Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show. Today.
Speaker 1: It's hump Day, Wednesday, March twenty sixth. I'm Billy Rutliche
Speaker 1: along with Shannon the Dude. Why don't you give us
Speaker 1: a call eight five nine two eight h two two
Speaker 1: eight seven.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: You can also Texas at five oh two two sixty
Speaker 1: five six six five six and is always The KSR
Speaker 1: Bri Show is brought to you by ital X Fine
Speaker 1: Italian Dining right here in Lexington the week of the
Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen. We've been getting you ready all week and
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it more today. Shannon the Dude is
Speaker 1: in Louisville. Good morning, man, what's up. It's good to
Speaker 1: see it.
Speaker 3: Hey, Yeah, good to be here, ready to rock.
Speaker 4: And tomorrow it augets going the Sweet sixteen just a
Speaker 4: day away from it from a kick it off, and
Speaker 4: of course we got the high School Sweet sixteen going
Speaker 4: on today.
Speaker 1: That's right. KSR will be broadcasting from Repperena today, so
Speaker 1: we'll hand it off to Matt Ryan and Drew at
Speaker 1: the Boys Sweet sixteen later today. Shannon, I'm at my
Speaker 1: house for two reasons. One, I have a bunch of
Speaker 1: ants in my Kenchin and spent about thirty minutes cleaning
Speaker 1: up ants this morning as soon as I woke up.
Speaker 1: And two, I'm afraid of the plethora of fifteen year
Speaker 1: olds now on the roads here in after Andy Basher
Speaker 1: signed it into law that you only have to be
Speaker 1: fifteen to get a permit. Shannon, I'm a little worried
Speaker 1: the roads are a little bit more dangerous today than
Speaker 1: they were just a couple days ago.
Speaker 3: It's a scary thought.
Speaker 4: Like I said yesterday on KSR, half the people driving
Speaker 4: shouldn't be on the road. I mean, there are some
Speaker 4: of the worst drivers I've ever seen right here in Louisville.
Speaker 4: I gotta I gotta tell you, Like I've been all
Speaker 4: over the place, but Louisville has some of the absolute
Speaker 4: worst drivers. Maybe that's because I'm like on the roads
Speaker 4: in Louisville more often than I am in other states.
Speaker 4: The man, I'm like, how do these people get their license?
Speaker 4: And sometimes I even say that about people that I know. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, like if I'm just being honest, like, man,
Speaker 4: like you need to go back and see if you
Speaker 4: could pass a driver's test, because I don't think you
Speaker 4: could right now if you had to go back.
Speaker 1: Now, if you transported me back to fifteen year old
Speaker 1: Billy R. Sports, I would loved this. I mean, I
Speaker 1: was ready for freedom. I wanted to get a car
Speaker 1: as soon as possible. This was my way of getting
Speaker 1: out of the house and hanging out with the boys.
Speaker 1: But as I've gotten older and maybe a little bit wiser, Shannon,
Speaker 1: that's debatable. I look back and think fifteen year old
Speaker 1: Billy our Sports doesn't need to be on the road. No,
Speaker 1: he's not mature enough. He's not ready. It's questionable if
Speaker 1: he's mature enough now. But you know what, Shan, I
Speaker 1: just I know what happens in other states. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure why I see the benefit until was it a
Speaker 1: caller or somebody texted in yesterday and said, insurance companies
Speaker 1: are going to be able to maybe charge you a
Speaker 1: little bit more money to add your fifteen year old
Speaker 1: to you to your new car plan.
Speaker 4: At the end, it's all about money. Like I've said before,
Speaker 4: the answer to nine out of ten questions in life.
Speaker 3: Money.
Speaker 4: That's what it all comes down to, chasing that dollar.
Speaker 4: So you know, I'm also you know I've said this before.
Speaker 4: It may be a controversial take, but I'm also for
Speaker 4: when you get to a certain age, I think.
Speaker 3: You should have to retake retest him.
Speaker 4: I do, I really do, because people go, oh, well,
Speaker 4: then you're you know, you're limiting people from traveling. Okay, well,
Speaker 4: if they can't pass a driver's test, I'm sorry, they
Speaker 4: don't belong on the road.
Speaker 3: They should not be driving. You shouldn't be And they.
Speaker 4: Say, well, you know, then they forced people to have
Speaker 4: to get buzzed. Well, okay, maybe you shouldn't be driving
Speaker 4: if you can't pass a driver's test.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: I don't know what that age is.
Speaker 4: I don't have that quite figured out, but I'm telling you, Billy,
Speaker 4: at a certain age, I think we should all have
Speaker 4: to take the test again, just to make sure you
Speaker 4: can still do it, because you don't have the same
Speaker 4: cognitive skills when you get older in life as you
Speaker 4: did when you were sixteen.
Speaker 1: No, I agree. I agree. Now, it's it's tough to
Speaker 1: take away that freedom from from somebody that's already been
Speaker 1: experiencing that for decades. But you know what, it's about
Speaker 1: the protection of others. Yeah, you know what, And if
Speaker 1: we could do like a simple vision test, if we
Speaker 1: can make sure that you're still reacting.
Speaker 4: To things they are doing. The vision thing like you
Speaker 4: do have to do a vision test.
Speaker 1: Now when you go to the DMV.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which I am one hundred percent for. Again, Well
Speaker 4: good again. If you can't see, you can't drive. I
Speaker 4: don't want blind people driving.
Speaker 1: Well, you make sure you get your real ID if
Speaker 1: you're planning to travel anytime soon. That's going to be
Speaker 1: coming up. That data is only in a couple months.
Speaker 1: But speaking of you know, money ruling the world twenty
Speaker 1: three in me selling people's DNA to get out of bankruptcy,
Speaker 1: I mean, I have an interesting story when it comes
Speaker 1: to some of these companies. But did you ever you know,
Speaker 1: swab the inside of your cheek and find out if
Speaker 1: you're half Cherokee, Indian or anything like that.
Speaker 4: I did, but it was I did, but it wasn't
Speaker 4: through twenty three and me it was through ancestry or.
Speaker 1: Well you're good, I think.
Speaker 3: Well until ancestry sells DNA.
