I need 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.800 like six more hands. Normally when I'm in there like 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.720 an octopus trying to figure out like how to produce 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:02.200 the show and host the show at the same time. 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.640 But yeah, everything's good, man. How are things in Lexington? 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:07.880 They're good, They're good. You know, I didn't do it yesterday. 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:09.399 I may have to do it today. I may have 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.320 to go over to Chaos Bar and grill and get 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.080 some of that catfish that was so good that Ryan 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.559 was using a fork to eat out of his hand yesterday. 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.280 It did look incredible. They said they got some new 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:22.520 catfish in so that may be on my agenda to 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:23.679 try today, Shannon. 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.160 Something always new with Ryan, don't you, isn't it? 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:28.360 Well? 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:30.480 Look, I think people were saying we were being a 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:34.520 little tough on them. I've just never seen anybody use 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.400 a fork and eat food out of their hand, like 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.640 out of the palm of their hand. Now, he was saying, Matt, 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.040 I guess you know. I see Matt do tho all 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:42.360 the time. He'll just go in with his hand and 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.920 just rip off a piece of fish and you know, 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.559 throw it, throw it in his gullet and down it goes. 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.680 But I don't know, I've just never seen anybody use 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.360 that technique of eating. I don't guess there's a wrong 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:54.520 way to do it. But if you're trying to be 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.680 sanitary and not use your hand, eating out of the 0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:59.760 other hand, I don't think makes it any better. It's 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:03.400 just an interesting screenshot that we got there from Mario's post. 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:05.920 No, it was it was great. It was great content. 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:06.279 Mario. 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.560 You're posting the right videos. I don't think I've ever 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.840 seen a video like that. But I like Ryan got 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:13.720 a little defensive. Did you hear it in his voice 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.440 a little bit? I mean he was, he was a 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:16.320 little fed up with that. 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.160 You know, we do give him a hard time. Usually 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:21.360 it's deserved. 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.639 But you know, somebody said, Ryan's going to go off 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.680 on you guys one of these days and say enough's enough. 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:28.320 Hell, I'm going to go off on you guys one 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:29.840 of these days. Oh you are little brothers. 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:31.440 You get picked on too much. 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:33.800 Oh yeah, I'm gonna have my breaking point. Janne. 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:35.760 Here's the thing for anybody that says like we're too 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.920 tough on Ryan or we're too tough on Billy, it's 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.119 it's all out of love, right, It's all out of fun. 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.519 This is a show. We poke fun at each other. 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:45.360 I make fun of you, You make fun of me. 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:46.800 That's how it works. We make fun of Matt, he 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.799 makes fun of us. It's all a part of the show. 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.160 It's all good. Don't like, we don't need people coming 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.080 to bat for anybody, because I feel like the fans 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:55.720 try to interject and like, oh, you guys are being 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.240 too tough on him, Like you know how tough I 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.080 had it my first day. Here we go, all right, 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:05.520 I don't want to hear any sympathy for anybody on 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:06.000 this show. 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.880 Yeah, I'm sure you went through it as well, maybe 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.360 some other initiation things. But you know, Ryan and I 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:16.440 were voted I guess least trustworthy to host KSR while 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.400 we've been drinking, that's true. Yeah, would you put me 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.160 on the bottom of that list too? Shannon todostability can't 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:23.120 handle himself on the air. 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.360 Well, we didn't specify how many drinks. I think it 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:30.080 was just while drunk. Yeah, was the question like, which 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.359 of the KSR members would you trust in order the 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:37.920 most to the least if they were drunk. So that's 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.760 a different number, you know. For Drew it's about fifteen beers. 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:42.760 For Billy it's too. 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.640 Mimosas So it all depends. 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.880 It's a sliding scale, okay that we're talking about here 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.840 when it comes to being drunk. But you know, I 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:55.600 would just say that for me, somebody who has experience 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.760 in doing live radio at music fests, I would never 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.840 to being drunk on the air ever, O never, not 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:09.000 saying it ever happened. But allegedly people have brought brought 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.800 by you know, like you're a Bourbon and Beyond fest. 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:13.080 Why don't you try some bourbon? 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.280 And I'm going, well, I'm on the air right now, 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.480 I can't hear in theory. I'm just saying in theory, 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:20.920 I could hold my alcohol. I've got some stories I 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:22.680 could probably tell you, Billy off the air that I 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.960 won't tell on the air, But no, I think that 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:26.520 I would. 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:27.360 Be right there at the top. 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.760 So you come from a different time, I mean, rock Jah, 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:34.160 Like we talked about initiations, like you've you've been through 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.120 this a little bit. I took a drink of bourbon 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:39.800 coffee at one of our Whiskey Thief's remotes and by 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:41.760 the last segment chain and I definitely was feelished. 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.800 So maybe I could tell the bo you were talking gibberish. 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:46.599 Yeah, I think that was one of the first times 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.200 that we went to Whiskey Thief and excited to go back, 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:49.680 whether that be. 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.440 Their Louisville location or the one outside. 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.440 Frank, could I tell you what I did yesterday? 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.359 Please? Yeah, what'd you get up to? 0:04:56.160 --> 0:05:02.560 I decided that I'm going to dabble in farming a 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:03.040 little bit. 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:05.240 Now. I'll say farming. 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.080 Very very very very loosely. Okay, I mean like planting 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.800 a couple of plants. Farming gardening then right, well, okay, 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:13.800 gardening whatever, farming, gardening. 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:14.479 I like this. 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.680 I like to think I'm a farmer now because I 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.359 got like a my land, like what okay, Like my 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.360 house was my old uh my grandparents' house, right, So 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.320 when I was a kid, a good chunk of their 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.280 backyard was garden. 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.920 Like it was all just tilled up, and they had 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:30.520 a nice garden. 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:34.360 They had like everything you can imagine, green beans, tomatoes, potatoes, squash. 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:35.240 It was all there, right. 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:37.680 But then over time, like when they got older and 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.480 when they passed away, all that area kind of grew 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.520 into grass. But my neighbor to the left side of 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:47.320 me continued to have his garden, so that part of 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.720 his garden kind of extends over to my property for 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:55.640 I don't know, maybe a good let's call it thirty feet. Okay, 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:59.360 so part of my backyard is tilled up for a garden. Okay, 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.240 so I decided I'm going to plan something there. He's 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.880 got his garden over here. I'm going to plant something. 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:06.640 So what I do. I go out and I buy 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.599 some pumpkin seeds because I decide, how fun would it 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.680 be when October rolls around, I'm going to have a 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:18.200 backyard of pumpkins. So yesterday Billy got out, I got 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:21.000 out in the garden. I planted some pumpkins. Farmer, dude, 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.880 planet some pumpkins. I have no idea if these things 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:25.400 are going to work. I don't even know really what 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.920 I'm doing. I just got on a YouTube video and said, okay, 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:29.599 how do you plant pumpkin seeds? 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:29.760 Like? 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.600 When do you plan them? So somebody listening right now. 