Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It is the KSR pre Show Friday, April fourth.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
I'm Shannon to the Dude along with Billy Relich.

line at eight five to nine two eight oh twenty
two eighty seven Beureau Whiskey Thief Call of the Day.

two six five six six five six KSR pre Show
being brought to you by Italics Fine Italian donning in Lexington.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
I am in the.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Loisville studio where Billy our Sports was yesterday, and I
know that because I've got the evidence as I walked
into the studio this morning.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I've got right here an expired.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Twinkie that you promised to bring me, so I know
that you were here yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
What were you doing in the Lovell Studio.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I had to run Terry Miner show from three to
six yesterday and I will be doing it again today.
Happy to bring you one of those Twinkie Shannons since
those they've been sitting it there for quite a while.
But I've got a bone to pick with I don't
know if it's it's you, or maybe it's iHeart but
you guys got hella snacks in the Louis ofv A building.
(01:05):
I'm talking assortments of chips, granola bars, fruit snacks, a
full fridge of drinks and sodas, coffee machine, a coffee
machine with several different flag got just three.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
You got a little crunchy oats and honey granola bar,
got me some trail mix.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Those are my snacks. By the way. You didn't get
into my snack Powell, did you.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I certainly did. And I didn't need them at the
studio either. I mean I was putting them in my
backpack like I was trying to save for What are
you doing?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Like you're robbing the place I'm gonna be taking. I'm
gonna be taking inventory later and I'm going to know
exactly how many you stole from me.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I'm like a white squirrel trying to save my nuts
for when I actually need some snacks shading because we
don't have any snacks here. I mean we occasionally get
a bag of Dorito's or something. But I was a
little jealous. I also enjoyed having to call Rick Ryder
for advice on how to work equipment.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Shannon.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I was trying to get the video cameras to work,
and they're like, call Rick Rider, He'll help you with it.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
How does reck know more about technology than you?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I mean exactly, That's what I was asking myself, any
piece of technology. But Rick was helped walk me through
a couple things and h and we got through it.
So I'll be back again later today. If you're gonna
be sticking around, Shannon, I doubt it.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
But well, hands off the hands off the ram noodles.
First of all, those are the like that's the premium
part of the snacks. You know, Like we've got the
camera where you just add water and throw it in
the microwave for two minutes.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's bougie over there. I mean I could have a
whole dinner. I mean, you got a game to run
that night. I mean you don't have to go out
and get something to eat. You got everything you need
in that kitchen. So I was a little jealous yesterday.
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do later, little tease
for you. I'm gonna actually do what Ryan Lemon was
too chicken to do. You see this expire twinkie.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I'm gonna eat a bite. I'm gonna take a bite.
I'm not gonna eat.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I don't know if I'm eat the whole thing. I'm
gonna take a bite of it and see. Because I've
always heard that twinkies never expire. Now I think that's
an urban legend. Obviously they do expire. Otherwise why would
it have an expiration date. But as I've said before,
Billy expiration dates, to me, they're just a suggestion.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Sues.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, that's like, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
We need to sell it by then, you know, But
you can eat a Twinkie and I don't think anything's
going to bother you. I mean, I used to drink
out of a water hose when I was a kid.
I used to eat dirt as a kid. Okay, I'm
still here. So I think if I ate a Twinkie
that's fourteen months past the expiration date, I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Think it's going to kill me. And if it does,
then you know what killed me.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I'm gonna be like a scientific experiment live on the
air later today.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
You got me having flashbacks of people calling me soft
for not drinking out of garden hoses as a child.
That was I do remember that show. But you know,
as the caller said yesterday, it's the things that package
many of the things that deteriorates, or I guess expires
before the actual food.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So you tell me the plastic expires before the twinkie.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I don't know what the caller was. Don't think I
believe that either.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Well, I think that that twinkie might be a little
harder than one that you could get off the shelf.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Maybe today, Oh it is. I could throw this thing
up against the wall and oh yeah, dent the wall.
Oh yeah, that thing's not breaking.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
It's uh but you know what, take your first bite,
then see if you'd like to finish the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
But I'm looking forward to that. You doing that, Shane, Okay,
we'll do that a little bit later on.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I'm going to be taking next week off, so this
is my final day.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Here with you for a while.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
So yeah, we're going to make it an ask anything
Friday eight five nine two eight h twenty two eighty seven.
You're going to be here by yourself on the pre
show next week. Do you have some good lineup, like
a good guest lineup? Do you want to reveal any
of that or do you want to just wait and
surprise everybody next week? I'm going to give you the
opportunity to tell us what you got.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Well, I had a tease yesterday a former college basketball
coach might be making his return to the airwaves, but
I want to generally leave it as a surprise. You
don't know who's going to be coming in every morning.
The problem is, Shane, and the way that I've booked
the show is that I think Monday is the only
day I still need to book, and that's at this
point the hardest day to book, right, I mean that's
the day that's the soonest and probably the busiest for most.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
People book in the show backwards.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
You booked it from front, I booked it Awards, and
now it's Friday, just a few days before, and it's
even harder to get people to come in on Monday.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
So we'll see.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
But we always enjoy when Shannon the Dude goes away,
the show kind of turns into Colin Cowherd Sports Radio,
and and you know, we have an opportunity to do
things a little different. So you and Ryan uh tripping again?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Oh yeah together, We're already uh, we've already been texting
back and forth this morning. We're trying to find our
place that we're going to watch the Final four oh
tomorrow night when we're down there.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Uh, you make sure nobody's staying in your airbnb hope
not no cleaning ladies or not, but wanted visitors.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, we're looking forward to it, all right. So Billy,
it's Friday before the Final four. We'll obviously talk a
little bit about that. We got the transfer portal stuff
that continues, although we're in a dead period technically right
now until next Friday.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Strange time of year for sports.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
You know, Yesterday we open up the phone lines and
all anybody seemed to want to talk about was again,
the Cassidy Row situation. And you know, I'm kind of
past it at this point, but I mean, we're here
to talk about what you guys want to talk about.
And when we open up the phone lines and the
first three callers are asking about Cassidy Row, that tells
me that this story still hasn't gone away. And you know,
(06:14):
I don't know if this is something that's going to
be a storyline all the way throughout the summer until
we get to next year's college basketball season and see
how the women's team does. But Billy, yesterday, people still
want to talk about this Cassidy Row situation, and it's
something that's stuck in a lot of Big Blue Nations crawl.
After it happened about what a week and a half ago,
(06:34):
people were still talking about it.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Well, it may be a fault of Big Blue Nation
that they care too much, right, I mean, that is
maybe something that's rearing its ugly head a little bit here.
I mean, when one of our own represents the University
of Kentucky, there's a different feeling, right, I mean, when
Reed Shepherd and Travis Perry did it for the men's team,
even guys before that. I mean, I think there's a
(06:56):
sense of pride there for a lot of people in
the Commonwealth. And so when this girl commits to the
University of Kentucky at fourteen, right, she shows that pride
or fans are able to show that pride with her
being on the roster. She stitched sticks through coaching changes,
and she's a model of how you should represent yourself. Then, absolutely,
I understand why people may be upset that that player
(07:18):
is not on the roster, But in my opinion, Shannon,
you have to give the coach every opportunity to fill
out the roster.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
The way that he wants.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
And I think Brian the Intern wrote a column on KSR.
I mean, we're going way back if we mentioned Brian
the Intern, and the title is nobody is owed a
Kentucky basketball roster spot. And I happen to agree with that.
Shannon and Matt didn't like it that we me, you
and Matt seem to all be on the same side
of this argument. Imagine that he was like, maybe I
need to reevaluate if I'm on the same side as Billy.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, you're gonna change what you think just because it
aligns with two of your coworkers.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
No, No, don't overthink it, Matt. I mean this is
something that can be split. But look, I mean, I'm
not gonna just give somebody a roster because they were
on the roster last year. You've got to prove to
me in this transfer portal era that you can make
a difference on this team. Now, there's varying opinions on
if she could have made a difference, and I think
the caller yesterday made made some good points. She was
(08:13):
the first off the bench. She's a good free throw shooter,
so she she wasn't a scrub right.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Good ball handler. You know, somebody handler cut in.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You know, she came in in that Liberty game when
they were trying to hold off Liberty who was making
a run there at the end. I think there may
have been a couple of other players fouled out. Still,
you know, if you put her, I don't care how
deep you go into the bench. If you're still putting
her in, that tells me she has some value to
the team. So I mean, if she's somebody that sat
there and never played, like, oh, I don't know Kenny
(08:42):
Brook's daughter, and you wanted to take a scholarship away,
then maybe I would understand that. But I believe Kenny
I could be wrong about this, But for my research,
I think I'm right. Kenny Brooks daughter does have a scholarship,
and people are and that's another thing that's rubbing people
the wrong way, Like how are you gonna let her,
you know, cut her lose, but then keep your daughter
on scholarship. Now that would be cut throat if you
(09:03):
let your own daughter go. And I understand that too.
