Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show.
I'm Billy Rightly along with Shannon the Dude. It is Thursday,
April seventeenth. You give us calling the Clark's Pumping Shot
phone line. That's eight five nine two eight oho two
two eight seven Texas at five oh two two sixty
five six six five six and is always The KSR
pre Show is brought to you by Italics Fine Italian

(00:23):
Dining right here in Lexington, Kentucky, who announced they are
extending their partnership with the KSR Pre Show. So big
thank you to Italics and everything that they've done for
the show. I am ready to go for the KSR
pre Show because I just found the best picture of
Gene Mitchell I could find on the internet and I
just posted it online, so that means we're ready to go.

(00:44):
Shannon is in Louisville. Good morning, Shannon.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
I hope that people know who you're talking about. I
guess if you missed KSR yesterday, you didn't hear the
Gene Mitchell conversation about the Panama City Beach Lounge singer
who is a local legend Ian Mitchell, and we always
catch him every time I go down there and we
were talking about you know, when we brought Ryan and
yoga girl out to dinner one night, I said, you

(01:08):
got to go see this guy, Jean Mitchell. I mean,
the guy is amazing, and I've said it sarcastically. You know,
he's good, you know, but he's not like he's not
like I put him over as being. But we get
there and Ryan goes up and he decides that he's
going to try to prank me and pull Gen Mitchell
over and tell him that I'm his biggest fan. Turns

(01:31):
out the joke was on Ryan because Gene Mitchell took
a liking to Ryan. It would not stop talking to
Ryan and talk his ear off for the rest of
the night. And at that point forward, like when he
had to go back up there and do a set,
he would look over at Ryan and give him a
little nod, a little wink. Like I feel like every
song from that point forward that night was dedicated to
Ryan Lemon specifically. It was like he was having his
own little personal private concert.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Well would you say, yesterday, he's like got the little
Kentucky Joe in him.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Oh yeah, yeah, Like you know, like he comes up
to you want to say hi to the guy. You
think he'll take a picture of walk on and you know,
go on about his business.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
He just kind of sat there and lingered and talked
and talked and talked, and Ryan I think regretted that
decision of bringing Gen Mitchell over to the table.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
They say, never meet your heroes, Shannon, When I was
a young boy, I went to the Mike Allstatt football
camp for a week and at the end you get
to meet Mike Alstott. He was a fullback for the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And Mike did not give me at
the time of day.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Oh wow, just the opposite of a Gene Mitchell.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
No, it was Yeah. It was like everybody could come
into his office and get something signed, and you could
take a picture with him and have a conversation. And
my guy maybe spent twenty seconds with me total, maybe
two on the signature, seven on the photo, and the
other what twelve or thirteen to tell me to get
the hell out of his office.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
So it was crazy.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
It was definitely one of those don't meet your hero's moments,
but you ended up meeting one of your heroes.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
We worked a little bit of a different situation.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Again we say that tongue in cheek about this guy.
But you know, like I have met who I would
call like childhood heroes, and it was the people that
I looked up to well in music. You know, I'm
a huge fan of Stone Tiple Pilots, and I've gotten
the chance to meet Scott Wiland a couple of times
before he passed away. He was awesome, he was nice.
He let me come up and sing a song or
at the beginning of a song with him a couple

(03:09):
of different times, like in big shows too, like in
front of eight thousand people type shows. And then I
got to meet my wrestling hero as a child, the
King Jerry Little when we were Jerry Lawler when we
were in Memphis, and we went to his barbecue restaurant
there on Bill Street, and not only was he nice

(03:31):
enough to take a picture with us and talk with us,
Matt and I told him how big a wrestling fans
we were, and he kind of took us over to
his VIP area and sat there and talked to us
for about thirty minutes and probably would have sit there
and talked to us all night if it weren't for
his girlfriend who was about thirty or forty years younger
than him. Good looking girl who's like Jerry, let's go,

(03:53):
I'm ready, I'm ready for dinner. Let's leave.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
I'm ready for bed. Maybe that works out for the
old man Joy.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
The King's got some game. Man. He's like Mick Jagger
of wrestling.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
He's like Bill Belichick, he's like in.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
His seventies, and he's dating this beautiful woman who's like,
you know, twenty five. I'm like a fan. It is
good to be get the King. I guess can I.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Just pause for a second and stop how bizarre it
is the change that I have to do from the
lead report to the pre show, Shannon, because we hosted
the pre show and I'm talking to Justin Rowland about her,
you know, Hardley Gilmour and Miss Demeter assault charges or
you know Mike de Corsi in the in the Future
of College Sports and quarterbacks holding out, and then I
go on to the pre show and it's like Gene

(04:37):
Mitchell and PCBs. They could be lose my mind a little.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
It's a good show. It's a good balance, you know.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
It is it is we Also I did feel a
little bit for the Mark Pope in Somerset who was
just getting calls by Shannon the dude trying to get
somebody on the air. Nope, no, Mark Pope.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Here's the conversation. Yeah, I don't know Ryan. I guess
somebody told Ryan that there was a person in Somerset
named Mark Pope, and he somehow found his number, his age,
his home address, his dental records, and he texted it
all to me and said, hey, man, you got to
call this Mark Pope in Somerset so we can bring
him on the show. You know, let's just assume there

