Speaker 1: How come everybody.
Speaker 2: It is the KSR pre Show Wednesday, May fourteenth. I'm
Speaker 2: Shannon the Dude to be enjoined by Billy Rutledge, and
Speaker 2: we want to hear from you. Give us a call
Speaker 2: on the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line at eight five
Speaker 2: nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. You can
Speaker 2: be our Whiskey Thief Call of the day and you
Speaker 2: can also send us a text if you can't call.
Speaker 1: That's five oo two two six five six six five six.
Speaker 2: The KSR pre Show is being brought to you by
Speaker 2: Italics Fine Italian Donning in Lexington. That is where Billy
Speaker 2: our Sports is right now. I'm over in Louisville at
Speaker 2: the four Street Live Studio.
Speaker 1: How are you doing this morning, Billy?
Speaker 3: I'm great, dude. It's good to see you. Good to
Speaker 3: see you with a smile on your face. We got
Speaker 3: a producer this morning, so you're in a different studio.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm smiling.
Speaker 4: You're chipper.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got we got Liam over there. I asked us, like, man,
Speaker 2: can you come in every day? Makes my life so
Speaker 2: much easier because I'm like, I like it. I need
Speaker 2: like six more hands. Normally when I'm in there like
Speaker 2: an octopus trying to figure out like how to produce
Speaker 2: the show and host the show at the same time.
Speaker 1: But yeah, everything's good, man. How are things in Lexington?
Speaker 3: They're good, They're good. You know, I didn't do it yesterday.
Speaker 3: I may have to do it today. I may have
Speaker 3: to go over to Chaos Bar and grill and get
Speaker 3: some of that catfish that was so good that Ryan
Speaker 3: was using a fork to eat out of his hand yesterday.
Speaker 3: It did look incredible. They said they got some new
Speaker 3: catfish in so that may be on my agenda to
Speaker 3: try today, Shannon.
Speaker 4: Something always new with Ryan, don't you, isn't it?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: Look, I think people were saying we were being a
Speaker 2: little tough on them. I've just never seen anybody use
Speaker 2: a fork and eat food out of their hand, like
Speaker 2: out of the palm of their hand. Now, he was saying, Matt,
Speaker 2: I guess you know. I see Matt do tho all
Speaker 2: the time. He'll just go in with his hand and
Speaker 2: just rip off a piece of fish and you know,
Speaker 2: throw it, throw it in his gullet and down it goes.
Speaker 2: But I don't know, I've just never seen anybody use
Speaker 2: that technique of eating. I don't guess there's a wrong
Speaker 2: way to do it. But if you're trying to be
Speaker 2: sanitary and not use your hand, eating out of the
Speaker 2: other hand, I don't think makes it any better. It's
Speaker 2: just an interesting screenshot that we got there from Mario's post.
Speaker 4: No, it was it was great. It was great content.
Speaker 1: Mario.
Speaker 3: You're posting the right videos. I don't think I've ever
Speaker 3: seen a video like that. But I like Ryan got
Speaker 3: a little defensive. Did you hear it in his voice
Speaker 3: a little bit? I mean he was, he was a
Speaker 3: little fed up with that.
Speaker 1: You know, we do give him a hard time. Usually
Speaker 1: it's deserved.
Speaker 2: But you know, somebody said, Ryan's going to go off
Speaker 2: on you guys one of these days and say enough's enough.
Speaker 4: Hell, I'm going to go off on you guys one
Speaker 4: of these days. Oh you are little brothers.
Speaker 1: You get picked on too much.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm gonna have my breaking point. Janne.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing for anybody that says like we're too
Speaker 2: tough on Ryan or we're too tough on Billy, it's
Speaker 2: it's all out of love, right, It's all out of fun.
Speaker 2: This is a show. We poke fun at each other.
Speaker 2: I make fun of you, You make fun of me.
Speaker 2: That's how it works. We make fun of Matt, he
Speaker 2: makes fun of us. It's all a part of the show.
Speaker 2: It's all good. Don't like, we don't need people coming
Speaker 2: to bat for anybody, because I feel like the fans
Speaker 2: try to interject and like, oh, you guys are being
Speaker 2: too tough on him, Like you know how tough I
Speaker 2: had it my first day. Here we go, all right,
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear any sympathy for anybody on
Speaker 2: this show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure you went through it as well, maybe
Speaker 3: some other initiation things. But you know, Ryan and I
Speaker 3: were voted I guess least trustworthy to host KSR while
Speaker 3: we've been drinking, that's true. Yeah, would you put me
Speaker 3: on the bottom of that list too? Shannon todostability can't
Speaker 3: handle himself on the air.
Speaker 2: Well, we didn't specify how many drinks. I think it
Speaker 2: was just while drunk. Yeah, was the question like, which
Speaker 2: of the KSR members would you trust in order the
Speaker 2: most to the least if they were drunk. So that's
Speaker 2: a different number, you know. For Drew it's about fifteen beers.
Speaker 2: For Billy it's too.
Speaker 1: Mimosas So it all depends.
Speaker 2: It's a sliding scale, okay that we're talking about here
Speaker 2: when it comes to being drunk. But you know, I
Speaker 2: would just say that for me, somebody who has experience
Speaker 2: in doing live radio at music fests, I would never
Speaker 2: to being drunk on the air ever, O never, not
Speaker 2: saying it ever happened. But allegedly people have brought brought
Speaker 2: by you know, like you're a Bourbon and Beyond fest.
Speaker 1: Why don't you try some bourbon?
Speaker 2: And I'm going, well, I'm on the air right now,
Speaker 2: I can't hear in theory. I'm just saying in theory,
Speaker 2: I could hold my alcohol. I've got some stories I
Speaker 2: could probably tell you, Billy off the air that I
Speaker 2: won't tell on the air, But no, I think that
Speaker 2: I would.
Speaker 1: Be right there at the top.
Speaker 3: So you come from a different time, I mean, rock Jah,
Speaker 3: Like we talked about initiations, like you've you've been through
Speaker 3: this a little bit. I took a drink of bourbon
Speaker 3: coffee at one of our Whiskey Thief's remotes and by
Speaker 3: the last segment chain and I definitely was feelished.
Speaker 1: So maybe I could tell the bo you were talking gibberish.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that was one of the first times
Speaker 3: that we went to Whiskey Thief and excited to go back,
Speaker 3: whether that be.
Speaker 4: Their Louisville location or the one outside.
Speaker 1: Frank, could I tell you what I did yesterday?
Speaker 4: Please? Yeah, what'd you get up to?
Speaker 2: I decided that I'm going to dabble in farming a
Speaker 2: little bit.
Speaker 1: Now. I'll say farming.