It's just a tough situation, and I think one that
Kenny Brooks obviously didn't think was going to have this
long of legs to be still talking about it.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Boy, the nepotism thing, I mean, that's that's everywhere, right,
I mean Cal has Brad on his roster and eventually
on his coaching staff. I mean I'm at Western and
Rick Stansbury comes in and his son Noah is immediately
given a roster spot, likely as a walk on, but
still given opportunities that could have gone elsewhere. And that
makes for an interesting conversation if Kenny Brooks's daughter's on
(09:36):
the roster and people think Cassidy deserves it.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
But look, you're not the coach.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Okay, if you were, then you would be making these decisions.
And you know, you ever have a backseat driver, Shannon, Right,
somebody in the back seat or even in the front
seat that every single.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
And usually in the back seat driver is in the
back seat for a reason because they're a worse driver
than the person driving the car. All right, you know
what I'm saying, Like it's always the who's a bad driver,
who thinks they should be driving, Who's always back there
chirping your in your ear, don't die, watch out, watch out,
watch out.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
You know it's like shut up, speed up or slow down.
I not only have the backseat driver. I have the
passenger princess.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Shannon.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
No, it's like, sure, the heir is right, and you know,
we get the Starbucks or the funky Rooster whenever you
need it. It's like it's a whole. It's a whole,
another deal. But you know, at the same time, you
you know Kenny Brooks. Why isn't Kenny Brooks talked about
this yet?
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Well?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Does he talk about every single roster move that's made.
Maybe wait until the class is over and he'll speak
down it as a whole. I just think some people
are losing their mind on the conversation. Shannon, and I'm
in the camp where I'm over talking about it, like
this is gonna go away when Kenny Brooks wins games.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I am too.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
But here we are talking about it and the phone
lines light up. We've already got callers, and I don't
know what they want to talk about, because while I'm
trying to host the show, I can't screen the calls
and you know.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Host the show.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
But I would say that at least one of those
three on the on hold right now I'll probably want
to talk about it. So it's a tough situation. But
you already know how I feel about it. You know,
at the end of the day, I think Kenny Brooks
has one obligation and that is to try to make
this Kentucky team the best that it can be, regardless
of where the players on the roster are from. That's it,
(11:17):
bottom line. Some people don't like that answer. I understand.
We feel you know, you know a different level of
affection for players that are from our home state. It's
that Kentucky pride. I understand that too. But at the
end of the day, you got to make some tough decisions,
and if you don't think that you have a spot
on the team for that particular player from Kentucky, too bad.
(11:39):
That's I think that's it, and I think that's what
Kenny Brooks did. It's a cutthroat business man. I mean
radio is cutthroat too. It just is it's not always nice.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And he kept her on the roster for a year,
the same thing that Kyra Elsey did. I mean, this
is a player that's had a lot of injuries in
the past. We don't know her medical history, we don't
know the reasons why Kenny Brooks would make these decisions,
but we jumped to conclusions and in this internet age, Shannon,
I mean, everybody's got to have a take immediately, and
it just it does a disservice to people that are
trying to make decisions and need some patience. I don't know, Shannon,
(12:13):
Am I wrong? Like that just feels like a societal thing.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
It is.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, here's one more little nugget with the whole Cassidy
role thing. And then we'll take a break and take
some of your casts. You know, they have the Best
of Lexington votes that like, you know, the Best of
Lexington for like drive.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So Tom Leach and now we're having this conversation off
the air, and he was telling me that in the
Best of Lexington magazine that came out, they had favorite
women's basketball player. Yeah, number one was Georgia Amore. Number
two Cassidy Row. So may I think that probably just
shows you the popularity.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
That she has.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Even though maybe she didn't play a whole lot, she
obviously has done some things off the court that makes
fans really love her. She's one of the most beloved
players right there with the voting on the Kentucky team.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
So yeah, and and goes back to maybe something that
Cal used to say, and I think maybe even was
it Rup or Joe Joe b had this moniker as well.
They weren't going to recruit somebody from the state of
Kentucky unless they were going to be really good. I mean,
unless they are going to be a starter and somebody
that plays a lot, and if not, you're going to
have that extra baggage of and when is Richie going
to play? And when is you know, when is this
(13:23):
going to happen?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
You know? Why does she get more minutes?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Why is he So it's a it's a burden, but
it's some that should be welcomed because it means these
people care, right, I mean, it's a good problem to
have in a lot of places, because the opposite is
is what indifference? Right, I mean it's just not even
caring about who's on the roster apathy. Yeah, right exactly.
So I mean good problem to have. But at the
(13:46):
same time, we've seen some passionate responses over the last
couple of days and looking forward to not talking about
it anymore.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Hey, if I'm nine to two eight zero twenty two
eighty seven, we'll see if the callers want to talk
about we won't talk about it anymore unless the callers
want to talk about it, and we hey, we're doing
this show for you. If it weren't for the listeners,
Billy and I would just be sitting here talking to ourselves.
So we'll talk about what do you want to talk about?
Eight five to nine, two eighth twenty two eighty seven.
We'll be right back on the KSR pre Show.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
All right, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
It is the KSR Pre Show. Eight five nine, two
to eight oh, twenty two eighty seven. Shannon the Dude,
Billy Rutlige. We'll get to the phones in just a minute.
But Final four weekend coming up. Billy, are you excited
about the Final four? We got all one seeds for
the first time since two thousand and eight. Are you
looking forward to any of any of the games coming
up this weekend?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah? I am.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I mean, I think I saw a graphic that said,
out of the top ten Kim Palm teams of all
time since ninety six and ninety seven, four of the
top ten or in the Final four. This year we've
gotten a lot of chalk. But maybe that's because of
a reason, because there are some really good teams in
the Final four.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
This year.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
I was.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I was really excited, and then I got the homework
assignment of five facts about Duke yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
That's try, Well, you kind of got jobbed on that
because Mario actually drew out Duke and then you weren't
there to defend yourself, so they kind of just gave
you Duke. I think you had you had Florida at first,
so Mario stole Florida.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
From you and gave you Duke.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I mean, I'm from Florida, so it was Mario. Great facts,
but no, no, But you know what, we'll have some
Duke facts a little later today on KSR. And unfortunately,
both of the SEC teams in the final four will
play each other, so it won't be an all SEC
national title. But shan'ton give me a team. I mean,
who do you think? I mean, you're not gonna be
on the show on Monday.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
So I think, well, I mean, I picked Auburn in
my bracket, which is overall not doing very well at all.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Of the group dead exactly last.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
But if I get the national champion, I'll probably get
a lot of extra points which will leap frog me
at least over one person, and I will not finish last,
So give me or eagle who. By the way, I've
got five interesting facts that I'll be giving you about
university or Auburn University.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Of your team coming up later on today.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Auburn is a actually say, Florida is a two and
a half point favorite. Auburn's the dog in this one.
You know what, I would take Auburn in the two
and a half points on DraftKings.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
What do you what do you say?
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I gotta go Florida. I mean this is the team
I picked to win the national place bracket. Yeah, oh yeah,
I'll take it. Points I don't I don't think that's
too many to take the money line. So I'm taking
Florida and Todd Golden to get it done this year.
But man, did Duke look good versus Alabama. I'm a
little worried about that Duke National Championship game. If they
can get past Hues, Duke's a five and a half
(16:32):
point favorite. You know what, I don't know that I
would pick Houston money line, but I would take Houston
in five and a half. I think I think there's
going to be a one possession game at the end.
So and they're good defensively, they might keep it close.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
But anybody but but Duke.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Right.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I mean, here's the thing. If Auburn wins or Florida wins, I'm.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Okay with that. It's SEC right.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
If Houston wins, I don't have any strong opinion one
way or the other about Houston. You know, that's a
team that's been knocking on the door for a while.
If they got it, I'd be fine with that. Well,
it can't have Duke win another national title, right.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yeah, I mean I guess perfect world, Houston wins it, right,
because Florida or Auburn does, then you've got them squawking
about it for years to come in the SEC. So
I've really come to love Kelvin Sampson. I've I've read
more into his journey into college basketball. He kind of
did it like Pat Kelsey. Remember when Pat was walking
around asking people to come to the game. When he
(17:28):
first came on Louis's campus. It was kind of the
same thing at Houston with a program that hadn't achieved
a lot. And he's he's he's done a lot in
his time there. So I'm rooting for him as much
as anybody in these in these next couple of games.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
That on the women's side, you got Texas and South
Carolina that game is actually tonight, and then Yukon and
U Cola.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
So I think we won seeds. Yeah right, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Let's go to the phones and talk to David. Is up. First,
Hey David, what's up?
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (18:31):
Guys are this morning doing well?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Good? Man?
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Good? Okay? Real quickly on the coaching thing, and it's
very outside of the loop on this. First of all,
I think a coach should get some legally, I have regard.
I agree with you as far as the best players
should be out there, but when it comes to a
player's son for dollar, they have some insight information of
(18:58):
the middle forty two of the testness all that. So,
you know, Toby had Sean and uh, coaches, I'm sorry,
I was, yeah, but you know, I rather have a
situation like that in twals.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
The kids the.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Last name Sharp had never played, you know, at all
in there. But mainly the reason I wanted to call
was you were talking about eating five of that swinky
wondering about whether it's gonna hurt you, and then following
that up he said that this was your final day
(19:38):
before that's this was kind of ironic.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Oh yeah, well, f final final day with.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Final day with us for for a week before he's
in a beach chair.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Inspiration, inspiration, data, government and tribe. Uh issue on most
I guess there may be a few things out there,
but uh, you know college students of the.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, they were fine. I'm just saying there's
a lot worse things.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
You can take.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, those are best time.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Yeah, I thought you was achieved the where you followed
up about talking about Twinkie with today it was your
final that's right?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, yeah, all right, David, thanks for the college. Yeah,
I'll take a bite out of it. Golden sponge cake
with cream, creamy feeling. When's the last time you ever
think about a Twinkie?
