Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome everyone.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It is the KSR Pre Show, Monday, April fourteenth, Shannon
to the Dude, and I'm back being joined by Billy Rutledge.
He's over in Lexington and you can give us a
call on the Clark's Puppets Shop phone line eight five
nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven be our
a whiskey thief call of the day. You can also
always send us a text as well at five two
(00:22):
two six five six sixty five six. The KSR Pre
Show is being brought to you by Italics Fine Italian
Dining in Lexington. Billy, good to be back here with you.
Thanks for holding the fort down last week. It sounded
like everything went well big thanks to everybody who filled in.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
And good to be back here with you this morning
on a Monday.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, welcome back, Shannon. The dude looks like you got
a little color a little bit, man. I loved call that.
I wouldn't call that a sunburn. I would say that
you did a good job, Shannon. I'd mind the sunscreen
laying out, Brian getting pooped on. I mean, I'm sure
you got plenty of stories, but did you have a
relaxing week?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I did It's amazing how fast a week goes when
you're on vacation, you know, like a normal walk week.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
It's sometimes feels like it's two weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Then you go away for you know, a week long vacation,
you come back, and all of a sudden, it feels
like it was to you know, two or three days,
and then here we are.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
But it was a lot of fun, I'll tell you, man.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Ryan has a crazy ability to be able to lie
on the beach for six seven hours at a time
and somehow never get sunburned.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I don't know how that happens.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Like me, I'm out there for thirty minutes and I
can fill my skin burning. Ryan just sits out there
all day, no umbrella, little to no like sunscreen or
anything really really, and I'm like, how can you sit
out here for five or six hours with no shade
and the sun just beaming down, you know, like it's
(01:42):
it feels like it's always hotter in Florida, right, like
the sun is sure. I think I think that's scientifically true.
The sun is actually closer to the Earth in Florida.
That's why you can burn quicker. Well, yeah, yeah, it's
closer to the equator. That's right, we check out. Yeah,
there we go. See if not, I just made up
a fact that they're optional here, so that would be
completely fine. Yeah, but but me, I can't do it.
(02:02):
But yeah, we were out there and of course the
one Ryan Lemon thing. It was like, you know, we're
sitting there, the one thing, the one Ryan Lemon, the
most right limit thing, the one Ryan Lemon thing that
happened while we were gone. He's sitting there with us,
We're all lined up watching the beach, looking at all
the beautiful views in front of us, and a seagull
(02:23):
just comes by and just poops on Ryan. I'm like,
if that's not the most Ryan Lemon thing I've ever seen?
Like his luck, but weren't for bad luck you to
have no luck at all? And uh, we all just
got a good laugh at Ryan just getting pooped on
by random seagulls flying by.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
But that's that lemon luck man.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
That that was one of the highlights that we caught
while we were following along, whether it be his drunk
tweets from the bar the other day, which I did
not approve of, by the way, Oh you didn't know
we were.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Sitting there watching the national championship game, which, by the way,
we got a lot to catch up on because the
last time I was on here with you, we were
at the final. We were, you know, to the final
four on the bracket. We didn't even have a national champion. Yeah,
he's sitting there, just live tweeting set a bar. You know,
you're on vacation, you're maybe enjoying a margarita or two
or three, and Ryan goes, you better check your Twitter account.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I go, why what are you doing? And I look
over and he's live.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Tweeting the conversation, which, come on, man, that's that's completely foul.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
You can't be doing that, and it'd have been a
lot worse. Right, It felt like.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
My privacy was breached, you know, like he's recording the conversation,
but he's typing it out instead. I don't know if
that's worse than the you know, recording a conversation through
audio or typing it out and having to read it.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
But yeah, we had a good time, there's no doubt.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Not quite to the level of taking a picture of
you on a bachelor party and sending it back to
your significant other.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
But you know what, just be careful, Ryan I mean,
be careful.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
You say some of those things in confidence and then
you ended up tweeting it out. I think that's just
more further evidence that Ryan is the one member of
KSR that's already been abducted by aliens and they've already
given him back. So great to see you back, Shinnon.
It will be good to see Ryan back. But you
know what, I think Drew held it down. I'm gonna
be honest with you. I Drew Paluza was a big success.
(04:04):
We even got the mayor of Lexington in studio with
us Friday and Shannon. I was a little disappointed she
didn't say her favorite restaurant. You know, it's we're celebrating
two hundred and fifty years in Lexington.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Hey, these are.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Some of the best places to go. What's your favorite restaurant.
She's like me, I love them all.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, yeah, that's a very political answer, but it's yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
It's like, so if the mayor.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Endorses a specific restaurant, then it's you know, like she's
not getting paid for that. She's holding out for nil money.
I think that's what she's smart. You know, she doesn't
have to say, like which one's her favorite because then
everybody's gonna say, oh, this is Lexington's mayor's favorite place
to come eat.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, it's everybody that she doesn't mention at that point, right,
So it's it's kind of like your mom and dad
saying they don't have a favorite child, but you know,
damn well they have one.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Right right.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, it sounds like, you know, you guys held it
down so well that maybe Ryan and I.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Can just go back to Florida for another week. I mean,
what do you he does for?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
You know, tell the I mean, you know, we're just
doing our part. We're doing our part. But it's good
to have you back. And you're right, you missed a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, yeah, Where do you want to start?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Do you want to start with all the transfer portal,
the commitment, the recruits, the decommitments, or do you want
to start with your boy Rory yesterday and the Hobler
coaster of a.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Ride that he had winning. Where do you want to start?
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Well?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I mean, can I just say a small part about
the golf, because you know, there's a saying that it's
hard not to be romantic about baseball, but I can't
help but feel that way about not just golf. But
sports man, But how great was of a sports moment
was that yesterday? I mean, Rory has gone eleven years
since winning his last major, and the Masters was the
(05:43):
final one to notch off on the career Grand Slam.
Only five other golfers had done this, and only two
in the last sixty years, Shannon, if you include Rory.
So this was a huge achievement in the sport of golf.
And you can tell the toll it had taken on
him when he dropped to his knees on the eighteenth
grade for the playoff hole and started to tear up
and celebrate.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It was just a magical moment.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
And I know you're not a golf guy, Shannon, but
that was that was one of the greatest Masters of
all time.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I think you will remember that final round for a
long long time.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I even found myself watching some of it there at
the end. But a couple of really bad shots and
then that one amazing shot where he just hooked it
out within just a few feet of the green that
brought him back into the mix.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Oh, all the hook around the trees on the par five.
I was like, Man, I wish, a beautiful wish I
could play golf like that. Every time I tried to
hit that shot, it just hits a branch and comes
right back at my face.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It would not work out the same.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
By the way, all those patrons that line the fairways,
a few would have gotten hit if I was playing
in the Masters. I'm sure you're the same way. But
did you catch any of it? It sounds like you did.
I mean at the end you flipt it on.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah. And then Scotty Shuffler was there and he put
the green jacket on him. What a moment.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
The little uh, the ceremony and Butler Cabin where Rory's like,
I can't wait to go back and celebrate with my family.
And I mean, he's the first golfer to win the
Masters from Northern Ireland and then that is a huge
deal over there. He will be celebrated as a as
a sports god for the rest of his life. So
I'm happy for him. But I mean he made it difficult.
I mean, he how about how many times did he
almost collapse? And it was it was it was good theater,
(07:13):
it was.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Good drama and happy that it was a good tournament.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
When they were doing the little ceremony there with a
green Jacket does Jim Nance.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
He always does. He always have to talk like this,
like you know, like it's a Jim Nance. This is
you know, he's gotten so used to it, Shanna. Yeah.
I just feel like that that's just how he talks.
It's not even public radio Jim Nance, like, oh.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You don't have to talk like that now, like it's over.
He's not about to put for Birdie like you could
talk loud. It's okay anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
It's about the ambiance.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
And I guess the tone of it all, I don't know,
but you know, just only ten more masters left with
Jim Nance after he announced his retirement eleven years.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Right now, right right, yep. And I've announced my retirement
for twenty fifty six.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
So is that right, Mill That's a long time. You
got a lot more Jerry Eves and Leach reports to.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Do, but I cannot wait.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Quick note before we get into the Kentucky stuff, there
is I guess some issue with the iHeartRadio app on
the seven ninety the Nose Whistle seven ninety.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah, it sounds like Dan Patrick's trying to butt in.
What are you doing, Dan Patrick? Nobody wants to listen
to you listening to the ksrpre show. So yeah, let's
talk about Pope.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I mean, he was busy while I was gone, Right,
got a lot of stuff to talk about. Some you've
already covered, but stuff that I haven't had the chance
to talk about. Brandon Garrison. Let's start there. He's back, right,
We got that announcement. Eg, yeah, yeah, guy, that was
You know, if we're going to say if there was
one guy that maybe would be the enforcer on this
team last year, good to have Brandon Garrison back on
(08:37):
the team.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Then.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Jaden Quainton's a guy who you might remember committed to
Kentucky last year, then he de committed, ended up playing
at Arizona State for a year. He's now committed again
to Kentucky after is transferring back to Kentucky recovering from
a torn acl Also a guy who's projected to be
in the top ten of the NBA Draft. So out
of all these guys, that might be the one that
(09:01):
I'm excited about the most. Just to see what we
got in a guy that already committed here once, does
it make you leary at all? That? I mean, I
think the situation was different. He committed to Caliperry Calip
Perry leaves. I think if it weren't for that, he
would have been here this season. But now he's back,
and that's the guy that I'm excited to see.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Well, he's definitely got a love of Kentucky, and I
think that's why this marriage eventually ended up happening.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You know, Mark Pope is was.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Looking for a big recruiting win and jad and quaintenance
is that exactly one of the best players in the portal.