Speaker 2: Very very very very loosely. Okay, I mean like planting
Speaker 2: a couple of plants. Farming gardening then right, well, okay,
Speaker 2: gardening whatever, farming, gardening.
Speaker 1: I like this.
Speaker 2: I like to think I'm a farmer now because I
Speaker 2: got like a my land, like what okay, Like my
Speaker 2: house was my old uh my grandparents' house, right, So
Speaker 2: when I was a kid, a good chunk of their
Speaker 2: backyard was garden.
Speaker 1: Like it was all just tilled up, and they had
Speaker 1: a nice garden.
Speaker 2: They had like everything you can imagine, green beans, tomatoes, potatoes, squash.
Speaker 1: It was all there, right.
Speaker 2: But then over time, like when they got older and
Speaker 2: when they passed away, all that area kind of grew
Speaker 2: into grass. But my neighbor to the left side of
Speaker 2: me continued to have his garden, so that part of
Speaker 2: his garden kind of extends over to my property for
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe a good let's call it thirty feet. Okay,
Speaker 2: so part of my backyard is tilled up for a garden. Okay,
Speaker 2: so I decided I'm going to plan something there. He's
Speaker 2: got his garden over here. I'm going to plant something.
Speaker 2: So what I do. I go out and I buy
Speaker 2: some pumpkin seeds because I decide, how fun would it
Speaker 2: be when October rolls around, I'm going to have a
Speaker 2: backyard of pumpkins. So yesterday Billy got out, I got
Speaker 2: out in the garden. I planted some pumpkins. Farmer, dude,
Speaker 2: planet some pumpkins. I have no idea if these things
Speaker 2: are going to work. I don't even know really what
Speaker 2: I'm doing. I just got on a YouTube video and said, okay,
Speaker 2: how do you plant pumpkin seeds?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: When do you plan them? So somebody listening right now.
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's gardeners and farmers that are listening right
Speaker 2: now that are probably going to tell me you're doing
Speaker 2: it all wrong, you planted them too early. But I'm
Speaker 2: just trying to time this out, Billy, to where I
Speaker 2: could possibly have some pumpkins.
Speaker 1: And you know what, here's the thing. I might have
Speaker 1: a pumpkin.
Speaker 2: I can give everybody a KSR if they turn out,
Speaker 2: you know, if they don't rot, if they actually come
Speaker 2: up from the ground.
Speaker 4: So his pumpkin patch.
Speaker 2: Have you ever experimented with as you're calling it, gardening
Speaker 2: before and try to grow like an actual plant.
Speaker 3: Well, I've done a different type of gardening now and then, Shannon,
Speaker 3: But my parents also had their own gardens, so I
Speaker 3: am no stranger to what it takes to grow plants. Now,
Speaker 3: you said the ground was already I guess plowed or tilled,
Speaker 3: told extended from the other yards.
Speaker 2: He would be my first question. He took some liberties
Speaker 2: and went over on my side of the property. So
Speaker 2: I'm going, well, since it's already, you know, it's already
Speaker 2: ready to go, let's just throw a couple of plants
Speaker 2: down and see what happens here.
Speaker 4: There's no fence.
Speaker 2: There, no, no, there's my neighbors in this neighborhood. I
Speaker 2: have known since I was a child, all right, So
Speaker 2: I've known these people my entire life, so it's all good.
Speaker 2: It's not like there's any kind of neighbor neighborly rivalry
Speaker 2: going on here, So.
Speaker 4: Now, was this the guy winning all the money or.
Speaker 1: Yeah that had Yeah, No, no, this was the guy
Speaker 1: that was winning all the money.
Speaker 4: All right, all right, I love this guy.
Speaker 3: He's just walking across the yard and cleaning out your
Speaker 3: other neighbors.
Speaker 2: He's also the guy you might remember from last summer.
Speaker 2: I asked you about why my neighbor was hanging a
Speaker 2: towel on his car mirror. Winshield, Yeah, the side mirror.
Speaker 1: Same neighbor. He's an interesting guy.
Speaker 4: He is, but he knows he's been a topic on
Speaker 4: this show multiple times.
Speaker 1: He does not listen.
Speaker 2: Like I said, none of my friends, none of the
Speaker 2: people that I know outside of this radio world, ever
Speaker 2: listen to anything that I do. They're so unimpressed that
Speaker 2: I have a radio show.
Speaker 1: They don't care. They don't even listen. They don't even
Speaker 1: support me.
Speaker 3: Well that's good sometimes because then you can talk to
Speaker 3: them about things that aren't in your work life. But
Speaker 3: I got a couple questions for farmer dude. Okay, so
Speaker 3: you went to the store and picked up some pumpkin seeds.
Speaker 1: Wrong?
Speaker 4: No, wrong, Okay, where'd I go wrong?
Speaker 2: I went to Amazon dot Com ad them delivered to
Speaker 2: my house.
Speaker 3: Okay, giant pumpkin seeds. Giant pumpkin seeds. That's like this
Speaker 3: really is like Charlie Brown. We're trying to find the
Speaker 3: great Pumpkin's right. So it says on the back one
Speaker 3: hundred pounds.
Speaker 2: I'm going to assume that means each pumpkin will not
Speaker 2: be one hundred pounds. I assume that means like if
Speaker 2: you were to take all the pumpkins that are going
Speaker 2: to be bloomed and blossomed off these plants, it would
Speaker 2: equal one hundred pounds.
Speaker 1: That's my assumption here.
Speaker 2: I don't think that I'm growing pumpkins that are one
Speaker 2: hundred pounds each. Otherwise we're gonna need a bigger boat.
Speaker 1: Any more room.
Speaker 3: Well, will help you get that thing to the exposition
Speaker 3: center for the State Fair. Yeah, ribbon on that exactly,
Speaker 3: But only pumpkin, right, nothing else, just seeds.
Speaker 2: Four hills of pumpkins, Billy, you got a plant them
Speaker 2: on a hill. Wow, I'm gonna teach you something about.
Speaker 3: Guarding bywater farms here in Shannon in the dude's backyard.
Speaker 1: Going to be in October, that's right.
Speaker 3: I'm excited, So, like, you know, are you gonna get
Speaker 3: out and water it or are you just gonna let
Speaker 3: mother nature do its thing?
Speaker 4: I mean, how you gonna maintain your garden here?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean that, Yeah, there's rain, ring comes down,
Speaker 2: it's it's it's watery and and against the h the germination,
Speaker 2: see you like an expert. Yeah, there's a germination period
Speaker 2: which is one hundred days, which I don't entirely know
Speaker 2: what germination means. I believe that means from the time
Speaker 2: you plant the seed until you get blooms on your plant.
Speaker 1: I think that's right. I'm learning as we go.