(05:18):
is a Mark Pope in Somerset, just a normal guy
going about his business, and you get a call from KSR,
the biggest radio show in the state of Kentucky. And
I call him up and I said, hey, is this
Mark Pope? And he goes Nope. I go I was
told this is Mark Pope. He said no. I said, Okay,
have a good day. That was it. That was the conversation.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Well, it's got to be odd to be named after
somebody famous, right, I mean, Michael Jordan is the key
example here as somebody that was with iph Heart for
a long time. It was our boss. And when Michael
Jordan called you almost thought for maybe a half second,
Michael Jordan.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah, can we get Scottie Peppin on the other line, Yeah,
Boris Grant, maybe do a party call?

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, I mean, is Steve Carr next?

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Like, I don't cart, right, it's gotta.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Be bizarre I have the same name as somebody famous,
because then you've become instantly, you know, named after somebody else, right,
I mean, and then that's got to suck to a degree.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, especially if it's like somebody that's got you know,
some negative you know, uh, you know, somebody that's done
something bad in the news, and then you've got you
know that you have to almost be associated with that person,
guilty by association just because of your name.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, that's right. I mean if my name was Jeffrey Epstein,
I would have a tough going through life.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, Ordahmer, jeff.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Be a weird existence. He's having to go around and
being the second fiddle every.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
You can't tell people you want to have him for dinner.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
You know.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
We do need to talk about the caller that called
in a couple of days ago on KSR and called
you out. Shannon called you lazy.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
I don't think can you remember this though, Like I
think it was two days ago, right, it was two
days ago.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Oh, he definitely called you lazy. I just wanted to
give you a chance to to rebuttal little bit.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Then I rebuttled on the air to that caller when
he called in, I said, yeah, that's it. I'm lazy.
You know, I do six radio shows a day. I
couldn't be bothered to change the liner that says, welcome
back to Kentucky Sports Radio. Now here's Matt Jones. Because
Ryan is Ryan is filling in for five days. Yeah,
let's change let's change it all up just for that.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, shit, can you drop one of your afternoon shows?
Maybe not come in at six thirty in the morning,
Maybe come in at six to get that done.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah. Sorry, I'm inconveniencing your listening experience by not doing that.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
But it bothers some people, I.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Guess it does.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Maybe you could say that's GM billy's job to get that.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
You could say that, I mean it's mainly for the sponsorship, right,
because you know that that's the main thing. As long
as the sponsorship is in there, that's what they're paying for.
They're paying for that. So we're just giving them their
their money's worth.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
We will talk about Kentucky sports today. I mentioned Hardley Gilmore.
He's back with the Kentucky team. Is that the right
decision or not? I think people will have some opinions
on that. Eight five nine two eight h two two
eight seven is the phone line if you'd like to join.
Who had his first dress rehearsal for Romeo and Juliet
yesterday at the Lexington Children's Theater, Shannon, do you have
any advice as a fellow, you know, theatrical person. I mean,

(08:09):
you're in these movies now, you're an actor, You're starting
to move up the ladder of success. Any words of
advice for our friend Drew as he gets ready to
embark on this journey.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Just just be prepared. That's it. Sometimes being prepared is
the best, the best piece of advice I could give
you for anything, whether you're hosting the Leach Report or
going up to do a Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare play.
Just be prepared. Just know what you're doing. Don't don't
bring the You don't want to be the guy who's
not prepared while everybody else is and the play sucks

(08:42):
because you forgot your lines, I just.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Forget your line and you're looking over to the sides.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
That's right, you got it. You gotta take it seriously.
And I know that Drew will because you know, he
over prepared for his hosting that he did last week
on KSR. I'd be willing to bet I don't know this,
but I'd be willing to bet that he had more
notes than what he even got to on the air,
you know, more than what he even was able to
get to and cover.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
And it said that every show, And I do you know,
like when.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Am we prepare for this show? When I'm driving the
ship like I will be tomorrow, I'll have more topics
than what we even get to even on a even
on a summer day. What this isn't summer but just
a summer show, I guess for us being in April.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, I'll check in two months from now and see
if you're still saying that, Shannon, I.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Mean I did last year. No, I did it last year.
I've got evergreen topics ready to go at any time.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah. So I mean hopefully Drew is prepared. He said
he did open his script yesterday, so you know, I
don't think he has a ton of lines. But our
guy will be ready, you know. Can you know the
opposite of this is he's not going to be standing
around waiting like you were in the middle of the night.
You know they've got showtime.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
It's good, they'll do it.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah, you know, there's no like, Oh, can you stick
around for another three hours? Yeah, drink coffee and donuts. Well,
Shannon's I got a morning show. I've got to go do,
so you need to wrap this up.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Did I tell you that they've already reached out to
me for two more movies?

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Well, they reached out to me first, and I said, yes, oh,
Shannon's age, I would I think this is something that.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
You're telling me. Okay, so you're you're the reason. Welcome,
You're the reason.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Okay, but tell me more? Yeah, like what is expand
if you will?