He's coming off of torn acl so not sure if
he'll be ready for the beginning of the year, but
that is a huge piece. And in Kentucky now I
think has one of the best front courts in all
the college basque.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
They have a whole new roster.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Since you've been gone, Shan, you know, you kind of
left at the exact wrong time. I mean, Jalen Low,
the point guard from Pittsburgh is somebody that you haven't
mentioned yet. Mo dia Bote from Alabama. It's a guy
that gave us a lot of issues. I mean Jelavic,
I think.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Is how we say his name. We can't.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I can't wait to talk about that guy. I don't
think it's Jelavic, But we'll go with that for now. Jello,
whatever I mean, you'll have to help me with the pronunciation.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Tom Leach say it earlier today and it wasn't. Well,
that's probably what it is, he says Jelovic. I don't
know what does call him Jelly for now, but man,
I can say it's a whole new roster and this
is just I guess, life in the transfer portal in
college basketball nowadays.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
But no doubt b G and JQ returning is it
does wonders for the five spot for Kentucky and hopefully
some of that continuity with Brandon Garrison pays off later.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You know, we did get a d commitment from a
Kayit and Lewis, and I think that's probably a direct
result because of Jalen Lowe coming in a guy who's
also a point guard, who has two years of two
years of eligibility. But I mean, who's to say that
a kay and Lewis couldn't have won that starting job
or couldn't have fought to win more minutes? What do
you what's your take on a Kayit and Lewis just
leaving going you know what, you got another point guard
(10:49):
you're bringing in. He's got two years of eligibility. I'm
out of here without without even considering, you know, staying
on the team and trying to fight for your your
your minutes and your job on the team.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I think it's I think it's disappointed from the outside
looking in. I mean, that's a guy whose family really
understood the power of BBN and the stage that they
can offer to their son. And he had a quote
after he signed where he said, I can't wait to
come in and start at point guard.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
This team needs me. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
You know, I think this is just more of how
things are going Shannon kind of alluding to the transfer
portal and just having to build a whole new roster
in a two week time period. It's just, you know,
if there's not going to be a path towards playing time,
then kids are gonna leave. But I think the appeal
of Mark Pope's system and culture is that you can
fight for playing time. It doesn't matter if you're Otega
Away or if you're Jalen Lowe. You're gonna have a
(11:37):
shot if you're one of the best players out there.
I think he proved that last year, so it's disappointing,
but in the grand scheme of things, it always felt
like Pope was just going to go back out there
and get somebody to replace him.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Right, yeah, yeah, So I'm want to talk just a
second about this uh Croatian player.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Oh, yes, you give me the name, I'm.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Gonna take a stab at it, Andreja Javelik. Is that
any better?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Well, you shamed me for Jelovic? But what did you
say that Jelovic Jelovic? You just said Jelovic. I think
you put a little Jelovic on it. Oh, it's more
like Gel than it is Gel.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Anyway, he's six foot eleven, god, that can shoot the three.
I watched a little bit of his highlights on the
road trip back yesterday just to see, like, what are
we getting in these guys, because you know, you read,
you know, the websites and the you know, the reports
of all the people who you know get paid to
do this stuff. You can take their word for it,
or you can go and you know, try to find
some stuff on YouTube and just watching the guy.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
He looks impressive. Six you find his mixtape, what do
you think?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Well, I mean that's the other thing too, Like a
mixtape though, can also make you or I look like
we can play basketball, you know, and make me look
good playing well.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
We could be we.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Could use some AI who could edit it up. Maybe
you give you a haircut, maybe.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Mari, well, hold on, hold on, haircut?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Where did that come from? I'm like Ricky Rubio over
here with my bangs. I mean, you are really committed
to that haircut. Like I thought that was going to
be a phase.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I thought maybe one day, you know, one or two
days you would come in with the little swoop, little
combver you got going back. I thought, then, you know,
three days later you'd have it slicked back again. But
you're all in on this, I like working on and
we got.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Moose in it today. So we're trying new things.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
But speaking of a kind of a different look, what
do you think about those those pink jerseys, those pink jerseys.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
That were aware oh the Croatian guy was playing in.
I mean, those are sweet, those are sweet? You know.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
The the international European prospects man is a market that
I'd always love to tap into. I mean, Big Z
was just such an interesting prospect and he looks so
good at times that you'd think, you know, there's got
to be some other guys out there that Kentucky could
take advantage of. And you know, Mark Pope, HiT's a
big one here. It felt like the Robert Morris guy
(13:46):
that was in Spain was going to be the stretch
for that you kind of needed. But it seems like
this Croatian man who can shoot the deep ball as well,
could be the missing piece. I don't know, shann you
tell me. Six foot eleven, twenty one year old freshman.
I feel like I'm in on this, know, like this
is getting me excited for the roster.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Do you think we got another big z hear what
he's doing. He may be better? Yeah, a little better,
let's hope.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
So. I mean, hopefully it doesn't take two thirds of
the season to get him eligible.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
But hopefully that's the other thing UK admissions message to you,
and please get this guy. Elli's go ahead and send
him American food now so we can get that out
of the way. Oh good, get his stomach ag.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah, send him some KFC, maybe some chas bar and grill.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
You know, hop but he's not chain smoking after practice.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And then you know, Pope may not be finished just
yet because he had a recruit come in over the weekend.
Who is at Keenland and that's Lamar Wilkerson from sam Houston,
who many people consider the best shooter in Conference USA. So, uh,
you know, I heard Leech talking about Pope taking Lamar
Wilkerson into the Winter Circle down in Keenland.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
It's probably not something that happens on every visit.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
No, No, I think that would work on me if
we have. I was on a recruiting trip. I don't
spend a lot of time a horse country and you
take me to Keenland and then you take me to
the Winter Circle like that.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I mean, I don't know if Pope had something to
do with that horse or he was just like, hey,
he's just kind of recruit with me. Yeah, we're just
going to join the winter Circles, just.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
A flex where we're like, you know, when you play
for Kentucky Basketball, you just walking in the Winter Circle
if you want to.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I thought it was pretty cool, uh, And this is
a guy that can really shoot it from Sam Houston.
State could be the final piece for Mark Pope and
this roster. They definitely need one more shooter and one
more guard. So I don't know, I don't know. Didn't
they do that with somebody else. It wasn't like a
Mari Williams or something like that that he took to Keenland,
because I feel like Pope had done this before.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
So, uh, you know, when.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Cody Figers posts that boom tweet, everybody gets a little lantsy,
especially if.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
He's a little late on the booms. I mean, I
think it was a little late on the first couple
many booms coming in. He couldn't keep up with them.
But yeah, Pope getting it done in the transfer portal
when I don't know, I guessaid. I don't think he's
finished just yet. So we'll talk more about that and
try to catch up on some other things from the
week where I missed and was partying with Ryan Lemon
down in PCB, partying like of a spring break down there,
(16:06):
I guess it was.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Technically it was it was our spring break too though.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
There was a picture of you guys like wadding into
the water together there like a locking real romance. Yes,
like you you might as well have been holding hands,
you mean, waiting in the water, waiting, wadding waiting wattle
like a penguin into the water waddling maybe yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I see the paparazzi was out.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I didn't improve those pictures to get tweeted out, but
you know they were. We'll take your phone calls eight

Drew was.

doing really well.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
And he looks to me and he goes, hey, uh,
just pick a random winner here on this UFC fight
that's coming up. And I didn't know either of the
women that were fighting. It was female MMA, which I'm
just not a fan of, And I look up and
there's I forget her name at this point, but I
think it was Molly Molly something.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Anyway, put it on Molly. Put five on Molly to
win this fight.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Not only did Molly lose in the first round, Billy,

so bad we retired at UFC fighter right there in Milwaukee.

I'm getting a lot of texts that are saying, I
want to correct Shannon, the dude, he's wrong.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
It's Yellovich. So well, I think you need to open
your ears. That's what I said the first time.

Yellowvich, well, not jell Maybe I did it wrong initially,
but anyway, I'll.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Tell you what was more exciting for me.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Uh as far as all the news that came out
while I was gone, it's the Bellerman. My Bellerman Knights
got a date with Lucky coming up.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
That is awesome.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Now did they schedule that a couple of years ago
or I don't think they. Did they ever play that
Kentucky Bellerman game.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Or is it an exhibition game? I can't remember if
that happened or not. I don't think that. I can't
remember it. But off the top of my end.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
What we're talking about here as a regular season game though, right,
I believe so?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah, I think it's December is when it got scheduled.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Four. It will not be Scotty unfortunately, but it'll be
his son coming in.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Doug. I mean, you're gonna have to go to that one, right, dude,
I mean I need to.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah, I mean, as a Bellerman alumni alumnus, I am
looking forward to that. And you know, I think that's
something that we kind of expected when Pope took over
as head coach here, that he was going to schedule
a lot more Kentucky schools for these non conference games.
And I would rather wouldn't you rather play a Bellerman
or you know, Eastern Kentucky Western Kentucky than some out
(19:54):
of state school that really has no tie ins.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Too the status.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Oh come on, come on, you know my answer here
you're preaching in the choir. I mean, they glad that
they got to play Western last year. That's when we
figured out that maybe physically this team wasn't up for
the tasks. And they've learned a lot from since then,
but happy they did Western last year. Now Bellerman, I
guess next year will go to EKU or something like that. Right, well,
they'll have to come to Roup. I mean, please excuse me.
(20:17):
They're not going to go a road game anywhere.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
What you mean Kentucky is not going to come to
Knights Tall. Oh No, they're not. What do you benefit
them enough? You're scared of what I'm told?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
But anyway, I think that's really cool that the Bellerman's
on the schedule for next year eight five nine two
eight h twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Let's take a call. Let's go to David. Let's up David.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Hey, good morning guys. Glad to have you all back. Well,
one thing, I just I'm still baffled that they don't
have a decision yet on the scholarship quantity, Like, how
can you try to fill a roster if you don't
know if you're going to have thirteen or fifteen? I mean,
it's and then also I think there's something about the
(20:58):
maximum amount of money schools can spend. I don't know
how anybody can promise INIL money if they don't know
what the ruling.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Is going to be.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
The whole nil thing is just it's out of control.