Speaker 2: When we'll go to the text line, correct, We'll go
Speaker 2: to the We'll go to Twitter, we'll go to the
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's going to be experts out there on
Speaker 2: how to grow pumpkins, when to you know, when to
Speaker 2: do everything, when to water them. But I'm I'm learning
Speaker 2: as we go. This may turn out to be a
Speaker 2: complete bust. But I thought that you know, every uh,
Speaker 2: I don't know. A couple of weeks, I could give
Speaker 2: you a pumpkin update on the show.
Speaker 3: Oh, I would love pumpkin updates on the pesticides and
Speaker 3: the you know, maybe some deer come around and start
Speaker 3: eating some of your.
Speaker 4: Baby Oh no, Shannon, how are.
Speaker 3: We going to get rid of deer from eating out
Speaker 3: of Shannon the Dude's garden. Yeah, that'll be a topic
Speaker 3: this summer. Well, I'm excited. Maybe make you can make
Speaker 3: us a little pumpkin pie.
Speaker 2: No, no, look, here's the thing. I already did my
Speaker 2: part at this point. A planet, the seeds, Mother Nature's
Speaker 2: gonna do her thing. And then like, if you want
Speaker 2: a pumpkin, you have to come over and pick it
Speaker 2: from the patch.
Speaker 1: I can't do everything for you.
Speaker 3: That might be my favorite part of this story is
Speaker 3: Shannon's done. He's planting the seeds. His job is done.
Speaker 3: Now Mother Nature will take over and we can come
Speaker 3: get the pumpkins if we want them.
Speaker 4: But Shannon has done his part.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: So looking forward to seeing what happens, or more than likely,
Speaker 2: what does doesn't happen in this whole thing.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: So the big story I think yesterday came from Mark Pope,
Speaker 2: who sat down with the media. He talked for over
Speaker 2: thirty minutes. He touched on a variety of topics. He
Speaker 2: talked about Travis Perry. That was one of the things
Speaker 2: that Matt actually mentioned on the show yesterday. You know,
Speaker 2: we haven't really heard anything from either side about Travis
Speaker 2: Perry transferring Billy and Pope.
Speaker 1: Used the word devastated.
Speaker 2: He said he was devastated to learn that Travis Perry
Speaker 2: wanted to transfer, and he said that he was well
Speaker 2: on his way to becoming a legend at Kentucky. You know,
Speaker 2: after hearing those words, it's like, man, I wish we
Speaker 2: could have hung on to him for the rest of
Speaker 2: his college career. But I get it, man, we live
Speaker 2: in a different world with a transfer portal. It's very
Speaker 2: tempting for a guy like Travis Perry, who maybe the
Speaker 2: twelfth or thirteenth man on the team, to not go
Speaker 2: to another school where he can double or maybe even
Speaker 2: triple his money. So it's it's a tough situation for
Speaker 2: guys like that who aren't guaranteed playing time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was one of the quotes that stuck out
Speaker 3: to me. He was well on his way to becoming
Speaker 3: a Kentucky legend. So that obviously means Mark Pope thought
Speaker 3: highly of the guy, and it also had some plans
Speaker 3: for him, whether that be how much he was going
Speaker 3: to play this year or in the coming years. And
Speaker 3: you're right, the climate of college sports today is that
Speaker 3: if you're not playing a lot of times, there's going
Speaker 3: to be another place that can offer you that playing
Speaker 3: time and also a little nil.
Speaker 4: Money to go along with it.
Speaker 3: So I don't fault Travis Perry's decision, but to hear
Speaker 3: the anguish in Mark Pope's voice about Travis, you could
Speaker 3: tell it meant something to him, and that's refreshing to hear.
Speaker 3: Not that coaches don't care about when a player gets away,
Speaker 3: but you could tell Mark really does care for his guys.
Speaker 3: And just another point to why Pope has worked so
Speaker 3: well at this university is that it just bleeds through them, right.
Speaker 3: You can tell in that thirty minute press conference how
Speaker 3: much the university means to him and how much guys
Speaker 3: like TP means to him, And they really built a
Speaker 3: good relation relationship. And in a press conference that, you know,
Speaker 3: he talked so much about the jump that second year
Speaker 3: guys will make in this system.
Speaker 4: You know, I think he obviously thought the same about Travis.
Speaker 2: Now you at to find yourself a new partner to
Speaker 2: do your your coffee commercial with you.
Speaker 3: You know, I mean, is his funky rooster endorsement void
Speaker 3: now that he's gone?
Speaker 1: I would think so contract. I mean, we can get
Speaker 1: Trent Noah maybe over there with you.
Speaker 3: Sure he drinks coffee, Yeah, he's And Pope was excited
Speaker 3: about Trent Noah too, talking about him gaining eight gonna
Speaker 3: going to gain eighteen pounds and writing a special story.
Speaker 3: I can't help, but maybe check Mark every time I
Speaker 3: hear the word beautiful and of Mark Pope press conference
Speaker 3: now because.
Speaker 1: Thinking of a drink and take a shot.
Speaker 2: Every time you hear the word beautiful, Billy, do you
Speaker 2: think if I said between now and November. I'm not
Speaker 2: saying that I'm challenging you to do this, I'm just
Speaker 2: saying in theory. Do you think if I said between
Speaker 2: now and basketball season in November, I need you to
Speaker 2: gain eighteen pounds and not eighteen pounds of fat. We're talking,
Speaker 2: you know, eighteen pounds of some mostly muscle. Do you
Speaker 2: think you could pull that off? I mean, were so
Speaker 2: we got We're midway through May, so you got the
Speaker 2: rest of May, June, July, August, September, October.
Speaker 1: We're looking at what six months?
Speaker 4: Wow?
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, probably just because I'm I'm that type
Speaker 3: of guy, Shannon, I mean, I put my mind to
Speaker 3: something I can do it. But like, here's the difference
Speaker 3: between me and Trent Noah is the nutrition right. I mean,
Speaker 3: he's got a whole team. I mean, he's got a
Speaker 3: university back nutritionists that's going to tell him when to eat,
Speaker 3: what to eat, and how many calories to get.
Speaker 4: Shannon, I'm just kind of throwing it together. You know.
Speaker 4: I got a granola bar. I might eat a little
Speaker 4: later today.
Speaker 1: Maybe a Stell twinkie from the covid Era.
Speaker 4: Stale twinkie and ho hose here, And I mean.
Speaker 2: That's gonna put some weight on you, but not the
Speaker 2: kind of weight we need for you to be out
Speaker 2: there and be our basketball player.
Speaker 3: About twenty pounds though in a few months is tough, though, Shannon,
Speaker 3: that's gonna be a lot of Mose burritos or you know,
Speaker 3: just trying to cheat your way into five thousand calories today.
