Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show.

After traffic got the best of me yesterday and we
had the KSR Golf Scramble in Louisville, got to hang
out with Shannon the Dude for maybe an hour or
(00:44):
so before he had to leave to do his other
afternoon radio stuff. Good morning, dude, how are you well?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
First of all, I just want to say it's good
to see that you could show up today.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Glad you could be here today with us.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I'm here and you know you could have hung out
with me longer if you'd been there maybe thirty minutes earlier,
like you know, when the show started, So I've been
there with me for much longer. But yeah, had fun
yesterday at the scramble. For the time that I was there,
you hung out to the end. I guess who won
the thing.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I did not hang out until the end. I left
about five o'clock Matt got finished, was at the ESPN show.
I picked up the equipment and left. But it did
go on a little bit longer. I know Mario lost
his bag for a while, so he was searching for that.
He was there till like seven eight o'clock looking for
that bag. Yeah, lost his bag.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It sounded like to me somebody got into the bourbon
shots too early.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Well, yeah, whiskey, the whiskey thief Lemonade. We may have
made a stop to that whole a couple of times.
And you were with us when we went over to
Burnt Tavern to see them as well. Had some good
whiskey there. But Stockton mortgage man, they had the setup.
I don't know if anybody saw the pictures of where
we were sitting at at eighteen for a while, but
(01:52):
there was fake olive trees. There was an umbrella, there
was a fag.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
There was were fake Oh I actually picked an olive
often ate it. It was you did little rubbery, but it
was not.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
It was digestible.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Importing the fake olive trees to the kids. Our golf
scramble was a first and so. And we had great
weather yesterday and it looks like we've got great weather
again today, Shannon. As we che closer to football season,
you can almost feel the crispness in the air.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Yeah, starting to cool off a little bit. I'm good
with that.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Actually popped the window open last night some free ac.
You gotta love it when it gets down into like
the sixties at night, you can, you know, just pull
the window up a little bit and enjoy that. So, yeah,
it definitely falls. It feels like football seasons here. So
we'll get it going this weekend, just a few days
away from it all starting.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Maybe pop the top off here soon, Shannon on the jeep.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Oh yeah, well that's already happened. That happens all throughout
the summer.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah good.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, at least the front part.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I can't get the back part off because it's all
attached to the windows.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
You gotta have.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
It's a two person job because if you drop that,
the wind shields and everything will break.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
The windows will break.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
So you know, it's one of those things where you
get the front part off.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
But not the back.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
It's cheap. Season. You got a rubber duck, make sure
you use it in the next month or so. As
we're only eleven days away from Kentucky football, we'll talk
a little Kentucky football today. I wanted to touch on
the comments of Liam Cohen and how disappointed he was
and how much he regretted coming to Kentucky back in
twenty twenty three. I've got some thoughts on that and
much more on the way today. Give us call eight
(03:17):
five nine two eight zero two two eight seven. I
want to pose a question to you, Shannon, because I
have to go to two housewarming parties this week. I've
got one tonight and then one Saturday. I got one,
say Matt Jones, and so I need to know what
is a good housewarming gift. What do you think is
appropriate to bring over when you Chris in a house
(03:38):
for the first time. Is it just a bottle of
wine and like a like a cutting board or something
like that, or.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
You got to know your audience.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
First of all, do you think Matt would have any
use for a bottle of wine or a cutting board?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
No? Actually, now that I think of it, neither would
be a good gift.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You know what he would have more used for would
be an air filter, Okay, and maybe to change it
exactly totial on how to change your air filter. You
kind of just find a little spot where it goes,
you pull it out, and you slide the other one in.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
It's that simple.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
But I feel like those are a little life lessons
that is the great I was telling Matt yesterday during
the break, I said, you know, this is a great thing.
It's like you're just now becoming an adult. It's like
he became an adult last week or whatever, like whenever
you bought the house a couple weeks ago. Because now
he's learning all these Oh yeah, did you know you
got to water the flowers to keep them alive?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I do know that These are things I do every
day in my house.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Did you know you get yeah, look at this security camera,
Like yep, it's nice to have a security camera that
I can see.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Myself going out and taking the trash out. I'm like Yep.
I've had one of the you have to.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Put the trash on the streets, yeah, I mean they
come and pick it up.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, Like ye've been doing that for about fifteen twenty
years now, but he's just now experiencing all this stuff
as a homeowner for the first time.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
The air filter one got me when I first started
living on my own. You know, I wasn't really aware
that I had to do that on my own, but
I ended up doing it, Shannon, and now I'm familiar
with the whole process, and that's something you want to
change actually pretty often, right, Like it's something that could
be a fire hazard, but maybe like a quality candle
or something on hand that would fit our guy a
(05:10):
little bit more. I think he loves candle lighting board,
charcooterie board or something like that. I don't think he
would get into that very much, but I did get
to stop by the other day when I helped him
get connected for one of his ESPN shows, And dude,
it's a nice place. We're gonna have a good time
on Saturday. Let's just hope the everybody can control themselves.
Maybe the whiskey Thief lemonade will keep that at the
KASR golf Scramble. Won't bring that over on Saturday, but
(05:33):
you'll be there.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Right, Yeah, that's the plan.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I will I will be there and we're going to
hang out and probably watch some football since we get
week zero coming out on zero, that's right.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I think we're going to go to the fair together
on Friday as well.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Okay, you actually you are actually going to commit to
coming out to the fair on Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Know You've got to be out there so you know,
we have not been able to go since we haven't
had a show there this week, so yeah, I want
to go out there and and look, let's talk to
that guy.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
That his name Freddy, Freddie Farbureau.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I gotta go say hi to Freddy.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, see how he's been See what he's been up
to for the past year, since you haven't talked to
him since the last state Fair.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
That's right. All the kids will have a chaperone as
you have to be over a certain age to go
to the fair after a certain time now, which I
think they've been doing for years now. But yeah, and
it's good that we have these kids a little real
den now instead of just running around doing.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Just have rugrats having the run of the whole place,
so exactly, that's right.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Now, have you ever been to the ball and seen
somebody with a kid on a leash?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Because of course, what are you talking about.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, kid on the leash is commonplace at the Kentucky
State Fair.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You know, back in the day, we used to have.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Our own booth set up out there at the State Fair,
which I don't know why we stopped doing that, but
we would be out there broadcasting live and we would
sit there for hours and hours on end, and I
think it was the South Wing, and we would sometimes
get so bored we would create our own State Fair
bingo card. So like, kid on a Leash was definitely
one of the spots. Kid on a leash, check, mullet check,
(07:01):
big Johnson shirt check.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
You know, back when those were a thing.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Even when they weren't, people still wearing them, you know,
twenty years later at the state fairs. So yeah, State
Fair bingo was always a thing, and kid on a
Lease was definitely one of those things.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
You would say, well, it is definitely prime people watching, right,
I mean, you could go to Bourbon and Beyond and
Louder than life and see some things that you will
not see anywhere else. But I think consistently every year
the Fair has just become that spot, whether it be
remember the guy in the Trump stuff that would come
and disrupt our show every single year.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Oh yeah, no, no, we already got pictures tweeted to
us that he.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Was at it again this show.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
He was there already back Yeah, okay, good.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I don't know whatever came of that, but he was
out there this year, so he's probably looking for us
and he disappointed he didn't see KSR, so then he
turned around and left.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Probably. Yeah, he was always a staple at those shows.
So we'll do that on Friday. Maybe I'll get you
to get on the Himalaya or some Himalaya.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I can handle that.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
The one I've never done but I've kind of wanted
to do is the zero gravity one, like the little
spaceship looking thing or you stand there but I don't
think you're strapped in or anything, and it just goes
around really really fast and you're just like sucked into
the wall.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh yeah, yeah, I've I've actually been on that one,
maybe more recently than you. People are trying to move
all that thing's.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Going and oh yeah, how is that safe? I guess
gravity does is any of those things? Say, gravity does
its thing on that one, right? But what if what
if it doesn't?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Just what if gravity doesn't work?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I don't know. I guess I can trust gravity in
that situation. I just don't trust the person operating it.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I feel like it's going to come to the complete
stop very quickly and then everybody's going to just fall
into the ground.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Well, well we'll do something like that, and then you know,
the hand breakfast. I don't know if it'll be the
day that we're there or whatnot.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Has that not already happened? The hand breakfast, whether you
sell the hand?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
The KSAR pre show has a reporter that is added
every year. Yeah, tries to give us the price live
on the ears, though I haven't heard any updates from
him or have seen a headline yet, So I got
to think that ham hasn't been sold yet.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Okay, all right, Well we'll keep you updated on that
because we know that everybody cares about how much the
ham sells for.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
So let me let let's go back for a second.
Because our guy Shannon the Dude was a college athlete.
I was a three sports star, but it kind of
ended around high school. Shannon was the one that played
in college for Lindsay Wilson and Bellerman. But Shannon, you
were a good boy. You went to class. You you
know you you passed your classes, right, You were never
academically ineligible in any time in your career. You know
(09:36):
that's not easily said with every other athlete across the country,
especially with these maybe sham classes that maybe you get
a little bit of a different test than the normal
student does. But you took a stand yesterday for kids
still going to classes. And I'm not gonna say I
disagree with you, Shannon. I feel like there it does
seem to need to be still an element of higher
(09:59):
learning institution going on with college sports, and maybe there
isn't with this conversation lately.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
For me, like saying that you don't care if athletes
pass a class is a wild take to me, Like, okay,
you don't care. Well, then, basically what we were talking
about yesterday on KSR, the guys we're saying, well, wait,
we don't care if they go to class or not. Well,
I don't necessarily care if they go to class, But
I think you should still have to pass the class
(10:25):
and make the grade because it is college sports. By definition,
college that means school. Now, you know they were talking about, well,
you know, maybe they shouldn't have to go to class
and shouldn't even have to take classes at all.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
What you're describing is something that already exists. It's called
the G League.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I mean, if you want that, then you're just creating
basically a minor league for football and a minor league
for basketball and every other sport. But yeah, I mean,
if you're going to go to college and represent the university,
you should have to make the grades. I mean, like,
if they're not there class every day, I don't care,
but you should still have the pass. And what about
all these guys that go for five years? You know,
(11:03):
they're making all this nil money.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Which is great. What happens when they blow through it all?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
They're not going to the NBA, they're not going to
the NFL, they're not going to the Major League Baseball.
