residents in
this situation, Billy should just be grandfathered in.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
I mean, you bought your home, you were in Oldham County.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Now all of a sudden, we got better software that
says that the line is actually a little bit over here.
You know, it's two hundred feet over so now technically
you're a Jefferson County resident. I think I would just
let those people alone, like just.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
Yeah, well, where does that stop?

Speaker 3 (31:00):
Gary mandering has been a huge part of politics for
a while in redrawing districts. But for this technology to
just take over and move people out of the county
they thought they've lived in for years. I mean, think
about the people who lived there for forty years, fifty years,
and now they're suddenly told they've got to pay taxes,
they get different services, they got to go to different schools.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
How does that work?

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Do you got to pay back taxes now as a
Jefferson County resident since you thought you were in Oldham
County but now it's what a mess. I don't know
if it would be more or less depending on the county.
A bunch of rich people in Oldham County, so probably
would be with the less. These taxes were probably more
in Oldham County, so maybe they may owe them some
money if they make them Jefferson County residents.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
But no, and with school just starting right now, yeah right?
I mean, how does that deal with the kids that
have a lot of friends in the schools that they've
been growing up.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Just yank these kids out of school their senior year
or even if they're not seniors, Are you just going
to yank them out a week or two after school
starts and all of a sudden put them to Jefferson
County school I can't. I can't see that actually going through,
but that's what they're fighting right now, so it should
be interesting to see.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
What I think there's an appeals process right now that
those people can go through. But at the same time,
you know, I like your idea. Shannon grandfather and the
people that are already there. You want to buy a
new house in that area, you now become part of
that new.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
John Shorts up next.

Speaker 6 (32:19):
Good morning, John, come on here about the young gy man.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
You're a great American.

Speaker 6 (32:26):
I'f all going with the sports by they're doing Olden
County and Jeff, I think it's a bunch of communism.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
That's not good communism. You say, okay, John says it's communism.

Speaker 6 (32:34):
All right, Yeah it is, and we're gonna we're gonna
we're gonna win it. Talk and we're going to sweep Wisconsin.
Ficksburg and volleyball this weekend. I know we haven't talked
about that. Yeah, that's what we're going to do.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Yeah, we got some pre season volleyball.

Speaker 4 (32:48):
Good matchup.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
The season starts this weekend or is it still preseason?

Speaker 4 (32:52):
Well, the volleyball season.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
So these are like the kind of the fall like
the exhibition games though, right, yeah.

Speaker 6 (33:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but this season against real A lot
about this Friday. I taught her on the ESPN against Wisconsin.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
There you go, all right, John, thank you for the call.
We appreciate it. John Jarley, Ready for some volleyball. A
lot of people.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeah, I mean a lot of people thinking, you know, football,
basketball this time of year.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
John's thinking volleyball.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
Well, soccer has been going on right now, so fall
sports on full swing. I saw Jay Batt at the
first soccer game. He was rocking a retro Kentucky Wildcats
logo like rain gear that looked pretty good.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
So you know we're here. Football's right around the corner.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
Seventeen days away from Kentucky football versus Youngstown State.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Hey five nine and two twenty two eighty seven. Coming
up in the next segment, we got to talk about this.
There was a bear that broke into a Harlan County
woman's home. We've got to talk about that and a
few other things. If you want to jump in on
the final segment, let us give us a call. Five
nine two twenty two eighty seven. It is the KSR
pre Show. Final segment of the KSR pre Show. Tony

(33:57):
writs and it says, I'm one of these, but I've
lived in bullet Can for twenty five years. A week
before the May elections, we get to notice the county
line has moved. Used to be along my rear property line,
now it's in my front yard. Now we're in Spencer County.
According to the Bully County clerk, he said at the
moment we talked, he was only concerned about voters didn't
know what would happen with taxes, school, et cetera.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
And I feel for you something.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
You've been there resident for a while and now you're
just supposed to vote for different elected officials, and I'm
sure you don't feel a part of the community anymore.
So I'm sure it's really tough. Speaking of listener feedback,
Jane says, Okay, that's way incorrect. Billy volleyball season NCAA
is fall August through December, So that shows how much.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
I know about volleyball.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Even though Craig Skinner has been a guest on the
case our apprecial, it was on the.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Other day talking about how they you know, he was
pleased with how they looked and everything in the exhibition
games that they played, so anyway, and.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
Its floor that was a spring sport. But nevertheless, I'm
excited for the Wrigley matchup that they are.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
I'm going to be watching that too.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
I want to see, like, how how much, if at all,
or are we just over analyzing the wind and outside volleyball.
It's in the Windy City, after of all places, you
would think that would have some effect on it, right,
Like you know, if you just threw a basketball court
out there in the middle Wrigley Field, I would say
there would be some shots that would be altered by
the elements, you know, the wind.

Speaker 4 (35:20):
Oh yeah, no doubt.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Let's hope for an Etsy Witch can bless that day
with good weather, so we can you know, have a
good match and we can expand the game even more
so radio hosts can learn when the actual season is.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Did you see the story about the woman in Harlan
County that had this giant bear broke into her house,
ate her KFC and left. This bear just got it
came into a house way I understand in the story.
It was just a woman that lives by herself in
Harlan County. Her sister lives in the house right next
to her, and this bear came into the house. I

(35:55):
don't know if it had a key or how it
got in, but it went through the door. And they
say apparently bears can open doors, which is frightening. Did
you know that a bear can open a door or
a window? I guess if you leave it unlocked, it
can just open the door. I didn't know that was
a thing, but apparently it is.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
You know, I've seen him getting cars, but I don't
know if I've ever seen him open the actual door
to get in.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
This one allegedly opened the door, came in ate the
ladies left over KFC, because you know, sometimes you just
need some chicken Tendy's and some taters and gravy, and
helped himself. Didn't bother the lady at all, but he
did fall through her glass table, and the sister next
door said that she heard that it will cr up,