It has been since day one. They've got to put
guardrails on this thing somehow. Right now, I would not
want to be a college coach because you are you're
making promises that you can't necessarily know that you're going
to be able to deliver on. And thanks for the
call day, but we appreciate it. But I would want
to be a player in college spas. I mean, come on,
(21:29):
talk about making the most of your opportunity.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Now.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
We could talk about the Tennessee quarterback Nico holding out
because he wanted a couple extra million dollars, and Tennessee
called his bluff. They just said, hey, we'll just move
on without you. He cannot transfer within the SEC. He'll
have to find maybe a Big ten or a Big
twelve school. But you know, we're waiting for this settlement
to come out any day now to give some guardrails
for nil. But until then, we're going to just keep
(21:54):
treating it like the Hatfields and the McCoys.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
There's no doubt the players are the big winners here.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
The crazy thing is, though, that these weren't, like the NCAA,
completely got caught with their pants down. They were not
ready for any of this stuff. They should have been
way ahead of the situation. Like those guardrails should have
already existed when NIL was rolled out.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Now they were too busy trying to keep amateurs contact
and it's way too late at this point, and it
is what it is, and you can't I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Can I get mad at a player for negotiating for
more money? I mean, can you get bad at your
coworker for negotiating for more money? It's kind of the
same situation at this point. We'll take your phone calls.
Coming up next eight five to nine to two, eighth
twenty two eighty seven. It's the KSR pre Show. Welcome back.
It is the KSR Pre Show. Eight five to nine,
two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. We got some
open lines if you want to give us a shout.
(22:40):
Let's catch up on a couple of other things that
happened while I was gone Billy. First of all, right,
last time I was, like I said earlier, first or
last time I was here, we didn't even have a
national champion. So quickly, just to recap the final four,
how about that epic meltdown that collapsed the doukead Houston
comes back. I couldn't believe what I was watching. I
(23:02):
was like, there's no way that Duke is gonna blow
this kind of lead. Well, they have like seven with
what thirty forty seconds something like that in the game,
and just a complete meltdown.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
You hate to see it happen to Duke.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Oh, you just hate to see it, you really do.
But a big thank you to Houston that beat Tennessee
and Duke in back to back weeks. Uh did not
get it done in the championship game, but you could
say as a Kentucky fan, that was the greatest gift
of all was Houston doing that. But how about Florida
man and the comeback they had to put out Houston
to come back and win that game. I mean, Walter
(23:34):
Clayton Junior couldn't hit the broad side of a barn,
you would say, in the first half, and then he
started heating up after he hit a three that about
eight minutes left, and and Todd Golden gets it done
in his third year at Florida. Shannon goes to show you,
I mean just only need a couple of years with
this transfer portal. If you're a good coach, you can
make an impact and you can lead your team to
a final four.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Portal has changed the game.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
You could come in immediately, you know, take a team
from being the worst in the conference to one of
the bell winning a national championship.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
It can flip that quickly.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
There really isn't I don't think such thing as a
rebuilding year anymore. It happens just you know, from year
to year. There's you know, you don't have to take
over a program and have to take two, three four
years to build up the program.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
You can do it immediately.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Well, for all to talk about the chalk and the
one seeds making the final four, he was a great
final four him and made up for maybe the lack
of upsets in the first couple round.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I wanted to get your take on Hakeem Olajawan. Did
you see this what happened with him? I don't even
know what this is, but we go, you know, after
Houston beats Duke Keem, Olajuwan's at the game, but the
security guards would not allow him to go onto the
floor to celebrate with Houston. And you know, I was
just kind of divided on like, okay, well should he
(24:44):
be allowed to go out onto the floor if he
doesn't have the right credential.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
But then again, he's at Chemo Lajawan.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
But then if your security you're going, well, maybe these
security guards don't even know who that is.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
They're just seeing a big, tall guy.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Obviously he played basketball somewhere, but they may not even
know who a Keem Olajawan was. But they didn't let
him go on to the floor, fair or foul security
letting go on to the floor with Houston after they
just won in the final four to go to the
national title.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
All Right, I'm gonna try to look at this as
both sides, because how do you not know one who
a chem Elijah one is? And with Houston being in
the final four, you gotta think this guy is a
part of it. You know, he's got doesn't care what
credential he has. I mean, he's a Hall of Famer.
You let the guy celebrate with the guys. But then
you know, a young Billy r Sports has got his
first security job, right, Hm, he's doing it by the handbook.
(25:35):
He doesn't know the history of the NBA or the
Houston has played in what twenty two to twenty things exactly.
I mean, please, I don't have time to care about that.
I'm too worried about my TikTok. But you don't have
the right credential. I'm not letting you in the court.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I'm kind of'm with you, man, Like I saw people
like in the comments section just throwing a fit and
I'm going, well, yeah, I mean, I understand he's a
chem Olajauan.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I would recognize the guy.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
But if your security you're doing your job. I mean,
you either have the right credential or you don't. I say,
it's more foul on Houston for not setting them up
with the credentials to access to be able to get
onto the floor like that. That's not on security. That's
on Houston for not taking care of one of your
former players.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
It is but perceptions reality. And you're the guy that's
trying to stop a chem Elijah one from getting on
the court. Right, you go viral for being five to
eleven trying to stop seven foot a Keem for getting
on the court to celebrate with Houston.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yeah, you're five to eleven and you blocked a chem olajuwon.
That would be a moment you could have for the
rest of your life.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Make sure. So I'm torn. I'm torn on this one.
But a rule is not a rule without a punishment.
That's true.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Matt has taught us that, So I guess I'm gonna
try to stop a chem from trying to get on
the court.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Another thing that happened while I was gone, OVW got sold.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Did you see this news?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I think I saw a headline. But tell me, what's
what's going on? Are you guys gonna start going to Europe?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Maybe more or maybe?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
So? I mean that opens up the pipeline I guess
for wrestlers to come over to OVW, and I guess
some of our guys to go there if they wanted
to in theory, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I mean it was an overseas buyer, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Was a europe Yeah, okay, Yeah, So Matt's no longer
the majority owner, but he's still going to be a
part of it. For those of you who are wondering,
like will he's still be part owner of OVW. He
will still be there some But they just sold and
probably made a good chunk of change doing that. So
congrats to OVW for now having some European ties.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Season two wrestlers Barcelona.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Yeah, here we go, Like they already missed out on
an opportunity to be there. For the whole sale when
it happened.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah. Probably. And then the other thing I got to
get your take on while I was gone, I got
to invite it to a dog birthday party? What a
dog birthday party? Okay?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
And I got to get your thoughts on this, because
I'm going, like, wait a minute, you're inviting people to
your house to party for your dog's birthday.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Like, I know, I know what you thought about this situation.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Yeah, and I know I'm about to make some people
mad with this comment, probably just as much as the
Gulf of America tweet that went out last week as well,
But till.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
You knew that had to come. Yeah, you're poking the bear.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yeah yeah, yeah, But I want to get your take
on this. You're invited at bill A to a dog
birthday party? Are you going? Or are you not going?
Because I didn't know that this was a thing where
people have dog birthday parties. The dog doesn't know it's
having a party for its birthday.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
No, that's your angle is the dog doesn't know it's
having a birthday. Dog sees that.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Okay, there's other dogs over here, and there's people. But
I've got I don't want to go to your dog's
birthday party.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Well, I feel like I'm inclined to take my dog
if I'm invited to the dog birthday party, right, I mean,
they probably want more dogs there, and my dog is
not a dog person or dog dog, so don't know
if we're going to be making the trip.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I kind of like having the one dog at the
party instead of like ten or twenty. But Shannon, it
seems like you're not on board with people inviting other
people just for birthday parties for their dog. No, I'm not.
I get this text. It's a group text with my
buddy and all of his friends, and he goes, hey,
we're having a dog birthday party. Do you want to come?
And I just left it like.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Is it a dog party or is it like a
party to celebrate my dog's you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Party to celebrate the dog's birthday. See. I don't like that. Like,
I guess they're gonna get him a birthday cake.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
I'd rather have the dog party hat that'd be a
more acceptable social situation. But you're telling me he's inviting
people over for his dog's birthday. Now, this is going
to upset people, Shannon, because there's many that treat their
pets like their baby.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Oh, I get it.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Like, you know, if you want to give, like your
dog makes some extra treats for its birthday, that's.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Fine, but don't drag me into your dog's birthday party.
So I left. I left the group text.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Unanswered, no response, and then I got hit with the
Facebook message. So I'm like, all right, well, now he's
like and I was luckily saying, Hey, I'm out of town.
I would love to come celebrate your dog's birthday with you.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
But no, I'm I'm out of town. I can't go now,
I kid you not.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Another person in the group text said I would like
to come, but I'm actually already scheduled for another dog
birthday party.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
So my question is.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
How many dog birthday parties are going on? Is this
a thing that I was not aware of? Like, you
already know how I feel about your gender revial party.
Now I guess people are like, this is a trend
where people are having birthday parties for their dog, and
I guess it's just the reason to drink people.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Well, look, I'm not going to the dog birthday party,
but Shannon, I'm not gonna pooh pooh on it.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Like you are you?
Speaker 3 (30:31):
No gender reveals, no dog birthday parties, like nobody can
have fun?