And now they didn't take any classes, so they have
no education.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
So what are you gonna do? Get a job at Walmart?
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
You have no college degree to even show for if
you don't take classes.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
That's kind of the point I'm hitting on. You know,
I think a lot of people are shortsighted. They want
to make as much money as possible, right with the
NIL and getting that fifth year of eligibility, which I'm
sure we'll talk about more today. But not all these
guys become professional athletes, right, even if you do have
a cup of coffee in the league, or you go
play overseas for a few years in basketball, there is
(11:45):
still a lot of life to be lived, and maybe
a lot of these people are forgetting it. But are
we foolish to think that this is not something that's
been the norm for all these years?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Oh, I'm sure it has.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, you got tutors, you know, North Carolina creating fake
classes and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
So, I mean it's been happening for a while. But
now it's just now we're getting guys from the G
League or being cut from an NFL team that are
coming back to college, right, and people look at their
sports management class that they have to go to on
eight am on a Tuesday like that is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I just think it's wild to have the idea of
thinking that you could just go represent a university as
an athlete but not take the classes and not even
go to school at all, not even have to.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Make a grade. I think that's I think that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
It's the minor leagues at that point.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Then why even affiliate yourself with the school at all?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
If you're not going to school, why you even affiliate
yourself with how you're going to represent Kentucky the University
of Kentucky, but you don't.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Even go to school. You didn't go.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
They need the revenue, right like they need the revenue
that you helped bring in. So look, I mean, I
think when we have this conversation, we're talking about the
elite of the elite, right, and it's probably just even
a few sports like a football or basketball, you know.
I think for the most part, you see athletes of
other sports, smaller sports that don't bring in as much revenue,
go to class and still strive for academics. But when
(13:06):
you're bringing in millions, hundreds of millions of dollars in
these television deals, it's like, is it really important if
they go to their eight am class that next time? Like?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Do I care right now? If Malacamreno is in his class.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
But do I think that he should still pass the
class or make a GPA that's you know, respectable and
at least past whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
The minimum was to be eligible, Then yeah, I do.
I do think that. I think that matters, and if
you don't, I do too.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
But college has become the minor league for professional sports
for the lack of a better term. You said it,
Shannon Leer, that is, it has just become that gateway
to the next level. And now you have the chaos
of what's going on at it school like LSU right
now many I don't know how they're going to have
a basketball roster with some of the guys that they're
bringing in waiting on some court decisions, and and even
football too as they try to bring on an old
(13:55):
miss tight end who was just cut by the Browns.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Like, I don't know, crazy players. It's just it's wild, man,
it really is. We went from like being way too
strict with rules. You remember guys that were getting in
trouble for getting a sandwich hand it to them for
free and yeah, violation. Yeah, yeah, who is it? I
think Festus is Zelee at Vanderbilt got in trouble because
(14:18):
somebody handed him a free chocolate chip cookie and he
had to like set out a game like this is
this is absurd. So we went from that absurdity to
the absurdity of what's going on now where you get
guys that you know, guys that are going to the
NFL and then coming back and then it's it's just
there's no rules at all. It's gone from one one
end of the spectrum to the other and there's no
(14:39):
in between.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
But I don't know how you put that thing back
in the bottle for the saying that I'm looking for here, Like,
I don't know how you ever returned to what it was.
You can't right after you.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Stop pay for play, man, Like if you could stop
pay for play. That's not what NIL was ever intended
to be, at least not my understanding of it. My
understanding of it was, Billy, if you go play for
the University of Kentucky and we're gonna sell a thousand
jerseys and it's got Rutledge on the back of it,
you're gonna get a cut of that. If you go
do autograph signings, you're gonna get You're gonna make the
(15:09):
money off that if we do a video game and Billy,
our sports is in it, you're gonna get your percentage
of it. But what it's become is something completely different
than that.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Is.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Okay, Billy, we got two point one million dollars here
for you. We're gonna offer that you just come here
and play. That's it and no questions asked to sign
on the dotted line yea. Make sure you're taken care of.
And that's where they went wrong in my opinion, Like
if you just had NIO, which is name, image, likeness,
then it literally was those three things and you had
to work for it, then that that makes sense. But
(15:39):
this whole payer play We're gonna give you five million
dollars to come play here, is ridiculous and that's where
it got completely out of hand in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
He menshe, I hope you don't miss your classes, but
we did pay you millions of dollars to come here
and win games.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
YEP.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I think ultimately, in the eyes of many people, that's
more important than if you pass your sports management class.
But I agree with you, and there still should be
some degree of you are in college. There is something
more than just the next five years of your life
in playing a professional sport. But that is only uh,
I guess the tip of the top. Right we're talking
(16:13):
about SEC programs. We're talking about the best of the best.
But I'm glad I'm not in school anymore. I'll just say, oh,
I want to be I would want to be in school.
What are you talking about me?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I could go back be an athlete and make millions
of dollars, probably not being a Bellerman baseball player, but
I you know, if I was in middle school right now,
I would be out shooting basketball every single day for
like ten hours a day, just so I could get
to the port where I could, you know, point where
I could make millions of dollars in nil But.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Then you only have online classes as you do that,
and then you're not set up for anything post you're
playing days. I think that's just a that's a weird
conundrum a lot of kids find themselves in right now.
Eight five nine two eight oh two two eight seven.
We'll say we're going to talk a little bit more
Kentucky football today. The SEC eighties and presidents are meeting
in Birmingham over the next two days, and they released
a statement yesterday and Kirk Crias is playing pick up
(17:03):
basketball in Lexington. My man was by the FBI.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
He's not concerned at all, is he? He might as
well does live his life and you know, enjoy the
freedom while he has it. Like, what would you do
if you were facing charges and you knew it didn't
look good for you? Would you be cooped up in
your house because you're about to be cooped up in
prison for a long time that's true. Or would you
go out and just like go play pick up basketball
and do the things you enjoy while you still can.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I'd probably go touch grass. That's what I do since
I was gonna be in a prison cell, me touch
a lot of concrete. Do you think he could be
playing our Media Madness team? You think he would be
available to play on the KSR team? Maybe it's worth asking.
We'll see, I guess as long as he doesn't try
to scam anybody will.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
KSR has no epics at all.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
No, we're here to win. We're not going to class. Yeah,
it's all about when. And on that note, we'll take
a break. We'll be right back here on the KSR
Welcome Back Tuesday edition of the KSR Pre Show. The
gravitron is what they call the zero gravity Spinning Fair Ride.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Shannon, is that the name of it? Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
One person says it would always turn upside down when
they got into that.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Now that would be no, wait a minute, I think
we're talking about two different things here. I'm talking about
the thing that looks like a spaceship. You go inside of.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
It and you get on the wall and you kind
of like get pushed against the wall.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Because the gravity, it turns upside down.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
No, this person's saying they just turn upside down while
they're in there. Wow, Okay, a little bit more funky
your old person. Speaking of State Fair bingo. My cousins
and I used to go to a car shows a
lot and they would tie a dollar bill to a
fishing line pole and accidentally drop it amongst the crowd
and wait for someone to pick it up to see
(18:42):
how far they could reel them in.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
That's great, almost got you gotta be quicker than that.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Remember that commercial?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, oh yeah, we did poop dollar back in the
day in college. That was a fun one. Glued a
quarter to the ground one time, but nobody it's kind
of harder to get people to pick up change anymore, Shannon, Nobody,
nobody really cares about the change anymore.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
We did that to my roommate.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
We glued all this change to his desk, like, oh yeah,
this whole thing at change. We glued like everything that
he had to the desk.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
See, that's infuriating. I can't get away from that. That's
just in my face. I can't get these coins off
my desk. That's that's a little evil from you, a Shannon.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Don't fall asleep early.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
That's yeah, you're the guy. Don't pass out with your
shoes on around your sheddon He's gonna put pain on
your face or something. Let's take our first call today.
Cooper is on the line. Good morning, Coopering.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Yeah, yeah, I gotcha. Hey U.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
So I always want to talk about the whole academic situation.
I was listening to the show on podcasts from yesterday,
and I was also kind of shocked to hear Matt
talk about doesn't really think athletes should be going to class.
I'm not necessarily worried about the athletes right now in college.
(20:07):
I think it more of the youth, the high school kids,
you know, getting into that mindset of a, Oh, academics
don't matter, you know, like them starting to get to
the mindset like, oh, you know, I shouldn't really worry
about grades. You know, I'm gonna go try to go
to the league. But in reality, they're not really gun
in the.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
League, you know, Yeah, I mean only a small percentage
we're talking about actually make it.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
What about everybody else that does not? You know, you
don't you know, I.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Kind of yeah, sorry, you know, I kind of look
at the phrase of you know, you could you can
lead a horse to water, but it ain't get to
drink it. You can tell kids that they're not gonna
go to the league, but they're still going to try
and pursue that that dream of going to the league
or anything like that. So but and then also, I
(20:54):
think it's only going to lead to Matt's biggest fear
of us just having a really on AI stuff because
all the kids, you are going to be dumb.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Well, yeah, if they're not worried about class. Thanks for
the call, Cooper. We appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Thank you, Cooper.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
You're gonna have guys that you know, played five years
and made some money, but they can't even read a book.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah, are you too worried about your Instagram page and
you know the nil deal that's gonna make you a
quick buck than you are. Education in a career that
you're gonna have to go to after your playing days. Right,
here's another saying that I'm gonna butcher like you can.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
What.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
You can feed somebody a fish and they'll eat that night,
but then you teach them to fish in and they
can feed their family the rest of their life.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Is that? That one? Is that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I don't know if that's the right way to say it,
but you you know the point here.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Okay, Yeah, I think I know, I think I know
what you're saying. Maybe you need to You.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Got to teach them how to fish. You can't just
give them a fish every single time, right, that's true,
And they're gonna be on their own. They're not gonna
know how to get the fish, that's right.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
You can get some big fish over there at Draft
Kings Sports, but PROMOSR you can probably bet on fishing.