(36:36):
and she thought that it was a car crash. Meanwhile,
the woman who was in the house having her house
broken into by a bear slept through the entire thing,
which you got to be a deep sleeper if the
person that lives next door to you thought there was
a car crash. It was so loud, and the person
inside the house itself that's getting broken into doesn't even
not even phazed by it, which is a good thing.
Otherwise she could have been dessert for that bear AFC.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Whatever ran down to the living room and became the
meal after the KFC. But that's kind of my main
takeaway of the story is how do you not hear
the glass table shattering downstairs? Yeah, in the living room
of the house. I'm kind of the same way. I'm
a heavy sleeper. So like, we had somebody knock on
our door at one in the morning a few months ago,
and I had to be woken up to be told

(37:20):
that somebody was at the door.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
I didn't even hear him.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Who was there?

Speaker 4 (37:23):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Amazon?

Speaker 4 (37:24):
Nobody? Oh?

Speaker 2 (37:25):
Nobody. Well, I'm just saying if that was even worse,
if I hear glass.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
Breaking in the middle of the night, I mean, it's
to me, it's either a burglar or stone Colt Steve
Austin's coming in my house, and either way it's.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Not going to be good.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
What about this shake Shack story, I don't know if
you saw this. There's another video that that's gone viral.
While we're talking viral videos, a customer at Shakeshack claimed
that when he was ordering on the kiosk, you know,
Shakeshocks one of these places, now you got to go up,
you get to order on the kiosk, you get to
ring up yourself. Said that when he didn't tip because

(37:58):
at the end there's an option do you want to?
And I would say, well, what are you tipping for?
If I'm ringing up my own order, why am I tipping?
But the person that was in this video did no tip,
and then it came back and added fifty cents onto
every item that he had ordered, so they basically upcharged
him for not tipping.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
This video goes viral.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
Shake Shock then comes back and goes, no, we don't
upcharge if you don't tip. It was a computer malfunction,
it was a computer software error. I ask you, Billy,
do you believe shake shack or do you think that
shakeshack was trying to get away with some shady stuff
for people not tipping? And now they're backshocking and going no, no, no,
that's not our policy. It's just computer software issue that's sneaky.

(38:42):
Which side do you believe? Do you believe the customer
or do you believe shakeshack.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
That is super sneaky because you're expecting a little bit
more revenue, right, and then I guess you don't get
that when they don't tip, and then you go retroactively
back and change the prices.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
That cannot be the policy.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
You cannot change prices after you've already agreed to pay
for it. So I am almost siding on the Shakeshack
side here. Oh okay, you're on Shakeshack's acuter error because
we have not reached a level of entitlement where we
add money to the prices of things after somebody doesn't tip.

Speaker 4 (39:15):
I haven't gotten there yet.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
I don't know about that.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
I mean, I've told you how many times about the
Reds situation. You've had Matt's tickets to the Reds game.
That's the most egregious thing I've ever seen when it
comes to tipping. You literally go through, you pick out
your drink like you're at a gas station, right they
have them in cooler stand up coolers.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
You pick out your drink.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Then you go by and you pick up your your
popcorn or your hot dog or whatever you want that's
there in the window. Then you come around and you
wring yourself up on the kiosk. You swipe your own card,
You ring yourself up, just like you would be at
a Kroger self checkout. Then they have the audacity to go,
would you like to add a tip? What I literally
did all the work. Now, if you brought the drink

(39:58):
and the hot dog to my sea. The absolutely I
would tip you. But when I am getting up during
the middle of a game and missing the game and
going up and doing all the work myself, and then
you ask for a tip, like I should be tipping myself.
I should get like an employee discount for doing your job.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (40:15):
And the worker stands next to the kiosk to try
to start the process for you. They'll like kind of
hit the few buttons to get the screen going, and
I guess, like, I don't need your help.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
I can tap the screen to wake up the screen
to let it know that I'm about to wring myself up.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
Oh maybe the tips go to the cooks, right, You know,
those guys are making the food back there, and I
wouldn't mind tipping them every now and then. But you know,
sometimes they just lay out some chips and prepackaged cheese.
I don't know how much tipping they deserve.

Speaker 4 (40:42):
Yeah, they get so tough work there.

Speaker 5 (40:44):
You know.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
The shakeshock thing was at an airport you might remember
several years ago. I don't know if you were with
us then or not, but I was at an airport
at Lagrdiga and there was a sam Adams Summer l
It was just a bottle and they had it for
twenty eight dollars.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
And I'm going, there's no way this is right.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
So I take a picture of it, I post that
it goes viral, ends up in the New York Post
that Sam Adams was selling twenty eight dollars bottles.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Of beer at their airport.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
I'm going, all right, I believe them that, you know,
maybe this was an error. I'm not so sure that
I believe Shakeshak. I think that Shakeshak was trying to
do a little something something there, and.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
The airport beer is a necessity, right like it can
make your trip so much easier. It may help you
pass out and pass the time.

Speaker 4 (41:28):
But only eight bucks for a bottle.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
All of a sudden, that eight dollars cores light doesn't
seem so bad at all after twenty eight dollars, Sam Adams,
all right, KSRS coming up next, Billy's going to be
hosting that with us.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
And one more time, let me tell you. On DraftKings,
use the promo code KSR. Spend five, get one hundred
and fifty in rewards within fourteen days only on DraftKings
only with promo code KSR. Thanks for listening to the
pre show. We'll be back with you once again tomorrow KSRS. Next,
we'll talk to you later. Say it, don't forget to hydrate.