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Well, I just deleted the emails. There's no said don't
don't call me until you're ready for me to have
a speaking role. So I'm serious about this. You think
I'm joking. You think that my last experience as being
a background actor, You thought that I was just kidding
when I said I'm not going back until they give
me a speaking role. No, I'm serious, Like, dude, don't
come at me with your background acting roles anymore. I've

(10:32):
moved on for that from that.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Well, and that's what I told him. I was like, hey,
I mean he's looking for a speaking role. If you'd
like to pass this along, you can, but yeah, expectations
are not high. Well, we'll have to get you into
play one of these days, Shannon, if that's the speaking
role that you're looking for. But if I'm nine two
eight oh two two eight seven, if you'd like to
join us, maybe you have a speaking role for Shannon
the dude. I have a bet on Draft Kings that

(10:55):
I guarantee is going to hit.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Guarante, Okay, we can't. I don't think we can do.
I don't think you can guarantee.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Well, that's true. I don't think legally we can. I
think this is a ninety nine point nine percent chance
to hit. There were some developing news over the last
couple couple days that is gonna make this thing even
more so, and I want to tease it. So we're
gonna take a break five oh two two six six
text line. If you don't even know what this is,
this is a gambling bet that I have a lot

(11:22):
of confidence in So if you want to stick around
and make some money, I think you should stick around
for the next segment. Also, some UK sports news happening,
and uh, like Shannon said, some evergreen topics that we
will get to, including Jack Gibbons his phone bill after
the Leach Report this morning.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
We got to talk about that.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
All right, we will, we will at some point. We'll
take a break here on the show. Before the show.
It is the case I apprecial.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Oh yeah, I was.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Little Gen Mitchell this morning.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, some saltry Gen Mitchell right there, some baby making music.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
So is he just he's just the bar or lounge
singer in PCB. He's like got a piano in front
of him.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
No, No, it's it's him and a guitar. He's kind
of like a like a local Jimmy Buffett. I think
that's like I think he was the inspiration for Jimmy Buffett. Actually,
I think I think Jay saw you know this guy
Gen Mitchell, I want to be like him, and then
you know, the rest is history.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
You got to wonder why, you know he just hasn't
hit it big time like Jimmy. Jimmy took no no, no, no,
you got it wrong.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Gene has hit it big. I just don't think that
you guys realize it. You just don't know what's popular.
Oh okay, yeah, you kids are so out of touch.
Local legend, maybe local like on the planet Earth legend.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Shannon, tell me about DraftKings because I am excited to
give you a bet that I am sure is going
to hit well.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
I can't wait. I can't wait to hear that. Until then,
let me just tell you on DraftKings that you know
the NBA playoffs are here. You can bet with promo
code KSR. As a new customer. You bet five dollars,

applying new customers only. Bonus bes expired one hundred and
sixty eight hours after issuance for additional turns were responsible
gaming resources see dk MNG, dot Co, slash audio, and
now Billy give me the lock.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
All right, load up the account. This is write message
for Drew Franklin as well because it involves his Tennessee Titans.
I believe it will be cam Ward, the Miami quarterback,
who will be drafted number one overall by the Titans
because earlier this week, Shannon, he was streaming on Twitch
and playing Fortnite, and he was asked who are the

(13:40):
top four wide receivers in the National Football League. Cam
Ward said Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, and then proceeded to
say two Titans receivers in Calvin Ridley and Treylon Burks.
He was then asked cam who's the best running backs
in the NFL. His first two answer Shannon two Titans

(14:03):
players Tony Pollard and Taj Spears. At minus twenty thousand
on DraftKings, I'm here to tell you cam Ward is
gonna go first in the NFL draft coming up later
this month. There you go, Shannon, there's your Lock of
the century. Wow.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
That is uh, that's interesting. So I guess if you
are on Twitch or if you're in that world you
would already know that.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
You'd already maybe got in with lower odds if you
were streaming on Twitch. You know, I'm really going out
on a limb saying a minus twenty thousand odds bed
is going to hit, Shannon. So I guess that means
you've got to bet twenty thousand dollars to win one
hundred dollars in this.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Situation minus twenty thousand. Yes, yeah, that would be it.
So if you're willing to break the bank a little bit,
and maybe I don't think I'd be willing to risk
twenty thousand dollars though, I mean, like, what if something
happens between now and then.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
You know, well we've seen you know, Laramie Tunsel appeared
in a video in a gas mask long hours before
the NFL Draft, and he dropped a couple spots. So yeah,
I guess anything is possible, Shannon. But do you like
that him eluding on Fortnite is maybe tipping off that
he's gonna be the number one overall pick.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
I mean, I I guess it really doesn't matter, right,
I mean, if you know, if you're able to get
a scoop from this guy and he's I guess putting
it out there publicly, it's not really that much of
a surprise anymore, is it. I mean, I feel like
everybody has a tie in with these guys somehow, right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, just be careful with your Scoop. We know Scoop
lemon Is is great at what he does, but sometimes
he can miss, So I guess take that with a
grain of salt. I will bring up something that does matter, though,
and that's the Kentucky football team getting another commitment today
and hardly Gilmour, the former Kentucky player who left the
team at the end of last year and was dismissed