I don't know if you can, but if it's possible,
it's there for you. And then you can use the
promo code KSR Spin five get one hundred and fifty
and rewards with week zero coming up. It's all there
for you on DraftKings promo code KSR Gambling problem wanting
one hundred gambler twenty one plus Kentucky only let the

(22:17):
a bonus bets issued every seven days be a click

Traditional terms are responsible gaming resources. The sportsbook Draft Kings
dot Com slash promos limited time offer back to you bill,
Well done.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Dude, All right, I'll just time.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
We'll take a break more on the way. Yeah, I
was close enough. Give a man a fish, you feed
him for a day. Teach a man how to fish,
you feed him for a lifetime.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
It's all the fish run out.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I mean sometimes the fish run out and then you
can't get What if you can't catch the fish that day?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
What if the farmers all come back next day? Families
gotta eat, Well, you're not eating that day. You can't fail.
The one person on the text line said they learned
that from Wilson on Home Improvement, a philosopher that we
should all listen to more often.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
There you go. Do you know how to fish.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yes, yeah, I'm from floor, so I did a little
fishing in my day.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Can you bait a hook?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I can, Yeah, I can tie one fishing knot. But
I think that's all I need, right, is one knot.
You don't need a double knotted No, no, no, there's
no double knotting on a fishing knot. Now, we saw
Mark pulpego fishing for the first time in his bucket
hat and his big smile. We enjoyed that and on
his recruiting trip, maybe you can go on the next one. Dude.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
It's a lot easier just to take a cattle prod
and stick it in the water and just zap all
the fishing.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Okay, it's not the Simpsons. Okay, we can't just do
that and then get the fish. It's about the piece
of it all. Oh, you get some squid or some
night crawlers, good old bait. That sounds like you do
a lot of fishing, a whole lot.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
It's been a while. It's been a while.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, me too, But we are only eleven days away
from Kentucky football. Let's talk about some football topics here
for a second, Shan before we talk about the Kentucky Wildcats.
The Old Miss NIL director sat on a podcast a
couple of days ago that the FBI searched their football
offices for recording devices after Lane Kiffin left for the
LSU job. You think that's an overreaction or a smart
(24:04):
move by Old Miss after their coach left for their
SEC rival.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
So now you're telling me that they think that there
was recording devices Lane left by Lane Kiffn.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Or yes, correct?
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yeah, yeah, I don't Why would he have them though?
Why would Lane Kiffn have those?
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Well, I guess you could listen in on the strategy
that they're going to have, and so I mean that's
why you would plant a recording device, right, So a
team paranoid?
Speaker 7 (24:31):
To me?
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Did youv searching for something like that?
Speaker 6 (24:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Did Do you not think that?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
No? I do. I think that's crazy. I love this headline.
As we get closer to football season, the SEC continues
to be a headline maker. But then you have Old
Miss sweeping the office for recording devices because they think
Lane's left one. I think it is absurd.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
That is that is extremely paranoid.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Yeah, like they think that on his way out, Lane
Kevin just set up a recorder which by the way.
I mean, it's going to run out of tape eventually,
right where it's going to run out of a battery
or unless you get it, unless you get it hardwired
in somehow.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, and what were you doing, honest in twenty twenty
six one transponder and how much storage it has?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I think you're giving Link giving way too much credit
if you think you went through that much trouble.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I think so. But Ole miss was the paranoid one.
They swept their offices, did not find any but goes
to show you how people are thinking in the sec
right now. Also in the football world, Kentucky had their
Louisville Kickoff luncheon yesterday at Churchill Downs, where Jay Batt
and will Stein spoke to many members of the Big
Blue Nation, and there was a quote there, Shannon and
(25:36):
I wanted to share with you. This one comes from
will Stein. He says, quote, I think the people in
this room are a part of our team. We were
all on the same team. So the louder you cheer,
the longer you stay, the better opportunities we have to win.
Think about it like that. Don't think about the scoreboard
or the time left. Regardless, we are all in together.
We all have to go out there, we all have
(25:56):
to perform. And so that's what I'm asking these people
in this room and then and your friends, your family, man,
stand up, be loud. Somebody tells you to sit down,
that you're ruining their view, tell them to stand up.
Let's get on our feet and make some noise. That
quote from will Stein might be used from some people
inside Kroger Field when somebody tells them to sit down
(26:16):
and they're cheering a little too much. Love it.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Yeah, you know, we always have that debate.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
It feels like on the show, somebody's calling in saying, well,
I was standing up the whole time and I was
told to sit down, And you know, there was a
whole argument that went on.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Stand up if you can.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Now, you know, there's always extraordinary circumstances where somebody can't
stand up. I get that, and that case you should
be respectful to that person. But otherwise, if you're able
to stand up, you should be standing the entire time.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
You're not out of play.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
You're at a sporting event, football game, you had a
football game.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Stand up, be loud, support the team. I'm all for it.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
And basketball too, you know, rep arena needs to be
a place where people fear going to, not just a
museum that is a nice place to play until the
final three men and people to get in.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Some of those fans that they're like they're at a
movie theater. They're about to watch, I don't.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Know, playing golf clap after a nice play. Yeah, no
standing up and cheering, which they need to do more of.
So I like that from will Stein, absolutely and Shannon.
A new study finds that forty two percent of Americans
believe that airplane passenger etiquette is getting worse. Yeah, over
the last five years.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
You're part of it.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Your number one complaint is noise. Actually, forty percent of
people surveyed believed that phone calls should be banned on
an airplane. Do you agree with that?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Well, I don't know about you, but I can't make
a phone call on my airplane with my phone service.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Do you do you have the type of service where
you can call somebody on a plane?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Well, like you know, I switch on to airplane mode.
Not everybody does. There are people that are making phone calls.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Which, by the way, is the airplane mode?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Is that is that just like a myth because I
know not everybody on that plane.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Is well, that's not a thing.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Any switched it over airplane moding. Yeah, but what would
happen if I didn't switch over to airplane mode? Would
the plane just fall out of the sky and crash?
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Like?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I wouldn't want to find out, So I did it,
you know, just in case. But I've always wondered, what
if I switched it out of airplane mode? What is
really going to happen? Like, have you ever heard of
anything in the news about a plane crashing because not
everybody had an airplane mode?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
No, But I know the point just it just straight
crashes the plane. Dude. I think it messes with the
communication between the tower and the plane, and you know
your phone call might be affecting it. I don't think
it does anymore. Let me be clear, as we talk
about something, we don't know what we're talking about.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Well, welcome to the show.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You know, Marissa was on her phone right up until
we were in the air, and then it just ended
up shutting off and not working. The plane still went on,
So I gotta think that's been antiquated. But not only
has noise the number one complaint reclining seats. The second
biggest complaint. Going barefoot has become a growing trend on airplanes,
which is foul. There's no or foul in this instance.
(29:01):
Do not take your socks off or your cross and
do not be well.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
First of all, I don't even wear crocs.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
And secondly, do not be leaning back in somebody's lap
like Billy does. He doesn't even care. He leans back,
He goes. You know what, this chair was made to
lean back, So I'm gonna lean it back all the
way as far back as I possibly can. And you're
laying in the lap of a stranger behind you don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I might turn around and ask you if it's okay
that I lean back, and I'm going to say no,
I might do it anyway exactly.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
See, that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Eleven percent of respondents say the middle seat should get
both arm rests. It feels really low for the middle
seat who gets nothing.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
That sounds like somebody who habitually will book the middle seat,
saying that I should get the both sides of the.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Arm You get both arm rests, and if you're in
the middle.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Seat, yeah, I think you get a little bit of both.
You know, you get a bit of it.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
You don't get like the back of the arm right, well,
you get it, I don't know, split it front and back.
I split it right down the middle, side to side,
so you get part of it.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Oh you do sides? Yeah, you're like on the inside.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I will go ahead and claim my part of it.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
And then as long as you don't mind brushing your
arm up against my hairy arm, then we'll sit there
and we'll hold hands. I guess, I don't know, but yeah,
that's part of it when you're in the middle seat.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Well, my biggest pet peeve on the airlines is and
the people agree with me. Sixty five percent of the
people polled believe passengers should wait ticket off the plane.
There is no instance in which you rush up when
the plane lands. The unbelt unbuckle seat belt sign goes
off and people start getting up already, Dude, we're at
the back of the plane. Yeah, you got nowhere to go.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Well, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
A lot of it though, for me is just I
got to stand up because my back is killing me
and I don't want to wait another five minutes. I
need to stand up right now. But I'm with you,
like you're not going anywhere, Like, where do you think
you're going? That's what happens every time though the plane lands,
everybody from the front all the way to the back.
People are standing up, you know, think they're going to
get off that plane.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
When they have a connecting flight they have to get to.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
I understand, so does everybody else. You're not more important all.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
We're all in our own world, right. We all got issues.
We're all trying to figure out where we're going to
go next. And in that instance, that's why we find
ourselves on the same page. I mentioned some football stories.