Speaker 3: You remember I did the Damien Collins challenge when he
Speaker 3: was eating five thousand calories today, and I did that
Speaker 3: and I about killed myself. I had to eat nothing
Speaker 3: but like thin mints to the final hour and a
Speaker 3: half of the day, just because it was a cheap
Speaker 3: way to get those calories. Also put in olive oil
Speaker 3: on a lot of different things can help you get
Speaker 3: to that, But I do not envy having to be
Speaker 3: in that position.
Speaker 4: Shannon, what about you? You think you could put on the pounds?
Speaker 2: Probably not even Like, well, the big difference is though
Speaker 2: you're a little closer to Trent Noah's age than I am.
Speaker 4: All right, sure, yeah.
Speaker 1: But I will say, well, you know what, your metabolism slower.
Speaker 4: That might be easy.
Speaker 2: That's true that that is a good point. That is
Speaker 2: a good point, But I don't know that it would
Speaker 2: be the right kind of weight. Like I could probably
Speaker 2: put on, like, you know, drink a bunch of beer
Speaker 2: and get eighteen pounds of a beer belly going here,
Speaker 2: But I don't know that it would be productive weight.
Speaker 3: Well, Trent, nowa's got to gain eighteen pounds and then
Speaker 3: still run sprints.
Speaker 1: At practice, right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: Like it's like you said, it's got to be a
Speaker 3: healthy muscle weight. You know, we could just put on
Speaker 3: the beer belly and get to that eighteen pounds, maybe
Speaker 3: even a little quicker than that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if Trent, if Trent comes back with a beer belly,
Speaker 2: I think we're all in trouble.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't that be Great Aunt Mamba, Sweet Mountain Angel. Baby's
Speaker 4: got a beer gut on the sideline. He just can't
Speaker 4: stop hitting threes.
Speaker 1: Well, Luca's got a beer gut and he's thriving. That's
Speaker 1: right in the NBA, though, really that's true. Eight five
Speaker 1: nine twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 2: I got more than I want to talk about, including
Speaker 2: the end of the Mark Pope press conference yesterday. I
Speaker 2: got to play this clip for you because it's great.
Speaker 2: But we're we're running a little late on this first break,
Speaker 2: so let's go ahead and hit that now. We'll take
Speaker 2: your phone calls. Coming up next. Eight five nine two
Speaker 2: eighth twenty two eighty seven. It is Billy Rutledgion Farmer
Speaker 2: dude here with you on the KSR pre Show. All right,
Speaker 2: welcome back. It is the KSR pre Show. Eight five
Speaker 2: nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Billy, I
Speaker 2: am a little concerned about my pumpkin planting after getting
Speaker 2: some feedback from listeners. Yeah me tooluding, including our good
Speaker 2: friend Richie Farmer. I mean it's it's in the name Farmer.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: He says these pumpkins are gonna be one hundred pun each.
Speaker 2: I misinterpreted it when it said one hundred pounds, I
Speaker 2: thought it mad like one hundred pounds together, Like at
Speaker 2: the end of harvest. I take all these pumpkins and
Speaker 2: I put them on a scale, it's gonna be about
Speaker 2: one hundred pounds. I didn't realize I was planning pumpkins
Speaker 2: that are going to be one hundred pounds each.
Speaker 1: And that's yeah, that's gonna be a real problem.
Speaker 4: And how many rows did you say of these seeds
Speaker 4: that you plan in like four four hills?
Speaker 2: It says you're supposed to plant four to six seeds
Speaker 2: per hill. At twenty four seeds. Oh my god, my
Speaker 2: backyard is going to turn into a pumpkin padch Oh my.
Speaker 4: Gosh, I can't wait.
Speaker 2: I can wait.
Speaker 3: You know this is perfect case our faction, that these
Speaker 3: are actually one hundred pound pumpkins that you're growing.
Speaker 1: Should I dig them up now before it's too late? No?
Speaker 3: No, No, You've done your job, Shannon, as you've said,
Speaker 3: you kick back and relax and you just let mother
Speaker 3: nature do the rest.
Speaker 2: Randolph says that according to Google AI, I'm doing it wrong.
Speaker 2: You're supposed to have five hundred square feet for each
Speaker 2: one hundred pounds pumpkin.
Speaker 3: Five hundred square feet for each pumpkin, and you're saying
Speaker 3: you put six seeds in each hill. Yeah, and you
Speaker 3: only got about thirty feet of garden here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, all.
Speaker 2: Right, well, hey, you know what, Hey, hey, hey, You're
Speaker 2: gonna die when I have my pumpkins and all you
Speaker 2: are out there who are critics. I'm not gonna give
Speaker 2: you any of my pumpkins. You've got to go buy
Speaker 2: your own pumpkins. And pumpkins, by the way, are not cheap.
Speaker 2: These things are like you ever go to like Cubers
Speaker 2: and buy a pumpkin. Yeah, it's like twenty dollars a
Speaker 2: pumpkin and they're not one hundred pounds either.
Speaker 3: You're gonna move that pumpkin and carve it and take
Speaker 3: it into the living room.
Speaker 4: You're not doing anything with one hundred pounds pumpkins.
Speaker 2: You wait, I'm gonna have the biggest I'm have a
Speaker 2: pumpkin piefest in my neighborhood. It's gonna be awesome, and
Speaker 2: you're not gonna be invited. I'm also a little concerned
Speaker 2: about dogs and animals eating these pumpkins. Somebody else has
Speaker 2: sent a screenshot that says this. I guess, Uh pumpkin
Speaker 2: patch was invaded by a pack of dogs, and I
Speaker 2: guess they ate all the pumpkins. Am I gonna be
Speaker 2: out there guarding my garden, guarding the garden at all
Speaker 2: hours of the night so that they don't eat my pumpkins.
Speaker 4: Oh it's a thing.
Speaker 3: But you know, I never saw the dogs or cats
Speaker 3: come out and get the guard and it was usually
Speaker 3: like raccoons or possums or moles. Look at that that
Speaker 3: dog isn't is in the garden. The dog is eating pumpkins.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but you are gonna run into some
Speaker 3: wildlife issues, whether it be some deer that come along
Speaker 3: and think that's their next meal. Yeah, you're gonna you're
Speaker 3: gonna have to get the crossbow out or something.

Speaker 2: didn't believe them. I mean I looked on Amazon. I
Speaker 2: looked at you know, you go to the reviews and
Speaker 2: you look at the pictures. I didn't see then one
Speaker 2: hundred pounds pumpkins on there. They looked like they were
Speaker 2: about five pounds at best.
Speaker 3: So, like it said, giant pumpkins seeds giant pumpkin seeds.
Speaker 3: You were just like, Oh, it'll be spread out. I
Speaker 3: just thought the seeds were big. I know the pumpkins

Speaker 2: I want to play this clip for you right now.