Speaker 4: But yeah, you had to basically just I mean, it's
Speaker 4: kind of gross, but it's the only way you can
Speaker 4: do it. You have to spit into a test tube,
Speaker 4: seal it off, send it off, and then you get
Speaker 4: results back and you know, I can still go on
Speaker 4: there now and sort of piece together my family tree
Speaker 4: based off my DNA and every now and then kind
Speaker 4: of like what Drew was saying with twenty three and me,
Speaker 4: although I don't think mine goes into great detail like
Speaker 4: his does, where it says like, oh, you have a
Speaker 4: old Yeah, it doesn't. It doesn't tell me if I'm
Speaker 4: likely to bold. I can look into.
Speaker 1: Mirror like figure that out in past eight A.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it doesn't give you that, but it is kind
Speaker 4: of cool that, like every now and then it'll say like,
Speaker 4: here's a tip, this person may be in your family,
Speaker 4: and you can kind of research it and figure.
Speaker 3: Out if they actually are.
Speaker 4: Now. The thing about it is too there's like a
Speaker 4: free version and then there's a premium version. I haven't
Speaker 4: paid for the premium version, so you know, basically, I'm
Speaker 4: interested to an extent as to who's in my family,
Speaker 4: but don't ask me to pay twenty nine ninety nine
Speaker 4: every two months to find out because I'm not that interested.
Speaker 1: So you don't want to meet a cousin.
Speaker 4: Cousin like, I'll do the free version of it, but
Speaker 4: don't say, you know, if you want to see the gravestone,
Speaker 4: you gotta pay me thirty bucks.
Speaker 3: No, I'm not gonna see, I'm not gonna look at that.
Speaker 1: Well, there can be some negative consequences from something like this.
Speaker 1: I have a quick story. She and I have somebody
Speaker 1: that's very close in my life that took a ancestry
Speaker 1: dot Com test. They did it along with their brother
Speaker 1: that they lived a lot of their life with, and
Speaker 1: they found out that their brother was not their brother
Speaker 1: tho you were not related, and it's led to some
Speaker 1: family drama, and it's actually led to the brother not
Speaker 1: speaking to the close person in my life anymore. So
Speaker 1: it actually destroyed a relationship in a family when they
Speaker 1: found out they weren't related to each other for through
Speaker 1: this ancestry dot Com test. So there's a lot of
Speaker 1: twist and turns that can happen.
Speaker 4: So the brothers don't talk to each other and they
Speaker 4: don't talk to each other. But see, I don't know
Speaker 4: why that would change anything, because, yeah, I guess it
Speaker 4: would be upsetting to know that the person you thought
Speaker 4: was your brother is not actually your brother, But that
Speaker 4: doesn't change the relationship that you had with them. So Okay,
Speaker 4: they're not your brother now they're just your best friend.
Speaker 4: Or one of your closest friends.
Speaker 1: I think I think that this person is shallow enough
Speaker 1: to completely change the relationship because you find out that
Speaker 1: you're not related and then and think about, you know,
Speaker 1: the conversation then you did and then have with your father, right,
Speaker 1: You're like, what's going on? How are we not related?
Speaker 1: I mean it brings up some some sketchy histories at times.
Speaker 4: So yeah, that would be uh, the father would have
Speaker 4: some splaining to do. We say, like, Okay, why are
Speaker 4: you telling me this person is my brother.
Speaker 3: When clearly they're not.
Speaker 1: You're not kidding.
Speaker 3: Is there any chance though, that they ever get it wrong?
Speaker 4: I mean, I know DNA is DNA, but is there
Speaker 4: any chance that maybe you know, Billy Bob at the
Speaker 4: DNA factory switches somebody's DNA up with another person and
Speaker 4: gets it confused, and then all of a sudden you
Speaker 4: created this family drama.
Speaker 1: Sure, I mean there's got to be human error and
Speaker 1: everything that happens. Right, we are shifting closer to a
Speaker 1: more robotic age, But yeah, there there could be an issue.
Speaker 1: I'm sure maybe they mix up some of the results. Shannon.
Speaker 4: Imagine you're running people's lives because you got the spit,
Speaker 4: two balls switched around, and all of a sudden, now
Speaker 4: you've created family drama in two different families.
Speaker 1: I'm just hoping, like the big responsibility Elon doesn't buy
Speaker 1: twenty three and meters and then have our DNA or but.
Speaker 3: What would you do with it? That's the other thing,
Speaker 3: like even if you.
Speaker 4: Had it, Like you know, if you get on the internet.
Speaker 4: We've had this conversation about just your personal information. If
Speaker 4: you've ever bought anything on the internet, your personal information
Speaker 4: is out there.
Speaker 1: Whether you know.
Speaker 3: You can stick.
Speaker 4: Your head in the sand and pretended that it's not,
Speaker 4: but it is, like if anybody wants your information, it's
Speaker 4: out there. So I just kind of can see the
Speaker 4: fact that once you buy something online, you've opened up
Speaker 4: that can of worms. It's already out there. So okay,
Speaker 4: do what you want with the information. There's nothing I
Speaker 4: can do at this point to stop you. I don't
Speaker 4: like it that you could spread my information around and
Speaker 4: give it to third party companies, but at this point
Speaker 4: I've already put my information out there.
Speaker 3: It is what it is.
Speaker 4: It's kind of like this with DNA, Like I like,
Speaker 4: what are they going to do with my DNA? They're
Speaker 4: gonna create little Shannon the dudes running around.
Speaker 1: They're gonna make you a clone.
Speaker 3: Well, how can how can?
Speaker 1: How could like the sheep?
Speaker 3: How could more of me be a bad thing for
Speaker 3: this world?
Speaker 5: It is?
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, like, you know, if we had a
Speaker 4: billion of me, maybe the world would be a better place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know about that. There'd be a lot
Speaker 1: of secret parties going on nobody's invited to, and a.
Speaker 3: Lot of championship belts around with a lot.
Speaker 1: Of bands looking for gigs to play. Eight five nine
Speaker 1: two eight oh two two eight seven. If you'd like
Speaker 1: to join the Shay I join the show today. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at one of Shannon the Dude's secret groups are
Speaker 1: Bracket Challenge and Shannon Here. I am tied for second place.
Speaker 1: You look all the way down the list and find
Speaker 1: Shannon the Dude all the way in sixth place.
Speaker 3: That's awful, right?
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 3: Six out of six?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 5: Is?
Speaker 1: There only six people?
Speaker 4: I don't know I had the look my bracket's not
Speaker 4: I haven't. It's so bad, I haven't looked at it.
Speaker 3: I just want to.