I wanted to play a little audio for you of
chai Is Pete, the former Kentucky offensive lineman. Don't know
if you've heard his locker room speech after his six
snaps with the Cowboys the other day, but look, it's
(31:18):
a big deal. The Navajo Nation has never had a
player sign an NFL contract. Pete became the first, and
he had quite the party of people there at the
game to watch. I enjoyed the Cowboys coach Schottenheimer's moments
here and shay Is Pete what he had to say.
I want to play that for you. Let's go.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
I saw something and I've never seen before twenty five
years in the NFL an entire section cheering for one man.
Speaker 7 (31:52):
Well, that was an incredible win. Now, I am very
fortunate to be amongst you and to play in the
same field where the same for the same star holding
on our chest. And I'm proud of us, proud of
how far we've come. Man, this game, Fate brought us
(32:14):
here a strangers, but this game the star, This team
will make us brothers.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Another saying here on the pre show this morning, Fate
brought us together as strangers, but this team will leave
us as brothers. The star, the star will bring us together.
The Dallas Cowboys Star. Pretty dramatic from Pete, But what
we learned last year was that this guy has an
awesome personality and can galvanize a group like that. So
(32:44):
cool to see Pete hopefully has some success.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
In the at the next level here, Dan, Well, he's
certainly making a quick impact. I mean, is anybody that
you don't even know is going to make the team
made that big of an impact on a team in
an exhibition game?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Yeah, breaking down the lost and do you is.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
There anyway he makes the team based off of just vibes,
vibes and who he is.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
I mean, I don't think that that's how it works
in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
But wouldn't you have a hard time though, just cutting
that guy, especially after that big speech.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
And that was the coach that was speaking at first, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, that was the coach that brought him in to
say that, you know, and I believe he didn't play
that much in the game, but it was the fans
support that they saw. Everybody, every workplace has a personality
higher right, there's there's somebody.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah, but do you when you're an NFL team, you
can bring a guy in because he's got a good attitude,
good work ethic.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
But in the NFL, you either have results or you don't.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Yeah, the football peerist mind would say, I need three
deep at every position. I can't afford to have somebody
just be a personality higher on, can't give sympathy higher right,
But can he just be the locker room pump up guy?
Like can he signed the rookie minimum and then just
be the guy that talks in the wad?
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (34:00):
So I'm pulling for the guy.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Obviously, big personality and uh seems like a great dude,
But I don't know how far that takes you in
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Well, we're rooting for him.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
You know, the NFL season is almost here as well,
so those cuts will be coming soon and hopefully he
makes the roster and all the Kentucky Wildcats find success
at this next level. Let's take another call here, dude,
Adam is up next? Eight five nine two A two
two eight seven. What's up? Adam?
Speaker 6 (34:26):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (34:27):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (34:27):
Guys?
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Two things? One the h the airplane thing.
Speaker 6 (34:38):
But what.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Adam? You there? You're still there, Adam?
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Adam?
Speaker 1 (34:51):
All right, Well we should ban his phone calls too,
as long as I don't know the airplane.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Maybe he couldn't hear us. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
But yeah, you're really part of the blame for this, this
new study that says.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Why well, because you're part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
As I said, you're the one the guy who comes
on the airplane, and you're the guy that nobody wants
to sit next to or or behind because they know
what you're gonna do. They know you're gonna recline, Well
they don't. They probably don't know, but they're gonna find
out once you get on there and do it well.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
They say that reclining their seats is the second biggest
issue that people have with the behavior of passengers over
the last five years. But fifty one percent of people
say it is acceptable to recline your seat in economy
only if you check behind first So, I mean there
is maybe like an etiquette there.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
You need about first class is what you need to do?
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Well, I can't please first class and you want to
give out of another first class? Adam? Are you back
with us? Oh?
Speaker 6 (35:52):
Hear me?
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Oh yeah, we got you, Adam. Let's try it again.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
Awesome. Yeah. The cell phone thing on an airplane, think
if somebody flipping their phone onto airplane or off of
airplane mode would crash the plane, that they would allow
cell phones on.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
A plane exactly.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
That's my exactly my argument. There's no way, So then
what's the whole thing?
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Woul you know?
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Make sure they still say that, by the way, like
I flew a couple of months ago, make sure your
phone is in airplane mode at least they.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Do lead I guarantee, guarantee, guarantee to have the plane
has their phone off off of airplane mode using their phone,
and you know, we have the safest air traffic that
there's ever been, so I don't think that's the thing. Also,
as far as players going to class, I'm totally on board,
(36:42):
saying like it is college, Like you've got to go
for a reason. If not, just go to you know,
some minor league system and and make your money there to.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
The go to the XFL. I mean, that's kind of
my argument.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
If you're going to represent the school, you should have
to go to class or at least have to make
the grades.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
Absolutely totally on board, so you guess, all right, thank.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
You, all right, I appreciate thank you, Adam. Cell phones
emit signals that can theoretically interfere with crucial aircraft safety
sensors like radar and stuff like that. So there you go.
That's there's AI's answer of why you would turn your
airplane mode on when you're in an airplane.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Well, if you're on like a big, reputable brand a airplane,
then maybe not. But when you're flying allegiant where anything
could happen, just in case, I think I'm gonna put
it on airplane mode.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Yeah, just in.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Case, because I don't want to be that guy that
didn't do it. And they're going, well, we're operating on
planes from nineteen seventy four, and uh, we need to make.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Sure those things.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Yeah, you better turn that airplay mode off exactly for
the safety of everybody. We'll take a break, be right
back here on the KSR Appreciow. I'm back. It's our
final segment of the KSR pre Show. We'll hand it
off to Matt and KSR from ten to noon Shanon.
Before we do, we got to wish a couple special
happy birthdays. One to our unforgettable Richie Farmer, who it
(38:00):
is finally his birthday now, who was trying to wish
him a birthday the other day. Me.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Okay, I said number text happy birthday five days before
and he goes, it's not my birthday. I went, well,
a happy birthday anyway, you know, happy early birthday. You're
on top of it. Yeah, come in to commandment. You
get one coming up, right, who me? Yeah, like in
May so happy birthday? Yeah, may tell you early. Yeah,
yours is coming up sooner than that.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
And then our guy Corey Price has a birthday today.
That is the guy that wishes everybody a happy birthday.
So I want to give a big happy birthday to
Corey and thank you for what you do listening to
the show, sending us funny photos. And of course he'll
be in the booth with Tom Leach and Jeff Pecora
here in just a few days.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Yeah, he's the type of guy that can find pictures
of you that you didn't even know existed.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
I look at this and I go, this is this? AI,
how did you find that picture?
Speaker 1 (38:49):
And always like when you're a child too. I finally
made it into the newspaper and then Corey is able
to find that photo. So happy birthday to our guys
Corey and Ritchie. Before we take one more phone call,
one person on the text line said, I don't think
men should be allowed to wear shorts on an airplane.
I don't want your hairy legs next to me.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
What a strange take.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
You don't think you should be allowed to wear shorts
at all on a plane?
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Come on, No, I'm not gonna be this. But you know,
back in the day, everybody used to wear suits when
they got on a plane. But that's they would wear.
Men would wear suits everywhere they went. You look at
baseball pictures from way back in the day. Everybody at
the baseball game is wearing a suit, which men that
had to be hot.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Oh at the baseball suit, it'd be hot in the airplane. Yeah,
the Fedora, Oh yeah, it had the whole went the
whole nine yards. Now, No, I think you should wear
shorts in the workplace, Like if you go to work
in an office, do you think you should wear shirts?
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Well, I mean, am I in an office right now? Technically?
Technically yeah, okay, I've got shorts on right now.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Well, I am in an office as well, and I
have shorts on. But we also don't have a real job.
We play make believe on the radio every day.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
I'm not I went out trying to sell things either, right,
But like, would it be bad form for a salespersons
depends on if you had a tie on. If you
look like Angus Young from ac DC, you know you
would always wear like the.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Uh are you gonna go tie in shorts? Because I
don't know if.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
I like that, like the shorts on, right, you had
the tie on the shirt, it's semi formal.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
I do think probably most people should wear pants in
the workplace, but I can't. I can't throw stones standing
as I sit here in my Jim shorts. But othertheless,
let's let's take one more call before we get out here.
Jerry is up next. What's up, Jerry?
Speaker 6 (40:37):
Yes? Or uh? Fair or foul? Yesterday evening, my wife
and I was watching w g r UH the sports,
and it wasn't them, I think they was running the
real for somebody else. And the guy was sitting a
little table with will Stein and he was interviewing him.
In his left hand his phone and while we's talk,
while he was talking to will Stein, his phone clicks
(41:00):
or rings or makes a noise and he looks at
his phone while he's interviewing will Stein. I looked at
my wife. I said, I'm a fire of the guy.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Yeah, yeah, I absolutely foul. You shouldn't be doing that
when you're interviewing somebody.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
And like talk to look at his phone for you
already hung down on him. But yeah, you can't. You
can't be distracted by a Twitter notification or a text
while your mid interview.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
I know.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
It's maybe different if you're doing a radio interview because
you may be getting live questions from listeners, but on TV, no,
you get to have some decorm you can't respect exactly.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Yeah, yeah, well we respect DraftKings around here.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Of course we do. I respect winning money on DraftKings.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
You can do the same promo code KSR if you're
a new customer, use that promo code spend five. He
had one hundred and fifty in rewards within fourteen days
only on DraftKings.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
All right, that's gonna do it for us. Thanks for listening,
calling in, that's gonna do it for sharing the dude,
I'm Billy Rutler's just been the case our pre show
CASRS next. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show.