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Though?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Like, why do you have all those Twinkies in there?
They were in there? What for?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Covi is a white elephant? In December of twenty three
and I got the Twinkie package and then somebody stole
it from me, and I stole it right back.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I said, you're not going to take my Twinkie.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Here's the thing though, if you've got it in December
of twenty three, these things only had a month shelf life.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
It says January twenty four, beast of exactly. I think
those were bought many months before it was given. Gotcha, Okay,
but it it is like a Christmas box, So I'll
take a bite out of it.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Coming up next segment, let's go to Peggy. What's up, Peggy?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Huh shinnon? Enjoy the show, you all. I just want
clarification on what has seemed to me to be a buzzword,
and that is chalky. What exactly does that mean?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Chalky?
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Yes, and where does the chalk comeing to the meaning?
I assume it just means top team.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, that's what it means.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Yeah, like all the favorites, like this year, all the
one seeds are in the final four, so they say
that's chalk. Now where that came from, Billy? I don't
know if I have the exact explanation. You may have
to rely on Google to help us out with this,
but I think it's just like if you were to
use it like a piece of chalk. That's that's where
it comes from. I don't know why it's chalk. I
(22:03):
don't know why it's not pencil or pen or sharpie.
I guess sharpie is a term that we use sometimes.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
But yeah, chalk as a sports term is interesting. I'm
gonna have to find that out. Maybe I'll have it
by the end of the break here, Shannon, But yeah, all.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Right, Peggy, Well stay tuned. We'll give you the answer
coming up after the break. Okay, thanks for the call.
We appreciate it. Hey five nine two eight oh twenty
two eighty seven we're gonna take a break and we'll
have the official explanation as to the origination of the
term chalky. Coming up next on the KSRP pre Show.
All the hard hitting topics today. That's right, ks our Apprecio.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Five nine, twenty two eighty seven. Try out.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I'm playing some beachy music just to get me, you know,
in the in the vibe of being on the beach.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I'm kind of already there mentally. Yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Good.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
I'm gonna keep clocking in along with Drew. I'm gonna
be joining for Drewapalooza a couple of times over the
next week or so.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Looking forward to that.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
You know, while I'm down there on the beach enjoying
a margarita and the sunshine, I may have to tune
in on the iHeartRadio app and listen to some Drew Palooza.
Forbody was saying, why are we not calling it Lalla padrusa?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Okay, Yeah, I like that. I felt like that it
may work a little bit. That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Before we get back to the phones, a little bit
of transfer portal news.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I know this is your favorite topic, Billy.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Well, do you want to hear about chalk first, or
we want to do transfer? Oh yeah, oh yeah, what's
what's the definition for chalk? So yeah, chalk is originally
a horse racing term. When a horse is the favorite
or has the most money bet on it, that horse
is termed the chalk. This comes from pre computer eras
with bookies. When a bookie would record a bed on
a blackboard, the odds would change over and over, and
(23:40):
as more and more people bet on the favorite, the
horse became known as the chalk because the horse's name
would disappear and chalk dust as the bookie constantly erased
and lowered the horse's odds.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
So there you go.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
The original definition of chalk according to Racehorse Magazine.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I knew it had something to do with a piece
of chalk. I didn't know that it went back to
horse racing.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
And now all the favorites are winning in the NCAA tournament.
So we have a shawkey NCAA tournament.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
See the things you'll learn on the KSR. Appreciate you
never know, you just never know. Quick portal news. Yeah,
we've got the dead period going on now that runs
till next Friday. And we found out that a couple
of players were visited by Mark Pope, and those two
players who's reported are Pittsburgh transfer Jalen Lowe and you
(24:28):
got Jacksonville State's Jaren Pierre, who I believe Drew Franklin
mentioned yesterday on the show. So if you want to,
you know, dig into your research and find out about
those guys, go for it. I'm not going to like
go too deep into the weeds about the transfer portal
just because Billy, until they commit here. You know, we
could break down every player and that could be the
entire show of guys in the transfer portal, but ninety
(24:51):
nine percent of those players we would spend our time
talking about wouldn't end up being here anyway. I think
there's a lot of I like this term. I heard
it earlier today. May have been Tom Leach that said
portal panic. You think we got a lot of portal
panic and Big Blue Nation. Every time that Mark Pope
doesn't get a guy that he's targeting in the portal,
there's there's panic.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
So do you like portal panic? I do. No, I
like it. I love alliteration.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
So I'm with the portal panic, and there seems to
be a lot in Big Blue Nation. But I mean,
think of the names that have been brought up. You know,
not ones come to Kentucky. They did get the guy
from Tulane, but Donovan Dent, the Moon Gwothe, Kishan Hall
to a degree, Silas Demriy we thought was a lock
to go to Kentucky. You know, these guys are going
to places what like UCLA staying at San Diego State
(25:40):
or UCF to Auburn for Kishon Hall and then like
Yukon for Demory. So it's like, why is Kentucky not
getting in the mix there? You know, I'm not freaking out.
I've got a little patience. I think about when Mark
Pope filled out the roster last year. It wasn't even
until late until April. There's a lot of moving parts
in this, so I'm like you, Shannon, I kind of
wait until they commit before I get too worked up
(26:01):
about it. But I think Matt said the term our
fan base isn't built for the portal, and I think
there's some of them that aren't, and then they're looking
for immediate gratification. But there is a sense of he's
got to get some big players.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Well, there's there's one name. I'll give you one name.
The UA B guy.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
No that I haven't really heard anybody talking about it,
but he's on their target list. But I looked at like,
you know his stats, and like what type of player
he is? And no, no Bradshaw, Yeah is Vonimir Visits? No,
it's Reed Bailey from Davidson. Let me tell you about
this guy six foot eleven, the guy who can score.
(26:39):
He averaged nineteen points of Davidson shoots forty one percent
from the three at six foot eleven. So I think
of a guy that, like, you know, could replace Andrew Carr.
I haven't really heard anybody talk too much about him.
I don't think that Kentucky has contacted him.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yet, Billy.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
But a guy that six foot eleven and can shoot
the three forty one percent, that sounds like a guy
like to have on my team.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Was named the most improved player in his conference last year.
I definitely think that that could be somebody that Kentucky
could get a look at. Anybody that can shoot the
three at a high clip I think has a place.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Right Yeah, I mean, especially with that size.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Oh yeah, that's that's what Pope's looking for and and
those bigs to be able to have some passing ability, right,
So that's you saw how important it was with the
Maury Williams.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Now, let's see if they can duplicate that, because I
don't think Brandon Garrison is going to be that guy,
despite he got better. But yeah, I don't think you
want him being your one right now?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Free bird? What's up? Free bird?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Guess how many twinkies you have a left field of
that thump?
Speaker 3 (27:40):
I think I got two left in Lexington and one
with Shannon and Louisville that he's about to eat.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
Well, you need to save one of him for like
the thirty year anniversary for you guys, Hittable.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
There you make it to thirty, we've already made three.
I think you can.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
You can eat that thing of apocalypse. I need to
chaos our free show. Goodbye. So I'm driving out to
Western Kentucky from my last day and work for the weekend.
It's wet out here, boys. Uh and uh, Shannon, you
have a great vacation. I don't know how many of
this is for you this year, already about four yds.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
No, this is number one, this is nu this is
my first day. I've taken all those trips.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
He gets to go on for you, But somebody's got
to stay in the studio. But as soon as he
gets back, he goes on vacation.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Why don't you cry about it some more cool back,
all right, free Bird, Hey be careful out there, man,
Yeah it is. It's really wet out there. We've had
a lot of rain, I know, a lot of flooding.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
So everybody be safe out there, absolutely, And and even
if you're just driving in it. I mean, it's easy
to hydroplane on these interstates, Shannon, So best of luck
to you, Free Bird going out to that.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
That's part of the state. Right now.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
I've got something I got to Yeah, I say, you
were telling me during the break that something happened, and
I want to I want to hear about it because
you wouldn't tell me during the break.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
You said, want me to save it for the air yesterday.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
I'm like, Yeah, I lived my life on the radio,
and so I've I've got to do the same today, Shannon.
Do you tip when you get a carryout order? If
you are to order from a restaurant and you physically
drive to the location and pick it up, are you
gonna still tip when you pick up that food?
Speaker 1 (29:22):
I have a question for you.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
First, Am I going in to get the food or
are they bringing the food to you?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Go in? You have to go in?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Oh, okay, So I'm driving, I make the order, I'm
driving to the place, I'm going inside and picking up
the order.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Am I tipping? Yeah? No, I had.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Did some in laws come in last night? We had
a one hundred dollars bill. I went to go pick
up the food and I tipped five dollars on the bill.