Speaker 4: Act like that didn't happen, you know, Like you know,
Speaker 4: you get a bad bracket when after the first two
Speaker 4: rounds you just want to disassociate yourself with it and
Speaker 4: act like that's not even yours, Like I am, you
Speaker 4: know not, I'm gonna act like these people who had
Speaker 4: their DNA revealed and act like, you know, you don't
Speaker 4: have a brother.
Speaker 3: I'm act like I don't have a bracket.
Speaker 1: Now you are tied for last place, and I believe
Speaker 1: Sarah is up twenty points on your Oh wow, fifty
Speaker 1: to four thirty.
Speaker 3: There, dude, the shame. That's awful.
Speaker 4: Hey, we still got some I've still got some time.
Speaker 4: I've still got two out of my final four still alive.
Speaker 1: Saint John's and who is the other one that's out
Speaker 1: for you?
Speaker 3: I've already forgotten.
Speaker 4: Well, I had Alabama and Auburn in the final four,
Speaker 4: then they were in my championship game. Again, I haven't
Speaker 4: even looked at I don't want to look at it.
Speaker 4: Let's not talk about it, Let's move on to something else.
Speaker 1: Trying to forget it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm trying to forget.
Speaker 4: I've literally have forgotten the other team that I had
Speaker 4: in the final four at this point.
Speaker 1: That's all right, I understand I would too.
Speaker 3: Oh it was Clemson. It was Clemson, Clemson. Yeah, we
Speaker 3: lost to McNees in the first round.
Speaker 1: First very first round. Well, hey, the NCAA Tournament's been
Speaker 1: a lot of fun so far. And how about the
Speaker 1: stats we got yesterday that it's been the best viewership
Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety three, and average of nine point four
Speaker 1: million people have been watching this tournament and Kentucky is
Speaker 1: the highest rated games in both rounds. In the first
Speaker 1: round they average three point eight million viewers. In the
Speaker 1: second round versus Illinois, ten point three million people watched
Speaker 1: that game on average. Going back to the adage, Kentucky
Speaker 1: is the needle, Shannon, they are the biggest straw in
Speaker 1: college basketball. That BBN effect as well. I think all
Speaker 1: those millions of people watching were on pins and needles,
Speaker 1: at least if you were in Kentucky.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's good to see that college basketball
Speaker 4: is still popular. Everybody thought that, oh, NIL and the
Speaker 4: transferred portal, it's going to ruin everything. By the way
Speaker 4: I see people saying, it seems to be like a
Speaker 4: popular take this year that the NIL and transfer portal
Speaker 4: has killed the idea of a Cinderella team.
Speaker 3: And I think that's absolutely nonsense, Billy.
Speaker 4: I think that it's just the fact that this year's
Speaker 4: tournament happens to be very chalky. I don't think it's
Speaker 4: because of NIL or the transfer portal. I mean, let's
Speaker 4: just look back to last year. Did the transfer portal
Speaker 4: and NIL exist?
Speaker 3: I believe it. Did. Anybody remember Oakland beating Kentucky?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you know, I just think, you know, Matt
Speaker 4: has said this, and I totally agree.
Speaker 3: The tournament is completely random.
Speaker 4: We could restart this tournament this year right now, and
Speaker 4: I would almost guarantee you that the We're going to
Speaker 4: have completely different results.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 4: The blue Bloods may move on like the top of
Speaker 4: you know, the Auburns, the Dukes may still move on.
Speaker 4: But I would say if we restarted the tournament today,
Speaker 4: we would have different results. We would have other upsets
Speaker 4: that would happen.
Speaker 1: Well. I mean, was NC State in eleven seed last
Speaker 1: year when they made the final four with mister Burns
Speaker 1: who took over America. I mean Miami recently made a run.
Speaker 1: I think they really used nil to get a team
Speaker 1: from the portal. You know, I think there is some
Speaker 1: a little bit of concern that the Western Kentucky's best
Speaker 1: talented players will move on to a better school after
Speaker 1: one year. But look, I mean that doesn't make the
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament like a less interesting draw if one mid
Speaker 1: major isn't going to be able to make it, right,
Speaker 1: you actually get teams that have better players, maybe even
Speaker 1: overall better teams. And like Matt's point yesterday, the Cinderella
Speaker 1: story still happens with the players, right. I mean, Mark
Speaker 1: Sears coming over from Ohio has a chance to make
Speaker 1: his second Final four. I mean, these guys, maybe it
Speaker 1: just becomes much more individual driven than it does overall team.
Speaker 4: And you make the point about a Western Kentucky player,
Speaker 4: Let's say, who has a really good year and moves
Speaker 4: on to another school. Okay, Well, if Western Kentucky was
Speaker 4: good enough to get a player to begin with who's
Speaker 4: good enough to move on to a bigger school, who's
Speaker 4: to say Western Kentucky can't turn around the next year
Speaker 4: and get that same type of player who's there for
Speaker 4: a year.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: So I just don't buy the idea that nil and
Speaker 4: transfer portal was killing the NCAA tournament and we don't
Speaker 4: see cinderellas because of that, because we still do. And
Speaker 4: here's one thing that's always been consistent. No matter how
Speaker 4: deep a run a Cinderella team makes, the blue Bloods
Speaker 4: always win it. At the end of the day, the
Speaker 4: blue Blood's always win. You Know, we had like Duke
Speaker 4: and Butler, when Butler was you know, coming out of
Speaker 4: nowhere and made the championship game that they didn't win
Speaker 4: the whole thing.
Speaker 3: Duke still won at the end.
Speaker 1: Yeah, normally, the the better team wins out in this
Speaker 1: tournament despite all the randomness. You know, we hear coaches
Speaker 1: like Rick Patina say he's not going to recruit high
Speaker 1: school players anymore. Well, that leads a void for a
Speaker 1: team like Western Kentucky to go recruit those high school players.
Speaker 1: You get a higher caliber of high school player at
Speaker 1: that point. So there's benefits and you know, negatives.
Speaker 4: And I don't think there's like one way that you
Speaker 4: have to build a roster in order to win a
Speaker 4: championship at your school. I mean, I think you can
Speaker 4: do it with one and done's. I think you can
Speaker 4: do it with the transfer portal. I think you can
Speaker 4: do it with the combination of freshman and the transfer portal.
Speaker 4: So I don't think that there's like one be all
Speaker 4: end all way that you have to do it in
Speaker 4: order to win a championship, because we've seen it done
Speaker 4: multiple ways. We've seen it one and done with Kentucky
Speaker 4: and Duke. We've seen the year Baylor won it with
Speaker 4: all transfers.