Speaker 1 (30:35):
No, we can.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
We can have plenty of fun. I just don't want
to be a part of a dog birthday party. I
think it's ridiculous. But I look online to see, like, Okay,
is this something that other people are doing or is
my friend just really weird.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
It's a trend. It's a thing that people are doing.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
So you know, I guess I can't blame him because
everybody else seems to do it.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Well. Gracie turns ten in March, so I'll give you
the call. No, don't invite me over for Gracie's birthday party.
I'll come have a beer with you. But we're not
doing dog birthday parties. Not here, not happening.

It is the KSR Apprecio, final segment of the ksrppre Shio.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Oh, Ryan Lemon is back, Drew myself, Billy, are you
gonna jump on with us on KSR coming up next hour?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Or what are you doing? You? Not today? Not today?
But I did think that Ryan might be one of
those people that throws a dog birthday party, wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Sho Oh, I can one hundred percent see that, And
I got something I want to.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Bring up with you. And about Drew in just a minute.
But before we get to that, let.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Me tell you the segment of sponsor by the book
I Am Hope. Our friend Steven Hope, who's from Henderson County, Kentucky,
is the author of this book, I Am Hope. Growing
Up with an Attic is a powerful true story from
Stephen Hope, and the book is a real resource to
help break the cycle of addiction. We all know how
hard addiction has hit the Bluegrass State. You can find
(32:44):
it on Apple and on Amazon. Audiobook even comes with
exclusive bonus material. Check out I Am Hope. It's a
Kentucky story with the purpose. And you know I've talked
about this the last couple of weeks. If you're somebody
who's dealing with a similar situation, his goal by sharing
his experience of writing this book was to help prepare
others who are in similar situations and kind of show
(33:06):
them what to expect moving forward, how he felt in
certain moments and what it enabled him to keep going.
And he wanted to let people know that you are
not alone if you're dealing with someone who is battling
substance abuse. It's I Am Hope, and check that out
on Apple and on Amazon. All right, so you were
telling me during the break Billy that that Drew isn't
a play, yes, yeah, serious?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Or no, yeah, he grew end up in a play.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
So I was I was telling you, You've got to
bring this up on KSR this week because Drew revealed
to us that he will be in the play Romeo
and Juliet taking place in Lexington in the next couple weeks,
and he will be Count Paris, one of the suitors
of Juliet. What's Count Paris? Is that like a Dracula,
it's like a guy. His name's Count Paris. And I
guess he's trying to get with Juliette before Romeo could.
(33:54):
And he has yet to look at his lines yet.
So I mean we're I mean, I'm trying to shake
him look at your lines.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
But he will be in a play. There you go.
I have so many questions, Well those are questions for Drew.
I would say, well, I guess we can hang on
to it. But I mean, I got to even get
tied into being into a play.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
I guess he signed up to be in a play.
Is punishment that he's in a play?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
I don't know if he lost got last place in
his fantasy football league, Shannon, because that feels like an
appropriate punishment. But it doesn't sound like you were ever
somebody that was in a play. No, I mean I'm
in movies, but not in a play. Oh, that's right.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
You're in non speaking roles in movies, but you have
not done a play. I was in an addition of
Romeo and Juliet back in high school, Shannon, but I
was not on I guess on stage. I was the
sound guy, so very less glamorous as Count Paris. But
you know, investigate that with Drew as you return this week.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
I also saw you flaunting some bling during the break
as well. What is that?
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (34:54):
I was talking to Mario about my class ring. I
found my college class room. You're wearing it. Yeah, yeah,
I was trying to avoid telling you this because I
knew this was going to hapen.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
So this is, as you said, your college WKU class ring,
not the high school class ring.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
It's a class of twenty seventeen, and I don't know, Shannon,
this sounds a little sappy. It makes me incredibly proud
when I wear it, really, but it also makes me
feel like I have peaked in high school.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Energy well peaked in college. You got the college ring,
that's true. Yeah, it is the college ring. So maybe
I my frat days are well behind me. I peaked
in college.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I mean, like, you know, if you're a year fresh
out of college, okay, but like people who are sixty
years old still wearing their college ring.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
I don't know. Like if you want like a super
Bowl or you know, just very few people in the world.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
But if you want like some you know, championship and
you want to carry around the gold, Like let's say
you won the World heavyweight radio championship, you want to
carry that around everywhere, that's totally cool. But if you're
wearing your hilltop or class ring ten fifteen, say something
about it. I think I'm saying it right now. I'm
saying that maybe it is a little peaked in college energy.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
I can't have dog birthday parties, can't wear class rings.
The arbiter of what is acceptable. Shannon the dude, thank you.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
We were in Milwaukee and we were at that sports book.
There was some former Wisconsin basketball players who were up
there and they had like a version of their jersey
on with their name on the back. And I'm going
away these guys play their own jerseys played ten years
ago and they're still wearing around like their own jerseys.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Oh that's funny. That's embarrassing. That's funny. I like that.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Like what if I don't know Kyle Welchers just walking around,
or like Anthony Davis or like John Wallas just walking
around with their their jersey on.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
I mean, these guys played in the NBA at least.
But yeah, these are our glory days, Shannon. Please don't
take away my college days where I peaked, and I
just want to remember them. Those guys they were playing
basketball back would you say, Wisconsin? Yeah, and that was
the prime of their life. They're all having a drink together.
They all just want to feel connected.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
You know.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
So just in case their buddies forgot their last name,
they suhould put.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
It on their backs exactly. Yeah. I mean then you're
able to figure it out. Okay, a little little desperate.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Maybe if we get some KSR rings so we can
all wear those together.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
No, we're not doing that. Free bird, what's up? Free bird?
How are you? Free bird? Free bird? With arms wide open?
Where are you?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Maybe you didn't recognize the name after he changed his
name temporarily.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Hey did you see this news?
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Also while I was going, Shannon the Dude's brew or
Country Boy Brewing got third best brown ale on untapped,
which is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
It's pretty cool little award.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
So shout out to Country Boy Brewing and thanks to
everybody who's tried it and you can. You can still
get it at Country Boy Brewing and Georgetown and Louisville
right up the road from here. It's good stuff. You
should definitely give it a try. And big thanks to
everybody who voted a third best. We're going for the
gold next year though, Billy, I love the new recipe
of Shannon the Dude Berry. You should definitely check it
out if you ever find yourself at Country Boy. I
(37:53):
did speak to the Lexington mayor, Linda, and I was like,
I can't believe you have a Shannon the Dude day
here and life.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
She even get that, she even remember that. She was like, oh,
of course I love Shannon. There you go, that's my mayor.
Shannon's the best. That's right.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
See, we've got a great mayor here atible Craig Greenberg.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
And then when's Billy our sports day? Huh? Well, when
you get your butt out there, and it's gonna walk
fifty miles. That's it. No, you've got a wound day,
you gotta walk fifty one. Hell, I'll walk in the
rain too.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
I'm not gonna even wait till the seventy degrees in
the birds are chermany.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
You don't even want to walk from the parking garage
to the elevator to get to the studio every day.
I know you're not going to do that. I'm here.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Some other good news also, speaking of Lobal, Bourbon and
Beyond and Louder Than Life announced last week that they're
going to keep the festival here for the next decade.
That's that's great news for the economy and for music
lovers like myself. So I was really excited about that.
You're going to have ten more years of Billy r
Sports and Shannon the Dude hanging out at Louder Than
Life listening to Ikubus the Island festival grounds.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
I guess that's that turns out to about eighty more
days you got to spend out there at the convention
Center and doing Bourbon and Beyond. I guess if you're
doing both of them, that's going to be more than
eight right, So maybe even more than that.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
So great news. Glad to hear that. Let's go to Randall.
What's up, Randal?
Speaker 5 (39:08):
Hey, I just wanted to pass along kudos to the
Athletic Department for doing the open practice on the Commonwealth
field this year for change. I just about wasn't going
to go because it was cold and the way that
it was set up for the past few years where
it's on that practice field. They've got all the press
roped off and they've got the first ten yards and
(39:31):
then we're standing there back in the peon section and
we can't even see a play because you know, the
press is following them back and forth. But you know,
this was a nice atmosphere. We got to see everything
that was going on on the field, and which I
wish they would have promoted it more, but I think
they would have had a better turnout. But anyway, it
was a good time and we really enjoyed that, my
(39:51):
grandson and I.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yeah, thanks to the car Randall. We haven't really talked
any football today. We'll save it for later on in
the week. Just trying to catch up with everything that
was happening while I was out a but yeah, we're
already looking ahead to football and Zach Calzada's seventh year,
seventh year player, Billy like that at that point, you're
a grown man out there, Like if you didn't think
the college athletes were already grown men.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
How old is Kelazada? Twenty? I think twenty four years old?
Twenty four year old quarterbacks? You talk about some veteran.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Leadership, and you know the players have been talking really
highly about him, saying that he throws a very catchable ball.
You know, a type of quarterback that can make you
open if you're not already. And I think you know,
this guy's gonna hopefully lead the team to a big
season coming up.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Yeah, I hope.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
So I can't remember the last Kentucky football season where
the starting quarterback didn't get injured for at least one game, So,
Cutter Bowley, these guys need to be ready to go.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
But hopefully this guy is the answer.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
You know, Drew was at the spring showcase, so I'm
sure he will have some details on Casar coming up.
But we had Ty Bryant on the show last week.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
He was really good.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
We did talk some football with Adam Luckett, so it's
ways away, but Shannon, we could uh you know, be
hopeful because right now Kentucky's undefeated.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Right, that's right? Yeah, zero and zero.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Yeah, say that's why we can Yeah, exactly. So somebody
was telling me I didn't pay again, I don't watch UFC.
The UFC three fourteen was already last weekend, right, it
already happened Saturday. So DraftKings you need to give me
some updated copy. Until then, I'll just tell you to
go bet on baseball.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Don't bet on the Braves. They're terrible. Uh what have
they got? Three? Are we up to four wins? Jet
four and ten? It's awful.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
I was thinking about you because they were playing the Rays.