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.839 I'm sure there's gardeners and farmers that are listening right 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.400 now that are probably going to tell me you're doing 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.280 it all wrong, you planted them too early. But I'm 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.320 just trying to time this out, Billy, to where I 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:42.720 could possibly have some pumpkins. 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.640 And you know what, here's the thing. I might have 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:45.040 a pumpkin. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.560 I can give everybody a KSR if they turn out, 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.560 you know, if they don't rot, if they actually come 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:50.360 up from the ground. 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:52.839 So his pumpkin patch. 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.760 Have you ever experimented with as you're calling it, gardening 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.120 before and try to grow like an actual plant. 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.440 Well, I've done a different type of gardening now and then, Shannon, 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.400 But my parents also had their own gardens, so I 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.839 am no stranger to what it takes to grow plants. Now, 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.800 you said the ground was already I guess plowed or tilled, 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.040 told extended from the other yards. 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.360 He would be my first question. He took some liberties 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.040 and went over on my side of the property. So 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.280 I'm going, well, since it's already, you know, it's already 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.640 ready to go, let's just throw a couple of plants 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.440 down and see what happens here. 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:26.440 There's no fence. 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.880 There, no, no, there's my neighbors in this neighborhood. I 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:30.680 have known since I was a child, all right, So 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.880 I've known these people my entire life, so it's all good. 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.200 It's not like there's any kind of neighbor neighborly rivalry 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:38.240 going on here, So. 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.040 Now, was this the guy winning all the money or. 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.120 Yeah that had Yeah, No, no, this was the guy 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:43.160 that was winning all the money. 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:44.680 All right, all right, I love this guy. 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.920 He's just walking across the yard and cleaning out your 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:48.480 other neighbors. 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.520 He's also the guy you might remember from last summer. 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.400 I asked you about why my neighbor was hanging a 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:58.120 towel on his car mirror. Winshield, Yeah, the side mirror. 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.800 Same neighbor. He's an interesting guy. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.760 He is, but he knows he's been a topic on 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:03.800 this show multiple times. 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:04.800 He does not listen. 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.120 Like I said, none of my friends, none of the 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.000 people that I know outside of this radio world, ever 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:13.680 listen to anything that I do. They're so unimpressed that 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:14.560 I have a radio show. 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.280 They don't care. They don't even listen. They don't even 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:16.720 support me. 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.080 Well that's good sometimes because then you can talk to 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.120 them about things that aren't in your work life. But 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.600 I got a couple questions for farmer dude. Okay, so 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.960 you went to the store and picked up some pumpkin seeds. 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:27.360 Wrong? 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.120 No, wrong, Okay, where'd I go wrong? 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.560 I went to Amazon dot Com ad them delivered to 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:34.320 my house. 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:39.480 Okay, giant pumpkin seeds. Giant pumpkin seeds. That's like this 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.640 really is like Charlie Brown. We're trying to find the 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:46.560 great Pumpkin's right. So it says on the back one 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:47.280 hundred pounds. 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.480 I'm going to assume that means each pumpkin will not 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.320 be one hundred pounds. I assume that means like if 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.160 you were to take all the pumpkins that are going 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.080 to be bloomed and blossomed off these plants, it would 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:58.200 equal one hundred pounds. 0:08:58.200 --> 0:08:59.319 That's my assumption here. 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.040 I don't think that I'm growing pumpkins that are one 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:05.440 hundred pounds each. Otherwise we're gonna need a bigger boat. 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:07.120 Any more room. 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.439 Well, will help you get that thing to the exposition 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.080 center for the State Fair. Yeah, ribbon on that exactly, 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.679 But only pumpkin, right, nothing else, just seeds. 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.000 Four hills of pumpkins, Billy, you got a plant them 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.240 on a hill. Wow, I'm gonna teach you something about. 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:23.400 Guarding bywater farms here in Shannon in the dude's backyard. 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.000 Going to be in October, that's right. 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.360 I'm excited, So, like, you know, are you gonna get 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:28.920 out and water it or are you just gonna let 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:30.120 mother nature do its thing? 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.079 I mean, how you gonna maintain your garden here? 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.560 Well, I mean that, Yeah, there's rain, ring comes down, 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:38.720 it's it's it's watery and and against the h the germination, 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:43.000 see you like an expert. Yeah, there's a germination period 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.880 which is one hundred days, which I don't entirely know 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.840 what germination means. I believe that means from the time 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.560 you plant the seed until you get blooms on your plant. 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:56.120 I think that's right. I'm learning as we go. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.400 When we'll go to the text line, correct, We'll go 0:09:58.400 --> 0:09:59.800 to the We'll go to Twitter, we'll go to the 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:01.960 I'm sure there's going to be experts out there on 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.360 how to grow pumpkins, when to you know, when to 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.920 do everything, when to water them. But I'm I'm learning 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:08.440 as we go. This may turn out to be a 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.520 complete bust. But I thought that you know, every uh, 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:13.319 I don't know. A couple of weeks, I could give 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:14.560 you a pumpkin update on the show. 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.520 Oh, I would love pumpkin updates on the pesticides and 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.280 the you know, maybe some deer come around and start 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:21.000 eating some of your. 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.480 Baby Oh no, Shannon, how are. 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.280 We going to get rid of deer from eating out 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.560 of Shannon the Dude's garden. Yeah, that'll be a topic 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:31.120 this summer. Well, I'm excited. Maybe make you can make 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:32.160 us a little pumpkin pie. 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.520 No, no, look, here's the thing. I already did my 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:40.160 part at this point. A planet, the seeds, Mother Nature's 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.520 gonna do her thing. And then like, if you want 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:43.920 a pumpkin, you have to come over and pick it 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:44.440 from the patch. 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:46.160 I can't do everything for you. 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.400 That might be my favorite part of this story is 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:52.920 Shannon's done. He's planting the seeds. His job is done. 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.320 Now Mother Nature will take over and we can come 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:56.719 get the pumpkins if we want them. 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:58.040 But Shannon has done his part. 0:10:58.200 --> 0:10:58.680 That's right. 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:03.360 So looking forward to seeing what happens, or more than likely, 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:05.680 what does doesn't happen in this whole thing. 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:06.719 All right. 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.760 So the big story I think yesterday came from Mark Pope, 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:12.840 who sat down with the media. He talked for over 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:17.320 thirty minutes. He touched on a variety of topics. He 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.760 talked about Travis Perry. That was one of the things 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:22.800 that Matt actually mentioned on the show yesterday. You know, 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.199 we haven't really heard anything from either side about Travis 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:28.560 Perry transferring Billy and Pope. 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:29.360 Used the word devastated. 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.480 He said he was devastated to learn that Travis Perry 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.360 wanted to transfer, and he said that he was well 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:39.040 on his way to becoming a legend at Kentucky. You know, 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.079 after hearing those words, it's like, man, I wish we 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.120 could have hung on to him for the rest of 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.040 his college career. But I get it, man, we live 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.320 in a different world with a transfer portal. It's very 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.040 tempting for a guy like Travis Perry, who maybe the 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.760 twelfth or thirteenth man on the team, to not go 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.320 to another school where he can double or maybe even 0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:01.080 triple his money. So it's it's a tough situation for 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.720 guys like that who aren't guaranteed playing time. 