Speaker 1: So Kentucky earned a Moniker after making the Sweet sixteen,
Speaker 1: the first team ever to make the Sweet sixteen with
Speaker 1: zero returning points from a year ago. That might become
Speaker 1: much more common as we progress through the years, don't
Speaker 1: you think I think it will?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I'll look at like NC State and
Speaker 4: Will Wade, you know, who's going to go in there
Speaker 4: and probably build a team, and he's gonna do it
Speaker 4: with transfers, and he's probably gonna have a really good
Speaker 4: NC State team next year. Now, let's say that team
Speaker 4: makes the NCAA tournament, wins two games. All of a sudden,
Speaker 4: you're in the Sweet sixteen. You just did the same
Speaker 4: thing that Mark Pope did.
Speaker 1: And that's all you have to do, right to get
Speaker 1: the attention of so many people. You win one or
Speaker 1: two games in the tournament, and I think it just
Speaker 1: completely changes the perception of your program. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think it really does A five nine two O two
Speaker 1: two eight seven, Texas at five h two two six
Speaker 1: five sixty six five six, we'll talk about Will Wade
Speaker 1: and maybe some of the other new hires in the
Speaker 1: world of college basketball. There is a bottle of bourbon
Speaker 1: that sold at the highest price ever for alcohol post
Speaker 1: prohibition era. I'll give you the price of that Pappy
Speaker 1: van Winkle that sold at auction, and much more randomness
Speaker 1: on the way on a hump Day edition of the
Speaker 1: ksrpre Show. We'll be right back. All right, welcome back.
Speaker 1: It is the KSR pre Show. Billy and the Dude
Speaker 1: joining this. We're having some fun. One person says, don't
Speaker 1: forget twenty three meters does have Drew Franklin's DNA, So
Speaker 1: who knows what they'll do with that. Like you said, Chane,
Speaker 1: I don't know what you can do with DNA, but
Speaker 1: it's the fact that they have my DNA that just
Speaker 1: makes me uneasy.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, but I guess they
Speaker 3: could clone you.
Speaker 1: You know, fifty years from now, they'll they'll have everything
Speaker 1: of me, right the DNA, every Facebook post I've had
Speaker 1: since I was raised on the platform, since I was
Speaker 1: eight years old. Shannon, it is the privacy we give
Speaker 1: away is a lot.
Speaker 3: What if they could create you know they can do
Speaker 3: these or what are they called.
Speaker 1: I'm drawing a huh clones.
Speaker 4: Well it's not just a clone, but like you know
Speaker 4: where they have like concerts with like dead hologram holograms.
Speaker 3: Thank you. I couldn't think of the word.
Speaker 4: What if they had a hologram of Billy r Sports
Speaker 4: that could continue on years after you're gone and still
Speaker 4: do a radio show every day.
Speaker 3: I mean that's something that could I mean that.
Speaker 4: Sounds wild right now that with AI and yeah, you
Speaker 4: can mimic your voice and have a hologram of you.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean fifty years from now, is it
Speaker 1: that far fetch?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: But no is AI going to replace talk radio host Shannon.
Speaker 1: I know they're coming for a lot of jobs, But
Speaker 1: don't you feel like we bring something that computers can't?
Speaker 4: Yeah, like a good opinion. Here's the great thing about AI,
Speaker 4: Like it's still not trustworthy. You can jump on AI
Speaker 4: and it can do a lot of cool things, but
Speaker 4: it can also.
Speaker 3: Get a lot of things wrong.
Speaker 4: Sure, because I'll just test it out every now and
Speaker 4: then and I'm like, Nope, that's not true. You can
Speaker 4: even get on there and ask it questions about yourself.
Speaker 1: Oh have you been doing that?
Speaker 3: I have before?
Speaker 4: I have before, And it's like, oh, you know, Shannon,
Speaker 4: the dude is this and this, and he's on this station.
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, I'm not. You know.
Speaker 4: So it doesn't fully know what it's talking about. That's good,
Speaker 4: you know, the dummer we keep ai, the better off
Speaker 4: it is for us.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of somebody that doesn't fully know what they're
Speaker 1: talking about, can we crap on Dan Dockicch for a second, Shannon,
Speaker 1: because in her interaction with our guy Corey Price online
Speaker 1: yesterday was depicable, unbelievable. I can't even repeat what was
Speaker 1: said on the air, but we know the kinde of
Speaker 1: person Corey Price is. And for Dan Dockich to attack
Speaker 1: our guy like that yesterday saying that Corey, you know,
Speaker 1: Corey likes to share photos of people when something happens.
Speaker 1: On KSR, he shared a photo of Dan Dakich, a
Speaker 1: namely nerdy looking photo of dokitch. He thought Corey Price
Speaker 1: tweeted him a crude common in his dms and just
Speaker 1: went off on the kid. He did delete the tweet,
Speaker 1: but never apologized. Told Corey his apology was accepted, but
Speaker 1: never apologize in the things that you already knew. Dan
Speaker 1: Dokich is a pos Shannon, Yeah.
Speaker 4: And trying to tag like the University of Kentucky and
Speaker 4: try to get him into trouble. I mean, come on, dude,
Speaker 4: what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Like? You unbelievable And you know what, I'm glad Big
Speaker 1: Blue Nations took up for Corey. You saw the best
Speaker 1: of BBN stick up for one of their own yesterday.
Speaker 1: Ridiculous That outkit gives that guy a platform nowadays. And look,
Speaker 1: you're not surprised, right You've heard about Dan Dockicch in
Speaker 1: the past, but I feel like with that needed to
Speaker 1: be said about our guy Corey today.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 4: And it happened right there when we were in the
Speaker 4: hometown of Dockage in Merrillville, Indiana. But you're right, man,
Speaker 4: Dan Doggas just seems to want to get into fights
Speaker 4: with everybody on social media. So I just don't have
Speaker 4: the time or energy to sit there and argue with
Speaker 4: people on social media who I don't even know, who
Speaker 4: have twenty two followers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and unfortunately the Internet has given a platform to
Speaker 1: despicable people like that. Speaking of tools, Dan Hurley and
Speaker 1: the SID. Wow talk about drama. I mean the SID
Speaker 1: threatening to ruin a reporter's life if they do not
Speaker 1: delete a video.