Today is Tuesday, August twenty fifth. I'm Billy Rutlidge along
with Shannon the Dude. You give us a calling the
Clark's pumpa Schot phone line. That's eight five nine two
eight oh two two eight seven. Text us at five
oh two two six five six six five six. That's
our Quantrell Auto Group text line. And the KSR pre
(00:22):
Show is presented by Cornbread Hemp. Go to cornbreademp dot
com to learn more about saving hemp and what you
can do in the next coming months to make sure
our favorite drinks and products stay on the shelves. I
am here on time and may never be laid again.
After traffic got the best of me yesterday and we
had the KSR Golf Scramble in Louisville, got to hang
out with Shannon the Dude for maybe an hour or
(00:44):
so before he had to leave to do his other
afternoon radio stuff. Good morning, dude, how are you well?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
First of all, I just want to say it's good
to see that you could show up today.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Glad you could be here today with us.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I'm here and you know you could have hung out
with me longer if you'd been there maybe thirty minutes earlier,
like you know, when the show started, So I've been
there with me for much longer. But yeah, had fun
yesterday at the scramble. For the time that I was there,
you hung out to the end. I guess who won
the thing.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I did not hang out until the end. I left
about five o'clock Matt got finished, was at the ESPN show.
I picked up the equipment and left. But it did
go on a little bit longer. I know Mario lost
his bag for a while, so he was searching for that.
He was there till like seven eight o'clock looking for
that bag. Yeah, lost his bag.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It sounded like to me somebody got into the bourbon
shots too early.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Well, yeah, whiskey, the whiskey thief Lemonade. We may have
made a stop to that whole a couple of times.
And you were with us when we went over to
Burnt Tavern to see them as well. Had some good
whiskey there. But Stockton mortgage man, they had the setup.
I don't know if anybody saw the pictures of where
we were sitting at at eighteen for a while, but
(01:52):
there was fake olive trees. There was an umbrella, there
was a fag.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
There was were fake Oh I actually picked an olive
often ate it. It was you did little rubbery, but it
was not.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
It was digestible.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Importing the fake olive trees to the kids. Our golf
scramble was a first and so. And we had great
weather yesterday and it looks like we've got great weather
again today, Shannon. As we che closer to football season,
you can almost feel the crispness in the air.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Yeah, starting to cool off a little bit. I'm good
with that.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Actually popped the window open last night some free ac.
You gotta love it when it gets down into like
the sixties at night, you can, you know, just pull
the window up a little bit and enjoy that. So, yeah,
it definitely falls. It feels like football seasons here. So
we'll get it going this weekend, just a few days
away from it all starting.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Maybe pop the top off here soon, Shannon on the jeep.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Oh yeah, well that's already happened. That happens all throughout
the summer.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah good.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, at least the front part.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I can't get the back part off because it's all
attached to the windows.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
You gotta have.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
It's a two person job because if you drop that,
the wind shields and everything will break.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
The windows will break.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
So you know, it's one of those things where you
get the front part off.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
But not the back.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
It's cheap. Season. You got a rubber duck, make sure
you use it in the next month or so. As
we're only eleven days away from Kentucky football, we'll talk
a little Kentucky football today. I wanted to touch on
the comments of Liam Cohen and how disappointed he was
and how much he regretted coming to Kentucky back in
twenty twenty three. I've got some thoughts on that and
much more on the way today. Give us call eight
(03:17):
five nine two eight zero two two eight seven. I
want to pose a question to you, Shannon, because I
have to go to two housewarming parties this week. I've
got one tonight and then one Saturday. I got one,
say Matt Jones, and so I need to know what
is a good housewarming gift. What do you think is
appropriate to bring over when you Chris in a house
(03:38):
for the first time. Is it just a bottle of
wine and like a like a cutting board or something
like that, or.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
You got to know your audience.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
First of all, do you think Matt would have any
use for a bottle of wine or a cutting board?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
No? Actually, now that I think of it, neither would
be a good gift.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You know what he would have more used for would
be an air filter, Okay, and maybe to change it
exactly totial on how to change your air filter. You
kind of just find a little spot where it goes,
you pull it out, and you slide the other one in.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
It's that simple.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
But I feel like those are a little life lessons
that is the great I was telling Matt yesterday during
the break, I said, you know, this is a great thing.
It's like you're just now becoming an adult. It's like
he became an adult last week or whatever, like whenever
you bought the house a couple weeks ago. Because now
he's learning all these Oh yeah, did you know you
got to water the flowers to keep them alive?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I do know that These are things I do every
day in my house.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Did you know you get yeah, look at this security camera,
Like yep, it's nice to have a security camera that
I can see.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Myself going out and taking the trash out. I'm like Yep.
I've had one of the you have to.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Put the trash on the streets, yeah, I mean they
come and pick it up.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, Like ye've been doing that for about fifteen twenty
years now, but he's just now experiencing all this stuff
as a homeowner for the first time.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
The air filter one got me when I first started
living on my own. You know, I wasn't really aware
that I had to do that on my own, but
I ended up doing it, Shannon, and now I'm familiar
with the whole process, and that's something you want to
change actually pretty often, right, Like it's something that could
be a fire hazard, but maybe like a quality candle
or something on hand that would fit our guy a
(05:10):
little bit more. I think he loves candle lighting board,
charcooterie board or something like that. I don't think he
would get into that very much, but I did get
to stop by the other day when I helped him
get connected for one of his ESPN shows, And dude,
it's a nice place. We're gonna have a good time
on Saturday. Let's just hope the everybody can control themselves.
Maybe the whiskey Thief lemonade will keep that at the
KASR golf Scramble. Won't bring that over on Saturday, but
(05:33):
you'll be there.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Right, Yeah, that's the plan.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I will I will be there and we're going to
hang out and probably watch some football since we get
week zero coming out on zero, that's right.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I think we're going to go to the fair together
on Friday as well.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Okay, you actually you are actually going to commit to
coming out to the fair on Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Know You've got to be out there so you know,
we have not been able to go since we haven't
had a show there this week, so yeah, I want
to go out there and and look, let's talk to
that guy.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
That his name Freddy, Freddie Farbureau.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I gotta go say hi to Freddy.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, see how he's been See what he's been up
to for the past year, since you haven't talked to
him since the last state Fair.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
That's right. All the kids will have a chaperone as
you have to be over a certain age to go
to the fair after a certain time now, which I
think they've been doing for years now. But yeah, and
it's good that we have these kids a little real
den now instead of just running around doing.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Just have rugrats having the run of the whole place,
so exactly, that's right.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Now, have you ever been to the ball and seen
somebody with a kid on a leash?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Because of course, what are you talking about.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, kid on the leash is commonplace at the Kentucky
State Fair.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You know, back in the day, we used to have.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Our own booth set up out there at the State Fair,
which I don't know why we stopped doing that, but
we would be out there broadcasting live and we would
sit there for hours and hours on end, and I
think it was the South Wing, and we would sometimes
get so bored we would create our own State Fair
bingo card. So like, kid on a Leash was definitely
one of the spots. Kid on a leash, check, mullet check,
(07:01):
big Johnson shirt check.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
You know, back when those were a thing.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Even when they weren't, people still wearing them, you know,
twenty years later at the state fairs. So yeah, State
Fair bingo was always a thing, and kid on a
Lease was definitely one of those things.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
You would say, well, it is definitely prime people watching, right,
I mean, you could go to Bourbon and Beyond and
Louder than life and see some things that you will
not see anywhere else. But I think consistently every year
the Fair has just become that spot, whether it be
remember the guy in the Trump stuff that would come
and disrupt our show every single year.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Oh yeah, no, no, we already got pictures tweeted to
us that he.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Was at it again this show.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
He was there already back Yeah, okay, good.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I don't know whatever came of that, but he was
out there this year, so he's probably looking for us
and he disappointed he didn't see KSR, so then he
turned around and left.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Probably. Yeah, he was always a staple at those shows.
So we'll do that on Friday. Maybe I'll get you
to get on the Himalaya or some Himalaya.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I can handle that.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
The one I've never done but I've kind of wanted
to do is the zero gravity one, like the little
spaceship looking thing or you stand there but I don't
think you're strapped in or anything, and it just goes
around really really fast and you're just like sucked into
the wall.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh yeah, yeah, I've I've actually been on that one,
maybe more recently than you. People are trying to move
all that thing's.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Going and oh yeah, how is that safe? I guess
gravity does is any of those things? Say, gravity does
its thing on that one, right? But what if what
if it doesn't?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Just what if gravity doesn't work?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I don't know. I guess I can trust gravity in
that situation. I just don't trust the person operating it.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I feel like it's going to come to the complete
stop very quickly and then everybody's going to just fall
into the ground.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Well, well we'll do something like that, and then you know,
the hand breakfast. I don't know if it'll be the
day that we're there or whatnot.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Has that not already happened? The hand breakfast, whether you
sell the hand?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
The KSAR pre show has a reporter that is added
every year. Yeah, tries to give us the price live
on the ears, though I haven't heard any updates from
him or have seen a headline yet, So I got
to think that ham hasn't been sold yet.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Okay, all right, Well we'll keep you updated on that
because we know that everybody cares about how much the
ham sells for.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
So let me let let's go back for a second.
Because our guy Shannon the Dude was a college athlete.