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.079 Yeah, that was one of the quotes that stuck out 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:08.120 to me. He was well on his way to becoming 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.280 a Kentucky legend. So that obviously means Mark Pope thought 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.760 highly of the guy, and it also had some plans 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.640 for him, whether that be how much he was going 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.280 to play this year or in the coming years. And 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:21.400 you're right, the climate of college sports today is that 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.200 if you're not playing a lot of times, there's going 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.560 to be another place that can offer you that playing 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.559 time and also a little nil. 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:28.400 Money to go along with it. 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.840 So I don't fault Travis Perry's decision, but to hear 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:35.960 the anguish in Mark Pope's voice about Travis, you could 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.559 tell it meant something to him, and that's refreshing to hear. 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.120 Not that coaches don't care about when a player gets away, 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.640 but you could tell Mark really does care for his guys. 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:48.400 And just another point to why Pope has worked so 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:52.040 well at this university is that it just bleeds through them, right. 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.760 You can tell in that thirty minute press conference how 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.000 much the university means to him and how much guys 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.559 like TP means to him, And they really built a 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.880 good relation relationship. And in a press conference that, you know, 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.079 he talked so much about the jump that second year 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:07.480 guys will make in this system. 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.320 You know, I think he obviously thought the same about Travis. 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:12.520 Now you at to find yourself a new partner to 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.040 do your your coffee commercial with you. 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.720 You know, I mean, is his funky rooster endorsement void 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:18.600 now that he's gone? 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.280 I would think so contract. I mean, we can get 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:22.640 Trent Noah maybe over there with you. 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.040 Sure he drinks coffee, Yeah, he's And Pope was excited 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.680 about Trent Noah too, talking about him gaining eight gonna 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.040 going to gain eighteen pounds and writing a special story. 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:35.640 I can't help, but maybe check Mark every time I 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:37.680 hear the word beautiful and of Mark Pope press conference 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:38.359 now because. 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:39.200 Thinking of a drink and take a shot. 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.480 Every time you hear the word beautiful, Billy, do you 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.040 think if I said between now and November. I'm not 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.760 saying that I'm challenging you to do this, I'm just 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.840 saying in theory. Do you think if I said between 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.439 now and basketball season in November, I need you to 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:56.480 gain eighteen pounds and not eighteen pounds of fat. We're talking, 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.560 you know, eighteen pounds of some mostly muscle. Do you 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.480 think you could pull that off? I mean, were so 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.120 we got We're midway through May, so you got the 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.480 rest of May, June, July, August, September, October. 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:10.960 We're looking at what six months? 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:11.800 Wow? 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.960 I mean yeah, probably just because I'm I'm that type 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:16.839 of guy, Shannon, I mean, I put my mind to 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.680 something I can do it. But like, here's the difference 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.360 between me and Trent Noah is the nutrition right. I mean, 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.880 he's got a whole team. I mean, he's got a 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.160 university back nutritionists that's going to tell him when to eat, 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.240 what to eat, and how many calories to get. 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:31.960 Shannon, I'm just kind of throwing it together. You know. 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:33.720 I got a granola bar. I might eat a little 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:34.520 later today. 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.440 Maybe a Stell twinkie from the covid Era. 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.400 Stale twinkie and ho hose here, And I mean. 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:39.800 That's gonna put some weight on you, but not the 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.320 kind of weight we need for you to be out 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.280 there and be our basketball player. 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.280 About twenty pounds though in a few months is tough, though, Shannon, 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.440 that's gonna be a lot of Mose burritos or you know, 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.280 just trying to cheat your way into five thousand calories today. 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:56.000 You remember I did the Damien Collins challenge when he 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.480 was eating five thousand calories today, and I did that 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.840 and I about killed myself. I had to eat nothing 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.080 but like thin mints to the final hour and a 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.440 half of the day, just because it was a cheap 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.840 way to get those calories. Also put in olive oil 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:10.720 on a lot of different things can help you get 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.640 to that, But I do not envy having to be 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:14.400 in that position. 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:16.600 Shannon, what about you? You think you could put on the pounds? 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.000 Probably not even Like, well, the big difference is though 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.200 you're a little closer to Trent Noah's age than I am. 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:26.360 All right, sure, yeah. 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.480 But I will say, well, you know what, your metabolism slower. 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:29.160 That might be easy. 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:31.080 That's true that that is a good point. That is 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:32.840 a good point, But I don't know that it would 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.440 be the right kind of weight. Like I could probably 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.560 put on, like, you know, drink a bunch of beer 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.840 and get eighteen pounds of a beer belly going here, 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.840 But I don't know that it would be productive weight. 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.360 Well, Trent, nowa's got to gain eighteen pounds and then 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:46.480 still run sprints. 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.760 At practice, right, yeah, exactly. 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.160 Like it's like you said, it's got to be a 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.200 healthy muscle weight. You know, we could just put on 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.600 the beer belly and get to that eighteen pounds, maybe 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:55.960 even a little quicker than that. 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:59.120 Yeah, if Trent, if Trent comes back with a beer belly, 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:00.000 I think we're all in trouble. 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:05.360 Wouldn't that be Great Aunt Mamba, Sweet Mountain Angel. Baby's 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.080 got a beer gut on the sideline. He just can't 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:08.040 stop hitting threes. 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:12.160 Well, Luca's got a beer gut and he's thriving. That's 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.960 right in the NBA, though, really that's true. Eight five 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:17.320 nine twenty two eighty seven. 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.080 I got more than I want to talk about, including 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.920 the end of the Mark Pope press conference yesterday.

I mean it's it's in the name Farmer. 0:16:58.040 --> 0:16:58.200 Uh. 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.520 He says these pumpkins are gonna be one hundred pun each. 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:07.480 I misinterpreted it when it said one hundred pounds, I 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.040 thought it mad like one hundred pounds together, Like at 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.520 the end of harvest. I take all these pumpkins and 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.680 I put them on a scale, it's gonna be about 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.320 one hundred pounds. I didn't realize I was planning pumpkins 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:18.840 that are going to be one hundred pounds each. 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.399 And that's yeah, that's gonna be a real problem. 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:23.719 And how many rows did you say of these seeds 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:27.000 that you plan in like four four hills? 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.240 It says you're supposed to plant four to six seeds 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:33.679 per hill.

Look at that that 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:14.440 dog isn't is in the garden.

The thing that would 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:28.080 make me most sad in the world is if there 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:30.639 was ever a former player or former coach that didn't 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:32.800 feel like they were welcomed here. 0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:34.680 This okay, this is the tell end of another question, 0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:35.360 but we'll get to it here. 0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:37.800 It's really special.

First of all, 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:48.520 nobody asked about Saint John's Is this possible? 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:51.560 I'm excited. 0:21:51.640 --> 0:22:00.080 You guys aren't excited about this. Thank you? 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:00.800 Wow. 0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:05.120 Uh man. I've been working hard on this game, and 0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:07.520 I'm so grateful to CBS.