Speaker 2: Shannon.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, I think this happens much more than you think
Speaker 1: it does.
Speaker 3: Probably.
Speaker 1: So yeah, here's the thing that was banned from an
Speaker 1: athletic department.
Speaker 3: These people are sensitive, Okay.
Speaker 4: So Dan Hurley is saying what he said, Fine, whatever,
Speaker 4: he's a goober. If you just let that go, Billy,
Speaker 4: we all live in this twenty four hour news cycle.
Speaker 1: It'll be gone.
Speaker 4: It'll be gone, we'll forget about it. It'll never be
Speaker 4: talked about probably ever again. But then when you are
Speaker 4: so I don't know, like conscious about the whole thing,
Speaker 4: self conscious about it that you have the SID or
Speaker 4: whoever it was, go after this reporter and threaten them
Speaker 4: to take it down.
Speaker 3: Now all of a sudden, it's a story again. So
Speaker 3: now it's research.
Speaker 4: It's back at the top of the twenty four hour
Speaker 4: news cycle again, and now here we are talking about
Speaker 4: it and it's got a big magnifying glass on it
Speaker 4: now because they didn't just let it go, Like I
Speaker 4: don't think it's that big of a deal. Like what
Speaker 4: he said, he said it in the heat of the moment,
Speaker 4: he said, I hope they don't screw you like they
Speaker 4: screwed us, right, okay, said all of us will go, ah,
Speaker 4: you're a big whiny baby, and then we'll move on.
Speaker 4: But then when you go back and go, oh, you
Speaker 4: better take that down or we're going to you know,
Speaker 4: ruin your career. Now, all of a sudden, it makes
Speaker 4: what it was a little story into a much bigger
Speaker 4: story for no reason.
Speaker 1: Now I don't have the specifics on this, but I
Speaker 1: would argue that that was probably just the SID doing
Speaker 1: that on his own and not even Dan Hurley saying
Speaker 1: go and get that video taken down. In that position,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's very tough. It's it's it's time consuming,
Speaker 1: it is and there are some great people that do
Speaker 1: the position. I mean, I think mainly of Dead More
Speaker 1: that does it with Kentucky and Susan Lax. But you know,
Speaker 1: I think there's so many sids throughout the country that
Speaker 1: want to protect their own and they would go to
Speaker 1: the lengths of threatening reporters like that.
Speaker 4: I mean, but Dan Hurley, I mean, he doesn't seem
Speaker 4: to worry about being protected too much. He comes out
Speaker 4: and openly says ridiculous remarks.
Speaker 1: You know, talk about like the Danae control that they've
Speaker 1: got to do for having.
Speaker 4: So who says that Dan Hurley even wanted that video
Speaker 4: taken down? Maybe he did, but we don't know that
Speaker 4: maybe he didn't. So if you're the SID, what you're
Speaker 4: doing I think is way worse than what Dan Hurley said.
Speaker 4: I think what Dan Hurley said, I mean, I think
Speaker 4: he's a whiner, but I'm fine with what he said.
Speaker 3: It doesn't offend me.
Speaker 4: But when you start you take that and you threaten
Speaker 4: somebody else, say you're going to ruin their career if
Speaker 4: they don't take it down, that is way more egregious
Speaker 4: than what Dan Hurley did.
Speaker 1: And if you want to bet on Dan Hurley not
Speaker 1: winning another national championship, you can do it on draft
Speaker 1: That's right.

Speaker 1: in much more nonsense on the way here on the
Speaker 1: KSI appreciate. Welcome back Billy and the dude. Here. We'll
Speaker 1: hand it off to KSR. At ten am they are
Speaker 1: live at rapp Arena for the boys Sweet sixteen KHSAA tournament,
Speaker 1: where there will be four games today getting started at
Speaker 1: eleven am. It's a Dare County versus Bowling Green. A
Speaker 1: little bit later in today at six pm it's south
Speaker 1: Oldham versus Danville Christian. I'm gonna go to that game, Shannon,
Speaker 1: so oh are you okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I gotta support the Alma mater, right the Dragons. They
Speaker 1: win in overtime against north Oldham they make the Sweet sixteen,
Speaker 1: so I will be there. One person says on the
Speaker 1: text line five h two two sixty five six six
Speaker 1: five six does the talk of no more Cinderellas fuel
Speaker 1: the fire to expand the tournament.
Speaker 3: No no, no.
Speaker 4: No, no again, Like I think if we played again
Speaker 4: this tournament, you would have more Cinderellas.
Speaker 3: It just so happened to be that this one.
Speaker 4: Everybody's taking this one year and acting like it happens
Speaker 4: like this every year, like this is the first year
Speaker 4: since win what was the year twenty seventeen that it's
Speaker 4: been this chalky and people are acting like the transfer
Speaker 4: portal and nil just started this year, like we've got
Speaker 4: other years to base it off of. This is not
Speaker 4: our only sample, but that's what people are taking it
Speaker 4: as well. We don't have enough Cinderellas in the Sweet sixteen, so.
Speaker 1: What it's fine. And look, I mean when a Cinderella
Speaker 1: does win, now look at the opportunities that's presented to
Speaker 1: the players, Like the Doug Edits and the Jack Goldkiecas
Speaker 1: are immediately able to get ANIL deals and to improve
Speaker 1: their post playing career. So look, it's beneficial to the
Speaker 1: Cinderellas if they can win the game.
Speaker 4: I believe Jack Golkie is still playing, probably because of
Speaker 4: that run that they.
Speaker 1: Went on at one game Yeah, him on the map,
Speaker 1: probably enough for a professional team in Lithuanian.
Speaker 3: No, what's Doug Edert doing? Is Doug Edert still playing?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but everybody brings up Jack Goldkey as
Speaker 1: this NCAA tournament legend. They lost in the next round
Speaker 1: after Kentucky. It was Doug edit in Saint Peter's that
Speaker 1: made the Elite eight, right right, I mean that guy
Speaker 1: is the one I feel like I should get some
Speaker 1: more love. Speaking of college basketball, before we get to
Speaker 1: the funds, we'll get to you here in just a second.
Speaker 1: Tom Izzo had an interesting quote yesterday. The transferportal opened
Speaker 1: this week. You know, there's gonna be a lot of
Speaker 1: news about who's Kentucky's looking out, who could be on
Speaker 1: the roster next year. Tom Izzo's taking a different approach,
Speaker 1: he said in his press conference yesterday. I'm gonna worry
Speaker 1: today about the guys I've got in the program, and
Speaker 1: that's it. If that me later, so.