I felt really bad, but I was told by the
fiance that I should not feel bad for not tipping
on carryout orders. Shannon, I don't know where the line is.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
The line is for me and something. We've had this
conversation on KSR in the past. If I you're cooking
the food, that's your job, Okay. Now when you're bringing
the food to me, some people would say, well, that's
also the server's job. But you know, I understand servers
aren't making They're making less than minimum wage, right, They're relying.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Entirely off tips.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
But it's different if I am going to the place
and going in to get the food. Now I'll tip.
If I do carry out and they bring it out
to my car, to your car. Sure, okay, I'll tip.
You made the effort to bring it to my car.
But if i'm I mean, all you did was cook
the food and put it in a box.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I'm paying for it. No, I'm not tipping you. I'm
not well.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Tipping culture has gotten out of handle it.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
No, it's completely now, not a little bit.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
No, tipping culture is completely out of hand. It's out
of control.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
I want to help them because you know, they don't
make even minimum wage, and so when that's not my
likelihood depends on tipping, I come in and give them
a five dollars tip on one hundred dollars bill. I
feel like a horrible human being.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
But I see, now that's another thing.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Though.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
You also didn't order like to to go boxes. You
ordered one hundred dollars worth of food. So I mean
that might be where I would make the exception if
I'm ordering a large amount of food one hundred dollars
and I going to get Yeah, I made tip there.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
It wasn't even it wasn't that many boxes.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
It was just a couple.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
But I mean that's the that's where I'm trying to
figure out. I mean, like you said, and we're going
to get some servers texting in and saying, you know,
I've just lost all respects for you, billy, and I
understand that.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Look it's again, you just said the word server. If
I'm coming in to get it, you're not serving me.
I'm coming in to get the food. Now, if you're
bringing it to me, that's where it's different. I think
that's where you get the tip, when you're coming over
to the table and you're filling up, you know, refilling
the waiting. Yeah, exactly, that's that's what you get a
tip for. Too many people think they deserve a tip
(31:45):
just because.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
They're at work.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Okay, so I make a subway sandwich with somebody, No,
they come around.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
If I go to a subway at subway tip. No,
we made that. Literally, it wasn't just you, exactly. I
told you what to do here, put a little cheese.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Okay, concession stand. I'm at rapperina, Absolutely no. Woman just
turned around and got a pretzel and a cheese for me. No,
I'm paying seven dollars. But they also want me to
add a twenty percent gratuity.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
No, and that's the other thing too. Now it starts
at twenty you know.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Oh, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
It used to start at like ten fifteen twenty or
fifteen eighteen twenty. Now it's like twenty twenty five sixty. No,
I'm not tipping you like that. That's ridiculous not doing it.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
There are time and places to tip and tip well,
but not everything.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Needs deserve as a tip. I don't think totally agree
with you. Let's go to Terry. What's up? Terry?
Speaker 5 (32:40):
Hey, Shannon, this questions for you. I'm going to make
you mark Pope at this moment. Can you tell me?
Can you give me an evaluation on the first year
of Billy the GM. Are you going to bring me
back under any kount of Are you going to put
him on the portal?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (32:58):
I just wonder you're a bad evaluation on Billy the GM.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Great question, Terry, Thanks for the call. First of all,
I hit the portal.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Well, I'm not gonna suggest I'm not going to Cassidy
row you. I'm not gonna say get out of here.
I'm gonna be looking into the transfer portal. I think
there's maybe some up and coming talent who can maybe
manage this whole thing a little bit better. But I'm
going to look back at some of the blunders that
you may have had, some of the things that have
fallen through the cracks over the time, you know, over
(33:27):
the last year or so. I think I remember, Uh,
let's see what was it exactly.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Didn't you screw something up? I think a couple of
tonight you screwed up?
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Did you forget come readily to mind? Do you forget
to bring something like I've kept to remote a float
for like over a year.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
I think the boat was still floating before you came along.
I don't think there. I don't think there's there's not
any water in the boat when I came along.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Here's the one the good thing you do, like you
like when we have to record stuff with Matt, Here's
the thing that you do that makes it a lot
easier for me. Right, So a little inside baseball behind
the curtains, Like every week Matt has certain spots that
he wants to record, and it's like, you know, pulling
teeth or try to get him record spots like, oh
(34:11):
my gosh, imagine you know, not wanting to record spots.
But Billy does a good job of putting all that
stuff together, emailing it to Matt and I and then
when the show's over.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
We can just go before. I had to like try.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
To sort through all that stuff while I'm producing the show,
while I'm trying to be, you know, an active contributor
to the show, and it was an absolute nightmare. So
I will say that you have done a really good
job in taking some of the load off of me
being the GM.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
So overall, Billy, I will say, I will give you
give me a grade. I'll give you an a minus.
I'll give you an a minus.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Just because I can't find it in my soul to
give you a soliday, I'll give you an a minus.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I didn't have a run where I made the Sweet
sixteen or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Bump it up to a solid.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Ay now for you, I'm just saying, like there's a
lot of GMS out there. I wouldn't put you in
the top sixteen. I'm more of a round to thirty
two guys.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
I'm not in my top twenty. Can I make the
top twenty?
Speaker 1 (35:03):
No, I just said thirty two. You're thirty two. Don't
you don't get me in the top twenty. You won
one game.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I mean you're you're basically on par with Kentucky basketball
before last year.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Yeah, I beat Troy, but I lost to Illinois. That's right,
you're saying exactly what Billy did exactly, but overall, but
overall you're you're pretty solid. I'll give you an eight minus. Well,
thank you, buddy. I appreciate that. And I'll have to
send out an updated remote schedule here later.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
See. There you go, my rating up to a.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
That's another thing because sometimes we don't know where we're
going until Billy sends out the remote schedule, which we
haven't done a remote in a while.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
It's been a while.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Yeah, so yeah, looking forward to when we start those
up again.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Yep, eight five, nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven.
We'll take more of your phone calls coming up next,
and I'm going to take a bite out of this
twinkie in our final segment, yes, and see if I
can't make it through to the end, we'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
It is the KSR Apprecial.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Final segment of the KSR appre Show. We'll get back
to the phones in just a minute, but first, let
me tell you that addiction has hit Kentucky harder than anywhere.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
But there is hope. I am hope.

If you would check that out. A good read by
a Kentucky native, I Am Hope. Hey, Pop nine two
eight Oho twenty two eighty seven. Let's go back to
the phones and talk to Sam. Good morning Sam, what's
up Sam?
Speaker 5 (36:47):
Hey, guys, how's it going all right?
Speaker 7 (36:49):
So there's quite a few artificial ingredients in twinkies. One
of them is Cellulo's gum. You can actually find that
in rocket fuel. Wanted to get you your allsie idea
on that have a good.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Weekend rocket fuel. So I'm about to consume rocket fuel
live on the air.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
That's what it sounds like.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
You get a little sugar rush, a little rocket fuel,
I mean, so you're gonna have the energy to drive
down to the beach today.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
All right, before I eat this twinkie, we're we're talking
about uh nasty things to eat. I gotta get your
opinion on this twinkies expired. Do you know who the
Hartford yard Goats are?
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I have I've heard this before? Is that a minor league?
Speaker 1 (37:27):
B it is? It's a double A double A team.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
They've got what I think might be the nastiest thing
you can buy or not.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Well, you can buy it. You can buy it and
neaed it.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
I don't think they're gonna give They should give them away.
You had a concession stand and it's called the yard
Goat Dog Yard Goat hot Dog.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
So it's a hot dog, all beef hot.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Dog on board already, so you're gonna have to They
throw some terrible top.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
They throw on some caramel, caramelized onions. Okay, okay, little
brown mustard, all the toppings that you would have in
a bee.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Sounds really good, right, I'm on board. Here's the kicker.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
They then dip it in goat milk and serve it
to you a hot dog dipped in goat milk for
the yard Goats.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
And I'm out just as quick as I was on.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
You're a milk drinker. Though you like milk, you're a
psychle path, remember you don't like Yeah, but why.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Am I dipping my hot dog in goat milk?
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Because the yard goats.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
I've never had goat milk, so I'm just gonna assume
it's worse than cow milk. But I don't want milk
anywhere near my ballpark. Dog can seem like a good mix.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Don't understand why they would do that, Like I, you know,
can you not just serve up the hot dog with
the onions and the mustard and tall a day.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Before I take it with the yard goat's milk? I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
You're taking it a little bit too far having your
mascot's milk available at the concession stand.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Shannon.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, so it's a hard no from you, it sounds like,
and it's a no for me too. What's a yes?
Speaker 7 (38:55):
There?
Speaker 1 (38:56):
You go a little asmr there? Isn't that what they
call that stuff?
Speaker 3 (38:59):
It is the Yeah, that's a little close to the mic.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Yeah, all right, here goes nothing. You're seeing me right now?
I'm about to time.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Finally he'll eat one of these twinkies.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
About to take a bite out of a twinkie that
is fourteen month past, fourteen months past its expiration date.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Here goes nothing. Wow, there he goes.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
In twenty fourteen, the world record with one hundred and
twenty twinkies eating in.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Six six minutes. It might be a little mold on
this too. There's some black spot on the bottom.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Oh is that green on the bottom of that?
Speaker 1 (39:27):
No, it's black. It gets mold like I'm eating mold
right now.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
And how's it taste? Because I know that thing is.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
A twinkie, A little crunchy. Pretty good?
Speaker 3 (39:35):
So you ready to survive the go to nuclear war?