I time this out poorly. 0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:11.679 That's on me. 0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:13.359 We'll get to that in just a minute. You have 0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:14.800 to hear a little bit of bark pope there. That's 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:16.960 the tease. I'll get to what I wanted to play 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:17.960 coming up after the break. 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:18.800 He's excited. 0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:19.320 That's right. 0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:23.040 Eight twenty two eighty seven. I'll teed that up wrong. 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:25.359 It's a live radio, man, what are you gonna do? 0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:28.360 We'll make good on it. We'll make We'll make good 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:39.600 on it coming up next. KS our pre show, KS 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:42.080 our apprecio continues aight five to nine two eight oh, 0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:43.800 twenty two eighty seven. I'm going to go to the 0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:46.800 phone in just a minute. But I sort of fumbled playing. 0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:48.560 When I was trying to play, we were up against 0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:50.560 the hard break. So I'm gonna try this again. This 0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:53.280 was the the takeaway from the Pope press conference for 0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:53.960 me yesterday. 0:22:54.000 --> 0:22:56.080 I don't know what happened with UCLA, but somehow that 0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:59.080 they're not in this and Saint John's is and and 0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:03.600 and uh, it's awesome. I'm so hyped. I'll be honest 0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:06.600 with you, just if I'm putting this out there so 0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:10.720 Coach p can hear it. I am bringing the suit game. 0:23:11.240 --> 0:23:16.240 I already started planning. Coach, just be ready, Okay, bring it, 0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:19.720 and the game's gonna be elite. 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:21.359 I'm not going white. 0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:24.400 I can't listen. I'm not trying to be the dawn 0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:26.359 like that's all that position I'd have been taking. But 0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:28.800 I'm bringing the thunder. So I don't know what coach 0:23:28.840 --> 0:23:32.119 has prepared, but he better get with his Taylor because 0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:33.320 it's on right now. 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:34.120 Ah. 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:39.080 What do you think about Mark Pope challenging Rick Patino 0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:42.000 to a suit off, saying that he's gonna he better 0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:44.440 go get this Taylor because he's gonna have a Mark 0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:47.000 Pope's gonna have his best suit ready for that Kentucky 0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:47.880 Saint John's game. 0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:50.040 Well, look, this is why we wanted this game, right, 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:52.920 and in no disrespect to Yukon, but we wanted Ricky 0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:55.359 p and Mark Pope to play because there's a lot 0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:57.879 of love between these two guys, Pope being the captain 0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:00.320 a rix' national championship team. 0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:02.959 But is he poking the bear here a little bit? 0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:03.320 Shannon. 0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:06.520 I mean, if anybody's gonna be the best suit wearer 0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:10.400 in college basketball, it's Ricky p So. I mean, Mark 0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:13.120 must have some big plans for this game. I mean, 0:24:13.160 --> 0:24:15.000 he needs to really bring it with the wardrobe. If 0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:17.760 he's already poking fun about the suits, Shannon, I heard 0:24:18.080 --> 0:24:20.080 somebody say on the Leech Sport this morning, maybe the 0:24:20.160 --> 0:24:22.960 denim suit he breaks out, look, but that would be 0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:25.080 a lot, right, I mean, in tuxedo. 0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:29.840 I love Mark Pope, but there is zero chance he's 0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:34.040 gonna outdress Rick Patino. Not happening like a Tucky might 0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:35.960 win the game, and of course that's the most important 0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:38.480 part of this whole thing. Anyway, It's not a fashion show, 0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:41.639 it's a basketball game. But there is no chance. I 0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:43.840 don't care what Mark Pope wears. He's not gonna look 0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:46.040 better in a suit than Rick Patino. Rick Patino was 0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:49.200 like the Godfather, you know. Yeah, you talk about sharp 0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:51.840 dressers in college basketball, Buzz Williams comes to mind. 0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:53.840 That's a great one. He's the three piece suit. 0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:53.959 Man. 0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:55.639 I don't see anybody do the three piece suit. 0:24:55.760 --> 0:24:57.520 But so many coaches have gone away. 0:24:57.600 --> 0:24:59.680 You know, it all started during COVID where coaches now 0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:01.639 have sort of a pass to not wear the suits. 0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:04.119 And you know, Mark Pope says that he wears a 0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:07.359 suit if he is in an arena of yeah that 0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:09.960 has history, like you know that feels like it's a 0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:12.639 big arena like a Madison Square Garden. Of course he 0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:14.600 would wear a suit if he played a game there. 0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:17.080 But you know he doesn't always get Pope doesn't always 0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:18.679 go with the suit, which no, I think. 0:25:18.560 --> 0:25:20.320 He goes suit at home games, right, and then the 0:25:20.920 --> 0:25:23.119 maybe the jumpsuit on a road games. 