Speaker 3: Be it interesting strategy. I mean maybe about your roster
Speaker 3: next year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it would have to be hard as
Speaker 4: a coach when you're in the sweet sixteen trying to
Speaker 4: focus on your next opponent to have to go through
Speaker 4: and have meetings with everybody and kind of see, okay,
Speaker 4: are you planning on staying or going? Maybe they already
Speaker 4: had those meetings. I think that that would probably be
Speaker 4: the smartest thing to do. Sit down after the regular
Speaker 4: season's over, and maybe he's already done this. Maybe that's
Speaker 4: why he's saying, I'm going to focus on my team,
Speaker 4: but have an individual meeting with each player and say, hey,
Speaker 4: where's your head at. What do you think are you
Speaker 4: going to come back next year or not? You know,
Speaker 4: get a soft verbal agreement.
Speaker 1: I guess, right, just that can change. But you just
Speaker 1: want to get on the same page initially, right Like,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you just want to keep a constant communication
Speaker 1: with the guys. But it's tough. I mean I feel
Speaker 1: for Tom a little bit here, and he's the last
Speaker 1: of a dying breed, right you think of these legendary
Speaker 1: coaches that have already transitioned out of the game, he
Speaker 1: is one of very few left doing it.
Speaker 4: While we're talking about Tom's I saw your buddy Tom
Speaker 4: Crean at the game. Yeah, and he is. You know,
Speaker 4: we talked about this on KSR. I don't think we
Speaker 4: mentioned it on the pre show. He just seems like,
Speaker 4: you know, we've always said to Tom Green's such a
Speaker 4: nerdy guy, but he seems like kind of a cool guy,
Speaker 4: like behind the scenes, like he was walking up and
Speaker 4: down the hallway and he doesn't know me at all,
Speaker 4: and he's looking over at Ryan and I, Hey, guys,
Speaker 4: how you doing. You know, like just the most happy,
Speaker 4: go lucky guy and just very friendly, the type of
Speaker 4: guy that will.
Speaker 3: Come up and approach you.
Speaker 4: You know, there's some of these coaches who are so
Speaker 4: pretentious and you know, think they're better than everybody else.
Speaker 4: It seems, or at least puts off that vibe and
Speaker 4: maybe aren't is approachable. Tom Crean seems like the most
Speaker 4: approachable guy ever.
Speaker 1: No, he is. And that's how it started with me.
Speaker 1: I incorrectly reported something about him in the Western Kentucky job.
Speaker 1: He reached out to me to say that that was false,
Speaker 1: to you know, explain things a little bit. We struck
Speaker 1: up a conversation. Now he's become a multiple KASR pre
Speaker 1: show coast.
Speaker 4: So I just want to say, maybe we were wrong
Speaker 4: about Tom Crean all along. I still think it's a
Speaker 4: little weird that he kissed his son and on the
Speaker 4: lips all right, But other than that, I think Tom
Speaker 4: Crean's kind of a cool guy.
Speaker 1: Oh look, Tom Brady did the same thing, so you know,
Speaker 1: elite winners in their sports use weird things sometimes. And
Speaker 1: looking forward to having Tom Crean on, You've got a
Speaker 1: vacation coming up. Despite all these great travel trips you
Speaker 1: get to go on, you've still got vacation days to
Speaker 1: take and and I think we're gonna have Tom back
Speaker 1: on one of those days. So looking forward didn't having
Speaker 1: Crean back on. Let's go to the phones though, eight
Speaker 1: five nine two two eight seven. Who is up first?
Speaker 3: Dude, Let's go to Joy.
Speaker 5: Hey, Joy, Hey Joy, Hey guys. Just two quick things.
Speaker 5: I live in Jefferson County, and I'm with Shannon on this.
Speaker 5: There are no stop signs. They get treated as yields,
Speaker 5: and the yield signs, if you're not half are up
Speaker 5: on that person. They're going first me, first generation. Yep.
Speaker 4: They take the stop sign as a suggestion, like you know,
Speaker 4: maybe I won't.
Speaker 5: Yes. My second thing is I am passionate about a
Speaker 5: doe THEO he needs to get in the portal coach.
Speaker 5: Pope needs to contact him. That guy was a living,
Speaker 5: breathing Wildcat his entire life. He never wanted to play
Speaker 5: anywhere else. And I think Cal maybe convinced him, Hey dude,
Speaker 5: there's no roster. What are you going to be doing?
Speaker 5: And I just I just think it may have been
Speaker 5: somewhat attached to nil money. Well, now we have that.
Speaker 5: I think thero as a senior deserves to play for
Speaker 5: a different coach. See what somebody besides Cal And I
Speaker 5: don't know who's coaching in Arkansas this year. I won't
Speaker 5: take it all the way from Cal. But you know,
Speaker 5: they gave him a new jacket for something.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I mean, first of all would come
Speaker 4: down to, is a dude wanting to come back to Kentucky.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: You know, he chose to go with Cali Perry. Cal left, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean he chose to leave, so, you know.
Speaker 1: Right from but then he joined Callighan in Arkansas. It
Speaker 1: is an interesting situation.
Speaker 4: Yeahs finally, yeah, go ahead, Well this is this is
Speaker 4: my final thing.
Speaker 5: Kentucky is gonna beat Tennessee.
Speaker 4: I love it all right, joy thank you, thank you,
Speaker 4: thank you so much. Kentucky's gonna beat Tennessee because Joyce
Speaker 4: said so. And that's the bottom linea, do you need
Speaker 4: a better reason? No, Joyce says they're gonna win.
Speaker 3: They're gonna win.
Speaker 1: I would love to see a do theater at THEO
Speaker 1: back in the Blue and White. John cala Perry said
Speaker 1: that he will be available to play in Arkansas game
Speaker 1: versus Texas Tech. Will only play about twelve to fifteen minutes,
Speaker 1: but he is available. I'm glad he's having succession and
Speaker 1: I am. I don't know why I liked him as
Speaker 1: much as maybe joy did, but I did.
Speaker 4: You know, we want these players to think that, you know,
Speaker 4: they love being at Kentucky, and sometimes it comes down
Speaker 4: to when a coach leaves like cali Perry, did you
Speaker 4: come to Kentucky because it's Kentucky or did you come
Speaker 4: to Kentucky because it's John Calipery?