It's ready to sit in a cellar for one hundred
and twenty years before your grandchildren need some sub sustenance.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Pretty good. We'll get some coffee to wash it down.
Oh looks good. That's it's just like an elite combo.
Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
If you were in the morning and it's some coffee,
if you were a good co host, you would grab
one of those twinkies because you've got the box right there,
and you would do the same thing. Okay, all right,
are you going to be the designated survivor? Like you know,
if this expired twinkie kills me. You're gonna be the
one that's okay, Okay, now he's going for it, all.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Right, hurry up.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
We only got a minute. Take a bite of it.
Open up your twinkie. Do you see that big box? Yeah,
somebody's already eating them.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Oh yeah, there's only one left after this, I think,
so all right, let's see what you got.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Oh my god, it's like an egg girl, or.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Like a fortune cookie. It's fout as crunchy as a
fortune cookie. Oh what do you think?
Speaker 3 (40:30):
It's still good?
Speaker 1 (40:31):
I mean it's a little it's a little rough around
the edges. The center is still.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Oh, the aftertaste is kind of kicking in now or
taste taste. A little bit of that tastes a little.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
Sour, a little flaky anyway, like a nature valley bar.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
I'll keep you up on me.

It is the KSR pre Show Friday, April fourth.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
I'm Shannon to the Dude along with Billy Relich.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Give us a call on the Clark's Puppet Shop phone
line at eight five to nine two eight oh twenty
two eighty seven Beureau Whiskey Thief Call of the Day.
Can also send us a text at five oo two
two six five six six five six KSR pre Show
being brought to you by Italics Fine Italian donning in Lexington.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
I am in the.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Loisville studio where Billy our Sports was yesterday, and I
know that because I've got the evidence as I walked
into the studio this morning.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I've got right here an expired.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Twinkie that you promised to bring me, so I know
that you were here yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
What were you doing in the Lovell Studio.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I had to run Terry Miner show from three to
six yesterday and I will be doing it again today.
Happy to bring you one of those Twinkie Shannons since
those they've been sitting it there for quite a while.
But I've got a bone to pick with I don't
know if it's it's you, or maybe it's iHeart but
you guys got hella snacks in the Louis ofv A building.
(01:05):
I'm talking assortments of chips, granola bars, fruit snacks, a
full fridge of drinks and sodas, coffee machine, a coffee
machine with several different flag got just three.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
You got a little crunchy oats and honey granola bar,
got me some trail mix.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Those are my snacks. By the way. You didn't get
into my snack Powell, did you.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I certainly did. And I didn't need them at the
studio either. I mean I was putting them in my
backpack like I was trying to save for What are
you doing?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Like you're robbing the place I'm gonna be taking. I'm
gonna be taking inventory later and I'm going to know
exactly how many you stole from me.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I'm like a white squirrel trying to save my nuts
for when I actually need some snacks shading because we
don't have any snacks here. I mean we occasionally get
a bag of Dorito's or something. But I was a
little jealous. I also enjoyed having to call Rick Ryder
for advice on how to work equipment.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Shannon.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I was trying to get the video cameras to work,
and they're like, call Rick Rider, He'll help you with it.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
How does reck know more about technology than you?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I mean exactly, That's what I was asking myself, any
piece of technology. But Rick was helped walk me through
a couple things and h and we got through it.
So I'll be back again later today. If you're gonna
be sticking around, Shannon, I doubt it.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
But well, hands off the hands off the ram noodles.
First of all, those are the like that's the premium
part of the snacks. You know, Like we've got the
camera where you just add water and throw it in
the microwave for two minutes.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's bougie over there. I mean I could have a
whole dinner. I mean, you got a game to run
that night. I mean you don't have to go out
and get something to eat. You got everything you need
in that kitchen. So I was a little jealous yesterday.
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do later, little tease
for you. I'm gonna actually do what Ryan Lemon was
too chicken to do. You see this expire twinkie.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I'm gonna eat a bite. I'm gonna take a bite.
I'm not gonna eat.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I don't know if I'm eat the whole thing. I'm
gonna take a bite of it and see. Because I've
always heard that twinkies never expire. Now I think that's
an urban legend. Obviously they do expire. Otherwise why would
it have an expiration date. But as I've said before,
Billy expiration dates, to me, they're just a suggestion.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Sues.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, that's like, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
We need to sell it by then, you know, But
you can eat a Twinkie and I don't think anything's
going to bother you. I mean, I used to drink
out of a water hose when I was a kid.
I used to eat dirt as a kid. Okay, I'm
still here. So I think if I ate a Twinkie
that's fourteen months past the expiration date, I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Think it's going to kill me. And if it does,
then you know what killed me.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I'm gonna be like a scientific experiment live on the
air later today.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
You got me having flashbacks of people calling me soft
for not drinking out of garden hoses as a child.
That was I do remember that show. But you know,
as the caller said yesterday, it's the things that package
many of the things that deteriorates, or I guess expires
before the actual food.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So you tell me the plastic expires before the twinkie.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I don't know what the caller was. Don't think I
believe that either.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Well, I think that that twinkie might be a little
harder than one that you could get off the shelf.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Maybe today, Oh it is. I could throw this thing
up against the wall and oh yeah, dent the wall.
Oh yeah, that thing's not breaking.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
It's uh but you know what, take your first bite,
then see if you'd like to finish the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
But I'm looking forward to that. You doing that, Shane, Okay,
we'll do that a little bit later on.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I'm going to be taking next week off, so this
is my final day.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Here with you for a while.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
So yeah, we're going to make it an ask anything
Friday eight five nine two eight h twenty two eighty seven.
You're going to be here by yourself on the pre
show next week. Do you have some good lineup, like
a good guest lineup? Do you want to reveal any
of that or do you want to just wait and
surprise everybody next week? I'm going to give you the
opportunity to tell us what you got.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Well, I had a tease yesterday a former college basketball
coach might be making his return to the airwaves, but
I want to generally leave it as a surprise. You
don't know who's going to be coming in every morning.
The problem is, Shane, and the way that I've booked
the show is that I think Monday is the only
day I still need to book, and that's at this
point the hardest day to book, right, I mean that's
the day that's the soonest and probably the busiest for most.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
People book in the show backwards.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
You booked it from front, I booked it Awards, and
now it's Friday, just a few days before, and it's
even harder to get people to come in on Monday.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
So we'll see.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
But we always enjoy when Shannon the Dude goes away,
the show kind of turns into Colin Cowherd Sports Radio,
and and you know, we have an opportunity to do
things a little different. So you and Ryan uh tripping again?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Oh yeah together, We're already uh, we've already been texting
back and forth this morning. We're trying to find our
place that we're going to watch the Final four oh
tomorrow night when we're down there.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Uh, you make sure nobody's staying in your airbnb hope
not no cleaning ladies or not, but wanted visitors.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, we're looking forward to it, all right. So Billy,
it's Friday before the Final four. We'll obviously talk a
little bit about that. We got the transfer portal stuff
that continues, although we're in a dead period technically right
now until next Friday.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Strange time of year for sports.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
You know, Yesterday we open up the phone lines and
all anybody seemed to want to talk about was again,
the Cassidy Row situation. And you know, I'm kind of
past it at this point, but I mean, we're here
to talk about what you guys want to talk about.
And when we open up the phone lines and the
first three callers are asking about Cassidy Row, that tells
me that this story still hasn't gone away. And you know,
(06:14):
I don't know if this is something that's going to
be a storyline all the way throughout the summer until
we get to next year's college basketball season and see
how the women's team does. But Billy, yesterday, people still
want to talk about this Cassidy Row situation, and it's
something that's stuck in a lot of Big Blue Nations crawl.
After it happened about what a week and a half ago,
(06:34):
people were still talking about it.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Well, it may be a fault of Big Blue Nation
that they care too much, right, I mean, that is
maybe something that's rearing its ugly head a little bit here.
I mean, when one of our own represents the University
of Kentucky, there's a different feeling, right, I mean, when
Reed Shepherd and Travis Perry did it for the men's team,
even guys before that. I mean, I think there's a
(06:56):
sense of pride there for a lot of people in
the Commonwealth. And so when this girl commits to the
University of Kentucky at fourteen, right, she shows that pride
or fans are able to show that pride with her
being on the roster. She stitched sticks through coaching changes,
and she's a model of how you should represent yourself. Then, absolutely,
I understand why people may be upset that that player
(07:18):
is not on the roster, But in my opinion, Shannon,
you have to give the coach every opportunity to fill
out the roster.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
The way that he wants.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
And I think Brian the Intern wrote a column on KSR.
I mean, we're going way back if we mentioned Brian
the Intern, and the title is nobody is owed a
Kentucky basketball roster spot. And I happen to agree with that.