I was a three sports star, but it kind of
ended around high school. Shannon was the one that played
in college for Lindsay Wilson and Bellerman. But Shannon, you
were a good boy. You went to class. You you
know you you passed your classes, right, You were never
academically ineligible in any time in your career. You know
(09:36):
that's not easily said with every other athlete across the country,
especially with these maybe sham classes that maybe you get
a little bit of a different test than the normal
student does. But you took a stand yesterday for kids
still going to classes. And I'm not gonna say I
disagree with you, Shannon. I feel like there it does
seem to need to be still an element of higher
(09:59):
learning institution going on with college sports, and maybe there
isn't with this conversation lately.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
For me, like saying that you don't care if athletes
pass a class is a wild take to me, Like, okay,
you don't care. Well, then, basically what we were talking
about yesterday on KSR, the guys we're saying, well, wait,
we don't care if they go to class or not. Well,
I don't necessarily care if they go to class, But
I think you should still have to pass the class
(10:25):
and make the grade because it is college sports. By definition,
college that means school. Now, you know they were talking about, well,
you know, maybe they shouldn't have to go to class
and shouldn't even have to take classes at all.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
What you're describing is something that already exists. It's called
the G League.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I mean, if you want that, then you're just creating
basically a minor league for football and a minor league
for basketball and every other sport. But yeah, I mean,
if you're going to go to college and represent the university,
you should have to make the grades. I mean, like,
if they're not there class every day, I don't care,
but you should still have the pass. And what about
all these guys that go for five years? You know,
(11:03):
they're making all this nil money.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Which is great. What happens when they blow through it all?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
They're not going to the NBA, they're not going to
the NFL, they're not going to the Major League Baseball.
And now they didn't take any classes, so they have
no education.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
So what are you gonna do? Get a job at Walmart?
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
You have no college degree to even show for if
you don't take classes.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
That's kind of the point I'm hitting on. You know,
I think a lot of people are shortsighted. They want
to make as much money as possible, right with the
NIL and getting that fifth year of eligibility, which I'm
sure we'll talk about more today. But not all these
guys become professional athletes, right, even if you do have
a cup of coffee in the league, or you go
play overseas for a few years in basketball, there is
(11:45):
still a lot of life to be lived, and maybe
a lot of these people are forgetting it. But are
we foolish to think that this is not something that's
been the norm for all these years?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Oh, I'm sure it has.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, you got tutors, you know, North Carolina creating fake
classes and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
So, I mean it's been happening for a while. But
now it's just now we're getting guys from the G
League or being cut from an NFL team that are
coming back to college, right, and people look at their
sports management class that they have to go to on
eight am on a Tuesday like that is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I just think it's wild to have the idea of
thinking that you could just go represent a university as
an athlete but not take the classes and not even
go to school at all, not even have to.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Make a grade. I think that's I think that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
It's the minor leagues at that point.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Then why even affiliate yourself with the school at all?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
If you're not going to school, why you even affiliate
yourself with how you're going to represent Kentucky the University
of Kentucky, but you don't.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Even go to school. You didn't go.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
They need the revenue, right like they need the revenue
that you helped bring in. So look, I mean, I
think when we have this conversation, we're talking about the
elite of the elite, right, and it's probably just even
a few sports like a football or basketball, you know.
I think for the most part, you see athletes of
other sports, smaller sports that don't bring in as much revenue,
go to class and still strive for academics. But when
(13:06):
you're bringing in millions, hundreds of millions of dollars in
these television deals, it's like, is it really important if
they go to their eight am class that next time? Like?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Do I care right now? If Malacamreno is in his class.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
But do I think that he should still pass the
class or make a GPA that's you know, respectable and
at least past whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
The minimum was to be eligible, Then yeah, I do.
I do think that. I think that matters, and if
you don't, I do too.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
But college has become the minor league for professional sports
for the lack of a better term. You said it,
Shannon Leer, that is, it has just become that gateway
to the next level. And now you have the chaos
of what's going on at it school like LSU right
now many I don't know how they're going to have
a basketball roster with some of the guys that they're
bringing in waiting on some court decisions, and and even
football too as they try to bring on an old
(13:55):
miss tight end who was just cut by the Browns.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Like, I don't know, crazy players. It's just it's wild, man,
it really is. We went from like being way too
strict with rules. You remember guys that were getting in
trouble for getting a sandwich hand it to them for
free and yeah, violation. Yeah, yeah, who is it? I
think Festus is Zelee at Vanderbilt got in trouble because
(14:18):
somebody handed him a free chocolate chip cookie and he
had to like set out a game like this is
this is absurd. So we went from that absurdity to
the absurdity of what's going on now where you get
guys that you know, guys that are going to the
NFL and then coming back and then it's it's just
there's no rules at all. It's gone from one one
end of the spectrum to the other and there's no
(14:39):
in between.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
But I don't know how you put that thing back
in the bottle for the saying that I'm looking for here, Like,
I don't know how you ever returned to what it was.
You can't right after you.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Stop pay for play, man, Like if you could stop
pay for play. That's not what NIL was ever intended
to be, at least not my understanding of it. My
understanding of it was, Billy, if you go play for
the University of Kentucky and we're gonna sell a thousand
jerseys and it's got Rutledge on the back of it,
you're gonna get a cut of that. If you go
do autograph signings, you're gonna get You're gonna make the
(15:09):
money off that if we do a video game and Billy,
our sports is in it, you're gonna get your percentage
of it. But what it's become is something completely different
than that.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Is.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Okay, Billy, we got two point one million dollars here
for you. We're gonna offer that you just come here
and play. That's it and no questions asked to sign
on the dotted line yea. Make sure you're taken care of.
And that's where they went wrong in my opinion, Like
if you just had NIO, which is name, image, likeness,
then it literally was those three things and you had
to work for it, then that that makes sense. But
(15:39):
this whole payer play We're gonna give you five million
dollars to come play here, is ridiculous and that's where
it got completely out of hand in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
He menshe, I hope you don't miss your classes, but
we did pay you millions of dollars to come here
and win games.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
YEP.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I think ultimately, in the eyes of many people, that's
more important than if you pass your sports management class.
But I agree with you, and there still should be
some degree of you are in college. There is something
more than just the next five years of your life
in playing a professional sport. But that is only uh,
I guess the tip of the top. Right we're talking
(16:13):
about SEC programs. We're talking about the best of the best.
But I'm glad I'm not in school anymore. I'll just say, oh,
I want to be I would want to be in school.
What are you talking about me?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I could go back be an athlete and make millions
of dollars, probably not being a Bellerman baseball player, but
I you know, if I was in middle school right now,
I would be out shooting basketball every single day for
like ten hours a day, just so I could get
to the port where I could, you know, point where
I could make millions of dollars in nil But.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Then you only have online classes as you do that,
and then you're not set up for anything post you're
playing days. I think that's just a that's a weird
conundrum a lot of kids find themselves in right now.
Eight five nine two eight oh two two eight seven.
We'll say we're going to talk a little bit more
Kentucky football today. The SEC eighties and presidents are meeting
in Birmingham over the next two days, and they released
a statement yesterday and Kirk Crias is playing pick up
(17:03):
basketball in Lexington. My man was by the FBI.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
He's not concerned at all, is he? He might as
well does live his life and you know, enjoy the
freedom while he has it. Like, what would you do
if you were facing charges and you knew it didn't
look good for you? Would you be cooped up in
your house because you're about to be cooped up in
prison for a long time that's true. Or would you
go out and just like go play pick up basketball
and do the things you enjoy while you still can.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I'd probably go touch grass. That's what I do since
I was gonna be in a prison cell, me touch
a lot of concrete. Do you think he could be
playing our Media Madness team? You think he would be
available to play on the KSR team? Maybe it's worth asking.
We'll see, I guess as long as he doesn't try
to scam anybody will.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
KSR has no epics at all.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
No, we're here to win. We're not going to class. Yeah,
it's all about when. And on that note, we'll take
a break. We'll be right back here on the KSR
Welcome Back Tuesday edition of the KSR Pre Show. The
gravitron is what they call the zero gravity Spinning Fair Ride.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Shannon, is that the name of it? Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
One person says it would always turn upside down when
they got into that.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Now that would be no, wait a minute, I think
we're talking about two different things here. I'm talking about
the thing that looks like a spaceship. You go inside of.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
It and you get on the wall and you kind
of like get pushed against the wall.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Because the gravity, it turns upside down.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
No, this person's saying they just turn upside down while
they're in there. Wow, Okay, a little bit more funky
your old person. Speaking of State Fair bingo. My cousins
and I used to go to a car shows a
lot and they would tie a dollar bill to a
fishing line pole and accidentally drop it amongst the crowd
and wait for someone to pick it up to see
(18:42):
how far they could reel them in.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
That's great, almost got you gotta be quicker than that.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Remember that commercial?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, oh yeah, we did poop dollar back in the
day in college. That was a fun one. Glued a
quarter to the ground one time, but nobody it's kind
of harder to get people to pick up change anymore, Shannon, Nobody,
nobody really cares about the change anymore.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
We did that to my roommate.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
We glued all this change to his desk, like, oh yeah,
this whole thing at change. We glued like everything that
he had to the desk.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
See, that's infuriating. I can't get away from that. That's
just in my face. I can't get these coins off
my desk. That's that's a little evil from you, a Shannon.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Don't fall asleep early.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
That's yeah, you're the guy. Don't pass out with your
shoes on around your sheddon He's gonna put pain on
your face or something. Let's take our first call today.
Cooper is on the line. Good morning, Coopering.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Yeah, yeah, I gotcha. Hey U.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
So I always want to talk about the whole academic situation.
I was listening to the show on podcasts from yesterday,
and I was also kind of shocked to hear Matt
talk about doesn't really think athletes should be going to class.
I'm not necessarily worried about the athletes right now in college.