Speaker 1: Right, And you know John cali Perry used just moving down.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's what he said.
Speaker 4: You know, we would love to think that they're all
Speaker 4: here because of Kentucky and they love the state as
Speaker 4: much as we do. But sometimes this that's just not
Speaker 4: the reality.
Speaker 1: Let's take another call. Who's next, dude?
Speaker 3: John?
Speaker 2: Good morning, John, Well, good morning, how are you today?
Speaker 2: All right? This is John from Greenville, just one one
Speaker 2: the couple things here. For one thing, the stop signs,
Speaker 2: I always thought they just meant slowly turned onto pavement.
Speaker 3: Well that's what a lot of people apparently think.
Speaker 4: If you've seen some driving around the Lowell area, they're
Speaker 4: the worst.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's even that way in these small towns too.
Speaker 2: It's nothing new anywhere. One another thing is if we
Speaker 2: do get a hologram of Billy, who knows who would
Speaker 2: he meant to work at one hour day that he does?
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you could just sign off and you know, get
Speaker 4: a flat payment, but to be able to use Billy's hologram.
Speaker 5: There you go.
Speaker 2: But the main reason I called I didn't know how
Speaker 2: proper you was. Shannon, my wife last night, sitting getting
Speaker 2: ready to supper, said, how big is Shannon the dude?
Speaker 2: She is an avid workout with Body here at home.
Speaker 2: She does it about six workouts a week. And we
Speaker 2: saw where you have teamed up with them and are
Speaker 2: promoting Body, and we saw your psychology. Yeah, posts, so
Speaker 2: we know how serious you are. And then really you
Speaker 2: need to get with the need to get with Shannon. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he can take your place.
Speaker 3: It'd be my tag team. Partner.
Speaker 4: Me and Billy are gonna get swow. But yeah, John,
Speaker 4: that's what we call man. I appreciate it.
Speaker 3: So yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean the affiliation thing with body has been great
Speaker 4: for me because I mean, I'm look, here's the thing, like,
Speaker 4: I've always been relatively healthy, but when you get into
Speaker 4: your forties, you can't eat the way that you did
Speaker 4: when you're in your thirties and twenties. You're gonna find
Speaker 4: this out one day when you get old enough.
Speaker 1: Billy, not me.
Speaker 3: Your metabolism is still going well.
Speaker 4: But I just, you know, decided to commit to trying
Speaker 4: to live a healthier lifestyle. I've only been doing it
Speaker 4: for like twelve weeks. So it's not like I don't
Speaker 4: eat badly.
Speaker 5: I do.
Speaker 4: I did on that trip, But you know, it's just
Speaker 4: like a thing where I'm just trying to get focused
Speaker 4: on my health a little bit more and kind of
Speaker 4: posting my journey.
Speaker 3: You can follow along on my social media.
Speaker 1: Well look, man, I imagine if I was backstage at
Speaker 1: OVW as scrawny as you are, and that's all those
Speaker 1: big wrestlers, I would feel self conscious too.
Speaker 4: And now it's not a self conscious thing. It's just
Speaker 4: I want to be healthy thing. But you know, if
Speaker 4: I bulk up a little bit and you know, get
Speaker 4: bigger than some of the wrestlers backstage, that's that's a
Speaker 4: good thing too.
Speaker 3: It's not because of that though.
Speaker 1: No, it's not. Okay, all right, well, I'm glad you
Speaker 1: made that that clear. I do want to talk about
Speaker 1: Kentucky Tennessee for a second. They are in the Sweet
Speaker 1: sixteen and we'll play on Friday in Indianapolis, Shannon, I
Speaker 1: want to go through the two games that Kentucky and
Speaker 1: Tennessee have already played and maybe some similarities between the two. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, let's go back to the game in Knoxville
Speaker 1: on January twenty eighth. Kentucky wins seventy eight to seventy three.
Speaker 1: Lamont Butler doesn't play the entire game, and Andrew Carr
Speaker 1: only plays two minutes. Remember he has that back injury.
Speaker 1: He goes and tries to test it out, has to
Speaker 1: go to the sideline and can barely sit down. Jackson
Speaker 1: Robinson scored seventeen points, hitting four to three pointers. Ansley
Speaker 1: Albanor had four to three pointers as well for twelve points.
Speaker 1: Kentucky was twelve of twenty four from three while Tennessee
Speaker 1: was eleven of forty five. Kentucky not only shoots fifty
Speaker 1: percent from three, but also from the field twenty five
Speaker 1: of fifty and they win by five in Knoxville. Once again,
Speaker 1: that was a good win.
Speaker 3: That was a great win.
Speaker 4: And you know those first two stats you gave me,
Speaker 4: I'm going, okay, if you just gave me those first
Speaker 4: two stats, only say those two again.
Speaker 1: Is it Butler out and car two minutes?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say there's no way Kentucky wins that game,
Speaker 4: especially on the road.
Speaker 3: They get blown out.
Speaker 4: But then you throw in the fact that Kentucky held
Speaker 4: Tennessee to eleven.
Speaker 3: Of forty five. That's how they won the game right there.
Speaker 4: Now, I don't know that that's going to happen again
Speaker 4: in this game coming up on Friday night. I would
Speaker 4: not expect Tennessee to shoot that many, but I think
Speaker 4: Kentucky got up on them and maybe Tennessee started filling
Speaker 4: the pressure trying to come back.
Speaker 3: How do you do that?
Speaker 4: You just, you know, knock down a bunch of threes,
Speaker 4: and none of them were following that night. So I
Speaker 4: just don't think that Tennessee's gonna take that same approach
Speaker 4: in this third game.
Speaker 1: So Kentucky wins in Knoxville. They go to lose against
Speaker 1: Arkansas rep Areena the very next game, but then Kentucky
Speaker 1: goes back and plays Tennessee again on February eleventh. They
Speaker 1: win seventy five to sixty four. Jackson Robinson does not
Speaker 1: play in the game, but Ansley Albanor hits another some
Speaker 1: more three pointers. He scores thirteen points. Kentucky goes twelve
Speaker 1: of twenty four from three to once again twelve of
Speaker 1: twenty four in both games versus Tennessee, but Tennessee goes
Speaker 1: only three of eighteen from three. In that game, Trent
Speaker 1: Noah comes off the bench and scores eleven. Travis Perry
Speaker 1: comes off the bench, scores eight, and Kentucky wins seventy
Speaker 1: five to sixty four in rep Arena.