Speaker 1: At the end, nobody.
Speaker 2: Had asked after thirty minutes about the Kentucky Saint John's game,
Speaker 2: And here's what Mark Pope had to say.
Speaker 1: All right, guys, well never mind that was the end.
Speaker 1: Let's draw that again.
Speaker 5: Here's place and if we do our go on this
Speaker 5: court and with this fan base in a really intimate way,
Speaker 5: and it should be theirs forever. The thing that would
Speaker 5: make me most sad in the world is if there
Speaker 5: was ever a former player or former coach that didn't
Speaker 5: feel like they were welcomed here.
Speaker 1: This okay, this is the tell end of another question,
Speaker 1: but we'll get to it here.
Speaker 5: It's really special. It should be all right.
Speaker 1: Here we go.
Speaker 5: TBT. There's a couple of things I'm supposed to say.
Speaker 1: Can we do this?
Speaker 5: I was supposed to say sending CBS. First of all,
Speaker 5: nobody asked about Saint John's Is this possible?
Speaker 1: I'm excited.
Speaker 5: You guys aren't excited about this. Thank you?
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 5: Uh man. I've been working hard on this game, and
Speaker 5: I'm so grateful to CBS. I'm grateful to U.
Speaker 6: C l A.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're up against the breaker. I time this out poorly.
Speaker 1: That's on me.
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in just a minute. You have
Speaker 2: to hear a little bit of bark pope there. That's
Speaker 2: the tease. I'll get to what I wanted to play
Speaker 2: coming up after the break.
Speaker 4: He's excited.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: Eight twenty two eighty seven. I'll teed that up wrong.
Speaker 2: It's a live radio, man, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: We'll make good on it. We'll make We'll make good
Speaker 2: on it coming up next. KS our pre show, KS
Speaker 2: our apprecio continues aight five to nine two eight oh,
Speaker 2: twenty two eighty seven. I'm going to go to the
Speaker 2: phone in just a minute. But I sort of fumbled playing.
Speaker 2: When I was trying to play, we were up against
Speaker 2: the hard break. So I'm gonna try this again. This
Speaker 2: was the the takeaway from the Pope press conference for
Speaker 2: me yesterday.
Speaker 5: I don't know what happened with UCLA, but somehow that
Speaker 5: they're not in this and Saint John's is and and
Speaker 5: and uh, it's awesome. I'm so hyped. I'll be honest
Speaker 5: with you, just if I'm putting this out there so
Speaker 5: Coach p can hear it. I am bringing the suit game.
Speaker 5: I already started planning. Coach, just be ready, Okay, bring it,
Speaker 5: and the game's gonna be elite.
Speaker 1: I'm not going white.
Speaker 5: I can't listen. I'm not trying to be the dawn
Speaker 5: like that's all that position I'd have been taking. But
Speaker 5: I'm bringing the thunder. So I don't know what coach
Speaker 5: has prepared, but he better get with his Taylor because
Speaker 5: it's on right now.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 2: What do you think about Mark Pope challenging Rick Patino
Speaker 2: to a suit off, saying that he's gonna he better
Speaker 2: go get this Taylor because he's gonna have a Mark
Speaker 2: Pope's gonna have his best suit ready for that Kentucky
Speaker 2: Saint John's game.
Speaker 3: Well, look, this is why we wanted this game, right,
Speaker 3: and in no disrespect to Yukon, but we wanted Ricky
Speaker 3: p and Mark Pope to play because there's a lot
Speaker 3: of love between these two guys, Pope being the captain
Speaker 3: a rix' national championship team.
Speaker 4: But is he poking the bear here a little bit?
Speaker 1: Shannon.
Speaker 3: I mean, if anybody's gonna be the best suit wearer
Speaker 3: in college basketball, it's Ricky p So. I mean, Mark
Speaker 3: must have some big plans for this game. I mean,
Speaker 3: he needs to really bring it with the wardrobe. If
Speaker 3: he's already poking fun about the suits, Shannon, I heard
Speaker 3: somebody say on the Leech Sport this morning, maybe the
Speaker 3: denim suit he breaks out, look, but that would be
Speaker 3: a lot, right, I mean, in tuxedo.
Speaker 2: I love Mark Pope, but there is zero chance he's
Speaker 2: gonna outdress Rick Patino. Not happening like a Tucky might
Speaker 2: win the game, and of course that's the most important
Speaker 2: part of this whole thing. Anyway, It's not a fashion show,
Speaker 2: it's a basketball game. But there is no chance. I
Speaker 2: don't care what Mark Pope wears. He's not gonna look
Speaker 2: better in a suit than Rick Patino. Rick Patino was
Speaker 2: like the Godfather, you know. Yeah, you talk about sharp
Speaker 2: dressers in college basketball, Buzz Williams comes to mind.
Speaker 4: That's a great one. He's the three piece suit.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 4: I don't see anybody do the three piece suit.
Speaker 1: But so many coaches have gone away.
Speaker 2: You know, it all started during COVID where coaches now
Speaker 2: have sort of a pass to not wear the suits.
Speaker 2: And you know, Mark Pope says that he wears a
Speaker 2: suit if he is in an arena of yeah that
Speaker 2: has history, like you know that feels like it's a
Speaker 2: big arena like a Madison Square Garden. Of course he
Speaker 2: would wear a suit if he played a game there.
Speaker 2: But you know he doesn't always get Pope doesn't always
Speaker 2: go with the suit, which no, I think.
Speaker 3: He goes suit at home games, right, and then the
Speaker 3: maybe the jumpsuit on a road games.
Speaker 2: But he wouldn't do it in like a Madison Square
Speaker 2: Garden though. It was my point, like if it's a
Speaker 2: building of history like MSG, he would be wearing the suit.
Speaker 3: Well, he respects the game and he respects Ricky p
Speaker 3: and who wouldn't. Right now, you know, rick has had
Speaker 3: a resurgence and is on top of the college basketball game.
Speaker 3: And I'm sure we'll have Saint John's competing for you know,
Speaker 3: a longer postseason run than what happened this last year.
Speaker 3: I'm sure that was disappointing for them for sure, but
Speaker 3: builds for the excitement of this game. You said that
Speaker 3: was your key takeaway from the Pope press conference. He said,
Speaker 3: Jasper Johnson is a superstar. My eyebrows about hit my
Speaker 3: band when I heard that, Shannon, Well, they didn't have
Speaker 3: far to go, Jammy Jazz for superstar. I mean, if
Speaker 3: that guy can produce at that kind of level, I mean,
Speaker 3: I've got a lot of confidence for the guards coming in.
Speaker 3: So a lot of great tidbits from that press conference.