0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:25.440 But he wouldn't do it in like a Madison Square 0:25:25.480 --> 0:25:27.080 Garden though. It was my point, like if it's a 0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:31.960 building of history like MSG, he would be wearing the suit. 0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:35.359 Well, he respects the game and he respects Ricky p 0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:38.000 and who wouldn't. Right now, you know, rick has had 0:25:38.040 --> 0:25:41.120 a resurgence and is on top of the college basketball game. 0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:44.800 And I'm sure we'll have Saint John's competing for you know, 0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:47.760 a longer postseason run than what happened this last year. 0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:49.560 I'm sure that was disappointing for them for sure, but 0:25:50.480 --> 0:25:52.760 builds for the excitement of this game. You said that 0:25:52.880 --> 0:25:55.320 was your key takeaway from the Pope press conference. He said, 0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:58.960 Jasper Johnson is a superstar. My eyebrows about hit my 0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:01.679 band when I heard that, Shannon, Well, they didn't have 0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:04.520 far to go, Jammy Jazz for superstar. I mean, if 0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:06.560 that guy can produce at that kind of level, I mean, 0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:09.159 I've got a lot of confidence for the guards coming in. 0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:12.320 So a lot of great tidbits from that press conference. 0:26:12.359 --> 0:26:14.880 And uh, now that Pope's talking to the medium, maybe 0:26:14.920 --> 0:26:17.360 he thinks that his roster is almost setting and he'll 0:26:17.400 --> 0:26:19.240 be joining out on KSR one of these days soon. 0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:21.760 Let's go to the phones and talk to voice man. Hey, 0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:24.000 voice man, Voice man one. 0:26:24.080 --> 0:26:27.879 That's a situation on the guy be picked up from 0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:33.520 uh arizonas where the situation on the guy who has 0:26:33.720 --> 0:26:37.159 the torn the asca. What the Mark public is going to. 0:26:37.440 --> 0:26:38.120 Do with him? 0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:40.560 All right, thanks for the call of voice Man. First 0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:43.159 of all, voice Man sounds a lot like voice to me. 0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:43.920 Thanks for the call. 0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:45.000 Uh. 0:26:45.119 --> 0:26:47.320 Jane Quaintans is who I think he is talking about 0:26:47.359 --> 0:26:50.520 from Arizona State, who is coming off the torn acl 0:26:50.600 --> 0:26:53.160 Mark Pope talked a little bit about Jade Quaintance. They 0:26:53.160 --> 0:26:56.199 are doing everything in their power to, you know, be 0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:59.560 cautious about this injury, but play at as fast as 0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:01.919 a speed that he can to bring him back as 0:27:01.960 --> 0:27:05.080 soon as he can. You know, I am not gonna 0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:06.760 think that he's going to be ready for the start 0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:10.480 of the season. Shannon, it would be a remarkable recovery 0:27:10.480 --> 0:27:13.080 time if he were to do that. And also goes 0:27:13.119 --> 0:27:15.119 to the point of Louisville schedule in the game so 0:27:15.200 --> 0:27:17.320 early that Jaden a Quaintance may not be able to 0:27:17.320 --> 0:27:19.640 take part in that game. So you know you mentioned 0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:21.959 a guy Malachi Moreno yesterday. I kind of scoffed at 0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:23.439 it a little bit. You know, he might have a 0:27:23.440 --> 0:27:25.359 big role early on in the year as we wait 0:27:25.400 --> 0:27:28.480 for a Quaintance to be returned to form. But if 0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:30.520 Boyce is looking for shot blocking that's a guy that's 0:27:30.560 --> 0:27:33.480 gonna produce some of it, Shannon maybe later on the year. 0:27:33.840 --> 0:27:34.000 That. 0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:35.640 I mean, he's a big part of what Kentucky wants 0:27:35.680 --> 0:27:35.840 to do. 0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:37.399 We got the shot blockers, We're good, we got the 0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:40.879 big man. This roster set, let's tip it off, let's go. 0:27:40.960 --> 0:27:44.119 Emerson's taken the next step. Colin Chandler just got married. 0:27:44.359 --> 0:27:45.320 Yeah. 0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:47.160 How much of a role do you think Colin Chandler 0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:50.040 will have You think he's gonna I mean, do you 0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:51.760 think he's gonna get more minutes this year than he 0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:54.240 than he would like towards the end of last year. 0:27:54.560 --> 0:27:54.879 Yeah? 0:27:54.920 --> 0:27:57.159 And I think that's part of the reason why Travis 0:27:57.160 --> 0:27:59.600 Perry transferred is because I think there is an expectation 0:27:59.640 --> 0:28:01.440 that col And Chandler is going to be one of 0:28:01.480 --> 0:28:04.040 those people taking a step forward and gaining more minutes. 0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:06.200 And he's already proved me wrong once, right. 0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:08.919 I mean, the guy coming off a mission trip, not 0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:10.960 playing basketball for two years, I didn't think he'd do 0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:14.840 anything This last year. Mark Pope kept the rotation long 0:28:14.880 --> 0:28:17.600 and it proved very valuable to have him play when 0:28:17.600 --> 0:28:20.240 Guards went down with injury. But you know, there's a 0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:22.679 there's a lot of guards that should be producing the system. 0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:24.479 I think Colin Chandler is just one of them. 0:28:24.560 --> 0:28:27.120 Jalen Lowe is another, the point guard who I think 0:28:27.160 --> 0:28:28.480 is just going to be happy to play around some 0:28:28.520 --> 0:28:32.040 good players. Shannon because he was playing around uh, not 0:28:32.280 --> 0:28:34.879 the best talent at Pittsburgh, So he's going to have 0:28:35.520 --> 0:28:37.280 maybe a little bit of a culture change as well. 0:28:37.359 --> 0:28:40.040 Misty is up next. Hey Missy, Hey, missy. 0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:44.000 Hey, how are you good? Hey? Two things real quick. 0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:46.720 I planted a bunch of pumpkins last year in my 0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:51.200 backyard and I got one about the size of a 0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:51.880 soccer ball. 0:28:52.680 --> 0:28:56.040 Okay, so that's about it, right right, Yeah. 0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:59.400 So don't expect don't expect a lot. I mean, you know, 0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:02.440 you might not gets You might only get one hundred 0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:05.800 pounds pumpkins.