(20:07):
I think it more of the youth, the high school kids,
you know, getting into that mindset of a, Oh, academics
don't matter, you know, like them starting to get to
the mindset like, oh, you know, I shouldn't really worry
about grades. You know, I'm gonna go try to go
to the league. But in reality, they're not really gun
in the.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
League, you know, Yeah, I mean only a small percentage
we're talking about actually make it.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
What about everybody else that does not? You know, you
don't you know, I.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Kind of yeah, sorry, you know, I kind of look
at the phrase of you know, you could you can
lead a horse to water, but it ain't get to
drink it. You can tell kids that they're not gonna
go to the league, but they're still going to try
and pursue that that dream of going to the league
or anything like that. So but and then also, I
(20:54):
think it's only going to lead to Matt's biggest fear
of us just having a really on AI stuff because
all the kids, you are going to be dumb.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Well, yeah, if they're not worried about class. Thanks for
the call, Cooper. We appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Thank you, Cooper.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
You're gonna have guys that you know, played five years
and made some money, but they can't even read a book.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah, are you too worried about your Instagram page and
you know the nil deal that's gonna make you a
quick buck than you are. Education in a career that
you're gonna have to go to after your playing days. Right,
here's another saying that I'm gonna butcher like you can.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
What.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
You can feed somebody a fish and they'll eat that night,
but then you teach them to fish in and they
can feed their family the rest of their life.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Is that? That one? Is that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I don't know if that's the right way to say it,
but you you know the point here.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Okay, Yeah, I think I know, I think I know
what you're saying. Maybe you need to You.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Got to teach them how to fish. You can't just
give them a fish every single time, right, that's true,
And they're gonna be on their own. They're not gonna
know how to get the fish, that's right.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
You can get some big fish over there at Draft
Kings Sports, but PROMOSR you can probably bet on fishing.
I don't know if you can, but if it's possible,
it's there for you. And then you can use the
promo code KSR Spin five get one hundred and fifty
and rewards with week zero coming up. It's all there
for you on DraftKings promo code KSR Gambling problem wanting

Traditional terms are responsible gaming resources. The sportsbook Draft Kings
dot Com slash promos limited time offer back to you bill,
Well done.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Dude, All right, I'll just time.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
We'll take a break more on the way. Yeah, I
was close enough. Give a man a fish, you feed
him for a day. Teach a man how to fish,
you feed him for a lifetime.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
It's all the fish run out.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I mean sometimes the fish run out and then you
can't get What if you can't catch the fish that day?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
What if the farmers all come back next day? Families
gotta eat, Well, you're not eating that day. You can't fail.
The one person on the text line said they learned
that from Wilson on Home Improvement, a philosopher that we
should all listen to more often.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
There you go. Do you know how to fish.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yes, yeah, I'm from floor, so I did a little
fishing in my day.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Can you bait a hook?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I can, Yeah, I can tie one fishing knot. But
I think that's all I need, right, is one knot.
You don't need a double knotted No, no, no, there's
no double knotting on a fishing knot. Now, we saw
Mark pulpego fishing for the first time in his bucket
hat and his big smile. We enjoyed that and on
his recruiting trip, maybe you can go on the next one. Dude.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
It's a lot easier just to take a cattle prod
and stick it in the water and just zap all
the fishing.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Okay, it's not the Simpsons. Okay, we can't just do
that and then get the fish. It's about the piece
of it all. Oh, you get some squid or some
night crawlers, good old bait. That sounds like you do
a lot of fishing, a whole lot.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
It's been a while. It's been a while.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, me too, But we are only eleven days away
from Kentucky football. Let's talk about some football topics here
for a second, Shan before we talk about the Kentucky Wildcats.
The Old Miss NIL director sat on a podcast a
couple of days ago that the FBI searched their football
offices for recording devices after Lane Kiffin left for the
LSU job. You think that's an overreaction or a smart
(24:04):
move by Old Miss after their coach left for their
SEC rival.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
So now you're telling me that they think that there
was recording devices Lane left by Lane Kiffn.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Or yes, correct?
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yeah, yeah, I don't Why would he have them though?
Why would Lane Kiffn have those?
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Well, I guess you could listen in on the strategy
that they're going to have, and so I mean that's
why you would plant a recording device, right, So a
team paranoid?
Speaker 7 (24:31):
To me?
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Did youv searching for something like that?
Speaker 6 (24:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Did Do you not think that?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
No? I do. I think that's crazy. I love this headline.
As we get closer to football season, the SEC continues
to be a headline maker. But then you have Old
Miss sweeping the office for recording devices because they think
Lane's left one. I think it is absurd.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
That is that is extremely paranoid.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Yeah, like they think that on his way out, Lane
Kevin just set up a recorder which by the way.
I mean, it's going to run out of tape eventually,
right where it's going to run out of a battery
or unless you get it, unless you get it hardwired
in somehow.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, and what were you doing, honest in twenty twenty
six one transponder and how much storage it has?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I think you're giving Link giving way too much credit
if you think you went through that much trouble.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I think so. But Ole miss was the paranoid one.
They swept their offices, did not find any but goes
to show you how people are thinking in the sec
right now. Also in the football world, Kentucky had their
Louisville Kickoff luncheon yesterday at Churchill Downs, where Jay Batt
and will Stein spoke to many members of the Big
Blue Nation, and there was a quote there, Shannon and
(25:36):
I wanted to share with you. This one comes from
will Stein. He says, quote, I think the people in
this room are a part of our team. We were
all on the same team. So the louder you cheer,
the longer you stay, the better opportunities we have to win.
Think about it like that. Don't think about the scoreboard
or the time left. Regardless, we are all in together.
We all have to go out there, we all have
(25:56):
to perform. And so that's what I'm asking these people
in this room and then and your friends, your family, man,
stand up, be loud. Somebody tells you to sit down,
that you're ruining their view, tell them to stand up.
Let's get on our feet and make some noise. That
quote from will Stein might be used from some people
inside Kroger Field when somebody tells them to sit down
(26:16):
and they're cheering a little too much. Love it.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Yeah, you know, we always have that debate.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
It feels like on the show, somebody's calling in saying, well,
I was standing up the whole time and I was
told to sit down, And you know, there was a
whole argument that went on.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Stand up if you can.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Now, you know, there's always extraordinary circumstances where somebody can't
stand up. I get that, and that case you should
be respectful to that person. But otherwise, if you're able
to stand up, you should be standing the entire time.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
You're not out of play.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
You're at a sporting event, football game, you had a
football game.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Stand up, be loud, support the team. I'm all for it.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
And basketball too, you know, rep arena needs to be
a place where people fear going to, not just a
museum that is a nice place to play until the
final three men and people to get in.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Some of those fans that they're like they're at a
movie theater. They're about to watch, I don't.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Know, playing golf clap after a nice play. Yeah, no
standing up and cheering, which they need to do more of.
So I like that from will Stein, absolutely and Shannon.
A new study finds that forty two percent of Americans
believe that airplane passenger etiquette is getting worse. Yeah, over
the last five years.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
You're part of it.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Your number one complaint is noise. Actually, forty percent of
people surveyed believed that phone calls should be banned on
an airplane. Do you agree with that?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Well, I don't know about you, but I can't make
a phone call on my airplane with my phone service.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Do you do you have the type of service where
you can call somebody on a plane?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Well, like you know, I switch on to airplane mode.
Not everybody does. There are people that are making phone calls.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Which, by the way, is the airplane mode?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Is that is that just like a myth because I
know not everybody on that plane.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Is well, that's not a thing.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Any switched it over airplane moding. Yeah, but what would
happen if I didn't switch over to airplane mode? Would
the plane just fall out of the sky and crash?
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Like?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I wouldn't want to find out, So I did it,
you know, just in case. But I've always wondered, what
if I switched it out of airplane mode? What is
really going to happen? Like, have you ever heard of
anything in the news about a plane crashing because not
everybody had an airplane mode?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
No, But I know the point just it just straight
crashes the plane. Dude. I think it messes with the
communication between the tower and the plane, and you know
your phone call might be affecting it. I don't think
it does anymore. Let me be clear, as we talk
about something, we don't know what we're talking about.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Well, welcome to the show.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You know, Marissa was on her phone right up until
we were in the air, and then it just ended
up shutting off and not working. The plane still went on,
So I gotta think that's been antiquated. But not only
has noise the number one complaint reclining seats. The second
biggest complaint. Going barefoot has become a growing trend on airplanes,
which is foul. There's no or foul in this instance.
(29:01):
Do not take your socks off or your cross and
do not be well.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
First of all, I don't even wear crocs.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
And secondly, do not be leaning back in somebody's lap
like Billy does. He doesn't even care. He leans back,
He goes. You know what, this chair was made to
lean back, So I'm gonna lean it back all the
way as far back as I possibly can. And you're
laying in the lap of a stranger behind you don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I might turn around and ask you if it's okay
that I lean back, and I'm going to say no,
I might do it anyway exactly.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
See, that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Eleven percent of respondents say the middle seat should get
both arm rests. It feels really low for the middle
seat who gets nothing.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
That sounds like somebody who habitually will book the middle seat,
saying that I should get the both sides of the.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Arm You get both arm rests, and if you're in
the middle.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Seat, yeah, I think you get a little bit of both.
You know, you get a bit of it.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
You don't get like the back of the arm right, well,
you get it, I don't know, split it front and back.
I split it right down the middle, side to side,
so you get part of it.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Oh you do sides? Yeah, you're like on the inside.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I will go ahead and claim my part of it.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
And then as long as you don't mind brushing your
arm up against my hairy arm, then we'll sit there
and we'll hold hands. I guess, I don't know, but yeah,
that's part of it when you're in the middle seat.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Well, my biggest pet peeve on the airlines is and
the people agree with me. Sixty five percent of the
people polled believe passengers should wait ticket off the plane.
There is no instance in which you rush up when
the plane lands. The unbelt unbuckle seat belt sign goes
off and people start getting up already, Dude, we're at
the back of the plane. Yeah, you got nowhere to go.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Well, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
A lot of it though, for me is just I
got to stand up because my back is killing me
and I don't want to wait another five minutes. I
need to stand up right now. But I'm with you,
like you're not going anywhere, Like, where do you think
you're going? That's what happens every time though the plane lands,
everybody from the front all the way to the back.
People are standing up, you know, think they're going to
get off that plane.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
When they have a connecting flight they have to get to.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
I understand, so does everybody else. You're not more important all.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
We're all in our own world, right. We all got issues.