I think they did get at.

Thanks for holding the fort down last week. It sounded
like everything went well big thanks to everybody who filled in.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
And good to be back here with you this morning
on a Monday.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, welcome back, Shannon. The dude looks like you got
a little color a little bit, man. I loved call that.
I wouldn't call that a sunburn. I would say that
you did a good job, Shannon. I'd mind the sunscreen
laying out, Brian getting pooped on. I mean, I'm sure
you got plenty of stories, but did you have a
relaxing week?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I did It's amazing how fast a week goes when
you're on vacation, you know, like a normal walk week.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
It's sometimes feels like it's two weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Then you go away for you know, a week long vacation,
you come back, and all of a sudden, it feels
like it was to you know, two or three days,
and then here we are.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
But it was a lot of fun, I'll tell you, man.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Ryan has a crazy ability to be able to lie
on the beach for six seven hours at a time
and somehow never get sunburned.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I don't know how that happens.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Like me, I'm out there for thirty minutes and I
can fill my skin burning. Ryan just sits out there
all day, no umbrella, little to no like sunscreen or
anything really really, and I'm like, how can you sit
out here for five or six hours with no shade
and the sun just beaming down, you know, like it's
(01:42):
it feels like it's always hotter in Florida, right, like
the sun is sure. I think I think that's scientifically true.
The sun is actually closer to the Earth in Florida.
That's why you can burn quicker. Well, yeah, yeah, it's
closer to the equator. That's right, we check out. Yeah,
there we go. See if not, I just made up
a fact that they're optional here, so that would be
completely fine. Yeah, but but me, I can't do it.
(02:02):
But yeah, we were out there and of course the
one Ryan Lemon thing. It was like, you know, we're
sitting there, the one thing, the one Ryan Lemon, the
most right limit thing, the one Ryan Lemon thing that
happened while we were gone. He's sitting there with us,
We're all lined up watching the beach, looking at all
the beautiful views in front of us, and a seagull
(02:23):
just comes by and just poops on Ryan. I'm like,
if that's not the most Ryan Lemon thing I've ever seen?
Like his luck, but weren't for bad luck you to
have no luck at all? And uh, we all just
got a good laugh at Ryan just getting pooped on
by random seagulls flying by.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
But that's that lemon luck man.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
That that was one of the highlights that we caught
while we were following along, whether it be his drunk
tweets from the bar the other day, which I did
not approve of, by the way, Oh you didn't know
we were.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Sitting there watching the national championship game, which, by the way,
we got a lot to catch up on because the
last time I was on here with you, we were
at the final. We were, you know, to the final
four on the bracket. We didn't even have a national champion. Yeah,
he's sitting there, just live tweeting set a bar. You know,
you're on vacation, you're maybe enjoying a margarita or two
or three, and Ryan goes, you better check your Twitter account.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I go, why what are you doing? And I look
over and he's live.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Tweeting the conversation, which, come on, man, that's that's completely foul.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
You can't be doing that, and it'd have been a
lot worse. Right, It felt like.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
My privacy was breached, you know, like he's recording the conversation,
but he's typing it out instead. I don't know if
that's worse than the you know, recording a conversation through
audio or typing it out and having to read it.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
But yeah, we had a good time, there's no doubt.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Not quite to the level of taking a picture of
you on a bachelor party and sending it back to
your significant other.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
But you know what, just be careful, Ryan I mean,
be careful.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
You say some of those things in confidence and then
you ended up tweeting it out. I think that's just
more further evidence that Ryan is the one member of
KSR that's already been abducted by aliens and they've already
given him back. So great to see you back, Shinnon.
It will be good to see Ryan back. But you
know what, I think Drew held it down. I'm gonna
be honest with you. I Drew Paluza was a big success.
(04:04):
We even got the mayor of Lexington in studio with
us Friday and Shannon. I was a little disappointed she
didn't say her favorite restaurant. You know, it's we're celebrating
two hundred and fifty years in Lexington.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Hey, these are.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Some of the best places to go. What's your favorite restaurant.
She's like me, I love them all.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, yeah, that's a very political answer, but it's yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
It's like, so if the mayor.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Endorses a specific restaurant, then it's you know, like she's
not getting paid for that. She's holding out for nil money.
I think that's what she's smart. You know, she doesn't
have to say, like which one's her favorite because then
everybody's gonna say, oh, this is Lexington's mayor's favorite place
to come eat.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, it's everybody that she doesn't mention at that point, right,
So it's it's kind of like your mom and dad
saying they don't have a favorite child, but you know,
damn well they have one.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Right right.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, it sounds like, you know, you guys held it
down so well that maybe Ryan and I.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Can just go back to Florida for another week. I mean,
what do you he does for?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
You know, tell the I mean, you know, we're just
doing our part. We're doing our part. But it's good
to have you back. And you're right, you missed a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, yeah, Where do you want to start?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Do you want to start with all the transfer portal,
the commitment, the recruits, the decommitments, or do you want
to start with your boy Rory yesterday and the Hobler
coaster of a.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Ride that he had winning. Where do you want to start?
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Well?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I mean, can I just say a small part about
the golf, because you know, there's a saying that it's
hard not to be romantic about baseball, but I can't
help but feel that way about not just golf. But
sports man, But how great was of a sports moment
was that yesterday? I mean, Rory has gone eleven years
since winning his last major, and the Masters was the
(05:43):
final one to notch off on the career Grand Slam.
Only five other golfers had done this, and only two
in the last sixty years, Shannon, if you include Rory.
So this was a huge achievement in the sport of golf.
And you can tell the toll it had taken on
him when he dropped to his knees on the eighteenth
grade for the playoff hole and started to tear up
and celebrate.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It was just a magical moment.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
And I know you're not a golf guy, Shannon, but
that was that was one of the greatest Masters of
all time.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I think you will remember that final round for a
long long time.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I even found myself watching some of it there at
the end. But a couple of really bad shots and
then that one amazing shot where he just hooked it
out within just a few feet of the green that
brought him back into the mix.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Oh, all the hook around the trees on the par five.
I was like, Man, I wish, a beautiful wish I
could play golf like that. Every time I tried to
hit that shot, it just hits a branch and comes
right back at my face.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It would not work out the same.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
By the way, all those patrons that line the fairways,
a few would have gotten hit if I was playing
in the Masters. I'm sure you're the same way. But
did you catch any of it? It sounds like you did.
I mean at the end you flipt it on.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah. And then Scotty Shuffler was there and he put
the green jacket on him. What a moment.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
The little uh, the ceremony and Butler Cabin where Rory's like,
I can't wait to go back and celebrate with my family.
And I mean, he's the first golfer to win the
Masters from Northern Ireland and then that is a huge
deal over there. He will be celebrated as a as
a sports god for the rest of his life. So
I'm happy for him. But I mean he made it difficult.
I mean, he how about how many times did he
almost collapse? And it was it was it was good theater,
(07:13):
it was.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Good drama and happy that it was a good tournament.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
When they were doing the little ceremony there with a
green Jacket does Jim Nance.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
He always does. He always have to talk like this,
like you know, like it's a Jim Nance. This is
you know, he's gotten so used to it, Shanna. Yeah.
I just feel like that that's just how he talks.
It's not even public radio Jim Nance, like, oh.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You don't have to talk like that now, like it's over.
He's not about to put for Birdie like you could
talk loud. It's okay anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
It's about the ambiance.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
And I guess the tone of it all, I don't know,
but you know, just only ten more masters left with
Jim Nance after he announced his retirement eleven years.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Right now, right right, yep. And I've announced my retirement
for twenty fifty six.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
So is that right, Mill That's a long time. You
got a lot more Jerry Eves and Leach reports to.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Do, but I cannot wait.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Quick note before we get into the Kentucky stuff, there
is I guess some issue with the iHeartRadio app on
the seven ninety the Nose Whistle seven ninety.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah, it sounds like Dan Patrick's trying to butt in.
What are you doing, Dan Patrick? Nobody wants to listen
to you listening to the ksrpre show. So yeah, let's
talk about Pope.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I mean, he was busy while I was gone, Right,
got a lot of stuff to talk about. Some you've
already covered, but stuff that I haven't had the chance
to talk about. Brandon Garrison. Let's start there. He's back, right,
We got that announcement. Eg, yeah, yeah, guy, that was
You know, if we're going to say if there was
one guy that maybe would be the enforcer on this
team last year, good to have Brandon Garrison back on
(08:37):
the team.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Then.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Jaden Quainton's a guy who you might remember committed to
Kentucky last year, then he de committed, ended up playing
at Arizona State for a year. He's now committed again
to Kentucky after is transferring back to Kentucky recovering from
a torn acl Also a guy who's projected to be
in the top ten of the NBA Draft. So out
of all these guys, that might be the one that
(09:01):
I'm excited about the most. Just to see what we
got in a guy that already committed here once, does
it make you leary at all? That? I mean, I
think the situation was different. He committed to Caliperry Calip
Perry leaves. I think if it weren't for that, he
would have been here this season. But now he's back,
and that's the guy that I'm excited to see.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Well, he's definitely got a love of Kentucky, and I
think that's why this marriage eventually ended up happening.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You know, Mark Pope is was.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Looking for a big recruiting win and jad and quaintenance
is that exactly one of the best players in the portal.