Shannon and Matt didn't like it that we me, you
and Matt seem to all be on the same side
of this argument. Imagine that he was like, maybe I
need to reevaluate if I'm on the same side as Billy.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, you're gonna change what you think just because it
aligns with two of your coworkers.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
No, No, don't overthink it, Matt. I mean this is
something that can be split. But look, I mean, I'm
not gonna just give somebody a roster because they were
on the roster last year. You've got to prove to
me in this transfer portal era that you can make
a difference on this team. Now, there's varying opinions on
if she could have made a difference, and I think
the caller yesterday made made some good points. She was
(08:13):
the first off the bench. She's a good free throw shooter,
so she she wasn't a scrub right.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Good ball handler. You know, somebody handler cut in.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You know, she came in in that Liberty game when
they were trying to hold off Liberty who was making
a run there at the end. I think there may
have been a couple of other players fouled out. Still,
you know, if you put her, I don't care how
deep you go into the bench. If you're still putting
her in, that tells me she has some value to
the team. So I mean, if she's somebody that sat
there and never played, like, oh, I don't know Kenny
(08:42):
Brook's daughter, and you wanted to take a scholarship away,
then maybe I would understand that. But I believe Kenny
I could be wrong about this, But for my research,
I think I'm right. Kenny Brooks daughter does have a scholarship,
and people are and that's another thing that's rubbing people
the wrong way, Like how are you gonna let her,
you know, cut her lose, but then keep your daughter
on scholarship. Now that would be cut throat if you
(09:03):
let your own daughter go. And I understand that too.
It's just a tough situation, and I think one that
Kenny Brooks obviously didn't think was going to have this
long of legs to be still talking about it.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Boy, the nepotism thing, I mean, that's that's everywhere, right,
I mean Cal has Brad on his roster and eventually
on his coaching staff. I mean I'm at Western and
Rick Stansbury comes in and his son Noah is immediately
given a roster spot, likely as a walk on, but
still given opportunities that could have gone elsewhere. And that
makes for an interesting conversation if Kenny Brooks's daughter's on
(09:36):
the roster and people think Cassidy deserves it.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
But look, you're not the coach.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Okay, if you were, then you would be making these decisions.
And you know, you ever have a backseat driver, Shannon, Right,
somebody in the back seat or even in the front
seat that every single.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
And usually in the back seat driver is in the
back seat for a reason because they're a worse driver
than the person driving the car. All right, you know
what I'm saying, Like it's always the who's a bad driver,
who thinks they should be driving, Who's always back there
chirping your in your ear, don't die, watch out, watch out,
watch out.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
You know it's like shut up, speed up or slow down.
I not only have the backseat driver. I have the
passenger princess.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Shannon.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
No, it's like, sure, the heir is right, and you know,
we get the Starbucks or the funky Rooster whenever you
need it. It's like it's a whole. It's a whole,
another deal. But you know, at the same time, you
you know Kenny Brooks. Why isn't Kenny Brooks talked about
this yet?
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Well?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Does he talk about every single roster move that's made.
Maybe wait until the class is over and he'll speak
down it as a whole. I just think some people
are losing their mind on the conversation. Shannon, and I'm
in the camp where I'm over talking about it, like
this is gonna go away when Kenny Brooks wins games.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I am too.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
But here we are talking about it and the phone
lines light up. We've already got callers, and I don't
know what they want to talk about, because while I'm
trying to host the show, I can't screen the calls
and you know.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Host the show.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
But I would say that at least one of those
three on the on hold right now I'll probably want
to talk about it. So it's a tough situation. But
you already know how I feel about it. You know,
at the end of the day, I think Kenny Brooks
has one obligation and that is to try to make
this Kentucky team the best that it can be, regardless
of where the players on the roster are from. That's it,
(11:17):
bottom line. Some people don't like that answer. I understand.
We feel you know, you know a different level of
affection for players that are from our home state. It's
that Kentucky pride. I understand that too. But at the
end of the day, you got to make some tough decisions,
and if you don't think that you have a spot
on the team for that particular player from Kentucky, too bad.
(11:39):
That's I think that's it, and I think that's what
Kenny Brooks did. It's a cutthroat business man. I mean
radio is cutthroat too. It just is it's not always nice.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And he kept her on the roster for a year,
the same thing that Kyra Elsey did. I mean, this
is a player that's had a lot of injuries in
the past. We don't know her medical history, we don't
know the reasons why Kenny Brooks would make these decisions,
but we jumped to conclusions and in this internet age, Shannon,
I mean, everybody's got to have a take immediately, and
it just it does a disservice to people that are
trying to make decisions and need some patience. I don't know, Shannon,
(12:13):
Am I wrong? Like that just feels like a societal thing.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
It is.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, here's one more little nugget with the whole Cassidy
role thing. And then we'll take a break and take
some of your casts. You know, they have the Best
of Lexington votes that like, you know, the Best of
Lexington for like drive.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So Tom Leach and now we're having this conversation off
the air, and he was telling me that in the
Best of Lexington magazine that came out, they had favorite
women's basketball player. Yeah, number one was Georgia Amore. Number
two Cassidy Row. So may I think that probably just
shows you the popularity.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
That she has.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Even though maybe she didn't play a whole lot, she
obviously has done some things off the court that makes
fans really love her. She's one of the most beloved
players right there with the voting on the Kentucky team.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
So yeah, and and goes back to maybe something that
Cal used to say, and I think maybe even was
it Rup or Joe Joe b had this moniker as well.
They weren't going to recruit somebody from the state of
Kentucky unless they were going to be really good. I mean,
unless they are going to be a starter and somebody
that plays a lot, and if not, you're going to
have that extra baggage of and when is Richie going
to play? And when is you know, when is this
(13:23):
going to happen?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
You know? Why does she get more minutes?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Why is he So it's a it's a burden, but
it's some that should be welcomed because it means these
people care, right, I mean, it's a good problem to
have in a lot of places, because the opposite is
is what indifference? Right, I mean it's just not even
caring about who's on the roster apathy. Yeah, right exactly.
So I mean good problem to have. But at the
(13:46):
same time, we've seen some passionate responses over the last
couple of days and looking forward to not talking about
it anymore.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Hey, if I'm nine to two eight zero twenty two
eighty seven, we'll see if the callers want to talk
about we won't talk about it anymore unless the callers
want to talk about it, and we hey, we're doing
this show for you. If it weren't for the listeners,
Billy and I would just be sitting here talking to ourselves.
So we'll talk about what do you want to talk about?
Eight five to nine, two eighth twenty two eighty seven.
We'll be right back on the KSR pre Show.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
All right, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
It is the KSR Pre Show. Eight five nine, two
to eight oh, twenty two eighty seven. Shannon the Dude,
Billy Rutlige. We'll get to the phones in just a minute.
But Final four weekend coming up. Billy, are you excited
about the Final four? We got all one seeds for
the first time since two thousand and eight. Are you
looking forward to any of any of the games coming
up this weekend?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah? I am.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I mean, I think I saw a graphic that said,
out of the top ten Kim Palm teams of all
time since ninety six and ninety seven, four of the
top ten or in the Final four. This year we've
gotten a lot of chalk. But maybe that's because of
a reason, because there are some really good teams in
the Final four.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
This year.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
I was.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I was really excited, and then I got the homework
assignment of five facts about Duke yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
That's try, Well, you kind of got jobbed on that
because Mario actually drew out Duke and then you weren't
there to defend yourself, so they kind of just gave
you Duke. I think you had you had Florida at first,
so Mario stole Florida.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
From you and gave you Duke.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I mean, I'm from Florida, so it was Mario. Great facts,
but no, no, But you know what, we'll have some
Duke facts a little later today on KSR. And unfortunately,
both of the SEC teams in the final four will
play each other, so it won't be an all SEC
national title. But shan'ton give me a team. I mean,
who do you think? I mean, you're not gonna be
on the show on Monday.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
So I think, well, I mean, I picked Auburn in
my bracket, which is overall not doing very well at all.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Of the group dead exactly last.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
But if I get the national champion, I'll probably get
a lot of extra points which will leap frog me
at least over one person, and I will not finish last,
So give me or eagle who. By the way, I've
got five interesting facts that I'll be giving you about
university or Auburn University.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Of your team coming up later on today.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Auburn is a actually say, Florida is a two and
a half point favorite. Auburn's the dog in this one.
You know what, I would take Auburn in the two
and a half points on DraftKings.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
What do you what do you say?
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I gotta go Florida. I mean this is the team
I picked to win the national place bracket. Yeah, oh yeah,
I'll take it. Points I don't I don't think that's
too many to take the money line. So I'm taking
Florida and Todd Golden to get it done this year.
But man, did Duke look good versus Alabama. I'm a
little worried about that Duke National Championship game. If they
can get past Hues, Duke's a five and a half
(16:32):
point favorite. You know what, I don't know that I
would pick Houston money line, but I would take Houston
in five and a half. I think I think there's
going to be a one possession game at the end.
So and they're good defensively, they might keep it close.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
But anybody but but Duke.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Right.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I mean, here's the thing. If Auburn wins or Florida wins, I'm.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Okay with that. It's SEC right.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
If Houston wins, I don't have any strong opinion one
way or the other about Houston. You know, that's a
team that's been knocking on the door for a while.
If they got it, I'd be fine with that. Well,
it can't have Duke win another national title, right.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yeah, I mean I guess perfect world, Houston wins it, right,
because Florida or Auburn does, then you've got them squawking
about it for years to come in the SEC. So
I've really come to love Kelvin Sampson. I've I've read
more into his journey into college basketball. He kind of
did it like Pat Kelsey. Remember when Pat was walking
around asking people to come to the game. When he
(17:28):
first came on Louis's campus. It was kind of the
same thing at Houston with a program that hadn't achieved
a lot. And he's he's he's done a lot in
his time there. So I'm rooting for him as much
as anybody in these in these next couple of games.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
That on the women's side, you got Texas and South
Carolina that game is actually tonight, and then Yukon and
U Cola.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
So I think we won seeds. Yeah right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (17:50):

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Let's go to the phones and talk to David. Is up. First,
Hey David, what's up?