Speaker 3: And uh, now that Pope's talking to the medium, maybe
Speaker 3: he thinks that his roster is almost setting and he'll
Speaker 3: be joining out on KSR one of these days soon.
Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones and talk to voice man. Hey,
Speaker 2: voice man, Voice man one.
Speaker 7: That's a situation on the guy be picked up from
Speaker 7: uh arizonas where the situation on the guy who has
Speaker 7: the torn the asca. What the Mark public is going to.
Speaker 6: Do with him?
Speaker 2: All right, thanks for the call of voice Man. First
Speaker 2: of all, voice Man sounds a lot like voice to me.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the call.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: Jane Quaintans is who I think he is talking about
Speaker 3: from Arizona State, who is coming off the torn acl
Speaker 3: Mark Pope talked a little bit about Jade Quaintance. They
Speaker 3: are doing everything in their power to, you know, be
Speaker 3: cautious about this injury, but play at as fast as
Speaker 3: a speed that he can to bring him back as
Speaker 3: soon as he can. You know, I am not gonna
Speaker 3: think that he's going to be ready for the start
Speaker 3: of the season. Shannon, it would be a remarkable recovery
Speaker 3: time if he were to do that. And also goes
Speaker 3: to the point of Louisville schedule in the game so
Speaker 3: early that Jaden a Quaintance may not be able to
Speaker 3: take part in that game. So you know you mentioned
Speaker 3: a guy Malachi Moreno yesterday. I kind of scoffed at
Speaker 3: it a little bit. You know, he might have a
Speaker 3: big role early on in the year as we wait
Speaker 3: for a Quaintance to be returned to form. But if
Speaker 3: Boyce is looking for shot blocking that's a guy that's
Speaker 3: gonna produce some of it, Shannon maybe later on the year.
Speaker 6: That.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's a big part of what Kentucky wants
Speaker 4: to do.
Speaker 2: We got the shot blockers, We're good, we got the
Speaker 2: big man. This roster set, let's tip it off, let's go.
Speaker 3: Emerson's taken the next step. Colin Chandler just got married.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: How much of a role do you think Colin Chandler
Speaker 2: will have You think he's gonna I mean, do you
Speaker 2: think he's gonna get more minutes this year than he
Speaker 2: than he would like towards the end of last year.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: And I think that's part of the reason why Travis
Speaker 3: Perry transferred is because I think there is an expectation
Speaker 3: that col And Chandler is going to be one of
Speaker 3: those people taking a step forward and gaining more minutes.
Speaker 4: And he's already proved me wrong once, right.
Speaker 3: I mean, the guy coming off a mission trip, not
Speaker 3: playing basketball for two years, I didn't think he'd do
Speaker 3: anything This last year. Mark Pope kept the rotation long
Speaker 3: and it proved very valuable to have him play when
Speaker 3: Guards went down with injury. But you know, there's a
Speaker 3: there's a lot of guards that should be producing the system.
Speaker 4: I think Colin Chandler is just one of them.
Speaker 3: Jalen Lowe is another, the point guard who I think
Speaker 3: is just going to be happy to play around some
Speaker 3: good players. Shannon because he was playing around uh, not
Speaker 3: the best talent at Pittsburgh, So he's going to have
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit of a culture change as well.
Speaker 1: Misty is up next. Hey Missy, Hey, missy.
Speaker 8: Hey, how are you good? Hey? Two things real quick.
Speaker 8: I planted a bunch of pumpkins last year in my
Speaker 8: backyard and I got one about the size of a
Speaker 8: soccer ball.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's about it, right right, Yeah.
Speaker 8: So don't expect don't expect a lot. I mean, you know,
Speaker 8: you might not gets You might only get one hundred
Speaker 8: pounds pumpkins. The other thing is you all have invites
Speaker 8: to my party. It's Sune fourteenth. I know Billy don't
Speaker 8: invite you all to his party. But Billy and Shannon.
Speaker 1: And Matt and Ryan and Mario.
Speaker 8: And Drew are all invited to our party.
Speaker 2: So okay, what kind of party are we talking about?
Speaker 2: This isn't like a dog birthday party, is it.
Speaker 8: No, this isn't the dog birthday party. This is all catered,
Speaker 8: live band, all free. All you have to do.
Speaker 4: Is bring your drinks, wow and whatever you Yeah.
Speaker 8: You should all have invites somewhere.
Speaker 1: Okay, sounds good, either on Facebook or something you I'll
Speaker 1: be good. Thanks, Misty, appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Missy. I love getting invited to parties.
Speaker 2: You go a little disappointed I didn't get invited to
Speaker 2: be that the band at the party.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, are you disappointed you're not doing my wedding anymore?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: You told me that I was going to be the
Speaker 2: wedding band, and now you just kind of telling me,
Speaker 2: told me on the air that you're not going to
Speaker 2: book a band anymore.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I thought I wanted you to enjoy the day,
Speaker 3: Shannon Little. If you're you're the live entertainment, you're like
Speaker 3: setting things up, You're like trying to coordinate Cliff.
Speaker 4: I mean, I know how tough of an issue that
Speaker 4: can be.
Speaker 1: Sometimes.
Speaker 2: If you don't have those men girl scout cookies and
Speaker 2: that cupcake fiscatto, we're not playing.
Speaker 4: That was it.
Speaker 3: I saw the rider list, so I said, I can't
Speaker 3: do this, but no, we want you to be there,
Speaker 3: have a good time.
Speaker 4: Maybe you'll go acoustic at some point, all right.
Speaker 2: So we got to talk about this, like I'm a
Speaker 2: baseball guy, Billy, I think, I don't know if you're
Speaker 2: a baseball guy, but you you like baseball enough to
Speaker 2: where you.
Speaker 1: Follow it right.
Speaker 4: It's a fun place in my heart.
Speaker 2: And you sent me this link, so you were actually
Speaker 2: the person that sent it to me. Where I saw
Speaker 2: it first is this story that came out yesterday, the
Speaker 2: news that Major League Baseball has decided to lift its
Speaker 2: ban on deceased players who were previously ineligible for the
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. In other words, what this means is
Speaker 2: a guy like Pete Rose, who just passed away eight
Speaker 2: months ago, would now be eligible for the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: And I don't know how you feel about this, Billy,
Speaker 2: but my initial thought is, what a slap in the
Speaker 2: face to Pete Rose, first of all, who called this.
Speaker 2: I've been saying this for years. Major League Baseball wouldn't
Speaker 2: put Pete Rose into the Hall of Fame until he
Speaker 2: died eight months later.
Speaker 1: Here we are.
Speaker 2: So my takeaway on this whole thing is if what
Speaker 2: Pete Rose did was so egregious, so terrible that he
Speaker 2: bet on his own team, to win when he was
Speaker 2: the manager of the Reds. If that's so bad that
Speaker 2: he doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame while he's alive,
Speaker 2: why is it okay for us to put him in
Speaker 2: now that he's dead. I mean, what he did hasn't changed.