(15:49):
from the Nebraska football program just a couple like a
month ago, announced it was announced today he will be
rejoining the Kentucky football roster. Shannon This is something I
mentioned on the Leach Report. He was charged with misdemeter
assault at a Lexington storage facility in December of twenty
twenty four. Mark Stoops has talked a lot about changing

(16:10):
the culture and not enough discipline in years past. What
do you think about this fit cultural really for the
Kentucky football team with Hardley Gilmore coming back.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it? Talking about Mark Stoops wanting
to you know, basically make sure that we're gonna run
a clean program. We're not gonna have any of these
instances pop up again like we had last year, where
it was a culture issue. You heard a lot in
the locker room that there was there were issues with
you know, maybe guys not getting along, maybe guys not

(16:42):
showing up for practice when they don't feel like it.
And then you bring in a guy who now has
a track record of conduct issues. So if you bring
them in, I think it's gonna be an absolute zero
tolerance situation. You know, like one little thing, you're gone,
don't you think, I mean, if you're gonna be serious
about it. But on the flip side of that, I'll
also say, you know, credit to Vince Meryl because he's

(17:04):
one of these recruiters that never burns a bridge, always
keeps in contact with these guys because you're always recruiting.
You're always recruiting even when they're not with you know,
maybe they've been here, they've they've left, there's always a
chance they could come back. And this right here is
a perfect example of.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
That talented guy. I mean, Nebraska coaches were fawning over
him after their spring practices and spring game. I guess
and somebody that followed Dane Key and the receivers coach
to Keil Schwartz to Nebraska. But you know, Justin Rowland
said this morning, this is just a pure like talent
wins over. I guess you know the issues that he

(17:40):
had off the field, and so if they are looking
for that talent, Jamory Macklin, Kendrick Law put hardly Gilmour
up there, and it sounds like you've got a pretty
productive receiver room. It comes on the heels of this
spring transfer portal window where guys that just committed to
Kentucky are already deciding to leave. In the example, here

(18:00):
is New Mexico transfer offensive lineman Wallace unambe is back
into the portal just after he joined the team in
the winter College Football portal.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Crazy.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
I don't know what to do with this shit. I mean,
we are waiting for the house versus the NCAA settlement.
Maybe this helps with the trip, I don't know if
that's going. That's gonna help more with like the distribution
of money and nil. I don't think that changes these
guys doing this transfer portal song and dance where they're
going to change two or three schools before they even
play one season.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
That is I mean, look at the Trays and Eagles
staff situation. I'm looking at a tweet from March the thirtieth.
It says he had committed to play basketball for South Carolina.
Fast forward too, was it yesterday? Day before? He is
decommitted and now looking to go elsewhere?

Speaker 1 (18:44):
In the port fifteen days? Fifteen sixteen days?

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Like it was so bad in South Carolina that he
couldn't take it for two weeks. He's done. What could
be so bad? You get there and you've already decommitted again?

Speaker 1 (18:57):
See that in that case, I don't know. That is
the portal window. So I mean that is bizarre. Maybe
the new Mexico offensive lineman came in in the winner.
You know, the spring practices weren't what he thought. Maybe
he isn't going to play, and now this window is
his opportunity to go find another team. But you know,
part of me understands, and it's like, hey, me and

(19:18):
you have the opportunity to go to a radio show
and we see fit. We can change jobs when we want.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
You know, if you well, it depends. I mean if
you're on contract, you can.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
There are some noncompete situations in our business, but in
the normal American you can change jobs like this. So
part of me says, hey, this is just the American way.
Let him find the most value for himself. But then
the other side is, you can't keep this.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
This isn't you can't take it. Seriously, you can't. When
you got a guy that's doing something like that. You're there,
you commit, You're there for two weeks, you're gone two
weeks later. I mean, I just don't know, like, how
could it be that bad that you're like, oh, oh,
I don't like it here, I'm gone. You don't even stay.
We're not talking we're not talking about a season. We're
talking about two weeks.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, not even a season. And you know, even you
could look at a season as as a little drastic,
but in a two week period.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Now you got guys that are playing five seasons and
they're playing with five different teams.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
And it comes on the heels of the news of
the Tennessee quarterback nico Ia Maliava, who is expected to
sign with UCLA, but his family came out yesterday and
said they are not transferring because of the money. It's
because of the Tennessee offense. Wow, Tennessee, I mean you're
just damage control of this point.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah, come on, we all know you were demanding more money.
That's why you left. They didn't give it to you.
You left. It wasn't because of the offense. So Nico
was saying, this offense is so bad, But you know what,
if you give me some more money, I think I'll tolerated.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Tennessee's offense was fifteenth nationally last year. UCLA was one
hundred and fifteenth eighteen.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
If he had a problem with that offense, what's he
gonna do?