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (18:31):
Guys are this morning doing well?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Good? Man?
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Good? Okay? Real quickly on the coaching thing, and it's
very outside of the loop on this. First of all,
I think a coach should get some legally, I have regard.
I agree with you as far as the best players
should be out there, but when it comes to a
player's son for dollar, they have some insight information of
(18:58):
the middle forty two of the testness all that. So,
you know, Toby had Sean and uh, coaches, I'm sorry,
I was, yeah, but you know, I rather have a
situation like that in twals.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
The kids the.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Last name Sharp had never played, you know, at all
in there. But mainly the reason I wanted to call
was you were talking about eating five of that swinky
wondering about whether it's gonna hurt you, and then following
that up he said that this was your final day
(19:38):
before that's this was kind of ironic.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Oh yeah, well, f final final day with.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Final day with us for for a week before he's
in a beach chair.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Inspiration, inspiration, data, government and tribe. Uh issue on most
I guess there may be a few things out there,
but uh, you know college students of the.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, they were fine. I'm just saying there's
a lot worse things.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
You can take.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, those are best time.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Yeah, I thought you was achieved the where you followed
up about talking about Twinkie with today it was your
final that's right?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, yeah, all right, David, thanks for the college. Yeah,
I'll take a bite out of it. Golden sponge cake
with cream, creamy feeling. When's the last time you ever
think about a Twinkie?
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Though?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Like, why do you have all those Twinkies in there?
They were in there? What for?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Covi is a white elephant? In December of twenty three
and I got the Twinkie package and then somebody stole
it from me, and I stole it right back.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I said, you're not going to take my Twinkie.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Here's the thing though, if you've got it in December
of twenty three, these things only had a month shelf life.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
It says January twenty four, beast of exactly. I think
those were bought many months before it was given. Gotcha, Okay,
but it it is like a Christmas box, So I'll
take a bite out of it.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Coming up next segment, let's go to Peggy. What's up, Peggy?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Huh shinnon? Enjoy the show, you all. I just want
clarification on what has seemed to me to be a buzzword,
and that is chalky. What exactly does that mean?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Chalky?
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Yes, and where does the chalk comeing to the meaning?
I assume it just means top team.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, that's what it means.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Yeah, like all the favorites, like this year, all the
one seeds are in the final four, so they say
that's chalk. Now where that came from, Billy? I don't
know if I have the exact explanation. You may have
to rely on Google to help us out with this,
but I think it's just like if you were to
use it like a piece of chalk. That's that's where
it comes from. I don't know why it's chalk. I
(22:03):
don't know why it's not pencil or pen or sharpie.
I guess sharpie is a term that we use sometimes.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
But yeah, chalk as a sports term is interesting. I'm
gonna have to find that out. Maybe I'll have it
by the end of the break here, Shannon, But yeah, all.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Right, Peggy, Well stay tuned. We'll give you the answer
coming up after the break. Okay, thanks for the call.
We appreciate it. Hey five nine two eight oh twenty
two eighty seven we're gonna take a break and we'll
have the official explanation as to the origination of the
term chalky. Coming up next on the KSRP pre Show.
All the hard hitting topics today. That's right, ks our Apprecio.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Five nine, twenty two eighty seven. Try out.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I'm playing some beachy music just to get me, you know,
in the in the vibe of being on the beach.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I'm kind of already there mentally. Yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Good.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
I'm gonna keep clocking in along with Drew. I'm gonna
be joining for Drewapalooza a couple of times over the
next week or so.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Looking forward to that.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
You know, while I'm down there on the beach enjoying
a margarita and the sunshine, I may have to tune
in on the iHeartRadio app and listen to some Drew Palooza.
Forbody was saying, why are we not calling it Lalla padrusa?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Okay, Yeah, I like that. I felt like that it
may work a little bit. That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Before we get back to the phones, a little bit
of transfer portal news.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I know this is your favorite topic, Billy.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Well, do you want to hear about chalk first, or
we want to do transfer? Oh yeah, oh yeah, what's
what's the definition for chalk? So yeah, chalk is originally
a horse racing term. When a horse is the favorite
or has the most money bet on it, that horse
is termed the chalk. This comes from pre computer eras
with bookies. When a bookie would record a bed on
a blackboard, the odds would change over and over, and
(23:40):
as more and more people bet on the favorite, the
horse became known as the chalk because the horse's name
would disappear and chalk dust as the bookie constantly erased
and lowered the horse's odds.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
So there you go.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
The original definition of chalk according to Racehorse Magazine.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I knew it had something to do with a piece
of chalk. I didn't know that it went back to
horse racing.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
And now all the favorites are winning in the NCAA tournament.
So we have a shawkey NCAA tournament.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
See the things you'll learn on the KSR. Appreciate you
never know, you just never know. Quick portal news. Yeah,
we've got the dead period going on now that runs
till next Friday. And we found out that a couple
of players were visited by Mark Pope, and those two
players who's reported are Pittsburgh transfer Jalen Lowe and you
(24:28):
got Jacksonville State's Jaren Pierre, who I believe Drew Franklin
mentioned yesterday on the show. So if you want to,
you know, dig into your research and find out about
those guys, go for it. I'm not going to like
go too deep into the weeds about the transfer portal
just because Billy, until they commit here. You know, we
could break down every player and that could be the
entire show of guys in the transfer portal, but ninety
(24:51):
nine percent of those players we would spend our time
talking about wouldn't end up being here anyway. I think
there's a lot of I like this term. I heard
it earlier today. May have been Tom Leach that said
portal panic. You think we got a lot of portal
panic and Big Blue Nation. Every time that Mark Pope
doesn't get a guy that he's targeting in the portal,
there's there's panic.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
So do you like portal panic? I do. No, I
like it. I love alliteration.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
So I'm with the portal panic, and there seems to
be a lot in Big Blue Nation. But I mean,
think of the names that have been brought up. You know,
not ones come to Kentucky. They did get the guy
from Tulane, but Donovan Dent, the Moon Gwothe, Kishan Hall
to a degree, Silas Demriy we thought was a lock
to go to Kentucky. You know, these guys are going
to places what like UCLA staying at San Diego State
(25:40):
or UCF to Auburn for Kishon Hall and then like
Yukon for Demory. So it's like, why is Kentucky not
getting in the mix there? You know, I'm not freaking out.
I've got a little patience. I think about when Mark
Pope filled out the roster last year. It wasn't even
until late until April. There's a lot of moving parts
in this, so I'm like you, Shannon, I kind of
wait until they commit before I get too worked up
(26:01):
about it. But I think Matt said the term our
fan base isn't built for the portal, and I think
there's some of them that aren't, and then they're looking
for immediate gratification. But there is a sense of he's
got to get some big players.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Well, there's there's one name. I'll give you one name.
The UA B guy.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
No that I haven't really heard anybody talking about it,
but he's on their target list. But I looked at like,
you know his stats, and like what type of player
he is? And no, no Bradshaw, Yeah is Vonimir Visits? No,
it's Reed Bailey from Davidson. Let me tell you about
this guy six foot eleven, the guy who can score.
(26:39):
He averaged nineteen points of Davidson shoots forty one percent
from the three at six foot eleven. So I think
of a guy that, like, you know, could replace Andrew Carr.
I haven't really heard anybody talk too much about him.
I don't think that Kentucky has contacted him.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yet, Billy.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
But a guy that six foot eleven and can shoot
the three forty one percent, that sounds like a guy
like to have on my team.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Was named the most improved player in his conference last year.
I definitely think that that could be somebody that Kentucky
could get a look at. Anybody that can shoot the
three at a high clip I think has a place.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Right Yeah, I mean, especially with that size.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Oh yeah, that's that's what Pope's looking for and and
those bigs to be able to have some passing ability, right,
So that's you saw how important it was with the
Maury Williams.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Now, let's see if they can duplicate that, because I
don't think Brandon Garrison is going to be that guy,
despite he got better. But yeah, I don't think you
want him being your one right now?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Free bird? What's up? Free bird?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Guess how many twinkies you have a left field of
that thump?
Speaker 3 (27:40):
I think I got two left in Lexington and one
with Shannon and Louisville that he's about to eat.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
Well, you need to save one of him for like
the thirty year anniversary for you guys, Hittable.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
There you make it to thirty, we've already made three.
I think you can.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
You can eat that thing of apocalypse. I need to
chaos our free show. Goodbye. So I'm driving out to
Western Kentucky from my last day and work for the weekend.
It's wet out here, boys. Uh and uh, Shannon, you
have a great vacation. I don't know how many of
this is for you this year, already about four yds.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
No, this is number one, this is nu this is
my first day. I've taken all those trips.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
He gets to go on for you, But somebody's got
to stay in the studio. But as soon as he
gets back, he goes on vacation.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Why don't you cry about it some more cool back,
all right, free Bird, Hey be careful out there, man,
Yeah it is. It's really wet out there. We've had
a lot of rain, I know, a lot of flooding.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
So everybody be safe out there, absolutely, And and even
if you're just driving in it. I mean, it's easy
to hydroplane on these interstates, Shannon, So best of luck
to you, Free Bird going out to that.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
That's part of the state. Right now.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
I've got something I got to Yeah, I say, you
were telling me during the break that something happened, and
I want to I want to hear about it because
you wouldn't tell me during the break.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
You said, want me to save it for the air yesterday.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
I'm like, Yeah, I lived my life on the radio,
and so I've I've got to do the same today, Shannon.