Speaker 4: So you add up those three point shooting numbers. Let's say, see, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's fourteen of sixty two?
Speaker 3: Am I right? Is my math? Right?
Speaker 1: Uh? Sixty three?
Speaker 3: Okay, fourteen of sixty three.
Speaker 1: Fourteen of sixty three?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is so wow.
Speaker 4: If I'm Kentucky, that's the number I'm looking at right there.
Speaker 4: Let's lock down on their three point shooters. Let's make
Speaker 4: them continue to shoot a bad percentage as they have
Speaker 4: in the first two games.
Speaker 3: You do that, you're gonna win this game.
Speaker 1: But they can't shoot that bad again.
Speaker 3: Oh right, Like, well, who said why do you say that?
Speaker 1: I just I mean, it can't be that bad again.
Speaker 3: Like happened twice, Why can't happen a third time?
Speaker 1: I mean maybe? I mean Zekai Ziegler just has not
Speaker 1: played well versus Kentucky, and maybe it's a it's an
Speaker 1: actual thing. He just tries too hard when he plays
Speaker 1: the Cats.
Speaker 3: I think they've just done it.
Speaker 4: Kentucky has done a great job defensively on Lanier and Ziggler,
Speaker 4: and I think that's why.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe, well, you know, Kentucky's gonna eat their weed
Speaker 1: to Bix. Then I don't. I don't know if Tennessee
Speaker 1: has a change.
Speaker 4: I am hearing some really loud singing and I don't
Speaker 4: know where it's coming from, like.
Speaker 1: The I think it's in the building. Who could be
Speaker 1: singing right now? Maybe Tony Vannetti as he gets ready
Speaker 1: to start, or no, he's he's he should be on
Speaker 1: the air.
Speaker 3: I think we've got a live perform Is there somebody performing.
Speaker 3: I can hear them on the air. Tell them be quiet, Paul,
Speaker 3: do you.
Speaker 1: Know what do you remember the Walmart yodeler kid came
Speaker 1: our building? Yeah, oh that was great.
Speaker 3: What was his name something Ramsey?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you're right, that's his last name. What is
Speaker 1: his name?
Speaker 4: Well, I throw me off when I heard somebody singing,
Speaker 4: because you know, like at our old studio, which was
Speaker 4: much bigger, we used to have like an auditorium where
Speaker 4: they would have uh, you know, artist Mason Ramsey. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we would have like every week somebody would be coming
Speaker 4: in and doing live performances. But I think this is
Speaker 4: the first for this building. And then sound carry is
Speaker 4: really well, so much that I can hear it from
Speaker 4: the other side of the small building that I'm in
Speaker 4: through my headphones right now.
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of celebs and musicians to come
Speaker 1: through the old iHeart building during the days, but I
Speaker 1: never felt like I was brushing shoulders with celebrities. When
Speaker 1: Mason Ramsey came in and started doing that yodeling. I
Speaker 1: mean that was right when the Walmart video had came out.
Speaker 1: Like he was touring. He had a big tour bus.
Speaker 1: He brought in.
Speaker 4: Trying to think like the coolest celebrities that I've seen,
Speaker 4: Like in the station studio, we had Cheryl Crow come
Speaker 4: in one time.
Speaker 3: That was pretty cool.
Speaker 4: That is, we had we had Stiffler's mom, who's now
Speaker 4: like she's everywhere. She's on White Lotus, She's on like
Speaker 4: all these Discover Card commercials and like she's had a
Speaker 4: resurgence in her career.
Speaker 1: What was she doing there? Was she just promoted?
Speaker 4: I have no idea, I can't remember, but she was,
Speaker 4: she was there. I remember the Turtle Man.
Speaker 1: I remember the turtleman. Yes, I remember the.
Speaker 3: Turtle He was there one time.
Speaker 4: Didn't he get like did they just stop and show
Speaker 4: because they were saying like he was planting turtles and
Speaker 4: bonds and then going in and getting them. Yeah, oh
Speaker 4: imagine that reality TV being fake? Whoever saw that coming?
Speaker 1: And he's still like actively caught the animal. I think
Speaker 1: it was just like they released the animal on there,
Speaker 1: this person's property, and then it was like, I got
Speaker 1: a turtle problem. I'm going to need the turtle point.
Speaker 4: Being like we used to have just random celebrities sometimes
Speaker 4: just wandering through the halls and now we don't have
Speaker 4: it at all. But now I'm let's take a break
Speaker 4: and I'll go find out.
Speaker 3: Who it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, go see he was performing. We'll be right back
Speaker 1: A five nine two two eight seven. It is the
Speaker 1: ks apprecia.
Speaker 3: Do you know who this is?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: But is that who's performing at the Ihear studios?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, do you do? You know the name Preston Cooper?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: No, well you do?
Speaker 4: Now he was apparently just I don't even know where
Speaker 4: they would put the performers because like you walk into
Speaker 4: this building, there's really like nowhere to perform. You have
Speaker 4: to set up right right in the middle of the
Speaker 4: cells pit.
Speaker 1: That's my question. There really isn't I mean, is he
Speaker 1: in the news room?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Right in, Yeah he is.
Speaker 4: I poked my head around the corner and he was
Speaker 4: sitting there with his guitar.
Speaker 1: He's just going acoustic, yeah middle. Okay, Well good, I mean,
Speaker 1: at least there's people in the office for you to
Speaker 1: have musicians around. If it's not officered On and me.
Speaker 1: In the Lexington studios, there's nobody there.
Speaker 3: Well, there's not a whole lot of people.
Speaker 4: I mean, basically, he performed in front of a crowd
Speaker 4: of about seven.
Speaker 3: But you know, you gotta get him wanted at a time.
Speaker 1: I guess right, serenading Paul Miles in the newsroom. I'm
Speaker 1: sure that's very nice. What did you say?
Speaker 3: His name was a good Preston Cooper.
Speaker 1: Preston Cooper. Okay, I'll have to check him out, Shannon.
Speaker 1: Before we go, I did want to mention there is
Speaker 1: a one of one bottle of Pappy van Winkle that
Speaker 1: sold at an auction over the weekend. I want you
Speaker 1: to guess how much you think this bottle of alcohol
Speaker 1: sold for. I'll preface it with this. It is the
Speaker 1: most expensive bottle of alcohol post prohibition. So what do
Speaker 1: you think?