Speaker 1 (20:58):
And against the exact you're looking for a back and
if you're you know, most don't make it to the NFL,
most don't make it to the NBA, You're going to
make the most of your opportunities while you have him.
I get that, but.

Speaker 5 (21:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
I don't think this is going to be a trend.
I just I hope not. I guess. I mean personally,
because I feel like college sports is no more. It
is professional sports. It is minor league to the NFL
and to the NBA, and we are losing a lot
of the values that we've had over the years. But
we will see how it all changes and how it
all evolves. Kentucky will be a big part of it.

(21:34):
Whether Lamar Wilkerson's deciding to go to Indiana because he
doesn't want to be one of the guys here, just
another guy.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, which I'm sure we'll talk about Indiana and Kentucky
that that's been announced for Rupper in a right, we
got a mix of that.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Oh, talk about a great ticket to get to Shannon.
I mean, I know Indiana is irrelevant, but please, you
want to beat them down as much as anybody on
the horse.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yeah, and then come out and boo the guy Lamar
Wilkerson who just picked picked Indiana over Kentucky. We'll see
how well that works out for him.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yeah, just blue coats, be careful, don't you know. Don't
be flipping any fingers or anything like that when Indiana
comes to town. You could be in trouble. Eight five
nine two two two eight seven. We'll take a break.
Got some other topics along the way that we'll get
to before we hand it off to Ryan Lemon and ks.
Are are only a couple more shows without Matt Jones.
Keep it locked where you got it. It is the
show before the show, the KSR pre show on a

(22:24):
local legend. I do feel bad for the podcast listeners
that aren't hearing Gene Mitchell. We've given them a tweet
us Local Legends never stops talking.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Yeah, like this has gotta be the most radio play
he's ever gotten.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean might as well hire us
as you know, the marketing team for him and his
his next single or album that will be coming up.
And I'm sure Shannon and the dude will tell us
all about it before I rail on Gail King in
some of the comments she's made about being becoming an
astronaut in the four minutes that she's spent in space. Shannon,
how long does it take you to eat a meal?
If I put a lunch your dinner meal in front

(23:01):
of you, how about how long do you think it
would take you to eat?

Speaker 2 (23:03):
I have mastered eating fast and it's not good for you.
Like I feel like I can eat so fast I
may give like Joey chest now to run for his money,
not like in as far as like the quantity of
food that I can eat, like the amount of like
let's say, hot dogs, No way, I could eat seventy
hot dogs and ten minutes like he can. But I'm
just saying if it's like just one, I can go

(23:24):
pretty quick. So like at one meal, I would say
I can eat depending on what, Like, give me a
hypothetical meal, what's on the poll.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
I'm sure you're good at scarfing down those wieners, So
I mean, if you want to stick with that, I mean,
how fast do you think you could eat four hot dogs?

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Four hot dogs is a lot. I'm just talking about that.
Give me an ormal sized meal. Yeah, hot hot dog
in a small bag of chips two minutes.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Two minutes. That's such b ass shited. Don't lie to
me two minutes to eat. You're not Joey Chest not
dipping the bun in your water two minutes.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
I can do it in two minutes. I have no time.
I eat like I have no time in between these shows.
So sometimes you got to eat something, and I can
hear you.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Are a busy guy. Yeah, a busy guy. Well, you
alluded to what these new studies are finding. Shannon. If
you're eating any meal in less than twenty to thirty minutes,
you're eating too fast. It takes about twenty minutes for
the stomach to communicate to the brain via hormone signals
that it's full. When people eat rapidly, it's easy to overeat.

(24:28):
It's easy to miss these signals, and it's easy to
eat beyond the point of fullness, which is actually very
unhealthy for you. People that eat fast have a higher
risk of obesity. If you are a quick eater, I
guess the advice is be present, put your phone down,
turn the TV off. When you focus entirely on a meal,
you tend to eat it slower and enjoy it more.

(24:50):
But Shannon's talking about eating two dogs in a.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Bag of chips, one dog, one dog, one dog, one
dog in a bag of chips in two minutes. Yeah,
I could do that.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
I think you need to slow down, buddy.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
I blame my high school because if you remember, like
back in high school, I don't know if it was
like this for you. You go in, they give you
thirty minutes. That's all you get. That's true, thirty minutes.
But you've also got to go through line. You gotta
get your food, you gotta pay for your food, you
gotta find a spot sit down. By the time you
do that, you got like ten minutes to eat everything.
So I think that started the habit a long time ago.

(25:23):
And I've been a fast eater. Now, you said that
if you eat fast, you're gonna be obese. I don't
look to.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
You're a little skinny over there. You're fast too, it's
pretty skinny.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Yeah, So I don't think your study holds any water.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Well, you know, Kobeyashi isn't that big, and neither is
Joey Chestnut. So I think there are outliers, but we
are an obese nation, Shinnon, and I think we have
a tendency to eat with our phone in our hands
or with the TV on.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
I think it's more about what you eat than how
the speed and what you eat it.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Well, I'm telling you it's both at this point. It's
not only just the the awful processed foods that we
eat as Americans today, but it's how fast we eat
it as well.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
So down on the how long does it? How long
does it down? How long does it take you to eat?
How long? How long would it take you to eat? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Two days? Like I two days? Okay, I don't eat
a lot to begin with, so, uh, but I'm not
taking thirty minutes for a meal either. I think that
was a great point about high school man. We've been
trained to eat fast. Now do you and say I
eat around the table or will you?