He's coming off of torn acl so not sure if
he'll be ready for the beginning of the year, but
that is a huge piece. And in Kentucky now I
think has one of the best front courts in all
the college basque.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
They have a whole new roster.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Since you've been gone, Shan, you know, you kind of
left at the exact wrong time. I mean, Jalen Low,
the point guard from Pittsburgh is somebody that you haven't
mentioned yet. Mo dia Bote from Alabama. It's a guy
that gave us a lot of issues. I mean Jelavic,
I think.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Is how we say his name. We can't.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I can't wait to talk about that guy. I don't
think it's Jelavic, But we'll go with that for now. Jello,
whatever I mean, you'll have to help me with the pronunciation.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Tom Leach say it earlier today and it wasn't. Well,
that's probably what it is, he says Jelovic. I don't
know what does call him Jelly for now, but man,
I can say it's a whole new roster and this
is just I guess, life in the transfer portal in
college basketball nowadays.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
But no doubt b G and JQ returning is it
does wonders for the five spot for Kentucky and hopefully
some of that continuity with Brandon Garrison pays off later.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You know, we did get a d commitment from a
Kayit and Lewis, and I think that's probably a direct
result because of Jalen Lowe coming in a guy who's
also a point guard, who has two years of two
years of eligibility. But I mean, who's to say that
a kay and Lewis couldn't have won that starting job
or couldn't have fought to win more minutes? What do
you what's your take on a Kayit and Lewis just
leaving going you know what, you got another point guard
(10:49):
you're bringing in. He's got two years of eligibility. I'm
out of here without without even considering, you know, staying
on the team and trying to fight for your your
your minutes and your job on the team.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I think it's I think it's disappointed from the outside
looking in. I mean, that's a guy whose family really
understood the power of BBN and the stage that they
can offer to their son. And he had a quote
after he signed where he said, I can't wait to
come in and start at point guard.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
This team needs me. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
You know, I think this is just more of how
things are going Shannon kind of alluding to the transfer
portal and just having to build a whole new roster
in a two week time period. It's just, you know,
if there's not going to be a path towards playing time,
then kids are gonna leave. But I think the appeal
of Mark Pope's system and culture is that you can
fight for playing time. It doesn't matter if you're Otega
Away or if you're Jalen Lowe. You're gonna have a
(11:37):
shot if you're one of the best players out there.
I think he proved that last year, so it's disappointing,
but in the grand scheme of things, it always felt
like Pope was just going to go back out there
and get somebody to replace him.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Right, yeah, yeah, So I'm want to talk just a
second about this uh Croatian player.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Oh, yes, you give me the name, I'm.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Gonna take a stab at it, Andreja Javelik. Is that
any better?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Well, you shamed me for Jelovic? But what did you
say that Jelovic Jelovic? You just said Jelovic. I think
you put a little Jelovic on it. Oh, it's more
like Gel than it is Gel.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Anyway, he's six foot eleven, god, that can shoot the three.
I watched a little bit of his highlights on the
road trip back yesterday just to see, like, what are
we getting in these guys, because you know, you read,
you know, the websites and the you know, the reports
of all the people who you know get paid to
do this stuff. You can take their word for it,
or you can go and you know, try to find
some stuff on YouTube and just watching the guy.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
He looks impressive. Six you find his mixtape, what do
you think?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Well, I mean that's the other thing too, Like a
mixtape though, can also make you or I look like
we can play basketball, you know, and make me look
good playing well.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
We could be we.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Could use some AI who could edit it up. Maybe
you give you a haircut, maybe.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Mari, well, hold on, hold on, haircut?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Where did that come from? I'm like Ricky Rubio over
here with my bangs. I mean, you are really committed
to that haircut. Like I thought that was going to
be a phase.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I thought maybe one day, you know, one or two
days you would come in with the little swoop, little
combver you got going back. I thought, then, you know,
three days later you'd have it slicked back again. But
you're all in on this, I like working on and
we got.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Moose in it today. So we're trying new things.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
But speaking of a kind of a different look, what
do you think about those those pink jerseys, those pink jerseys.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
That were aware oh the Croatian guy was playing in.
I mean, those are sweet, those are sweet? You know.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
The the international European prospects man is a market that
I'd always love to tap into. I mean, Big Z
was just such an interesting prospect and he looks so
good at times that you'd think, you know, there's got
to be some other guys out there that Kentucky could
take advantage of. And you know, Mark Pope, HiT's a
big one here. It felt like the Robert Morris guy
(13:46):
that was in Spain was going to be the stretch
for that you kind of needed. But it seems like
this Croatian man who can shoot the deep ball as well,
could be the missing piece. I don't know, shann you
tell me. Six foot eleven, twenty one year old freshman.
I feel like I'm in on this, know, like this
is getting me excited for the roster.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Do you think we got another big z hear what
he's doing. He may be better? Yeah, a little better,
let's hope.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
So. I mean, hopefully it doesn't take two thirds of
the season to get him eligible.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
But hopefully that's the other thing UK admissions message to you,
and please get this guy. Elli's go ahead and send
him American food now so we can get that out
of the way. Oh good, get his stomach ag.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah, send him some KFC, maybe some chas bar and grill.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
You know, hop but he's not chain smoking after practice.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And then you know, Pope may not be finished just
yet because he had a recruit come in over the weekend.
Who is at Keenland and that's Lamar Wilkerson from sam Houston,
who many people consider the best shooter in Conference USA. So, uh,
you know, I heard Leech talking about Pope taking Lamar
Wilkerson into the Winter Circle down in Keenland.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
It's probably not something that happens on every visit.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
No, No, I think that would work on me if
we have. I was on a recruiting trip. I don't
spend a lot of time a horse country and you
take me to Keenland and then you take me to
the Winter Circle like that.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I mean, I don't know if Pope had something to
do with that horse or he was just like, hey,
he's just kind of recruit with me. Yeah, we're just
going to join the winter Circles, just.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
A flex where we're like, you know, when you play
for Kentucky Basketball, you just walking in the Winter Circle
if you want to.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I thought it was pretty cool, uh, And this is
a guy that can really shoot it from Sam Houston.
State could be the final piece for Mark Pope and
this roster. They definitely need one more shooter and one
more guard. So I don't know, I don't know. Didn't
they do that with somebody else. It wasn't like a
Mari Williams or something like that that he took to Keenland,
because I feel like Pope had done this before.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
So, uh, you know, when.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Cody Figers posts that boom tweet, everybody gets a little lantsy,
especially if.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
He's a little late on the booms. I mean, I
think it was a little late on the first couple
many booms coming in. He couldn't keep up with them.
But yeah, Pope getting it done in the transfer portal
when I don't know, I guessaid. I don't think he's
finished just yet. So we'll talk more about that and
try to catch up on some other things from the
week where I missed and was partying with Ryan Lemon
down in PCB, partying like of a spring break down there,
(16:06):
I guess it was.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Technically it was it was our spring break too though.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
There was a picture of you guys like wadding into
the water together there like a locking real romance. Yes,

you mean, waiting in the water, waiting, wadding waiting wattle
like a penguin into the water waddling maybe yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Speaker 2 (17:17):
I haven't actually been on well, I kind of have,
because when we were in Milwaukee at that sports book,
Drew was.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
He was on a heater, right heater. Yeah, he was
doing really well.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
And he looks to me and he goes, hey, uh,
just pick a random winner here on this UFC fight
that's coming up. And I didn't know either of the
women that were fighting. It was female MMA, which I'm
just not a fan of, And I look up and
there's I forget her name at this point, but I
think it was Molly Molly something.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Anyway, put it on Molly. Put five on Molly to
win this fight.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Not only did Molly lose in the first round, Billy,
she took off the gloves and retired. My bet was
so bad we retired at UFC fighter right there in Milwaukee.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
But wow, maybe burn some more sage after something like that.

the Croatian's last name.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Are you ready for this? Let's go Yellovich.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
That's what I said. That's exactly what I said. I
wouldn't say exactly. I think I said Yellovich.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I'm getting a lot of texts that are saying, I
want to correct Shannon, the dude, he's wrong.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
It's Yellovich. So well, I think you need to open
your ears. That's what I said the first time.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Yellowvich, well, not jell Maybe I did it wrong initially,
but anyway, I'll.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Tell you what was more exciting for me.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Uh as far as all the news that came out
while I was gone, it's the Bellerman. My Bellerman Knights
got a date with Lucky coming up.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
That is awesome.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Now did they schedule that a couple of years ago
or I don't think they. Did they ever play that
Kentucky Bellerman game.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Or is it an exhibition game? I can't remember if
that happened or not. I don't think that. I can't
remember it. But off the top of my end.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
What we're talking about here as a regular season game though, right,
I believe so?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah, I think it's December is when it got scheduled.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Four. It will not be Scotty unfortunately, but it'll be
his son coming in.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Doug. I mean, you're gonna have to go to that one, right, dude,
I mean I need to.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah, I mean, as a Bellerman alumni alumnus, I am
looking forward to that. And you know, I think that's
something that we kind of expected when Pope took over
as head coach here, that he was going to schedule
a lot more Kentucky schools for these non conference games.
And I would rather wouldn't you rather play a Bellerman
or you know, Eastern Kentucky Western Kentucky than some out
(19:54):
of state school that really has no tie ins.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Too the status.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Oh come on, come on, you know my answer here
you're preaching in the choir. I mean, they glad that
they got to play Western last year. That's when we
figured out that maybe physically this team wasn't up for
the tasks. And they've learned a lot from since then,
but happy they did Western last year. Now Bellerman, I
guess next year will go to EKU or something like that. Right, well,
they'll have to come to Roup. I mean, please excuse me.
(20:17):
They're not going to go a road game anywhere.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
What you mean Kentucky is not going to come to
Knights Tall. Oh No, they're not. What do you benefit
them enough? You're scared of what I'm told?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
But anyway, I think that's really cool that the Bellerman's
on the schedule for next year eight five nine two
eight h twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Let's take a call. Let's go to David. Let's up David.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Hey, good morning guys. Glad to have you all back. Well,
one thing, I just I'm still baffled that they don't
have a decision yet on the scholarship quantity, Like, how
can you try to fill a roster if you don't
know if you're going to have thirteen or fifteen? I mean,
it's and then also I think there's something about the
(20:58):
maximum amount of money schools can spend. I don't know
how anybody can promise INIL money if they don't know
what the ruling.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Is going to be.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
The whole nil thing is just it's out of control.