We're all trying to figure out where we're going to
go next. And in that instance, that's why we find
ourselves on the same page. I mentioned some football stories.
I wanted to play a little audio for you of
chai Is Pete, the former Kentucky offensive lineman. Don't know
if you've heard his locker room speech after his six
snaps with the Cowboys the other day, but look, it's
(31:18):
a big deal. The Navajo Nation has never had a
player sign an NFL contract. Pete became the first, and
he had quite the party of people there at the
game to watch. I enjoyed the Cowboys coach Schottenheimer's moments
here and shay Is Pete what he had to say.
I want to play that for you. Let's go.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
I saw something and I've never seen before twenty five
years in the NFL an entire section cheering for one man.
Speaker 7 (31:52):
Well, that was an incredible win. Now, I am very
fortunate to be amongst you and to play in the
same field where the same for the same star holding
on our chest. And I'm proud of us, proud of
how far we've come. Man, this game, Fate brought us
(32:14):
here a strangers, but this game the star, This team
will make us brothers.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Another saying here on the pre show this morning, Fate
brought us together as strangers, but this team will leave
us as brothers. The star, the star will bring us together.
The Dallas Cowboys Star. Pretty dramatic from Pete, But what
we learned last year was that this guy has an
awesome personality and can galvanize a group like that. So
(32:44):
cool to see Pete hopefully has some success.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
In the at the next level here, Dan, Well, he's
certainly making a quick impact. I mean, is anybody that
you don't even know is going to make the team
made that big of an impact on a team in
an exhibition game?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Yeah, breaking down the lost and do you is.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
There anyway he makes the team based off of just vibes,
vibes and who he is.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
I mean, I don't think that that's how it works
in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
But wouldn't you have a hard time though, just cutting
that guy, especially after that big speech.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
And that was the coach that was speaking at first, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, that was the coach that brought him in to
say that, you know, and I believe he didn't play
that much in the game, but it was the fans
support that they saw. Everybody, every workplace has a personality
higher right, there's there's somebody.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah, but do you when you're an NFL team, you
can bring a guy in because he's got a good attitude,
good work ethic.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
But in the NFL, you either have results or you don't.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Yeah, the football peerist mind would say, I need three
deep at every position. I can't afford to have somebody
just be a personality higher on, can't give sympathy higher right,
But can he just be the locker room pump up guy?
Like can he signed the rookie minimum and then just
be the guy that talks in the wad?
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (34:00):
So I'm pulling for the guy.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Obviously, big personality and uh seems like a great dude,
But I don't know how far that takes you in
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Well, we're rooting for him.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
You know, the NFL season is almost here as well,
so those cuts will be coming soon and hopefully he
makes the roster and all the Kentucky Wildcats find success
at this next level. Let's take another call here, dude,
Adam is up next? Eight five nine two A two
two eight seven. What's up? Adam?
Speaker 6 (34:26):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (34:27):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (34:27):
Guys?
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Two things? One the h the airplane thing.
Speaker 6 (34:38):
But what.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Adam? You there? You're still there, Adam?
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Adam?
Speaker 1 (34:51):
All right, Well we should ban his phone calls too,
as long as I don't know the airplane.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Maybe he couldn't hear us. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
But yeah, you're really part of the blame for this, this
new study that says.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Why well, because you're part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
As I said, you're the one the guy who comes
on the airplane, and you're the guy that nobody wants
to sit next to or or behind because they know
what you're gonna do. They know you're gonna recline, Well
they don't. They probably don't know, but they're gonna find
out once you get on there and do it well.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
They say that reclining their seats is the second biggest
issue that people have with the behavior of passengers over
the last five years. But fifty one percent of people
say it is acceptable to recline your seat in economy
only if you check behind first So, I mean there
is maybe like an etiquette there.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
You need about first class is what you need to do?
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Well, I can't please first class and you want to
give out of another first class? Adam? Are you back
with us? Oh?
Speaker 6 (35:52):
Hear me?
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Oh yeah, we got you, Adam. Let's try it again.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
Awesome. Yeah. The cell phone thing on an airplane, think
if somebody flipping their phone onto airplane or off of
airplane mode would crash the plane, that they would allow
cell phones on.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
A plane exactly.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
That's my exactly my argument. There's no way, So then
what's the whole thing?
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Woul you know?
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Make sure they still say that, by the way, like
I flew a couple of months ago, make sure your
phone is in airplane mode at least they.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Do lead I guarantee, guarantee, guarantee to have the plane
has their phone off off of airplane mode using their phone,
and you know, we have the safest air traffic that
there's ever been, so I don't think that's the thing. Also,
as far as players going to class, I'm totally on board,
(36:42):
saying like it is college, Like you've got to go
for a reason. If not, just go to you know,
some minor league system and and make your money there to.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
The go to the XFL. I mean, that's kind of
my argument.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
If you're going to represent the school, you should have
to go to class or at least have to make
the grades.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
Absolutely totally on board, so you guess, all right, thank.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
You, all right, I appreciate thank you, Adam. Cell phones
emit signals that can theoretically interfere with crucial aircraft safety
sensors like radar and stuff like that. So there you go.
That's there's AI's answer of why you would turn your
airplane mode on when you're in an airplane.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Well, if you're on like a big, reputable brand a airplane,
then maybe not. But when you're flying allegiant where anything
could happen, just in case, I think I'm gonna put
it on airplane mode.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Yeah, just in.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Case, because I don't want to be that guy that
didn't do it. And they're going, well, we're operating on
planes from nineteen seventy four, and uh, we need to make.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Sure those things.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Yeah, you better turn that airplay mode off exactly for
the safety of everybody. We'll take a break, be right
back here on the KSR Appreciow. I'm back. It's our
final segment of the KSR pre Show. We'll hand it
off to Matt and KSR from ten to noon Shanon.
Before we do, we got to wish a couple special
happy birthdays. One to our unforgettable Richie Farmer, who it
(38:00):
is finally his birthday now, who was trying to wish
him a birthday the other day. Me.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Okay, I said number text happy birthday five days before
and he goes, it's not my birthday. I went, well,
a happy birthday anyway, you know, happy early birthday. You're
on top of it. Yeah, come in to commandment. You
get one coming up, right, who me? Yeah, like in
May so happy birthday? Yeah, may tell you early. Yeah,
yours is coming up sooner than that.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
And then our guy Corey Price has a birthday today.
That is the guy that wishes everybody a happy birthday.
So I want to give a big happy birthday to
Corey and thank you for what you do listening to
the show, sending us funny photos. And of course he'll
be in the booth with Tom Leach and Jeff Pecora
here in just a few days.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Yeah, he's the type of guy that can find pictures
of you that you didn't even know existed.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
I look at this and I go, this is this? AI,
how did you find that picture?
Speaker 1 (38:49):
And always like when you're a child too. I finally
made it into the newspaper and then Corey is able
to find that photo. So happy birthday to our guys
Corey and Ritchie. Before we take one more phone call,
one person on the text line said, I don't think
men should be allowed to wear shorts on an airplane.
I don't want your hairy legs next to me.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
What a strange take.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
You don't think you should be allowed to wear shorts
at all on a plane?
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Come on, No, I'm not gonna be this. But you know,
back in the day, everybody used to wear suits when
they got on a plane. But that's they would wear.
Men would wear suits everywhere they went. You look at
baseball pictures from way back in the day. Everybody at
the baseball game is wearing a suit, which men that
had to be hot.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Oh at the baseball suit, it'd be hot in the airplane. Yeah,
the Fedora, Oh yeah, it had the whole went the
whole nine yards. Now, No, I think you should wear
shorts in the workplace, Like if you go to work
in an office, do you think you should wear shirts?
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Well, I mean, am I in an office right now? Technically?
Technically yeah, okay, I've got shorts on right now.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Well, I am in an office as well, and I
have shorts on. But we also don't have a real job.
We play make believe on the radio every day.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
I'm not I went out trying to sell things either, right,
But like, would it be bad form for a salespersons
depends on if you had a tie on. If you
look like Angus Young from ac DC, you know you
would always wear like the.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Uh are you gonna go tie in shorts? Because I
don't know if.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
I like that, like the shorts on, right, you had
the tie on the shirt, it's semi formal.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
I do think probably most people should wear pants in
the workplace, but I can't. I can't throw stones standing
as I sit here in my Jim shorts. But othertheless,
let's let's take one more call before we get out here.
Jerry is up next. What's up, Jerry?
Speaker 6 (40:37):
Yes? Or uh? Fair or foul? Yesterday evening, my wife
and I was watching w g r UH the sports,
and it wasn't them, I think they was running the
real for somebody else. And the guy was sitting a
little table with will Stein and he was interviewing him.
In his left hand his phone and while we's talk,
while he was talking to will Stein, his phone clicks
(41:00):
or rings or makes a noise and he looks at
his phone while he's interviewing will Stein. I looked at
my wife. I said, I'm a fire of the guy.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Yeah, yeah, I absolutely foul. You shouldn't be doing that
when you're interviewing somebody.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
And like talk to look at his phone for you
already hung down on him. But yeah, you can't. You
can't be distracted by a Twitter notification or a text
while your mid interview.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
I know.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
It's maybe different if you're doing a radio interview because
you may be getting live questions from listeners, but on TV, no,
you get to have some decorm you can't respect exactly.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Yeah, yeah, well we respect DraftKings around here.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Of course we do. I respect winning money on DraftKings.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
You can do the same promo code KSR if you're
a new customer, use that promo code spend five. He
had one hundred and fifty in rewards within fourteen days
only on DraftKings.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
All right, that's gonna do it for us. Thanks for listening,
calling in, that's gonna do it for sharing the dude,
I'm Billy Rutler's just been the case our pre show
CASRS next. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