Speaker 3 (26:25):
No?

Speaker 2 (26:25):
That is not a that's the traditional Like do people
still do that anymore? Seat around the table, sit around
the table as a family. Maybe it's because I don't
have like a family. Maybe that's it. But I don't
like live with my family, is what I mean.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
You don't have kids, you know what I mean trying
to instill values into your children. That's what I mean
is when you will eat at the table.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
I would rather sit at a bar and just eat
and watch TV. That's me. Like if I'm at home,
I'm gonna sit there at the island bar. Oh yeah,
and uh yeah. I'm not gonna sit sit around a
table around table and share your favorite moment from the day.
I'm not doing that.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
So you know, in Europe, maybe you're in Italy, they
take maybe hours to dine on lunch and dinner. In America,
you're enjoying a little Gene what is it, Gene Mitchell,
and he's doing some singing and dancing, and you're eating
in less than thirty minutes. And that's why our cultures
are just so so different. Speaking of eating Orioles, broadcaster
Jim Palmer revealed earlier this week that he has never

(27:27):
eaten a chicken wing in his life. He made the
bet on TV that he will eat a chicken wing
if the O's hit a Grand Slam this year. But Channon,
I mean, can you imagine a life where you haven't
had a chicken wing before? Not even the curiosity to
eat one. That seems a little bizarfre.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
The Jim Palmer's in his seventies at this point.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
He's a little bit older.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
He's gotten this far through life and has not ever
experienced the joy of eating a chicken wing. He says,
he said that has skin on it, so he wouldn't.
He said, never even had fried chicken.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
You've seen this, you've seen the story.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
Say he hasn't even had fried chicken before, And his
broadcast partner pushed him on, like you've never had fried chicken.
He's like, well, I just pull off the crust in
the skin, so you're pulling off all the flavor basically, Okay,
what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yeah, come on, Jim, you believe it's got to be
a personal choice. Right, you don't go through seventy years
in America and not have a chicken wing.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, it's a bad personal choice. I love wings.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
I mean you never heard a wing day at Chaos
Bar and Grilled Jim.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Yeah, we got to bring them in. Just throw a
bucket of wings at him.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
I mean, I know you're tied to Chaos Bar and Grill,
But there is there another place that you like chicken
wings at. I mean, is it sacrilegious for you to
give another answer besides Chaos Bar and Grill.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
I'm not gonna look no free advertising here, okay, So
just give me one, Just give me one flock.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Well, I've enjoyed some Hooters chicken wings.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Yeah. Last night, Uh, we brought in some wings. Stop
the winger to stop. Yeah, it wasn't bad. It wasn't bad.
But you know, here's the thing. Anytime I want chicken wings,
I can't just drive from Bullet County all the way
to Lexington. You know, an hour and a half. They're
an hour and a half back.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
That's true. You got to make do with what you got.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Yeah. Yeah, I don't have a chos Barr and Grill
in Louisville. That can just conveniently drive myself too.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
So I think Matt's made many of trips to roosters
in the past. Yeah, you're looking for a good chicken wing.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Uh, Buffalo Wild wings. I think one our restaurant bracket
at one point they got good wings. Uh, so there
you go. Maybe you've got some good chicken wings. You'd
like to tell you.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
What's the most common thing that you've never eaten. I
don't know that I even have one.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah, it's I don't know. I mean, that's a great question.
I'm trying to wrap my brain. It's not like I
haven't had a cheeseburger before or a hot dog.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
You know.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Banana croquette was something that I hadn't had in a while.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Common around here, Probably not common for you, though.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
My friend Shinn and tea Dude brought in some.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Did you not It was fantastic? Oh you did have it,
that's right, you know it's good. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
I had to think about that. Maybe I'll get back
to you on the most common food that you've never
eaten five o two two six five six six fives.
I do want to tell you that you might as
well call me Mike Rowe, because I could do an
episode of Dirty Jobs.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
You think you could?

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Oh yeah, I mean after I changed and cleaned my
sink yesterday. I mean you might as well have just
filmed that and made it an episode of Dirty Jobs. Shan.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Do you find it all kinds of gunk in there?

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Oh my god? I feel like a year ago. I
did the kitchen sink, and that that didn't have a
ton It had just kind of like some food remnants.
But I did the bathroom sink yesterday, Shannon, And I'm
just talking like black sludge. How does that even happen
over time? Like the vomit had mixed.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
With like I'll stop years right there, no.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Spit like it was. I mean it must have been
like I hadn't cleaned that sink since I moved in,
so I'm talking three four years of it.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
But here's the thing, you rent, right, Yeah, you have
a landlord that should come over and clean out that.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
I'm not calling my landlord for every little thing though,
Like if a window toilet, I can uncle the toilet myself.
I don't want to sit around for a handyman to
do that. I don't know. That's the man in me.
Shan in that I can.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Wow. I'm still waiting to see that.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
It's the man in me, Shan it's you know, it's
taking care of the backyard. I did have somebody come
up to me and say, can I mow your lawn
for thirty five dollars? It's looking pretty rough, And you know,
that's kind of similar to me walking into the Iheartbuilding
and my salespeople saying, Billy, you're looking rough this morning,
looking a little rough.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Well, the other thing is too You said you had
to take care of your lawn. Does the landlord not
take care of that? No, so you rent, you have
to take care of your own lawn, your own plumbing.
What exactly does the landlord do for you?