Speaker 2: He still bet on baseball. He finally, after lying about it,
Speaker 2: admitted to betting on baseball. Now, eight months after the
Speaker 2: guy passes, we're changing the guidelines. Now all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: he's eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame. And I
Speaker 2: see people applauding Rod Manford in Major League Baseball, going yeah,
Speaker 2: about time, he deserves it. I'm going, ow, you shouldn't
Speaker 2: ap on Major League Baseball. Don't applaud rod Manfred. It's
Speaker 2: an absolute disgrace that they waited for this guy to
Speaker 2: pass away before they said, now you're eligible for the
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. He would have loved it, obviously being
Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame. You could tell when you
Speaker 2: would listen to Pete Roseen interviews how much it meant
Speaker 2: to him to be in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: And you look at his numbers. Nobody did it better.
Speaker 2: So at some point I hear about the integrity of
Speaker 2: the game. You have to set aside, like the morals
Speaker 2: of these people. We don't know any of these guys.
Speaker 2: We don't know what any of these guys in the
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame that are already in did in their
Speaker 2: personal life.
Speaker 1: I don't want to.
Speaker 2: I don't care about the morals, all right. It's not
Speaker 2: the moral Hall of Fame for me. If it is
Speaker 2: for me, were they a great baseball player? And there's
Speaker 2: very few people out there in the history of the
Speaker 2: game that were better than Pete Rose.
Speaker 4: Billy, You're right.
Speaker 3: I mean, it is a disgrace that they did this
Speaker 3: after he passed away, and not the many years that
Speaker 3: him and his family family were clamoring for this. But
Speaker 3: it is the right move by baseball now. And I
Speaker 3: do want to clarify he is not being in into
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame. He is just now eligible eligible.
Speaker 3: And the problem is is that the Baseball writers of
Speaker 3: America see themselves as gatekeepers of the sport, and even
Speaker 3: now that Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson are eligible
Speaker 3: for the Hall of Fame, I don't even know if
Speaker 3: these nerds are going to vote him in, Shannon, I mean,
Speaker 3: Barry Bond still isn't in Guys that have impacted the
Speaker 3: game in enormous ways continue to not be allowed to
Speaker 3: tell their story in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4: So that's a much bigger issue.
Speaker 3: I mean, put asterisks on these guys and tell the
Speaker 3: full story of the sport. It is a joke what
Speaker 3: the Baseball Hall of Fame has become. But if we're
Speaker 3: talking about like making moves today, this is the right move.
Speaker 3: It is time to uplift this ban on Pete Rose
Speaker 3: and also a guy like shoeless Joe Jackson, who I
Speaker 3: guess threw the World Series back in the day, but
Speaker 3: with somebody that didn't commit an error in that World
Speaker 3: Series and also batted above three hundred.
Speaker 4: So there are questions about that.
Speaker 3: You know, the sport has changed a lot, and now
Speaker 3: you know there's gambling ads on the mound as I'm
Speaker 3: trying to watch a game, right, So the hypocrisy of
Speaker 3: keeping somebody ineligible for the Hall of Fame while you
Speaker 3: make millions, if not billions, of dollars on gambling is
Speaker 3: something that needed to be corrected in a right that
Speaker 3: needed to be wrong. But Shannon, I'm sorry if I
Speaker 3: don't get as worked up as you are about this
Speaker 3: because you know the guy's dead, like I just you know,
Speaker 3: the story has passed. They had this opportunity to do
Speaker 3: this the right way when he was alive and didn't right.
Speaker 3: And it goes back to your point, it's a shame
Speaker 3: that they waited this long to do it. What's changed,
Speaker 3: you know, shoeless Joe Jackson's been dead for seventy seventy
Speaker 3: five years, and they didn't decide to make any of
Speaker 3: these changes after he died. They waited until Pete Rose died.
Speaker 3: So it's just a shame that that had to be
Speaker 3: the marker for this change.
Speaker 2: To I think it would bother me a little bit
Speaker 2: less for some reason if it were twenty years from
Speaker 2: now and not eight months after the guy died.
Speaker 4: I agree.
Speaker 3: I agree that that clearly shows to me they were
Speaker 3: waiting for the guy to pass. Yeah, before they changed
Speaker 3: what they thought about the situation.
Speaker 1: Now you're changing the guidelines it again.
Speaker 2: It doesn't change what he did did what he You know,
Speaker 2: betting on baseball was that wrong? Yes, it was about it.
Speaker 2: It was wrong then, It was wrong yesterday, but why
Speaker 2: is it okay today? It was? It wasn't all that
Speaker 2: bad now that he's gone, because now we're saying he's
Speaker 2: eligible for the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: I think it's crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the biggest sticking point I have with this.
Speaker 3: Why the timing?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 3: Why is it that Rob Manford is trying to save
Speaker 3: face and make these changes now? I mean, these are
Speaker 3: the changes that needed to be made. I'm glad that
Speaker 3: they're being made, but it's a shame that had to
Speaker 3: mark the death. You know, Matt always talks about this,
Speaker 3: giving people their flowers while they're alive. Yes, you know,
Speaker 3: don't wait to tell somebody a nice thing. No, don't
Speaker 3: wait to compliment them or tell them how much they
Speaker 3: mean to you, because you never know, you know, nothing's
Speaker 3: promised tomorrow. So it's you know, I'm happy for Pete
Speaker 3: Rose's family. They've been lobbying for this for a while.
Speaker 3: He will hopefully be remembered for the greatness that he
Speaker 3: brought to the sport. But you know, even if we
Speaker 3: get into the nitty gritty, Shannon, he was great as
Speaker 3: a player before he ever bet on the game as
Speaker 3: a manager, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're talking about the guy's playing career, We're
Speaker 2: not talking about what he did off the field.
Speaker 4: King.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a guy's got more wins than
Speaker 3: anybody in American sports. Like, it's just it's it's a
Speaker 3: tragedy that this guy isn't even recognized right or wrong,
Speaker 3: in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: But if I'm the family at this point, though, man,
Speaker 2: I would just be to the point where I'm going,
Speaker 2: now we don't even want to go.
Speaker 1: We don't even want Pete in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: You couldn't give him the honors while he was alive.
Speaker 2: I don't know how that works. I don't know that
Speaker 2: the family can block something like that happening. I don't
Speaker 2: know how that works. But if I had the ability to,
Speaker 2: and I was in his you know, the decision maker
Speaker 2: for Pete Rose, I would say, no, we don't want
Speaker 2: him in now.
Speaker 1: Forget it. You didn't want him in while he was alive.