This is all catered, 0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:29.960 live band, all free.

I love getting invited to parties. 0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:48.240 You go a little disappointed I didn't get invited to 0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:50.719 be that the band at the party. 0:29:51.400 --> 0:29:55.040 Yeah, yeah, are you disappointed you're not doing my wedding anymore? 0:29:55.680 --> 0:29:55.880 Yeah? 0:29:56.200 --> 0:29:57.320 You told me that I was going to be the 0:29:57.720 --> 0:30:00.560 wedding band, and now you just kind of telling me, 0:30:01.160 --> 0:30:03.040 told me on the air that you're not going to 0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:04.000 book a band anymore. 0:30:04.040 --> 0:30:06.640 So yeah, I thought I wanted you to enjoy the day, 0:30:06.640 --> 0:30:09.120 Shannon Little. If you're you're the live entertainment, you're like 0:30:09.160 --> 0:30:12.200 setting things up, You're like trying to coordinate Cliff. 0:30:12.560 --> 0:30:14.880 I mean, I know how tough of an issue that 0:30:14.880 --> 0:30:15.120 can be. 0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:15.480 Sometimes. 0:30:15.520 --> 0:30:17.440 If you don't have those men girl scout cookies and 0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:20.160 that cupcake fiscatto, we're not playing. 0:30:19.960 --> 0:30:20.480 That was it. 0:30:20.560 --> 0:30:22.160 I saw the rider list, so I said, I can't 0:30:22.160 --> 0:30:24.520 do this, but no, we want you to be there, 0:30:24.560 --> 0:30:25.040 have a good time. 0:30:25.080 --> 0:30:26.719 Maybe you'll go acoustic at some point, all right. 0:30:26.760 --> 0:30:28.440 So we got to talk about this, like I'm a 0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:31.600 baseball guy, Billy, I think, I don't know if you're 0:30:31.640 --> 0:30:33.800 a baseball guy, but you you like baseball enough to 0:30:33.800 --> 0:30:34.160 where you. 0:30:34.120 --> 0:30:34.600 Follow it right. 0:30:34.640 --> 0:30:35.800 It's a fun place in my heart. 0:30:36.040 --> 0:30:37.640 And you sent me this link, so you were actually 0:30:37.680 --> 0:30:39.320 the person that sent it to me. Where I saw 0:30:39.320 --> 0:30:42.280 it first is this story that came out yesterday, the 0:30:42.320 --> 0:30:45.920 news that Major League Baseball has decided to lift its 0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:50.480 ban on deceased players who were previously ineligible for the 0:30:50.520 --> 0:30:52.560 Hall of Fame. In other words, what this means is 0:30:53.160 --> 0:30:55.880 a guy like Pete Rose, who just passed away eight 0:30:55.920 --> 0:30:59.400 months ago, would now be eligible for the Hall of Fame. 0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:02.680 And I don't know how you feel about this, Billy, 0:31:03.080 --> 0:31:05.960 but my initial thought is, what a slap in the 0:31:05.960 --> 0:31:08.880 face to Pete Rose, first of all, who called this. 0:31:09.240 --> 0:31:12.360 I've been saying this for years. Major League Baseball wouldn't 0:31:12.360 --> 0:31:14.680 put Pete Rose into the Hall of Fame until he 0:31:14.720 --> 0:31:16.640 died eight months later. 0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:17.320 Here we are. 0:31:18.000 --> 0:31:20.520 So my takeaway on this whole thing is if what 0:31:20.560 --> 0:31:23.920 Pete Rose did was so egregious, so terrible that he 0:31:24.040 --> 0:31:27.680 bet on his own team, to win when he was 0:31:27.720 --> 0:31:29.920 the manager of the Reds. If that's so bad that 0:31:29.960 --> 0:31:32.000 he doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame while he's alive, 0:31:32.800 --> 0:31:35.120 why is it okay for us to put him in 0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:38.680 now that he's dead. I mean, what he did hasn't changed. 0:31:38.840 --> 0:31:42.160 He still bet on baseball. He finally, after lying about it, 0:31:42.200 --> 0:31:46.400 admitted to betting on baseball. Now, eight months after the 0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:49.400 guy passes, we're changing the guidelines. Now all of a sudden, 0:31:49.440 --> 0:31:52.800 he's eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame. And I 0:31:52.840 --> 0:31:56.840 see people applauding Rod Manford in Major League Baseball, going yeah, 0:31:57.360 --> 0:31:59.840 about time, he deserves it. I'm going, ow, you shouldn't 0:31:59.840 --> 0:32:03.320 ap on Major League Baseball. Don't applaud rod Manfred. It's 0:32:03.320 --> 0:32:06.120 an absolute disgrace that they waited for this guy to 0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:08.600 pass away before they said, now you're eligible for the 0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:10.680 Hall of Fame. He would have loved it, obviously being 0:32:10.680 --> 0:32:11.920 in the Hall of Fame. You could tell when you 0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:14.640 would listen to Pete Roseen interviews how much it meant 0:32:14.640 --> 0:32:16.240 to him to be in the Hall of Fame. 0:32:16.720 --> 0:32:18.680 And you look at his numbers. Nobody did it better. 0:32:19.440 --> 0:32:22.480 So at some point I hear about the integrity of 0:32:22.520 --> 0:32:26.400 the game. You have to set aside, like the morals 0:32:26.440 --> 0:32:27.760 of these people. We don't know any of these guys. 0:32:27.760 --> 0:32:29.040 We don't know what any of these guys in the 0:32:29.080 --> 0:32:31.520 Hall of Fame that are already in did in their 0:32:31.520 --> 0:32:32.320 personal life. 0:32:33.440 --> 0:32:33.920 I don't want to. 0:32:33.960 --> 0:32:36.000 I don't care about the morals, all right. It's not 0:32:36.040 --> 0:32:38.520 the moral Hall of Fame for me. If it is 0:32:38.560 --> 0:32:41.600 for me, were they a great baseball player? And there's 0:32:41.720 --> 0:32:43.600 very few people out there in the history of the 0:32:43.600 --> 0:32:44.880 game that were better than Pete Rose. 0:32:44.920 --> 0:32:46.440 Billy, You're right. 0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:49.360 I mean, it is a disgrace that they did this 0:32:49.440 --> 0:32:52.120 after he passed away, and not the many years that 0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:55.240 him and his family family were clamoring for this. But 0:32:55.280 --> 0:32:58.200 it is the right move by baseball now. And I 0:32:58.200 --> 0:33:00.480 do want to clarify he is not being in into 0:33:00.480 --> 0:33:02.760 the Hall of Fame. He is just now eligible eligible. 0:33:03.040 --> 0:33:05.400 And the problem is is that the Baseball writers of 0:33:05.400 --> 0:33:09.760 America see themselves as gatekeepers of the sport, and even 0:33:10.240 --> 0:33:13.600 now that Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson are eligible 0:33:13.640 --> 0:33:15.280 for the Hall of Fame, I don't even know if 0:33:15.320 --> 0:33:17.200 these nerds are going to vote him in, Shannon, I mean, 0:33:17.240 --> 0:33:20.800 Barry Bond still isn't in Guys that have impacted the 0:33:20.840 --> 0:33:24.720 game in enormous ways continue to not be allowed to 0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:26.560 tell their story in the Baseball Hall of Fame. 0:33:26.960 --> 0:33:28.240 So that's a much bigger issue. 