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Well, they did replace the entire AC unit when CAC
went out, and I thought they were going to raise
my rent when they did that, and they never did, so, like,
I'm afraid to talk to them because I'm afraid they're
going to raise my rent because they never did during
twenty twenty either.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
So what's a good landlord? Then?

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Yeah, that's good people. But are you telling me you're
calling somebody when your toilet's clogged?

Speaker 2 (32:03):
If I'm renting, Yes, yeah, if I'm renting from.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
You, I think that's the weakest thing you've ever said
on the preow three years into this. No, you can't
unclog your own toilet.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Well, I mean I could, But I'm renting from you.
This is your problem. This is your house. This is
not my house. At my house, I'm doing it. I
don't rent. I've never rented. I've always owned. But when
I when I, uh, maybe go on vacation or something,
I'm renting. You're telling me on your vacation you're going
to spend the time cleaning out the sink because it's clogged.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
No. No, because I'm only there for a week.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Okay, you're still renting though, Yeah, true, true, I just
that's my point, Like, it's not your house.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
I am auditioning for when I own a house, one Jason,
I will know how to mow the lawn and to
clean this.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
IM just trying to impress your fiance for when I buy.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yeah, exactly, I try. I try. It doesn't work very often, though.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
If I'm nine two two two eight seven is our
phone lines, I guess we'll take a call. I mean,
might as well. We've been rambling for long enough who's
up next Yearnon?

Speaker 2 (33:05):
It says here, I didn't get the chance to talk
to him. It says forty. Is that your name? Forty?

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Forty?

Speaker 4 (33:10):
Yeah, what's up, lady? Go out?

Speaker 2 (33:12):

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Hey, buddy?

Speaker 3 (33:14):
All right?

Speaker 5 (33:14):
Man Channing.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
He's talking about Jay Lawler in the first segment. Brought
back some memory.

Speaker 5 (33:18):
You remember when he had a heart attack live on
air like that?

Speaker 2 (33:21):
I don't remember. Yeah, they got died on the air,
on the air. He died on the air like legit resuscitated. Yes, yeah,
it was back in like twenty eleven, I think maybe twelve.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
Yeah, something like a yeah as wow.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
Anyway, My second thing I heard, you're talking about chicken wings, chaos,
bark grill.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
They got some pretty good, pretty good you know you
break it up on yeah that say that again, forty.
What did you say about chicken wings?

Speaker 4 (33:48):
I said, Chas Barriell has got some good wings. Ain't
nobody gonna beat Buffalo Wild wings. Appreciate the can.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Get out of here with that nonsense. What are you
talking about? Our wings are better than we had the
best wings in les. Maybe in the state of Kentucky, Billy,
maybe in the entire state.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Buffalo Wild wings please. I mean, I know, Shannon, you
don't like ruining sponsorship opportunities on the air, but I'll
just do it now. Not good wings, not good, but
anyway A five nine two A two two eight seven
tomorrow Hamblin also somebody that we saw die in front
of us, just like Cherry and all Or and then
having to be resuscitated. That was such a scary moment.
I mean, they canceled the game after that if you remember.

(34:25):
Uh So, it's just great to see the guy even playing,
you know, so it's a it's great to see that
as well. With Jerry Lawler. Let's take a break though
eight five nine two A two too eight seven. We
will come back in our final segment before we hand
it off to KSR on this Thursday edition of the
Kasarre Show. The Perfect spring break song Little Zach Brown Band,
Little Chicken Fried.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
As we talk chicken wings here on the KSR pre
Show eight five nine two A oh two two eight seven,
we'll get to a couple calls here in our last segment.
I've also got a couple of texts about some topics
that we've been talking about. Before we get to that. Shannon,
you've got a book recommendation.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yeah, you heard me talk about this. It is I
Am Hope, Growing Up with an Addict by Stephen Hope,
who is from right here in Kentucky, from Henderson County,
Kentucky more specifically, and he shares his journey growing up
with an addict and it's meant. He shared this as
a way to help out others who were dealing with
a similar situation. He wanted to share how it affected

(35:21):
his life, his experience, how you can help prepare others
for what's ahead and what you can expect moving forward,
how he felt in certain moments. It's a good read.
You should check it out I Am Hope. It's available
in Apple Books also on Amazon as well. If addiction
has touched your life, this book can help and you
should check it out I Am Hope. It also comes