It has been since day one. They've got to put
guardrails on this thing somehow. Right now, I would not
want to be a college coach because you are you're
making promises that you can't necessarily know that you're going
to be able to deliver on. And thanks for the
call day, but we appreciate it. But I would want
to be a player in college spas. I mean, come on,
(21:29):
talk about making the most of your opportunity.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Now.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
We could talk about the Tennessee quarterback Nico holding out
because he wanted a couple extra million dollars, and Tennessee
called his bluff. They just said, hey, we'll just move
on without you. He cannot transfer within the SEC. He'll
have to find maybe a Big ten or a Big
twelve school. But you know, we're waiting for this settlement
to come out any day now to give some guardrails
for nil. But until then, we're going to just keep
(21:54):
treating it like the Hatfields and the McCoys.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
There's no doubt the players are the big winners here.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
The crazy thing is, though, that these weren't, like the NCAA,
completely got caught with their pants down. They were not
ready for any of this stuff. They should have been
way ahead of the situation. Like those guardrails should have
already existed when NIL was rolled out.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Now they were too busy trying to keep amateurs contact
and it's way too late at this point, and it
is what it is, and you can't I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Can I get mad at a player for negotiating for
more money? I mean, can you get bad at your
coworker for negotiating for more money? It's kind of the
same situation at this point. We'll take your phone calls.
Coming up next eight five to nine to two, eighth
twenty two eighty seven. It's the KSR pre Show. Welcome back.
It is the KSR Pre Show. Eight five to nine,
two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. We got some
open lines if you want to give us a shout.
(22:40):
Let's catch up on a couple of other things that
happened while I was gone Billy. First of all, right,
last time I was, like I said earlier, first or
last time I was here, we didn't even have a
national champion. So quickly, just to recap the final four,
how about that epic meltdown that collapsed the doukead Houston
comes back. I couldn't believe what I was watching. I
(23:02):
was like, there's no way that Duke is gonna blow
this kind of lead. Well, they have like seven with
what thirty forty seconds something like that in the game,
and just a complete meltdown.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
You hate to see it happen to Duke.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Oh, you just hate to see it, you really do.
But a big thank you to Houston that beat Tennessee
and Duke in back to back weeks. Uh did not
get it done in the championship game, but you could
say as a Kentucky fan, that was the greatest gift
of all was Houston doing that. But how about Florida
man and the comeback they had to put out Houston
to come back and win that game. I mean, Walter
(23:34):
Clayton Junior couldn't hit the broad side of a barn,
you would say, in the first half, and then he
started heating up after he hit a three that about
eight minutes left, and and Todd Golden gets it done
in his third year at Florida. Shannon goes to show you,
I mean just only need a couple of years with
this transfer portal. If you're a good coach, you can
make an impact and you can lead your team to
a final four.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Portal has changed the game.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
You could come in immediately, you know, take a team
from being the worst in the conference to one of
the bell winning a national championship.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
It can flip that quickly.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
There really isn't I don't think such thing as a
rebuilding year anymore. It happens just you know, from year
to year. There's you know, you don't have to take
over a program and have to take two, three four
years to build up the program.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
You can do it immediately.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Well, for all to talk about the chalk and the
one seeds making the final four, he was a great
final four him and made up for maybe the lack
of upsets in the first couple round.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I wanted to get your take on Hakeem Olajawan. Did
you see this what happened with him? I don't even
know what this is, but we go, you know, after
Houston beats Duke Keem, Olajuwan's at the game, but the
security guards would not allow him to go onto the
floor to celebrate with Houston. And you know, I was
just kind of divided on like, okay, well should he
(24:44):
be allowed to go out onto the floor if he
doesn't have the right credential.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
But then again, he's at Chemo Lajawan.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
But then if your security you're going, well, maybe these
security guards don't even know who that is.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
They're just seeing a big, tall guy.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Obviously he played basketball somewhere, but they may not even
know who a Keem Olajawan was. But they didn't let
him go on to the floor, fair or foul security
letting go on to the floor with Houston after they
just won in the final four to go to the
national title.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
All Right, I'm gonna try to look at this as
both sides, because how do you not know one who
a chem Elijah one is? And with Houston being in
the final four, you gotta think this guy is a
part of it. You know, he's got doesn't care what
credential he has. I mean, he's a Hall of Famer.
You let the guy celebrate with the guys. But then
you know, a young Billy r Sports has got his
first security job, right, Hm, he's doing it by the handbook.
(25:35):
He doesn't know the history of the NBA or the
Houston has played in what twenty two to twenty things exactly.
I mean, please, I don't have time to care about that.
I'm too worried about my TikTok. But you don't have
the right credential. I'm not letting you in the court.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I'm kind of'm with you, man, Like I saw people
like in the comments section just throwing a fit and
I'm going, well, yeah, I mean, I understand he's a
chem Olajauan.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I would recognize the guy.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
But if your security you're doing your job. I mean,
you either have the right credential or you don't. I say,
it's more foul on Houston for not setting them up
with the credentials to access to be able to get
onto the floor like that. That's not on security. That's
on Houston for not taking care of one of your
former players.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
It is but perceptions reality. And you're the guy that's
trying to stop a chem Elijah one from getting on
the court. Right, you go viral for being five to
eleven trying to stop seven foot a Keem for getting
on the court to celebrate with Houston.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yeah, you're five to eleven and you blocked a chem olajuwon.
That would be a moment you could have for the
rest of your life.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Make sure. So I'm torn. I'm torn on this one.
But a rule is not a rule without a punishment.
That's true.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Matt has taught us that, So I guess I'm gonna
try to stop a chem from trying to get on
the court.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Another thing that happened while I was gone, OVW got sold.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Did you see this news?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I think I saw a headline. But tell me, what's
what's going on? Are you guys gonna start going to Europe?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Maybe more or maybe?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
So? I mean that opens up the pipeline I guess
for wrestlers to come over to OVW, and I guess
some of our guys to go there if they wanted
to in theory, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I mean it was an overseas buyer, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Was a europe Yeah, okay, Yeah, So Matt's no longer
the majority owner, but he's still going to be a
part of it. For those of you who are wondering,
like will he's still be part owner of OVW. He
will still be there some But they just sold and
probably made a good chunk of change doing that. So
congrats to OVW for now having some European ties.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Season two wrestlers Barcelona.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Yeah, here we go, Like they already missed out on
an opportunity to be there. For the whole sale when
it happened.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah. Probably. And then the other thing I got to
get your take on while I was gone, I got
to invite it to a dog birthday party? What a
dog birthday party? Okay?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
And I got to get your thoughts on this, because
I'm going, like, wait a minute, you're inviting people to
your house to party for your dog's birthday.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Like, I know, I know what you thought about this situation.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Yeah, and I know I'm about to make some people
mad with this comment, probably just as much as the
Gulf of America tweet that went out last week as well,
But till.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
You knew that had to come. Yeah, you're poking the bear.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yeah yeah, yeah, But I want to get your take
on this. You're invited at bill A to a dog
birthday party? Are you going? Or are you not going?
Because I didn't know that this was a thing where
people have dog birthday parties. The dog doesn't know it's
having a party for its birthday.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
No, that's your angle is the dog doesn't know it's
having a birthday. Dog sees that.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Okay, there's other dogs over here, and there's people. But
I've got I don't want to go to your dog's
birthday party.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Well, I feel like I'm inclined to take my dog
if I'm invited to the dog birthday party, right, I mean,
they probably want more dogs there, and my dog is
not a dog person or dog dog, so don't know
if we're going to be making the trip.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I kind of like having the one dog at the
party instead of like ten or twenty. But Shannon, it
seems like you're not on board with people inviting other
people just for birthday parties for their dog. No, I'm not.
I get this text. It's a group text with my
buddy and all of his friends, and he goes, hey,
we're having a dog birthday party. Do you want to come?
And I just left it like.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Is it a dog party or is it like a
party to celebrate my dog's you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Party to celebrate the dog's birthday. See. I don't like that. Like,
I guess they're gonna get him a birthday cake.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
I'd rather have the dog party hat that'd be a
more acceptable social situation. But you're telling me he's inviting
people over for his dog's birthday. Now, this is going
to upset people, Shannon, because there's many that treat their
pets like their baby.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Oh, I get it.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Like, you know, if you want to give, like your
dog makes some extra treats for its birthday, that's.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Fine, but don't drag me into your dog's birthday party.
So I left. I left the group text.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Unanswered, no response, and then I got hit with the
Facebook message. So I'm like, all right, well, now he's
like and I was luckily saying, Hey, I'm out of town.
I would love to come celebrate your dog's birthday with you.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
But no, I'm I'm out of town. I can't go now,
I kid you not.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Another person in the group text said I would like
to come, but I'm actually already scheduled for another dog
birthday party.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
So my question is.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
How many dog birthday parties are going on? Is this
a thing that I was not aware of? Like, you
already know how I feel about your gender revial party.
Now I guess people are like, this is a trend
where people are having birthday parties for their dog, and
I guess it's just the reason to drink people.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Well, look, I'm not going to the dog birthday party,
but Shannon, I'm not gonna pooh pooh on it.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Like you are you?
Speaker 3 (30:31):
No gender reveals, no dog birthday parties, like nobody can
have fun?
Speaker 1 (30:35):
No, we can.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
We can have plenty of fun. I just don't want
to be a part of a dog birthday party. I
think it's ridiculous. But I look online to see, like, Okay,
is this something that other people are doing or is
my friend just really weird.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
It's a trend. It's a thing that people are doing.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
So you know, I guess I can't blame him because
everybody else seems to do it.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Well. Gracie turns ten in March, so I'll give you
the call. No, don't invite me over for Gracie's birthday party.