0:33:28.240 --> 0:33:30.400 I mean, put asterisks on these guys and tell the 0:33:30.440 --> 0:33:33.200 full story of the sport. It is a joke what 0:33:33.320 --> 0:33:37.320 the Baseball Hall of Fame has become. But if we're 0:33:37.560 --> 0:33:41.040 talking about like making moves today, this is the right move. 0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:45.240 It is time to uplift this ban on Pete Rose 0:33:45.640 --> 0:33:48.720 and also a guy like shoeless Joe Jackson, who I 0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:51.680 guess threw the World Series back in the day, but 0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:53.600 with somebody that didn't commit an error in that World 0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:56.360 Series and also batted above three hundred. 0:33:56.520 --> 0:33:58.120 So there are questions about that. 0:33:59.600 --> 0:34:02.080 You know, the sport has changed a lot, and now 0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:05.680 you know there's gambling ads on the mound as I'm 0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:09.680 trying to watch a game, right, So the hypocrisy of 0:34:09.800 --> 0:34:12.960 keeping somebody ineligible for the Hall of Fame while you 0:34:13.000 --> 0:34:17.520 make millions, if not billions, of dollars on gambling is 0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:20.160 something that needed to be corrected in a right that 0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:22.920 needed to be wrong. But Shannon, I'm sorry if I 0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:25.399 don't get as worked up as you are about this 0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:28.359 because you know the guy's dead, like I just you know, 0:34:28.400 --> 0:34:31.279 the story has passed. They had this opportunity to do 0:34:31.360 --> 0:34:34.360 this the right way when he was alive and didn't right. 0:34:34.440 --> 0:34:36.320 And it goes back to your point, it's a shame 0:34:36.360 --> 0:34:38.800 that they waited this long to do it. What's changed, 0:34:39.080 --> 0:34:41.760 you know, shoeless Joe Jackson's been dead for seventy seventy 0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:44.200 five years, and they didn't decide to make any of 0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:47.640 these changes after he died. They waited until Pete Rose died. 0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:49.759 So it's just a shame that that had to be 0:34:49.840 --> 0:34:51.200 the marker for this change. 0:34:51.000 --> 0:34:52.680 To I think it would bother me a little bit 0:34:52.760 --> 0:34:55.080 less for some reason if it were twenty years from 0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:56.960 now and not eight months after the guy died. 0:34:57.040 --> 0:34:57.560 I agree. 0:34:57.640 --> 0:35:00.200 I agree that that clearly shows to me they were 0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:02.880 waiting for the guy to pass. Yeah, before they changed 0:35:02.880 --> 0:35:04.360 what they thought about the situation. 0:35:05.120 --> 0:35:07.600 Now you're changing the guidelines it again. 0:35:07.640 --> 0:35:11.360 It doesn't change what he did did what he You know, 0:35:11.400 --> 0:35:15.279 betting on baseball was that wrong? Yes, it was about it. 0:35:15.280 --> 0:35:19.439 It was wrong then, It was wrong yesterday, but why 0:35:19.480 --> 0:35:22.080 is it okay today? It was? It wasn't all that 0:35:22.160 --> 0:35:25.359 bad now that he's gone, because now we're saying he's 0:35:25.400 --> 0:35:26.520 eligible for the Hall of Fame. 0:35:26.560 --> 0:35:27.360 I think it's crazy. 0:35:27.800 --> 0:35:29.799 Yeah, that's the biggest sticking point I have with this. 0:35:29.960 --> 0:35:30.840 Why the timing? 0:35:30.920 --> 0:35:31.080 Now? 0:35:31.120 --> 0:35:33.080 Why is it that Rob Manford is trying to save 0:35:33.200 --> 0:35:36.640 face and make these changes now? I mean, these are 0:35:36.640 --> 0:35:38.640 the changes that needed to be made. I'm glad that 0:35:38.680 --> 0:35:40.919 they're being made, but it's a shame that had to 0:35:40.960 --> 0:35:43.160 mark the death. You know, Matt always talks about this, 0:35:43.280 --> 0:35:46.239 giving people their flowers while they're alive. Yes, you know, 0:35:46.400 --> 0:35:49.279 don't wait to tell somebody a nice thing. No, don't 0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:51.480 wait to compliment them or tell them how much they 0:35:51.520 --> 0:35:54.800 mean to you, because you never know, you know, nothing's 0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:57.919 promised tomorrow. So it's you know, I'm happy for Pete 0:35:57.960 --> 0:36:00.720 Rose's family. They've been lobbying for this for a while. 0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:05.160 He will hopefully be remembered for the greatness that he 0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:08.120 brought to the sport. But you know, even if we 0:36:08.120 --> 0:36:10.239 get into the nitty gritty, Shannon, he was great as 0:36:10.239 --> 0:36:12.200 a player before he ever bet on the game as 0:36:12.200 --> 0:36:13.040 a manager, right. 0:36:13.200 --> 0:36:15.399 Yeah, and we're talking about the guy's playing career, We're 0:36:15.400 --> 0:36:17.400 not talking about what he did off the field. 0:36:17.760 --> 0:36:17.960 King. 0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:19.799 I mean, this is a guy's got more wins than 0:36:19.840 --> 0:36:23.200 anybody in American sports. Like, it's just it's it's a 0:36:23.320 --> 0:36:27.040 tragedy that this guy isn't even recognized right or wrong, 0:36:27.480 --> 0:36:28.600 in the Hall of Fame. 0:36:28.719 --> 0:36:31.160 But if I'm the family at this point, though, man, 0:36:31.280 --> 0:36:33.799 I would just be to the point where I'm going, 0:36:33.840 --> 0:36:34.759 now we don't even want to go. 0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:36.319 We don't even want Pete in the Hall of Fame. 0:36:36.360 --> 0:36:36.480 Now. 0:36:36.520 --> 0:36:38.640 You couldn't give him the honors while he was alive. 0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:41.279 I don't know how that works. I don't know that 0:36:41.320 --> 0:36:43.919 the family can block something like that happening. I don't 0:36:43.960 --> 0:36:47.160 know how that works. But if I had the ability to, 0:36:47.360 --> 0:36:49.640 and I was in his you know, the decision maker 0:36:50.280 --> 0:36:53.239 for Pete Rose, I would say, no, we don't want 0:36:53.320 --> 0:36:53.759 him in now. 0:36:53.880 --> 0:36:55.520 Forget it. You didn't want him in while he was alive. 0:36:55.520 --> 0:36:56.640 We don't want him in while he's. 0:36:56.520 --> 0:36:58.560 Dead, because I think that was a big part of 0:36:58.640 --> 0:37:00.920 like what Pete wanted his legacy. 0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:01.759 You know, I don't know. 0:37:01.960 --> 0:37:03.920 You know, Pete has done a lot of things off 0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:06.680 the diamond that you could say, you know, put him 0:37:06.680 --> 0:37:08.880 in a category where he should not be celebrated, and 0:37:08.920 --> 0:37:10.040 that's a whole nother argument. 0:37:10.080 --> 0:37:12.040 But again, though that goes with any of these guys. 0:37:12.080 --> 0:37:15.280 We don't know any of these athletes that people worship 0:37:15.320 --> 0:37:18.359 every day and you know, they're heroes and hung up 0:37:18.360 --> 0:37:21.839 on posters and you know, on the wall like like they're, 0:37:22.480 --> 0:37:24.239 you know, the greatest people. We don't know what they 0:37:24.239 --> 0:37:25.839 do off the field. We don't know any of these 0:37:25.840 --> 0:37:27.880 people personally. So are there people in the Hall of 0:37:27.920 --> 0:37:30.960 Fame that were probably terrible people? Probably so, especially not 0:37:31.040 --> 0:37:34.480 today's stand up guys. You brought up in base You 0:37:34.480 --> 0:37:35.840 brought up the nineties guys. What are you gonna do 0:37:35.840 --> 0:37:37.920 with all those guys in nineties? Gonna pretend that Mark McGuire, 0:37:37.960 --> 0:37:40.600 Sammy Sosa, Barry Bond, Roger Clements, We're gonna pretend those 0:37:40.640 --> 0:37:41.480 guys didn't exist. 