(35:43):
with an audiobook as well with bonus material from Stephen Hope.
And again it's on Apple and on Amazon. Give it
a read if you would.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
A couple of items food items that people have not eaten.
On the text line, people have said beats are something
that they've never had.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
That's a good one. Actually, you know what, I don't
think I've ever had beats.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
That person of the color looks too strange to me.
I'm with you. I'm not on Dwight's farm, so I
haven't had a beat ever. One person says lobster is
another common thing they haven't ate because of the price.
I think a lobster lobster is a little overrated. If
you ask me, sh I agree with you.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yeah, we had some lobster. Was it well? I guess
with the DraftKings folks. And you can get it cold,
you can get it hot. The guy that was, you know,
the server, said get it cold. Of course I've said no,
give it to me warm, and it wasn't bad and
warm because I've had it cold before. I don't like
cold lobster. A warm lobster with butter, I.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
Like that now.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
I've had some good lobster rolls when I went to
the main area in New Hampshire. But if you're just
adding lobster to a steak, sometimes it doesn't hit as
well as it should. I think my one item I
thought of that I haven't had is like steak tar
tar You ever have raw steak or anything like that?

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Yeah, I don't want raw steak.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Oh yeah, they just eat raw steak. I've never had
that because I thought I would fight eight raw steak.
But I think that's something our ancestor did, did much
more than we did.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
No, I'm not eating anything like that. Role it's the
man in me.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Maybe another T shirt for Kentucky branded. We will see.
Let's go to the phone, Shannon. Who's up next?

Speaker 2 (37:14):
Cameron?

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Cameron, what's up?

Speaker 5 (37:17):
I was thinking about foods and I used to be
super picky growing up. So I went through like a
renaissance when I was eighteen, like going into college, and
I had like tacos for the first time and cast
a roll in a bunch of stuff that I'd never
had before, and it changed my life. I'm a better
man for it. But now I still haven't had the
cranberry stuff that they serve a Thanksgiving, like the slice

(37:39):
c I don't know what it is, but I don't
think I ever will.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Cranberry sauce, right, yep, yeah, okay, yep. You know that's
something I hadn't had until recently. But it's actually pretty
good once it's good.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
But no tacos for the first eighteen years of your life.

Speaker 4 (37:53):
Yeah, I was scared.

Speaker 5 (37:54):
We used to go to taco bell like after basketball
games and stuff, and I was like, no, I'm good,
I'll pass. And then only one day I was like,
all right, guys, I'll try it. And then it was
like that movie and right at twy when the colors
start dancing in.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
His brain, that was me.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Yeah, tacos could change your life. Yeah, tacos. Thanks for
the call. Camera. I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
Man. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Thanks, Wow, No tacos, no cast roles.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
That sounds like punishment.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Yeah, what were your parents doing? Son? Get you a
cast roll in you?

Speaker 2 (38:24):
I don't go without a taco.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
We got some more people on the line.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
Let's go to Matt.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Hey, Matt, what's up?

Speaker 3 (38:31):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 4 (38:31):
Guys?

Speaker 3 (38:31):
It's not even ten am and I'm ready for lunch.
All this food talk, the Chicka Wing conversation. You guys
mentioned roosters. You guys shouted out wingstop. I'm here to
tell you in Lexington if you haven't been Gray Line
Station wing King, Oh my goodness, great call. It's Wings.
I think I've ever had. It's a great, great spot.
So uh yeah, add that to your list if you

(38:53):

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Yeah, thank you. It's right next to bespoken Spirits. We've
did a couple of remotes there. I actually went and
had some at that Wing place recently, very very good.
So Shannon, that's where we'll be going next time you're
up in lex I think, no.

Speaker 3 (39:07):
No, no.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
I look, I'm loyal to my own restaurant and there
every single time I do because I'm not in Lexington
that often. So when I am, I feel like I
need to go to the bar. Company Man, can company Man,
I'm part owner.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
I know that's what I'm saying. Company Man.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
Of course, if you owned something what, you want to eat.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
It every day? If you had every time I'm around it.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
If you had Billy R. Wings, wouldn't you want to
eat at Billy R Wings? When you come to it?

Speaker 1 (39:31):
You drink Sannon the Dude Brew for the rest of
your life every single time you drink.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Yes, good as.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
To count.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
It's the third best brown l on the untapped app.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
That's right, I am.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Why would I drink anything else?

Speaker 1 (39:45):
Anybody else on the phone?

Speaker 2 (39:46):
I want to make sure we get to all these
We got somebody calling in, but we don't have a producer,
so let me just try to produce this.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Right now, lazy Shannon, Yeah, fix the liners. He can't
host a show and take calls at the same time.
So I'm going to tap dance a little bit, and
I got you here here, bubb what's up, Bubba, Buba?
What's up?

Speaker 4 (40:02):
Hey? You guys are talking about food? Uh with my family.
It's kind of an old country tradition. Have you guys
ever had banana croquette We just.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Talked about that.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Yes, I've had that, well, I mean since I was
a kid. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:19):
Yeah, get them bananas and roll them in the mayonnaise
and the peanut and the peanuts.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
That is a uh.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
And and another family tradition. You ever had baked oysters?

Speaker 2 (40:30):