I'll come have a beer with you. But we're not
doing dog birthday parties. Not here, not happening.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Oh, Ryan Lemon is back, Drew myself, Billy, are you
gonna jump on with us on KSR coming up next hour?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Or what are you doing? You? Not today? Not today?
But I did think that Ryan might be one of
those people that throws a dog birthday party, wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Sho Oh, I can one hundred percent see that, And
I got something I want to.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Bring up with you. And about Drew in just a minute.
But before we get to that, let.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Me tell you the segment of sponsor by the book
I Am Hope. Our friend Steven Hope, who's from Henderson County, Kentucky,
is the author of this book, I Am Hope. Growing
Up with an Attic is a powerful true story from
Stephen Hope, and the book is a real resource to
help break the cycle of addiction. We all know how
hard addiction has hit the Bluegrass State. You can find
(32:44):
it on Apple and on Amazon. Audiobook even comes with
exclusive bonus material. Check out I Am Hope. It's a
Kentucky story with the purpose. And you know I've talked
about this the last couple of weeks. If you're somebody
who's dealing with a similar situation, his goal by sharing
his experience of writing this book was to help prepare
others who are in similar situations and kind of show
(33:06):
them what to expect moving forward, how he felt in
certain moments and what it enabled him to keep going.
And he wanted to let people know that you are
not alone if you're dealing with someone who is battling
substance abuse. It's I Am Hope, and check that out
on Apple and on Amazon. All right, so you were
telling me during the break Billy that that Drew isn't
a play, yes, yeah, serious?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Or no, yeah, he grew end up in a play.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
So I was I was telling you, You've got to
bring this up on KSR this week because Drew revealed
to us that he will be in the play Romeo
and Juliet taking place in Lexington in the next couple weeks,
and he will be Count Paris, one of the suitors
of Juliet. What's Count Paris? Is that like a Dracula,
it's like a guy. His name's Count Paris. And I
guess he's trying to get with Juliette before Romeo could.
(33:54):
And he has yet to look at his lines yet.
So I mean we're I mean, I'm trying to shake
him look at your lines.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
But he will be in a play. There you go.
I have so many questions, Well those are questions for Drew.
I would say, well, I guess we can hang on
to it. But I mean, I got to even get
tied into being into a play.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
I guess he signed up to be in a play.
Is punishment that he's in a play?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
I don't know if he lost got last place in
his fantasy football league, Shannon, because that feels like an
appropriate punishment. But it doesn't sound like you were ever
somebody that was in a play. No, I mean I'm
in movies, but not in a play. Oh, that's right.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
You're in non speaking roles in movies, but you have
not done a play. I was in an addition of
Romeo and Juliet back in high school, Shannon, but I
was not on I guess on stage. I was the
sound guy, so very less glamorous as Count Paris. But
you know, investigate that with Drew as you return this week.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
I also saw you flaunting some bling during the break
as well. What is that?
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (34:54):
I was talking to Mario about my class ring. I
found my college class room. You're wearing it. Yeah, yeah,
I was trying to avoid telling you this because I
knew this was going to hapen.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
So this is, as you said, your college WKU class ring,
not the high school class ring.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
It's a class of twenty seventeen, and I don't know, Shannon,
this sounds a little sappy. It makes me incredibly proud
when I wear it, really, but it also makes me
feel like I have peaked in high school.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Energy well peaked in college. You got the college ring,
that's true. Yeah, it is the college ring. So maybe
I my frat days are well behind me. I peaked
in college.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I mean, like, you know, if you're a year fresh
out of college, okay, but like people who are sixty
years old still wearing their college ring.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
I don't know. Like if you want like a super
Bowl or you know, just very few people in the world.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
But if you want like some you know, championship and
you want to carry around the gold, Like let's say
you won the World heavyweight radio championship, you want to
carry that around everywhere, that's totally cool. But if you're
wearing your hilltop or class ring ten fifteen, say something
about it. I think I'm saying it right now. I'm
saying that maybe it is a little peaked in college energy.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
I can't have dog birthday parties, can't wear class rings.
The arbiter of what is acceptable. Shannon the dude, thank you.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
We were in Milwaukee and we were at that sports book.
There was some former Wisconsin basketball players who were up
there and they had like a version of their jersey
on with their name on the back. And I'm going
away these guys play their own jerseys played ten years
ago and they're still wearing around like their own jerseys.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Oh that's funny. That's embarrassing. That's funny. I like that.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Like what if I don't know Kyle Welchers just walking around,
or like Anthony Davis or like John Wallas just walking
around with their their jersey on.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
I mean, these guys played in the NBA at least.
But yeah, these are our glory days, Shannon. Please don't
take away my college days where I peaked, and I
just want to remember them. Those guys they were playing
basketball back would you say, Wisconsin? Yeah, and that was
the prime of their life. They're all having a drink together.
They all just want to feel connected.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
You know.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
So just in case their buddies forgot their last name,
they suhould put.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
It on their backs exactly. Yeah. I mean then you're
able to figure it out. Okay, a little little desperate.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Maybe if we get some KSR rings so we can
all wear those together.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
No, we're not doing that. Free bird, what's up? Free bird?
How are you? Free bird? Free bird? With arms wide open?
Where are you?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Maybe you didn't recognize the name after he changed his
name temporarily.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Hey did you see this news?
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Also while I was going, Shannon the Dude's brew or
Country Boy Brewing got third best brown ale on untapped,
which is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
It's pretty cool little award.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
So shout out to Country Boy Brewing and thanks to
everybody who's tried it and you can. You can still
get it at Country Boy Brewing and Georgetown and Louisville
right up the road from here. It's good stuff. You
should definitely give it a try. And big thanks to
everybody who voted a third best. We're going for the
gold next year though, Billy, I love the new recipe
of Shannon the Dude Berry. You should definitely check it
out if you ever find yourself at Country Boy. I
(37:53):
did speak to the Lexington mayor, Linda, and I was like,
I can't believe you have a Shannon the Dude day
here and life.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
She even get that, she even remember that. She was like, oh,
of course I love Shannon. There you go, that's my mayor.
Shannon's the best. That's right.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
See, we've got a great mayor here atible Craig Greenberg.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
And then when's Billy our sports day? Huh? Well, when
you get your butt out there, and it's gonna walk
fifty miles. That's it. No, you've got a wound day,
you gotta walk fifty one. Hell, I'll walk in the
rain too.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
I'm not gonna even wait till the seventy degrees in
the birds are chermany.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
You don't even want to walk from the parking garage
to the elevator to get to the studio every day.
I know you're not going to do that. I'm here.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Some other good news also, speaking of Lobal, Bourbon and
Beyond and Louder Than Life announced last week that they're
going to keep the festival here for the next decade.
That's that's great news for the economy and for music
lovers like myself. So I was really excited about that.
You're going to have ten more years of Billy r
Sports and Shannon the Dude hanging out at Louder Than
Life listening to Ikubus the Island festival grounds.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
I guess that's that turns out to about eighty more
days you got to spend out there at the convention
Center and doing Bourbon and Beyond. I guess if you're
doing both of them, that's going to be more than
eight right, So maybe even more than that.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
So great news. Glad to hear that. Let's go to Randall.
What's up, Randal?
Speaker 5 (39:08):
Hey, I just wanted to pass along kudos to the
Athletic Department for doing the open practice on the Commonwealth
field this year for change. I just about wasn't going
to go because it was cold and the way that
it was set up for the past few years where
it's on that practice field. They've got all the press
roped off and they've got the first ten yards and
(39:31):
then we're standing there back in the peon section and
we can't even see a play because you know, the
press is following them back and forth. But you know,
this was a nice atmosphere. We got to see everything
that was going on on the field, and which I
wish they would have promoted it more, but I think
they would have had a better turnout. But anyway, it
was a good time and we really enjoyed that, my
(39:51):
grandson and I.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yeah, thanks to the car Randall. We haven't really talked
any football today. We'll save it for later on in
the week. Just trying to catch up with everything that
was happening while I was out a but yeah, we're
already looking ahead to football and Zach Calzada's seventh year,
seventh year player, Billy like that at that point, you're
a grown man out there, Like if you didn't think
the college athletes were already grown men.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
How old is Kelazada? Twenty? I think twenty four years old?
Twenty four year old quarterbacks? You talk about some veteran.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Leadership, and you know the players have been talking really
highly about him, saying that he throws a very catchable ball.
You know, a type of quarterback that can make you
open if you're not already. And I think you know,
this guy's gonna hopefully lead the team to a big
season coming up.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Yeah, I hope.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
So I can't remember the last Kentucky football season where
the starting quarterback didn't get injured for at least one game, So,
Cutter Bowley, these guys need to be ready to go.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
But hopefully this guy is the answer.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
You know, Drew was at the spring showcase, so I'm
sure he will have some details on Casar coming up.
But we had Ty Bryant on the show last week.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
He was really good.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
We did talk some football with Adam Luckett, so it's
ways away, but Shannon, we could uh you know, be
hopeful because right now Kentucky's undefeated.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Right, that's right? Yeah, zero and zero.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Yeah, say that's why we can Yeah, exactly. So somebody
was telling me I didn't pay again, I don't watch UFC.
The UFC three fourteen was already last weekend, right, it
already happened Saturday. So DraftKings you need to give me
some updated copy. Until then, I'll just tell you to
go bet on baseball.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Don't bet on the Braves. They're terrible. Uh what have
they got? Three? Are we up to four wins? Jet
four and ten? It's awful.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
I was thinking about you because they were playing the Rays.
I think they did get at.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Least oh I saw some of them. One of those. Yeah,
one out of three over the Rays. But anyway, you
guys are at the minor league stadium.