0:37:42.280 --> 0:37:44.080 They were all cheating in the nineties. 0:37:43.880 --> 0:37:46.080 And no, and they broke rules that weren't rules at 0:37:46.080 --> 0:37:49.360 the time, right. They were taking substances that weren't banned. 0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:52.480 They were just not approved or banned, right. So, I 0:37:52.480 --> 0:37:54.759 mean that's a little murky, But at times, maybe you 0:37:54.800 --> 0:37:58.759 could argue that those guys are a fabric of baseball 0:37:58.920 --> 0:38:01.120 and the fact that they aren't celebrated for at least 0:38:01.160 --> 0:38:05.000 what their story was is the tragedy. But I texted 0:38:05.040 --> 0:38:06.480 you this story as soon as I saw it. And 0:38:06.480 --> 0:38:08.440 what did I say? I said, you called it yeah, 0:38:08.480 --> 0:38:10.759 because we knew this was going to happen, that he 0:38:10.800 --> 0:38:14.840 would be honored after he passed away, and it and 0:38:14.840 --> 0:38:15.800 it all came to fruition. Y. 0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:17.839 I think it's an absolute shame. We'll take your calls. 0:38:17.840 --> 0:38:19.279 Coming up next, We're Late for a Break eight five, 0:38:19.400 --> 0:38:20.879 nine to eighth, twenty two eighty seven. 0:38:20.920 --> 0:38:26.400 It's the ksrpre show, Joe. 0:38:26.440 --> 0:38:29.680 You know, Billy, some of these summer shows were struggling 0:38:29.760 --> 0:38:31.000 just to get through an hour. This is one of 0:38:31.080 --> 0:38:33.440 these shows where I feel like we could do two hours, 0:38:33.440 --> 0:38:35.839 maybe even three on a show like this today, so 0:38:35.840 --> 0:38:38.319 many things to talk about. We'll probably carry over some 0:38:38.440 --> 0:38:40.400 of this to tomorrow if we don't get to all 0:38:40.400 --> 0:38:41.160 the callers. 0:38:41.640 --> 0:38:44.440 Lick yesterday when I called it mayor Joe Greenberg the 0:38:44.480 --> 0:38:45.200 other day. 0:38:45.040 --> 0:38:48.040 Yeah, exactly. I got to mention this while we're talking baseball. 0:38:48.080 --> 0:38:50.440 A couple of things. First of all, how about my 0:38:50.520 --> 0:38:56.279 alma mater, Bellerman baseball. Bellerman University beats Louisville last night 0:38:56.440 --> 0:38:58.759 ten to nine. If you haven't seen that catch to 0:38:58.880 --> 0:39:00.960 end the game. It's one of the great catch just 0:39:01.000 --> 0:39:02.919 to end a game that I've seen in a long time. 0:39:02.920 --> 0:39:05.680 I've tweeted that out at Shannon of the dude. Bellerman 0:39:05.800 --> 0:39:08.480 with their first win over a ranked Division one opponent 0:39:08.560 --> 0:39:13.360 since I believe nineteen ninety one, maybe nineteen ninety But 0:39:13.880 --> 0:39:17.759 how about Bellerman knocking off number twenty one in the 0:39:17.760 --> 0:39:19.200 country Louisville last night. 0:39:19.719 --> 0:39:21.439 I didn't know it was thirty four to thirty five 0:39:21.520 --> 0:39:24.400 years since the last time Bellerman beat a ranked Division 0:39:24.440 --> 0:39:25.040 one opponent. 0:39:25.120 --> 0:39:26.320 Give it up, Yeah nights. 0:39:26.520 --> 0:39:28.480 Remember you know, they were D two for the longest time, 0:39:28.600 --> 0:39:30.360 just went D one recently, so you don't play a 0:39:30.360 --> 0:39:32.040 whole lot of D one schools to begin with. 0:39:32.680 --> 0:39:36.720 So congrats to the team who beat Louisville, a Louisville 0:39:36.719 --> 0:39:40.440 team that had beat Vandy earlier this year. That's Kentucky's 0:39:40.480 --> 0:39:42.800 next weekend series, so that gives you some hope that 0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:46.239 Kentucky can at least steal one from the Commodores and 0:39:46.880 --> 0:39:50.360 secure their spot in the NCAA Tournament. Kentucky getting a 0:39:50.360 --> 0:39:52.360 win over Northern Kentucky last night, that's right. One of 0:39:52.360 --> 0:39:53.479 the things on the Baseball Diamond. 0:39:53.560 --> 0:39:56.560 Kentucky Baseball's now one went away from having four consecutive 0:39:56.600 --> 0:40:00.000 thirty win seasons, so they can get one against Vandy, 0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:02.200 which you'll have. Let's get to the phones quickly. Only 0:40:02.200 --> 0:40:04.040 got a couple of minutes. Let's go to Raleigh. Hey, rolly, 0:40:04.040 --> 0:40:06.359 what's up, Hey guys. 0:40:06.400 --> 0:40:08.920 I have a really unpopular opinion about Pete Rose. I know, 0:40:09.000 --> 0:40:11.480 I'm sixty eight. I've been a Reds fan all my life. 0:40:11.560 --> 0:40:14.040 I love the Reds, still do. But it was not 0:40:14.440 --> 0:40:16.960 it was not secret when he was playing ball. What 0:40:17.000 --> 0:40:19.400 would happen if you bet on baseball? He was on 0:40:19.480 --> 0:40:22.440 every clubhouse wall in the league. He knew what the consequences, 0:40:22.440 --> 0:40:24.799 worried he did it anyway, So I think he got 0:40:24.800 --> 0:40:25.640 what he deserved. 0:40:25.680 --> 0:40:28.600 And but why, but why now? But why? Why now? 0:40:28.680 --> 0:40:31.000 Would they say, okay, now, that's okay that he bet 0:40:31.040 --> 0:40:33.160 on baseball. Now he's eligible, Like, if you want to, 0:40:33.160 --> 0:40:35.120 if that's your take, that's fine, but why not stay 0:40:35.160 --> 0:40:36.439 consistent till the end of time? 0:40:37.600 --> 0:40:39.680 I agree, I agree one hundred percent. I think they 0:40:39.680 --> 0:40:41.760 should not have lifted it, and I think it should 0:40:41.760 --> 0:40:44.479 still be enforced. And you know, I hate that because 0:40:44.480 --> 0:40:46.320 I love the Reds. I love the big Red Machine. 0:40:46.520 --> 0:40:47.800 But that's that's just how I feel. 0:40:48.480 --> 0:40:50.399 Thanks for the call. We appreciate it, Raleigh. 0:40:50.440 --> 0:40:51.440 And that's a fair opinion. 0:40:51.560 --> 0:40:53.920 I think some people didn't want to see Pete Rose 0:40:54.080 --> 0:40:56.360 give his Hall of Fame speech. Maybe he would go 0:40:56.360 --> 0:40:59.440 after major League Baseball a little bit, as people pointed 0:40:59.440 --> 0:40:59.959 out on the text. 0:41:00.239 --> 0:41:02.239 Maybe so that was a reason as well. 0:41:02.360 --> 0:41:04.759 Yeah again, like I'm finally, if you think betting on 0:41:04.800 --> 0:41:06.839 baseball is bad, and it is, it's against the rules. 0:41:06.840 --> 0:41:09.080 He broke the rules. He admitted that he broke the rules. 0:41:09.719 --> 0:41:11.399 That's fine, But then let's keep him. 0:41:11.320 --> 0:41:12.399 Out of the Hall of Fame. At this point. 0:41:12.480 --> 0:41:14.600 Let's not say now I lied about it for a while. 0:41:14.840 --> 0:41:16.279 I mean, yeah he did. He did. 0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:18.200 Yeah, I said that earlier. He lied about it and 0:41:18.239 --> 0:41:20.560 then finally came clean. I think you know, if there 0:41:20.560 --> 0:41:22.080 were a time that you were going to say, okay, 0:41:22.080 --> 0:41:24.879 we're going to forgive him, you would do it at 0:41:24.880 --> 0:41:27.560 that point after that interview, not wait until. 0:41:27.400 --> 0:41:28.000 All he dies. 0:41:28.080 --> 0:41:30.839 But no, I'm with you about the time. Yeah, we'll 0:41:30.880 --> 0:41:33.239 have to carry this over to the show tomorrow.