Speaker 1: We don't want him in while he's.
Speaker 3: Dead, because I think that was a big part of
Speaker 3: like what Pete wanted his legacy.
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know.
Speaker 3: You know, Pete has done a lot of things off
Speaker 3: the diamond that you could say, you know, put him
Speaker 3: in a category where he should not be celebrated, and
Speaker 3: that's a whole nother argument.
Speaker 2: But again, though that goes with any of these guys.
Speaker 2: We don't know any of these athletes that people worship
Speaker 2: every day and you know, they're heroes and hung up
Speaker 2: on posters and you know, on the wall like like they're,
Speaker 2: you know, the greatest people. We don't know what they
Speaker 2: do off the field. We don't know any of these
Speaker 2: people personally. So are there people in the Hall of
Speaker 2: Fame that were probably terrible people? Probably so, especially not
Speaker 2: today's stand up guys. You brought up in base You
Speaker 2: brought up the nineties guys. What are you gonna do
Speaker 2: with all those guys in nineties? Gonna pretend that Mark McGuire,
Speaker 2: Sammy Sosa, Barry Bond, Roger Clements, We're gonna pretend those
Speaker 2: guys didn't exist.
Speaker 1: They were all cheating in the nineties.
Speaker 3: And no, and they broke rules that weren't rules at
Speaker 3: the time, right. They were taking substances that weren't banned.
Speaker 3: They were just not approved or banned, right. So, I
Speaker 3: mean that's a little murky, But at times, maybe you
Speaker 3: could argue that those guys are a fabric of baseball
Speaker 3: and the fact that they aren't celebrated for at least
Speaker 3: what their story was is the tragedy. But I texted
Speaker 3: you this story as soon as I saw it. And
Speaker 3: what did I say? I said, you called it yeah,
Speaker 3: because we knew this was going to happen, that he
Speaker 3: would be honored after he passed away, and it and
Speaker 3: it all came to fruition. Y.
Speaker 1: I think it's an absolute shame. We'll take your calls.
Speaker 2: Coming up next, We're Late for a Break eight five,
Speaker 2: nine to eighth, twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 1: It's the ksrpre show, Joe.
Speaker 2: You know, Billy, some of these summer shows were struggling
Speaker 2: just to get through an hour. This is one of
Speaker 2: these shows where I feel like we could do two hours,
Speaker 2: maybe even three on a show like this today, so
Speaker 2: many things to talk about. We'll probably carry over some
Speaker 2: of this to tomorrow if we don't get to all
Speaker 2: the callers.
Speaker 3: Lick yesterday when I called it mayor Joe Greenberg the
Speaker 3: other day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. I got to mention this while we're talking baseball.
Speaker 2: A couple of things. First of all, how about my
Speaker 2: alma mater, Bellerman baseball. Bellerman University beats Louisville last night
Speaker 2: ten to nine. If you haven't seen that catch to
Speaker 2: end the game. It's one of the great catch just
Speaker 2: to end a game that I've seen in a long time.
Speaker 2: I've tweeted that out at Shannon of the dude. Bellerman
Speaker 2: with their first win over a ranked Division one opponent
Speaker 2: since I believe nineteen ninety one, maybe nineteen ninety But
Speaker 2: how about Bellerman knocking off number twenty one in the
Speaker 2: country Louisville last night.
Speaker 3: I didn't know it was thirty four to thirty five
Speaker 3: years since the last time Bellerman beat a ranked Division
Speaker 3: one opponent.
Speaker 4: Give it up, Yeah nights.
Speaker 2: Remember you know, they were D two for the longest time,
Speaker 2: just went D one recently, so you don't play a
Speaker 2: whole lot of D one schools to begin with.
Speaker 3: So congrats to the team who beat Louisville, a Louisville
Speaker 3: team that had beat Vandy earlier this year. That's Kentucky's
Speaker 3: next weekend series, so that gives you some hope that
Speaker 3: Kentucky can at least steal one from the Commodores and
Speaker 3: secure their spot in the NCAA Tournament. Kentucky getting a
Speaker 3: win over Northern Kentucky last night, that's right. One of
Speaker 3: the things on the Baseball Diamond.
Speaker 2: Kentucky Baseball's now one went away from having four consecutive
Speaker 2: thirty win seasons, so they can get one against Vandy,
Speaker 2: which you'll have. Let's get to the phones quickly. Only
Speaker 2: got a couple of minutes. Let's go to Raleigh. Hey, rolly,
Speaker 2: what's up, Hey guys.
Speaker 6: I have a really unpopular opinion about Pete Rose. I know,
Speaker 6: I'm sixty eight. I've been a Reds fan all my life.
Speaker 6: I love the Reds, still do. But it was not
Speaker 6: it was not secret when he was playing ball. What
Speaker 6: would happen if you bet on baseball? He was on
Speaker 6: every clubhouse wall in the league. He knew what the consequences,
Speaker 6: worried he did it anyway, So I think he got
Speaker 6: what he deserved.
Speaker 1: And but why, but why now? But why? Why now?
Speaker 2: Would they say, okay, now, that's okay that he bet
Speaker 2: on baseball. Now he's eligible, Like, if you want to,
Speaker 2: if that's your take, that's fine, but why not stay
Speaker 2: consistent till the end of time?
Speaker 6: I agree, I agree one hundred percent. I think they
Speaker 6: should not have lifted it, and I think it should
Speaker 6: still be enforced. And you know, I hate that because
Speaker 6: I love the Reds. I love the big Red Machine.
Speaker 6: But that's that's just how I feel.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. We appreciate it, Raleigh.
Speaker 4: And that's a fair opinion.
Speaker 3: I think some people didn't want to see Pete Rose
Speaker 3: give his Hall of Fame speech. Maybe he would go
Speaker 3: after major League Baseball a little bit, as people pointed
Speaker 3: out on the text.
Speaker 4: Maybe so that was a reason as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah again, like I'm finally, if you think betting on
Speaker 2: baseball is bad, and it is, it's against the rules.
Speaker 2: He broke the rules. He admitted that he broke the rules.
Speaker 2: That's fine, But then let's keep him.
Speaker 1: Out of the Hall of Fame. At this point.
Speaker 4: Let's not say now I lied about it for a while.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah he did. He did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I said that earlier. He lied about it and
Speaker 2: then finally came clean. I think you know, if there
Speaker 2: were a time that you were going to say, okay,
Speaker 2: we're going to forgive him, you would do it at
Speaker 2: that point after that interview, not wait until.
Speaker 4: All he dies.
Speaker 2: But no, I'm with you about the time. Yeah, we'll
Speaker 2: have to carry this over to the show tomorrow. Let
Speaker 2: me remind you one more time, DK Horse, that's the