Do you tip when you get a carryout order? If
you are to order from a restaurant and you physically
drive to the location and pick it up, are you
gonna still tip when you pick up that food?
Speaker 1 (29:22):
I have a question for you.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
First, Am I going in to get the food or
are they bringing the food to you?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Go in? You have to go in?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Oh, okay, So I'm driving, I make the order, I'm
driving to the place, I'm going inside and picking up
the order.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Am I tipping? Yeah? No, I had.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Did some in laws come in last night? We had
a one hundred dollars bill. I went to go pick
up the food and I tipped five dollars on the bill.
I felt really bad, but I was told by the
fiance that I should not feel bad for not tipping
on carryout orders. Shannon, I don't know where the line is.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
The line is for me and something. We've had this
conversation on KSR in the past. If I you're cooking
the food, that's your job, Okay. Now when you're bringing
the food to me, some people would say, well, that's
also the server's job. But you know, I understand servers
aren't making They're making less than minimum wage, right, They're relying.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Entirely off tips.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
But it's different if I am going to the place
and going in to get the food. Now I'll tip.
If I do carry out and they bring it out
to my car, to your car. Sure, okay, I'll tip.
You made the effort to bring it to my car.
But if i'm I mean, all you did was cook
the food and put it in a box.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I'm paying for it. No, I'm not tipping you. I'm
not well.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Tipping culture has gotten out of handle it.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
No, it's completely now, not a little bit.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
No, tipping culture is completely out of hand. It's out
of control.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
I want to help them because you know, they don't
make even minimum wage, and so when that's not my
likelihood depends on tipping, I come in and give them
a five dollars tip on one hundred dollars bill. I
feel like a horrible human being.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
But I see, now that's another thing.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Though.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
You also didn't order like to to go boxes. You
ordered one hundred dollars worth of food. So I mean
that might be where I would make the exception if
I'm ordering a large amount of food one hundred dollars
and I going to get Yeah, I made tip there.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
It wasn't even it wasn't that many boxes.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
It was just a couple.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
But I mean that's the that's where I'm trying to
figure out. I mean, like you said, and we're going
to get some servers texting in and saying, you know,
I've just lost all respects for you, billy, and I
understand that.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Look it's again, you just said the word server. If
I'm coming in to get it, you're not serving me.
I'm coming in to get the food. Now, if you're
bringing it to me, that's where it's different. I think
that's where you get the tip, when you're coming over
to the table and you're filling up, you know, refilling
the waiting. Yeah, exactly, that's that's what you get a
tip for. Too many people think they deserve a tip
(31:45):
just because.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
They're at work.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Okay, so I make a subway sandwich with somebody, No,
they come around.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
If I go to a subway at subway tip. No,
we made that. Literally, it wasn't just you, exactly. I
told you what to do here, put a little cheese.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Okay, concession stand. I'm at rapperina, Absolutely no. Woman just
turned around and got a pretzel and a cheese for me. No,
I'm paying seven dollars. But they also want me to
add a twenty percent gratuity.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
No, and that's the other thing too. Now it starts
at twenty you know.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Oh, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
It used to start at like ten fifteen twenty or
fifteen eighteen twenty. Now it's like twenty twenty five sixty. No,
I'm not tipping you like that. That's ridiculous not doing it.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
There are time and places to tip and tip well,
but not everything.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Needs deserve as a tip. I don't think totally agree
with you. Let's go to Terry. What's up? Terry?
Speaker 5 (32:40):
Hey, Shannon, this questions for you. I'm going to make
you mark Pope at this moment. Can you tell me?
Can you give me an evaluation on the first year
of Billy the GM. Are you going to bring me
back under any kount of Are you going to put
him on the portal?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (32:58):
I just wonder you're a bad evaluation on Billy the GM.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Great question, Terry, Thanks for the call. First of all,
I hit the portal.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Well, I'm not gonna suggest I'm not going to Cassidy
row you. I'm not gonna say get out of here.
I'm gonna be looking into the transfer portal. I think
there's maybe some up and coming talent who can maybe
manage this whole thing a little bit better. But I'm
going to look back at some of the blunders that
you may have had, some of the things that have
fallen through the cracks over the time, you know, over
(33:27):
the last year or so. I think I remember, Uh,
let's see what was it exactly.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Didn't you screw something up? I think a couple of
tonight you screwed up?
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Did you forget come readily to mind? Do you forget
to bring something like I've kept to remote a float
for like over a year.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
I think the boat was still floating before you came along.
I don't think there. I don't think there's there's not
any water in the boat when I came along.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Here's the one the good thing you do, like you
like when we have to record stuff with Matt, Here's
the thing that you do that makes it a lot
easier for me. Right, So a little inside baseball behind
the curtains, Like every week Matt has certain spots that
he wants to record, and it's like, you know, pulling
teeth or try to get him record spots like, oh
(34:11):
my gosh, imagine you know, not wanting to record spots.
But Billy does a good job of putting all that
stuff together, emailing it to Matt and I and then
when the show's over.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
We can just go before. I had to like try.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
To sort through all that stuff while I'm producing the show,
while I'm trying to be, you know, an active contributor
to the show, and it was an absolute nightmare. So
I will say that you have done a really good
job in taking some of the load off of me
being the GM.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
So overall, Billy, I will say, I will give you
give me a grade. I'll give you an a minus.
I'll give you an a minus.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Just because I can't find it in my soul to
give you a soliday, I'll give you an a minus.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I didn't have a run where I made the Sweet
sixteen or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Bump it up to a solid.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Ay now for you, I'm just saying, like there's a
lot of GMS out there. I wouldn't put you in
the top sixteen. I'm more of a round to thirty
two guys.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
I'm not in my top twenty. Can I make the
top twenty?
Speaker 1 (35:03):
No, I just said thirty two. You're thirty two. Don't
you don't get me in the top twenty. You won
one game.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I mean you're you're basically on par with Kentucky basketball
before last year.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Yeah, I beat Troy, but I lost to Illinois. That's right,
you're saying exactly what Billy did exactly, but overall, but
overall you're you're pretty solid. I'll give you an eight minus. Well,
thank you, buddy. I appreciate that. And I'll have to
send out an updated remote schedule here later.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
See. There you go, my rating up to a.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
That's another thing because sometimes we don't know where we're
going until Billy sends out the remote schedule, which we
haven't done a remote in a while.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
It's been a while.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Yeah, so yeah, looking forward to when we start those
up again.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Yep, eight five, nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven.
We'll take more of your phone calls coming up next,
and I'm going to take a bite out of this
twinkie in our final segment, yes, and see if I
can't make it through to the end, we'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
It is the KSR Apprecial.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Final segment of the KSR appre Show. We'll get back
to the phones in just a minute, but first, let
me tell you that addiction has hit Kentucky harder than anywhere.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
But there is hope. I am hope.
Speaker 2 (36:11):

If you would check that out. A good read by
a Kentucky native, I Am Hope. Hey, Pop nine two
eight Oho twenty two eighty seven. Let's go back to
the phones and talk to Sam. Good morning Sam, what's
up Sam?
Speaker 5 (36:47):
Hey, guys, how's it going all right?
Speaker 7 (36:49):
So there's quite a few artificial ingredients in twinkies. One
of them is Cellulo's gum. You can actually find that
in rocket fuel. Wanted to get you your allsie idea
on that have a good.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Weekend rocket fuel. So I'm about to consume rocket fuel
live on the air.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
That's what it sounds like.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
You get a little sugar rush, a little rocket fuel,
I mean, so you're gonna have the energy to drive
down to the beach today.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
All right, before I eat this twinkie, we're we're talking
about uh nasty things to eat. I gotta get your
opinion on this twinkies expired. Do you know who the
Hartford yard Goats are?
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I have I've heard this before? Is that a minor league?
Speaker 1 (37:27):
B it is? It's a double A double A team.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
They've got what I think might be the nastiest thing
you can buy or not.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Well, you can buy it. You can buy it and
neaed it.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
I don't think they're gonna give They should give them away.
You had a concession stand and it's called the yard
Goat Dog Yard Goat hot Dog.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
So it's a hot dog, all beef hot.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Dog on board already, so you're gonna have to They
throw some terrible top.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
They throw on some caramel, caramelized onions. Okay, okay, little
brown mustard, all the toppings that you would have in
a bee.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Sounds really good, right, I'm on board. Here's the kicker.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
They then dip it in goat milk and serve it
to you a hot dog dipped in goat milk for
the yard Goats.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
And I'm out just as quick as I was on.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
You're a milk drinker. Though you like milk, you're a
psychle path, remember you don't like Yeah, but why.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Am I dipping my hot dog in goat milk?
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Because the yard goats.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
I've never had goat milk, so I'm just gonna assume
it's worse than cow milk. But I don't want milk
anywhere near my ballpark. Dog can seem like a good mix.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
